The afternoon sun was just right. Li Yan drove the silver Accord, carrying his mother and sister, and drove away from the noisy Chang'an Town Industrial Zone.
Hummy mother looked at the rapidly retreating factory building outside the window and sighed softly in her heart.
The factory...has finally recovered. It would be great if he could see it. 』
Mengmeng, who was sitting obediently in the passenger seat, was held in her arms by her mother, turning her head to look out the window from time to time, and chirping from time to time.
Li Yan smiled but said nothing.
· When he was waiting for a red light near the factory, he looked at the signboard of Xingchen Electronics Factory outside the window. With a thought in his mind, he turned on the turn signal and slowly parked the car on the roadside not far from the factory entrance.
"Mom, wait for me for two minutes. I'll go in and take a look and then come out."
Even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the factory entrance is still busy with traffic.
Two large trucks with Henan license plates were blocking the door, and workers were busy loading boxes of packed Xingchen S1 into the truck.
The driver and the people escorting the car were shouting around the third uncle, just to jump in the queue and pick up more goods.
The third uncle's voice was hoarse but he was coping with it vigorously. Although his face was tired, there was a sense of busy fulfillment.
Li Yan did not alarm anyone, he just watched from a distance.
The warehouse manager saw him and trotted over quickly: "Mr. Li, why are you here?"
"It's okay, I just stopped by to take a look. How is the inventory?"
「根本存不住！生产出来一批就拉走一批！一月份订单早都破七万台了，生产线三班倒都赶不及！」
李言点点头：「辛苦了。跟我The third uncle said that the most important thing is to be stable and maintain quality and quantity, and don’t make mistakes just to rush the work. "
"Understood, Mr. Li!"
After a brief explanation, Li Yan returned to the car.
Mother asked with concern: "Is everything okay in the factory?"
"It's okay, very good." Li said in a calm tone.
An order of 70,000 units, which is a figure with a profit of over 10 million.
With the more intense GG launch and the wave of returning home during the Spring Festival, it is indeed no delusion to exceed 100,000 units in February.
He is very satisfied with the design of Xingchen S2 and is arranging the procurement department to seize the time to find better quality metal and glass suppliers. The goal is to mass-produce it after the year, which will be another wave of growth engines.
He temporarily suppressed the urge to release S2. The market needs to digest it and the rhythm cannot be messed up.
The car slowly drove into a mid-range community in DZ City.
The house at home is more than 150 square meters. It is decorated in the style that was popular a few years ago, with mahogany furniture and European chandeliers. It has a bit of outdated grandeur, but it is clean and very warm.
My mother and sister began to pack their luggage and start cleaning.
Li Yanze walked into his room.
There are also several engineering textbooks from his university and a copy of "Marketing Management" on his desk.
He sat down and saw the community garden outside the window. It was quiet and peaceful, and seemed to be a completely different world from the busyness of the factory area.
I will take my family to buy New Year's goods soon. This short period of tranquility is just the right time to think about the future.
In a year's time, his main battlefield will shift to the newly rented office building.
With Uncle San and Master Wang in charge of the production factory, he felt extremely reassured.
His core tasks will shift to company strategy, brand building and smartphone research and development.
As for 2008, Li Yan’s detailed goals and arrangements, and the words he is writing on his notebook at this time, are the strategies for the next year.
1. Continue to consolidate the functional phone market: convert the success of Star S1 and S2 into maximizing profits and channel advantages. This is the food he reserves for the future battle of smart phones.
2. Form a small advance team: Recruit a core software team of 5-10 people. Their task is not to develop the entire machine, but to track and study the Android system, and try to port and compile it on some development boards.
3. Maintain close communication with MTK and obtain the development and testing data of its smartphone platform (such as the future MT6516) as soon as possible.
This is equivalent to scouting and team incubation for future technologies.
Li Yan is very clear that with the current size and technology accumulation of Xingchen Electronics, it is tantamount to a fantasy to independently develop operating systems and chips from scratch like Apple.
His advantages and strategies must be based on integration and micro-innovation, using limited funds to maximize returns.
It seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.
The overall goal is to accumulate as much funds as possible and to accumulate the maturity and cooperation of the R&D team before a mature smartphone platform is developed.
As soon as the MTK smartphone solution based on the Android system comes out, we will immediately start developing and assembling a relatively mature smartphone!
Li Yan wants to make China's first real smartphone!
The first domestic smartphone is the Meizu M8 released by Meizu Company on February 18, 2009.
However, the system it is equipped with is the deeply customized Mymobile system based on Windows CE 6.0.
Meizu M8 sold 100,000 units within two months of its launch in 2009, and sales exceeded 500 million yuan in five months.
The profit in this process can be said to be quite generous for the first person to eat crabs.
Coupled with Li Yan's design and marketing thinking from later generations, Li Yan will not just be limited to the sales of 100,000 units in the past two months.
While writing and drawing, I occasionally think about the progress of Xingchen S2 and the design of Xingchen S3.
This is the most important thing at this stage, and it is also the source of your own funds in the future.
Although functional opportunities have gradually declined since the emergence of smart phones, functional phones are still the first choice in rural areas.
This situation will continue for many years and will not end until the prices of real smart phones are significantly reduced.
Accumulate grain widely, build walls high, and slowly become king!
Happily closing the notebook in his hand, Li Yan picked up Mengmeng and asked as he looked at Mengmeng who came in and leaned against his legs, staring at him with big eyes.
"Have you finished cleaning up?"
"Hmm!"
The cute little head in her arms nodded vigorously, and the little braid her mother had tied for her was swinging back and forth beside her chubby face. It was so cute.
Li Yan stood up with Mengmeng in his arms. Instead of continuing to work, he was going to take his mother and sister out to buy New Year's goods.
When he went out, his mother drove. Li Yan held Mengmeng lying in his arms and headed towards the shopping mall not far away.
At noon on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was warm and the family drove to the commercial street in the center of DZ.
The streets before the festival are particularly lively and crowded with people. The shops on both sides are hung with red lanterns and banners with "New Year's Offers". Festive New Year songs are played repeatedly from the loudspeakers, creating a bustling and busy scene.
Li Yan did not go directly to the big shopping mall, but first took his mother and Mengmeng to a large-scale traditional New Year market.
This is the gathering place for New Year’s flavors. The air is filled with the aroma of burnt roasted seeds and nuts, the mellow aroma of preserved meat and the honey aroma of desserts.
The stall was crowded with people, and people were rushing to buy all kinds of traditional New Year foods. Li Yan held Mengmeng in his arms, while his mother was picking out the goods.
For Li Yan, this scene is also a bit curious.
Hummy mother weighed two kilograms of golden and round pan-fried dumplings, which symbolized "the family is fat and the house is moist", and added oil horns, sugar rings, and rice cakes.
Of course there are the necessary sausages. Mother picked out a few strings of high-quality ones, while Li Yan held Mengmeng in one hand and carried the goods in the other.
This large bag of traditional New Year goods cost a total of more than 300 yuan. In 2007, this was a quite substantial amount of consumption.
While selecting, the mother greeted the stall owner in Cantonese, saying "Congratulations on getting rich." She also stuffed a small piece of freshly baked egg crumbs into Mengmeng's hand. The little guy's hands were full of oil after eating, and he was very happy.
