Chapter 557: Taking advantage of the situation to pursue
So even if Wu Hao ships the goods now, it will take more than 30 days to reach Europe. This is also the reason why he chose the more expensive air freight to ship the 200,000 sets of smart AR glasses that had just completed the customs declaration to Europe by air. Despite being expensive, they were able to save more than a month of their time, which is crucial for them at the moment.
As for the 500,000 units he promised, they will be shipped to Europe through the China-Europe train. Although it takes about 20 days, it is about 10 days faster than shipping.
Of course, this is only an emergency measure, Wu Hao and they must immediately organize the factory to step up production. Then we will continue to ship goods to Europe by sea, so that the supply of goods can be wirelessly connected, so that market sales will not be affected.
In fact, not only Europe, but also West Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea and other markets have responded very well, but they are not as enthusiastic as Europe.
But even so, these places are in much more demand than in Europe. Therefore, Wu Hao now has a great headache to communicate with the persons in charge and agents in these places, and try to gain time as much as possible.
As for domestic, this is their biggest market at the moment, and it is also the most important market. Of course, Wu Hao can't give up on this, but the domestic market is not as eager as the overseas market.
The domestic market can wait a little longer, and this market still belongs to them before other manufacturers launch relevant products that can compete with them.
However, overseas markets are different and are easily affected by various factors. What Wu Hao has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the market as much as possible and make it an established fact.
In this way, even if there are certain factors that come to influence, they can rely on the market that has already been seized to resist. It is also possible to use the market to influence the countries of the region in which it is located and to reduce the extent of its impact.
This is also why Wu Hao did not sell directly in these overseas countries, but used agent channels to enter the market.
Compared with these outsiders, these agents have a certain influence in various regions and countries. As long as the profits are lucrative, these agents will naturally try their best to maintain them.
Initially, their intelligent voice assistant entered Europe, and it was in this way that their products were able to seize most of the intelligent voice product market in Europe in a short period of time.
Although there were many problems after that, they gradually gained a foothold in the European market thanks to the efforts of these agents. It is precisely because of this that the series of products they released later can enter the European market so quickly.
Although Europe does not have such a big influence as the United States, it is not weak, as long as the European market is handled, the markets in other regions will naturally be easy to handle. Of course, the exception of the United States is the alternative.
"Is production still too low?" Wu Hao turned his head to Zhang Jundao, who was sitting on the other side.
Zhang Jun nodded when he heard this: "It's a little low, but this is already our largest production capacity at present." Our three factories are currently overloaded with a weekly output of one million units. The OEM factory has also put into five new production lines, with a daily output of 200,000 units.
Combined, our product production can reach 2.4 million units, which is already a high number. ”
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "It's still too low, we must take advantage of this wind to seize the market as much as possible, especially the overseas market."
In this case, I will call Dongzi again and ask him to coordinate again, and strive to increase the daily production to 300,000 units. As for our factories, I asked He Jinshan to press it again and increase the production capacity by another 20%.
In this way, we will be able to produce 3.3 million units per week, so that we can fill the gap in the market within a month. ”
"But in this way, the cost has increased significantly. And I'm afraid there will be no reason for the foundry, after all, they have other production orders, and it is impossible to transfer production to us.
If you build a new production line and train new workers, the time is too slow and the cost is too high.
As for our side, this million units are already overloaded. If I improve it any further, I'm afraid that it will be a bit too much, and it will be easy to make mistakes. Zhang Jun said worriedly.
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but nodded. He is now a little distracted by various phone calls, and it is inevitable that he is a little anxious and out of proportion.
So after thinking calmly for a while, he immediately clapped his hand and said: "That's it, let He Jinshan do his best, and improve as much as he can." If you can't improve it, you should maintain the equipment and make a mess elsewhere.
As for the foundry, it is also to let Dongzi try his best to negotiate, the price can be increased, and what we are currently lacking is the goods. ”
"Isn't that a bit worth the loss?" Zhang Jun frowned at Wu Hao and said.
Wu Hao waved his hand when he heard this: "It doesn't matter, the current losses can be earned back through later operations." The most important thing for us at present is to meet the needs of the market and seize more markets. ”
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Zhang Jun also nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it." As you said, supply the overseas market first, and I will try my best to hold on to the domestic market. ”
Wu Hao thought about it when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "You can't just take care of the overseas market, the domestic market still needs to be taken care of."
In this way, let's take a part of our current production capacity. Our current weekly production is 2.4 million units, and let's give up 800,000 units from it.
You ask the marketing department to put it slowly, and put it in batches and times. Be flexible, don't let consumers think that we learn corn and engage in some kind of hunger marketing.
If necessary, we can make an announcement or explanation to explain our current predicament. ”
"I understand, I'll arrange this myself." Zhang Jun replied.
Well, Wu Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Jun and said: "This year's company's annual meeting will definitely not be able to be held, and the holiday time of some departments will be postponed or even canceled."
So at this time, we have to calm the emotions of employees as much as possible. It can be carried out from both spiritual and material aspects, and how to implement it specifically, you let each department come up with an executable plan according to the actual situation of their respective departments.
You can try to be as generous as possible, if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse graze first. We expect these people to make us a lot of money, so we don't have to worry about small money.
Therefore, at this critical juncture, it is necessary to maintain the stability of the company and the strong combat effectiveness of the employees. ”
"Don't worry, I know the severity." Zhang Jun said with a smile.
