According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Ever since a certain expert cracked the Hong Kong forum and uploaded an antivirus software, the number of pageviews, which usually only gets a few people a day, has recently exceeded one hundred.
The chat room is mostly filled with people chatting in English; this place is finally starting to get a bit lively.
Xing Baohua didn't play; he just watched from the sidelines, and something about it felt off.
Yes, it's the ID, purely numeric.
It seems the forum needs some optimization; not only should users have usernames, but they should also be given an IP address display area code.
Of course, for those experts, this thing is useless; having it and not having it are obviously two different things.
Xing Baohua had read the chat room content; most of it consisted of IT technology discussions.
Looking at the IP addresses of some people in the backend, the vast majority of them were from Europe and America, and a portion were from Japan.
Call the website architect and tell him how to do it and how to enrich the forum.
Therefore, the HK online forum issued an upgrade notice, stating that it would cease operation for a period of time for a complete redesign and upgrade.
The upgraded HK Online platform offers richer content than before, divided into four main sections: Lifestyle, Industry, Entertainment, and Finance.
The chat room is located in the Lifestyle section. Clicking on the chat room will automatically open a dialog box; it's a very simple operation.
After re-registering, your ID and IP address will be displayed.
The IP address is automatically identified by the region and will show where it comes from.
The lifestyle section includes headings related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
The industry sectors are purely technical, including IT content, electronics content, vehicle repair skills, etc.
The entertainment section doesn't feature gossip or news, but rather movie reviews, audience reactions, and song appreciation.
The financial sector mainly consists of stock reviews and financial literacy articles.
In short, the overall appearance is very neat and tidy. However, the actual number of views is not high, with each section only receiving a few clicks.
Most of them are concentrated in the chat rooms.
Enriching the website will take a long time. Currently, most people who have access to computers are industry elites, and even personal home computers are usually used by people with relevant expertise.
The chat room is always lively, and its popularity is gradually increasing. Perhaps other countries have forums, but they don't have a place where you can speak in a timely manner. Even if you can leave a message on a forum, don't you have to refresh the page to see the update?
Xing Baohua also registered an ID, with the same name as his previous pen name: Electronic Madman.
It stands out among a bunch of English names.
I didn't participate in the chat; I watched for a while and then logged out.
The rice direct sales store is always crowded, but not as ridiculously packed as before. Sales volume continues to increase.
Xing Baohua estimates that a temporary market saturation will occur soon, and sales will drop significantly.
Xing Baohua is quite happy to see this kind of scene, after all, it squeezes out the survival space of other brands.
It's a promotion, not a monopoly. Consumers can choose brands based on their own preferences.
This aggressive promotional campaign really caught several telecommunications brands off guard. They tried to copy rice promotions or price reductions, but they couldn't keep up.
Consumers have a certain percentage of spending, which is equivalent to market share. No matter how high the promotion is, if consumers are short of money, they can't do anything about it. If they had money, they would have already bought rice and could have won a prize while they were at it.
Due to production limitations of the Note 1, this kind of promotion can only be done in Hong Kong. Other regions would want to do it, but they can't.
Many distributors, seeing the booming sales in Hong Kong, became extremely eager to expedite their orders, constantly urging manufacturers to provide more stock. They even asked the manufacturers if they would provide products for free when they also held promotional events.
The situation was reported to Xing Baohua, who then considered it and asked Dami Technology to come up with a tiered plan: prizes would be awarded based on sales volume.
The distributors agreed to the tiered reward model, but asked in return, "Can the rice supply keep up with the demand?"
What's the point of this tiered sales system if we can't keep up with the rice supply? What if we're selling like hotcakes and then run out of stock? How will you compensate us for that loss?
The issue was then relayed back to Xing Baohua, who made a very good point! Once a promotion is launched, it's essential to have a sufficient supply of goods.
Expanding production capacity for electronic products isn't something you can do on a whim; employee training, production line installation, and so on all require time.
Expanding production is a simple matter of a word, but if you want to invest in certain places, you have to welcome them like gods of wealth, with land and workers readily available.
What Xing Baohua truly lacks is management personnel. Besides training some himself, he can also poach people from all over the world who truly understand management and technology.
Moreover, Xing Baohua had some ulterior motives. Apart from placing managers and technical backbones at the headquarters and a few laboratories, he did not send many people to other factories to take up positions.
The reason is that there are some confidential matters that they don't want outsiders to know.
Is signing a contract even useful? Secrets will still be leaked if they're going to be leaked anyway.
Even with our own people, there are times when things aren't guaranteed to work for us. But we still have to use our own people; even if they don't work for us in the future, at least they can find jobs in other companies in China.
Staying in the country is better than anything else.
Those foreigners we poached will eventually leave; we can't keep them, and very few will remain.
If we continue to develop at the current level in a step-by-step manner, the consequences of rapid progress are too numerous for Xing Baohua; he has seen too many companies rise suddenly and fall just as suddenly.
Poor management can lead to internal chaos and a decline in quality.
Quality is reputation; without a good reputation, who will buy your product?
Look at those giants that survived; they all expanded production in a planned way, not blindly.
