Ye Qing named the scooter "Storm", meaning to sweep through the market like a storm.
At noon, Ye Jiangning brought the assembled scooters to a friend's scooter shop.
This shop sells Emma scooters, and Emma's Star scooters. Normally when a customer asks, the boss will say that Emma's Star is a brand under Emma, with guaranteed quality and quantity.
The two words "Emma" are very similar to "Emma", so customers who don't know the reason would really think that it's a brand under Emma.
But in reality, this is just a small factory's imitation product.
Of course, the current scooter technology is very mature, so small factories have a great advantage in terms of price and quality.
Because he already told him beforehand, when Ye Jiangning brought the scooters over, the boss Huang Ranjun didn't have much of a reaction.
It's a two wheeled scooter, even though there are a few big cities that have implemented restrictions.
But Zhongyun hasn't released the relevant regulations yet, but electric scooters are quite strict, so if you don't have a D license, you'll be fined.
Originally Huang Ranjun thought that since Ye Jiangning's factory can't continue, he'll switch to electric scooters, so as a friend he should help out.
But when the ten scooters with the Storm brand were brought over, Huang Ranjun was instantly captivated by these beautiful scooters, with a bit of a sci-fi style to them.
Under the same quality, a product's appearance is the key factor that determines a customer's desire to buy it.
Everyone likes beautiful things, so when Huang Ranjun saw these scooters, he felt that as long as the price is right, these scooters won't sell out.
He enthusiastically went up to greet his old friend. Huang Ranjun invited Ye Jiangning into the shop, cutting off the ears of unrelated people. He asked Ye Jiangning what the scooters are made of, and how much they're selling for.
The cost of these scooters is 1300, including the ten workers Ye Jiangning hired, plus their wages and electricity, they'll need at least 2000 to make a profit.
Of course, 2000 for these scooters is too cheap, so Ye Jiangning set the purchase price at 2500.
Ye Jiangning decided that if these scooters sell well, then he'll continue to raise the price, and if they don't sell well, then he'll lower the price.
2500, Huang Ranjun doesn't think it's too expensive. It's just that these scooters don't have proper paperwork, so once they're sold, they'll have to provide their own warranty. What if these scooters aren't as good as they look, and the quality is terrible?
When the electric scooter was being assembled, the workers kept praising the quality of the parts, especially the metal parts, which couldn't be any better.
Ye Jiangning was quite confident in the quality of the scooters, so he told Huang Ranjun to put the scooters up for sale first, and give him a deposit of 1500 RMB for each scooter.
"Then you need to hurry up and get a production permit. If you want to make electric scooters for a long time, you can't do it without a permit. If others get jealous, they'll come looking for trouble." Huang Ranjun quietly revealed.
Look at the Emma's Star in my shop. Even though I'm selling it as Emma's Star, the sales are pretty good. No one has come to check because I have the license to produce electric scooters. "
"Are these documents expensive?" Ye Jiangning asked.
"That depends on what kind of qualification certificate it is." Huang Ranjun recalled the details of other electric scooter companies. "It shouldn't be difficult to get a 3C certification and a production license for an ordinary two-wheeled electric scooter, as long as the product quality is up to standard. There are also professional agencies on the market."
"It's definitely not easy to apply for qualifications like electric scooters and electric cars. They need to be filed and approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology because these are classified as motor vehicles. They need to be licensed."
Ye Jiangning nodded, he understood the 3C certification. When the factory was doing well, they also did the 3C certification, so these documents weren't hard to apply for.
After saying goodbye to Huang Ranjun, Ye Jiangning decided to first change the factory's business license, then find some connections to get the 3C certification and production license.
Not long after Ye Jiangning left, several aunties brought their children to look at the electric scooter.
Ever since Ye Jiangning heard Ye Qing's suggestion to switch to selling electric scooters, he had been constantly sending messages to the townsfolk he called before. There were also a few townsfolk who said they wanted to buy electric scooters and wanted to go take a look.
With business coming, Huang Ranjun naturally did his best to promote it. But when the aunties heard that the electric scooter was priced at 3000 and that it wasn't a branded product from a big factory, they immediately changed their target and asked how much the Emma's Star was.
The children were immediately attracted by the eye-catching electric scooter and insisted on buying it.
"1200!" Huang Ranjun looked at the children with encouraging eyes, hoping that they would work hard and change the adults' minds.
After a few hours, not a single electric scooter was sold. But the store did manage to sell a few Emma's Stars.
Coincidentally, the owner of a nearby Meituan food delivery shop came over to borrow an electric scooter, so Huang Ranjun decided to lend him a brand new one.
The nearby Meituan food delivery shop was doing very well and hired 7 delivery men. Every year, they would buy at least 10 new electric scooters and over a hundred batteries. They were truly the number one customer.
So Huang Ranjun generously let them try the new electric scooter called the Storm.
Whether the electric scooter was good or bad, these delivery men were able to tell after riding it for half a day.
The eye-catching electric scooter was snatched away by the delivery shop owner's nephew. After tying up the Meituan food delivery box and delivering a nearby customer, this guy started to cry out how comfortable the scooter was, as if he was going for a ride.
People familiar with him in the store called him Da Mao, because his nickname was Da Mao.
After delivering another wave of customers, Da Mao's expression changed when he came back. He told his friends in the store that this scooter was awesome. Just now when I was crossing the zebra crossing, an unlicensed car ran the red light. When I braked, I thought I was dead for sure, but who would have thought that the electric scooter would suddenly stop as if it was fixed to the ground.
"Also, this scooter is super comfortable to ride. It's as stable as driving. It didn't even slow down when passing speed bumps, and the scooter didn't even make a sound."
"Look, it even has a charging port for mobile phones. Now we don't have to carry a power bank when we go out."
"The range is awesome too. The customers we just delivered are all regular customers. Originally, even with a new battery, the electric scooter would run out of battery after one round. Now, after a full 40 kilometers, it still has half a bar of battery left."
"Could it be that the display is broken?"
"I don't think so. I feel that the electric scooter still has plenty of power. If it was any other scooter, it would have run out of power long ago."
"Let me try again." Da Mao took a few more food delivery boxes and placed them in the food delivery box. He followed the address on the note and delivered them to each customer.
This trip had also cemented the position of this scooter in the hearts of the delivery men.
After delivering all the food, Da Mao returned. The electric scooter was still moving as if it was flying.
This endurance was astonishingly strong!
The delivery shop owner ran over excitedly and asked Huang Ranjun how much the electric scooter cost.
"3,500. If you want to buy it, the price is 3,300." Huang Ranjun caught a glimpse of a desire to own the electric scooter on his face, so he slyly raised the price by 300.
"How many do you have?"
"10."
"I'll buy all of them first, but you have to lower the price to 3,200."
Huang Ranjun looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end didn't say it. He clenched his teeth and said: "Fine ~ if it's a bit less then it's a bit less. Who told us to be neighbors!"
The boss happily paid the full price and took all the scooters away.
When Huang Ranjun called Ye Jiangning to immediately order another 50 of these electric scooters, Ye Jiangning was in the middle of consulting with the company about the production license and 3C certification.
The company told Ye Jiangning that the 3C certification is simple, but the production license is more complicated. This is because it requires an on-site inspection of the factory, the area and machinery to meet the requirements.
Since the company said it's more complicated, that means it can be done. If every factory meets the requirements, what's the point of having a company?
The old factory's area definitely meets the requirements, it just lacks the necessary equipment. The company said that for 100,000 RMB, they can get a set of equipment and guarantee that it will pass the inspection.
While Ye Jiangning was hesitating, Huang Ranjun called and urgently wanted to order another 50 of these electric scooters.
"Ah ~ 50? No problem, no problem. " Ye Jiangning was so excited that he coughed again and again, his ribs hurting: "But the price has to be raised. You know, if the product is selling well, the factory will raise the price. This is the market."
"Okay, no problem. But you have to get the production license."
"I'm just asking about it." Ye Jiangning smiled happily.
After hanging up, the pretty agent asked Ye Jiangning if he wanted to get the license.
"Yes, can you get it done quickly?"
