Chapter 431 Negotiation failed
At this point, the relationship has been torn apart.
Therefore, Mr. Duan was not too polite, and looked at Gao Yuan with a very cold look, "Wait and see, Mr. Gao! I can get to where I am today, not all by luck."
Lei Jun once said that standing on the vent, even a pig can fly.
That era was indeed full of various opportunities. He was able to make a factory that was losing two million to its current scale, more relying on his own ability.
Now that young people have achieved some results, they actually look down on him, so let's wait and see.
...
Soon after Lao Duan left, Lei Jun called.
"Hello, Mr. Gao, how is the discussion with Mr. Duan?"
Lei Jun asked on the other end of the phone, "It seems that our old predecessor is not very peaceful."
Lao Duan became famous at the end of the last century, and then immigrated to the United States. Lei Jun really became famous around 2010, starting a business to manufacture Xiaomi mobile phones, and the two of them did not interact much.
"He plans to have a big fight with us," Gao Yuan said.
"Then do it. I often say that life and death are indifferent. Just fight if you don't accept it." Lei Jun said, "From the start of the business to now, Xiaomi mobile phone has grown to where it is today. It has encountered so many difficulties and obstacles, and it has all been fought."
Lei Jun is naturally a ruthless person. He went to war with the supply chain Four Star Mobile and fought with the old Zhou of 360 at that time... No battle was easy to fight, but he got through it all.
"There are more than 100 billion in cash in the group's account. I am sure I can defeat Lao Duan."
Lei Jun is full of confidence.
He is known as the cash king of the capital. The company's cash flow is extremely abundant. Coupled with the advantages of Xiaomi's hot series of mobile phones, Lao Duan will definitely be in trouble.
"Lao Duan has been away from China for too long. His era has passed." Gao Yuan said.
This old predecessor is indeed capable, but he has been in a semi-retired state overseas for so many years, and may no longer be adapted to the current domestic business war.
That night, Lao Duan started the first step of the business war - the price reduction strategy.
Under the pressure of Xiaomi mobile phones, the combined monthly sales of OPPO and VIVO were about 20 million units.
Now the monthly sales have dropped sharply to less than 8 million units.
Price cuts can promote mobile phone sales very well, at least to survive this month, and increase the predicted sales of 8 million units to 10 million units.
As soon as this news was announced, it also made it to the hot search list. After all, OPPO and VIVO can be regarded as national mobile phones and are very well-known.
"Oh my god, OPPO and VIVO phones have actually dropped in price, it's so weird, I don't think these two phones have ever dropped in price so much."
"Isn't it? But I think the first phone I used was also an OPPO phone."
"The friend above not only used his first phone, but also his first installment payment, right?"
"Yes, I was still in high school at that time, and my family gave me 500 yuan a month for living expenses. I wanted to buy a cheaper phone, but I bought an OPPO phone under the salesman's deception. I applied for a 12-term installment payment and had to pay it back every month. It was really hard at that time."
"..."
In the beginning, installment payments accounted for a large part of OPPO and VIVO's sales methods.
Those young people wanted to buy a mobile phone, but they didn't have enough money, so they went to OPPO or VIVO mobile phone stores to apply for mobile phone installment payments.
Generally, the installment payment is about one year, and the repayment for each installment is a few hundred yuan.
For office workers, this amount of money is nothing, but for students, the monthly living expenses are limited.
After deducting the installment repayment of the mobile phone, the rest of life will be frugal.
…
On the other hand, after Lao Duan adopted the price reduction strategy, there seemed to be no movement.
This time he reduced the price by a lot. Within a month, both OPPO and VIVO phones were reduced by 500 yuan each.
A mobile phone only sells for two or three thousand yuan, and a price reduction of 500 yuan is already a big move. In a short period of time, the sales of these two mobile phones have indeed increased.
According to Lei Jun’s statistics, on the first day alone, OV mobile phones increased sales by nearly 500,000 units.
However, for the unstoppable Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones, the sales of 500,000 units are still not enough.
After the actual test of mobile phone review bloggers and word of mouth from users who got the first mobile phone, the sales of Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones are still very strong. In terms of mobile phone quality, Gao Yuan and Lei Jun are already far ahead.
On the other side, Lin Wanyu’s bestie Han Lin was lying on the big bed in the hotel, looking at the ceiling.
She and Qin Zheng have completely broken up.
He was just the son of a stacker. Han Lin used to be able to look up to him, but now Han Lin is no longer the ignorant little girl.
The stacker is not worthy of her!
Han Lin took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Lin Wanyu, "Sister, are you busy today?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Wanyu did not reply.
Han Lin was getting impatient, so she sent another message to Lin Wanyu, "Sister, if you are not busy, let's have dinner together tonight, and invite your husband too, and the three of us can chat. I broke up with my boyfriend Qin Zheng. He is a very bad person, and I am a little sad. Let's drink some more tonight."
After Han Lin finished typing, she clicked send.
Drinking tonight is a good opportunity to enhance the relationship between several people. You can also take the opportunity to add Gao Yuan's contact information. If you want to talk about anything, you can directly talk to Gao Yuan in private.
After bypassing Lin Wanyu, there are more things that can be done. Han Lin is confident that she can win Gao Yuan in a short time. After all, as a man, who doesn't like a woman to throw herself into her arms?
Especially for a sexy woman, if she changes into sexier clothes and takes the initiative, she won't be able to defeat Gao Yuan.
Thinking of this, a lustful smile appeared on Han Lin's face.
The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the phone screen, and the next second Han Lin screamed, "What's going on?"
A red exclamation point appeared on the screen, and she was blocked by Lin Wanyu!
Han Lin was a little dissatisfied. Why did Lin Wanyu block her? He didn't offend her.
Han Lin walked out angrily and went straight to Yuanfang Group, wanting to ask Lin Wanyu face to face.
Although she wanted to cheat on Lin Wanyu's boyfriend, she didn't take any action after all. Wasn't she innocent of suspicion?
After arriving at Yuanfang Group, Han Lin walked straight inside.
When she walked to the place where the card was swiped, Han Lin paused.
"Hello, madam, may I help you?" The security personnel of Yuanfang Group came over and asked.
Han Lin felt a little guilty, "I lost my work badge and can't get in. Can you help me open the door?"
"Sorry, if you have lost your house number, you can contact your immediate supervisor and ask him to apply to the HR department. We will only release it after we receive confirmation from the HR department."
said the security guard.
Big groups have big group rules and regulations.
There are thousands of employees in this building of Yuanfang Group, and it is impossible for the security personnel to remember everyone's appearance.
What if it is released and someone takes this opportunity to sneak in?
"Actually, I just came here two days ago. Vice President Lin Wanyu brought me in. You should have an impression, right?" Lin Wanyu said.
"If you know Mr. Lin, it will be more convenient. You can ask Mr. Lin to contact the human resources department. With Mr. Lin coming forward, a lot of procedures can be saved." Security said.
"Damn, why can't you get enough oil and salt in?" Han Lin almost went crazy.
Having said all that, you just won’t let yourself in, right?
"I know the boss of your company, Gao Yuan. If you don't let me in, you will be responsible for the consequences." Han Lin crossed her hands and looked at the security personnel coldly, threatening.
"Sorry, our Mr. Lin attaches great importance to rules and regulations. This matter is within the company's rules and regulations." Security said, "If you cannot contact Mr. Lin or Mr. Gao, we cannot let you in. Please also Please leave for now and don’t disturb our work.”
Under the watchful eye of the security guard, Han Lin could only leave.
Lin Wanyu cannot be contacted now, and there is no contact information with Gao Yuan.
Han Lin could only wait near the company. When Lin Wanyu got off work, she would question her when she saw her.
Thinking of this, Han Lin found a milk tea shop nearby, and then sat in the milk tea shop and waited.
Just like that, until get off work in the afternoon, a black high-end business car slowly drove out of the underground garage.
Han Lin hurried over and stopped in front of the car.
"Han Lin? What do you want to do?"
The car window slowly lowered, Lin Wanyu looked at Han Lin outside the window and asked.
"Why did you delete my contact information?" Han Lin asked, "I didn't do anything sorry for you."
"Because we are not from the same group, it's as simple as that!" Lin Wanyu said, "Master, let's drive!"
"You can't leave. Speak clearly. Why are we not on the same page?" Han Lin felt that she had been betrayed. She had always regarded Lin Wanyu as her best friend.
Even if you want to poach Lin Wanyu's corner, you haven't done so yet, right? Aren't the two still best friends now?
Unfortunately, Lin Wanyu was too lazy to listen anymore.
Behind this commercial vehicle, there were two other vehicles, which were filled with elites who had been trained at the Australian military training base.
After realizing that Lin Wanyu was in trouble, the bodyguards immediately got out of the car and rushed over, dragging Han Lin away.
The road ahead was clear, and the commercial vehicle drove towards the villa.
Gao Yuan was naturally also in this car.
Lin Wanyu looked at Gao Yuan helplessly, "Han Lin is not giving up. It seems that my husband is too charming."
Lin Wanyu is not a fool. Ever since she saw her best friend Han Lin's eyes looking at Gao Yuan, she knew that her best friend had some serious thoughts about Gao Yuan.
In addition, Han Lin took the initiative to break up with her boyfriend Qin Zheng, driving Qin Zheng abroad while she stayed in the country.
Lin Wanyu became more and more certain that Han Lin had bad intentions.
Originally, Lin Wanyu wanted to entertain her best friend Han Lin when she returned to China, but she didn't expect that she would actually entertain an enemy.
"Hahaha, I won't like someone like her even if she is ten times more beautiful." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Why? Because she admires foreign things?"
Lin Wanyu asked curiously.
"Because she is not a first-hand person," Gao Yuan said. "In addition, her personality is a bit extreme. She can even do things like stop a car. It is hard to imagine that she will do anything crazy in the future."
Falling in love with someone who is too extreme is looking for trouble.
What if he cuts his wrists and jumps off a building after he gets it? Who can withstand it?
…
At the same time, another breaking news broke out on the Internet.
This news still came from OPPO and VIVO.
The two companies jointly issued a statement: In view of the current situation of the Group, Honorary Chairman Duan has returned from abroad and is in charge of OPPO and VIVO again. Please continue to support Duan and the Company. I believe that with our efforts, the Group will definitely overcome the crisis.
Then, Duan issued an internal letter of the Group.
[Gentlemen! The times are changing. Today is different from the past. Our OPPO and VIVO business departments will face an unprecedented crisis. When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact. Only by working together can we face the opportunities and challenges brought by the new era...]
At this time, an internal letter of more than 2,000 words was moved to the Internet intact by insiders.
These two messages have been on the hot search.
One message ranked third in the hot search, and the other ranked fifth in the hot search.
The younger generation, who do not know the strength of the old Duan, have asked questions online.
"Who is this Duan? Why haven't I heard of him? How did he go directly from honorary chairman to CEO?"
As soon as the message was sent out, some older people popularized it in the comment area.
"Young people, you are really young and don't know how terrible Mr. Duan is. You know, at the end of the last century, Mr. Duan was recognized as a marketing genius by countless entrepreneurs. Lei Jun's marketing ability is also very strong, but in front of Mr. Duan, he is just a younger brother."
"When Mr. Duan was in power, Lei Jun was still working at Yinshan. At that time, Lei Jun was just a little Karami. The company encountered a crisis and the number of employees decreased from 200 to 15. When Mr. Duan planned to retire in the past few years, Lei Jun began to flourish."
People of different times are not comparable.
If you really want to compare, it is that their marketing ability is terrible and they are good at creating hot spots.
Lei Jun is already a leader in this industry, but in front of Mr. Duan, he is still a junior.
"I seem to understand that Mr. Duan seems to be planning to go to war with Xiaomi, right?"
Some netizens realized that the internal letter seemed to be tit-for-tat, openly and secretly blaming Xiaomi Group and accusing it of disrupting the market.
"Oh my god, you just found out that there is something wrong with this internal letter. When Xiaomi mobile phone was first released, I predicted that there would be a tough battle between Xiaomi mobile phone and OPPO and VIVO. This battle must be fought. Whoever wins can occupy the low-end market and become the undisputed leading enterprise in this market. The loser will have to withdraw from this battle and eventually disappear from the domestic mobile phone market."
"In the past, OPPO and VIVO had the upper hand. Since Lei Jun joined Yuanfang Group, Xiaomi's hot series has the upper hand. But now that Lao Duan has come out, it's really hard to say..." (End of this chapter)
