Top of the big era

The morning symposium ended successfully.

Various suggestions and materials have been summarized and reported, and then it is up to the decision-makers to deal with it.

Originally, the ministry wanted to organize a celebration party at the Capital Hotel to congratulate the industry symposium on its complete victory. This was a victory conference and a unity conference. As a result, these business people are unwilling to engage in these vain activities. Everyone has a lot of things to take care of in the company.

Someone took the lead and they quickly dispersed.

Zhou Buqi didn't go either.

I made an appointment with Zhou Shaoning and Lei Jun to have dinner alone.

It wasn't a high-end restaurant I went to.

Just a simple beef ramen restaurant on the roadside.

While eating, Zhou Buqi and Lei Jun were recognized by several young people and were pulled out to take several photos with them.

While eating, the main thing is to communicate an idea.

Boss Zhou wants to integrate the domestic copycat phone industry and create a giant copycat phone manufacturer to show off his skills in the international market. However, those domestic copycat phone manufacturers really don’t have many outstanding talents, not only technical talents, but also marketing and operational talents.

Take Tianyu, for example, as the largest counterfeit phone manufacturer in China. However, they can’t even understand the Indian market. They are trapped by a mere IMEI code restriction.

It is not difficult to integrate the domestic copycat phone industry.

It costs almost nothing.

Now the copycat phone manufacturers in eastern Guangdong Province are really falling down in droves. Even big companies like Tianyu and Jinli, which are on the front line and are trying to transform the industry, have little vitality.

However, who can manage this business and operate it reasonably is the difficulty.

There must be talent!

Where to find talent?

We still need help from Asda and Xiaomi.

Zhou Shaoning naturally had no doubts.

Asda is the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China. Looking at the world, it can compete with Samsung. Not only does it have high domestic sales, it is also very competitive internationally. This has led to most talents in the domestic mobile phone industry joining Asda.

Some work at home, while others are assigned overseas.

There are even many foreign senior executives under the company.

Zhou Buqi was not interested in those foreigners and said: "We don't want foreigners. If we want to develop markets in Africa, the Middle East, India, and South Asia, we must send teams from home and abroad to manage them. No one except our own people." Reliable! Especially in a place as harsh as Africa, it’s impossible to do it without a bit of hard work.”

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "It's true that if you go to the United States to develop business, you can use an American as the American president; if you go to the United Kingdom to develop business, you can use a British person as the British president; if you go to France to develop business, you can also trust the French to manage it. However, some very The same cannot be said for mainstream countries, let alone unreliable places like Africa and South Asia. Even if we go to Russia, we can’t trust those old fools. We have to send one of our own to be the regional president.”

Zhou Buqi said: "So we should pay tribute to Huawei. Their global operation model has really been tested in practice. This should be the best strategy for domestic companies to develop overseas. Use a unified dispatch system from domestic and overseas This strategy can be used in any market around the world, but if you use local people, it will be difficult to do business in most countries and regions.”

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "This is also the biggest advantage of domestic enterprises in international competition. There are enough talents in the country, and they are hard-working and have stronger professionalism. No country in the world has such an advantage. An American company wants to send It is almost impossible for people to go to Africa to manage business, even for Microsoft and Google. Even if they do, it will be difficult to send first-class talents there. They can only go there because they have failed in the local competition and have no other choice. If Africa loses its ability to make a living, its competitiveness will weaken.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "I heard that Samsung has a market in Africa?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "Yes, whether it is the TV business or the mobile phone business, Samsung is doing pretty well in Africa, at least better than those companies in Europe and the United States. A very important reason is that Koreans are also in the Confucian cultural circle, and their cultural attributes are similar to those of European and American companies." It’s similar in China. If you can send the best people to Africa, your market performance will naturally be better.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "However, there are too few Koreans."

Zhou Shaoning said: "Yes, this is the biggest limitation of South Korea. It seems that in the TV business, domestic TVs dominate the African market. Samsung's strategy is quite right. It is limited to the barren environment of South Korea. If there are more opportunities than people, there will be clever women. It’s hard to make a living without rice. The situation in China is different. There are many people and few opportunities. Even if you go to Africa, there are many outstanding talents who are willing to fight for such opportunities.”

Lei Jun had a headache here and said quickly: "Don't think about Xiaomi. I don't have enough people right now! I have to interview two senior executives in a while, and we don't have extra people to support us."

Zhou Buqi said: "Anyway, I'll help whatever I can. When a new company is established, Xiaomi and Asda will both contribute a sum of money and participate as core shareholders. Let's do this together! "

Still have to bring little Mira in.

To Zhou Buqi, Aisida and Xiaomi were their biological sons and their godsons. They both had similar statuses and similar interests.

We should still try to reduce the business conflicts between Esda and Xiaomi.

The reason why Transsion was able to create a legendary market in Africa in the future was mainly because it entered the market early. When other mobile phone manufacturers were competing frantically in China, Transsion knew that it was no match, so it moved its market out early and started to focus on the African market.

As long as you work hard, it is not difficult to win the African market with so many competitive advantages in China.

However, as time goes by, it will be different.

The big reshuffle of the domestic mobile phone industry is over, and only a few giants are left to divide the market.

In order to find more growth points, these mobile phone giants can only focus on overseas and go overseas one after another. Once they go overseas, especially seeing that Transsion is developing so well in Africa, they will not be polite and will follow suit to enter the African market.

Competition will break out immediately.

At this stage, Transsion will definitely not be able to do well.

Whether it is industrial resources, supply chain channels or talent reserves, Transsion can never be a rival to these mobile phone giants. As time goes by, it will only slowly lose the battle, and mobile phone giants such as Xiaomi, OV and Huawei will be more competitive.

Instead of doing this, it is better to resolve this dispute structurally as early as possible.

Let both Astar and Xiaomi participate.

Let's work together on this copycat phone project.

In case the African market becomes popular in the future, Xiaomi will be jealous and Lei Jun will come in alone with his team.
