Chapter 407 Grabbing soup

  This year's Christmas, Song Yang's Alcatel mobile phone, Panda TV and other electronic hardware products will not be able to catch up with the time. Even if it is the earliest, it will not be able to release new products until early next year.

  However, Alcatel mobile phones and other products, although not in time for Christmas, America Telecom has not been idle, but has begun to prepare for the Christmas sale.

When Song Yang came to the America Telecom flagship store in San Jose, he saw that the flagship store had just been opened for more than a month. Yes, in addition to the store on the first floor, there are two floors of office buildings, which is also the operation center of American Telecom in Silicon Valley.

  America Telecom's current store adopts two methods: flagship store and franchisee. The flagship store is basically directly operated by America Telecom, and the interior decoration is uniformly designed.

  As for franchisees, there are not so many rules. As long as there is a store, after signing an agreement with America Telecom, it can put up the signboard of America Telecom, start to attract business locally, promote broadband networks, sell mobile phones and other electronic products, etc.

Most of these franchisee stores are located in the counties and counties of American states. These places are sparsely populated. If you open a flagship store and just maintain those personnel, the cost will be too high. If you find franchisees locally, the cost can be reduced a lot. .

  America Telecom's flagship stores are mostly located in American cities, while franchisees are recruited in counties and counties. This makes America Telecom's store scale rapidly begin to soar.

While the outside world is still focusing on America Telecom's broadband business, America Telecom has opened more than 300 stores in America this year, basically covering major cities in America, among which belong to America Telecom headquarters There are more than 100 stores directly managed, and the rest are franchise stores. It is expected that this size will continue to double by next year!

What American Telecom has to do is to build the largest electronic product sales channel in America, especially the mobile phone sales channel, when no one is paying attention. , will be a cash cow.

Song Yang entered America Telecom's store, and saw that the entire flagship store was not small, and the store's business personnel were obviously carefully selected. It's hard to say how about the business personnel at America Telecom's other stores, but the staff at the flagship store in San Jose, Both in appearance and figure, they are quite good, and they have obviously received professional etiquette training.

   "Hi, I'm glad to serve you, what do you need to do..."

  As soon as Song Yang entered the store, a salesperson with a professional smile came up. When she saw Song Yang, the female salesperson froze for a moment, and then the smile on her face became brighter, "Boss!"

   This sound attracted the attention of no one else in the store. The people who can be sent to this store are all professionally trained, so it is naturally impossible to recognize the wrong person.

Seeing Song Yang who came in, all the saleswomen in the store had strange looks in their eyes. They were young and rich, with faces of Hollywood male stars, and coupled with his worth on the Forbes list, Song Yang was a man in their eyes. Absolute diamond king.

The female salesperson who was the first to receive Song Yang introduced the store business to Song Yang at every step. The female staff in other business areas, including a few good-looking female staff, also looked at Song Yang with fiery eyes, and even intentionally Straighten their bodies and show their figures to Song Yang.

After all, Jenny is here, and the American gossip tabloid media has already gone through various aspects of Song Yang's hobby, even guessed and analyzed it countless times. The female salesperson who came to this store in San Jose, The bodies are quite hot.

The female store clerk standing next to Song Yang, when she saw a few female clerks who wanted to lean over here, she cursed Bichi secretly, how could she not know what these people were thinking, after all, she came here The flagship store in San Jose has also spent a lot of thought.

America Telecom's flagship stores in New York and San Jose are the most competitive. These two cities are the most likely to meet executives of America Telecom and the parent company. Naturally, there are many opportunities to show up and perform, and they are also the easiest promoted.

  The girls who came to the flagship store in San Jose were even more thoughtful, just like meeting Song Yang today, if something happened, they might be able to be like Jenny, and their fate would be changed directly from then on.

Now in America, although there are many people who scold Jenny, there are even more people who are envious. They say that Jenny is a stupid American girl with only a figure, but no matter how they criticize, Jenny has now entered Hollywood. In the big production of Billion Dollar Knife, as a supporting actress, if it wasn't for her acting skills and her first entry into Hollywood, then she might really be a leading actress.

There are not a few who are envious of scolding, just like these people in the store today, looking at Song Yang with fiery eyes, not to mention those who want to stuff phone numbers and room numbers into Song Yang's pockets , counting on Song Yang to knock on the door at night, whether they enter Hollywood like Jenny, or become executives in American Telecom, or even become canaries, even if they give birth to an illegitimate child, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives!

   "This is the electronics area. Currently, America Telecom's flagship store mainly sells miniature electronic products such as mobile phones and cameras. In the future, there will be areas for digital products such as computers, TVs, and VCDs."

The female store staff, seeing Song Yang, just looked at the product in front of her, didn't seem to see her hint, she could only sigh in her heart, feeling that it would be impossible to take the bedside route and stage a scene of flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix , but still trying hard to introduce to Song Yang, wanting to make a good impression in front of Song Yang.

  Song Yang went to the electronic product area, and saw that American Telecom mainly sells mobile phones, cameras and other electronic products, including Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and other brand products. Obviously, American Telecom has obtained the authorization of these products.

In the future, the electronic product area of ​​America Telecom's flagship store will be upgraded to a digital product area, not only small electronic products such as mobile phones and cameras, but also other TVs, computers, VCDs, video recorders, etc., but those franchise stores , there is definitely no such condition as a flagship store. In the future, it will mainly sell mobile phones.

   While Song Yang was watching in the flagship store, the store manager hurried over and said to Song Yang, "I just participated in a conference call held by President Eiger at the New York headquarters..."

Hearing this, Song Yang nodded. Ever since Eiger became the president of America Telecom, he has been questioned all the time. This made Eiger put a lot of energy on America Telecom. Good professional manager, but definitely one of the hardest professional managers.

  Eiger carried out all the things that Song Yang explained without any discount, and handled all the main businesses of American Telecom by himself. The rapid development of American Telecom is inseparable from Eiger's hard work.

  Song Yang glanced around the store and saw that there were many users in each business area in the store, whether it was the telecommunications business area, the electronic product area, or the maintenance area. He had a general impression of the number of users in this store.

   "Manager Lukes, right?!"

   After entering the office, Song Yang glanced at the nameplate in front of the store manager, and said to him.

   "How is the revenue of this store?!"

Hearing Song Yang ask about this, Lukes took out the revenue report and put it in front of Song Yang, "This store just started operation last month, and the current revenue has exceeded two million. If Silicon Valley can It occupies the telecommunications business market, and it is expected that the revenue will continue to grow in the future.

  Christmas next month will also increase store revenue by three to four times! "

Song Yang just nodded at Lukes' words. It seems that this store makes a lot of money, but such a store has a huge initial investment, such as decoration costs, personnel salaries, product authorization costs, purchase costs, and promotional costs. The sum is close to millions of dollars. In some stores, American Telecom even bought the land of the stores. The investment is even greater, and it will take several years to fully pay back.

The cost of opening these stores, as well as the broadband lines built in major cities, etc., American Telecom basically borrowed from banks such as Comerica and Deutsche Bank. However, there are too many lice and they are not afraid of biting. Got a big debt.

American Telecom has only two options. One is to earn back slowly and then return it to the bank. The other is to make a lot of money in the listing circle. Like Shitong, it will increase the stock price, sell the stock to leeks, and repay the debt. It's paid off, anyway, Song Yang cut the leeks through American Telecom, and he definitely wouldn't throw a dollar here...

   "How is the broadband business in Silicon Valley doing now?!"

  Song Yang flipped through the revenue report a few times, then put it aside. This flagship store is in San Jose, not only a store selling mobile phones, but also an operation center.

  America Telecom started by occupying the broadband market on Wall Street. Of course, in Silicon Valley, it wants to replicate what it did on Wall Street.

Silicon Valley, which has thousands of technology companies, is one of the two largest telecommunications markets together with Wall Street. As long as it can occupy these two markets, the entire American telecommunications market will definitely have a place for American Telecom. It can earn tens or even tens of billions of dollars in revenue.

   Being appointed by Iger as the manager of the San Jose flagship store, Lukes is basically equivalent to the person in charge of America Telecom in San Jose. He came to Silicon Valley to expand the territory for America Telecom!

   "America Telecom is not easy to do in Silicon Valley. WorldCom, Verizon, Bell Group, MCI, Charter Communications, Sprint, Comcast, and AOL are all competing with America Telecom in Silicon Valley!"

Lukes had a helpless expression on his face. Other telecom giants were obviously unwilling to be stolen by American Telecom. Even Comcast, which is cooperating with ICQ, also joined the ranks of snatching the Silicon Valley telecom market. Let America Telecom get Wall Street's telecommunications market, it's already a big deal. If you lose Silicon Valley's telecommunications market, then other telecommunications giants really have nothing to do with America Telecom.
