Chapter 134: Knowing and Knowing Others
In fact, Chen Shi was worried too much.
For clothing companies, every franchisee is a treasure.
These clothing companies are eager to open franchise stores in every corner of the country, selling their clothes, and receiving the franchise fee is slim.
Of course, considering the practical issues, it is not recommended that franchise stores be too close to each other and compete fiercely.
If there are many franchise stores that fail to invest, they will be labeled as a loss-making clothing brand for branding companies, and the losses will be huge.
Franchisees and clothing companies pay attention to win-win results.
Chen Shi's words just now shocked the bosses in the reception room and chatted with him even more enthusiastically.
"Little brother, have you rented so many shops? It's amazing, do you have other businesses at home?"
"This little brother is amazing, I just plan to open a shop of 100 square meters."
Chen Shi's faint expression pretended to be awesome.
It’s not that installing a fork is useless. He can also learn about other clothing companies from these bosses.
Many of them were consulting one by one, saving Chen Shi a lot of time.
After waiting for a while, the staff of Semir just now came with a middle-aged slightly fat man behind him.
The slightly fat man greeted Chen Shi under the instructions of the young girl just now:
"May I ask, is this Mr. Chen? Hello, welcome to Semir."
"Hello!"
The two of them made some polite decisions and shook hands.
This slightly fat man is Ma Chao, the investment promotion manager of Semir Clothing Company.
After introducing each other, the reception room.
"I heard that Mr. Chen has rented more than a dozen large-area shops? I wonder where it is?"
"In Rongcheng, two companies have signed rental contracts and have paid the payment. They are waiting for the brand to enter and are looking for shops in the future. I have more than a dozen shops open." After Chen Shi finished speaking, he took out the rental contract from his file bag.
Manager Ma looked at the rental contract, the photos of the shop, and the two-dimensional dimensions.
"Hiss, Mr. Chen, is amazing, strong."
Manager Ma has to admire that, not to mention anything else, the rent and transfer fees of the two shops alone cost 2 million, and the location is in the commercial center.
In other words, I no longer suspect that what Chen Shi said was fake.
When the shop materials are actually reviewed, the branch will be asked to send someone to review them.
"I heard that Mr. Chen plans to be a brand agent?"
"I wonder if there are any vacant seats in Sichuan Province?"
"I'll check it for you!"
Manager Ma called on the spot and said to Chen Shi after a while, "There are no more vacant seats, but I can apply for one for you, this is not a problem."
The company's business is booming, and the agency rights in provinces across the country have been divided up.
However, there are more than one province agents in each province. If the applicant has many local resources and strong financial strength, they can be adapted.
Shops like Chen Shi that have a large number of commercial centers have strong financial strength, so there is no hurry to welcome them.
Leaving one and then acting on behalf of other brands is a hidden danger for the company.
Chen Shi asked: "Manager Ma, I want to know about your company's agency requirements and pickup discounts."
"The provincial agent has a 33% discount, and the municipal agent has a minimum of 35% discount. The indicators are different, and the rebates are also different."
"It's too high, I don't think Meibang is that high." Chen Shi was very dissatisfied with the discount price for the purchase.
"Also, I learned that your price is much higher, which is a bit vague. The production costs of the two brands are not much different. Even if your brand is strong, the ex-factory price will not be that much higher."
"The discount is too vain. I'm looking at the actual price."
Chen Shi's words directly finished what Manager Ma needed to refute.
Manager Ma really wants to say that Mebang has fallen, our production costs are high, quality is higher, marketing costs are also high, and the factory price is higher, and we sell better.
"Chen Shi, the two brands cannot be compared. If we do ours, if we sell twice as much, wouldn't it be more profitable?"
Chen Shi shook his head and retorted: "What you are talking about is assumption, this assumption does not hold true. Maybe those with low prices are better sold. Meibang has just taken the wrong path over the years, but the quality of clothing is not bad, and many franchise stores have good business."
“The discount price is too high, I won’t accept it.”
Chen Shi's tone was very tough, and there would be no loss if he said this.
He left today and could also talk back.
But what the other party was worried about was that Chen Shi left today and would not look back. Who knew what Chen Shi thought?
Chen Shi saw Manager Ma hesitating and said in another way: "Or it would be fine if I and your company signed a bet agreement."
"The monthly sales of a single store exceed one million yuan, that is, the purchase amount is 330,000 yuan, and the discount is reduced to 30% off;
If it is 2 million yuan, the discount on purchases will be reduced to 27% off;
If it is five million yuan, the discount on purchases will be reduced to 20% off.”
Chen Shi's words made Manager Ma dumbfounded.
The monthly sales of a single store exceeds one million yuan, which means that the average daily sales exceeds 30,000 yuan.
Even shops with an area of 300 square meters are too unlikely.
If there is such a store, except for purchase costs, rent and labor costs, the monthly profit can reach 500,000 yuan, and no matter how small it is, it will be a profit of 400,000 yuan.
The business of this kind of store is very good, but the number of stores in the country is too small.
But he said that the monthly sales of a single store reached 2 million yuan, and it still sells Semir clothing instead of luxury brands. Manager Ma must have never seen it. Semir is not as popular as a store.
He felt that Chen Shi was nonsense.
As for the monthly sales of a single store exceeding 5 million yuan, there is no such store.
It may be possible that luxury brand clothing stores can reach it individually in a month, but it is unlikely that they can reach it every month.
Manager Ma’s possibility is that Chen Shi may make a list of goods.
It is just that several agents collude to get goods, while other agents only ensure that they complete the monthly indicators, and then everyone fakes them and gets a lower purchase discount together, so that everyone's costs will be reduced.
If you really agree, the company will suffer great losses.
The sales are still so much, but the data is fake.
No matter what, if there is no evidence, these agents cannot offend them.
Manager Ma pondered for a while and replied politely: "Mr. Chen, your request is too outrageous. Even if our boss is here, he will not agree to such meaningless betting conditions.
Our production costs are more than 20% off."
“If the agent can complete the sales metric every month, there will be discounts.”
Chen Shi shook his head: "The discount is too small. The monthly purchase is 10 million, only three points, and the rebate is 300,000."
"If you have a 30% discount on purchases, then you will only get a rebate of 910,000 yuan, which is different from three points. Are you going to play with the concept?"
"Manager Ma, you might as well ask your boss what the bottom line is. If that's OK, I'll act as an agent for you Semir."
This kind of brand clothing is not unique, it has too many substitutions.
If it is a monopoly commodity, it is difficult to be an agent.
That's why Chen Shi dared to say so domineeringly that it would be a loss for them to act on Semir if they didn't act on behalf of others.
In this kind of negotiation, knowing one's own knowledge will have advantages.
Chen Shi knew about the situation of this brand, but Manager Ma didn’t know about Chen Shi’s general situation, but he just knew that Chen Shi had strong funds and many stores.
If he doesn't do it, if his superiors ask, he will suffer.
In this case, the best way is to pass the blame. When the boss asks about it later, it is not his business. Therefore, when you can't control it, it's better to ask your superiors.
Manager Ma thought of this and said to Chen Shi: "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I will ask our vice president. He is responsible for this. Your request has exceeded my authority."
Manager Ma asked Chen Shi to wait for a while. He wanted to go to the vice president's place to ask a subordinate to entertain Chen Shi, and then leave quickly by himself.
Chen Shi nodded. He was not in a hurry, so he could only inspect Semir today.
