Wang Wenhui is quite capable.
When Hou Wenjie returned to the cafeteria, everyone in the company, from the lowest-level employees to the management, was there.
They even thoughtfully prepared a microphone for him.
Taking the microphone from Wang Wenhui, Hou Wenjie began:
"I'm here today to give everyone peace of mind!"
Our Bowen mobile phone factory will not be dissolved; it will continue to operate!
Many people say that with the entry of internet giants, counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers have no way to survive!
I think that's not wrong!
But I want to say that these giants are also just rebranding phones! They're no different from our knock-off phones!
Counterfeit mobile phones have no future, so what should we do?
Then we'll develop our own phone!
Many people might think what I'm saying is a bit crazy!
Even if those billionaires are just rebranding, what makes you so special?
What I want to say is that there are ways to play for big companies and ways to play for small companies.
The key is to find the right position.
I plan to hire top engineers with high salaries, set up a research and development lab, and redevelop a new mobile phone.
During this period, even if the factory stops production, wages will still be paid!
I also want to announce that the company will become more formalized and will no longer be a makeshift operation. Starting this month, we will be paying for everyone's social insurance and housing fund!
Okay, that's all I have to say. Meeting adjourned!
Soon, the factory line management disappeared from sight, with only a few senior executives hesitant to speak.
Hou Wenjie nodded to the group, and then they all went to his office.
The first to speak was Lao Liu, a former employee of the original owner's father when he sold used mobile phones:
"Factory manager, what are your thoughts now? I'd like to hear your specific ideas!"
If the factory really can't stay afloat, we'll close it down. We'll go back to selling used phones.
The market for secondhand mobile phones is still vast!
Old Zhang next to him nodded in agreement: "We don't need to fight a losing battle!"
To be honest, following your father, we old folks have made quite a bit of money over the years, so talking about buying a house and living in a big city's commercial district is a bit unrealistic.
We can retire in our rural area and live comfortably on bank interest every year.
You are still young, so don't act impulsively.
The company has ten million in its accounts, you own a house and a car, and as long as you don't squander it, you can find a wife and live a very good life..."
The slightly younger Li interrupted Zhang's rambling:
"You all have the rigid thinking of the older generation! If everyone were like you, how could the old factory director keep the factory running?"
Now let's listen to the factory manager's thoughts, but don't influence him!
Hou Wenjie was very fortunate that he hadn't transmigrated into a novel, where there weren't so many ungrateful people around him, and everyone wished him well, without any sarcastic or mocking remarks.
This made him feel comfortable.
Wang Wenhui then brewed tea for everyone.
Hou Wenjie picked up the paper cup, took a sip, and then spoke his mind:
"I think it's very difficult for our Bowen mobile phones to survive in the country."
Therefore, I plan to go straight for the lowest configuration and sell it to Africa!
Major mobile phone manufacturers in the market do not pay much attention to African users because the profit margin is low.
But I believe that even with a low profit margin, as long as the base is large, it's enough for our Bowen mobile phone business to take off!
Since we're going to sell to Africa, we need to highlight our unique features!
Therefore, I plan to hire top talent in the hope of developing a camera phone suitable for Africans!
Once this photography feature is developed, we can continuously optimize it to help Africans take better photos of themselves, allowing us to quickly capture the African market!
"Young people have such broad perspectives! I agree!"
"That sounds feasible, let's find someone to try it out!"
Almost no one objected.
Hou Wenjie continued, "How many Bowen mobile phones do we still have in stock, and what is their cost price?"
Old Li said, "There are still 30,000 units left, cost price 500!"
Hou Wenjie nodded: "These 30,000 phones must be sold. Online sales are very popular now, so let others help us sell them!"
Old Liu coughed and said, "Actually, I also looked for livestreamers, but no one wanted someone like us who were just a ragtag bunch!"
Hou Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Well then, don't many people say that the moon is rounder in foreign countries?"
We removed our own brand and replaced all our phones with American brands!
Compare the appearance to see which brand's model it matches!
Old Li coughed and said, "No need to compare. This phone's design is based on the Phelps S6. The specs are also the same as the Phelps S6!"
Hou Wenjie asked, "Then let's change all the brands to Phelps S6. How much does that phone cost?"
"1300!"
Hou Wenjie nodded and began searching for popular live streamers online. Soon, he scrolled to a profile picture.
"Isn't this person an actor? I remember he was a child star. Does he also sell products?" Hou Wenjie's memory of this person was a bit hazy.
"Oh, Meng Ga! Yes, yes! We did consider asking him to promote our products, but his reputation isn't very good!" Old Li said.
Hou Wenjie shook his head: "He's already selling products, so what does reputation matter! How good is his sales ability anyway?"
Old Li said, "I heard that he bought a luxury mansion in Kyoto just by selling products through live streaming, and his net worth is over 100 million!"
"He's the one! Any price difference of 800 or more will be his money. How much he can bring in depends on his ability!"
…
Three days later, in Mengga's live stream.
"Family members, I'm not doing any product promotion today, I'm not doing any product promotion!"
I'm bringing my family a little treat today.
As he spoke, he opened the JD.com page, pointed to the phone on it, and excitedly shouted:
"Did you guys see this? It's the American brand Michael Phelps S6, priced at 6999."
Today, I'm doing this for my family's benefit, for only 1199!
1199! You won't find anything lower than that on the entire internet!
Everyone says I, Meng Ga, live in a mansion, but I'm genuinely doing this for the benefit of my family!
If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one!
Family, family!
The link is up! You need to click the link on your phone! Don't click it if you don't need it right now!
I, Meng Ga, also secretly sent these gifts to my family, hiding it from my wife and with tears in my eyes!
Soon, all 30,000 mobile phones were sold out!
Hou Wenjie, Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, Lao Li, and Wang Wenhui watched the entire live broadcast in the conference room!
Old Liu was stunned: "I'd heard before that live-streaming e-commerce was a way to make money, but today I've seen it for myself."
Hou Wenjie smiled and said, "This guy is quite talented; he earned over ten million with tears in his eyes!"
With the sale of these 30,000 phones, we also recouped over 20 million yuan!
Engineers are already researching improvements to mobile phone camera technology; it's time for us to prepare for the future.
Old Li spoke first: "Old Liu and the others are getting old, so they should stay in China. I'm younger, so I'll go to Africa to explore the possibilities first!"
Hou Wenjie bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li!"
Old Li chuckled, "What's so hard about it? I get a share of the profits from this company too!"
A month later, after multiple tests, the new generation of Bowen mobile phone, Bowen Z1, was successfully developed.
Even an unkempt Black guy can exude a cool and unrestrained charm in a photo!
The factory has officially started production!
The employees are very enthusiastic because the company said the benefits are all in place!
The first batch of 50,000 units went into production and were shipped directly to Africa.
Just half a month later, Old Li called from Africa, excitedly shouting, "Our phones are sold out! Sold out!"
Bowen mobile phones are very popular among people in Africa.
Old Li said that he met many compatriots there and after witnessing the popularity of Bowen mobile phones, many people expressed their willingness to open mobile phone stores and sell Bowen mobile phones!
In the following month, the Bowen mobile phone factory continued to increase its production lines and also sent orders to other contract manufacturers. In just one month, it shipped 500,000 mobile phones to Africa, and they were all sold out!
Everyone at Bowen Mobile believed that their time had come.
Hou Wenjie doesn't like taking a steady, methodical approach; he needs to seize the market as quickly as possible!
He negotiated directly with the bank and secured a loan of 1 billion yuan!
The bank's assessment was approved quickly! No one had anticipated that the African market held such great potential!
