The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen decided to refund all the franchise fees for the franchise stores directly developed by their company. Zhao Jingjing was reluctant to part with it and had strong opinions. She even told Zhang Chen that this was collected by Xiao Zhao family by family. If you just say something now, I just withdrew everything, and the more than one million yuan was gone. It was wasted, and I just felt bad.

Zhang Chen patiently told her, if you calculate the inventory reduction due to this, I am afraid it is more than one million. Without the franchise fee, now our relationship with the agents has become one-way, and we can only ask them to , they hardly ask us.

"But what if many stores don't sell our clothes because of this, or sell other goods while selling our clothes? There used to be a franchise fee, but he breached the contract, and we can deduct it. Now there is no franchise fee. We have no way to restrain them at all," Zhao Jingjing said.

"No, you shouldn't think so. If our clothes are easy to sell, who would be willing to sell our clothes? If he breaks the contract, we will scare him to death by canceling his agency right. Does it matter whether there is a franchise fee or not? ?”

Zhang Chen said: "If our clothes are not easy to sell, he will just buy them in. What's the use? With such a high exchange rate, don't these clothes return to our warehouse in the end? They entered randomly when they entered, and the result was... This has resulted in blind production in our factory. Our factory's production capacity, which can produce other goods and generate profits, is used to produce inventory, which can be said to be a huge waste.

"Now we control the exchange rate and reduce inventory, which is equivalent to releasing part of the production capacity of our factory. At the same time, from the agent's side, he will be careful when entering and will be careful when selling. If he works hard, if he can't sell it, it's just his inventory, why wouldn't he risk his life to sell it? Do you think this is true? "

Zhao Jingjing thought for a while and felt that what Zhang Chen said made sense, but she said, "I feel bad for having to refund such a large amount of money."

"I feel bad too. I don't like money. How can I make money if I don't like it?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"I don't see that you feel distressed." Zhao Jingjing complained, "The franchise fee is said to be refundable, but it is actually our money. According to the contract, it will not be returned to them until we terminate the contract, so isn't it our money? Now, it means we have to spend more than one million to give them money, why? Do you think you can do this in business?"

"Yes, you are right. According to the contract, there is almost no possibility of refunding the franchise fee, unless we go bankrupt. If we go bankrupt, there will be no money to refund. You are right. All those who charge franchise fees are I am cheating money, but when calculating the accounts, I have to calculate more carefully and further. I am using small money to exchange for the development of the company and big money. No matter how distressed I am, I have to do it."

Zhang Chen saw that Zhao Jingjing felt more sorry for the company's money than he did, and almost cursed. Zhang Chen felt a little moved, and he continued to talk to Zhao Jingjing patiently.

"Okay, then I'll ask Xiaoli to notify them and return them all." Zhao Jingjing had no choice but to say in the end.

Zhang Chen said yes, and when Zhao Jingjing turned around and went out, Zhang Chen remembered something again. He called Zhao Jingjing to stop, and Zhao Jingjing came back.

Zhang Chen and Zhao Jingjing said: "In Wuhu, when Xiang Qin transferred it to her, there was no franchise fee. You should refund the Wuhu franchise fee directly to Xiang Qin."

"Xiang Qin hasn't been doing it for so long, yet he still wants to refund the franchise fee?" Zhao Jingjing asked in surprise.

Zhang Chen said that she was right. She didn't say it herself, but she still gave it back to her. She was having a hard time now.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Zhang." Zhao Jingjing said.

…

Li Wei and the others added six more people to their e-commerce department, using all the rooms in the house. At the same time, they added four online stores on Diabao.com. In addition to the original "Half Acre Field", Four more stores were added: "Zhaomei", "Cotton and Linen Manufacturing", "Buyi Tianxiang" and "Southern Beauty".

From Zheng Huihong, Xiaoli not only learned about customers’ search habits and preferred keywords, but also understood the automatic ranking rules of Dibao.com’s search engine. She asked people in the e-commerce department to stop talking when there was no business to discuss. Search and click on your own website.

In this way, not only the visibility of their website is greatly enhanced, but it is also ranked at the top of every search page.

Diabao.com is also based on Zhang Chen's company. They were the first clothing sellers to enter their website. They also made many suggestions and contributions to their website. They put their "Half Acre of Field" advertisement on the homepage of Diabao.com. , at that time, Dabao.com had not yet had the confidence to charge advertising fees.

The business volume of Li Wei's e-commerce department has indeed grown rapidly. Now, they can sell an average of more than two hundred pieces of clothing a day.

Xiaoli and Zhang Chen said: "It's amazing. This has even caught up with the sales volume of my store. This is a bigger place, only a few people, and we don't even pay a penny for rent. This profit."

This growth rate is somewhat surprising to Zhang Chen. According to their current sales volume, it can already meet the production capacity of a small factory.

Zhang Chen told He Hongmei about this matter, and He Hongmei said that it is similar here. The workers here are all working on "Red Plum Blossoms", and the costumes requested by the crew are all given to other factories. We We are also looking for a suitable place to build a formal factory. Wenwen and Qianqian should not be too motivated right now.

"Wenwen doesn't even want to be a weightlifter anymore?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Pao, he comes here often. When he comes, he helps us pack and move things. Wenwen told him that this is the ancient city of wild fire, spring breeze, and love in the flames of war."

After He Hongmei finished speaking, the two people laughed on the phone.

Zhang Chen and He Hongmei said that they wanted to visit Beijing. He Hongmei shouted, "Don't say goodbye. When I move out from here and the villa becomes a villa, I will welcome President Zhang here again. Now, I am going to Hangzhou."

"Okay." Zhang Chen said, "However, I have to remind you that Xiaofang will be back in more than a month. She is not an old person, and she is not that easy to fool."

"Who dares to fool her? She doesn't need to fool her. I can just talk to her all night long and she will understand." He Hongmei said.

I hope so, Zhang Chen thought.

Zhang Chen's cell phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin went to Beijing to attend the auction. There were three paintings in this auction. Zhang Chen and the others were interested. The most important thing was that they were in this auction. In the auction catalogue, I saw a painting of a small tree.

Zhang Chen had never seen this painting before. It was small in size, measuring 45 centimeters by 75 centimeters. Among Xiaoshu’s works, it was not considered the best. Xiaoshu had his own paintings that he was proud of. They would show it to Zhang Chen. If the size was too big, Xiaoshu would take Zhang Chen to see it. This one probably wasn’t the most satisfactory to Xiaoshu, so he didn’t show it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen asked Xiaoshu, and Xiaoshu recalled that it was a recess homework. After the painting was completed, it was kept in the school's studio. Someone came to their school last year, saw it, and bought it from him for 10,000 yuan.

There was a lot of noise in the background on Zhao Xin's phone. Apparently the auction had just ended. Zhang Chen asked, "How was it? Did you buy those three paintings?"

"Nothing was collected, not a single piece was bought." Zhao Xin laughed.

"Are you so happy that you have no harvest?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, I'm happy. I'm just happy. I'm only happy when there's no harvest." Zhao Xin continued to smile on the phone.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen was confused.

"The situation is that now the entire oil painting market has gone crazy, crazy." Zhao Xin said, "For example, Wu Guanzhong's painting sold for more than 7 million yuan, and Lin Fengmian's painting also sold for more than 6 million yuan. .”

"It's so high. Is it an oil painting? Are it the two paintings in the catalog?" Zhang Chen said, "It's impossible."

"Boss, do you think I can't tell whether it's an oil painting? I just can't tell whether it's an oil painting or a Chinese painting, and I can't tell whether it's the same one as the one in the catalog? Do you think I'm stupid, boss?"

Zhao Xin asked a series of questions, and she continued: "Not only that, the prices of living painters, including young painters, are soaring. Boss, guess how much the painting of Xiao Shu cost?"

Zhang Chen thought for a moment: "Thirty thousand?"

"Be bold, it's too low." Zhao Xin said.

Although Zhang Chen thought it was impossible, he still said: "Fifty thousand?"

"Too low, come again."

Zhang Chen gritted his teeth: "Is it 80,000?"

"There are 80,000, but only 280,000!" Zhao Xin shouted.

"I'll go, no! You mean the painting of the little tree cost 280,000 yuan?" Zhang Chen was really shocked.

"Yes, that's right, it's 280,000 yuan. The auction company said that if it were "Sister", it would definitely break 1 million." Zhao Xin said.

"Oh my god, so Xiaoshu can support himself by painting?"

Zhang Chen felt that this was incredible. A painter could support himself by painting. In the past, he had to live until he was seventy or eighty, and he had to have an identity within the system. At Xiaoshu's age, he was in an art academy. A poor student who is still studying...?

"Not only does it make a living, he paints and you can live a very prosperous life. If you buy a painting from him this year, I can guarantee that I will be embarrassed to ask for less than 100,000." Zhao Xin said.

Zhang Chen chuckled. He was really surprised and really happy for Xiaoshu.

"With such a high price, do I dare to sell those three paintings? However, I have contacted the painter himself. I will go to their studio to have a look. With the reputation of our oil painting studio, I should be able to buy them at half the price. painted."

Zhang Chen said yes, he will be outside and you can do whatever you want.

"Boss, why are you not as happy as I expected?" Zhao Xin said, "There is a question you didn't expect, right?"

"What's the problem?" Zhang Chen asked.

"How much do you think the paintings in our oil painting collection are worth now?" Zhao Xin said.

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really didn't expect this."

"Then start thinking about it from now on, and have fun while thinking about it. I feel happy just thinking about it. I saw them raising the placards in front of me, and I was saying in my heart, lift it up, lift it up, lift it up as hard as you can, this is all Help us carry it." Zhao Xin laughed on the phone.
