Chapter 324 We Are All Dreamers! (Add 4/10 for the Boss Who Needs to Do Things Again and Again)
Chapter 324 We are all dreamers! (Add 410 for the boss who needs to do things again and again)
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "The goal is good, but I think that modern society is a win-win society. I always think about zero-sum games, and the structure is a bit too small."
"Also, I think we can take a longer view. Although Shenhua's mobile phone business is good, it only has a relatively large influence in China."
Chang You was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean, Mr. Pei?"
Pei Qian: "The ultimate goal must be set higher. If you want to overthrow Shenhua, it is better to buy pineapple!"
Chang You was instantly in awe.
what is this?
This is the feeling of high mountains and flowing waters meeting bosom friends!
In fact, Chang You is very clear that this meeting is a two-way choice.
Mr. Pei is considering whether to hire him, and he is also considering whether to work under Mr. Pei.
Chang You has always had this kind of character, saying what he has to say, and never hiding it.
Therefore, he often made some shocking remarks on Weibo and at press conferences, and he also won the title of "Chang Da Mouth".
There are also many bosses of technology companies who don't like him because of this, thinking that he is a braggart who does not do practical things.
But even so, Chang You never thought of changing his behavior style.
He will only sneer in his heart, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
He believes that there will always be a boss who can understand himself!
But now, Mr. Pei casually said the words "acquisition of pineapple", which undoubtedly coincided with Chang You's thoughts.
And the realm is even higher!
Yes, why must it be turned over? Wouldn't an acquisition be better?
Chang You nodded thoughtfully: "Congratulations, Mr. Pei!"
Pei Qian thought for a while, then asked, "What kind of style do you have in your daily work?"
Chang You immediately replied: "I am a relatively arbitrary person, and all the employees under my command must completely obey my orders. I am also a perfectionist and do not allow any imperfection to occur."
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay! A leader must have his own ideas and cannot be easily influenced by others. I very much agree with your views!"
"So, what is your attitude towards the appearance of the mobile phone? Do you agree with the practice of imitating the pineapple mobile phone?"
Chang You decisively demanded: "I don't agree with it at all! Appearance is a very important part of the brand image, and of course you can't imitate other mobile phones. Of course, the mobile phone you design must be unique!"
Pei Qian asked again: "So what do you think about the price of mobile phones? Do you want to make low-priced mobile phones?"
Chang You thought for a while: "I think only high-end models can reflect the true strength of a technology company!"
Pei Qian asked again: "Then, what is your opinion on representatives of domestic products like Shenhua?"
Chang You said proudly: "They are doing very well, but one day, I will surpass them!"
Pei Qian couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Very good, this happens to be my idea!"
Pei Qian is simply too satisfied with this constant friend.
It fits my idea so well!
As for what kind of mobile phone to make, Pei Qian already has a general idea.
As an emerging mobile phone brand, the most likely to succeed is the cost-effective route. By lowering profit margins, one's own mobile phone looks more cost-effective than some well-known manufacturers at present, to seize the low-end market.
In the next decade or so, the domestic economy will continue to develop, but overall, the regional differences in economic development will keep people who care about the cost-effectiveness of mobile phones still existing.
In other words, there will always be a market for mobile phones that are easy to use and relatively cheap.
Since Pei Qian's goal is to make this mobile phone brand dirty, he must do the opposite. He must not target the low-end market and take the cost-effective route.
Instead, we must decisively set our sights on the high-end market!
At present, the domestic high-end market is still divided into three parts by Pineapple, MSC and Shenhua. Shenhua only dares to position the price of the flagship phone at around 5000.
And those who tried in vain to hit the high-end market basically died cleanly.
It can be seen that the safest way is to make high-end mobile phones!
And this regular friend obviously coincides with Mr. Pei's thoughts!
During the brief chat, Pei Qian also discovered that the image of this Changyou was a little bit different from what he had imagined.
Originally, Pei Qian just thought that this Changyou was a person with high ambitions, but now it seems that his goal is very clear.
And after careful observation, Pei Qian found that Mr. Chang also had some good shining points.
For example...he didn't regard all the friends and merchants as sb, but could objectively recognize Shenhua's achievements.
Moreover, this Chang always speaks politely in reality. Although he has some arrogance, he is not the kind of person who cannot get along with.
It doesn't look like such a stubborn and arbitrary person.
However, these small flaws did not affect Pei Qian's judgment on him.
In any case, since this person is determined to be in the high-end market, it coincides with his own ideas and is worth reuse!
Just as Pei Qian wanted to shake hands with Chang You to express his pleasant cooperation, he thought of a few questions and hurriedly asked them.
"If you don't mind, can you briefly tell me what happened when you were at Hongcheng Technology?"
Pei Qian had to confirm whether the bankruptcy of such a large company was due to Chang You or the company boss.
Chang You shook his head helplessly: "Hey, it's inappropriate to talk about the old club after resignation, I can't go into details."
"I can only say that the two of us have great differences in our routes."
"I always think that Hongcheng Technology should take the high-end route, but in fact, Hongcheng Technology has been making low-end phones, and likes to engage in price reductions, and the cash flow was very tight at one time."
"The boss of Hongcheng Technology has...a little hobby of spending money, which exacerbates this problem."
"Later...the capital chain was broken, and it was out of control."
"Of course, I have to be honest. The research and development of the project I was responsible for spent more than the budget, but did not produce good enough results. This is also one of the reasons for the problem of the funding chain."
Pei Qian nodded: "Understand!"
It seems that this matter cannot be blamed on one person, and both of them are a little bit responsible.
The route of Hongcheng Technology has always been to make low-end phones, and Pei Qian knows this.
The sales of Hongcheng Technology have increased through price reduction promotions, but the cash flow has not been good, which is what the boss said in the interview, "Hongcheng Technology has never really made money."
As a result, Changyou insisted on taking the high-end route and spent a lot of money on research and development, which broke the company's capital chain and made GG all of a sudden.
As for the boss of Hongcheng Technology has a hobby of spending money...
Pei Qian felt that Chang You was probably throwing the blame!
The boss has a small hobby of spending money, so how much can he spend? As for the capital chain that affects tens of millions or hundreds of millions?
Although Chang You was throwing the blame, Pei Qian was not angry.
In the enlightened and prosperous age, President Pei finally caught a treacherous minister!
Seeing Mr. Pei's trusting smile, Chang You couldn't help smiling back.
bosom friend!
In fact, he has been very distressed about Hongcheng Technology.
The bankruptcy of Hongcheng Technology really has nothing to do with him.
On the surface, he is responsible for the products released by Hongcheng Technology, but the boss has been dictating behind his back.
The goal of entering the high-end market has been set long ago, but the boss is hesitant about this route, because there is not enough money and people.
In the end, the boss suddenly lost 120 million because of his "little hobby", directly breaking the capital chain and declaring the bankruptcy of Hongcheng Technology.
Chang You couldn't do anything about it, the news was well concealed and didn't come out, and out of morality, he couldn't jump out and speak ill of his old club, and it would make him look like a villain.
As a result, he inexplicably became the backer.
People who eat melons will definitely think, Hongcheng Technology was originally good, so why did Changyou go bankrupt as soon as he became the vice president?
Therefore, Chang You faced many difficulties when he wanted to make a mobile phone. Because whether it is other manufacturers or consumers, they all think that he is a bastard, and they don't believe him at all!
But at Mr. Pei's place, Chang You felt the long-lost warmth and trust.
He could tell that Mr. Pei's every word was from the heart, and he was definitely not lying to him, and Mr. Pei's kind smile was absolutely impossible to fake!
At this moment, Chang You decided that even if Boss Pei can't spend much money, even if it's just a small mobile phone manufacturer, he will grow up with this company and never leave it!
Chang You asked: "Mr. Pei, I want to ask, what is the price of our first mobile phone?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "The first mobile phone...be conservative."
Chang You was a little disappointed, after all, he wanted to make a high-end phone.
But after thinking about it, this is a start-up game company after all, and you can't eat a fat man with one bite.
The first mobile phone should be safe, try the water first, and then hit the high-end market later, which is also understandable.
After all, Pei is always a confidant, and Chang You feels that he can bear this little grievance.
Chang You nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to make an exception for you!"
Pei Qian looked at him, and continued: "To make a product, you have to seize the vacancy in the market. I think our first mobile phone must be positioned in a position where there is currently a vacancy in the market."
Chang You thought for a while: "Below 1,000 yuan, or around 3,000 yuan?"
At present, the price of low-end models is mainly hovering around 2,000 yuan, while high-end models range from 4,000 to 6,000.
Even if it is a pineapple mobile phone, the current highest configuration version is about 7000.
Pei Qian shook his head: "None."
Chang You was a little stunned: "Then... there is no other free time."
Pei Qian: "Yes, isn't the stall above 7,000 empty?"
"Let's directly produce a mobile phone with 8,000 gears, and there will be absolutely no competitors!"
Chang You was stunned.
For the first time, he felt that he had met a dreamer who could dream better than himself.
