Mountain City.
As the name implied.
This was a metropolis built on a mountain.
Three sides were facing the river and one side was facing the mountain. The buildings in the entire city were stacked up, and the roads spiraled up. There were many slopes.
Zeng Yide rode an electric bike at the intersection, waiting for the passing cars. He was going to cross the intersection and go to the street ahead, where there were two bicycle dealers.
He was riding a Fengchi No. 1 electric bike.
In a city like Shancheng, where there were many slopes, only the Fengchi No. 1 could use it. Other electric cars could not climb up the slope at all.
In this city, it was an exaggeration to say that one-third of the road had to be pushed up the slope…
As a native of Mountain City and a former member of the Legend of Mir 2, Zeng Yide didn't know the situation of the streets and alleys of Mountain City like the back of his hand, but he wasn't too far off.
He didn't know exactly where a bicycle dealer was, but he knew a few of them.
The reason why he was looking for a bicycle dealer was because he had transferred from Legend of Mir 2's pushcart team to the Fengchi electric bike's pushcart team.
Furthermore, he was the person in charge of the Fengchi electric bike in Shancheng.
Now, although he had recruited a few local promotion staff to promote the Fengchi No. 1 electric car in the streets and alleys of the mountain city.
However, Zeng Yide was still doing the pushing himself.
This was because every time he opened a new store, all the electric cars sold in that store would be counted as his performance, and he would get an additional commission.
After a while, a few cars finally drove past.
Zeng Yide hurriedly rode his Fengchi No. 1 electric bike across the road and soon arrived at the first bicycle dealer.
"Little brother, do you want to buy a bicycle?”
The owner of the bicycle shop saw Zeng Yide stop in front of his shop and get off the bicycle, so he immediately went up to him warmly.
Zeng Yide looked at the bicycles in the shop and couldn't help but smile. He said to the owner,""Boss, you only sell bicycles here?”
The boss was stunned. He looked at Zeng Yide suspiciously and said,""I'm here to buy a bicycle. Of course, only bicycles are for sale.”
"Haha."
Zeng Yide smiled again, then patted his Fengchi No. 1 electric bike and said, Boss, what do you think of this electric bike?”
Hmm?
The boss was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Zeng Yide's Fengchi No.1 and seemed to have guessed his purpose. He waved his hand and said,"No, I don't plan to sell this thing here.”
"It's hard to even climb a slope with this thing, and it's so expensive that no one wants to buy it.”
Zeng Yide was not in a hurry. He smiled and said,""Boss, my car is different from ordinary electric cars. This bike could easily climb up the slope. Even if it was carrying an adult, it could easily climb up the slope, let alone riding alone.”
"Moreover, my car can go up to 40 km(h at the fastest!”
"40 yards?"
The boss was a little surprised. He could not help but take a closer look at the Fengchi No. 1 electric bike."Little brother, can this car really run 40 kilometers and climb up the slope easily?”
"What else?" Zeng Yide laughed. I've always been riding this bike myself. I'm also from the mountain city, so I know the road conditions very well. If this bike can't climb hills, do you think I'll be able to ride it everywhere?”
"If that were the case, I'd tire myself half to death pushing it up the slope.”
"Boss, if you don't believe me, you can try riding it yourself, or I can give you a ride?”
The boss was really interested.
He naturally knew about electric cars. However, according to his understanding, those things were not practical in the mountain city at all. They were also expensive. No one bought it at all.
However, since the young man in front of him said that the car could climb hills and could even go 40 kilometers per hour, he really wanted to give it a try.
So he said,"Alright, then you can drive me around. I want to see if this car is really as awesome as you say. It can even climb up the slope while carrying people!"”
"No problem, boss. Get in the car then. I'll take you for a ride!”
Zeng Yide said with a smile.
Soon, the boss sat in the back. Zeng Yide drove him around and even found a few slopes to ride on.
"This car can actually carry people up the slope, and it's so fast…"
After experiencing it, the boss couldn't help but exclaim.
"What do you think, boss?" Zeng Yide laughed."How about I get someone to transfer a few of these electric bikes to your shop?"”
Zeng Yide glanced at him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to him.
The boss took the cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He looked at the Fengchi No. 1 electric bike and said,"Alright then! Then let's try and see if we can sell it.”
"Heh, alright, then I'll get someone to transfer a few cars over later.”
Zeng Yide was delighted.
The boss said,"Let me tell you in advance. If this car can't be sold, I can return it to you."”
"Don't worry. If you really can't sell it, you can return it to me at any time.”
Zeng Yide promised.
The boss nodded and asked again,""By the way, which company is your electric bike from? How can it drive so fast and climb hills?”
"This is much more awesome than those other electric cars!”
Zeng Yide explained with a smile,"Our electric car is called Fengchi. This is the Fengchi No. 1 electric car. Our company only has this one model at the moment."”
"Also, let me tell you, our company's electric car uses the internationally advanced high-speed motor technology imported from the United States.”
"It's not comparable to the low-speed motor used by other domestic manufacturers.”
"In addition, if you watch our Shancheng TV, you should be able to see the advertisement for our Fengchi No. 1 electric car.”
The boss was surprised."This car uses American technology? "No wonder it's so much better than other electric vehicles. It can drive so fast and climb hills easily…" The
Fengchi No. 1 electric vehicle had the only high-speed motor technology in the country. It was no exaggeration to say that it was invincible in the electric vehicle market.
Due to the terrain of the mountain city, the electric vehicle market was completely undeveloped.
The Fengchi No. 1 electric vehicle was the first to eat the crab. It was also the only one who could eat the 'crab' of Shancheng.
Although it was a little troublesome to promote it at first, it would take some time for the consumers in Shancheng to accept electric cars and accept that the Fengchi No. 1 electric car could climb hills.
Zeng Yide's sales strategy for each dealer was simple. He asked them to drive the consumers who were interested in buying the car for a ride and climb a few slopes.
After the initial difficult stage of promotion, as the Fengchi No. 1 electric car sold a few cars in Shancheng one after another.
Through word of mouth, coupled with the advertisement of the Fengchi electric bike on Shancheng TV and the strong recommendation of the dealer boss, the Fengchi No. 1 electric bike quickly became popular in Shancheng and quickly opened up the entire Shancheng market...
For those dealers, selling a bicycle only made a few dollars.
And selling a Fengchi No. 1 electric car could earn at least two to three hundred yuan!
One had to know that most of the people in Mountain City now only had a monthly income of 800 to 900 yuan. That was equivalent to selling four or five Fengchi No. 1 electric cars a month, which would earn most of the people in Mountain City a month's income.
Moreover, as the reputation of the Fengchi No. 1 electric car gradually spread in Shancheng, these dealers sold more than four or five electric cars a month.
Because the profit from selling electric bikes was much higher than that of bicycles, many bicycle shop owners even directly changed their business and only sold Fengchi No. 1 electric bikes.
This was a story for the future.
Not only Mountain City, but also Chengdu City, which had a similar terrain to Mountain City. The situation was similar.
The appeal of the Fengchi No. 1 electric vehicle to consumers in these two cities was self-evident.
As for other places, such as Huijing, Qingdao, Xixiang, etc., once the Fengchi No. 1 electric vehicle was launched, it quickly occupied the market and beat other electric vehicle brands to the point of being unable to find the north.
The other electric cars were far inferior to the Fengchi No. 1 in all aspects. They were not on the same level.
The price of the Fengchi No. 1 electric car was only 300 to 400 yuan more than other electric cars.
The consumers knew what to choose.
At the end of August.
Li Ze came to Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company and listened to Song Ming's report on the sales in the first and middle of August.
"Director Li, by the end of August, our Fengchi No. 1 electric car has already opened the market in Huijing, Chengdu, Shancheng…a total of 17 larger cities.”
"Among them, the highest sales volume in a single city is in the Shanghai market. More than 5,800 cars have been sold in 20 days, which has already exceeded the total for last month. "Next are Shancheng and Rongcheng, which broke through 2,700 and 2,500 respectively…"
Song Ming reported the sales of each city one by one.
This data was only for the 20th, which included the first half of August and the middle of August.
As for the latter half of the month, because this month was not over yet, the specific sales data would not be tabulated so quickly.
"In the first half of August, the total sales volume of Fengchi No. 1 in seventeen cities in the country was more than 31,000! Realized revenue of more than 80 million."
"The profit is about 50 million…"
The cost of the Fengchi No. 1 electric car was less than 600 yuan. Especially with the mass production, the cost continued to be diluted, so the profit margin was surprisingly high.
And this was only the sales volume and revenue for the 20th day of August.
For the entire August, the Fengchi electric vehicle's revenue would definitely exceed 100 million!
Li Ze was also very satisfied that he had another company with a monthly revenue of more than 100 million yuan under his name.
After listening to Song Ming's report, Li Ze nodded slightly and asked,""How's the construction of the new production workshop at the factory going? What about the production line?"
During this period of time, most of the orders for the Fengchi No. 1 electric car were actually handed over to other foundries for production. Otherwise, the original production line would not be able to meet the market demand even if it was three shifts. It was impossible to produce so many cars.
Song Ming quickly replied,"The main body of the workshop has been built, and the production line will be shipped over soon. It is estimated that the testing will be completed at the beginning of next month and the production will officially begin..."
After leaving Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company, Li Ze went to Zerun Technology.
A few days ago, Sun Ting had reported to him that the registration procedures for Zerun Holding Group and Zerun Investment Company had been completed.
Li Ze also transferred his 46% shares of Penguin Corporation and 10% shares of Xiaxing Microelectronics to Zerun Investment.
It was just a shell. There was no difference in essence.
However, the recruitment of these two companies had not yet begun. During this time, Shen Qianru had been helping to select resumes and had also contacted several headhunting companies to recruit candidates.
After all, ordinary employees were fine, but the senior management positions of these two companies required professional and senior talents to be competent.
Two days ago, Shen Qianru had reported to Li Ze that a portion of the resumes had been screened. She had also informed him to come to the company for an interview the day after tomorrow.
This company referred to Zerun Holding Group.
Previously, Li Ze had asked Shen Qianru to rent the entire floor of the office building where Legend Games and Zerun Technology were located through Zerun Holding Group and Zerun Investment.
However, there were no floors connected to Zerun Technology and Legend of Mir 2. They rented the 37th floor.
It didn't affect him much.
Next, Zerun Holding Group and Zerun Investment would be working on the 37th floor.
In addition, a week ago, the iMusic platform was also officially launched.
This platform was currently not very useful in China. It was only convenient for Z1 and D1 MP3 users to download music.
The digital music copyright in the country…Piracy was rampant, and the relevant laws and regulations were not perfect.
Even if Li Ze wanted to push for a fee, it would be impossible. The consumers were already used to downloading songs for free online and would not accept the fact that they had to pay for the download of songs.
However, the situation in the US market was very different.
They paid attention to copyright.
Although it wasn't impossible to download free songs from the Internet, they were basically small games.
Once the interests of the copyright company were truly affected, the platform that provided pirated downloads and even the equipment manufacturers would inevitably face copyright lawsuits.
However, Li Ze had given Lin Yue full authority over the operation of the iMusic platform in the United States.
It had only been online for a week, and the exact situation was still unknown.
Lin Yue had reported to him before.
The music from the two music associations purchased by Zerun Technology was downloaded at a price of 99 cents per song.
99 cents for a song wasn't unacceptable to the Americans who had to spend money on everything.
After all, in the United States, even watching television programs had to be paid monthly.
He arrived at Zerun Technology.
Not long after, Sun Ting arrived at Li Ze's office.
"Director Li, you previously instructed me to ask the Shanghai officials about the application for land to build a headquarters building. Shanghai has just replied.”
"They said that there will be a few plots of land sold at the end of the year. At that time, our Zerun Holding Group can participate in the auction..."
"Shanghai didn't reveal the exact location of the few plots of land that will be sold at the end of the year?”
"I didn't specifically disclose this. I only said that the few plots of land are mainly in the Pudong New District." "The detailed location will only be revealed after some time…"
Li Ze nodded slightly."The plot of land in the Pudong New District…is fine." It was also suitable to take down the headquarters building.”
"However, since the auction will only be held at the end of the year, there's no hurry for now…" In the
afternoon, Li Ze came to Legend of Mir 2.
The main reason he came over was to ask Shen Qianru about the recruitment of personnel for Zerun Holding Group and Zerun Investment.
This time, Li Ze wanted to hire a CEO's assistant, a finance director, and an executive vice president for Zerun Investment.
Li Ze would personally interview these key personnel.
The interview was also scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow.
As for the other staff, such as the assistants and clerks of the CEO's office of Zerun Holding Group, he simply handed them over to Shen Qianru for interviews.
Those people would come to Zerun Holding Group for an interview in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.
Now that Li Ze had more and more companies and industries under his name, he really needed a team of assistants to assist him in his work.
In addition, he had just established a group company.
Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to set up the CEO's office.
"Director Li, these are the resumes of the candidates recommended by several headhunting companies. Please take a look first…"
Shen Qianru handed a document to Li Ze.
Li Ze hadn't had the time to look at it before.
After receiving the information, Li Ze roughly flipped through it. Basically, there were three to four candidates for each position.
As he was flipping through the resumes of those people, Li Ze was suddenly stunned. He frowned slightly and said,"This Mu Qinglan is a university graduate?”
"Which headhunter actually recommended such a person to apply for the position of general assistant? She had a bachelor's degree from Beijing University and a master's degree from Harvard Business School in America.”
"But I just graduated this year and only have some internship experience. I don't have any formal work experience yet. How could such a person be qualified to be the chief assistant?”
"The CEO Assistant of Zerun Holding Group is going to assist me in coordinating and managing all the subsidiary companies.”
"Her academic qualifications are high, and her universities are also the top universities in the country. However, she doesn't have any relevant work experience. Do you want me to teach her how to do it slowly and train her from scratch?”
Hearing Li Ze's words, Shen Qianru opened her mouth and asked tentatively,""President Li, then I…will inform her later that she doesn't have to come to the company for an interview the day after tomorrow?”
Li Ze thought for a moment and said,"Forget it. Since I already asked him to come for an interview, it's not good to ask him not to come now."”
"Anyway, it's just an interview.”
"Yes!"
Shen Qianru nodded and did not say anything else.
