Chapter 340 Take off, Charming Electronics

"I just wanted to talk to Mr. Hu about this. I suggest that the selection of advertising spokespersons this time does not necessarily have to be A-list celebrities. You can consider young people with good appearance and potential influence among young people.

Come and take charge.”

Yan Hanzhang hopes to carry out a "Charming Campus Tour" activity in the new school season, on the one hand to promote Charming Electronics' music mobile phone, and on the other hand to select spokespersons.

Hu Yang thought Yan Hanzhang's idea was very good, so he smiled and said: "You can handle this matter, I won't ask."

The purpose of the Charming Campus Tour is to showcase the style of contemporary young people, and at the same time there will be a selection of "Charming Angels". After the selection, the spokesperson of the music phone will be selected from the top three.

There are countless selections in these years, so I don’t care about this one more.

Since Hu Yang did not object, Yan Hanzhang went down to arrange the matter. The entire selection event itself was also a large-scale advertising campaign. Soon after the warm-up of the event began, the sales of Charming Electronics' music mobile phones reached a new level.

At the same time, the mobile phone memory card developed by the design company has completed sample testing. The test results were very good, and Charming Electronics decided to place an order with an integrated circuit manufacturing company.

This weekend, Populus euphratica happened to be in Shanghai.

So he made a special trip to Charm Manufacturing to ask Huang Tao and Sa Hongli for their opinions.

Both Huang Tao and Sa Hongli said that there are no problems in production, and product quality and yield rate can be guaranteed.

"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect our Charming Electronics to be so impressive. As their sales increase, our order numbers will increase. This is very important for the development of Charming Manufacturing."

Huang Tao felt deeply that it was really difficult on the road to technical uphill climb.

The technical difficulties are still there, but faced with the pressure of low-price dumping by industry giants, companies are simply suffering.

They are technologically advanced, and their advanced products are sold at high prices. Charming Manufacturing is a technological catch-up, and its own products have to lag behind, and prices are suppressed to a low-profit predicament. Without sufficient order quantities, it can only watch losses.

Sa Hongli was more optimistic. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, when our production increases, at least in the mid- to low-end market, I, Lao Sa, will have the confidence to compete with them. Of course, the most important thing is technological progress. We

You can’t keep following others and eating dirt.”

Hu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, you still have to have confidence. Think about it, how long did it take for charm manufacturing to appear? As long as we don't collapse within three years, we will be able to establish the company's position in the industry in three years."

"

Isn't it just burning money? Could it be that the 1.2 billion US dollars invested cannot last even three years?

"That's right, isn't this how Xintong International came to be?"

Huang Tao and Sa Hongli were determined not to let their boss down no matter what.

Hu Yang stayed in Magic City for a few days, and then flew directly to Yangcheng. His sister Hu Yue gave birth to a daughter, and he came back specially to see his sister and his little niece.

"Son, how old is Xiao Xi when you buy so many toys? He won't be able to play with them for another year or two."

Hu Yang not only bought a lot of toys, but also some imported milk powder and baby products. There is a new baby in the family. Even though the little princess is not named Hu, she is still the baby of the whole family.

"Mom, just leave what you don't need for now. You, it's better not to work too hard. We have hired an extra nanny at home, and you are still very busy all day long. It's true."

Li Guixiang and Hu Zhiguang gathered their thoughts and stayed in Yangcheng since Hu Yue had the baby.

After the little princess was born, especially the mother, she was worried all day long, for fear that others might not do something well.

"Look, I told your mother the same thing, but she didn't listen to me."

Hu Zhiguang's words are a bit joking. Doesn't he care about the little princess more than anyone else?

"Go, go, you, an old man, don't know how to raise children." Li Guixiang drove Hu Zhiguang out with a smile, and then said mysteriously: "Yang Yang, I heard that you are talking about a girlfriend, what?

Time to bring it back and show it to mom?"

Needless to say, this kind of news can only come from my uncle Li Hao.

"Okay, let's wait and see when we have time. Mom, I'll go back to the deep sea first. If you need anything, call me."

There was a newborn baby at home, and Populus euphratica was of no help at all. He stayed there for two days and then returned to the deep sea in despair.

Why do you say it's pessimistic? Because the whole family's attention is on the little princess, and most of the time, no one cares about her at all.

"Mr. Hu, the back-to-school season is coming soon. In order to cooperate with the charming campus tour, we plan to increase the fire and launch a buy one get one free event soon."

Yan Hanzhang and Hu Yang were close to each other. Their offices were in the same building. He ran to Hu Yang's office every now and then.

The "buy one, get one free" campaign he mentioned today means that if you buy a Charming Music phone, you will get a 32MB memory card for free.

That's right, it's 32mb instead of 32gb. At this point in time, the capacity of memory cards cannot be compared at all with the future.

Music mobile phones are nothing more than integrating mobile phone technology and audio technology to achieve the perfect integration of mobile phones and MP3 players.

Audio files in the mp3 format are generally not large, and the sound quality is not high-fidelity. But for young people to listen to music, it is enough.

Yan Hanzhang has calculated that even if he sells a music phone and gives away a 32MB memory card, there will still be a lot of profit left on the phone.

But the word-of-mouth effect it brings far exceeds the cost value of this activity.

With the launch of the "Charming Campus Tour and Charming Angel Selection" and the vigorous promotion of "buy one, get one free", Charming Music Phone has won the favor of young people, college students, and fashionable people.

Although music phones are not yet considered mainstream products on the market, they already dominate the market segment.

According to Yan Hanzhang's estimation, the sales of Charming Music Phones this year should exceed 2 million units. As for next year, this number will double? Four times? Or more times, who knows!

"Mr. Hu, Charming Electronics' music mobile phone will have good development prospects. Some people say that it is a niche product, but I don't think so. I think that in the future, the functions of mobile phones will become more diversified, entertainment-oriented, and intelligent.

This is the general trend.”

Yan Hanzhang has his own understanding of the development trend of mobile phones.

As a "experienced person", Hu Yang was surprised by his keenness and intuition. In fact, at the end of the development of second-generation mobile phones, various tricks emerged in an endless stream. However, due to the constraints of 2G technology, these tricks could not essentially improve the user experience.

The epoch-making technological improvements will have to wait until the era of smartphones.

After receiving feedback from Charming Music Phone in the market, Gao Mingkang couldn't help but marvel at Charming Electronics' ability to grasp the product itself.

However, the development directions of Mingkang Communications and Charming Electronics are different.

Mingkang Communication's products currently include communication equipment in addition to PHS and mobile phones. The company has given up the research and development of program-controlled switches and focuses on mobile communication technology.

Hu Yang is very satisfied with the development of Charming Technology and Mingkang Communications. These two companies, together with Xentong International and Oriental Technology, form the cornerstone of his business layout.

...

Time slips away quietly when you are busy or leisurely.

Hu Yang has now extended the time to go to Magic City to once a month. Under the leadership of Meng Rusong, Xintong International has accelerated the pace of development.

The changes occurred at Xijiang Xueling Food. Dong Qi responded quickly and immediately called Xu Younian to report.

Xu Younian received the call and hurried from Yangcheng to Shenhai to discuss countermeasures with Populus euphratica.

"Mr. Hu, the situation this year is a bit subtle. Xijiang Honghe suddenly raised the purchase price of tomatoes. Although it has little impact on our contract units and farmers, it will cause an unfavorable situation for the signing of the contract for the next year."

Xijiang Honghe entered the field of tomato paste production relatively late. In order to develop beyond the norm, Pang Qianli adopted the strategy of "seizing food from the tiger's mouth".

After hearing this, Hu Yang smiled casually. What does this mean? It means that Pang Qianli is a little impatient. He needs to package Xijiang Honghe quickly to give everyone confidence. Only in this way, the capital chain of Xijiang Bandung will not be broken.

"Mr. Xu, please tell Manager Dong and the management team of Xueling Food that we have an interdependent relationship with our contract units and farmers. Xijiang Honghe can go crazy, but we can't. Next year, the price will still float at the normal level.

The purchase price can be raised appropriately."

The profit margin for the deep processing of agricultural products is not very high, especially for export to European and American markets, where the price mechanism is relatively mature. Raising the purchase price significantly will either sacrifice the profits of the company or increase the price. Both of these points are very harmful and will cause endless troubles.

"Okay, I will go to Xijiang in person and formulate a detailed plan with Manager Dong and the others. However, although Xueling Food has signed a long-term contract with everyone, if Xijiang Honghe does this, it will have a negative impact on the company's future next year.

Production and operations will definitely have a negative impact."

Xu Younian also knows that following the other party in a price war is not a good choice. However, it is basically foreseeable that Xueling Food's revenue and profits will decline in the next one or two years.

After seeing Populus euphratica, he hurriedly flew to Xijiang, and Wang Qingquan was temporarily in charge of Huijia Holdings.

At this time, Wang Qingquan had officially joined Huijia Holdings. Considering his qualifications and past work performance, Hu Yang appointed him as the deputy general manager of Huijia Holdings.

Many people in Huijia Holdings were actually not convinced by the vice president who came down from the air. Especially the heads of several departments, they complained in private.

However, given Hu Yang's authority in the company, no one dared to bring this emotion to work.

Whether Wang Qingquan can gain a firm foothold in Huijia Holdings will depend on his own abilities in the future. This time Xu Younian temporarily delegates power is a good opportunity for him.

"Mr. Wang, are you familiar with the Science and Technology Incubator Park? Come and try it. This is the best Dahongpao that someone gave me."

Shortly after Xu Younian left, Wang Qingquan came to Huijia International Investment Building to meet Hu Yang.

Now, the identities of the two have changed again, and Hu Yang has also changed his name to Wang Qingquan on various occasions.

Wang Qingquan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Good tea! Mr. Hu, I haven't been in the company for a long time. I have a lot of things and I'm far from familiar with it. However, I know about the technology incubator park.

I have some ideas.”

The daily work of Huijia Holdings has formed a set of effective operating rules. If Wang Qingquan wants to achieve results in a short period of time, he can only find other ways, such as technology incubation parks.

Hu Yang nodded and signaled Wang Qingquan to continue.

"I personally feel that the company can now further refine the management of technology startups in the incubator park in terms of screening and investment. For example, it can set up a project grading system and have a complete set of measures for all science and technology startups.

standard."

At present, Huijia Holdings selects projects from technology incubators and takes the route of selecting the best from the best. In terms of evaluation, the standards are too harsh.

Wang Qingquan hopes that the company can further refine the evaluation standards and adopt project classification. For five-star evaluation projects, you can invest heavily. For four-star evaluation projects, you can invest normally. For three-star evaluation projects, you can be cautious.

invest.
