Jia Hui lowered her head and responded with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, but in any case it was her own management that made a mistake and she was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Don't just know. We should seize the time in the past few days to select a few capable people to supervise there and restore order as soon as possible. We have finally solved the problem of raw materials. We cannot capsize in the gutter."
Ye Chen continued.
"oh!"
"By the way, where have you been these days?
I haven’t seen you much. I haven’t seen you since I was raped last time. What have you been doing?”
“Do whatever you want, go to work, attend meetings, have dinner with clients, what else can you do?
I just finished dinner with a client, and you scolded me as soon as I came back!"
Jia Hui threw her chopsticks angrily.
"I'm not scolding you, I'm just telling you what you should do."
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "By the way, how about the R&D department?
Didn’t Xu Zhiyuan say he had made some major breakthrough last time?”
"I don't know anything about the R&D department. They are all your darlings. People there walk with their heads held high, but people in other departments still complain. If they can't produce meaningful results, everyone may
Not convinced anymore."
Jia Hui's face didn't look good when she said this, and she didn't seem to agree with Ye Chen's behavior of investing most of the funds in the R&D department.
Ye Chen was not surprised. After all, the company's finances were only so small. If the R&D department took the big part, the marketing department would have to take the small part.
But the current situation in China is that whose marketing department is more aggressive will have better product sales.
Giving people the least amount of money and asking them to make the sharpest spear is indeed a bit embarrassing.
What he envisioned was that through high investment in the R&D department, he would eventually produce market-leading products, which would give the marketing department an absolute advantage when occupying the market.
Only in this way can a company's development enter a positive cycle.
But to put it simply, once the R&D department cannot produce anything, the finances will be in ruins.
"Other departments are just complaining, but the finance department hates the R&D department. Now when Lao Li, who is in charge of finance, sees Mr. Xu, he feels like he is an enemy. When they meet, they want to have a fight."
Jia Hui continued.
"Normally, there is a relationship between cooperation and competition between various departments."
"Okay, this is your business. I have nothing to do with it. I have some things to deal with. I'm going to go now. Bye!"
After saying that, Jia Hui picked up the plate in her hand and left.
After Ye Chen finished eating, he hurried towards the R&D department.
I've been visiting the market for a while now and haven't paid much attention to it.
At this time, the R&D department was still as lively as ever. Since the new regulations were promulgated, each group was laughing openly and laughing secretly.
After all, these many people are researching in the same direction, and whoever makes results will be able to stand in a higher position.
As soon as Ye Chen entered, he saw Xu Zhiyuan taking off his gloves and walking outside.
"Hey, Mr. Ye, you're finally here. I went to your office several times to look for you but couldn't find anyone!"
Xu Zhiyuan said with some surprise.
"There are big things going on in the company during this period, so I'm often away. What's wrong? Has there been any results?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Yes! That's great! Let's go to the office and talk about it!"
"Walk!"
As soon as he entered the office, Xu Zhiyuan closed the door and window, poured Ye Chen a glass of water, and said happily: "Mr. Ye, the battery direction you mentioned to us last time is indeed a good one, and the most important thing is that this thing
Logically speaking, we need to constantly experiment with materials to find the best size.
But when we did the first experiment, we used the size you specified, and it worked! Not to mention anything else, it saved a lot of time and money!"
"Wait a minute, you mean you have already developed the nickel-metal hydride battery?"
"It has passed the experimental stage, and we are debugging some details now, but it is just a process. This thing is not high-tech in nature. It is very simple once you get the hang of it!"
Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"When can we start mass production?"
"Next week."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Ye Chen took a sip of tea, said three hellos in a row, and suppressed the joy in his heart.
"Tell me about the data. How much is the improvement compared to Sony's ni-cd nickel-cadmium battery?"
"That's a huge improvement. The battery life of Ni-CD nickel-cadmium batteries is generally 3 hours. Even if Sony's products have lower power consumption, it can be extended by up to 30 minutes.
The battery life of our nickel-metal hydride battery is 8 hours, and this is because we have no way to control the power consumption. If we focus on power consumption in the future, I am confident that the battery life of the product can be increased to 9 hours!"
"As for other aspects..." Xu Zhiyuan scratched his head as he spoke, "For example, in terms of sound quality, fineness, noise reduction, sound balance, etc., we are still far behind."
"It's okay, it's not important."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Compared to Sony, we are originally a small company. We are small and broad. We only need to have one outstanding feature. It is not realistic to completely surpass it in a short time."
Ye Chen said, stood up, patted Xu Zhiyuan on the shoulder and said: "Complete the process as soon as possible and start mass production. We must ensure that the new product will be launched before October! You are all the heroes of the company. After the product is launched, it is your turn
The bonus will not be less than a penny."
"Thank you Mr. Ye!"
After coming out of the R&D department, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The stars are twinkling and the moon is as full as a disk, all of them are working hard to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ye Chen had no intention of watching, so he dragged his exhausted body directly home. After dinner, he fell into bed and fell asleep in less than five minutes.
…
Early the next morning, the company held a regular morning meeting.
Ye Chen sat on the table and ate while looking at the report. After reading it, he closed it and said, "The marketing department has performed well during this period. Although it has begun to decline in terms of data, this is not your problem."
"Mr. Ye, Sony has started to cut prices. The price of the high-end entry-level product of the Walkman has dropped to 699. This is a big threat to us."
Liu Xiao said with some worry.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, our products have no advantage compared to Sony, so we can only make a fuss about marketing in another way, but..."
The speaker hesitated to speak, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
It's nothing more than crying for poverty and giving away money.
"Mr. Ye, with all due respect, we have invested too much in the R&D department. People from other departments are asking for money at my door. It's difficult!"
The person from the finance department said with a sad face.
Others also looked at Ye Chen, hoping that he would reduce his investment in the R&D department and turn around and take the money to the marketing department. Fighting for the market is the last word!
Tens of millions of dollars have been invested in the R&D department, and not even a cent has been seen. This is a private enterprise. If this were a state-owned enterprise, the Discipline Inspection Commission would have come to investigate whether the funds had been misappropriated.
How can there be such a big injustice?
Ye Chen was not surprised by the performance of these people, but instead took out a document and distributed it to everyone.
"This is the latest achievement of our R&D department. Take a look. After mass production, although it is still not as good as Sony, it is not without a chance of winning."
