Chapter 102 Overseas Expansion Plan (4th Update)
"Mr. Wu, in addition, you can contact Feiying Electric again, at present, we have a big gap in demand. We never thought that the sales of our ancillary equipment would be so good, and the previous preparation was not sufficient. After appeasing Dong Yiming and drinking tea for a while, his mood eased a little, and then he remembered to say to Wu Hao.
Wu Hao frowned when he heard this, and said, "Probably how big the gap is." ”
Dong Yiming thought for a while and then replied to him: "Judging from the current sales volume, there are about seventy or eighty thousand pieces. However, it depends on the sales of our intelligent voice assistant, and everyone is still relatively interested in smart home. ”
Wu Hao nodded after hearing Dong Yiming's words: "I actually want to introduce new brands in, before Zhang Jun told me that the two companies of Black Bull and Shuxia have sent representatives to contact him after seeing our smart switch, and expressed a strong intention to cooperate." ”
"It's a bit bad to change the brand again, but Feiying is quite sincere." Dong Yiming persuaded.
Wu Hao shook his head and said, "I know, so it's not about changing the brand, but about bringing in other brands." Flying Eagle has a good market in China, but its influence abroad is weaker. ”
"You mean going abroad?" Dong Yiming's eyes lit up.
Wu Hao continued to shake his head and said, "No, it's not time yet. It's easy to pull off the file if the step is too big, so let's do a good job of domestic management first.
And we haven't developed foreign languages yet, so we can't go out at all. ”
"If you want to become a big company, overseas markets are indispensable, so I think we have to step up our deployment." Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao nodded with a smile and said, "The laboratory is already doing relevant research work, and I have asked Lin Jianliang to start looking for relevant English talents."
But you know, English has a wider reach, has different accents in different regions, and even some words are used and understood differently. So it's still more complicated to really do, so we can only start with general English. ”
"That's okay, compared to English, the coverage is wider, the market is larger, like the United States, the United States, the United States, the Dong Yiming also agrees with the development strategy.
Wu Hao showed a wry smile at this: "Do you think that in the current environment, our products have a chance to enter the rice market?"
Fruit wants to cooperate with us in this regard, but they are too greedy, and Zhang Jun is still entangled with these people. ”
"It's a problem, but we can't give up this huge market just because of a piece of annoying dung. I can't say anything about scientific research, but I suggest that we can talk about cooperation with Xunyin Technology. After all, they are doing very well in China in terms of intelligent voice, especially in language translation. Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao shook his head at this and said, "It's very difficult, we have a conflict with them in business. If we master the English language, we will not only be able to expand overseas markets, but also real-time translation will be able to do it very quickly.
Once our product has this function, this will definitely be a fatal blow to Xunyin's other translation business. The previous speech recognition technology had already made them nervous, and I didn't want to overstimulate them. ”
"I don't think they will lose sight of this, and once we do it independently, they won't even have a chance to work together. So in order to maintain the advantage in this area, I believe they will be willing to cooperate with us.
Even if you can't grasp the initiative, it's very good to get a fairly objective licensing benefit. Dong Yiming said with a smile.
Hearing Dong Yiming say this, Wu Hao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Previously, he only ignored these from the perspective of technology and industry, but Dong Yiming saw much more comprehensive than him.
As Dong Yiming said, for Xunyin, who has now smelled the crisis, there are very few roads in front of them. Either improve their skills and services, and then wait for Wu Hao and them to gradually master this technology and slowly defeat them.
Either stop Wu Hao and them before they master this part of the technology, but from the current point of view, it seems that there is no other way than to cooperate, so that Wu Hao and them can cancel their plans to continue research and development.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao smiled: "Yes, when this time is over, you can talk to them." The conditions can be slightly more generous, and more profits can be conceded, as long as they are willing to cooperate, which can also save us a considerable amount of research and development costs. ”
"I'd better forget it and leave it to Mr. Zhang (Zhang Jun) to be responsible. We still have a lot of things to do, and I don't know if we're busy until the Year of the Monkey, so I really haven't experienced taking these things into account. Dong Yiming shook his head again and again.
"Okay, then leave it to Zhang Jun."
Wu Hao nodded and looked at him and said, "I think so, after this busy battle, I decided to reorganize the commercial operation department." It was divided into two and set up two departments, the marketing department and the operation department.
The marketing department will be handed over to others, and you will be the director of the operation department and the deputy general manager of the company. In terms of operation, the company does need a more experienced manager, and we have been getting along for the past few months, and I think you are more suitable. ”
Dong Yiming was a little surprised when he heard his words, but then he shook his head and said: "I actually prefer to stay in the marketing department, and it is more rewarding to direct these young people to work hard." ”
"Haha, no wonder people say that the marketing department is busy like commanding a war, it seems that you are enjoying it." Wu Hao joked with a smile.
Dong Yiming shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "At my age, I originally looked down on these things, but during the time I spent with these young people, the fire in my heart burned again.
So I just wanted to fight and see where I could go. ”
"The operation department is different and can display your ambitions, I just said that I will wait for a while. And you are also in charge of marketing operations in the operations department, which makes no difference. It's just that he was on the front line before, and now he is in command of the overall situation. Wu Hao looked at Dong Yiming and said with sincerity on his face.
He was able to say this, on the one hand, he really saw Dong Yiming's hard work during this time. On the other hand, I also want to get closer to this cadre.
It's not a good thing for a department to be controlled for too long, not to mention that this is still the team he built up single-handedly.
Of course, this is also a good thing for Dong Yiming. This is a rare promotion in itself, not only to become the head of the operation department but also the deputy general manager of the company. In the future, after the company opens the equity or option incentive plan, he, the vice president, will definitely be much more popular than his current position.
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Dong Yiming had no choice but to nod.
For this little thought in his heart, Dong Yiming, who has been in the workplace for decades, is not clear. But he also understands that this is an inevitable trend. In an enterprise, the leader will not allow the situation of pulling the mountain to hold together.
Once it happens, it means a lot of risks that can arise. Therefore, at this time, managers will make corresponding adjustments, dismantling and diverting, or transferring and promoting, in short, putting people within a controllable range.
