Chapter 229: Rebus’s mentality has collapsed and he plans to socialize(1/4)

"Diversified development... Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology are really amazing!"

Rebus looked at the hot searches with an extremely complicated expression, and even regretted it:

"I have been an angel investor all my life. I have a sharp eye and have made a lot of money. But I didn't expect that I missed the most powerful Meiyou technology! Alas!"

A sigh of helplessness.

If he had paid attention to Meiyou Technology earlier and invested in Meiyou earlier, he would have already made a lot of money.

But unfortunately, Meiyou’s technology is developing too fast.

Like many investors, by the time Rebus paid attention to Meiyou, Meiyou was already fully fledged. Not only did she have hundreds of millions of dollars in her account, she was also earning tens of millions a day, so she was not short of money at all.

Later, Meiyou's revenue became even more terrifying and its funds were abundant. They began to invest abroad, let alone accept investment.

If that's the case, that's all. Wang Yi has also diversified his development, from clothing and beauty to the mobile phone industry, becoming the biggest rival of Xiaomi mobile phones!

Rebus's head was as big as a bucket: "Our first batch of Xiaomi orders is 300,000 units, and Xingyi Mobile has ordered 30 million chips, half of which are application chips and half of which are baseband chips. It is at least the size of 15 million mobile phones!"

"The first batch of orders starts at 5 million units. It's so cruel!"

"This is all just to cause trouble!"

"You are so tidy and well-stocked, how can I be hungry for marketing?"

According to Rebus's plan, Xiaomi sells for 1,999, and the initial OEM material cost + tax is 1,500, which makes no money at all.

Years ago, we stocked up to 300,000 units, engaged in hunger marketing, and created a gimmick that millions of people would grab, just to make Xiaomi's name famous.

After the year, the material cost + tax will drop to 1,200, and the profit will be high. If we purchase components in large quantities, mass produce, and ship them, we can make huge profits.

But now, Xingyi mobile phones have no morals at all and are directly available in millions of dollars. If Xiaomi is hungry for marketing and runs out of stock, it will be over!

What should consumers do if they can’t buy Xiaomi phones and turn around and buy Xingyi phones?

Thinking of this, Rebus' face became a little ugly, and he immediately called several senior partners to hold an emergency video conference:

"Everyone has seen the interview with Meiyou Technology. President Song directly admitted to diversified development and officially announced the Xingyi mobile phone. In fact, it is a kind of sword, a sword against our Xiaomi mobile phone! How are you going to deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, several senior executives fell silent.

The advent of the Xingyi mobile phone and its large-volume ordering strategy completely disrupted Xiaomi's hunger marketing strategy.

After a brief silence, a partner in charge of marketing spoke in a deep voice:

"I'm also thinking about this. First of all, hunger marketing will definitely not work anymore. We must give up the previous strategy, purchase a large amount of components as soon as possible, mass produce, ship, and seize market share!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the supplier director quit: "No, the cost is too high now. Mass production and shipment are not profitable at all, and it will seriously affect our profit margin. At least until late December, when the cost drops to 1,200, we can

We purchase components on a large scale, produce them, and ship them in January.”

"Wait until January for shipment? The day lilies are already cold. I received the latest news that the prototype of the Xingyi mobile phone has been made. I will test it again and there will be no problem. It will be mass-produced in mid-November and mid-December.

It will be launched soon!”

"Yes, it's too late for us to wait until December for large-scale purchase and mass production. Even if we don't make money now, we have to purchase components as soon as possible, distribute goods as soon as possible, and seize the market!"

"But in this case, I'm afraid all our funds will have to be invested, and there won't be much profit at all."

"We have to increase production even if there is no profit. Survival is the most important thing. Now we need to purchase components on a large scale, increase production capacity, and rush to ship large-scale shipments before Xingyi mobile phones are launched. This will not only increase our market share, but also seize Xingyi mobile phones.

market share, totally cost-effective!”

"No, if there are too many goods and we can't sell them, it will be over!"

"Don't worry, our Xiaomi mobile phones are selling like hotcakes right now. The price/performance ratio is unbeatable at 1999, so they will definitely sell well!"

"You are too optimistic. That's because the Xingyi mobile phone is not on the market and we are selling well. If the Xingyi mobile phone is also sold at a low price and directly cuts off our future, then we will be finished."

"You are overthinking. Xingyi phones may not be sold at the low end. What if they sell for 3,000+?"

"You are too optimistic. We can still sell it for 3,000+. But what if they just sell it for 2,499 to seize the market? Then we are doomed!"



Several partners were divided into two groups, and they were furious.

Rebus sighed and motioned for everyone to quiet down:

"What you both said makes sense. But unfortunately, we can't control the pricing of Xingyi mobile phones. All we can decide is Xiaomi's future!"

"If we increase production immediately, Xiaomi can give it a try. It may be an abyss, or it may be a broad road."

"If Xiaomi does not increase production and continues like this, no matter what price it sells when the Xingyi phone is launched, Xiaomi's future will not be good."

"It can be said that if we fight hard, we have hope of winning. If we don't fight, we will definitely die."

Rebus sighed, speaking with emotion and acting with reason: "Okay, that's it, let's vote by a show of hands. Those who don't agree to increase production, raise their hands!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The four partners raised their hands one after another. They were considered conservatives.

Rebus nodded: "Raise your hands if you agree to increase production!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Four more people raised their hands, considered radicals.

"4:4!" Rebus frowned slightly, looked at the partners who didn't raise their hands twice, and said with a smile: "Are you going to abstain?"

"Yes, we haven't figured out what to do yet."

Rebus nodded: "If it's five to four, I also agree to increase production!"

Saying that, Rebus also raised his hand.

He is still very courageous: "If you work hard, you will survive, but if you don't work hard, you will die. I also support increasing production!"

"Okay. Five to four, the resolution to increase production is passed." Rebus took a deep breath:

"The next step is to contact the dealers and increase the order. As for the scale, first... add 500,000 units and deliver them as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Soon, several senior executives went to work and made calls one by one.

"Mr. Tanaka, we at Xiaomi Technology plan to add 500,000 sets of rear camera modules."

"Okay, no problem, Sony welcomes you."

"When can it be delivered? Can it be delivered in mid-November?"

"November? Sorry, it must be late December at least."

"Ah? Why?" Xiaomi executives were shocked.

"It's like this. Xingyi Mobile has placed an order for 5 million rear lenses + 5 million front lenses. Now they are urging the orders. As a result, a lot of Sony's production capacity has been given to Xingyi Technology. Your order is at least

It won’t be available until a month later.”

Xiaomi senior executive: “…”

On the other side, someone also contacted Sharp:

"Mr. Ito, we Xiaomi Technology need to order 500,000 additional screens, yes, they are still of the old specifications."

"No problem, we will arrange it as soon as possible."

"When can it be delivered?"

"It's hard to say. It will probably be shipped in one and a half months."

"Ah? Then it's only been two months since the goods arrived? Why!"

"Sorry, Xingyi Technology placed an order for five million screens at one time, and half of our production capacity was given to them. The remaining production capacity was also arranged for other customers. There is really no excess production capacity."

"This..." Xiaomi executives were desperate.

A similar scene also appeared at Qualcomm.

But Rebus doesn’t know this yet, and he is still full of confidence:

"If you work hard, as long as you add 500,000 yuan to the order of components in November, you can sell 500,000 more Xiaomi phones in December and grab a lot of market share! Even if you don't make money, at least you can make stars.

Yi Technology feels uncomfortable.”

"The price of 1999 has penetrated Meizu's future and can also block Xingyi mobile phones!"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't make money. As long as it defeats its competitors and squeezes it out of the market, Xiaomi will be the winner!"

However, just when Rebus was sure of victory, a phone call came:

"Boss, something bad is going on. Most of Sony's lens production capacity has been given to Xingyi Mobile Phones. It will take at least a month and a half before they can be shipped to us."

"how so?"

Rebus sighed and felt bad: "It's okay, I'll contact Sony personally later!"

However, before Rebus could contact Sony, another call came:
