Chapter 316: The Biggest Defeat

Xu Xincheng said eloquently: "This brings me to the second thing I want to say. Yesterday, Chairman Lucy issued two important tasks, the first important task, that is, the eighth important task, to transform and upgrade the Propaganda Department, upgrade to the Cultural Propaganda Department, and take the department as the executive unit to carry out ideological and cultural construction for the employees of the company. The company needs to carry out a complete ideological revolution, and it needs to overturn the outdated old ideas that hinder the company's development. I am the first person in charge of this important task, which requires the cooperation and collaboration of the directors and various departments. ”

General Manager Li nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this transformation and upgrading is necessary. There will be more and more employees in the company, and the ideological and cultural construction must keep up. In this regard, Hongfei AI Division has not done well enough before, and it must be strengthened from now on. ”

"Yes. The so-called system manages affairs and culture manages people, especially enterprises with many employees, need to pay more attention to ideological and cultural construction. The specific implementation plan needs to be discussed with you separately. According to Chairman Lucy's instructions, this ideological innovation will start with the top management and will start with the study of a book. ”

"A book?"

"Last night, at around seven o'clock, I sent a message in the WeChat group, asking everyone to buy the book "The Innovator's Dilemma" and read it carefully, and also specifically noted that this book was recommended by Chairman Lucy. I remember your reply was 'buy it now, see it as soon as possible,' right?"

"Yes. As soon as I sent that message, I bought the e-book. However, last night, I had a party with two old friends, and I didn't have time to watch it yet. ”

Xu Xincheng also bought the electronic version of the book last night, and this morning, in the special car that came to the company, he read it quickly, and he said: "I browsed the book this morning, and the ideas in the book are really very enlightening, especially the cases listed in it, such as the real cases of the rapid decline of Kodak, Nokia, Motorola and other companies, which are very convincing." I believe that after reading it, you will no longer feel that industry overlords such as Company A and Company M are invincible. ”

General Manager Li thought for a while, nodded and said, "I agree very much with what you just said about confidence. At the beginning of World War II, European countries once believed that the German army was invincible, so the armies of various countries became vulnerable in front of the German army, and some countries even surrendered without a fight. One of the main reasons why the Soviet army was able to defeat the German army in the Battle of Moscow was because they always believed that the German army was invincible.

After the defeat at the Battle of Moscow, the myth of the invincibility of the German army was completely shattered, and countries began to believe that the German army was not invincible, and began to believe that they could also defeat the German army. ”

"Yes. As I said earlier, faith is more important than gold. Sometimes confidence is even more important than an airplane tank. ”

"You're quite right. I'm going to finish reading that book tonight. Also, I will not say anything like Company A and Company M are strong, so powerful that they are invincible, and more importantly, I will completely shatter such thoughts from my own mind. ”

"That book helps everyone to shatter that kind of thinking, and it helps us to build up the confidence in our minds to defeat those industry hegemons. We will invite the directors to write down their experiences after reading the book, and ask everyone to absorb and internalize the ideas and spirit. ”

"Good. ”

"Next, let's talk about the third thing. Xu Xincheng deliberately paused, and then said: "Brother Chao, this matter is very important, we need to solve a big problem, and we need to completely solve this big problem within a month." ”

General Manager Li also has the habit of taking meeting notes, from the first thing the two discussed, he began to keep a notebook, at this time, he stopped writing, looked at Xu Xincheng, frowned slightly and said: "Uh...... , please say. ”

Xu Xincheng deliberately added that sentence just now, in order to give General Manager Li a wake-up call and let him be mentally prepared.

"We have to solve the big problem of H6 once and for all. Chairman Lucy asked us to clear all the unsalable inventory within a month. ”

As soon as he heard H6, General Manager Li immediately showed embarrassment, and when he heard the second sentence, his face became even more ugly, and he shouted in surprise: "Ah!

"Brother Chao, please rest assured! It is possible to clear all the inventory within a month. Chairman Lucy has developed a complete set of solutions for us. First of all, we will upgrade the operating system of H6, the new operating system has three intelligent algorithms, which can reduce the load on the chip by up to 35. ”

General Manager Li was surprised and curious and asked, "Intelligent algorithms?"

"Yes. Those customers who have already purchased an H6 phone can improve the performance of their phone by about 35% as long as they upgrade the system. As for those consignment phones, when the phone is enabled, it will be directly upgraded to the latest version of the system. In this way, we can solve the problem of poor chip performance in disguise. Chairman Lucy will talk to you about this in detail later. ”

General Manager Li said happily: "Okay." It's really good!"

However, he was only happy for a second or two, and his face changed back to an embarrassed look, "But, even then, it will be difficult for us to clear all the inventory in a month." Now, the reputation of the H6 is very poor, and it is difficult to sell it. ”

"In accordance with the instructions of Chairman Lucy, we will launch a series of promotional policies, including another 30% price reduction, etc. We will discuss the specific plan in detail at lunchtime. In short, we had to clear all the slow-moving inventory within a month. ”

"Wouldn't the company lose a lot of money if the price is cut by another 30?" General Manager Li frowned and thought for a moment, and then lamented: "More precisely, it will lose more money." According to the previous calculation, our total loss will reach about 300 million, and I just estimated in my mind that if the price is reduced by another 30, the total loss will be at least 420 million. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa suddenly, looked up to the sky and sighed, the expression on his face was very painful, and he asked, "Have you read the investigation report on Saturday morning?"

"Looked. Xu Xincheng could only answer truthfully.

"Alas, what was lost this time was not only money, not just three or four billion yuan, but also the reputation and credibility of the company. That loss is even greater, immeasurably great! This time, I really became the company's great sinner! It was a complete defeat, the biggest defeat of my life, and as the commander of this battle, I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Xu Xincheng hurriedly relieved: "Brother Chao, this matter ......"
