Chapter 271: Billionaire

Nearly a week passed before the class reunion, and not long after Labor Day, Zhou Liwen said hello to Guo's Shanghai Company and arranged a fairly good job for his old classmate Li Jian and his wife. Li Jian went to work in the logistics company, worked in the dispatching department, and sat in the office is much more comfortable than going to the rain in the wind to drive a bus, and the salary is also considered medium in Shanghai, and more importantly, this job has a certain room for growth, if Li Jian does well, according to the employee reward and training procedures of Guoshi Logistics, it is possible to be a supervisor or department manager for a few years.

As for Li Jian's wife, Zhou Liwen did not arrange it with Li Jian in the logistics company after thinking about it, but let her go to the courier company. Express companies have developed rapidly in the past two years, especially the rapid expansion of network companies, which has promoted the demand for express services. What's more, it's not a good thing for the husband and wife to work in the same company, but it's better for both of them to be separated. In this way, his wife was arranged in the number processing position of the express delivery center, although the work is more tedious, but the income and benefits are much better than the previous as a conductor, and the company also has weekends, so that Li Jian and his wife are very satisfied with this.

For this reason, Li Jian also called Zhou Liwen and sincerely wanted to visit and invite Zhou Liwen to dinner to express his gratitude. However, Zhou Liwen received it, and visits and meals were exempted, and Zhou Liwen himself was so busy these days that his feet didn't touch the ground, where is this time? smiled and told Li Jian that he didn't have to care, it was right for old classmates to help each other, and he would just make an appointment when he was free that day, so there was no need to be so polite.

Zhou Liwen is busy, this is true, the sales of ORz mobile phones are very successful. Just after the second week, the original 8oo inventory was sold out, and the market response was also very good, and the foundries and assembly factories are working overtime to produce, and Zhou Liwen is also closely watching the reaction of other mobile phone manufacturers to the sales of ORz smartphones.

As expected, just a few days after the sale of orz smartphones, all mobile phone manufacturers have 6 continued to announce to the outside world that they will also launch their own smartphones in the near future, including Nokia, Motorola and other mobile phone giants, and even Samsung has announced the launch time of smartphones, among which Nokia showed their smartphone physical sample machine at the announcement meeting, which has attracted great attention once disclosed by the media.

Zhou Liwen was not too surprised by Nokia's quick response. According to what he knew in his previous life, Nokia has always been one step ahead in the development of mobile phones, that is to say, at the same time as Nokia launches new mobile phones, there are often several more advanced mobile phone designs locked in the safe by them, the main reason for this is to be able to maintain technological leadership, and the second is to do its best to tap the potential of the current sales of mobile phones, and create more wealth for the company. Therefore, Nokia announced the style of their smartphones so quickly, which is also normal, and because Nokia responded quickly, it also affected the sales of ORz smartphones, after all, Nokia is still the first giant in the mobile phone industry, occupying the highest share of the market, and there are many users who use and like Nokia.

In this regard, Zhou Liwen has nothing to do, he can't force consumers to buy his own products, right? What's more, the good reputation and strong strength of Nokia mobile phones are obvious to all, and ORz is still very weak compared to Nokia, and direct confrontation is not good for Zhou Liwen.

In later generations, Nokia's failure was not a problem with their products, in fact, Nokia's mobile phone products were first-class in terms of design and hardware, and its failure and the collapse of the business empire were mainly due to the wrong strategy of sticking to closed software, so that it would be abandoned by users.

But now, smartphones have just been launched, and even Zhou Liwen has not yet reached all the open systems for the time being. So from this point of view, in addition to the advantage of being the first mover, ORz still cannot be compared with Nokia in other aspects. However, Zhou Liwen is not worried, even if Nokia officially launches a smartphone at the fastest degree, I am afraid it will be the end of the year or the beginning of next year, in this half a year or so, Zhou Liwen does not believe that his ORZ mobile phone will not be able to attract more users.

However, Zhou Liwen's real opponent soon emerged. This opponent is not Nokia, nor Samsung, but HTC's hTc mobile phone, which he has been wary of before. Only a month after the sale of orz mobile phones, HTC Electronics, which has not responded, held a high-profile product conference in Taihai, in which HTC Electronics announced to the outside world that from mid-August, HTC officially sold hTc smartphones. As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately aroused strong attention from all walks of life, and the IT and semiconductor circles in the Taiwan Strait even celebrated with joy, claiming that this was a victory for the IT and semiconductor industries in the Taiwan Strait.

Because Hongda's advance secrecy work is quite good, coupled with the fact that Zhou Liwen's information channels in the Taiwan Strait are not smooth, and there is Cai Mingjie tossing behind his back, the information obtained by Zhou Liwen is only not much different from the outside world.

hTc launched the smartphone two months earlier than in history, and Zhou Liwen secretly speculated whether this smartphone would be exactly the same as in the original history, or if there were changes. The answer to this question may not be known until the official launch of this phone.

The number of sales in the first month was counted on the night of June 1, and the total sales of ORZ's two smartphones in May were as high as 1o.89 million units, a figure that made Zhou Liwen's friends excited to heart attack.

According to the proportion of factories, sellers, network terminals, mobile, Unicom and other channels, Zhou Liwen's profit per mobile phone is roughly between $175 and $19o. The profit of Sha Zihao's foundry is 3o-35 US dollars, Weizi's channel profit is about 7o US dollars, and the distribution profit of the two major operators is slightly higher, but it is not more than 1oo US dollars. But based on this figure, Zhou Liwen's profit is as high as 1.9 billion US dollars.

Even Sha Zihao earned nearly $200 million by relying on OEM, and this is still on the premise that he did not undertake all the OEM and assembly. Even if some expenses and taxes are removed, he has more than 100 million net profits that will fall into his pocket, looking at this huge astronomical figure, Sha Zihao smiled so much that he couldn't even see his eyes, and he wiped his saliva so hard that he was happy.

In Wei Zi's words, doing this kind of business is even more enjoyable than grabbing money, he has been doing business for so many years, even if he relied on his family's background to engage in land speculation and real estate, he was far less profitable than in this month. But in just one month, Wei Zi went from a quasi-billionaire to a billionaire club, and the currency value was still calculated in dollars. Although it is only a book profit at present, and most of the profits will have to wait a few days to really arrive, but even so, Wei Zi was almost stunned, and without saying a word, he went to Xiangjiang to book a luxury cruise ship, planning to drive it to the sea to show off when the time comes.

As for Liao Yuancheng, Guo Tao, Pang Yishan and Li Dong including TcL, they also got a piece of the pie. When the news reached the United States, Cisco's Chambers was stunned at first, then shook his head and laughed, and then called Scopa's board of directors to ask Scopa to continue to increase support for Zhou Liwen to ensure the follow-up production progress and quality.

Zhou Liwen won the bet completely, and in just one month, his assets have multiplied several times. Although the market sales began to stabilize after the panic buying in the first month, it is expected that the number of sales in June will fall to about 8oo to 850,000 units. But Zhou Liwen did not panic, because this is only the big 6 market, he still has a huge foreign market to occupy, especially the Southeast Asian market is not smaller than the big 6 market, and this channel he began to prepare as early as a few months ago.

On this day, Zhou Liwen was talking on the phone with TcL's Li Dong, and the two chatted about the arrangements for the first batch of exported smartphones in India, Malaysia, Thailand and other places. In order to ensure sales in foreign markets, Zhou Liwen integrated TcL's international sales department with his own import and export company in advance, and made detailed and comprehensive preparations for these markets.

Looking at the success of the ORz smartphone, it is impossible for Li Dong to have no idea in his heart. After all, TcL used to be a veritable leader in the domestic telephone industry, but now it has fallen to the point of giving orZ a hand. But in any case, Li Dong couldn't help but admire Zhou Liwen's courage and decision-making while being jealous, not to mention that Zhou Liwen is currently the second largest shareholder of TcL after him and the president of the group. Moreover, after the exchange of shares between the two parties, Chairman Li is also a shareholder in ORZ Company, and the two are now in a relationship of mutual glory.

"Brother Li, you have worked a lot foreign sides."

"You guy, I still let me run around with a handful of old bones, it's better for you to stay in the country and have a good time." Li Dong is now in India, and because the international long-distance telephone signal is not very good, his voice sounds a little distorted.

"There's no way, those who can work harder. Besides, Brother Li, don't forget that my wife is still pregnant, and she will give birth in two months, how can I walk away at this time? Zhou Liwen laughed.

"Okay, okay, who let me run errands for my life, come on, I won't tell you more, I still have to go to the customer to stare at it, you don't know, this Ah San is too lazy to work, there is no concept of time at all, the real work time is 2 hours a day, if you miss it, he will say that he wants to get off work and rest, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, he is not willing to work overtime." After complaining a few words, Li Dong hung up the phone.

Zhou Liwen hung up the phone with a smile, picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip of tea, but as soon as he took a sip, the phone on the table rang again.
