In this life, I will never be a scumbag again.
Chapter 108: First day’s results, gross profit exceeded 10,000!
On the first day of the opening of the new century, the flow of people was quite large, and there were quite a few college students who came to watch the excitement. However, the number of machines allocated was not as high as expected.
A total of more than ten computers were sold, including the three that Zeng Kaiping, Luo Xi, and Ding Linna had decided to support long ago, and they were all counted in Liu Wanyin's performance.
The class beauty and Nanazi came here to help, but they were prostituted by the gangster for free. They didn't get a single salary and only had two lunch boxes to deal with the two girls.
The two women didn't get commissions themselves, so there was no point asking for performance, so of course they helped Liu Wanyin.
As for Zeng Kaiping, it was indeed Su Zelin's idea. The gangster asked him to ask Liu Wanyin to place an order on the opening day to give her some confidence.
Su Zelin also launched the market and opened several orders, mostly for girls.
After the gangster's verbal attack and the hype, several girls originally planned to go to the computer city to compare and make plans before making any plans. However, they placed orders out of nowhere, as if they were cast a spell, but they didn't
Regret, that handsome store manager is so good at licking, even if they were given a chance to choose again, they might still feel comfortable being licked and would be willing to place an order.
When running a business, service is very important.
Countless companies in later generations even took service as the basis and regarded it as the lifeblood of the company.
Because of the advancement of technology, the competitiveness of many products is actually the same. At this time, differentiation must be reflected in services.
Your service is guaranteed, and once consumers are happy, they will feel that your company is more reliable than others, and they will naturally come back and even become fans when they need it again in the future.
Su Zelin's impressive performance has convinced other employees, especially those who have witnessed the gangster's amazing marketing techniques.
When I was working as a shopping guide, I didn’t have any advantage as a store manager, so I just relied on my smooth tongue to earn these orders.
With this method, who else dares to say that he is not worthy of being a store manager?
This is one of the reasons why Su Zelin personally participated in the store affairs as the store manager, so that he can set an example for others.
The results of more than ten computers on the first day are actually not considered to be embarrassing.
With the traffic flow and large market of Computer City, when some stores are not doing well, they may only have one or two units in a day, and they can still make money.
In this era, the profits of digital products are extremely high. Even if a machine has the lowest configuration, it can have a gross profit of at least five to six hundred, and the more expensive ones can even reach a thousand. For a brand like Dafa that pays IQ tax, the merchant can earn as much as two thousand.
Gross profit is not impossible.
"Gene Era"
Moreover, in addition to more than ten machines, several MP3 players were also sold today.
Digital stores don't just sell computers, including many stores in Computer City, they also sell a bit of business related to the digital field. For example, many computer stores also sell MP3s.
The main ones are domestic Avery, Newman, Taipower and Onda. iPods and Dafa are too expensive, so Su Zelin simply refuses to buy them.
What's left is a lot of peripheral accessories.
The profits of these accessories should not be underestimated.
Mouse pads and CDs costing only a few cents can be sold for several yuan, which is several times or even ten times the gross profit, and the demand is high and the sales volume is high!
Today there is a game maniac who bought twelve game boards at once.
He buys a lot of CDs and knows the prices quite well. New Century has a promotion, buy five and get one free.
Even if you don’t give it as a gift, it’s still 50 cents cheaper than the price in a computer store outside. The game fanatic can’t help it when he sees such a good deal, so he will chop up 12 of them first, so that he can play slowly in the future.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Su Zelin made dozens of dollars from these twelve CDs.
You think you have made a profit, but the store never loses.
So it’s not unreasonable why the computer market was so hot in the early 2000s, and everyone who started working in this industry was making a lot of money.
Before the birth of Moubao and before online shopping became popular, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and these peripheral products were all huge profits, and because these things are new and require relatively large investments, there are not many people entering the market now.
The market is far from saturated, and we can still make money for many years.
In the future, when Taobao suddenly emerges, the profit margins of digital products will be greatly reduced, and the market competition will be fierce. Many computer stores and mobile phone stores will be eliminated. The ones that can survive at this time are usually those stores that are service-oriented. This is also the case for Su Zelin.
The reason why we insist on doing service from the beginning.
The gross profit for that day had already exceeded 10,000, which was enough to run the store with more than a profit.
The store is not located in a popular business district on campus, so the rent is already low, and the vice-dean’s wife asked Dai Chuangxing to get the best price for the lease contract.
At this time, real estate is not booming, and there is no talk of rents increasing year by year. At this price, the rent will be at least four years. As long as Dai Chuangxing is still the vice president, it will definitely not be a problem for Su Zelin to renew at a low price after graduation.
That contract even waived the decoration deadline for the first three months.
In fact, the digital store was renovated in more than a month, which is equivalent to saving one and a half months of rent.
At present, domestic wages are also low. Even in Lin'an, the provincial capital, an ordinary migrant worker only earns four to five hundred yuan per month. Although he has many college students, his expenses still do not need to be too high.
What's more, the employees' wages are mainly linked to orders. As long as they can place more orders, Su Zelin doesn't mind giving them more money.
The more employees earn, the more they earn, which is something to be happy about!
Generally speaking, with such a low cost, as long as you know a little bit about business, you can make money no matter what.
However, Kang Baohong was not satisfied. He felt that he did not earn enough.
After the digital store closed for the day, everyone else left, except Su Zelin and Kang Baohong.
They had to calculate their income and expenses and summarize the first day.
In the manager's office, Kang Baohong made tea for Su Zelin. No one else was present, so he changed his title.
"Boss, this is the income and expenditure of our store today, please take a look at it!"
He handed a pile of receipts and calculated amounts to Su Zelin.
The bastard just took a few casual glances and already knew it.
It’s about the same as expected, even slightly better.
"Boss, there are quite a lot of customers coming to our digital store today. I saw a lot of them and I have some intentions. In the end, I only sold a dozen machines. It always feels unreasonable!"
Kang Baohong was a little distressed. He couldn't figure out what the problem was.
The store has created the illusion of a regular and professional chain store, and everyone is convinced of it. The environment and services are good enough, door-to-door delivery, convenient and complete after-sales service, and affordable prices. The same configuration is no more expensive than that of the Computer City.
, it may even be cheaper, there is no reason for the sales to be so small.
Su Zelin acted unusually calm. He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, Baohong, the fun is coming!"
"It takes more than a day or two to build our store!"
"The vast majority of college students are budget-conscious. It's impossible that just because your store is better decorated and your service is good, interested parties will immediately place orders. What's more, not everyone knows the computer market well.
, our store claims to be affordable, but others may not believe it based on your slogan!"
"I dare say that those who plan to configure a computer will first come to our New Century to listen to the quotation, and then take the same configuration list to the Computer City to compare it from house to house!"
"When they find that the prices in New Century and Computer City are similar, or even cheaper, these people will naturally turn back!"
"After all, for the same machine, we think it is more formal than Computer City, and it has a price advantage, and the after-sales service is convenient. What reason do they have to choose Computer City?"
Kang Baohong thought it did make sense. If he were in his own shoes, he would definitely shop around before making a decision. After all, this is a computer worth at least several thousand dollars, and it is not a cheap gadget.
"Boss, you are right, I am indeed a little impatient."
After Su Zelin mentioned this, Kang Baohong calmed down.
"Remember, we have to insist on two things!"
"First, take the cost-effective route. We will not purchase accessories from brands that make customers pay IQ taxes and take advantage of them! It doesn't matter if we often do promotions and make a small profit. As long as the quantity is high, we can also get the goods from accessories agents.
Negotiating prices and reducing costs is equivalent to increasing profits!"
"Second, service-oriented, we must uphold this concept at all times. As long as the customers come to the store, whether they buy or not, it is God!"
"Once New Century's reputation is established on campus, it will take over most of the business, plus peripheral accessories and so on, and it will not be a problem to make hundreds of thousands a year!"
Hundreds of thousands!
Kang Baohong's eyes lit up.
In 2001, this was a huge sum of money!
Su Zelin added: "Of course, just earning a few hundred thousand is definitely not enough. There is still great potential that can be tapped in the new century!"
Kang Baohong: "..."
"Only earn hundreds of thousands".
Is Boss Su’s dictionary different from others?
Only now did he realize that Su Zelin's ambition might be much greater than he thought. He was already satisfied with hundreds of thousands, but it could not satisfy his appetite at all.
"Baohong, as long as we do a good job in sales and accumulate popularity, we will even be qualified to negotiate after-sales agents with many external accessory brand manufacturers. You must know that we are the only ones in this business in the Financial Institute. Because of your uncle's relationship, other
It is impossible for people in the computer and digital business to enter the market to play. We must make good use of this unique advantage."
"Some of the machines in Caiyuan have problems, and we have to carry the case or monitor all the way to an outside repair point. This is very inconvenient, so we can negotiate with some parts manufacturers and contract Caiyuan for them.
As well as the after-sales service in the nearby area, I think many manufacturers will be interested. After all, there are many after-sales outsourcing manufacturers!"
"Of course, if we really want to provide after-sales service to parts manufacturers, we have to recruit more capable technical personnel, and the salary can be higher!"
Su Zelin's thoughts made Kang Baohong suddenly enlightened.
It turns out that there are so many ways to play in a digital store, but he didn’t expect it.
Boss Su has more vision and ideas. I have to learn more from him!
In fact, Su Zelin planned to do more than that, but he didn't plan to tell Kang Baohong right away.
Take your time first and let him focus on his current business. When the time comes, it will not be too late.
After chatting with Kang Baohong in the store for a while, Su Zelin left as it was getting late.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Cai Wensheng saw him and said: "Third brother, there are so many people in your shop. It's not much better than the old computer shop where the manager spent all day swatting flies. It seems that in the future
Business will be great!"
Everyone in 302 followed Zeng Kaiping to watch the excitement, and they all gave unanimous praise to the digital store.
"Haha, it's not bad."
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
"Of course, it's a chain store with big investment, good environment, and even dozens of experience machines. It's too wealthy and worthy of the title of flagship. How can it compare to that little pheasant store in the past!"
p>
With Hou Yongjin's sharp eyesight, he couldn't see it this time. This shows that Su Zelin's deception was successful. Everyone thought that New Century was a chain store.
"The key is that Aping's machine is cheaper than what Laosan bought in the Computer City. I saved 200 yuan and got a lot of CDs as gifts. It's a great deal!"
Feng Zhongliang laughed and said: "When I go to the computer store, I'll go to New Century too!"
Zeng Kaiping has already used the new machine.
While others were still chatting with the official website or talking to the sales, the young man who had a plan in advance placed the first order at lightning speed, and got a few more small gifts as a result.
Now he is playing QQ and downloading movies.
I feel comfortable using my phone, and I don’t have any qualms about going to May World to watch movies.
In the past, he didn't know there were such things as viruses and Trojans, so he often used Su Zelin's machine to access small networks like that. However, when someone scanned the disk with Kaspersky, he could call the police hundreds of times, which made the energetic guy feel embarrassed.
But it doesn’t matter if your machine is poisoned. It doesn’t matter!
According to the third brother, viruses and Trojans are just programs.
I don’t believe it, they can really kill my computer!
Seeing Su Zelin come back, the spirited young man also raised his head: "Third brother, thank you, I saved money today, I will treat you to dinner and drinks another day!"
Zeng Kaiping was very generous. He would treat people to dinner and drinks when he was happy, and he would also treat people to dinner and drinks when he was unhappy. If anyone goes to Huacheng after graduation, if you don’t go to him and ask him to hire a one-stop service, the Liede rich man will be in trouble with you.
, saying that he did not regard him as a brother.
"Haha, okay, then I'll wait, but I'm afraid it won't work during New Year's Day, it will be too busy!"
Su Zelin smiled.
"It's okay, Third Brother, I'll wait until you finish your work first, don't be in a hurry!"
Speaking of this, Zeng Kaiping thought of something again: "Ah, by the way, please help me find out why my downloading is so slow. Why is it not as fast as yours, and the downloading interface is different."
Su Zelin came over and took a look. This guy was using the tool that comes with the Internet Explorer browser to download pornographic videos. The tool is characterized by being single-threaded, and the longer it downloads, the slower it gets.
The spirited guy is very good at chatting on QQ and can play games, but he knows nothing about computer software technology.
"You have to change the download tool, otherwise you will have to download this movie until dawn!"
"Khan, Third Brother, come and help me fix it."
Zeng Kaiping gave up his seat.
"Aping, you can't just talk about Q, you also have to learn something else."
Su Zelin shook his head and searched for a download tool online.
Download tools flourished in the first decade of the new century.
Now there are Internet Ants and Internet Express.
Later, there were eMule, BitComet, BitGenie, Waga Painting Era, Audio and Video Conveyor Belt, and of course Penguin’s QQ Tornado, as well as the well-known Qvod, which can be said to be the enlightenment software for many people.
At that time, there was no speed limit for downloading software. As long as your bandwidth was large enough, the download speed would take off, and you would enjoy watching movies.
It's a pity that these good software have been eliminated one after another due to business problems. Even Penguin's QQ Tornado announced its closure in September 2017, leaving only Xunlei.
When there were other competitors, Xunlei was quite kind. However, after monopolizing the entire industry, it became disgusting. It only maliciously restricted speeds for non-members. It was also bombarded with various advertisements, and it did not treat users as human beings at all.
But disgusting is disgusting. Users still have to use it. There is no way. There is no good substitute. Those with a little knowledge can still go online to find various magic modifications to use the ad version or the speed-limited version. Newbies who don’t understand are at a loss.<
/p>
Su Zelin quickly created an Internet ant for Zeng Kaiping. There are small dots on the right side of the download interface, which will continue to crawl forward as the download progresses, like little ants, hence the name.
With third-party download tools, the speed is indeed much faster.
To help the spirited guy get it done, Su Zelin also turned on his own machine.
I have been busy all day today, and I haven’t had time to receive QQ messages yet.
Mobile QQ was not born until 2003, which was very inconvenient.
As soon as I logged in, I saw Lu Haoran’s message, but my friend’s QQ profile picture was gray.
I opened it and looked at it, but there was nothing wrong with it. I just wanted to share my experiences of campus life in the past few days. In addition, I just talked about Xiaoyanzi. This is also the most talked about topic between Lao Zhen and Su Zelin on QQ.
"Didi!"
At this time, Qin Shiqing’s QQ profile picture started to beat.
Now my childhood sweetheart Q has learned to be invisible. I wonder if it is because beautiful women are harassed more. Su Zelin can't judge whether she is online. After all, the anti-invisible Madman QQ and cracked Rainbow QQ have not yet been born.
p>
Qingtian: "Zelin, how was working at the store today? [wink]"
Qin Shiqing knew that the gangster worked part-time at the newly opened computer store in Caiyuan, but she didn't know that this store was opened by Su Zelin.
He is very handsome at one year old: "It's okay, there is no air force!"
Sunny: "Air Force?"
He is very handsome at one year old: "There is no such thing as fishing."
Qingtian: "So you sold the computer?"
He is very handsome at one year old: "That is necessary. As a store manager, where can I put my face if I am in the air force!"
Qingtian: "Haha, congratulations then. I heard that your computer store is quite large and has a good environment. There are a lot of people opening today."
Very handsome at one year old: "Uh, how did you know?"
Qingtian: "Isn't there a post on Caiyuan's BBS? I'll check it out occasionally."
Su Zelin didn't have time to post today, but many active users on the campus BBS chatted about this topic.
He is very handsome at the age of one: "Khan, you are from Zhejiang University, why are you coming to our school BBS!"
Qingtian: "Haha, you can just browse around, it's all the BBS of Lin'an College anyway. Well, when I have time, I will also go to your digital store."
He is very handsome at one year old: "Didn't you buy a computer? You have to eat enough to hold on!"
Qingtian: "I'm just curious about how you look when you go to work. I never thought that you would work for others! [Hidden smile]"
He is very handsome at one year old: "Come here for such a trivial matter, Qin Shiqing, you are so boring!"
Qingtian: "Humph, don't worry, someone secretly went to Zhejiang University to watch the art show last time, wasn't it more boring!"
He is very handsome at one year old: "That's different. You are the deputy student union president who kindly invited you. I'm just giving him face!"
……
------Digression------
I have written some commercial content, but you may not like it very much. In fact, I don’t really want to write about the commercial part, but I still have to write some. No matter what, it is mainly about daily life and campus life.
