Our Rise Era

Chapter 233: Eating and ruining the pot!

June.

Hot like a flame.

When an order of nearly 300 million units was placed on Xu Yunlong's desk.

Xu Yunlong stayed up all night and smoked countless packs of cigarettes.

Countless emotions rushed through his heart.

There were surprise, uneasiness, and tension. It was more like a heavy burden was pressing on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

【Wheat 3】 is different from 【Wheat 2】.

[Xiaomi 2] has spare machines.

As for [Xiaomi 3], even at the moment of the press conference, there were only spare units.

Two years of stagnation.

The cooperative factories naturally need to eat.

Either they give the production line to other brands and then sign a new cooperation agreement when it is restarted.

Either spend money to provide the most basic security for each employee, continue to maintain their own production lines and production capacity, and survive for two years...

……

Of course, for Wheat Technology, there is a third way.

In the mobile phone field, in addition to the [Wheat] series of mobile phones, they also have the African [Lion 1] series of mobile phones.

During the two-year vacuum period, Xu Yunlong anxiously reduced the production capacity of the "Xiaomi" series of mobile phones for a short period of time, and the strategic direction was mainly to export the African copycat phone project...

With the successful development of the African market, the factory's production capacity was maintained.

When deciding to release "Wheat 3", Xu Yunlong even expanded the production capacity.

but……

No one would have thought of it!
The sales volume of [Wheat 3] in just over a month has increased several times compared to [Wheat 2]!
....................................

"Boss Li, the production capacity of African Lion has exploded. The Lion 2 mobile phone is in short supply. We can no longer give the production line to Wheat 3. If we continue to give it to Africa, we will not be able to supply the products!"

"How is the expansion of the factory in Sichuan Province going?"

"We have expanded, but it will take time to recruit people and train them. We can't start production right away..."

"Where is our own factory? Where is Pengcheng?"

"The production line here is almost smoking. The workers are now working in three shifts, but the orders are still piling up... I have received another order for 100 million units from Africa!"

"We signed an agreement with the Samsung factory a few days ago. Doesn't that mean it can start production?"

"Yes, but it's far from enough! It's July now, and we have sold nearly 1200 million mobile phones in Africa, which is equivalent to last year's sales in 10 months. Samsung's factory currently produces high-end products, but our low-end products are still not enough!"

"..."

7 month 1 day.

The sun is blazing in the office.

Even though the air conditioner was on, Xu Yunlong's forehead was still covered in sweat.

He answered call after call.

Every phone call made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and at one point he felt like his head was going to explode.

He stared at the latest order on the table.

January.

As Lin Jiang won orders from one country after another in Africa.

Africa's [Lion 2] mobile phone suddenly became popular!

In just half a year, we received an astonishing order of nearly 1200 million units!
In June alone, more than 6 million units were sold!
You know, last year, only 1500 million mobile phones were sold throughout the year. This year, judging from the explosive growth in orders, the number is already heading towards 2000 million!
Xu Yunlong never thought that Africa would explode like this this year, and he had no corresponding plan at all. As the delivery date got closer and closer, the Lion Company was urging more and more people to deliver the goods...

At one point Xu Yunlong felt like he was going crazy!

"Mr. Xu, how about we skip some of the tests and export directly?"

Just when Xu Yunlong was desperately looking for cooperative production capacity, the vice president next to him, who was once the production director of [Xia Li Mobile Phones], made a suggestion.

When Xu Yunlong heard this, he was stunned: "What did you say?"

"Whether it's the Lion 1 or the Wheat phone, we have strict testing standards before the phones leave the factory. But in fact, in the current market, our testing standards are even on par with the iPhone series of phones. However, we only sell them for 1999 yuan. Moreover, the profit margin of those phones in Africa is only more than 50 yuan... If we change the corresponding factory standards, we can not only double our profits, but also increase our production capacity... This..."

"..."

The sun shines on Xu Yunlong's face.

Xu Yunlong looked at the vice president with uncertain eyes. He took a deep breath and finally gritted his teeth: "I would rather the production capacity cannot keep up, and I will find a way, but we must not lower the standards! What we do is brand, brand, brand!"

"As for the lions in Africa, in fact, those African guys don't have any requirements for the brand at all. As long as it has complete functions and can take pictures... When we were making copycat phones, we didn't have so many things to worry about..."

"Same!"

Xu Yunlong almost squeezed these three words out from between his teeth!
He stared at the vice president with a cold look in his eyes. "Boss Zhang has entrusted me with the entire production and quality control. It is a responsibility. We can be slow, but we must set high standards. If I find anyone pretending to obey, I will send him directly to jail!"

It was the first time that the vice president saw Xu Yunlong with such an expression. He shuddered and then nodded quickly.

"That……"

"Don't worry! I'll take care of the production capacity! Go ahead and do your work. I'll say it again, you have to keep a close eye on the quality!"

"I see!"

"..."

After the vice president left, Xu Yunlong finally called Zhang Yang.

“We can increase the unit price!”

"Add unit price?"

"Yes, the unit price of [Xiaomi 3] and [Lion] series mobile phones can be raised a bit, but the quality must be guaranteed. A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole, so we must not be careless!"

"No problem, then I..."

"In a word, take the money and go find a cooperative manufacturer!"

"Row!"

"Then... can I find another..." "You don't have to think about other brands. It doesn't matter if the cat is white or black, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!"

"Row."

"I'll go with you to discuss cooperation. We'll split up into two groups!"

"you also……"

"Yes!"

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

"Mr. Davis, our [Novia Lumia 625] Huaxia factory has signed a cooperation agreement with Zhang Yang. Part of the production capacity of our [Novia Lumia 625] factory has been transferred to [Xiaomi 3]!"

"Didn't I tell you to keep the production line? How could they do this? Damn, these dishonest guys!"

"Mr. Davis, the factory also needs to make a living. The subsidies we give to the factory to maintain the production line are not enough in their eyes! Mr. Davis, how is the headquarters now?"

"..."

7 month 2 day.

【Novia】China Headquarters.

The Novia Lumia 625 mobile phone, which once had great ambitions to regain the Chinese market, only sold 26 units in the whole month of June!

Suffered an unprecedented defeat...

……

If we lose control over mid- and low-end mobile phones, then the entire [Novia] will completely lose its voice in the era of smart phones!

After losing the right to speak!
It is the end of an era. Davis in the Greater China area has been feeling uneasy almost every day during this period.

He even had a very bad premonition!

At this moment!

While [Xiaomi 3] is seizing the mid-range market, [Novia Lumia 625] has been squeezed into a corner!

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of life and death.

However, the infighting at the Dutch headquarters is still going on.

The [Symbian] system and [Microsoft] system factions are still arguing...

As the internal divisions intensified, Davis in the Greater China region received orders that changed from one day to the next more than once.

……

Davis took the documents handed to him by his assistant.

He saw in the file...

The Ganzhou factory had just signed a cooperation agreement with Zhang Yang yesterday. About 3% of the production lines were converted to produce [Xiaomi ] mobile phones...

The factory in Pengcheng just signed an agreement with Zhang Yang for [Wheat 3]...

Even some low-end Chinese cooperative manufacturers have shifted their attention to the "Lion" series of mobile phones in Africa!

……

After watching the factories sign the agreement one by one.

He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The headquarters had not issued a compensation plan at all!
..............................

"crazy!"

"Totally crazy!"

“I saw some Samsung production lines with the phone labels of [Xiaomi 3]!”

"Our [Novia] production line has also been labeled [Wheat 3]..."

"Oh my god, you only have part of the production line. In our Sichuan factory, except for the [LG] logo, all the products inside are [Wheat 3]!"

"..."

mid-December.

With the announcement that the sales of [Xiaomi 3] exceeded 350 million units, and only 40 units were delivered...

The entire Chinese mobile phone industry is in an uproar!
Overnight!

From Samsung to Novia's Chinese partner factories, all of them have seen the appearance of the Wheat 3 mobile phone.

In fact...

Not only Samsung and Novia, but even LG, Sharp, Motorola and other well-known brand factory gates have seen countless Wheat 3 salesmen appear overnight.

Some people even saw Zhang Yang personally visit the bosses of these companies' partner factories and sign production order agreements with them at very generous prices...

……

By the beginning of August, as the newly added factories began to open up their production capacity, the final delivery volume began to increase rapidly, with sales exceeding 8 million and deliveries finally breaking 470 million!

And at this moment, everyone suddenly realized one thing!

That is……

In just three months!
The Chinese mobile phone brands that were once at their peak...

It's as if he disappeared from the stage of history overnight!
……

"damn it!"

"What is this person doing!?"

"They have taken away all our factories!"

“How can we produce now?”

"what?"

"Zhang Yang is leading the team personally and starting to poach our technical staff?"

"Oh shit!"

"It's ok to smash the bowl when eating, but you smashed the pot, what are we going to eat?"
