Chapter 084: Airborne Sales Department
Just selling holographic film projection equipment, even if the entire film market is saturated, it may not be able to realize the construction of the coastline headquarters in Ye Hua's heart, the development of Sangzhou Island, the special undersea tunnel, and the seascape manor-style town on the small and micro peninsula, all add up, without an investment of 500~800 billion, it is impossible to achieve it at all, even if the final investment budget exceeds 100 billion, it will not be surprising.
Moreover, the operating expenses of the headquarters are often higher than the construction costs, and the profits earned from the sale of holographic projection equipment alone cannot afford the huge operating expenses of the coastline in the future.
In the following days, Ye Hua invested in the secret development process of the "holographic operating system", and the holographic operating system is the first main technology product of the coastline in the true sense of Ye Hua's mind.
If Microsoft and Google are the kings of the pan-screen era, then in the next decade, it is imperative for Ye Hua to make Coastline Technology the king of the screen-free era.
Computing holographic technology, the core is still the use of a computer's control and management system resources, the holographic operating system is a platform, its existence can achieve human-computer interaction in the real sense, with the operating system, people can use this platform to achieve the work they want the machine to complete.
The development of a holographic operating system is the core work on the one hand, and Ye Hua also has to develop an advanced AI system, no way, the current AI is too stupid, just to eliminate the wake-up function, for the AI field, it is definitely an epic leap.
Time passed day by day, in addition to Ye Hua secretly developing new products, the construction of the company's new headquarters was also advancing as scheduled.
He Hao has led the work and has now finalized the architectural design firm, with Danish architects Henning-Larsen winning the bid for the design of Shoreline's new headquarters.
More than 30 architectural design firms participated in the bidding, all of which are well-known architectural design companies in the industry, and the top 10 top architectural design companies in the world participated in the bidding, but all of them were defeated.
Henning-Larsen Architects may not be the world's top and best-known architectural design firm, but it certainly is the most appropriate headquarters for Shoreline Corporation.
Referring to the previous works of this architectural design firm, the designer is very creative in the architectural design, using the wavy roof and even the overall design of the building, which can be said to be very creative.
This time, during the bidding process of Henning-Larsen, the project was awarded in accordance with the vision of Shoreline and in keeping with its own undulating architectural style.
Henning Larsen Architects' architectural style was a natural winner for this project, which is one thing, and the inability to build super high-rise buildings on Sangzhou Island is also one thing, and on the other hand, it is in line with the concept of Shoreline Company.
The full-scale design drawings provided by Henning Larsen Architects, whose wavy shapes perfectly reflect the lively, dynamic and ultra-modern style, directly captured Ye Hua's heart with its "undulating charm".
Wave Architects' prime location on Sangzhou Island, with an indoor office area facing the sea breeze and overlooking Daya Bay, is designed with a unique architecture that respects and transcends the potential of the area.
During the day, the shape of a white wave is able to be projected onto the surface of the sea; At night, the distinctive building volume resembles a bright and colorful mountain peak.
During this time, Coastline officially announced its withdrawal from the European market, and the news caused a sensation in the technology circle.
It's making headlines again.
The outside world thought that the coastline company would admit it this time, but they didn't expect to directly announce the withdrawal from the European market, which caught everyone off guard.
Not only the EU Antitrust Ombudsman Vestager was a little confused, but Walt Disney was also a little confused, and as soon as he learned the news, he contacted the shoreline company to ask what the situation was, and then persuaded him in various ways.
Walt Disney once tried to put pressure on the shoreline company, after all, Europe is such a big market, and Walt Disney is constantly scolding Ye Hua for this decision.
But there is no substantive effect, the coastline company has made up its mind, and Walt Disney can't substantially restrain the other party, so he has no choice but to start from other aspects, Ye Hua can easily give up the huge European market, but Walt Disney is impossible.
Vesteg was also a little caught off guard, aren't all businessmen sharp-headed?
Some European media forcibly said that the coastline company will definitely return to the European market, and many voices that sing the praises of the coastline company are also very loud at this time, pointing the finger at the irrational decision-making of the young head of the company's management.
But Shoreline is not a listed company, nor is it included in any capital system, it seems that in addition to a war of words, that's all.
No one can stop it.
……
Ye Hua didn't pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the outside world,
Today just ended a meeting with the company's internal senior computer engineers, holographic operating system and AI two major projects are developed at the same time, although Ye Hua can do it alone, but the efficiency is a little slower, there are such rich resources of course have to be used.
Organize a team of senior computer engineers from within the company and hand over some non-critical modules to them, so that you can improve efficiency and make it much easier for yourself.
However, when he returned to the office from the R&D department, he happened to see a person who stopped him when he was passing through the sales department.
"Cheng Yangze?" Ye Hua was slightly stunned.
The last time I saw him, I was still consuming on the luxury street on Huaizhong Road, and Cheng Yangze still made a deep impression on him at that time, this is a talent in the sales industry.
Ye Hua immediately knocked on the employee who was working next to him and said, "Little chestnut, when did that person join our company?" ”
When the employee next to him saw the boss asking, he immediately looked over and said in an uncertain tone, "Uh...... It was probably last week, it seems to be from the sales department, I don't know the specifics, boss, you should go to the HR department to ask about this. ”
"Got it!" Ye Hua nodded, and then walked slowly in the direction where Cheng Yangze was, this old brother is a talent in the sales industry, and it seems that he doesn't plan to sell underwear, so he quietly followed him to sell technology products.
Ye Hua smiled slightly, the so-called Maxima is often there and Bole is not often, there is never a shortage of talents in this world, what is really lacking is Bole who appreciates talents and a platform for them to display their talents.
But this Cheng Yangze is really a rare talent, he actually passed the assessment of the HR department directly, and successfully parachuted directly to the position of general manager of the coastline sales department.
If Cheng Yangze planned to use Ye Hua's "recommendation letter" to him, the HR department would definitely call the CEO's office to verify, and he wouldn't have found out until now.
At this time, all the cadres in the sales department gathered together, and Cheng Yangze was talking eloquently.
“…… It is important not to make a mistake about who your customers are and what products they are selling, otherwise not only will your products not sell well, but you may not survive because you don't know who your competitors are. ”
"There are too many cases in the history of management in this regard." Cheng Yangze said confidently and calmly, although he was airborne, he was extremely calm, "Kodak, it thought it was selling film, and it didn't use it when it invented a digital camera, and in the end it was killed by Fuji when he got this technology." In fact, it does not sell film, it is a service that helps people record their memories. ”
"If you don't look far, just look at the Huawei we are familiar with, at the beginning Huawei mobile phones couldn't be made, and three presidents were changed in succession until they were in the hands of Mr. Yu. Because Mr. Yu overturned the wrong decision of the previous two presidents to treat telecom operators as customers, and believed that the customers of Huawei mobile phones were the final consumers, so he terminated the cooperation with telecom operators......
At this time, Ye Hua watched with interest, and Cheng Yangze had already seen that the young boss was also behind the crowd, but he was surprised in his heart and instantly recovered to his original state, and then continued to say what he had not finished:
“…… At that time, everyone gasped and wondered, how could they offend telecom operators? Huawei has always been making communication equipment, telecom operators are God, Mr. Yu, as soon as you come up, let Huawei mobile phones say "no" to God!.
Cheng Yangze is also a person with performing arts, and his body language is also very rich in body language and demeanor changes after speaking, and he said: "Facts have proved that we have seen Huawei mobile phones rise all the way today, which has shown that Mr. Yu's decision-making is very wise."
"Because the business logic of Huawei mobile phones and Huawei communication equipment is very different, telecom operators are the gods of Huawei communication equipment, but they are the death of Huawei mobile phones. However, people often can't see clearly. So, don't think that who the customer is is a simple question, even a giant like Huawei can make mistakes, and it's not easy to figure it out. ”
