Without even asking, Song Sining registered an official Weibo account for him!
Unbelievable.
Wang Yi searched for "Meiyou Boss Wang," and the number of followers was 1.0271 million, still steadily increasing.
Then he looked at his own personal Weibo, with only 31 followers...
And they were all chaotic zombie followers.
Wang Yi felt a bit disheartened.
He opened the "Meiyou Boss Wang" account and found several mutually followed Weibo accounts, which were:
Meiyou Tech, Meiyou New Products, Meiyou Mall, Meiyou Song Sining, Meiyou Chen Chuanqing, Meiyou Pure Desire Style...
As well as Ye Xiaohe, the official Weibo of "33 Days After Breakup," Du Tianhua, Lin Zixuan, and others.
Song Sining also posted a few Weibo updates for him:
[The first movie I invested in, the results are not bad, with a first-day box office of 41 million!]
[Today's single-day box office is expected to exceed 50 million, keep up the good work, keep pushing!]
[Tomorrow is a good day, Meiyou's offline "double hundred stores" will open simultaneously, everyone is welcome to visit and shop!]
[New products will be launched in a few days, not sure if everyone will like them.]
There were only four Weibo posts, but each one had very high engagement.
Wang Yi sighed and sent a message to Song Sining: [Sining, you've learned to act first and report later!]
Song Sining quickly replied: [Boss, you've got it wrong, everything is for the company's development!]
Wang Yi: [Alright, you handle the operations, I don't have time to deal with it.]
Song Sining: [Okay, I'll operate it myself. Account *** password ***, feel free to operate it yourself when you have time.]
Wang Yi logged into the account and was dumbfounded; his private messages were completely full.
Upon opening them, he found many girls sending him private photos!
All sorts of different scales!
Absolutely amazing.
Wang Yi decisively closed the private messages, out of sight, out of mind.
Private messages for those top celebrities are probably like this, right?
Afterward, Wang Yi opened the Weibo post about the opening of the double hundred stores, which also included the cities and addresses of 200 stores.
The comment section was very lively:
"Even a fourth-tier small city has a Meiyou specialty store, right next to my house!"
"Surprise! Our county town even has a Meiyou authorized store, impressive!"
"Big cities have flagship stores, small cities have specialty stores, and county towns have authorized stores. Meiyou's layout is precise and well-placed!"
"Yeah, it's so convenient, I'm going to the store to buy, buy, buy tomorrow!"
"By the way, why are all two hundred stores in the south, and none in the north?"
"Exactly, Boss Wang is from the north, so partial!"
"Haha, southerners say Boss Wang did a great job!"
"According to unofficial sources, northern specialty stores and authorized stores are in preparation, and Meiyou will launch a large number of autumn new products then!"
"Makes sense, it's already late September. No matter how good the pure desire style dresses are, you can't wear them all the time. The north should be getting autumn clothes!"
"Will Meiyou's autumn collection also surprise people like the pure desire style dresses?"
"Unlikely. The success of the pure desire style dresses cannot be replicated in autumn and winter."
"So, is Meiyou finished?"
"Don't talk nonsense, other brands don't even have the pure desire style, don't they still sell?"
"Exactly, just for Boss Wang, I'll buy Meiyou's clothes!"
"Boss Wang is my male god, from now on I'll only wear Meiyou's clothes! Only use Meiyou's lipsticks!"
"With support from fans like us, Meiyou's autumn collection will sell like hotcakes!"
...
Looking at these comments, Wang Yi's expression was complex.
Is this fan economy?
In his previous life, he scoffed at the fan economy, but now he's exclaiming how wonderful it is!
Just like Dongfang Xuan in his previous life, were consumers really going for their platform?
Didn't other platforms also have the things they sold?
Those people were all going for Xiao Dong!
Dongfang Xuan claimed to resist idol culture, but in reality, they were playing the idol culture game.
If it weren't for Xiao Dong's fans, how many people would frequently buy from them?
Afterward, Wang Yi checked the information for "Bu Bu Jing Xin" again.
It premiered on the 10th with very high ratings.
Without any surprise, Ye Xiaohe became a big hit, and Liu Shishi was also about to become a big hit!
At that time, Meiyou would continue to gain followers and users, and Zhenyou would also surge forward!
Signing these two spokespersons was very cost-effective.
They were also very grateful to Wang Yi, after all, the signing fee Wang Yi gave them was double their original signing price, considered a 100% premium signing.
After signing with Wang Yi, their worth was significantly elevated.
Moreover, it was only an endorsement contract; if they became popular and endorsed other products, they would not be affected or restricted.
The box office on the second day settled at 52 million!
After two days of release, the total box office was 93 million, soon to break 100 million!
Such terrifying speed shocked everyone.
It even surprised Wang Yi a little; this pace far exceeded that of his previous life.
The reason, of course, was Meiyou's promotional help and avoiding two major Hollywood blockbusters; there were truly no competitors.
Meiyou's profit on September 10th was also terrifying, breaking through 35 million!
It could only be said that the traffic brought by "33 Days After Breakup," coupled with trending topic traffic, propelled Meiyou's revenue to a new high.
Next, with the continuous success of "33 Days After Breakup" and Ye Xiaohe, Meiyou's brand awareness and user base would continue to soar!
Revenue and profit would also continue to surge, reaching new heights!
All the previous strategic layouts were now about to bear fruit one by one!
In addition, as Wang Yi expected, the order amount from northern distributors today was only 250 million.
Adding yesterday's 400 million, the total was 650 million.
This translated to a retail sales of over 1.2 billion, with Wang Yi's profit around 400 million.
As of the evening of September 10th, Wang Yi's current available funds reached an unprecedented 1.5 billion!
With funds in place, the layout for Xingyi Mobile could also begin as soon as possible!
Intermediaries were actively searching for industrial parks and had found a few decent ones, but the prices were a bit high.
However, Wang Yi was doing military training every day and had no time to go see them.
He would have to wait until military training ended on the 13th.
The recruitment for the mobile phone business could start early.
With this in mind, Wang Yi sent a message to Song Sining:
[Sining, start recruiting smart phone hardware R&D personnel and software development personnel, work locations: Imperial Capital and Jizhou!]
Buying industrial parks and recruiting people must be pushed forward simultaneously!
For complex businesses like mobile phones, there are usually multiple R&D centers.
Wang Yi planned to set up one R&D center in the Imperial Capital and another in Jizhou.
High-end aspects would be handled by the Imperial Capital R&D center.
Mid-to-low-end aspects would be handled by Jizhou.
In the future, the large Meiyou Technology Park in Jizhou would be perfectly suited to accommodate all mid-to-low-end departments of the mobile phone business.
Wang Yi had already completed the simplified master plan for the first phase of the Meiyou Industrial Park and submitted it to the Jizhou Design Institute.
Once the Design Institute produced a detailed plan, construction could begin.
This matter could not be rushed and could only proceed slowly.
On September 11th, Wang Yi was still undergoing daily military training.
The box office for "33 Days After Breakup" was still booming!
And one hundred Meiyou specialty stores and one hundred Meiyou authorized experience stores in the south all opened simultaneously.
This immediately attracted a crowd of people to shop!
Previously, Meiyou didn't have much brand recognition in the south.
But now, Meiyou had been trending multiple times, gained popularity through "33 Days After Breakup," and had the currently hot spokesperson Ye Xiaohe, along with Wang Yi's "national husband" endorsement!
Meiyou was now popular in the south and nationwide!
Not to mention the specialty stores in urban areas, even the authorized stores in county towns were swamped with customers, bustling like marketplaces.
The staff and managers of the specialty stores, having received Meiyou training, were professional and well-prepared, managing to cope.
Those smaller authorized stores were franchised, not directly affiliated with Meiyou, and did not receive Meiyou training.
They never expected such a terrifying customer flow!
They were immediately overwhelmed!
But the bosses were also completely relieved; for business owners, the busier, the better, the more money earned.
Watching the sales and profits rapidly surge on the Meiyou inventory management system, everyone, whether specialty store managers, authorized store managers, or provincial and city agents, breathed a sigh of relief!
Even for authorized stores, every product sold would be displayed on the inventory management system.
Store managers could only view their own store's data and the rankings of other stores in the same region.
Provincial agents (city agents), on the other hand, could view all sales, profits, inventory within their jurisdiction, as well as the rankings of neighboring provinces (cities)!
All data was clear at a glance, and such an advanced system astonished agents and store managers alike.
The bustling sales even brought smiles to the faces of store managers and agents.
It was completely profitable!
The goods they stocked were absolutely not worried about sales!
They might even sell out ahead of schedule!
Originally, they had stocked about half a month's worth of goods at once, just enough to sell until the end of the month.
But looking at today's momentum, it was estimated to last only about ten days.
At that time, they would have to order the next batch of goods in advance!
However, the more this happened, the faster the return on capital and the higher the profits!
Those agents no longer hesitated and decisively continued to develop their networks and add new authorized stores.
Many business people, seeing the popularity of Meiyou specialty stores, also contacted Meiyou headquarters one after another to apply for franchising Meiyou specialty stores!
A virtuous cycle officially began!
At eleven o'clock at night, the data was released.
Wang Yi looked at the numbers on the inventory management system and smiled.
Today, the first opening of one hundred specialty stores generated a total revenue of 51 million+ yuan, with an average single-store revenue of over 510,000 yuan.
Although it couldn't compare to the 800,000+ yuan of the Jizhou flagship store, it was still very good.
After all, specialty stores were one level below flagship stores.
Total profit was 15.7 million+ yuan, with an average single-store profit exceeding 157,000 yuan!
For a specialty store, deducting all rent, property management, labor, utilities, etc., a daily net profit exceeding 50,000 yuan was considered very impressive.
Let alone 150,000 yuan!
Even if subsequent profits were halved, it would still be over 2 million yuan in profit per month, which was very substantial!
Authorized stores were an even lower tier, with smaller purchasing power, store area, and consequently less revenue and profit.
One hundred authorized stores generated a total revenue of 32 million+ yuan, with an average single-store revenue of 320,000+ yuan.
Total profit was 6.5 million+ yuan, with an average single-store profit of 65,000+ yuan.
For a small authorized store, a gross profit of over 60,000 yuan was also quite rare.
The first day's data was more than just encouraging!
Those provincial and city agents were even more overjoyed!
They immediately picked up their phones, urging other stores in their jurisdictions to decorate and open as soon as possible.
Subsequently, Meiyou would no longer organize unified openings; provincial and city agents would be responsible for themselves, only needing approval.
Meiyou would conduct video reviews, and once approved, provincial and city agents could supply goods, and the stores could open immediately.
Of course, for specialty stores, Meiyou headquarters would still need to send people for on-site audits, and employees would need training, which would be more cumbersome.
After all, specialty stores were directly supplied and managed by Meiyou.
Authorized stores, on the other hand, were supplied and managed by provincial and city agents, with Meiyou only responsible for oversight and approval.
Due to the low threshold, simple decoration, and easy approval for authorized stores, a large number of authorized stores would open every day in the future.
At that time, offline revenue data would also soar rapidly.
Although this portion of revenue was no longer directly related to Meiyou, it had already been harvested in one go during the ordering process.
However, once the inventory of provincial agents, city agents, and specialty stores was exhausted, they would have to place large batch orders again.
At that time, Meiyou would once again make a large profit in one go!
This was the charm of wholesale!
Diligent agents and bosses were already raising funds, preparing to make payments and order goods in advance.
If such a profitable item were to sell out and delay earning money, it would be a losing proposition.
Flagship stores, on the other hand, were directly operated by Meiyou, directly supplied by Meiyou, without needing upfront payment.
The money earned was directly transferred to Meiyou headquarters' account!
Meiyou bore all expenses for flagship stores, including employee salaries, store manager bonuses, etc.
To put it simply, flagship stores were directly operated by Meiyou; the store managers and employees all worked for Meiyou.
September 11th was a weekend, and the box office for "33 Days After Breakup" broke records again, reaching a terrifying 60 million!
After three days of release, the total box office exceeded 153 million!
Over 150 million in three days!
Such terrifying growth left everyone astonished.
Even Wang Yi was shocked.
At this rate, 300 million box office was just the starting point, breaking 500 million was even possible!
Director Du Tianhua was so excited he didn't know what his last name was, practically walking sideways!
A TV director coming to make a movie, hitting a grand slam from the start, it was normal for him to get carried away.
Wang Yi finally understood why later movies like "Up in the Wind" and "Shanghai Fortress" failed so miserably.
It turned out Director Du couldn't resist the temptation of victory!
Wang Yi made up his mind: "This guy's performance is unstable; in the future, I can find him to direct TV series, but movies are absolutely out of the question!"
"The success of '33 Days After Breakup' was just an accident! He's sure to fail with other movies!"
On the evening of September 12th, the day before military training ended.
A group of tanned students sat on the playground, gathered together, watching others perform.
Military training performances in those days were still quite simple, mostly just singing.
It was far less exciting than ten years later, with sexy senior female students performing hot dances and comfort performances!
"Ugh, this damn era!"
Wang Yi sighed, feeling only boredom.
Just then, someone tugged at him from behind, and a waft of fragrant air enveloped him.
Wang Yi turned his head:
"Xuejie."
"Come on, let's go have some fun!"
Jian Ziyan smiled sweetly, looked around to ensure no one was watching, pulled Wang Yi, and ran off!
The two strolled along:
"You've worked hard, xuedi, you'll be done tomorrow."
"It's alright, thanks to the sunscreen you gave me, otherwise I would have gotten tan too."
"Haha, glad it helped."
Jian Ziyan sighed:
"I've been dragged by my professor recently to work on a bankruptcy case. The professor and his team have been working on it for several months, and it's finally going to auction. I only had time to find you today."
"A bankruptcy case? In the Imperial Capital?"
Wang Yi became interested:
"What kind of company?"
Xingyi Technology was currently poised for growth, lacking an industrial park and office buildings.
For such bankrupt enterprises, most of their fixed assets would be auctioned off by the court.
If suitable, they could be acquired at an attractive price.
Just like the price of foreclosed homes, which are generally half of the normal market price, very appealing!
However, if the court is not responsible for vacating foreclosed homes, it can be very troublesome.
For bankrupt companies, there's no need to worry about this.
Officials will handle everything properly, and bankrupt companies only want to escape, not linger.
"Have you heard of Qianghui Electronics?" Jian Ziyan slowly recounted:
"It's a supplier of feature phone accessories, located in the Imperial Capital for many years, with an industrial park and factory, originally quite profitable. But in recent years, with the rise of smartphones and the decline of feature phones, their transformation failed, and they had no choice but to declare bankruptcy!"
"I see."
Wang Yi nodded:
"The rise of every era is a major reshuffle. It's normal for such companies to fail to transform and go bankrupt. After all, even Nokia will be finished in a few years."
"Ah? That's so scary!"
Jian Ziyan was full of disbelief:
"Nokia has been a giant for over 20 glorious years, the absolute hegemon of the mobile phone industry. How could it just go bankrupt?"
Jian Ziyan's view represented a large group of people.
In 2011, many people didn't believe Nokia would be finished.
After all, even in 2011, despite a sharp drop in sales, Nokia was still number one globally.
But a few years later, it cooled off and was acquired!
Wang Yi looked at the starry sky:
"The millstone of time is the most ruthless. Even an industry hegemon, once it runs slowly, will be crushed to dust!"
"Those words are so profound."
Jian Ziyan's beautiful eyes swirled, only feeling that Wang Yi was becoming more and more unfathomable.
"Is there an industrial park?"
Jian Ziyan nodded:
"Yes, in Zhongguancun, the location is quite good. The court-appraised market price is around one billion yuan, but for a judicial auction, the starting bid is only 300 million, and the final transaction price is estimated to be around 400 or 500 million."
"That's quite suitable."
Wang Yi's interest was piqued.
There would definitely be bidders for a 30% discount, and even if it went up to 60% or even 70% of the market price, it would still be a good deal.
After all, it would still save three to four hundred million, and he wouldn't have to pay intermediary fees.
If he used an intermediary, an industrial park with a market price of one billion yuan would at most be cut down to 950 million, and he'd still have to pay nearly 20 million in intermediary fees...
"Xuejie, when is the auction?"
Jian Ziyan was startled:
"Xuedi, you want to buy it?"
"A little interested."
"..."
Jian Ziyan fell silent:
"This is a one-billion-yuan industrial park, it would still cost around 500 million to acquire!"
"Xuedi, could it be that you're so wealthy?"
"No, wait, capable of coming up with 500 million, a freshman at Beihang University, and surnamed Wang!"
Jian Ziyan was utterly bewildered:
"You... you... you are Meiyou Boss Wang!"
Wang Yi smiled faintly, saying nothing, but the meaning was clear.
"Oh my god! The xuedi I welcomed at the start of school is actually Meiyou Boss Wang!"
"Am I... am I... am I dreaming?"
Jian Ziyan was overjoyed, her entire being filled with disbelief.
"Xuedi, no, Boss Wang, I..."
For a moment, Jian Ziyan stammered, unable to speak fluently.
The disparity in their identities became evident at this moment.
"Just call me xuedi."
"Okay."
Jian Ziyan smiled knowingly, understanding that Wang Yi didn't want to be high-profile yet.
It was true; if people knew he was the currently unrivaled "national husband," Meiyou Boss Wang, then Wang Yi probably wouldn't have any peaceful days for the next few years.
Not to mention the girls from Beihang University looking for him, even girls from other schools on Xueyuan Road might come looking for him!
"Xuedi, the judicial auction is on the 15th. I'll organize the detailed information about the industrial park for you later!"
