Chapter 404: The advent of mobile phones
This New Year's Eve in Australia gave Gao Yuan and his family a novel experience.
It’s just that Gao’s father and mother were not able to adapt to life in Australia and after staying there for a few days, they started clamoring to return home.
After all, I'm used to living in China, and my relatives and friends are all in China. Although it's good to stay in Australia, I'm not that happy.
So on the third day of the New Year, Gao Yuan took his family back to China by plane.
On the fourth, fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year, the threshold of Gao's house was almost trampled down.
In Gao's father's words, it was the first time in his life that he knew his family had so many relatives.
These people all came with gifts, and it was not appropriate to hit a smiling person, so Gao's father couldn't turn away the relatives.
But with so many relatives, Gao's father was exhausted just by entertaining them.
So early in the morning on the seventh day of the New Year, Gao's father followed Gao Yuan to the city to get some some peace and quiet.
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the day to resume work.
Gao Yuan arrived at the company early with a stack of red envelopes in his hand.
Li Mengqing and Lin Wanyu stood beside Gao Yuan, smiling and welcoming the employees who returned to work.
"Look! President Gao is here at the company."
During this period, Gao Yuan rarely came to the company. As Yuanfang Group has grown to its current size, many people have never seen Gao Yuan.
"Oh my god, I came to the company last year and have been here for more than half a year, but I have never met President Gao. I didn't expect that President Gao would actually stand at the company gate to greet us today?"
"It's great, the workers are happy again, I'll record a video and upload it online later."
"..."
Many new employees who join Yuanfang Group have not yet come into contact with Gaoyuan.
They are just grassroots employees, and it is extremely difficult for them to meet the middle-level management, let alone meet the helmsman of Yuanfang Group.
Therefore, when they saw Gao Yuan standing at the gate to greet them, they all showed incredible expressions.
"Happy New Year!"
Gao Yuan distributed the red envelopes in his hand to his employees.
The amount in the red envelope was not much, only one thousand yuan, but it also represented Gao Yuan's thoughtfulness.
"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"
The employees who received the red envelopes were excited.
"Go ahead and work hard!"
Gao Yuan patted the employee on the shoulder.
The same thing happened to the next employee. As more and more employees came in, Gao Yuan gave out red envelopes at an increasingly faster rate.
Later, Li Mengqing and Lin Wanyu also helped distribute red envelopes.
It was around 9:30 in the morning that all the red envelopes were distributed.
The video of sending red envelopes was also uploaded to the Internet and quickly became popular.
Netizens were so envious and jealous.
"Fuck, when we work for other bosses, they treat us like cattle and horses, but when we work for Mr. Gao, he treats us like brothers! It's such a great honor for a billionaire boss to give red envelopes to his employees."
"No more talking, I also want to apply for Yuanfang Group."
"The brother above suggested that you look in the mirror. It's not that easy to get into Yuanfang Group. Do you have a 985 degree?"
"..."
Netizens are talking a lot.
Many students who are about to graduate have sent their resumes to Yuanfang Group.
At one time, Yuanfang Group received more than 100,000 resumes.
There are so many resumes, and the HR department would be exhausted even if they want to read them all.
This is true for all the big companies.
Therefore, the human resources department will generally check academic qualifications, which is the most effective way to screen resumes.
However, large companies like Yuanfang Group also have social recruitment, but social recruitment is more difficult and requires work experience in large companies and an excellent resume.
"You've become a hot topic now."
Lin Wanyu walked into Gao Yuan's office, put her mobile phone in front of Gao Yuan, and let Gao Yuan see the latest hot searches.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that just sending red envelopes to employees would become a hot topic." Gao Yuan said, "But this also shows from the side that most business owners are indeed a bit too much and don't even have the most basic concern for their employees."
Gao Yuan didn’t think he was doing very well, it was just that other bosses were doing very poorly.
"The HR department plans to improve the employee benefits framework and set up a major illness medical assistance fund within the company," Lin Wanyu said. "The specific approach is to take out 200 million yuan of funds, set up a fund pool, and have a dedicated person to operate the fund."
"If an employee in the company encounters a serious illness, they can apply to the relief fund, which will be reviewed and approved based on the level of the employee's illness and the employee's family situation."
“The approved amount ranges from 5,000 to 1 million.”
In other words, when an employee gets seriously ill, the medical insurance plus the subsidies from the company may not cost a penny.
"Okay, you'll be in charge of this. You can take the lead in setting up a separate department to handle this matter. Be sure to pay attention when approving it, and every penny must be spent wisely."
"Also, set up an anti-corruption department and let Li Mengqing manage it."
"Corruption within the group must be strictly investigated."
This situation exists in any large company, where the company's interests are sold out to gain huge wealth for themselves.
These people hold high positions and receive high salaries, but they are still not satisfied.
"Do the purchasing and sales departments need to be strictly checked?" Lin Wanyu asked.
"The purchasing department is the hardest hit area and must be strictly investigated. The sales department should be put on hold for a while." Gao Yuan thought for a moment and then made a decision.
The purchasing department and the sales department are the two most important departments in a company. They often deal with money, and kickbacks are common in the industry.
The sales department is related to the development of the company, so Gao Yuan thinks it’s nothing to take some kickbacks.
Gold medal salespeople can bring hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in sales to a company every year. The departure of any gold medal salesperson is a loss to the company.
This strict internal anti-corruption investigation also serves as a warning to others, so that people in the sales department will not go too far.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Lin Wanyu nodded.
……
In the afternoon, Li Wei arrived at the headquarters of Yuanfang Group, bringing with him the first mobile phone developed by Yuanfang Group.
"Mr. Gao, this is the Yuanfang mobile phone we developed internally."
Li Wei said, "There is another piece of information that I compiled by comparing other mobile phones."
Li Wei took out several popular mobile phones on the market for comparison.
First of all, there is the Apple mobile phone. Currently, the best-selling mobile phone in the world is the Apple mobile phone, and the market value of their company is close to 20 trillion RMB.
Next is the Warwick phone.
In the past two years, the sales volume of Huawei mobile phones in China has exceeded that of Apple mobile phones.
Their company's marketing methods are very good. They bundle the use of Warwick mobile phones with the support of national products and have accumulated a large number of users.
Ranked third in the market is the Xiaomi mobile phone released by Lei Jun.
In the past decade, Lei Jun first grabbed a large amount of low-end market with low-priced mobile phones, and then began to layout the high-end market. Unfortunately, their high-end mobile phones could never compete with Warwick mobile phones.
As for the remaining OPPO and vivo phones, both belong to the same boss. When smartphones first became popular, they occupied the mainstream of the domestic mobile phone market. However, their sales in recent years have been far lower than before.
In addition, there are many other mobile phones that have had a brief period of glory and then quickly declined.
While Gao Yuan was reading the information, Li Wei said, "Mr. Gao, the changes to Apple phones over the years have not been significant. It's like changing the soup but not the substance. They just changed the appearance of the phone and then released it. It doesn't have the epoch-making feeling it once had."
"I remember when the iPhone 4 was first released, it revolutionized the entire mobile phone industry. Some people who didn't have the money to buy an iPhone 4 actually sold their kidneys."
Gao Yuan nodded. He had experienced that era, and he knew that some people did crazy things just to buy an iPhone.
Once upon a time, you could show off your iPhone to people around you and satisfy your vanity.
Of course, the quality of Apple phones is also very strong.
Their system is so smooth that the background APP can refresh automatically.
There are also many shortcomings, such as poor signal and phone heating... Until now, Apple phones have not corrected these shortcomings.
Many netizens sarcastically said that an Apple phone, a telecom card and being in an elevator is equivalent to losing connection.
This is also the reason why netizens have been disgusted with Apple mobile phone signals for so many years.
"Apple phones have indeed been in poor performance in the past two years and are no longer as glorious as they once were. But you don't have to worry. The phones we produce are only for the domestic market. As for the overseas phone market, I have other plans," said Gao Yuan.
He also built a mobile phone factory in Australia and planned to produce Pi phones together with Musk.
This is the only way out. Who says that when domestic mobile phones enter foreign markets, they will encounter large-scale boycotts?
Only by borrowing Musk’s mobile phone case and then borrowing Musk’s identity and channels can the sales of Pi mobile phones be smooth.
The domestic market is a huge one with a population of over one billion, and this market must not be missed.
Moreover, China is still Gao Yuan’s base camp.
"That's good!" Li Wei nodded.
After hearing Gao Yuan's words, he felt relieved.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the courage to go to war with Apple phones now.
"Then let me talk about Huawei mobile phones." Li Wei said, "Huawei mobile phones accounted for 17% of the domestic market in the first quarter of this year. A total of 6770 million mobile phones were sold in the first quarter, and Huawei mobile phones sold 1170 million units, mainly Huawei's high-end mobile phones. Compared with last year, their sales have increased by about 70%. In the past two years, Huawei mobile phones were sanctioned by Western countries, but they quickly developed their own system and have been developing their own chip technology."
"The success of Huawei Mobile is inseparable from their long-term commitment to technology research and development and product innovation."
Warwick mobile phones are indeed very powerful. Even though they have suffered numerous attacks, they have continued to make great strides.
But Gao Yuan was not most concerned about this. He asked directly, "How does our mobile phone system compare to Huawei's?"
"Boss Gao, the truth may offend some people." Li Wei said with a smile, "I have carefully compared our mobile phone system with Huawei's mobile phone system. I feel that Huawei's system is not even one tenth as good as ours."
"But if we make this known, I'm afraid many netizens will criticize us, thinking that we are crazy about money and are stepping on Huawei Mobile to get ahead."
Li Wei’s analysis is correct.
The Internet doesn’t care about these things. Most netizens don’t understand the performance of mobile phones and just follow the trend.
So once the news comes out that Yuanfang mobile phones are ten times more powerful than Warwick mobile phone systems, those netizens will definitely turn their guns on them and start scolding.
"Don't mention this sentence when promoting the product," Gao Yuan said. "If a review blogger says this in a review later, we don't need to rush to explain it. Let the public opinion ferment."
"If no one is jealous, then you are mediocre. If no one scolds you, then it means our phone has failed."
Gao Yuan is very open-minded about this point.
Even if they cursed, it meant that they knew the distant phone, even the name of the distant phone.
In an invisible way, it is also equivalent to advertising for distant mobile phones.
Is black and red also red?
Once they truly realize how useful Yuanfang phones are, word of mouth will completely turn around.
"Okay, Mr. Gao."
Li Wei nodded and continued to comment on Xiaomi mobile phones. "Xiaomi mobile phones became popular first because they squeezed out some unknown brands of mobile phones and snatched the market share of those unknown brands of mobile phones."
"Today's Xiaomi phones still have many loyal fans, relying on Lei Jun's personal IP. However, Xiaomi phones are more like assembled machines. Among these phones, I think Xiaomi phones pose the least threat."
Hearing Li Wei's analysis, Gao Yuan frowned, "Your idea is wrong. Although Xiaomi phones are purely assembled machines, Mr. Lei is too powerful. You can never underestimate this man. His Lei's comparison method, which shocked China and the world, has given many entrepreneurs a headache."
"Product quality is important, but mobile phone marketing is more important. Mr. Lei is a natural marketing genius. Over the years, how many people have surpassed him in marketing? Even Da Dongzi personally admitted that you shouldn't compete with Mr. Lei in marketing."
When facing Lei Jun, you must never take it lightly.
"I see. But Xiaomi has CEO Lei, and we also have you." Li Wei said with a smile, "We are only responsible for producing and buying mobile phones. The specific marketing is still up to you. You and CEO Lei can compete against each other."
Li Wei threw this troublesome matter to Gao Yuan.
To be fair, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Li Wei also felt that his chances of winning against Lei Jun were very low.
Mr. Gao’s personal IP is very powerful now, so let him handle it.
"Hahaha, you just like to be cunning. Don't worry, I will pay more attention to the marketing matters." Gao Yuan said.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be comfortable letting Li Wei face off against Lei Jun.
After making a few jokes, Li Wei continued to analyze OPPO and vivo mobile phones.
"The boss behind these two phones is named Duan, and he immigrated overseas more than 20 years ago. When the smartphone era first began, his favorite thing to do was to open branches, and they opened two at a time."
"The competition between OPPO and vivo in terms of KPI is a very clever move. In just a few months, these two mobile phones have become famous. To this day, OPPO and vivo still have a huge fan base."
"In the low-end market, even Xiaomi's mobile phone sales sometimes lag behind them."
"One is not a big deal, but if two come together, we have to be careful." (End of this chapter)
