Chapter 544 - Sales Broken Table
Why did the Apple mobile phone take the world by storm when it first came out? On the one hand, it is technology and brand effect. Another important reason is its epoch-making keyboardless design.
In the era of a hundred schools of thought for smartphones, looking back at the previous generations of Apple, its exterior design is actually very ugly. But at the time, Apple's shape could be said to be super sleek and eye-catching.
It's a pity that a cat has appeared, and the cat is more fashionable and advanced in appearance.
In addition, the company has always intended to create a cat culture on Weibo, and promote the development of the cats circle of friends and cloud cats and cat sucking friends, so Weibo has a large number of cat lovers.
As a result, after the new cats came out, they captured the hearts of a large number of users from their appearance and culture. Not to mention anything else, just the logo of the cat's paw has been loved by many users.
As for the cat's advertisement, it is because the company has not come up with a better idea, so it is better to use the original. is like the Xuanmai chewing gum that can't stop at all, the same stalk, changing the scene, changing the protagonist, and changing the story to shoot several models.
It's actually quite good to make a series, and wait until there is a better idea to change it.
At this time, Tan Zongqin was worried about expanding the production line, whether to expand it immediately, or to see the offline sales effect next month? If it was expanded immediately, but the sales effect was not good, a lot of money might be wasted.
After all, they are not an assembly factory, and in order to expand, they must also expand the screen and case manufacturing plant, and the equipment investment alone is more than one billion, and the operators also need urgent training.
"One and a half million units were pre-sold in half an hour, and the sales volume will not be bad in the future. Expand the production line immediately, and if there is a mistake in domestic and South African sales, it is a big deal to sell to other countries, in short, it will not be wasted. Hang Yu said.
"Okay, I see. Tan Zongqin nodded.
Du Zhenhua has already established daigou companies in Russia and South Korea, and can open up markets in these two countries at any time if necessary. However, Koreans are very supportive of their Samsung phones, and it is estimated that sales over there will not be too good.
Russia is a good market because of its light industry, especially for cheap mobile phones.
The mobile phone company was building a new factory, purchasing equipment and training personnel, and working overtime to produce it. A month later, mobile phone sales stores in cities across the country were crowded, and there were even long queues in some popular areas.
The cats factory is working overtime, with a maximum of more than 400,000 units a month, and it is still more than 70,000 units short of the goal of 500,000 units. More than 400,000 units were put into sales stores around the country, and they were sold out in less than a day, and a large number of users were waiting to be fed.
"Judging from the current sales volume, cats can already be self-financed and can make a lot of money. On the side of the technology company, the cats themselves can afford half of the R&D funds, and it seems that they can be independent. Hang Yu said.
"Now?" Tan Zongqin was not ready.
Independence is a good thing for him, but it is more stressful after independence.
"It's up to you, you think it's okay, if you can't, stick to it for a while. Hang Yu said.
"So... Be independent. Tan Zongqin quickly made a decision.
On the one hand, he also feels that the mobile phone company has the ability, and he also has the ability. On the other hand, considering that since Hang Yu said it, if he pretended to shirk it, it is estimated that Hang Yu will not take the initiative to bring it up again, and it will be embarrassing to say it himself at that time.
The branch went out independently as soon as possible, which is actually good for Hangyu.
Because the total assets of the headquarters have increased particularly rapidly, so have the shares they manage.
The branch became independent early, and while the value of Tan Zongqin's shares in the headquarters was not very high, it would not be too many shares converted into subsidiaries. If he becomes independent next year, it is estimated that Tan Zongqin's shares in the headquarters are not much, and his contribution will also be great, and he will account for more shares of the mobile phone company at that time.
This kind of thinking is undoubtedly a bit "stingy", so Hang Yu did not force it, but let him make his own choice.
"Then you apply as soon as possible, and I will draw up a new contract here. Hang Yu said.
"Okay. Tan Zongqin replied.
The next sales of cats proved what Hang Yu said.
Garfield 09's monthly sales have not decreased, and the sales of the last mobile phone made by the old factory are also quite high.
Because when the first generation of mobile phones came out, the influence was not so great, and many users were missed. At this time, with the influence of the company and the brand, the first generation of mobile phones was restarted and the market was developed for the second time.
Because the construction of the new factory was too slow to catch up with sales, Tan Zongqin had to find other manufacturing companies to cooperate. Domestic factories were selected for assembly work and case manufacturing, while a European company was selected for the manufacture of mobile phone screens.
Through the form of OEM, in just one month, the output was quickly increased by more than two times, and more than one million units could be produced a month. However, to Tan Zongqin's surprise, more than one million units still can't meet the market!
Cats are selling like crazy in China, and if it weren't for the production restrictions, maybe they could be compared with apples. At least from the perspective of online public opinion, many netizens have set off rounds of competition between cats and Apple.
It's a pity that, for whatever reason, sales are there, and the facts are not refutable in words.
"Made, if I knew that the sales volume was so high, I should have opened a few more factories a long time ago. Tan Zongqin almost burst into foul language, he really didn't expect that the second generation of cats would be able to create such a miracle.
This also shows that Hang Yu's request for publicity is correct.
Soon after, the cats mobile phone company officially became independent, and Tan Zongqin converted the headquarters shares into funds, and added his credit to the shares, and finally owned 3.2 million shares, 3.2% of the shares.
The shares do not seem to be much, but when converted into an amount, it is as high as 300 million.
This is the result of the rapid increase in the total assets of the cats to more than 10 billion after the high sales of mobile phones. So far, the cats have instantly become a masterpiece among domestic mobile phones, and Tan Zongqin has quickly become popular on the Internet.
However, Tan Zongqin, like Hang Yu, was not interested in the media and refused all interview invitations. And Tan Zongqin didn't hold any press conferences, he just silently did a good job.
His stake will not remain static, and as long as he works hard, he can increase his stake in the future.
In addition to Tan Zongqin's shares in the mobile phone company, Hang Yu also fulfilled his previous promise and gave more or less shares to every engineer involved in the research and development of mobile phone screens.
Fu Yunze received a total of 1 million shares, and Xie Wujin received 600,000 shares. Luo Bin and Teng Yunju each have 500,000 shares...... After that, the merit of the engineer was relatively small, and the number of shares held by the engineer also decreased rapidly, with a total of more than 14 million shares, or 14.60% of the shares.
After the engineers signed the contract, they were all in high spirits and devoted themselves to the research work more passionately. At the same time, their success has also led to the envy and motivation of other engineers, software engineering departments, and the entire technology company has been revived.
