Chapter 029 The problem of sales

In a few days, the laboratory test will be completed.

Hu Yue handed over the data to Meng Qian: "Based on the performance of the five-group battery, comprehensive comparison of performance, cost and safety, the C-group product is most in line with the demand. Under the same volume, its capacity is 3.1 times that of traditional lithium batteries. Due to the special material, its fast charging potential is great."

"Where is the highest limit?" Meng Qian asked, testing the fast charging limit is also one of the tasks of the technical team.

Hu Yue introduced: "We use high-voltage fast charging. At a constant 5A current, the voltage will be slowly increased. While ensuring the safety of the battery and maintaining normal life, it can withstand a maximum current input of 20V, that is, 100W of power, which is 12 times faster than traditional technology!"

Meng Qian thoughtfully calculated: "That is, it can be filled in about 25 minutes?"

Hu Yue nodded: "That's right, fifteen minutes are enough to go from zero to 70% of the battery."

"Very good." It has already met Meng Qian's expectations.

"This is a professional test report." Hu Yue handed over the recording documents to him.

Meng Qian glanced at the main results a few times, and they all met the requirements. He asked again: "Where is the actual use of the model?"

"Come with me, Mr. Meng." Hu Yue took him to see the finished product and introduced: "For the main brand models on the market, we have tried to produce a batch of batteries, and there are more than 30 models here. If the company wants to promote it in the future, you can get samples directly from here."

Hu Yue has also experienced old experience, which makes people feel relieved.

Meng Qian took a mobile phone he handed over, and the battery was 91% left.

Hu Yue said: "The original battery capacity of this model mobile phone is 2500 mAh. At the same voltage, it has been increased to 7600 mAh. In terms of daily browsing, video playback, and 3G calls, it is generally 3.0 to 3.1 times the original one. The difference is mainly due to the use environment."

After playing for a few times, Meng Qian took out the Apple phone on his body: "Where is it?"

"Some of us are very good at dismantling this thing." Hu Yue turned around and waved: "Xiao Liu, Mr. Meng has a task."

While Xiao Liu was dismantling his phone, Meng Qian sat down to play with his phone. He ordered a game application program, which he played with racing and usually used, and it consumed a lot of power. The phone was so hot in half an hour. After one or two hours, it was normal that it would be less than half of the battery.

But after playing for half an hour, he left and saw that the battery was 85% left, which was very good. It was not easy to run out of its power. Then he simply put a special software on the copy machine and discharged the phone. He put the phone aside. Then he picked up the installed apple and tested it.

From the perspective of high-end profitability, he is more looking forward to cooperation with Apple.

Because in terms of the global smartphone market share, Samsung and Apple are at the top. Although Samsung has a larger market, the models are very diverse. Apple is much simpler. One model is sold for a year. If you take orders, the latter is more convenient and the standard production line can be easily handled.

Apple has a high price, fixed model, and more room for sales profits. When Meng Qian was trying on his phone, Zong Yan also came. Compared to playing with the phone, he was more interested in actual use. He tried those phones with new batteries and specially conducted charging tests.

"Is it qualified?" Zong Yan asked Meng Qian who was playing with his mobile phone.

Meng Qian handed him the professional report: "The performance is very good, the performance is strong, the cost can be controlled at about 60 yuan. As long as the factory is built, you can take orders at any time."

Zong Yan understood: "Then it's my job next."

...

Promoting first is the first step.

Although Fuguo Energy has few employees, it has abundant funds. It is fine to pay a fee to promote it on technology websites, IT portals, and spread it in social circles. It is mainly about the leap in new batteries, capacity and charging speed.

Zong Yan and the company team are responsible for handling all this. The amateur Meng Qian had nothing to do, so he drove to the factory to check it out. The company rented a factory in the suburbs and is currently engaged in renovations. The machines ordered are delivered one after another. The stock is still quite fast and the staff are also recruiting.

The factory area is subject to the inability to expand funds. The labor demand during peak hours is expected to be around 300. You have to go through some training before you can fill in the extra operations. Meng Qian went to the mobile phone network and also posted recruitment online, and his salary was slightly higher than that of similar industries.

...

His life is temporarily calm.

I exercise every day, go to the racing stadium every few days, and pay attention to the online updates.

The PR team was moving quite quickly. A few days later, similar news titles such as "A major breakthrough in super battery technology, mass production is imminent" appeared on the Internet. The focus was on introducing Fuguo Energy's battery products, listing its powerful performance, and even actual use.

For ordinary people, the sensation of this news is just average, and it is just looking forward to appear soon. For some large mobile phone manufacturers, they don’t pay much attention. After all, there are various breakthrough news every once in a while, and in fact, it is nowhere to be found to be mass-produced.

Fuguo Energy's product sales have not been good.

Zong Yan, who has multiple jobs, has been mentally prepared for this, because large mobile phone manufacturers have fixed suppliers, signed supply contracts, and have stable demand; it is also because Fuguo Energy is just starting out and has no reputation; in addition, this kind of battery is more like a bragging hot and then disappears.

More importantly, the giants are so busy, why do you believe in you?

The reason is the same as what Gong Hui once said to Meng Qian. Large battery suppliers have advantages in brand, scale and quality, with low procurement costs, and most of them have long-term cooperation with mobile phone manufacturers. The newly emerged Fuguo Energy, without fame or scale, will almost be ignored.

Zong Yan tried to contact big domestic brands. When they heard that they wanted to supply batteries, they either bluntly said that there was no demand or that "there was already a supplier". Some brands did not even set up personnel for battery business. After calling, they answered the phone and asked questions.

"Some people actually regard us as a fraud company!" Zong Yan failed several attempts, but he could still laugh. At least he had seen many Fenglangs.

But Meng Qian was not very stable, and he asked: "What should we do next?"

Zong Yan considered: "It's just that we don't have the reputation and the way. Telephone sales seem to be not good. I plan to have a face-to-face conversation in person, find their person in charge, and get the product in front of me."

Meng Qian could only smile bitterly: "The strategy of blocking the door."

"The first step is always very hard." Zong Yan drank a cup of tea, and his assistant walked in and brought a bunch of documents, all of which were information from the mobile phone dealer.

"Look for more salesmen." Meng Qian looked through these documents, "At the same time, lower the selling price, and the cost price is acceptable. Don't scare people away first."

"If there is no other way, I will consider this." Zong Yan said.

...

Cheating does not mean good weather.

After all, a company that has only been established for two months and is not convincing in the industry.

Giants won’t believe it just because a company says it’s very strong, and they’re busy, and they won’t tear down the supply agreement because of an uncertain technology. As for small and medium-sized merchants, most of the products are mid- and low-end, and the costs are very low. Your batteries are five times higher than what they purchase?

Although Meng Qian told himself that it doesn’t matter, gold will always shine.

But he knew very well that these words were mostly comforting people - there are too many examples of unappreciated talent in this world. The sales dilemma these days is enough to prove that society is more harsh than the ideal world. You have good technology and high quality, but you are buried because you have no fame and high prices.

The communication with mobile phone giants was not smooth, so the company turned its attention to agents, letting them contact the giants through their own channels after getting the goods, and adopting a curved strategy - but the agents also choose brands. They are also full of uncertainty about the future of the product and are even more afraid of backlog of losses.

Either picking on brands or prices, as the new year approaches, the company has not ushered in a new atmosphere of joy. With successive setbacks, Meng Qian even had the idea of ​​cooperating with small and medium-sized businesses at a loss. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was like the rhythm of "the boss jumped off the building at a loss, and cleared the position and sold it"!
