Due to the popularity of the first-generation Guci mobile phones, the company's voice in the supply system has greatly increased, and Wei Qingfan is no longer required to sign a gambling agreement.
Taking a step back, the company's stocking no longer requires the endorsement of Wei Qingfan's personal financial resources.
Correspondingly, there is a corresponding increase in the voice among channel dealers, but it is not as big as in the supply chain, because the profits of Guci mobile phones are only large during the initial price increase and rush to buy, and will quickly decrease thereafter.
The meeting between Wei Qingfan and Huang Sheng, or the meeting between Gu Shi Ci and channel dealers now, mainly focused on discussing the share of online and offline, and emphasizing the concept of "making money together" in Gu Shi Ci.
In the afternoon meeting, China Mobile took the initiative to invite it. It wanted to cooperate with Guci Mobile for operator customization. It had been discussed in the early stage, and all the terms had been basically finalized by Wei Qingfan.
The details of the contract still need to be discussed slowly, but the main terms have been determined, and the progress will be relatively fast.
After the conversation, China Mobile came up with an idea more casually and asked Wei Qingfan if he was interested in making a cheaper 3G smartphone.
——Domestic 3G licenses have been issued in 2008, but the advancement of 3G packages has been very slow, causing headaches for the three operators.
Until last year, due to the emergence and popularization of smartphones, the number of 3G users increased significantly.
And according to survey data, the probability of smartphone users purchasing 3G packages is far higher than that of traditional feature phones. Many people switch to 3G packages because they want higher Internet speeds after changing their smartphones.
Then the direction is very clear for how to promote 3G packages.
Let more people switch to smartphones!
And Guci Mobile just happened to have lowered the price of smartphones!
In the original history, when Xiaomi launched the Redmi phone, it was because China Mobile came to the door and cooperated in order to promote 3G packages. This is why the Redmi 799 became a sensation.
It is no exaggeration. For most people, a 799 Redmi phone has a greater impact than a 1999 Xiaomi phone.
1999 is still too expensive for today’s domestic users.
Since its launch in 2013, Redmi mobile phones have become Xiaomi’s main shipment.
Wei Qingfan had already saved a lot of money by cooperating with China Mobile - an attitude that was beneficial to both parties. He didn't expect the other party to propose it so early. He was secretly surprised in his heart, but his face showed a thoughtful look and said: "
To be honest, I also have this idea, but if the price drops further, it won’t be easy.”
"There are also ways to control costs."
Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Yufeng. He is about forty years old. He always has a smile on his face when he speaks. "With the current influence of Guci mobile phone, as long as it is made, it will definitely sell well."
Wei Qingfan did not doubt that it would be a big seller, but he could not agree immediately. He asked: "What price range does Mr. Zhang think is more suitable?"
"We definitely want it to be as cheap as possible, at least below 1,000 yuan... preferably around 500 yuan."
"500 is impossible."
Wei Qingfan rejected this idea without hesitation. In 2013, the price of Redmi's branded smartphones was already 799, which was already the limit. Now, it's only 2011, and the prices of various components have not yet come down.
To make a RMB 500 smartphone... just buy a copycat phone, and it will ruin your own brand.
Zhang Yufeng was a little surprised when he saw that he seemed to have the idea of making a 100-yuan phone, and said: "What kind of smartphone can be made for less than 1,000 yuan?"
"I really can't say this..."
Although Wei Qingfan had an idea for a long time, he really couldn't give an answer right away, nor could he, "In this way, if Mr. Zhang is really ready to do it, I will ask someone to investigate and find out. We have a rough plan.
Talk about it in more detail?”
"OK!"
With the cooperation of the contract phone and the intention to promote 3G on low-end phones, Zhang Yufeng's attitude became more and more enthusiastic. After chatting for a few words, Wei Qingfan took his leave and personally led the people to the car.
"If it's so cheap, can you still make money?"
On the way back, a boy from the marketing department was driving. Wei Qingfan was sitting in the left rear seat. Jiang Qinghuai was also sitting in the back seat with him. Seeing that no one was talking, he took the initiative to find a topic.
"Then let's continue to reduce costs. Anyway, we must be able to make money before we can do it."
Wei Qingfan was also thinking about this matter. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Two thousand yuan has a configuration of two thousand yuan, a thousand yuan has a configuration of one thousand yuan, five hundred yuan... five hundred yuan is now real
It can’t be done.”
He was amused by his last words and asked the boy in front of him: "You Jin, what do you think?"
"I feel that if it can be sold for less than 1,000 yuan, it will definitely sell well, but the profit is too low, and it may not be as much as making ancient Ci mobile phones."
You Jin said while driving the car, "And it should also have some impact on our brand power. Mr. Wei, haven't you always wanted to build a brand?"
"To go high-end, we can use ancient poetry mobile phones, which focus on cost-effectiveness. This aspect will have little impact."
Although the other party was not responsible for the products, Wei Qingfan still explained that in order to avoid the tragedy of the Meizu family, more talents must be promoted, but talents do not appear all at once.
Moreover, he didn’t want to leave the impression of being a single man in the company, so even if he had already decided many things in his heart, he still asked everyone’s opinions first.
Otherwise, if he decides everything about the company, everyone else will just be obedient. He won't worry about it during the cheating period, but when the cheating expires, the company will die.
In addition, he is also strengthening his studies and working hard to make his vision, mind, structure, and abilities truly worthy of his current position.
When he returned to the company, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. Jiang Qinghuai finally had some free time, so he took out his phone and looked at his unread messages.
Zhou Li had finished her interview and returned to school. She felt that she performed well in the interview. Jiang Qinghuai praised her verbally, and then said: "I'll go back and ask, there should be no problem. I can come in, and you can definitely do it."
"
Zhou Li: "Forget it. You have just become a secretary. It's better not to ask anything at this time, so as not to make people think too much."
Jiang Qinghuai originally had this worry, but after hearing what she said, he said: "Then wait, I have full confidence in you."
Zhou Li: "I hope so."
Liang Yuxiu: "Secretary Jiang is finally free?"
Jiang Qinghuai: "Get out of here, Secretary Jiang doesn't want to talk to you."
Liang Yuxiu: "No!"
Liang Yuxiu: "I brought food to Secretary Jiang, and I went to school with Mr. Wei!"
Liang Yuxiu: "I want to see Mr. Wei!"
Peng Juan: "Fortunately, you didn't make a typo, otherwise it would have had another effect."
Liang Yuxiu: "Same bed?"
Jiang Qinghuai: "Nervous!"
Zhou Li: "Are you busy today?"
Jiang Qinghuai: "Fortunately, the main reason is that I don't dare to desert. I just came back from the mobile headquarters."
Peng Juan: "Wow! I don't even know where it is!"
Liang Yuxiu: "Does the headquarters deposit more phone bills and give away more money?"
Zhou Li: "You are sick!"
Zhou Li: "Jiang Qinghuai, I think your choice to be a secretary is quite right. At least the people you will come into contact with are different. Your career will definitely be smoother in the future."
Liang Yuxiu: "That's true, but please don't make any style issues, otherwise it will be another story."
Zhou Li: "Liang Yuxiu, please stop talking and be mute for two minutes."
Liang Yuxiu: "Oh."
Peng Juan: "I'm so envious. I also want to be Mr. Wei's secretary."
Jiang Qinghuai: "Then let me ask Mr. Wei if I want to recruit you too?"
Peng Juan: "Okay, okay!"
Liang Yuxiu: “Add one plus one!”
Jiang Qinghuai: "Then I'll ask you later. I won't tell you anymore. I'll sort out the information first."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
Peng Juan: "Secretary Jiang, walk slowly!"
Liang Yuxiu: "Good riddance to Secretary Jiang!"
Jiang Qinghuai put down his mobile phone and began to study and organize the minutes of today's meeting, as well as the minutes of Wei Qingfan's discussion with China Mobile.
In the office next door, Wei Qingfan was also chatting with Li Miaoyu.
"Wei Qingfan"
After Wei Qingfan replied, Li Miaoyu confirmed that he was available and called him directly. His tone sounded a little pitiful, "Are you working overtime tonight?"
"Not sure, I shouldn't add it. What's wrong?"
"Then you go home immediately after get off work."
Li Miaoyu seemed to sniff, but then he couldn't help laughing, and quickly controlled it, and continued in a pitiful tone: "Senior, if you want to hit me, you have to come and save me... I'll hit
But she..."
Wei Qingfanhu asked: "Are you two fighting among yourself?"
"Um"
Li Miaoyu's tone was still pitiful, but after he finished speaking, he heard Wei Qingfan cheer over there: "That's great!"
"ah?"
She was a little confused. She never expected Wei Qingfan to react like this. Even if he exposed himself and pretended to be aggrieved, it was normal, but what kind of magical operation was applauding him and his senior sister for their internal strife?
Doesn't he want harmony in the inner house?
"I've been suffering from you two for a long time! Now you are fighting among yourself. It's finally time for me to show off, sow discord, and fight..."
Wei Qingfan said excitedly, and then comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. How about we join forces and bully Wanwan together in the future?"
Li Miaoyu was silent for two seconds, and then asked warily: "How do you want to bully me?"
"Then it's your decision, isn't it?"
Wei Qingfan answered very smoothly, with a pure and innocent tone of "How could I have any evil intentions?" "You want to bully her, I will help you bully her!"
Li Miaoyu pondered: "Then we went to her room together that night and then ruined her?"
"Isn't this not good?"
Wei Qingfan hesitated a little, then without waiting for her to speak, he continued: "But since you want to do this, then I have to help you... Then it's settled, no one is allowed to go back on his word, let alone betray the other."
"Go to hell you!"
Li Miaoyu saw through his wolfish ambitions and immediately turned his back on him, saying, "You stinking gangster! A big pervert! What a pervert!"
After a series of curses, she hung up the phone without giving him any chance to make excuses.
Wei Qingfan curled his lips, not disappointed, but sent her another voice message: "Isn't this what you suggested? Why did you suddenly fall out? How about we find another way to bully her?"
"abnormal!"
At home, Li Miaoyu, who had no classes, no travel, and no driver's license test, had just returned home from shopping. She lay on the sofa and listened to his voice message. Her cheeks were a little hot and she muttered, and then sent a voice message to Xie Yao: "Little
Yaoyao, do you have anything going on in the evening? Do you want to have dinner together?"
Xie Yao quickly replied: "You are so disgusting!"
Xie Yao: "No, what are you doing?"
Li Miaoyu: "Let's eat together!"
Xie Yao: "You actually took the initiative to ask me for dinner, no one wants you anymore?"
Li Miaoyu: "Senior sister went to have dinner with Sister Chan. I don't want to eat with Wei Qingfan."
Xie Yao: "?"
She couldn't understand it at all. Shouldn't she take the opportunity to spend more time alone with Wei Qingfan?
Li Miaoyu: "Senior sister goes to school in Xiamen and has friends in Beijing to have dinner with, but I can only find scumbags. How shameless do I feel?"
