Chapter 118 Silicone Doll

Before coming to Shanghai, I informed Fang Liao in advance; it was just basic courtesy.

Fang Liao: "Tianyi, you finally called me."

Me: "What's wrong, short of money?"

Fang Liao: "It's really boring chatting with nouveau riche. They can't stop talking about money. But I'm actually in trouble. I was just thinking that if you don't contact me, I'll call you."

Me: "I sent you my location, come over."

Half an hour later, Fang Liao rushed over.

Me: "Are you really in trouble? You rushed over here in such a hurry."

Fang Liao: "Calling at this hour, you're basically asking me to dinner, right? I should be more enthusiastic about it. Ha, how much have you been drinking? You're like a walking wine vat!"

Me: "Don't even mention it. I've only been in Shanghai for two days and I've only drunk less than 5 jin (2.5 catties) of alcohol."

Fang Liao: "Beer?"

Me: "Who do you think you are?"

Fang Liao: "I admire the people from your province!"

Me: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's eat and chat."

My driver, Xiao Chen, was waiting at the hotel entrance early in the morning. He drove the car ahead of time as soon as I left.

Me: "A nice upscale restaurant nearby, preferably with private rooms."

The driver took a booklet from the passenger seat: "This was prepared for you by Manager Sun. Please choose one."

Fang Liao's eyes widened: "Brother, that's impressive! You're so influential! It's like this in Beijing, and it's the same in Shanghai!"

Me: "So, I've come to Shanghai this time to give you an opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you."

Fang Liao: "Brother, whatever you say, I'll do it. I really want to improve!"

Me: "You're a multi-millionaire boss, don't be so pretentious."

A Chinese restaurant in a shopping mall.

The private room was nice.

Fang Liao: "Waiter, open a bottle of wine!"

I immediately slapped Fang Liao's hand away: "What are you doing?"

Fang Liao: "Have a drink."

My face was pale and weak: "If you keep playing like this, I'm going back to my hometown."

Fang Liao: "Hehe, just kidding."

Me: "What problem did you encounter?"

Fang Liao's face immediately fell: "I've been set up!"

Let's start from the beginning.

Fang Liao: "Silicone dolls are a type of lifelike adult sex product. As an adult product, they can replace real people to satisfy sexual needs, and can also meet the emotional transfer needs of some people who cannot find emotional support or whose emotions are blocked in real life."

I interrupted him: "Are you just going to give up here? Get to the point!"

Fang Liao: "Someone's got their eye on my factory and wants to take me down!"

Me: "Be more specific!"

Fang Liao: "When we were in class, I once said that the silicone doll market was huge. After returning, based on the knowledge I learned in the CEO class, I increased investment and expanded the production line and factory area."

"And then you lost money?"

Fang Liao looked at him incredulously: "How did you know?"

Me: "That's normal. Logically speaking, money shouldn't be a problem for you."

Fang Liao: "Yes, it's not a money problem, it's a people problem, and also a problem with the children."

Me: "What do you mean?"

Fang Liao: "The Shanghai Market Supervision Administration said that my factory's production permits were not up to standard, and the products it produced were also non-compliant, belonging to pornographic products."

Me: "Strictly speaking?"

Fang Liao: "Strictly speaking, no. I have the relevant permits for 'Class II medical devices' and 'family planning products.'"

Me: "You produced them but can't sell them?"

Fang Liao: "How should I put it? Supply can't keep up with demand! But right now, we've invested over seven million yuan, and production isn't allowed! Rent, utilities, and worker wages are huge daily losses. Besides, there are more and more silicone doll manufacturers, and the market is about to become fiercely competitive!"

Me: "Isn't this just a blatant attempt to get you to give them money as a wedding gift?"

Fang Liao's face was gloomy: "We've looked for people, but no one is willing to take him."

Me: "This is interesting. Take me to the factory tomorrow afternoon."

Fang Liao: "Done."

Me: "Are silicone sex dolls only used by men?"

Fang Liao blinked: "We also have female customers, and we produce male silicone dolls too. Male users are about 85%, and female users are about 15%."

The main consumer group is [knowledge has once again entered your minds in a despicable way; this stuff is really stress-relieving].

20-24 years old: Approximately 25.94%

25-29 years old: Approximately 24.42%

30-34 years old: Approximately 20.70%

35-50 years old: Divorced, widowed, or single middle-aged men seeking stable companionship. 50 years and older: Elderly people living alone, especially single men in rural areas.

City distribution: First-tier and new first-tier cities dominate, with strong consumption power and high acceptance.

Regional characteristics: Factory workers (born in the 80s and 90s) in manufacturing-intensive areas such as Shenzhen and Dongguan are the main customers of the experience center, and single men who work in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are also the main user group.

Occupational composition:

High-pressure professions such as programmers and long-distance drivers.

Construction workers and factory assembly line workers (accounting for approximately 70% of our clients).

Middle- to high-income white-collar workers and business owners (who have the ability to purchase high-end customized products worth 1 to 10 yuan).

Elderly people living alone and people with disabilities.

When I heard that, I realized this wasn't a new industry; it was a replacement industry! A completely new, legal, compliant, and safe industry that could replace women, and the future market was definitely huge.

Moreover, it's a recurring consumer market. Silicone is easily damaged, but it can be replaced when it breaks, which increases the repurchase rate!

Me: "Fang Liao, what's wrong with your brain? How come you always manage to find yourself in such a lucrative industry!"

Fang Liao: "Hehe, to be honest, I used to run a silicone doll adult experience center. I made 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month. But then more and more people around me opened them, so I quit and started a factory instead."

Me: "Making 30,000 to 40,000 a month, how do you manage?"

The cost of opening an adult experience center is around 8000 yuan, plus 3000 yuan for dolls, 4500 yuan for rent, and around 500 yuan for miscellaneous adult products.

Collect membership fees.

In big cities, a single experience costs 399, and members get 1 free for every 3 recharges. There's also a monthly subscription for 3000, which immediately recoups the cost of the doll.

In smaller cities, a single experience costs 200; members can recharge 5 times and get 2 free; a monthly subscription costs 1500 and includes home delivery; and you can change models every month to experience something new.

Fang Liao opened three rooms at the same time, right at the entrance of the Fuji Kang factory. The scene was... well, let's just say it was quite something!

queue!

The waitresses can't keep up with all the cleaning!

Speaking of this, Liao got excited: "Those two months were like printing money. I didn't do anything, just sat at the door and earned more than 3000 yuan a day. I was even dreaming of opening a chain and going public!"

"And then?"

Fang Liao: "Damn it, this thing has such a low barrier to entry and requires so little investment. Then five more stores opened next door, and they could make two or three hundred a day. It's not worth it, so I transferred the business."

Me: "This thing is cheap, and I estimate that in the future, every single person will have one, and the experience center will be replaced sooner or later."

Fang Liao: "You're absolutely right, bro. That's why I switched to manufacturing, and you know what? It's quite profitable!"

Understood.

Fang Liao has been targeted; the leeks are ripe and ready to be harvested!
