Chapter 88 Work or Be the Boss(1/2)
Guan Fei was on the stage and knew everyone's expressions. When he saw these people's serious expressions, he knew that their elite arrogance had been suppressed by the previous company. With this premise, the subsequent work would be much easier.
"Although you are applying for Sagitar Trade Development, you also know that we have established three new companies this time. Here I can tell you that the reason why several companies were established is to achieve the professionalization of business projects.
From the name, you can clearly see that Hasbro is a toy company. The new era is a home electronics research and development company. In addition, Taiyu Technology, a professional entertainment equipment research and development and manufacturing company, our products cover all civil electronics industries such as entertainment, toys, household electronics, etc. This is our future ambition!”
The elites here were shocked by his high-spirited declaration.
They had just used several newly established companies in Taiyu before, and vaguely thought that the company might have a big development, but the founder clearly stated that he would aim to be the leader in the electronics industry, which was still a huge shock and motivation for them.
Who doesn’t want to be the leader and is it interesting to follow others to pick up leftovers?
Everyone here doesn’t want to think about it, but they can only be a little brother because they have no strength.
But since the founders of Taiyu Technology have the courage and confidence to do it, what's so scary about them!
A feeling called ambition quietly sprouts in their hearts.
"Since it is for more professionalism, we have gathered all the sales departments of the above companies to establish this Sagitar trade expansion to achieve the best allocation of resources. From now on, other companies such as Taiyu have focused on research and development, production, and strived to make the best products. Sagitar is working hard to develop the market, bringing various excellent products to the market, and gaining a place internationally! This is your mission!"
Jiang Zeshui and others were all excited.
This is a brand new model they call contact with, similar to a group company, but is looser than a group company.
This naturally has its disadvantages, that is, management is difficult, and companies may do their own things. But the benefits are also obvious. There is no mother-in-law in Sagitar trading, and she can maximize market development according to her own interests and needs.
These are the princes who stand alone!
This recruitment is really the right one!
Guan Fei looked at the excitement of everyone present, and smiled: "All the seniors here are all seniors, and I think they know more than me. As far as I know, the usual sales promotion is nothing more than advertising, exhibitions, sponsorships, activities, etc.; sales methods generally adopt multi-level agents, self-operated monopoly, etc.
The development direction I set for Sagitar Trading is channel construction!”
He pressed the remote control switch, and the projector immediately turned on the projector and projected the next image onto the screen.
This is a world map.
Guan Fei pointed to several cities with a laser pointer: "The layout model of Sagitar will adopt the total division pattern, that is, the main company-branch model. Now we have limited financial resources and cannot make global layouts, but there are several locations at present, and we are determined to win!
New York on the east coast of the United States, San Francisco on the west coast; London in the United Kingdom, Paris in France, Berlin in Germany; Tokyo in Japan, Seoul in South Korea. Finally, Hong Kong where the headquarters is located…”
The elites are excited. Except for Seoul, all other cities are the essence of the world economic circle and are already in the ball layout.
A company that looks around the world is where they use their intelligence.
"This investment is very big. Even if you set up a small store in these cities, the investment is quite huge!" Some people who were calm asked questioning.
"right!"
Guan Fei nodded in agreement: "So the company has an idea to turn each branch into a semi-independent sales entity. That is, the head office invests 40% and holds 60% of the equity of the branch. The branch management team holds the remaining 40% of the shares, but is responsible for raising insufficient funds to build sales channels and expand the market!
If the branch management uses its own capital, the shares belong to the investor. If the funds are raised through loans, mortgages, etc., then forty percent of the shares can only be used as dividend shares of the management team and cannot be owned by individuals.
At the store counter, the head office only accounts for 30%. For other counters, branches can find business partners and sell them on their own - even if they are competitor products of the company, they can also sell them on the market!”
boom!
The conference room suddenly exploded.
This is unheard of.
Judging from Guan Fei's explanation of the power of the branch, this is to move each branch toward professional stores and establish a global sales system, just like Walmart in the United States and Carrefour in France.
Moreover, the head office has too low requirements for the branch, only requiring 30% of the store to be exclusive, and all counters in other areas are handed over to the branch for self-operation...
Is there such a good thing?
Jiang Zeshui also felt a little dry and unconsciously loosened his tie.
Everyone here has been in the industry for many years and has a certain status. They are high-income people and have basically saved a lot. It may be difficult to open a store at the above location, but it is not very difficult.
If it were placed in Hong Kong, there would be more people with this strength.
But why can’t Hong Kong’s sole proprietorship or controlling supermarkets be seen in global channel operations?
Because as a colony, people are used to handing over goods directly to British companies, this approach is the easiest and most reliable. If a store invests at least tens of millions, the monthly rent is tens of millions. If there is no stable sales revenue, it is not surprising to lose the bottoms.
But if there are good marketable products, the operating risks of the store will be much smaller.
Taiyu Technology's arcades are now popular all over the world, with genuine products and pirated goods rampant in various entertainment venues, and supply exceeding demand.
With this great Buddha standing behind you, opening a store becomes a very attractive choice.
Becoming the general manager of the branch is equivalent to assigning the princes and monopolizing the power. This is more tempting for elites who have already gained a certain status but still desire higher. With the thick thighs of Taiyu Technology, it is not impossible for them to become overlords in the future!
There must be risks!
The head office only invests 30% and the remaining 70% requires them to raise their own funds. If you want to stop being a worker and become a future business tycoon, it is inevitable to invest and buy. This is equivalent to the head office selling 40% of its shares to the management at a premium. This has the consideration of risk dispersal, and it is also a means to tie the branch management team to the chariot.
If you change your mindset, today is not a job fair, but a distribution channel merchant Tongmenghui. Guan Fei released some shares of the trading company to invite them to join.
The choice placed in front of Jiang Zeshui and others is whether to add or not.
On the one hand, it is the temptation to grow and become a boss, and on the other hand, it is the pressure brought by huge capital investment. Even these sales elites who have been tested have to calmly think about the trade-offs and weigh them.
"Does the company have other projects besides arcades?" Above Jiangzeshui, several people whispered to each other, and an old man in his fifties asked Guan Fei.
The others also stopped talking and looked at Guan Fei.
This question is critical.
Arcade is indeed a good project, and it is not a problem to continue to do it for a long time. But when putting arcades in the store, I always feel that something is wrong and is a bit out of place with the overall layout. There are also arcade opportunities that will not continue to release new games, and every game is so easy to sell is a problem. So they need more options, such as "Space Invaders" that does not have to worry about sales, so they dare to put their efforts in peace and boldly.
"We are going to release three new games for arcade this year. In my personal opinion, they are all fun and whether they can be recognized by the market will take time to consider.
Two new toys will be released soon, one is electronic building blocks and the other is Transformers... For the time being, everyone only needs to know this. If you want to know the details, you must wait until you sign the contract before you can disclose it.
In the new era, we can tell you that our goal is audio. Thanks to the use of components with better electrical indicators and better circuit design, the audio effect is far greater than similar products in the market. Moreover, the first audio equipment is unprecedented and an epoch-making product that will surely gain extremely high pursuit around the world!”
Guan Fei vaguely introduced the company's next product to the people in front of him.
Everyone here looked at each other, but it was still difficult to make a decision.
Guan Fei said it very well, but who knows whether the new product can be as good as he said. Everyone can brag about it. When they go out to sell products, they also blow the things they sell into a flower, but everyone knows the actual effect.
After not seeing the real thing, or even seeing the real thing, they may not be able to make up their minds immediately.
"If we don't invest, what are the company's considerations?" Someone simply spread out and said: We have objections to this proposal and do not believe that the future development will be so good.
Guan Fei smiled and shrugged easily: "Then reduce channel construction projects, what else can I do? For example, the channel construction in Seoul and Berlin will be temporarily suspended. Then the company invests wholly, but at that time, you will only serve the company as hiringers, and there will be no additional benefits."
Jiang Zeshui nodded secretly.
Yes, Sagitar Trading Company was launched for the first time and had limited funds. At the same time, it was because it did not trust them and the new entrants enough that in order to allow the branch management to tie the interests with the head office, part of the branch equity would be released.
After passing this hurdle, Sagitar Trading has gained a foothold and may release a little shares to the meritorious ministers who started the business and helped conquer the world, but that share will definitely be very meager, one percent or a few minutes, which means it is absolutely impossible to reach 40 percent.
Risk and opportunity coexist, it depends on how they choose.
"Is there any statement about the management of the branch?" He thought about it and asked a question.
"Set up a board of directors! The general manager of the branch with equity serves as the chairman, and the head office sends a director and does not participate in the company's operations, such as venture capital companies." Guan Fei immediately gave a positive answer.
Venture Capital Company!
Everyone immediately thought of this concept. Indeed, a business model like this is very similar to a venture capital company conducting venture capital.
After understanding this principle, many people will be calm.
"Can this be written into the contract?" Jiang Zeshui had made up his mind and immediately asked.
"What I guarantee today will be listed clearly in the contract. You can find your own lawyers to carefully determine whether there are any problems. After confirming, we will officially sign the contract." Guan Fei replied calmly.
After the initial excitement, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became rational.
They also realized that today they came to actually get the entrepreneurial opportunities given to them by Taiyu Technology. This significance is far greater than finding a new owner, which is directly related to their future for the rest of their lives, and everyone is more serious.
Questions come one after another. No one here is new to the workplace. They have very clear ideas and have a deeper understanding of the sinister market. Everyone has many problems.
Guan Fei gave all positive responses without dodging at all.
This attitude also made the people present feel very satisfied, and they also had a deeper understanding of the company's sincerity, and the atmosphere in the conference room became warmer again.
All morning, everyone asked questions to Guan Fei, and their words became more and more direct, and some were very sharp, but they all received relatively satisfactory answers.
At noon, no one suggested going to the restaurant, so he had a meal in the canteen of Taiyu Technology.
"Mr. Yu!"
Jiang Zeshui held the plate and found a new friend he knew in the morning. He sat next to him, digged the rice with chopsticks, and whispered: "What do you think in the morning? Are you sure you are planning to invest in a branch?"
"This, I have to consider it... After all, the investment is too great. I have worked for decades and finally saved some money. If I lose money, I have to sleep on the road. But this opportunity is also rare, and I am worried." Yu Zheng asked him to say everything he said, but it was equivalent to saying nothing.
They are all old foxes, so how could they express their opinions so quickly?
"I'm going to invest!" Jiang Zeshui didn't want to go around him. The person in front of him was very important to him, so he might as well say it thoroughly. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Mr. Yu with a firm look, "I don't want to work for others anymore. I'm tired! If you do well, that's what you should do. If you give you a little bonus, you'll get it. If you don't have a good salesman, it's a serious sin. The whole company pointed at the nose and scolded. I've lived enough of this kind of life. Now I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it!"
"Oh? I'm so bold, I can't do it anymore, hahaha..." Mr. Yu was stunned for a moment and continued to practice Tai Chi.
Jiang Zeshui ignored him and said to himself: "I want to take over the position of general manager of the San Francisco branch. I heard that Mr. Yu's way is there. In terms of shares, if someone joins me, I will only account for 25% of the remaining fifteen, and the remaining fifteen can be given to business partners. In terms of investment, everyone will share the investment in proportion. I don't know if Mr. Yu has this interest?"
Share?
Mr. Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked a little interested in this proposal.
To be continued...
