576 Good luck for opening (middle)
576 Good business opening (Part 2)
I have been very busy recently. I am working on several bidding projects at the same time. I am very nervous and have no energy to take care of writing. What’s more terrible is that this situation will continue for a while. Therefore, there is no way to maintain stable updates. I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all.
Readers say sorry.

"You idiot, no matter how good the prospects are in emerging markets, they still need to be promoted to be effective. Potential customers don't even know that such a thing exists, how can it be sold?"
——When Chen Tao’s telegram was sent to Hainan Island and specially delivered to Julie, the latter only took a few glances to find out the problem. In fact, the problem was not complicated, even Qian Qian
People like Yi, who knew nothing about business operations, had already reminded Chen Tao that the products sold in his shop were not available to ordinary people.
There are many reasons for bad eyesight, but most of them are caused by frequent reading. In these days, people who can read so often that their eyesight is damaged are often not ordinary people. Such people usually do not go out to buy things in person.
Servants would do the work for them - in the Ming Dynasty, except for the New Year temple fairs, people generally did not have the habit of shopping.
So unless Chen Tao can try to let those wealthy families know the purpose of glasses and combine it with their own needs, they will consider sending a servant to come and take a look. If it is good, they will probably ask merchants to come to the door for service, rather than like modern times.
I walked in casually while walking around - merchants in the Ming Dynasty were regarded as a lowly business, which is reflected in these small places.
"After staying in Beijing for such a long time, I haven't figured out the rules of local business activities yet, and I still rush in... A nerd is a nerd!"
Julie has a fierce temper and always speaks very directly. Even in front of Chen Tao, she must be so straightforward without saving any face. But after all, Julie still made a very detailed business report for Chen Tao.
Planning the case, helping him analyze the success or failure of this case, reminding him of various points that need to be paid attention to when doing business in Beijing, and also formulated several promotion plans for him... Even though Julie is in Hainan, there is no
I have been to Beijing in this era, but the plan she made was quite practical and effective. So when the plan was sent to Beijing, Chen Dalei was very excited when he saw it, and he praised it repeatedly.
——Yes, after discovering that he had no business talent and that the market in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty was not as easy to open as imagined, Chen Tao had no choice but to delegate power and entrust the specific management responsibilities to Chen Dalei. In fact, this was what Julie did for him.
Part of formulating a business strategy: An investor does not need to understand business, but he must know who should be run. Since you have professionals around you, but you still have to do everything yourself, that is just asking for trouble.
.
Chen Tao is not a genius, but his greatest advantage is that he is obedient and able to listen to other people's opinions. Now that Julie said this, he gave up his original idea of becoming a great Ming Hu Xueyan and continued to be an investor honestly.
The person and the role of the CEO behind the scenes.
An entrustment contract was signed with Chen Dalei, officially entrusting him to serve as the general manager of Qionghai Trading Company's Beijing region, and to be fully responsible for the trading company's business here - even the contract itself was written by Julie.
Okay, send it together via telegram, and the format terms are all drawn up in detail. The people in Beijing only need to sign on it.
The final plan and various contracts that were sent were so thick that it took the telegraph office two full days to send them out. Even Chen Tao himself spent several days translating the codes. After the translation, everyone was paralyzed.
.
The telegram was only part of it. Along with the telegram, there was also a speedboat sent from Hainan Island directly to Tianjin. It was filled with workers and supplies, drawings, etc., all of which were directed to Chen Tao so that he could make a comeback.
——Julie's style is like this: either don't care, or if you want to take care of it, take full responsibility from head to toe, taking into account even the smallest details.
This wasn't the end of it. A few days later, the banquet officer sent another angry telegram to accuse me - because of your trivial matter in Beijing, you actually made my wife stay up for a week with a heavy belly. She has obviously been in low spirits in recent days.
.If our son gets into any trouble in the future, be careful that I will kill him and go to the capital to settle accounts with you, even if I hide him in the palace!
…………
After such mobilizing efforts for a long time, Chen Tao's personal business plan has transformed into part of the overall layout of the entire trading company in the mainland. Chen Dalei's commission contract was not signed with Chen Tao personally, but with the entire Qionghai Trading Company.
According to the contract, Chen Tao was given the title of "President of Qionghai Trading Company, Greater China North Region" here, and even Chen Yue'er was given the title of assistant and received a monthly salary.
Chen Yue'er was very happy about this. After all, short-haired men are notoriously generous in their salary. With this income, she no longer has to worry about being stuck in the money bag when quarreling with her father. But for Chen Dalei, regardless of the general manager,
, or president, these new terms have little meaning to him. The business terms proposed by Julie are very strict. In the view of Chen Dalei, who is already the head of a large family, this entrustment contract strictly limits personal authority and distinguishes between public and private.
It's a bit like a contract of betrayal. If the relationship between him and Chen Tao was still about cooperation and mutual support before, as soon as this contract was signed, he became working for Chen Tao - or rather, working for Julie, because Chen Tao
It was just entrusted by the trading company that Julie was in charge of.
However, Chen Dalei finally signed the agreement because this business agreement was also an opportunity for him, and it was an opportunity he had been waiting for a long time. Julie gave the position of "general manager" considerable power in the agreement.
Big, here in Beijing he only needs to be responsible to Chen Tao. In terms of ability and interest, Chen Tao will definitely not be involved in specific operations in the future. When the time comes, there will be a wide variety and quantity of those shipped from the Tianjin pier.
A huge variety of novel products are all handled by him.
Speaking of which, Chen Dalei, as the head of the Chen family in Luzon, left his family's own business and came to work for another family. It seemed that he had no regard for the overall situation? But the situation of their Chen family is a bit special-with an old enemy
Like the Lin family, the previous generation of the Chen family in Luzon is still alive. However, compared to the old man of the Lin family who completely retreated to the second line and left all the business to his son, Chen Dalei's father is younger and more energetic.
Although the position of patriarch is nominally handed over to the eldest son, all kinds of affairs in the family, no matter how big or small, are still firmly controlled by his hands. What's even more terrible is that the previous generation of their old Chen family, Ding Xingwang,
In addition to his father, Chen Dalei has a lot of old guys from his uncle generation, all of whom are quite active... With so many elders pressing down on him, Chen Dalei has nothing to do with his strength.
That's why he followed Chen Tao all the way to Beijing for development as the head of a dignified family. He just wanted to take a curved route to save the country and use external forces to prove his ability - the family's strength could not be counted on. Chen Tao had done what he had done before
Many of those things were just the nonsense of children in his eyes, but he still patiently accompanied them to do them, just to get this opportunity today.
So even if the conditions in this agreement are more stringent, he will definitely sign it. After signing the agreement and accepting employment from the trading company, he can officially join the Qionghai Trading Company, a large and wealthy business kingdom.
And it has a very high decision-making power from the beginning. This stage is much broader than the original Xiao Chen family.
Of course, having said that, what can make Chen Dalei's heart beat is by no means limited to a mere glasses business - if it is just selling glasses, Chen Dalei knows nothing about it, and he will not sign it no matter how good the conditions are. But this time Julie
The business plans she formulated, as well as the authority she gave Chen Tao's northern branch, have expanded the business scope to all the main products of the trading company.
Taking into account transportation costs and the company's positioning in the capital, the trading company sold the "three whites" with the largest sales volume in the southern region - white rice, white salt, white sugar, and later added bulk goods such as cotton cloth and ironware. The northern branch temporarily
Let’s not do it yet. Instead, we will mainly make some low-volume and high-priced things, such as glass, chandeliers, mirrors, etc. - According to Chen Tao’s description, people are very interested in these glass appliances that he used a lot in store decoration, so they sell them.
Well. For smart businessmen, "buying a casket and returning a pearl" is definitely not a joke. Since boxes are easier to sell than beads, they can just sell boxes specifically. Have you not seen that in modern society, there are so many mooncakes and mung bean cakes packed in nanmu boxes every year...
The merchants who made it are not fools.
After watching the excitement for a month, the people near Xuanwumen in the south of the city gradually lost interest in the southern guy's new shop and paid less attention to it. The shop's facade was very impressive, and the things sold inside looked very good.
The appearance seems to be too far away from the daily life of ordinary people like them, and there is no intersection at all.
"...Only wealthy families can use it, but this street is not a place where wealthy families gather."
"...If it were placed in lively places such as Qianmen Street and the Bell and Drum Tower, there might be business. How could it be popular in such a small alley?"
"...After all, these Southern guys are foreigners. They are not familiar with the place and they don't have enough vision."
The owners of several nearby silver shops are quite concerned about this newly opened shop. Most of the silver shops in this era have old relationships accumulated over many years, and they mainly provide door-to-door service, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to the location of the store. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little remote.
. On the contrary, we often get together so that we can support each other in terms of security and protection. We can also get news in time about any fashionable styles and novel styles, so as not to fall behind the trend. {Piaotian Literature thanks all the book friends.
