65: Chapter 65: Guan Yi Takes Action, Distributors Rush to Deliver Money!
Guan Yi turned and left.
The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor faded away, finally disappearing at the end of the corridor.
In the office, Old Zhang was still sitting on the sofa, staring at the circles and arrows on the whiteboard, not moving for a long time.
"President Chen..." Old Zhang's lips were dry. "Is that it?"
"All that stuff she mentioned, that talk about sinking, about closed loops..."
Chen Xu smiled and was about to speak.
Bzz—
The phone screen on the table lit up and vibrated.
A text notification popped up.
[Huaguo Bank: Your corporate account ending in XXXX received a deposit of 100,000,000.00 RMB on X Month X Day at 10:15. Current balance: 120,357,821.50 RMB.]
One hundred million.
Not a cent off.
Chen Xu picked up the phone and dialed President Qiao.
"President Qiao, the money has been received."
On the other end of the line, President Qiao's laughter came through: "President Chen, you are too polite. We have great confidence in the future of Star Technology. If you need anything, feel free to contact us."
"Good."
Chen Xu hung up the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
His gaze drifted past the factory grounds and toward the northeast.
Money, he had it.
People, he had them.
Technology, it was one-of-a-kind.
Next, it was time to make the name Xingchen ring throughout all of Huaguo.
"Old Zhang." Chen Xu turned around.
Old Zhang jerked his head up upon hearing this.
"From now on, you will fully cooperate with Guan Yi's work." Chen Xu's tone was flat.
"Whatever resources she wants, you give them to her."
"Whoever she wants to meet, you arrange it."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Old Zhang nodded vigorously.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Chen Shiyi pushed the door open and entered.
"Boss."
His reports were always concise and clear.
"The super battery's Quality Supervision Bureau registration, the production qualifications for the Gale electric motorcycle, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology product certification—all procedures were completed this morning."
He handed over a thick kraft paper file bag.
"The relevant certificates and documents will be delivered tomorrow morning."
Chen Xu took the file bag without opening it.
This meant that the procedures for the "Gale" were fully settled; it was time to show their true strength.
"Very good."
Chen Xu placed the file bag on the table.
"Check all twenty remaining Gale units in the workshop to ensure everything is foolproof."
"Also, get the twenty modified 'Storm' units ready."
"All vehicles must be ready for loading at any time; we are taking them to Yu City."
Chen Shiyi nodded: "Understood."
He turned and left to carry out the orders.
In the office, only Chen Xu and Old Zhang remained.
Old Zhang was still immersed in the double shock of the one hundred million and all the qualifications being settled; his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
The next afternoon, Guan Yi appeared in the office again.
She had changed into a gray suit and was holding a tablet computer.
"Boss, this is the dealer channel plan I made."
She handed the tablet to Chen Xu.
Old Zhang also leaned in.
On the screen, a PDF file titled "Star Technology Channel Partner Tiered Management System" was open.
[Bronze Dealer: Initial order quantity of no less than 50 units...]
[Silver Dealer: Initial order quantity of no less than 200 units...]
[Gold Dealer: Initial order quantity of no less than 500 units...]
[Diamond Dealer: Initial order quantity of over 1000 units...]
Old Zhang looked at the dense terms.
Order quantities, discounts, rebates, regional exclusivity...
Every single point precisely struck the dealers' weak spots.
It was both a carrot and a stick.
He suddenly remembered the years he spent doing business with Wang Fugui.
Back then, they had to beg dealers to take stock.
The price? The dealers decided.
Payment terms? The dealers decided.
Even whether they could collect payment depended on the dealers' mood.
But now...
Star Technology set the rules directly.
Want to get stock?
First, see if you're qualified enough!
"Boss." Guan Yi's voice interrupted Old Zhang's thoughts.
"The core of this system is to have dealers proactively increase their order quantities to achieve higher tiers."
"At the same time, we use regional exclusivity to tie them to our chariot."
"Anyone who dares to cross-market or undercut prices will be disqualified immediately."
Chen Xu only read it once before making the decision.
"Good."
He returned the tablet to Guan Yi.
"Execute it as planned."
He turned to Old Zhang.
"Old Zhang, go now and send this document to all dealers we have worked with, as well as those who have expressed interest in cooperating."
"Don't miss a single one."
Old Zhang took the printed document.
"Understood!"
He took the document and walked quickly out of the office.
Jinling, Yuanda Motors headquarters.
Liu Yuan was pacing back and forth in his office, frustrated.
The "Storm" had been out of stock for over a week.
His distributors were making a fuss every day.
His phone had been blown up.
Just then, the computer made a soft sound.
A new email.
Sender: Xingchen Machinery - Sales Department.
Liu Yuan immediately sat down at the computer.
A stock notification?
He opened the email.
The email body was simple:
[Dear President Liu, thank you for your attention and support for Star Technology. We are now sending you our company's latest channel cooperation policy; please check the attachment. We look forward to meeting you at the Yu City Motorcycle Trade Show. — Star Technology Sales Department]
Channel cooperation policy?
Liu Yuan frowned.
He opened the PDF attachment named "Star Technology Channel Partner Tiered Management System."
On the screen, lines of black terms were clearly listed.
Bronze, Silver, Gold... Diamond.
Order quantity, discount, rebate, regional exclusivity...
Liu Yuan's finger stopped on the mouse.
At first, he was just skimming.
But the more he read, the slower his movements became.
His expression also grew increasingly serious.
When he saw the words "Exclusive agency rights for prefecture-level cities" and "Priority distribution rights for new products" in the [Diamond Dealer] column, he stood up abruptly.
Liu Yuan stared at the screen.
He had been in the vehicle business for twenty years.
He had seen too many manufacturers' dealer policies.
But never had he seen one dare to play like this!
Liu Yuan's gaze landed on the number "1000 units initial order quantity."
Based on the wholesale price of 2,800 per unit for the "Storm."
1,000 units meant 2.8 million!
This was using real money to screen for truly capable partners.
Innumerable thoughts flashed through Liu Yuan's mind instantly.
If he obtained the Diamond agency rights for Jinling...
The entire Jinling market would be his alone!
Other dealerships would have to get their stock from him!
Furthermore, the priority distribution rights for new products...
This meant that every time Star Technology released a new product, he would be the first to get it!
What kind of concept was this?
This was the rhythm of lying down and counting money!
He had to have this position.
