Friday, October 12th.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuo appeared again at the Lubei Germination Building, preparing to attend the Maili x2 technology seminar.

before the meeting.

Gu Mingzhang reported something to Zhang Shuo, "Mr. Zhang, you proposed to set up a joint maintenance center at the prefectural level with Xiaomi and other friends, but Xiaomi and the others declined."

"Warwick also refused?" Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes."

"It's really unexpected."

Zhang Shuo was surprised at first, and then relieved. This kind of thing was probably not reported to the level of Renzong within Warwick, and was cut off by the senior executive in charge of the mobile phone business.

This is also a common problem among large companies.

As for Xiaomi, ov, etc. rejecting it, I guess they are a little bit upset after seeing the success of Maili x1.

This is also human nature.

If it were Zhang Shuo a year ago, after being rejected, he would probably have a self-esteem attack, and he would definitely leave Xiaomi and the others aside, determined to be a lone wolf, and fight alone in the mobile phone industry.

But it doesn’t work!

It's not that Zhang Shuo doesn't have the confidence to lead Maili Group to surpass Pingguo and Sanxing's mobile phone business, but time waits for no one, and there is not much time left for Maili Group.

If you really want to be like a lone wolf, you may be brave, but you may screw things up.

This is not what Zhang Shuo wants to see.

A real hero is not about showing off his courage or trying to be quick, but about getting things done.

This requires greater wisdom and structure.

"In this case, you can make an appointment for me with the heads of these friendly businessmen to come to Binhai City to discuss important matters."

Since Gu Mingzhang's intervention could not push this matter forward, Zhang Shuo could only take action himself.

Of course.

He is going to arrange a meeting with several big guys in Binhai City, and the discussion will not just be about trivial matters such as setting up a joint repair center, but will inevitably involve major matters involving the overall situation of the mobile phone industry.

In order for Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to unite and compete healthily, Zhang Shuo is bound to throw out bait.

and.

According to the appetite of Rebus and others, this bait can't be too shabby.

As for what kind of bait it was, Zhang Shuo already had an idea in his mind. He had thought about it while walking on the university campus. He originally wanted to drag it back.

Seeing the situation now, I decided to throw out the bait in advance.

Time waits for no one!

"good!"

Seeing that his boss wanted to gather all the major mobile phone manufacturers together, Gu Mingzhang knew that what the boss wanted to discuss must be something more than just a joint repair center.

But the boss didn't mention it, so Gu Mingzhang couldn't ask more questions.

On the contrary, Zhang Shuo came to the Maili Group headquarters and couldn't help but be concerned about the latest situation of Maili x1. He asked Gu Mingzhang: "Is the production capacity of Maili x1 stable and can it meet the sales demand?"

"To be honest, it's a bit dangerous."

Gu Mingzhang did not dare to hide it and explained: "Maili Electronics' Guancheng factory is already working three shifts around the clock, with people and machines constantly working, but it can only increase the output to the limit - 120,000 units per day.

"

This is equivalent to an average of 1.4 mobile phones being assembled every second.

But even this was not enough. After entering October, as the reputation of Maili x1 continued to ferment, the sales volume also climbed steadily, with the average daily sales approaching 130,000 units.

If we hadn't prepared some stock in advance, we would be out of stock now.

This made Gu Mingzhang very ashamed.

Thinking back to the beginning, it was Zhang Shuo who strongly advocated that when Maili

otherwise.

According to the current sales trend, Maili x1 will be out of stock late, let alone open up overseas markets.

It can be said.

It was Zhang Shuo who single-handedly helped Maili Group avoid a major production capacity crisis.

"Fortunately, the construction speed of the Jiangcheng factory is very fast. Before the holidays, in view of the promising sales of Maili

We are worried about the production capacity of tablet x1." Gu Mingzhang said.

Electronic assembly factories are mostly prefabricated steel structures, and the construction speed of the factory buildings is still very fast.

Relevant assembly line equipment has also been booked long ago.

Including the training of workers, because Zhang Shuo kept a close eye on it, he never failed to ensure that after the installation and debugging of the production line was completed, they could start work as soon as possible.

Finally, the crisis of Mai Li x1 being out of stock was avoided.

Looking at the three stars, HTC has started a price war, and the results are also coming fiercely. China's high-end smartphone market is undergoing a battle between dragons and tigers, but production capacity cannot be lost.

If that were the case, Gu Mingzhang would probably have to take the blame and resign.

In order to ensure that the Jiangcheng factory was put into operation smoothly while keeping an eye on the progress of the Guancheng factory, Xu Maocai, who had been promoted to vice president of Maili Group, had to start flying back and forth between the two cities.

"What about the supply chain? Is it stable? Has anything happened?" Zhang Shuo continued to ask.

No wonder he is so serious.

In fact, the success of Maili x1 is related to the planning of Germination in the next few years. There is really no room for failure and must be ensured to be foolproof.

"The supply chain is also very stable."

Gu Mingzhang explained with a smile: "Due to the unprecedented success of MaiLi

The price has soared, and it is said that Warwick, Xiaomi and other friends are in contact with BYD."

no doubt.

With the success of Maili x1, its production model will also become a new benchmark in the industry. Not only will copycats have the opportunity to imitate it, but major manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OV will also follow suit.

Especially the metal casing, which is the best to imitate and does not involve intellectual property disputes.

foreseeable.

When new models from various mobile phone manufacturers are released next year, all-metal casings will become mainstream.

The result is.

While BYAT's stock price rose, the stock prices of those plastic casing suppliers plunged.

Generally not favored.

It can be seen that Maili Group has initially gained the ability to control the mobile phone supply chain.

In order to please the Maili Group, the more than two dozen lucky people who have been selected as suppliers by Maili will naturally cherish the current cooperation opportunity and give priority to providing spare parts for Maili x1 with high quality and quantity.

Don't dare to neglect at all.

It’s not for anything else, just because there are a bunch of suppliers nearby who are trying their best to get into the Maili Group’s supplier list for next year, and they can’t wait to replace them with the current ones.

Who dares to slack off anymore?

Although mobile phone integration manufacturers are highly involved, suppliers are even more involved.

There is no ultimate volume, only more volume.

"After this supply peak has passed, Maili Group will conduct a review of its suppliers one by one, and may eliminate some unsatisfactory suppliers and add some new ones."

The dominant Maili Group naturally wants to select the best among the best.

After several rounds like this, you will basically control the lifeblood of upstream and downstream suppliers, telling them to go east and never dare to go west, and you will even have to find ways to meet the various stringent requirements put forward by Maili Group.

This is the reality of the industrial chain.

"You can make your own decisions about suppliers. I just emphasize that if it is not done well, even if there are budding investments involved in the investment, if it is time to replace it, you must replace it resolutely."

Zhang Shuo still gave full trust to Gu Mingzhang.

But again.

Sprout investment is definitely not a talisman for suppliers.

Zhang Shuo would rather fail in his investment, but also ensure that the supply chain of Maili

………

The two talked in the office for more than half an hour before attending the technical seminar together.

Because the discussion was about the design direction of the MaiLi x2, due to the need for high confidentiality, the specifications of this internal seminar were very high.

In addition to Zhang Shuo, only a few big names such as Song Yun, vice president and technical director of Maili Group, Xue Tao, general manager of the software division, and general manager of the hardware division attended.

Song Yun was responsible for coming up with the first draft of the design of Maili x2.
