After Gao Jin made the formal appointment, Xiao Xianchen led Emerson and Kasapa to get busy. The first step was to inspect the currently operating Imperial City Renewable Resources Ecosystem.
The branch factory managers working in the Imperial City Ecosystem had all been Xiao Xianchen's subordinates before, so they were very cooperative and accompanied Xiao Xianchen on the inspection tour.
Xiao Xianchen also started conversations with many people, and returned to the early morning market after a busy few days.
A week later, Xiao Xianchen took action and kicked off the sales integration of each branch factory. He issued a document prohibiting all branch factories from setting up their own sales departments to sell products. All products must be handled by various sales groups under the headquarters sales department.
At the same time, personnel adjustments were also begun, job optimization departments were merged, and some people who were dawdling were eliminated.
Gao Jin looked at the report in the office. He knew very well what Xiao Xianchen was doing. There was no obstruction and he let Xiao Xianchen go.
The large ecosystem of renewable resources has more than a dozen factories in a large ecosystem, with many employees and many people dawdling around. The reform Xiao Xianchen is currently carrying out is officially time.
Reduce some department positions so that people who usually have nothing to do after working only one or two hours will be busy and reduce business costs.
Time has passed slowly for more than half a month, and Xiao Xianchen's department position optimization has been completed. The two major renewable resource systems of Rizao City and Imperial City have built a total of forty-seven departments and eliminated 167 positions.
Thirty-nine people were fired, 69 were persuaded to quit, and the rest were transferred to other departments.
The office efficiency of the entire system has been visibly improved. Things that usually took more than an hour to report back can now be reported back in only thirty minutes.
Intermediate links are reduced and efficiency is improved.
This rectification also made those people who thought that no matter what they did would not affect their jobs wake up and began to change their usual lazy style one by one.
After completing this matter, Xiao Xianchen began to take Emerson and Kasapa to inspect the five major ecological circles currently under construction.
Gao Jin was very satisfied with Xiao Xianchen's approach and no longer cared about this matter.
A month after the peaceful days, a piece of news was exposed by the media, once again putting the Protoss Group on the front pages of global media.
French media reported that the sales volume of the third-generation Starlight mobile phone has exceeded 30 million units, and it is estimated that the sales volume this year is likely to reach 40 million units.
This news shocked the global mobile phone market.
The price of the third-generation Starlight mobile phone is several hundred dollars higher than that of the Apple mobile phone. It is incredible that more than 30 million units have been sold at such a price.
Not only Apple cannot accept this data, but also the top ten manufacturers in the world cannot accept this data, and they have begun to investigate.
Before their investigation was completed, a large American media released specific data, which was collected from online e-commerce, the official website of Starlight Mobile, and the four major retail chain stores in Europe and the United States.
The actual number of third-generation Starlight mobile phones sold to consumers should be more than 3,090,000.
The data listed on the front page are very clear. This is the data as of the 30th of last month. Although the data is from a few days ago, it also explains a lot of things.
This report also reported the news that as of today, there has been no data on consumer returns.
This shocked too many people. No one returned the product, which shows that consumers highly recognize the products they purchased. This shows how highly consumers recognize the third-generation Starlight mobile phone.
As soon as the report appeared, the U.S. stock market immediately changed, with Apple's stock price falling by 10%.
The next day, it was forwarded by major media around the world, causing quite a shock around the world. Everyone who read the report had an idea in their mind.
In the mobile phone industry, Apple may not be able to maintain its dominance.
Many media have begun to take action and began to use questionnaires to interview ordinary consumers on the street and ask them what brand of mobile phones they use.
According to 100,000 surveys in ten cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington.
The proportion of middle- and high-income people using Starlight mobile phones is as high as 72%, the proportion of using Guoguo mobile phones is 17%, and the proportion of using Shanxing mobile phones is 7%.
The remainder are mobile phones of other brands.
Among low-income people, 83% use Apple phones, 11% use third-generation Starlight phones, 2% use the Mountain Star brand, and the rest are
No-brand cell phones.
After this data was disclosed by the American CBN media, Guoguo's stock price began to fall again, with a drop of as much as 13% that day.
The changes in the stock market made Guoguo Mobile become anxious, and immediately issued a notice to convene an emergency board of directors to discuss how to deal with the matter.
One day later, the company's major shareholders had arrived at Guoguo's headquarters. CEO Howard presided over the meeting and reported the company's internal investigation data.
"Gentlemen, our Guoguo mobile phone used to be the spokesperson for high-end mobile phones, but now, the third-generation Starlight mobile phone is the spokesperson for high-end mobile phones."
"Our mobile phone is $900, and theirs is $1,300, which is a full $400 higher than ours."
"Such a price gap has resulted in sales volume no less than ours, which shows that a large number of consumers have begun to abandon our brand."
"Now, I hope all shareholders will take action to curb the development of Starlight Mobile Phones."
"If it is not curbed, Starlight Mobile will become the world's largest mobile phone company in at most two years and become the new overlord of the mobile phone industry."
Howard looked at the directors saying these words with a solemn expression, and all the directors present had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Howard, everything must have a cause and effect. No brand rises without reason."
“If we can’t find the root cause, we still can’t solve the problem.”
"The level is that our actions have temporarily curbed the development of Starlight Mobile Phones. Next time, and next time, we can't let the government issue an administrative order that only sells Guoguo Mobile Phones and does not allow the sale of other mobile phones!"
"You are the CEO of the company"
"Why do you think consumers choose the third-generation Starlight mobile phone and abandon our Guoguo mobile phone?"
The chief director, Bullade, looked at Howard and said these words. The other directors also turned to look at Howard, and they agreed with Bullade's opinion in their hearts.
You are the CEO of a company. If you don’t know why consumers abandon our products, does this company still have a future?
Cook sat silently among the directors. Although his expression was serious, he was extremely happy inside.
A few years ago, Howard teamed up with some directors to push Cook out of the CEO position. In recognition of Cook's hard work, Howard gave Cook some dry shares and allowed Cook to join the board of directors.
Cook is very unwilling to do so. However, Howard has continued to maintain the company's profit growth in recent years, so Cook can only continue to endure.
Well, now that the third-generation Starlight mobile phone has been released, it has become the dominant player in the field of high-end mobile phones. Cook believes that his opportunity to return to the CEO throne has come.
In fact, from the first day the third-generation Starlight mobile phone was launched, Cook knew that his opportunity had come and had already started secretly carrying out activities.
The operation was so secretive that Howard didn't notice it until now.
"Gentlemen, this is caused by many reasons. There is nothing wrong with our business strategy."
"The third-generation Starlight mobile phone introduced an artificial intelligence program, which no one expected. This is a problem caused by technology, not a problem with the company's development and business strategy."
"I think what we need to do most at this moment is to increase investment in the artificial intelligence project team, let them produce results in the short term, and introduce artificial intelligence programs into our Guoguo mobile phone."
"As long as we are not technically weaker than Starlight Mobile, I believe consumers will eventually return to our Guoguo company."
"Because the quality of our Guoguo company has been verified by consumers around the world, and our various practices are also formulated from the perspective of consumers."
"But I need time now, a period of time to change."
"During this period, we are taking a two-pronged approach. I am responsible for coordinating the company's internal technology upgrades, and the directors are responsible for curbing the development of the third-generation Starlight mobile phone."
"It doesn't take much. In a few months, we can return to the top after launching our new products."
"The leader in the global mobile phone industry is still our company Guoguo!"
Howard said this with great certainty, and many people began to think about it.
"Howard, the artificial intelligence project team will not be able to reach the level of intelligence of the current third-generation Starlight mobile phone within a year. I have already asked Ghosn of the artificial intelligence project team."
"This is what Ghosn told me. Our artificial intelligence project research is taking a completely different route from that of Xingling Group. It can be said that both parties have their own advantages."
"It's just that Xingling Group took the lead in breaking through the current difficulties, but we haven't broken through yet. If we want to reach the same level of application, we can't complete it within one year."
"Not only our Guoguo Company cannot complete it, Guge Company also cannot complete it."
"The artificial intelligence of Xingling Group has indeed stood at the top of the earth's artificial intelligence technology pyramid, no one else."
Cook sat there and said these words slowly. The directors were all surprised. They didn't expect that the technical gap was so big. They all turned to look at Howard.
What Cook just said is completely different from what Howard said.
"If you don't believe it, you can call Ghosn immediately and report to the directors." Cook looked at Howard and added, or in other words, he gave Howard another stab.
Howard looked at Cook, and the two people's eyes collided in mid-air, causing lightning and thunder. Howard had a realization in his heart that Cook had not given up his position as CEO.
Now the counterattack begins.
