Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 112 Horrifying Sales Figures! (First Update!)

"There really is." Lin Yi touched his nose, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Tianming first rolled his eyes, then waved his hand:
"Just say what you want to say. What kind of young person are you, being so hesitant and timid?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi chuckled, took half a step forward, and whispered in Zhou Tianming's ear:

"If any competitors try to take me down, I'll ask Director Zhou for your help."

After hearing this, Zhou Tianming was slightly stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

Today, Lin Yi put all those parts on the display stand and then sent someone to tell consumers little by little that these things are worth the price.

This is practically exposing the competitors' true colors. Once the competitors realize this, they'll definitely retaliate.

At this point, you'll see the consequences of overprotecting your own.

Zhou Tianming reached out and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, smiling gently:

"Are you a Party member?"

"Yes, but my Party membership is still at the school and hasn't been transferred back yet."

"It's nothing." Zhou Tianming stood with his hands behind his back, slowly turning in circles. Finally, he looked up and said:

"Establish the Party branch as soon as possible."

"After the Party branch is established, you should quickly come up with a plan for the industrial chain of your brand, and I will submit it to the city."

“After seeing your proposal, the city should provide some support. With these support policies in place, they will have to give you face, even if they don’t care about me.”

"Of course, even if they don't care about face and insist on doing it, it doesn't matter, we can just go head-to-head."

"However, I need to remind you that you need to be strong yourself to succeed."

"Only when you are strong enough can you be fearless against those petty villains."

"Director Zhou is right." Lin Yi never hesitated to praise those who helped him. He pointed to the computer monitor screen and asked with a smile:

"Shall we go down and take some pictures?"

"No!" Zhou Tianming waved his hand repeatedly, then shook the clock on his left hand:
"Today is Monday. There was supposed to be a meeting this morning, but we didn't have one because we were busy with this matter."

"I need to hurry back and organize things. I need to get the meeting going by noon, as I have other work to do this afternoon."

As he spoke, Zhou Tianming began tidying up the things on the table, and Lin Yi also stepped forward to help him:

"That's great. I'll have someone bring a few air conditioners back with you, Director Zhou, and ask the staff from the Development and Employment Guidance Office to give you some guidance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianming paused for a moment, smiled helplessly, and continued tidying up.

After seeing Zhou Tianming off outside the sports center, Lin Yi stood with his hands behind his back under the simple gate, next to the billboard, watching the people entering the sports center with a smile.

The advertisement was very effective.

Or rather, people at this time were not rich enough.

Even though Mijia has only released some advertisements and has not yet officially appeared in front of outsiders, there are still many people who come to visit based on the advertisements.

It was far beyond his expectations.

Moreover, many of the visitors brought their families.

Such people have a very high probability of converting into orders.

After standing at the entrance for a while, he put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into the sports center through the entrance.

As Lin Yi passed by the company profiles of the suppliers, his expression softened as he looked at them.

If it were him in his past life, and he were to hold this press conference using his usual thought processes, he would definitely try every means to denigrate the competitors to nothing.

However, having been exposed to internet culture by the previous generation, he is well aware of what the rebellious post-80s and post-90s generations will be like in the future.

You like to belittle people, huh? Then you're trash too.

Rumors about competitors will ruin your reputation.

If you have bad interpersonal relationships, others will find your products very unpleasant to look at.

As he entered the exhibition area, he immediately noticed the people lingering in front of the parts display booth.

These people weren't actually focused on the parts themselves, but rather on the prices listed below them, especially the names of manufacturers that used the same model of parts.

Upon seeing these names, the people who stopped all frowned, as if they had seen something they couldn't understand at all.

Lin Yi didn't go over to stir things up. After looking around the parts exhibition area, he turned around and walked towards the testing area, which had the most people.

The person in charge of the testing area was Cao Bin, and the other employees in the testing area were naturally the remaining 19 junior students.

At this moment, they are wearing the same factory uniforms, standing in front of the products of the factory they are responsible for, without shouting loudly or making any unnecessary movements.

It just keeps torturing the home appliances around it according to the requests of the tourists visiting the site.

"Use that induction cooker to boil a pot of water!"

"Turn the air conditioner to heating mode and set the temperature to the highest setting so I can feel the breeze."

"I want to experience the cooling! Winter doesn't matter, I want to survive this summer."

"Please freeze this bottle of water for me."

“I just bought a new electricity meter and replaced mine with this one. I think your electricity meter is fake.”

"Can I use your rice cooker to stir-fry vegetables?"

"Change the channel back for me, I want to watch Journey to the West."

"Why watch Journey to the West? Young people should watch Water Margin."

"Wow, you're doing the opposite of what I've said: 'Old people shouldn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, young people shouldn't read Water Margin.'"

"Can I play with your blowtorch? I want to set this power strip on fire."

"Burning power strips is pointless, I'll burn the TV instead."

"Pure idiot."

"I'm a college student, and I want that little speaker you're holding."

"I'm a primary school student, give it to me."

As Lin Yi walked over, Cao Bin saw him, naturally raised his right hand, made an "OK" sign, and gave him a reassuring smile.

After looking around in the crowd for about 10 minutes, Lin Yi turned around, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the exit.

The order signing area for this product launch was located at the exit.

There are people on both the left and right sides.

If you don't want to buy anything, you can simply walk through the passage and leave. If you want to buy home appliances, just scan the left and right sides to see the appliance categories, walk to the corresponding counter, and you can place an order.

After placing an order, you can pick up the goods on the spot or leave your name and address and wait for delivery to your door.

The closest signing counter to the exhibition area is the signing counter of Arctic Ocean Technology.

At this moment, Yu Jixuan, the CEO of Arctic Ocean Technology, personally transformed into a cashier, holding banknotes in his left hand and receipts in his right, exchanging money for tickets and issuing receipts simultaneously.
"One 300-liter horizontal freezer in Hanshan Temple area, delivered to your door with full payment."

"This is your delivery receipt. Please keep it safe. Our staff will need you to show it when they deliver the goods to your door, and you will also need to provide the receipt for subsequent equipment repairs."

"Running away? Sir, you must be joking. We are a legitimate group. You're from Hanshan Temple District, so you should have heard of Xiaomi Heavy Industry, which is under the jurisdiction of Hanshan Subdistrict Office in Hanshan Temple District." "It used to be called Lin Laosan Electric Appliance Factory."

"See? I told you you knew."

"Why is the manufacturer Arctic Ocean Technology Company? Sir, we are a subsidiary of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group, and Xiaomi Heavy Industry owns 55% of our shares."

"There are so many factories, we can't possibly cram them all into one place."

"See the sign behind me? It has my address on it. If you have any problems, you can just come over and chop me up with a knife. It's only a few tens of minutes away by taxi."

"Okay, sir, take care!"

The difficult old man walked away, and the next person immediately followed. Yu Jixuan skillfully looked up and tore off a receipt from the new receipt book:
"What would you like to buy, handsome? A refrigerator or a freezer? A double-door refrigerator or a single-door refrigerator?"

"Is it 50% prepayment or full payment? Do you need home delivery?"

"I need to remind you before you make the purchase that you have the opportunity to back out before you sign the final document."

"But once the receipt is signed, even if you change your mind later, we will not refund the money."

"Of course, for damage caused by the product's own quality issues, we will choose to refund or exchange the product according to your request."

"Would you like to continue purchasing?"

The young man stood in front of the counter for a while, frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously:

"A 450-liter double-door refrigerator, 50% payment required, delivered to your door."

"Okay." Yu Jixuan readily agreed, picked up her pen, and began filling out the receipt.

A few minutes later, a new delivery receipt was filled out. After verifying the information with the young man and having him pay, he gently tore off the bottom half of the receipt and placed it in the young man's hand.

Please keep the delivery receipt safe.

After finishing this order, Yu Jixuan looked up and noticed Lin Yi standing next to her.

But there were still many people in line behind him, and he couldn't get away even if he wanted to. He could only raise his hand, give Lin Yi a thumbs up, and then lower his head to continue working.

Lin Yi watched for a while longer, then, finding nothing else to do, simply put his hands behind his back and went straight back to the monitoring room.

He chatted and boasted with the people in the monitoring room.

Chen Fen spent the whole morning at the exhibition with her son, but didn't buy anything. However, she drank quite a lot of free bottled water.

They ate KFC for lunch, and in the afternoon, the mother and son went for a stroll around the nearby shopping mall plaza, not returning home until evening.

At 7 p.m., just after finishing cooking dinner, Zhou Yaohui pushed open the door and walked into the living room, asking as he put down his bag:
"How was the trip?"

“I feel like all that furniture we looked at before was just a waste of money,” Chen Fen said without hesitation as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

A short while later, she came out of the room carrying several plates of food, placed them on the table, and then continued:

"I went to see the Mijia exhibition today."

"I suddenly realized that all the home appliances we bought before were really expensive."

"Even though they are all the same parts and the assembly process is almost the same, the brand-name products are still more expensive."

Zhou Yaohui picked up his chopsticks, but instead of picking up any food, he held them above the plate and asked softly:

"So, you've already decided on that new Mijia brand?"

“Yes!” Chen Fen nodded. “Take air conditioners for example. For the same price, other big brands offer fixed-frequency air conditioners, but you can get an inverter air conditioner at Mijia.”

"The remaining appliances are actually pretty much the same."

After listening to his wife's words, Zhou Yaohui silently shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, swallowed them all, and then calmly said:

"It's a newly launched brand that we don't know much about, so it's best to wait a couple more days."

"As you just said, a lot of people are buying today."

"Then we'll be able to see the actual quality of these appliances in the next day or two."

"It's not too late for us to buy then."

After listening, Chen Fen thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.

The first person to eat crab is certainly admirable and worthy of respect.

However, no one wants to take the risk of eating something they don't know or understand. She nodded gently: "My husband is right, we'll buy it in a couple of days."

…………

10 PM, Suzhou Sports Center.

Liu Daneng put down the phone, slowly walked up to Lin Yi, handed him the registration book, and said with a bitter face:
"Boss, the last delivery is complete. Today, we delivered a total of 875 TVs, 1147 freezers, 964 refrigerators, and 1452 air conditioners..."

"Stop!" Lin Yi casually took the registration book and tossed it to Yu Jixuan and the others in front of him.

"Just state the transaction amount."

Knowing his boss's temperament, Liu Daneng didn't continue showing off, and instead pulled out another notebook and placed it in front of Lin Yi:

"The transaction volume of orders that have already been delivered today has reached 2700 million."

"If we include the orders that haven't been delivered yet, today's total transaction amount is over 3900 million."

This is a terrifying number; although there are a total of 11 manufacturers, this is only the transaction volume on the first day.

Even if it's split evenly, each company still has a transaction volume of over 200 million yuan, which used to take them almost a month to achieve.

Moreover, the entire press conference will last for 5 days, and today is only the first day.

As the topic gradually spreads, and with the first batch of users sharing their experiences, orders in the next four days are sure to increase significantly.

In the past, they would have been very happy.

But now, a group of people are saying they're a little panicked.

There are too many orders, we can't finish them all, we simply can't finish them all.

Noticing the worry on their faces, Lin Yi tapped the table to draw their attention to himself:
"Now I'll assign the tasks for the next phase."

"Tonight, go back to your respective companies, take stock of the parts orders you have, estimate the orders for the next four days based on today's situation, and quickly purchase additional parts."

"At the same time, we'll have our workers work overtime, in three shifts around the clock. No matter what, we need to finish these orders before the new year and not let others take them from us."

"This is fulfilling an order."

"Then there are our competitors. We're holding a press conference today, and they've never seen us do this before. They'll be caught off guard today, but by tomorrow, even the dumbest of them will have figured it out."

"So in the coming period, in addition to fulfilling our orders, we also need to guard against the underhanded tactics of our competitors."

"We're all business people, and there are many dirty tricks in business, so I won't remind you of them here."

"If we hold on, even if it's just a Pyrrhic victory, we will still have won a great victory in this war where good money drives out bad money."

"We just need to develop step by step and grow slowly, and we can gradually swallow up the market share of our competitors."

"In the future, whenever the development of China's home appliance industry is mentioned, your names will surely be there."

"Your contributions will surely be remembered."
