Chapter 538 After-sales Concerns
Su Yunjie couldn't wait to take off the Shanghai-brand watch on his wrist.
I changed into this H4 sports electronic watch on the spot.
"Hey... How do I activate this? There's no words on it."
There are many buttons on the electronic watch. Su Yunjie fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't light up the electronic watch. There was still no word on the display screen.
Lu Ye also studied it, and soon he found a small piece of protruding plastic on the back of the electronic watch.
This is used to isolate the button battery inside the electronic watch to prevent the electronic watch from wasting power before it is sold.
Lu Ye pulled out the plastic gasket and pressed the button on the side. After two or three seconds, a green light lit up on the screen of the electronic watch.
Numbers were also displayed on the screen.
"Here, there is a plastic gasket. Pull it out and press this button, and that's it." Lu Ye taught Su Yunjie next to him how to use the electronic watch correctly.
Su Yunjie followed Lu Ye's method, and after a series of operations, the electronic watch on his hand also successfully lit up.
“It’s on…it’s on.”
"This thing is really good. It's high-tech. It directly displays the time, accurate to the second. Look..."
Su Yunjie was obviously very satisfied with this electronic watch.
He liked it so much that he even liked it more than the Shanghai brand watch in his pocket, which was worth nearly ten times more.
"Oh, by the way, you all should come over and learn. We need to know how to start it first so we can tell customers how to use it."
"Come here... Come here, I'll teach you first."
Su Yunjie was also learning and applying the knowledge on the spot, teaching the usage methods to the sales staff in the hall.
Lu Ye fiddled with the electronic watch in his hand, and soon he realized another problem.
Electronic watches consume electricity. Once the internal battery runs out of power, it must be replaced. However, it is still a question whether this type of button battery is sold in Binjiang and whether it is common.
If not, customers who buy their electronic watches will soon encounter major problems that will prevent them from continuing to use them.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye called Su Yunjie and said, "Yunjie, go find a small screwdriver and remove the back cover of this watch."
Su Yunjie was puzzled: "It's a good electronic watch, why are we taking it apart?"
"Take off the back cover and check the battery inside. Can you find it for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative or the supermarket?"
"What if the supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls don't have this kind of battery? Then once the watch runs out of power, it will become a decoration!" Lu Ye reminded.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunjie immediately understood the huge problem.
"That's true. Fortunately you thought of it, otherwise there might be problems after selling it. Okay, I'll go find a screwdriver and take a look."
Su Yunjie didn't have time to continue admiring the electronic watch on his hand. He hurried back to the office to look for a screwdriver.
As the last box of electronic watches was moved into the exhibition hall.
Li Mingzhu's inventory work is basically finished.
The low-end D1 model electronic watch costs a total of 7000 yuan, the mid-range Z3 model electronic watch costs a total of 2000 yuan, and the high-end H4 model electronic watch costs a total of 1000 yuan.
It’s an electronic watch worth exactly ten thousand yuan.
"Mr. Lu, each box here is marked with the model and quantity. I just checked and the numbers are correct, exactly ten thousand yuan." Li Mingzhu reported to Lu Ye.
"Okay, leave some for display and put the rest into storage." Lu Ye said.
"Okay, I'll ask everyone to move in." Li Mingzhu responded and began to carry out Lu Ye's instructions.
In his office, Su Yunjie quickly opened the back cover of the electronic watch and found the silver button battery inside.
"Why does this battery look like this?" Su Yunjie took the battery and looked at it carefully.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a battery with such a strange shape.
There is no problem with the goods and the quantity is correct.
Lu Ye came out of the exhibition hall and went straight to Su Yunjie's office.
"How about it?"
"I opened it, look."
Su Yunjie showed Lu Ye the button battery he had just taken out.
"Why does this battery look like this? This is the first time I've seen it. I'm afraid it won't be easy to buy." Su Yunjie said
"Have someone take this battery and go to several supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls to ask if they have it," Lu Ye said.
Su Yunjie heard this and said with some worry:
"Forget it, I'll go by myself. Electronic watches are our next big sales item, so we can't let anything go wrong."
"That's fine." Lu Ye replied.
In fact, this type of button battery is still very popular in later generations. It can be sold in any watch repair shop at a reasonable price.
It’s just that the domestic production capacity is insufficient now, and there are few products that use button batteries like this one, so no one can be sure whether they are sold outside.
Su Yunjie took the button battery he had removed and rushed to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
Lu Ye returned to his office.
Longzi and Kunzi had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Lu Ye return, Longzi asked:
"Mr. Lu, have you counted the goods? Are there any problems?"
"There's no problem at all. The whole team is here, and nothing is damaged." Lu Ye said with a smile.
"That's good. Since there is no problem with the goods, we brothers are ready to say goodbye." Longzai said.
"Don't be impatient, Brother Long. I want to ask you, are the batteries in the electronic watches produced by your factory, or are they imported from other factories?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that after the electronic watch is sold, the battery will run out of power. If I can't find a replacement battery, that will be troublesome." Lu Ye said.
"Our factory also imported this kind of battery from other factories. You should ask our boss about the specific situation. We are just the people working at the bottom, so we are not very clear about the details." Longzai said.
"Okay." Lu Ye nodded.
Longzai and Kunzai took Lu Ye's money, and neither of them wanted to stay here any longer.
After saying goodbye to Lu Ye, he drove the big truck back to Guangzhou without stopping.
Su Yunjie went to three supply and marketing cooperatives in a row, but couldn't find this kind of button battery anywhere.
Su Yunjie, not giving up, went to the department store that was known for having the most complete range of goods.
Here, Su Yunjie finally found the same button battery.
But the price of 2 yuan per piece is really not cheap.
Su Yunjie, who found the same battery, told Lu Ye about his discovery.
"Look at this, it's just a small battery, and it only sells for two dollars. How much does our low-end electronic watch sell for?" Su Yunjie handed the newly bought battery to Lu Ye for inspection.
Lu Ye carefully compared the battery removed from the electronic watch with the battery Su Yunjie had just bought.
Lu Ye soon discovered that although the two button batteries were exactly the same in size and shape, the letters engraved on the back of the batteries were completely different.
This shows that the two batteries are not produced by the same manufacturer.
"Mr. Qi's electronics factory is in Yangcheng. He probably buys his products from a nearby battery factory, so his purchase price shouldn't be too expensive."
"Well, let me ask Mr. Qi first and see what he says."
"In my opinion, since this type of battery is not popular in Binjiang and the price is high, we can also find the source of supply ourselves. Even if this thing does not make money, we have to do this in order to sell electronic watches." Lu Ye said.
"You're right. The profit margin of electronic watches is so huge. We can't let it hold us back because of a battery." Su Yunjie responded.
