Chapter 138 The surging mobile phone market and Chen Heyu’s device terminal ambitions

April 1st.

The Lianxiang Moss co-branded mobile phone is sold simultaneously online and offline. Because it is backed by three major operators, it has strong channel strength. In the mid-to-low-end market, it competes with Rebus' Hongmi series products.

.

Hongmi has taken away less than half of its thousand-yuan mobile phone market.

The cumulative sales volume for the month reached 5.3 million units, a 50% increase from the previous month, and the absolute number increased by 1.76 million units, returning to the first place in the market.

"Tell the R&D and Marketing Department to choose another high-end model. Next month we will enter the flagship field."

General Manager Lianxiang announced loudly that the licensing fee was indeed expensive, but he had regained the market share taken away by Daomi and Coolpad.

This 530 million should be spent strategically!

Moreover, he knocked out Sanxing in one fell swoop and won the sales championship in the first month of Q2. This achievement made him shine in the management.

Salary increases, promotions, and equity increases seem to be within easy reach.

It's just a small licensing fee, just give it. Anyway, the price of the mobile phone will increase, so I don't want to bear it.

April 7th.

Huayao has a total of four models, equipped with the most advanced Moss intelligent voice system, and has begun to be put into the market in large quantities.

Huayao aims at the mid-to-high-end market, covering the price range of 1,500 to 3,000 yuan. Rice, Sanxing, and Apple soon felt the pressure, and the sales of their flagship mobile phones all declined.

"Lu Bing, what are the people in the laboratory doing! In half a year, I haven't even seen a prototype!"

Lei Jun said with a cold face and a cold voice.

"Mr. Lei, the research and development time cannot be estimated. Future Technology only made a Moss AI painting, which took a year, let alone a more complex speech recognition system?"

Lu Bing smiled bitterly.

How could he not know Lei Jun's urgency? Under attack from all sides by Lianxiang, Huayao, Kupai and HOC, rice shipments plummeted by 36% last month.

Everyone has the Moss Intelligent System. For users, there is no need to consider the price difference of less than 300 yuan.

After all, the premium of a Moss smart speaker is more than 300 yuan.

The performance of rice phones on the sales side is weak and particularly weak, exactly like the Rebus before us.

"Damn it, Chen Heyu is not a good guy. I'll give you coffee if you're sorry."

"Use your hands without showing any mercy."

Rebus cursed loudly, even in his local accent. He walked back and forth in the office, but he couldn't think of a way to fight back.

Finally, he slumped back on the chair, waved his hand to Lu Bing and said, "Keep poaching people. If you can't poach future technology people, you'll spend a lot of money to poach them abroad. When the contract expires, I want to see the finished product."

Otherwise, get out of here and let these people have no use."

After Lei Jun pondered for a long time, he said to Lu Bing.

It was he who started the war between rice and future technology. He wanted to put his hand into Chen Heyu's bowl to grab food, only to be retaliated by the other party.

But he didn't know that no matter whether Da Mi established an AI laboratory or not, Chen Heyu would press forward step by step according to the current strategy, first giving Rebus hope and then making him despair.

"I'll try my best, Mr. Lei, give me a little more time."

Lu Bing said helplessly that the salary package offered to employees by Future Technology cannot be matched by Dami, let alone overseas engineers who have higher requirements.

"We'll dig first and then we'll talk about it. The cost should be lower in Tianzhu."

He made secret calculations.

April December.

Zhongxin's Moss co-branded mobile phone started pre-sales through Taobao and Jingdong official websites, and sold 2.6 million units, which was another slap in the face of Sanxing.

Zhongxin has many channels and a vast contract phone market, so it has come from behind in terms of sales, surpassing Coolpad and ranking fourth in this month's sales list.

…

Park Changcan was sitting in his seat, holding a business report in his hand, his face gloomy to the extreme.

The April sales volume in Dahua District actually dropped from first place to third place. Thinking of the consequences of severe punishment from the headquarters, I couldn't help but tremble.

"Chief Cui, I am very disappointed with your ability. The market quota has been falling again and again. How do you want me to explain next month's performance report?"

Park Changcan said in a deep voice.

Cui Youzhen sighed softly. Doesn't she still know what the other person is thinking?

His little hands deftly unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his fair skin to the air.

"Axi, you, this woman, think about these things all day long? No wonder sales are sluggish."

Park Changcan became ruthless and shouted angrily.

Cui Youzhen was shocked, isn't this your favorite all the time?

"Get out! Give me a new marketing plan tomorrow. The market share cannot drop any further, otherwise we will both be ruined."

Pu Changcan pointed at the door and cursed sternly.

Cui Youzhen didn't even tidy up her clothes, and hurriedly escaped from the office amidst the other party's scolding.

The colleagues outside the door looked at her with strange and curious eyes.

The mobile phone market in Dahua District was particularly lively in April. The mainstream brands in the Android market have all chosen to embrace future technologies, leaving only three companies, Sanxing, Apple and Nokia, outside the circle.

In the first month of Q2, the sales volume of smartphones nationwide was 63 million units, and mobile phones equipped with Moss intelligent system accounted for 47%, nearly 30 million units.

The 3 billion licensing fee is not the first priority in Chen Heyu's eyes. For him, what is more important is that future technology controls the smart terminal market.

According to the current development rate, by the end of 2014, the number of devices equipped with Moss Intelligent System will exceed 300 million.

This is a terrifying number!

Traffic means money, he can get a lot of advertising fees, and when his new products are launched, he can market them through the terminal.

At the time point, it is very stuck. The 3G is upgraded to the 4G era, and mobile phones need to be updated.

Moss took advantage of the east wind and subtly entered the lives of hundreds of millions of users.

"Old Mo, come with me to Yancheng."

Chen Heyu opened his mouth and said.

"Okay, boss."

Ding Mo responded, put down the phone, and turned around to pack his luggage.

The international version of Moss Intelligent Voice will be launched soon. In addition, the international version of Moss second-generation smart speakers has also completed 3C certification, CE certification and PCC certification, which means that Future Technology can put its products into the international market and open them for sale.

Over in Yangcheng, Moss Electronic Technology has become the most popular local electronics factory after raising wages.

"For screwing, go to Moss. The salary is good and there are many benefits. You can't make a few hundred less..."

The jingle is quite popular in nearby industrial areas. Moss Electronics Factory has a high base salary and less overtime. Although the maximum salary is not as good as other companies, the median salary is far ahead of other factories.

Earn a few hundred dollars less, change to a regular and healthy schedule, and be able to spend time with your family after get off work, why not?

However, the number of positions at Moss Electronics is limited. After the general workers are saturated, they are basically recruited one by one. The difficulty is so high that it is jokingly called: "Yangcheng Work Examination".

the next day.

Chen Heyu got on the plane and headed to Yancheng.

Ding Mo stood by and carefully observed the boss who was reading a book seriously. He thought to himself: "No wonder the boss is so good at making money and knows so much."

After getting off the plane, Zhang Nan asked the driver to bring a Maybach. Ding Mo got into the cab conspicuously and drove Chen Heyu back to his residence.

The courtyard house I bought before was renovated a year ago.

There was one more Lao Mo on this business trip, and it was not convenient for him to go out and stay in a hotel alone, so he was asked to drive the car to the courtyard.

"That row is full of guest rooms, you can just pick one."

Chen Heyu pointed to the house on the side of the door.

"Thank you, boss."

Ding Mo nodded and took a look. They were all newly decorated rooms, which were more exquisite and luxurious than hotels.

"I'm going to visit Mr. Wu in the afternoon. You can come with me."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said to him.

"OK."

Ding Mo replied, without asking any questions, he picked up his suitcase, chose a room next to the door, and walked in slowly.

"The vigilance is good."

Chen Heyu smiled, what dangers could he encounter in Yancheng? But the other party's attitude made him very satisfied.

The outside of the house is ancient and elegant, and the inside is exquisitely modernly decorated with all kinds of home appliances.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Wu Jin.

"Brother Jin, I'm in Yancheng. Let's get together at noon. You treat me, don't ask for much, and the food should be good."

Chen Heyu smiled "hehe" and said carelessly.

"Have you gotten off the plane? I'll drive to the airport to pick you up now."

Wu Jin said enthusiastically that Chen Heyu was very particular about investing in two "Wolf Warrior" films, both as a boss and as a friend.

He naturally wants to seize the opportunity and perform well.

"We're all home. You can arrange a place. If you get hungry, you can go directly there."

Chen Heyu replied, leaning comfortably on the sofa.

"Okay, then wait for my call. Do you want to call Brother Shangqian?"

Wu Jin asked for his opinion.

We are all old friends, so it’s hard to say anything for a visit. Chen Heyu thought about it for a moment and joked: "No problem, just don’t let Brother Qian cook."

Wu Jin laughed tacitly and patted his chest in assurance.

Then, Chen Heyu called Zhang Nan again: "Are you ready for tomorrow's press conference?"

"Boss, everything is ready. We have invited dozens of news media, venture capital institutions and channel providers at home and abroad. Mr. Zhou will be in charge of hosting."

Zhang Nan replied.

“The core of this press conference is to formally introduce the appearance, features and usage effects of Moss Intelligent Voice International Edition to global users. It is a good opportunity to expand product exposure and popularity.

Likewise, it is also an opportunity to expand the business circle and find potential partners. I trust you and Zhou Zi. I will only go over to observe tomorrow."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly and warned.

In the future, technology must enter the international market, demonstrate its strength and flex its muscles, so as to deter the villains behind it, accelerate its development, and promote the growth of sales and market share.

If you want to get support and favor from above, you must show your excellent potential and talent, otherwise how can the big guys notice you.

After resting for a while, Wu Jin sent an address on WeChat, a private restaurant in the northern suburbs.

Celebrities seem to like restaurants with secluded environments and strong privacy. It seems that the influence of "See You on Monday" is quite powerful.

After all, when socializing, you always have to drink a few drinks. If you are photographed by the paparazzi, it will be embarrassing if it is posted on the news.

"Old Mo, Brother Jin invites you to dinner. I'll send you the address."

Chen Heyu changed into fresh casual clothes, walked out of the door, and said to Ding Mo in the yard.

"good."

Ding Mo responded and immediately drove off.

Chen Heyu looked at the small yard. There was a jujube tree, a locust tree, and a camphor tree. The branches and leaves were connected together to form a green shade in the spring.

"Wenwen, she should like it. I can bring her over for vacation next time."

He thought to himself.

After receiving the second business plan, Luo Wenwen started APP research and development, and relied on the Kangaroo Flash Delivery platform to take the lead in trying the online sales model.

Accumulate operational experience for the launch of 32 Coffee APP.

After a while, Ding Mo parked the car at the door and honked the horn. Chen Heyu came to his senses after hearing the sound and walked straight to the car.

Ding Mo is very skilled in driving, and the powerful Maybach has strong safety features. In his hands, he will not feel any bumps.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped.

An old-style mansion appeared in front of him. Wu Jin was waiting at the gate. Seeing him get out of the car, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him: "You must like the taste of this restaurant."

"If you're not satisfied, you can make it up to me again."

Chen Heyu joked.

Ding Mo also got out of the car at this time, looked at Wu Jin and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Wu Jin asked Chen Heyu: "Is Ding Mo still satisfied? He has a background in investigation. If he hadn't been unwilling, I would have stayed with him."

Chen Heyu was grateful for being able to accept Ding Mo, and he deliberately said this to give Ding Mo more weight.

"Lao Mo, he's a nice guy, so I'm taking advantage of him."

Chen Heyu replied.

The two of them walked and chatted as they headed into the restaurant, with Ding Mo following closely behind.

Bypassing the open-air seating area in the front hall, walking along the rockery pool, we entered a quiet garden, surrounded by dense shrubs and tall precious ornamental trees, which blocked the scene in the private room.

The paparazzi’s telephoto lens is beyond their reach.

Hearing the noise, Yu Qian, Guo Yungang, and behind him his young apprentice Yue Peng, immediately walked out of the room,

"Brother He Yu, it's thanks to you that this guy Wu Jin is willing to treat us to a nice meal."

Yu Qian raised his hand in greeting and joked, stirring up the atmosphere.

"Brother Qian, don't try to fool me with your words. Brother Jin's movies have made a lot of money, so I can give you a meal."

Chen Heyu stepped forward to chat with a few people.

"Wolf Warrior" has an average box office, and that's a relative term. Wu Jin, as the second largest shareholder of the producer, earned at least tens of millions.

Would Wu Jin be willing to pay for a few meals? It was just a joke.

Although Chen Heyu was the youngest, Yue Peng was the least important when it came to his status here. He waited until everyone had finished speaking before he dared to greet him humbly.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time. Give me a chance next time, choose a good place, and let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

"It's a small role, not worth it."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, solved the problem, and just acknowledged the other party's intention.

Xiao Yueyue didn't argue, obviously Chen Heyu's attitude was what he expected.

Regardless of the past two years, under the cultivation of his master, he has attended the Spring Festival Gala and made movies, but in front of Chen Heyu, this achievement is not enough.

Chen He Yuguang, a Shanhai Film and Television Company, dominates the entertainment industry, and Yancheng has a large number of celebrities who are trying to get into Shanhai's projects.

Especially, the billion-dollar project of "Wandering Earth"!

On the official Weibo of the film, some concept drawings and physical props have been slowly released, as well as the studio under construction.

Anyone with a bit of discernment knows that this movie is really a real investment, not a fake one.

Unlike some movies, which claim to invest 500 million and spend three years sharpening the sword, more than half of it is water.

After it was released, movie fans were stunned and didn't realize where the 500 million had been spent.

Several people sat down, but Ding Mo insisted on staying outside the door. Wu Jin's persuasion had no effect, so he had no choice but to ask the waiter to help him arrange lunch.

"He Yu, does your company really have an investment of one billion in "Wandering Earth"?"

Lao Guo asked cautiously. There was no one in the circle who was not curious.

"The production cost will be controlled within 800 million yuan, and the rest will be used as publicity expenses. Mr. Han has invested 100 million yuan. How dare I fake it."

Chen Heyu explained with a smile.

In the previous life, "Wandering Earth" only grossed US$10 million at the box office in overseas markets, and suffered a huge loss in terms of promotion and distribution.

The script and special effects were also partly responsible, so he made magical changes based on the original ones.

He has adjusted the rhythm of the plot and deleted lengthy background introductions to enhance the viewing experience for movie fans. Coupled with the Moss Ai video processing function under development, he is fully confident that the box office performance will exceed the previous one.

"He Yu, tell me, is it possible for me to go in and make some noise? It doesn't matter what my lines are, just show my face."

Lao Guo rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

The crew of "Wandering Earth" is still busy with the preliminary preparations, and the audition notice has not been sent out. This is a back door for him.

Chen Heyu nodded. Lao Guo had already said this. He was just acting as a background wall. How could he refuse him?

"The ugly words come first, there are really no lines."

He bluntly said that a passer-by can do it, but there is really no character with unique lines and distinctive features that is suitable for Guo Yungang. He can't be allowed to go to space to give cross talk.

"As long as you can act, we won't pick."

Lao Guo held the tea and said cheerfully.

Xiao Yueyue looked envious, but did not dare to speak. There was really no place for him to speak in this room.

The food was served in plates, and Chen Heyu tried every dish. It was full of flavor, paying attention to the original taste of the ingredients, and his cooking skills were extraordinary.

"Bring Wenwen here next time."

He wrote down the name and location of the restaurant.

I had other things to do with Wu Jin in the afternoon and it was not suitable to drink. Everyone had tea instead of wine and sat in a circle chatting.

"Brother Jin, has your script been submitted for review?"

Chen Heyu asked.

"The Wandering Star" is expected to start casting in June, and he has tentatively cast Wu Jin to play Liu Peiqiang, so he naturally doesn't want to conflict with schedules.

"It's still being polished. How about I send it to you and you can help me correct it."

Wu Jin grinned and said with a flattering tone.

Chen Heyu's ability to write scripts is well-known in the industry. Whether it is original or adapted, the box office results are not bad.

Wu Jin thought of this, and of course he didn't want to miss it. With Boss Chen's polish, the box office would be at least several hundred million higher.

"Yeah, okay, send me your email back."

Chen Heyu agreed. Most of Wu Jin's movie profits were in his hands. There was no problem in helping with revisions. It was for his own sake anyway.

After the meal, we took a short nap and drank tea for a while before the party dispersed.

Before leaving, Chen Heyu said to Xiao Yueyue: "There is a new play in Shanhai, will the third male actor act in it?"

Yue Yungang revealed his surprise instantly and said in disbelief: "Mr. Chen, is it true? Can I do it?"

"It has to be you."

Chen Heyu laughed out loud. Not many people can control this licking dog without you.

"I'm optimistic about you. Keep this contact information and tell me about my introduction when the time comes."

He gave out a series of phone numbers.

"Idiot, why don't you thank Mr. Chen."

Lao Guo had a straight face and patted Xiao Yueyue on the head.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, thank you so much, I can't repay you in return."

Xiao Yueyue said with a bald mouth, smiling naively.

"Don't even think about promising yourself. This is the best way to repay me. Brother Guo, Brother Qian, let's make an appointment when you have time."

Chen Heyu stood up and said goodbye to everyone.

"Mr. Chen, you are really particular about people. Every time you have a meal, you will give me some resources."

Xiao Yueyue said with a sigh.

Lao Guo glanced at him and made up his mind to bring his son next time.

…

Ding Mo drove a luxury car to the location in his memory. Mr. Wu was his mentor and even looked down on him to find a job at such an age. How could he not be moved?

The northern suburbs are very close to the martial arts gym. A quarter of an hour later, familiar buildings came into view, and the two podocarpus at the door were still green.
