Chapter 441: With sales of 50.6 million units in half a year, Meitu Kiss is making crazy profits!
The last working day of June.
As soon as eight o'clock arrives, the salaries of Senlian Capital employees will be credited on time.
There were thick clouds outside the window, and it looked like it was about to rain, but the employees were in a particularly good mood.
Because there is a quarterly bonus this month, which is as little as two months' salary and as much as four months' salary.
Of course, since employees at factories like Yunsu, Kuapao, and Orange Mobile have very low base salaries, even if they receive double the base salary, it is actually only two to three thousand yuan more.
Chen Yansen called up the system panel and combined 418,017 strands of humanity into 41 strands of immortality, which he then used to increase his spirit value.
In a flash, the number on the panel changed from 101.05 to 101.46.
It looks like the changes are minimal, and in fact there are really no significant changes.
Apart from the diameter of the spiritual sense's exploration, the upper limit of the weight of the objects controlled, as well as the enhancement of memory and comprehension, the only thing left was that the ring-shaped patterns in the pupils seemed to be brighter, emitting a cool silver luster.
When Chen Yansen looked in the mirror, he always felt that these eyes revealed a sense of indifference.
So far, he has not discovered the actual function of this ring-shaped pattern.
It is looming and is ten times thinner than a hair.
After the strengthening was over, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of cold brew tea, looked at the gray sky, and suddenly remembered that Xuyuan would have summer vacation tomorrow.
In two months, I will be a senior.
During his three years in college, he was so busy that he didn't even get to know all the teachers for his major courses.
In addition, he arranged Meng Jie to intern at Luzhou Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Bank. He naturally understood Meng Zhenguo's little thoughts.
With his connections in Hui'an Province, which bank can't he get into?
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
Chen Yansen habitually scanned with his spiritual sense, and then replied: "Come in."
"Boss." Zhou Shouzhi, wearing a light blue suit, pushed the door and walked in.
"There's tea on the table. Pour it yourself if you want some." Chen Yansen turned around and sat down on the sofa.
Zhou Shouzhi took a document and gently placed it on the coffee table, then said: "The first week sales in the three Western European countries are out. The Green Orange series sold 146,000 units, the Orange series sold 51,000 units, and the Yaocheng series sold 12,000 units. Among them, the Aurora system accounted for 94.1%, and the Aurora Future system accounted for 5.9%."
He paused and continued, "It's mainly a problem with the application ecosystem. Products such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube and Amazon are unwilling to adapt to the Aurora Future system."
"It doesn't matter. I can understand it from a business perspective. After all, there are not many users, so it's normal for them not to take the initiative." Chen Yansen shrugged and said indifferently.
Having said that, he was thinking in his heart: wait until the market share of Aurora Future System goes up, and then give these bastards a good rip.
“The first-day sales of the second batch of Micro Orange Smart Living Stores were 317,000 units, with a total of 304 stores, plus the first batch of stores, a total of 478 stores.
The average daily offline sales volume has exceeded 500,000 units, but it has dropped by 14.6% week-on-week, which shows that the market is becoming saturated within the current business scope,” Zhou Shouzhi added.
"What about online? The decline must be even more severe." Chen Yansen smiled lightly and said in a firm tone.
The 618 shopping event just ended, and the single-day sales volume of Orange mobile phones on the entire network reached more than 2.7 million units, and user demand has long been saturated.
If it weren't for the expansion of the offline sales network and the combination of the Yunsu service station channels, the overall sales volume would have fallen into a shambles long ago.
You know, Qingcheng D2, Orange C3S and Yaocheng X1 have been online for almost three months.
Generally speaking, the peak sales period of a new model is mainly concentrated in the first three months. The sales volume is halved in the middle three months. In the last three months, the average daily sales volume will most likely drop to one-tenth of the sales volume on the first day.
Nine months is an insurmountable life and death line for most smartphones.
Either launch new products or wait for death.
Even a company as strong as Apple has to launch a new product every year.
Domestic mobile phone manufacturers basically hold a new product launch conference in spring and autumn.
Regardless of whether there is a technological breakthrough or not, even if it is just changing the screen, changing the processor, or upgrading the system, it has to be boasted about.
How to sell without bragging?
"Compared with May, it is estimated to decrease by 18.6%, which I think is a reasonable decline." Zhou Shouzhi did not elaborate, but just mentioned it briefly.
Chen Yansen did not delve into it further because he looked at the sales report every day and knew the sales volume of Orange phones very well: total domestic shipments were 43 million units; overseas shipments were 7.6 million units, covering markets in Africa, Western Europe and Eastern Europe.
At the current sales rate, the annual sales volume could exceed 100 million units.
In the domestic market, Orange phones are powerful enough to beat manufacturers such as China Coolpad, TCL and Xiaomi, but in the global market, there is still a big gap between them and Apple, and they are even more incomparable with Sanxing.
He bought an industry report from a third-party consulting company. Shanxing's global shipments in the first half of the year were about 150 million units, which really made Chen Yansen envious.
If Orange phones can sell 200 to 300 million units a year, overseas Internet companies will have to put the Aurora Future Edition app on the shelves and chase after them, right?
It always takes time to build sales channels. Orange Technology has only been in existence for two years, so its poor overseas sales are only temporary.
Once Zhou expands the market from Europe to Southeast Asia, Australia and America, with the strength of Orange mobile phones, he will never back down even if he faces Samsung and Apple head-on!
"Tell my colleagues in the overseas marketing department that if they can achieve the sales target of 100 million units, their performance bonus for the fourth quarter will be doubled."
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and started drawing the pie as usual.
"Okay, thank you boss." Zhou Shouzhi replied with a smile.
Chen Yansen's generosity is not only directed at senior executives. Every time he increases bonuses, the scope starts from at least a large department or the entire project team, and everyone gets a share!
This makes the entire company united and work extra hard to achieve results.
While the two were drinking tea and chatting, Sina Weibo announced that it would add the Weibo wallet function in the next version and officially enter the mobile payment field.
Meilishuo and Mogujie have transformed themselves one after another. Under the pressure from Ali, they have turned to social e-commerce and intentionally reduced the exposure of their shopping guide e-commerce business, leaving the traffic for their own business.
Although Pinbei is relatively friendly to shopping guide e-commerce, wasn’t it the same for Ali three years ago?
After being frightened by Ma Liyun, some shopping guide e-commerce companies had no choice but to change their tracks and start competing with Ali, Pinbei and Yidong.
What’s Worth Buying turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Its daily active users continued to increase, but its revenue growth was very slow.
This is because the users who switched from Meilishuo and Mogujie are all loyal fans of the rebate model, while What’s Worth Buying does not give users any money back.
Therefore, when users search for discounted products, they will think about what is worth buying, but they will go to other shopping guide websites before placing an order.
As a result, a shopping guide website in Shanghai called "52 Rebate" saw a huge increase in users and revenue. It also took this opportunity to obtain financing and caught up with the express train of the times.
Zhou Shouzhi only sat in Chen Yansen's office for twenty minutes before leaving quickly, busying himself back to deal with the layout of overseas markets and the construction of sales channels in the domestic market.
After a while, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder, and the heavy rain that had been held back for a long time finally poured down, and the temperature of the air also dropped a lot.
Chen Yansen returned to his seat, turned on his computer, and looked through Yu Xianyang's R&D progress and design plan. He felt relieved when he found that they were consistent with his ideas.
He is currently working on solving the baseband problem, but Chen Yansen himself is not sure whether he can bypass Qualcomm's patent barriers.
However, after recruiting some R&D personnel, the company has also accumulated some R&D results in protocol stack, radio frequency and algorithms.
Tiangong A100 is the highlight of the autumn new product launch conference and the beginning of Orange Technology's breakaway from Qualcomm and MediaTek. Chen Yansen inevitably pays more attention to it.
In the blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the rain outside the window also stopped.
Chen Yansen pushed open the door, walked out, took the elevator directly to the parking lot, and took a car back to the Delta Villa District.
at the same time.
The main part of the first phase of the Senlian Capital headquarters located in Baohe District, Luzhou has been completed, and workers are busy decorating the interior, cleaning the road, adding greenery and other tasks.
Employees from Orange Technology's Engineering Management Department are also busy inspecting the quality of the project.
Every time the locals pass by, they can't help but exclaim: "My Dragon Scale Horse! This building is so tall!"
Those who have college students in their families, especially those who are about to graduate, are all looking forward to the companies such as Orange Technology, Pinbei, and Today Technology to move to Luzhou as soon as possible.
After all, the treatment and benefits of Senlian Capital are well-known to be good, with high pay and little work. Although there is overtime, it is not mandatory, and overtime pay is also in accordance with the Labor Law, with a maximum of three times the amount.
There are both meal subsidies and housing subsidies. Many people have seen related videos and pictures online. The company's fruits, snacks and drinks are always supplied in unlimited quantities as long as they are not wasted.
With a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, you can save more than 100,000 yuan a year. After working for two years, you can earn enough for the down payment of a house.
With a monthly salary of 15,000, you can save 200,000 in a year.
If I were to work in other companies, with the same salary, after deducting accommodation, transportation, food expenses and five insurances and one fund, I wouldn't be able to save even 50,000 yuan a year.
Therefore, although the monthly salary level of Senlian Capital is not ranked high in the market, it is law-abiding and has many hidden benefits.
Company employees can only enter but not leave!
When netizens asked, they all said they had to work too much overtime; when asked why they didn’t quit, they all avoided the question.
Quit?
Only a fool would leave!
In the past few years, even junior college students could enter Alibaba, but in the past two years, even graduates from 211 and 985 universities have found it difficult to get in.
It is conceivable that the interview requirements of Senlian Capital will only become higher and higher in the future. Who would be foolish enough to voluntarily resign?
The other side.
Zhifubao announced that the scale of Yu'ebao's funds has exceeded 50 billion.
But compared with the scale of Yu'e Bao of more than 340 billion yuan, it is still a far cry.
In June's 'Share 10 Billion Experience Gold' event, the top player now holds over 100 million in funds.
Second place: 97.4 million!
Third place: 96.9 million!
Obviously, there is still a constant stream of businessmen who want to have dinner with Mr. Chen, and the competition is very fierce.
The reasons are very simple. The global cumulative number of users of Moman Camera has exceeded 60 million, and it has been ranked first in the download lists of Orange and Aurora Future App Stores, APP Store, and App Store many times.
It has become a new rising star among China's Internet technology companies!
The product became popular in North America thanks to Mimo’s video promotion.
Many people want to be the next Xu Jiujiu!
Even if we can't get the support and investment from Senlian Capital, a few words of advice from Chen Yansen would be valuable.
Wu Hongxin, who was far away in Mindu, was extremely excited, with joy in his eyes beyond words. In the first month of its launch, Meitu Kiss sold an outstanding 672,000 units.
Even if others don't understand, he himself must be aware that the material cost is less than 800 yuan.
Chen Yansen made a lot of money, but he made even more!
The net profit per unit is close to 700 yuan!
“It’s so easy to make money from women!”
Wu Hongxin muttered softly.
He thought about it and called the heads of the marketing and brand departments to a meeting, intending to find a few more celebrities with high traffic to endorse Meitu phones.
The popularity of Douyin also made him see the potential of the short video track. While waiting for his subordinates to come over, Wu Hongxin had the idea of 'plagiarism' in his mind.
But he thought again, Penguin's Weishi had just been launched not long ago, and if he followed suit at this time, he would easily be crushed by the giants. So he suppressed the impulse in his heart and decided to focus on the mobile phone business first.
But he has already thought of a name for the product - it’s called Meipai!
