Li Yan was not dazzled by the success in front of him.
He knew clearly that this growth momentum could not be maintained forever.
The market competition is fierce and imitators will appear soon.
He must seize this time window and expand his market share as soon as possible.
"Mr. Li, this is our latest market coverage report."
Sales supervisor Sister Li placed a document on Li Yan's desk, "Currently we have entered 14 provinces, mainly in central China, North China and Southwest China. District. We have not yet entered first-tier cities and developed coastal areas."
Li Yan quickly browsed the report: "We have done well. Next, we need to consolidate the existing market and improve the quality of after-sales service. Reputation is very important, and we cannot let quality problems ruin our brand."
"Understood. Also, more and more agents require cash to pick up the goods, especially those in GD province. They are afraid that payment will delay time and they will not be able to get the goods."
Li Yan smiled: "This is a good thing, indicating that our products are popular. But we must strictly control inventory, and we cannot ignore quality because of the pursuit of speed."
At the same time, in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, some copycat manufacturers with a keen sense of smell have begun to study the success model of Xingchen S1.
In a small mobile phone workshop, the boss took the Xingchen S1 he just bought and was dismantling and analyzing it.
"Dual speakers, breathing light, extra large battery..." The boss muttered to himself, "The idea is good, but there is no technical threshold. Lao Zhang, can we make something similar?"
The engineer known as Lao Zhang nodded: "No problem, the motherboard is still MTK's solution, and the speakers and light strips are easy to get. It's just that the coating process of the casing may take some time to study."
"Get it done as soon as possible. I will see the sample next month. Such a good market cannot be allowed to be monopolized by one family."
Similar scenes are being staged in many copycat mobile phone factories.
The success of Xingchen S1 has pointed out a new direction for them - no longer a pure price war, but to open the market through micro-innovation and precision marketing.
On a somewhat busy day, Li Yan, who was sitting in his office, received an unexpected phone call.
"Mr. Li, I am Mr. Zhang from the credit union." The enthusiastic voice of President Zhang came from the other end of the phone, "How are you doing lately? I heard that your factory is booming!"
Li Yan was a little surprised. President Zhang had never contacted him so proactively: "Thanks to you, it's okay. If it weren't for your loan, our factory wouldn't be able to survive." Today. "
"No, that's because you have the strength." President Zhang smiled, "It's the end of the year, and our bank has some deposit tasks. Do you think you can keep the settlement in our bank as much as possible? There is still a lot of room for cooperation in the future."
Li Yan immediately understood the other party's intention.
The factory's account flow increased significantly, attracting the attention of the bank.
This was unimaginable before. After all, if you wanted to get a loan before, you still had to ask Director Liu of the credit department to treat you to a guest and make connections.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we are old friends. As long as it is convenient, we will definitely be given priority."
"Great! So, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to a meal and let's have a good chat."
That night, it was still the Jiahua Hotel, but this time only President Zhang and Director Liu did not come together.
President Zhang was particularly enthusiastic.
Not only ordered the most expensive dish, but also brought three young and beautiful girls to accompany him.
"Mr. Li, these are Xiaofang, Xiaoli and Xiaomei. They are all VIP account managers of our bank. From now on, they will be exclusively responsible for your business."
President Zhang winked, and the three girls immediately sat around Li Yan, pouring wine and picking up food.
Li Yan kept a polite smile on his face: "President Zhang is too polite. I am just a small factory owner. I don't need a dedicated account manager."
"Hey, Mr. Li is so humble. I see that your factory's account flow has increased six or seven times this month, right? This is just the beginning, and it will definitely be great in the future."
President Zhang raised his glass and said, "Here, let me toast you, and wish the Xingchen mobile phone a great success!"
After three drinks, President Zhang hinted: "Mr. Li is young and promising, and looks very talented, so he probably hasn't gotten married yet? Our Xiaofang graduated from a prestigious school, with both talent and beauty..."
The girl named Xiaofang moved closer to Li Yan cooperatively.
Looking good, with fair skin and graceful figure.
But it is still far from Li Yan's requirements, or from Li Yan's aesthetics.
You have to know that I have come from the era of exquisite makeup and high-profile Douyin in later generations, and I don’t like the ordinary appearance.
Li Yan gently pushed away the wine glass handed over by the girl, and said politely but firmly: "President Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. But all my thoughts are on the factory now, and I have not considered personal issues for the time being. Let's talk about loans. "It's about the renewal."
President Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, young people should put their career first. The loan is easy to talk about. As long as you keep your turnover in our bank, the interest rate can be negotiated..."
Li Yan knew in his heart that his own strength was the best bargaining chip.
A month ago, he had to treat guests and give gifts to get the loan disbursement speed, but now it is the bank that takes the initiative to please him.
This change is really normal.
After dinner, Li Yan declined the next entertainment activity arranged by President Zhang and returned directly to the factory.
There are too many things to deal with, and he has neither time nor interest to participate in these entertainments.
Back in the office, Li Yan saw his third uncle waiting for him.
"Xiaoyan, two more provincial agents came today, and they want provincial agency rights." The third uncle had a tired but excited expression on his face, "One of them is willing to pay a deposit of 500,000 yuan in advance."
Li Yan nodded: "This is a good thing, but we must choose carefully. What we are looking for is a partner with strength and channels, not a rip-off who just needs to pay."
cesscesslves in in in on the materials in on on the newly recruited workers on the production line have been fully trained, and the whole factory will be able to work in three shifts next week. the material supply is a little tight, especially for the special coated casings. Increase the price appropriately, but ensure the quality." Li Yan paused, "The most important thing is quality control. Increased production cannot be at the expense of quality."
"Don't worry, Master Wang is watching and won't miss any problems."
At this moment, Li Yan's cell phone rang.
Li Yan walked to the window and looked at the factory building which was still brightly lit.
Night shift workers are busy, batches of newly-off-line Xingchen S1 are being packed into boxes and prepared to be sent to all parts of the country.
A month ago, no one could have imagined that this small factory with meager profits could now have more than 100 employees and a monthly net profit of more than 2 million yuan.
Today, although Xingchen mobile phones have not yet entered the mainstream view, they have already opened up the market in the sinking market.
However, Li Yan knew that the real challenge had just begun.
Imitators may have appeared, and big brands may notice this market gap at any time.
"Third uncle, we will convene a management meeting tomorrow." Li Yan turned around, "We are going to discuss the next development strategy."
"Okay, I'll inform you." Third uncle nodded and left the office.
Li Yan stood alone in front of the window, already planning the future of Xingchen Mobile in his mind.
Independent research and development, brand building, channel deepening... there is still a long way to go.
But at least, they have successfully taken the first step.
As for the next development path, Li Yan can already start preparations.
