Chapter 1023 Standing and earning money
Duan Yongping shook his head and gave up the crazy idea of increasing the price of the Xiaolong pager by 500 to 800 yuan.
As a cross-generation product that surpasses contemporary pagers, the Xiaolong pager naturally has the capital to increase its price. It also has a reason to be higher in price than Motorola's Chinese display pager, and it should also be higher than the price of Motorola's Han display pager.
If even a product like the Xiaolong pager cannot be sold at a higher price than Motorola, doesn't it mean that China's products are inherently lower than those of foreign countries.
It further proves that the so-called moon abroad is round.
Why!
It makes no sense!
Furthermore, the massive involvement of scalpers has proven the product strength and value of Xiaolong pagers. On the other hand, Motorola next door not only has no scalpers, but also quietly lowered the price by 500 yuan. As for other domestic and foreign pager manufacturers, they have also
The price range of my own is reduced by 600 to 300 yuan depending on whether it is high or low.
In this battle of Xiaolong pagers, Qingtian Communications has already won. If Motorola wants to catch up, it will at least have to wait until their high-speed coding is written.
The reason why he does not want to increase the price is because the Xiaolong pager is the first generation pager product of Qingtian Communications. If he decides to increase the price after the price is already set, it is blasphemy to consumers and customers, and it is an extremely bad thing.
Things worth feeling well about.
However, the price of the second-generation Xiaolong pager can be increased. It would be unreasonable if the price does not increase.
Duan Yongping's face showed a hint of a businessman's cunning and proud smile.
This was the first time that he truly felt the fruitful results brought about by technological innovation. It turned out that products could be so easy to sell, that he could ignore all competitors and make a lot of money, and still make money standing up.
This feeling of being invincible in the world is so good!
However, if you want to get the second-generation pager, you need to urge Ma Huateng more and let him do more work.
This is not just to increase prices. Now Dynamic Communications has almost robbed Motorola of the high-end pager market. Even if you think about it with your brain, you know that Motorola will definitely not be willing to just surrender and surrender.
When Motorola's new generation pagers appear, there will definitely be a different kind of bloody battle between Qingtian Communications and Motorola.
The second generation, more advanced pagers are particularly important.
To be honest, he could make money easily while standing, and he didn't want to go back to the days when he could only fight on price and beat others to their wits without giving up.
Now he really agrees more and more with what Fang Chen said, technological innovation is the primary productive force, and he also understands the path Qingtian will take as a high-tech company.
However, if a person works more than sixteen hours a day, will he die suddenly if he is pushed further?
After thinking about it, Duan Yongping felt that he could give it a little push. His working hours in the past were basically sixteen or seventeen hours a day. Now he has a family, is overworked, and has a bad waist.
, so working thirteen or four hours a day was a bit overwhelming.
As for Ma Huateng, a young man, it is when he is most energetic, so sleeping less means sleeping less, which is okay.
And the top priority now is to quickly increase the production capacity of Xiaolong pagers. He has taken away all the customers of high-end pagers, so Motorola will naturally have no customers.
After all, no one needs to carry two or three pagers with them, and the normal service life of a pager is five or six years.
Furthermore, with increased production capacity, products can also be sold to overseas markets.
After Huang Yihe, the executive vice president and overseas manager of Xiaobawang, set sail and went overseas to conquer the world.
He has fully understood what it means in overseas countries, especially in Southeast Asia and South America, where people are stupid, money is abundant, and competition pressure is low.
Most of these countries do not have complete industrial systems and cannot produce all industrial products like China, let alone mass production.
In the past, these overseas markets were the territory of Europe, America, and Japan. Most of them were too expensive, which fully demonstrated what it means to make money standing still.
Now that Qingtian has entered, let alone beating them to pieces, they really can't compete with Qingtian in terms of price.
People in Southeast Asia and South America are not very wealthy themselves, so they naturally prefer cheap and easy-to-use products like Huaxia's. Moreover, the selling price of Xiaobawang products overseas is generally 20% to 30% more expensive than in China, and the profit margin is even higher.
It should be more than 50% higher.
Therefore, in just one year, the overseas market has contributed nearly 800 million in revenue and 500 million in net profit to Xiaobawang, and it is still growing rapidly.
Naturally, he wanted to repeat the deeds of Little Overlord on Qingtian Communications and Xiaolong pager.
Furthermore, Qingtian will one day break out of China and face the world. Only by taking root in all parts of the world and continuously absorbing nutrients from it can Qingtian truly thrive and become a Qingtian that covers the sky and the sun.
Big tree!
Ma Huateng, who was facing the computer and trying to learn how to use CAD to design drawings, suddenly felt a sense of excitement. He seemed to feel that a heavy burden had been overwhelming him, and it seemed that he was about to lose something.
But immediately, he shook his head. Now he spends all day in the company, either working or eating and sleeping. Sometimes he even has to talk to people about work while eating. If he encounters any problem, even if he is sleeping soundly, he still has to jump into it.
If he gets up, puts on some clothes and continues working, what can he lose?
To put it bluntly, he didn't even have the money to spend it.
As the youngest vice-president-level executive of the Qingtian Department, with an annual salary of one million, he doesn't even have time to spend money. It's really sad.
The next day, Xiangshan City, Qingtian Little Overlord Co., Ltd.
Accompanied by Shen Wei and Huang Yihe, Fang Chen went to the company to inspect the work, and also visited the old employees of Little Overlord, which caused quite a stir.
As the longest-established company in Qingtian, Xiaobawang has many old employees. Basically all the cadres above the workshop director know Fang Chen and have had relatively close exchanges with him, and Fang Chen can tell a lot about them.
name.
However, in just over half a year, Fang Chen did not have Little Overlord, and Little Overlord also experienced great changes.
In the old factory area, which was the site of the earliest Rihua Electronics Factory, Duan Yongping and Jin Zhijiang discussed it and reported it to Fang Chen, saying that they were going to knock it all down, and then build dormitories and apartments, and then distribute them to the employees.
Housing.
Fang Chen naturally agreed to this. Most of the employees of Little Overlord came from all over the country and from all over the world. As Nan Diao who went south to find a job, naturally he didn't have any real estate in Xiangshan.
This is not to say that the employees of Xiaobawang have no money. As the company with the highest average salary income in the country, the employees of Xiaobawang cannot afford to buy a house. That is simply a joke.
Normally, the annual income of a Xiaobawang employee, that is, salary income plus year-end bonus, is basically around 9,000 yuan. If you meet someone who is relatively good at living, you can save 8,000 yuan a year.
Money is definitely not a problem.
At this time, the average price of a house was two to three hundred yuan per square meter, with an area of 30 to 40 square meters. In the era of one bedroom and one living room, a Xiaobawang employee could buy a house with a year's salary.
But the problem is that this is not an era when there is a surplus of houses. As long as you have money, the streets are full of houses.
In this era, in addition to the major local state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises built some houses one after another to solve the accommodation problem for their employees, which are also commonly known as old and small houses in later generations. The area of these old and small houses ranged from thirty to forty square meters.
Most of them are about seventy or eighty square meters, with one bedroom and one living room of twenty square meters.
Apart from old houses and small houses, there are only houses in villages in the city.
Therefore, there are not many of these houses, and if this house is sold, the important issue of where the original owner will live needs to be solved, so the real estate market at this time is almost zero.
If you want to take root and settle in the city, the only thing you can do is to allocate housing to a company or raise funds to build a house. This has triggered countless fights.
As a new company, Qingtian, the oldest Xiaobawang, is only in its fourth year since its establishment. Naturally, there is no such thing as divided housing. Even the employee dormitories are made up of a few buildings built in the factory area.
It's just a single dormitory.
In the past, most of the employees were relatively young and had to live in single dormitories. Even renting a house in the surrounding urban villages could solve the problem. But now as employees are getting married and starting businesses one after another, this has become a problem.
A problem was placed on his desk through Jin Zhijiang and Duan Yongping, and it had reached a point where it had to be solved.
As the saying goes, those who have perseverance have perseverance. If the employee housing problem cannot be solved for a long time, ordinary employees may not leave, but some of the most important backbones of the company, the backbone of various departments, and branch factories will definitely leave.
human.
For these people, salary is not a big issue. As long as they are willing to go out, there are many companies willing to hire them with higher salary. Qingtian's composition is their biggest golden brand.
The old factory is located in the urban area of Xiangshan, with relatively convenient transportation and complete supporting facilities. If you want to get a piece of land in Xiangshan with a better location than the old factory, given Xiaobawang's status in Xiangshan, it is basically possible.
It can be said to be impossible.
Therefore, Fang Chen directly made the decision to demolish the entire old factory area and build new houses for everyone. The specific implementation plan will be handled by Liutong Group.
Since they are working for the company, and the people who will live in this house in the future will be the company's employees, colleagues, Feng Lun and Pan Shiyi, in order not to be poked in the back by everyone, personally organize the drawing design and on-site construction.
As one of the few real estate developers in the country, there is no doubt about the strength of Liutong Group. Even because of Fang Chen, Liutong Group has done a lot of private work for Qingtian. Liutong Group can already be called the company that is most familiar with real estate in China.
.
"It can be said that since the news came that the company will demolish the old factory area and build new houses for everyone, everyone's enthusiasm and morale for work have increased by three points, except for a few people who have expressed their reluctance to leave the old factory area.
, basically everyone is happy and excited, and there are a lot more employees coming to the old factory to take photos in the past few days.”
After saying this, Jin Zhijiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After being beaten by Fang Chen before, he quickly discovered the problem, so this time he brought Huang Yi and the executive vice president, and none of the other senior executives.
"Since no one has objections, it's good. After the house is built, we can make a small sandbox in the old factory area, find a place on the first floor, and put it on display there."
Fang Chen looked at the old factory area in front of him with some complicated eyes, which was about to be demolished. The Little Overlord's take-off and his glory started from here. If he said that he had no feelings for this place, it would definitely be a lie.
But living people can't let their urine suffocate them to death. Furthermore, the potential of the old factory area has been exhausted. If you want to renovate it, you can only start a large-scale construction, but what is the difference between this and pushing it to reconstruction? And the site of the new factory area
It is large, and Fang Chen has left two hundred acres of land for the Little Overlord to expand at any time.
If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come, Fang Chen comforted himself in his heart.
After looking at the old factory area, Fang Chen ran to the new factory area and stared up at the huge statue of Optimus Prime for more than a minute before starting the original inspection work.
Two more huge factories have been built in the new factory area, which is expected to accommodate an additional 5,000 workers and expand production capacity by 30%. By then, Xiaobawang will become the first large enterprise in the Qingtian series to have more than 20,000 employees.
.
However, Fang Chen did not inspect the production lines of game consoles, learning machines, or even the production line of repeaters. He went directly to a factory building in the north of the factory.
The factory in the north of the factory is undoubtedly extremely mysterious to most Xiaobawang employees. They know almost nothing about this factory except that they know that new products are being produced here and they can often see new equipment being shipped in.
I don’t know what’s going on inside, let alone what new products are produced there.
Looking at the countless square boxes in front of him, Fang Chen felt that a new era of audio and video was slowly opening in front of him, and he was the founder of this era.
It can be said that it was the emergence of VCD that allowed countless film and television works to truly enter the home, greatly enriching people's material and cultural life, and even changing the fate of some people.
With his full support, VCD appeared much earlier than in previous lives.
In the previous life, the first VCD was successfully developed in September this year, and even Wanyan Company had to wait until December at the end of the year to establish it. It was not until 1994, or even the end of 1994, that the Chinese people became truly familiar with VCD.
But now it is only February 1993, and the first batch of VCDs from Little Overlord are already ready for the market. It can even be said that Fang Chen's inspection work is to make the final check for the launch of the first batch of VCDs.
