Chapter 218: Terrifying Money-Making Ability
In the other conference room, Bai Xi was meeting with the sales department to formulate the next stage of Bai Ze Tongming's sales strategy.
Everyone knows that "Qingluan" is not the boss's favorite, "Gou Mang" is, but this thing does make money, and the money is terrifying.
Therefore, the theme of the meeting still revolves around "Qingluan".
The sales department estimates that the monthly sales volume of the "Qingluan" series could reach 60 to 65 units. Of course, full-scale deployment will quickly cool down the market, which is not a good choice.
The final agreement was to control the monthly shipment volume within 40 units, which would be more reasonable in terms of both production pressure and maintaining market heat.
40 aircraft.
This means that based on the estimated selling prices of "Qingluan-01" and "Qingluan-02", monthly sales can reach 24 billion.
This does not include the orders from Gou Mang and the military. If these two are added together, doubling the amount will not be a big problem.
This is a very exaggerated number. Although it is a drop in the bucket compared to Bai Xi's wealth, it still feels a bit inflated.
It's not that I feel arrogance inside, but I feel that the company is expanding too fast.
The current era is one of rapid growth in demand for consumer electronics and crazy money-making. Large categories include smartphones and computers, while small categories include acoustics and reading products.
Each one makes a huge profit.
As long as you make products that are recognized by the market, you won’t have to worry about cash flow, which is a bit like the early home appliances or automobiles.
This is not just a situation unique to the domestic market; the demand for electronic consumer products in the global market is growing rapidly.
In the past, many reputable companies were gradually built up during this period.
The most special thing about "Bai Ze Tong Ming" is that it has opened up a unique category and currently has a serious monopoly on the track. Even if bionic aircraft do not have as wide an audience as mobile phones, what can it do if it has no competitors?
It's not surprising that it has such a terrifying ability to make money.
"Mr. Bai, combining offline flagship stores with online sales is a very good idea. Although our offline stores have a sales ceiling and there are additional operating costs, the communication and branding effects they bring are far greater than those of conventional advertising. I suggest that this model be replicated in major cities across China."
Bai Xi glanced at the emotional sales manager and said, "Opening stores nationwide will require significant challenges in terms of personnel management training and technical support. We can start by adding two or three more locations in the Magic City."
If you take too big a step, you may easily do the splits.
Ultimately, it’s because of insufficient manpower. “Bai Ze Tong Ming” has only 60 people so far, and more than half of them are technical personnel.
Bai Xi has actually been controlling the pace of staff expansion. Otherwise, with the current business scale of the company, it would be no problem to accommodate 200 people.
After discussion, it was finally decided that Shanghai would add three new directly-operated stores, all located in the best business districts and shopping malls, with larger areas and more conspicuous brands. This seemed to increase operating costs, but it brought greater traffic benefits.
In addition, we should start selling from the platform and guide it to direct sales on the official website to reduce channel costs.
Finally, when it came to the issue of "Gou Mang", the sales department was powerless to do anything because there was no stock.
There's already a backlog of dozens of orders, but only a pitiful two have been delivered...
BYD's new factory will not start production until January next year at the earliest.
Especially since the only two machines delivered before were given to Jiangxi Province, now agricultural departments across Zhejiang Province are asking about them almost every day.
Bai Xi rubbed his brows and said, "The company can deliver the remaining two units first. At least it shows our support."
As for the rest of the order...
Stop rushing...
She then took Bai Ze to work overtime!
This is really not suitable for my position as a boss!
After the meeting, Bai Xi and Wang De talked about Gou Mang, then returned to their work near their offices and continued to make a customized version of "Qiuqiu" for Xiao Rui.
......
Early the next morning, Bai Xi began to work efficiently.
During the day, I work daily in the office and handle various matters with the assistance of Xu Zhiwen.
When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Bai Xi went to the basement and started urging Wang Tao and the others to rub "Gou Mang" together today.
When Bai Xi arrived, Wang Tao and his team had already arrived. Six or seven people gathered in the "vehicle area" and were making preparations.
Bai Xi changed into protective clothing and joined them, carrying Bai Ze.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's try to finish two today."
The people here are basically Dajiang's old team, the core group of engineers of "Bai Ze Tong Ming", and also the rare people in "Bai Ze Tong Ming" who are qualified to come to the underground floor.
We worked on tanks together, rescued people together, spread fertilizer together, and appeared in the news together.
I have experienced many big scenes.
It is hard to say whether they were brought up by Bai Ze, or whether they spontaneously took Bai Ze as an example, or whether they were simply running in both directions. In short, after so many events, their hand-rubbing ability became stronger and stronger, and their painting style gradually deviated.
When they were upstairs, they were all "Chief Technology Officers" and "Technical Directors". When they came downstairs, they put on safety helmets and changed into work clothes, and they were all welders, fitters, and laborers.
Some people used to be weak or fat tech geeks, and after following Bai Xi for half a year...
The physique is all better!
Wang Tao said while welding expertly, "It's because we are short of people. Otherwise, if we grit our teeth, we can probably complete the dozens of orders Gou Mang has accumulated."
Bai Xi stared at the computer screen without looking up: "Unless everyone stops working during the day, and the number of people doubles, and they completely switch to 'workers'..."
Everyone is familiar with Gou Mang's framework. It does not require much technical content and does not require much guidance from her.
"Even if we hire someone else, it's hard for them to get started with what we do. Whose technical director does welding every day..."
Wang De thought that was the case. But in "Bai Ze Tong Ming", there seemed to be a special corporate culture.
That is, those who can participate in playing hand-rubbing with President Bai are the core personnel and the trusted generals.
At this time, someone said, "Yesterday, HR interviewed a guy. After chatting for a while, I felt that he had strong hands-on skills. He used to design robotic arms. I wonder if he will be accepted by HR in the end."
Bai Xi clapped his hands, stretched, and said, "Let's do this first. Not everyone is qualified to enter the underground floor. That is to say, it is not officially opened yet. Otherwise, in principle, using this place as 'Gou Mang' would be against the rules..."
Speaking of this issue, everyone couldn't help but feel proud. Following President Bai, they had witnessed many big scenes. In addition to their official positions as "Bai Ze Tong Ming", they also secretly held positions in the "Military Bionic Aircraft Research Institute".
There is a career establishment!
How could I not love such a company and such a boss? He's both capable and generous, and even gave me a regular job while I was working there...
This is also the reason why as soon as Bai Xi called, no matter whether they had to work overtime or what time it was, everyone ran down to do the physical work. They didn't think too much in their minds, they just wanted the company to get better and better for a long time.
A group of people worked until 11 o'clock in the evening, assembling a half-gomand frame and fixing it to the back of the truck with a gantry crane.
"Let's leave it at that for today. We'll adjust it tomorrow. I guess it'll be like this for the whole week. Let's go get a midnight snack together. It's my treat."
Everyone had been working hard for so long and was already tired and hungry. Bai Xi went back to the office, changed into simple clothes, put on a hat and a mask, and then called everyone together to go to University Road.
