Top of the big era

Yang Mi came to London. She is now the chairman of Farfetch China and holds a high position. It is said that she came here to negotiate a new plan with Farfetch headquarters to get the goods faster.

This company has developed quite well and is quite well-known in small circles, such as female celebrities, female models, female hosts, female peripherals, etc., all of whom like to shop there.

Not only is it cheap, but you can also buy a lot of products that you can't buy in physical stores. You order directly online and have them shipped from Europe.

The advantage is that the profit of a single product is high enough, but the disadvantage is that the scale is small, the delivery time is slow, and it cannot be popularized by the public.

It is destined to be a small company.

But this is also good, Yang Mi is very satisfied with her current life.

As the chairman, she has more of a symbolic meaning, like a mascot. She mainly does promotion and publicity in the entertainment industry. She is usually very relaxed.

So much so that she recently took on a new drama and plans to act in it, in order to maintain her "star" positioning, strive for higher visibility, and promote Farfetch through her own influence.

Before coming to London, she called Zhou Buqi, but he didn't answer the call and went directly to Frankfurt to see Mr. Hope without waiting for her.

There is good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Hope doesn't quite agree with the commercial aspect of Zhou Buqi's idea of ​​a world-wide football group. He feels that the cost is too high and he doesn't see any profit prospects. He doesn't want to participate in the investment.

The good news is that he recognizes the competitive effect produced by this model. He will not participate in the business aspect, but is willing to cooperate at the competitive level. At the same time, he expressed his willingness to let Rangnick leave and let Rangnick build this football empire according to his own football philosophy.

It finally paid off.

It's summer now, and Rangnick went on vacation with his family. He said that even if the sky falls, it won't affect his time with his family. He can wait until his vacation is over on August 7 to discuss anything!

He actually refused directly on the phone.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi also met some Germans and saw their straightforward style, so he wasn't surprised.

After leaving Frankfurt, we will go to Warsaw, Poland.

The second sister Shi Jingmei also came.

The production factory of the Chaowan Commune she built in Warsaw has reached the final stage of machine assembly and will be ready for production soon. Go see the effect.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Buqi was preparing to leave at the airport, he suddenly received a call from Yang Mi, saying that she had arrived in Frankfurt.

Zhou Buqi didn't know what the goblin was going to do, and was a little surprised, "Where are you? I'm at the airport."

"Ah! I'm at the airport too. I just got off the plane! Which airport are you from? I'm at... well, it's the one in the city center. I don't know what it's called."

"Main Airport?"

"Yes, Main, that seems to be what it means."

"Where are you?"

"It's right at the door. I just got off the plane not long ago and haven't left the lobby yet." Yang Mi was very excited and jumped for joy, "Please send someone to pick me up!"

Zhou Buqi had nothing to do with her, "Just wait there."

15 minutes later, Yang Mi appeared on the private plane.

Her eyes were clear and bright, with curved eyebrows and long eyelashes beating gently, as if she was looking for something. Her fair and flawless skin showed a faint pink color, suppressing the excitement that could not be hidden.

Perhaps because she became the boss of the luxury clothing company Farfetch, her clothing aesthetic has been greatly improved. A white short top, paired with high-waisted plaid straight trousers, combined with the vision of a slender figure and long legs. The effects are all reflected, and at first glance it looks like a model on a catwalk.

Zhou Buqi saw her and waved to her, "Come here."

Yang Mi's eyes flashed, as if she hadn't seen him for a few years. Her smile was as bright as a flower, and she rushed over. She threw herself into Zhou Buqi's arms like a little girl, and then hung in her arms like an octopus. On his body, and then exchanged their heart-to-hearts affectionately.

Zhou Buqi quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling.

This is embarrassing!

Even if there are two secretaries, Sun Wanran and Ning Lu, they are well-informed.

However, Senior Sister Zhen Yu is also there!

She is relatively cold and restrained in this aspect, and often actively avoids similar scenes. This was probably the first time I saw the heart-stopping interaction between Boss Zhou and the little star.

That's it, no matter what, Senior Sister Zhen Yu is one of our own.

But, there was a stewardess next to me!

Can the flight attendant understand?

More importantly, the second sister Shi Jingmei is also here!

Depend on!

Now the secret is revealed.

They were all discovered by her.

When Zhou Buqi turned his head, he saw the teasing, ridiculous, and somewhat contemptuous look in her eyes. Now, it’s okay, there’s no need to pretend to be serious.

Shi Jingmei's mouth curled up slightly, and her tone sounded like gun and stick, "Oh, are you two role-playing?"

Zhou Buqi ignored this and signaled the flight attendant to check Yang Mi's passport. If there was no problem, she could take off to Poland. Then, he asked angrily: "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Seeing that he wasn't really angry, Yang Mi breathed a long sigh of relief, snuggled up to him like a bird, hugged his arm with both hands, and said with a smile, "I miss you."

Zhou Buqi didn't believe such nonsense and snorted, "Tell the truth! Did you get into trouble?"

"No way?" Yang Mi pursed her lips and said resentfully, "Last time you took Bingjie, Reya and the others to Dubai, you didn't take me with you."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's for work. How hard will it be to go to Dubai in the summer?"

"You also went to Hawaii. I saw the photos in Reya's circle of friends, as well as the small islands in Portugal and the Aegean Sea in Greece. You are too partial."

"No favoritism, you are busy with work. I have made you the chairman, but you still don't understand who I love the most?"

Zhou Buqi patted her shoulder to express comfort.

However, he didn't believe Yang Mi's lies.

She ran over eagerly and her mouth was so sweet. She must be up to something bad!

Shi Jingmei's eyes on the opposite side were like daggers, and she became more and more contemptuous. She felt that this brother-in-law was not a good person, and he was not very thick-skinned.

Zhou Buqi coughed, feeling embarrassed to be in love with her son and daughter in front of her, so he asked without any words: "Um... By the way, how many sales did Manchester United's blind boxes have this year? ?”

"You don't know?" Shi Jingmei glanced at him, "That depends on Manchester United's statistics."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment.

Shi Jingmei said: "Manchester United's data is sales data."

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Buqi was startled, "You're not going to fake this, are you? Are you going to make a small profit out of it?"

Data falsification is all too common.

It’s the same at home and abroad.

For example, how many of Manchester United’s player blind boxes have been sold around the world? Chaowan Commune can have one data, and Manchester United can also have one data.

Manchester United's data is related to royalties. The more they sell, the more they earn. The net profit of each blind box can reach 2 pounds.

However, for blind box sales in global regions, Chaowan Commune directly cooperates with agents, so it can play tricks on the data.

For example, if 100 blind boxes are sold, the data provided to Manchester United is 80 blind boxes... In this way, Chaowan Commune will make more profits, and Manchester United's income will be less.

But this is completely unnecessary!

Data falsification is a big loss!

Shi Jingmei said angrily: "Who made the fraud? Don't slander others."

"That is how the matter?"

"There are returns and exchanges! The factory quantity of Chaowan Commune is much larger than the real sales volume. Manchester United's data is the real sales volume, and the data of Chaowan Commune is only the factory quantity, and there are many defective products. , returned goods and inventory, these will be calculated into the cost and destroyed together."

"Don't destroy it. Keep the unsold inventory. In a few years, this will become a collector's edition, and the price will be higher by then. Take back all the inventory."

Zhou Buqi gave his own suggestions.

Shi Jingmei shook her head gently, "This is not a good deal."

"What's wrong?"

"Recycling inventory scattered all over the world requires a lot of operating and transportation fees. When shipped, the quantity is very large, and the cost amortized to each blind box is very low. If it is recycled, the quantity Very little, and the amortized cost is too high. It is better to destroy the returned goods, residual goods and inventory on the spot, and then restart production at the factory. This can also create a higher GDP and provide more labor opportunities."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, assess the cost."

Yang Mi was shocked, her beautiful eyes widened, "I watched the news some time ago, and it was said that Amazon destroyed goods with a total value of 2.2 billion US dollars. I also thought capitalists were disgusting, but it turned out to be so complicated."

Inventory, depreciation, defective products and returns are indeed the complexity of the manufacturing industry. Zhou Buqi is very interested in this matter. "How much is the sales volume? I am shocked to see the data from Manchester United. I rely on blind data for a year." The box business has earned 28 million pounds. On average, a blind box can bring a profit of 2 pounds to Manchester United, and a net profit of 28 million pounds. Does that mean the real sales volume is 14 million?"

Shi Jingmei said softly, "Yeah, almost. The error is less than 20%."

Then, she took out her phone, found the relevant data, and read it out.

Europe: 6.4 million shipped;

Asia: 3.2 million units were shipped to the Korean market, 6 million units were shipped to the Southeast Asian market, and a total of 820,000 units were shipped to the Chinese and Japanese markets;

North America: 440,000 shipped.

Australia shipped 230,000.

At present, it is basically these major markets, with total shipments of 17.09 million.

In other words, about 3 million blind boxes will be wasted and will be centrally processed and destroyed, and will be included in the operating costs of Chaowan Commune this year.

The production, labor, packaging and shipping costs of each blind box are approximately £1.50, which means a loss of £4.5 million on this amount alone.

Fortunately, the profit of blind box is high enough!

Every blind box sold in the UK can create a gross profit of 3.0 pounds for Chaowan Commune. In Southeast Asia and South Korea, the profit of each blind box is about 2.6 pounds; in China and Japan, the profit of a single product is 2.5 pounds; in other regions that rely on third-party agents to take full responsibility, each blind box can also have a profit of 1.8 pounds.

In the past year, Manchester United made 28 million pounds relying on blind boxes, which is the biggest winner. Chaowan Commune borne more, but it was not much different. The operating profit of the product line also reached 22 million pounds.
