Chapter 41 Special Invitation
"Dr. Jay, your company is in charge of the account of the digital news website, right?"
Zhou Zhen answered Rebus's call with doubts. Listening to Rebus' inquiry on the other side, Zhou Zhen also clearly understood that he couldn't hide it.
Ever since he advertised his short video software on the Digital News Station account, Zhou Zhen clearly understood that the Digital News Station account might have been exposed.
Even if this video has not completely exposed myself, it will be exposed when we negotiate cooperation with various mobile phone manufacturers.
After all, Zhou Zhen’s short video platform software needs to negotiate and sign cooperation with several major mobile phone manufacturers in the past few months.
Sooner or later, several major manufacturers will notice Zhou Zhen’s use of the digital news website account.
"This account is a small account of mine, and the content in it is basically done based on my personal interests. Don't worry, Mr. Lei, my small account's evaluation of all digital technology products is absolutely fair and impartial!"
Seeing that Zhou Zhen could no longer hide himself, he directly showed his hand to Rebus.
That’s right! The digital news site is me, Zhou!
Rebus was not surprised after hearing Zhou Zhen's answer.
After all, after looking up the legal person and person in charge of the advertising company behind the digital news website, and looking at the models of the rice phone 6 series in the video, it is not difficult to guess Zhou Zhen.
Regarding digital news sites, which are similar to new technology self-media accounts, Rebus is very satisfied with them.
Among the videos released by the digital news site, two of them are directly related to the products of the rice company.
The first one is a video of the magic modification of rice phone note2s.
This video caused the popularity of rice phone note2s to rebound from the decline, and the sales of mobile phones that had been gradually declining began to pick up somewhat.
The second video is a review of the new rice phone 6 series.
This video objectively demonstrates the advantages of the Mi Phone 6 series, and also brings enough popularity to the Mi Phone 6, allowing more users to understand the Mi Phone 6 series products.
Overall, what the account of Digital News Station has brought to rice is basically more good than bad.
The current relationship between the two is basically a win-win cooperation.
The digital news website relied on the popularity of rice phones on the Internet to successfully attract a group of fans and converted them into corresponding traffic.
Rice phones also rely on relevant videos from digital news sites to convert corresponding traffic into corresponding popularity.
This allows both parties to gain certain benefits, thus achieving a so-called win-win relationship.
"I just thought about this. Recently, our rice company wants to separate the Redmi series into a new brand. I wonder if Director Jay has any ideas about the Redmi product manager!"
After confirming the identity of the digital leak station, Zhou Zhen was also stunned by Rebus' words.
First, Zhou Zhen did not expect that his words at the original press conference would actually cause the rice company to separate the Redmi brand in advance.
You must know that the Redmi brand became independent in history in 1919, but now it is one and a half years ahead of schedule.
In less than a month, has the rice company internally approved the independent project of Hongmi?
This is really too fast.
But what surprised Zhou Zhen the most was that Rebus actually invited Zhou Zhen to join Redmi.
It is also relatively common in the technology circle for the person in charge of the upstream supply chain to join other technology industries.
For example, a product director of a mobile phone manufacturer is also the general manager of a semiconductor design company.
In the entire mobile phone industry, there are many people in charge of mobile phone companies who hold multiple positions.
However, Zhou Zhen never expected that Rebus would invite him to be the product manager of the Redmi brand.
You must know that even before independence, the Redmi series basically accounted for the majority of rice phone shipments.
Some people even think that the Redmi series can be said to have contributed a lot to the fact that DaMi has been able to gain a firm foothold in the entire mobile phone industry and have a sufficient market share.
Even when Rice was at its most glorious, four of the top ten mobile phones in terms of global mobile phone shipments were produced by Rice, and these four phones were produced by Redmi.
Various data show that red rice has a clear position in rice.
The Redmi series is basically the trump card of rice phones. After this brand becomes independent, shouldn’t it be managed by the company’s most core senior managers?
However, Zhou Zhen thought about it carefully and found that he still thought too much.
After all, historically, after the Redmi brand became independent, its mobile phone managers were none other than the famous Shiwa Singh and Lu Weibing.
Before Lu Weibing became the head of the Redmi brand, he was not a senior executive of the rice company.
You must know that Lu Weibing worked for Tianyu Company in his early days. When Tianyu Company's mobile phone business was about to collapse, he switched to Gionee Company, which was very popular in the industry.
Now Lu Weibing is still the general manager of Gionee, but it is a pity that Gionee's mobile phone business market share has shrunk significantly.
At the same time, the chairman of Gionee is still a deceitful person.
In the first half of 2018, corresponding problems broke out at Gionee, and Lu Weibing, as the general manager, could only leave silently.
However, Lu Weibing, who left Gionee, joined Rice Company half a year later, and became the head of the newly independent Redmi brand in less than two months.
In fact, Rice Company gradually began to move closer to the supply chain system during its slow development. Even many of the company's later senior executives came from the supply chain or other bankrupt mobile phone companies.
In Rebus' eyes, Zhou Zhen is actually a very capable and capable person.
When Zhou Zhenmo modified the rice phone note2s.
Rebus discovered many interesting things. Although it was only a small detail, many problems could be found from such small details.
For chip tuning!
For the design of the back cover of mobile phones!
For the stacking of internal heat dissipation of mobile phones!
In addition, it is an important partner in the rice supply chain.
Putting these many factors together, Rebus felt that Zhou Zhen was indeed a very suitable candidate.
In addition, in recent years, great changes have taken place within the rice company, instead of successively persuading two or three of the company's core executives to resign.
Yes, during this period of time, Rebus had persuaded many of the company's core executives to quit, including two who were core partners when the rice company was established.
These two partners were the veterans who had eaten millet porridge with Rebus in Zhongguancun, the imperial capital.
In essence, these two people are basically one of the founders of the rice company.
Of course, Rebus was forced to do this because after all, the company has been established for so many years. From the gradual rise to glory in the past few years, the current growth has slowed down or even declined.
Rebus clearly understood that some of the core figures in the company had begun to slack off.
And if such people continue to stay in the company, it is not a good thing for the company, and may even damage the company's development.
Faced with this current trend, Rebus is now changing the company's internal management structure. At the same time, Rebus is also preparing to remove a group of core senior figures who have completely lost their motivation and start looking for more like-minded partners.
Of course, from this moment on, the internal high-level management structure of the rice company has undergone tremendous changes, and many managers who were originally in the supply chain began to gradually come to the inside of the rice company.
Even many senior executives from other mobile phone manufacturers have come to DaMi Company and become the core figures of DaMi Company.
In the future, netizens even gave some of the senior executives who had switched jobs from the rice company a very loud name, Avengers.
Chapter completed!
