Chapter 306 Cooperation of retail stores

  The hotel waiter took them to the door of the room, opened the door and invited them in.

  The box is very spacious. After entering the door, you have to go around the screen and then pass through the lounge to come to the formal dining area. As soon as I entered the door, I heard conversations one after another, and laughter continued. The people around the dining table were all gorgeously dressed and stylishly dressed men and women, there were about eleven or two people.

   Seeing Wang Le appear, someone got up: "The last one to arrive will be fined a cup!"

  Wang Le said with a smile: "The big name always has to be the finale, and I brought the real big name, no matter how late, there are legitimate reasons!"

Everyone turned their attention to An Feng and Joanna. Both of them were dressed in formal attire. An Feng was wearing a suit and leather shoes, very chic without a bow tie. Joanna was wearing a champagne three-quarter skirt, necklace and earrings, and a wallet in her hand. , full-bodied European socialite fan.

  The dress styles of the four people are more formal, and those present are more casual, especially when compared with the other women, the two ladies in dresses have a very different temperament. After a few glances, Ye Ning stood up and said enthusiastically, "Hi! Ann, we meet again!"

   "Long time no see, Mr. Ye!" An Feng nodded.

   The first person asked: "Brother Le, don't you want to introduce?"

"Isn't it brewing!" Wang Le turned sideways to make room, "This is my good buddy, An Feng, you can also call him Bruce, overseas Chinese, super rich, huge influence, and very interesting. You know that I can boast So many people are definitely not ordinary people!"

   "Nice to meet you all!" An Feng smiled.

   "You are very welcome, Mr. Ann!" Everyone said.

  Wang Le continued to introduce: "Don't think about the beautiful woman next to you, because she is my buddy's wife, the honorable lady Joanna from England."

   "Hi!" Joanna greeted.

Wang Le's introduction has attracted everyone's attention. The Wang family is also well-known in China. The family business is very large, and the assets are estimated to be tens of billions. In the past two years, they have established relationships with foreign fertilizer giants, focusing on agriculture. Development, the outside world estimates that assets have doubled.

  As Wang Le, one of the several heirs of the Wang family, the person who can make him say so many words of praise, even if they have never met before, must be a big shot. Some sharp-eyed people have even recognized that Joanna is very similar to the recently hotly discussed female boss in the Premier League.

   "Mr. An, Madam, hello!" The man before him stretched out his hand to them, "My name is Yu Hao, nice to meet you!"

"Me too, Mr. Yu!" An Feng shook hands with him, and looked at him at the same time. He was about 30 years old, and he should be the same age as Wang Le. He was tall but thinner, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he was very business-like. look like. He was the first to start the game, so it should have some weight.

  An Feng has seen many people, and automatically formed a judgment in his heart. After shaking hands, he turned to the two bodyguards and said, "I will call you if necessary."

   "Okay, sir!" Neil nodded, and Scarlett left the dining room to rest in the lounge outside, where there were also waiters serving tea.

   After a brief acquaintance, everyone sat down.

  The topic focused on An Feng. First, Ye Ning talked about his experience and knowledge of the last self-driving trip to the United States, and then Wang Le explained some.

   "So Madam is the mysterious female boss who was hotly discussed before?" Yu Hao looked at Joanna, "Excuse me, but I didn't recognize the real person when he appeared!"

   "It's okay," Joanna said, "I don't appear in public very often."

   "Understandable, you are so beautiful, walking on the street will definitely attract a lot of people to watch." Yu Hao said with a smile, complimenting calmly.

   "Thank you." Joanna smiled brightly.

Yu Hao nodded, and greeted the waiter: "You can let the chef serve! We are eating and chatting, we are already hungry, so you don't have to be too cautious, this is a gourmet party, how you usually play, how you do now Play, be polite with me and you won't be buddies next time!"

  Wang Le smiled: "Whoever is polite to you will eat you!"

  Yu Hao said: "It has to be like this, everyone please!"

  After the food was served, everyone picked up their knives and forks to taste. This hotel is famous for its dishes and provides local dishes, but its specialty is mixed dishes. It is not as complicated as French dishes, but it has the same exquisite craftsmanship. The top meals performed by Michelin star chefs, such as deep sea bass meat, Kobe's top beef, a bottle of red wine tens of thousands of yuan... This is a luxurious feast.

The dinner was enjoyed by the delicious food, and the conversation was simple. When everyone was half full, it was already the beginning of the lights outside, so they moved to the spacious sky garden outside the box, and sat in front of the woven booth. Bartenders serve them.

  The lights in the outdoor garden have been turned on. Everyone finds a place to sit down, pour a glass of after-dinner drink or cocktail, and chat freely. Most of them are men talking, because there are not many wives at the scene, and the others are female companions, very young.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the so-called young models on the Internet, with thin arms and thin legs, and then uniformly has an awl face, big eyes, and the appearance of a good sister. It is a bit like a mass-produced appearance coming off the assembly line. I guess it is not talking about it. It's just a temporary female companion, it doesn't have much connotation.

  The wives were different. Joanna and the man were talking about football, which caused a lot of laughter. Lisa also played her role very well, and she was very particular about the art of conversation. They are both women, wearing famous brands and using famous brands, but the connotation of temperament makes them stand out from each other.

Generally speaking, this gathering is okay. Domestic and foreign countries are different. Foreign countries pay more attention to western social etiquette, which is typically in line with Europe, while the atmosphere in China is more relaxed. No one is better, but each has its own characteristics. Well adapted to every environment.

They exchanged business opportunities, recent developments, and the second and third generations didn't drive cars all day long and cause accidents. After that, they let their powerful fathers wipe their asses. Wang Le and his friends all have their own goals, their own struggles, and their family background is just one. A better starting point than others.

   And the topic naturally cannot do without curiosity about An Feng.

   An Feng has a lot of business opportunities, but it is obviously not suitable for this group of young people. If he wants to come, he should be their father, who can decide the movement of billions or tens of billions of funds. But everyone was so enthusiastic and looking forward to it, so he used his brains and brought Joanna's cell phone in her handbag.

   "Have you heard of Nokia?" An Feng asked.

   "Most of us are born in the 1980s, don't you know?" Everyone laughed.

   "I'm talking about the recent acquisition of a brand." An Feng said.

  They all only heard that they were bought, but they didn't know the details of the transaction, but Ye Ning said: "It's a British communication company called Burger Company?"

Yu Hao also said at this time: "It's called Berg Information Technology Company. They spent a high price of 350 million US dollars to buy a brand that is not very valuable, and it can only be used for seven years. If it wasn't for the fact that there is a GP company behind it Support, I am afraid this is a very unwise acquisition."

  An Feng unlocked the phone and put it on the table: "This is the first Nokia engineering prototype of Berg Company, take a look."

   "Good stuff!" Wang Le quickly picked it up with sharp eyes.

An Feng introduced: "At present, except for the camera, it is all high-tech, graphene screen, graphene chip, and a miniature motherboard that only occupies a quarter of the body, a super battery with excellent battery life, and a dedicated high-voltage charger. , completed in fifteen minutes."

After Wang Le got familiar with the interface, he connected to the hotel’s WiFi, opened the built-in browser, and downloaded a few softwares according to An Feng’s instructions, all of which could be used. If he wanted the interface, he could use a virtual machine to enter a virtual In the environment of Android or IOS.

   "Take a look!" Someone suggested that Android has ruined many people.

"Wait!" Wang Le ran for a minute, and soon, everyone's eyes widened, and the number was about to explode. According to the detected CPU frequency, it has reached 150GHZ, and the processing speed of a single core can kill any current Home machine platform, the performance is extremely powerful.

   "Where did you get this artifact?" Ye Ning asked in surprise.

  Everyone looked at An Feng, guessing in their hearts, and even some quick-witted ones had already seen business opportunities.

  An Feng did not hide anything, and said directly: "My wife is a shareholder of the company, so I can take the engineering prototype at will. This mobile phone is not the final version yet."

  Yu Hao said: "Nokia mobile phone...Are you planning to re-promote it in China?"

"That's right." An Feng nodded, "Just like the business model of Apple's retail stores, it needs to be opened all over the world. China is a huge market. The once prosperous Nokia is an example. Although it has faded now, with high technology, I believe It will rise."

An Feng’s words undoubtedly mean seeking cooperation. Take Apple’s retail stores as an example. Excellent stores have an annual turnover of more than one billion. If mobile phones are to be favored by the public, the Chinese market needs at least two official direct stores, and then countless Authorized retail store.

Considering the funds, if you want to promote globally, the demand for funds is very large. On average, each official direct-sale store needs 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars. To open hundreds of direct-sale stores around the world, at least 2 billion U.S. dollars, the company's funds Certainly not enough, so the board considered some level of cooperation.

  After Yu Hao experienced the mobile phone, he was very interested: "If we cooperate, what will be the main form?"

   "Official stores accept 10%-20% investment, and authorized stores have sufficient funds." An Feng said. This is also decided by the directors of Berg Company. If the direct operation is wholly-owned, even if it is a loan, the company's funds will not be enough. They need to cooperate with local investors to share the pressure.

  Others have also expressed their intention to cooperate. With so many new technologies and ideas, the potential is great. From the perspective of Apple mobile phones, its original growth has stopped, but it has become popular with new batteries. Now that more high-tech is concentrated together, it is unreasonable not to be popular.

  An Feng exchanged some inside information with them, and then left the company's contact information for them to talk to the company. At present, the company's main promotion areas are Western Europe and North America. Since the United States has the largest market, it does not need a partner and operates directly as a sole proprietorship, as do parts of Europe.

  Two official directly-operated stores may be established in China. The capital of each store is estimated to be about 120 million yuan, accepting 20% ​​of foreign investment, and the management personnel will be appointed by the company. Both Yu Hao and Ye Ning are willing to regard it as a high-return venture investment, and even Wang Le is also very interested.

  As for authorized retail stores, there are very few requirements. As long as the funds are sufficient, the franchise fee and management fee can be paid to the company to purchase goods from the company and set up stores in every major city in the country. Since the directly-operated store is a subsidiary, 10% of the shares are worth 12 million, but at least 50 million or more.

Even if you don’t consider investing in subsidiaries, it’s a very profitable idea to specialize in retail stores and chain operations in big cities. After all, the area radiated by official stores is limited, and the Chinese market is huge, and the turnover of retail stores is higher than that of official stores. Not surprising.
