Chapter 404: The advent of mobile phones

This New Year's Eve in Australia gave Gao Yuan's family a novel experience.

It was that Gao's father and mother were a little uncomfortable in Australia. After staying for a few days, they clamored to return home.

After all, they were used to living in China, and their relatives and friends were all in China. Although staying in Australia was good, it was not so happy.

So on the third day of the New Year, Gao Yuan took his family back to China by plane.

On the fourth, fifth and sixth days of the New Year, the threshold of the Gao family was almost trampled.

In the words of Gao's father, it was the first time in his life that he knew that his family had so many relatives.

These people came with gifts, and Gao's father couldn't refuse relatives.

But with so many relatives, Gao's father was exhausted just entertaining himself.

So on the morning of the seventh day of the New Year, Gao's father followed Gao Yuan to the city to hide away.

And the seventh day of the Lunar New Year was the day to resume work.

Gao Yuan came to the door of the company early with a stack of red envelopes in his hand.

Li Mengqing and Lin Wanyu stood beside Gao Yuan, smiling and welcoming the employees who returned to work.

"Look! President Gao is here."

During this period, Gao Yuan rarely came to the company. As Yuanfang Group has grown to this level, many people have never seen Gao Yuan.

"Oh my god, I came to the company last year and have been here for more than half a year. I haven't seen President Gao. I didn't expect that President Gao would stand at the door of the company to welcome us today?"

"It's great, the workers are happy again. I'll record a video and upload it to the Internet later."

"..."

Many new employees have entered Yuanfang Group and have not met Gao Yuan yet.

They are just grassroots employees. It's hard for them to meet middle-level management, let alone the helmsman of Yuanfang Group.

Therefore, when they saw Gao Yuan standing at the door to greet them, they all showed incredible expressions.

"Happy New Year!"

Gao Yuan distributed the red envelopes in his hand to the employees.

The amount in the red envelopes was not much, only one thousand yuan, but it also represented Gao Yuan's heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

The employees who received the red envelopes were excited.

"Go, work hard!"

Gao Yuan patted the employee on the shoulder.

The next employee was still the same. As more and more employees came in, Gao Yuan gave out red envelopes faster and faster.

Later, Li Mengqing and Lin Wanyu also helped to give out red envelopes.

At about 9:30 in the morning, all the red envelopes were given out.

The video of giving out red envelopes was also uploaded to the Internet and quickly became popular.

The netizens were so envious and jealous.

"Gan, working for other bosses, those bosses treat us like cattle and horses, but working for Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao treats us like brothers! It is such a great honor for a billionaire boss to give out red envelopes to employees."

"No more talking, I also want to apply for Yuanfang Group."

"The brother upstairs suggested looking in the mirror. Yuanfang Group is not so easy to get into. Do you have a 985 degree..."

"..."

The netizens talked a lot.

Many students who are about to graduate have submitted their resumes to Yuanfang Group.

At one time, Yuanfang Group received more than 100,000 resumes.

With so many resumes, the HR department would be exhausted and unable to finish reading them one by one.

All the big companies are like this.

Therefore, the HR department will generally check the academic qualifications, which is the most effective way to screen resumes.

But large companies like Yuanfang Group also have social recruitment. It's just that social recruitment is more difficult, requiring work experience in a large company and an excellent resume.

"You are now a hot search physique."

Lin Wanyu walked into Gao Yuan's office and put her mobile phone in front of Gao Yuan to show Gao Yuan the latest hot search.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that just giving a red envelope to employees could be on the hot search." Gao Yuan said, "But this also shows from the side that most business bosses are indeed a bit too much, and they don't even have the most basic concern for their employees."

Gao Yuan didn't think he did a good job, but other bosses did too badly.

"The HR department plans to improve the employee welfare benefits framework and set up a major illness medical assistance fund within the company." Lin Wanyu said, "The specific approach is to take out 200 million yuan of funds, set up a fund pool, and have a dedicated person to operate this fund."

"If an employee in the company encounters a major illness, he can apply to the assistance fund, and the approval will be carried out according to the level of the employee's illness and the employee's family situation."

"The approval amount ranges from 5,000 to 1 million."

In other words, after an employee gets a serious illness, the medical insurance plus the company's subsidy may not cost a penny.

"Okay, you will do this. You will take the lead in setting up a separate department to handle this matter. When approving, you must pay attention to every penny spent on the blade."

"In addition, set up an anti-corruption department, and let Li Mengqing manage this department."

"Corruption within the group must be strictly investigated."

This situation exists in any large enterprise, selling out the interests of the company to grab a lot of wealth for themselves.

These people are in high positions and receive high salaries, but they are still not satisfied.

"Do the purchasing and sales departments need to be strictly checked?" Lin Wanyu asked.

"The purchasing department is the hardest hit area and must be strictly checked. The sales department should be put on hold for a while." Gao Yuan thought for a moment and then decided.

The purchasing department and the sales department are the two most important departments of the company. They often deal with money, and kickbacks often happen in the industry.

The sales department is involved in the development of the company, so Gao Yuan doesn't think it's okay to get some kickbacks.

Gold medal sales can bring hundreds of millions or even billions of sales to the company every year. If any gold medal sales member leaves, it will be a loss for the company.

This strict internal anti-corruption investigation also has the effect of killing the chicken and warning the monkeys, so that people in the sales department should not go too far.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible."

Lin Wanyu nodded.

…

In the afternoon, Li Wei came to the headquarters of Yuanfang Group.

He came here with the first mobile phone developed by Yuanfang Group.

"Mr. Gao, this is the Yuanfang mobile phone developed internally by us."

Li Wei said, "There is also a piece of information that I compiled by comparing it with other mobile phones."

Li Wei compared several popular mobile phones on the market.

The first is the Apple mobile phone. Currently, the best-selling mobile phone in the world is the Apple mobile phone. Their company’s market value is close to 20 trillion yuan.

Next up is the Warwick phone.

The sales volume of Huawei mobile phones in China has surpassed that of Apple mobile phones in the past two years.

Their company's marketing methods are very good, combining the use of Warwick mobile phones with support for national products, and accumulated a large number of users.

Ranking third in the market is the Xiaomi mobile phone released by Rebus.

In the past ten years, Rebus first used low-priced mobile phones to seize a large number of low-end markets, and then began to expand into the high-end market. Unfortunately, their high-end mobile phones have never been able to compete with Warwick mobile phones.

As for the remaining OPPO and vivo mobile phones, both belong to the same owner. When smart phones first emerged, they once occupied the mainstream of the domestic mobile phone market, but sales in recent years have been far lower than before.

In addition, there are many mobile phones that have a brief flash of brilliance and then quickly fade away.

When Gao Yuan was looking at the information, Li Wei on the side said, "Mr. Gao, Apple's mobile phones have not changed much in recent years. It's a bit like changing the soup without changing the medicine. They just change the appearance of the phone and then take it out for release. No It was a timeless feeling.”

"I remember when the iPhone 4 was released, it could be said to have subverted the entire mobile phone industry. At that time, some people had no money to buy the iPhone 4 and even sold their kidneys."

Gao Yuan nodded. He had experienced that era. Until that era, some people did crazy things to buy iPhones.

There was a time when you could show off your iPhone to people around you to satisfy your own vanity.

Of course, the quality of Apple mobile phones is also very high.

Their system is so smooth, and the background APP can refresh automatically.

There are also many shortcomings, such as poor signal quality and overheating of the phone... Until now, Apple's mobile phones have not corrected these shortcomings.

Many netizens ridiculed that the combination of an Apple phone with a telecommunications card and being in an elevator meant losing contact.

This is also the reason why netizens have hated Apple mobile phone signals for so many years.

"Apple's mobile phones have indeed declined in the past two years, and their former glory is no longer there. But you don't have to worry, the mobile phones we produce are only for the domestic market. As for the foreign mobile phone market, I have other plans." Gao Yuan said.

He also built a mobile phone factory in Australia and planned to produce π mobile phones with Musk.

There is no other way. Who knows that when domestic mobile phones enter foreign markets, they will encounter large-scale boycotts?

By borrowing Musk's mobile phone case, and then borrowing Musk's identity and channels, the sales of π mobile phones will go smoothly.

China is a huge market with a population of more than one billion, and this market must not be ignored.

Moreover, China is still the base camp of Gaoyuan.

"That's good!" Li Wei nodded.

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, he felt relieved.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the courage to start a war with Apple phones now.

"Then let me talk about Warwick mobile phones." Li Wei said, "Warwick mobile phones accounted for 17% of the domestic market in the first quarter of this year. A total of 67.7 million mobile phones were sold in the entire first quarter, and Warwick mobile phones sold 11.7 million units." million units, mainly Huawei's high-end mobile phones. Compared with last year, their sales increased by about 70%. In the past two years, Huawei mobile phones were sanctioned by Western countries, but they quickly developed their own system. We have also been developing our own chip technology.”

"The success of Warwick Mobile Phones is inseparable from their long-term commitment to technology research and development and product innovation."

Warwick mobile phones are indeed very powerful. Even though they have been attacked by many, they are still making great progress.

But that was not what Gao Yuan was most concerned about. He asked directly, "How does our mobile phone system compare with Warwick?"

"Mr. Gao, to be honest, this is a bit offending." Li Wei said with a smile, "I carefully compared our mobile phone system with Warwick's mobile phone system. I feel that Warwick's system is not one-tenth as powerful as ours."

"But if we say this, I'm afraid many netizens will stand up and accuse us, thinking that we are crazy about money and have climbed to the top by stepping on Warwick mobile phones."

Li Wei's analysis is very correct.

The Internet doesn't care about this. Most netizens don't understand the performance of mobile phones and just follow the trend.

Therefore, once the news comes out that the remote mobile phone system is ten times more powerful than the Warwick mobile phone system, those netizens will definitely turn around and start criticizing.

"Don't use this sentence when promoting it." Gao Yuan said, "If a review blogger says this sentence in the future, we don't have to rush to defend it and let public opinion ferment."

"It's mediocre not to make people jealous. If no one scolds us, it means our phone has failed."

At this point, Gao Yuan is very open-minded.

Even if they scolded her, it meant that they knew the name of Yuanfang Mobile.

Invisibly, it is equivalent to calling GG on a distant mobile phone.

Is black and red also red?

When they truly realize how easy it is to use far-flung mobile phones, word-of-mouth will completely change.

"Okay, Mr. Gao."

Li Wei nodded and continued to evaluate Xiaomi mobile phones, "Xiaomi mobile phones were the first to develop because they squeezed out some off-brand mobile phones and robbed the market of those off-brand mobile phones."

"Today's Xiaomi mobile phones rely on Mr. Lei's personal IP and still have many loyal fans. However, Xiaomi mobile phones are more like assembly machines. Among these mobile phones, I think Xiaomi mobile phones pose the least threat."

Hearing Li Wei's analysis, Gao Yuan frowned, "You are wrong to think this way. Although Xiaomi mobile phones are purely assembly machines, Mr. Lei is too powerful. You can never underestimate this person. His thunderous behavior shocked both China and the world." This comparison method gives many entrepreneurs a headache.”

"The quality of the product is very important, but the marketing of mobile phones is even more important. Mr. Lei is a natural marketing genius. How many people have surpassed him in marketing over the years? Even Dadongzi admitted it himself. Don't argue with Mr. Lei. than marketing.”

When facing Rebus, you must not take it lightly.

"I understand, but Xiaomi mobile phones have Mr. Lei, and we also have you." Li Wei said with a smile, "We only produce and buy mobile phones. The specific marketing level has to be handled by you. You and Mr. Lei are the two kings. King."

Li Wei left this troublesome matter to Gao Yuan.

To be fair, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Li Wei also felt that the chance of winning against Rebus was very low.

Mr. Gao’s current personal IP is also very powerful, so let Mr. Gao handle it.

"Hahaha, you know how to be cunning. Don't worry, I will pay more attention to marketing matters." Gao Yuan said.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't worry about letting Li Wei face Rebus.

After a few jokes, Li Wei continued to analyze OPPO and vivo mobile phones.

"The boss behind these two mobile phones is named Duan, and he immigrated abroad more than 20 years ago. When the smartphone era just started, one of their favorite things to do was to open branches, and they opened two stores as soon as they opened. Home."

“OPPO mobile phones and vivo mobile phones compete against each other and compete for KPI. This method is indeed very clever. In just a few months, these two mobile phones have become famous. To this day, OPPO mobile phones and vivo mobile phones still have huge sales. fan base.”

"In the low-end market, even Xiaomi's mobile phone sales sometimes rank behind them."

"One family is nothing to be afraid of, but when two families work together, you have to be careful." (End of Chapter)
