Chapter 638: Running at the forefront, the era of mass production is coming! Jumei collapses, three companies share the pie!

"Boss, are you serious?"

Monday, June 9th, the first day after the college entrance examination.

In the chairman's office on the top floor of Building No. 1 in Senlian Science and Technology Park, Xiong Li was looking at Chen Yansen in surprise.

"Did I like joking before?"

Chen Yansen raised his eyelids and asked back in a flat tone.

"Sorry, boss. I'll work out the implementation details right away. Based on the actual workload of Pinbei, Orange Technology, and Deep Blue Technology, we'll implement the 'four days on, three days off' work system by department and batch."

Xiong Li took a deep breath and responded seriously.

"Get to work. Oh, and include the group headquarters in the first batch of pilot projects."

Chen Yansen waved his hand and then gave orders.

Xiong Li was originally the general manager of the human resources department of Pinbei Technology. Due to his outstanding work ability, he was promoted to the group's chief talent officer, responsible for coordinating the recruitment affairs of all subsidiaries.

"Okay, boss." Xiong Li nodded in agreement, then gently closed the door and strode away.

But a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

They are all bosses, but the gap between them is too big.

Chen Yansen actually wants to implement a 'work four days on, rest three days off' work system within the group!

However, in her opinion, although the boss's decision was aggressive, it was not a decision made on a whim.

The reason is very simple. Pinbei, Orange Technology and Deep Blue Technology have strong earning power.

Especially Deep Blue Technology!

The cost price of Deep Blue batteries per kilowatt-hour is US$110, but the supply price is as high as US$400.

Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia are rushing to place orders, with total annual revenue reaching at least US$10 billion.

The total number of employees in the Phase I and Phase II factories is only more than 5,000, and the annual labor cost expenditure does not even cover a fraction of the total revenue.

Not to mention 'work four days and rest three days', even if it's 'work three days and rest four days', the project can still be carried out.

After Xiong Li left, Chen Yansen leaned back, took out his cell phone, and clicked on the hot news rankings on Toutiao.

"Evergrande's diversified development into agriculture, grain and oil, football and other fields has attracted attention."

"The battle for copyrights among video websites escalates: Youku, iQiyi, and Penguin Video are spending lavishly to secure exclusive rights."

"SF Express's Heike convenience stores are being rolled out across the country, attempting to tap into the community O2O market."

"Lenovo's acquisition of Motorola has been approved by China and the United States."

"Wanglaoji vs. Jiaduobao: The red can dispute over advertising slogans, packaging, and distribution channels enters a legal tug-of-war."

"Moman Camera's traffic has peaked, its business is single, and its future is worrying."

"A Kuaipao employee assaulted a Taodiandian employee at Changan and was compensated 1,000 yuan after mediation."

Douyin and Lingxi Search won the 'Fist Award' at the 5th China Mobile App Developers Conference!

Seeing this, Chen Yansen forwarded the news to Shan Jiawei and asked for the details.

Kuaipao operates in more than 800 cities across the country, has thousands of outlets and more than 300,000 employees. It is normal for it to occasionally come into conflict with its competitors.

Just like Wanglaoji and Jiaduobao, offline promoters and distributors often use sticks and steel pipes to fight over words.

Business wars have always been simple and brutal.

"Boss, I've investigated this matter. Our employees are fine. It was Taodiandian's sales manager who insulted a Kuaipao rider. When his colleagues found out, they chased him and confronted him. The shoving and shoving led to a more serious fight.

But don't worry, it's not a minor injury. My colleagues in the Legal Department often teach them how to handle it, and they're very measured when they do.

Shan Jiawei quickly sent a long list of explanations.

Chen Yansen's face darkened and he thought to himself: I asked the legal department to train you so that you can abide by the law, not so that you can find loopholes.

But he didn't say much, as long as he didn't lose the fight.

Chen Yansen stared at Shan Jiawei's message and finally replied with only eight words: "This will not happen again. Strengthen the control."

After all, Kuapao is a service platform and cannot leave a bad impression on users by saying it will hit people at every turn.

"Boss, I understand." Shan Jiawei replied.

Chen Yansen then opened ShortMimo and casually clicked on a movie called "Traveling Through Newton, Starting by Cutting Down the Apple Tree" to pass the time.

ShortMimo has generated over 40 million US dollars in paid revenue within one month of its launch. Based on the current development trend, it will easily generate hundreds of millions of US dollars in a year.

Orange Short Drama's platform revenue in May was US$79 million, with more than 6,000 new episodes released in a single month.

This shows how popular short plays are both at home and abroad.

Moreover, as time goes by, the payment ratio of shoddy short dramas is gradually decreasing.

Some production teams have realized that short dramas must be high-quality in order to have a competitive advantage.

at the same time.

Far away at DJI’s headquarters in Shenzhen, after two years, Wang Tao finally got the engineering machine of the Inspire 1.

Compared with the Phantom 1, the Inspire 1 is not a simple iterative upgrade, but a comprehensive and revolutionary leap.

The gap between them is like the difference between a smartphone and a feature phone.

The Phantom 1 is essentially just a flying stabilized gimbal. Users need to install a GoPro camera themselves and cannot see the image in real time.

The Inspire 1 is a complete, integrated professional aerial photography tool, and is also the pre-ordered model that Chen Yansen intends to donate to the Xuyuan UAV training base.

It integrates a camera, gimbal, image transmission and intelligent flight functions, adopts an all-metal body, and can automatically deform and retract the landing gear, making the flight more stable and more wind-resistant.

The image quality has jumped from a maximum of 1080p to 4K, and is equipped with the Lightbridge high-definition digital image transmission function, which can achieve 720p real-time image transmission up to 5 kilometers.

Of course, in terms of price, it is also at a crushing level.

The DJI Phantom 1 standard package, which does not include the GoPro action camera and gimbal, is priced at US$679.

As for the Inspire 1, Wang Tao's pricing is: US$3,399 for the dual remote control version and US$2,899 for the single remote control version.

He reported to Chen Yansen that after the new product launch conference, it will be released simultaneously worldwide on June 18.

The domestic price standard is: 17,999 yuan for the single remote control version and 20,999 yuan for the dual remote control version.

"Send a batch of samples to Mr. Chen, and call Mr. Zhou from the e-commerce department."

After trying it out for a few minutes, Wang Tao said to the assistant beside him.

You should know that after participating in multiple rounds of financing, Senlian Capital has become DJI's second largest shareholder, with a shareholding ratio of 32%, which is only less than 10% lower than Wang Tao.

Coupled with the importance of Deep Blue Batteries to DJI, Wang Tao was particularly cautious when facing Chen Yansen.

As the assistant turned around, Wang Tao added, "Have Lao Zhou bring the joint launch plan for Pinbei, and tell him I need to personally review the details with him."

Although DJI's previous business focus was overseas, since the second half of 2013, Wang Tao has leveraged Senlian Capital's online sales channels to not only open an official mall, but also join Pinbei.

The price of Inspire 1 is much higher than that of the Phantom series. Although its performance is revolutionary enough, it still needs to leverage its strengths to convince users to pay for it.

…

…

The next day, some media broke the news that Jumei Youpin’s largest supplier was suspected of supplying a large number of counterfeit goods, and the brands involved included Armani, Burberry, Dior, Hermès, etc.

As soon as the news came out, Jumei's stock price plummeted, and investors in North America cursed and sold their stocks.

After triggering several circuit breakers, the stock price plummeted from its peak of US$39.4 to US$33.1.

This doesn't mean the downward trend has stopped, it's just a temporary close.

If Cheng Ou cannot survive this stock price turmoil, Jumei will be almost finished.

It is not easy to build users' trust in e-commerce platforms, but once it collapses, it often only takes a moment.

Jumei's actions directly affected all e-commerce stocks in China, and even the share prices of Pinbei and Dongfang fell slightly.

Ma Liyun was stunned!

He had just submitted his IPO application and was currently in the critical stage of material review.

The New York Stock Exchange has always questioned whether Ali Baba can solve the problem of counterfeit goods on its platform. The Jumei incident has made Ali's road to listing even more uncertain.

Ma Liyun paced back and forth in the office, and the inquiry letter from the New York Stock Exchange on the table was particularly eye-catching.

The above content mentioned the Jumei counterfeit incident and asked Ali to explain "how to ensure the authenticity of products on Taobao and Tmall platforms and whether there is a complete traceability mechanism."

Lao Ma thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Zhang Yong. He said in a deep voice, "You'll have three days to double-check the qualifications of all merchants in the luxury goods and beauty categories. Remove any problematic items immediately. Also, prepare a plan for the 'traceability system' and come to my office early tomorrow morning."

As soon as the person on the other end of the phone responded, the assistant hurried in and handed over a public statement from Pinbei.

Ma Liyun took a few glances and his face turned even darker.

Pinbei not only announced the launch of a special "10 times compensation for fake products" inspection for all beauty and luxury goods merchants on the platform, but also simultaneously launched a "user inspection channel". Users can send the products to authoritative agencies for testing. If they are determined to be fake, they will be compensated ten times in cash and testing fees.

"Huang Zheng is a jerk who takes advantage of every opportunity to steal the spotlight!"

Ma Liyun threw the statement on the table and snorted coldly.

After the Jumei incident, users' trust in e-commerce platforms has already dropped to freezing point. Pinbei's introduction of the "ten times compensation for fake products" and traceability mechanism is undoubtedly an attempt to attract high-value users who are sensitive to counterfeit goods.

What's more, Pinbei's consistent practice is to stand on the side of users and punish those merchants who sell fake and inferior goods.

On Pinbei, you can buy three pounds of large white peaches for 17.9 yuan, three pounds of winter dates for 9.9 yuan, five pounds of white sugar poppy for 29.9 yuan, and three pounds of Kate Mango for 7.9 yuan.

These products have one thing in common: the specifications are marked very clearly.

Take lychees for example. If the weight of a single lychee is marked as 16 to 18 grams, the actual error rate will not exceed 10%. Once the standard is exceeded, a fine will be imposed.

Therefore, merchants selling fresh fruits and vegetables on Pinbei are particularly disciplined.

The other side.

In the CEO's office of Pinbei's headquarters building in Senlian Science and Technology Park, Huang Zheng looked at the latest report sent by the data department and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The number of inquiries in the beauty and cosmetics category increased by 40% month-on-month, and the order volume increased by 24.7%. The pre-sale orders of some brands even increased by more than 30%.

Pinbei's series of operations perfectly absorbed the beauty and cosmetics users who fled from Jumei Youpin.

In contrast, Cheng Ou was scolded by users on Weibo, Douyin and Kuaishou.

Although Jumei Youpin immediately pushed all the problems and responsibilities onto the supplier and claimed that it was also a victim, users did not believe it at all.

Estee Lauder responded immediately: "Some people say Jumei supports counter inspections. We don't even have a partnership, so how can we have counter inspections?"

It’s over!

The brand's confirmation became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Jumei.

Trust has completely collapsed!

Pinbei, the first to emerge, took advantage of Jumei Youpin and added a large number of beauty users to its own platform.

Yaomiao Mall and Yidong were not to be outdone, and launched the "ten times compensation for fake products", "traceability" and "goods inspection" functions overnight, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

The 618 promotion is approaching, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Jumei can survive this storm, its performance in the mid-year promotion will be halved.

"Huang Zheng, Ma Liyun, Liu Qiangdong, please behave like human beings!"

Cheng Ou cursed indignantly.

Jumei isn't dead yet, but this group of people have already rushed in, ready to divide up the market share.

At the same time.

Liang Jinsong, who was far away in Shanghai, finally saw the words "yield rate: 96.4%" in the latest batch production report after countless attempts and optimizations.

96.4%!

It means that Xingyuan Technology's 28nm process has reached mass production level, breaking through the technological blockade of European and American semiconductor companies in one fell swoop and obtaining a ticket to enter the high-end processor market!

In the laboratory, domestic R&D engineers were beaming with joy, and some even cheered enthusiastically.

"I can confidently tell my boss that I should allocate more orders for Tiangong Chip to Xingyuan Technology."

Liang Jinsong smiled and thought secretly.

In the field of 28nm process, Xingyuan Technology is at the forefront of Fab factories across the country!
