Chapter 60 Breaking the Game (2)
The young lady came in and was Mr. Jiao’s wife, named Zhou Hong. She has big face and big eyes, shoulder-length hair, and fair skin. She looks less than thirty years old.
Although she had a baby face and had a curved smile, Wang Ye knew that this was a powerful person. In her dream, Zhou Hong became the brand of Wang Ye's second company. In just two years, she opened twelve stores in C State, and made the brand known to everyone in C State. Once when Wang Ye and her husband were having dinner, she heard her husband, Mr. Jiao, joke that Zhou Hong's annual net profits had exceeded his small real estate company.
This is really not a joke. Wang Ye of course knew that the total sales of Zhou Hong Twelve stores reached 26 million that year, with a gross profit of 60%, and the gross profit was more than 15 million, and the net profit was estimated to be about 10 million. To be honest, just like Mr. Jiao's small real estate company, which only developed a real estate project in two or three years. After deducting the high bank loan interest, the annual net profit may not be 10 million.
Several people sat on the sofa and started chatting about the Huashang brand. The main thing was Wang Ye and Zhou Hong talking. The other two belonged to the audience, but they just kept saying "yes" and "yes" from time to time.
Although Zhou Hong had never done a clothing business before, she could hear from the conversation that she did her homework in advance and knew the most mainstream women's clothing brands on the market at present.
At the end, Zhou Hong also made it clear that she was optimistic about the Huashang brand. However, because she had never done this business, she wanted to be more secure and try opening a store first.
This is not in line with Wang Ye's plan. If only one store is signed for Zhou Hong, his entire plan for the old fox Ma Kaixuan will be wasted.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Wang Ye raised his head and stared at Zhou Hong, and said sincerely: "It was enough for my colleague Li Qinghuan to talk to you here, but I came here specifically for a reason."
After pausing, Zhou Hong looked at him with some confusion, and Wang Ye said again: "Since Sister Zhou has done market research, she should have known about the clothing circle in Xiangnan, and know about Ma Kaixuan from Shashi."
Zhou Hong nodded: "Well, I know him, an agent with a strong strength. Several bosses in our State C who do better clothes seem to be his customers."
Wang Ye confessed: "I also talked to Mr. Ma before coming to C State. What he meant was that the entire Hunan Province would be handed over to him, and I did not agree for the time being."
Looking at Wang Ye in a little shocked manner, Zhou Hong asked foolishly: "Why don't you agree? Aren't big customers like Ma Kaixuan the ones that all brand companies are competing for cooperation?" Li Qinghuan and Mr. Jiao also stared at Wang Ye, not understanding what he meant.
Spreading his hands, Wang Ye said distressedly: "Mr. Ma has raised the conditions a little high. He has communicated with you, the big customers in the city below, and is preparing to build the Huashang brand together. Today I came to see you specifically, just to choose a few customers outside their circle to cooperate with. You understand what I mean."
Mr. Jiao and Zhou Hongneng opened a real estate company and naturally understood these routines. They suddenly realized and nodded in agreement, believing that Wang Ye’s choice was understandable.
Wang Ye continued: "If the company cooperates directly with you customers, the provincial agency will be missing, and the purchase discount you get will naturally be much lower. The company's approach is to directly give the profits of the provincial agency to municipal agency customers, but requires municipal agency customers to open their own stores. This is to facilitate management, and the other is to reduce the intermediate links and increase the profit margin of terminal stores."
While listening to Wang Ye's explanation, Zhou Hong nodded slowly. She asked: "What Manager Wang means is that the company only plans to recruit municipal-level agent customers?"
Wang Ye simply replied: "Yes. If you make a single store for you and give the agent to Mr. Ma and the others, then you still have to get the goods through them. Whether you can open a store in the future and wherever you go, they have to decide."
This is Wang Ye who leveraged the power to fight. He had to dispel Zhou Hong's idea of opening only one store. He understood the character of people like Zhou Hong and was naturally strong. She was very valuable and would not accept that she would be slapped by other agents in the future. It would be meaningless to her to open a store in a small way. She just said that she opened a store first was just for caution. Her ultimate goal was to take over the agency rights of the entire region.
But Wang Ye is now frankly showing the situation, forcing her to make a choice. Either she is working as a municipal agent or not.
Wang Ye is confident that he dares to force her like this. He has already explained the situation. It is not that he does not want to build a single store for her, but that the reality does not allow it. Moreover, since Zhou Hong's personality has said that she wants to be Hua Shang, she has naturally thought about it and will not give up easily.
The biggest difference between a single store and a municipal agent is the amount of money invested. According to opening ten stores, it takes about five million to invest. This amount is a large number for most people, but for Zhou Hong, it is not as small as it is, but at best, it should be considered a medium number.
Not to mention that her husband's real estate company makes millions of profits every year, as Wang Ye knows, her mother's family has a mine, not an ordinary mine, but a real gold mine...
Zhou Hong pondered for a moment, looked at her husband, and Mr. Jiao smiled freely and said, "Everything is what you said, but Manager Wang is right. Is it okay for us to deal with the company directly? Why do we have to pass through Ma Kaixuan and the others? We are not from the same circle as them!"
This is what you can say with confidence!
Zhou Hong also smiled slightly: "Yes, just do it bigger. Anyway, the child is easy to take care of now, so I also need to find something to do. I am very interested in the clothing industry. This time I happened to meet a good brand like Huashang, which is also an opportunity."
Let’s talk about the following. Wang Ye explained the company’s requirements for municipal agents. In areas like C State, an agent must be opened to fifteen stores. Of course, the contract does not require opening at one time, just open five or six stores in the first year. If you open fifteen stores within the three-year contract period, it will meet the requirements. If there is no special situation after the contract is over, it will be postponed naturally.
Zhou Hong pulled Wang Ye and Li Qinghuan to chat from morning to lunch, and after lunch, she drove her husband Mr. Jiao back to the company. She found a clean teahouse and continued chatting. She was about to have dinner and was about to go home to see the baby before letting the two of them leave.
When he returned to the car, Wang Ye and Li Qinghuan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were very nervous when negotiating with customers, and the string in their minds was tense. When Wang Ye forced Zhou Hong to be an agent in the morning, he was sweating coldly on his back. Once he failed to succeed, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He leaned on the back of the chair and was not busy starting the vehicle. Instead, he opened the window first, lit a cigarette, and took a beautiful breath. He ordered Li Qinghuan to say: "I inform the other two groups of Zhou Hong of C State to sign a municipal agent, including your group in the future. When you meet those big customers again, be sure to let them all know this information."
Spit out a perfect smoke ring, and now you can slowly close the net, Wang Ye thought to himself,
Chapter completed!
