Chapter 158: It seems to be stable, but in reality, it is urgent
Shangdu.
In a guest room of a five-star hotel, there was a foreigner living here, and it turned out to be Robert Egger.
Robert has been busy lately. He flew here during the premiere of "Avatar 2". It was originally a promising start. The two years of preparation were just about to start a bumper harvest. There was a press conference for Coastline Company.
Yu poured cold water on Hollywood and the global film industry and cooled down from the excitement, even shuddering about the future.
For PHC, it can be said that it is like facing a formidable enemy. Originally, Robert didn't care. Your Shoreline Company is engaged in technology products, and I, Disney, sell content. They are two completely unrelated fields. They do not interfere with each other and have no influence on each other.
There is no direct conflict of interest, but they still make a lot of money together and have fun.
But now that phc has emerged, he feels that the whole situation has changed immediately. Disney feels that it can no longer play happily. phc has the ability to impact the entire film industry, and Disney's interests will also suffer huge losses.
To solve this problem, the only way to untie the bell is to tie the bell. Otherwise, Robert and his gang, who were originally busy making money in the film market, would not have rushed to Shangdu in person at this time.
At this time, the phone rang. Robert Egger looked at the phone screen and answered: "Zhang..."
On the other end of the communicator, Zhang Zhizhong, the head of Disney's Greater China Region, sent a reply: "Mr. Robert, I just received the news that Ye Hua will not come to the reception tonight. He declined because of busy company affairs."
"What? He's not coming? Are you sure?" Robert couldn't help but raise his voice.
Robert cursed secretly, with a warm and angry expression on his face. At this time, Zhang Zhizhong said: "If he doesn't come, there will be no point in continuing this cocktail party. Sir, how do you plan to deal with it?"
After digesting the news, Robert Egger quickly calmed down the anger in his heart. After carefully thinking about the other party's motivation for refusing, he suddenly understood why Ye Hua did what he did.
He sighed with a helpless smile and said, "It seems that dealing with him is not an easy task."
Zhang Zhizhong on the phone also responded with approval: "Yes sir, Ye Hua cannot be viewed as an ordinary young person. His young appearance hides a shrewd heart that is better than that of a shopping mall veteran who has been in business for many years."
No more concessions at all.”
Robert didn't want to flatter the other party here anymore. He was feeling unhappy all over his body. He immediately changed the subject and said: "If he doesn't come to the cocktail party tonight, it won't work. Zhang, you go ask him when he is free."
Saying this sentence means surrendering and admitting that Coastline Company is the real C position and the core.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhizhong on the other side replied in surprise: "Mr. Robert, you may not have guessed another point. He had already expected that you would say this, and gave me a reply early, on the 4th."
Hearing this, Robert Egger was stunned for a while, obviously surprised by this, which made him realize that this young man must be treated with equal status without any slightest contempt.
However, Robert Egger is also a good person. Zhang Zhizhong’s words also allowed him to obtain potential information, that is, Ye Hua is willing to come. This information is so crucial. What he fears most is that people will not come. Being able to come means everything
It's negotiable.
With a decision in his mind, Robert Egger immediately replied: "Okay, Zhang, please inform the others that tonight's reception is canceled and postponed to the same time period the day after tomorrow."
"Understood, I'll deal with it right away."
…
As time goes by, morning approaches.
Because the pre-sale of PHC started in the early hours of tonight, Ye Hua showed a determined side to the outside world at the morning press conference. He is a high-spirited and emerging technology leader.
But the launch of this product still puts a lot of pressure on him. Although he has completed a series of business layouts, games, virtual idols, communities, etc., all of them are for one purpose.
, that is to sell phc.
During the question-and-answer session in the morning, a media reporter asked Ye Hua questions about whether consumers would buy into the sky-high price of 49,999 yuan for a single set of PHC machines.
50,000 yuan is not an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but to spend so much money on a set of consumer electronic products, the price of this set of products is tantamount to a sky-high price, although people do not deny that PHC is completely worth the price tag.
When answering the reporter's question, Ye Hua was naturally confident. He had to answer this way, and only this answer was given to the outside world. There were a large number of people behind him. If Ye Hua had no confidence, something big would happen.
But in fact, he was not calm inside, nor was he as calm and determined as he was at the previous press conference.
The first phase of the PHC machine production capacity is to produce 3 million sets in large quantities. The total investment cost is 137.5 billion yuan, equivalent to 20 billion US dollars, and the total production capacity this year is scheduled to be 20 million sets.
The first phase of orders has now been outsourced. In addition to Intel, which is responsible for supplying chips, there are also more than 400 and nearly 500 manufacturers in major supply chains supporting PHC. These suppliers jointly share the coastline.
US$14.6 billion of the US$20 billion investment is equivalent to an investment of 100 billion yuan.
A supply chain with PHC machines as its core is being formed, just like the supply chain formed with Apple's iPhones as its core. Thousands of people have become employed relying on orders from Coastline Company. Hundreds of companies have
The company relied on orders from Coastline Company, becoming their largest customer.
For Ye Hua, spending 20 billion US dollars is equivalent to spending almost all the money earned in 2020 last year this year. The company's current circulating capital is only 13.7 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 20
billion US dollars.
The landlord’s family doesn’t have much leftover food!
Ye Hua has not forgotten that the construction of the company's new headquarters has been eating up operating expenses. The 13.7 billion yuan will not cover it for long.
The failure of phc will mean that last year's efforts have been wasted.
With such risks, it is impossible to say that Ye Hua is not under pressure.
As the leader of the company, you have to bear all these pressures yourself, and you cannot tell others, including Qiao Wei, especially your subordinates. Not only can you not tell them, but you must also show strong self-confidence in front of your subordinates to stabilize military morale and boost morale.
.
Because if the "coach" panics, the "soldiers" under his command will naturally panic too.
After the press conference, Ye Hua did not go back to the company. Instead, he went home directly, and then spent the next day at the manor playing golf, playing in the indoor swimming pool, and making love with Lan Ping.
On the contrary, it was Qiao Wei. As the assistant to the CEO, Ye Hua suddenly missed work for a day. She was quite busy. The 3rd was an extremely important day for the company because the PHC pre-sale started.
He Hao and other senior management of the company are helpless. The boss actually doesn't come to work at this time. Isn't he worried about the pre-sale problem of PHC?
He Hao was frightened by the investment of 20 billion US dollars. In fact, the entire company's senior management were looking forward to this day with great anxiety, but they didn't expect that their immediate boss would be so relaxed and happy.
On the next day, February 4, Ye Hua came to the company early in the morning.
The first day's pre-sale data has been settled anyway, and the operation department will send the report soon. At this time, Ye Hua in the office is not very calm. The first day's pre-sale data can also be understood to a large extent.
137.5 billion was invested in it, and he didn’t want PHC to be a product that was well-received but not popular.
"Please come in!"
Hearing the figure knocking on the door, Ye Hua immediately adjusted his state. All worries and pressures seemed to be contained at this moment, completely unnoticed by outsiders.
Looking at the door of the office, he saw Qiao Wei walking in, and he naturally relaxed a lot.
"The 24-hour pre-sale data is out, guess what it is?"
