Chapter 247 Ambition Dominance
After lowering his head and thinking about Du Chengyi's suggestions for a while, Duke and Cai Siqiang looked up almost at the same time and looked at each other. Cai Siqiang found that Duke seemed to want to speak too, so he smiled and asked Duke to say first.
The ups and downs of New Nokia Mobile have made Duke participate more and more in the company's business, especially in the face of Apple's aggressive patent offensive, Cai Siqiang is obviously a little overwhelmed. At this time, Duke had to stand up and stabilize the morale of the military with the authority of technology.
After this stage, Duke will still fade out of the company's specific management. This cause and effect has been exchanged frankly with Cai Siqiang in private. Duke does not want to create a gap between his brothers. Fortunately, Cai Siqiang not only has no opinion, but he hopes that someone will come to bear such heavy pressure with him. He is eager for Duke to be willing to come forward and is happy to see it happen.
Duke glanced at Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu, then turned to Du Chengyi and said:
"I think Chengyi's suggestion just now is good. Although we seem a bit early now, this new brand will probably not do much in the short term, but we should prepare for everything. Instead of waiting for a hasty launch of a new brand in 3 or 5 years, it is better for us to create a new brand as soon as possible.
In this way, when planning and implementation, we should be more relaxed, and some things will be thought more thoroughly. Even if we take some wrong paths in the middle, we should have more time to correct them.
My personal suggestion is that it is better to start sooner than later. It is necessary to operate as soon as possible. If the planning and construction of this brand want to have a top brand planning team to participate in the completion, we cannot rely on our personal preferences. What we will do next is basically mid-to-high-end products. If we don’t understand the psychology of our users and launch things that meet everyone’s expectations, I think it will be difficult to achieve our goals.
I think the establishment of a new brand will be operated by a new company. Although netizens have some good ideas now, I think it is a bit one-sided to call Huaxia Mobile Communication Equipment Company or Yanhuang Mobile Communication Equipment Company. Such a company is okay in domestic market business. If it is launched internationally, whether international users have any conflicts needs to be studied.
After all, our main market is still dominated by foreign countries. Domestic market sales can account for one-quarter to one-third of our total sales, which is basically the best, so we must not ignore this when considering our strategy.
I think it is more appropriate to use neutral names as much as possible, so that the products we launch do not have obvious regional characteristics and are easier to accept when promoting them globally.
Of course, considering the voices of netizens, it is OK for us to launch some models to cater to these needs. The core part remains unchanged and remains simple and efficient in production and R&D, but it can be customized in terms of appearance or software to meet the needs of the segmented market."
Duke, who is rare to intervene in the company's business and strategy, is obviously deeply moved this time. After saying so much in one breath, he still feels a little unfulfilled.
"In terms of the market, we can consider dual-brand operation, and focus on R&D power. We must separate the R&D designers of the new Nokia Mobile and Duke Laboratory mobile phone designers, as well as the people in SAL who are responsible for mobile phone-related business research and development, and the newly acquired CPU R&D companies, and centrally establish a smart terminal equipment research institute to become the R&D institutions under the newly established company.
By fully integrating R&D resources and establishing research and development focused on smart terminal devices and software applications, it is not limited to mobile phone business. In the future, we will open up new market opportunities such as smart TVs and tablets. If one day we can do it, everyone’s life and entertainment cannot be separated from our products, communications use our mobile phones, entertainment uses our flat panels or TVs or other products, in short, open your eyes and you can reach it, then we will be truly successful.”
The grand blueprint described by Duke is not only Du Chengyi, but even Cai Siqiang, Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu, who are familiar with Duke, can only look up to him. If they are realized one by one according to Duke's idea, then Apple, which is proud of Tongji today, is obviously nothing.
This ambition is really too great. Today everyone realizes that after winning the patent war with Apple, the two leaders seem to have begun to undergo some subtle changes. Whether it is Cai Siqiang or Duke, they obviously have some different temperaments.
It was a very indescribable temperament, just like a silkworm pupa that broke out of the cocoon. It seemed immature, but in fact it had entered a new stage.
This stage is what everyone said to be Chinese Apple, but subconsciously, I'm afraid no one believes that one day we can really achieve the same level of today's Apple.
The gap between Chinese apples and apples is really as big as the price gap between a pound of apples and an iPhone. There is indeed no comparison between a startup with a valuation of less than US$80 billion, a behemoth with a market value of more than US$800 billion.
However, what Duke said today was that he had truly broken through this almost impossible barrier in his mind and began to launch a substantial impact on Apple.
It can be imagined that in the future, whether it is Saal, New Nokia Mobile, or a newly established company, there will definitely be more and more conflicts with Apple until one party falls down.
"Chengyi, do you think our boss Du's idea is grand enough?" Cai Siqiang did not continue Duke's words and said anything. Instead, he forgot what he was about to say just now, and asked Du Chengyi a question that seemed meaningless.
"It's very grand. If I can achieve Boss Du's goal, I will die without regrets." Du Chengyi said excitedly. He is actually in his thirties. Although he is older than Duke, Cai Siqiang and others, facing these young people, although Du Chengyi is a foreign sea turtle and senior executive elite who have seen the world, he has to admire the brilliant achievements of these young people.
In just a few years, it has grown into a big guy worth tens of billions of dollars. He has truly participated in this business. From acquiring Tomtom to acquiring Nokia's mobile phone business, Sal is rapidly reaching a new level. In Du Chengyi's eyes, these young people will never dare to despise them because of their youth.
Du Chengyi felt that it was already a huge improvement that he could attend the Salt core management meeting. Now that he found that he might become a key member of a great company, Du Chengyi was even more excited.
"Okay, then, are you interested in doing this newly established company according to what Boss Du thought just now?" Cai Siqiang stared in Du Chengyi's eyes and suddenly raised such a completely shocking question for Du Chengyi.
