"Brother Lei, what can I do for you?"
"Haha, bro, our first phone has hit the market. Guess how many units were sold on the first day?"
Ye Feng certainly knew how many units of the Coarse Grain mobile phone sold on the first day of sales.
This phone can be said to be the one that truly maximizes its price-performance ratio.
This CEO Lei Jun must have put all the best features at the time into one phone.
At a time when many foreign brands were selling mobile phones for three or four thousand, or even four or five thousand, our price was set at 1999.
It shocked countless people at the time.
On its first day of release, it sold an astonishing 300,000 units!
At the time, it terrified countless competitors, and at the same time, it marked the beginning of a period of dominance that lasted for several years.
Its dominant position only came to an end when other companies like Oppo, Green, and Huawei emerged.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Three hundred thousand?"
On the other end of the phone, Lei Jun was shocked: "Brother, how did you know? Did you plant an inside man around me?"
Ye Feng was both amused and exasperated: "I don't have the time to do such a thing. I just guessed randomly and didn't expect to be right."
Lei Jun laughed heartily: "Brother, you guessed right, it's exactly 300,000 units. You could say it's a great start."
My next plan is to focus on online sales first, which eliminates the need for physical stores and saves a lot of costs.
What do you think about developing offline channels only after profits have reached a certain level?
Ye Feng: "No problem, let's do it this way. I also opened an online store, so we can sell them through my store."
Lei Jun was overjoyed: "That's great!"
The streetlights are on.
While driving, Ye Feng communicated with Lei Jun and quickly finalized a general plan.
Ye Feng earns a commission of fifty yuan for every Xiaomi phone sold in his shop.
In addition to online stores, Ye Feng has also purchased a large number of shops in first-, second-, and third-tier cities across the country.
Prime locations are used to open Apple mobile phone stores, while less desirable locations are used to open Xiaomi mobile phone stores.
After ending his call with Lei Jun, Ye Feng went to another university.
University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Magic City.
This school majors in programming and related fields in the internet industry.
There is only one purpose for coming here: to recruit a group of graduating college students to develop a software that will become the software with the largest user base in China in a few years.
prestige!
This software was originally released in 2011.
Now, Ye Feng is planning to snatch it away!
This is a super traffic pool.
Before a certain short video platform emerged, no other software in China could compare to it.
Any product that connects to WeChat will experience explosive growth.
Once it reaches a certain scale, it will bring Ye Feng a steady stream of cash!
After parking the car and entering the school, Ye Feng asked a few students and then arrived at a place called the 'Employment Area' of the university.
Here, some graduating students will put their resumes, special skills, and other information here.
Some companies from outside the area will come here to take a look when they need to recruit.
Hello, how can I help you?
As soon as Ye Feng entered, a girl wearing glasses came up to greet him.
Ye Feng: "I need a group of technical talents who are good at programming and image production, about one hundred people."
The girl was overjoyed when she heard this request.
This is a big company; they need to hire so many people all at once.
Unable to make the decision herself, she first invited Ye Feng to sit down, and then went to call for others.
Soon, two teachers came to Ye Feng.
After confirming their identities, they felt relieved and began to communicate.
Ye Feng stated his requirements: "The people I need must have decent skills and be able to follow orders."
The base salary is 5,000 yuan per month, with an eight-hour workday, weekends off, and overtime pay at 1.5 times the normal rate. There is a three-month internship period.
The teachers at the school were stunned when they heard the conditions Ye Feng offered.
This is 2010!
A base salary of five thousand is a very high price for college students who have not yet graduated.
Even for these teachers, their monthly income is only five or six thousand yuan, which makes many teachers tempted.
After confirming several times that Ye Feng was not joking, the message was spread to all the classes.
Before long, the room was packed with people.
Ye Feng personally began the interviews.
The interview method was also very simple: they were asked to create corresponding programs on the spot according to Ye Feng's requirements.
If you complete it within the specified time, you are considered qualified and can be directly admitted.
It took Ye Feng an hour to select 120 people.
Then they were taken directly to the company.
I had already spoken with Yang Ruolan in advance. After the registration of Weixin Company was completed, we also recruited several managers, accountants, and finance personnel.
Ye Feng gathered the technicians together and said, "The task is quite urgent, so you will all start work now, and your wages will be calculated from today."
The product you're responsible for is an instant messaging software called Weixin. I'm now distributing tasks and requirements..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the newly recruited employees started to stir.
One particularly bold person even raised their hand and asked directly: "Boss, as everyone knows, Tencent is the leading instant messaging company in China."
Many large companies have tried to get a piece of the pie in the past, but they all failed.
"Boss, I'd like to ask what advantages our company has that make us even better than those big companies?"
This is also a question that others have.
It's getting closer, and there have been many bloody examples to prove it before.
Ye Feng could tell from their expressions that they were not optimistic about the project and thought the chances of failure were very high.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Because I have you all, I will definitely succeed!"
This answer was unexpected by everyone, and they were all stunned.
Ye Feng began to paint a rosy picture: "What is the most fundamental reason for the failure of those big companies?"
No one else has been able to recruit such outstanding technical talents as you.
I believe that having you is having the future.
With our joint efforts, we will surely be able to create a groundbreaking product.
By then, each of you will be able to earn an annual salary of millions or tens of millions.
Even if the company goes public in the future, some of you may become worth hundreds of millions!
The tide of time rolls ever forward, and I am willing to join hands with you all to create an era that belongs to us.
In the future, your names may even appear alongside the company, becoming a symbol of an era!
After delivering a long, impassioned speech, Ye Feng observed the expressions on these people's faces.
