Xia Yu rarely slept in, of course, that is, it was more than nine o'clock.

No one at home called him, and his mobile phone was also set to silent, but when he got up, he looked at the sorted materials, which suddenly made him energetic again.

There are two unread text messages on the mobile phone, one is Xiao Wenjing's faint word "um", seeing that the time is twelve o'clock, it is indeed obedient and did not stay up late;

He sent a message back to his friend, he steamed the remaining dumplings by himself, and it was less than ten o'clock after eating the morning financial news, so he planned to sneak to the company by himself.

Approaching New Year's Day, the temperature in Yangcheng also began to drop to seven or eight degrees, and this day was a little cloudy, with the north wind was really cool.

Trotting and walking all the way, it was half past ten when I arrived at the company.

Polestar is in the heat of the day, and several meeting rooms are filled to the brim. There are also a few interviewers who sit in the small glass room next to the front desk to fill out the form, and there are also those who sit on the sofa and wait for the notice, all of them with anticipation on their faces.

Before you know it, Polestar Electronics has more than 100 employees, not counting the factory!

The fastest expansion is the marketing department, which has a retail store in addition to the sales specialist expansion, and then the R&D department, which is a full-staff expansion.

But this has not kept up with the speed of demand, so the recruitment work has not been interrupted, but fortunately, Li Xueqin, who was promoted to the director of personnel, arranged these things very well, and Liu Mingsheng checked them, so he almost never worried about it.

"Mr. Xia is good!" The little girl at the front desk saw him coming over and hurriedly stood up to say hello, but she alarmed a young man waiting for an interview on the sofa on the side, and the other party immediately stood up. Walked directly in front of Xia Yu and stretched out his hand and said, "You are Mr. Xia of Polestar, my name is Wang Hailong, and I am here to interview the financial manager of Polestar!"

Xiao Wenjing doesn't have much energy to take care of the financial chores on Polestar's side. In the end, it is enough to keep an eye on it, so a smart and skilled financial manager is very necessary. She needs to check this, and she will arrange an interview as soon as she comes back.

"Oh, welcome, do you know me?" Xia Yu shook hands with him, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

Wang Hailong was a little excited: "Of course! It's all reported on the news!"

It turns out that his Yanjing and his entourage have indeed been dismantled by the media a lot of things, but this is also the need to maintain exposure.

"Well, welcome to Polestar, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Definitely!"

Speaking of which, Polestar's offices are no longer enough. The workstations are all crowded together, and the pantry and break room that were once separated are now stacked with desks. Although the construction of the headquarters has begun, it will be at least a few months before it is put into use, so it is time to expand this area.

After entering the office, Zhang Mei came in to report her work, Xia Yu mentioned it to her first, and then handed it to Liu Mingsheng to star.

"Mr. Xia, today is mainly an engineer from Philips, you said that you want to come forward to entertain you, and the marketing department has two supplementary plans to be approved urgently. Mr. Luo also hopes that you can attend the regular meeting of their department, and the third is the emergency regular meeting of this overseas market plan, which I have notified you of when I received your email last night, and it will be held on time at one o'clock in the afternoon......

"Well, it's hard work Manager Zhang!"

There are a lot of things going on today! Look at Zhang Mei standing there and looking down at Wen Jiàn. The girl now wears some light makeup, her hair is coiled, and she wears a professional suit. It's a lot more beautiful than when I was in the factory hut.

He couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Mei, you've been getting more and more beautiful lately! How is it going with Mingsheng? Did you say you met your parents last time?"

Zhang Mei is waiting for his instructions. I didn't expect Xia Yu to suddenly be so teasing, and his face turned red. Then he whispered: "Well, Mingsheng said that he would go in the spring next year...... Get the certificate!"

"Hey, that's a great thing, this kid is still hiding it from me!"

Zhang Mei and Liu Mingsheng are both the backbone veterans of Polestar, and they are also the first wave of people Xia Yu met after his rebirth, and he is naturally happy to see them come together.

"Mr. Xia said that he laughed, he will definitely call you the chairman when the time comes!"

By the way, I will also attend Luo Dong's regular meeting, there have been many things in the past two days, and there are many things to discuss with him. What time is it?"

"Ah, it's almost begun, eleven o'clock!"

……

Zheng Wei doesn't share much for Luo Dong, she is a practical person, and Luo Dong, who has rich theory and experience, naturally supports most of the responsibilities of the marketing department of Polestar Electronics.

But that's not all. The maintenance of retail partners around the world is a long-term job, and the planning of the "Sniper Seven Plan" and the overseas market planning that Xia Yu has made up his mind to enter are the current focus, and in addition to preparing for the CES exhibition, he can't be idle for a moment.

Fortunately, there are also a few capable people in the department, and Xia Yu fully supports them - although he did not speak at the regular meeting of the department, he also made a cadre of employees very encouraged.

No way, Xia Yu's popularity on Polestar is too high, the live video at the K2 press conference has been engraved into a disc and circulated internally, and many new sales professionals have been deeply attracted during sales training. Even the two IDs of "Call Me Mr. Rich" on the forum and Xiao Wenjing's "Call Me Queen" are the most popular.

After arranging the task, the two returned to the office alone, and he couldn't help but say first: "Mr. Xia, K2 has been on the market for half a month, and the total sales have exceeded 70,000 units, of which 256MB accounts for 69%, 512MB and 1G space are 20% and 11% respectively, which is a good start!"

Since the "Cold" commercial and the music became popular, the follow-up promotion of Polaris K2 has become a lot easier.

At the same time, Qi Yue, the business manager of Juding Advertising Agency, who is a fan of Polestar, is also very responsible, and "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" and "Avenue of Stars" have entered the mid-fermentation and hot period, and the promotion is very smooth.

Xia Yu nodded and said: "It's really good, but the first wave of momentum hasn't passed yet, the first month of listing is the focus, and I have to work hard for you." ”

Luo Dong didn't dare to take credit, and said busily: "It's still our product is good, if you want me to say that Mr. Xia's credit is the greatest!"

"Yo, you're going to be a sycophant!" Xia Yu smiled and handed him the materials he had sorted out last night. He advised: "This information is not easy to come by, you go back and study it with others." Let's make sure that a trader cooperates. After all, it will take time for them to contact overseas channels, and when the time comes, they will be able to take advantage of the momentum of CES to fire the first shot!"

Luo Dong took the more than 30 pages of A4 paper with the fragrance of ink. After a brief glance at the title, he was very surprised, and said happily: "This is a good thing, Mr. Xia, rest assured, I will definitely do it properly next!

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it, but there's still a long way to go. But there will come a day!"

"Hmm!"

Luo Dong ordered takeout for lunch, and he didn't eat a few bites, he was really shocked by the information Xia Yu brought. After all, I don't know about foreign analysts, and the credibility of this detailed information is really not comparable to those domestic research institutions that are trying to sell money.

By the afternoon regular meeting. In front of other senior officials, Luo Dong was the first to fully support the plan for overseas markets.

"In my opinion, let's choose Kenny, after all, their channels and professionalism are very strong, let's not cooperate with the plan, just according to the brand agency. ”

"I don't have an opinion, the main thing is that we don't understand!" Xu Jiahui rarely showed a smile, and said: "But as long as this side is decided, I can finalize the affairs of the foundry immediately, and ensure that it is reliable!"

These are his old jobs. There are hundreds of MP3 factories in Nanyue, and there are a sea of acquaintances.

Xia Yu grinned: "Hey, Uncle Xu is the best!"

Having an executive team that can take charge of the team on its own comes into play. As long as many things are made, the implementation will save a lot of worry.

Luo Dong quickly communicated with Duan Ping of Kenny & Co., and politely rejected the terms of cooperation he proposed again. Instead, they opted for an agency model that retains the brand but does it at its own risk.

In the negotiation, the information given by Xia Yu played a crucial role. Among them, the qualifications, strength, and coverage of local agents in several Southeast Asian countries are described in detail, which makes Duan Ping amazed. I don't dare to think about it anymore.

The two did not delay for a moment, and soon agreed on the list of the first batch of docking agents in the six major Southeast Asian countries - Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and other places!

The strategy agreed by the two sides is to open the market with Polaris K1 first, the first batch of 100,000 new machines to be launched, the FOB price is set at 430 yuan, and the final retail guide price is equivalent to 550~600 yuan, which will be negotiated by the local retail channels.

This is also because transportation and other matters are arranged by Kenny & Co., and advertising and promotion in the local market are also handled by them and the retail channels.

Although this price is slightly higher than that in China now, considering the cost performance of K1 and the cost of export tariffs, as well as the average price of MP3 that is now popular in these markets, it is already close to the lowest price.

As for those miscellaneous MP3s that used to sell only four or five hundred, they weren't originally Polestar's target.

This model is actually equivalent to Polestar Electronics exporting to overseas markets at a low price, while maintaining the brand at its own risk, because Polestar still guarantees a channel policy that cannot be sold and all recycling, as well as a 100% warranty policy for returning new phones.

Although Duan Ping was still a little worried about this, he received a lot of money and was in a very good mood.

And where is the cost performance of K1, as long as the time comes to publicize it well, send out the top chips of Hyundai and Philips, and arrange a few auditions and promotional activities, it should also be able to open up some markets.

Xia Yu also arrived when the contract was signed, and there was a vice president of Kenny & Co., and the two parties officially signed a six-month agency contract, for which Polestar directly paid an intermediary fee of 6 million yuan, and the others were calculated separately.

But it can be regarded as a happy event, and after the end, Duan Ping came up and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Xia, I wish Polestar a good start in Southeast Asia!"

The cliché is right and likeable, Xia Yu replied with a smile: "Please also ask Mr. Duan to bother more!"

He's looking forward to it now!(To be continued......)
