"Mr. Li, what does this mean in the company? Don't you believe us?" Shi Lei, a workshop director from the production department of the company's first factory, asked with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone after seeing Li Mumu.
Shi Lei is also an old employee. He came in when the first factory was built and just started recruiting people for production. He is a veteran figure.
He is very smart and thoughtful, and he studies and works very hard. At this time, the company lacks a large number of managers, so he boldly applied for the job. Unexpectedly, he was actually accepted, and he became a grassroots manager in just a few years. Within a short period of time, I became the workshop director and got to where I am today.
After achieving success in the workplace, Shi Lei inevitably made some irregularities in some small aspects.
After receiving a notice this morning and seeing that the company had given the newly established audit department the job functions, and that all future submitted projects must be reviewed by the audit department before entering the formal approval process, Shi Lei wondered if this rule was for his?
But Li Mumu was different from what he thought.
Li Mumu quickly accepted the existence of the audit department. Seeing Shi Lei's expression and attitude, he frowned slightly: "Director Shi, isn't this a normal work arrangement? What are you worried about?"
"I...I'm not worried about anything, Mr. Li. Our company has used a process very smoothly for so many years, and the rhythm in all aspects is also very familiar. Now a process is suddenly added. Do you think this will disrupt it?" The pace of work reduces work efficiency.”
"Director Shi, do your job well. The addition of the audit department is a general work adjustment for the company. As long as the projects you declare are compliant and legal, why are you worried?" Li Mumu said with a serious expression.
"As for the efficiency issue, the boss is not worried. I also believe that Manager Zuo and the others will be able to adjust this. What are you worried about?" Li Mumu said.
His two words left Shi Lei speechless. He obviously had a lot to say, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
After Li Mumu finished speaking, he left. He thought about Shi Lei's attitude just now and what he wanted to express. He knew clearly what Shi Lei was saying, but Shi Lei didn't see the situation clearly. This was the general trend.
How can a decision made by the boss or the company change its strategy just because of the different opinions of Shi Lei, a workshop director?
"It's so stupid. I have worked so hard that I can't even understand such a simple thing." Li Mumu sighed.
Many old employees rely on their seniority. Party A's company has been really good to its employees in recent years. As a result, a small number of old employees have lost their mentality and their ideas are a little eager for quick success.
To be honest, he was also wondering why the boss added an audit department at this time and gave him the authority to review projects.
Li Mumu didn't think about it for a while, or he no longer wanted to think about those things. He sighed, and Li Mumu went into the workshop to inspect the work again.
…
On August 25th, Xiaoai’s pre-sale sales officially exceeded 900,000 units, and are on the way to sales of 1 million units.
This result is very shocking to everyone. Even people inside Tmall Mall were speechless when they saw this pre-sale result and did not know what to say.
Even with a pre-sale deposit of 100 yuan per order, Xiaoai Technology has already collected more than 90 million yuan in pre-sales this time.
Calculated based on the unit price of 599 yuan, the sales volume of these pre-sale sales has reached more than 500 million.
But it is a pity that these four OEM factories worked hard for nearly a month and a half, and in the end they only produced more than 700,000 units, leaving more than 200,000 units that could not be temporarily delivered, and orders need to be arranged until next month.
The more this happens, the more people's desire to buy is stimulated. They feel that with so many people queuing up, there must be something about this product that makes them excited.
Based on this very special mentality, on August 25, when Xiaoai Technology was busy shipping goods, sales orders continued to grow, and at a very fast rate.
In the early morning of August 26, the number of orders exceeded 1 million in one fell swoop.
Even if I had known this would happen, the result was still shocking.
In the eyes of many people, this is a product that sold nearly 600 million yuan in one day, which is even more shocking than the single-day sales record of 200 million yuan set by Jingtong Baby’s online flagship store on Taobao’s Double 11 last year.
It has tripled, and it’s still just one product!
With this suffocating sales record, Jack Ma and Xia Zekai took their respective teams on a plane from Beijing to the United States.
On the way there, Jack Ma was still saying: "If Alibaba Group is successfully listed this time and I have money, I will buy a super luxury private jet."
Xia Zekai didn't care much about Ma Yun's statement, and he wasn't even moved.
He can afford a private jet now, but where to put it after buying it? There is not even an airport in Qicheng. The only small military airport is 40 kilometers away. It is not troublesome enough to use it at critical moments.
.
…
At the same time, Xiaoai Technology is still working overtime to arrange shipments.
Starting from the early morning of August 25th, and shipping all the output of four foundries for more than a month without stopping for several days, the workload is not small at all.
The courier responsible for this shipment was SF Express. Zhang Xu came forward to negotiate with SF Express on behalf of Xiaoai Technology, and finally reached a long-term cooperation agreement.
In this way, it is relatively cheaper to send express delivery.
After Xia Zekai got on the plane, he just thought about it for a while. He didn't want to discuss buying a private jet with Jack Ma at all.
Because it will take almost a month to go to the United States, Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun usually fight and quarrel occasionally, but they can't bear to be apart for such a long time.
Last night, after Xia Zekai put Yatou, Tongtong and Qingyu to sleep early, he returned to the bedroom and fought hand-to-hand with his wife, risking their own lives and even perishing together in the end.
He still feels very empty in his body and is extremely tired, so he just wants to take a nap.
But Jack Ma, a blind guy, kept chattering next to me and had no eyesight at all.
"I said, Lao Ma, can you take a break? You've talked so much, you should dry up your saliva." Xia Zekai said to him.
Ma Yun rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
He turned around and saw that Xia Zekai's eyes were red and swollen, and the circles under his eyes were a little dark. It was obvious that he didn't get enough sleep.
He also asked Xia Zekai with great interest: "Boss Xia, what did you do last night?"
"What did you say you were doing?" Xia Zekai opened his eyes with great effort and glanced at Lao Ma.
Then he seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten that you are old and can no longer appreciate the fun of young people."
"It's just such a trivial matter, but you are so arrogant in what you say. Boss Xia, you are just a common person." Ma Yun was not going to be hit by Xia Zekai's few words. He still had time to retort.
Others saw the two bosses arguing there, but they all remained silent and even tilted their heads to indicate that I neither heard nor saw it.
The direct flight from Beijing International Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport takes about 13 hours.
After resting for a while, I felt very bored. Xia Zekai and Ma Yun chatted for about two hours. After eating, I felt sleepy again.
The two of them fell into a monotonous sleep mode again. They didn't remember how long they slept, but they still remembered that they had two more meals in the middle. Just when Xia Zekai was about to sleep again, the plane announced that they would be arriving soon.
Destination, this flight will stop at JFK International Airport in 20 minutes.
Hearing what was said on the radio, Xia Zekai stood up and prepared to move his body. However, as soon as he stood firm, his legs and feet felt weak. In addition, the plane shook slightly, and he almost fell.
"I said, Boss Xia, you should just sit down and don't cause trouble to the crew." Ma Yun said this, and he also woke up.
"Finally we're here. I've had enough sitting for such a long time." Xia Zekai muttered.
"In the future, there will be more business, and you will have to adapt when you have to fly." Jack Ma is used to it.
Twenty minutes later, the plane, which flew directly from Beijing, stopped at JFK Airport on time. Xia Zekai and Jack Ma got off the plane under the command of the on-site staff.
After I came out, I saw many foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.
Or a foreigner with dark skin.
At this time, Xia Zekai suddenly remembered something. In the eyes of these people, he was also a 'foreigner'.
I wasn't nervous at all, and it didn't even make any waves, but I found it quite interesting.
"Boss Xia, let's find a hotel to rest today and recharge our batteries. We will be busy tomorrow," Ma Yun said.
This trip was mainly for Alibaba Group’s platform and road show.
Xia Zekai cooperated with Jack Ma's arrangements throughout the entire process.
The hotel was also arranged and booked by Jack Ma's people. Naturally, Jack Ma would not treat Xia Zekai badly. It can be said that he booked the most expensive presidential suite in the hotel.
But Xia Zekai's eyes were not on Lao Ma.
Ever since he got off the plane, Xia Zekai's eyes have been wandering on those blond women. He had to admit that in comparison, these people's figures were really amazing.
After Ma Yun saw this scene, he kindly asked him if he wanted to make arrangements for him.
Ma Yun also said: "Don't worry, Boss Xia, this place is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the country, and Mr. Luo won't know about it."
Xia Zekai gave him a roll of his eyes at that time: "Old Ma, who do you think I am? Am I as unpersistent as you?"
"Besides, the more unfamiliar you are in a foreign country, the more protection you have to take. I am young and rich, and my future is limitless. If someone plots against me, I will no longer be a human being inside and out. I don't want to be like Lao Liu."
Xia Zekai said this.
He subconsciously took two steps away from Ma Yun, wondering not to be led astray by the old horse.
When Ma Yun heard what Xia Zekai said, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Who is Old Liu? He was framed in the United States?"
"Then who knows!" Xia Zekai realized that he had let something slip and quickly added, changing the topic.
Lao Ma didn't care about this. He called Xia Zekai to go downstairs to taste the delicious food.
