You must know that Bodao Company invests as much as 258 million yuan in advertising and marketing expenses every year, but only invests a mere 40 million yuan a year in scientific research!

The investment in scientific research is only one-sixth of the advertising fee. This is the ridiculous situation in Bo Island Mobile.

The person who implemented this strategy was Xu Bo’s cousin, Xu Hua, the head and founder of Bo Island Company!

"Stop using provoking methods, Xu Bo!"

Xu Hua said to Xu Bo with a gloomy expression.

If they weren't related, and if Xu Bo's ability was really good, he would have directly fired Xu Bo, who always opposed his strategy.

Can’t this guy see the pressure from the company?!

The company needs a lot of money to operate. Xu Bo always wants the company to increase investment in scientific research, but has he never thought about where the money comes from?

If you invest more in scientific research, other things will inevitably decrease. This is something you can’t help, after all, there is only so much money.

Take this self-developed system as an example. Microsoft has invested more than 30,000 people in developing the XP system.

Even if the system complexity of the mobile phone is not comparable to that of the XP system, it still needs to be 1/30 of others, that is, 1,000 people.

This Xu Bo always talks about self-developed systems and self-developed systems. He never thought that if the company added more than 1,000 people.

Moreover, these people are not ordinary workers, but highly paid skilled workers. So how much money does the company need to spend on this?

Really, thinking of this, Xu Hua was a little angry that Xu Bo was ignorant and acted too recklessly and immaturely.

Obviously Xu Bo and Xu Hua have huge differences on the development of the company, and neither party can convince them.

But Xu Hua clearly has an advantage. After all, he is the founder and boss of the company, while Xu Bo is just a wage earner. It goes without saying who the company will listen to.

Ignoring Xu Bo's aggrieved expression, Xu Hua turned to look at a bald middle-aged man beside him:

"Okay, Director Lin Hua, I want to ask you if you can develop an ultra-low-price mobile phone specifically for farmers within a month?"

This Lin Hua is the technical director of Bodao Mobile, and he is also the person with the best technology in Bodao Mobile. All Bodao mobile phones were developed under his leadership.

"Such a mobile phone is very simple. We can use the low-end mobile phone technology of our Bo Island mobile phone a few years ago to modify it.

By reducing the screen size, increasing the battery capacity, and thickening the volume for reinforcement, we can create such a so-called migrant worker mobile phone.

However, the profit from such a mobile phone may be very small, and the profit of a single manufactured unit may not exceed 30 yuan.

Unless we use MediaTek chips, we can increase profits by more than ten yuan. However, if we use MediaTek chips, it will take two months to develop them.

After all, our scientific research department is not familiar with MediaTek’s chips, and we used to use TI’s chips before.”

"Okay, let's rush to manufacture the phone with a profit of no more than 30 yuan first, but the other phone must also be designed and manufactured simultaneously. I want to see the phone with MediaTek chip within two months!"

Xu Hua slowly gave the tasks and orders.

"Well, I understand, this matter is very simple."

The technical director named Lin Hua easily agreed. It was easy for him to develop such a mobile phone specifically for migrant workers.

"Then that's it, let's go back and do our own things."

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Xu Hua also turned around and looked at the company's backbones around him, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Afterwards, the key cadres of various companies left the conference room one after another, including Xu Hua, the company's boss.

"Oh, if this continues, the company will suffer sooner or later."

Xu Bo, who was still sitting on the stool with a gloomy face, sighed deeply.

To be honest, this is not the first time he has suggested that the company increase investment in scientific research, but he is just a wage earner and he really cannot influence the will of the company.

"Well, I hope foreign companies can pay attention to the Chinese market later. If those foreign companies increase their investment, I'm afraid our Bodao Mobile Phone Company will be in danger."

Nowadays, Bo Island Mobile Phone Company has fallen into blind optimism, especially after this year, Bo Island Mobile Phone Company completely defeated Motorola and successfully topped the Chinese quarterly sales championship.

The entire Bo Island Company is boiling and falling into a state of expansion!

This is a kind of arrogance that does not take any company in the country, including foreign companies, into consideration!

Under this situation, Bo Island Company began crazy acquisitions and crazy expansion, without realizing that it was falling into a crisis.

At this time, Xu Bo did not know that later generations had proved that Xu Bo's worries were correct.

In 2005, Bodao Company suffered a huge loss, which reached a terrifying amount of more than 500 million yuan!

This is close to two years of advertising investment by Bo Island Company. It can be said that this loss has completely devastated Bo Island Company.

Bodao Company would later collapse in a few years. It can be said that it had a lot to do with the blind optimism after defeating Motorola this year and the subsequent aggressive expansion with losses of more than 500 million yuan!

"The enemy of Bo Island is not outside, but inside."

Xu Bo looked at the empty conference room and sighed deeply.

At this time, he seemed to experience the distress of Emperor Chongzhen back then. On the one hand, foreign enemies were becoming stronger and more unscrupulous, and on the other hand, domestic refugees were rebelling everywhere.

Finally, when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, he realized that the real enemy was in the court!

…

"General manager."

There was a knock on the door of Lin Xuan's office.

"Come in."

Lin Xuan, who was reviewing and approving the company's business and reports, raised his head and said.

"What's wrong with Secretary Chen?"

Seeing Secretary Chen holding something in his hand, Lin Xuan asked curiously.

"General Manager, this is an invitation letter from Shanghai Market to the "Industry Summit"."

Secretary Chen He and Chen placed an invitation letter in front of Lin Xuan.

“Invitation to the industry summit, and it’s also being sold overseas?”

Lin Xuan said in surprise.

Lin Xuan recalled that there was indeed such an industry summit in Daxia. This industry summit would attract a certain amount of attention in later Internet eras.

Why does it attract people's attention?

Because in such industry summits, many countries' proposals for the next development strategy are often revealed, as well as various technology companies' progress performance reports, product launches, and their goals, etc.

The industry summit can be said to be a grand event for ordinary people and even company bosses to understand the current market conditions, understand the trends of major companies, understand the current level of technological development, discover business opportunities, etc.!

Every year when such an industry summit is held, it must be the focus of the news media.

Any action or news made here will take advantage of the focus of the news media to instantly make the event famous across the country and even the world.
