Chapter 459: Terrifying Money-Making Ability
A glass of water spilled on the table.
The HR of "Enlightened Intelligence" frowned slightly. He had a good impression of this job seeker, but what happened to the cup of water?
He could only get up to get a napkin, and happened to see Zhou Rui's back passing by.
The job seeker said awkwardly: "Sorry, I just saw Mr. Zhou of your company, and I was distracted."
The HR handed over a pack of tissues: "Did you see Mr. Zhou's information on the Internet?"
The job seeker said: "Of course, Mr. Zhou is my idol. I am a mechanical designer. When I disassembled the Lingniao series designed by Mr. Zhou..."
At this point, he smiled awkwardly, as if it was not appropriate to say that it was not appropriate to disassemble someone's machine in front of him.
The HR did not delve into it and opened the other party's resume.
Name: Zhong Zhengnan, 27 years old
Education: Postgraduate
Educational experience: Undergraduate stage-Zhejiang University, postgraduate stage-Imperial College London
Work experience
To be honest, this is a relatively good resume.
It was not because the other party was a returnee. In fact, Mr. Zhou specifically emphasized that we should not "only focus on foreign universities" and should focus on practical talents. He would rather recruit more students from Northwestern Polytechnical University and Harbin Institute of Technology.
What made HR think that the other party was excellent was the attachment behind the resume, which contained some of Zhong Zhengnan's past mechanical design works and won certain awards.
The other party had previously worked in a large multinational technology company to design robotic arms. At least according to his resume, his practical level was very strong, which was in line with the tone of "Enlightened Intelligence". After all, the company's technical personnel were led by the boss, and each of them was a hand-rubbing expert.
After the initial contact, HR called a technician to chat with Zhong Zhengnan to estimate the other party's actual level, and still received a high evaluation.
Before the end of the interview, HR said: "I have something to tell you. Our company's background check will be very strict, especially for those with overseas study experience and overseas work experience. You must be mentally prepared."
Zhong Zhengnan smiled slightly: "Okay, no problem."
————————
In the other meeting room, Zhou Rui was meeting with the sales department to formulate the next stage of Kaiming Intelligence's sales strategy.
Everyone knows that "Spirit Bird" is not the boss's favorite, "Agricultural God" is, but this thing does make money, and it makes a lot of money.
So the theme of the meeting is still around "Spirit Bird".
According to the sales department's estimate, the monthly sales volume of the "Spirit Bird" series is capable of reaching 600,000-650,000 units. Of course, full-scale deployment will quickly cool down the market heat, which is not a good choice.
Finally, it was discussed that the monthly shipment volume should be controlled within 400,000 units, so that both production pressure and maintaining market heat will be more reasonable.
400,000 units.
This means that according to the estimated selling prices of "Spirit Bird 1" and "Spirit Bird 1Pro", monthly sales can reach 2.4 billion.
This is a very exaggerated number, which directly exceeds all the business behaviors that Zhou Rui has been involved in in the past. Even Zhou Rui himself feels a little inflated.
It's not that the heart is inflated, but there is a feeling that the company is expanding too fast.
At present, the demand for electronic consumer products is rising rapidly and it is a crazy era of money-making. Large categories such as smartphones and computers, small categories such as acoustics and reading
Every one of them is making a lot of money.
As long as you make a product that is recognized by the market, you don't have to worry about cash flow, which is a bit like the home appliances or automobiles in the past.
This is not only a situation unique to the domestic market, but the demand for electronic consumer products in the global market is also growing rapidly.
In the past, many reputable companies were gradually nurtured during this period.
The most special thing about "Kaiming Intelligence" is that it has opened up a unique category and is currently a serious exclusive track. Even if drones are not as popular as mobile phones, what if there are no competitors?
It is not surprising that it has such a terrifying ability to attract money.
"Mr. Zhou, the combination of offline flagship stores and online sales is a very good idea. Although our offline stores have a ceiling for sales and additional operating costs, the communication effect and brand effect brought by them are far higher than conventional advertising. I suggest that this model can be replicated in major cities in China."
Zhou Rui glanced at the emotional sales director and said, "If you open stores nationwide, personnel management training and technical support are all big challenges. You can add two or three stores in Shanghai first."
If you take too big a step, you will easily fail.
In the final analysis, it is still a lack of manpower. "Kaiming Intelligence" has only 60 people so far, and most of them are technical personnel.
Zhou Rui has actually been suppressing the speed of personnel expansion. Otherwise, with the current business scale of the company, it would be no problem to adapt to 200 people.
Finally, it was decided that three new direct-sale stores would be added in Shanghai, all located in the best business districts and shopping malls, with a larger area and a more conspicuous brand. It seems to increase the operating cost, but it brings greater traffic benefits.
In addition, we should start selling from the platform and guide it to direct sales on the official website to reduce channel costs.
The sales department is powerless to solve the problem of "Agricultural God" that we talked about at the end, after all, there is no stock.
There are dozens of orders backlogged, but the delivery volume is only a pitiful two. At the new BYT factory, it will not be produced until January next year at the earliest.
Especially the only delivery before, two were given to Jiangsu Province, and now agricultural departments in various parts of Zhejiang Province are asking almost every day.
Zhou Rui rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The remaining two units of the company can be delivered first, at least to show a stance."
As for the remaining orders, don't rush them. I'll go back and rub them by hand.
This boss is so tiring. It doesn't fit my identity as the "youngest billionaire" at all!
After the meeting, Zhou Rui talked about the God of Agriculture with Wang De and others, and then returned to the studio next to his office.
He will be very busy in the next few days, so he plans to do some odd jobs today.
The special "ball" promised to Han Ziyin still has some work to be done.
On the table, there is already an almost finished, pure white small "ball", the surface is PP material with a frosted glass texture, and the internal LED light strip simulates a silly smile.
Zhou Rui took out the recording equipment: "Ahem, ahhh"
Cleared his throat, then said to the microphone in a nine-point clip and one-point real voice: "Wei~ Good morning!"
Well, it's a bit hard to hold
But it's a special one, so much effort has been put in, and this shiver is all that's missing.
"Wei~ I'm out of power, please charge me!"
"It's time to sleep!"
"Princess, please get in the car!"
"Do you need me to call Zhou Rui?"
"Please put me on the ground!"
I feel like something strange has been recorded
This thing Zhou Rui uses cellular traffic to allow it to relay and network, becoming a part of the "smart building", equivalent to the "cloud". Although there will be delays in use, at least it has escaped the embarrassing situation of "becoming a toy without the smart building".
In terms of basic functions, it is basically the same as the "ball" in the company, and can be used as a simple interactive assistant, but it needs to be used with the functions of other devices in the "smart building", so it is destined to be unusable.
After Zhou Rui recorded dozens of messages, a system prompt suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Entry task [Voice Change], experience value +1, current progress (100/100), please claim it."
Zhou Rui did not check it immediately, but recorded all the content according to the plan, and then closed his eyes and opened the system screen.
The No. 2 task bar flickered with a faint light, waiting for Zhou Rui to claim it.
"Receive!"
It is probably an entry that matches the name of the task, such as [Voice Changing].
It can't be [Voice Actor], right?
As Zhou Rui clicked his consciousness, the text on the task bar broke into messy strokes, and finally a flash of white light passed.
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the white entry [Voice Skills]!"
Oh? Zhou Rui was slightly stunned, this is not what he imagined.
"Entry effect: Within the scope of not exceeding the physiological limit, the host can freely adjust the voice line, can quickly master and imitate the voice of people, animals, or objects, the degree of realism is related to the difference in the original voice line, and: greatly increase the flexibility of the tongue and muscle strength."
