Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1265 The ancient routine has won the hearts of the people

Transsion phones, to put it simply, take an unconventional approach, sacrificing certain performance aspects to enhance specific needs.

For example, the volume is very loud. Well, the only advantage is that it's loud when playing music. It can also make calls and send text messages, but that's about it. Don't expect any other functions.

If this phone's performance reaches the level of mainstream phones, but its price is only one-fifth of that of mainstream phones, is that realistic?
Even scammers wouldn't dare to boast like that. It's like a telepathic message from a past life, sounding like it's wreaking havoc in Africa, but has it even entered the domestic, European, or American markets? Is it because it doesn't want to enter?
The answer is obvious: it maintains the basic functions while enhancing some special features, such as long standby time, powerful beautification function, loud speaker volume, etc. In other aspects, it is definitely inferior to mainstream mobile phones. That mobile phone chip locks the upper limit of the phone.

When major brands all set their sights on the African mobile phone market, Transsion's old approach became less viable.

In its previous life, when Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers were aggressively attacking the African market, Transsion had no choice but to upgrade its processors, add various new features, and even start to enable users to play large-scale mobile games, watch movies on their phones, and install high-definition cameras on their phones. As a result, costs began to soar, and the phones became increasingly expensive.

Left with no other choice, Transsion opened up a new battlefield by selling electric tricycles in various African countries, which shows its predicament.

But now, Transsion, which is in the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech, doesn't need to fight against Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and others in the future. It only needs to take advantage of Nokia's lack of reaction to launch a surprise attack on markets in South America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, cutting off Nokia's escape route!
"The launch of Transsion phones by the mobile phone division is not just for selling handsets. Similarly, Transsion's entry into South America, Africa and other regions is aimed at establishing an electronic sales and distribution system."

These regions, due to economic and other reasons, are very different from other markets and do not have large chain stores or the like.

When Transsion enters these regions, in addition to traditional shopping malls and electronics retail stores, it may have to rely on local supermarkets and even small shops. Transsion needs to develop these into agents and distributors.

"Let these supermarkets and small shops also participate in Transsion's sales system. They can get a commission for every phone they sell!"

In South America, Africa, and other places, there are no large shopping malls or professional electronics retail stores at all. The old methods are no longer working, so we have to find new ways.

After all, money is a powerful motivator. When the commission from selling a mobile phone can bring in a day's or even several days' worth of revenue for a local small supermarket, these supermarkets naturally start to work hard to promote and sell Transsion mobile phones.

"In addition to sales channels, after-sales and repair channels also need to be established. This after-sales system can not only be used by Transsion, but also by other Dongling High-Tech products when needed!"

Li Dongling said that it would definitely not be a waste to help Transsion build a sales and after-sales system in South America, Africa and other places.

Once this system is established, Dongling Hi-Tech's products can be sold there continuously.

Regardless of how much money can be made in these regions, as long as the shipment volume is large enough, and the Dongling High-Tech parts supply chain companies can be supported while breaking even, that's enough!

Zhu Zhaojiang felt the pressure of being the manager of the mobile phone marketing department. The greater the power, the greater the pressure. This position had great power, but it also brought enormous pressure.

Next, Zhu Zhaojiang will lead the mobile phone division of Dongling High-Tech to compete head-on with Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Samsung, Sony, and others. He will also launch a new mobile phone brand to seize markets in South America and Africa, and establish sales and after-sales systems in these regions.

All of this work combined will probably keep Zhu Zhaojiang busy for several years.

However, the opportunity is also in Zhu Zhaojiang's hands. Although the pressure is great, Zhu Zhaojiang can also get the support of the entire Dongling High-Tech human resources, material resources and resources.

If he can withstand the pressure, he will receive a huge reward. Look at the power of Nokia's current president, Ollila. If Shenzhou Mobile and Nokia are ever on equal footing, who would dare say that Zhu Zhaojiang's power is not as great as Ollila's?

……

"Dongling Hi-Tech announced that it will reorganize its mobile phone business into an independently operated Shenzhou Mobile Phone Business Unit, with Zhu Zhaojiang serving as the first general manager of the mobile phone department!"

The news that Dongling Hi-Tech had announced the formation of a mobile phone division spread quickly. Seeing Dongling Hi-Tech's move, the entire mobile phone industry understood that Dongling Hi-Tech was preparing to make a big splash in the mobile phone industry!

After all, there are precedents for this. Look at Feiyan Technology, which is listed on Nasdaq. Feiyan Technology is one of the most representative companies in the Dongke Group.

Originally spun off from Dongling High-Tech, it first became the largest radio manufacturer in China in terms of shipments, thanks to its mini radios and multi-functional emergency radios.

Then, they hyped up Himalaya FM's successful IPO on NASDAQ, making it one of the earliest companies to reap the benefits of the internet boom.

This year, thanks to MP3 players, it has shone brightly in the electronics industry and is now the highest-revenue and most representative internet company on Nasdaq.

Now, although Shenzhou's mobile phone business unit has not yet been separated from Dongling Hi-Tech, its attitude is very clear: Dongling Hi-Tech is determined to take a bite out of the mobile phone business!
However, this is just speculation from the outside world regarding Shenzhou's mobile phone division. Within Dongling Hi-Tech, the most discussed topic is the newly appointed mobile phone division manager, Zhu Zhaojiang.

A 28-year-old department manager at a Fortune 500 company, and not just any position, but a truly powerful one—this is extremely rare, even unparalleled, in the entire country, and even among the Fortune 500 companies worldwide.

After Shenzhou Global Communication announced for the second time that its sales exceeded 1.5 million units and its revenue exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars, the latest issue of Fortune magazine finally couldn't hold back any longer and listed Dongling High-Tech as one of the world's top 500 companies, ranking it 182nd on its first appearance on the list!

This is the first time that an overseas media ranking has included Dongling Hi-Tech, the first private company in mainland China, in the Fortune Global 500, and even placed it in the upper-middle range. However, the fact that Zhu Zhaojiang, at the age of 28, became a powerful department manager in a Fortune Global 500 company is even more shocking to those within Dongling Hi-Tech.

Those within Dongling Hi-Tech all know that once Zhu Zhaojiang takes this position, he has essentially achieved financial freedom; his net worth is simply a matter of how many digits are in his account.

Dongling High-Tech has always promoted the idea that those with ability should rise to the top, and has never followed the seniority system. The rise of Zhu Zhaojiang now proves that this propaganda is true!

Although most people know that Zhu Zhaojiang was able to get this position because he made great contributions during the Xiaolingtong era.

This time, with the launch of Shenzhou Global, he once again traveled overseas and secured a large number of orders for Shenzhou Global. This position is rightfully his.

However, Zhu Zhaojiang's rise to power gave countless people within Dongling Hi-Tech hope. They knew that the path to senior management was not blocked; it all depended on their own abilities.

……

The cold wind howls, the snow is cold, but when the ice and snow melt, the cold wind becomes even more biting.

However, while a cold wind was blowing outside, a wave of heat was emanating from inside the house, and a copper hot pot was boiling on the table.

"Old Zhou, you busy man, you're late. You'll have to drink three cups of wine as punishment!"

Zhou Zhengyang, the head of the Dongling High-Tech Disciplinary Committee, who is privately known as "Tiger Zhou" by many, pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard behind the Dongling High-Tech headquarters, where many people were already sitting.

The atmosphere inside changed immediately after Zhou Zhengyang entered. Hu Zixian stood up and pulled Zhou Zhengyang to sit down.

Since joining Dongling High-Tech, Zhou Zhengyang has almost never attended any banquets, regardless of whether they are hosted by professional managers or veterans.

No one from any department would dare to cause trouble, like a lamb entering a tiger's den, inviting Zhou Zhengyang to dinner. If someone is targeted by Zhou Zhengyang, they will either end up in jail and receive a free life for the rest of their life, or they will be fired and kicked out. Who would dare to hang around in front of him for no reason?

Zhou Zhengyang was basically a lone wolf at Dongling High-Tech. Today, he only came because of the celebration banquet for Zhu Zhaojiang and Li Dongling's personal invitation.

"it is good!"

After Zhou Zhengyang sat down, he responded and then downed three glasses of wine in a row.

"I never knew Old Zhou could hold his liquor so well!"

After Zhou Zhengyang finished his drink, Li Dongling spoke up, and the atmosphere became more lively.

Today's banquet was not held at Pingyang Grand Hotel, nor at Yuhe Leisure Resort, but at this small courtyard that I haven't visited in a long time.

"Let's drink to Zhao Jiang, and to Dongling High-Tech!"

Li Dongling raised his glass, and everyone at the table responded in unison, raising their glasses as well. Today, all the truly powerful figures at Dongling High-Tech headquarters were present.

Besides Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao, Gao Peng, and Gao Zhiyuan, who joined Dongling High-Tech earliest, other later recruits who were promoted include Su Chicheng of the Budget Management Committee, Zhou Zhengyang, the head of the Discipline Committee, Wei Taining, the head of the Automotive Department, and Zhu Zhaojiang, who was just promoted today. They form the most powerful power layer in the entire Dongling High-Tech.

Although Dongling Hi-Tech has been expanding its scale, with branches and offices established in various provinces across China and three major groups overseas, the people at today's banquet are the ones who will truly determine its fate.

"Mr. Li!"

Just as Li Dongling finished his drink, Chief Assistant Shen Xingyao walked in and whispered something to him.

After hearing this, Li Dongling made no attempt to hide anything and directly said to Shen Xingyao, "So what if Nakamura Takeo comes to Pingyang? Today's celebration banquet hosted by President Zhu is more important than Nakamura Takeo. Let him wait!"

Dongling High-Tech naturally received news of Nakamura Takeo's visit to Pingyang. Furthermore, Nakamura Takeo did not conceal his itinerary and even took the initiative to release the news, just waiting for Li Dashanren to visit him.

But Li Dongling's attitude was very clear: this hot pot feast to celebrate Zhu Zhaojiang's victory was more important than Nakamura Takeo!
Upon hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhu Zhaojiang's expression changed repeatedly. The philanthropist Li had actually made the president of the largest company by market capitalization in Japan wait for him at this celebration banquet. How important was he to Li Dongling, or was it Nakamura Takeo?
