Chapter 1170 Just Wait and See, You Will Have to Beg Us in the End!
Tan Bin is the general manager of Xinghua Bookstore, so he can't just focus on such a thing, nor can he not do his job because he is worried about it, otherwise it will cause chaos.
And if he slacked off at work because of this, even if Yin Jun didn't come to trouble him, he would be sued because of his frequent mistakes, and finally leave sadly.
Don't doubt it.
Even in today's relatively simple society, when it comes to official positions and positions, it is really not pure at all.
The worker at the bottom has nothing to fear, because his position is already his bottom line, and no matter how low he is, he can't get any lower.
But the higher you go, the better the scenery becomes and the more rights and benefits you enjoy, so more people want to climb up and enjoy it too.
What if someone else occupies this position?
Very simple!
Just ask him to move away!
This is the most basic reason for various power disputes and struggles in the past dynasties.
Therefore, no matter when, Tan Bin tells himself that he must do his job well, so that he can have the confidence to persevere in various difficulties.
However, Tan Bin did not take it lightly. He handed over the matter about Qilin Records to his assistant, a trustworthy assistant, and asked him to check and keep an eye on what was going on.
Just today, Tang Hongxing, the deputy general manager of Xinghua Bookstore in charge of marketing, brought one of his subordinates to Tan Bin's office.
Of course, the subordinates who can enter Tan Bin's office will not be ordinary employees, but Zheng Guohuai, the manager of the record department.
Zheng Guohuai was not a person who studied abroad, but he graduated from Alto, a serious college student, and then worked in the record company for several years before coming to Xinghua Bookstore and starting from the record department. The assistant manager started, and now he is the manager.
On the alto side, in fact, like Chinese Opera, Beijing Film and Shanghai Opera, people can watch the latest movies from various countries, and their alto can also listen to music from all over the world, including Baodao and Xiangjiang - this is called research Art is not anti-x.
With such a profound artistic accomplishment, Zheng Guohuai naturally worked very hard in the Xinghua Bookstore system. In the past four years of reform, reform and opening up, the sales of Xinghua Bookstore’s vinyl records, music tapes, etc. have continued to increase. Well, he can already occupy two large counters on average, which is inseparable from his hard work.
Tan Bin was dealing with things. When he saw the two of them coming, he frowned.
"Sit down, what's the matter?" Tan Bin put down his pen and asked directly.
Tan Bin's style is straightforward, so Tang Hongxing and Zheng Guohuai didn't feel uncomfortable.
However, Tang Hongxing did not sit down. As Tan Bin's most trusted person, he knew that Tan Bin's family was Lao xx. Tan Bin had received a military education since he was a child, and he liked people who were capable and quick-witted, including those who were in Tan Bin's family. In front of someone, it's better to stand upright and reply instead of sitting down on a chair and talking.
Tang Hongxing has met many people who were not reused in the end just because Tan Bin was so probing at the beginning and did not pay attention.
Although Tan Bin was not testing him at this moment, but trusted Tang Hongxing very much, so he was a little more polite, Tang Hongxing could not lose his sense of proportion because of this.
So he stood as straight as before and spoke, "Mr. Tan, we have learned clearly about the movements of Qilin Records. Xiao Zheng went to investigate this matter specifically. He knows best, so let him talk to you. Tell me."
Zheng Guohuai was also standing. It happened that he was also the one who had withstood Tan Bin's test, so he was able to serve as the deputy manager as soon as he came over.
"Mr. Tan, Qilin Records is not simple!" Zheng Guohuai said with emotion as soon as he came up: "After they were repeatedly rejected by us in March and April, they had new ideas. Especially after Yin Jun went to Lin'an, They agreed with Huo Jianning’s strategy, so they planned to bypass our Xinghua Bookstore and sell music tapes themselves.”
"Bypass us?" Tan Bin laughed dumbly, "In this country, who can compare with our Xinghua Bookstore? If he doesn't sell it to Xinghua Bookstore, how many hundreds of music tapes can he sell? 1 Ten thousand? 100,000? Can it still sell 1 million boxes?"
Zheng Guohuai did not follow Tan Bin's words. He continued: "I still have many acquaintances in the record industry. So I found a few friends and found out that the current strategy of Kirin Records is to divide it into two. First, don't they have their own cassette recorder sales points in large and medium-sized cities across the country? Now they are going to decorate the sales points with several counters to sell their music tapes.
Second, aren’t there scattered record shops in today’s society? It is said that Kirin Records has contacted them and offered very good conditions. These scattered record shops are interested in cooperating with Kirin Records. Especially after they listened to the music tapes of Kirin Records, many of them have already signed contracts! "
Tan Bin looked relaxed just now, but now he frowned again and turned to Tang Hongxing, "Xiao Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Hongxing also had some considerations, "There are almost 50 Kirin cassette player stores in total. According to this number, of course they can't compare with us. But they also have their own huge advantage, that is, others will definitely have to pay more to buy cassette players." When you go to their home, you can see a dazzling array of music tapes. There must be many people buying some tapes.
Considering that the people who buy cassette players have their own friends and small circles, after they buy music tapes and play them for everyone, they will be very attractive to their friends. It is very possible that this will boost the sales of music tapes and cassette players. For the Kirin Group, this is a good deal that kills two birds with one stone.
In addition, in terms of total sales volume, they actually have many advantages. After all, although China is so big and has such a large population, 90% of its wealth and wealthy people are concentrated in cities. Especially these medium and large cities are almost the essence of China's economy. They happen to sell music tapes in these prime areas, and their sales will definitely not be bad. "
At this point, Tang Hongxing saw that Tan Bin's face looked ugly, but he had to say the previous words.
Because although Tan Bin hates people who think differently than he does, he hates people even more who are submissive and can't do anything serious.
Therefore, Tang Hongxing must express his judgment, so as to give Tan Bin a reference for handling the matter.
Tan Bin pondered for a while, then looked at the two of them and smiled: "Then do you think they can succeed in doing this?"
"I can't tell clearly." Tang Hongxing replied, "Judging from Yin Jun's methods and Huo Jianning's methods, they must have considered this. But I also have a question, what is Xiangjiang doing? Whether it will be successful in our mainland, and whether it will be acclimatized to the local conditions, we need to see more to know."
Tan Bin smiled and said, "You've got to the point. Don't look at how Yin Jun makes a fuss in Xiangjiang and how he is called a genius. Here in the mainland, you have to follow our rules! The facades of just fifty houses, In addition, there are only one or two hundred small record shops in big cities. What kind of scale is this? Compared with the scale of our Xinghua Bookstore, which has thousands of stores, it is not worth mentioning at all!
In addition, they also overestimate people's spending power today. Even I feel pain if I buy a few music tapes a month, let alone those young people whose salary is only 50 or 60 RMB! Yin Jun brought more than 800 records to the mainland! Oops! What a big ambition! Does he think mainlanders are as rich as people from Hong Kong?
He thought that our people selected more than 20 records in the first batch to sell on the counter to humiliate him and embarrass him? fart! How do Chinese people have such strong spending power now? Over 800 records? You might as well let him sell music tapes on half the counters of our Xinghua Bookstore! So are we still doing business? "
What Tan Bin said made sense, and both Tang Hongxing and Zheng Guohuai nodded.
"But general manager, their prices are also cheap." Zheng Guohuai reminded, "The tapes they put on the counter only cost 3 yuan a tape, which is 2 yuan cheaper than our lowest price. And for those The music tapes sold by people in record stores and Kirin Records all have a 3 yuan per disc logo printed on the cover, and those record stores can only sell them for 3 yuan per disc.”
"Don't worry about it." Tan Bin waved his hand, "As I said before, Chinese people can't afford many tapes, and they can't sell a few tapes no matter how cheap they are. Besides, his pricing is so low, and the cost and profit for dealers are Also, how much money can he make? It won’t be long before they find out that this road is dead!”
"When the time comes, will they have to come back and beg us again?" Zheng Guohuai said with a smile.
"Definitely!" Tan Bin snorted coldly, "As long as these people can make money, what else do they need to lose face?"
"Then..." Zheng Guohuai said, "Our conditions remain the same?"
Tan Bin thought about it and shook his head slightly unwillingly, "Forget it, give them a little more face and tell them that we will ask for 100 records within a year, but not all at once. If they want If you want to sell music tapes, you have to listen to us! Don’t pretend to understand. A layman can direct an expert, and you can do whatever you want!"
"Okay, I'll take note of it." Zheng Guohuai nodded and agreed.
When they negotiate again, Tan Bin is no longer suitable to appear, and he has to go.
Zheng Guohuai himself is in the marketing field. Although Xinghua Bookstore is a monopoly giant and can say the same thing, Zheng Guohuai still has the tact he deserves.
At least he didn't dare to be so tough when facing Huo Jianning.
He is a man of heaven and earth. If you are so tough, do you really want to seek death?
