Chapter 575 Signs and Fang Nian's Thunder Means (Part 1)(1/3)
“What does Mr. Fang think of Meizu’s new phone?”
Lei Jun spoke unhurriedly, with no meaning in his tone.
Even if Lei Jun didn't ask, Fang Nianben would have taken advantage of the phone call to say a few words. After all, he had already planned it.
Without much hesitation, Fang Nian said frankly and honestly: "Mr. Huang has contacted Nuwa Laboratory."
"It has been decided to start the final round of promotion warm-up at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the new phone will go on sale next Monday in the five cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai."
"Nuwa Laboratory will provide necessary cooperation and publicity."
"After all, it is the first mobile phone equipped with Nuwa system, so it requires certain additional risks. Even after several adjustments, I am still not optimistic about it. Although judging from the popularity on the Internet, there seems to be a lot of kerosene, but..."
At this point, Fang Nian paused briefly and sighed: "It is said that production capacity is seriously insufficient."
After hearing what Fang Nian said, Lei Jun pondered for a moment and said casually: "The production capacity is indeed not ideal, the average is about 3,000 units per day."
"..."
This can be said to be a tacit statement.
How to say...
In the whole of China, Meizu is currently the only domestic smartphone brand that can handle it a little bit.
‘China Cool Alliance’ is still a customized machine for operators.
Including Juchang's latest IDEOS, it has no intention of entering the mainstream market just from the appearance design.
Meizu has been trying to subvert domestic mobile phones since the M8.
Therefore, the Meizu brand actually has a certain number of fans.
Moreover, this m9, which has experienced numerous ticket delays, has applied many new design concepts.
But in the end, the figure given by Meizu was a daily production capacity of 3,000.
It’s not that Meizu has no money, Fang Nian specifically settled in advance the investment amount that was originally agreed to be delivered by the end of the year.
It’s not that the foundry doesn’t accept orders.
It is actually good to release new phones at this time point.
Apple's iPhone 4 has been on the market for nearly half a year and has also been launched in China. Users' enthusiasm for purchasing it has gradually declined, and the corresponding number of OEM orders will also decrease.
Correspondingly, part of the foundry's productivity will be freed up.
The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and the workers are also looking forward to having their pockets a little bigger when they go home.
From this perspective, foundries and workers all wish they could have 30 hours a day.
pity……
None of this is worth Huang Xiujie's own caution.
He dare not take excessive risks.
From the perspective of Fang Nian and Lei Jun, Meizu’s m9 does not have too many selling points, and it is unlikely that it would even dare to conduct a market assessment of 1 million units.
Even Lei Jun can easily find a dozen selling points.
The first smartphone to be made in China from the inside out.
The first mobile phone equipped with the "Nuwa" system.
The first Chinese mobile phone comparable to iPhone4.
The first one...
Not to mention that Fang Nian, who has been trained in advertising for countless years, even dares to use the term "next generation".
It's a pity that the same sentence remains, no one can really make a decision for another person...
From the moment he learned about the publicity plan and production capacity, Fang Nian accepted this result, which was not surprising.
Listening to Lei Jun's tacit tone, Fang Nian said calmly: "Mr. Huang said that he would accept deposit reservations through the specialty store. I want to convene an alliance meeting based on the overall sales situation after the 8th;
After the launch of m9, Nuwa System Laboratory has completed its phased tasks;
The follow-up includes how to release the version, how to provide technical support to the alliance, etc. I hope we can sit down and have a frank discussion to clarify the rules."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun immediately stated: "There is no problem with Xiaomi, whether it is a conference call or anything else."
"It just so happens that Frontier Angel has made some money recently. I will be the host and hold a cocktail party at the Park Hyatt in Shanghai. Everyone, come and sit down. What do you think?" Fang Nian asked.
Lei Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Fang, set a time first."
"It would be better to invite some investors."
Fang Nian smiled and responded: "No problem."
"..."
For Fang Nian, setting a time means...
See if you don't want to be lazy in the afternoon.
As soon as an idea came to my mind, I decided on November 10th.
After explaining to Lei Jun, I hung up the phone, and then contacted Huang Xiujie, Chen Mingyong, Shen Wei, and Yu Dadong one by one.
Then he contacted familiar investors such as Neil Shen, Kuang Ping, Liu Qin, etc.
All in all, the momentum is not small.
After all, there will be some investors who think they are qualified and will come to join in the fun.
Including these invited people, they will also bring one or two appropriate friends.
Calculated, it has been almost half a year, and Fang Nian has not had much contact with the outside world.
You have to work hard for a few days.
After the time was set, Fang Nian handed the matter over to Wen Ye to contact and make preparations.
There isn’t much to pay attention to when it comes to cocktail parties, especially for a hotel like the Park Hyatt.
Wen Ye only needs to submit his needs to Baiyue based on Fang Nian's preferences, and that's it.
Although she is still in the three northeastern provinces.
"..."
…………
In the evening of the same day, Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe responded after handling the preliminary implementation matters of the Yangcheng Qianyan Institute.
Compared with the smoothness in Shencheng, the situation in Yangcheng is a bit worse.
After all, everyone has different styles.
In addition, as a student at Fudan University last year, Yang Yuliang was somewhat 'biased'.
However, Guan Qiuhe and Lu Weiyu are both "skilled workers", and they have taken care of things in the past few days.
Later, the listing will be arranged before December according to the time window.
After all, in the planning, Fang Nian hopes that the first batch of graduate students will be admitted to each frontier institute in September next year...
In addition, Fang Nian still failed to submit the report from Baize Laboratory this Friday.
The latest news is:
It must be submitted before get off work next Friday.
certainly……
There is also good news this week. The preliminary coordination work of the Beijing Frontier Institute has been completed, and the preliminary implementation stage can be entered next week.
To be honest, as smooth as the establishment and development of Nuwa Laboratory was, the establishment process of Baize Laboratory is now so protracted.
No matter how much good news there is, Fang Nian's dissatisfaction with the work efficiency of Bai Ze's laboratory is still palpable.
"Mr. Fang, stop frowning all the time, you look old!"
Seeing this, Lu Weiyu joked with a smile.
"After all, chips are at the hardware level, and the domestic foundation is very weak. Even if we design independently on the public version architecture, we will face many difficulties."
Fang Nian sighed: "Such efficiency is hard to satisfy, it's really a bad start!"
Lu Weiyu consoled her: "Just don't compare it with Nuwa Laboratory. After all, domestic computers have been booming in the past two years, and software is the hottest industry, and Xiaomi has completed the basic work before."
"If I follow this work efficiency, I may not see any effective results within nine months." Fang Nian said calmly.
Hearing this, Lu Weiyu also frowned: "Can't you slow down?"
"Even if we keep spending money, we can't slow down." Fang Nian said firmly.
Lu Weiyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will evaluate the impact of the preparation work on the overall progress again."
"Don't worry about it."
"Okay." Fang Nian smiled and really didn't worry about it anymore.
