"Wait......"

Under Zhang Ning's continuous rhetorical questions, Huang Zhang seemed to have grasped something.

"Mr. Zhang, you mean that our Meizu generation is not MP3."

"What do you think?"

Zhang Ning looked at Huang Zhang meaningfully.

"Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean."

Huang Zhang understood, but he still had some confusion, "Mr. Zhang, since our Meizu generation is not mp3, then our Meizu generation, what kind of product is he?" ”

Previously, Huang Zhang and Zhang Ning also discussed this issue.

At that time, when a series of functions of the Meizu generation appeared, Huang Zhang exclaimed, is this MP3?

In fact, it really is.

But now that I think about it, the Meizu generation can indeed be classified as mp3, but you can also classify the Meizu generation as another type of product.

From this point of view, at this time, it can really be solemnly denied in the media, our product is not mp3.

couldn't help but make Huang Zhang's eyes light up.

Anyway, the Meizu generation has so many functions, and it is normal to completely deny that he is mp3.

Even if it was previously defined as mp3, everything could be redefined before it was launched.

If so, it can really be a turnaround.

Even if it can't completely eliminate the doubts of so many media and users around the world, at least, it can solve this public relations crisis.

Only, there is one more problem.

There is no problem in denying that the Meizu generation is mp3.

But the question is, since the Meizu generation is not MP3, then what is he?

When releasing any product, he must position the product.

Like, you produce computers, you make mobile phones, and so on.

In this way, on the one hand, it can give users a clearer understanding of your product, and on the other hand, it will also better promote the product to the target users. If your product can't give a valid definition, as if you don't know what your product is called or what type of product it is, then no matter how innovative such a product is, it may not be able to make users like it.

"Huang Zhang, you asked the key."

The Meizu generation is not MP3, so what kind of product is it.

That's really not a very good explanation.

Do you call him a handheld?

But it's not exactly handheld.

He has some cell phones like those of later generations, but you can't call him a cell phone because he doesn't have a call function.

Or call him a tablet?

This is more accurate, but the current Meizu generation is not fully connected to the Internet. In addition, the Meizu generation of operating systems, including the entire hardware in all aspects, is still very different from the tablet. Naturally, it can't be called a tablet.

The problem seems to be getting a little bit bigger.

This can't be called, and that one seems to have some problems, what is it called?

This gave Zhang Ning some headaches.

At the beginning, Zhang Ning had already considered whether to define the Meizu generation as mp3.

Because, in fact, the Meizu generation has completely surpassed the content of mp3. Moreover, Zhang Ning believes that after the emergence of the Meizu generation, what attracts the interest of users may no longer be mp3. But there is always a type of product to be defined, and in the end, Zhang Ning had no choice but to set the Meizu generation as an MP3 product.

It's just that now it seems that the problem is somewhat serious.

Obviously, MP3 is too low-end, and ordinary users really find it hard to believe that such a low-end product, how can he change the world.

However, Zhang Ning finally came up with a great name.

"Huang Zhang, what do you think, how about the smart machine."

"Smartphones?"

"Yes."

Zhang Ning nodded.

The name smartphone comes from smartphones, but the current Meizu generation obviously can't be called smartphones. But it is clear that after the current Meizu generation has added a new operating system and various software and hardware functions, the Meizu generation has initially shown a certain degree of intelligence.

In this case, it is very accurate to define the Meizu generation as a smart phone.

"Our product itself is very intelligent, and at the same time, it is an electronic product. Just calling him a handheld or calling him an MP3 doesn't fully define our product. The name of the smartphone, I think it can. ”

"Smart machine, smart machine."

The yellow chapter on the side was also silently recited a few times, and the more interesting it was, the more it was smooth.

"Okay, this name is good, Mr. Zhang, it's called smart phone, this name is fantastic."

As he spoke, Huang Zhang kept chewing on the name of the smart phone and said again.

"The word smart sounds lofty. Moreover, the smartphone is a product that can also be quickly switched to our smartphones in the future. This name is so good, Mr. Zhang, we will call it this name. ”

"Since there is no problem, then, just call it this name, you go and arrange it, and in the future, our publicity plan will be promoted in the direction of smart phones."

Zhang Ning commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Huang Zhang nodded immediately, but seemed to think of something, and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is one more thing that is more troublesome. Because we defined the Meizu generation as mp3 before, and on the packaging, we also defined the Meizu generation as mp3. The press conference will be held on the 22nd, and now it will be changed, and I am afraid that some of them are not in a hurry. What to do, whether to postpone the release. ”

"Nope."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"The first time I bounced the ticket, the impact was too bad. Moreover, now is a critical time, and if the ticket is bounced, it will be a fatal blow to us. Don't worry, it's the 20th, the 22nd press conference, the 25th Christmas, and the 26th we officially go on sale. Calculate the time, we still have 6 days, 6 days, and there should be a chance to repack it once. ”

"Time is too tight."

Huang Zhang shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, at present, our Meizu generation has all completed the processing. And the factories we work with require appointments, and it is impossible for our products to be reworked, and they can rework. They have also taken orders from other companies. And, even if they do us a favor, help us change it now and repackage it right away. But the time it takes, at least half a month, in addition, after they are completely foundry, we still need 2 days to ship the product to various places around the world, that is, we can really rework only 3 days, the time is too tight. ”

"3 days."

Zhang Ning's brows furrowed.

This time is really too tight.

"In this way, Huang Zhang, you can communicate with our foundry and try to get them to help you get back to work."

"Okay, but, Mr. Zhang, the hope is not very big, even if there is a factory willing, it is estimated that there will not be much rework."

"You can return as much as you can, go ahead."

Now it can only be like this, Zhang Ning waved his hand and asked Huang Zhang to hurry up and make arrangements.

Two hours later, Huang Zhang returned to Zhang Ning's office.

Mr. Zhang communicated with Weiming Electronics, a subsidiary of BYD, and they agreed. But Weiming Electronics is too short of manpower, and I estimate that they may only be able to rework 100,000 units in three days. ”

"100,000 units, that's too little."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "What about some other electronics companies?" ”

"Most of the other electronics companies are catching up with other products, and they haven't cooperated with us before, so they haven't agreed much. Only a few companies are willing to help rework in the face of our penguin company. It's just that the amount they can accept is only about 50,000 units. ”

"50,000 units, how can it be enough."

Zhang Ning's this time, the first batch is ready to sell 3 million units.

"Nothing else?"

Zhang Ning was a little irritable.

It's been laid out for so long, and when it's about to be released, there is such a problem.

"Nope."

Huang Zhang shook his head and said no.

"Okay, I see, you can go out first."

After Huang Zhang left the office, Zhang Ning looked a little depressed.

Hardware is a big killer.

This made Zhang Ning, who was previously invincible in the Internet and software, feel a little difficult.

Seeing that many media are still questioning the Meizu generation of Penguin, Zhang Ning really wants to quarrel with them.

But in the end, it also gave up.

It's useless to argue now.

If the Meizu generation can't be reworked quickly, it means that after the press conference, there won't be many Meizu generations to sell. And there are not many Meizu generations that can be sold, even if Zhang Ning still believes that the press conference on the 22nd can still shock the world, but this may greatly affect the progress of the Meizu generation to promote the world.

This is not what Zhang Ning wants to see.

After all, whether it is the Meizu generation or the smartphones of the future.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ning has always believed that this is a creative product.

Once this innovation is exposed, it cannot be the first step to completely seize the market.

Well, what you're afraid you'll have to face in the future is countless competitors who plagiarize you.

Just like Apple faced Samsung in the later generations, even, as long as they were given the opportunity, even the domestic Huawei would rise up in the later generations.

If these competitors are given the opportunity to dominate the rivers and lakes in the future, it will be very small.

Alas, forget it, this can be regarded as a lesson for yourself.

Zhang Ning patted his head.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I will feel it for a while.

What kind of smart phone, smart phone or the like is just an idea.

As long as he is creative enough, he can become a hit in the world.

But in fact, it is not.

Sometimes being creative doesn't necessarily make it popular.

Even if there is some potential to be popular, if the layout of all aspects does not keep up, it may not be popular.

For example, the processing agent seems to be a very small link.

However, if something goes wrong, it will affect the whole plan.

These are not things that can be considered by only doing the Internet.

……

Foxconn.

Foxconn is the largest electronics manufacturer in China and Asia.

Since 1998, Foxconn has opened factories around the world, and today, Foxconn has 300,000 employees around the world, including more than 200,000 employees in China alone.

At this time, Foxconn founder Terry Gou and his entourage went to Shencheng to inspect the Foxconn base in Shencheng City.

Shencheng Foxconn Base is a large-scale electronic equipment processing plant jointly established by Terry Gou and Shencheng City. In the past few years, Foxconn has achieved great success in Shencheng City with its open-minded style and excellent business environment. Countless young migrant children have entered Foxconn to work.

"Mr. Guo, you see, our base has expanded by hundreds of acres. At the same time, we regularly cooperate with the local government. It has successively pulled in large supermarkets, a number of commercial banks, and many service institutions around life. A lot of people come here, they all say. Where is this factory, it is clearly a city. ”

Li Yong, the person in charge of Foxconn's Shencheng City base, kept introducing Guo Taiming while driving.

"Hehe, it seems that Manager Li has put a lot of effort into the company this year."

Guo Taiming praised Li Yong a few words, and kept looking at Foxconn everywhere from the car window.

"Manager Li, you're doing a good job. Every time I come to this base in Shencheng City, there are great changes every time. When I came here before, I found that although our factory is large. But our factory still looks like a factory, but now, everything is different. Look at those young people, still in love on the lawn. ”

Guo Taiming was very emotional.

It seems that the idea of spending a lot of money to build a processing base in Shencheng was right.

"Mr. Guo, you have won the award. The reason why our base has developed so well is because of your wise leadership. If you didn't have your wise vision, where would there be the prosperity of Foxconn in Shencheng City. ”

"Hey, Manager Li, okay, why do you talk big, I don't like those sycophants."

"No, no, Mr. Guo, you misunderstood, I really think so. Of course, in addition to your wise vision, it is also inseparable from the rapid development of the country. In particular, in recent years, the rapid development of the domestic Internet and domestic IT, and our business has been continuous, these factors add up, which makes Foxconn a holy place for countless migrant children in China. ”

"Well, the second one you said is right, our Foxconn is indeed inseparable from the rapid development of China."

The two people in the car said that ten minutes later, the car drove to a workshop at Foxconn.

This time, Guo Taiming is ready to personally inspect the workshop.

"Mr. Guo, the environment here is not very good, it is dirty, you are worried, come, please come here."

Li Yong, who had already gotten out of the car and opened the car door for Guo Taiming, said with concern in front.

"Manager Li, you introduced you, leave me alone, this is our own place, is it possible, come to our own place, am I still idle here and there?"

"That's what Mr. Guo said."

A group of people waited and entered the workshop one after another.

"Mr. Guo, this is our No. 78 processing workshop, and this time it is processing mobile phone business. Nokia signed a one-time processing order for 10 million mobile phones with us, and we may be busy until the end of the year. ”

Getting a mobile phone from the workshop, Li Yong introduced the production situation in the workshop.

"I'll see."

Guo Taiming took the mobile phone handed over from Li Yong's hand and looked at it carefully. After a while, Guo Taiming said, "Yes, the processing quality is very good, with our processing quality, Nokia will definitely have to choose to cooperate with us in the future." ”

"Yes, Mr. Guo, our processing quality and processing speed have always been the first in the industry, if you want to process electronic products in large quantities, we Foxconn is the best choice. This piece, Mr. Guo, we are very confident. ”

"Haha, it's good to have faith."

The more Guo Taiming looked, the more satisfied he became.

This Li Yong is good, although he has a set of kung fu for shooting horses, he still has the ability.

"Let's go to another workshop and have a look."

After visiting workshop No. 78, the group went to workshop No. 79 again.

"Hey, this product is."

The products processed in workshop No. 79 are not the same as those processed in No. 78, and they are no longer mobile phones.

That's not the main thing, though.

The most important thing is that Guo Taiming just glanced at this product, and he felt that this product was not ordinary.

At the very least, from the outside, this electronic product is very beautiful.

However, Guo Taiming also found that this electronic product is a little different from mobile phones, handhelds and the like.

He looks like a mobile phone, he doesn't have a keyboard.

It's a little too small to say he's like a handheld.

"Mr. Guo, this product is called Meizu Generation, and it has just signed a contract with Penguin to rework."

"Rework?"

Guo Taiming was a little strange, "Could it be that our Foxconn products have a high rate of anti-work?" ”

"Also, what's going on with this penguin company, I seem to remember that Penguin is just an Internet company, and it doesn't produce hardware."

At the moment, Guo Taiming asked two questions in a row.
