Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Most of the workers in the electronics factory are young people who have long been fed up with the high-pressure working environment of Fukushima, where even going to the toilet is subject to various restrictions.

Now, an electronics factory with good benefits has suddenly become as dazzling as a star in the night sky.

In the office of a factory in Fukutaka.

"Manager, another sixty-odd people have run away with their buckets."

"What? Can't you keep an eye on things and stop them? We're in a rush to complete these orders right now. If we can't finish them, you and I can just wait to be fired."

“Manager, these are people, we can’t stop them! I think most of them went to Taishan. The conditions there are too attractive. Eight hours there is equivalent to twelve hours for us, plus high night shift pay. Who wouldn’t be tempted? Unless Taishan fills up its quota, people will not consider our Futukang.”

The manager frowned; this wasn't the first time this had happened. "We've already raised wages, but I think people are still not satisfied. I'll call the big boss and ask him to take a look at the situation. Isn't Taishan maliciously raising wages?"

His subordinates' mouths twitched as they listened. A malicious raise? They'd never heard of such a wicked name before.

What kind of despicable person would come up with such a word? How can raising wages be done maliciously?

The manager quickly reported the situation to his superiors.

At Taishan Group, Xiao Shan is reviewing the sales figures for each of his companies this month in his office.

In June, Taishan Group shipped three million mobile phones, and sales showed no signs of cooling down.

With the booming sales of mobile phones, the number of screen research centers has continued to grow, and some TV brands have also contacted Taishan's screen research center and placed orders.

Taishan's QLED high-definition large screen is now the first choice for many TV brands.

Currently, there are two main types of high-definition screens on the market: high-end plasma TVs and LED screen TVs.

Because of Xiaoshan, Taishan's current research on screens mainly focuses on LED series, including OLED, QLED, and LED, which represents the future trend of screens.

The fact that you can buy a high-definition TV for a small amount of money is why many TV manufacturers choose Taishan screens as their first choice.

Just then, the phone rang; it was a leader from Shenzhen.

"Boss, what brings you to call me today?"

"Mr. Xiao, the boss of Futukang has reported the situation to his superiors again. He said that your increase in wages has made it impossible for Futukang to produce normally, and many workers have run away with their buckets and come to Mount Tai."

Hearing this, Xiao Shan was speechless: "Boss, Futukang is so useless! All they do is complain! This is normal business competition. Futukang should look for its own problems. Are the wages too low? Are the working hours too long? Workers are people, not machines. I think they're used to exploiting workers elsewhere. Don't you think so, Boss?"

Hearing this, the leader couldn't help but laugh: "You should be careful. It's normal business competition, and we can't really say anything about it. The higher-ups know that they can't prohibit factories from raising workers' wages, can they? That would be something that would be condemned by the whole nation, and no one would say such a thing. But we also have to give Futukang a way to survive."

"I understand, boss. Our electronics factory is almost full, and we will issue a notice later that we will no longer be hiring," Xiao Shan said calmly. "However, we plan to expand. With the upgrading of electronic products and the improvement of people's living standards, I estimate that the production of electronic products will continue to grow on a large scale. Therefore, we will expand to ten electronics factories across the country, and expect to recruit 500,000 workers. The electronics factory in Shenzhen will also expand to a scale of 100,000 workers."

The leaders were somewhat stunned: "Haha, Mr. Xiao is indeed magnanimous. I will report the situation to the higher-ups. It's normal market competition. If Futokang is not doing well, it should give up its position. I see that many small electronics factories in China are developing well and have not reached the point where no one wants to go there. Why is there so much trouble with Futokang?"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shan was in a good mood.

Futukang's profit margin is very low, but Taishan Electronics Factory's profit margin is even lower.

His purpose in opening the electronics factory was not to make money; the electronics factory was essentially a product manufacturing base for the Taishan Group.

By taking control of quality, you have greater confidence in the quality of your products.

When the CEO of Futukang heard Xiao Shan's answer, he was furious.

Taishan Group doesn't care about the profits of the electronics factory, but he does.

However, knowing that the Taishan Electronics Factory was about to reach its workforce capacity, Fukutokang immediately began recruiting workers nationwide.

All the intermediaries received related business, and Futukang suddenly became bustling with activity.

Many workers who wanted to wait and see regretted their decision when they saw the notice from Taishan that the workforce was full.

However, when I saw that they would expand to ten more electronics factories, which would add 500,000 jobs, my hope was rekindled.

That day, Xiao Shan was inspecting various research workshops to check on the progress of various research projects.

Especially in high-precision workshops, efforts are being made to overcome numerous difficulties in miniaturizing lasers.

Xiaoshan envisioned that since it was impossible to obtain some high-precision industrial machine tools, they would use ultra-small lasers to carve parts and assemble one themselves.

Mount Tai has the cost of trial and error, which is also a development strategy.

At this moment, the assistant suddenly walked over: "Mr. Xiao, we just received news that someone said our Qihang phone is a copy of a Samsung phone."

Xiao Shan asked, puzzled, "Does Samsung have phones similar to ours? I don't remember having any! Luo Zhenliang isn't the kind of person who doesn't know what's important."

"Xiao Sheng, according to inside information, it's a phone that Samsung plans to release in six months."

Xiao Shan was so angry he laughed: "Why doesn't he just say it's a phone he'll release a year from now? Who would believe such a brainless lie? I doubt his intelligence. Was this an announcement from Samsung?"

"No, the news only mentioned information that was suspected to have been leaked from Samsung's labs."

"They're giving us advance notice, showing they've got their eyes on the huge domestic market. Before, Nokia and Motorola had a huge market share in China, followed by our Taishan and Boda, while Samsung's share was very small. They're coming here to make their presence felt. Tell Feng Zhongping from the publicity department to wait for me in the office; I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Shan returned to his office, where Feng Zhongping was already waiting outside: "Mr. Xiao."

"Zhongping, how does the publicity department plan to refute Samsung's claims?"

"Mr. Xiao, Samsung is clearly trying to piggyback on our success and is trying to gain attention! I think we should have our PR department expose Samsung's conspiracy through public opinion. We just need to give a direct response; the rest of the speculation is up to the users."

In this recent media storm, many public intellectuals and online celebrities have learned their lesson.

The case involving Taishan Group is still fresh in my mind, and I heard that the patent infringement case involving "foot-sized chicken" is about to be decided.

Soon, Taishan Group issued an announcement.

"The rumors circulating online that Qihang mobile phones copied Samsung are nonsense. Taishan Group has not yet mastered the art of predicting the future."

The short text caused quite a stir on the internet.

The PR department's online army also began to exert its efforts, and forums on major websites were instantly filled with all kinds of comments.

"Anyone who says that is an idiot. Taishan's phone is already out, while Samsung's won't be available for another six months. To say that an unreleased phone is copying an already released phone is just nonsense."

"Many people have a serious bias against foreign countries, and it's rare to find a company in China that focuses solely on developing technology."

"As an international marketing professional, I think Samsung's move is clearly an attempt to make its presence felt. Currently, the domestic mobile phone market is dominated by four brands: Nokia, Motorola, Taishan, and Boda. Samsung clearly intends to make a major foray into the domestic market, after all, we are a market of one billion people. This rumor is more about gauging the domestic reaction, deepening people's impression of Samsung, and paving the way for the sales of the D508."

"You're amazing! Your analysis is truly enlightening."

This statement was quickly quoted by many netizens and posted on various forums.

Many people are watching to see if this statement is correct and whether Samsung plans to make a large-scale entry into the Chinese market.

Nokia's domestic branches.

"Manager Wang, our mid-range and low-end mobile phone sales have declined this month. According to our survey, many customers who originally planned to buy our mid-range phones opted for Taishan's Qihang phones instead. As for low-end phones, they chose Zhuji instead of our low-end models."

Manager Wang frowned. In recent years, Taishan Mobile has risen rapidly because many of its components are self-developed.

In addition, since they own the electronics factory, they can completely control the price and quality of the phones, giving them a significant advantage over Nokia from the outset.

Even for a major international brand like Nokia, many core components are still sourced from suppliers.

"I will ask the head office for permission to run a promotional campaign. Taishan is also closing in on us in some developing countries. Our low-end phones have already lost some market share, and I believe the head office will agree."

The same scenario is playing out at Motorola and other mobile phone companies.

The rapid rise of Mount Tai is evident to everyone.

Neither domestically nor internationally does anyone want this behemoth to rise rapidly in the mobile phone industry.

Except for chips, which it cannot produce on its own, Taishan has mastered almost all other core technologies and has achieved a leading position in the world.

Within almost a month, major domestic mobile phone manufacturers successively proposed price reductions and promotions for older mobile phones.

In the conference room, Xiao Shan looked at everyone and smiled, "It seems that the major manufacturers are feeling the pressure and are all lowering prices to promote sales. Fortunately, we still have some inventory of phones released over the years, which we can use to lower prices and promote sales."

"Xiao Luo, could you and your mobile phone and marketing departments work together to come up with a contingency plan for this, and let me take a look? I'll also contact Shiweitian to work on some promotions together."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao."

Soon, Taishan Group also joined the promotional campaign.

Many promotions have been launched, such as giving away a point-and-shoot camera with the purchase of a mobile phone, a mobile phone with the purchase of a welding machine, and a mobile phone with the purchase of a drone. There are too many products available from Taishan.

Subsequently, Shiweitian Group also announced a number of promotional activities.

Buy a phone and get a free box of instant noodles, buy a phone and get coupons for various fast food restaurants, and so on—the variety of promotional offers is countless.

With stores all over the country, Shiweitian's promotional activities are a game-changer.

Sales of various mobile phone models skyrocketed instantly, causing other brands to suffer heavy losses.

For the first time, our competitors also experienced the terror of being dominated by Taishan Group.

Walk onto any street and you'll find advertisements for promotional offers from Taishan Group; the internet is also buzzing with excitement.

"Today I went to the burger shop in my neighborhood to buy a burger, and when I looked up I saw an advertisement for Taishan mobile phones. I walked around the city, and basically every street and alley was full of advertisements for Taishan Group. For the first time, I felt the terror of being dominated by Taishan."

"I live in a small, third-tier county town, and I felt the same terror as you. But I spent a few hundred yuan to buy a Taishan Starry Sky phone from two years ago, which came with a lot of fast food coupons and a box of instant noodles. Taishan phone, it's so good!"

Such rhetoric permeates the entire internet.

However, Xiaoshan also knows that such large-scale events involving the entire Mount Tai cannot be held frequently, otherwise it is easy to arouse consumer resentment and it will be counterproductive.

However, one activity was retained: redeeming mobile phones with points.

Earn points by making purchases at various stores, and once you accumulate a certain number of points, you can redeem a newly released mobile phone from Taishan Group.

This event not only boosted sales at Shiweitian's various stores, but also helped Taishan Group sell some mobile phones, while also benefiting the people. It's like spending money to build a good reputation.

The major mobile phone promotions in China lasted for about two months before finally ending.

Sales of major mobile phone manufacturers have declined sharply, and they have all overdrawn their resources in advance.

However, Taishan's sales in the Third World continued to rise, and exports surged.

Xiao Shan was reviewing documents in his office when his assistant knocked and came in: "Mr. Xiao, the sales results for the two months of promotion are in.

Xiao Shan took the report and began to read it.

The total sales volume of various mobile phone models exceeded seven million units in two months, and the sales revenue of Shiweitian stores increased by 20%.

In the evening, the family gathered together.

Xiao Jingyan is already married and has bought a house in Beijing. His wife's job is currently being transferred.

Once the transfer is completed, I can return to Shenzhen. This was Xiaoshan's request before we got married.

The joint venture in Sijiucheng only accounts for a small part of Taishan's business, even less than the business of a research center. There is no need for Taishan's eldest son to stay in Sijiucheng.

Xiao Shan handed the report to Ding Qiunan and said with a smile, "It seems that this event is not only beneficial to Mount Tai, but also to Shiweitian."

Xiao Jingshu snatched the report and said, "Mom, Shiweitian really benefited a lot this time. Fast food stores saw a 20% increase."

Ding Qiunan said calmly, "But Taishan's mobile phones also sold seven million units, so it's a win-win situation. However, your dad said that this kind of activity shouldn't be too frequent, as it can easily cause customer resentment."

Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Jing Shu and asked, "Jing Shu, how's the blog revamp going?"

"Dad, things are going very smoothly now. Since we took your advice, traffic has skyrocketed. We've also given out bonuses of at least 10,000 yuan to more than 10,000 people, and now all kinds of bloggers are emerging one after another."

"Dad, your big data research center is amazing! It recommends content based on what netizens like, but there's not enough content for netizens to watch for a long time."

Xiao Shan nodded slightly: "The number of netizens in China is growing rapidly. As the number of netizens increases dramatically, the number of bloggers will also increase. But how do you ensure that bloggers can earn enough money? That's a difficult problem."

"If you can't guarantee making money, you need to give them enough fame. Since your portal website has good traffic, why not combine the two and publish content from some excellent bloggers on the website? Create a special section for it, whether it's interesting content or pictures. Once people have fame, the money will naturally come."

"Or we could set up a tipping feature, where people can tip bloggers if they are satisfied with their content. After taxes are paid, the platform and the blogger would split the tipping amount."

Xiao Jingshu was stunned: "Dad, you're amazing! I never thought you could do it like this."

“Your dad has a lot of ideas. With the rapid increase in internet speed in China, some bloggers can also do live streaming to increase their income. The content of the live stream can be set by the streamer, and you can also create various personas for the streamer.”

"Aren't there various chat rooms now? I think chat rooms will be replaced by various live streams sooner or later! Your bloggers can easily attract viewers by becoming live streamers with their own content. Only when a few become famous and make a lot of money will the blog be truly famous. At that time, you can separate the blog and live streaming into two companies. One will specialize in live streaming, and the other will specialize in providing various content."

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xiao Jing Shu was very excited: "Dad, you just summarized the blog's business for the next ten years in a few words, and judging from your ideas, it will definitely be a huge hit."

Xiaoshan's design was based on the operating logic of a certain short video platform in later generations.

It's just that the internet wasn't widespread back then, network speeds weren't fast enough, and development in various aspects and the openness of society weren't as good as they would be twenty years later. Otherwise, just creating a short video platform would have solved everything.

"You just need to know these things yourself. Implement them step by step, don't rush, and always stay ahead."

"Yeah, I get it, Dad."
