Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 164 Cost
Guahao.com is developing rapidly, and all employees are too busy.

Because of the unexpected acquisition of a national honor, Fang Zhuo temporarily postponed a media conference that was originally planned to be held, and planned to wait for the company to digest the benefits of this period before announcing greater results.

During the Golden Week holiday of Labor Day in early May, all staff continued to work overtime.

Even Fang Zhuo didn't even meet Yu Hong and Su Wei a few times, but the product manager Xu Kedeng took the opportunity to "buzz" a lot in his ears.

On May 5th, the busy state of Guahao.com finally eased slightly, and the string that was tense up and down slowly relaxed.

"Boss, please have dinner tonight."

Yu Hong entered the office carelessly, took off her coat, and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "These two days have suddenly become hot, and the temperature has risen so fast."

The weather in Shencheng in May is already quite high, especially after two rounds of the city's hospitals, people can't wait to drink three bottles of ice water.

Fang Zhuo finished writing a piece of information seriously before he raised his head and said, "Why am I the one who invites you to dinner?"

"Because Weiwei and I don't want to pay." Yu Hong complained, "In the past two days, I met a vice president who asked me how much a marketing director gets..."

She continued: "I said I would take 1500, but the vice president didn't believe it, saying it was impossible for it to be so low."

Fang Zhuo encouraged: "Didn't you tell him Zhou Xin's salary? That's our technical director."

"No, I'm not as bad as you. We've been tired for half a month. You can figure it out." Yu Hong was really tired. She was not only in Shencheng, but also returned to Lin'an and Jinling from time to time.

"That's fine." Fang Zhuo thought for a moment, "I'm just going to discuss with our Director Su about the changes in the salary system. How many people are there at night? You can eat anywhere, and the company will reimburse you."

"The last time you invited Penguin Ma and Shen Xin to dinner, Wei Wei kept saying that the Cantonese food there is delicious." Yu Hong has a goal, "I'm going to try it."

"Jade Garden, it's done."

So, in the evening, the four shareholders of Guahao.com tasted the authentic Cantonese cuisine of Master Cuiyuan.

No alcohol, only juice, pure food.

Zhou Xin ate very happily, but when he was studying Xueha, he heard Yu Hong ask Fang Zhuo, "Is Yike really good?" Then, the technical director's ears perked up, paying attention to the movement while eating.

"I don't know if it will work. Xu Keden has already done M1-9. I found that his team has been building machines faster recently." Fang Zhuo took a bite of the food, "Anyway, he said that the technical difficulty of making this machine is not bad. High, but not cheap."

Su Wei took a sip of the juice and asked, "Is that gadget expensive?"

"The hard disk we got from Toshiba is 75, the display module is 24, the processing chip is 10, the controller chip is 8, and the other parts add up to nearly 100." Fang Zhuo pointed to the three shareholders of Guahao.com Computing costs.

Su Wei mentally calculated quickly, and said, "217 yuan, the cost is not bad."

Fang Zhuo grinned: "The pricing unit is US dollars."

$217?Nearly 1800?
All three of them were stunned. The cost is not low, but the cost is very high!
Although Yu Hong, the marketing director, didn't know the specific market situation of music players, she still felt that something was wrong: "1800 yuan? Crazy? Who is this selling to? You don't want to cheat the venture capital again, do you?"

Fang Zhuo said dissatisfiedly: "What is 'again'? I said it before, it is a high-end model of Sony's product line compared to the Walkman."

"Talking about it and running to someone's house are two different things." Yu Hong threw down her chopsticks.

"Our machine adopts the latest technology, which is the trend of the future. What's wrong with the price? It can't be said that if you have money, you can buy Sony, but if you don't have money, you can buy Echo." Fang Zhuo speaks eloquently, "Besides, we are the best music player in the northern hemisphere. "

Yu Hong didn't dare to answer the words anymore, the co-author didn't just say it casually, she really thought so.

She remembered that she had praised it before, but now she somewhat regrets it.

Fang Zhuo talked eloquently: "Really, I didn't lie to you. The hardware modules are all the best. M1 is purchased globally. Don't think it is expensive, but think about why it is expensive and whether it is worth it."

"How many years has Sony been a famous brand company, and this can support their high-end machines." Su Wei frowned worriedly.

"So, we can only use the development of the times to confront them." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Guahao.com is the combination of the Internet and medical pre-diagnosis, and M1 is the combination of the Internet and music. Both are the future of the times. You have to make M1 with the heart of a registered network.”

Zhou Xin lowered his head, groaned and groaned for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I still want to be a registration network."

As soon as the technical director's words came out, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little stagnant.

Fang Zhuo pondered for a while, then tapped the table with his fingers: "Registration network can be done, but the Internet is very vast, it's good to take a look outside at the right time."

Zhou Xin mumbled and said nothing.

Yu Hong changed the subject, stopped talking about M1, and deliberately picked some funny things.

Su Wei chimed in with interest, and the atmosphere at the dinner table slowly became active again.

After the meal was over, Yu Hong took advantage of Zhou Xin to go to the side to buy a laptop accessory, and Fang Zhuo said, "Boss Fang, Director Zhou doesn't want to go with you to another battlefield, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, give him time." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I don't know if there is a management team like ours in the world. Although the flowers are blooming, they always think of green and dark red."

He patted Yu Hong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing for young people to have a fire in their hearts. I have a solution."

Yu Hong slapped Fang Zhuo's hand away: "Are you trying to plot against your employees again?"

"Calculation is not a derogatory term. Knowing what you want to do is very valuable." Fang Zhuo began to feel drunk again in his words.

……

After a brief chat, Fang Zhuo promoted three marketing managers within Guahao.com to deal with the expansion of the market. At the same time, he also began to think about how to sell the M1 music player.

Unlike Guahao.com, which can rely on administrative power to develop, players must rely on market capabilities.

Two days later, Fang Zhuo suddenly received a call from CCTV producer Hu Meng.

"Mr. Fang, the top 12 of "Win in China" will start recording next week, have you not forgotten?"

Fang Zhuo remembered such a thing the moment he received the call, and said with a smile: "How could I forget it? For our show, I have made several machines. Uh, can you bring machines to your show? ? Or is it all about your mouth?"

Hu Meng: "..."

Why does this sound a bit like sarcasm?

She patiently replied: "What kind of machine? Big ones won't work."

"Exactly, my machine is mainly compact." Fang Zhuo laughed.

Hu Meng agreed: "That's fine, don't go too far."

"Hey, your show has already aired, right? Then I'll study it, so as not to make a fool of myself." Fang Zhuo expressed a humble and studious attitude.

call ended.

Fang Zhuo asked Xu Keden to quickly make a beautiful casing for the M1 prototype while asking someone to find the "Win in China" program broadcast by CCTV Finance and Economics.

This has to be brought out to meet people first, regardless of whether it is functional or not, the first impression is very important.

In this wave, how much advertising and marketing costs will be saved by using the machine to go to CCTV.

　The New Year is approaching, two days a drink, I was thinking of saving the manuscript...
