Chapter 730 Shaking hands with Hualian?
There was no problem with the production process, and Lin Zheng felt a little more at ease, but Lin Zheng and Lianchuang Technology both understood that the next step was the top priority for solving the problem: What if you deal with all the agents?
Lianchuang Technology's mobile phone sales mechanism is different from the six-level dealer model of European and American mobile phone manufacturers, "manufacturer-national general agent-region-provincial agent-city agent-city agent-distributor" and the sales link is simplified into four links: "manufacturer-provincial general agent-city agent/distributor". At the municipal-level distribution units, the agent itself assumes the functions of dealers and wholesalers. The greatest significance is that it can reduce marketing costs to a greater extent than European and American manufacturers.[][]..[]
But now, what Lianchuang Technology has to do must be cooperated by all provincial agents. This result inevitably makes Tan Na a little worried. Even Lang Xuan, who has been in the United States, has rushed back. Everyone understands that if the war with Motorola won this time, Lianchuang Technology will completely establish its position in the domestic mobile communications field. It can be considered that it is stepping on Motorola's body to rise to power. But if it fails, Lianchuang Technology is very likely to never have the chance to turn around again, even with the support of the country.
"So shouldn't we comfort the agents more at this time?"
Lang Xuan, who had just rushed back from the United States, listened to Lin Zheng's idea, his face was full of worries and said worriedly: "Now is the time when people's hearts are fluctuating. Our provincial agents are probably shaking. Both ends of the head rat are thinking about how to benefit from both sides. We should focus on comforting, right?"
Lang Xuan does have enough reason to worry. Lin Zheng's plan clearly means to force provincial agents to tie them to Lianchuang Technology's chariot. If it is on weekdays, it would be fine. If they don't have many choices, their best way is to bow their heads. But now, Motorola is desperately digging for Lianchuang Technology's walls, and the conditions given are even better than Lianchuang Technology. If Lianchuang Technology forces these agents at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to forcing them to rebel?
Lang Xuan was even wondering if the pressure was too great during this period. Lin Zheng couldn't bear it anymore?
"I know all of what you said. Of course there are difficulties, but the situation is not as serious as you think. I am planning to take this opportunity to see how many people are in the same mind as us, and in my plan, I want to take this opportunity to reform our distribution system."
"Ah?" Tan Na, who has been participating in Lin Zheng's plan, has not changed much. But Lang Xuan, who has been in the United States for more than a year, was stunned in an instant: Taking advantage of this opportunity to reform the distribution system? This...this...this is simply dancing on the steel wire. If you are not careful, you will be doomed!
When Lianchuang Technology started to promote mobile phone products to the market, because its popularity and brand reputation were not comparable to similar European and American products, it was necessary to use these dealers and agents when developing the market. In this case, Lianchuang Technology could only turn a blind eye to the small actions of some dealers and agents. Tan Na knew about these things. She also firmly believed that if Lianchuang Technology wanted to continue to grow bigger and stronger, reforming and purifying the distribution system was necessary, but it should not be at this time of internal and external troubles.
Taking a deep breath, Lang Xuan stared at Lin Zheng and said solemnly: "You want to reform the dealer system. I have no objection to this at all, but it cannot be at this time..."
"Lang Xuan, I know you are considering the company and also for me... our good, but you think, except for this special moment when everyone needs to work together, we can attack those guys who are indifferent without causing a huge rebound in the entire distribution system. Will other dealers feel sad when taking action at other times?" Taking a deep breath, staring into Lang Xuan's eyes, Lin Zheng said slowly. As for whether his words would make Lang Xuan misunderstand something at this time, Lin Zheng didn't care about that much.
Lang Xuan was stunned for a moment. She had to admit that what Lin Zheng said was actually very reasonable. At this time when everyone needed to work together to overcome the difficulties, Lin Zheng and the excuse of "working together" to eliminate some people in the team who were indifferent can definitely win the understanding of most people. Even if they don't understand, they will not rebound too much. On the contrary, if they do this at other times, it may not only cause a rebound.
From this perspective, it is the most appropriate to take action on the dealer system at this time.
"Are you sure?"
"At 50%." Lin Zheng said.
"It's really 50%?" Lang Xuan's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid: "You... have any other solutions?"
"There is still a little solution, but it's hard to say whether it can be effective."
When he heard Lin Zheng's words, Lang Xuan felt that she had become soft and she felt like she was sleeping in a hot spring, lazy and didn't want to move: This guy made me run back from the United States from afar, worrying so much, and the smile of this guy was so hateful. He deliberately wanted to see his own jokes... But this feeling is really good.
Lang Xuan, who was so lazy that she didn't want to move, asked casually: "What's the solution?"
"Go to meet someone with me."
"See someone? Who?" Lang Xuan was really curious about the person who could ask Lin Zheng to take him to meet.
"Huazhou."
"Huazhou?" Lang Xuan was stunned and said in surprise: "He?"
—————————————————————
As the chairman of the largest supermarket chain in China, although Huazhou was surprised that Lin Zheng came to do something at this time, the other party's identity made Huazhou dare not neglect at all. After receiving a call from Lin Zheng, Huazhou immediately stated that he could sit together tomorrow night. For this meeting with Lin Zheng, he even turned down a dinner.
When Huazhou, 53, met Lin Zheng and Tan Na, two young men in their 20s, had a very natural attitude and had no intention of relying on their seniority at all. He said enthusiastically: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lang, you are both good. I have told my friends that I want to meet two young handsome men, but I have never had the chance... I am ashamed..."
Lin Zheng shook Huazhou's hand hard and said politely: "Come on Chairman Hua, please be polite. Hualian Supermarket is the number one leader in the domestic industry and our seniors. Why are we, the younger generations, come to take the initiative to visit Chairman Hua? It's still a shameful statement."
Lin Zheng's attitude made Huazhou very happy. He waved his hand and laughed: "President Lin is polite. Come on, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lang, please come in and ask me. Today I must let me do my best to the landlords... After I go back, I will brag with my friends, haha..."
Knowing that Huazhou must be curious about what he came to the door for. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Lin Zheng explained his purpose: "Chairman Hua, this time he took the liberty to invite Chairman Hua out, because Lianchuang Technology has an idea, hoping to get the support of Chairman Hua."
"Oh?" Huazhou pushed the frame glasses on the bridge of his nose. As the chairman of the No. 1 chain supermarket chain in China, Huazhou looked extremely energetic at this moment, but he was still a little curious about Lin Zheng's words: "Mr. Lin, please be honest, your company's business scope seems to have... not much intersection with our Hualian Supermarket?"
With Lin Zheng and Lianchuang Technology's status in the industry, even if there was no intersection between the two companies in the past, after receiving the call from Lin Zheng, Huazhou still did not dare to neglect it. After hanging up the call, he immediately convened a meeting to discuss this matter. Although Lin Zheng only said that he wanted to do it with him, Huazhou would not really think so. He just let everyone think about it and couldn't figure out what Lin Zheng suddenly appeared.
Although I can't figure it out, there is one thing that everyone is extremely sure of: it will never hurt when they meet, so let's hear what Lin Zheng said first.
Lin Zheng nodded with a smile: "There was not much intersection before, but it may not be the case in the future."
"I hope to hear it carefully." Hua Zhou sat upright and his expression became serious.
Lin Zheng did not answer immediately, but asked Huazhou: "I wonder if Chairman Hua has any understanding of the mobile phone market?"
Although Lin Zheng’s problem was somewhat beyond Huazhou’s expectations, Huazhou did not find it very strange, saying: “I don’t know much about mobile phones, I only know one thing. Nowadays, mobile phones are getting smaller and more delicate, but the price is getting cheaper. More and more people can afford and use mobile phones. Even many drivers who travel long distances will buy one…”
Speaking of this, Huazhou suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Zheng with surprise: "Mr. Lin means to cooperate with Hua on mobile phones?"
"That's right," Lin Zheng nodded: "We hope to open a direct counter for Lisheng mobile phones at the entrance of each Hualian Supermarket, and we hope to get the support of Chairman Hua."
Huazhou squinted his eyes and pondered, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
As the most famous entrepreneur and manager in China at this stage, Huazhou's understanding of the mobile phone market is certainly not as simple as he said. He had not noticed it before, but after Lin Zheng expressed his idea of setting up a direct mobile phone sales counter in Hualian Supermarket, he immediately realized that for Hualian Supermarket, this may be an excellent opportunity to expand Hualian Supermarket's business scope and revenue!
Just like I said, mobile phones are no longer a luxury and a symbol of identity. The cheapest mobile phone can now be bought for more than 2,000 yuan. This means that more and more people can afford mobile phones, just like phones. As long as they can afford it, who would refuse this tool that can contact others anytime, anywhere, and be contacted by others anytime, anywhere?
Huazhou was moved.
