Sprinkle coins every day

Including a strong peripheral group of relatives and friends to help out.

On the second day, after the Internet public opinion was fully fermented, the pre-sale data of nearly 50 in a single day was the more realistic data, so Gu Mingzhang set the goal of [-] for the first week.

This is absolutely an astonishing achievement.

In my impression, the one who can achieve this record is Pingguo.

Take the Samsung s3 as an example, even with the word-of-mouth blessing of the previous s2, it was only 50 days after it went on sale that it reached one million units, which is still far from breaking [-] units in the first week.

Of course.

About a month later, when the first batch of pre-ordered users get the wheat grain x1 and actually use it, it will drive a new round of word-of-mouth fermentation, triggering the second pre-order peak.

Chinese people are used to paying attention to seeing is believing, and hearing is believing.

Even if it is an offline experience store, the experience time is too short, and the number of people who can experience it in the store is too small, which is not enough to really understand the full performance of Maili x1.

How can a fast-food-style hasty experience compare to playing from time to time?

For example, how is the battery life of the wheat grain x1, whether it will heat up after a long time of use, whether it will freeze or crash, etc., all of which need to be tested for a long time.

After all.

Deep down in the hearts of the Chinese people, they still have a little bit of confidence in the quality of domestic mobile phones.

This is understandable.

In particular, Maili is not only a brand-new brand, it has only been established for more than a year, and there is no solid word-of-mouth accumulated by the previous work. The quality of the game needs the test of time.

This is why.

Zhang Shuo would rather postpone the launch of Wheat X1, but also ensure that the pre-sale of Wheat X1 can be started immediately after the press conference, and the goods will be available in a week.

This is not only confidence in the quality of wheat grain x1, but also to shorten the "hesitation" time of consumers.

It can be said to be well-intentioned.

"According to the analysis of the marketing department, some of the reserved people are blessed with patriotism. Mr. Zhang, should we increase our publicity for this area?" Gu Mingzhang asked for instructions.

"Don't!"

Zhang Shuo's attitude has changed drastically, "We can't control what consumers think, but we must not fuel the flames behind the scenes, or even deliberately sell their feelings for profit."

Selling feelings is a double-edged sword in itself, and Zhang Shuo doesn't bother to do it.

It can be said that the original space-time Warwick has not only received dividends, but also received a lot of influence. While pleasing some people, it will definitely be disgusted by another group of people.

Totally unnecessary.

"Understood, I will personally supervise."

It was rare for Gu Mingzhang to see a big boss so serious, so he immediately extinguished his previous thoughts.

The unprecedented success of Wheat x1 has undoubtedly pushed Zhang Shuo, the chief designer of Wheat x1, to a whole new level of prestige among budding executives.

Regarding Zhang Shuo's vision and judgment, even Gu Mingzhang believed in it most of the time.

"After receiving a large advance payment, it should be said that the funding problem of Maili Group has been fundamentally improved, but we should not take it lightly."

Zhang Shuo was still worried, so he couldn't help but give a few more words of advice, especially to pour cold water at this time.

Don't let the whole team get too manic.

"The most important thing is to maintain the entire supply chain with sufficient funds to ensure the production progress while continuing to sort out suppliers and achieve more refined management."

Don't underestimate these prepayments.

Take the 18 reservations in the past two days, that is 8.26 million real money.

With these advance payments, starting from next month, the Maili Group will basically no longer need blood transfusions from the Germination Group, whether it is research and development, operation, or even production organization.

In the future, there is even room to turn over the profits to Germination.

As for the management of the supply chain, this is actually the top priority of Maili Group. In addition to being able to deliver on time with quality and quantity, it is also related to gross profit margins.

In this area, Xiaomi from Yuanshikong suffered a lot.

Xiaomi really made rapid progress in the first few years, but in 15 and 16, the sales volume not only failed to continue to increase, but began to decline, and was gradually surpassed by the rising star ov.

One of the most important reasons is that Xiaomi's supply chain management is too loose and extensive.

It is said that once Xiaomi held an internal supply chain seminar, it turned out that three technicians were required to hold three notebooks and open the Excel spreadsheet for line-by-line comparison.

Just jaw dropping.

It may be difficult for outsiders to imagine that Xiaomi, which was already quite large at that time, had such backward internal management methods that it was still stuck in the previous era.

Not even the most basic supply chain management software.

After that incident, one of the founders of Xiaomi was replaced, and Rebs was personally in charge of Xiaomi's mobile phone business, introduced a new management model, and strengthened the rectification and control of the supply chain.

This is the second take-off of Xiaomi.

Gu Mingzhang, as a former Nokia executive, naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

Maili Group followed Zhang Shuo's suggestion in the early stage and started to develop a monitoring platform specifically for the supplier management system to ensure precise control of the supply chain.

The target is Pingguo.

But Zhang Shuo still hopes to say that Maili Group can strive for excellence, and while further improving the market supply chain, it must also enhance the resilience of the supply chain to avoid external shocks.

"Mr. Gu, tell me about the production and supply of chips."

This is also the part that Zhang Shuo is most worried about. He is afraid that Pingguo will make something wrong.

He didn't dare to think of how great Pingguo was, and if he really violated Pingguo's interests, those guys became ruthless, but they could use all kinds of dirty tricks.

Throw all the self-proclaimed free competition into the trash can.

Whoever believes is bullied.

Chapter 341 Pingguo 5 with mediocre performance, reverse assist wheat grain X1!

The morning meeting is still going on.

"Haotong chips have stocked 500 million pieces, and another 500 million pieces are in production."

Gu Mingzhang reported.

"This is far from enough." Zhang Shuo shook his head, "At least the order must be based on the total sales volume of 4000 million units."

The upcoming Pingguo 5 is the best reference for Maili x1, with more than 200 million units booked on the first day, and more than 500 million units sold in the first weekend, with a total sales volume of more than 7000 million units.

In terms of sales volume, it is definitely the existence of hanging wheat grain x1.

Zhang Shuo didn't expect that the new Maili x1 could surpass Pingguo, which has already established a brand advantage in sales, but at least the gap with Samsung s3 should be narrowed.

Within one year of the latter, the total global sales volume exceeded 5000 million units.

The reason why Zhang Shuo set a total sales target of 4000 million units is also because Maili has not yet expanded into overseas markets, and it is still incomparable with Samsung, which has already deeply cultivated major global markets.

As a result, sales of 1000 million units were reduced.

"Early this morning, I have already contacted Pickup and urgently added an order for 1000 million Snapdragon processors. In the future, additional orders will be added in real time according to the sales situation."

No wonder Gu Mingzhang was conservative.

In fact, before the official release, no one thought that the wheat grain x1 would be so popular.

Pickup chips are very expensive. The purchase cost alone is as high as 1000 US dollars, and 2 million chips are [-] million US dollars. Before receiving the advance payment, Maili Group simply did not have such a large amount of funds for stocking up.

In the hardware cost of smartphones, chips account for a large part.

Take Maili x1 as an example, the hardware purchase cost is about 500 yuan, and the Snapdragon processor alone accounts for more than one-tenth of the hardware cost.

This does not include the procurement costs of flash memory chips and communication chips.

In addition to direct procurement costs, there is also a pick-up tax that mobile phone manufacturers hate.

Because in the intelligent communication industry, in addition to the chip business qct, Haotong also has a more profitable qtl business than the chip qct business.

The qtl business, in simple terms, is to collect patent fees from major smartphone manufacturers.

As one of the global communication giants, whether it is the cdma, wcdma technology in the 3G era, or the LTE technology in the 4G era, it has the most core standard technology patents.

This means that if smart phone manufacturers do not adopt the core technology of Pickone, there is no way to meet the standards to implement 3G and 4G network technology communications.

However, the charging standard of qct service of haotong is determined according to the selling price of the mobile phone. Even if it has nothing to do with haotong in terms of hardware, haotong still needs to charge 3%-5% "hotong tax".

For example, Pingguo.

In 2017, Yuanshikong and Pingguo refused to pay the patent fee of Haotong. For this reason, the two giants competed with each other in more than [-] lawsuits around the world in two years.

Finally, in the 5g era, Pingguo, which did not have a 5g network technology baseband, finally bowed to Haotong and paid 47 billion dollars in one lump sum to seek a settlement with Haotong.

And it's not exclusive to Pickaxe.

For example, Huawei, which enjoys many core patented technologies in 5G technology, also enjoys similar rights.

It can be seen that the way of heaven is a good reincarnation.

"Beware of interference from off-site factors." Zhang Shuo was still not at ease, and said to Gu Mingzhang: "You'd better take the time to visit the headquarters of Haotong, and Sunshine Holdings North America will also assist you."

"it is good!"

As an executive who has stayed in Nokia, Gu Mingzhang also knows the way inside.

Any means will be used in a hurry.

Fortunately, the threat of Maili x1 to Pingguo is not imminent, and the relationship between Pingguo and Haotong is also very ordinary, and it can even be called tense, and there is still room for mediation.

"Beautiful Country, I'll take a trip to clear up the relationship there." Lu Kai followed suit.

It is also time to demonstrate the value of the existence of overseas business units.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, you said just now that you want to strengthen the management of the mobile phone supply chain, and that's exactly what I mean. I plan to promote Xu Maocai, the general manager of Maili Electronics, to be the vice president in charge of production of Maili Group. What do you think?"

"can."

Zhang Shuo nodded in agreement, "Is anyone in charge of Maili Electronics?"

"The human resources department has already contacted a vice president of production in Fujikeng before. After you have settled here, the other party will be available soon." Gu Mingzhang is also unequivocal.

"It's fast enough."

Zhang Shuo naturally has no psychological burden to dig people from Fuji Pit.

"However, there is one thing I want to emphasize. Although the model of Fuji Keng is considered successful in the industry, when it comes to our Maili Electronics, we still need to adjust our management concepts in time, especially the Jiangcheng factory. That set of homework."

"Don't worry, I will watch it myself."

How dare Gu Mingzhang ignore the group's long-term strategy for industrial transfer? !

"Hey, I'm also reporting a piece of news."

Seeing that Gu Mingzhang's report had come to an end, Lu Kai interjected at the right time and said with a smile: "Early this morning, after the stock market opened in Pretty Country, Pingguo's stock price fell by 0.8%, and Samsung Electronics' stock price dropped by 1.5%."

Sure enough, the capital market is the most sensitive, and if there is any disturbance, it will be reflected in the stock price.

Of course.

Zhang Shuo believes that this stock price fluctuation is just a stress response of the market, and it will rise soon.

After all, the strength of the two companies lies here.

"This is not good news. Temporary stock price fluctuations will not pose any threat to Pingguo and Samsung, but will make them pay more attention to us."

"In order to confuse competitors, I suggest that when marketing, release some smoke bombs in a timely manner, saying that Maili Group will focus on the Chinese local market, and is not in a hurry to open up overseas markets, especially European and American markets."

It's rare for Zhang Shuo to admit cowardice.

There's nothing you can do if you don't admit it. The operating system and core chips of Maili x1 still rely on Meiliguo.

The road is long and difficult.

"Okay, let me handle this matter." Gu Mingzhang said.

In fact, right now is indeed not an excellent opportunity for Maili to expand overseas markets. At least until the appearance of Maili x2, with the word-of-mouth foundation of the previous work, we can expand overseas markets.

There is no rush.

After discussing the issue of grain x1, the morning meeting continued.

First, Lv Kai, who is in charge of the investment business, reported the recent progress of the listing of Automobile.com, "Mr. Zhang, Automobile.com has submitted an application for stock listing to the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Authority and submitted relevant documents."
