Rebuild 2005

Chapter 800 [799] Which of us is the most beautiful
After confirming that the plan was feasible, Wei Qingfan sent Gao Shuxin a message: "Come to my office."

I don't know if Gao Shuxin misunderstood something. A few minutes later, when she came to the door of the office, her makeup was exquisite and radiant. It seemed that she had just put on her makeup, her eyes were watery, and her whole body exuded the softness of a mature woman.

However, when she saw Xu Shengyuan sitting opposite Wei Qingfan's office, her expression and posture changed rapidly in a short period of time, which caused a subtle change in her temperament, and she no longer felt feminine.

"Boss Wei~"

She greeted lightly and walked in.

"Sit here."

Wei Qingfan got up and led him to sit down on the sofa in the reception area. Jiang Qinghuai probably noticed Gao Shuxin passing by the door, and followed him to the office vigilantly or considerately.

She walked over quickly, bent down beside Wei Qingfan to pick up the teapot, and made tea again.

Wei Qingfan talked about Xu Shengyuan's plan, and Gao Shuxin was a little surprised. Going from the company to the stage of the press conference does not mean a change of position, but it is undoubtedly another stage for display, and this has always been her expectation of.

Because of her early joining, excellent work performance, and certain management responsibilities (team leader), she reached level 6 in the rank assessment not long ago, but this is far from enough to satisfy her, and she is even more qualified because of the clear gap Self-motivated.

The three discussed briefly, and based on the order of appearance of Wei Qingfan, Xu Shengyuan, and Gao Shuxin, they finalized the approximate scope of their respective responsibilities. The specific situation was discussed by Xu Shengyuan and Gao Shuxin, and then handed over to President Wei for approval.

At the end of the discussion, Gao Shuxin left first, came and went in a hurry, Xu Shengyuan was kept by Wei Qingfan, and when Gao Shuxin left, Wei Qingfan asked: "Is there any further movement from Xiaomi?"

"Ah."

Xu Shengyuan nodded, "The Xiaomi engineering machine has 1G and 2G memory versions, and Xiaomi on the other side of the supply chain also has cooperation with 1G memory...but it's not necessarily Xiaomi 2."

Ancient poems and ancient words are not currently operated independently, but the company has also begun to split some of the business. Xiaomi is the biggest opponent of the ancient word mobile phone in the next few years. Xu Shengyuan is mainly concerned about the trend, and Wei Qingfan pays more attention to Apple and Samsung. .

Of course, this is a relative concept, because you must have an understanding of the whole.

Linjiang Xian is the ancient word 3, and the price is still maintained at 1999, but there have been disputes about the starting version, mainly in terms of running memory and body storage.

Last year, Guci 2 started selling in 1G+4G version, so many people think that the starting version of Linjiang Xian should be increased to 2G running memory, but this will affect the Niaosing, which has just been on sale. Jian caused a heavy blow.

Linjiangxian was launched in 1999, and the APQ8064 quad-core processor itself has formed a big leapfrog to Niaosongjian. If the operating memory is also increased to 2G, it will be a big blow to Niaosongjian.

However, Guci’s opponent is Xiaomi. Guci’s mobile phone has to consider Xiaomi’s competitive pressure when planning. It can be confirmed that Xiaomi Mi 2 will be equipped with APQ8064 processor, and other configurations will also be compared to Linjiangxian...

If Linjiangxian is released here, Xiaomi will come with the same configuration and price at that time, but the 2G memory will be sold, which will put huge pressure on the sales of the basic disk of Linjiangxian.

Others are guessing at this point, but Wei Qingfan is very clear. Originally, Mi 2 was sold in the 2+16G memory version in history.

However, Xiaomi mobile phones were "futures" in the early days. Historically, Xiaomi mobile phones were released in August 2012, but in fact they began to be shipped on a large scale at the end of the year. Sell ​​to maintain the popularity, wait until the popularity is about to drop, the cost has also dropped, and there are profits, and then large-scale shipments.

This is one of the fundamental ideas of Xiaomi mobile phones in the early days.

Wei Qingfan is naturally aware of this point. Guci mobile phone has also borrowed this method, but it is different to a large extent. Guci 1 relies on his own risk taking, and uses large-scale purchases to lower prices in exchange for Mass shipment faster than Xiaomi phones.

By the time of Guci 2, Guci mobile phone already had the bargaining power, and initially had the ability to operate in the mature mode of Xiaomi. This does not mean that he is better than Lei Jun, but that he is sure, and Lei Jun has been groping .

The same person who took the test and got the answer in advance is naturally different from the person who actually answered the question.

Today, the supply chain system of Gushici mobile phones is basically mature. Combined with the current component prices, Wei Qingfan judges that if the 2+16G memory version of Xiaomi mobile phones starts at 1999 yuan, then large-scale shipments will not be possible within at least half a year.

At that time, Linjiangxian, which has been on sale for half a year, can reduce the price to meet the challenge of Xiaomi. Anyway, it has been sold for so long, and it has the conditions to reduce the price.

Moreover, it is impossible for Xiaomi 2 to be released so long later than Linjiangxian. If it is really delayed until August, the day lily is cold, and there is a high probability that it will be released a month later than Guci like Xiaomi 8, or even earlier.

If this is the case, even if it is "selling futures", even if it has obtained multiple rounds of financing in a row, there will not be much room for Xiaomi to fight a price war.

This can be dealt with according to Wei Qingfan’s long-established strategy (Glory hit Xiaomi): I will have the goods when you are out of stock, and I will lower the price when you have the goods!

The difference is that when Glory beat Xiaomi, it was the attacker, and Xiaomi was the defender, but now Xiaomi is the attacker, and Gu Ci is the defender.

Xu Shengyuan talked about Xiaomi's developments, and finally said: "At present, it seems that even if the Xiaomi Mi 2 is not sold with 2G memory, the price of 2G memory will not be too expensive, and the possibility of a price war cannot be ruled out..."

Wei Qingfan made some calculations, and reminded: "Be careful that after we finish the press conference, they may disgust us by launching the press conference ahead of time..."

The starting version of Xiaomi Mi 2 is uncertain, but there is a high probability that it will be cheaper than Linjiangxian with the same specifications. Use "more cost-effective" to shake Linjiangxian's intended users.

Even if Mi 2 cannot be shipped, it can still maintain its popularity by snapping up a small amount of shipments each time, and further create the label of "more cost-effective than ancient mobile phones".

"President Wei reminded me."

Xu Shengyuan has probably already considered it, but he still agreed first, and then pondered hard to think, and then continued: "Our biggest advantage is that we can spot the stock. Even if Xiaomi does this, it will never be able to grab the spot, and there will definitely be a large number of users. Turn around and buy from us, after all, the price increase of Mi 2 will definitely be very high, it is better to buy ours directly...

"At that time, we will take advantage of the situation to publicize, and even share some of the operating methods, publicize Xiaomi's fickle users, and directly smear their brand.

"Taking a step back, even if the short-term sales of Linjiang Xian are hindered, as long as the image of the ancient poetry brand is established and the ecology is established, it will be able to feed back the ancient poems... The ancient poems only need to be kept, not to mention the market is still expanding, Linjiang At least the sales of Xian will not be worse than that of Guci 2, and it doesn't matter if it is even worse."

Xu Shengyuan analyzed it, and then assured him: "According to the analysis of the current situation, I am very confident in this point."

His words have jumped out of the competition between Linjiangxian and Xiaomi 2, or even the two brands of Guci and Xiaomi. His vision is very long-term. Wei Qingfan was quite relieved, nodded, praised a few words, and urged: "Also Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Ah."

Xu Shengyuan nodded solemnly.

At the previous meeting, everyone had discussed this matter, and felt that Xiaomi would most likely start selling the 2G+8G version in 1999, which could better balance all aspects of consideration.

Gu Ci has much stronger bargaining power than Xiaomi, and it is natural that the 2+8 version can be sold in 1999, but the profit is much lower.

The company needs profits now!Huge profits are needed!

Now Xiaomi can almost directly say that it has no channels, no after-sales service, and no research and development, and the wages of its employees are far lower than that of Gushici, but Gushici’s company is different. This year, we will develop our own processor again, which is the cost of the company's operations, manufacturing, and sales.

Without enough profit support, I really can't bear it.

After Xu Shengyuan left, Jiang Qinghuai quickly re-entered, looked at him with clear and bright eyes, walked over to clean up the teacup, and asked in a strange soft voice: "You seem to value Xiaomi very much? I don't think they are so powerful, Xiaomi 1 , 1S, youth version, they haven’t sold us yet? Now we still need to use our customized processor.”

She is indeed very strange, because it is almost never seen that Wei Qingfan attaches so much importance to an opponent, and it is even rare that he is not so confident. appeared.

"Of course it matters."

Wei Qingfan sighed, he really felt this way, smiled and explained: "Apple, Samsung, I can probably guess their next move, this kind of international giants rarely follow the footsteps of others to change. It has its own rhythm, but Xiaomi is different, and most importantly, Xiaomi is also a domestic brand.”

"what?"

Jiang Qinghuai was even more puzzled, "What's wrong with domestic brands?"

"In a mature track, it is almost impossible to shake the status of a giant. The decline of every giant company is overtaken by rivals in another track, just like Apple surpassing Nokia. If it was in the original In the era of feature phones, it is almost impossible for anyone to surpass Nokia."

Wei Qingfan leaned on the back of the sofa, explaining and expressing emotion, "But from another perspective, a bigger perspective, now China is developing and catching up with the original developed society. At this time, domestic enterprises are at least growing rapidly. Rising industries, such as Chinese companies in the mobile phone industry, are the most creative, the most changeable, and the fastest to adjust their strategies...

"Apple and Samsung may be slower to deal with the changes brought about by me...and the emergence of Gushici, but these domestic companies, Xiaomi, Meizu...forget it, a slip of the tongue, there is no Meizu, Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Gionee, Smartisan...these companies responded the fastest..."

President Wei said with a long sigh of relief, "Being stared at by these people all day is a lot of pressure! Who knows how these people will change their tactics..."

Jiang Qinghuai glanced at him, tilted his head and thought for a while, this action looked very likable, but it was a completely different pure and beautiful appearance, then he smiled, a little coquettishly, and said "oh" with a long tail, Said: "I understand, it's like the bastard in "Xia Ke Xing" who praised others for being very good, right?"

"Who are you scolding?"

Wei Qingfan was angry and funny. He really felt the pressure. The pursuit of hardware profits by Guci mobile phone would definitely give Xiaomi a chance to develop, and he had no doubt that those people from Xiaomi would take this opportunity.

"For the boss of a company that is about to have the number one domestic market share, if you praise other companies, isn't it just a 'stone-breaking praise'!"

Jiang Qinghuai snorted, cleaned up the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Right, have you finished reading "Xia Ke Xing"? I just finished watching it a few days ago. It's so good. I just realized that the bastard is so handsome. Axiu is so pretty too..."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Not as beautiful as you."

Jiang Qinghuai blushed, and gave him a sideways glance. His clear eyes blinked, as if hesitating for a moment, and then said: "I'll ask you a question."

"You said."

"What do you think, senior sister, me, Miaomiao, and Wanyun, who is the prettiest?"
