I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 555, Sales!

Xintiandi Plaza, Apple flagship store, was crowded with people.

Ever since Apple’s new product launch, consumers at the flagship store have been crowded.

Just because everyone is very curious about a mobile phone that can take pictures, what does it look like?

After many people walked into the flagship store, they saw mobile phones, MP3 and other products placed on the table. These are Apple's latest products.

As for other products such as computers and notebooks, as well as old mobile phones, they are classified on the other side.

It can be said that the entire Apple company is now marketing around new products. If the old products can be sold, they will be sold. If they cannot be sold, they will be displayed there.

In the cashier area, there was already a long queue, and many people were already paying with cash or bank cards.

Many consumers were stunned when they walked in here.

What do you say?

Apple mobile phones are really powerful, and MP3 players are really attractive. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is not unaffordable.

In Hong Kong Island in 3, after the advent of MP, the era of the Internet was about to emerge.

However, the vernacular spoken here is not the Cantonese vernacular spoken in Baiyun City, and is somewhat different.

However, now this report card is about to be snatched away by Apple.

There is no doubt that Huaxing Company will definitely be kicked out and will no longer be able to dominate the mobile phone best-selling list next month.

The four girls bought a lot of food and prepared to cook a stove at home.

In fact, Tan Xiaolian's English is very poor and she doesn't know many English words.

"Everyone should express their opinions and discuss it quickly. We must deal with this difficulty, otherwise."

After the Huaxing mobile phone was launched this year, its performance was indeed very impressive. For four consecutive months, it ranked first in the global mobile phone sales rankings.

As a rising star, Huaxing Company has indeed delivered a very good report card.

Therefore, they can be said to have shouldered a heavy responsibility and must not retreat.

A newly established mobile phone company basically has everything in place.

Tan Xiaolian is on vacation today and invited three of her best friends to visit her home.

However, Qiu Guanyun said:

"It's definitely not possible to cut prices directly. We have to make some excuses to cover up the price reduction."

Of course, these differences do not matter much. Anyway, language is used for communication, and it is not a formal occasion, so there is no need to care too much.

Baiyun City, Huaxing Company Headquarters.

It was only a hundred and twenty kilometers away. Unexpectedly, the temperature there was about two or three degrees below zero, which was very cold.

At the beginning of its establishment, I have placed high hopes on this company for many years. It can be said that it meets many needs of Huaxing Company by asking people to give money to people.

Because this is the sales ranking given to Apple, PHS, and Huaxing for many years, so that they can know the gap between them.

Moreover, Tan Xiaolian and the others also learned the local dialects: vernacular and Hakka.

This ranking is actually only circulated internally and is not known to the outside world.

Their PHS company naturally has its own flagship products, with stylish design, superior user experience and extraordinary technology. This is the evaluation given by users and is also their company's corporate pursuit.

Therefore, Qiu Guanyun and other senior executives of Huaxing Company were all very worried.

Facing the menacing Apple, although Huaxing Company has only been established for less than two years, it really feels that the mobile phone industry is not easy.

The company was established in June last year.

There are two local dialects in Jiangbei County, one is vernacular, which is Cantonese, and the other is Hakka.

Mainland, Jiangbei County, Ganghuiwan Community next to Binjiang Park.

In fact, this temperature is much lighter than that in their hometown of Yulin Village.

The price reduction strategy was first proposed by senior executives, but was quickly rejected.

Since arriving in Xishui Village a few years ago, Tan Xiaolian and the four of them have gradually become accustomed to the eating habits of Xishui Village.

In the past, when Tan Xiaolian chatted with her leader Fan Sirong, they always spoke in Mandarin, vernacular and English.

"Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with this crisis now?"

China Renaissance was established over many years of investment. Its purpose is not just to compete with Apple, but to strengthen itself and become the leading technology company in the mainland.

While Huaxing Company was discussing countermeasures, Bai Doufu also led PHS Company to embark on a new challenge.

Moreover, they have to maintain second place and cannot become the bottom among the three companies.

For a product like this, the competitiveness is definitely maxed out.

Qiu Guanyun didn't say the threat later, but everyone understood it.

In this troubled time, I never thought for many years that the two products of Apple mobile phone and MP3 would go crazy.

You know where their hometown is, A Cui called back two days ago to ask if it was snowing.

It's December now, and the temperature outside has plummeted to three degrees above zero. It's so cold that you have to turn on the stove.

There was no other way. They just took out MP3 players and a new version of a mobile phone, a mobile phone that could take pictures.

Originally it was a hot pot, but it had to be called a hotpot.

In the conference room, as the person in charge of Huaxing Company, Qiu Guanyun looked at the executives in the audience with a serious face and said in a deep voice.

But since 1984, several polytechnic universities have been established in Xishui Village over the years.

Tan Xiaolian began to study by herself to take the exam, and Fan Sirong helped her. In addition, she often went to training classes after holidays, so her academic performance soared very quickly.

Finally, in September this year, Tan Xiaolian was admitted to the adult undergraduate class of one of the polytechnic universities.

Although it is only an adult undergraduate class, Tan Xiaolian cherishes this opportunity very much and will go to class whenever she has time.

She didn't do it for the diploma, but for the knowledge.

In addition, she is a factory supervisor herself, and Fan Sirong often takes her with her to communicate, so she learns quickly no matter what subject it is.

After all, her desire for success is far beyond the average person.

Therefore, she worked very hard, whether it was attending classes, working, or learning dialects, so she grew up very quickly.

Today is a rare day to rest and relax, so Tan Xiaolian is also open to eating, drinking and having fun.

The four of them sat together, watching TV and chatting.

While chatting, the topic of MP3 came up, and A Cui couldn't help but say:

"Many people in our factory have bought MP3 players. They are really good and cool. When I listen to them, I find them very interesting. Those songs can be put into that small box without a CD?"

"Yes, yes, I also think MP3 players are very powerful. They all say that no one likes wearing headphones. Do you know that? It's so awesome!"

Azhen also joined in, Yanzi didn't say a word, but nodded.

Tan Xiaolian was busy cooking, listening to Azhen and Azui chatting there.

However, while the two were chatting, they encouraged Tan Xiaolian to buy an MP3 player.

Among the four people in the living room, only Tan Xiaolian is the winner in life.

He has a house, a car, a mobile phone, and his salary is extremely high. In fact, a salary of two thousand yuan is not high for Tan Xiaolian.

She often stays with Fan Sirong and is already very familiar with the salary standards on Hong Kong Island.

So she yearns very much for the life on Hong Kong Island, or in other words, she yearns for the wages there.

As for life, she has never been to Hong Kong Island, but she has heard Fan Sirong complain about the houses on Hong Kong Island more than once.

Despite this time and space, the houses built by the Wharf Group over the years have not been very small.

But even so, Fan Sirong felt small.

In the houses on Hong Kong Island, every inch of space is utilized to the extreme.

As we all know, the descendants of the dragon have a tradition, that is, after moving to a new home, within a very short period of time, the originally empty home will soon be filled to the brim.

It's obvious that those items should be thrown away, but they don't look broken. Although I don't know what their use is, it would be a pity to throw them away quickly, so I don't want to throw them away and continue to store them.

Therefore, the houses on Hong Kong Island are becoming more crowded in this vicious cycle.

On the contrary, the houses in Jiangbei County are really spacious.

Anyway, Fan Sirong herself likes the river view room in Ganghuiwan Community very much, because the balcony here is very large and you can see the beautiful Beijiang.

In fact, the water flow of Beijiang River can only be said to be average.

However, hydropower plants and dams have been built downstream, so the water level upstream is very high.

The widest part of the entire river is more than three hundred meters wide, or even more.

"Buy MP3? I don't need it. I don't have enough time to spend on it. How could I put my time on this?"

Tan Xiaolian shook her head and said while eating.

When the three Yanzi heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

They all said that Ah Lian was possessed by Xie'er, and that three sentences were inseparable from studying.

Everyone is used to this.

Anyway, it's rare to get together, so just eat well, play happily, and don't care about anything else.

A few days later, Fan Sirong suggested that Tan Xiaolian buy a computer.

why?

Because computers are modern office software, Tan Xiaolian always reports on work with those reports, which makes Fan Sirong feel a little behind.

Now is the time to get exposed to new things.

"By the way, I suggest you buy another MP3 player by the way. You can copy the learning materials on the Internet to the MP3 player. Then you can listen to English at any time and study how you want."

Tan Xiaolian was immediately surprised by this and quickly asked many questions.

Knowing that MP3 was of such great help to her, Tan Xiaolian certainly would not miss it.

buy!

There are already a lot of English original learning materials on the Internet. Even if there are not, Fan Sirong can copy them back from Hong Kong Island.

Anyway, there will be no shortage of such audio resources.

At that time, after she has MP3, she can listen to English anytime and anywhere by herself.

Didn't she feel inferior to her poor English listening skills before? Also said the accent is very bad.

Fan Sirong cannot always help Tan Xiaolian, so the latter must be independent and self-reliant.

Acui and Azhen didn't expect that Tan Xiaolian would slap themselves in the face so quickly and spend a lot of money to purchase an MP3 player.

But it should be said that such a device in Tan Xiaolian's hands is not a device for entertainment and listening to music, but a device for learning English.

Maybe, maybe, it's probably because of this attribute that MP3 sales are very large.

Apple has really reaped a huge dividend.

For many years, I never thought that MP3 would sell million units in just half a month.

The data is simply exploding!

For many years, I have been a bit surprised by this kind of data. After all, the standard of living in the world should not be that high now, right?

But in fact, once MP3 was launched, it was immediately favored by the market and attracted widespread attention.

If Apple's factory estimates were not wrong and the factory was not asked to produce more MP3 players, the half-month sales volume would not have been million units.

But higher data.

As for Apple mobile phones, the data is not that explosive, but its unit price is higher. It sold 2.3 million mobile phones in half a month, which is already very impressive.

Based on this, Yi Jianbo, the head of Apple, urged factories in Baiyuncheng, Xishui Village and other places to speed up production.

Ensure quality and quantity, and complete production tasks!

Now is the time to race against time, so there is no intention to hold the annual meeting or anything like that.

Production is more important!

Take advantage of the current wave of enthusiasm and seize the time to produce enough products, sell them, and make a lot of money.

Because the heat passes quickly and will not stay forever.

Moreover, PHS and Huaxing will definitely catch up and take countermeasures.

It was the end of December 1985.

Today, Tan Xiaolian received a call from A Cui.

"Hey, is this Alian? Have you eaten? I want to discuss something with you..."

Apple's factory recruitment announcement has come out, and A Cui is very excited.

Because the salary is very high, she wants to participate in this interview, but the requirements are not low.

Must be a skilled worker.

However, A Cui herself was the kind of person who was just messing around in her previous factory, so she faced this opportunity.

To be honest, A Cui has no confidence.

Hearing such a thing, Tan Xiaolian was also stunned for a moment.

Since she is her best friend, Tan Xiaolian thinks she should help.

The specific work content is not available, but the specific requirements have been announced.

This part of the work was exactly what Tan Xiaolian had worked on before.

Then there should be no problem if Tan Xiaolian takes some time to teach Acui, right?

After all, in Apple’s current recruitment plan, the salary of ordinary workers is 1,200 yuan a month.

The monthly salary for skilled technical workers is 1,500 yuan.

With such a salary level, not to mention A Cui, even Tan Xiaolian herself is also very excited.

After all, ordinary workers have such salary levels, wouldn’t supervisors’ salaries take off?
