City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 85

Guangqi·Baolong 4S store has already been connected with Baolong Company. At night, the sales reports of 4S stores from all over the country flew over like snowflakes.

The entire sales department, from the manager to the statistician, is busy.

Today is the day when Baolong Electric A8 goes on sale, and the whole company is looking forward to the first day of sales.

After more than two hours of communication and compilation, a first-day sales report was placed on the desk of the sales manager.

The sales manager did not stop for a moment, looking at the numbers on the sales report, while trotting to the general manager’s conference room.

At this moment, Lin Fan and the company executives are waiting for the report in his hand.

“Mr. Lin, good news…”

“Dear managers, good news…”

The conference room is luxuriously decorated and has very good sound insulation.

But still can’t isolate the voice of the sales manager who is rushing over.

“How many?”

“Hurry up!”

The moment the sales manager opened the door, the managers all asked eagerly.

The sales manager walked to Lin Fan’s side and reported excitedly.

“Comfort A8, 916 units…”

“Premium A8, 648 units…”

“Deluxe A8, 561…”

“The three models sold a total of 2,125 units…”

“Baolong Electric A8’s first-day sales totaled 3.3 billion…”

“Throwing away the cost and Guangqi’s 10% share, the gross profit exceeds 1.3 billion…”

I heard that the sales manager finished the report.

Lin Fan was stunned on the spot!

Everyone in the conference room was dumbfounded!

“Oh my god, I make 1.3 billion a day. It’s like picking up money.”

“I’ll give it a go. I knew that this way, we should get a D-class luxury car first.”

“Yes, D-class luxury cars are too profitable. A8 earns more in a day than A4 in a month.”

Listening to the excitement of the crowd, Lin Fan felt very comfortable in his heart. He felt that he should pretend to be forced at this time.

So he said lightly: “Hey, compared to Acura’s 2,200 vehicles a day, there is still a big gap.”

Pan Qiang smiled: “Mr. Lin, our sales volume is real. As for how much water Acura has, we don’t know.”

Liu Meimei said: “In any case, the sales volume on the first day exceeded 2,000, which has already broken the records held by the old brands of DE and BMW.”

Liu Hong also excitedly said: “Yes, Lin, it is their business to make Acura sell how much, but the result of our 753 is really exciting for the whole company.”

Chen Huiyi smiled and asked, “Mr. Lin, do you want to announce such a gratifying result in the media?”Before Lin Fan could speak, the managers spoke.

“That must be announced. Let those foreign car companies see that our Tianchao, our Baolong can also create a miracle in the D-class luxury car market.”

“Yes, let the people of the celestial dynasty see that the D-class luxury cars made by our Baolong are the real kings, and they can slap those second-tier luxury car brands.”

“As for Lin’s statement that Acura sells 2,200 vehicles in a single day, we don’t believe it, nor do other old car companies, but the people don’t know it. We will use this opportunity to expose their lies.”

Lin Fan nodded: “Then send the sales volume in our sales report to Zhang Yuan from Pingche.com, I think he knows what we mean.”

Chen Huiyi got up and said, “Okay, President Lin, I will contact Zhang Yuan now.”

After a while of excitement, Lin Fan looked at the sales manager and asked, “By the way, does this news tell our spare parts suppliers?”

“Ah, I haven’t thought about telling them that.”

“We must tell them, because the success of A8 is inseparable from their hard work, telling them this result is equivalent to telling them that following us, Baolong has meat, and they will take more seriously to do what we need. Spare parts.”

“Okay President Lin, I will announce them one by one tomorrow morning.”

“Don’t wait for tomorrow, you and your colleagues will work hard tonight, and you will announce to them now. I think they are also waiting for our first day sales results.”

“Yes, President Lin, I will go now.”

Just as Lin Fan thought, the owners of the manufacturers who provide spare parts to the A8 are now waiting eagerly for the first day of sales of the A8.

You know, Baolong Electric A8 is a D-class luxury car. Unlike low-end models, each part requires more than one grade. Of course, the profit margin is also quite large.

But this is not the point.

The spare parts suppliers are also divided into three or six or nine categories.

Is producing parts for copycat mobile phones the same as providing spare energy for fruit mobile phones?

The same applies to the automotive industry. The ability to provide parts and accessories for high-end luxury cars will also greatly promote the popularity and status of these parts manufacturers.

With the identity of providing spare parts for high-end luxury cars, when accepting orders from other brands in the future, they have the confidence to speak, and they will also be taken into consideration.

This virtually enhanced the market competitiveness of these spare parts manufacturers.

Therefore, these spare parts manufacturers also expect the Baolong Electric A8 to be sold at a great price.

Sure enough, when these spare parts suppliers received the first-day sales information from Baolong, they all jumped with excitement.

They called Lin Fan one after another to congratulate A8 on its continued hot sales, but also praised Lin Fan’s genius and the strong rise of Baolong. At the same time, they strengthened their determination to hold this thigh tightly.

……

Early the next morning, a piece of exciting news appeared on the homepage of Pingche.com.

[Baolong Electric A8 was launched in shock, with sales exceeding 2,000 units on the first day. 】

Below the title, besides the sales report provided by Baolong, there is also a long talk edited by Zhang Yuan.

“The D-class luxury car with completely independent intellectual property rights and the Baolong electric A8 are a blockbuster, breaking the single-day sales records of brands such as Dexi and BMW.

In just six months, Baolong has grown from a small company that relies on Mitsubishi powertrain technology to produce vans and has become a Chinese auto company that can compete with foreign automakers.

Starting from the development of the total electric technology that shocked the world, Baolong electric MPV swept the micro-facet market, Baolong electric A4 dominated the B-class car market, and then Baolong electric A8 broke the daily sales record of D-class luxury cars.

All this proves to the world that domestically-made cars do not lose to any foreign car company. Baolong will continue to bring us more models at an unstoppable pace and create a more brilliant tomorrow for the national auto industry.. .”

As soon as this news came out, it first caused an uproar on the car evaluation website.

Then it was reprinted by other car media and major news platforms, and it spread like a hurricane.

“Fuck, fuck, I’m so excited to see this news.”

“2000 D-class luxury cars are sold every day. This f*ck has to go to heaven.”

“Really or not, they said that they sold 2,200 cars a day two days ago.”

“The one upstairs can see clearly, there are pictures and the truth. I doubt the authenticity of the 2,200 Acura.”

“I don’t care how much Acura sells every day, I only saw the A8 break through 2000 on the first day, that’s enough.”

“We have our own brand of electric cars and high-end luxury cars, enough for me to play for a year.”

……

Beijing, the headquarters of Acura Tianchao District.

Faced with the sales of Baolong electric A8 over 2000 units on the first day, which truly broke the daily sales record of luxury cars such as the series and BMW, Jinnan Tanaka directly exploded.

The meeting room was deadly silent, and the high-level officials were all buried in their heads, afraid to speak out, afraid to look at the face of Jinnan Tanaka, and even afraid to be touched at this time.

“Bagaya Road, can any of you tell me how could this happen?”

“We have invested such a huge resource in publicity, why can’t sales rise?”

“Our sales volume yesterday turned out to be less than 300. Can anyone tell me what is the reason for this?”

Tanaka Jintian threw the sales report on the table fiercely. As the meeting room was too quiet, his roar provoked an echo.

In the face of Tanaka’s violent rage, everyone dared to talk to each other, but they were shouting in their hearts.

Omni-channel advertising bombing with no dead ends by sea, land and air.

Please come to Zhou Tianwang’s national tour for the super high endorsement fee.

Spend huge sums of money to name the most popular reality show nowadays.

More than two billion smashed in, none of them achieved the desired effect.

Now, you come to ask me why, where do I know when I step on a horse?

I really want to talk about the reason, it’s all because of your old man who got caught in the other party’s tricks, and what he is doing in the Acura vs. Baolong electric A8.

I thought I was right. When the Finance Minister of the Sun Kingdom came to attend the Asian Economic Forum, he would take the Acura for the whole journey. Don’t you know that this is hurting the self-esteem of the people of the celestial dynasty?

Of course, they dare not say these words. They all know Tanaka’s position in Honda.

After a long time, Ken Tanaka saw that no one spoke up, so he had to deal with it by himself. He recalled the passage of this period of time.

Suddenly the old eyes brightened: “In order to make Acura achieve better results, I have tried my best, but they are not enterprising, they are only profitable, and they did not cooperate with our publicity for sales.”

Ken Tanaka blamed the dealer at Acura’s fourth son store for the dismal sales.

The marketing manager saw that the old man had aimed at his responsibility and had to respond: “Mr. Tanaka, we have strengthened the supervision of the fourth son store below.

I asked them to carry out discount promotions on all their products, especially the three Acura models that made a ten-point concession sale, which is the biggest discount that can be given. ”

Tanaka slapped the table fiercely and roared: “Baga! Is this all your marketing methods? What else would you do besides letting them sell at a discount?”

The marketing manager yelled at Jinnan Tanaka, and he was so scared that he dared not speak anymore.

Jinnan Tanaka was completely angry: “It’s all the people who didn’t work hard enough to show Acura’s selling points and advantages to consumers who bought cars.

Tell me immediately, and give each Acura’s fourth son store a sales task. The monthly sales volume of first-tier dealers is 60, and the monthly sales volume of second-tier dealers is 40.

If you can’t do it, don’t want sales rebates, and quarterly deposit returns will not be issued. Pressure must be put on them so that they will be motivated and sell cars seriously. “Upon hearing this decision, the high-level people on the scene looked at each other, and secretly squeezed sweat for the old man in their hearts.

You are digging your own grave. In this situation, doesn’t anyone know what to say?

If a dealer can complete this sales, Laozi will live broadcast the car.

However, Tanaka was on the fire, and no one dared to say anything.

Had to bite the bullet and follow the instructions of the old man.

Sales rebates are actually a reward mechanism. The more cars a dealer sells, the more rewards they get.

The quarterly deposit return is the security deposit paid by the dealer and when the authorization is obtained from the manufacturer.

If the dealer does not violate the requirements of the manufacturer during the operation process, the deposit will be returned quarterly.

Now, this quarter’s deposit refund mechanism has been used by Tanaka as a bargaining chip for threats.

This will undoubtedly bring huge dissatisfaction to those dealer bosses who are already overwhelmed by high inventory, and it is also the last straw that forces dealer bosses to resist.

At the beginning, the stocks changed from three to five for each model, and then from five to ten, but the sales volume did not change much, even lower than before.

Whoever does business doesn’t want to make money, especially after investing so much money, they are all rushing to make a lot of money.

If the car can’t be sold, it can’t make any money, it has a lot of inventory, and now it doesn’t return the deposit, who is not hot.

But Acura is a big company. When it got the authorization, it also signed the Overlord contract, and the fire was useless.

If you come to ask someone to make a theory, they don’t want to kill you at all, and there is no way to sue him. The contract is clearly written.

The dealer bosses all understand these principles, but these dealers are at least tens of millions of big bosses, how can they swallow this breath.

Seeing the time passing day by day, there was no improvement in sales, and the bosses broke out.

The owner’s office in the Acura Fourth Son store in Hangzhou is filled with smoke and gloomy clouds.

The boss Hernan invited several bosses who are also agents of Acura brand cars to discuss countermeasures.

“This business can’t be done. The daily sales are there. I thought it was only me who couldn’t sell it.”

“Brother Nan, Hangzhou is better for you. It’s a big city, and you can sell a few cars. I haven’t been mad for a few days.”

“Hey, Brother Li, I’m not afraid to talk to you. I opened this shop. It looks beautiful on the surface, but I haven’t made any money in fact.”

“Who isn’t it, Laozi’s all the family assets have been pushed into the stocking inventory, and even the staff’s salary is almost impossible to send out.”

“So, today I will ask a few brothers to come and think of a solution. Let’s go to the headquarters to talk together. It won’t work like this.”

“What to talk about, I heard from a friend who works at Acura’s headquarters, that the old turtle in Tanaka is like a mad dog now, who catches and bites whom.”

“Yeah, even if we ask more people to go, it won’t help. The old turtle will eat us.”

“Yes, I let the lawyers read the contract. They do have the right to seize our security deposit.”

“What should we do, let the little turtle treat us as grandsons and let them deduct our money?”

The bosses are getting more and more angry, but the little turtles do nothing, and they are all clear.

Even if you go to the Acura headquarters, it’s useless, maybe it will end up in the name of disrupting public order.

Discuss to discuss, except for anger, no one has come up with a good way.

The promoter Hernan smoked a few puffs and then threw the cigarette butts into the ashtray.

He stood up fiercely, his eyes were blood red, and he said viciously: “You are not kind to the little turtle, don’t blame Laozi for being unrighteous, this shop, Laozi won’t open…”.
