Chapter 989 Help Them Turn Around
In fact, Shi Lei has always paid little attention to Shi Qiang's management of the company. Just now, Shi Qiang was not calm-minded because of his argument with other people.
Seeing Shi Lei say this, he immediately realized this and his mentality naturally relaxed.
"Sorry, Mr. Shi, I was a little anxious just now." Shi Qiang sat down first, and everyone else naturally returned to the table, no longer surrounding the display screen.
Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said: "You are the CEO, and I really shouldn't interfere too much with your management of the company, but what I came to the company to discuss with you today happens to be related to the argument you just had. So, I think maybe, after hearing what I want to discuss with you, your arguments will disappear naturally."
Shi Qiang looked at Shi Lei and already had a guess in his mind. He said, "Master Shi, have you figured out how to make Qixuan go further in the short term?"
When the others heard this, they all looked at Shi Lei with expectation in their eyes.
This is a good sign. Regardless of whether they and Shi Qiang had different opinions just now, everyone is doing it for the development of the company, not because of any private opinions.
When Shi Lei said that the dispute could be eliminated, it was of course great news and everyone was excited about it.
Shi Lei saw this and smiled and said: "Today we are all from the marketing and planning departments. You guys have a drink first. I will go find the heads of the technical and sales departments. Let's discuss my plans together." idea."
Shi Qiang immediately stood up and said, "Master Shi, you'd better sit down. I'll just call you."
Shi Lei didn't stop him, and soon, Zhao Di and the head of the sales department came in.
Seeing Zhao Di, Shi Lei nodded slightly and asked, "Have you dealt with your own affairs?"
Zhao Di was a little ashamed and said awkwardly: "It was settled years ago. I settled the settlement for him..."
Shi Lei waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "You don't need to tell me how to deal with it specifically. You can just be responsible to Mr. Shi. Let's talk about Qixuan's next strategic issue first."
After everyone sat down, Shi Lei gently knocked on the table. There was no sound in the entire conference room. Shi Lei said: "Just now, I heard you guys arguing about when to raise funds. Let's go to Qixuan now." We have reached a small bottleneck. There are so many companies in the market that are imitating us and trying to imitate us, so that investors have so many choices. As a result, investment enthusiasm has decreased, and the company’s valuation has stagnated for a while. ,Right?"
Everyone was silent. Shi Qiang seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say anything.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "I don't think that everyone is not working hard enough, and I am not dissatisfied with everyone's work during this period. We Qixuan are still expanding steadily, the company is still developing, and the valuation is not good. Go, it has nothing to do with the company's own operations, it's just because of the excessive competition of similar products in the market. This is not your responsibility. On the contrary, it is the responsibility of Mr. Shi and I because we failed to find out what the company should do next. strategic goals.”
Shi Qiang nodded and said: "I have the main responsibility for this, but everyone must also work together to find a goal for the company that is clearly different from other companies. Otherwise, it will just be to defeat all opponents in terms of scale. , this has no longer become the decisive factor for the company's continued rise in valuation. Chongbai said that we are copying them, but in fact, each of us knows very well that we and them are just the back and forth, and now companies are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. It is a blatant plagiarism of our business model. But this is not a reason to criticize any competitor. There is no such thing as plagiarism in the business model. What Mr. Shi said is right, we must change, otherwise, just It is useless to dominate the market. Our industry will inevitably be in a symbiotic state in the future, and it is difficult to live in a life-and-death situation like the traditional industry. This makes changes even more important.”
Shi Lei glanced at Shi Qiang. In fact, he admired Shi Qiang's attitude because it coincided with Yu Banzhi's idea. This showed that Shi Qiang was careful, but he just couldn't find a breakthrough for a while.
He knocked on the table again and said, "What Mr. Shi said is the purpose of my coming to the company today."
Zhao Di spoke at this time: "Young Master Shi, you brought me and Manager Qi here. It must be that the product has been updated again?"
Shi Lei nodded. Zhao Di's words hit the nail on the head. If it was just a market-wide discussion, there was no need for the technical department and sales department to participate. Their cooperation was only needed if it was related to the product itself.
“During this period, have you noticed that the predecessor of shared bicycles seems to be quietly withdrawing from the market?”
Someone immediately said: "Master Shi is talking about the green bicycle that the government got in the past?"
Someone else said: "Their withdrawal is inevitable. First, the government is always too bloated. Second, their products themselves are extremely competitive. Whether it is the process of using the product or the people who use the product. They are not competitive before or after sales.”
Everyone was expressing their opinions, but Shi Qiang and Zhao Di did not speak. They looked at Shi Lei thoughtfully.
It's not surprising that Shi Qiang behaved like this. After all, he is the person responsible for the company's future strategy. The fact that Zhao Di behaved thoughtfully meant that he might have thought about what Shi Lei was going to say. As the head of the technical department, if he can think of this level, it means that he has grown from a mere technical officer to a company manager. These are two completely different concepts.
"Everyone has made it very clear about the disadvantages of green bicycles, so I won't add any more. Mr. Zhao, I want to ask you, what is the technical difference between green bicycles and us?"
Hearing this, Zhao Di had a complete understanding of Shi Lei's thoughts, but for a while he had not thought of what this model could bring to Qixuan.
Zhao Di said: "Technically there is no big problem, it's actually a matter of mentality change. In the past, this kind of thing was a public welfare project, and the government didn't think it could become a profitable project. But now, it's too late for them to turn around. "
Shi Lei nodded and said, "It's too late for them to turn around, so we'll help them turn around!"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Di also frowned, unable to fully understand Shi Lei's intention.
Shi Qiang's eyes were slightly blurry, and then his pupils dilated. He slapped the table and said: "Negotiate with the government to get all the green bicycles into our hands. In this way, we will be able to obtain bicycles priced at 100,000 in the short term." . No matter how many chip modules we have in stock, we can use them up, Mr. Shi, this method is feasible!”
Shi Lei looked at Shi Qiang with a smile. Others also began to think along Shi Qiang's words. Zhao Di said with some uncertainty: "Master Shi plans to eat all the green bicycles?"
Shi Lei nodded, and Manager Qi from the sales department immediately understood. He said excitedly: "This will allow us to expand the market by at least 30 to 50% in a short period of time. Moreover, we will use it to open up new markets in the future." With existing green bicycles as pioneers, we can even expand the list of cities covered by Qixuan bicycles to 100 within a year... no, half a year!"
Some people still didn't figure it out, and he said hesitantly: "But those bicycles are expensive to make, how can we have so much funds..."
