Just after Zhang Yi finished the call, his phone received a message. It was from the bank, indicating that his account had received 400,000 yuan.
This was clearly sent by Huang Xiru, giving him an additional 400,000 yuan in capital. This way, he could rent a large factory building as soon as possible, without having to wait for Zhu Gang's batch of parts to be delivered and the money to be in place before discussing the factory rental.
So Zhang Yi immediately headed towards the Development Zone office. He couldn't wait another moment. However, to his disappointment, the Office Director of the Development Zone, Zhang Zhuo, was not in the Development Zone today. He had gone out for something and wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Helpless, Zhang Yi could only wait until tomorrow to discuss the factory rental with him.
Since Zhou Tai City and Hang City, the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province, were only a few hours' drive apart, even a cargo truck could arrive within a few hours. Therefore, by the evening, Huang Xiru finally saw the Aerodynamic Bicycles produced by Zhang Yi.
When she saw the physical Aerodynamic Bicycles, all her worries vanished without a trace. This was because she saw that these Aerodynamic Bicycles were much more beautiful than what she had seen in the photos. They completely surpassed the appearance of all electric bikes on the market, even those in her own store.
It's important to know that the electric bikes in her store were all high-end brands, priced more than double that of ordinary electric bikes, with the lowest being over 5,000 yuan. So their appearance was naturally much better than other ordinary electric bikes.
But compared to the Aerodynamic Bicycles Zhang Yi sent, the difference was like that between an ugly duckling and a swan.
So Huang Xiru immediately ordered the store employees to unload these Aerodynamic Bicycles. While they were unloading, it was already evening, and there were many pedestrians on the road.
Because the appearance of these Aerodynamic Bicycles was very beautiful, many young people were attracted to them while they were being unloaded and came to inquire about the price. However, after she stated the price of these bicycles, many people were startled. It's important to know that the appearance of these Aerodynamic Bicycles was somewhat similar to ordinary bicycles. If not told, many people wouldn't know that these bicycles were Aerodynamic Bicycles.
Since the store where the goods were being unloaded was very close to Queen's Square, there was no shortage of wealthy people here. So many people didn't think the price was expensive. After all, the lowest price of the electric bikes in this store had already exceeded 5,000 yuan, not to mention that these bicycles were such novel products.
That evening, this batch of one hundred Aerodynamic Bicycles was sold directly, with over 80 units being sold during the unloading process. The remaining bicycles were not sold, but it wasn't because no one wanted them; on the contrary, many people still wanted to buy them.
However, Huang Xiru chose not to sell these 20 units directly but decided to keep them. Firstly, this batch of over one hundred Aerodynamic Bicycles was the first batch of products from Zhang Feng's Seven Color Stone Mechanical Factory. If the product became popular in the future, then this batch of products would definitely have significant collection value.
Secondly, she had so many stores in Hang City, and each store would definitely keep a few units as samples, or even for test rides. That's why she didn't sell these 20 units.
However, when selling these two models of Aerodynamic Bicycles, Huang Xiru felt that the price of these two models was a bit low. It's important to know that when the goods arrived, it was already evening. If it had been daytime, she was sure that these one hundred bicycles would not have been enough for her to sell in a day.
Huang Xiru was also very excited about how popular this product was in Hang City. So she immediately picked up her phone and called Zhang Yi: "Xiao Yi, Huang Jie has good news for you. Your bicycles are very popular in Hang City. In just one evening, this batch of one hundred Aerodynamic Bicycles you sent this morning has already been sold by me, 80 units. As for the remaining 20 units, if I hadn't stopped them, they would have definitely been swept away.
So, Xiao Yi! Congratulations, if the performance of this Aerodynamic Bicycle you invented is good, then it will definitely become a big hit in Hang City in the future. If it weren't for the fact that Huang Jie knows your personality, then Huang Jie would definitely want to get involved.
Also, Xiao Yi, when will the next batch of these bicycles be shipped? This time, I want five hundred units first. I know you don't have more. I hope you can ship them earlier.
However, Xiao Yi, I think the selling price of your Aerodynamic Bicycle is a bit low. So, I think the price of this bicycle should be raised a bit." Huang Xiru said to Zhang Yi on the other end of the phone after he answered.
"Huang Jie! Since this bicycle has just been developed, it is currently in the trial production stage, and the production capacity is very limited. The maximum daily output is only around forty to fifty units. So, the five hundred units you need will take at least ten to fifteen days to manufacture.
But Huang Jie, don't worry, I am currently setting up a factory to prepare for large-scale production. I think small-scale production should be possible next month. After all, although I was very confident in the Aerodynamic Bicycle I developed before.
But there are always exceptions. If this Aerodynamic Bicycle is not recognized by the market, then even if something has good performance, it won't make money. That's why I didn't proceed with mass production. Now that I've heard from you, Huang Jie, I have the confidence to prepare to set up a factory and prepare for large-scale production of this bicycle.
As for the price, Huang Jie, I think the price of this bicycle is about right at this level. After all, this is a new concept bicycle, and people don't have much concept of this kind of bicycle yet. If the price is too high, it is very likely to scare away a large number of people. I think this price is very suitable." Zhang Yi said.
"Okay! If you say it's suitable, then it's suitable! Anyway, I'm satisfied with such a large profit per bicycle. After all, compared to the few hundred yuan profit from electric bikes, this profit is already very large.
Also, Xiao Yi, you need to proceed with large-scale production quickly. Not to mention other places, Huang Jie is sure that even the demand from Hang City alone will not be small." After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Huang Xiru no longer objected to the price Zhang Yi had set.
Just at this moment, before Zhang Yi could say anything, Huang Xiru spoke again: "Xiao Yi, you are currently setting up a factory and preparing for large-scale production. I don't know if your funds are sufficient. How about this, I'll give you the payment for these five hundred units first. Don't refuse. I know you need money right now. But I need the sole agency for Hang City." Huang Xiru knew a little about Zhang Yi's family affairs. After all, Zhang Yi had worked in her store for such a long time. Although she knew that Zhang Yi's family was not poor, they were not the kind of family that could casually take out a few million to set up a factory.
Moreover, this amount of money might be a huge sum for Zhang Yi, but for her, Huang Xiru, it was just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning in her eyes. And the sooner Zhang Yi's factory was set up and the sooner this Aerodynamic Bicycle was produced, the sooner she could make money.
