144. Someone inside
Of course, it’s not just the bags that benefit from the emergence of products such as bags.
Clothing, women's shoes, and even electrical appliances have also taken advantage of this wave of craze and doubled their sales.
Luo Xiu is more concerned about the sales of electrical appliances now.
Because next year, that is, 2010, will be a year of explosive growth for the electrical appliance category.
Historically, the transaction amount of electrical appliances on Taobao Mall in 2009 was only over 200 million, but by 2010, it soared to 1.2 billion.
This only counts the sales of Taobao Mall, not ordinary Taobao stores. At that time, the total sales of Taobao stores far exceeded that of mall stores.
But it is enough to show that next year will be a year for the electrical appliance category to take off.
Whether we can take the lead next year depends on whether we can lay a good foundation this year.
What is worth celebrating is that Pinru Electric took advantage of the popularity of this year’s Double Eleven and sold 5 million units, which can be said to be off to a good start.
What is needed now is to capture the wave of sales at the end of the year and prepare goods for next year.
People in this era like to buy large items such as home appliances and furniture at the end of the year.
Luo Xiu has not yet started to develop large-scale electronic products, but small-scale electronic products will also have a peak sales period at the end of the year.
"Boss, this is our activity plan for the New Year Festival. I estimate that we can sell 3 million yuan."
Lu Tianyun handed a plan to Luo Xiu a little uneasily.
He knows his boss's character and redoubles his activity plan every time.
The plan submitted now has sold 2 million less than Double Eleven, so the boss is probably going to lose his temper again.
But when he was asked to come up with a plan that exceeded Double Eleven sales, he couldn't think of any good ideas, so he had to bite the bullet and hand it over.
Luo Xiu read the plan and nodded with a smile: "3 million, not bad."
When Lu Tianyun heard what Luo Xiu said, he became even more afraid: "Boss, I know I'm not doing a good enough job, so you can scold me!"
The most terrifying thing is not that the boss is angry and curses, but what is even more terrifying is that he doesn’t curse, but instead says some ironic things in a weird way.
"Why, don't you feel comfortable not being scolded?" Luo Xiu couldn't help teasing, "Don't you have a masochistic constitution? Are you an M?"
"No, no." Lu Tianyun saw that his boss was still in the mood to joke, so he was convinced that he was really not angry.
"Then I will implement this plan. If there are any problems, I will report to you."
"Okay, go and do your work!"
Luo Xiu waved his hand and asked him to leave.
For promotional activities at non-critical nodes, try to let them complete them independently, and learn to let go slowly.
Otherwise, they will not be able to grow, and they will not have the extra energy to pick up girls...wrong, it is to open up new categories.
They have experienced a Double Eleven, and this kind of activity should be no problem for them.
A few days later, Lu Tianyun came over with a grimace and said, "Boss, the New Year Festival event has encountered a problem."
"explain."
"The manufacturer said that the goods they supplied to us before were too cheap, and now they want to raise the price."
"This is not a reason." Luo Xiu tapped the desk lightly, "There is a reason for any changes they have, and the real reason is usually not what they say."
"You are now responsible for docking with the factory, so you must establish a good relationship with some of their internal people and learn what happened to them as soon as possible." Luo Xiu glanced at him, "Last time I went to their factory, there was a little girl who was not
Are you very enthusiastic?"
"You mean Xiaocui..." Lu Tianyun saw Luo Xiu's meaningful smile and quickly said, "As far as I know, their boss invested a lot of money to build a new semi-automatic production line and wants to recover the funds quickly."
"Okay, I understand. You go make an appointment with their boss and tell me that I will go to their factory at two o'clock tomorrow."
"OK."
Luo Xiu had another headache when he thought about having to deal with such a factory owner.
Electrical appliances are different from clothing and shoes.
There are thousands of garment and shoe factories in the cities around Yangcheng, and replacement factories can be found at any time.
Electrical appliances are very complex, and if you find other factories to produce them, you have to open new molds, and you won't be able to finish them for a while.
E-commerce companies cannot run out of stock for a long time, otherwise the hot products they have made will be gone.
Guan Shiyu was quite happy, mainly because she could eat authentic Fengcheng food again.
"My dad gave me 5 million and said that for my two daughters, I want a bowl of water to drink." Guan Shiyu pouted, "I'm not jealous of my sister."
While driving the car, Luo Xiu said with a smile: "Although you don't think so, as parents, you will inevitably think more."
"You don't have any brothers or sisters in your family. Where did you learn the truth?"
"They often nag that they should have another daughter, but they are afraid of having another son."
Guan Shiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Then you must be too naughty."
"Don't laugh at me. The sons you will give birth to will also be ugly."
"No way. If I'm so good, my son must be good too."
"You are very good, but the child's father is very naughty!"
Only then did Guan Shiyu realize that he had taken advantage of her.
"Humph, you have a beautiful idea."
…
When we arrived at Yucheng Electrical Appliance Factory, Xiaocui from the administrative department stood at the door to greet us.
"Hello, Mr. Luo, Mr. Zhao has been waiting in the living room for a long time. Please come with me."
She walked a few steps and then pretended to ask accidentally: "Why didn't Store Manager Lu come with you this time?"
Luo Xiu heard her question and said deliberately: "He made serious mistakes at work and was fired by me."
"Ah! What mistake did he make?"
Luo Xiu looked at her worried look and couldn't help but smile: "Because he entered the company with his left leg this morning."
Guan Shiyu finally couldn't help it anymore, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Store manager Lu recently got a salary increase because of his good work performance."
Xiao Cui's face showed joy: "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask more questions. I just work with store manager Lu a lot, so I can't help but care."
Her worries and joys seemed to really interest Lu Tianyun.
Entering the reception room and seeing Zhao Yucheng, Luo Xiu asked directly: "Mr. Zhao, you are not being very interesting. How can the price that we all agreed on go up immediately?"
"Brother, it's not that I want to increase your price. In fact, the prices of various spare parts have increased now. I can only follow the increase, otherwise we will all suffer from the northwest wind."
Since they have decided to increase prices, they must have thought of the reasons.
At the same time, he also realized that he would not be able to change the foundry for a while.
Although a contract was signed in advance, the regulations stipulated in the contract were relatively broad.
Such a contract would have been beneficial to both parties. For Luo Xiu, e-commerce sales are very contingency and will surprise or scare you from time to time.
This requires active cooperation from the foundry beyond the contract.
