Chapter 462 Decentralization, major reforms in the Zhi family!

Unfortunately, even Jack Ma could not have imagined that the consumption potential of Double 12 is still so terrifying.

Xingyi Technology’s Double 12 sales were a hit again!

"Damn, what a loss!"

"If we had known that the consumption power was so strong, Alibaba would have held the Double 12 event."

Jack Ma regretted it very much, but it was too late.

For some things, if you make a wrong move, you lose everything.

Now that Double 12 has become the first launch site for Xingyi Technology, whatever Alibaba does in the future will have to follow Xingyi Technology!
What’s even more terrible is that with Double 618, Xingyi Technology is fully capable of competing with Taobao’s Double and JD’s .

Maybe in the future Xingyi Technology will become a comprehensive e-commerce company and become bigger and stronger!

JD.com alone is difficult enough to deal with, and if Xingyi Technology comes along, it will be a disaster for Alibaba!
Moreover, Xingyi Technology is not just a company. With the help of Xingyi Smart Home, it has attracted a number of major white appliance brands such as Midea, Gree, Haier, Hisense, and AUX!

With the development of Xingyi Smart Home, more and more brands will join!
If this continues, it will be a disaster for Alibaba.

The more Jack Ma thought about it, the more worried he became: "That's not right. Alibaba originally wanted to make a breakthrough in the local life sector and win back a game. But in the end, local life failed, and even the e-commerce sector, which has an absolute advantage, was invaded?"

"How could this be?"

The vice president was also silent: "..."

This year, Ali was like a lost wild horse, running around in all directions.

Especially after Meituan joined Xingyi Technology, Pony Ma started to work on local life.

Put e-commerce aside and focus on developing local life!
We must make Meituan look good at all costs!

To put it nicely, Mr. Ma is decisive.

To put it bluntly, it's the gangster spirit that makes people lose their composure.

In order to retaliate against Meituan’s betrayal, Jack Ma was at a loss.

Wang Yi was not surprised by this.

This is Jack Ma's character.

He likes martial arts, his idol is Feng Qingyang, and his nickname is also Feng Qingyang, which is full of the spirit of the martial arts world.

As for the underworld, people don’t care about the overall situation, but only care about the pleasure of revenge.

If Meituan stabs me in the back, then I’ll go after Meituan!
What is the overall situation? E-commerce? Develop local life first, and then defeat Meituan.

This was the case with Jack Ma in his previous life. He worked for Meituan, Taodiandian, and word of mouth...

Later, when it was still unable to compete, it spent a huge amount of money to acquire Ele.me, but still couldn't compete.

Not only did it not make any money, it also did not recoup its investment, and it almost killed Ele.me...

Now it’s the same routine again.

Being a hero, you can be chivalrous, and at worst you can die early and be reborn.

But when doing business, you can’t be too gangster.

After all, business is not the martial arts world, you have to weigh the pros and cons and put the overall situation first.

It is because he understands the overall situation that Pony Ma knows that Tencent's e-commerce has no future, so he is willing to give up Tencent's e-commerce business completely, hand over Tencent Paipai to JD.com and increase investment. Later, he invested in Pinduoduo and finally made a fortune.

But unfortunately, Jack Ma was too arrogant and refused to admit defeat. He wanted to defeat Meituan at all costs. In the end, the more he did, the stronger Meituan became, while Alibaba became more and more decadent...

It is for this reason that Wang Yi directly invested in Meituan and let Wang Xing consume Jack Ma and Alibaba.

It saves Jack Ma from bothering Xingyi Technology.

"Is there something wrong with my strategic deployment?" Jemak murmured, falling into deep thought.

The vice president had a complicated expression, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

These big guys all have their own tempers.

When you are in a good mood, it is okay to make jokes.

When you are in a bad mood, if you say something wrong, you might end up having to leave.

At the same time, Meng Qingzhen also convened a meeting with the senior management of Xingyi Zhijia:

"The series of products are very successful, especially the Xingyi smart air conditioner and Xingyi smart purifier, which are very successful."

"How are the patents registered? Worldwide."

The person in charge of Xingyi Intelligent Air Purifier spoke first:
"Three months before the launch, the product was successfully developed and we submitted relevant patent applications in major countries and regions such as Xiaguo, the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea. However, patent approval takes time, and it will take at least several months to be officially approved."

"That's good." Meng Qingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good to apply for them all. If you don’t apply, you will be in big trouble.

If Wang Yi doesn't cause trouble for him at that time, he will be too embarrassed to stay there.

As for the formal approval, it often takes several months to one or two years depending on the different types of patents.

After all, all patents need to be publicized and go through procedures. It’s not that you can get registration just because you apply for it.

The advantage is that you also enjoy legal protection during the application process.

The head of the air conditioning department also said: "The relevant patents of Xingyi intelligent air conditioning have also been applied for in major countries around the world."

Patent registration needs to be registered in a specific country and patent fees must be paid to have corresponding legal effect.

There are more than 200 countries in the world, and it is impossible for Xingyi Technology to register in all of them. The workload is too large and time-consuming.

Meng Qing nodded: "Very good, but it is not enough. We must continue to increase our efforts in patent applications. As long as we are directly listed in the countries and regions, we will try our best to achieve full patent coverage. Subsequent patent applications must also be planned in advance."

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

A patent is a sharp sword, and it all depends on who holds it.

If it is in your own hands, it would be great. You can use it to inflict great damage, suppress all competitors and restrict their development.

But if it is in the hands of competitors, it will just be like HTC, constantly being suppressed, losing lawsuits, being banned from sales, and paying compensation...

It can only be said that it is terrible.

Afterwards, Meng Qingzhen gave some other important tasks, and finally left the R&D manager of Xingyi air conditioner and fresh air machine:

"The two of you are staying here because the chairman has given us a big project - fresh air conditioning..."

After the explanation, both managers' eyes sparkled:
"Fresh air conditioning, this idea is amazing and very promising."

"Consumers are getting more and more greedy nowadays. They may not use new functions, but you must have them. Once we launch fresh air air conditioners, fresh air may become a must-have function for air conditioners."

"That's right. With its non-odorous coating and whole-house smart control, Xingyi air conditioner has made a name for itself. If it can also use fresh air, Xingyi air conditioner has the potential to become the third giant on par with Gree and Midea."

Meng Qingzhen nodded: "The fresh air air conditioner will be developed by you all. The patent will be registered immediately. Register as many patents as possible around the world!"

"understand!"

Everyone understands that once the fresh air air conditioner comes out, other competitors will definitely follow suit.

At that time, patents will become nuclear weapons.

Wang Yi thought clearly.

It's not that commercial use is prohibited, it can be used completely, but since you use it, you make a few hundred dollars from selling a fresh air air conditioner, so paying a patent fee of fifty dollars is not too much, right?

What? Don't want to pay royalties?

That’s not impossible, just join Xingyi Smart Home.

After all, if you join Xingyi Smart Home, you must adopt the Xingyi Smart Home IOT module.

Xingyi Smart Home IOT + technical services + solutions + launch on Xingyi Mall costs 100 yuan to the brand, of which the total cost is less than 10 yuan, and one set can make more than 90 yuan.

Even if he doesn't pay the 50 yuan patent fee, Wang Yi doesn't mind. He can earn more and expand Xingyi Smart Home.

Of course, with the smart function, the brand can sell it for 200 more. After deducting the 100 yuan paid to Xingyi Smart Home, it can still make an extra yuan!

All are happy.

If you don't want to do this, that's fine.

Just purchase the filter developed by Xingyi Technology.

Unlike Xiaomi, which only purchases filters from other brands, the filters for Xingyi air purifiers are mostly independently developed and their energy efficiency is comparable to imported ones.

This way, the cost is lower.

If a friendly business uses the fresh air patent and does not want to pay the patent fee or join Xingyi Smart Home, it is also possible to use Xingyi Technology's filter.

After all, the four-in-one small filter of the fresh air air conditioner comes in a box of three, with a total cost of 10 yuan, and is sold to the manufacturer for 60 yuan, with an average filter element costing 20 yuan.

Manufacturers sell it to users for 120 to 180 yuan, with an average filter element costing 40 to 60 yuan.

A box of three tablets can be used for a year, and you can make money every year.

If three filter elements only cost 120 yuan, users will think it is a good deal.

In this way, Xingyi Technology makes money from the filters, the manufacturer saves the fresh air patent fee and makes money from the filters, and users also feel that it is not expensive.

Everyone is happy again.

When doing business, flexibility is key.

Wang Yi will not treat his competitors as fat sheep and slaughter them at will, nor will he force his customers to do anything.

On the contrary, Wang Yi will work with friendly competitors to make the pie bigger and make big money together.

At that time, Wang Yi will only take a part of the profit, and the manufacturer will make the majority of the profit, which will be a win-win situation.

Wang Yi takes a portion of each manufacturer, and when all is added together, it becomes a terrifying number.

The next day, Wang Yi came to Xingyi Smart Home headquarters again and held a high-level meeting:

"As of midnight today, the Double 352 promotion has come to a successful conclusion. Including the return of the event, the total transaction volume in two and a half days was billion!"

"Among them, Xingyi mobile phones sold a total of 307 million units, with revenue exceeding 120 billion!"

"The Xingyi tablet sold 152 million units, with revenue exceeding 40 billion yuan."

"Xingyi TV sold 63 units, with revenue exceeding 30 billion."

"Xingyi Smart Home's total revenue exceeds 70 billion."

"Meiyou clothing, beauty products, maternal and child products, etc., have a total revenue of 50 billion."

"Total revenue of Xingyi Smart Home Ecosystem Brands is 30 billion!"

……

The original Xingyi Smart Home had few products and small sales volume. Not to mention tablets, it couldn’t even compare with Xingyi TVs.

This time, with the full launch and hot sales of products such as Xingyi air conditioners, Xingyi air purifiers, humidifiers, and smart lighting modules, the sales volume of Xingyi Smart Home surpassed that of tablets and reached more than twice that of TVs.

There is no way, Xingyi TV is just one category, but Xingyi Smart Home has multiple categories including air conditioners, purifiers, humidifiers, range hoods, etc.

Typically, sales volume is not enough, so variety is used to make up for it.

"Very good, the Zhijia department has performed well. Keep up the good work!" Wang Yi encouraged.

He knows how promising the future of smart homes is.

The white goods market is already in a state of chaos, and it is difficult to break out.

But with the help of smart home, Xingyi Technology has opened up a whole new track.

It is also very easy to break out of the siege.

But the tablet and TV market is not that simple. To put it bluntly, the upper limit of the tablet and TV market is so high, at most tens of millions of units a year.

Want to break 100 million? Very difficult.

Unless Wang Yi directly launches borderless tablets and borderless TVs, and reduces the prices of tablets and TVs to less than two thousand, the sales may exceed 100 million.

But that doesn't mean much.

The market capacity is limited. If the price can be reduced to below two thousand, sales may surge in the next few years.

But once the market is saturated, there will be trouble later.

After all, tablets and TVs are different from mobile phones.

Mobile phones these days are updated very quickly, with one being replaced every one or two years.

But it’s different with TVs. It’s normal to use one for four, five, six, seven or eight years.

In his previous life, Wang Yi’s hometown bought a LeTV TV in 1999. Except for the boss running away, there were no other problems in the past seven or eight years.

It is for this reason that the annual sales volume of domestic televisions will become lower and lower in the future.

There is no way. Many TVs can last for five or six years without breaking down. They simply cannot break down!

There's no reason to change.

Similarly, Xingyi TVs have been selling well in recent years, but the market will be saturated after a few years.

Therefore, the Borderless TV cannot be launched in a hurry, and the Starry TV can only be sold first, at a premium.

Since the premium price is no longer selling, the company will launch borderless TV to harvest the sinking market.

When all 2,000 stalls are saturated, the entire market will be over.

That is why, many years later, an 85-inch TV would cost two to three thousand yuan.

A 55-inch TV costs just over a thousand!
The market is saturated and big brands are all selling at very low prices. There’s nothing we can do about it.

As for tablets, they are not much inferior to TVs and can be used for five or six years without any problems.

In his previous life, Wang Yi changed his mobile phone every two years.

I have been using the sixth generation of iPad for six or seven years. The outer shell has been broken by drops and many tempered glass films have been broken, but the tablet is still in normal service and I can even play PUBG on it.

It is for this reason that Wang Yi directly cancelled the research and development of the borderless tablet.

Wait until the mid-to-high-end tablet market becomes saturated before launching borderless tablets.

If the Borderless tablet were released now and priced at 999, it would make the iPad obsolete and also give away the Xingyi tablet!

It can only be said that the market capacity of the flat-panel and TV markets is limited and can easily become saturated.

But the ceiling of smart home is high.

For example, air conditioners can be used for several years, but the problem is that air conditioners are a necessity and there are several in a house.

The next few years will be a period of booming real estate, and the sales of air conditioners will also increase day by day.

The same is true for air purifiers, humidifiers, range hoods, etc.

The ceiling of this track is much higher than that of TVs and tablets.

It is for this reason that the press conference was held at the Xingyi Smart Home Headquarters instead of the Xingyi TV Headquarters next door.

"Don't worry, Chairman, we will keep up the good work!" Meng Qingzhen assured, patting his chest.

Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Next, I will give you the greatest authority in the Xingyi Smart Home Department. You can submit projects independently, independently develop and design new smart products, and add new product lines. You can submit them for approval when the time comes. You can also release subsequent new products on your own."

It can be said that Wang Yi has delegated his power.

Initially, Wang Yi was the one who decided what kind of products Xingyi Smart Home would release, how to make the products, and when to release them.

And now, all of them have been handed over to the smart home department.

Let them play and make their own decisions.

When you have a new idea, immediately form a team to brainstorm, make a specific plan, and submit it for approval immediately.

Once approved, R&D funds will be immediately allocated, a team will be formed, and R&D will be carried out.

Once developed, it will be immediately released into mass production.

As long as the innovation is not too outrageous and does not lose money, Wang Yi will support it.

If everything is restricted, the development of the smart home sector will be restricted.

"Thank you for the chairman's trust. We will never let you down." Meng Qingzhen was in a good mood.

Such delegation of power shows Wang Yi's trust in them.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Of course, I have delegated my authority, and the responsibility will fall on you. From now on, all projects will have direct responsible persons, first responsible persons, and second responsible persons. Every manager who signs is responsible. If the project succeeds, everyone will get a bonus. If the project fails, all the signers will be held responsible. Your assessment will also be based on projects, output, and revenue."

To put it bluntly, the power and the opportunity have been given.

But KPI and accountability system are also here.

As a management, it is not acceptable to sign randomly and spend the company's R&D funds lavishly on all kinds of junk projects!

All projects must make a profit, with rewards for generating revenue and penalties for losses.

However, if one is afraid of losses and starts doing nothing and refuses to approve any projects, that will not work either.

The KPI is there.

Every management level has KPIs and internal competition every year and every quarter.

If you don't do any projects and your performance doesn't improve, you will have to resign.

Wang Yi’s strategy is to let all levels of management work hard to achieve KPIs, do more high-quality projects, make Xingyi Smart Home bigger and stronger, and generate revenue for the company!
Semiconductors are too expensive, and the company relies entirely on businesses such as mobile phones, tablets, TVs, smart home, beauty, and clothing to support its business.

It is precisely for this reason that Xingyi Technology was able to basically afford semiconductors without taking out loans in the early stages.

After all, there was sufficient capital in the account before, and I was able to raise money, so there was no need to take out a loan.

There is no need to put your own money in the bank at a low interest rate and then take out a loan at a high interest rate...

But now it’s different. Xingyi Technology has begun to develop in a heavy asset model.

They began to invest in the construction of industrial parks and real estate on a large scale, and began to purchase houses in first- and second-tier cities to be used as employee dormitories.

These projects will also consume a lot of funds and will require mortgage loans.

Fortunately, Xingyi Technology is a high-quality enterprise, and many cities are trying to attract it, providing subsidies and low-interest loans or even interest-free loans.

Wang Yi welcomed this with open arms.

Even let the investment department focus on money.

In the same second-tier city, we will build an industrial park in the city that offers more money and better policies!
Yes, it is so realistic.

Of course, places with poor business environments are not considered. These places have long been on Xingyi Technology’s blacklist and will not invest in them even if you beg them to do so.

Moreover, given Xingyi Technology’s current strength and status, first-tier cities are all vying for it, and other places dare not do anything too outrageous.

After all, Xingyi Technology has strong official support behind it, and no one dares to jump out and make trouble at this time.

Just like there are local tyrants in many cities who dare to stop anyone's business and ask for protection fees, why don't they dare to stop SF Express, SF Express, STO Express and YTO Express?
Their business is spread all over the country, but it has not been affected in the slightest.

The reason is simple. Compared with these giants, the so-called local tyrants are nothing.

Those who work in logistics all made their way through it.

He has money, people and background.

Even if Brother Haonan came with all his brothers, he would still be beaten half to death, and finally kneel down to beg for mercy, crawl out, and even have to sell his house and car to pay the compensation to the logistics giant!
It is not easy to build a big enterprise.

It's like a certain resourceful person who can make tens of thousands of dollars by shopping in a mall, and can extort hundreds of thousands from the hospital by staying in the hospital. He can cheat gods when he meets them, and extort Buddhas when he meets them, and can easily extort tens of millions of assets.

He is truly one of a kind and no one can do anything about it.

Until she encountered a project of an air-conditioning giant passing through her village and wanted to extort a huge sum of money.

As a result, not only did he not get a penny, but his true identity was exposed by the other party, and he was given free meals for 20 years and fined millions.

She is already a middle-aged woman, and it is hard to say whether she can survive and be released from prison in another 20 years.

This is the courage of large enterprises. They will never compromise. Not only will they not compromise, they will fight to the end.

Compared with this, the so-called local tyrants are not worth mentioning at all.

To put it bluntly, local tyrants only bully the weak and fear the strong, and they bully small businesses to death.

Stay away from big companies, unless you want to be wiped out en masse.

It is precisely for this reason that Xingyi Technology's projects across the country are progressing smoothly, and no one dares to obstruct or cause trouble.

As for the local governments, they are all eager for Xingyi Technology's industrial park to be completed and put into production as soon as possible to create GDP and tax revenue, so that they can receive better treatment within the system.

You must know that the funds within the local system all rely on local finances.

Local governments with money can pay monthly, full-term, or even performance-based.

If you have no money, it’s hard to say.

The so-called guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood also depends on whether you can borrow money.

It is normal to delay payment for a few months if you don’t have the money and cannot borrow it.

This concerns the treatment of everyone, local economic development and future, and it strongly supports Xingyi Technology.

This is considered smooth sailing.

After Wang Yi left, the entire Xingyi Smart Home Department entered a new development model.

With greater power, each department can launch its own new projects.

As long as it has commercial value and is submitted, R&D funds can be allocated.

As long as they succeed, the entire business group will receive high year-end bonuses and even promotions and salary increases.

All of a sudden, all the employees of Xingyi Smart Home became motivated.

In other companies, if you want to stand out, you have to rely on the right time, place and people, and you have to wait for opportunities.

I was unlucky and had no chance even after working at the grassroots level for several years.

I finally got an opportunity, but I was in my 30s and the situation was already hopeless. I was not far from being laid off in middle age.

It can be said that this is basically how my life is.

It's sad and lamentable, but it's the portrayal of many people.

Who didn’t have some passion and dreams when they were young?
But I never had the chance to show my talents. Gradually, I got older, my passion cooled, my dreams faded, and I had to lay low...

But it’s different at Xingyi Smart Home.

Relax the authority and anyone with a good project can report it.

If you are worried that your boss will snatch your project away, you can report it directly to Meng Qingzhen, President of the Smart Home Business Unit!
As long as the project is promising, we will immediately approve funds, assign a team, and provide various support.

The proposer is naturally the project manager. As long as the project is completed, he will be promoted and get a raise.

It can be said that this is an opportunity to reach great heights overnight.

In other companies, this is simply not realistic.

Li Si had a good project and reported it to his supervisor Zhang San. Zhang San's eyes lit up and he immediately took it as his own project and reported it to his manager Zhou Er. Zhou Er then found the vice president Zhao Yi...

Finally, it became Zhao Yi's project, and in return, Zhou Er was arranged to be the project manager. Zhou Er also brought Zhang San to work as a team leader.

As for the original Li Si, he had nothing to say and might even be squeezed out.
