"Diversified development... Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology are really amazing!"
Rebus looked at the hot searches with an extremely complicated expression, and even regretted it:
"I have been an angel investor all my life. I have a sharp eye and have made a lot of money. But I didn't expect that I missed the most powerful Meiyou technology! Alas!"
A sigh of helplessness.
If he had paid attention to Meiyou Technology earlier and invested in Meiyou earlier, he would have already made a lot of money.
But unfortunately, Meiyou’s technology is developing too fast.
Like many investors, by the time Rebus paid attention to Meiyou, Meiyou was already fully fledged. Not only did she have hundreds of millions of dollars in her account, she was also earning tens of millions a day, so she was not short of money at all.
Later, Meiyou's revenue became even more terrifying and its funds were abundant. They began to invest abroad, let alone accept investment.
If that's the case, that's all. Wang Yi has also diversified his development, from clothing and beauty to the mobile phone industry, becoming the biggest rival of Xiaomi mobile phones!
Rebus's head was as big as a bucket: "Our first batch of Xiaomi orders is 300,000 units, and Xingyi Mobile has ordered 30 million chips, half of which are application chips and half of which are baseband chips. It is at least the size of 15 million mobile phones!"
"The first batch of orders starts at 5 million units. It's so cruel!"
"This is all just to cause trouble!"
"You are so tidy and well-stocked, how can I be hungry for marketing?"
According to Rebus's plan, Xiaomi sells for 1,999, and the initial OEM material cost + tax is 1,500, which makes no money at all.
Years ago, we stocked up to 300,000 units, engaged in hunger marketing, and created a gimmick that millions of people would grab, just to make Xiaomi's name famous.
After the year, the material cost + tax will drop to 1,200, and the profit will be high. If we purchase components in large quantities, mass produce, and ship them, we can make huge profits.
But now, Xingyi mobile phones have no morals at all and are directly available in millions of dollars. If Xiaomi is hungry for marketing and runs out of stock, it will be over!
What should consumers do if they can’t buy Xiaomi phones and turn around and buy Xingyi phones?
Thinking of this, Rebus' face became a little ugly, and he immediately called several senior partners to hold an emergency video conference:
"Everyone has seen the interview with Meiyou Technology. President Song directly admitted to diversified development and officially announced the Xingyi mobile phone. In fact, it is a kind of sword, a sword against our Xiaomi mobile phone! How are you going to deal with it?"
Upon hearing this, several senior executives fell silent.
The advent of the Xingyi mobile phone and its large-volume ordering strategy completely disrupted Xiaomi's hunger marketing strategy.
After a brief silence, a partner in charge of marketing spoke in a deep voice:
"I'm also thinking about this. First of all, hunger marketing will definitely not work anymore. We must give up the previous strategy, purchase a large amount of components as soon as possible, mass produce, ship, and seize market share!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the supplier director quit: "No, the cost is too high now. Mass production and shipment are not profitable at all, and it will seriously affect our profit margin. At least until late December, when the cost drops to 1,200, we can
We purchase components on a large scale, produce them, and ship them in January.”
"Wait until January for shipment? The day lilies are already cold. I received the latest news that the prototype of the Xingyi mobile phone has been made. I will test it again and there will be no problem. It will be mass-produced in mid-November and mid-December.
It will be launched soon!”
"Yes, it's too late for us to wait until December for large-scale purchase and mass production. Even if we don't make money now, we have to purchase components as soon as possible, distribute goods as soon as possible, and seize the market!"
"But in this case, I'm afraid all our funds will have to be invested, and there won't be much profit at all."
"We have to increase production even if there is no profit. Survival is the most important thing. Now we need to purchase components on a large scale, increase production capacity, and rush to ship large-scale shipments before Xingyi mobile phones are launched. This will not only increase our market share, but also seize Xingyi mobile phones.
market share, totally cost-effective!”
"No, if there are too many goods and we can't sell them, it will be over!"
"Don't worry, our Xiaomi mobile phones are selling like hotcakes right now. The price/performance ratio is unbeatable at 1999, so they will definitely sell well!"
"You are too optimistic. That's because the Xingyi mobile phone is not on the market and we are selling well. If the Xingyi mobile phone is also sold at a low price and directly cuts off our future, then we will be finished."
"You are overthinking. Xingyi phones may not be sold at the low end. What if they sell for 3,000+?"
"You are too optimistic. We can still sell it for 3,000+. But what if they just sell it for 2,499 to seize the market? Then we are doomed!"
…
Several partners were divided into two groups, and they were furious.
Rebus sighed and motioned for everyone to quiet down:
"What you both said makes sense. But unfortunately, we can't control the pricing of Xingyi mobile phones. All we can decide is Xiaomi's future!"
"If we increase production immediately, Xiaomi can give it a try. It may be an abyss, or it may be a broad road."
"If Xiaomi does not increase production and continues like this, no matter what price it sells when the Xingyi phone is launched, Xiaomi's future will not be good."
"It can be said that if we fight hard, we have hope of winning. If we don't fight, we will definitely die."
Rebus sighed, speaking with emotion and acting with reason: "Okay, that's it, let's vote by a show of hands. Those who don't agree to increase production, raise their hands!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The four partners raised their hands one after another. They were considered conservatives.
Rebus nodded: "Raise your hands if you agree to increase production!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Four more people raised their hands, considered radicals.
"4:4!" Rebus frowned slightly, looked at the partners who didn't raise their hands twice, and said with a smile: "Are you going to abstain?"
"Yes, we haven't figured out what to do yet."
Rebus nodded: "If it's five to four, I also agree to increase production!"
Saying that, Rebus also raised his hand.
He is still very courageous: "If you work hard, you will survive, but if you don't work hard, you will die. I also support increasing production!"
"Okay. Five to four, the resolution to increase production is passed." Rebus took a deep breath:
"The next step is to contact the dealers and increase the order. As for the scale, first... add 500,000 units and deliver them as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Soon, several senior executives went to work and made calls one by one.
"Mr. Tanaka, we at Xiaomi Technology plan to add 500,000 sets of rear camera modules."
"Okay, no problem, Sony welcomes you."
"When can it be delivered? Can it be delivered in mid-November?"
"November? Sorry, it must be late December at least."
"Ah? Why?" Xiaomi executives were shocked.
"It's like this. Xingyi Mobile has placed an order for 5 million rear lenses + 5 million front lenses. Now they are urging the orders. As a result, a lot of Sony's production capacity has been given to Xingyi Technology. Your order is at least
It won’t be available until a month later.”
Xiaomi senior executive: “…”
On the other side, someone also contacted Sharp:
"Mr. Ito, we Xiaomi Technology need to order 500,000 additional screens, yes, they are still of the old specifications."
"No problem, we will arrange it as soon as possible."
"When can it be delivered?"
"It's hard to say. It will probably be shipped in one and a half months."
"Ah? Then it's only been two months since the goods arrived? Why!"
"Sorry, Xingyi Technology placed an order for five million screens at one time, and half of our production capacity was given to them. The remaining production capacity was also arranged for other customers. There is really no excess production capacity."
"This..." Xiaomi executives were desperate.
A similar scene also appeared at Qualcomm.
But Rebus doesn’t know this yet, and he is still full of confidence:
"If you work hard, as long as you add 500,000 yuan to the order of components in November, you can sell 500,000 more Xiaomi phones in December and grab a lot of market share! Even if you don't make money, at least you can make stars.
Yi Technology feels uncomfortable.”
"The price of 1999 has penetrated Meizu's future and can also block Xingyi mobile phones!"
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't make money. As long as it defeats its competitors and squeezes it out of the market, Xiaomi will be the winner!"
However, just when Rebus was sure of victory, a phone call came:
"Boss, something bad is going on. Most of Sony's lens production capacity has been given to Xingyi Mobile Phones. It will take at least a month and a half before they can be shipped to us."
"how so?"
Rebus sighed and felt bad: "It's okay, I'll contact Sony personally later!"
However, before Rebus could contact Sony, another call came:
"Lao Lei, Sharp screens won't arrive in two months!"
"What? All of it was given to Xingyi Technology?" Rebus was furious.
"Yes, Xingyi Technology needs 3 million screens in two months..."
"Oh! I know."
Rebus hung up the phone, feeling a little tired.
Also, Xingyi Technology has a one-time large order of 5 million yuan, with a volume of 1-2 million per month. Sony and Sharp will naturally give priority to Xingyi Technology.
As for Xiaomi, the first batch is only 300,000 units, and the additional order is only 500,000 units. The two batches combined are not as large as the first batch of Xingyi Technology. How does the supplier choose? Needless to say?
"It's over. If the screen and lens are so slow, wouldn't the Qualcomm chip be even slower?" Rebus's face changed drastically, and he felt bad all over.
But what are you afraid of, what will come.
Soon, the partner called: "We are in big trouble. Qualcomm's production capacity has been given to Xingyi Technology. It will take at least three months for the Qualcomm chips we place an order to be in line!"
"What? Three months!"
Rebus' mentality collapsed: "Then the goods will arrive in February next year? We can't wait!"
"There is no way. Qualcomm said that they have to produce five million application chips + five million baseband chips for the Xingyi mobile phone as soon as possible. There are still five million baseband chips that will be delivered in March...within half a year.
, with a large order of 15 million chips, Qualcomm’s newly added production lines at TSMC are operating at full capacity!”
"What should I do?" Rebus was confused.
Big head, too big head!
In the previous life, there was no impact of Xingyi Technology's five million orders. Whether it was Sony, Sharp, or Qualcomm, they all had enough production capacity for Xiaomi.
No matter how much Xiaomi places an order, they can supply it.
But this time, Xingyi Technology suddenly increased its orders by five million, directly taking away all the vacant production capacity.
So much so that orders from Sony and Sharp have been scheduled until next year.
Qualcomm is under greater pressure, with Xingyi Technology placing a large order of 15 million chips within half a year.
Half a year later, there was another big order of 5 million + 5 million for the quad-core flagship processor + baseband!
Suddenly, there was a huge order of 25 million, and Qualcomm couldn't handle it, so it had to ask TSMC to increase its production line!
How can you spare the time to deal with Xiaomi?
Android smartphones just started in 2011 and are still very small.
Whether it is Qualcomm, Sharp, or Sony, their current production capacity is limited, and they dare not expand production too much at once!
You know, adding a production line requires a lot of money, time, and manpower.
If the production line is increased too much now, there are not enough orders later, and the production line is vacant, the loss will be huge.
After all, this wave of Xingyi Technology has basically set the order volume for next year.
There will no longer be such a large customer, and Qualcomm will not dare to expand production too aggressively.
"What can we do!"
Rebus was so distraught that he felt bad all over.
Other senior executives also looked complicated, even finding it funny.
At first, we were still debating whether to increase production, but now it's settled. If we want to increase production, it will take three months.
A mobile phone is a whole. Without Qualcomm chips, Xiaomi mobile phones cannot be assembled.
Even if one part is missing, it won’t work!
Soon, the emergency video conference was held again.
"Three months, three months!" Rebus lost his previous calmness and became as anxious as an ant on a hot pot:
"By February next year, Xiaomi will be finished!"
"No, absolutely not!"
"In this case, I will personally fly to the Qualcomm headquarters to talk to Mr. Jacobs. As for the other suppliers, I will leave them to you. Each person is responsible for one, and no matter what method is used, we must negotiate!"
"We must ensure that the goods arrive within a month. We will be ahead of the Xingyi mobile phone in December and ship 500,000 units, and we can still regain market share!"
"good!"
Mr. Lei expressed his stance, and others responded one after another.
Afterwards, the meeting ended and everyone booked flights and arranged their itineraries, but they didn't feel very sure.
Rebus, in particular, was even less sure.
As for screens and lenses, it's okay to say that Xingyi Technology only has 5 million orders.
But for Qualcomm chips, the early stage is 5 million dual-core processors + 5 million baseband chips. After that, there are 5 million baseband chips (allocated to NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3), and then there are 5 million quad-core processors.
+5 million baseband orders...
Where is the excess production capacity for Xiaomi?
Wang Yi placed a one-time order of 15 million + 10 million chips from Qualcomm, which directly blocked Xiaomi's future!
"God is trying to diversify his development. He is here to cause trouble. Before the mobile phone was released, he took away all the production capacity of components. You really don't have martial ethics!"
Rebus' mentality collapsed, his liver ached with anger, but he was helpless.
Who allowed himself to dislike the high cost of chips and only placed an order of 300,000 units in the early stage? Otherwise, why would he be so passive?
Bosideng Headquarters.
All senior executives stayed and held an emergency meeting.
Bosideng CEO Gao Shengkang said coldly: "What a beautiful pomelo, what a diversified development!"
"I also want to get into down jackets. I have a huge appetite and I'm not afraid of stuffing myself to death!"
Originally, the Bosideng family dominated the down jacket market, but now there are Meiyou and Zhenyou!
With the current popularity of Meiyou and Zhenyou, they will definitely grab a lot of market share.
"What do you think about this?"
The vice president took a deep breath: "Meiyou and Zhenyou will have a certain impact on us in the down jacket market, which cannot be contained. But we can also attack in the opposite direction to attack their market!"
"Are you talking about pure sexual desire?" Gao Shengkang frowned slightly and retorted decisively:
"No, now the whole country, and even foreign countries, know that Pure Desire Style belongs to Meiyou. If we follow Pure Desire Style, we are seeking death. And it is November soon, Pure Desire Style dresses cannot be sold, and following Pure Desire Style pajamas
It’s not worth it either.”
"Yes, you can't follow the trend! HM's stock price dropped by less than half because it followed the trend of Meiyou. We can't make the same mistake again."
"Actually, we don't have to follow the trend of Meiyou. We can learn from Meiyou's successful experience and develop in a diversified way!"
A major shareholder smiled and said: "They make clothing, make beauty products, invest in film and television, make mobile phones, and diversify their development, so can we!"
"Tell me more about it." Gao Shengkang became interested, and diversified development was to his liking.
"Chairman, Meiyou initially rose to prominence by investing in "Love Lost" and signing the lead female lead, Ye Xiaohe. As a result, "Love Lost" was a box office hit, and Ye Xiaohe became popular, which also increased Meiyou's popularity.
Money is pouring in. We can also invest in movies, and then implement advertising placement, and we can also sign female leads."
"It's a good idea." Gao Shengkang nodded.
"There is also beauty cosmetics, which can also be done, and it is also a huge profit industry. Beauty cosmetics are sold together in our clothing store, which can be regarded as our business expansion."
"This can be considered." Gao Shengkang became interested.
"As for mobile phones, we are not familiar with them. However, we can vigorously develop men's clothing and children's clothing, which are blank markets for Meiyou. We can also make efforts in women's clothing. As long as there are more fields, even if down jackets are dropped, the total revenue will
You can go up there too.”
Gao Shengkang nodded: "Well said! Meiyou is successful in diversification, and we can too. In the future, Bosideng will develop comprehensive diversification! Do you have any objections?"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"support!"
“Absolutely support it!”
"We must diversify, otherwise we will be defeated by the United States!"
…
Originally, some people within Bosideng were opposed to the diversification strategy and believed that the company should focus on its down jacket business.
But since the interview report of Meiyou Technology came out, everyone from the shareholders to the top management supports diversification, and they even want Bosideng to diversify immediately.
After all, Meiyou has achieved great success in many fields through diversification, completely proving the feasibility of diversification!
Bosideng’s senior management believes that if Meiyou can succeed through diversification, so can they!
Even people who originally opposed diversification are starting to think about how to diversify!
"Okay, Bosideng's diversification strategy was unanimously approved. Let's start discussing the diversification areas." Gao Shengkang said with a smile on his face:
"First of all, in the clothing field, in addition to down jackets, we will vigorously develop men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing and other fields. To this end, we need to open stores on a large scale and increase the number of stores! Even the number of brands, and the process of internationalization!"
"Especially for men's clothing and children's clothing, I guess Meiyou will also enter these two markets in the future. What we at Bosideng have to do is to seize the market in advance and not give Meiyou a chance!"
"To this end, in the next year, we will open 2,000 men's clothing stores, 1,000 children's clothing stores, and 2,000 women's clothing stores across the country! Do you have any objections?"
"Seconded!"
"Men's clothing, women's clothing, and children's clothing are the easiest ways for us to succeed in diversification. We absolutely support them."
"Seconded!"
…
Gao Shengkang continued: "Okay, the second one is beauty! Meiyou Beauty acquires beauty factories and then puts the Meiyou brand on it, so it sells well all over the country. We at Bosideng can also set up Bosideng Beauty immediately, and then
Go buy a beauty factory and copy the model of Meiyou!"
"I agree! We have more than 14,000 Bosideng stores all over the world. Our brand is stronger and has more advantages. If Meiyou can make money, so can we."
"I agree too."
"Beauty is the second strategy for diversification, no problem."
Gao Shengkang nodded and continued: "Third, invest in movies and advertising placement to further increase the visibility of our Bosideng. Let's see if there are any suitable projects."
"good."
"Fourth, as Meiyou Mall focuses on e-commerce, we can focus on real estate and further diversify development..."
…
Wang Yi didn't even know that his diversification scam was so successful.
So much so that Bosideng began aggressive expansion.
There is no way, Bosideng has been going too well in the past few years, and down jackets are too seasonally restricted, so I have long wanted to diversify.
Song Sining’s interview report completely ignited Bosideng’s passion for diversification!
BYD headquarters.
Shopkeeper Wang's mouth twitched: "Dr. Wang, oh Dong, don't let me diversify, but you secretly diversify yourself and use it as a magic weapon to win!"
"What do you mean? Are you afraid that BYD will grow bigger and launch BYD mobile phones, taking away the market from your Xingyi mobile phone? Or are you worried that BYD will make beauty products?"
"You, your situation is too small!"
"But this also shows that my diversification strategy is right. The home appliance business, computer business, and tablet business must all continue to advance!"
Shopkeeper Wang took a deep breath: "When we get through the debt crisis and have money, we will vigorously develop the home appliance business and computer business!"
"When the day comes that I succeed, I'll see what Director Wang will say then!"
Once people decide something, it is very difficult to dissuade them.
Entrepreneurs, especially, are always very independent!
Xiaomi, Bosideng and BYD are just a small microcosm.
That night, countless entrepreneurs, founders, and old directors read reports on Meiyou Technology and began to plan their own diversification path.
Wang Yi only wanted to fool someone from Bosideng, but unexpectedly he fooled a large number of entrepreneurs.
Diversification is like a Trojan horse virus that has been implanted in the hearts of many entrepreneurs, causing them to toss and turn and keep them up at night.
Even Rebus, who encountered a supply chain crisis, had insomnia.
Everyone is thinking, if the supply chain crisis is not resolved and Xiaomi fails, what will it do next?
It seems that diversification is a good direction, just like Meiyou Technology...
For example, put down your mobile phone and make a tablet? Make a computer? Make a home appliance?
Everything seems to work!
In diversified development, as long as one succeeds, it will be safe!
Well, it’s Dong Ruizhi, the pomelo king, and I will definitely pay him a visit some other day.
All in the imperial capital.
Thinking about it, Rebus's teeth almost broke!
After all, without Wang Yi’s five-million-dollar order, how could Xiaomi have a supply chain crisis?
Coupled with the price of 1999, it directly beats the master Meizu and blocked many potential peers. It will be difficult for Xiaomi not to succeed.
But now, because of Wang Yi and Xingyi's mobile phone, everything has become unknown, and it is still a pessimistic unknown shrouded in crisis!
Xiaomi's future has become full of twists and turns...
Wang Yi knew nothing about this.
After washing up, he climbed into Song Sining's bed.
Song Sining turned her back to Wang Yi, wearing silk pajamas that perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
It seemed like he was calm and relaxed, but in fact he was extremely nervous and his breathing was a bit heavier.
Wang Yi smiled slightly, lay beside him, and said softly: "Si Ning."
"Asleep." Song Sining said.
Wang Yi was speechless: "You still replied even when you were asleep."
"Isn't it okay to talk in sleep?" Song Sining curled her lips.
"Okay, sleepwalking again would be even better!"
With that said, Wang Yi turned Song Sining over and kissed her.
"Hmm~" Song Sining made a strange sound, but it became the best catalyst.
After some lingering, when Wang Yi wanted to take a step further, Song Sining wanted to stop him:
"No, I have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow."
"That's not important!" Wang Yicai didn't bother to pay attention.
We have reached this point and nothing can stop us!
"You...sigh!" Song Sining sighed and could only let Wang Yi do whatever he wanted.
After all, he is the boy he likes, and he doesn’t want him to feel uncomfortable all the time...
He just blushed and said: "You...are you ready for that?"
"Of course." Wang Yi didn't want Song Sining to get pregnant before she graduated...
"Bad guy!" Song Sining said angrily.
You really came prepared!
"Then...then...turn off the lights..."
Lights went out.
The house fell into darkness.
There are only two figures left, studying the origin of life...
The girl who was happy with each other in the previous life but regretted missing it finally became his own woman!
The regrets of two lives were finally fulfilled tonight.
After half an hour, the smoke disappeared and the rain stopped.
Song Sining breathed a long sigh of relief, then grabbed Wang Yi's hand and took a bite gently.
Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "If you are a puppy, mark it?"
"You are the puppy!" Song Sining said angrily, hugging Wang Yi tightly and nestling in his arms.
The two slept in each other's arms, with only one bloody rose blooming on the bed sheets in the dark night.
When Song Sining woke up again, it was already past seven o'clock the next morning.
Song Sining was just about to get up and cook when she suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.
Wang Yi hugged Song Sining and said gently: "You lie down and rest while I go cook."
"Okay!" Song Sining smiled brightly and was in a good mood.
It feels so good to be cared for.
Wang Yi got up and walked into the kitchen to cook breakfast.
Song Sining rested for a while, then slowly got up and went to wash up.
Enjoying the breakfast cooked by Wang Yi, Song Sining felt that such a day was very happy.
Wang Yi is good everywhere, except last night he was a little bit distressed!
Thinking of this, Song Sining pouted, a little unhappy.
Wang Yi was dumbfounded: "Ning Ning, you are on vacation today and don't care about anything. I will lay the foundation for the Meiyou Science and Technology Park!"
"Okay!" Song Sining smiled knowingly.
Today, she is indeed not suitable for public appearances, and it is easy to be spotted.
Let’s rest for a day first.
And the Xingyi mobile phone will be released in more than a month, and it is time for Wang Yi to step from behind the scenes to the front!
The foundation laying of Meiyou Science and Technology Park is a good opportunity.
After eating, Wang Yi picked up Song Sining and gently put her on the bed: "Have a good rest and wait until I come back!"
"Okay!" Song Sining nodded obediently. She no longer had the usual aloof and capable attitude of President Song, but instead acted like a little woman.
After kissing goodbye, Wang Yi went out and went straight to Meiyou Technology.
The biggest thing today is the groundbreaking of Meiyou Technology!
But Wang Yi is also thinking about whether to make a chat software while WeChat is not big yet.
