"Weiyang, everyone can't buy the goods now, and they're unwilling. What do you think we should do?"
Chen Yang looked at Zhang Weiyang with a half-smile. Meng Xiaofei beside him was completely stunned.
Her total sales in a month were less than what Chen Yang sold in an hour during an event. Not only that, but there were also thousands of people queuing outside waiting to buy.
Meng Xiaofei felt like she was dreaming!
When did business become so good?
Was it because Chen Yang was too good at business, or was she really too stupid?
"Use our old method."
"For those who come today and gather enough people, we will still promise discounts. We'll issue pre-sale orders, let them pay a partial deposit first, and then they can come back to pay the remaining balance once we replenish our stock."
"This way, we can earn a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness, and also securely secure this large order."
"An order of thousands of units is enough for us to work overtime and produce for a long time. Although the profit margin has decreased, with such a large volume of sales, we will still make money."
Zhang Weiyang looked at Chen Yang. They had used this tactic before.
Now that they were in Feishi, they could do it again!
"Just as I intended."
"Weiyang, you must remember that doing business requires flexibility, not rigidity."
"You don't necessarily have to achieve a certain profit to make money. Sometimes, a small profit and quick turnover is also a strategy."
"You go explain to everyone. Those who are willing to pay a deposit, we promise to replenish the goods within a month, at today's price. Those who queue earlier will get their goods first, and those who queue later will get them later."
Chen Yang arranged for Zhang Weiyang to explain to the customers. He had been talking for so long that his throat was almost parched.
"Xiao Meng, go downstairs and buy a few bottles of Beibingyang. You've all worked hard too. Have some soda to quench your thirst. Get me the iced ones."
Chen Yang took out a large banknote from his pocket and handed it to Meng Xiaofei. Even though he had a drawer full of money at this moment, he wouldn't touch the store's funds.
Public is public, and private is private. This is something that even the boss cannot blur.
For a company to grow, it must have strict rules and regulations. As the boss, Chen Yang must lead by example in adhering to them.
"Comrades, we also did not expect such enthusiasm from everyone. The nearly three hundred radios we prepared were sold out in an instant."
"The event was only supposed to last for today, but the boss and I discussed it just now. Since you all rushed here early in the morning and queued for so long, we can't let you wait in vain."
Zhang Weiyang held the tin megaphone. As he spoke, the customers in the queue immediately became excited.
"That's right, that's right. You can't make us run here for nothing. We came here overnight by pulling people!"
"If you don't have the goods, prepare them quickly."
Seeing how cooperative everyone was, Zhang Weiyang continued with the rest of his speech.
"Those who have queued today, we can supply you with goods at the discounted price, but we definitely won't be able to deliver the goods today."
"If you want them, you can pay a deposit first, and we will issue receipts. We will replenish the goods within a month."
"The price and quality assurance will be the same as for the customers who bought today. If you cannot receive your radio with the receipt within a month, we will compensate you double the deposit you paid."
Zhang Weiyang shouted. Upon hearing his words, many people began to whisper amongst themselves.
After all, paying money before receiving the goods was unheard of these days.
"How much is the deposit?"
"If we give you money, what if you run away?"
Someone immediately raised questions, which was understandable. The cost of a radio was not a small amount.
Even the cheapest ones at thirty yuan each, after a 30% discount, would cost twenty-one yuan, which was equivalent to many people's monthly salary.
"The deposit can be one-third of the price of the radio you want. As for us running away, you don't need to worry about that at all."
"Our Meng He radio has been featured in the Anhui Provincial Daily. Where we live, the country knows everything. Nowadays, you can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction."
"With that, are you still afraid we'll abscond with the money?"
"Besides, we are legitimate business people, not swindlers. The Anhui Provincial Daily wouldn't lie to us."
Zhang Weiyang handled the doubts with ease. Not to mention anything else, bringing up the golden signboard of the Anhui Provincial Daily was enough to make anyone believe him.
"Comrades, I am a reporter from the Anhui Provincial Daily, and what this comrade said is true."
"I heard from comrades who went to cover Qinghe City that the Meng He radio in Qinghe City previously did something similar, where customers paid a deposit before receiving the goods."
"We also interviewed a customer who came to pick up the radio with a receipt at that time. The quality was indeed the same."
Just then, a middle-aged man in a polyester shirt and glasses stepped forward.
Zhang Weiyang didn't expect to run into a reporter. Seeing him speak up for him, Zhang Weiyang increased his promotional efforts even more.
"As you can see, we have a reporter from the Anhui Provincial Daily here. Our Meng He radio values integrity."
"If you are still not at ease, you can wait for us to prepare the goods. However, you will not be able to enjoy today's group-buying discount. The decision is yours."
"Now, comrades who wish to order, please continue to queue here, choose your price range, pay the deposit, and we will issue receipts with our official seal."
"We will issue serial numbers. According to the queuing order, the first 50 people will be given five days to prepare the goods. Those who queue after the first 50 will be on the sixth day. For those between 50 and 100, it will be the seventh day, and so on."
As Zhang Weiyang spoke, many people immediately came forward to pay and place their orders.
Of course, some people still felt it was unreliable and decided to wait until the goods were available to buy.
"Boss Zhang, can we interview you?"
Just then, the reporter who had spoken earlier, holding his camera and notebook around his neck, ran over.
Zheng Qiusheng had come to queue because he saw the bustling scene and wanted to understand what was happening.
While queuing, he had already grasped the entire situation and taken a few photos.
If he could interview the boss of Meng He radio now, it would be even better.
"Our boss is in the back. If you want an interview, go interview him."
Zhang Weiyang glanced at Chen Yang, who was leisurely drinking the iced Beibingyang bought by Meng Xiaofei. The last time a reporter wanted to interview Chen Yang, they couldn't, and could only interview him.
This time, with the real boss, Chen Yang, present, he naturally wouldn't steal the spotlight.
Upon hearing Zhang Weiyang say that the boss was in the back, Zheng Qiusheng's eyes lit up even more.
Everyone had heard from the Qinghe City Administration for Industry and Commerce that the boss of Meng He radio was a sent-down youth. However, his colleague had gone there last time and missed the opportunity to interview him.
Even so, that report had been reprinted by countless provinces. If he could interview the true boss of Meng He radio this time, coupled with the sensational scene of thousands of people queuing to buy radios.
Zheng Qiusheng had a strong premonition that his report would be a huge success this time, and he, an old man who had been unknown in the newspaper for over twenty years, would become famous!
