Chapter 41 Absolute Monopoly

Brent's mind moved, and he immediately pictured in his mind the scenes of ladies and ladies bringing a hat or a pair of shoes after buying cosmetics, and he was immediately impressed by the Crown Prince's business acumen.

On the side, the old man wearing glasses suggested: "Your Highness, nearly half of the customers yesterday were aristocratic ladies from the Palace of Versailles. Do you think you should open a branch in the Palace of Versailles?"

"It's not necessary." Joseph smiled and shook his head. "Having them go all the way to Paris to buy them will better demonstrate the preciousness and irreplaceability of Parisian angels. At the same time, Parisian aristocrats will follow suit when they see them frequently coming in and out of our store. "

After talking about the merchandise sales, Brent added: "Your Highness, in the past few days, six people including Count Alblau, Duke Lavalier, and Marquis Montes have expressed interest in joining the Paris Angels. Take a look at this... …"

Yes, from the first day of planning the store, Joseph planned to promote Paris Angels as a franchise chain!

Opening stores one by one is not only slow but also laborious.

Before you open a few businesses, capitalists with a keen sense of smell will imitate your example and compete with you.

Although Joseph has the core technology of salicylic acid and is not afraid of competition, he will be diverted from many customers after all.

Therefore, he wants to use the franchise method to occupy the cosmetics market in France and even Europe as quickly as possible, so that Paris Angel will not leave any trace of its competitors in terms of product efficacy, publicity and promotion, and market scale. Chance!

Anyway, there is no concept of anti-monopoly in this era. If we don't work hard to develop monopoly, wouldn't we be a gift from the times?

Moreover, the profits of my cosmetics products are extremely high, about 800% to 1300%. Giving one-fifth of it to franchisees is completely acceptable to me, but for franchisees, they will already make a dream profit. Wake up with a smile!

Finally, through the agents of Paris Angel, you can build a complete sales channel. If you develop other things in the future, you can also rely on this channel to quickly distribute goods and recover costs quickly.

Joseph nodded and said to Brent: "I will leave all the franchisee matters to you. I have written all the franchise conditions and negotiation skills in the document. I believe you have already memorized it. After the negotiation is completed, bring it to me. Just sign."

Joseph would never underestimate the wisdom of people of this era. They just lacked vision and ideas of future generations. As long as they are taught these things, they will never do worse than those of later generations.

Especially a leader in the professional field like Brent.

Joseph's future energy must not be wasted on the business operations of Paris Angels, so it is very necessary to train his subordinates as early as possible and delegate power to them.

"Thank you for your trust," Brent said, stroking his chest and bowing, "I will definitely not let you down!"

Rue Cerpentine, Paris.

The Paris Angel Company headquarters welcomed several heavyweight guests on this day.

Including the Count of Alblau, the Duke of La Vallière, and the Marquis of Montes. These people are either old nobles with rich families or new capital rich people who have made a lot of money. No matter which one is famous in the Paris business community.

They are all gathered here today for the same thing - to join the Paris Angel Company.

Brent first took everyone to visit the company's production workshop, which directly amazed these business elites.

Where is the workshop here? It is simply a magnificent villa!

The workers' uniforms were clean and tidy. They sat on carved chairs and worked leisurely. Both the raw material warehouse and the filling table are made of high-quality oak, with exquisite shape and spotless appearance.

After looking at the production plant, Brent introduced them into the conference room, first put up a huge oil painting of the company's store, and said loudly: "Joining is actually very simple, it means that you can also own such an extraordinary store. !"

Then, he smiled slightly: "I know you must be worried that you may not be able to achieve such a superior effect. Please rest assured that you don't have to worry about the decoration, layout, etc. of the new store. All these are left to Paris Angel Company. What you get will be a store that is ready to open for business immediately.

"You don't even have to worry about everything from store management to store clerks. Paris Angel will help you train and supervise you, and even prepare employee uniforms for you!

"In other words, you only need to sign the franchise contract and then count the money every day."

Count Alblau, Duke Lavalier and others all smiled knowingly.

Brent immediately added: "I can reveal a secret to you. The store opened by Paris Angel on the Champs Elysées has a maximum sales volume of 126,000 livres in one day."

Even though several business elites had seen a lot of River, their eyes widened in shock when they heard this.

The one-day turnover of this store is even higher than the monthly income of their huge factory!

Brent continued: "The company will only open three franchise stores in the entire Paris, and the distance between each store cannot be less than half a league."

1 mile is 4 kilometers, and the distance between stores is more than 2 kilometers, which can fully ensure that they do not compete with each other for customers.

"Oh, for the first franchisee, the company will give a discount. The franchise fee is 150,000 livres. The subsequent franchise fees will become 180,000 livres. The price for franchisees outside Paris is 110,000 livres."

Several business elites immediately started whispering among themselves.

To be honest, this franchise policy and prospect are very attractive to them. After all, they have witnessed the amazing grand opening of the Champs Elysées store, but they have never been exposed to this franchise model, and they always have some concerns.

The Duke of Lavalier, who has very deep nasolabial wrinkles, said: "Mr. General Manager, who can say for sure what the current situation will be like? Today we can sell 120,000 yuan, but maybe tomorrow we can only sell 1,200 yuan. I am pessimistic about profitability. of."

"My Lord Duke, you underestimate the ladies' obsession with beauty. They would rather go hungry than ignore their faces. I can assure you that there is no off-season for Parisian angels."

"Then I hope to sell other products in the store." Count Albrow said.

"Oh, you are making things difficult for me..."

While everyone was bargaining, a young man sitting in the corner clenched his fists.

His name is Baudouin, and it has only been three years since he took over the family's textile industry. But just last year, the French government and the British signed a trade agreement, which reduced tariffs on almost all industrial products to close to zero.

Massive amounts of high-quality and cheap British textiles poured into France, and his factory was immediately left unable to fight back.

In just over a year, he lost more than half of his huge family fortune. Finally, he reluctantly packed up and sold the remaining ten or so textile factories, preparing to call it quits and live out his days as a wealthy man.

He originally didn't want to join the Paris Angels. It was his old friend who forced him to take a look. But at this time, he suddenly remembered the Paris Angels franchise advertisement in the newspaper: Maybe pessimists are always right, but only optimists can make money. Got the money!

He stood up suddenly, stared at Brent and said: "Mr. General Manager, I have decided to join. As the first franchisee, I enjoy a discount of 150,000 yuan to open a store, so I want to invest 300,000 livres to open two franchises. shop!"
