Chapter 439: Still Evil
What happened to be broadcasting on TV was the brand advertisement of Swallowtail Butterfly. The background music played, and the outside picture of Buckingham Palace appeared. The sky was very dark, and a woman walked down the empty aisle, as if she was looking for something.
At this moment, a white subtitle appeared: "Woman, what are you looking for?"
A second and a half later, the subtitles switched, and four words with question marks appeared on the screen: "Freedom? Love? Confidence? Independence?"
The subtitles lasted for a little more than a second and faded away, and the picture brightened. A ray of sunlight hit the upper left corner of the screen and hit the woman's raised face. A smile appeared on the woman's cheeks, as if she had found the answer she was looking for.
The picture freezes on the woman's face, and suddenly, the picture switches, and the logo of the swallowtail butterfly appears in the center of the screen, and a line of English appears below the logo: "Swallowtail butterfly..."
"Self-respect, confidence and self-love, woman, be true to yourself! Adam, this ad is really good. Is the swallowtail butterfly a new summer model? Go over and have a look at it this weekend." After watching the ad, Catherine turned to Nan Yi and said, "Accompany me go, okay?"
Nanyi took the pad from the table on one side, took out a pen and drew a square frame the size of a bank card on it, wrote the three letters "VIP" in the upper left corner, and drew a very abstract The swallowtail butterfly Logo, and the name "Katherine Boleyn" is written in the lower right corner.
Pressing the nails to draw the lines of the box, Nan Yi pulled out the paper from the pad again, and then tore off the VIP card he had drawn.
"Here, from now on, you are the supreme VIP of Swallowtail Butterfly. You can call the specialty store and ask them to send you clothes for you to choose." Nan Yi stuffed the piece of paper into Catherine's collar, He patted her little face and said.
Seeing Nanyi's actions, Catherine's face turned cold, and she said angrily, "Adam, who do you think I am?" Then, she took out the VIP card and threw it at Nanyi's face. Yes, you just use this to fool me, you have no sincerity at all."
"You just call, it works."
"Swallowtail butterflies are your business?"
"Currently."
"Why 'at the moment'? It won't be yours anytime soon?" Catherine asked.
"Well, it should be sold in the future."
In the first two years since the establishment of Swallowtail Butterfly, Nanyi still actively participated in the affairs of Swallowtail Butterfly, but later on, he seldom participated, and Zheng Wenqi was in charge of it. Take care.
It's not that Nanyi doesn't care about his own industry, but that he has no concept of building a luxury brand and can't put forward any constructive suggestions for development.
Judging from the current development trajectory of Swallowtail Butterfly, it is unlikely to grow into a first-line luxury brand comparable to Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Instead, it is becoming more and more light luxury. The brands that Swallowtail Butterfly is competing with are ZARA and HM. , This is not what Nanyi wants.
Last month, Nanyi told Zheng Wenqi about the expansion model of "Sea Blue House" after reading the report of Swallowtail Butterfly. Soon, Swallowtail Butterfly will adjust its development thinking and shift towards rapid expansion.
Instead of developing any flagship store by itself, it adopts a franchise model free of franchise fees, and franchisees only need to hand over two 200,000 US dollars to Yanweidie.
The first 200,000 yuan is the decoration fee. The franchisee will hand over the money to Yanweidie, and then Yanweidie's decoration team will be responsible for the decoration. For this 200,000 yuan, Yanweidie will strive to make half of its own profit.
The second 200,000 is the deposit for clothes and goods, which can be refunded when the franchisee wants to quit one day.
It's really a refund, not just a gimmick.
However, for a regular large company, the process will be a little more cumbersome, and the process will take a little longer, about half a year, and the money will be returned to the franchisee.
After the store decoration is completed, Yanwei Butterfly will be responsible for the operation of the store, the delivery of goods, the recruitment of personnel and so on. To put it bluntly, the store is actually managed by the Swallowtail Butterfly Company, and the franchisee is responsible for the logistics, such as rent, water, electricity and property fees, and personnel wages.
Then, about 45% of the daily turnover is directly distributed to franchisees, and Yanweidie takes the remaining 55%, so that Yanweidie's stores can expand rapidly without spending their own money.
Then upstream, the Swallowtail Butterfly Factory and the Swallowtail Butterfly brand will separate and become two independent companies. Behind the Swallowtail Butterfly brand, there will be a small company with a registered capital of less than one million fully holding its shares. This is In order for the worst to happen, there is a firewall to ensure the safety of Nanshi Holdings.
Obviously, Swallowtail will definitely be listed in the future. To be listed, the equity must be clear. The spider web-type multi-layer cross-shareholding model of one holding one share is definitely not suitable for Swallowtail. It is very important to set up a firewall.
The swallowtail butterfly brand finds the swallowtail butterfly factory to produce clothing. The contract between the two parties will not adopt the deposit + final payment model, but will adopt the prepayment model. The swallowtail butterfly brand puts a deposit in the swallowtail butterfly factory. The amount of each order This deposit will not be exceeded, and if it is exceeded, the deposit will need to be increased.
Then, when the order is completed, the swallowtail butterfly brand needs to pay for the order immediately.
To put it simply, this is another story of borrowing the chicken to lay the egg. The swallowtail butterfly factory borrows the money and orders from the swallowtail butterfly brand to expand, and the two parties realize the transfer of benefits.
This is the early stage. In the later period, when the number of domestic garment factories increases and the private economy becomes more active, the Swallowtail Butterfly brand must have introduced other shareholders. Just continue; if you object, then the swallowtail butterfly factory will withdraw from the upstream supply chain of the swallowtail butterfly brand.
Regardless of whether the swallowtail butterfly factory will withdraw or not, the swallowtail butterfly brand will integrate the garment factory, make the garment factory its upstream supplier, kidnap the garment factory with long-term stable and large orders, and do not give a deposit. .
When a garment factory delivers a batch of goods, the Swallowtail Butterfly brand will only pay 20% to 30% of the payment to the garment factory, and the rest will be settled after the goods are sold. Well, we still have to go through the process.
In this way, when this model is in operation, the swallowtail butterfly brand will hold a large amount of cash for a long time and continue to grow. If there is spare money in hand, of course we must choose the safest way to increase value and continue to generate money from money.
What is the safest way to increase capital value?
Of course, it is to put the money in Nanguo Bank to earn interest. Nanguo Bank, the most trustworthy bank by users, is still responsible for leaving the cabinet. Moreover, every employee has a staff, and there are no temporary workers.
All employee behaviors represent the bank, and there is no such thing as individual employee behavior.
The Swallowtail Butterfly brand will become a tool to help Nanshi make money quickly, and when this model becomes exhausted, it will be cashed out.
"As far as I know, the swallowtail butterfly is developing well, why would you want to sell it?"
"It's not a simple sale, there will be very complicated operations. The account name is X, and the password is 197706. If you want to buy clothes, just report this account name. There are 100,000 dollars in it, and you can get a 30% discount."
"Not an unlimited card?"
"What are you thinking? I put in the $100,000 by myself. If you want to use it, use it quickly. I don't know when it will expire."
"You go with me." Catherine took Nan Yi's arm, shook it, and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll accompany you on the weekend."
Hey, Catherine put a scent on Nanyi's face and wrapped his arms tighter.
...
After spending the night at Boleyn Castle, Nan Yi and Masami Ueto returned to Downton Abbey. On the way back, the two stopped by the supermarket.
First, I visited the daily necessities area for half an hour, and then the food area.
The very beautiful beef and chicken wrapped in pieces in the freezer are not too expensive. You can buy a piece for tens of pennies. The price depends on the part of the meat. Nanyi went around and couldn't find pork, so he probably had to go to Juelu Street to buy it.
Vegetables are relatively expensive, and there are not many types, basically potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, and carrots.
There is not much room for choice. Nanyi tries his best to choose the ones that are not good in appearance, and he will get tens of pounds for each item. Potatoes are okay to eat occasionally, but he can’t bear it, and his bodyguards are also affected by it. no.
The greens, like the meat, were beautifully presented and matched their prices very well.
When he walked to the special offer area, Nan Yi frowned, and then laughed out loud. Carrots are on special offer. The original price is 65 pence a pound, and the current price is 2 pounds 3 pounds.
"Ha, it turns out that there is no exaggeration in the stories about the eagle countrymen who are not good at mathematics." Nanyi watched the two people take away a packaged bag each, and saw that the salesperson had come to add the goods, slandering, "I bought three pounds at a time, and it was 5 pence more expensive. I feel that these eagle countrymen still found it cheap. I don't know if I can buy it at the original price."
Nan Yi had heard a lot of jokes about people from the Eagle Country who were poor at mathematics. He had been in London for so long and hadn't been in contact with too many ordinary people from the Eagle Country. He hadn't verified this statement.
Nanyi put down a bag of carrots in his hand, and continued to walk forward empty-handed. Behind him, Ueto Masami pushed a shopping cart, and some of the bodyguards also pushed the shopping cart, and scattered to purchase the goods that should be purchased.
Suddenly, he stared at a man pushing a shopping cart, then stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Bernas asked with a glance at Nanyi.
"Hi, Mr. Li, I'm Adam. I'm very interested in the Enquire hypertext browser built by you and Mr. Robert Callio. I believe it will become a great invention."
"Thank you." Bernas first expressed his gratitude to Nan Yi for his affirmation, and then said, "Are you a computer major?"
"No, I'm just interested in the Internet, but I'm disgusted by its complicated connection methods and monotonous information display methods. I think hypertext can change its monotony and make the content more abundant. Easier to browse."
"Yes, I think hypertext can facilitate the sharing of information, and I will continue to study it to make it more powerful."
"Please work hard. If you need financial support, Mr. Li may as well call me, and I can provide sponsorship." Nanyi waved back, and asked Masami Ueto to take a business card and hand it to Berners.
"It may disappoint you. I don't have the idea of turning hypertext into commercial use." Bernas took a look at the business card and said.
"It's okay, I'm talking about sponsorship, not investment." Nanyi spread his hands and said.
Nanyi is already a little dissatisfied with the current communication methods, and he doesn't mind promoting the development of the Internet, so that the popularity of the Internet will be faster than the original track.
Berners said thank you again, Nan Yi humbly said, and quickly ended the conversation between the two. The occasion is not right, we can talk about it later when we meet again.
After buying things in the supermarket, Nan Yi went back to Downton Abbey.
The lawn outside the manor has been tidied up, and the mess left before cannot be seen.
