Chapter 224 Zhou Hongyi: Hello, Mr. Chen, me? You didn’t save my number? !

At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Chen Yansen responded softly, his hands moving without stopping, and he turned two more pages of "Speech and Language Processing".

He didn't put down the book until Gao Weilin led a middle-aged man to sit opposite him.

"Boss, this is the person I mentioned to you last time, Fan Junyan from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is proficient in accounting, finance, taxation, and international commercial law. He was formerly the financial director of Nanfeng Group and has a lot of practical experience in Hong Kong stock listings."

Gao Weilin gave a detailed introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Fan Junyan. I've heard a lot about you. You can call me Joseph."

Fan Junyan stood up again and said seriously.

Gao Weilin held his forehead and smiled bitterly. He specifically told this old classmate not to mention his English name in front of the boss as it would not be used anyway.

But this guy just doesn't believe it!

"Old Fan, do you mind calling you that?"

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, motioning him to sit down and talk.

Old Fan?

Fan Junyan, 32 years old this year, froze. This was the first time in his life that he heard someone call him "Old Fan".

He looked at Chen Yansen, then glanced at Gao Weilin out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the other person was covering his mouth, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"I don't mind, as long as the boss likes it." Fan Junyan finally understood Gao Weilin's intention. By analogy, when the boss usually calls Dylan, he is probably calling him Lao Gao?

Thinking of this, Fan Junyan couldn't help but laugh secretly.

“Although Kuaidi Dache is a subsidiary of Senlian Capital, the importance of this project in my heart is no less than that of Orange Technology. Since you are the one recommended by Lao Gao, I trust him and you too.”

Chen Yansen said lightly.

In fact, he had already investigated Fan Junyan's resume and comprehensively evaluated his abilities and character. He did not refuse until he was satisfied.

After all, he couldn't even trust himself, so how could he trust Gao Weilin? "Thank you for your trust, boss. I will definitely work hard."

Fan Junyan nodded heavily and responded readily.

Compared with his salary in Hong Kong Island, his base salary as CFO of Kuaidi Taxi increased by 25%, in addition to a housing allowance of 20% of his monthly salary and a quarterly bonus every three months.

Therefore, Fan Junyan was very satisfied with his new job. He just saw Gao Weilin's Porsche Cayenne downstairs.

Although he only has the right to use the car, to put it bluntly, as long as he continues to work at Senlian Capital, the user of this car will not change.

"Work hard. The boss said that you will be given a car as a benefit at the end of the year." Gao Weilin said to him with a smile.

Of course, he also wants a 2 million luxury car! "Okay, report to Hangzhou as soon as possible. Cheng Weixing's ability in financial management and risk control is relatively weak. Sending you to Kuaidi Taxi is to help him make up for his shortcomings. I am not afraid of spending money, but the purpose and destination of every penny must be traceable."

Chen Yansen looked straight at Fan Junyan and said in a serious tone.

This is both an exhortation and a warning!

"Boss, I understand." Fan Junyan responded quickly.

Chen Yansen picked up the book again and opened it casually.

Gao Weilin and Fan Junyan looked at each other, understood immediately, and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the office, Fan Junyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and whispered to Gao Weilin, "The boss is so oppressive that I feel a little short of breath."

"You're not feeling well, right? Do you want to go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup? I have meetings with my boss every day, how come I don't feel anything?"

Gao Weilin sneered and didn't take Fan Junyan's words to heart at all. Instead, he made a joke.

At the same time, he could also understand Fan Junyan's feelings. It was inevitable to be nervous when facing a young boss with a net worth of tens of billions.

Even for him, when there were occasional omissions in his work, Chen Yansen's slight frown would make him feel a little nervous.

However, Gao Weilin attributed this inexplicable emotion to awe of the strong.

"Maybe it's just an illusion." Fan Junyan didn't think about it too much and quickly put it out of his mind.

"When are you leaving?" Gao Weilin asked.

"In the afternoon." Fan Junyan is a decisive person. In his last job, in order to push forward the company's listing process, he did not take a rest for a whole year. Every day he was either on a business trip or on the way to a business trip.

This is also the reason why Gao Weilin strongly recommended him. He works hard and is more energetic than ordinary people, which can help him share a lot of pressure.

"Okay, see you in the campus cafeteria in half an hour. I'll go through it for you." Gao Weilin raised his hand to check the time on his watch, then walked towards the Finance Department.

Fan Junyan still had to go to the Human Resources Department to sign the labor contract and option agreement. When he finished, it was just lunch time.

"You are so lonely!"

After hearing this, Fan Junyan cursed with a smile.

"Tsk!" Gao Weilin didn't look back and raised his middle finger to gesture.

The other side.

After finishing reading a book, Chen Yansen walked to the sofa in front of the window and sat down. Orange Technology's current layout in the mobile phone industry is mainly concentrated in the fields of batteries, screens, operating systems and artificial intelligence.

To beat Apple and Samsung, not only must efforts be made on the software level, but also the art of supply chain management is indispensable.

As the sales volume of Orange mobile phones increases, Orange Technology’s bargaining power on the supply side is also getting stronger.

On the one hand, it can reduce material costs and increase gross profit margins; on the other hand, it can integrate its own unique supply channels and earn extra electronic component price differences when doing OEM for third-party mobile phone manufacturers.

Take Xiaomi for example. Lei Yijun agreed to give the OEM orders to the Orange mobile phone factory starting from Q2. After some communication, he found that the purchase price of Xiaomi mobile phone batteries, memory chips and screens was much higher than that of Orange mobile phones.

But he knew in his heart that the quotation he saw was definitely higher than Orange Technology's purchase price, but he had no choice because Xiaomi's sales volume determined the supplier's attitude.

When he negotiated with Shanxing last year, the other party directly quoted an outrageous price, which could even be said to be completely insincere.

In desperation, Xiaomi chose Sharp as the supplier for its first-generation screen.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Lei Yijun decided to change the suppliers of batteries, memory chips and screens to the Orange mobile phone factory channels.

As for the supply chain management issue, it will not be too late to solve it after Xiaomi ranks among the top three in the shipment list and has enough say.

Otherwise, it may seem like you are working hard, but the price you finally get may not be as good as the second-hand price of Orange Technology, which will only make the manpower and material resources invested in the early stage go to waste.

The next morning, the news that Xiaomi Technology had signed a contract with Orange Mobile Phone Factory instantly caused an uproar in the industry.

The media are even rushing to report on the matter, speculating whether the two parties will engage in deep integration in areas such as technology research and development, capacity allocation, and supply chain integration.

But to everyone's surprise, this contract was just a simple OEM cooperation, except for licensing memory cleaning algorithms and battery management technologies.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Can we find Orange Technology to cooperate with us to provide a special machine?"

Zhou Hongyi of 360 had a flash of inspiration and wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Orange phones. The failure of Haier W910 made him draw a lesson: partners must choose professional mobile phone manufacturers.

Recently, he has closed the comment section on Weibo, otherwise whenever he releases a product promotion, hundreds of people will come after him and scold him.

"Haier has screwed me over so badly!"

Zhou Hongyi felt that he was also wronged. This mobile phone was designed by Haier and produced by Haier. Why did they scold me?

Finally, Haier W910 only sold 2,000 units a week after it was launched and was hastily taken offline.

The remaining 8,000 units were piled up in the warehouse, unable to be sold or given away, and Zhou Hongyi didn't know what to do.

360's first special-purpose machine ended up with a loss of 10 million.

But Zhou Hongyi has not given up. After finalizing the cooperation with Huawei, he set his sights on Orange Technology.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, me? I'm Zhou Hongyi, you didn't save my number?!"

But when Zhou Hongyi got through to Chen Yansen, he was stunned at first, and then he stomped his feet in anger.

Chen Yansen is so damn arrogant! "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I lost all my numbers when I got a new phone last time."

Chen Yansen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a wicked smile.

Zhou Hongyi knew that the guy was talking nonsense, and Chen Yansen also knew that Zhou Hongyi could hear it, but he just wanted to say a few words. It was this bastard's fault for putting on a disdainful face in front of him when they first met.

"Mr. Chen, I would like to discuss cooperation on special-purpose machines with Orange Technology." Zhou Hongyi was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Specially supplied phone? Chen Yansen sneered and decisively refused: "Mr. Zhou, the Orange Mobile Phone Factory only accepts OEM orders."

If someone else came, he might agree, but not 360.

He studied Haier W910. Zhou Hongyi built a series of 360 software, such as 360 Mobile Security Guard, 360 Browser, 360 File Manager, etc., into the phone.

When users wake up every day, they can see 360's system pop-ups, weather plug-ins and mobile phone wallpaper advertisements. This is not a mobile phone, it is clearly an advertising player.

"What if we use the 360 ​​brand name?" Zhou Hongyi laughed dryly. He was a smart man, so how could he not know Chen Yansen's concerns.

"It can be considered, but 360 still has to do the industrial and hardware design of the phone itself."

Chen Yansen answered cautiously.

In short, he is willing to cooperate and willing to earn the money, but Zhou Hongyi should not try to use Orange Technology as a shield.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll contact you later."

Zhou Hongyi was not satisfied with the result, but he was not disappointed either. Chen Yansen's rejection gave him the idea of ​​making his own mobile phone.

3C certification, radio transmitter equipment model approval and mobile phone production license may be a hassle for others, but for him, it is a piece of cake.

He had been in Yanjing for many years and it wasn't for nothing. He could talk to the bigwigs of the Information Industry Association. It was just a matter of going through some formalities and having a few social events, and it would be easily done.

The design is even simpler!

Xiaomi, Meizu, OPPO, ZTE and Huawei, where can't they poach people? Didn't Orange Technology's R&D department poach all its employees from other companies? After hanging up the phone, Chen Yansen smiled faintly.

It seems that Lei Yijun has made Zhou Hongyi so angry that he is determined to fight with Xiaomi.

Ten minutes later, Huawei's Yu Chendong called and asked directly: "Mr. Chen, I have given Orange Mobile Factory an order for 10 million units, but Orange Technology must license the latest version of the memory cleaning algorithm patent to Huawei."

Compared with Zhou Hongyi's, Yu Chendong's negotiation style is simpler and clearer.

Make the conditions of cooperation clear! "I only want OEM orders for smartphones."

Chen Yansen replied with a smile.

"No problem." Yu Chendong agreed immediately.

Huawei's total smartphone shipments worldwide reach more than 50 million units a year, and 10 million units account for less than 20%.

Besides, the mobile phone OEM model is not a high-end business, so it is okay to hand over some mid- and low-end models to the Orange mobile phone factory.

For Chen Yansen, the memory cleaning algorithm patent is not a core technology patent either. If it can be given to Xiaomi, it can also be given to Huawei.
