Chapter 1364 Pingguo Press Conference

It has been several years since the publicity concept of "young people" was mentioned, and the Rice Group has already become a regular customer of "contract machines". It has been deeply involved in rural areas and underdeveloped areas abroad, and it can barely achieve a certain amount of turnover and save face.

However, there is no delisting on the face of it, but inside, the technology R&D department of the Rice Group has already been "replaced", and the elite R&D personnel have already left for other companies. Now those who remain are related households and collaborators with shares, as well as those who There are also a large number of interns among employees who have been dismissed from large factories.

Only in this way can the Rice Group maintain a development team with relatively good numbers and reduce technology research and development expenditures.

As for the tens of billions of car manufacturing projects, it has indeed relied on Daxia's domestic new energy vehicle suppliers that have advanced to the forefront of the world to create rice new energy vehicles.

Even at this price, I can’t make friends like I did before. Because in the new energy vehicle track in Daxia, there are already more than one car company that is really losing money selling cars and using money to exchange for the market.

If Da Mi wants to make money by selling cars, he must have room for profit. However, because it does not have its own three-power technology and core competitive technology, it can only buy the solution from the Ningde era.

Once the plan is purchased, the supporting equipment is provided, plus the profit margin, rice, which once relied on cost-effectiveness to dominate the world, is now desperately trying to control costs internally, but still cannot come up with a sales plan that can be priced below 100,000.

Wuling and BYD next door wanted to laugh when they saw it!

However, in Lei Jun's view, when the mobile phone industry cannot continue, if the Rice Group can survive by relying on the new energy vehicle business, it can be regarded as fulfilling one of the goals of this venture.

Even if we are worse off than before, being able to survive this unprecedented change in a century is already a victory.

After being crazily attacked by companies such as Jiuzhou Technology, Xia Wei, and Xia Xing, the Rice Group has effectively settled down.

But Pingguo doesn't want to be a coward.

As the undisputed king of the global mobile phone industry, Ku Ke, CEO of Pingguo Company, felt angry and anxious after seeing Gu Qing's activities, to the point where he threw a cup in the office in anger.

The assistant listened to the fragile glass that the purchasing department specially purchased began to clatter. Although he was still worried, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

Maybe the boss will calm down after smashing these glasses again.

"Layoffs! We must layoffs! Let's eliminate a few more unprofitable departments, otherwise our financial report may not reassure the financial market."

The assistant with excellent hearing heard the boss's low murmur from the side, and his heartbeat, which had calmed down, suddenly became a little faster.

Cuco's work efficiency is naturally not slow. After making the decision, he convened the senior management the next day to start discussing which project departments could be abolished or reduced in size.

Anyway, there is only one purpose, to reduce expenses and preserve cash as much as possible.

The budget for the autumn conference on September 25 has also been temporarily cut by 20%.

Pingguo has indeed opened the curtain of the next era again, but this curtain is not technological innovation, but the old-era technology companies starting to lay off employees in order to tide over the difficulties.

However, the impact of the layoffs this time was different from the past, because Pingguo bought too much traffic during this period, and Pingguo's move instantly pushed himself into the global public opinion of Blue Star.

“In recent years, Pingguo’s sales of iPhones, Macs and other ecological products have declined. Revenue in the first and second fiscal quarters of 2024 fell by more than 5% year-on-year, which was also the largest decline since September 2016.

According to people familiar with the matter, your company has laid off hundreds of outsourced company employees in the past three days and even scaled back press conferences and performances.

What do you think of this news..."

Hearing reporters raise this question during the media interview session before the press conference, Lei Jun, CEO of Rice Group, who was invited, showed great emotional intelligence.

He said in his distinctive English accent: "Outsourced company employees are inherently unstable employment targets. In fact, many companies around the world have outsourced employees. Laying off these employees can better streamline the company's functional departments and streamline the company's functional departments. The budget is used to improve the benefits of regular employees.”

After finishing speaking, Lei Jun said as if unintentionally: "Our Rice Group will also lay off some inefficient outsourcing employees. After all, only in this way can we stimulate the work efficiency of employees and bring better products and smarter technology to users. life experience.

If it were not for high efficiency, our rice new energy vehicles would not be able to reach global users so quickly. I am looking forward to tonight's Pingguo new product launch conference, and I am also looking forward to future rice car launches. "

After saying that, Lei Jun and the accompanying company executives left the interview area and walked straight to the VIP area of ​​Pingguo Company's new product launch conference.

But he didn’t know that after the interview, the reporter himself went on camera and said to the camera: “According to insiders, some outsourced employees complained that Pingguo Company treated them like second-class citizens.

They do not have stock options, medical insurance or other benefits, and Pingguo has a large number of outsourced employees in its technical support and customer service teams. In addition, Pingguo is also serious about projects such as product and service localization and Pingguo Maps. Reliance on outsourced staff.

In contrast, technology giants such as Linxun, Google, and Tesila have laid off thousands of employees in recent months.

But at the same time, Daxia Technology companies are recruiting industry elites on a large scale and forming professional teams in various industries to enhance their competitiveness and technical strength.

We cannot say which of these companies' strategies are right or wrong, but we know that many high-paying jobs no longer belong to us alone, and our jobs are being challenged! "

This is the ability of media reporters.

The black and white facts can be interpreted in a deviating way when they are narrated or inserted into certain pictures.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Pingguo's autumn conference, and many highly biased reports are in progress.

Wait until night falls.

A man named Kuko, he walked towards netizens around the world with three mobile phones, three watches, and a pair of headphones.

The first thing introduced at the conference was the new generation of Apple watches.

Kuko was confident on the stage and talked freely: "The product has built-in advanced health sensors, which can help users gain in-depth insights into their own health conditions, including sleep duration, heart rate, blood oxygen, and body temperature, and these health data are only stored on the user's device, and are also protected by multiple encryption.

Once the user's physical data shows critical illness, car accident, suffocation, shock, etc., the watch will proactively contact emergency rescue, provide the location to the responding personnel, and notify the user's emergency contacts. "
