Chapter 43 Scooter and Bike Syndrome 1
Dada da da da!
Two white scooters were running.
It was Gardna, a blonde beauty with a helmet on her head, and Luna, a female secretary.
I learned about scooters while receiving basic training at a circuit called Zeus Bike Company.
In just an hour, I was able to ride a 50cc scooter, albeit a little clumsy.
It was so easy and quick to learn.
However, on the road where cars run, it is very dangerous with this level of skill.
That’s why I had to learn the basics while riding a scooter for a week.
In preparation for an accident, it was good to wear a helmet on the head, gloves, and even wearing special shoes that do not slip well.
It was very fun to ride the scooter because I was driving the circuit while driving it myself.
This was a common thing that everyone felt when riding a scooter.
Minjun has prepared a circuit where he can run at a proper speed, but he has also prepared several courses to learn the basics of the scooter.
It was like taking a driver’s license test.
However, in this world, cars were made and sold, but they did not have these facilities.
That’s why the Zeus Bike Company and the circuit were special.
“Oh, it’s so much fun.”
“Girl, it’s really fun.”
“I know.”
Blonde beauty Gardna and female secretary Luna each rode their scooters and ran the circuit with excitement.
It hasn’t even been a month since I started selling scooters.
Nevertheless, it has already sold 5,632 units to the port city of Trena.
Of course, this also included scooters purchased by employees.
However, it was a huge sale in a short period of time.
They were selling more than 200 units a day on average.
More than 500 people a day came to buy scooters.
It went viral and was very popular.
Surprisingly, there were also people from other nearby cities coming to get information and see.
“Oh, what about that car?”
In the eyes of the blonde beauty Gardna, she saw Zeus, a black SUV, parked in the parking lot next to the entrance to the Zeus Bike Company building.
“My lady, be careful.”
“Oh sorry.”
Gardna, the blond beauty who quickly came to her senses and slowed her pace, looked at the back of Min-jun in a suit as he got out of the car and entered the building.
“Ah, he’s handsome and cool.”
“·······”
Minjun entered the president’s office, took off his suit and hung it on a hanger, then sat down in the office chair.
I opened and read various reports and nodded my head.
“I was expecting it, but scooters are selling like crazy.”
Just a few days ago, they were selling an average of over 200 units a day.
But as word of mouth spread, more people showed interest.
And many people from other nearby cities also came to sign contracts and went back.
As a result, more than 500 scooters were sold in one day.
Yesterday, scooter sales exceeded 1,000 units for the first time.
As the supply of scooters increased rapidly in the port city of Trena, everyone bought some.
It has sold more than 12,500 scooters so far.
Min-Jun mobilized 100 6D printers to produce various parts of the scooter in large quantities so that there would be no setbacks in delivering the scooters to customers.
1,000 male robot Adam and 1,000 female robot Eve were assembled and completed, so it was very reassuring.
“Now we have to introduce a new bike model.”
The 125cc business scooter Hera and the 125cc bike Rich, designed with the motif of the Honda Cub, were assembled and completed.
Each could run at 100 km/h.
“I have to introduce new models every six months so that I don’t get bored. It’s a bit early, especially this time.”
Broadly speaking, there are two new models, but if you go into detail, the number of colors increases significantly.
Even if it is the same design, if the color is changed, the image or feeling will change greatly.
I did a performance test using a virtual program, and it passed with a simple pass.
As a result, Min-jun ordered to add 100 male robot Adams and 100 female robot Eves, and professionally assemble the new model.
These were not to be shown right away, but were prepared in advance to be shown in about a month.
Existing scooters were popular and selling well, so there was no need to rush into launching new models.
I thought about the consignment sales contract proposed by the blonde beauty Gardna.
Anything can be sold in the port city of Trena and nearby cities, but the story is different for other provinces.
In order to sell nationwide in the Ride Bureau, the scooters had to be transported and a sales office had to be set up.
That’s why if Min-joon was trying to do it all by himself, it would take a lot of time and he would not be able to do it.
“Hmm, I think it would be wiser to sell the port city of Trena and nearby cities, and to sell to other regions and the whole country through consignment sales.”
The problem was the terms of the consignment sales contract.
I thought about how to give Minjun an advantage.
“The selling price of each scooter is 500,000 Bain, so we can give it a 20% discount and sell it on consignment for 400,000 Bain. Then the other party will set the price on their own and charge more.”
I sold it for 400,000 bain anyway with a 20% discount to the employees.
The original cost was not much, but the more you sold, the more you could make a huge profit.
So far, sales have exceeded about 7 billion won by selling various equipment such as scooters, helmets and gloves.
Even after deducting various expenses, 6 billion vines remained, so this was all profit.
If you sign a consignment sales contract with the blonde beauty Gardna, it will be better than now because you can sell it in large quantities.
Even at Lost Motors, where blonde beauty Gardna works as a director, when a large number of scooters are delivered at a 20% discount price and transported to other regions for sale, if a 30% price is added, the profits increase to 50%.
Even if you exclude various expenses here, you can raise profits by 35% to 40%.
So, if you sell as much as possible, you can increase the amount of consignment sales.
There was no other competitor, so it was no different from a monopoly.
I was able to judge that it was sufficiently competitive.
I decided to sign a consignment sales contract with Lost Motors, where the blonde beauty Gardna works as a director.
“By the way, how much time would it be good to release the 125cc bike Rich, designed with the motif of the 125cc business scooter Hera and Honda Cub?”
A 50cc scooter is just a very basic performance.
So, since the 125cc business scooter Hera has much higher performance, it would be better to set it at 1 million Vine.
The 125cc bike Rich, designed with the motif of the Honda Cub, seemed reasonable for the same 1 million Vine.
Anyway, it was because it was a formal bike, unlike a scooter.
First of all, the wheels are much bigger.
I was able to operate the gears here.
Considering these points, I thought it would be enough to receive 1 million vines.
A few days later, in the president’s office of Zeus Bike Company, Min-Jun, the lawyer, the staff in charge, the blonde beauty Gardna, the female secretary Luna, and the lawyer and five executives they brought sat down together.
We exchanged opinions about consignment sales contracts for scooters.
“So you’re saying you’re giving delivery at a 20% discount on the selling price?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, after deducting transportation and other expenses, there is nothing left.”
“no. It is profitable enough.”
“yes? how?”
“I will only sell the port city of Trena and neighboring cities. It means that it is the Lost Motors company that distributes and sells in other regions and nationwide. So, if you add about 30% of the selling price and sell it like now, it will be 50%, so you can make a profit of about 40% even after deducting various expenses.”
“Ah, I guess.”
“For now, we can just focus on selling scooters, but in the future we will have to deal with breakdowns and accidental repairs. We need to train our repair technicians for that.”
“I hear and see.”
“If you think about the nationwide distribution of scooters, it is good to train about 500 repair technicians, so it is better to receive training at the service center of Zeus Bike Company. We have secured enough parts.”
“I see what you mean. That would be nice.”
“If you sign a consignment sales contract, please make the deposit as soon as you deliver the scooter.”
“all right. I will.”
We talked to each other about the conditions and specified the necessary items in the contract.
The consignment sales contract was for two years.
After two years, they gathered together to discuss and decide whether to extend the period at that time.
Everyone read the consignment sales contract carefully, signed each other, and shared copies.
Blonde beauty Gardna let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
I got out and got into a waiting black car and set off.
Said Luna, the female secretary in the passenger seat.
“My lady, we have finally signed a consignment sales contract.”
“okay. I was actually worried about what would happen if I refused this time again.”
“Yes, I did too.”
“If you distribute scooters nationwide, you can make a huge profit.”
“I think so.”
“We have to prepare thoroughly so that there are no disruptions.”
“Yes, of course.”
“Get 1,000 repair technicians right now.”
“yes? Aren’t they 500?”
“500 is not enough. If you think about distribution nationwide, there should be at least 1,000 people.”
“Miss, yes, but if the scooters don’t sell as well as expected, it gets in trouble.”
“no. Scooter always succeeds.”
At the confident words of the blond beauty Gardna, the female secretary Luna nodded as well.
This time, I learned about the charm of scooters because I personally rode them while receiving training and learning.
It was as fast and easy to maneuver as a car, so even women could ride it.
It was also possible to buy goods from markets or shopping malls and carry them around.
Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal, it would be a very convenient means of transportation for life.
Thinking about those things, it was unconditional success.
Two days later, 1,000 people came to work as repair technicians for the Lost Motors Company.
A lot of people came at once, but it was able to accommodate enough.
The service center staff of Zeus Bike Company gathered them and started repair training.
The names and structure of parts related to scooters were also taught, and they also tried riding them themselves.
It was not very complicated and difficult to repair, so I was able to understand most of them with a few days of training.
Even so, it was taught on a three-week schedule.
Dealers also came by 500 people and received three days of special training before returning.
You need to know the advantages of scooters to be able to explain them.
Furthermore, you need to know how to ride a scooter so that you can actively sell to customers.
A week later, trucks were officially sent by Lost Motors.
Scooters were loaded into the luggage compartment and transported.
Lost Motors sales offices were located in major cities across the country.
That’s why the space on one side was decorated as a place to sell scooters.
Then, the scooters that arrived one after another were displayed and sold.
“What is that?”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Is that going to be fun?”
