Go back to the past to be the fishing king

Chapter 102 Partner (4k)

At this time point in 2012, although the People’s Fishing Forum was not a huge website, it had more than 30 registered members, more than 3000 active users, and the highest number of simultaneous online users was more than [-].

So many registered members are basically fishing enthusiasts who like to surf the Internet, and they can be described as potential customers with accurate labels.

Wu Tianming was in full charge of Zhang Yang's product sales on the forum website, and even if he was just trying it out, he had generated very considerable sales.

Zhang Yang's main new product was put on the shelves in just ten days. More than 2000 copies of wild fishing nest wine rice were sold, more than 1000 packs of black pit carp formula bait, and more than 800 bottles of secret brown sugar paste.

These are not the big ones. Because of the fact that crucian carp was famous for flying and copying it earlier, fishing friends on forums have a higher degree of recognition of Zhang Yang’s own formula nest material and hand food for fishing crucian carp.

Even if the local fishing friends do not have such a fast fish situation in Happy Forest, they still sold more than 2000 packs of nest materials and 1500 copies of formula bait for breeding crucian carp during this period.

Zhang Yang roughly calculated the sales flow in the recent period after organizing production and delivery.

Just one direction of forum sales alone, the sales reached 190000+. If you include Xinda’s physical channel sales and the distribution of goods in Laowu’s store, the total sales exceeded 20 for the first time.

The sales of 20 yuan, of which the secret brown sugar paste alone contributed almost one-third,

The profit margin of Xiaoyao is extremely high, and the overall gross profit margin of product sales is at least 70%.

Even if the forum administrator and Wu Tianming each took more than ten points of dividends, after deducting the costs and losses of various circulation links, Zhang Yang got at least 40% or more.

By opening up a channel, Zhang Yang earned at least 10 yuan just for ordinary fishing friends to try it out!

Looking at the six-figure balance of the amount received in the text message on the mobile phone, Zhang Yang was still a little confused even though he was mentally prepared.

It's just that someone else found me to cooperate and sold some of their own products on the forum. In just ten days, they made a profit of 10 yuan?
Zhang Yang runs a fishing tackle shop every day, leaving early and returning late at night. He is busy with tying hooks and tying lines, with an average sales of more than 1000 yuan and less than 2000 yuan a day.

Calculating the net profit is a few hundred, just over 2 yuan a month.

In contrast, it is much easier for Zhang Yang to carry out production and provide formulated products for downstream supply.

There are only a few thousand packs of bait. With the mixing machine, two people, father and mother, can easily complete the production work.

The efficiency of this money-making, the gap is too big!

Zhang Yang now finally understands why those people in his previous life had sharpened their heads to go after fishing competitions and fight for fame. Why does a fishing net red with hundreds of thousands of fans always bring an assistant with him when he goes out, and drive a big G, Land Rover, Land Cruiser too.

Behind the glamor of Internet celebrities and celebrities is the terrifying speed of making money in the traffic era, which is not in the same dimension as the current miserable little fishing gear owner.

Only small fish and shrimp can be caught in the river ditch. If you want to catch big fish, you have to go to big rivers.

The income from this accidental development of forum sales channels not only allowed Zhang Yang to make money, but also changed his thinking from small farmers to industrial scale production.

……

With money in hand, besides being confident, it also allows Zhang Yang to see wider and have time to think about more things.

I have already experienced the powerful publicity of the 2.0 version of the money-making model, and my thinking has diverged at a high speed.

A few forum posts in the area showed their faces, and a moderator strongly promoted it. In just over half a month of fermentation, thousands of copies of the product were sold.

If you try to implement channels such as Diaoyou QQ Space, WeChat Moments, Official Accounts, and Online Taobao, how much advertising and publicity will it produce?

Zhang Yang himself has superb fishing skills that are ahead of the current time node, and has an upgraded follow-up product plan. What he lacks is content output like forum posts.

After all, isn’t it just to find a photographer like Xiao Qin, then process and produce the content of his fishing, and spread it to websites, platforms, forums and other places where free traffic can be obtained online?
Previously, Zhang Yang started from scratch and ran a fishing tackle shop and needed to accumulate capital for the time being. Now that he has successfully obtained his first pot of gold, he can just use this money as the original capital to do a big job.

With a relatively specific direction in his mind, Zhang Yang immediately sorted it out one by one.

I am a master at the technical level, so I don't need to spend a lot of money to learn and hone it.

With the funds, what is lacking is the specific implementation of the staff.

Going it alone is definitely not enough. It has neither efficiency nor fault tolerance. If you want to do this kind of thing well, you must form a team.

The moment he had this thought, Zhao Bingguang's name immediately appeared in Zhang Yang's mind.

Do you want to get Lao Zhao to partner?

Others have their own jobs, and they can fish together in their spare time if they have a good relationship, but they may not agree to start a business.

Old Zhao is different. He has money and leisure. The key is that he completed the primitive accumulation early and has seen various markets.He is very principled in his behavior and actions, and is an ideal partner.

I just don't know if Lao Zhao is willing to join!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang decisively took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Bingguang.

The ring rang for a long time before the other party picked it up. Old Zhao's hearty voice came from the phone.

"Hello? Xiao Zhang, are you looking for me?"

"Brother Zhao, what are you busy with? Are you free? Come to the store and talk to you about something!"

"I'm stealing donkeys in Happy Forest. Yesterday's fish farm was not good. Today there are more than ten donkeys. The fishing is not bad. I went ashore after nine o'clock!
Talk about something?In a hurry?Can't talk on the phone? "

"Let's come here in person! It's business, don't worry!"

"Okay, I'll finish the shot and go back. I'll go to the shop in an hour at most. I'll boil the water in advance. I'll be in the sun all morning. I'm thirsty!"

"it is good!"

At 55:[-], Zhao Bingguang's crv arrived at the door of Zhang Yang's shop.

Old Zhao was wearing sun protection clothing, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He entered the door with a relaxed expression, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"What's the idea? Can't you say it on the phone?"

Old Zhao stretched out a chair and sat down, and poured himself a cup of hot tea unceremoniously.

Zhang Yang organized his speech, and said very solemnly: "I plan to start a fishing tackle company, and I want to get you to partner!"

"Fishing tackle company? Didn't I help you register a while ago? Why do you want me to be a partner? If you are short of money, I can get you some and start a company together. I'm not very interested!"

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Lao Zhao was a little confused, and he didn't keep up with Zhang Yang's thinking at all.

Zhang Yang shook his head: "I am not short of money for the time being! I am short of people, to be precise, I am short of independent and trustworthy partners!
In the past half month, I have expanded the online business on the fishing forum, and the harvest has far exceeded expectations..."

Zhang Yang didn't hide it either, and directly talked to Zhao Bingguang about the approximate shipment revenue in the recent period, as well as his own follow-up development ideas.

At first, Lao Zhao didn't take it seriously, the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became, and he even forgot to drink the tea he just poured.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Lao Zhao thought for a while and concluded, "Are you going to form a team, shoot phishing video content, and then get network traffic to sell?"

As expected of an old Zhao who has seen the world, he summed up Zhang Yang's thoughts in a single sentence.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes! Through the recent cooperation in the forum, I found that the content output of other colleagues is extremely limited, and we still have an advantage in fishing technology!

The quality of the items is fine, and it is not difficult to sell them!And the further you get to the back, the easier it will be after the snowball rolls! "

"Why me? You don't need to shy away too much when chatting with you. Partnership business is hard to do, and few of them can end well! You know me, I'm not short of money!" Zhao Bingguang continued to ask.

Zhang Yang grinned: "Because partnership business is not easy to do, you need to be careful in choosing partners!
It is one thing not to be short of money, but if you can earn money by doing what you like, why not do it!

In my opinion, domestic fishing is still very primitive now, and there is a lot of room for development!

Imagine that ten years later, you are the boss of a well-known fishing tackle company,
If you need to launch a new product, you can arrange your professionals to develop the most advanced fishing rod and fishing tackle, and you can try it immediately!

Need to promote the market, advertise the brand, you can organize a nationwide competition with a single thought...

We can also set up a fishing club, train a bunch of fishing masters, and compete in major fishing competitions everywhere.

The people under your command take fishing kings and super fishing masters, you pay them wages, and they call you boss..."

Zhao Bingguang thought along Zhang Yang's way of thinking, and he really had a little more uncontrollable expectation.

I like fishing, and my business is also fishing. Hearing what Zhang Yang said, it seems to be pretty good.

"Damn it, are you bewitching me!!" Zhao Bingguang took a sip from his teacup, and forcibly threw all these missing images out of his mind.

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head: "How can this be considered deception! I am confident that within ten years, all of these will become reality!

Ma Yuhua is usually such an awesome character. It is said that the honorary certificates in the store can't be displayed, so he will stop eating when he meets me!Just ask you if our fishing ground dominance works, right?
At that time, I will be in charge of the outside world, and you will be in charge of the inside. Let's partner up and start the company's business. There is a lot to do! "

"I need to go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law!" Zhao Bingguang did not readily agree.

"Okay! I'll wait for your good news!"

"You! I don't know how your brain grows. You are only in your early twenties, but you can see such long-term things!
In fact, without me, you can do this by yourself, it’s no problem! ! "Old Zhao expressed his feelings.

"Age doesn't mean anything, some people live to be eighty, and their brains are still not enlightened!

It is true that you can be without you in the initial stage. When the business develops to a certain stage, I will still fight alone?
Now I produce bait at home, all on the mixer!How many times is that efficiency higher than the bait I had in the shop?
Developing and drawing on the strength of the team is the consciousness that should be had to do great things! "

Zhao Bingguang was speechless.

……

After some open and honest exchanges, it was soon time for dinner. Zhang Yang and Lao Zhao went out and found a place at a fly restaurant on the street. After eating and drinking enough, Lao Zhao said hello and drove away.

Zhang Yang looked at the back of Old Zhao Xiaoche thoughtfully.

Based on my understanding of Lao Zhao, he should be tempted by the invitation to join the gang!

……

Zhang Yang didn't know that on the way home, Zhao Bingguang had already started thinking about Zhang Yang's partnership proposal.

From the first time we met this young man, Lao Zhao felt different from others.

Leaving aside the technical aspects of fishing, Zhao Bingguang gave him a very high evaluation in terms of his behavior and business vision.

It has been five years since Zhao Bingguang decided to transfer the store business in Commodity City.

In the past five years, Lao Zhao has basically lived leisurely and happily like a fairy, fishing when the weather is suitable, and finding a place to play cards when the poles are closed in winter.

The annual generous rental income is enough to cover his daughter's studies, family expenses and daily consumption, which gives him the confidence to live a life of almost financial freedom.

But is this kind of life really his ultimate pursuit?

The state of mind five years ago has changed a lot from now.

What about another five years?What about ten years?When I get old, will I regret that I have been like a rice bug in my life and have done nothing but pay rent?
The power of time is terrifying.

During the conversation in the store, Zhang Yang described many possibilities, but he didn't know which sentence it was, and quietly threw a stone into Zhao Bingguang's heart lake, making the originally calm lake ripple slightly.

When he parked the car and returned home, Zhao Bingguang still hesitated a bit, but he said this to his wife and got her full support.

"Old Zhao, in fact, seeing you leisurely floating outside every day, I have always been a little guilty.

We have just passed forty, and we are in the prime of life. We have no academic qualifications, no strong personal connections, and what we have is just hard work in the early years and a little bit of luck to have a foundation in our hands.

If we are just greedy for enjoyment, without any improvement in survival skills, in another three to five years, the little things we know will be eliminated by society!In case something happens to our family one day, we will lose the foundation of our life!What to do then?
I think what you said is reliable!If you decide to do it, I support you! "

Looking at his wife's firm eyes, Zhao Bingguang gritted his teeth and did it!
In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Zhao called Zhang Yang back and agreed to join, but the share ratio, investment amount, and cooperation details still need to be discussed.

Seeing that Lao Zhao agreed to join the gang, Zhang Yang was also very happy, and he had the skeleton to form a team.

The next day, Lao Zhao came to Zhang Yang's store again. After a series of full communication, the final result was that Lao Zhao invested 10 yuan, accounting for 30% of the company's shares.

After the company's team was set up, Lao Zhao served as the company's general manager, responsible for the company's personnel recruitment, daily operations, and affairs management.

And Zhang Yang is responsible for product development, production, company development direction formulation, follow-up promotion and other work.

After a series of formalities and filing changes, Zhang Yang was finally no longer a bare-bones commander. Team building was the biggest step forward.
