rebirth of cataclysm

After learning that Pengbo Electronics Group's products were about to be launched and that it had received an investment of one billion U.S. dollars from overseas, Guo Mingli couldn't sit still and immediately convened a meeting with his team.

At the meeting, Vanity Company reached an agreement that they should be the first to launch the product on the market. In terms of production capacity, they are much better than Pengbo Electronics. It is also because of this ability that their costs are correspondingly higher than Pengbo Electronics.

Bo Electronics is lower.

In fact, within the company, there is no consensus on whether or not to agree. Anyway, it is Guo Mingli who has the final say.

Although Mingli Company has a strong foreign investment background, since the company was founded by Guo Mingli, he is also the largest shareholder. Therefore, within the company, Guo Mingli has huge influence and almost absolute authority.

Of course, this is inseparable from the support given to him by those foreign bosses. In recent years, Vanity Company has developed rapidly, its profitability has been rising, and it has made a lot of money for shareholders every year. It is precisely because of this that shareholders

They are more supportive of Guo Mingli.

This time Guo Mingli obtained the design data of Pengbo Electronics ipeng through despicable means. At first, he did not inform shareholders of this matter. It was not until the company released this product that shareholders learned that Mingli not only obtained R&D

Breakthrough, and the company needs to start transformation.

Of course, those shareholders will continue to fully support such a "capable" company leader, which is a bit like Hu Mingchen supporting Ma Jiahao.

All in all, under Guo Mingli's strong push, the production and sales machines of Vanity Company immediately started running. In order to increase the sensation of the new product launch, Vanity Company also held a grand new product launch event on the other side of the Taiwan Strait. Please

Many celebrities participated, hoping that under the leadership of these celebrities, more people can be attracted to choose their mobile phone products.

Just when Vanity Company's new products were launched, Hu Mingchen also completed his final exam and was able to return to Pengcheng to take charge of the overall situation of Pengbo Electronics Group.

"Vanity Company has shipped the goods, but there is no movement from Apple. This is a bit abnormal. By the way, I got a Vanity Company iph. Take a look." In the office, Chen Xuesheng handed over a Vanity Company iph.

The produced mobile phone was handed to Hu Mingchen and said.

When Gretli came last time, he told Hu Mingchen that they would take legal action against Vanity Company. In fact, Hu Mingchen had been waiting for their action. Who knew that after Gretlry returned, he didn't hear the sound of thunder.

, there was no rain, and this matter seemed to have just disappeared.

At first, Hu Mingchen couldn't understand this, but later, Hu Mingchen understood it a little bit.

"If I'm not wrong, Apple is waiting for us to take action. It's best if we fight with the Vanity Company to lose both sides. Only then will they take action, and they can attack together with our company." Hu Mingchen handed over the iPhone.

Pick it up and play with it.

"Then do we want to take action? Vanity Company focuses its market on East Asia. In fact, it wants to compete with us in the domestic market first. Now we are a bit vulnerable on both sides. In Europe and the United States, we will face Apple, in the domestic and surrounding markets

, we have to face the Vanity Company again, and their resource investment is larger than ours, and their prices are lower than ours. Now Guo Vanity is ahead of us again, so we have to be careful in dealing with it." Chen Xuesheng said.

"I also understand this truth, but since Apple needs to be patient, let's continue to be calm. Director He, have you taken this phone apart and looked at it?" After Hu Mingchen finished speaking calmly, he raised his head.

He Xindao looked at the mobile phone in his hand.

"I just saw it. It's basically similar to ours, especially the hardware part, but there are some differences in the software. Because of limited time, we didn't have time to do detailed disassembly testing and analysis. It's hard to judge this product now.

There is a complete assessment." He Xin replied.

"Actually, I just want to ask how it compares to ours."

"Of course ours is better. We have made a lot of improvements in the past four months, and I have a feeling that their phone has some inconsistencies in some programs, which should affect their phone."

Stability, and their mobile phone seems to be open, which is very vulnerable to attacks." He Xin said.

Hu Mingchen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "In that case, that's fine. We will follow our steps. They will do theirs and we will do ours. The first to enter the market may not necessarily have the upper hand, but may also become a martyr.

"

"We don't know now when Apple's products will be launched. Also, will we launch them comprehensively, or will we differentiate the market in a step-by-step manner?" Chen Xuesheng asked.

"Mr. Fred, what do you think?" Hu Mingchen did not answer Chen Xuesheng's question immediately, but looked at Vice President Fred and asked.

"I suggest giving priority to the North American market and the Chinese market. Because our production capacity is limited, if all markets are launched at the same time, it is very likely to cause product shortages. As long as these two major markets take advantage of it first, then other places will be relatively easy to deal with."

Reid said.

"Have the goods been shipped to the United States?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Two batches have been shipped by air and have now entered two warehouses on the east and west coasts. The largest batch shipped by sea has also arrived near Hawaii. It will not be long before it can dock in San Francisco. I don't know how to operate the Chinese market.

, but in the North American market, we have to ensure an inventory of 200,000 units, and we can open online reservations at any time." Fred said.

"Mr. Fred, are you so confident? Is the inventory of 200,000 units too large? The market will not be so enthusiastic and accepting of new products all of a sudden, right?" Chen Xuesheng asked doubtfully.

.

"I have confidence in Best Buy, and recently, the expectations for our products on the Internet have become higher and higher. Of course, this has something to do with our media offensive, and young people in Europe and the United States are very receptive to new things. They

Our consumption power is also relatively strong. We are not afraid of inventory, but we are afraid of running out of stock. In that case, our reputation will be ruined." Fred said.

"Okay, then we will wait for the cargo ship to dock and complete the distribution of the goods, and then put them on the shelves for sale in China and the United States at the same time, or even a little later in the Chinese market. Uncle Chen, what is the current monthly output?" Hu Mingchen nodded.

.

"At most 110,000 units. All the products we produced have been sent to the United States, and some for the domestic market are still being produced." Chen Xuesheng replied.

"Didn't we expand the production line? Why are there only 110,000 units a month? In this case, we can only produce 12.3 million mobile phones a year. This kind of production capacity is far from satisfactory." Hu Mingchen frowned.

He raised his eyebrows and said.

"The key is that upstream suppliers can't keep up. Of course, our own workshops are all temporarily set up, and the production workers are all novices. This production capacity is considered to be at full capacity. But given another half year, I am confident that it will be

Production capacity increased to 150,000 units. When

However, there is still a problem, that is, there is no sales, and the current production relies on our own funds, which cannot form a good capital chain cycle. This still requires Mr. Schultz's capital injection, otherwise, it will be even worse.

Trouble." Chen Xuesheng explained.

Such production energy and scale made Hu Mingchen frown deeply. This amount is far from enough.

"Mr. Hu, isn't this production capacity good? More than one million units a year, the quantity should not be small, especially for new products." Hu Mingrong said.

As the deputy manager of the domestic marketing department, Hu Mingrong was not qualified to attend this meeting. However, their department manager was on a business trip to Beijing at the time, so he came as a substitute.

In addition, Hu Mingrong and Hu Mingchen are cousins, and no one else thinks there is anything inappropriate about him sitting here.

Of course, in the company, especially when it comes to serious work, Hu Mingrong is not Hu Mingchen's cousin. The relationship between superiors and subordinates still needs to be straightened out. After a period of experience, Hu Mingrong has been able to do this very well.

Got it.

"More than one million units is okay in the early stage, but... considering the future, it is far from enough. Maybe we need 10 million units, or even hundreds of millions." Hu Mingchen shook his head and said.

As soon as Hu Mingchen said these words, everyone present was a little dumbfounded. Damn it, 10 million units, 100 million units, is there such a volume? There seems to be no company that can ship hundreds of millions of mobile phones.

scale.

They really don't understand where Hu Mingchen's confidence comes from. Could it be that Schultz got carried away after investing a billion dollars? If we say 10 million units, or even 20 to 30 million units, as long as the operation is good, then it's still possible.

It can be achieved, but with hundreds of millions of units, it is a bit of a fantasy.

Others don't understand, but Hu Mingchen knows it well. In the past few years, global sales of mobile phones will show explosive growth. Not to mention 100 million units, even 200 million units is not impossible.

The reason why Schultz invested heavily in capital shows that he was extremely forward-looking and saw this momentum ahead of others. Otherwise, if there was no such sales prospect, he would spend a billion dollars at once? His money

It wasn't blown by strong winds, nor did it fall from the sky.

All capital investment is in the hope of generating huge profits. Businessmen are not philanthropists. Schultz said that he values ​​Hu Mingchen’s ability. In fact, he is not optimistic about the prospects of smartphones, and the companies that can currently develop and produce smartphones are definitely

Just two. If Schultz's billion dollars were invested in Apple, the effect would be far less effective than investing in Pengbo Electronics.

Production capacity has always been Hu Mingchen's focus. Now, Hu Mingchen must find a way to fundamentally solve this problem.
