Chapter 631 Are you crazy?
Lu Heng could see the vast potential of the Guizhou market, and so could people like Duan Jiaming, so he spent a lot of effort cultivating influence in Guizhou early on.
In 2006, six 4S stores opened at the same time. In the past year, we have successively found two or three agents. Logically speaking, there are enough.
But as a large province, Guizhou is different from municipalities like Chongqing. It has four prefecture-level cities alone, such as Guiyang, Liupanshui, Zunyi, and Anshun. In addition to these, due to the concentration of ethnic minorities, it also has three autonomous prefectures.
There are as many as county-level cities in the two regions.
It can be said that every area can be divided into a first-level agent, and now the only area that Duan Jiaming can save as an agent is Guiyang City, the capital city of Guizhou Province.
"Due to road traffic, we got news that Guiyang will implement a number restriction policy like Beijing and Shanghai in the future, so many dealers are waiting and watching. If Mr. Lu wants to put his mind to Guiyang, he will have to put in some effort.
Well, there are automobile cities being planned in Huaxi District and Qingzhen District in Guiyang, but I think it will take too long, so I suggest Mr. Lu consider going to Yunnan or Sichuan. I can also provide you with a good agent.
area."
Duan Jiaming suggested this and spoke sincerely. It can be seen that he sincerely considers Lu Heng.
However, Lu Heng has his own plans. This time, the agency for GAC Toyota is not just a car brand, it is also related to his strategic development plan for Guizhou.
Chery Automobile enters the market as a low-end product, and Toyota Automobile is a mid-to-high-end model to capture profits. If development goes smoothly, Lu Heng will also choose to represent several high-end brand models, such as Audi and Mercedes-Benz, which are famous cars in the eyes of the world.
By then, Lu Heng's Guizhou strategy would have been roughly achieved. Hengcheng Group's sales models cover low, middle and high grades, with indiscriminate development and a wide range of profit sources.
But now Lu Heng will not tell Duan Jiaming, he just strengthens his own thoughts.
"Let's go to Huaxi District in Guiyang. I'm very optimistic about the development of Huaxi International Automobile Trade City. If we can open a few 4S stores there, I think we can make a fortune."
"Hey, does Mr. Lu know about Huaxi International Automobile Trade City? As far as I know, this place has not been officially built yet. Few people from other provinces know about it." Duan Jiaming looked at Lu Heng curiously. As far as he knew, Huaxi International in Huaxi
The Automobile Trade City is still under construction, and the main automobile supermarket has not yet been completed. It will take at least a few months!
Lu Heng shrugged, "In this business, you must know more about the market. For example, I would choose to open a branch in Yuanchuan Automobile City in Chongqing. I will pay attention to places with a little potential."
Seeing Lu Heng's determined look, Duan Jiaming stopped pressing him. He just wanted to ensure that Lu Heng's current qualifications and future development would not undermine the current development trend of GAC Toyota.
"Okay, then it's settled. Mr. Lu can start the site selection and personnel recruitment. I will arrange other matters such as 4S store decoration and personnel training."
Lu Heng hesitated and said: "There is no need to report to the manufacturer. They have agreed. Should I start the work again?"
Duan Jiaming waved his hand and smiled boldly.
"Mr. Lu has underestimated me. I can just make my own decision as an agent. The manufacturer will not interfere with me. You can just rest assured and make preliminary preparations and try to open the store within three months."
"Okay, since Mr. Duan is quick to talk to people, I will trust you once and I will recruit people as soon as possible. However, professional training needs to be carefully arranged by Mr. Duan."
The matter was settled like this. One of them was determined and the other was happy to see it happen. It would be no exaggeration to say that they hit it off right away.
But for Duan Jiaming, it might just be a matter of one sentence, but for Lu Heng, it would take a lot of work.
It was also at this time that Lu Heng truly realized how short of manpower he was, and became even more urgent about the establishment of Hengcheng Group, which was left to Tian Xiaobing.
But there are some things that really can't be rushed. Tian Xiaobing is still trying to find a suitable location for the group's office, and he won't be able to confirm it for a while.
Lu Heng could only do what he could unilaterally do.
After making a phone call in Beijing, Lu Heng began to recruit people for his staff in Guizhou.
"Hey, is this my cousin? I'm Lu Heng!"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. It had the unique magnetic voice of a middle-aged man, and it was as tingling as stubble rubbing his face.
"Lu Heng, I'm calling you so late because of the people you want to recruit! I've identified some candidates for you, and I'll send my resume to your email later!"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Uncle, this matter is not urgent. I may need your help here."
"explain!"
"In addition to the person I originally asked to recruit, please help me find another person who is qualified to be the general manager of the Toyota 4S store. The office address is in Guizhou. The annual salary is around 200,000, and bonuses are negotiable. There are only two requirements.
If you have rich experience and can sign a long-term contract, the term must be at least three years. Except for force majeure factors, the right to terminate the contract is on my side."
The uncle in Lu Heng's mouth paused for a moment, and then he said hesitantly for a while: "It's easy to find a person like this, and the conditions you gave are very fair. It's just that you didn't ask me to find someone who can get it to the Chery 4S store."
The manager? Why are you looking for the general manager of the Toyota 4S store so quickly?"
There was curiosity, doubt in the tone, and more of it was testing.
Lu Heng didn't listen carefully. Anyway, he was in Chongqing now. If he wanted to find someone, he really had to find this man.
Lin Hai was the cousin of Lin Su's father Lin Sen. Lin Su called him cousin or uncle. Lu Heng, the other half of the Lin family, simply called him cousin because it was more intimate anyway.
On Lin Su's last birthday, Lu Heng was sitting at the host's table, and Lin Hai happened to be at the table. It was then that Lu Heng met him.
Lin Hai currently works in a high-level headhunting company in Beijing, holding an upper-middle-level position. Compared to Lin Sen, it is naturally not a good job, but compared to ordinary people, it is actually not bad.
Considering that he would need many talents for the future development of his company, Lu Heng got in touch with him and would contact him every now and then.
The establishment of Hengcheng Group this time required many senior management talents, so Lu Heng, who was not very busy, had no choice but to call him and ask for help.
At the same time, the two most important general manager candidates in Guizhou can only be left to Lin Hai.
"Uncle, I have obtained the agency qualification of GAC Toyota again. I am short of manpower, so I can only turn to you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, accompanied by slight breathing, as if he was a little unresponsive to Lu Heng's news.
A minute later, the question that spanned half of China surfaced.
"Are you planning to open two companies in Guizhou at the same time? Are you crazy?"
ps: Some place names and market names in the book can be ignored, because this is a fantasy novel with a little bit of realism, but it cannot be completely realistic. Therefore, if some markets are ahead of schedule, there is no need to be realistic, as long as it does not affect the smooth reading.
