Rebirth: Back to 1993 as the richest man

Chapter 356 Market Performance

Xingyao vcd is on fire!

At least in the Shenzhen Department Store, it has become the star product that has been in the limelight for the past two days.

It's not because Xingyao VCD is better than Wanyan VCD, but the price of Xingyao VCD is much lower than Wanyan VCD, which greatly stimulates consumers who were originally discouraged by the high price of Wanyan VCD.

Of course, the popularity brought by Guo Yun's "Red Bean" is not small, but with the emergence of pirated VCDs, this effect will become weaker and weaker.

However, at least Chu Tianyao was the first to eat crabs before all the pirated VCDs started.

Shekou Building.

In the office, Hu Zhibiao was a little incoherent with excitement.

"Three hundred units, we sold three hundred units on the first day... This is double our expected plan!"

Not only Hu Zhibiao, but even Lu Qiuyu was a little surprised.

This is the first day on the market. If Chu Tianyao's follow-up supply is not sufficient, I'm afraid it will be sold out like Wan Yan's vcd.

You know, Wanyan's production plan for the whole year this year is no more than [-] units, while Chu Tianyao sold [-] units on the first day of listing, and the warehouse of Xingyao Technology is still stocking up on Ten thousand vcds.

"Our total revenue on the first day was 75 yuan. After deducting the listing fee and production costs, our profit is about 45 yuan."

Lu Qiuyu looked at the ledger in his hand and reported to Chutian Yaohui.

The profit is as high as 45 a day. If this continues, it will catch up with Xingyao Liquor.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiuyu couldn't help but her heart trembled.

"We just took advantage of the shortage of Wanyan's supply. When those pirates react, more and more people will divide up the cake."

Not as excited as the two of them, but Chu Tianyao saw through the VCD.

In my memory, VCD players didn't even become popular for ten years, and Wan Yan was submerged in the army of peers in the three or four years of competition.

Immediately afterwards, the new DVD player came out, completely replacing the VCD.

"Before Wanyan has yet to increase production, we must occupy the VCD market in Guangdong Province as much as possible before piracy occurs."

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianyao looked at the two people in front of him and said.

"Occupy the VCD market in Guangdong Province?"

When Hu Zhibiao heard it, there was a trace of unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

VCD compatible machines have just started, and they don't dare to boast about occupying the Shenzhen market, but Chu Tianyao has already set his sights on the entire Guangdong market.

If the current trend continues, it seems... this is not impossible.

"The sales channel can't be single. In the past few days, you can pick a few capable salesmen in the office and take them to the video halls in the streets of Shenzhen."

Chu Tianyao glanced at Hu Zhibiao and said.

When the latter heard this, he was a little puzzled.

Sell ​​vcds to video halls?

Although there are many video halls in Shenzhen City, there are only a hundred or so at best. It is really thankless to spend so much effort to sell them.

"Not to sell them, but to give... As long as it is a video room that provides VCD on-demand service, each one will give me a VCD player, and put our promotional posters on it."

Seeing the doubts in Hu Zhibiao's heart, Chu Tianyao explained.

"deliver?

Mr. Chu, the price of this vcd is not cheap, so give it away like this..."

Hu Zhibiao spoke halfway, but when his gaze touched Chu Tianyao's eyes, he choked back the second half of the sentence.

Yes!

How could Chu Tianyao not know about the loss-making business that he knew about.

There must be something hidden in it that he didn't want to understand.

Hu Zhibiao's voice paused, and he was not in a hurry to object, but after a moment of contemplation, a hint of understanding rose in his eyes.

"I see, President Chu wants to use these video halls to advertise for free!"

Suddenly realized, Hu Zhibiao slapped his thigh and continued: "Even if a hundred machines are sent out, it is only 10,000+, but there are many people who come and go in these video halls every day. After using the VCD player, it is hard to guarantee that the heart will not itch."

Hu Zhibiao thought about it carefully, but felt that this business was promising.

Seeing that Hu Zhibiao was quite clever, Chu Tianyao nodded.

If this guy can't even understand this point, I'm afraid Chu Tianyao really has to consider whether to reuse this kid in the future.

"The popularity of VCDs is very low, and many people have not even seen this product. Using these video halls as experience stores and allowing customers to fully experience the benefits of VCDs will naturally attract a group of potential customers for us."

Chu Tianyao said to the two people in front of him.

Experience store!

This idea was also thought up by Chu Tianyao.

If there is a special VCD experience store, it is naturally not necessary, but these video halls are ready-made experience places, and Chu Tianyao does not even need to spend more money, as long as a free VCD player is provided, want to come to those video halls The boss has absolutely no reason to refuse.

In this way, these potential users can quickly become consumers of Xingyao vcd.

According to the famous "Dunbar Number" law, behind a consumer user, there are often 150 potential users.

As long as Xingyao vcds are sold more, those users who have purchased the product will virtually become a promotion channel for their own products.

Just imagine.

In the 90s, whoever bought the latest DVD player would have caused the neighbors to discuss it for a long time, and there were naturally many relatives and neighbors who came to watch movies every day.

And in this way, without Chu Tianyao's promotion, the concept of vcd will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, what Chu Tianyao has to do is to quickly occupy the bulk of the sales channels before the market really causes a frenzy.

"By the way, I asked you to apply for a patent for Xingyao vcd compatible machine, how are you doing?"

In the office, Chu Tianyao looked at the excited Hu Zhibiao and asked.

Almost forgot business.

When Hu Zhibiao heard this, he quickly replied: "We can only apply for utility model patents and design patents for our compatible machines. As for invention patents, we cannot yet approve them."

Hearing this answer, Chu Tianyao was not surprised.

After all, to put it bluntly, his compatible machine is just an assembled product. The real technical patent is actually in the decoding technology, and Xingyao Technology naturally never has such a decoding technology.

As for the utility model patent, to put it bluntly, it is just a compatible machine invented by Hu Zhibiao on the basis of a CD player, equipped with a VCD decoder board. Such a product with low technical requirements but a certain practical value can apply for a utility model patent.

As for the appearance patent, Chu Tianyao didn't really care much about it, because it was even more difficult to defend this patent.

Others only need to slightly modify the appearance, and can bypass the restriction of the appearance patent.

Of course, something is better than nothing.

Everything is ready, Chu Tianyao is determined to be the first person to eat crabs, naturally he wants to eat the big head.
