Chapter 221: How hard it is to get out of the mud without getting dirty

The next day, while Li Yinan led people to Siam, Su Yuanshan also presided over the weekly meeting for the first time this year.

In the past, when he and Chen Jing were not there, the weekly meeting was usually presided over by Wan Yongliang, vice president, and Liu Hongyan, administrative director, after all, the main thing that stayed in the science and technology park was the largest in the administrative department. As for scientific research, Xi Xiaoding is likely to chat casually with a few bigwigs at the breakfast table, and deal with it and it's over.

————

In the words of later generations, he became a Buddhist boss.

After all, the current R&D here in the science and technology park is not in a hurry, and the progress is not like when EDA was first developed, and you can see the code advancing every day - at that time, Xi Xiaoding had to arrest people and scold him every morning.

"Let's talk about this month. Su Yuanshan looked at the reports sent from Xinghai, Mei Jie and Zhongxin, and frowned a little deeply: "It seems that the summary meeting of the last quarter hasn't been held yet, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen said that he would summarize it when she came back. Wan Yong nodded and said: "The main reason is that everyone has been running around since the beginning of the year, and Lao Wang is still squatting in the Special Zone and can't come back." ”

Yuanxin's meeting system is similar to that of later technology companies, except for special circumstances, there is almost no time for all-staff meetings. Usually there are weekly meetings and monthly summaries, and then the more important ones are quarterly meetings.

In addition to this, each department, especially the R&D department, has its own meeting system. However, the meetings of the R&D department are generally group-type technical meetings, and maybe a rise can pull a group of people to discuss for half a day.

The reason why the quarterly meeting is important is that on the one hand, it involves the quarterly financial report, and on the other hand, it needs to cooperate with the financial reports and progress reports of other holding companies to summarize the overall situation.

Therefore, quarterly meetings are generally given one to two weeks' notice to be as full as possible.

"Then wait for Mr. Chen to come back, I'll briefly mention it. ”

Su Yuanshan put down the report and took a sip of coffee: "The first quarter was a bit unfavorable, and the cooperation between Xinghai and Meijie was not good...... Well, the main problem is still on the side of the sea of stars. ”

Su Yuanshan sighed as he spoke: "idsoftware's group of birdmen, it's annoying to always skip tickets." ”

Quake and VOODOO, who were given high hopes by Su Yuanshan, did not play a dream linkage - although the two cooperated very well, but due to the history, the listing was a year too early and did not catch up with the good publicity time, so it was a little left out in the west.

IN A SENSE, THE BIRTH OF VOODOO HAS TO FACE A POWERFUL ENEMY - PS.

Today's PS has gone through several promotions and has received the support of a large number of independent game manufacturers. When it comes to non-exclusive games, Sony's policy is lenient. For exclusive games, Sony's policy is even more eager to directly subsidize them......

In this case, it has actually caused VOODOO+PC, which has become a funny situation of a PS opponent. Plus VOODOO was released a little late...... Therefore, one step behind, one step behind.

At this time, Yu Yuru said with a smile: "However, domestic game companies have slowly developed, and they have been living a very nourishing life recently." ”

"Well, it's kind of a leifeng. Su Yuanshan sighed with a smile: "It's just that this has affected Mei Jie's side, and it has caused Mr. Chen to be anxious over there." ”

"Hehe, Lao Chen's family has a big business, and his motherboard shipments this year can add up to more than one million pieces on both sides. Wang Yongliang said with a smile: "Last time I went to the Special Economic Zone, I saw that they were all engaged in laptops. ”

"It's because I'm working on a laptop, so I can't afford to lose money on the graphics card. Su Yuanshan said: "I still want him to make a dual-architecture notebook, but I'm embarrassed to mention it now." ”

The so-called dual-architecture notebook is naturally Su Yuanshan who wants Chen Daohua to have X86+windows on his left hand and YX+linux on his right hand, and secretly secretly darken Chen Cang from the mobile PC.

Now, with the tireless promotion of Yuanxin and others, the function called Fly Linux public release has been greatly improved and improved. And with the continuous addition of various compilers and tool software, it has been able to initially meet the needs of office and design.

For example, in Yuanxin, Xi Xiaoding's team has already switched to Fly Linux, and it is only a matter of time before other development departments are completely replaced.

And the sooner the YX+ Linux architecture is launched in the notebook market, the better, and another important reason is that so far, the laptop is largely a "luxury office tool", if Linux+ Far Core can meet the needs of the office, and the price is cheap enough, there is a chance to gain a firm foothold in the notebook market when it has not yet taken shape.

It's just that now Chen Daohua is dragged down by the graphics card, and Su Yuanshan has to rely on him to push the USB interface in the future, so it is inconvenient for Chen Daohua to make another risky move, so he can only take his time.

......

"Finally, let's go back to my phone. ”

After Su Yuanshan complained about the performance of a cooperative enterprise, his expression became heavy: "Lao Wan, in the latest brand value survey, the brand value of Yuanxin did not reach the expected height. And in terms of sales alone, except after the peak of the release day...... Our sales volume as a whole has remained tepid. ”

After speaking, Su Yuanshan looked at Wan Yongliang.

Now that Chen Jing is gone, Wan Yongliang is the boss of the company, and he is also responsible for brand management and marketing. Now I haven't sold my opponents, not to mention, the increase in brand value has not met expectations...... Wan Yongliang naturally wants to talk about it.

Wan Yongliang pursed his lips and nodded cautiously: "Since the beginning of this month, we have been analyzing. ”

Su Yuanshan nodded at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Brand promotion, let's put it this way, how difficult it is to get out of the mud without staining, how difficult it is for our Yuanxin to stand out. Our Yuanxin is purely affected by all domestic manufacturers......"

"Starting from the big electronic products, from the black-and-white TVs that can be assembled by electrical repair shops for three or four hundred yuan, to the single players and radios produced in the Special Economic Zone, and even to those leather shoe factories and down jacket factories...... All domestic products are currently taking the road of low-cost popularization. ”

"Under this general trend, let alone mobile phones, as long as it is a domestic product, it will be subconsciously considered as not good. It is not so much that we are improving the brand of Yuanxin, but in fact, we are resisting pressure for the label of 'domestic'. ”

"We also did advertising, and we were looking for CCTV, this kind of prime time after the news broadcast - but other users will make a very simple comparison, and the domestic brands that we advertised at the same time are more than half cheaper than imported ones. Then users will naturally think, why do you have to make a fuss like imported goods? What kind of big-tailed wolf is pretending?"

"Coupled with the mentality that the moon is round abroad, it has invisibly brought a lot of pressure to our brand value promotion. ”

"I couldn't see it when the production capacity was tight before, and the user was thinking about whether to buy it or not. But now that our production capacity has come up, our peers have also increased the speed of launch...... The common people will think. ”

Su Yuanshan nodded slowly: "Then what about your countermeasures? Don't tell me...... You have the intention to kill the thief ... ”

Wan Yongliang shook his head: "We mainly rely on BP machines and VCDs to analyze - after all, Yuanxin is the number one who dares to stand up and fight imported goods." ”

Su Yuanshan looked at him: "What is the result?"

"The result is that Mr. Shan still has to rely on technology leadership. ”

(Oh, it didn't explode.) )
