Chapter 249 Grinding the Sickle

Chapter 249 Grinding the Sickle

"The old marketing methods in the past can no longer keep up with this era. We can't just send a few advertising papers and wait for customers to call.

We must take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to find prey. But looking for prey is not blindly looking, you must have a strategy.

I will not talk about the specific strategy. I will first talk about internal reorganization, potential exploration, supporting upgrades, and product update iterations.

1. Changes in the company structure.

The structure of the company will be changed, and will be divided into three major departments: sales, after-sales, and warehousing, with two small departments of personnel and finance.

The sales department is divided into four sub-departments: telephone sales, building sweeping, area sweeping, and TV sales. I don’t need to explain more about telephone sales, and you should understand. I will focus on the other three departments.

Building sweeping is a door-to-door sales promotion specifically for office buildings and other office spaces. Of course, the sales are not specific products, but our e-buy company and our e-goo sales platform.

I will explain to you later how to settle the commission without selling specific products, so I will continue to talk about it first.

Sweeping districts means going to residential areas to sell.

TV sales, I will not talk about this, you can go to the HSN TV shopping network after you get home from work, and take a look at their model, I will give you three days, and after three days, each of you will submit a report on e-buy How to Launch a Feasibility Report for TV Sales.

Listen, please pay attention to this report, it is related to changes in your positions and salaries, and will directly affect whether you can get management shares in the company in the near future.

..."

Nanyi explained the responsibilities and importance of each department, and then said: "I already have a plan to replace the new product, but I will not say it for the time being. I still need everyone to take the initiative and write a report on the replacement. New product report.

In the report, I want to see what new products you suggest to replace and why.

In three days, you have to submit two reports, and our meeting will be postponed to three days before continuing.

For the next work today, everyone will clean the office building together, then go to the warehouse to check the backlog of inventory, pick and choose, pick out the defective products, and then make a list.

When these two things are done, you can leave work. You don’t have to come here tomorrow morning. You can bring your family to the barbecue party at five o’clock in the afternoon.

By the way, Elson, I would like to inform everyone that if you want to resign, you can hand in your resignation letter when you get your salary, and you can pack up your things with your salary and leave. "

After Nanyi finished speaking, he said to Nan Ruofing: "Chairman Rachel, can we adjourn the meeting now?"

"Spielberg's "ET" is still in theaters. You can watch it with your family tonight or tomorrow, and the movie tickets can be reimbursed by the company. Now, let's end the meeting."

The others went out, but Nanyi and Nan Ruofing still stayed in the conference room.

"That last sentence about the movie is a good one, are you making a pun?"

"Yes, Dad, I want to watch it with you too."

"Okay, I'll go with you tonight. However, you also have an important job to do now. After the inventory is counted, you have to sell the inventory and get some money back."

"To whom, to other mail-order companies?"

"Yes, you don't need to ask me about the rest, go to Elson to discuss."

"oh."

Nan Ruofing nodded, walked out of the meeting room and went to Elson.

Restricted by the carrier of product display, it is impossible for e-buy to operate too many products, which also prevents many marketing theories and marketing methods from being applied mechanically, and also limits the ceiling of e-buy.

Direct selling is a model that Nanyi hates very much, and he will naturally not lead Yibuy to the way of Amway, which further limits the range of products available for selection.

Nan Yi opened a newspaper, drew a frame on it, and roughly estimated how many products would fit on the front and back of a two-page advertising paper.

After drawing two pictures and taking out two typeset plans, Nanyi gave up.

The main thing is that his sketches can't go on anymore, and he can still comment on the finished product, so let's rest on the sketches. He still doesn't work well when he draws pictures. It's better to find a professional layout designer to come up with a few sets of layout plans.

"Layout design, I don't know whether Adobe has been established or not, and how much the market value has done..."

Nan Yi rubbed his temples and recalled. It took him a long time before he was vaguely sure that Adobe had reached a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, which seemed to be more than two thousand dollars. He really couldn't remember the exact amount.

The last version of the used Fireworks titled Macromedia was MX 2004, and later changed to Adobe, which should have been acquired by Adobe in 2005 or 2006.

At that time, I remembered that Macromedia was established in the early 1980s, and Adobe was established earlier than it was established, so Adobe is estimated to have been established or will be established soon.

Which city is the company based in?

Excluding San Francisco, Silicon Valley has been there by myself, and if it is there, I must have an impression.

Damn it, I have been to China several times in my previous life, so why do I only know how to go to Hollywood and run around these technology companies?

Nan Yi paralyzed there desperately remembering, only remembering that the founder of Adobe left from Xerox.

"By the way, the name Adobe seems to have an allusion. It comes from the name of a certain scenic spot not far from their company." Nan Yi suddenly patted his head and said to himself.

I stayed at Xerox, and most of them were engaged in work related to "page description language". Coupled with the allusion of the name, I should be able to find out this company.

I found a phone and called Rachel, and asked her to help me get a list of Xerox researchers on page description languages; I also called Uedo Masami, and asked her to go to the New York Library to search for all place names named Adobe, Landscape name.

After Adobe's episode ended, Nan Yi left e-buy, and Nan Ruofing let her stay. The new boss left early on the first day of work.

Age is a joke for others, and the attitude cannot be more frivolous. We must let the employees know that we are serious about being a company.

It's still Romantic Flame restaurant. Nan Yi likes the French foie gras here, so he invited Scarlett here.

As soon as Scarlett came, she looked at the whole restaurant, "Adam, you have good taste."

"You praised me, but I didn't find this place. Last time I met a lawyer, he recommended it."

"It's understandable. You are a person without romantic genes. It seems that I have no chance to enjoy the candlelight dinner."

"Haha, don't underestimate me, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist me if I really wave."

"Really?" Scarlett looked at Nanyi playfully, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are taking calcium supplements, and you speak so hard? How about tonight?"

Nan Yi said with a straight face: "The life of a yo-yo is limited, it needs regular maintenance, otherwise, it will age quickly."

"Adam, I have always regarded you as a warrior, but I didn't expect...you let me down."

"Please let me go." Nanyi shamelessly begged for mercy.

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, I just want you to recognize yourself and stop thinking about Monroe, Hepburn, Elena, What ever!"

In Scarlett's words, Nan Yi not only heard the ridicule, but also the ridicule.

To translate this sentence according to the artistic conception, it is "You have no eggs, you can't feed your mother alone, so don't worry about the outsiders."

For a man, this is a great humiliation, but Nanyi is powerless to refute.

In the dead of night, when "I want to" was said for the ninth time, no man's calf would not shiver.

One joy, two joys, three persistence, four shakes, five wastes, six desires to escape, seven coughs, eight vomits, and nine return to the soil.

"Look, this restaurant is full of fiery red. This color is more suitable for career. Let's not talk about boring topics, let's talk about career, our common great cause."

"I don't want it anymore. I'm going to change my name to Eve, Eve and Adam. Don't you think this would be a better match?" Scarlett was chasing after her fiercely, and she didn't have the wisdom to chase after others.

"What a coincidence, I also plan to change my English name, how about my name being Benjamin?"

"Hahaha!"

Scarlett laughed presumptuously, leaning forward and backward with waves flying, her face full of complacency.

Nan Yi pinched the stopwatch and pressed it when Scarlett stopped laughing at the last time, 56 seconds 38, hey, look, it made her happy.

After the music was over, Scarlet put away the presumptuousness, "Okay, we can talk about our career."

"I want to put Pan Am Holdings in your name."

"Because of your skin color?"

Scarlett grasped the root of the problem very keenly.

"Yes."

"Yes, as long as you promise me one condition."

"You don't need to say, it depends on whether he has the qualifications in the future. If he has, not only Pan Am, but everything including Nan's will be his."

As a mother, you are still young. You don’t know where the child is yet, and now you are ready to pave the way.

"That's no problem, I have confidence in him. Adam, you're going to be a father soon." Scarlett said with a motherly brilliance.

"You treat me like an idiot, it's only been a few days."

"No, I have a hunch that she must be pregnant. I dreamed about him last night."

"What did he tell you?"

"Didn't speak, just looked at me so quietly, full of attachment to me."

"How about I accompany you to see a psychiatrist?"

"I'm mentally fine, I really dreamed about him."

"Okay, then next time you dream about him, ask him which name he likes."

"I will ask, and I think his answer must be Adam, Adam II Taylor South."

"Why add Taylor, you will soon become Scarlett South yourself."

Scarlett gave Nan Yi a white look, "Of course my child will inherit my property. Part of my property comes from the Cox family, so he will naturally bear the mark of the Cox family. Isn't that what you want?"

"Well, you have the final say." Nanyi shrugged and said: "You order, I'll go to the bathroom, don't forget to order foie gras."

After Nan Yi untied his hand and came out, Scarlett had already ordered the meal. As soon as he sat down, Scarlett said, "I've already placed an eye on a piece of land in Long Island, and I'll buy it in the next two days."

"Understood, I'll ask someone to deposit money into your account tomorrow."

"I've already approached the designer and told him my idea. They told me to proceed according to my idea. The budget is at least 17 million, and you have to give me an extra 500,000."

"How long will the construction period be?" Nan Yi rubbed his chin and asked.

"Two years."

"Let me pay all the money. I will give you 8 million first, and I will call you the rest according to the schedule."

"No, that's our common home. No matter what it is, we have to share it with each other." Scarlett said firmly.

"Okay, then I will give you 4 million first, and you will tell me when the rest will be."

"Is there an investment plan?"

"Well, the real estate market in Hong Kong is going down, and there will be opportunities to buy bottoms soon. I personally plan to hold some real estate and wait for the appreciation."

"OK, then you don't need to give me your money for the time being, and give me 17 million together in two years. Is two years enough?"

"Enough, I can leverage. However, you can't get so much, I can guarantee that your funds will double, but I will charge 30% commission."

"If you think well, I will give you 15% at most, and I will give you another five points for management fees."

"25%."

"make a deal."

"Speaking of business, I need you to come forward to buy a Wall Street fund, bankrupt or empty, as long as they have a registered investment advisor license [Ria]."

"Why do you buy it? Why don't you just register one yourself?"

"Register yourself, then you go to apply for Ria, and then take the Series65 and Series66 exams?"

"It's not difficult, just go."

"Hehe, this is actually a secondary issue. The main reason is that I want to see if there are any bargains to buy. It's okay to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire a fund with an original fund management scale of tens of millions. Even if it has debts and its reputation has been damaged, it's okay .”

"Adam, are you eyeing the funds managed by the fund? But since it is about to go bankrupt, the client's funds will definitely be returned, and it is possible that when I go to buy it, it will already be in the process."

"Yes, I'm just eyeing the client's funds. It's fine during the process. As long as the funds have not been returned, there is room for recovery. If the clients who hated it so much turn to praise it, you say, Will the reputation of the fund turn around soon?"

"It should be, but are you sure? I don't understand finance, so I can only be a mascot for you."

"Who dares to say that there is absolute certainty? I can only say that I have confidence. Of course, if things go in a bad direction, I can only admit my losses and preserve your reputation. Scarlett, you have to have confidence in me , when we first met, my career was just getting started.

More than five years ago, my entire net worth was only RMB 1.25, and I was still in college for nearly three and a half years. "

"So, how much assets do you have now?"

"Hehe, it's not much, it's not much, I don't care if you borrow money."

Scarlett rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Coincidentally, their food also started to be served, and the two simply shut up for the time being.

Scarlett tasted her steak and muttered, "It's very ordinary, nothing special."

"I just love their foie gras, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad. Next time, will you take me to see what is a good steak?"

"Hmm, I know that there is a steakhouse that does a good job, so go tomorrow?"

"Can."

Nan Yi and the two left after eating, and Leng Yan happened to come to change shifts again, and also saw Nan Yi straight through the glass.

"Aren't Nanshan and Zhenshan together?" Looking at Scarlett, Leng Yan muttered.

Then, her eyes brightened!
