Rebirth Starts From 2006

After three days of shopping in Las Vegas, the few people are ready to move to Hollywood,

This small town located on the outskirts of northwest Los Angeles is synonymous with the old American film industry.

Disney, Fox, Columbia, Universal, Warner, DreamWorks...

A series of big factories familiar to movie fans are located here.

Sunset Boulevard, Chinese Grand Theatre, Universal Studios, Avenue of Stars,

Even Santa Monica Bay, where many stars appear, and the legendary Beverly Hills are located in this world-famous town.

With so many celebrities and tourists, those high-end commercial places are naturally indispensable. This place can be called the place with the most luxury brands in the world, so it has another name of shopping paradise.

Some people say that you don't have to go to New York and Washington when you come to the United States, but you have to come to Hollywood.

Although this statement is biased, it can also reflect the influence of Hollywood in the United States to a certain extent.

A vulgar person like Chen Yang, of course wants to follow the crowd,

Otherwise, after returning to China, relatives and friends will ask, hey, have you gone to Hollywood to see stars?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say no!

So, the private jet took off from Las Vegas Airport and arrived at Los Angeles Airport an hour later.

Boss Chen is going to visit Beverly and Santa Monica to see if he will meet a celebrity by chance.

Of course, since I was with my wife, it was really just a chance encounter, and there would definitely be no accidents, at most we could take a photo together or something.

There is still a motorcade with a security team to pick up the plane, but before leaving the airport, Huang Shan received a call from Zhou Daoen,

"Mr. Huang, after thinking about it, I still feel that it is necessary to increase the supply of Damai's overseas version."

Huang Shan was stunned, "Have you not arranged for additional production orders?"

Now Damai's production line is divided into five parts, three for mobile phones, one for Damai's domestic version, one for Damai's overseas version, and one for Treo and other domestic mobile phone brands.

The other two are used for the production of iPad and Tpad,

Among them, the domestic version of Barley and the iPad have the largest production capacity, while the overseas version has the smallest production capacity.

As for other functional phones and accessories, all are handed over to the foundry for manufacturing.

Judging from the current market sales situation, the overall supply is in short supply. It may only be after the new Damai Science and Technology Park in the new industrial city of the future is put into operation that the hunger and thirst of the market shortage will be alleviated.

When Damai entered the North American market before, it only prepared 50,000 mobile phones to test the water, thinking that after the market opened, it would slowly increase the volume.

Anyway, the strategic policy formulated by Chen Yang is hunger marketing plus roasted seeds and nuts marketing. It is true that there is no need to prepare too many sources of goods in the early stage.

But now that Damai is about to sign a contract with Jackson, if this gimmick is released, it is very likely to replicate the success of Damai’s opening of the market with several series of advertisements at the beginning of its establishment last year.

At this time, it would be a bit silly to stick to the hunger marketing routine. Of course, we can supply as much goods as there are, so we should open up the market quickly.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Daoen held the mobile phone with a wry smile on his face, "I would like to add more orders in advance, but the production capacity is seriously insufficient now. Apart from our own factory in Damai, only Futukang has a small amount of integrated smart phone production lines. There is no place to produce the output!"

Hearing this, Huang Shan couldn't help but frown. Insufficient production capacity has always been Barley's biggest shortcoming. Even though Barley has invested a lot of money in production, it can't be immediately effective. She really can't solve this problem. .

As for compressing other products and increasing the production of Damai's overseas version, who can be compressed?

Palm's Treo mobile phone and Tpad have just been negotiated, and this is also their own company, and it is time to enter the market, so their production capacity must not be reduced.

Those domestic brand OEMs involve the domestic mobile phone alliance strategy formulated by Chen Yang, so naturally they cannot embezzle their shares.

Is it possible to reduce the domestic version of barley?

But the domestic version of Barley has been seriously out of stock since the beginning, if the compression continues, it will be no wonder that the agents across the country are not crazy.

Thinking of this, Huang Shan couldn't help sighing, "I can't solve the problem of production capacity, so what are you going to do?"

"Well, I think so,"

Zhou Daoen laughed quickly, "Mr. Huang, you don't need more, just adjust ten production lines, one production line can produce about 2,500 mobile phones, ten lines is 25,000 a day, and then four days of production, plus the original one, That's 110,000 mobile phones.

After the press conference is completed, the 110,000 mobile phones should be shipped over for a while,

Otherwise, the machine will still be sold before the press conference, but it will be out of stock after signing with Jackson, which will not have a good impact. "

Huang Shan frowned, silently pondering whether this would work or not.

If it works, the production capacity of that part should be reduced.

At this moment, Chen Yang, who was sitting opposite, waved and motioned to give him the phone.

Huang Shan was stunned, handed over the phone, and said at the same time, "Lao Zhou suggested that ten production lines be adjusted for the production of the overseas version of Damai M1, and it will only take four days to recover."

Chen Yang nodded, held his mobile phone, and asked, "Old Zhou, it's me. Now you can ask the supply chain to confirm which companies in China have purchased the smartphone production line and what step they are in. The point is, can they Provide OEM for us,

If there is a partner that can cooperate, then subcontract all the parts of other domestic brands. Their batches are all mid-to-low-end models, and the requirements for craftsmanship are relatively lower, so subcontracting has little impact.

If not, reduce the output of iPads and Tpads, focus on the mobile phone market first, and take a break for tablet computers.

As for your suggestion, there is no need to be so troublesome. You can directly contact Mr. Chai and arrange five more production lines for the overseas version, making a total of six.

Now there are more than 100 barley production lines, and the other parts are reduced proportionally, less than 5%. The number is not obvious, and there will be no problems.

When the factories in the new industrial city of the future start up, the production problems will be completely solved.

As for whether the six production lines are enough for the European and American markets, this is not a problem. The big deal is that we will do the opposite and really do the marketing of roasted seeds and nuts. Do you understand this? "

Zhou Daoen nodded immediately, "Understood, I will arrange it now."

The so-called roasted seeds and nuts marketing is to increase the price to buy the goods. In the past, Barley paid for the price increase and repurchased it, but after the market became hot, there was no need to pay for it by itself.

As long as this enthusiasm is maintained for a period of time, when the new barley factory is put into operation, the market will be filled immediately. Not only will it not lose the market due to shortages, but it will also gain a good reputation for considering consumers and stabilizing prices.

Hanging up the phone and returning the phone to Huang Shan, Chen Yang frowned slightly, "In the future industrial new city, I remember that Damai Science and Technology Park and Huahuo Science and Technology Park were the first to start construction. When will production start?"

Huang Shan said without hesitation, "The building of the factory area has been completely completed, and the production equipment is being installed now. Counting the time for commissioning and trial production, the production capacity will not be formed until mid-July at the earliest."

The foundation stone was laid and construction started at the end of April, and it was officially put into operation in less than three months. This speed can be said to be amazing.

In contrast, the textile company that Chen Yang worked in his previous life had a factory built for a year and production equipment installed for half a year. It took a full year and a half to build production capacity. That is the normal situation.

Design, civil engineering, construction, supervision, equipment manufacturer shipment, installation, commissioning, each link may affect the progress, if there is a slight lack of cooperation in the middle, it will delay a lot of time,

However, with the green light from the government all the way and the banknote capacity in place, everything is possible!

Leaning on the sofa, Chen Yang looked at the scenery outside the car window, thought for a while and said, "Which parts is Lao Zhou mainly responsible for now?"

Huang Shan rolled her eyes, "At the beginning, I asked him to be mainly responsible for internal management, starting from organizing new product launches, sorting out internal work,

Then he led the improvement of the research institute and the acceptance of the chip company. Since last month, he has added the marketing business. According to this progress, it is estimated that he should be able to take over all the management of Barley by August at the latest. "

Chen Yang raised his head and thought for a while, "He seems to have come here in February?"

"right,"

Huang Shan nodded, "The interview will be on February 22nd, and I will start working immediately after the interview. It's exactly four months."

Chen Yang rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "What do you think of his performance?"

"Well," Huang Shan thought for a while, "I should say it's okay. The advantage is that you have a big picture and an international perspective, and you have a background in technology and operations. You can be considered an insider and are familiar with the entire product development process. To be qualified for this position, no problem,

As for the shortcomings, it may be that he still has some discomfort with the environment. After all, he grew up in the United States, and the entire social environment is very different from that in China. Therefore, in terms of handling style, he is different from other departments and executives in the company. Still a little out of place,

But he can put himself in the right position, never ask others to adapt to him, but he takes the initiative to adapt to others, and works very hard to integrate into the group of Damai. I think this is very good.

In addition, he still needs to improve his understanding of the consumer market. After all, he has done software business before and is not very familiar with the consumer market. It may take a while for him to truly become a general. "

Chen Yang pursed his lips and blinked, "Then, what about work performance?"

"Achievements?"

Huang Shan pondered for two seconds, and said, "If you want to say that there are outstanding results, I don't think so, but he can basically give a relatively good result for the tasks assigned to him.

For example, the launch of new products in April, the subsequent launch of new products, and the improvement of the personnel of the research institute, the overall reception of Zhanxun and Radico have not gone wrong.

From these aspects, it should be regarded as his merit. "

Chen Yang nodded slowly. He also knew very well that sometimes it doesn't mean that you have made a great contribution to be considered an achievement. It is also very important to keep a relatively large plate and make innovations and developments on this basis. nice achievement,

After all, not everyone has the ability to be conservative and enterprising.

After making some calculations, Chen Yang smiled and said, "In this case, then you can talk to Lao Zhou later, don't wait for the half-year period to expire, after the business here is over, he will officially take over Damai after he goes back."

Huang Shan didn't agree immediately, but frowned slightly, and said, "But production is also very important. Originally, I was thinking that after he returned to China, the production part would be handed over to him slowly. , I’m afraid he won’t be able to sit firmly as the CEO!”

The core business of Damai is the research institute, which is the core technology of Damai, including communication technology, battery fast charging technology, and even the operating system, all of which belong to the scope of the research institute.

But the biggest asset is on the production side. The billion-dollar science and technology park controls whether the barley can be successfully supplied to the market and the lifeblood of product quality. A little carelessness may cause devastating damage to the brand image of barley. hit,

It is based on this point that Huang Shan has to be cautious and regard production as the last link in the work handover.

Chen Yang twirled his fingers and said with a smile, "I've also considered this issue, and I think it's time to reform the production side."

Huang Shan was taken aback for a moment, "How to reform?"

Chen Yang said, "Spin off the production and set up another Damai Seiko, which focuses on the research and development and production of consumer electronics such as mobile phones and computers. The former production general manager of Damai Seiko is in charge of Chai Guoqi, who will serve as the president of Damai Seiko.

Then it will set up different business divisions and operate according to Futukang's management model. If barley is to be produced, it will place an order with Damai Seiko, and Damai Seiko will only produce barley products and will not undertake OEM business.

As for Huahuo, it is also handled in the same way. The original Huahuo Technology is the same as Damai Technology. It is mainly engaged in marketing and brand operation management. The research and development part uses Damai’s patented achievements. The newly established Huahuo Seiko focuses on low-end mobile phones. production, as well as OEM for other brands. "

When listening to the previous, Huang Shan still didn't understand. Originally, Huahuo and Barley had a lot of overlapping functions, and now they are split into four. Isn't that more troublesome and a waste of management resources? Why bother? !

But at the end, she understood what Chen Yang was thinking,

"You mean that Huahuo and Damai will take different market routes in the future. Damai will focus on the high-end market of smartphones, while Huahuo will focus on the low-end market and undertake all OEM business?!"

Chen Yang nodded, "Yes, that's it, what do you think?"

Huang Shan pursed her lips and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "First separate the high-end market from the low-end market, so that there will be no impact on the brand impact, and then put all the foundries into Huahuo Seiko, which is more convenient for centralized management , I think it's okay."

Then he turned to look at Qin Yu who was sitting beside him, "What do you think?"

Qin Yu, who was almost drowsy, woke up suddenly, rolled his eyes twice, "I think it's okay, two companies will become four companies, and if they want to go public in the future, there will be two more listing entities, which can make more money. OK!"

Huang Shan, Chen Yang, and Zou Rong looked at her blankly together, and after a while, they gave her thumbs up at the same time,

As expected of a financial person, what I think is to be different from others!
