Chapter 42 Conditions
Become a Redmi product manager...
To be honest, Zhou Zhen himself had not thought of it.
Zhou Zhen wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to.
Although the overall reputation of the rice company can be described as mixed.
Users who like DaMi Company praise DaMi Company's products for their high cost performance.
Users who don't like Rice Company feel that Rice Company's products have a low yield rate, poor user experience, and even have some animal titles added to them.
Of course, Zhou Zhen has been in the technology field for so many years and has some understanding of various mobile phone brands.
In Zhou Zhen's view, as long as a mobile phone brand exists, it has a certain rationality. Each mobile phone brand has certain advantages and certain disadvantages.
All things need to be viewed rationally, and users need to focus on the product itself and the corresponding product technology innovation.
Don't be a so-called "die fan", but choose the corresponding products according to your own needs.
If you need high-end experience and worry-free intelligent interconnection, choose Juchang.
If you need a simple system experience and corresponding fluency and performance advantages, then choose Guozi.
If you need cost-effectiveness and want to enjoy the flagship experience at the lowest price, then choose Rice.
If you want a more refined appearance and faster charging, then choose Green Factory.
If you want a more perfect selfie and photo experience, as well as the corresponding beauty of your phone, choose Blue Factory.
If you want a more extreme price/performance ratio, then choose Redmi and sub-brands of some manufacturers.
As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. Every mobile phone manufacturer has certain shortcomings, but it is undeniable that every manufacturer has certain advantages.
What users need to do is to choose the products they need according to their needs.
In the mobile phone industry, there is no perfect mobile phone brand, only the brand that is most suitable for users.
The reason Zhou Zhen wanted to refuse was simply because he was worried about being labeled as rice.
As Zhou Zhen aspires to become the top upstream supply chain of various mobile phone manufacturers, it would not be a good thing for Zhou Zhen to be labeled as a rice company.
If some rice labels are affixed, other manufacturers may still have some grudges when cooperating.
And when consumers look at Zhou Zhen in the future, they will often not remember that Zhou Zhen is the boss of a certain upstream supply chain company, but the person in charge of the Redmi brand of the rice company.
There are reasons to refuse, and there are also reasons not to refuse.
First of all, the current Rouyu Company itself is still somewhat labeled as a rice company.
At the same time, most of the screens of Rouyu Company are supplied to Rice Company, and Rice Company has become the largest supplier of screens to Rouyu Company.
The current development of Rouyu Company can be described as somewhat contradictory.
It not only needs to rely on Rice Company to consume most of the screen production capacity, but also does not want to be directly tied to Rice Company.
After all, if the current company relies entirely on rice, then if one day the rice company suddenly stops using the screens of Rouyu Company, it will definitely be a huge blow to Rouyu Company.
Judging from Rebus' frequent trips to Bangzi Country in recent months, Rebus is also supportive and wary of Rouyu Company.
Not only are they using the screens of Rouyu Company, but they also want to re-open the supply chain relationship of Sansang.
Rouyu is also trying every means to open up cooperative relationships with various manufacturers. For example, the latest top-notch R3 material OLED screen has completely reached a plan to invest and build a factory with Ju Factory.
Juchang is responsible for paying for the land to build the factory, as well as purchasing the corresponding production equipment and the corresponding equipment for the production line.
Rouyu Company is responsible for providing technology and corresponding production engineers.
As for the division between the two factories, it will be divided according to the principle of 50-50.
At the same time, Rouyu has also begun negotiations with the supply chain leaders of several companies including Berry Clan, Blue Factory, and Green Factory for more in-depth cooperation.
Generally speaking, the current Rouyu Company mainly relies on the rice company as the main shipping channel, and is also trying its best to find other channels as a corresponding guarantee.
The current cooperative relationship between the two companies is basically in a state of cooperation and mutual ideas.
To put it simply, the two companies are not of the same mind at all.
If Zhou Zhen truly becomes Redmi's product manager, the relationship between the two companies will be further strengthened, and Rouyu's status as rice's main supply chain partner will also be stronger.
At the same time, Zhou Zhen’s gaze is not limited to the screen.
In the future, Zhou Zhen will fill up his technology tree with various technologies, including batteries, chips, sensors, etc.
After becoming the product manager of Redmi, when considering the supply chain, you can first consider the supply chain system with yourself as the core.
This should be regarded as a way of "going through the back door".
On the other hand, Zhou Zhen now needs enough reputation points and enough income points.
Becoming a Redmi product manager can gain enough reputation and income.
You must know that before Lu Weibing became the product manager of Redmi, his reputation in the entire industry was not obvious. Even in the technology circle, few people knew about this figure.
After becoming the head of Redmi, Lu Weibing's reputation began to gradually rise, and he gained enough popularity in the entire technology field and mobile phone industry.
If Zhou Zhen becomes Redmi's product manager, he will most likely consider using Rouyu's OLED screens in the next mid- to low-end product lines of Redmi products.
It also brings enough reputation value to Rouyu Company.
There are pros and cons!
Sure enough, nothing is perfect in the world.
Agree? Or not?
"Mr. Lei, to be honest, I don't know much about the mobile phone industry. How could you have the idea of inviting me?"
Zhou Zhen picked up the phone and asked Rebus tentatively. At this time, he did not directly answer yes or no.
After all, Zhou Zhen didn't know whether what the other party said was true or just a so-called test.
Maybe the invitation was just a joke?
Until something like this comes true, I can't take him seriously.
Just like love sometimes, two people are obviously just playing for fun, and whoever takes it seriously loses.
"I don't think Director Jay Chou should belittle himself. If Director Jay Chou is willing to join our company, the annual salary plus the company's equity dividend will be at least eight figures..."
"And recently Zhenyu Company is also disbanding our rice company. As long as Chairman Jay is willing, our rice company is also willing..."
At this time, Rebus calmly proposed corresponding conditions to Zhou Zhen.
Of course, the initial so-called annual salary plus corresponding equity dividends is not the most important negotiation condition.
Is the chairman of Rouyu Company short of tens of millions in annual salary and dividends?
Definitely not bad!
Rebus knew that Zhou Zhen was a sensible person, and that the annual salary was just a superficial matter. The real meaning was the equity dividend.
As long as you, Zhou Zhen, come to work at Daomi Company, you will be a core member of the company, and the Rouyu Company and Zhenyu Company that you represent will also be the core components of Daomi.
Rouyu Company will become the core supply chain partner of Rice Company.
The newly established Zhenyu Company will also receive a lot of help from Rice.
First of all, among the corresponding application stores and the applications that come with the mobile phone at the factory, there will be Kuaiyin short video owned by Zhenyu Company.
In addition, corresponding advertisements of Zhenyu Company will also be embedded in a series of applications that come with Dami's systems, as well as corresponding simulation software.
Even the rice company can directly open a link to the rice account, so that rice phone users can directly log in to the corresponding video software through the rice account, bringing traffic to the corresponding short video software.
It can be said that Zhou Zhen was very moved by the corresponding conditions proposed by Rebus this time.
