Chapter 22: The Great Upheaval
Polaris K1 officially entered mass production, and a big stone in Xia Yu's heart also fell.
However, there is still one decisive task to be done, and that is product sales. Whether it is channels and publicity, Polestar Electronics has no one who can directly arrest it at present, so it has to come by itself.
He believes that the sound quality level of the Polaris K1 and the price that exceeds expectations will definitely be able to deal another blow to the already surging MP3 market.
However, in the absence of sufficient computing for large-scale channel construction and advertising, it still takes a time to open up the market space of K1.
He has always had a core idea in his heart about this matter.
In fact, Polestar's production plan was developed at a very valuable time.
This time is only a week away -- the electronics exhibition held in Pengcheng on July 25, the full name is the 63rd National Electronic Products Exhibition and the 2004 Huaguo (Pengcheng) International Electronics Exhibition.
In fact, this exhibition is not very authoritative. Although it has the name of "international", it is far from the real international large-scale electronic consumer exhibition.
However, it is an official exhibition hosted by the National Science and Technology Electronics Association and the Pengcheng Municipal Government, and hosted by the Pengcheng Economic and Technological Development Zone.
Xia Yu's goal is to make Polaris K1 famous at this exhibition and sign most of the contracts directly!
This step was crucial for the nascent Polestar Electronics, otherwise it would have been very difficult for the new brand to get to market quickly.
The usual way is to spend a lot of money on advertising, but this is not the 90s of the last century, and the advertising price of the mainstream media has reached a frightening level, which is by no means affordable for the current Polestar Electronics.
Moreover, at present, Polestar Electronics has less than 100,000 cash on its books, and even if most components only need 10%~20% advance payment, the current assembly rate of about 800 units per day in the factory can only last for ten days.
Xiao Wenjing has warned Xia Yu more than once that the company's finances have reached a precarious stage. If you can't get the payment from the channel or terminal seller quickly, you won't even be able to pay enough wages at the end of the month.
This is a battle that can only be won and not lost.
He came to Xingru Advertising Company again.
Zhang Ru received a call from him in advance and asked him to meet directly in the office.
I have to say that the decoration of the office of Xingru advertising planning company is indeed more gorgeous than that of Polestar Electronics.
The layout and size of the two offices are about the same, but in addition to a spacious hall, there is also a coffee room of more than 20 square meters, which is arranged in the style of a Balinese beach.
In addition, all corners of the office are appropriately decorated with some modern sculptures and spray paintings, which makes the whole company full of artistic atmosphere.
Zhang Ru's office is not large, but it is also neatly furnished, and the large bookshelf is full of all kinds of design management books, which looks pleasing to the eye.
"It's so much prettier than I am, I'll appreciate it later. Xia Yu said as soon as he entered the door, and then his eyes turned to Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru is the kind of woman who knows how to show her charm.
It's a black and white two-color suit again, but it's different from the previous two times, and it's also matched by her with a different taste. Today's this one is very formal, and the feeling of a strong woman is coming.
She sat behind the desk and stared at Xia Yu, didn't get up, and said lazily: "Boss Xia seems to be in a good mood! Do you want me to rush you to design Polestar's VI?"
To be honest, for a small business like Polestar, it is basically enough for ordinary sales to connect with customers at the manager level. But after all, it's a neighbor's company going up and down the stairs, and she's also interested in this young over-the-top boss, so it's kind of a personal star.
"That plan is not so anxious, just do it on schedule", Xia Yu pulled a chair and sat down, and said: "I have something new I want to ask you for help, and I don't know Xingru's salesman, so I can only find Mr. Zhang, it seems that you are also very idle!"
Zhang Ru was angry with her, and said angrily: "You are just free, I'm almost busy here! Wait a minute, I'll introduce you to our salesman!"
"Don't, I'm going to tell the beautiful boss!"
He smiled shyly, but he was not selling off, and quickly said the purpose of this time.
"Is it as simple as that to shoot a poster for a flat poster?"
"No, there's a post-design, and you have to take care of the printing zuΓ²!"
In order to make the name of Polaris K1 at the upcoming electronics show, his first plan was to make a large HD poster that is 18 meters long and 12 meters wide.
Xia Yu had also been in contact with many people in the advertising industry before his rebirth, and of course he knew that this kind of business was really nothing, and it was impossible for an advertising company CEO to stare at it directly.
However, he thinks that in the future, Polestar will inevitably find a long-term advertising agency, and since it is fate, it is not bad to choose Xingru. At the speed of Polestar Electronics, even if it is a small business now, but in the future, are you afraid that there will be no big advertising list to hand over to Xingru?
Zhang Ru couldn't laugh or cry when she heard what he said, so she called a business manager to come in, remembered Xia Yu's request and let people go out.
Xia Yu didn't have to stay long, and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your strong support, Polestar will definitely take care of Xingru's business in the future, I won't admit it." β
I don't know if this sentence is Yan sΓΉ or ridicule, Zhang Ru shook his head, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhang, can you reveal how old you are this year?"
"Seventeen years old, I'm about to get three years old!" said the man who had already left the office.
Yes?
Zhang Ru never thought that it was this answer, in addition to being tender, how could this little ghost look like a seventeen-year-old when he behaved like a person doing things? He was only two years older than Shanshan, how could he be so much worse?
She really couldn't understand it.
β¦β¦
As the CEO of a company without a car, Xia Yu is now commuting by bicycle, and he looks like he is exercising for about forty minutes.
It was past eight o'clock when he got home that night.
Lin Xingfang was watching TV in the living room, and saw that he was down for a while, and he was really busy at home for a while.
But fortunately, with the uncle as a shield, Xia Yu could only silently say to the uncle in his heart that he couldn't help it.
After simply heating up the leftovers, seeing that his father hadn't come back yet, Xia Yu went back to the house to turn on the computer to plan the exhibition.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang, it was Zhang Hongsheng's call!
Could it be that there is new news?
In the past few days, the policy and market discussion about the "831 limit" in the media has begun to cool down.
Under the "planning" of Xia Yu and Lin Xingfang, Xia Mingshun's popularity also rose to a very high level with the publication of one report after another, becoming one of the most influential experts in the field.
But Xia Yu has been paying attention to the officialdom trends in Yangcheng.
In the previous life before rebirth, due to compliance with the national policy and the will of the provincial high-level, the entire case was quickly investigated and verified, and the procedure was quickly initiated.
The case progressed very quickly, and by the 11th, several relevant high-level figures were taken away for investigation, and on the 13th, Lin Zesheng was also taken away from the school by police officers for being involved in a serious bribery case, and was finally imprisoned.
However, because Xia Yu persuaded Zhang Hongsheng to submit the materials in advance this time, I don't know if there will be variables in the whole incident.
Xia Yu answered the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang." β
Zhang Hongsheng's irrepressible excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xia Yu, I just received the news, and it's done!"
"Oh, what's going on?"
"The main people involved in the case have been taken away!"
Zhang Hongsheng said a few names, which were also in line with Xia Yu's impression, they were all the main officials involved in the case in his previous life.
This news spread rapidly in the officialdom and real estate circles of Yangcheng and even the entire southern Guangdong!
Because he didn't really pay attention to it in his previous life, at most he just watched the news and listened to his mother's chatter, so Xia Yu didn't remember the officials who fell in the case in his previous life, only these two big heads remembered. But listening to his introduction, it seems that there are more people!
This Zhang Hongsheng, what kind of information is in his hand!
"Ah, what about Huang Jiyuan of Kaiyuan Real Estate? and Lin Zesheng"
"There's no news from my side, but those two can't dodge, and they can still escape?"
Also, it's a mess of some of my own concerns.
Originally, Xia Yu was just convinced that his father's research direction was correct, and the will of the provincial leaders was also determined. But such a big officialdom turmoil, I am afraid that it is not only a piece of information that will be revealed, but there must be a very complicated officialdom factional struggle behind it.
But Xia Yu can't manage so much, he just wants to help his father get through this hurdle, and he doesn't have to get a professor's diploma two years before he was reborn.
Today is only the 22nd, according to the progress of the previous life, Lin Zesheng will be taken away from the office of the School of Economics of Nanshan University in front of many people in a few days at most. In addition, my father's fame is now soaring, and the level of the paper is also genuine, so the professor evaluation at the end of the month should not be a big problem!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia Yucai said, "Then I'm here to congratulate Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Hongsheng's voice on the other end of the phone was suddenly suppressed: "Xia Yu, this matter has nothing to do with us." That information is also anonymous, and I have a way of extracting all the connections from this matter, and you don't even know about it. Do you understand when I say that?"
Xia Yu subconsciously nodded and said, "I understand, I don't know about this matter at all, and I don't know Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Hongsheng is still at ease with him, after all, judging from the investigation situation, his purpose is very simple, it is nothing at all, and no one will suspect him. And after these two contacts, he also saw that this kid has a calm energy that is rare for adults, which is very rare.
A hint of relief came from the other end of the phone: "Well, you understand. But it doesn't matter if you don't know me, don't stress it. You kid isn't a thing in the pool, wouldn't it be nice for us to get to know each other!"
Xia Yu also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has been promoted, I am just a junior in high school." β
This night was a sleepless night for many people in Yangcheng and even Nanyue Province.
