Hermes distribution: 3,000 yuan to buy a fly swatter
If the wallets of the middle class were harvested by Archaeopteryx, lululemon, and Ralph Lauren, then the more well-funded high-net-worth individuals were captured by LV, Chanel, and Hermès.
Among them, Hermes is one of the best, but this top luxury has also encountered a word-of-mouth storm recently.
On March 19, the French luxury brand Hermès was prosecuted in California, USA, for allegedly violating antitrust laws by allowing only customers with a "sufficient purchase record" to buy bags of specific models of its brand.
One plaintiff said that he had spent tens of thousands of dollars on Hermès products, had bought a platinum bag, and was blocked from buying again, while others had been repeatedly hinted by store staff that they needed to be dispensed.
As we all know, if you want to buy a popular classic Hermès bag, you need to accept the distribution, and this is the case all over the world.
There are also domestic consumers who are deeply hurt by Hermès's distribution system. Ms. Du from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, told the media that she spent more than 1.4 million yuan on a number of Hermès products, including necklaces, cups, belts, etc., but the clerk still claimed that she was "out of stock" and refused to sell her the bags she wanted.
You must know that the word "distribution" is likely to be a "prohibited word" in Hermes' brand stores, and can only be beautified by "consumption accumulation".
Hermes' official customer service center once said: "Hermes does not have the official 'distribution' of this word"
In fact, the distribution that has been circulating for many years has never been officially confirmed by Hermes, and it is already a well-known tacit understanding in the industry.
Don't dare to mention it openly, but also do it secretly, is it okay if luxury goods are not matched?
As the saying goes, if something is already rotten and flooded, then it may be less attractive to the rich. What luxury goods need to do is to maintain the scarcity and uniqueness of the product by limiting the supply of the product, so as to increase the value and attractiveness of the product.
However, Hermes is not fearless about this kind of sales model, and it is also a little "weak-hearted", otherwise there will not be any official and positive response - this does not hinder the continuation of this system, and it may not work if it is not allocated, because the distribution is really fragrant for the brand!
Through distribution, a layer of invisible purchase threshold is set first, and it invisibly screens its own user customer group first, and it is also a good combination to stimulate further consumption of users.
It is said that for every platinum bag sold in the world, three to five Hermès backlogs are sold short at the same time. According to media reports, at present, in the Chinese market, the minimum ratio of Hermes distribution is 1:0.5, which is generally 1:1, and a higher level can reach 1:1.5 or 1:2. That is to say, if a consumer wants to buy a 100,000 yuan Hermes bag, they must first buy at least 50,000 yuan of other Hermes products.
At the FY2023 analyst conference, Axel Dumas, the sixth-generation Hermès family/CEO, mentioned that Chinese customers have a fascination with Hermès.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, Hermes is a luxury product standing at the top of the pyramid, and Hermes is equivalent to a noble identity and status. You are not carrying Hermes, but the status and status symbol brought by the blessing of Hermès, as well as the impression that others have on you, and the distribution rules can make consumers feel that buying luxury goods is a privilege and status symbol.
So Hermes is a consumerist game where rich people are matched into the game.
From porcelain tableware to jewelry necklaces, to hanging accessories, Hermes's distribution is varied, a Hermes fly swatter costs 3,000 yuan, a Hermes tissue box costs 7,000 yuan, and a Hermes magnifying glass costs 15,000. Many rich people also complain that Hermes is difficult to distribute, and it is difficult to say that there is no show-off component, after all, this is a trouble that ordinary people do not deserve to think of.

Netizens said: I can see it, and the deeper I go, the more scared I am. The result came out that it was still flat.
Netizens said: This thing is pure IQ tax, a means of harvesting foreigners.
Tesla's global layoffs, laid-off employees said: 5 minutes to complete all the procedures
Tesla announced on the 15th that it would lay off 14,000 employees worldwide, more than 10% of its total workforce.
According to reports, the layoff process can be described as "vigorous and resolute": some employees only knew that they had been laid off after their badges were invalid before entering the office building; some people were invited by Tesla to move their families to another state, but received the news of their dismissal six months later; at the Gigafactory in Nevada, the United States, workers checked whether they had been fired one by one at the door, causing some people to queue for two hours before they could enter the work area.

The scope of Tesla's layoffs is not limited to North America, but also in Europe and Asia, and a number of witnesses reviewed the layoff process to Red Star News reporters.
According to the general report of the layoffs, the process from the news of the layoffs to the completion of the resignation procedures is very short, and the compensation standards are generally satisfactory to the parties. After the "passive resignation", some employees still think that the work experience at Tesla is more positive, but some people are very confused about why they became the layoff.
Musk sent an internal email: I hate layoffs, but it is imperative
According to reports, Tesla's internal mail shows that CEO Musk sent an internal email on the 15th Beijing time. Musk wrote: "Over the years, we have had large production facilities around the world, and in the process of rapid development, we have found overlapping responsibilities in some roles. To better prepare for the next phase, we need to revisit every aspect of our operations, reduce costs and increase productivity."
▲Tesla CEO Elon Musk according to Visual China
Musk said that he plans to cut more than 10% of his workforce globally, "I hate this decision immensely, but it is a decision that must be made to make us leaner, hungrier and more efficient to face the next stage of challenges." Musk wished the departing employees a successful future and thanked them for their contributions over the years.
For the remaining employees, Musk said: "Our company is challenging the forefront of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and clean energy, and your tenacity and perseverance will make an indelible contribution to the company's next phase of rapid growth."
The layoff process was swift and unnoticed
According to a female employee who was laid off, she also saw the internal email sent by Musk on the 15th, and also inquired with her immediate superior, and the other party did not know the specific list of layoffs. On the 16th, she was called to the office with a prepared resignation agreement on her desk, and it only took about 5 minutes to complete all the resignation procedures.
Another male employee who went through a probationary period and was laid off said he regretted not being able to continue working at Tesla. He said Tesla is suitable for people who are "particularly self-driven" to come to work, and employees process a lot of information at work every day.
▲Tesla employees walk into the work area
Another employee who was laid off said that in less than two years of work, he was satisfied with the working environment and company system, and he came to exercise his work ability at Tesla.
Tesla's stock price "fell endlessly", and the departure of core executives released negative signals
After Musk announced the news of layoffs, Tesla's stock price fell 5.6% in the U.S. stock market on the 15th, and continued to fall 2.7% on the 16th. Since entering 2024, Tesla's stock price has fallen by 36.76%, and its market value has evaporated by more than $286 billion. Tesla, which was once in the "trillion dollar club", is now worth less than $500 billion.
▲Tesla stores in North America
At the time of Tesla's vigorous "10,000 layoffs", two executives voluntarily resigned and left the company, both of whom were listed as core management on Tesla's official website. Drew Baglino, the departing senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, has been with Tesla for 18 years and is considered Musk's core deputy, and he has often accompanied Musk on earnings calls and important press conferences.
Michael Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital, believes that the departure of two key executives shows that Tesla's current main growth model has encountered serious headwinds, which is a bigger negative signal for the company than the announcement of layoffs.
Netizens have something to say
Netizens said: Tesla laid off N+3, which is very conscientious. Freedom of layoffs. As long as the compensation is in place. China only needs N+1 or 30 days' notice to give N. It's not illegal.
Netizens said: With the existence of American trade unions, it is impossible for American industry to rise again, and it is a matter of time before Tesla workers form a union.
Netizens said: However, this does not affect the digital life, blowing Tesla, the factory is well paid, and the work is easy.
Netizens said: According to the usual practice, the next step must be to brag that the compensation is very high and satirize other domestic enterprises.
Netizens said: Musk laid off employees for the sake of open source, he really, I cried to death!
