"IBM, Toshiba, Compaq, Dell, and Fujitsu have all established offices in the capital."

"Set up an intelligence department now, specifically to collect information on the models and configurations they sell in the domestic market, and obtain their monthly or quarterly sales figures," Xing Baohua quickly instructed.

"this……"

"What the hell?! This is war! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Don't you know that?"

"Yes!" As soon as Xing Baohua mentioned the war, this veteran ping-pong player, who had come from that battlefield, immediately stood up at attention.

“Sit down and let’s talk. Sales models and the ever-changing battlefield are interconnected. We can’t rely solely on distributors for sales; that would put us at a disadvantage. We need to change our mindset to maximize our profits,” Xing Baohua patiently explained to Liu Qiangwei.

Xing Baohua didn't know what was wrong with this person. Usually, when he was in the district, he had excellent grades, was eloquent, and had great social skills.

How come I'm being transferred back to headquarters and promoted, but I don't know anything anymore?

Perhaps, like in warfare, Liu Weiqiang can lead localized battles.

However, when it comes to larger-scale battles at a higher level, the capability issues become apparent.

No one is born knowing these skills. Xing Baohua will give Liu Weiqiang time to practice and learn to get on the right track.

Xing Baohua can afford the losses from several months of low shipments.

The two talked in the conference room.

As he discussed some sales cases, Liu Weiqiang took notes in his notebook.

"We still need to find ways to spend the money," Xing Baohua finally advised Liu Weiqiang.

It's not that Xing Baohua has money and nowhere to spend it, but rather how to spend it.

Whether it's hosting a dinner, advertising, or launching a product at a conference, these are all ways to spend money. The amount spent should be based on achieving a certain effect.

Competing with Lenovo for orders is, frankly, not easy.

It all comes down to relationships; you have to treat people to meals. After a few times, you can see how many orders you can secure.

Those with a bit of cunning would give money to the middleman, running errands and helping out, in exchange for a small red envelope or something.

As for the person in charge, we'll discuss that separately.

Isn't this just spending money?

After giving the sales director a good lesson, Xing Baohua returned to his office.

As the company grew, personnel management became Xing Baohua's weakness.

In the afternoon, Xing Baohua went to the laboratory again to check on the progress.

There haven't been any groundbreaking advancements, after all, the era limited the technology.

We have ideas, but our technology can't keep up.

Second-generation digital mobile phones are already considered complete. However, progress in new preliminary research is extremely difficult.

In fact, second-generation digital mobile phones, in the more than ten years since they were sold, have evolved from being able to send text messages to having multimedia and small games.

This is already the ceiling.

Xing Baohua took over during the mid-stage, leaving the R&D department with only space for multimedia and games.

Unless it becomes fully intelligent.

This is even worse; the hardware can't keep up, even though it's only barely up to par now.

Xing Baohua left behind a message: since we can't upgrade the hardware and software, we'll upgrade the peripherals.

The black-and-white screen can be changed to a color screen.

Too expensive? Why don't you just replace the LED background lights with colored ones?

Styles—ultra-thin, compact. Or those with large battery capacity, lasting a week without charging. Isn't this all part of development?

Also, see if we can add a radio.

This lays the foundation for making mobile phones with TV functionality later.

He mentioned several things in a row, leaving the lab's R&D staff both amused and exasperated. This wasn't an upgrade at all! It was just a series of expansions!

Wow! You have to admit, Nokia is the best at this. They have the most series and the most complete range of feature phones in the world.

The price difference between student and business laptops is three to four thousand yuan. What's the difference?

The main functions of that era were making phone calls and sending text messages.

Is the difference in quality?

They're all the same, really. If a student phone falls off the top bunk, you can put it back together and it can still make calls.

Actually, there's no difference in quality.

The only difference is that the business version only adds one or two features, and that's where the price goes—it's purely a way to fleece consumers.

There are so many chives, we can't leave them unharvested!

Therefore, to be a good shrewd businessman, you have to learn Nokia's shamelessness.

If we seriously develop a more advanced mobile phone, we'll lose the low-to-mid-range market, not to mention the market itself.

Nokia didn't enter, Ericsson didn't enter, Sony and Samsung didn't enter either, only Motorola?

As a result, sales declined. To be honest, if he were a seasoned salesman, Xing Baohua would have told him to find a rope and take care of himself!

It's a bit embarrassing to see a blank market perform like this.

After informing the R&D department of the upgrade direction for the next year or two, Xing Baohua went to the computer department and the tablet department to take a look.

Computer development mainly relies on chips.

It's easy to see that to get a high-performance computer, you need the latest high-performance chips.

Without adequate hardware, development is also hindered.

The only way to improve performance in the near future is to wait for the graphics card.

With the advent of graphics cards, there are now many things that can expand a computer's performance.

That's right, Xing Baohua can easily beat computer brands all over the world.

I discussed the mobile phone department's ideas with the computer department, and we'll start by thinking about how to improve the appearance.

After a long day of work, and having learned about the tech company's situation, it was already dark.

Tomorrow I also need to learn about the production operations of the electronics factory and the products piling up in the warehouse.

He was furious at the thought of the unsold inventory that Liu Weiqiang had left him.

In short, Xing Baohua will be very busy during this period.

When he got home, his mother had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to eat.

Grandpa Xing asked Xing Baohua to have a drink with him and said, "Although we managed to save that person who was having a mental breakdown yesterday, it still caused some impact within our factory."
