Chapter 81 Performance and Influence
"I understand, boss, I will try my best to find the local center area, choose the popular shops among them, and rent them to build the company's offline stores!"
Zhou Cheng is very excited now. After all, if this thing is done well, it will help his future development within the company.
What's more, these things are already familiar to me, and this is my best business.
"Rent? No, this time I bought the store directly. If necessary, I can also buy all the stores next to it. Money is not a problem!"
Seeing Zhou Cheng's excited face, Xu Cong, as the boss, still added something to the other party.
Although the current housing prices in first-tier cities are much higher than in other cities, with the current strength of the company, it is not difficult to buy storefronts in the central and prosperous areas of these cities.
Xu Cong clearly understands that with the continuous development of the economy, the price of storefronts in the center of first-tier cities, which are the economic centers of gravity, will continue to rise with the development of the city.
Now it is a very cost-effective deal to buy enough storefronts in the center of first-tier cities.
And Xu Cong even gave Zhou Cheng a lot of financial support for this offline store expansion.
With Zhou Cheng's ability, Xu Cong believes that the other party can do this well in the next year.
The product was also released in about five days.
"The number of online sales is only 860 units, and the number of offline dealers is only a scarce 500 units!"
When the results appeared in front of Xu Cong, Xu Cong didn't have much expression on his face.
Compared with the company's previous product, this achievement is simply as high as heaven and earth.
As the company's top product, "HeiZI MP4" successfully sold over 10,000 units within one week of its launch.
And now the sales of the company's mobile phone products are simply appalling.
The high price directly dispels these consumers' curiosity about new products.
Even the sales volume of the entire product makes the company uncomfortable.
"If the chairman can temporarily lower the price of the product, perhaps lowering the price of the product to less than 4,000, the current sales performance of the company's products can be restored!"
The company's top management is also worried about the sales volume of this product. The company currently has 50,000 units of products in inventory, and in addition, there are also 15 units of component inventory.
If the sales volume of the product still maintains this level, it is very likely that the company will lose too much money on this product.
Price reduction! It is impossible to reduce the price of the product!
Especially this time, the price of this product was reduced less than a week after it was launched.
"Don't mention the price reduction to me within six months of the product being released!"
Xu Cong did not give any answer directly, but reiterated the issue of price reduction in a serious tone.
Now Xu Cong wants to build his company's product into a truly high-end product. If the price is reduced now, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the company's products and also hurt the hearts of users who support the company's products.
Xu Cong wants to build his company's brand into a fruit-like high-end brand, rather than a diving flagship like a certain Chinese brand.
Seeing the chairman's serious expression, the company's senior executives also closed their mouths.
After all, Xu Cong has the absolute right to speak in the company now. Whether the company is profitable or losing money, the first person to be affected is Xu Cong.
Just when Hongjun Technology was worrying about the sales of its products, an emergency meeting was being held inside the fruit company on the other side of the ocean.
Cook, as the person in charge of the fruit company, was sitting in his seat with a serious face, and a video was playing on the curtain behind him.
And this video is the new product launch conference held not long ago by Hongjun Technology.
"This is a Chinese technology company on the other side of the ocean. I hope you will pay attention to the products produced and released by this Chinese technology company!"
"After all, we did not realize the design left by the former chairman. Instead, it was this Huaguo technology company that took the lead in making the product!"
Cook sat on the seat and calmly told the company's executives about the special features of the products at this conference.
In the past year, the fruit company has internally used the design drafts left by former chairman Steve Jobs as the focus of new product development.
Just when the company already had product design ideas and planned to turn all the designs into reality, a Chinese technology company took the lead in snatching away the results that the fruit company had been preparing for a long time.
The company executives present looked closely at the image projected by the projector, and were shocked by the new concepts and products brought by this Chinese technology company.
"This is a very successful and mature product. I feel that this technology company has a deeper understanding of new products than we do!"
Coors, who was responsible for the R&D and production of this product, also expressed emotion after watching this video.
As a technical researcher, he became the leader of the company's technology department after Steve Jobs's death.
As the technical backbone of the company, Coors has its own pride.
And now he had to admit that the products designed and produced by the other party were the products he wanted to design, and the samples produced by the other party completely exceeded his expectations.
"Now our design still needs to continue. If possible, I will arrange for someone to go to China to try to acquire this company!"
"But I hope our internal staff will spend more time focusing on the product to avoid this kind of situation happening again next time!"
Cook stood up slowly at this time, his eyes locked on the silent executives next to him.
Although Cook is now said to be Jobs' successor, Cook and Jobs are two different types of people, and some executives within the company also have objections to Cook's succession.
At the same time, senior executives and some directors within the company are also fighting openly and secretly, hoping to gain more power and voice in the company.
As the head of the company, Cook is very clear about the internal situation of the company.
For this reason, Cook is trying his best to find opportunities so that he can truly establish absolute authority in the company.
The works left behind by Jobs were Cook's opportunity to make a comeback. Unfortunately, this chance of a comeback was shattered by a Chinese technology company.
This made Cook feel very dissatisfied, and taking advantage of this incident, Cook still had to give several senior executives a few beatings.
The fruit company is still preparing its own plans and product releases, and domestic communication equipment companies have also dismantled and analyzed the "Hphone" product.
I hope to have the opportunity to truly imitate products of the same type as "Hpone", and then gain recognition from market consumers at a correspondingly low price, thereby taking away a piece of this cake.
"Hongjun Technology Company is simply too scary!"
Juchang's mobile phone business department also spent money to get a "Hpone" and disassembled the product.
However, after dismantling the product, the entire mobile phone business department was also surprised by the internal design of the product.
Especially looking at the mobile phone motherboard, which occupies nearly 2/3 of the mobile phone, makes people in the mobile phone business department of Juchang break into cold sweat on their foreheads.
On a small panel, all the functions of the mobile phone are connected in an orderly manner.
This time the mobile phone motherboard uses an integrated circuit board with printed lines, which is the so-called PCB!
Compared with the current mainstream functional phone panels, the number of panels and the number of lines used in this product far exceed the level of functional phones.
"The copper wires covered on this motherboard are at least about ten times more than the copper wires of the products we currently produce. And with so many copper wires, the distance between the wires is controlled to maintain the copper wires.
There must be no contact between the lines!"
"This PCB designer is a monster!"
The engineer on the side carefully made an in-depth study of this motherboard and let out a sigh of relief.
This new mobile phone has many upgrades in terms of functionality and practicality.
The improvements made to the overall component hardware far exceed the current imagination of engineers.
The length and number of cables on this motherboard alone were an eye-opener for the engineers present.
Although the current engineers at Ju Factory can do this, it requires a lot of manpower and time, and they still need to conduct multiple tests to achieve this level.
In addition to the wiring of the motherboard, what is even more terrifying are the components on the motherboard of the mobile phone.
"The rear camera and front camera are connected through 15 and 10 copper wires and chips!"
"This speaker is connected through 7 copper wires!"
……
Memory chips, wireless chips, Bluetooth chips, resistors, capacitors, and many component chips are all installed on such a small motherboard, making the entire motherboard look like a work of art.
Especially in the eyes of this group of engineers, the product motherboard produced by Hongjun Technology this time is worth learning.
"A motherboard combines speakers, monitors, WiFi, antennas, GPS, batteries, home button sensors, and dozens of tiny chips. All functions are gathered on this motherboard!"
"To be honest, the products brought by Hongjun Technology this time are enough to make us pay attention from the functions to the technology!"
At this time, the engineers were staring closely at this motherboard, which has in-depth research significance for the company.
Even this motherboard can teach these engineers a lot.
"Then imitate..."
"With our current strength, we still can't develop it in a short time. Although we can imitate these motherboards, the components on the motherboard and the system that the mobile phone products run need to be solved!"
"So the only one who can produce this type of mobile phone in a short period of time is Hongjun!"
Chapter completed!
