Chapter 510 Low Price
What would happen if the products with higher added value were replaced for accounting?
For example, if the production object is converted into a CNC lathe, it will not only not increase the burden on itself, but may slightly reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process.
You know, the profit that each CNC lathe can bring is much higher than that of a watch! Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel more and more happy.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It turned out to be Liao Lieying who came to ask:
"What are you going to eat for lunch?"
After hearing the voice, He Yuzhu smiled and waved to her to come over.
Seeing this, Liao Lieying cursed softly:
"Really annoying!"
But even though he said this, his body was honest and walked towards He Yuzhu obediently, and sat on his knees.
Then, the two began to be affectionate and flirty with each other, showing their deep love.
After a while, they walked to the cafeteria hand in hand.
This small cafeteria is a place frequented by the company's senior executives, because the chefs here are all He Yuzhu's newly recruited apprentices.
Although they are young, their cooking skills are quite impressive. The meals they make are delicious and in no way inferior to those in big restaurants outside.
After lunch, He Yuzhu first went to the warehouse and took out all 5 watches and put them away properly.
Afterwards, he took the opportunity to purchase and store a batch of raw materials and put them into his own special space in case of emergency.
After taking a quick look around the warehouse, He Yuzhu returned to the office satisfied.
Then, he sent a message through the internal communication system to summon relevant personnel to attend the meeting.
Previously, the company hired a general manager named Chen Jiacong to coordinate and manage all affairs.
As the business continued to expand, two deputy general managers were subsequently recruited, namely Wu Zhihao and Zheng Tianyu.
Thus, these three people constitute the core of the company's senior leadership team. However, there are more than just these three people in the company's senior management.
Among them, the position of Financial Director is held by Liao Lieying. At present, the senior management members of the entire company are just these few people.
Let’s look at Huang Zhirou. Her position is He Yuzhu’s assistant. Although she is not a senior executive in the full sense of the word, she can be considered a half-senior executive.
As for the Du sisters? As they were both pregnant, He Yuzhu cared for them and did not arrange for them to work too hard in the company. As for Du Guanghe, he did not hold any position in the company.
However, he was not idle, but was responsible for handling some more secretive matters, such as underground activities and secret smuggling business.
It should be noted that the smuggling activities engaged in by He Yuzhu were limited to transporting various items to the mainland and did not involve any other products that violated regulations or disciplines.
At this moment, He Yuzhu was sitting in the main seat, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive. After everyone gathered together, he got straight to the point and said:
"Our company's cash flow is quite tight right now! For this reason, I tried every possible means to get a batch of watches. The top priority for the next period of time is to successfully sell these watches."
As soon as the voice fell, Liao Lieying asked with surprise:
"But isn't the watch still in production?"
He Yuzhu smiled slightly and responded:
"These watches are not produced in our own factory. I purchased them from other places."
Liao Lieying knew very well that He Yuzhu was currently developing business cooperation with the mainland.
After hearing this, she just responded lightly, saying that she already knew about it, but did not continue to ask for more details.
At this time, Chen Jiacong said:
"I'm just a little curious. I wonder if the goods we got this time have any competitive advantage?"
He then explained:
"The prices of low-end watches on the market today are generally around HK$200. The watches launched by our Aegean brand are also positioned as low-end products, but our main strategy is to seize market share by quantity. If we purchase a large number of goods at one time, the shipping price can be reduced to 100 yuan per piece."
“How could it be so low?”
Wu Zhihao asked in astonishment.
You know, although they are in the prosperous and bustling Hong Kong area, and the business activities here are quite large, in most cases, the type of business they are engaged in is still mainly re-export trade.
Simply put, it means purchasing goods from other places and shipping them to Hong Kong, and then sending these goods to other regions for sale.
In a business model like this, which acts as a middleman, the profits that can be obtained are often quite limited.
Even though many businesses can complete trading transactions worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in a year, the actual net profit that actually goes into their pockets is only 20% to 30%.
Therefore, when people found out that the factory price of the watch, which originally had a market price of 200, was only 100, they were all shocked - because there was a huge profit margin between the two!
Even Zheng Tianyu couldn't help but agree:
"Yes, this wholesale price is indeed very affordable. How about we raise it a little bit?"
He Yuzhu said seriously:
"Everyone, listen carefully! According to our market analysis and research, the current positioning of Aegean watches among the general public is low-end. Therefore, our primary goal this time is to severely reduce the price of this watch. I think we must first control the price of this watch to less than 150 yuan."
He paused, then explained,
"If we also follow the high-end brand route, it will not be easy to promote it successfully! We have to invest a lot of money in advertising on radio stations and major newspapers for a long time and continuously. Only in this way can ordinary people gradually accept and recognize it.
But to be honest, I don't really like this slow approach. Think about it, the cost of producing this watch is relatively low. If we can cleverly use this advantage to launch a price war, wouldn't we be able to sell all these watches quickly?
Even if each watch is priced at only 50 yuan, we can still make a profit! And don’t forget, we don’t just rely on this business to make a living, there are many other industries to support us! ”
When everyone heard this, they were very surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a while, they nodded in agreement.
Before long, a detailed sales plan was finalized - the final retail price of the watch was set at 148 yuan.
After the meeting, the official sales of the watch were immediately put on the agenda.
First, they carefully designed and printed a large number of exquisite promotional leaflets; then, they packed these leaflets and watches together and sent them to various businesses they had cooperated with before, hoping to open up market sales as soon as possible with the help of their extensive channel resources.
He Yuzhu arranged the next work tasks in an orderly manner. He decided to go to the market again to purchase various raw materials needed to make watches, and at the same time purchase the necessary materials for transistor radios.
However, these precious materials cannot be stored arbitrarily in the company's existing warehouses.
Huang Zhiru was surprised to hear this arrangement. She asked in confusion, "Why do we have to send them to the warehouse in Tuen Mun?"
Facing Huang Zhiru's question, He Yuzhu just waved his hand and answered concisely:
"Don't worry about it. Just do as I say from now on."
In fact, they had already spent HK$32 to buy the warehouse in Tuen Mun long before, and the relevant procedures are being processed in full swing. It is believed that it will be officially put into use soon.
Huang Zhiru thought for a moment, and suddenly recalled that the base over there would be mainly responsible for developing trade with the mainland in the future. The doubts in her heart immediately dissipated a lot, so she stopped asking.
At this time, He Yuzhu changed the subject and mentioned another matter: "How is the progress of the yacht purchase I asked you to do before?"
Huang Zhiru shook her head and responded helplessly:
"Those yachts are too expensive, and almost all of them need to be specially customized according to the customer's requirements. There are no ready-made ones to choose from. Besides, the funds on our company's books are not very abundant at present, especially those reserved funds for building houses must not be used easily!"
After listening to this explanation, He Yuzhu felt a little disappointed, but he still nodded in understanding and said:
"Well, we'll have to wait and see for now. But even if we don't buy a yacht, we must buy a motor boat."
The motorboat mentioned here is not the kind of luxurious and majestic yacht. It is usually only three or four meters long.
After all, in the Hong Kong area, such small boats can be seen everywhere at the docks.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Since Tuen Mun is quite far away, if we could have such a small and flexible motor boat as a means of transportation, it would bring great convenience to our daily travel.
Huang Zhirou nodded slightly to show that she understood. She picked up a pen and carefully wrote down everything in a notebook.
Then, she began to describe her work in detail. Time passed quickly, and it was the next day.
In the early morning, the phone suddenly rang. After Huang Zhirou answered the phone, a happy smile appeared on her face.
It turned out to be a call from a trading company, who expressed great interest in the watches and hoped to get them as soon as possible.
The reason is that the wholesale price of this watch is too attractive, and the low cost gives these businesses a huge profit margin. With just a little resale, they can earn a huge profit.
Not long after, a general-purpose motor boat was successfully purchased.
He Yuzhu stood at the bow, carefully observing the various facilities and operating buttons on the ship.
After some simple exploration and trial, he quickly mastered the essentials of driving the boat. Then, he started the boat without hesitation and headed towards Tuen Mun.
When the motorboat arrived at Tuen Mun, the company staff had been waiting there for a long time. He Yuzhu quickly directed everyone to work together and carefully load the goods into the cars parked on the shore.
When everything was ready, he drove away himself and found a more secluded and unnoticed corner.
After arriving at the destination, he used his magical powers to instantly store the entire batch of goods into his own special space.
After completing this action, he started the car again and started the return journey.
After returning to the starting point, He Yuzhu returned the car intact to the relevant personnel.
However, this time he did not leave in a hurry like last time.
The last time he came to Tuen Mun, due to the tight schedule, he just sat in the car and watched the busy scene on the road pass by without getting out to check.
And today, he decided to take a good look around this place.
So, instead of going directly to the pier, he strolled into the market in Tuen Mun.
At this time, although the Hong Kong Island area was extremely prosperous with more than ten-story buildings standing side by side, Tuen Mun still retained a strong rural atmosphere.
The streets are lined with quaint shops and houses. There are not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally you can see a few villagers walking leisurely.
Looking around, all you see are small buildings that are only two or three stories high.
These buildings appear to have gone through years of vicissitudes and appear quite old and dilapidated.
The road under my feet is also rugged and bumpy, as if telling the story of past prosperity and present desolation.
Looking at the mountain from afar, you can see that there are many simple shacks built privately, dotted around in a disorderly manner.
Such scenes can't help but remind people of the scenes in Jackie Chan's early movies, which can be seen everywhere.
He Yuzhu looked around with great interest and felt extremely curious about everything in front of him that was full of retro atmosphere.
Sometimes I would stop and take out my camera to capture these unique views as souvenirs.
Just then, a slightly shabby minibus slowly drove by. He Yuzhu stretched out his hand without hesitation and signaled the driver to stop.
After the vehicle stopped steadily, he quickly paid the fare and boarded the bus bound for Tuen Mun city center.
Although there is no clear administrative level of "city" in Hong Kong, people usually divide each area into different districts according to their functions.
The more central area in Tuen Mun District is commonly referred to as the city centre.
The moment He Yuzhu stepped onto the bus, he began to regret his choice.
The car kept moving forward and passengers kept getting on. Before long, the car became extremely crowded and there was almost no space between people.
Not only that, due to the poor road conditions, the vehicle was extremely bumpy while driving, causing He Yuzhu's body to shake constantly along with the vehicle body.
This terrible riding experience made him miserable, and he thought to himself: If I had known this would happen, I would have driven here by myself, which would have been more convenient and comfortable!
However, just when he was feeling depressed, a new focus appeared in his sight - a young girl with a pretty face and graceful figure was walking towards him.
She was wearing a light blue dress and had a single ponytail on her head, looking fresh and clean. A smile immediately broke out on her face, revealing her white teeth. Combined with her tall stature and slightly bulging breasts, the girl had a unique charm.
He Yuzhu glanced at her from time to time, and somehow was seen by the girl. The girl glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and raised her little fist in protest.
