Chapter 213: I'm going to make mobile phones
Two days later, Kou Yu came again. When he entered the door, he said: "Mr. Ding, what you said about having a mobile phone in each person's hand may be able to achieve it, but it will take 50 years to go up." Now it's okay to get a small store and earn a little middle price, but it's not advisable for the company to get it, after all, we are not a strong consortium. ”
"Fifty years, Manager Kou, you're too conservative, aren't you? Ding Chi said with a smile, "Upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, watches, bicycles, and sewing machines, the three major pieces felt very far away at first, but did you realize it later?"
"But that's decades ......"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ding Chi said again: "TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, most of the working class have been completely realized, right? It won't take too long, computers and air conditioners will be very ordinary, why can't mobile phones?"
Kou Yu gave a reason again: "Mobile phones are not essential, and unlike TVs and refrigerators, which only consume a little electricity, they cost hundreds of yuan a month, and two or three hundred are also common, not to mention that they have to pay three or five thousand to buy a machine." Not to mention one per person, it is impossible for each family to have one, and now many people don't have a phone. ”
"I can tell you that mobile phones in the future will indeed be very expensive, 100,000 200,000 is not unusual, seven or eight thousand is not a few, but less than 1,000 yuan is more, and people's wages have increased several times at that time. The cost of the call will also drop sharply, thirty or fifty is about the same. Speaking of this, Ding Chi asked rhetorically, "Is it impossible to have one per person?"
"But it's not a matter of one sentence, even if it doesn't last for fifty years, it has to be for thirty years. Although his tone was relaxed, Kou Yu was still not optimistic, "The key is that it is not necessary for everyone, so why waste so much money." ”
Ding Chi said affirmatively: "Wrong, very wrong." At that time, the importance of mobile phones will be far more important than fixed-line telephones and TVs, and the function will not only be to make and receive calls, nor can it only play a snake game, its function is completely beyond today's imagination. ”
I don't believe that mobile phones can replace TVs, and I don't believe that they can replace computers, and the company still doesn't want to sell mobile phones, at least it can't be used as a company's development strategy. "Kou Yu is very stubborn.
Ding Chi shook his head slowly: "Not only to sell, but also to produce mobile phones." ”
Kou Yu's mouth opened wide in shock: "What? The company produces mobile phones, and what does it produce?"
"Take whatever you have to take. Ding Chi's response was very vague.
"Mr. Ding, the company is yours, you have to be responsible for yourself, don't mess around. Kou Yu's tone was very heavy, and he even hated that iron could not become steel.
"It is precisely because we have to be responsible for ourselves and the company, and we must be responsible for all employees, and we must be responsible for the whole ......" Ding Chi also looked solemn, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "That's why I want to produce mobile phones, and produce mobile phones that people can afford, and eventually everyone has a mobile phone." ”
"This is not a playhouse, please think again. Kou Yu said, standing up.
Ding Chi said lightly: "Please also think twice." ”
"Then you ......" Kou Yu was halfway through his words, turned around and shook his head and walked away.
Looking at the departing back, Ding Chi shook his head impatiently. He doesn't ridicule the other party's short-sightedness, if he is not reborn, he will think the same way, or even see as far as the other party. What he was impatient with was that some things were inconvenient to explain clearly, or even impossible to say at all, but he had to explain them in general.
For three days in a row, Kou Yu didn't look for Ding Chi again, didn't even report any work, and didn't enter the office once. Even if they met in the corridors, they just nodded and said hello, not saying a word.
Looking at Kou Yu's preoccupied appearance, Ding Chi couldn't help but laugh.
That night, Kou Yu gave the answer and handed over a "book of ten thousand words". In this document, Kou Yu quotes scriptures and classics, borrowing the past as a metaphor for the present, and the central idea is: we must be down-to-earth in doing things, and we must not be ambitious, and it is simply unrealistic for Chinese people to produce mobile phones now.
It can be seen that Kou Yu has put a lot of effort into it, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is stubborn and persistent enough. Ding Chi did not comment on the content of the document, but said: "No wonder the lights have been on for several nights, I have been thinking about this." ”
"How could I not want to? It's a matter of life and death for the company. I'm not alarmist, there are so many cases, and there are several recently. Which one is not ambitious, which one is not wealthy, what will happen in the end? Aren't they all on the high ground?" Realizing that the sentence was stiff, Kou Yu eased his tone slightly, "Actually, I used to be quite proud in my bones, either I looked down on this or that one I looked down on, I always felt that I was superior to others, and I was always thinking about it. But after so many years of floating in society, I have taken a lot of detours, but in the end I have achieved nothing. You're a natural talent, you can't afford to fall on such an old stone. ”
"I'm not trying to fall on my heels, I'm doing something very meaningful. Ding Chi said very sincerely.
"Do you really want to go all the way to the dark?" Kou Yu asked in a deep voice.
Ding Chi nodded solemnly: "Yes, I have done this thing." ”
"Well, then I'll have to resign. "Kou Yu made a difficult decision.
Ding Chi asked: "Why? I insist on doing it, you just need to do a good job of management, and the success or failure of things has nothing to do with you." ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of taking responsibility, but I can't bear to look at you......" After a slight pause, Kou Yu said again, "After I leave, I hope you don't go immediately, you must find a suitable manager, and listen to this person's opinion, okay?"
Hearing the other party's sincere words, Ding Chi was very moved and very unbearable, but he could only stubbornly say: "No matter who it is, it can't stop my determination." Also, I don't agree with your resignation. ”
"It's my freedom to resign, it's my last helpless struggle, you don't count. Kou Yu is also very stubborn.
"There are still a few months before the end of the year, and that is when we agreed to evaluate your value, and you are not sure about yourself by quitting the company now. "Ding Chi sacrificed the method of agitation.
Kou Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm very unwilling, and I can't bear to leave you, you are really good." But since I can't stop you from risking self-harm, then my existence is meaningless, and leaving is the best option. ”
"Manager Kou, by the way, in fact, I didn't make it clear, the production of mobile phones is not in this company, but to find another place. Of course, the funds still have to be dispatched from here, which will have a much less impact on your management. Ding Chi threw out a new explanation.
"Looking for another place?" Kou Yu didn't understand for a while, but still shook his head, "Actually, it's all the same, I don't need to stay anymore." ”
"No, I don't care, I have to talk about it at the end of the year, otherwise I will sue you for violating the agreement. Ding Chi directly committed a crime.
"Sue me? You won't, you're not like that. ”
"Why not? I said it at the beginning, but I used it at a critical moment, and I was looking for reasons for this and that, isn't it afraid of taking responsibility and failing for fear of failure?"
"Are you so unreasonable?" Kou Yu also raised his voice, "Tell you, I'm not afraid of you sueing, anyway, I'm alone, there's nothing to be afraid of, but you ...... Hey, that's the end of the year. ”
Ding Chi smiled: "Brother Kou, I know that you are not a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”
"Let's think about how you do it. After Kou Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Ding Chi's voice came from behind him: "Please don't tell me about it, you know me." ”
"Don't worry, let me say nothing, I won't sell you stinky. Kou Yu was still angry.
