Our Rise Era

Chapter 223: Mr. Zhang! When will you release [Wheat 3]!
The last month of 2011.

This is a historic month for China's entire photovoltaic new energy industry!

The day after Zhang Yang announced the [2.0 Cooperation Plan]...

With Suzhou as the center and spreading to surrounding cities, a number of [Photovoltaic Cooperation Consultation Points] have emerged.

The service staff of [Photovoltaic Cooperation Consulting Shop] provides a variety of services.

There are popularization [photovoltaic system services], and there are [photovoltaic entrepreneurship services]...

As long as you have an entrepreneurial idea and have similar experience before, after passing the preliminary review, a specialist will start a two-day [Photovoltaic Business] training...

After the training, you will be arranged to join [Xiaomi New Energy], [Zhenjiang Technology], [Songxiang Photovoltaic] and other technology companies for internships as soon as possible...

There are many internship projects...

From the production of photovoltaic raw materials and the operation of machines, to business, to on-site system installation, to final commissioning...

During the internship, a formal job salary will be given!

If everything is qualified during this period!
Then, the staff of [Xiaomi New Energy] will assist in the business expansion and conduct entrepreneurial project analysis based on the business needs of [Xiaomi New Energy] and the wishes of the entrepreneurs...

Finally, a strategic cooperation agreement was signed.

This strategic cooperation agreement does not have any other requirements except the priority cooperation rights!

……

In a sense, as long as you want to start a business, they will give you the business plan, the raw materials, and even a part of the market...

It's like pie in the sky...

The first batch of photovoltaic practitioners were shocked!

They all produced a kind of...

Is it an illusion that Zhang Yang has lost his mind?
……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was January 2012.

The snow in 2012 fell later than in previous years, and in many parts of China there was no snow at all.

……

The anti-dumping and countervailing investigations by Europe and the United States are still in full swing, and various tariff sticks have already forced Chinese companies into a desperate situation.

In such a desperate situation, [Zhenjiang Technology] and [Songxiang Technology] gradually withdrew from Europe and the United States...

But this time leave.

But it is not destruction, but a rebirth!
.........

"Fuck! When did Africa have so many solar panels?"

"Mr. Zhang had already started planning for the African market when the European and American markets were booming..."

"He has been keeping the flame of China's photovoltaic industry alive..."

"..."

When the first batch of entrepreneurs who cooperated with [Xiaomi New Energy] went to [Lion New Energy Group] in Africa and gradually became familiar with Africa's photovoltaic new energy...

They were suddenly shocked to discover!
Although Africa is extremely poor, backward, dry and chaotic...

However, the photovoltaic industry is not as barren as they imagined. On the contrary, it seems that small photovoltaic panels have a high penetration rate.

Their first stop was the Nigerian city of Abuja.

The person in charge of the [Lion New Energy Group] here is named Lin Jiang.

These entrepreneurs are no strangers to Lin Jiang.

This person has been working under Zhang Yang since 07, when they were running the instant noodle business.

It seems that he came to Africa in 09 and has been stationed in Africa ever since, responsible for the [Lion New Energy] business.

"Initially, we just wanted to charge [mobile phones], so we built a simple [charging station] with photovoltaic charging panels..."

"But, as our [Lion 1] mobile phone has expanded its market in Africa over the past two years and has been recognized by more and more users... the demand for charging stations has gradually increased, and our business has also begun to expand..."

"It started in Abuja, Nigeria, and then spread to the periphery of Nigeria's central cities, and then to the surrounding second- and third-tier cities, and even to villages and towns..."

“The market prospects here are very huge!”

"What we need most now is a group of entrepreneurs who are willing to endure hardships and help us assemble... Of course, we will give them more compensation..."

"We have already conquered the first batch of markets, but we need more people to help us stabilize the market. I think this is also the reason why Mr. Zhang invited you to come and visit and cooperate..."

"..."

Under the leadership of Lin Jiang, the entrepreneurs...

We took a tour around the towns surrounding Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

They found that there were many [Lion] charging stations in the city, but there were still many people queuing in front of the [Lion] charging stations...

At the same time, advertisements for [Lion Mobile Phone] were everywhere...

Electric poles, doorways of every household, tricycles, electric vehicles, and even some rocks in the wilderness were all spray-painted with advertisements for the [Lion 1] mobile phone!

……

Looking at the advertisements one by one, some people were shocked!
"Our mobile phones were the first batch to enter Africa. After the first batch, our photovoltaic charging stations were the second batch..."

"At present, our [Lion Mobile Phone] has business dealings in 23 countries in Africa..."

"..."

After listening to Lin Jiang's introduction...

Several people looked at Lin Jiang subconsciously.

"Boss Lin, how many units have we sold in Africa? Why do we feel like the sales are going crazy?"

When Lin Jiang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but he did not respond directly. Instead, he continued to lead this group of entrepreneurs towards the charging station in front.

……

January 2012, 1. The ninth day of the first lunar month.

Just when everyone is celebrating the New Year...

A piece of news from Africa spread to the entire mobile phone circle in China.

The mobile phone brand [Lion] founded by Zhang Yang in Africa announced for the first time its sales in Africa in the past year.

After seeing this sales...

The entire mobile phone industry in China was shocked!
................................................

"My grass!"

"Tell me this isn't true!"

"In 2011, in just one year, 1500 million Lion phones were sold in Africa?"

"Africa, that's Africa, Africa, my god, can the African market sell 1500 million units?"

"Is Zhang Yang a god?"

"..."

【【Lion Group】released its 2011 Africa financial report. In the past year, 【Lion Mobile Phone】 and its cooperation 【domestic mobile phones】 sold 1500 million units in Africa, with a net profit exceeding 15 billion! 】

When this news...

When it was announced in [China Technology Circle], countless netizens were shocked!

They repeatedly confirmed that the number was 1500 million.

They looked at the unfamiliar name "Lion Group" and searched for information desperately, and found that "Lion Group" was actually a mobile phone company registered in 08...

That year, Zhang Yang, who had just released [Wheat 1], was surrounded and suppressed, and eventually disappeared...

That year, Zhang Yang seemed to have signed a black athlete, and then I heard that part of the industry had been transferred to Africa, and then disappeared...

……

But, they never dreamed...

In Africa, Zhang Yang actually made a name for himself with those "copycat phones" that had long been strangled!
In 2009, the net profit was 3.2 million.

In 2010, the net profit was 7.5 million...

In 2011, the net profit was 15 million...

……

Some people started to check the profit amount of [Lion Mobile] in the past three years!
They were surprised to find that since 2009, the profits of [Lion Mobile] have increased exponentially...

It seems that there is a silent overseas mobile phone giant that is quietly rising!

but!

After a series of news broke out in the mobile phone industry...

More and more people have begun to pay attention to [Xiaomi 3] on major social media.

....................................

"Mr. Zhang, we know that your mobile phones are selling very well in Africa, but when will our [Xiaomi 3] be available?"

"Mr. Zhang, other mobile phones are released once a year. Mr. Zhang, have you seen the iPhone 4S?"

"Last year, the iPhone brand sold nearly 4999 million units at 2400 yuan in one year. Looking at this market, Mr. Zhang, aren't you tempted? With just one word from you, I believe it won't be difficult for [Xiaomi 3] to break 2000 million units and compete with iPhone 4..."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, please give me a definite answer on when you will release it!"

"boss Zhang……"

"..."

January.

perhaps……

[Lion Mobile] released its financial report, which became a fuse...

Immediately afterwards, the fuse exploded!

As long as Zhang Yang walks out of the company...

Zhang Yang will be surrounded by countless media immediately...

No matter what event Zhang Yang attends or what he does...

In public, people would look at Zhang Yang excitedly, asking when the [Xiaomi 3] phone would appear...

Even the words [Xiaomi 3] have become a hot search in major media outlets.

But Zhang Yang’s response was always simple.

"【Wheat 3】will be available, but there is no specific date for its release yet..."

"You can consider other domestic mobile phones. I think the phone that Shengxing just released is very good. The key is that it is a thousand-yuan phone..."

"In fact, you don't have to support us [Xiaomi], it's the same if you support [Shengxing] mobile phones. We are brother companies..."

"..."

Not only did Zhang Yang not announce when his [Xiaomi 3] would be released, but he even advertised the newly released [Shengxing X1] smartphone in public, which was incredible to everyone...

When Zhang Yang said this at first, everyone thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously.

but……

On an ordinary night in February, a staff member from the technical department of [Xiaomi Technology] was having a party with friends. After getting drunk, he "accidentally" revealed that "the [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone seems to be profitable, but it is actually losing money for some reasons. Mr. Zhang lost a lot of money alone... The only capital behind [Xiaomi Technology] is Mr. Zhang himself. The capital tried to bribe Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang refused with the attitude that he wanted to make his own mobile phone and he didn't want to increase the price. Therefore, [Xiaomi 2] may be a long way off. The capital does not allow [Xiaomi 3] to be listed. In the future, there will be no mobile phone with such a high cost performance as [Xiaomi 3]." Later...

The entire Chinese mobile phone industry was blown away!

Then, all kinds of revelations that shocked Zhang Yang appeared out of nowhere...

Appeared on the Internet...
