What Changtian Technology lacks most now is talents.
It's not that Changtian Technology doesn't have many talented students, it's that there aren't many people who are capable and can be trusted by Chen Xiao.
According to the training model of Changtian Technology, you must first have the ability to work in Changtian Technology, and then you will perform very well at work and gain the trust of the group company through the accumulation of small things. Then you will have the opportunity to enter.
Company executives.
In the field of aerospace, there is a law called Hayne's law.
In other words, behind a major accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses, and 1,000 hidden accident risks.
This rule also applies to Changtian Technology’s assessment of talents.
If you are dedicated to the company in every performance, then after a few years, you will have a fair and perfect evaluation, be regarded as a reliable person, and the chance of entering the core layer will be greatly increased.
When Chen Xiao asked Wenqi to answer questions this time, he actually intended to train Wenqi, hoping that Wenqi could enter the core layer of Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao has confidence in Wen Qi.
After years of training, Wenqi has no financial problems at all, and finance is the core of a company.
In addition, Wenqi had experience in the student union in college before. After joining Changtian Technology, she followed Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang in various battles and accumulated a certain amount of experience.
Although Wen Qi is not very mature at the moment, Chen Xiao believes that if she is assisted by herself, given time, Wen Qi will definitely be able to stand alone.
Wen Qi thought about the questions raised by Chen Xiao.
The main problem at present is that there is a lot of waveguide inventory, and how to digest it in the optimal way.
Because Changtian Technology Group has just acquired Bird, if it sells mobile phones at an extremely low price at this time, it will definitely damage the image of Bird after the acquisition by Changtian Technology.
After thinking of this, Wen Qi glanced at Chen Xiao and said: "Mr. Chen, ladies and gentlemen, I think that since Changtian Technology has acquired Bird, we should turn a new page. The mobile phones currently in stock must be purchased.
What has been dealt with is, on the one hand, to allow the waveguide to operate with ease, and on the other hand, to return some funds."
Wen Qi said: "We can completely rebrand this batch of mobile phones into other brands and sell them to Lamy, Africa and even Southeast Asia. I think since it is to recover funds, then don't worry too much about this batch.
Is the sales price of the mobile phone 200 yuan or 300 yuan?"
"And I suggest that we sell in batches to overseas operators, which can also save our sales channel resources and costs."
Wen Qi analyzed: "At present, in Western developed countries such as Europe and the United States, as well as developed and nearly developed countries in Asia such as South Korea and Japan, smartphones are already standard equipment. Most of the users of feature phones are elderly people, and there is not much market.
"
"But this is not the case in Africa, Latin America, and even Southeast Asia. The economic level here is low and there is still a huge demand for functional phones."
"Especially in Africa, there is a huge demand for second-hand mobile phones, let alone new feature phones."
Wen Qi said directly: "When I audited Bird, I specialized in waveguide-related businesses. Among Bird's past sales channels, there were several sellers who specialized in business in Africa and Southeast Asia. If we cooperate with them
Contact us and package and sell these mobile phones to them at a transaction price. I believe this business should be successful."
After Wen Qi finished speaking, her face turned red. She looked at Chen Xiao sheepishly. Wang Xiang and others said: "This is just my preliminary opinion. Please criticize and correct me."
Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and the entire senior management of Changtian Technology applauded.
Obviously, as far as the current waveguide situation is concerned, the method proposed by Wen Qi is the best.
It can not only digest the inventory as quickly as possible and allow Bird Company to return some money. It can also not affect the product image of Changtian Technology after acquiring Bird.
At this time, Wen Qi raised another question and said: "We were acquiring Bird's assets and found that in addition to the mobile phones in stock, there were also a large number of mobile phone parts in stock. We made a rough estimate of the number of mobile phone parts in stock.
The components can produce about 50,000 mobile phones."
Wen Qi said with some helplessness: "Actually, the price we paid for acquiring Bird is quite generous to Bird, because most of them have these negative assets."
Those negative assets that have a price on paper but have no way to be realized
At this time, the senior management of Changtian Technology fell into deep thought again.
A senior executive said: "Otherwise, let's just sell these parts. There are so many counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers in Shenzhen, and any one can buy them."
In fact, the senior management of Changtian Technology is very much looking forward to Changtian Technology making its own mobile phone.
Now that Waveguide has been acquired, the production lines and sales channels are already there, and the company does not need to waste time on those parts that cannot be used.
Chen Xiao has a different view.
Since we want to test the waters, why not use existing parts?
Moreover, Chen Xiao wants to see the reaction of Nokia and other brands to Changtian Technology's involvement in the mobile phone market.
Chen Xiao said: "Assemble all the parts of this batch, we will name them under a new sub-brand and sell them."
"ah?!"
Chen Xiao's idea made everyone feel a little dizzy.
Just now, we tried to find ways to sell the mobile phones in stock from Waveguide overseas, and now we have to use the remaining parts from Waveguide to assemble mobile phones.
The remaining parts of the waveguide can only produce 2G mobile phones, and it is impossible to produce 3G smartphones.
What exactly is Chen Xiao going to do?
Chen Xiao laughed, glanced at Li Guojun and said, "It shouldn't be a problem to add a camera to the existing motherboard, right?"
Although Chen Xiao's sentence is a question, he was originally born in IC, so he is not asking for everyone's opinions, but he has to do this.
Adding a camera to an existing motherboard, that is, adding a sensor module, is not that difficult and is very easy to solve.
Making a mobile phone camera?
This did not touch Li Guojun’s knowledge blind spot, because after Changtian Technology acquired Haiou, some of the technical information provided to Haiou included mobile phone cameras.
Moreover, Chen Xiao had a very serious talk with Li Guojun and told him that the market demand for digital cameras or high-precision optical lenses for photolithography machines is not that big.
What can really make Haiou rise is the mobile phone camera, so Chen Xiao asked Li Guojun to seriously prepare a technical team and conquer the patented technology related to mobile phone cameras according to the technology handed over by Changtian Technology.
Li Guojun is a smart man. After Haiou was acquired by Changtian Technology, both performance and technology have doubled. Therefore, Changtian Technology said that mobile phone cameras are very important. Of course, Li Guojun attaches great importance to it.
During this year, Haiou has been making crazy breakthroughs in mobile phone camera technology according to the technical guidelines given by Changtian Technology.
At present, the mobile phone camera technology in the hands of Haiou has achieved good results.
The pixels can reach 12 million, and it can also shoot 720P videos, and supports up to 2584×1944 pixel photos.
This kind of camera technology is far ahead in the entire industry.
Because the most advanced smartphone at present, the Nokia N95, only uses a 5-megapixel camera.
The camera used in the first-generation Apple iPhone 2G was only 2 million pixels.
As far as taking pictures is concerned, if you put Seagull's 12-megapixel camera on a feature phone, it will be absolutely unrivaled.
After the 2008 Olympic Games, Xia Guo will fully enter the smartphone era.
Chen Xiao is now preparing to make a lot of money from some waste products before Xia Guo fully enters the era of smartphones, bringing a perfect end to the era of feature phones.
After Chen Xiao expressed his thoughts, the entire senior management of Changtian Technology immediately understood what the boss wanted to do.
Entering the mobile phone market with a feature phone is a sign of weakness to the current big players in the mobile phone market.
The feature phone is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera that even the smartphone Nokia's N95 does not have. This tells the entire mobile phone market that Changtian Technology is not just playing around after acquiring Bird, but is going to make real products.
Chen Xiao asked Wenqi: "Wenqi, based on what you know so far, how long will it take to assemble these parts into a mobile phone with the production capacity of waveguides?"
Wen Qi said: "The waveguide production line is very powerful. It may not take half a month to assemble these parts into a finished machine."
The waveguide production line is currently an independent factory plus OEM model. This model is very common in this era and the efficiency is also very high.
When integrating the waveguide industry chain, Chen Xiao is also preparing to merge some of Waveguide's independent factories into Tiangong Technology.
Chen Xiao asked Li Guojun again, "Mr. Li, how long does it take for Haiou to produce 50,000 12-megapixel cameras?"
Li Guojun is very knowledgeable about his company. "At present, our orders for photolithography machines have basically been delivered. The end of the year is the slow sales season for SLR cameras, so we have also stopped some lens production lines for SLR cameras based on the actual situation."
"The production process and technological content of producing a 12-megapixel mobile phone camera is much simpler than that of a SLR camera. If all our production lines go all out, I expect it to be delivered in less than half a month."
Haiou was originally a major camera and optical manufacturer in Xia State, with its size and output. After being invested by Changtian Technology, it even improved and expanded its production line, so producing 50,000 cameras is just a piece of cake.
Then the next thing is the most important thing.
After Changtian Technology acquires Bird, who is the leader of Bird?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Changtian Technology will vigorously develop its mobile communications business in the future.
From hardware to ecological chain, these are industries that Chen Xiao values very much.
Then the head of the waveguide is particularly important.
Everyone looked at Chen Xiao and waited for Chen Xiao's decision.
After Chen Xiao promoted Sun Dong as the CEO of Mozi Communications, everyone knows that Changtian Technology's appointment of senior executives does not depend on your academic qualifications at all, but on your actual ability and whether you can gain the company's trust.
Chen Xiao said: "I appointed Wenqi as the CEO of Bird Technology Co., Ltd., and I will assist Wenqi as the assistant to the general manager until Bird is sorted out."
Wang Xiang strongly agrees with Chen Xiao's decision, because Wen Qi is indeed someone worthy of everyone's trust.
The other senior executives immediately understood that Chen Xiao was deliberately cultivating Wenqi so that Wenqi could enter the core circle of Changtian Technology.
If Chen Xiao promotes other newcomers, the senior management of Changtian Technology will definitely have objections. Although they won't say it, they may feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
But Chen Xiao promoted Wen Qi, and everyone unanimously approved of it.
Because Wen Qi is not only Chen Xiao's college classmate, but in the eyes of many people, she is Chen Xiao's confidante.
Wen Qi's performance this year is indeed very impressive, and she has the ability to serve as CEO. Plus, with Chen Xiao personally assisting her, there is absolutely no problem.
Wen Qi opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe Chen Xiao's arrangement.
In the eyes of others, this is definitely a fat loss. If nothing else, the year-end bonus is at least several million.
But in Wen Qi's view, this is a responsibility and Chen Xiao's trust in herself.
That's how things were settled.
The senior executives of Changtian Technology are in their respective positions and working intensively.
After the meeting, Chen Xiao patted Wen Qi on the shoulder and said, "Don't feel pressured. Just do it according to your own ideas, just like when we did practical homework together in school."
She smiled and said, "With you carrying me from behind, I won't feel any pressure."
Chen Xiao admired the girl's smile.
Wen Qi's smile is like a blooming white orchid, with the beautiful curve of the corners of her mouth rising, showing a little confidence.
"Men and women match each other, so the work is not tiring." Chen Xiao joked and went out for dinner with Wen Qi.
In Yanjing, Nokia headquarters immediately informed the Nokia headquarters in Espot, Finland, of Changtian Technology's acquisition of Bird and its intention to enter the mobile phone industry as quickly as possible.
Nokia CEO Ollila received the relevant situation report just after the meeting ended.
The main content of this Ollila meeting is to discuss Nokia's wholly-owned acquisition of Symbian.
Although Nokia is Symbian's largest shareholder, it does not fully control Symbian.
With the popularity of Nokia Symbian system smartphones around the world, Nokia has also realized the importance of controlling the operating system.
But currently, around the world, mobile phones using Symbian system are not only Nokia, but also Dopod, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, etc., etc., these global first- and second-tier brands, and even some similar to Xia Guo
Dongcom, BBK, TCL Waveguide and other unpopular brands.
In Ollila's view, the mobile operating system is the key to controlling the voice of mobile phones. Monopolizing Symbian can monopolize the global smartphone market.
Therefore, it is imperative for Nokia to acquire Symbian.
After seeing the news from Nokia's headquarters in Yanjing, Ollila became even more convinced of this idea.
Changtian Technology is an old acquaintance of Nokia. This time it entered the mobile phone industry with great fanfare, it had to attract Ollila's attention.
