Chapter 263 Contact
Back at the hotel, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to take a bath and rest. Instead, he called Yang Chaoye and Wei Li who were far away in Xiangjiang.
At this time, it was already half past eight in the evening.
The time difference between San Francisco and New York is 3 hours, and the time difference between San Francisco and Hong Kong is even 15 hours.
So, New York time at this time is 11:30 pm, while Hong Kong time is 12 noon.
After comparing the time issue, Su Cheng first called Yang Chaoye.
After all, it is already late at night over there. If it is any later, it will disturb Yang Chaoye's rest.
As for the time in Xiangjiang, at this time, if nothing unexpected happens, Wei Li should be working in the office of Hutchison Whampoa Building.
The call was connected, it was Yang Chaoye.
"Boss, do you want to know the situation of the experience store today? I came back late tonight and was just getting ready to take a rest." Yang Chaoye was a little surprised when he heard Su Cheng's voice.
"It's fine if you haven't slept yet. I'm afraid I'll wake you up after you go to sleep. I called you mainly because I have other things to talk to you about. But since I've already called you, tell me about today. How is the performance of the experience store?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
Today is the weekend. According to predictions, the flow of people will definitely be better than on the opening day on Friday, but I don’t know what the actual situation will be.
There is also an Oracle brand experience store here in San Francisco, but Su Cheng has not visited it, and he doesn’t know what the traffic is like.
“Sure enough, as we predicted before, the performance was much better than yesterday. Fortunately, we had the experience of crazy traffic on the first day, so we were relatively calm. Throughout the whole day, we were ten The number of customer visits to this store exceeds 70,000.
Maybe it was because there were more people watching the excitement yesterday, but today there are more customers rushing to make reservations, so our record is very good. < br>
As for Oracle computers, 3,482 units have been reserved for the New York store, 5,699 units have been reserved for the Xiangjiang store, 2,999 units have been reserved for the Singapore store, 3,265 units have been reserved for the London store, 3,186 units have been reserved for the Paris store, ..., ten experience stores. The number of Oracle computer reservations reached 34,796, and we collected more than 50 million US dollars for the 50% deposit alone.
In two days, the number of reservations for our Oracle computers has exceeded 61,000 units. The sales volume is much better than we predicted.
Our sales of other products are also very good. Many products are out of stock and need to be transferred from the Xiangjiang headquarters, so our sales will not be that much tomorrow. According to statistics, Su's The group's products were sold for US$33.86 million; Hutchison Whampoa's products were sold for US$46.77 million. Today, our cashier team has been improved, so checkout is more relaxed.
At the end of the day, our turnover has exceeded 130 million US dollars, which is 30 million more than the 100 million US dollars on the first day.
Boss, our Oracle brand experience stores really need to expand urgently. Ten stores are too few. At least in major cities in major countries, we have to popularize them, so we will need hundreds or thousands of stores. If we open a store like we do now, I don’t know how many years and months it will take to reach this point! ”
Speaking of today's performance of the Oracle brand experience store, Yang Chaoye was still very excited. The speed of making money was really too fast.
"The record is good, is our output guaranteed?" Su Cheng asked.
“Yes, both the subsidiaries of Su Group and those of Hutchison Whampoa are increasing their efforts in production. However, we expect that after the popularity of Oracle computers decreases, they will not be available in stores for a while. The number of customers will gradually decrease, so we cannot produce too many goods. In this regard, our group has a dedicated forecasting team to coordinate production matters," Yang Chaoye replied with a smile.
Sure enough, they have thought about these things very carefully and there is no need for Su Cheng to worry about them at all.
"Well, I called today to talk to you about the expansion of Oracle brand experience stores. I have a pretty good idea that can quickly expand Oracle brand chain stores." Su Cheng continued.
"Oh? Boss, please continue." Yang Chaoye's eyes lit up, waiting for Su Cheng's next thoughts. "Mr. Yang should know about the chain franchise store model, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
“Of course I know that this model has appeared a long time ago, but it is not yet popular in the business world. You are saying that our Oracle brand experience store is based on a chain franchise model. Come to expand?" Yang Chaoye asked a little surprised.
Yang Chaoye naturally knows the chain model very well. It is divided into direct chain model and franchise chain model.
The direct operation model is easy to understand. The company operates directly.
The franchise model is to authorize and open brand operations to external parties.
Both modes have their advantages and disadvantages, and are basically easy to understand.
In this era, both the direct chain model and the franchise chain model have appeared.
However, more companies choose the direct chain model, while not many companies choose the franchise chain model.
For example, the famous chain restaurants McDonald's and KFC still implement the direct chain model and have not yet opened to the outside world for franchising.
In other words, although the franchise model has appeared and appeared very early, it has not yet become popular around the world on a large scale. In other words, this model is not yet mature.
Because of this, Yang Chaoye did not consider this direction.
“Of course, although this model has its shortcomings, it can help us improve our overseas sales channels as quickly as possible. If Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group join forces, It will take at least several years to open Oracle brand experience stores all over the world, and the cost is very high. With the franchise chain model, there is no such worry. Not only can it expand quickly, but we don’t need to spend money. Opening a store can even charge a franchise fee. The most important thing is that it helps us take risks. There are disadvantages, but there are also many advantages!" Su Cheng analyzed it in detail to Yang Chaoye on the phone.
"According to what you said, boss, we can really try this franchise chain model, but our profits will be reduced." Yang Chaoye thought for a while and said.
“Low profits are not a problem. Quickly seizing the market is the most important thing for us now. Otherwise, half a year has passed and our technology will have to be opened up. By then our competitors will once again Appearing now is our best opportunity!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, what you said makes sense!" Yang Chaoye is a very capable person after all, and he figured out a lot at once.
"Well, I will call Mr. Weili to discuss this matter again, and then you can discuss the matter with him when you have time." Su Cheng continued.
After hanging up the phone from Yang Chaoye, Su Cheng called Wei Li again in Xiangjiang.
As expected, Wei Li is a workaholic, and he happened to be doing work in the office at this time.
After answering the phone, Su Cheng once again told Wei Li what he had said to Yang Chaoye.
The next thing was to be handed over to Yang Chaoye and Wei Li for them to discuss and come up with a more detailed plan.
Su Cheng, then just be his hands-off shopkeeper.
