Chapter 1337 The monks who go to sea can chant sutras
Factions are invisible and intangible, yet they truly exist, which is unavoidable. Expecting that there are no factions within Dongling High-Tech is simply wishful thinking.

Even Li Dashan wouldn't dare say that there are no factions or cliques within Dongling High-Tech.

As long as these factions and cliques don't engage in factionalism and infighting for no reason, and don't attack each other fiercely, and don't fight amongst themselves for the sake of fighting, Li the Great Philanthropist will basically turn a blind eye.

Guan Zhenming was one of Zhang Ao's generals. Back in Guangdong Province, he fought alongside Zhang Ao and opened the door to the Guangdong electronics market.

In those years, in order to enter the markets of various parts of Guangdong Province, major electronics brands sent out ground promotion teams, and these teams competed fiercely with each other.

Sometimes, it even requires physical force; the market is truly fought for with every sword and spear. Guan Zhenming's appointment as the general manager of Dongling High-Tech's Guangdong Provincial Marketing Department was a testament to his outstanding contributions.

Guan Zhenming's appointment as general manager of Chitu Electric Bicycles means that, to a certain extent, Chitu is considered the core of Dongling High-Tech's marketing department.

After Chitu Company was established, a group of people were promoted from the marketing department to senior management positions. Those who were essentially in the marketing department all benefited from this.

The bond between Chitu Company and the marketing department is deeper than outsiders imagine.

The headquarters of Dongling High-Tech can cover the expenses for preparing the ground promotion team on behalf of Chitu Company.

However, the commissions and bonuses of the on-the-ground sales team are paid to the team members for each AnDian charging station built in the community or each ChiTu electric bicycle sold.

Otherwise, if they were only earning a basic salary, which salesperson would risk the dangers of surgery or even violence to do promotions?
For field sales personnel, risks and opportunities to make money coexist. As long as you have sales experience and are willing to humble yourself, and as long as you learn field sales techniques and can close your first deal, you may earn more in a month than others earn in a year!

Previously, Dongling Hi-Tech offered generous commissions to its sales representatives when promoting products such as Shenzhou digital cordless phones and Ruyan e-cigarettes, and these sales representatives did not disappoint.

Those on-the-ground sales promoters earn in a few months what others earn in ten years, and some even become millionaires!

It is precisely because of the incentive of huge commissions and the promise of earning ten years' worth of money in one year that the ground sales team can unleash amazing potential and take on the risk of risking their lives. Shouldn't they be the ones to earn this money?

Therefore, Chitu Company definitely needs to offer substantial commissions to its ground sales personnel, and this responsibility can only be borne by Chitu Company.

"The promotion of Chitu's charging stations and electric bicycles must be swift and decisive. We must promote them in big cities and rural towns as quickly as possible, without any delays!"
If this is delayed any longer, things could get complicated later!

Li Dongling instructed Guan Zhenming that, strictly speaking, the early electric bicycles were not technologically advanced. Otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn't have seen dozens or even hundreds of brands emerge overnight after electric bicycles became a hot trend.

Dongling Hi-Tech is one of the most watched technology companies in China and even overseas. Many people are scrutinizing Dongling Hi-Tech with a magnifying glass.

Once it's clear that electric bicycles are a hot trend, a whole host of companies will likely spring up in an instant, rushing into this new arena to grab a share of the market.

At that time, the entire industry will become a mixed bag, and Chitu must gain a significant advantage before this situation arises, and seize the market and users.

It's important to understand that Li Dashan's expectations for Chitu are not just to make it the number one electric bicycle brand in China; the overseas market is the real goal!
In the domestic electric bicycle market, Chitu can at most give it a chance to practice, but given the domestic environment, a price war will definitely break out, and profits will certainly not be high.

If you really want to make money, you probably have to go to the overseas market. Use electric bicycles, electric tricycles, etc., to fleece foreign customers. Everything is better when it comes from abroad. As long as it goes overseas, the price will skyrocket.

Just like electric cars in the past, BYD's models, if you call them ride-hailing vehicles in China, they won't mind.

But once abroad, the status changes immediately. In Brazil, an electric car that sells for around 100,000 yuan in China can be sold for nearly 350,000 yuan.

In the UAE, the Philippines, Singapore, and even in older Europe, the prices are also at the level of luxury cars, often starting at 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

Local young people are proud to own a luxury imported electric car. If their parents give them such a car for their birthday, they will be moved to tears and remember it for a lifetime.

What? Once something becomes imported, it suddenly seems much more high-end. This is a standard practice worldwide...

Rather than letting Chitu get caught up in a price war in the domestic market, it would be better to let it go overseas as soon as possible, so that overseas users can also solve the last-mile travel problem.

Li Dashanren absolutely refused to believe that the cattle and horses in places like South Korea, Japan, Singapore, America, North America, and old Europe would be unwilling to accept this thing.

Unless your workplace is too far from your residence, you can only take the subway or a crowded bus, or drive yourself.

Otherwise, if given a choice, and if the workplace were not far from home, Li Dashan would not believe that there would be any oxen or horses. After a long day of being a beast of burden at the company, exhausted, he would insist on riding a bicycle home, calling it exercise, rather than riding an electric scooter.

Anyone who boasts that foreign laborers ride bicycles for exercise after get off work, and then says this in front of them, will likely be exposed. Electric scooters haven't taken off abroad for two reasons: firstly, they're not allowed there; the process of obtaining a driver's license, registering the vehicle, and buying insurance is cumbersome and expensive. Add to that the soaring electricity prices in winter, and many locals are deterred.

Another reason, well, is the security situation and the zero-dollar purchase policy. If a small electric scooter dares to leave your sight, it will probably be nothing but a shell after ten minutes, with the battery gone.

Aside from these, no one can resist the electric scooter that solves the problem of short-distance transportation!
People are all the same; laziness is human nature. It's impossible that people in China like to use this thing for transportation, while people overseas prefer to use bicycles for exercise...

"Chitu's vision cannot be limited to the domestic market. Wherever there are people, there is a demand for Chitu electric bicycles!"

"If there is no demand, then create demand. In the future, overseas markets should be Chitu's most important markets."

Chitu cannot afford to waste time competing with other brands in the domestic market. After gaining an advantage in the domestic market, it should then target overseas markets.

Furthermore, Chitu's product line needs to be expanded. They can try venturing into areas such as electric bicycles, electric-assisted bicycles, electric tricycles, electric wheelchairs, and electric motorcycles. There's bound to be at least one product suitable for the local overseas market.

Li Dongling said to Guan Zhenming that what Chitu needed to do was to launch a blitzkrieg, to complete the expansion with lightning speed.

"Yes!"

With Li Dongling's support, Guan Zhenming responded excitedly.

Li Dongling has essentially given him sufficient authority, and Dongling High-Tech will also provide Chitu with ample support. What Guan Zhenming needs to do next is to make a big splash.

How far he can go depends on his abilities. If he fails this time, he may not have the same opportunity next time. It's even uncertain whether he can still be in his current position.

"I can guarantee that the Chitu electric bicycle will officially go on sale next month!"

"We aim to sell over 100,000 Chitu electric bicycles in our first batch!"

Guan Zhenming made a pledge to Li Dashan, predicting that Chitu electric bicycles would sell 100,000 units.

This scale is already quite large. After all, electric bicycles are a product that has never appeared before. Whether users will accept them, and how many users will accept them, are still unknowns.

Li Dongling shook his head and uttered two words, "Not enough!"

"Within three years at most, I want the annual sales volume of Chitu electric bicycles to exceed one million units!"

The domestic electric bicycle market alone is expected to reach hundreds of millions of units in the future, and the scale will be even larger when overseas markets are included.

This is a market that will not be filled even in the next twenty years. If Chitu electric bicycles cannot produce more than ten million units per year, they will not be able to capture much market share.

Upon hearing Li Dongling's gaze upon Chitu, Guan Zhenming couldn't help but gasp. This benevolent Li had essentially multiplied Chitu's target tenfold.

However, despite the pressure, Guan Zhenming could also sense that Li Dongling was genuinely optimistic about the electric bicycle market; otherwise, he wouldn't have set such a target for Chitu.

If Chitu can achieve the goal set by Li Dongling and break through the annual production capacity of one million vehicles, then Chitu's revenue may exceed two to three billion RMB!
Such revenue is still insufficient within the Dongke Group; companies like Feiyan Technology, Focus Media, and Dongfang Optoelectronics can easily surpass Chitu.

However, this is within Dongke, a company within the Dongke Group. You can't generalize based on the past. If you take one of them out, they would probably be quite capable outside.

Compared to other companies, Chitu's revenue is already at the level of a giant. If it were located in Shandong Province, as long as it doesn't mess with those state-owned enterprises like the "eldest son of Shandong," it would be perfectly acceptable to say that it can do whatever it wants!
Thinking of this, Guan Zhenming felt a surge of excitement. If Red Hare could sell well, his position within Dongke would rise several places.

After Guan Zhenming left, Li Dongling looked up and saw that it was already dark outside.

Li Dongling formally signed his name on the Chitu documents left by Guan Zhenming, agreeing to Chitu Company's plan.

Li Dongling was quite optimistic about Chitu Company. It had the potential to become a cash cow, and a very fat one at that. It might not be as high-profile as the automotive industry, but it definitely deserved the title of "making a fortune quietly."
Chitu is quite important to Dongling High-Tech. If it succeeds, it can drive the development of Kunpeng power batteries and provide sufficient funding for the automotive sector.

The latter is the key. Of course, it would be even better if it could also provide a certain amount of cash flow to the headquarters of Dongling High-Tech every year.

Even in the future, AnDian Technology, a subsidiary of Chitu, might have its own opportunities...
