After 12 o'clock, Yao Yuan received the call as expected.
The subordinates reported and tidied up, and it was already 2 o'clock when they went to bed. They got up on time the next day and went to work in a happy mood without feeling sleepy at all.
Entering August, the heat in Beijing has subsided and it is finally getting cooler.
It is more than ten kilometers from Xiangshan Villa to Yingshi Building, and it normally takes about half an hour, excluding traffic jams.
There was a traffic jam today.
"..."
Yao Yuan waited boredly and looked around. From time to time he would see couples walking out of the hotel with lingering lingering memories from last night, looking happy and sweet. He took a few glances without interest and focused on the trash can.
In later generations, when celebrating Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, May 20th, Christmas, and New Year, it is said that intact flowers, dolls and various gifts will be dug out of the trash can.
I don’t know if it exists now.
Xiao Mo was also very bored, so he turned on the radio and played traffic information and morning news. He just mentioned what happened during the Chinese Valentine's Day yesterday, and also played a song, "Lovesickness" by Mao Amin.
He listened and suddenly asked: "Boss, why is lovesickness associated with Hongdou?"
"Red beans taste bitter and slightly poisonous, very much like lovesickness."
"Then why do mung beans have to be paired with bastards?"
"Mung beans clear away heat, detoxify and remove internal heat. Tortoise is a great tonic, but lovesickness is too bitter, so tortoise is paired with mung beans and red beans are paired with acacia."
"drop!"
Xiao Mo stepped on the accelerator and gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.
The car continued to move forward slowly. On the bus stop next to it, a passenger who was full of "not punching in and deducting money" temperament kept looking at the time. Finally, he simply stopped waiting and turned around and ran into an alley, looking for some kind of traffic.
tool.
Yao Yuan looked at the man and asked: "Mo'er, if you were not a driver but an ordinary office worker, would you install a taxi app?"
“What is a taxi app?”
"Users and taxi drivers are installed separately, users make calls on their mobile phones, and pay in cash."
"Oh, just use your mobile phone to call a taxi..."
Xiao Mo thought for a while and said: "The demand in Beijing should be quite big. If it were me, I would pretend, especially when it rains and snows, it is too difficult to get a taxi."
"Cheng Wei wants to do this and officially resign next year."
Yao Yuan had nothing to hide from Xiao Mo and sighed: "Should I say it or not, I am very good at using Cheng Wei. It will be difficult to find someone with the same level."
Xiao Mo was hesitant to speak, but couldn't help but said: "Boss, I'm just talking nonsense, don't mind. I've tried all three candidates, and they feel pretty much the same, but that fat guy has a lively temperament and talks funny, so why not find someone else?"
I am happy."
"Did you take the money?"
"No, no! What did you say!"
Yao Yuan's simple words made Xiao Mo almost jump up, and said hurriedly: "My relationship with them is absolutely pure, and my loyalty to you can be seen from time to time! Oh my, it's all my talk, I won't talk anymore."
"Ah……"
Yao Yuan smiled.
After a while, the car finally got out of the congested road.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never know what the first car is doing - probably the daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law blocked the husband and mistress who had just bought a house in the car, and they were acting violently and pulling their hair on the road, which also caused
A traffic accident.
…
"Good morning, Mr. Yao!"
"Morning!"
"morning!"
When Yao Yuan arrived at Yingshi Building, Cheng Wei was sweeping the floor in the office. This job could be left to the cleaners, but Cheng Wei has always done it himself.
After he finished sweeping, he made tea, brought it to the table, and asked: "Boss, how are the sales?"
“Not bad, better than the 1st and 2nd generation.”
"Hey, there must be a visitor today."
"Depending on their response speed, it may not be certain. It may be tomorrow."
Yao Yuan sat down and started his day's work. He first looked at the details of the first-day pre-sales of Meizu 3. The telecom version had 300,000 units ordered in one day, and most of the addresses were in the south.
At this rate, all Meizu 3 supplies will be sold out within three days.
"It's better to be conservative!"
With the market and reputation accumulated by two generations of machines, Yao Yuan somewhat underestimated the popularity of Meizu 3 among users. Looking at the rapidly rising data, he immediately asked Cheng Wei to inform him about the pre-sale limit of 500,000 yuan.
Then I looked at the latest downloads of WeChat.
The updated version the night before yesterday was officially recommended at yesterday's press conference. As of this morning, 1 million people had downloaded WeChat in a short period of time.
"Hooking up is indeed the primary productive force!"
Yao Yuan said this, but in fact it was just a gimmick. When a software is promoted in the early stage, it must have enough gimmicks to attract people.
What he saw from this was the madness of the smartphone market this year. There were more than 20 million units in the first half of the year, and it was only August, so he didn’t know how many more had been sold.
Mobile phone + channel + content, only when they are unified can WeChat be blocked.
…
In the blink of an eye it was afternoon.
Cheng Wei came to report excitedly: "The people from China Unicom are here!"
"Oh, it's faster than expected!"
He looked at his watch and said, "I'll be there in half an hour."
"good!"
Yao Yuan had nothing to do, but he had to wait for half an hour and let the other party wait for a while. When the time was almost up, he got up and went to the reception room, where sat the vice president of China Unicom who he often dealt with.
"Brother Yao, you are such a busy person!"
"Sorry, sorry, I've been busy with overseas acquisitions, and something unexpected happened every now and then."
"It's understandable that the United States always goes back on its word and doesn't want to be a loser."
The vice president shared the same hatred for a while, then immediately turned to his own topic and said: "Meizu 3 is great. Since the emergence of smart phones in China, this is the most cost-effective one.
You are very courageous. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to sell it at this price. 1,999 yuan, plus the subsidy of the contract machine, it will be even lower, tsk tsk..."
The vice president sighed repeatedly, as if he saw a scene of huge crowds of people rushing to grab something.
Do you really think Chinese people are very rich?
Everyone saves 500,000, but has an idle house and car?
The iPhone 4 is so popular, but its domestic sales are only a few million units. Yes, it is very powerful, but in the entire smartphone market, it is small.
The three major operators have long reached a consensus that they must develop the high-end market as well as the low-end market.
That’s why they went crazy to promote the Thousand Yuan Contract Machine, which is like Pinduoduo and reflects the truest level of national income.
But the problem comes again. The mid-range market is extremely out of stock, and only domestically produced phones are Meizu.
1999 yuan is the standard version, with 1G memory, 4G capacity, and 16G and 32G versions, the price is more than 2,000 yuan - so it is regarded as a mid-range product.
However, Meizu, this mid-range product, has mid-to-high-end performance.
Approximately two words: sales volume!
They even have a hunch that Meizu 3 may break the record again...
The three major operators are all wooing Meizu. The vice president doesn’t know what conditions Telecom offered to get the first launch, but he estimates that the situation is similar to his own.
We talked about it before, but we didn't reach an agreement.
Now that the pre-sale is out on the first day, China Unicom can't sit still anymore and has been negotiating all over the place.
Yao Yuan sat on the sofa, without the so-called pressure of negotiation, and was extremely peaceful, saying: "I still have the same conditions. The mobile phone manufacturers you coordinate and cooperate with, let them block the pre-installed WeChat, and we can sign the contract right away."
