Chapter 517: The First 3G Mobile Phone
On the 23rd, Zhang Bin came to Tianyi Technology Company in a Humvee.
The current pre-release preparations for the meteorite mobile phone have been almost prepared, and an on-site press conference will be held on the 28th.
This will be the first full-touch screen smartphone in China, the first 3G mobile phone, and the first mobile phone to lead the global trend of handheld entertainment.
In terms of quality and workmanship, the Meteorite mobile phone may not be comparable to Apple.
But in terms of features and entertainment, the Meteorite phone is definitely better than the Apple phone.
In the case of the Android system, Meteorite mobile phones focus on the issuance of large-capacity memory to ensure the entertainment of mobile phones.
And because it is the first 3G mobile phone, the concept of 3G is currently very hot in China, and the meteorite mobile phone comes out in line with the times and will inevitably take the lead.
Zhang Bin came to the company and met Liu Shuqing and Wang Haijun.
The construction of the channel has been basically completed, and Zhang Bin is in charge of Li Jiayi, but Li Jiayi is not directly responsible for him, but is responsible for Liu Shuqing.
Zhang Bin doesn't care too much about channel construction, Li Jiayi's own ability is very good, and he only needs to make a report to Liu Shuqing regularly.
Zhang Bin picked up the final customized phone, which was their highest-spec version.
Turn on the phone, and the boot screen is a small part of the ad they shot.
It cost a lot of money to shoot the commercial, which is currently being played on a loop on major TV stations and websites, and most of them are prime-time.
In order to cooperate with the publicity, the homepage of Weibo also left a large advertising space at the top to advertise the meteorite mobile phone.
It can be said that everyone didn't know about meteorite mobile phones before, but with the recent infinite bombardment of advertisements, basically anyone who watches TV and surfs the Internet has heard of it more or less.
At present, mobile phones are mainly issued with high allocation, and the pre-sale price is set at 2999 yuan, and the cost plus the cost of the channel is about two thousand two, and each mobile phone has a profit of about 700 yuan.
This is not counting the cost of direct stores, in order to cooperate with the sales of mobile phones, there are currently a total of 120 direct stores across the country, specializing in selling products of Providence Technology, and also providing after-sales service, such as repair and mobile phone maintenance.
Full touch screen smartphones are still a very foreign thing for domestic users.
Even though Apple 3G has been on sale for a long time, very few people use it in China.
So if you want people to accept this phone from their hearts, or try to understand it, you have to have something that makes people interested.
With a large screen phone, you don't need to buy MP3 or MP4, and you can download high-quality music and movies to watch anytime and anywhere.
The new mobile games, "Plants vs. Zombies", and "Speed Racing" have also become standard equipment for mobile phones, so that you can have something to do in your leisure time.
Your own browser, your own antivirus, it's all free to use.
Owning a Meteorite mobile phone is equivalent to owning a mobile handheld computer that can be used anytime, anywhere.
At the press conference on the 28th, Zhang Bin of course wanted to attend.
For this moment, they have been preparing for two years.
And now that he has collected all his investments abroad, most of his future income sources will depend on domestic investment.
That's one of the reasons why he wanted the Starfish Park.
Whether Minister Yang will agree or not, he doesn't care.
agreed, he sold it to other companies, making a net profit of more than ten or two billion, if you don't agree, you have to give some benefits, or give me more cheap power, such as issuing a few more gun licenses or something.
and Liu Shuqing discussed the release of the mobile phone, and Zhang Bin came to Hengyuan Group.
The big recruitment at the beginning of the year has been completed.
The company spent money to rent all the upper floors, and the number of people in the headquarters alone has increased to more than 500 people.
And the number of people in the entire Hengyuan Group has increased to 4,000 people.
Among them, Tianyu Media, Tianyu Cinema and Weibo Division are the majority.
Zhang Bin has not been in the company for a long time, and when he heard that the chairman was coming, the heads of various departments came to the entrance and waited.
Seeing that so many high-level executives in the company usually get together, as if they were waiting for someone, everyone was talking about it.
"Who the hell is it, such a big man, so many managers waiting here", a new employee took the papers, quietly poked his head out to look at the scene outside.
"I heard that the chairman is coming back," a man whispered.
"The chairman is coming back?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it.
These newcomers in particular haven't seen the chairman of the board of directors yet.
Zhang Bin's reputation, in China at this time, is no worse than Li Youhong and Ma Wenteng, and even after many appearances in the Spring Festival Gala, he has attracted countless fans on Weibo.
As soon as Zhang Bin stepped into the company, he saw a group of people standing at the door waiting for him.
"What are you doing standing here, nothing to do?" Zhang Bin looked at everyone, his brows furrowed slightly.
Everyone thought that Zhang Bin would be satisfied, but they didn't expect it to be this reaction, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
"Chairman, everyone hasn't seen you for a long time, and I didn't give you a personal New Year's greeting after going to work in the New Year, don't you want to make up for it", Shen Qian saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and stood up and said.
Zhang Bin nodded, knowing that everyone was kind, and said: "I understand everyone's kindness, but don't engage in this kind of formalism, go down and sort out the recent work, and report to my office later."
Everyone left with embarrassed expressions.
Seeing that the high-level executives walked back with gloomy faces, these employees were also silent one by one, and they originally wanted to see the excitement, but now they all buried their heads, pretending to be serious about doing things, for fear of becoming a punching bag.
Zhang Bin took Shen Qian back to the office with a serious expression, and did not say hello to the employees in the office area.
As soon as Zhang Bin sat down, he said: "Show me this year's financial expenditure and personnel arrangements."
Shen Qian handed him what Zhang Bin wanted, and then began to narrate some things verbally.
Zhang Bin raised a few questions about finance, and Shen Qian answered.
After not coming to the company for a long time, Zhang Bin felt that some old problems seemed to have been committed again.
One of the more serious is the reimbursement and public fund reception, after the New Year, the office has been less than a month now, and the public money reception consumption has exceeded 1 million, which is almost catching up with the sum of the reception in the first half of last year.
What Zhang Bin has to do now is to make Hengyuan Group profitable as soon as possible, replace bank loans, and put money in his pocket, otherwise what will he do with his hard work to build Hengyuan Group.
"Who's in charge of the reception?" Zhang Bin asked.
"Usually, Manager Li from the HR Department and Manager Yuan from the Finance Department are in charge," Shen Qian said.
"Shouldn't the HR reception be a matter for the PR department? What is Li Tingting doing? Zhang Bin asked with a calm face.
"This", Shen Qian knew some inside information, but she didn't know what to say.
"Call Li Tingting to me," Zhang Bin said in a deep voice.
Shen Qian went out, and after a while, Li Tingting walked in with a nervous face.
"Chairman", Li Tingting said hello.
"Manager Li, is your public relations department in charge of the personnel reception?" Zhang Bin asked.
Li Tingting hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Then how did Secretary Shen tell me that Li Zhibin and Yuan Hongyu are usually in charge, where have you been?" Zhang Bin asked.
"Chairman, I still have grievances about this matter", Li Tingting pouted and said.
Zhang Bin's tone softened and said, "You say."
"The chairman asked me to be responsible for the project of the construction of the film and television city, at present, the project has completed the initial bidding, and is about to enter the construction stage, the entire public relations department is almost busy with this matter, this year's new recruits are overwhelmed, can only stay in the company to do some basic things, at the beginning of this year, Manager Li said that the public relations department has a heavy task, the personnel department can bear a part, said that as long as it involves the cooperation of foreign companies, it can be handed over to the personnel resources department to be responsible, you know, the chairman of the board of directors, Manager Li is personally recruited by you, I don't dare to be too strong with him, so that's the only way", Li Tingting said.
"So they robbed it?" Zhang Bin asked.
Li Tingting nodded.
Zhang Bin was silent, about the personnel reception, it is a department with a lot of oil and water, because after the general cooperation negotiation, Hengyuan Group will be responsible for the reception, and the employees of that department will participate more or less, which is a thing that many people envy.
Usually, the public relations department is a Qingshui Yamen, and Zhang Bin also wants to give them some convenience.
It's just that it seems that this piece of oil and water is now being taken care of.
"This task is given to you by me, without my consent, no one has the right to interfere, I thought you were an understanding person, how did you become weak in the handling of this matter, go down, think about what is wrong with you", Zhang Bin reprimanded with a calm face, and then waved his hand to let Li Tingting out.
