This was the first management meeting after Chen Hansheng revealed his identity to the public. Every senior executive of Nutshell was very excited and excitedly reported the good news.
First was the sales department. The person in charge, Cui Zhifeng, introduced, "Since yesterday, the offline dealer's orders have reached nearly 20,000 units, and it's still increasing. In addition, more than 2,000 individual orders have been remitted. Based on this momentum, our total sales for this month will definitely exceed 150,000 units, or even 200,000 units."
After Cui Zhifeng finished speaking, the conference room spontaneously applauded and congratulated Nutshell for their impressive results.
The unit price of Nutshell's phone was 2,988 yuan. According to the calculation of 150,000 units, the monthly sales would reach 450 million. The cost of a phone was about 1,200 yuan. After subtracting the cost of the phone, the profit would be about 270 million yuan.
After subtracting the research and development costs, staff salaries, performance bonuses, operating costs, and so on, the net profit would be more than 150 million yuan.
When Chen Hansheng first decided to make a phone, many executives did not agree. However, after seeing the results, they felt that it was really good. With the little profit and market capacity of the MP4, they could only achieve such results if they sold it until the end of time.
Nutshell's influence would only grow in the future. Reaching 1 billion in monthly sales was not a dream. No wonder even giant companies like Haier and Lenovo wanted to enter the mobile phone market to make money.
"Maybe this time next year, President Chen will be on the Forbes Rich List."
The executives glanced at the front of the conference room. Chen Hansheng was also clapping behind everyone. From time to time, he would pick up his phone to send messages. He did not seem to be very focused.
"The real sales should be more than this."
Zhao Wei, the deputy chief engineer of the network department, added, "We also sold more than 2,000 units in Nutshell's store and more than 600 units on Taobao."
After Zhao Wei finished speaking with a smile, the conference room was a little quiet. This number was not surprising compared to the tens of thousands of units just now.
In addition, Zhao Wei and Huang Liqian were "foreign executives" who came out of nowhere. Everyone knew that Kong Jing deliberately promoted them to reduce the influence of the "New Century old party".
"Engineer Zhao, you've worked hard."
Kong Jing cleared her throat and said, "Actually, I've learned that the overall scale of online sales is very small. I think it's good to have such an effect on the first day."
Royal Sister Kong took the initiative to speak, and only then did the meeting room burst into applause again.
The chief engineer of the network department, Huang Liqian, coughed and reported, "Mr. Chen, as of now, more than 8,000 users have registered in the Nutshell community. Most of them are young people below the age of 25. From this perspective, more than 8,000 people have registered and more than 2,000 people have bought from the store. This conversion ratio is actually very exaggerated. This shows that our users are very sticky."
"In at most a year, with the continuous promotion of the Nutshell community and the maturation of the e-commerce market."
Huang Liqian said firmly, "I predict that in 2007, the online sales of Nutshell will not be lower than the offline sales of physical platforms. It will even gradually surpass the offline sales. If that's not possible, we can make a bet."
Hearing this, Cui Zhifeng's expression slowly turned serious.
Good heavens, Old Huang is going to challenge the sales department.
This seemed to be a bit funny. The current network department was only one-tenth the size of the sales department, yet they dared to propose a challenge. Even if Boss Chen threw the QQ space and the business of "Strong Dance Troupe" to the network department, Cui Zhifeng still felt that it was impossible.
Chen Hansheng did not favor one department over the other. He merged the publicity department with the sales department, and Cui Zhifeng was directly in charge of the two departments.
"I've been in the sales department since I graduated from university. My education level is not as high as Old Huang and Old Zhao's. They are both top students who have received their doctorates."
Cui Zhifeng thought for a while and replied to the "challenge" of the network department, "But since Old Huang is interested, let's make a bet. The network department versus the sales department. Anyway, it's the end of 2005 now, and 2007 is not far away. Let's see which department has the biggest contribution by then."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Huang Liqian said calmly.
"Are you making the conflict public?"
Kong Jing turned her head and glanced at Chen Hansheng to see if he had the intention to mediate.
"What about gambling?"
Chen Hansheng sat up straight with a smile. Royal Sister Kong heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. The next sentence should be, "We don't advocate gambling. Now, we should work together to build Nutshell Electronics."
However, Chen Hansheng directly deviated from Kong Jing's idea.
"What's the point of gambling if there's no gimmick?"
Chen Hansheng sat up straight, and his eyes were shining. "It's rare that everyone is interested. I'll join in. There's a 300 mu empty land in Hucheng. I'm going to build a branch factory. One year later, whoever wins between Old Huang and Old Cui will be the director of the branch factory. He will also enjoy the equity incentive like Brother Kai."
"Wow …"
As soon as Chen Hansheng finished his words, the conference room was immediately filled with exclamations.
Cui Zhifeng and Huang Liqian were a little dazed. They were originally angry with each other. Huang Liqian wanted to clear the name of the network department, and Cui Zhifeng wanted to continue to maintain the top position of the sales department.
Now, Chen Hansheng directly made such a big bet. In addition to the original desire to win, Cui Zhifeng and Huang Liqian's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The others were very excited when they saw this. Oh my god, the stakes were so high!
Now, Li Xiaokai and Kong Jing were the only two senior executives who enjoyed the equity incentive. After the Nutshell mobile phone went on the market, their net worth would also double. Who wouldn't envy them?
"Alas …"
Kong Jing sighed deeply. She knew that this boss was unreliable.
The gambling between the two departments could barely be considered a "public fight", but Chen Hansheng added such a big bet. This was a "public and private" combination. She could imagine that Old Cui and Old Huang would use all kinds of methods to make money for Nutshell Electronics in the future.
"I'll have to add another task in the future."
Kong Jing thought helplessly. She had to control the internal strife between the two departments within a reasonable range. She couldn't affect the normal development of the company.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the conference room, Chen Hansheng secretly called Xiao Rongyu.
Since Chen Hansheng's identity was exposed, his phone almost never stopped texting. However, he still chose to read and reply.
For example, Liang Meijuan told her son that other than her relatives and neighbors, no one else was that excited. Empress Dowager Liang was originally worried that someone would come to her house to block her.
Another example was Chen Lan. When Chen Hansheng held the mobile phone press conference, he didn't bring her along.
This girl's identity was also very special. She belonged to the "Shen Gang" and the "Xiaoyu Gang". If Chen Lan appeared in the exhibition hall, the effect would be similar to Empress Dowager Liang.
Chen Lan: Sister-in-law, hello.
Chen Lan: Second Sister-in-law, hello.
Chen Hansheng: Dead.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng simply left her behind. Ah Lan was very angry now. At the Nutshell mobile phone press conference, the "Nutshell Princess" was left out. What a shame!
There was also Yang Shichao's message. After watching Chen Hansheng's performance, he was preparing to pack up and go back to his hometown. Now, he was waiting for Chen Hansheng to come back to school for a meal.
Of course, the most important one was Xiao Rongyu's message. Last night, Chen Hansheng slept in Tianjing Mountain District and did something wrong to Little Yu 'er. At the same time, he lied and said that he was "working overtime all night."
In the morning, Xiao Rongyu sent a message. She was a little worried about Chen Hansheng's health and wanted to come to the factory to see her boyfriend.
There were reporters outside. Little Yu 'er's "threatening actions" definitely had to be eliminated. But how could he make her give up on her own accord?
Chen Hansheng realized that everyone in the hall was talking about it. He took the initiative to call Little Yu 'er. However, he didn't put the phone to his ear. Instead, he quietly placed the phone on the table.
"Xiao Chen, are you free now?"
When Xiao Rongyu saw that her boyfriend was calling, she happily picked it up. However, Chen Hansheng's voice did not come from the phone. Instead, there was a noisy discussion.
"Is Xiao Chen there?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hello?"
Xiao Rongyu asked several times in a row, but Chen Hansheng still did not say anything. Little Yu 'er could only hear other people's words.
"This bet is really amazing. It directly decides the director of a new factory."
"Old Chui, you are determined to win."
"Thank you. The sales department has a strong foundation. I actually have a big advantage."
"Old Huang, are you confident?"
"I'll do my best."
… …
"Little Yu 'er!"
Until this moment, Chen Hansheng seemed to have just reacted. He deliberately asked, "Are you the one who called me?"
"Pig ~"
Xiao Rongyu smiled and said, "You accidentally called me. Are you in a meeting?"
"En."
Chen Hansheng said emotionally, "So, the launch of the mobile phone is only the starting point. There are still many things to do. I was too tired from working overtime last night. I accidentally dialed your number just now and didn't even notice. After the meeting, I will go and rest immediately."
"Then, hurry up and go."
Xiao Rongyu was indeed very considerate, "Then, I won't go to Jiangling."
"Ollie, give it to me."
Chen Hansheng let out a breath of relief in his heart. He said, "After I rest well, I will go and have dinner with you tonight."
"Don't be in a hurry, Xiao Chen. After all, you were tired last night."
Although Little Yu 'er missed her boyfriend very much, she still told Chen Hansheng to take care of his health first.
"It's okay."
Chen Hansheng, who had always been thick-skinned, actually felt a little guilty, "Although my career is very important, I can't forget that someone is waiting for me."
After saying this sentence, Chen Hansheng remembered that it sounded a little familiar.
"It seems to be what Hu Linyu said this morning …"
