Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

【Ding……】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: TV "New Army"! 】

[The monthly sales volume of the ‘Nietzsche E55 series LCD TV’ independently developed and produced by your company has exceeded 50,000 units across the entire network, mission accomplished! 】

[Congratulations on receiving the mission reward—an excellent (A-level) gift pack. 】

【Do you want to open it now? 】

Mo Ran was already very familiar with this gift package and opened it without hesitation.

【Ding……! 】

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a high-performance laptop motherboard design drawing, quality: excellent (Grade A), available for download. 】

Seeing the skills drawn in the gift bag, Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It turned out to be "motherboard design drawings" again.

I still remember that in the last lottery, I got a B-level "Desktop Computer Motherboard Design Drawing".

Although this is a "laptop motherboard design drawing", although it is an A-level drawing, it is still a motherboard!

"It seems that the system really wants me to be a motherboard and computer business!"

With emotion, Mo Ran's mind was also racing.

Theoretically speaking, it is not difficult to produce a laptop.

Whether it is domestic Lenovo or foreign HP and Dell, in essence, it means purchasing CPUs, motherboards, memory, and hard drives from various manufacturers in the supply chain, and then assembling and producing them together.

In recent years, manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Huawei have successively launched their own laptops, which shows that the threshold for this industry is not as high as imagined.

certainly.

This is not to say that this industry is completely free of technical barriers.

Especially in the design, production and manufacturing process, all manufacturers still need to solve many problems.

For example, the circuit design problem of laptop motherboard;

For example, the arrangement and structure design of the hardware inside the notebook;

For example, the problem of scientific heat dissipation of laptop computers;

And the most important "stability" issue of laptop computers!

simply put,

It is not difficult to produce and assemble notebooks, but how to ensure stable quality of notebooks, few minor problems, and good customer experience is an issue that Mo Ran must consider.

This excellent "quality management system" and sufficient design experience are also the biggest technical barriers for companies such as Lenovo and Dell in this industry.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran shook his head.

Nietzsche can guarantee the stable quality of mobile phones because Nietzsche has been making mobile phones for many years and has accumulated a lot of experience and foundation.

And TV.

Not only is Jiang Lan, a technician from the former "Changhong TV", sitting here, but the design and production difficulty of TVs is not a little bit simpler than that of complex laptops...

"That's all... until we find the right laptop team members, this project still can't be started."

"Moreover, many people are now staring at Nietzsche. If a laptop is introduced at this time, I don't know what will happen."

"Take it easy for now."

After deciding to postpone the "laptop" project, Mo Ran set his sights on the hidden task - "system upgrade".

The hidden task requires sales to reach the top three in the monthly sales list. Now, although the sales of "Nietzsche E55 TV" are far ahead, the system still requires that settlement must be completed after October.

soon.

The only week left in October has passed and November is here.

Early in the morning, the system's clear beep sounded on time.

【Ding……】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: system upgrade! 】

[The new product you recently launched - 'Nietzsche E55 Series LCD TV' has successfully entered the top three of the TV category's 'Monthly Sales List' on the new platform JD.com, mission accomplished! 】

[Congratulations on getting the mission reward: system upgrade! 】

【Would you like to upgrade now? 】

"yes!"

[Ding...the system is being upgraded. 】

【update completed! 】

[Congratulations on the upgrade of the host system. The original ‘Pin Xixi Super Store System’ has been upgraded to the ‘Super Store System’.

From now on, the 'Nietzsche official self-operated store' that is bound to any third-party platform by the host's Nietzsche company will receive corresponding points, and the system will no longer be limited to the Pinxixi platform. 】

[Special reminder 1: After upgrading, the task difficulty will increase, please pay attention. 】

[Special Reminder 2: Due to the expansion of the points statistics range, the points rules will be changed, and the host’s existing 24 million points will be compressed into 240,000 points.

Of course, the points required to redeem various technologies in the points mall will also be reduced in the same proportion. 】

Mo Ran took a closer look,

The original tens of millions of points in the system have indeed been compressed to 240,000 points, and the drawings that were previously redeemable for millions in the points mall have now been reduced to around 50,000 or 100,000 points.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Mo Ran exhaled slowly.

He doesn't care too much about points compression.

The important thing is that after the system is upgraded, sales can be made on JD.com, Taobao, and even its own website, and points can be earned. Nietzsche's channels are getting wider and wider.

Involuntarily, he felt happy.

soon.

Near noon, the overall sales statistics for October were delivered to Mo Ran's desk.

After simply flipping through it, Mo Ran beamed with joy.

“Nietzsche X1” continued its strong sales in September.

It can be said that the design style of the previous "Iphone X" that was one year ahead of the timeline has perfectly won the favor of many young people.

Coupled with the vigorous promotion of "expandable TF card", "dual card dual standby", "3D face recognition" and the Pinxixi platform, even if there is only one sales channel, Pinxixi,

The sales volume in a single month still exceeded 70,000 units, once again ranking first in the "monthly sales list" of Pinxixi mobile phone category.

"Luban No. 8" has the support of King of Glory's strong player group, and sales are also strong, with sales reaching 34,000 units in October.

Coupled with the sales of "Nietzsche A7", the "mobile phone business department" with only three mobile phones contributed a net profit of 38 million yuan!

What made Mo Ran even more delighted was that,

The sales volume of "Nietzsche E55 Smart TV" is unexpectedly good, and it has truly become an "Internet celebrity hit"!

Sales volume on Pinxixi platform reached 23,000 units.

On the JD.com platform, 44,000 units were sold in one go.

Among them, there are actually 3,000 55-inch 4K ultra-high-definition + HDR + 120Hz high-end TVs priced at 4,599 yuan - Nietzsche X55!

The cost of a traditional TV is 2,350 yuan and the selling price is 2,799 yuan. Even after deducting the third-party installation fee of 60 yuan and the material fee (TV stand) of 20 yuan,

As well as labor, express delivery and other expenses, the net profit is as high as 300 yuan per unit!

And the smart TV X55,

Although there are annual VIP fees paid to "Youku, iQiyi, and Tencent Video", because it is a group purchase price, the total is only 150 yuan/year.

The cost of the smart TV X55 is 2,600 yuan, the price is 3,199 yuan, and the gross profit reaches 600 yuan!

Even after all expenses are deducted, the net profit reaches 330 yuan per unit!

The profits of the flagship TV X55 are even more terrifying!

The cost is 3,500 yuan and the selling price is 4,599 yuan. After deducting all expenses, the net profit of each unit reaches an astonishing 830 yuan!

What’s even more terrifying is that Nietzsche actually sold 3,000 units of such an amazingly profitable flagship TV on the JD platform!

In the end, the net profit of the entire "Nietzsche 55-inch LCD TV" series reached an astonishing 22 million yuan!

Even after deducting the advertising fee of 5 million yuan paid to JD.com, the "Nietzsche TV Business Department" still created a profit of 17 million yuan in a single month.

Following the "Nietzsche Mobile Phone Business Department", it has become another strong and stable profit point for Nietzsche Company!

Together with the "Nietzsche Mobile Phone Business Department", we created a new record of monthly profit of 55 million yuan! !

Seeing that the company's operating profit this year reached 110 million yuan, Mo Ran finally calmed down after a long time.

without any exaggeration,

Now Nietzsche is truly beginning to flourish and is gradually getting on the right track.

Although the previous "Nietzsche X1" and "Luban No. 8" sold well, the update speed of mobile phones was too fast. It is not an exaggeration to describe most mobile phones as "their peak when they debut".

Now "Nietzsche X1" and "Luban No. 8" are selling well, but no matter how excellent a mobile phone is, sales will inevitably start to decline after half a year, just like the "Nietzsche A7".

Mo Ran is not sure whether Nietzsche's next mobile phone will be as popular as the "Nietzsche X1".

And now.

Being able to successfully create a "hot-selling Internet celebrity" TV in the TV industry not only adds new profit points for Nietzsche Company, but also undoubtedly improves Nietzsche Company's ability to resist risks in another industry!

And most importantly.

From the bottom of his heart, Mo Ran attaches great importance to smart TV as a traffic portal.

how to say?

For example, air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, these household appliances are definitely not able to be consumed by customers for the second time.

but,

Smart TVs do!

Film and television dramas, variety shows, sports, even children's cartoons, and educational resources can all make smart TVs an excellent traffic portal.

With a strong traffic entrance, you can expand more functional applications on your TV just like Alipay and WeChat.

Forming a unique ecological closed loop of "Nietzsche TV"!

certainly!

Such an idea was not realized by any company even in Mo Ran's previous life, but this did not affect Mo Ran's long-term plans.

Immediately afterwards,

Mo Ran read the sales statistics for October in his hand, and finally, his eyes fell on the employee expenses column at the end of the statistics table.

Compared with the operating profit of 55 million yuan in a single month on the financial statements and the total operating profit of 110 million yuan this year, the expenses incurred by employees seem so insignificant.

In October, employee salary expenses were only 160,000 yuan. Excluding the salaries of senior executives such as Hao Keke, Jiang Lan, and Wang Fugui, the per capita salary was only more than 3,000 yuan.

Mo Ran looked at the salary expenditure of 160,000 yuan and thought for a long time.

Nietzsche was indeed facing a bankruptcy crisis before. Not to mention improving his salary, he could not even pay his salary, so it was understandable that his salary would be lower and his treatment would be worse.

But now the company's performance is improving and the company is starting to make money. At this time, any slogans or talks of dedication are just PUA.

After thinking for a while, he immediately called the financial director Qian Decheng.

"Old Qian, come to my office."

soon.

Financial Director Qian Decheng came to Mo Ran's office.

Qian Decheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. As soon as he walked into the office, Mo Ran was a little surprised.

"Old Qian, what's wrong with your face? Is it swollen?"

"Ouch."

Qian Decheng quickly touched the right side of his face with his right hand.

In the past few days, his wisdom teeth were inflamed and painful, and half of his face was swollen. If it weren't for Mo Ran's urgent need for October's financial statements, he would have taken leave to go to the hospital to have his teeth extracted.

"The tooth hurts...it's inflamed! It hurts to talk too."

"oh!"

Mo Ran subconsciously felt a sense of sourness and said hurriedly:

"Okay, then stop talking and I'll ask you a few questions."

"Um."

Qian Decheng nodded.

Mo Ran's eyes immediately became serious and he said seriously:

"That's right. I asked you to come here today to find out about the social security contributions of our current employees."

"Social security?"

Qian Decheng was stunned for a moment, and his toothache was reduced by half.

He immediately said:

"Mr. Mo, our company's social security is now based on your previous requirements. All regular employees are already covered."

"That's not what I asked."

Mo Ran shook his head,

"I remember that all employees bought the lowest social security bracket, which is the bracket that pays 40% of the base payment, right?"

"um, yes."

Qian Decheng nodded in response.

He is responsible for reporting employees' social security payments every month, so he naturally understands the situation very well.

Actually,

There are four levels of employee social security standards, namely 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The higher the payment level, the more the company pays every month.

Naturally, the higher the pension insurance you can get after retirement.

Not only Nietzsche Company, but most companies in the entire Yan Kingdom buy the lowest grade, which is the 40% grade!

This is not surprising, after all, companies also need to control costs!

only……

Mr. Mo suddenly asked what the social security level meant?

"That's it, old money."

"Starting from this month, the social security level of all employees will be adjusted from the fourth level, the last level, to the third level, which is the 60% level!"

"The additional costs will be borne by the company!"

Qian Decheng was stunned.

What? !

Social security transfer?

Shift from lowest gear to third gear?

And, the additional cost will be paid by the company? !

After a while, Lao Qian suddenly became excited. He could still feel toothache. Inexplicable excitement suddenly poured into his mind, and his whole body was full of surprises.

You know, for every increase in employee social security, the company will have to pay about more than 300 yuan more, which is something that no company will easily afford to its employees!

And once the social security level is increased, it will be a real employee benefit. As the company's contributions increase, the retirement salary will be higher in the future!

This is a benefit that countless migrant workers dream of and envy!

And now, Mr. Mo Ranmo actually offered to improve the social security level of all employees! !

His breathing was a little short.

"Mr. Mo, is this true?"

Mo Ran smiled slightly.

He is not the kind of person who would not even give a sip of soup to his employees after making money.

"By the way, there are also five insurances and one housing fund."

"If I remember correctly, our employees should only have five insurances and not one gold, right?"

"This month, we will also buy housing provident funds for all employees. As for the level..."

"Don't go to the last grade, just buy the second grade with 6%."

Qian Decheng was completely stunned now, and his teeth no longer hurt.
