"Manager, I want to resign."
"I really can't do it anymore, manager. I've been working for two days and I don't have a single client. I really can't live on just the basic salary."
"Yes. Oh, manager, either give us a salary increase or we have to change jobs. Just look at it, we really can’t survive.”
Shenzhen BMW 4S Store.
Led by the gold medal sales champion, a dozen salesmen walked into the general manager's office aggressively, wanting to ask for an explanation.
If the performance was not good before, it may be their own problem.
Because the BMW brand has no shortage of buyers, any prospective car owners who have made a little money and want to buy a car will give priority to high-end brands such as BBA, and driving BBA is indeed an asset card.
Those who can afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi should at least have a million-dollar house and a job with a stable monthly income of over 10,000 yuan.
This is why many money-worshiping girls like to see what kind of car "Kaizi" drives. When they meet someone who drives a Lamborghini, McLaren or Maybach, they take the initiative to post it. People don't look at the car, but the people behind it. assets.
But now sales can't sell cars. It's not because they don't work hard, but because they have made hundreds of phone calls. No customer is willing to go to the store to test the car. The feedback they get is basically to go to the pilot car next door. It’s a 4S store.
At a price of 209,000, it has the performance of a million-dollar luxury car, and its key battery life is not inferior to that of gasoline vehicles. It even takes only 20 minutes to charge, and the exclusive version only takes 7 minutes, completely crushing gasoline vehicles.
Looking at the fierce sales, BMW 4S store manager Huang Zihao stood up and reassured: "We are already contacting the headquarters, and I believe we will have a response strategy soon. Don't be anxious, just wait patiently."
"Wait? How long do we have to wait?"
Li Shuo is not happy. As the top salesperson, he has been earning a super high salary of more than 100,000 yuan a month in the past six months. He wants to let him Back in the days when the basic salary was 2,500, he would definitely not do it.
Just after he finished speaking, he continued: "I usually make ten calls and at least one of them will come to the store to test the car. Now no one comes to test the car. Manager, you must give us a guarantee and guarantee your minimum salary this month. Can we give it enough?”
His appeal is actually very simple. It is not his problem to be able to sell cars now, but the problem of the BMW brand.
If there is no corresponding full compensation, then he would rather just change jobs.
Of course.
He actually still holds out hope.
He feels that the BMW Group must have some big moves, such as price reductions and promotions, which may earn hundreds of thousands by then.
"Yes, how long will it take?"
"Manager, you have to give me an accurate letter. If we can't sell the car, we will have to drink from the northwest. You also know the cost of living in Shenzhen. The monthly salary is not enough." I can’t survive on 4,000 yuan.”
“It costs me 1,000 yuan to rent a house. If I only get a basic salary of 2,500 yuan, the remaining 1,500 yuan won’t even be enough for food.”
“That’s it. ”
Because there is a sales leader taking the lead, the salesmen are also very tough. If they are all fired, this 4S store will not be able to continue operating.
“Alas!”
Huang Zihao sighed.
I saw him spreading his hands and saying helplessly: "I can understand your mood, but there is nothing you can do about it. Let's do this. I will go back and tell the boss that I will give you a subsidy of 1,000 yuan this month. You Go back and wait. "
After taking out the 1,000 yuan salary subsidy, sales immediately faltered, but they all looked at Li Shuo, the gold medal sales champion, and they dared to take a stand after the leader said yes. .
“1,000 yuan is too little, let’s say 1,500. There are sixteen of us, which is less than 30,000 yuan. Manager, if you say yes, then we will go back to work. If not, we will have to resign.”
Li Shuo continued to fight.
"Okay, you can go back first." Although Huang Zihao was unhappy, he still agreed. The 4S store cannot be without sales, especially for Li Shuo, who has the best sales.
Many people have never worked in sales and do not know the status of top sales.
Let's put it this way, as long as you lock in the top sales this month, even if you say you don't work, the company won't say anything, and even perfect attendance will be counted for you exactly.
Because the value of a sales crown is several million.
Using a cost of hundreds of thousands to leverage millions of profits, if you were the boss, would you be willing to let such a talent go?
Obviously.
It’s impossible to let him go.
As long as they don’t commit murder, arson, or engage in any illegal or criminal activities, the leaders will basically turn a blind eye and close their eyes no matter what.
"Then we will wait for a month and hope that the headquarters can provide a response strategy as soon as possible." After Li Shuo expressed his position, other salespeople agreed.
"That's right, we'll just wait another month."
"I have been working in our company for three years. I really don't want to change jobs. I hope to make adjustments as soon as possible."
"Then we will I went back to the manager first.”
The sales came and went quickly, leaving Huang Zihao with a sad face, checking WeChat back and forth to see if there were any new messages.
Although he is a manager and does not need to rely on commissions to make a living, if the BMW 4S store closes down, he will lose his job.
After being silent for a few seconds, he sighed and said: "When gods fight, mortals suffer, gods fight, mortals suffer!"
...
At the same time, .
The other side.
BMW Group Headquarters in Munich.
In the conference room, BMW Longguo general manager Kang Siyuan glanced at all the senior executives of the BMW Group and spoke passionately about the difficulties that the Longguo market had encountered.
“Since Chen Xing held the pilot 001 new car launch conference on February 5, our BMW sales in the Longguo market have experienced a serious decline. In just the past ten days, passenger traffic has dropped by 95%. National dealerships The store only sold 114 cars. I think the headquarters must provide greater support to the Longguo market.”
“Wow——”
The words just finished.
The conference room was in an uproar.
No one expected that the sales volume in Longguo Market would decline so severely, it could almost be said to be a decapitation-like decline.
BMW Group CEO Nagel was also surprised. He was present at the launch of Praetor 001 and experienced the shock that Praetor 001 brought to him.
But he really never thought that Pilot 001 would have such a great influence.
Only 114 cars were sold in ten days. Assume that each car can earn 50,000 yuan, which means a net profit of more than 5 million yuan.
For ordinary people, more than 5 million is an astronomical figure.
But for the BMW Group, the net profit of more than 5 million is extremely small and can be described as piecemeal.
You must know that BMW has hundreds of 4S stores in Longguo. This is equivalent to 10 days. Each store only sells one car, which is probably not enough to pay the basic salary of the employees.
“Why did it fall so seriously?”
“What kind of monster is Linghang 001? How come it has such a huge impact? Is it possible that electric vehicles are a trend?”
“Why? Our group has no electric vehicle project, I need an explanation!”
“Give me an explanation!”
There are not only BMW Group executives, but also shareholders behind the scenes. Now They all felt that their interests had been harmed and needed Nagel to give an explanation.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Nagel took a deep breath and explained the reason for not developing electric vehicles: "Although electric vehicles have simple structures and low manufacturing costs, we do not have the corresponding lithium battery technology in reserve."
“Everyone must know that once the electrolyte leaks or the diaphragm of a lithium battery is damaged, it is easy to spontaneously ignite. Vehicles are dangerous means of transportation, so we have not considered research and development in the direction of electric energy.”< br>
“Then why do they focus on this direction?”
Some shareholders asked.
“This is something we didn’t expect.” Nagel sighed and said in a deep voice: “We thought there would be no major breakthroughs in lithium battery technology in the next 30 years, but Longxing Group has continued to The introduction of polymer semi-solid and sulfide all-solid batteries led to today’s situation.”
No one expected that all-solid lithium batteries would suddenly come out.
This is not only a milestone in the energy field, but also an epoch-making work in the automotive field, because electric vehicles are indeed more environmentally friendly and intelligent than fuel vehicles.
"It's useless to talk so much. Now I need support from the headquarters." Kang Siyuan looked at Nagel and said solemnly with his eyes burning.
He not only represents an individual, but also represents hundreds of dealers in Longguo.
“Now that the matter has come to this, we can only lower the price.” Nagel shook his head helplessly.
He tried to join forces with Masik and jointly sued Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company for monopoly, but was easily resolved by others, and it was also revealed that a Pilot 001 car can earn 30,000 bucks.
When there is a net profit and no legal control, the price of a car is decided internally by the car company.
But there is an unspoken rule, that is, you cannot suppress at a loss.
If you sell a car that costs 170,000 yuan for only 150,000 yuan, then the State Administration for Market Regulation will definitely come to understand the situation, because this is suspected of disrupting market prices and is detrimental to long-term development.
“Reducing prices?”
“Why can’t vehicle configurations be improved?”
Some shareholders continued to ask questions.
Although the BMW Group is a car-making company, not all shareholders are concerned about car-making. Some of them are purely venture capital banks.
This is like Chen Xing investing in MiHoYo and betting on Honor of Kings. He doesn’t care about how these games are operated to make money. He only cares about how much income these investment projects can bring to him.
In response to shareholders’ questions, Nagel patiently replied: “We need the BMW 3 Series to achieve the performance of the M4 for 2.81 seconds of acceleration from 100 meters to 100 meters. 200,000 dragon national currency cannot do it at all. A 3.0 The cost of the six-cylinder twin-turbo engine is only 320,000 yuan. Now we can only rely on the brand effect to slowly stabilize the market. "
In terms of performance, BMW really can't compare.
Because the engine uses chemical energy, that is, by burning gasoline and diesel, it explodes the energy contained inside, and finally converts it into mechanical energy to push the car forward.
The motor is different, it directly uses the internal power of the lithium battery to drive.
When it comes to conversion, it means energy loss, and energy loss means weakened power. This is why electric vehicles have better acceleration and torque than fuel vehicles.
“How much?”
Kang Siyuan asked.
“Cut off 90% of profits and withdraw funds first.” Nagel came up with a bold idea.
Now the shareholders couldn't sit still, and someone immediately questioned: "Do you want to dump all the vehicles in stock to raise funds?"
"Otherwise?" Nagel asked rhetorically.
Linghang 001 is now coming fiercely. If the inventory is not cleared in time, a large number of existing cars may be lost.
The Longguo market is not the most critical yet. If Linghang 001 has overcapacity, it will definitely move towards the international market to use a larger market to absorb production capacity.
This means that there is not much time left for the BMW Group.
Everyone in the conference room was silent. No one expected that their century-old car company would be overthrown by a joint venture brand that was established less than 2 years ago. This is simply a shame and humiliation.
But they have no solution, because commercial competitiveness is king.
If you have the strength, let alone a century-old car company, even a millennium car company or a ten thousand-year-old car company will still be overthrown.
Seeing the silence in the conference room, Nagel also made a decision: "Then it's decided. First, clear out the inventory trucks and withdraw funds to deal with future situations."
"We can only do this. That’s it.”
“Just do what you say.”
Everyone expressed their opinions.
No one knows what else Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company are hiding. The last resort now is to withdraw the funds and wait for the storm to pass.
Not only the BMW Group, but also more than 150,000 cars from the Mercedes-Benz Group, Audi Group, General Motors Group and Ford Group have experienced a decline in sales during this period.
Cars, like mobile phones, have market segments.
For example, cars priced between RMB 30,000 and RMB 80,000 are basically sold by Laotou Le and Wuling Hongguang, which is the bottom market. Car owners in this price range will not buy a coupe priced at RMB 200,000 or more.
1 is no money.
2 is not used.
80,000 to 150,000 is the sinking market for cars. Cars in this price range are mainly used for daily transportation, and there is basically no performance to talk about.
For cars priced at over 150,000 yuan, performance can gradually be discussed, such as acceleration from 0 to 100 mph and shock absorption and wind resistance.
The price of 209,000 yuan for the standard version of the Pilot 001 will not affect the car buyers below 150,000, nor will it affect the sales volume of the corresponding vehicles.
There are hundreds of car companies in the world, large and small, and the only one that can still barely breathe is General Motors Group, because it holds 44% of Wuling Hongguang's shares, and Wuling Hongguang's main car brand is 10 Cars below 10,000.
......
The worst one in this round of impact is undoubtedly the Japanese car.
Japanese cars mainly focus on fuel economy and low vehicle cost, while electric vehicles also focus on low vehicle cost.
Not talking about the maintenance of the engine and motor, just talking about gasoline or electricity, which one is cheaper?
Everyone knows with their buttocks that except for oil-rich countries, electricity is definitely cheaper than gasoline in other countries. There is no doubt about this.
In just ten days, Nissan Motor Group, Mitsubishi Group, Honda Group and Toyota Group have frequently adjusted their strategies.
Originally they were thinking of moving their factories to Southeast Asian countries and continuing to import Japanese cars to take advantage of the domestic market. But now they are confused. Fuel vehicles are no longer popular, and their plans to build automobile factories in Southeast Asia have also been blocked. stranded.
Not only that, the automobile sector of Japanese stocks also experienced fluctuations.
Even if it is as strong as Wall Street, it can barely withstand the selling pressure from island investors.
Not only Japanese stocks, but also stock markets around the world have caused shocks in the automotive sector. The automotive sector in the German stock market has experienced a 12% drop, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
Corresponding to this is the rise in lithium batteries and the electric energy sector.
It is no exaggeration to say that although Linghang 001 has not gone abroad, its influence has already emerged.
At this time, Wall Street giant Buffett once again wielded his butcher knife towards the stock markets of other countries, targeting the automobile sector.
Not only Buffett, but other financial giants are showing their fangs.
Chen Xing’s reshuffle gave them an opportunity to reach out to the stock markets of other countries and harvest wealth.
But the money they earned did not go into their pockets. Instead, they invested it in rice stocks and followed the Jewish family to lift the Dow Jones Index.
If Nasdaq represents the high technology of the United States, then Dow Jones is the epitome of the manufacturing and oil industries of the United States.
They will not let the U.S. economy fall to the bottom, because Jewish capital needs this powerful country to provide shelter.
If they lose their asylum, they may start wandering again.
At Double Capital Management Institution, Wei Yan, who is wearing a loose suit, shiny hair, and a perfect American elite image, is holding a cup of coffee and quietly watching the fluctuations of rice stocks.
Since he has "recognized his ancestors" and become a recognized Asian Jew, he has also successfully entered the Jewish core circle.
After entering the inner circle, he found that the world was too dark.
In the past perceptions of investors, the United States has very strong financial supervision and has a complete joint system and compensation system.
In 2001, Enron, the world's largest energy services and management company and No. 7 in the world, was stopped from trading stocks due to financial fraud, assisted in the fraud, and its sponsors were fined a total of US$7.7 billion.
What is the concept of US$7.7 billion?
In 2001, Buffett was worth only 18 billion U.S. dollars. Now his worth has increased 6 times, which is equivalent to 7.7 billion U.S. dollars. Now, the value is at least 6 times, equivalent to 46.2 billion U.S. dollars. The fine of 270 billion dragon national currency can be imagined to be an astronomical amount of money.
But Wei Yan gradually discovered that Enron was actually a chess piece, a chess piece sacrificed by Jewish capital.
As for the US$7.7 billion fine, this is just a gimmick to attract international capital.
As we all know, the US Internet bubble burst in 2000, and the US stock market suffered a severe decline. It oversold by 30% at one time. It also fell in 2001, falling by 17% in only half a year.
Since the United States is a financial country, in this halved market situation, Jewish Capital and Angsa Capital reached a consensus and made a bold decision, that is, to push Enron to die in exchange for the trust of international funds.
Because the most important thing about the stock market is the confidence of investors. As long as the confidence of investors can be restored, the decline can be reversed.
Enron became a sacrificial pawn, and the sponsors also became victims.
Their sacrifice also allowed the world to see the strength of US financial supervision and its "fairness and justice."
As the Enron case settled, rice stocks began to soar and have been in a bull market for more than ten years.
Enron did not disappear, it just changed its name, and all its previous businesses were taken over by Global Fuel Services, which is equivalent to being an empty shell.
As Wei Yan penetrated into the inner circle, he became aware of a large number of unknown secrets. In addition to the inside story of Enron's sacrifice, there was also the continuous falsification of U.S. economic data.
It is no exaggeration to say that all the data disclosed by the United States are artificially controlled.
The reason why Wei Yan knows so much is because Dovich, the future successor of the Federal Reserve Bank of America, wants to use Wei Yan's prestige in the Chinese community to make him responsible for falsifying an economic data in the United States and deceive Chinese Americans into entering Nasdaq. Stark invested and finally acted as a taker.
“Dong Dong——”
While Wei Yan was watching the stock market fluctuations, there was a knock on his office door.
The person who came was none other than David Vitch, the heir to the Federal Reserve Bank of America and the future patriarch of the Rothschild family.
"How's it going?"
Davich closed the door and got straight to the point.
Wei Yan put down the coffee cup, opened the drawer and took out a document and said: "The consumption index has been made into a growth trend chart according to your request, and my agency has done a survey to guarantee it. As long as our consumption data in the United States is good, then there is no need Cut interest rates to stimulate the economy."
"Good job."
Davich picked up the document and looked at it.
After a brief reading, he had to admit that Wei Yan was a talent.
He did not blindly grow, but made follow-up predictions based on the economic data obtained, such as non-agricultural employment, average wage annual rate, CPI and other data, and marked out the fluctuations in the stock market that can be harvested point in time.
"Let my organization come forward. The more retail investors are killed, the more dangerous I will be. Maybe I should pack up my things and change places."
Wei Yan suddenly spoke.
Davich also understood what he meant, and smiled and said: "I won't treat you badly. When you get someone to take over, you can go directly to the Fed to work as an economic analyst."
< br>"Thank you in advance."
Wei Yan looked happy and thanked him quickly.
Joining the Federal Reserve Bank of America means that he can have access to more core information and collect more evidence. When the time is right, he can give the United States a small financial shock.
Wei Yan was thinking about it, and Davidic also had his own ideas.
In fact, he did not fully trust Wei Yan because he was of the yellow race. Even though the Bible did record that a Jewish group went to the East, he still remained highly vigilant.
Since this period of time, he has intentionally or unintentionally revealed the news that he wants the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, but he has not noticed anything strange about Wei Yan. He is still eating, drinking, and looking for supermodels. .
This time, asking him to give the growth trend of the consumption index based on other economic data is also a test for him, because Davich has no intention of adopting Wei Yan’s growth trend. What he has to do now is to keep an eye on the water supply. There is an undercurrent surging below, and if anything seems strange, Wei Yan will be the suspect.
“Dong Dong——”
Someone knocked on the door again.
Next second.
A female assistant wearing hip-covering black stockings and billowy waves pushed the door in and quickly said: "Manager, Mr. Huang..."
She saw Davidic in , and quickly swallowed the words back.
"Mr. Huang, right? I understand. You go out and entertain them first. I'll come back later." Wei Yan waved his hand and motioned to go out.
“Okay.”
The assistant in black stockings twisted her hips and left.
As soon as the office door closed, Wei Yan stood up and said: "Bosco Bosco, the richest Chinese man in New York City, you must have an impression of Mr. Davidch. He came to my door several times just because he wanted me to do fund management."< br>
"I have an impression. Since you have something to be busy with, I won't bother you."
"Then let's talk in detail next time."
"Let's talk next time. "
The two of them smiled and shook hands politely. Under the seemingly calm appearance, they actually had eight hundred thoughts.
