Since the first round of word-of-mouth detonation is not over, the sales of the Polaris K1 continued to increase on the second day, reaching an unprecedented 2,900 units.
According to the contract, when each company reaches a certain percentage of sales and then buys goods, the remaining 80% of the payment will be made up, and Polestar Electronics is not able to collect a large amount of cash at this time.
However, because several companies chose to pick up the goods in full, and at the same time added more than a dozen B-level retail partners and two A-class retail partners, these payments plus the margin increased the cash on Polestar's books by nearly 5 million.
At this time, Polestar was founded for a month and four days.
Xia Mingde and Liu Mingsheng are fully responsible for the transformation and merger of Mingde No. 1 Factory. They applied for 400,000 yuan of renovation funds, plus the resale of some of the original equipment, which should be enough for the last batch of updated semi-automatic placement machines and testing equipment.
We aim to complete all the modifications within 10 days, and at the same time complete the training of workers.
Among them, a technician director of the former Mingde No. 1 factory chose to buy out the contractor and leave, and Xia Mingde did not do much to retain him.
Of the remaining 12 contract workers, all but one of them in the testing department has been retained, and dozens of other contract workers have not left after the salary has been raised, and are willing to accept training and return to work.
With the experience of organizing training last time, Liu Mingsheng did not have much pressure to do this.
On the other hand, as Polestar's business continues to grow, the company has also added some new staff, including administration, sales and audit.
However, the head of the marketing department is not yet suitable, and Polestar has offered a salary of 8,000, which has also attracted some people to interview, but they have all been denied.
Xia Yu didn't have to worry too much about this, and a few days after leaving school, he also began to pack up his thoughts. I was also thinking about how to tell my family what I was doing now.
called Zhang Tianhe, and the two made an appointment to meet at the familiar "Love Internet Cafe".
Zhang Tianhe wore a basketball uniform and sneakers, and complained as soon as they met: "Brother Yu, what are you busy with these days?
Zhang Tianhe, this kid has a broken mouth, there has been no fixed name for Xia Yu for so many years, when he was a child, Brother Xia, Brother Yu, Xia Ye and the like came as soon as he opened his mouth, and recently added the titles of Mr. Xia and Boss Xia.
Xia Yu is simpler to him, sometimes he calls him fat, sometimes he calls Tianhe.
The two chose a quiet corner, Xia Yu handed over a can of Coke, and said with a smile: "I'm busy with my uncle, didn't I give you an MP3 last time, how do you feel?"
Zhang Tianhe said while turning on the machine: "I didn't listen to it and was taken by my cousin, I heard him say it's not bad, your uncle's company produced it?"
Sooner or later, I have to let my friends know about this, Xia Yu took over and said: "Yes, I am a shareholder of the company, I participated in the research and development part, and now it is selling very well." β
Zhang Tianhe knew that he had loved to do these things since he was a child, and he didn't say anything about Cheng DΓΉ when he participated in research and development, so he didn't think there was anything wrong, and then said: "Then you are also a small boss now." By the way, I heard from the ocean that Tian Na likes it a lot, and this is very profitable?"
"Earn, you can earn hundreds of thousands a day. β
"Why don't you grab it!"
Xia Yu didn't say much, he made an appointment at the Internet cafΓ©, mainly thinking about playing with friends, he was a little tired from being busy with Polestar Electronics for a while, and he relaxed with his friends.
Zhang Tianhe skillfully landed on "Fantasy Journey to the West" and said: "I'll play for a while, you wait for the ocean and they come and ask them, Tian Na should be able to give you some advice." β
Xia Yu put on headphones and listened to the song, and watched the news on the Internet by the way.
The word-of-mouth of the Polaris K1 has been detonated, and although there are still some obvious negative remarks, it is inconspicuous in the top posts posted by more users.
The most effective thing is Xia Yu's idea to plan, the kind of post that actively lowers IQ and deliberately exposes flaws to belittle Polaris K1, which has been completely refuted by users from all walks of life, and has been manually topped.
In the mainstream media, there are also some articles that report on Polestar's business model, although not comprehensive, but it can also allow discerning people to see this business model.
But Xia Yu knows that the extremely low profit or even loss game is not something that everyone can play. Product quality is the first priority, proper marketing and even timing are important.
Large companies have their own burdens, small companies are limited to vision and technology, and Polestar has at least a period of low-end market exclusivity.
It will almost wait until medium-sized companies such as Chaohua and Meizu follow up and the products of small companies blow out, and the market will enter a period of high competition and accelerate the elimination, but at that time Polestar Electronics will also be able to gain a firm foothold.
In the previous life, it was Meizu and Onda who kicked off the price war.
Interestingly, the relationship between the two companies is that of OEM - Meizu has strong design and production capacity, and made the VX505, which was very classic at that time, for Onda, which has strong capital and market channels, but at the same time, Meizu itself has an identical MP3, named ME.
Therefore, Onda VX505 and Meizu ME are the same product.
It uses Sigmatel3520 decoding chip, 516MB storage space, and the price is 999 yuan, which is the first 512MB mainstream product that fell below the 1,000 mark at that time. At the same time, it is said that under the million-level advertising and promotion fee of Onda, the market was detonated at once.
Since then, the market has fallen into a price reduction frenzy.
This time, with Polaris K1 appearing more than a month in advance, I'm afraid their gameplay will change in advance.
Of course, Polestar's next generation of products is no slouch. There is an uncle staring at sales, and most of Xia Yu's energy is still here.
Soon half an hour passed, and when Tian Na and Lu Haiyang arrived, they unsurprisingly took the Polaris K1 sent by Xia Yu.
As soon as Tian Na met, she said excitedly: "Hey, Xia Yu, this is really produced by your company? It's very good! I read a post on the Internet and said that it is on fire now!"
Xia Yu smiled and said, "I have a lot of credit!"
Tian Na exaggerated: "Wow, Boss Xia is amazing!"
Lu Haiyang also looked at Xia Yu embarrassedly, and after a few seconds, he hesitated and said: "Xia Yu, that, you give me the sister who was taken by my uncle's family and is leaving, or you sell me a ......."
"Sell your head!" Xia Yu hammered over and said, "I'll get it for you when I go back!"
Tian Na also smiled on the side: "Yes, don't be polite to this landlord, this thing must be very profitable!"
The two of them also turned on the phone, Lu Haiyang also opened the game with itchy hands, Tian Na was slow on his side, Xia Yu glanced at it, and actually read the novel on the official website of "Sprout"!
Well, in the past two years, Han Han, Guo Jingming and other post-80s writers have become popular, and many middle school students are fascinated by it. Xia Yu is missing that string, and he doesn't feel it at all.
He opened several foreign capital market and financial media websites and began to "review" some things, and unconsciously his heart was surging. It's a pleasant feeling to see a piece of news and a comment and then test it from a futuristic perspective.
It was almost evening when I came out of the Internet cafΓ©, and a few people walked to the school to play basketball, and they sweated heartily, which felt very good.
At this time, it was almost dark, and the four of them slowly pushed the cart back.
"Have you heard of it, our Chinese teacher may be that Zhou Wei......" Zhang Tianhe is the kind of heartless and good old man, rarely angry with others, and loves to listen and gossip.
Tian Na listened and said directly: "It's not possible, it's already determined." Zhou Wei is very capable, and it is absolutely no problem to teach us. β
Xia Yu's heart moved, no, didn't Zhou Wei teach the third class in his previous life? Although it is also a key class, it is another set of teachers!
The third year of high school should be divided into arts and science classes, which has been decided before, Zhang Tianhe and Xia Yu are in the first class, Tian Na is in the second class, the two classes share a set of teachers, and classes one to four are all key science classes.
It was Lu Haiyang who was alone, his grades were not too bad but he was not top-notch, and the liberal arts he chose was in class 24, and he was not in the same building as Xia Yu. However, his English is surprisingly good, Tian Na said that this is a talent, and he is often used to hit Zhang Tianhyuk.
In the third year of high school, there are 22 science classes, 4 key classes, 8 liberal arts classes, and 2 key classes.
Zhang Tianhe continued: "Of course there is no problem, the master's degree of Southern Normal University, and the book has also been published, there are definitely big beauties and talented women, and there are not many in No. 1 Middle School." β
Lu Haiyang also interjected: "But it seems that her husband often comes to the school to make trouble, have you heard? There is a fourteenth class in the second year of high school in our class, saying that her husband is very ruthless and dares to do it in front of students!"
Zhang Tianhe was even more energetic, "I also heard that the pen man doesn't know what to do, and he is quite domineering, he came to the corridor to make trouble, saying that Teacher Zhou hooked up with students, my mother, it's too exciting!"
This Zhou Wei is indeed a very famous teacher in the school. Last semester, he taught the 24th class of Chinese in high school, and he was stunned to mention the results of a single subject in that class from the bottom few to the top three, and the students were full of praise when they mentioned him.
This is really difficult, the background of the students in the first middle school is very complicated, and there are not a few who have good conditions and good grades, and they are proud in their hearts, so it is definitely not easy to convince most people.
Of course, Zhou Wei became famous in school, more because of her superb husband.
It is said that he is also quite handsome, I don't know why he has such a bad temper, he dared to do it at school a few times, so that Zhou Wei couldn't get off the stage.
Xia Yu didn't care much about this in his previous life, but he vaguely heard Zhang Tianhe gossip about Zhou Wei and a student, and then Zhou Wei left school before he finished this session, and it seems that he was divorced, but he can't remember it clearly.
When Xia Yu got home, it was almost seven o'clock, and the evil smile on his face when he opened the door instantly made him feel that something was wrong.
Sure enough, in the living room, my father and mother all looked straight at him, but only my uncle didn't move.
He vaguely felt what was going on, and said, "Hey, Mom, isn't it time to eat......?"
Lin Xingfang smiled, didn't get up and said, "What's the hurry, besides, if someone gets rich, we should go and eat something good!" After speaking, he glanced at Xia Mingde.
Xia Mingde grinned and didn't answer.
Xia Yu looked at his father, and Xia Mingshun said slowly: "Mingde told you honestly about your affairs in Jixing Company, and praised you to the sky, what is going on?"
To be honest, how much do you say? I must not have mentioned much about my uncle like that, I didn't expect my father to scare people.
However, Xia Yu knew that it was not a way to drag on like this, especially after the start of school, the company's side of the matter could not be avoided. He thought for a moment before finally saying, "Mom and Dad, listen to me." Polestar Electronics is doing very well and has a lot of prospects, and it will help you apply to Stanford!"
He doesn't want to confess that he doesn't want to study abroad now, first, his mother may not be willing to accept it, and second, with this excuse, he won't be watched so closely when he goes to school in the future. As for wanting to be admitted to Huaqing University, just work your own.
Lin Xingfang frowned and said, "Who do you listen to that will help? I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law! You tell me about this Polestar share first! The money you take is all Mingde's, and you also account for a large share, who taught you?"
As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, and no matter how close they are, it is better to explain this kind of thing involving money clearly, so as not to hurt feelings. This is what Lin Xingfang thinks.
Xia Mingde also had to speak: "Sister-in-law, I didn't tell you, I don't have much control here, it's all Xiao Yu staring at! Besides, this is called venture capital, and it is operated like this in the mall, you should also know." β
Lin Xingfang said directly: "Venture capital, what is there to invest in this kid? I know that it is the right thing to give me a good college first, and what do you want to do after learning good things?"
Xia Yu also couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that his mother was for his own good, but now he really wasted time in class every day, and whispered: "Mom, I won't delay my study......"
"You said you just didn't delay?"
"I promise!"
"What's the use of guarantees?"
In the end, Xia Mingshun, who was still the head of the family, stood up and said: "Okay, Xiaoyu will soon become an adult, and learning to eat textbooks at school is indeed outdated, Xiaoyu, you weigh it yourself, don't want to go it alone or do it brutely, many things are not something that can be decided by being smart, especially when dealing with outsiders, ask Mingde more, do you hear?"
He knew what venture capital was all about, and when he inquired with Xia Mingde, he also knew the current momentum and prospects of Polestar Electronics. Of course, in addition to study and research, my son is also so good at business thinking, and I am still full of pride in my heart.
The task of convincing his wife is naturally entrusted to him!
Xia Yu quietly glanced at his mother, who was still frowning, and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
