Chapter 112 Restocking
The three-story Bic Camera Ikebukuro main store in Toshima Ward can be seen from a long distance by the Flash Man poster hanging on its exterior wall.
Since the first day the advertisement was aired, Shinjin Ryuji has been very cooperative and simultaneously released the Flashman poster.
Fuuta and Kenichi looked at each other. It seemed that this thing called Flashman was more famous than they thought.
The two of them became interested and decided not to go to any Youdu Baxi. They turned directly into the Bic Camera not far away.
As soon as they entered the store, they saw Flashman placed in a prominent position in the middle of the first floor, but the flow of people here was completely beyond Feng Tai and the others' expectations.
They might not be able to feel it from outside, but the crowded crowd in front of them fully confirmed how reliable the rumors they had heard before were.
Most of them looked similar to the two of them , young and full of energy.
"Flash Kid, please give me an orange Flash Kid."
An anxious boy grabbed three noble Prince Shotoku's and stuffed them into the salesperson's hands.
"Hai" the salesperson, already busy and sweating, was busy collecting money and delivering goods without stopping for a moment.
"I want KITA, pink KITA~"
The girl in the sailor uniform stood on tiptoe, shaking the banknotes in her hand.
"Hayi~"
The noisy sounds unconsciously stimulated Fuuta and Kenichi.
The two looked at each other and unconsciously joined the rush to buy. People tend to follow the herd.
Stimulated by the warm atmosphere, blood boils and the desire to buy will be doubled.
"Give me a pink Flash Boy"
"Hey, Futa, why do you like pink? Are you planning to give it to a girl?"
"What do you care~"
"Why don't I buy a pink one too? Maybe Taozi will like it."
"Baga, Taozi is already my girlfriend, you bastard."
…
Ryuji Arai looked at the busy scene in the store and felt both surprised and happy.
He was optimistic about the future of Flashman, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
He also watched yesterday's advertisement, and he had to say it was concise and clear, with every shot highlighting the advantages of the product.
It doesn't need to be too complicated. The simpler and easier to remember it is, the easier it is to spread.
Like some songs, "Crackle, Crackle" instantly became the number one selling single of the year.
Ryuji Arai felt that Shirakawa Kaede had a lot of ideas about how to promote his products and was unconventional.
In fact, in the past two days, the number of young people visiting his store has increased significantly.
Most of them were attracted by the eye-catching "Flashman" sign outside.
After asking around, I found out that Flashman's fame on the streets had already spread quietly a long time ago.
These young people came here because of its reputation. Arai Ryuji's instinctive intuition was that this might also be related to Shirakawa Electric.
As a result, word of mouth spread in a small range, and coupled with the publicity on TV yesterday, Flashman's reputation among young people instantly soared.
This is why Bic Camera has so many customers today.
The road to marketing is a two-pronged approach that combines the positive and the odd.
Television advertising is positive, while finding people on the street to act as agents is strange. Now it seems to be effective.
"Mr. Arai, we're running out of stock." A clerk hurried over to inform Ryuji Arai.
"Hurry, call Shirakawa Electric and ask them to restock the stock." Ryuji Arai called out hurriedly.
The more he sold, the more profit he got. Money matters were a big deal.
Not only here, other electrical appliance retailers in Tokyo that cooperated with Shirakawa Electric also welcomed the first wave of customers who purchased Flashman.
The scene there may not be as prosperous as Bic Camera, but it is still not to be underestimated.
At this moment, the production workshop of Shirakawa Electric is still busy, but several members of the management are not in the mood to work.
They know that even if the ad has been aired, it will not be effective so quickly.
But I still hope to get some information from Shirakawa Kaede about the sales status of Flashman.
Shirakawa Electric's first shipment was 20,000 units, which were delivered to designated warehouses of various retailers a week ago.
There, retailers will use their own internal logistics channels to distribute these flashmen across the country.
However, it is currently only distributed in some big cities, such as Osaka, Nagoya, and Kyoto.
After all, most of the people who buy this kind of entertainment product are still within the large urban circle.
Baichuan Feng has no idea how effective the advertisement is or how many products can be sold.
But like everyone else, he was full of expectations. After all, whether Shirakawa Electric could take off depended on this.
"Ding-ling-ling" The sudden sound of the bell on the desk perked him up.
He picked up the phone before it rang a second time.
"Moshimoshi?"
"Mr. Shirakawa, hurry up, Bic Camera needs to be restocked, the sooner the better!" Arai Ryuji's voice came clearly from the receiver, accompanied by the noisy voices around.
"Restock? So fast?" Bai Chuanfeng's voice also became excited, and the tone rose unconsciously.
Shirakawa Electric sent nearly a thousand units to the Bic Camera branch in Tokyo alone.
It's only been a few days, two days including today , and the stock is already sold out.
"Shirakawa-san, please help arrange for the restocking immediately. Flashman will definitely be a big hit, trust me."
At this moment, Ryuji Arai wished he could open a few more stores in Tokyo, because these were pictures of Prince Shotoku.
It’s too fast, the money comes too quickly.
In the past, it was considered good if we could sell a few cameras a day, and the total value was only a few hundred thousand yen.
It’s not like now, he can’t even remember how many times he has touched the noble Prince Shotoku.
"Don't worry, Arai-san. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the goods right away."
After hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Kaede hurried to inform Sasaki Yakumo and asked him to send the existing stock in the warehouse to Ikebukuro immediately.
All the inventory in the first batch has been distributed, but the production line has not stopped in the past two days.
Although it's not running at full capacity, there should still be a few thousand of them.
This is still due to production costs, so there is no large-scale production. After all, no one knows how long the first batch of 20,000 units can sell.
Sony sold only 3,000 units in the first month, even though the Walkman is now becoming increasingly famous.
However, Shirakawa Electric's decision to ship 20,000 units in the first batch was already a very bold one.
However, judging from the news from Ryuji Arai, the previous inventory may not be enough.
In this case, we can notify Kazuo Yamaguchi earlier and run the production line at full capacity.
Shirakawa Feng had a hunch that apart from Bic Camera, the products at other retailers would not be too bad either.
What Shirakawa Electric has to do now is to produce and continue producing.
This production line is now Shirakawa Electric's money printing machine. The more the better. The more the better.
