Chapter 236 Sales License
But he is not him, Kuco rubbed his temples, no matter what, the world number one record set by Apple World must be kept, at least during his term of office, it must not decline!
Kuco's eyes showed a firm look. The world's No. 1 market is still the North American market. Even if there is a loss in the Huaxia market, in the North American market, Hongxin must not be so easily taken advantage of!
As for smart glasses, this project has always been in Apple's reserve library, and now it seems that it must start to be implemented.
...
In Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, the success of smart glasses is another great news this year. While they are pleasantly surprised, they are also busy.
The smart glasses project will be the second major product pillar in addition to smartphones, so a dedicated operation team and management team should be established.
Lu Zixin is busy with this matter, and some high-level appointments need to be decided by him personally.
"Xie Gan wants to operate smart glasses?" Lu Zixin looked at his subordinate's application and asked Su Zhirong, "How is his business ability?"
Wearing smart glasses, Su Zhirong directly collected Xie Gan's information from the database of the Personnel Department, and analyzed: "Xie Gan has been working for one year and one month, and has been in charge of the sales of Hongxin smartphones. His ability is above A+, and he can serve."
Lu Zixin also had a little impression of him. When Su Xiaomeng came to Pengcheng before, Xie Gan had done things for him.
"Is his position easy to fill?" Lu Zixin asked.
"It can be replenished, there are a few reserve candidates." Su Zhirong nodded.
"Okay, then give him a chance to serve as the chief operating officer of smart glasses. If his operational performance is good, he will be promoted to senior vice president. If his ability is not good, he will go down." Lu Zixin decided.
After solving one thing, Su Zhirong threw the next question and said: "Our operational cooperation in the United States has not been followed, and the attitude of the three major operators is not clear."
Hongxin Smartphone wants to open up overseas markets in a different way than other companies. For example, low-end mobile phones can go to Southeast Asia, India and other markets, which is related to the local consumption level.
The price of Hongxin smartphones in China is as high as five or six thousand. If they are sold overseas, plus taxes, the price will be even higher. If it is sold in neighboring countries such as India and Myanmar, I am afraid that the sales will be very bleak, and at that time it may even lose money.
Therefore, the route taken by Hongxin is to enter the countries with relatively developed market economy first. The first to bear the brunt is the world's largest smart product sales market, the North American market. And the United States is the top priority.
"Is it because of information security issues?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Probably so." Su Zhirong nodded and said, "It's hard to say the exact reason. Our colleagues in the International Business Development Department said that the three major U.S. telecom operators, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint+T-Mobile, are actually interested in us. Cooperation, but we are not sure, so we all delay first.”
"Oh, I didn't expect that we would have the same problem with Huawei." Lu Zixin laughed.
Huawei mobile phone encountered the interruption of cooperation with operators in the US market, resulting in the inability to fully enter the US market.
The fundamental reason is that the U.S. congressmen jointly called the Federal Communications Commission to request an investigation into the possible information security problems of Huawei's mobile phone.
As a result, Huawei mobile phones cannot be sold in the US market through official channels, and can only be retailed online. The annual sales volume of Huawei mobile phone is more than 100 million, but the sales volume in the United States is not as good as that of some low-end products.
Nowadays, when Hongxin smartphones want to enter the US market, the three major operators have not indicated that they will cooperate directly. Obviously, they also have concerns behind them. Maybe they also got some wind and dare not cooperate with Hongxin until it is clear.
Su Zhirong gave him a helpless look and said, "The countries are different and the policies are different. We really have nothing to do in this short period of time."
"We have not officially reached a cooperation with the operator, and the FCC has not passed the review of our product, so we can only wait."
"What about other countries?" Lu Zixin asked.
"At present, our products have obtained sales licenses in Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, and are applying for sales licenses in Korea, island countries and European markets." Su Zhirong said, "If nothing else, we will be able to enter the island country market next month."
"The island country operator also wants to invite you and Mr. Tang to go to Edo and participate in the Hongxin smart product launch!"
"Go to Edo? Press conference?" Lu Zixin thought about it and said, "I'm really interested. It used to be an island country that exports downstream manufacturing. It's time for us to use high-tech products to make their money!"
Lu Zixin decided to go to the island country next month, but who knew he received a call before he got off work.
This is an unfamiliar number. According to the intelligent identification of the Hongxin mobile phone housekeeper, it does not indicate advertising promotion. Lu Zixin answered the phone: "Hello, hello, may I ask you who you are?"
"Is it Lu Zi?" A slightly excited voice came from the phone.
"It's me. Are you?" Lu Zixin felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember.
"I'm going, you can't even hear my voice? I'm Di Chao!" the man said.
"Di Chao?" Lu Zixin remembered immediately, this is one of his college roommates! When it was only half a year after graduation, the two still kept in touch frequently, but when Di Chao returned to his hometown for development, there was less contact.
Later, he changed the number and WeChat, and Lu Zixin basically had no contact with him. Thinking about it carefully, it's actually only two years. The buddies who had a good relationship before graduation can hardly hear their voices now.
"I said why the voice is so familiar, it turned out to be you. How are you recently?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Come on, just mess around. How about you?" Di Chao asked, "I know all about the dormitory, but you are the one who sees the beginning but not the end, and you are nowhere to be seen in the class."
Lu Zixin is busy with too many things, how can there be an empty water class? And that group has now become a dead group. Last year, he sent a red envelope in it for the Chinese New Year, and someone silently grabbed it. I don't know if it was a hanging party or a diving party.
"I'm okay too, much better than before." Lu Zixin said modestly.
"Haha, I'm just starting now, take your time." Di Chao thought he was embarrassed to say, and comforted.
"By the way, are you free next month?" he asked again.
"There's something going on next month, what's the matter with you?"
"Well, I'm getting married next month. I won't call you to let me know. If it's convenient, come join in the fun?" Di Chao finally stated his purpose.
Lu Zixin was suddenly speechless, no wonder some people said that a classmate who had not been in touch for a long time suddenly contacted, and nine out of ten they were going to get married.
But he didn't care. Di Chaoren was not there, and he took care of him in college. He was happy to join in the fun.
Lu Zixin asked the date, and before the trip to the island country, he agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go."
