Chapter 2911 What’s in the Bag

the next morning.

Zhou Buqi went to the company and made a schedule. Two days later he would leave for Madeira Island in Portugal to start his vacation this year, which would last at least until after Christmas.

However, before going on vacation, there is one more thing to take care of.

It’s about integrating the copycat mobile phone industry.

With Boss Zhou's current status, he would definitely not personally take part in the project. This is really not a high-end project. After finalizing the person in charge of this project and determining the strategic direction and equity structure of the new company, just let them do it.

The candidate he chose was Chen Guohuan, the current M6-level vice president of Ziweixing who is in charge of marketing operations.

Chen Guohuan has strong market development capabilities, but he is not from a technical background and lacks sufficient understanding of Internet products, which means that it is difficult for him to have greater development space in a company like Ziweixing.

I can't even get into the decision-making committee.

If I stay in Ziweixing, my career will basically reach its peak.

Now Boss Zhou has made arrangements for him to have the opportunity to open a stall on his own and be his own boss... This is certainly a good opportunity.

Innovation is dangerous, so be careful when entering the market!

However, as an employee of Ziweixing, Chen Guohuan has seen and experienced too many legendary successes over the years, which allows him to let go of his burdens and follow the footsteps of Boss Zhou without hesitation.

That morning, Chen Guohuan came to report to Boss Zhou.

When Zhou Buqi saw him coming over, exhausted, he smiled and asked, "You went to the south?"

Chen Guohuan said: "Well, I rushed here right after I got off the plane. I received a letter saying that you might have to take annual leave next, so you have to hurry up."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "This year has been very busy, with PayPal going public, and Ziweixing going public. Recently, I have also been working hard for the domestic electric car industry and mobile phone industry, and I have to fight with Qualcomm... I feel like my mental state is not good now."

When Sun Wanran, the female secretary who came to bring coffee to Chen Guohuan, heard this, she sneered in her heart.

I thought to myself, it would be strange if your mental state improved!

I don't know why I went crazy last night, I called all the active female secretaries in the office over. Except Guan Nanqing, Yao Yao and Liang Lexin who have all resigned, Mai Feixue and Yan Qiqi are not in good health, the others are all on the battlefield.

It was as if the emperor was selecting beautiful girls, and they washed themselves and walked forward one by one for him to comment on and show him favor.

At this moment, Sun Wanran recalled the ridiculous scene of last night, and she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast.

Chen Guohuan said seriously, "Well, there is a scientific explanation. The greatest hardship is not physical labor, but mental exhaustion. Farmers and migrant workers work hard all day, but they can recover after a good night's sleep. But mental exhaustion is not an option. Young people are losing their hair so badly now that many people can't even sleep all night long. It's because they've put in too much mental effort. Physical strength can be easily recovered, but mental strength is not. Especially for someone like you, who is responsible for the strategies of so many companies and has such a huge mental expenditure, it's best to take time out every one or two months to go on vacation for a month, otherwise your mental state will definitely be a problem after a long time."

Sun Wanran was slightly stunned, thinking about what happened last night. Boss Zhou did make a great physical effort, but he also gained a lot of satisfaction and gain in terms of mental effort.

Why does it feel like it makes sense?

Is this using physical exertion to make up for the lack of mental energy?

  The law of conservation of energy?

Chen Guohuan continued, "Statistics show that depression has become the second biggest killer of humans, second only to cancer. People who do manual labor never get depression, only those who put too much mental effort into it. We really can't be careless about this kind of thing, we have to be vigilant."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I'm still okay. I have a way to relieve my stress."

Sun Wanran couldn't help but blush again and quickly left the reception room. She always felt that what these two people said was not serious.

Then, he talked about Chen Guohuan's trip to the south to investigate the copycat mobile phone industry.

“Not so easy!”

Chen Guohuan shook his head.

Zhou Buqi asked: "You are an expert in marketing!"

Chen Guohuan said helplessly: "Ziweixing is a formal company. Our market business is all institutionalized and formal. I used to work in Alibaba's Zhonggong Iron Army, which was also an upright business. The copycat phone industry is completely different. It's all unconventional and shady, with too much gangster spirit."

Zhou Buqi said straightforwardly, "You can't do it?" "Of course I can." Chen Guohuan would not back down, "It's just that the initial business development may not be smooth. I am an outsider, I have no experience in making mobile phones, and my working style is completely different. I may not be able to adapt quickly to the unconventional ways over there."

Zhou Buqi said: "The wild way won't work, we must integrate in a formal way. At least in China, we must do it in a formal way."

Chen Guohuan sighed, "It will still be difficult in the short term. I'm not afraid of challenges. I'm just afraid of missing the opportunity and ruining your long-term plan. This time when I went to the south, I realized that domestic copycat phone manufacturers have collectively suffered a devastating disaster in recent years. Many copycat phone manufacturers are going overseas to survive. It's no different from the Internet industry in recent years."

In recent years, the Internet industry has undergone tremendous changes.

Many Internet companies in the PC era transformed too slowly and quickly lost their market share in the domestic market.

  But I have certain strength, what should I do?

Then the only option is to go overseas to seek development.

When going overseas, you definitely cannot go to places like Europe, America, South Korea, and Japan.

You can go to South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other places where the Internet industry is underdeveloped, copy some domestic products and rogue strategies from the PC Internet era, and it will be easy to dominate the world there.

Zhou Buqi's direct subordinates Tang Binchen and Fu Sheng were engaged in this kind of business in their previous lives.

Not just the Internet industry.

The same is true for the gaming industry.

Since the economic crisis in 08, many domestic game companies have gone overseas. Because the domestic competition is too fierce and too cruel, they can only go to overseas markets to compete. 40% of the social games on Facebook are from domestic game studios.

The copycat mobile phone industry is the least competitive group in the domestic mobile phone industry.

When surviving...

This is very interesting.

They have become the vanguard of domestic mobile phone manufacturers' overseas expansion.

Unfortunately, the general strength of these companies is too weak, and they don’t have much talent. They are doing very poorly in overseas markets. Even in places like Pakistan and Bangladesh where there is no local mobile phone industry, it is difficult for them to survive.

Except for Transsion, which has made a name for itself in the African market, other copycat phone manufacturers have basically been wiped out.

It is very easy to manufacture copycat phones.

Most backward countries have their own local mobile phone brands, and even some African countries can produce their own mobile phones.

The copycat phone manufacturers, backed by such a powerful domestic manufacturing system and such a complete mobile phone industry supply chain system, are unable to compete with the inferior quality mobile phones produced in weak and poor countries.

It's really hard to justify.

There was no other choice but for Boss Zhou to step in.

If he doesn't do it, the resources of such a large domestic copycat mobile phone industry will be completely wasted, becoming obsolete products in society and drowned in the great wave of economic development. But in fact, the obsolete products in China are very advanced products in most countries. The food wasted in China every year can make Africa kneel down and call them daddy.

Transsion alone is not enough.

Transsion is also a small copycat phone company with relatively weak capabilities.

Zhou Buqi must integrate this industry.

The difficulties Chen Guohuan encountered were nothing at all.

"Well, we really need to hurry up. The longer we delay, the more resources the domestic knockoff phone industry will waste." Zhou Buqi has already regarded the knockoff phone industry as his own, and he doesn't want to see even a little bit of waste. "You go back first. I'll give you a result by this afternoon at the latest. The key is whether you are really willing to take on this task."

"catch!"

Chen Guohuan agreed without hesitation.
