Chapter 1008: A Month's Time
Hu Mingchen was admitted to Langzhou University, which surprised many people, and they gave advice and expressed concern for Hu Mingchen. And Hu Mingchen himself didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't have the energy to mind this, he now had more important things to do.
Hu Mingchen has already received news from Shao Yipeng that the people sent to the United States by the Vanity Company have returned, and the negotiations are very unsatisfactory, and Apple has not made the slightest concession at all.
Then there are not many choices in front of Guo Mingli, and he may close the production line in addition to losing money. There is no other way, and there is no way to repay the debt.
More importantly, I don't know if it was Apple that released the news, or if the information leaked here, and the Vanilla Company was sued by Apple in court, demanding high compensation and suspending the use of their related technology by the media.
For a time, both domestic and foreign media have made propaganda reports on this matter, which has made the corporate image and product image of Mingli Company plummet, and the sales of the company's smart phone products have declined sharply, making the mobile phone products in the warehouse of Mingli Company piled up, and it is not easy to sell them at a lower price.
I really think that consumers are stupid, those consumers are fine. To put it simply, if Fame and Fortune really withdraw from the smartphone project, then if you buy their products, it will be difficult to sell them in the future, and you will not get any guarantee at all.
This alone has caused a strong obstacle to the sales of Vanilla's products. In addition, people who will buy smartphones now and are willing to consume smartphones are self-proclaimed avant-garde, and these people have a characteristic, that is, they are very taboo and looked down upon.
Since the fame and fortune company has stolen other people's technology and has not much technology to speak of, it shows for a long time that the products produced by this company are not very dripping, at least they are second-rate goods.
At this time, with a mobile phone product from Vanity Company in his hand, it is easy to be despised and disregarded.
Under the attack of the two, the smartphone of the company fell off a cliff, causing agents and dealers to complain, and they also lost confidence in the company.
In the past, I thought that Mingli Company was a large enterprise and a high-tech OEM company, and it must have mastered a lot of key technologies in its hands. Who knows, the fame and fortune company actually stole and many people were extremely disappointed.
"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind. Negotiations with Apple have broken down, and that's not even counting the fact that sales of the company's mobile phone products have plummeted, and now, we have stockpiled more than 800,000 phones that are specially prepared for the summer holidays. Now that we have internal and external troubles, what should we do? Can any of you tell me what to do? Guo Mingli took a puff of his cigar, lay down on the sofa, and frowned at the right-hand man sitting on both sides.
After Guo Mingli finished asking, no one spoke, and they all remained silent and did not express their opinions, which was very similar to the situation in the last meeting.
"Eh, eh, eh, aren't you usually quite capable? All of them are graduates of prestigious schools, all of them are senior executives of the company, how can anyone give me an idea to help us turn the crisis around?" Guo Ming pointed to his right arm with his cigar cigarette.
Everyone's eyes avoided Guo Mingli and did not dare to look at him.
At this time, whoever comes out is a fool, unless there is really some peerless plan, otherwise, it is the best choice to keep your head down and remain silent.
If you don't have the certainty of the shot, then it's better not to touch his brow casually, otherwise it will be completely self-inflicted.
"When I get a high salary, I rush to be the first, and when I encounter hardships to solve, I am afraid one by one, I am really ......" Guo Mingli wanted to get angry violently, but he temporarily held back, took a breath of nonsense, and calmed down, "Shao Yipeng, you say, what can you do to get through this difficulty, do you have a good way?"
Since no one spoke, Guo Mingli spoke by name.
Shao Yipeng raised his head and glanced left and right first: "...... Mr. Guo, in fact, everyone has no choice, but they are not very mature. ”
"What are you talking about now about maturity or immaturity, if you have ideas, you can talk about maturity, and if you are immature, we can discuss maturity, hide it and count it as a hair. Guo Mingli was so angry that he sweared, "If you have something to say, you can let it go, when is it, and you still play with these vain things." ”
"Mr. Guo, since Apple won't budge, then we ...... It seems that there is only one way, that is, to immediately use the technology of Pengbo Electronics Group, all the technical lines are replaced, and the products that have been produced will either be returned to the cage or processed at a low price, only in this way can our sellers rest assured and give consumers a confidence. Shao Yipeng organized the wording.
"You just said that you all think this way...... Do all of you think so?" Guo Mingli asked, looking at the others except Shao Yipeng.
"Mr. Guo, Shao Yipeng's words, I think it is very reasonable, we can't get the lawsuit to start adjusting, then it's too late, we have to do it now, we have to be ahead of the situation, don't say it unexpectedly, we really don't have many choices. "The deputy general manager who led the team to the United States and came back.
"Mr. Guo, we can't do it yet, we haven't fully understood the technology of Pengbo Electronics Group, and it will take some time, otherwise, there will be risks. Xu Yuze hurriedly said.
Xu Yuze is the technical director, and he coordinates and checks all technical matters. If the technology is not mature and it is put into production, then if there is a problem with the product in the future, he will have to bear a lot of responsibility.
"Mr. Xu, but we don't have time now. You say that you want to understand the technology of Pengbo Electronics Group, is it difficult? We are capable of producing smartphones ourselves, is it really that difficult to reverse engineer and crack a mobile phone? I don't believe it. Shao Yipeng said.
"yes, that's pretty much it. We don't have that much time to wait, the market waits for no one. The official Sima Shang on Apple's side is about to enter the trial process, and if we wait until everything is ready, I am afraid that we have already missed out on many valuable customers. Many markets are extremely difficult to reshape if they lose their minds. The vice president followed Shao Yipeng and said, their goal is one, that is, to maintain the prestige and image of the fame and fortune company.
"You ......" Xu Yuze was angry, and his words were not good, "I am resolutely opposed, as a high-tech company, we must not have the mentality of getting by, let alone being lucky, otherwise, it will eventually backfire on our heads." ”
"Okay, don't argue, what's there to fight about such a thing?" Guo Mingli raised his hands and pressed down to comfort the three of them, of course, he was also quarreled by these three people.
"Mr. Guo, I believe that the lawsuit with Apple will not be closed in a short time, my side, give me two or three months, Pengbo Electronics Group's new IPENG uses a part of the new technology, we want to use their new things, we can't always install new bars, in that case, our fame company's products will be completely reduced to third-rate, but we are a first-class large company." Xu Yuze said.
"Mr. Guo, as far as I know, the scientific research of Pengbo Electronics Group is the same model as our country's research weapons, that is, the pre-research generation, the development generation, and the use of the generation, and the upgrading of electronic consumer goods is getting faster and faster, and the speed is very important. If we wait for two or three months before we implement it, not to mention the lawsuit on Apple's side, we can't predict it, even if we can get the time right, but once we copy IPENG, our product is pushed, and Pengbo Electronics uses the latest scientific and technological achievements? Shao Yipeng took Xu Yuze's words and said.
The reason why Shao Yipeng lobbied for the use of IPENG's product technology as soon as possible is because he has a mission. As long as the products on the side of Vanity Company are linked to IPENG of Pengbo Electronics as soon as possible, his task will be completed, and he will be able to obtain complete freedom in the future, in other words, Hu Mingchen will not trouble him again.
"Mr. Guo, what Shao Yipeng said makes sense, there may be a new generation of products in less than a year in the future, think about Apple, how long has it been since they went from IPH1 to IPH2? Moreover, only if we completely abandon Apple's technology, we can do it in public opinion, otherwise, just holding on to this point is enough for us to drink a pot, and maybe in a few months, the image of Fame and Fortune will be almost ruined. The vice president of Mingli Company held the same position as Shao Yipeng.
Before Shao Yipeng and the vice president came to Guo Mingli for a meeting, the two of them had already met and exchanged views.
Guo Mingli fell into deep groaning and thinking, he didn't expect the company's transformation to be so difficult, and thought that he had found a broad road, but he didn't know that it was full of thorns, and if he wasn't careful, he would stab his whole body.
A stab wound may not be fatal, but it can become infected, and if the infection is not treated as soon as possible, it will also die.
"Mr. Xu, two or three months is really too long, one month, there are so many engineers in your department, you can ask them all to join in, work hard, I believe you can do it within a month." I hope that next month, we will be able to launch a new product into the market, the company can't afford to lose, now the sales volume is so bad, the confidence and enthusiasm of the seller can not be lost, otherwise, even if you come up with the best product in the future, the market may not accept. After thinking for a while, Guo Mingli made up his mind.
Guo Mingli is equivalent to setting a time bottom line for Xu Yuze, which is also a last resort.
