Chapter 197 Experience Store Opening Plan
After the matter has been clearly explained, the affairs of Hutchison Telecommunications Company have been settled. As for the follow-up issues, Wei Li will be responsible for it.
As the president of a company with a market value of billions, if he cannot do this, he is incompetent.
As it happens, it’s time for dinner.
After leaving Hutchison Telecommunications with Wei Li, the two of them prepared to have lunch in a private room of a nearby restaurant. By the way, they could also chat about the recent development of Hutchison Whampoa.
"Boss, the brand experience store you mentioned is such a great idea. After detailed discussions with Mr. Yang Chaoye, I decided to start selecting locations around the world immediately. The first batch of ten stores are waiting for the Su Group. The Oracle computer opened within a week of its release," Weili said with a smile.
"Are you a bit rushed at this time?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.
It is already September 14th, and there is only half a month left before the Oracle computer conference arranged by Yang Chaoye.
Even though the opening time is one week later than the computer launch conference, the time for site selection, decoration, company registration, etc., is more than 20 days, and the time is indeed very tight.
“No, because within a week of the press conference, the popularity is still there, which is helpful to increase the popularity of our brand experience store. If the opening is too late, the popularity will drop, which will be detrimental to the opening effect of the brand experience store.
And we have now allocated work. The first batch of stores, 4 experience stores in Europe are opened by the Su Group, 4 experience stores in the Americas are opened by our Hutchison Whampoa Group, and the other two in Asia , respectively Xiangjiang and Tokyo.
We have already discussed that in the future, both groups will share the same store name and no longer need to operate separately. After stabilization, the two parties will form a joint venture together to build a brand experience chain store for separate operations. Although there are advantages and disadvantages, generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As for the store name, it would be better to combine the representative brands of the two groups, such as Oracle & Hutchison Experience Store. Of course, the specific store name has not yet been determined. , to be discussed together.
The Su Group has branches in Europe, so they are responsible for that side of Europe. We have branches in Europe and the United States, so it can be anywhere. It is very simple for the person in charge there to choose the location. Our The requirements are also simple. The address should be in the busiest commercial area in the city center, and the store should be between 200 and 300 square meters. These requirements are very easy to meet. It is just a matter of the rent.
Give them a week to find a store. I have asked Hutchison Decoration Company to design the decoration style. At that time, the decoration and company registration will be carried out at the same time. The decoration can be completed in half a month. In terms of time, If we control it well, we won’t feel rushed. After everything is settled, our products will be able to arrive at every experience store smoothly. "Weili replied.
Both groups are Su Cheng's personal enterprises. It is indeed beneficial to both companies to join forces. As long as the product quality is guaranteed, otherwise, conflicts will easily arise.
"Have the cities been determined?" Su Cheng nodded and continued to ask.
“It’s confirmed, on the European side, London, Paris, Rome, Madrid; on the American side, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto, Hong Kong is in charge of Su Group, Tokyo is in charge of Hutchison Whampoa, etc. After a batch of stores were successful, we quickly took the time to lay out the next batch of chain experience stores," Wei Li said with a smile.
The experience store is equivalent to a small exhibition, and it is opened every day, allowing customers in need to experience it at any time. This, in this era, can be said to be a revolutionary innovation .
Wei Li is very looking forward to the changes that the emergence of such a model will bring to their group's products.
Afterwards, the two discussed the problems encountered in the development of the group.
Although Su Cheng doesn't have much experience in business management, he has insights that are decades ahead of his time. When he encounters a problem that he doesn't know how to deal with, he can also seek Xiao Ai's advice.
There are many classic cases in Xiao Ai's knowledge repository. Basically, you can find solutions with just one search, which is much more powerful than those search engines of later generations.
After eating and drinking, Su Cheng sent Wei Li back to the Hutchison Whampoa Headquarters Building. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Jiayi TV Building.
It was half a month ago since the last time I went to Jiayi TV Building. There were many beauties at Jiayi TV, so Su Cheng still preferred to go shopping there. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the parking lot of Jiashi Building smoothly.
Su Cheng found that Jiashi seemed to be more lively now than before. The way employees holding documents were coming and going in the aisles showed that the work was relatively busy.
He went directly to Liang Shuyi’s office, only to find that the office door was closed.
The female clerk next door quickly discovered Su Cheng and told him again that Mr. Liang had gone to the post-production department on the fourth floor.
He no longer stayed and waited, but went directly to the post-production department.
The post-production department is one of the most important departments of Jiayi TV.
Post-production editing, dubbing, special effects processing, etc. are all completed by the post-production department.
On the 4th floor, in the post-production department, Su Cheng met Liang Shuyi who was directing the work.
Seeing Su Cheng, everyone stood up and respectfully shouted hello to him, boss.
Su City has long been accustomed to this.
"Boss, it's rare for you to come to the TV station. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liang Shuyi said with a smile.
"With you here, I can rest assured that the TV station is developing very well now! Are you in the later stage of "I Have a Date with a Zombie"?" Su Cheng asked curiously.
On the TV in front of Liang Shuyi, a TV series was playing. Judging from the actor's dress and background, Su Cheng guessed that it was "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
“Boss, you guessed it right, it has been a while since the filming of "A Deadline". Basically every episode we shoot, we post-process the film as quickly as possible. "A Deadline" Compared with martial arts films, one advantage is that it is set in a modern city, which saves us a lot of time in post-production.
Currently, 20 episodes of "Default" have been filmed, and post-production is also done. By the 16th episode, in order to capture more ratings, we plan to start broadcasting "The Deadline" on September 18th, which is next Monday at 7 p.m., and we will broadcast 2 episodes every night from Monday to Friday. 10 episodes will be played in one week, and we will continue to play them while filming until the end." Liang Shuyi replied.
"How is the overall ratings of our TV station?" Su Cheng asked.
"The overall ratings of "Looking for Qin" have remained at a stable level, as have other old programs. However, the ratings of "Boys and Girls Go Forward" have declined. Because of this, we plan to speed up the production of "Stick Date" To replace the broadcast time of "Boys and Girls Rush Forward", as for "Boys and Girls Rush Forward", the broadcast time will be changed to 12 noon and will no longer be broadcast in the evening time period." Liang Shuyi continued to answer.
Su Cheng still understands this. "Boys and Girls Go Forward" is different from TV series. It does not have that sense of expectation. It is purely a recreational program, so it is normal for the ratings to drop.
"Let's go back to the office to chat, and we will disturb everyone's work here." Looking at the employees around him, Su Cheng said with a smile.
“Okay!”
