But I am not him. Kuke rubbed his temples. No matter what, Apple's record must be maintained. At least during my tenure, Apple must not decline!
Kuke had a determined look in his eyes. The world's number one market is still the North American market. Even if they had lost in the Chinese market, they must not let Hongxin take advantage of them in the North American market!
As for the Smart Glasses, this project was still in Apple's database. But now, it seems that they must start to implement it.
… …
The success of the Smart Glasses is another good news for Hongxin Electronics this year. While they are surprised, they still need to get busy.
The Smart Glasses project will be the second biggest product after smartphones. That's why they need to set up an operations team and management team.
Lu Zixin is busy with this project, and he needs to decide on some of the higher-ups' appointments.
"Xie Qian wants to be in charge of the Smart Glasses' operations?" Lu Zixin looked at his subordinate's application and asked Su Zhirong. "How is his capability?"
Wearing her smart glasses, Su Zhirong retrieved Xie Qian's information from the database of the Human Resources Department and analyzed it. "Xie Qian has been in this job for one year and one month. He has been in charge of the sales of Hongxin smartphones. His ability is above A +, so he can be employed."
Lu Zixin has some impression of Xie Qian. When Su Xiaomeng came to Shenzhen City, Xie Qian had helped her with some matters.
"Is it easy to fill his position?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Yes, there are a few reserve candidates." Su Zhirong nodded.
"Ok. Then give him a chance. Let him be the Chief Operating Officer of the Smart Glasses. If his performance is good, he will be promoted to Senior Vice President. If his capability is not good, he will be demoted." Lu Zixin decided.
After solving one problem, Su Zhirong asked another question. "We still do not have any updates on our operations in the US. The three major operators are not clear on their positions."
Hongxin's smartphone market is different from other companies if they want to enter the overseas market. For example, they can enter Southeast Asia, India, and other markets. This is related to the local consumption.
Hongxin smartphones are priced at 5,000 to 6,000 RMB in China. If they are sold overseas, the price will be even higher. If they were to sell it in India, Myanmar, and other neighboring countries, the sales would be very poor. At that time, they might even lose money.
Therefore, Hongxin's route was to enter a country with a relatively developed market economy. The first to bear the brunt was the North American market, which was the world's largest market for smart products. And the United States was the most important.
"Is it because of information security issues?" Lu Zixin asked.
"That's probably the case." Su Zhirong nodded. "It's hard to say exactly why. Our colleagues in the International Business Expansion Department said that the three major telecommunications operators in the United States, Verizon, ATT, and Sprint + T-Mobile, are actually interested in cooperating with us, but they are not sure, so they are dragging it out. "
"Oh, I didn't expect that we would also encounter the same problem as Hua Wei," Lu Zixin said with a smile.
Hua Wei's mobile phones were stopped by the carriers in the United States, and that's why they could not enter the US market.
The main reason was because the US Congress had called the Federal Communications Commission to investigate the possible information security issues in Hua Wei's mobile phones.
Because of this, Hua Wei's mobile phones cannot be sold in the United States through official channels and can only be sold online. Hua Wei's mobile phones, which sell more than 100 million RMB annually, are not selling as well as some low-end products in the United States.
Now, Hongxin's mobile phones want to enter the United States market, but the three major telecommunications operators did not directly cooperate with them. Obviously, they have their own concerns. Maybe they had heard some rumors and did not dare to cooperate with Hongxin before they are sure.
Su Zhirong gave Dong Xuebing a helpless look and said, "Different countries have different policies. We can't do anything in this short period of time."
"We have not officially agreed to cooperate with the carriers, and the US Federal Communications Commission did not approve our product review. We can only wait."
"What about the other countries?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Currently, our products have been approved to be sold in Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries. We are applying for the approval to be sold in Korea, Japan, and Europe," Su Zhirong said, "If nothing goes wrong, we can enter the Japanese market next month."
"The Japanese carriers also want to invite you and President Tang to Edo to attend Hongxin's product launch!"
"Edo? Product launch? " Lu Zixin thought for a while and said, "I am interested. In the past, it was the downstream manufacturing industries that were exported to Japan. It's time for us to use high-tech products to earn their money!"
Lu Zixin had just decided to go to Japan next month when he received a call before he got off work.
It was an unknown number. According to the smart recognition of Hongxin's mobile phone manager, it did not represent advertising. Lu Zixin picked up the phone and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Lu Zi?" An excited voice came from the phone.
"It's me. You are? "Lu Zixin felt that the voice was familiar, but he could not remember who it was.
"Damn, you can't even recognize my voice? I am Di Chao! "That person said.
"Di Chao?" Lu Zixin remembered immediately. This was one of his college roommates! During the first six months after graduation, they were still in contact. However, Di Chao went back to his hometown to develop his career, and they had less contact.
Later, he changed his phone number and WeChat, and Lu Zixin had no contact with him. Thinking about it, it had only been two years. They were good friends before graduation, but now, they could barely recognize each other's voices.
"I was wondering why your voice was so familiar. It's you. How have you been? "Lu Zixin asked.
"I'm doing fine. I'm just idling. How about you? " Di Chao asked. "I know all my roommates in the dormitory, but you are so mysterious. I don't even see you in the class group chat."
Lu Zixin was too busy with so many things. How could he have time for the class group chat? Besides, that group chat had become dead. Last year, he had sent a red packet in the group chat, but someone had secretly snatched it. He did not know whether it was a cheat or a lurker.
"I'm okay. I'm much better than before," Lu Zixin said modestly.
"Haha, you are just getting started. Take it slow." Di Chao thought that he was embarrassed to say it, so he comforted him.
"By the way, are you free next month?" He asked again.
"I have something to do next month. What's the matter?"
"Well, I'm getting married next month. I'm calling to inform you. If it's convenient, can you come and join in the fun?" Di Chao finally said his purpose.
Lu Zixin was speechless. It was no wonder that people said that classmates who had not contacted for a long time suddenly contacted each other were most likely getting married.
However, he did not care. Di Chao was not around. He had taken care of him in college, so he was willing to join in the fun.
Lu Zixin asked about the date. Before he left for Japan, he promised, "Okay, I will definitely go."
