Chapter 246 The wall fell and everyone pushed it
The sharp contrast between the two shops made Tian Fang so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He thought a lot and found many reasons, but he did not find his own reason.
Tian Fang always believed that the sales side was not strong enough.
If others stood in his shoes, they would most likely come to the same conclusion.
With powerful configuration and loss-making price, it still cannot attract customers. If this is not a problem with sales, whose problem is it?
With a gloomy face, Tian Fang lectured his subordinates and asked them to give reasons for the poor sales. On the first day of sale, so many stores only sold a pitiful eleven Ares K1s. Even if they were cheating, it would not be possible to cheat only eleven people.
In other words, your own sales channels are not as capable as those of the scammers!
How could the channel allies have the energy to find excuses for Tian Fang?
Their mindsets have completely changed now.
I originally thought that by following Tian Fang I could threaten Wu Jun and gain greater benefits.
Later, they got carried away and thought that Tian Fang could really lead them to a bright future. However, they found out after weighing him that Tian Fang weighed less than 100 grams and was just a small shrimp in this market!
After scolding for a while, Tian Fang realized that he couldn't just scold people anymore. He had to think of some way. The God of War was his business now, and other people would not take it as seriously as he did.
So Tian Fang gave instructions to buy better chips, better motherboards, and even better graphics cards. They must fight this battle well and capture the hill.
So Ares targeted the high-end market and planned to launch a high-end series to improve its style.
After signing a bunch of agreements and looking at the huge debts, Tian Fang spent money like water and was under tremendous pressure.
The new series was launched in such a hurry that many store employees had not even had time to receive training. They had no idea what was so great about the new series and how much better it was than the original version.
However, the shop assistants did not need to worry for long, because things soon took a dramatic turn.
Just one day before the new Fuxi K1 was ready for release, Tian Fang's men collectively turned against him and decided not to follow him anymore.
After Tian Fang’s meeting that day, these channel dealers gathered together privately to chat.
After several rounds of drinking, everyone gradually started talking more.
A distributor's face flushed as he shouted, "I'm afraid something bad is going to happen to the God of War if he looks like this! I made zero sales on the first day! Customers walked by and didn't even glance at them!"
Another person took over the conversation: "That's right! That's too uncomfortable! I would rather they look at me with contempt! It's better than ignoring me!"
"How come the reputation of the God of War has become so bad? Was it caused by the divine ship?"
"Hey! You can't say that. So far, I haven't seen Shenchuan say a bad word about the God of War, neither in private nor in public."
"What's the point of talking about this? What should we do next? Consumers come to the store to protect their rights, but I can't produce Fuxi K1 computers. I don't have any in stock!"
"If this continues, our store will be completely ruined, and we won't have a chance to turn things around even if we join a new computer company in the future."
Everyone was silent for a while, feeling worried for themselves. If they continued to follow Tian Fang, something would probably go wrong. This guy couldn't do anything except borrow money to buy expensive parts and sell them at a loss, but his skill in shifting the blame was first-rate.
"What do you think?" Suddenly, someone asked about the topic of tonight.
After much hesitation, the more powerful channel dealer gave his own idea: "Why don't we go back and look for the magic ship..."
"Is this possible?" The hesitation was not whether they could save face. If they had done business to this point, they would have lost face long ago. They were worried about whether the Shenchuan would accept it and how they would survive in the future.
"Absolutely no problem. It's too troublesome for Shenchuan to open sales channels. It hasn't been fully rolled out until now. There are still many cities in the north that still don't have Shenchuan stores."
"But... the Divine Ship will never let us go back so easily. There must be some restrictions. After all, we have left the Divine Ship before."
This person's speech is very artistic, he describes betrayal as leaving.
"It's all done if you agree. While Shenchuan's sales channels are still relatively weak, we can talk a little. If Shenchuan becomes popular in the future, we will really have no chance. I have seen clearly that Lianxiang is bullshitting. In terms of technology, positioning, and strategy, it is simply not as good as Shenchuan. At least until now, Shenchuan has passed the test perfectly and is getting better and better."
Everyone was stunned. This person was a die-hard supporter of Tian Fang. Why did he speak like this today?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not stupid."
Everyone was silent. You are indeed not stupid, and you are extremely shameless.
The channel dealers hit it off immediately and told Wu Jun about the matter. They also took the initiative to request to join the flagship store sales store, which meant that they could only sell Shenchuan computers in the future and were not allowed to sell computers of other brands, otherwise they would be sued.
This is a token of allegiance and sincerity, and it would be more respectable if you speak up yourself.
Wu Jun put aside his past grudges and readily agreed to these people's request.
Don't think that Wu Jun is really stupid. He has already discussed with Lu Shan and will definitely establish a channel that truly belongs to him in the future. Before that, he can recruit them in this way.
Tian Fang knew that he was being backstabbed by his ally. Looking at the bad debts and the large amount of inventory, he became so angry that he collapsed and was sent to the hospital by people around him.
Knowing that Tian Fang was admitted to the hospital, the creditors chased him directly into the hospital, because at this time the new companion silicon motherboard had been officially launched, and the new Fuxi K1 equipped with this motherboard had also been launched on the market, and sales were very hot. In comparison, the God of War was too miserable.
The creditors naturally couldn't believe that Tian Fang could recover, so they came to collect the debts one after another, and some even terminated the cooperation contract in advance. What about the penalty for breach of contract?
Some partners are willing to breach the contract even if they are willing to pay liquidated damages, while others are just playing dirty, betting that the God of War doesn't have time to haggle.
After waking up, Tian Fang, who was abandoned by his friends and relatives, heard a commotion outside. After he understood what was going on, he was out of breath and was admitted to the hospital again.
Shenchuan Computer has not forgotten its original intention. Part of the new Fuxi K1 launched on the market will be used to replace the customers who were cheated before, and part will be sold to new customers.
Shenchuan did what it said and invisibly advertised itself.
At the same time, many Ares stores in the north were transformed into Shenchuan stores again, and began selling the new Fuxi K1 and also carried out replacement work.
But Wu Jun distinguished them. If they wanted the new Fuxi K1, they could just buy it honestly and he would give them priority supply, but they would no longer buy it on credit.
The replacement work cannot be sloppy. Any complaint will be seriously investigated, and the cooperation qualification will be immediately revoked if there is a problem. These original shareholders and allies have now become pure channel dealers and no longer have a say.
Wu Jun is actually showing leniency by doing this.
If the sales weren’t so hot and consumers everywhere were hungry for food, these fence-sitters would be really useless!
Sales in many stores are extremely hot.
Queuing and making appointments are routine operations. Unconventional operations are "zero-yuan purchases" or being a "stolen profiteer".
Only a few people did this, and Shenchuan had to call on everyone to consume rationally, and the products will be available soon.
"What kind of bragging is Shenchuan! What do you mean it will be supplied soon?" Hao Shuai complained speechlessly. The production lines have been expanded by two more and the two technical teams he brought out were immediately divided up, but they still couldn't keep up with the increased number of orders.
The situation is the same for Yang Luo, Zhang Kaifeng and Liu Wenjie. The people they bring are simply not enough, and some of them have been sent to Shenzhen to provide technical guidance.
Because the Shenchuan production line in Shenzhen has expanded more rapidly, many people go there to work every day.
With more people, there will be more skilled workers. BanSi Company can take advantage of this opportunity to transfer technology to lower levels, improve the technical content of the production line, and try out newer technologies on its own side.
These doctors from the Xia Academy of Sciences felt that they were now like Han Xin. They worked hard to train soldiers and finally gathered some good soldiers, but then they were pulled away by Lu Shan, the Liu Bang, to serve as backbones in other places.
But Lu Shan is not Liu Bang, and they are not Han Xin.
There is nothing to say about how good Lu Shan is to everyone.
The salaries these PhDs receive are incredibly high, at a level that can change the fate of a class, so naturally everyone is more united.
"Puff! Bang!" After two sounds, a burnt smell spread.
"Oh no! The solder paste printer is broken!" Zhang Kaifeng and Liu Wenjie quickly came to the scene.
"This is too fast!"
"This machine has hardly ever stopped. Except for the time when it was forced to shut down, it was running all the time.
But after working too much, there will definitely be wear and tear, and that little rest time is not enough."
Zhang Kaifeng and Liu Wenjie immediately directed the employees to dismantle the equipment, and try to repair it if possible, and replace the machines if it could not be repaired. The production task is so heavy now that no one has the time to dawdle here.
After some testing, fortunately, there were only a few minor parts that had problems. They just needed to be replaced with more durable ones. It was a false alarm.
At this time, Lu Shan completely let go of the production. He only needed to control the core preparation process of the materials, and the rest was up to his subordinates.
When your business becomes bigger, how can you do everything yourself?
Even the veterans have to train teams at four or five levels.
Looking at the industrial zone map of Jiangzhou City, Lu Shan fell into deep thought. He has now begun to think about more things.
The semiconductor industry is the industry with the highest level of participation, the highest level of technology, and the largest number of participants in this era. The upstream and downstream of the industry are extremely long, and every industry can be related to this industry.
In this case, Lu Shan has to plan the industrial park carefully.
There are still many industrial parks in Jiangzhou that can meet my needs for a long time in the future, but what about the future? We must plan well to make the combination of various industries more reasonable.
"Don't think too much about it. Just try to be as reasonable as possible. This kind of thing still requires the efforts and manpower of Jiangzhou locals." Lu Shan closed the map and a rough outline appeared in his mind.
Just then, Wu Jun called.
