Chapter 959 Report (4k)

Awareness of danger and future judgment.

When Fang Zhuo stepped down gracefully, many people were chewing on what he said.

But now the company is thriving, and danger is just a vague concept. The most attractive thing is the seven directions the boss talked about.

Most of the people present are our own people, and many of them are in charge of departments and businesses. If we figure out the boss's intentions and strategies as soon as possible, we will definitely do a better job.

As for whether this direction is right or not, it is mainly the responsibility of Mr. Fang.

The boss is the first person responsible for the strategic direction.

"Mr. Fang, I wanted to play a joke on you tonight." Xiong Xiaoge said a little angrily as he watched Mr. Fang come down.

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Your joke is completely powerless."

"After all, we are all on your side." Xiong Xiaoge said regretfully.

"How many of you are there? This is a rare annual meeting in eight years. There are about 400 heroes sitting here. Are you really not afraid of being beaten?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head: "This is a quarrel among the people. Can you, with only 400 people, take action against the top management?"

"Yes, you are right. When the crowd is angry, they will not take action against their own people. Aren't they targeting outsiders? Aren't they targeting the outsiders who are most like the leader?" Fang Zhuo nodded. Old Xiong is confused.

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at the dark crowd behind him.

This is probably the group that admires Mr. Fang the most in China.

Thinking of this, should I say thank you to him?

"Mr. Fang, you should buy insurance for your mouth. It is too precious." Xiong Xiaoge has always admired Mr. Fang's eloquence. When he is serious, he is really serious. When he is messy, he is really messy.

I don't know if Mr. Luo of Qimonda was messed up by Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo smiled without saying a word and glanced at Pan Ben, the president of Yike Europe, who was invited to the stage by Mr. Yu.

"The last few things you mentioned just now, are they all done by you? I heard that Yiguo is already working on cloud computing?" Xiong Xiaoge became serious.

"Almost. For example, I chose a mobile phone product for consumer electronics, but this field is so large, TVs, speakers, cameras, computers, etc. are all included. Today I also received a drone model from a company in Pengcheng." Fang Zhuo said, "I just talk about trends."

He thought for a while and said, "The crisis will eventually pass, the market will rebound, and coupled with technological progress and product innovation, the future prospects are very good."

Xiong Xiaoge tentatively said, "I will invest according to what you said in the second half of this year."

Fang Zhuo focused on the stage and said casually, "You can decide for yourself."

Xiong Xiaoge silently pondered, this is the investment outline from the richest man in the mainland.

However, these fields are too big. Although there are only seven directions, they are all-encompassing.

Especially, like artificial intelligence, these four words are full of science fiction in the business field.

Do laboratories around the world have decent technology? How many years will it take from laboratory to commercial landing?

Fortunately, Mr. Fang is clear-headed and put this thing at the end.

Xiong Xiaoge was thinking about this when he suddenly heard the key data reported by Pan Ben on the stage. Yike sold 4.96 million units in Europe last year.

It is now January, which means that 4.96 million units have been sold in more than six months, an average of more than 700,000 units per month.

Just as Xiong Xiaoge was calculating the data in his mind, he heard Mr. Fang next to him sigh softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Xiong Xiaoge asked involuntarily.

"Almost." Fang Zhuo replied.

"It's still 40,000 units away from 5 million integers, right?" Xiong Xiaoge also felt that it was the annual meeting, so it was no big deal to just round it up.

"It's 1.04 million units away from 6 million. There was a Western Christmas promotion in the middle, and there was also the blessing of new mobile games. I thought it could sell 6 million units." Fang Zhuo said regretfully.

Xiong Xiaoge listened to the regrets beside him and looked at Pan Ben, who was poached from IDG and was now in high spirits on the stage. He didn't know what to say for a while.

Oh, I know what to say.

Xiong Xiaoge spat out two words: "Awesome."

Pan Ben on the stage was still in high spirits. Today, he not only represented himself, but also represented Yike's European business team.

There is nothing more satisfying than reporting achievements in this Yike company executives.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at his former subordinates and suddenly realized: "Has your goal of 10 million units been completed ahead of schedule?"

"No, the original goal of 10 million units did not include the domestic market. Europe and the United States combined did not reach it. In East Asia, South Korea was banned from selling, Japan is still being conquered, and there is a problem of channel cooperation in the scattered small country market." Fang Zhuo explained.

Xiong Xiaoge did not repeat the previous evaluation.

After talking about sales, Pan Ben talked about his experience in maintaining and expanding foreign markets. Although they all used Deutsche Telekom as an operator partner, different countries still had differences in publicity and market operations.

Fang Zhuo listened and discussed in a low voice with the people next to him.

Soon, Liu Qiangdong came on stage after Pan Ben to introduce Yike's achievements in China.

Unlike Europe and the United States, China's mobile phone business is relatively bumpy. In August last year, it could only appear in eight China Unicom 3G pilot cities in the form of a pilot, and it was not allowed to be too fanciful in the middle. It was not until this month that it was officially put into operation.

Liu Qiangdong was not afraid of the stage behind Pan Ben. Compared with Pan Ben's sharpness, his style is more calm.

From August to January this year, Yike China Market's main focus was to cooperate with China Unicom, build a dealer system, promote mobile phone brands, and use the first and second generation mobile phones to lay out different user groups.

Before January, Yike sold Mars and Mars2 at a ratio of 2:1 in pilot cities. Even if the hard conditions were cancelled this month, the feedback on sales was still delayed.

Under such circumstances, Yike's first generation Mars sold 1.52 million units in China in 28 ars.

"The 3G licenses issued in China this year, according to my contact, the operators' efforts are quite large, and the local market situation is still far behind that of the brother departments."

"But I am very confident that the growth rate this year can be raised first, and the total sales volume within the year can also narrow the gap."

Liu Qiangdong followed the brother departments and expressed a spirit of forging ahead.

The local market is indeed not as good as Europe, but it also shows sufficient consumption capacity and strong consumption potential.

Liu Qiangdong did a lot of work for the pilot and the market, but before the real sales started, he did not expect to sell mobile phones at this speed.

How to sell 3ars2? Is there such a consumer group for domestic mobile phones?

When the pilot project started and was fully rolled out in January, he could understand what Mr. Fang said more and more.

"How Nokia sells, we sell the same way."

Nokia is more expensive, and if they can sell it in China, we can do the same.

The domestic economy does need to develop, but there is already a large group that can support the market for high-end mobile phones.

Not counting the first generation of Mars, Mars2 has 496 in Europe + 152 in China, which means 6.48 million mobile phones have been eaten up by the market.

Xiong Xiaoge calculated and estimated the meaning of this number in his mind.

When he wanted to communicate with Mr. Fang, the co-founder of Yike came on stage.

"Shh, it's Mr. Yu's turn to report, listen." Fang Zhuo signaled Lao Xiong not to interrupt.

Xiong Xiaoge: "..."

Well, the status is indeed different. Those two are just regional market managers, and this one is a co-founder.

"The sales time of the US market and the European market is the same, and the sales volume of Mars2 is 4.64 million units."

"While consolidating the cooperation relationship with the operator T-Mobile, we also successfully reached a major cooperation with the operator Verizon."

"Because the cooperation time is not long enough, the effect of this cooperation will take more time."

Yu Hong briefly talked about the sales volume and operator situation in the US market, and then changed the subject to talk about patent competition.

Yike's patent competition in the US market is very fierce. It has intersected with Apple, LG, HTC, Nokia and other companies. Now it has sued LG, captured HTC, and conducted patent cross-licensing with Apple and Samsung, and is fighting with Nokia.

Such a unique competitive situation in the global market is very attractive to everyone.

The significance of the US market is different from others. In addition to the market, Yu Hong is responsible for cooperation with companies such as Google and Qualcomm. In addition, the Silicon Valley R&D Center also undertakes the most important product development tasks.

It is difficult to rank these with the importance of the market. Without cooperation, there would be no Mars. It is precisely because of Mars' excellent market feedback that these cooperations can continue to progress smoothly.

Yu Hong is away from home all year round, and only returns to China for a short time in a year.

She is a co-founder and a partner who worked with Mr. Fang in the early years. She also led the team to carry out the first batch of difficult overseas market development. Before going abroad, she was also in charge of the domestic market department.

Many of the middle and senior executives attending the meeting today have experience in the market department, and some have rotated in the US business line. For example, Pan Ben, who is already in charge of Europe, came out from her.

It can be said that Mr. Yu’s prestige in Yike Company is second to none. Although "King of America" ​​is a joke, it is also an intuitive reflection within the company.

However, the United States is too far away after all, and many people have only heard of it but have never seen it.

When I saw it today, Mr. Yu was so straightforward on the stage, analyzing the current problems of patent competition, and talking about the outline of cooperation among major companies... It made people feel that he was worthy of being the King of America.

"Today, the second generation of Mars continues the trend of the previous generation, and has won 11.12 million users worldwide in just over six months."

"This is undoubtedly a competitive victory we have achieved in the mobile phone industry."

"Whether it is the steady development in Europe and the United States, or the active development in China, the two generations of Mars have allowed us to initially establish a smartphone brand, giving us more room for maneuver."

"I just talked about the importance and urgency of patent competition, which is not an exaggeration at all, but the performance in multiple markets has given Yike's mobile phones more room for maneuver."

"As Mr. Fang said, I also hope that everyone will continue to make progress. Only by making progress can we continue to stand in the competitive market."

"The competition is fierce and cruel. Yike cannot relax at all. When all manufacturers have to listen to the voice of Yike, we will ask Mr. Fang for credit."

Yu Hong is in the United States and can feel the pressure of patent competition on the front line. Now, even if the total sales of Mars2 in Europe, the United States and China are summarized, it is still in a state of continuing to overcome difficulties.

Fang Zhuo applauded Mr. Yu, who not only played a role in the US market.

"Oh yes, Lao Xiong, what were you going to say just now?" Fang Zhuo suddenly remembered that Lao Xiong had something to say.

After listening to what Mr. Yu said, Xiong Xiaoge began to recalculate sales and evaluate the significance.

He slowly said, "I want to say that this sales..."

"Wait, Wang Jian is on stage, listen to this first." Fang Zhuo saw Dr. Wang Jian, the person in charge of cloud computing who was appointed by him, on stage, and interrupted Lao Xiong again.

Xiong Xiaoge shut up silently, okay, listen to this.

Cloud computing is a direction that Mr. Fang just mentioned.

Xiong Xiaoge is very interested.

However, he keenly discovered that Wang Jian's appearance on stage seemed to cause some whispers in the venue.

At the 8th annual meeting of Yike, the entire Yike series of companies gathered. Who officially appeared on stage in front? Mr. Fang, Mr. Yu, Mr. Pan, and Mr. Liu are the founders and market leaders.

What is the merit of Wang Jian, who is in charge of the new cloud computing department, to appear in this order?

There are more than 400 people in the conference center, and different markets and departments have different factions.

Now there is obviously a different buzzing sound than when the senior executives came on stage before.

Wang Jian, who was standing on the stage, also noticed this.

He was a little nervous.

"Hello, everyone. I am Wang Jian, the director of the cloud computing department."

"Many people may not be familiar with cloud computing. Simply put, it is to be a general technology platform for the Internet. It is the lowest-level operating system and the most difficult core to build in the field of technology."

"Let's understand it in a popular way. The core computing in the computer is like a well, and the well has the most precious water resources."

"As everyone's demand for computing increases, someone needs to find a way to turn well water into tap water and let it flow smoothly into ordinary people's homes."

"This process seems simple, but in fact, it requires precise coordination of a series of links such as building a water plant, laying pipes, making faucets, and installing water meters."

"What we have to do now is to be a water diverter, that is, to promote the development of this field."

Wang Jian tried to make everyone understand what he was going to do when he came up.

To this day, quite a few people in the company don't know what he is doing.

However, even if Wang Jian described it this way, what he said was still vague and conceptual, and it was difficult for people to understand it specifically.

The whispers in the conference center could no longer be suppressed.

Seeing this, Fang Zhuo took the microphone and started talking: "Cloud computing, I believe many people here don't understand the content of Dr. Wang's work, but it doesn't matter. If everyone can understand it, there is no need for Dr. Wang to do it."

"Regarding cloud computing, when I met Dr. Wang last year, I said that I would invest 1 billion yuan a year in him."

"Today, I just discussed with President Xiong. In the future, cloud computing may need to become a separate subsidiary and need more promotion, which is 2 billion yuan a year."

Fang Zhuo stood up for Wang Jian as planned and announced an increased budget.

Xiong Xiaoge was a little confused and forced to stand up. He was still thinking about what the doctor said.

However, Wang Jian on the stage heard what President Fang said and quickly said: "President Fang, President Fang, 1 billion is enough, 1 billion is enough to promote research."

He was afraid that President Fang would invest too much money and cause a bigger backlash.

Fang Zhuo glanced at Dr. Wang. What's the matter? It's so hard to have a legitimate way and the right direction to spend money. Why are you making trouble? Are you a rich man? Do you know how to spend money?

He did not refute it in public, but firmly expressed his support again: "Cloud computing, I think it's feasible."
