The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

September 2010, 8, China time.

Gionee is not a small company by any means, and the news of the acquisition spread quickly. In addition, the discontinuation of all Gionee mobile phone lines also spread with the news of the company's acquisition.

The leaders of Wan City and FS City came to the door immediately after learning about this incident.

After all, Gionee brings certain economic effects to these two regions every year. Once there are any major changes to Gionee's mobile phones, it may affect the local economic effects.

I don’t know if the leaders of the two regions had made an appointment, but the leaders of the two regions came to the door at the same time.

Han Chen and Kong Huimin met with the leaders of the two regions in the chairman's office of the Gionee Building.

The two leaders also came to the chairman's office under the leadership of Xie Yijia.

The two leaders were probably in their forties. They looked average and had ordinary temperaments. They were both wearing black suits, white shirts and trousers. They looked no different from ordinary people.

At this time, Han Chen and Kong Huimin were sitting at the tea table drinking tea. When they saw the two people, Han Chen and Kong Huimin stood up immediately.

"The two leaders are the heads of our group. This is Mr. Han and Han Chen from our Deep Blue Group. This is Mr. Kong Huimin, the general manager of Deep Blue Electronic Technology. Mr. Han and Mr. Kong. This is Mr. Songshan Lake Technology Industry. Cui Chaoping, the district director of the park, is Lu Shiquan, the district director of Shunde District, FS City." Xie Yijia introduced.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Kong, I take the liberty of disturbing you." Lu Shiquan was the first to say hello.

"It is our honor for District Chief Lu to come to express condolences in person." Han Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Kong, I take the liberty of disturbing you." Cui Chaoping also repeated what Lu Shiquan said just now.

"It's our honor to urge the district chief to come to express condolences in person. Let's sit down and chat while drinking tea." Han Chen said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Shiquan and Cui Chaoping looked at each other and said.

Then Han Chen returned directly to the main seat, and several people also sat down at the tea table.

"Mr. Han, we received news that after you acquired Gionee, you stopped the production of Gionee's mobile phones. You just stopped the factory. What should you do with the tens of thousands of employees in the factory?" Cui Chaoping sat down. I will speak first later.

"We are urging the district chief to stop production of existing products, not to shut down the entire factory. It turns out that Gionee mainly produces feature phones, but in our opinion feature phones are outdated. If the company does not stop producing feature phones in time, , the company will definitely accumulate a large amount of inventory in the future.

These inventories will become a burden to the company and may even lead to the company's bankruptcy. We have stopped producing these existing products just to prepare for the company's transformation.

In the future, our product lines will all shift to the latest smartphones. I believe everyone should know that smartphones are the big trend in the future. "Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, what will you do if you transform more than a dozen upstream and downstream suppliers?" Cui Chaoping asked.

When Cui Chaoping heard that Gionee was only transforming into the production of smartphones, Cui Chaoping was relieved, but there were still several stones in his heart. You must know that Gionee affects not only Gionee, but also affects more than a dozen upstream and downstream suppliers. .

"As long as they can produce qualified products, we are willing to continue purchasing from these suppliers. If the products are not qualified, there is nothing we can do." Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, do you think we can produce functional phones and smart phones at the same time? This will also give these suppliers a transition time," Cui Chaoping said.

"I'm sorry but I can't help it. The district chief may not know much about our Deep Blue smartphone. Our Deep Blue smartphone was launched in July. So far, we have sold 7 million units in China and 137 million units in Europe and the United States within a week of its launch. Thousands of units.

According to the current sales situation, the sales volume of Deep Blue mobile phones will reach at least 3000 million units in the next year.

Now we are looking for third-party manufacturers to OEM these mobile phones for us, which means that we need to pay a large amount of OEM fees to the OEM company, which is extremely unreasonable for a company. "Han Chen shook his head.

"Mr. Han, doesn't the annual production capacity of Jinzhong and Jinming factories reach 4500 million mobile phones? There is still 1500 million idle production capacity, can't we use this capacity to produce feature phones first?" Cui Chaoping asked .

"I urge the district chief, smartphones are several times more complex than feature phones. After Jinzhong and Jinming transform into smartphone production, it will be great to have an annual production capacity of 2000 million units in the future. According to my estimate, the workers' proficiency is not yet high." Before coming up, the annual production capacity was only about 1500 million units at most.

This production capacity cannot meet the needs of our Deep Blue Group. Deep Blue mobile phone sales will double in the next two years. Our sales estimate for the second year is 5000 million units, and the sales volume for the third year is expected to be more than million units.

It is expected that we will need to expand the factory early next year, and we hope that Wan City will be able to grant us more land by then. "Han Chen said.

Although what Han Chen said was no different from painting a pie, Cui Chaoping felt happy in his heart. If the Deep Blue Group really developed to that point, he would not have to worry about his political performance in the next two years.

"Mr. Han, you don't have to worry about land. There is a lot of land in Jinhu Industrial Park. As for the recruitment problem, we will also help your company solve it." Cui Chaoping said with a smile.

"Please urge the district chief to take more care of me in the future." Han Chen said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely." Cui Chaoping smiled.

After seeing Cui Chaoping ask his own question, Lu Shiquan decided to ask his own question.

"Mr. Han, I wonder what kind of changes Jinli will have in Foshan?" Lu Shiquan asked cautiously.

"District Chief Lu, I can only say sorry to you about Foshan Gionee. We will only temporarily put the after-sales and logistics departments in Foshan, and we will move all other departments to Shenzhen. In the next two years, we will The whole Jinli moved out of Foshan," Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, can't we talk about this?" Lu Shiquan asked.

Gionee Mobile Phone contributes a large amount of tax revenue to Foshan every year. Once Gionee Mobile Phone is moved from Foshan, it would be strange if it is not criticized by the city leaders.

"District Chief Lu, not to mention that it is inconvenient for us to manage Gionee in Foshan. There is no way to meet our talent needs in Foshan. Staying in Foshan will only hinder our future development." Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, you don't have to worry about talents. We can find ways to help you introduce them." Lu Shiquan said.

"District Chief Lu, the talents we want are not ordinary talents. Chief Lu must have heard of Deep Blue Direct Recruitment. Deep Blue Direct Recruitment is a company under our group. Even if we have recruitment channels across the country, there is no way we can meet our demand for talents. To meet demand, we even have to go to other companies to recruit people.

Do you think Foshan can do things that we can’t even do? " Han Chen asked.

Han Chen's words confused Lu Shiquan. How could he not know that Deep Blue Direct Pin is the most popular recruitment platform in the country. Deep Blue Direct Pin has also helped many Foshan companies solve recruitment problems.

What can they do to solve things that even Deep Blue Direct Recruitment can't solve? Lu Shiquan smiled bitterly after thinking about it.

Some people may think that Foshan is a small city. In fact, Foshan is not a small city. Foshan can be said to be a big manufacturing city. Foshan not only has Huang Feihong and Ip Man, but also many top 100 manufacturing companies.

For example, they include Guangdong Jianlibao, Guangdong Xiongsu Technology Group, Guangdong Jinyitao Ceramics Group, FS Yingte Metal, Foshan Haier drum washing machine, Foshan Haier refrigerator, Foshan Fosu Technology Group, Guangdong Shuncheng Ceramics Group, Guangdong Macro, Heng Jie Sanitary Ware Group, Guangdong Meitushi, Guangdong Weiye Aluminum Factory Group, Keshun Waterproof Technology, Keda Manufacturing, Wanhe Group, etc.

There are so many manufacturing companies here. It can be said that Foshan's business environment is very good. Without a good business environment, how can we attract so many companies to settle in Foshan.

But these companies are all engaged in home appliances. It is easy to recruit home appliance talents here, but it is difficult to recruit communications talents.

If you want to develop high-tech things, you still have to go to the Shenzhen market. Even Huaqiangbei can be a few streets ahead of Foshan.

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for answering my question." Lu Shiquan said with a bitter look on his face.

No. 283, Wusha Bubugao Avenue, Chang'an Town, Guangdong.

After Hu Baishan learned that Gionee Mobile had discontinued all existing products, he immediately picked up the phone and called an acquaintance.

"Du~du~du"

"Mr. Hu, why did you call me when you had time?" asked the other end of the phone.

"Lao Zhang, has your company discontinued all feature phones?" Hu Baishan asked.

"Mr. Hu, this matter involves the company's secrets. I'm sorry I can't answer you." came the reply on the other end of the phone.

After Kong Huimin took over, all core employees at the Foshan headquarters were required to sign a confidentiality agreement. As for the company transfer and the discontinuation of feature phones, who spread the news.

Kong Huimin also didn't know, but she was already investigating. However, she wanted to rely on people from Foshan to investigate, but she believed there was no way to investigate, so Kong Huimin transferred supervisors from the headquarters.

At this time, supervisors have begun investigating the matter.

After hearing the other end of the conversation saying that this matter was a company secret, Hu Baishan already had the answer in his mind. In the past, the other party would not hide this kind of thing from him, because this kind of thing could not be hidden for long. Within a few days The incident spread in the mobile phone circle.

Now that the other party actually refused to disclose this matter to him because it was a company secret, he knew that there was more than half a chance that this matter was true without even thinking about it.

"Thank you." Hu Baishan said and hung up the phone.

Then Hu Baishan left his office in joy. He wanted to tell Shen Wei about this as soon as possible.

Gionee stopping production of feature phones is a huge good thing for them.

You must know that the best-selling mobile phone among all domestic mobile phone brands is Gionee mobile phone. Gionee mobile phone's withdrawal from the feature phone market means that there will be a big vacancy in the market. If they can seize this opportunity to seize the market, maybe they can pass this A chance to surpass Gionee phones.

ten minutes later.

Hu Baishan came to Shen Wei's office.

"Baishan, what's the matter?" Shen Wei put down his work and asked after seeing that the person coming was Hu Baishan.

"Mr. Shen, I just received the great news that Gionee was acquired by Deep Blue Group." Hu Baishan said.

Shen Wei couldn't help but frown when Hu Baishan said that Gionee was acquired by Deep Blue Group. In his opinion, Deep Blue Group was a behemoth that was more powerful than Gionee.

It should be bad news for them that Gionee was acquired by Deep Blue Group, but why did it turn into good news when Hu Baishan said it.

"Why is it good news that Gionee has been acquired by a behemoth like DeepBlue?" Shen Wei asked.

"Mr. Shen, you don't know something. After DeepBlue acquired Gionee, it stopped the production of all feature phones. I think DeepBlue is going to bet on smartphones. This is a huge opportunity for us. We can take advantage of this." Opportunity to seize Gionee’s market,” Hu Baishan said.

Shen Wei frowned again after hearing Hu Baishan's words, because in his opinion, this matter is not that simple. To outsiders, Gionee's market share is as attractive as a golden elixir, but in Shen Wei thinks Gionee's market share is like a poison pill.

There may not be any good results from swallowing this poison pill.

First of all, feature phones have developed to this point and there is no longer much profit to speak of, and foreign mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to develop in the direction of smartphones.

If you want to swallow the golden elixir of Gionee, you must invest a lot of resources into feature phones. Once a manufacturer invests a lot of resources in feature phones, then this manufacturer will not have too many resources to invest in other things. .

If this manufacturer wants to make a U-turn in the future, it will have to pay a huge price.

In fact, Shen Wei has long wanted to invest in smartphones, but vivo has invested too much in feature phones. The big ship of VIVO will not be able to turn around for a while.

This was the reason why VIVO in its previous life was launched until November 2011 when it produced its first smartphone, vivo X11.

"Gionee's market is a poison pill. Whoever wants to eat it can eat it. Blind expansion is not good for us. Deep Blue only entered the communications industry this year, but their first product sold out. This Suffice to say they are not newbies.

Have you ever wondered why Deep Blue gave up feature phones immediately after acquiring Gionee?

Firstly, it is recognized in the industry that profit margins for feature phones are thin. Secondly, with the advancement of technology, the price of smartphones has dropped a lot. Just look at DeepBlue’s smartphone pricing.

Deep Blue Group gave up feature phones immediately after acquiring Gionee, which shows that smartphones can bring them more profits. This profit is already large enough for them to give up the feature phone market.

Not only are we not trying to seize Gionee's mobile phone market, but we also want to reduce our investment in feature phones. We want to focus on smartphones. You will never make a mistake by following the strong. "Shen Wei said after thinking.

If Han Chen heard what Shen Wei said, Han Chen would definitely say that Shen Wei is really sober in the world. If anyone blindly expands the production of feature phones at this time, then this manufacturer will definitely become the next Gionee.

In the previous life, Gionee missed the best opportunity for the development of smartphones because of its disdain for smartphones. This led to the decline of Gionee mobile phones not long after they became the number one in the Chinese mobile phone market. (End of chapter)
