"Mr. Wu, please also contact Feiying Electric. We currently have a huge demand gap. We never expected that the sales of our ancillary equipment would be so good. The previous preparations were not sufficient." Dong Yiming drank to appease him.
After drinking tea for a while, his mood calmed down a little, and then he remembered talking to Wu Hao.
When Wu Hao heard this, he frowned and said, "About how big the gap is."
Dong Yiming thought for a moment and then replied to him: "Judging from the current sales, there are about 70,000 or 80,000 pieces. But this depends on the sales volume of our smart voice assistant. Everyone is still very interested in smart homes.
of."
Wu Hao nodded after hearing Dong Yiming's words: "I'm actually wondering whether to introduce new brands. Zhang Jun told me before that the two companies Heiniu and Shuxia have sent representatives to contact us after seeing our smart switch.
He expressed his strong intention to cooperate."
"It's not a good idea to change the brand again. Feiying is quite sincere," Dong Yiming advised.
Wu Hao shook his head at this and said: "I know, so it's not about changing brands, but introducing other brands. Feiying's domestic market is good, but its influence abroad is weaker."
"You mean to go abroad?" Dong Yiming's eyes lit up and he asked.
Wu Hao continued to shake his head and said: "No, it's not time yet. If you take too big a step, it will easily lead to delays. Let's take care of our domestic operations first.
And we haven’t developed foreign languages yet, so we can’t go global at all.”
"If you want to become a big company, overseas markets are essential, so I think we need to step up our deployment in this area." Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "The laboratory is already doing relevant research work, and I have asked Lin Jianliang to start looking for relevant English talents.
But you know, English has a wider coverage, has different accents in different regions, and even the use and understanding of some words are different. So it is still quite complicated to actually do it, and we can only start with general English."
"That's good. Compared with English, the coverage is wider and the market is bigger. Countries such as the United States, India, India and Canada all use English." Dong Yiming also agrees with the development strategy.
Wu Hao showed a wry smile at this: "Do you think our products have a chance to enter the US market under the current environment?
Fruit would like to cooperate with us in this area, but they are too greedy, and Zhang Jun is still arguing with these people."
"This is indeed a problem, but we can't give up this huge market just because of a piece of annoying feces. I can't say anything about scientific research, but I suggest that we can talk to Xunyin Technology.
Talk about cooperation. After all, they are doing very well in China in terms of intelligent voice, especially in language translation." Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao shook his head at this and said: "It's very difficult. We have business conflicts with them. If we master the English language, not only can we expand overseas markets, but we can also start real-time translation very quickly."
Once our products have this function, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Xunyin's other translation business. The previous speech recognition technology has already made them nervous, and I don't want to overly stimulate them."
"I don't think they can't see this. Once we do it independently, they won't even have the chance to cooperate. So in order to maintain their advantages in this aspect, I believe they will be willing to cooperate with us.
Even if you can't take the initiative, it's very good to get a fairly objective licensing income." Dong Yiming said with a smile.
Hearing what Dong Yiming said, Wu Hao felt suddenly enlightened. Before, he only looked at it from the perspective of technology and industry, so he ignored it, but what Dong Yiming saw was much more comprehensive than him.
As Dong Yiming said, for Xunyin, which has now sensed the crisis, there are very few roads in front of them. Either they can improve their technology and services, and then wait for Wu Hao and others to gradually master this technology.
Slowly defeat them.
Either it is to stop Wu Hao and others before they master this part of the technology, but from the current point of view, it seems that apart from cooperation, there seems to be no other way to make Wu Hao and others give up their plans to continue research and development.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao smiled: "Okay, when this period of time is over, you can come and talk to them. The conditions can be a little more generous, and they can give up more profits. As long as they are willing to cooperate, this can also save us money."
It’s quite a research and development expense.”
"I'd better forget it and leave it to Mr. Zhang (Zhang Jun) to take charge. We still have a lot of things to do there. I don't know how busy we are in the year of the monkey. I really don't have the experience to take care of these." Dong Yiming shook his head repeatedly.
"Okay, then leave it to Zhang Jun."
Wu Hao nodded and looked at him and said: "That's what I think. After I finish this work, I decided to reorganize the commercial operations department. It was divided into two departments, and the marketing department and the operations department were established respectively.
The marketing department will be handed over to others, and you will be the director of the operations department and the company's deputy general manager. In terms of operations, the company really needs a more experienced manager. After we have gotten along with each other in the past few months, I think you are more suitable."
Dong Yiming was a little surprised when he heard what he said, but then he shook his head and said: "I actually prefer to stay in the marketing department. It gives me a sense of accomplishment to direct these young people to work hard."
"Haha, no wonder people say that the marketing department is as busy as directing a war. It seems that you enjoy it." Wu Hao joked with a smile.
Dong Yiming smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "At my age, I originally looked down upon these things, but during the time spent with these young people, the fire in my heart burned again.
So I just want to struggle and see where my abilities can go."
"The operations department can express your ambitions. As I said just now, wait until you are done with your work. And you are also in charge of market operations in the operations department, so there is no difference. It's just that you were on the front line before, and now you are in charge.
The whole situation is over." Wu Hao looked at Dong Yiming and said sincerely.
On the one hand, he could say these words because he saw Dong Yiming's hard work during this period. On the other hand, he also wanted to use this to get closer to this general.
It is not a good thing for a department to be controlled for too long, not to mention that this is a team he built by himself.
Of course, this is also a good thing for Dong Yiming. This is a rare promotion in itself, not only becoming the head of the operations department but also the deputy general manager of the company. When the company launches an equity or option incentive plan in the future, his position as vice president will definitely be better than his current position.
Very popular.
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Dong Yiming had no choice but to nod.
Dong Yiming, who has been in the workplace for decades, is not clear about this little thought in his heart. However, he also understands that this is an inevitable trend. In an enterprise, leaders will not allow people below to stick around.
situation arises.
Once it occurs, it means that there are many risks that may arise. Therefore, at this time, managers will make corresponding adjustments, split up and transfer, or transfer and promote people. In short, they will keep people within the controllable range.
