Chapter Ninety-One: A New Direction, Micro Hard Disk Drive!
The initial list of Polestar executive equity incentives has come out!
After careful discussion with Xia Mingde, Xia Yu comprehensively considered the position, ability and worksheet, and finally determined the specific reward standards of the current 11 high-level executives, this time temporarily divided into 3%.
Among them, Liu Mingsheng and Yang Chunsheng have the highest proportion, reaching 5 per 1,000, which is more than 700,000 according to Polestar's valuation of 141 million; the second grade is Xiao Wenjing, Li De, Luo Dong, and Xu Jiahui and Fan Pingze, who are about to join, 2.5 per 1,000 per person; and finally Song Xiaogang, Li Xueqin, Zheng Wei, as well as Zhang Kui and Ma Dongsheng, 1.5 per 1,000 per person.
It doesn't sound like much, but this is only the first time, it was Xia Yu who proposed it from his own shares to transfer, which is considered a pure reward, and the remaining 7% of the option pool will also count these veterans, but the distribution time and proportion will depend on it.
Of course, these will not arrive immediately, and there are still a lot of procedures required for restructuring, and it is expected that it will take a while to complete.
But in this way, Xia Yu's mind and courage still make these executives who are much older than him very excited. After all, Polestar Electronics has been established for less than half a year, and it is still in the thriving stage, and the future prospects are immeasurable!
After finalizing this matter, Xia Yu rushed to a teahouse to meet Xu Jiahui and Fan Pingze.
Speaking of which, it is also a factory with about 60 employees, but Chunhui is several times more expensive than the new Polestar factory that came over not long ago. Why?
The reason is very simple, Xu Jiahui's ambition and strength are not entirely in factory management at all, and one core is the industrial design team led by Fan Pingze.
Xia Yu really found someone to understand, Fan Pingze is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, but because of his old appearance, he is generally called "Lao Fan", and he is also one of the masters who can name the industrial design of the Nanyue electronic digital circle, and has held the position of design director in many large factories.
But he's also a bit of a weird person.
It's a bit of an exaggeration, but at least you have to look at the right eye. Xu Jiahui has partnered with him for several years, and he belongs to the kind of eye-to-eye, and he was also pulled out to start a business at the beginning of the year.
Fan Pingze really waved his arms and directly set up an industrial design department led by himself, composed of two design engineers, structural designers and three product engineers!
As for Xu Jiahui, he was also full of confidence at that time, equipped them with qualified hardware equipment, cutting machines, injection molding machines, etc. are all up to date, and he was given enough permission to study the real thing.
Although the R&D cycle of Xuanyin MP3 is longer, it can also be called a very high level of industrial design and manufacturing level in domestic MP3!
Xia Yu also values this the most.
So when he received a call from Xu Jiahui that it was confirmed that Fan Pingze had agreed to join Polestar, I couldn't help but throw a fist in excitement!
This is one of Polestar's biggest shortcomings at the moment, and it has finally filled in another one!
The teahouse that was agreed was near Xu Jiahui, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon when Xia Yu asked the driver to send him over, which was tea time.
Fan Pyeong-taek himself is the kind of person who is obsessed with technology and design, but his figure is unusually burly. Xia Yu swept over, it is estimated that he can be more than 1.85 meters, the key is still a very strong body, and his forearms are so thick that they really catch up with the thighs of many teenage children!
But this person didn't have a fight, he smiled very heartily, and he didn't feel angry when he saw Xia Yu for the first time, so he greeted him directly: "Mr. Xia is here, do it quickly!" I'm Fan Pingze, just call me Lao Fan." ā
Xia Yu also smiled and said: "Mr. Fan is polite, it is better for me to see you than to hear about it!"
Xu Jiahui's heart knot had been completely opened at this time, and he also joked on the side: "Old Fan, you don't know that Xia Yu has really studied a lot of information about you! This kid has just entered high school, and you are worried about your daughter who is in junior high school!"
Fan Pingze has been with Xu Jiahui for a long time, and his temper is basically the same, so he laughed and scolded directly: "You rotten Xu! But how can I remember that your daughter just happened to be in high school......
Okay, it's no fun to go on like this, you all have daughters, so you have to guard against me, no! Xia Yu stopped doing it, and deliberately shouted: "Hey, what do you think of me?
"you!"
After joking and chatting casually for a while, Xia Yu gave them a detailed introduction to the current situation of Polestar Electronics and its next plans, and the two of them were embarrassed.
Compared with strength, foundation and even capital, Chunhui Electronics is much stronger than Polestar when it was first established. I didn't expect that it would only be long before the situation was completely reversed, and I had to admire the means and courage of the young man in front of me.
It's all in the business, how do they not know what Polestar started with?
To put it bluntly, the design and R&D level of the K1 is really nothing, but Polestar has relied on advanced concepts and market operation capabilities to break a path.
This is also the reason why Fan Pingze agreed without much hesitation when he heard Xu Jiahui.
Good birds choose trees to perch on, and Polestar is still lacking an industrial designer like him!
The three of them chatted over tea, during which Xia Yu also officially told them about the preliminary plan for Polestar's restructuring and the reward equity allocated to them.
2.5 per 1,000 doesn't sound like much, and according to Polestar's current valuation, it is more than 300,000, but this mind and future growth space cannot be calculated according to this.
Xu Jiahui collected his thoughts and asked, "We just joined Polestar, wouldn't it be good to count like this......?"
Xia Yu knew his worries, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you can rest assured, Polestar's company culture is to encourage cooperation and progress, encourage striving for excellence, and there is no tradition of seniority, after all, it has only been established for a few months now, who is not a newcomer? Besides, I am very confident in the level of the two!"
"You also call me Lao Xu, it's not good to always call Xu like this!" Xu Jiahui nodded, and asked again: "Then give us another three days, okay?" ā
"That's fine!"
According to Xu Jiahui's plan, in addition to taking cash to repay bank loans and arrears, the factory equipment should be retained, but the office and part of the equipment should be sold. However, they are not a lot of marketing and administrative staff other than the workers, and they should not be unhappy that they will be merged into Polestar with their consent.
The three of them chatted for more than an hour about the development of the MP3 market and the fashion trend, during which Xia Yu "inadvertently" released some views, especially the ideas of popular design elements and materials in the future, which also made Fan Pingze agree.
His big bear-like hand slapped on the coffee table from time to time, but fortunately it was marble and strong!
"But we have such a big market and so many companies in Huaguo, and they are all in the middle and low end. High-end products and profits are still in the hands of foreign brands!" Xu Jiahui didn't know why he was worried about this, and couldn't help but say it.
Fan Pingze had heard him complain before, and added: "The overseas market is also very broad, but we export all white-label machines, and people casually post other brands at a price two or three times higher than our ex-factory price!"
Both of them came from large foundries, and they were deeply touched by this.
Xia Yu also felt a little sympathetic when he heard this, and replied lightly: "Maybe this day won't be too long!"
ā¦ā¦
During the period when Polaris K2 was launched, the R&D department did not relax and participate in the celebration, but under the leadership of Yang Chunlai, continued the development and testing of the second-generation solution, which had progressed smoothly.
This time, the R&D focus is on a higher-end experience-level control system, as well as a more complete firmware upgrade management.
Before joining the formal development of K2, a large part of the research of this new solution had been completed, and now Yang Chunsheng is back to focus here, and Xia Yu has provided him with a lot of functions and experience ideas.
After taking care of Chunhui Electronics, Xia Yu naturally thought of this, and was the first to find Yang Chun to inquire about the progress after returning to the company.
"It's okay.,But the requirements you gave last time have improved a lot of functions.,A lot of real yĆ n have to be redone.,The architecture also needs to be adjusted slightly.,It won't take too long.,A beta version will definitely come out for you in another week!"
"Okay!" Xia Yu was overjoyed, and asked again: "By the way, I don't know if Mr. Yang pays attention to micro-hard disk MP3s?"
"Oh, Polestar wants to make a micro-hard drive, and the market doesn't seem to be that big!"
It is still Apple's iPod that leads the way, and the micro-hard disk MP3 is becoming more and more recognized and liked.
Compared with the ordinary flash storage MP3 player, its biggest feature and advantage is that the storage space is large, in GB units, it is 2G, 8G at every turn, and it can store hundreds of thousands of songs!
Of course, it's not as bulky as a pure hard disk MP3, so it can be said that it concentrates the advantages of both.
This is not an idea after listening to Xu Jiahui's complaints temporarily.
Polaris K2The configuration is already in the mid-range in flash memoryMP3, and it is just a matter of maintaining a smooth upgrade in function, and it can basically gain a firm foothold in this market.
However, it is an established strategy to do high-end machine marketing, so the differentiated choice of micro-hard disk is the most desirable solution.
So after discussing with Xu Jiahui and Fan Pingze, two middle-aged angry young people, I also made up my mind.
"The money in the high-end market is the best to make, the market is not small, the key is that the profit is sufficient, and it can also be positioned with the K series, and then we will restart a series." Well, you can also try to make exports. South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States are not good, at least there is a hot Southeast Asian market. ā
"Well, this is actually not a big problem, the framework is all designed by ourselves, just make adjustments. However, there are some differences in the implementation of specific functions, just let Xiao Gang lead the team to study the performance configuration, and we will go hand in hand. Yang Chunsheng said.
Xia Yu was relieved when he heard this, thinking that having capable people under his command really made him worry-free, and said with a smile: "That's not to give that kid another addiction to dismantling!"
Thinking about Chunhui's side, Xia Yu asked again: "By the way, Mr. Yang, as I told you last time, Chunhui Electronics has officially agreed to join Polestar." They have a good design engineer named Fan Pingze, and they also have a ready-made design team and mold opening equipment, you can also talk to him when you have time, and it will also belong to your R&D department. ā
Yang Chunsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I have heard of this Fan Pingze, the level is good, I must have a good exchange when I go back!"
Xia Yu didn't wait for him to finish being excited and said: "By the way, if you have a shortage of manpower here, you will also bring it up, and then Polestar will conduct a large-scale recruitment to make up all the manpower."
"Okay!"
Yang Chunsheng was even more overjoyed, or this kind of real room-like work is still more suitable for himself!
