Jiafeng's manufacturers started mass-producing mobile phones a few years ago. Now there are sufficient goods in the warehouses of major stores. There are many people entering the store to make reservations, and there are also many people who criticize the false advertising, but more people choose to place orders.
There are less than 24 hours left before Jiaxun mobile phone goes on sale. Overseas affairs have not spread in China. No one in the board of directors is paying attention to the matter of Lu Feng resigning. Everyone is just staring at Jiaxun.
Feng is on sale this time.
Mobile phones are high-end products, and everyone does not approve of domestic products. If Jiafeng opens the market, other manufacturers will inevitably rush in, especially Bird. They have already reached an agreement with technology manufacturers in Xiangjiang. As long as Jiaxun succeeds, they will immediately mass-produce and seize the market.
.
Wu Ying, the person who introduced PHS, was very anxious. The technology introduction was already under contract. The problems he encountered were similar to Lu Feng. The telecommunications group did not cooperate with him. Traditional signal stations could not accept PHS frequencies. In 1996, Telecom
The separation from China Mobile has just ushered in a window of opportunity.
On this day, all the bosses are calling each other even at home. Whether they are former opponents or friends, they are all paying attention to this moment. Everyone knows what a purely domestic mobile phone means to the country in this era.
Someone was not optimistic about Lu Feng on the phone. Mobile phones are different from home appliances. Mobile phones require the cooperation of large infrastructure. At the same time, the requirements for signal chips are relatively high. As long as the signal power is poor, it is equivalent to holding a brick in the hand.
People who know Jiafeng's internal affairs believe that the problem of Lu Feng's failure is not in the product, but within the board of directors. Jiafeng's sports car, known as Flying Spur, is leaving Lu Feng's control and heading towards dismemberment.
On this day, the Science and Technology Committee contacted the heads of several large state-owned enterprises and asked them to use their relationships with the companies to help find a complete set of photolithography machines that fit the model.
Lu Feng ignored the board of directors' request to resign. He held six meetings in the morning and went over every detail, forgetting about overseas matters.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese managers of Motorola and Nokia were paying attention to this matter. They had long noticed the competition of Jiaxun mobile phones, but now the market is not big, and consumers mainly recognize the brand power, so they are not interested in Jiaxun mobile phones.
I didn’t feel much pressure when I started selling mobile phones.
In the conference room, Lu Feng said to everyone: "The sales will officially start tomorrow. What I want is a good start. I will get interviews from various newspapers and TV media. I must keep up with the publicity. I must not only tap new purchasing power, but more importantly,
Seize users of Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and other brands."
"I won't talk about whether our sales are good or not, but we must make ordinary consumers think that our sales are good, and let small business owners who have some money and are ready to invest think that domestic mobile phones are very marketable."
"The market is by no means supported by Jiafeng alone. The domestic mobile phone market must benefit more people before it can grow. In terms of publicity, we must focus on promoting it in places like Huaqiangbei. Only if we can make money, then
There is no shortage of smart people or powerful people, and the problems will be solved one by one."
When everyone in the conference room listened to these words, they felt that Mr. Lu didn't seem to care whether Jiaxun's mobile phone was really popular, he just wanted everyone to think he was popular.
Zhu Lidong knew best what Lu Feng wanted to do now, and raised a question: "Mr. Lu, when the mobile phone market is booming, there is still a problem, and that is communication chips. We all purchase millions of goods at a time to keep in reserve.
What to do with those small bosses?”
"Don't worry, there is no need to worry about these problems for them. As long as there is a market and demand, there will be people who will deal with these problems. We just need to stimulate the market." Lu Feng said to the crowd: "We not only need to make our own mobile phones, but also
Helping others make mobile phones, haven’t we done a lot of OEM home appliances in the past two years? The same goes for mobile phones.”
What Lu Feng wants is very simple. He just wants to let the no-name machines come out. As long as the people in Huaqiangbei see the benefits, the market will prosper, and a prosperous market can support a chip company.
In the evening, as the meeting ended, Lu Feng walked out of the conference room a little tired. As soon as he left the door, he was blocked by Gudley.
"According to the regulations of the board of directors..."
Lu Feng stared at him and said, "Do you believe that I will find a few people from society to kill you?"
"Mr. Lu, you are in business, not in the underworld. Schroeder Group has invested so much money. It is necessary for me to represent our interests and represent our rights within the scope of the board of directors." Gudley stared at Lu Feng and said.
"Don't you just want me to resign? We'll wait until the board of directors process is over. Let me reiterate, I'm not controlling the management, I'm assisting the management in its work." Lu Feng didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and strode towards
Walk downstairs.
Wei Yandan also reported to Lu Feng yesterday that Goodley did not take a break during the New Year and was constantly in contact with the middle management of the company. As the company grew, various factions emerged within the company, and there were already many people who opposed Lu Feng.
If Gudley can win over enough people, he may shake up the top management. After all, they are the ones who elect the representatives of the board of directors. In the small election before the board meeting next year, Wei Yandan and others are likely to be deprived of their representative positions.
Sometimes Lu Feng would be very passive in board meetings.
At this moment, Lu Feng can no longer control so much. The company is too huge, and many forces are stirring internally. To balance the forces of all parties, a very high level of management is required.
What's more, Wall Street is still targeting everyone, and the current situation is already the best Lu Feng can do.
After dinner in the evening and making full preparations, Lu Feng returned home at ten o'clock in the evening, washed briefly and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the New Year atmosphere in Guangzhou and Jiangsu was still strong. Traces of setting off firecrackers could be seen in the streets and alleys. Some stores opened one after another, but they seemed relatively deserted. In comparison, there were more people at the entrance of Wipuda.
The best counter position upon entering originally belonged to Nokia, but now it is also allocated to Jiaxun Mobile. Whether it is the brand at the door or the huge words Jiaxun Mobile on the wall inside, it shows that this mobile phone has an unparalleled status here.
In the store, seven or eight men in their thirties were leaning on the counter and asking questions, holding Jiaxun mobile phones in their hands. They all looked hesitant.
A mobile phone is not a TV, and it is not a necessity for most people nowadays, not to mention that the price of a mobile phone is not even a fraction more expensive than a TV.
"What's the price?" one of the men asked.
"I'm not sure about the price yet. I'll have to ask the head office later. I think this is more cost-effective than foreign brands. It cooperates with the Post and Telecommunications Group. If you apply for network access, you can set two numbers as intimate numbers and make calls.
It doesn’t cost anything.” The clerk explained.
"I've never heard of this brand. If it breaks and you run away, where will we find it?" Another man expressed his worries.
"Hey! Don't worry, this is a big company, does Jiafeng know? All the products in this store are from other people, and Nokia is a big brand, right? We still cooperate." There was a woman who looked like a foreman next to him.
He walked over, pointed to the maintenance and after-sales booth in the store and said, "It's guaranteed within three months, don't worry."
The person next to him couldn't hold it anymore after hearing this, and said: "If I can buy it for less than 7,000 yuan, I will buy it. I only have 7,000 yuan left now."
The female foreman was just about to continue selling when she was called over by someone in the back room who said she had a phone number. After walking in for a few minutes, she came out and said with a smile: "We have news, it's sold for 6,000!"
The price of 6,000 yuan undoubtedly shocked several people at the scene. Among them, the elder brother who had the strongest purchase intention immediately bought one, while the remaining people were also hesitant.
Scenes like this were played out in all Jiafeng stores all morning.
Lu Feng didn't arrive at the company until almost noon. The first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to call Zhu Lidong and Du Guoying over and ask, "How was the sales this morning?"
Du Guoying looked a little surprised, glanced at Zhu Lidong and said, "Mr. Zhu, tell me."
"It's not that big of a data. Let me just say that the data returned by major stores over the phone this morning showed that the sales were pretty good, 900 mobile phones. We have 120 stores in 34 cities in two provinces.
"On average, each store sold 7.5 mobile phones. Some stores in poor geographical locations did not sell any mobile phones. Compared with the shipments of Motorola and Nokia, it is already very high." Zhu Lidong replied.
"In other words, it's okay to sell two thousand mobile phones today?" Lu Feng didn't have too many expressions about this data. He stood there stunned for a while and said: "Let the media publicize that we sold 2,800 mobile phones in one morning. In total,
Sales exceeded 16 million, and I made 4 million in five hours."
"Mr. Lu, we are already losing money, but now we say we make four million, will it make consumers think that the value of our products is low?" Du Guoying reminded.
"I don't care what consumers think. I just want people to think that they can make money for free by making mobile phones. After this report comes out, Mr. Zhu, go to various activities and tell people when you meet them that we can open a full set of assembly lines."
Carry out OEM work." Lu Feng said to Zhu Lidong: "From product grade, appearance design, built-in operating system, except communication chips, we can do it all. They can put whatever brand they want, and lower the threshold.
A hundred units can be put on the assembly line."
"I understand!" Zhu Lidong nodded.
Communication chips have become Lu Feng's pain at the moment. If there is no problem with the lithography machine, it will take less than a few months for communication chips to be produced by himself.
By then, Jiafeng had become a company that was madly exporting various grades of finished mobile phones and accessories to the society, but it was a pity that things didn't work out as planned.
As Zhu Lidong announced the news of Jiaxun mobile phone, it quickly aroused great attention in the industry. The sales volume of 2,800 units in one morning really surprised many people.
Many people are estimating that if Jiaxun mobile phones can sell a few hundred units on the first day, they are already selling them in two provinces. But now this data makes people wonder, are there so many rich people in the country?
