"Do you think I didn't give you any face?" When all the bosses returned to their own companies, Boss Jia asked Wang Chuanfu to stay and then said faintly, "Don't worry.
"No, my battery really can't make it. There's nothing to argue about!" Wang Chuanfu lowered his head and said.
"I said the same thing to your previous general manager. In the end, he couldn't stand the humiliation and chose to jump ship. Can't you stand it? "Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Boss, look at how shameless I am. That's nothing. But when I really develop a battery that meets your requirements, you have to apologize for what you said today in person!" "Okay," Zhang Zian said.
"Hahaha! No problem. If BYD can really do that, I'll personally apologize to all BYD employees! "Boss Jia patted Wang Chuanfu's shoulder. Wang Chuanfu went back to do his research energetically.
After arranging the task of mass-producing the mobile phone, Boss Jia stayed with his family for a few days. When Boss Jia stole half a day of leisure, a big event happened in Hua Xia.
Of course, this was a big event in Boss Jia's eyes. But in the eyes of ordinary people in Hua Xia, it was not a big deal at all.
On April 12, 1995, Nokia's office in China suddenly held a press conference and invited many reporters to participate. At this press conference, Nokia officially announced the establishment of Nokia's China branch. At the same time, they would jointly establish Nokia's China production base with domestic capital. They would produce Nokia mobile phone accessories in China.
At the same time, Nokia would sincerely recruit distributors in Hua Xia for the right to sell Nokia mobile phones.
At this conference, Nokia officials showed five different models of mobile phones in different sizes and shapes. Among them, there was a domineering mobile phone like Boss Jia's, and there was also a small and exquisite one similar to Boss Jia's mobile phone. Anyway, the variety was very comprehensive and could meet the needs of all kinds of people.
This news was indeed meaningless to most ordinary people. In their minds, they would never be able to afford a mobile phone in their lifetime.
However, in Boss Jia's eyes, he knew that the Daqian had another tough battle ahead of them. However, this time, their opponent was the giant of the mobile phone industry, Nokia.
In a few days, Motorola would also announce that it would enter the Hua Xia market in large numbers. When that time came, even Boss Jia wasn't sure if the Daqian's mobile phone would be popular in the market.
Of course, this battle was still too early. After all, it will take at least half a year for Da Qian to complete mass production. As for Nokia, it will take at least a year to complete all the preparations. However, Nokia already has a ready-made production base in Finland, and they can transfer the goods directly from Finland. Therefore, Nokia will be able to dominate the market in the early stages.
Although Boss Jia was a little worried, he was never afraid of competition. When the time comes, everyone will know who's better.
After asking his people to pay attention to Nokia's information and developments, Boss Jia flew to the United States. This time, Boss Jia had a lot of tasks to do in the United States.
The first and most important task was to build a sales network for VCD players in the United States. After the Daqian VCD players were successful in Fusang, Boss Jia set his sights on the United States.
If the United States could sell their VCD players to him for more than 10 million NT dollars like Fusang, then Boss Jia would really make a fortune. But this time, Boss Jia did not dare to use Fusang's tactic of getting the goods first and paying for the goods later.
There was no choice. The people in the United States were too low-class, especially some of them. They would go to supermarkets and banks to rob. If you told them that you could give them the VCD players for free, they would come over with a smile to claim the VCD players. At most, they would pay a month's membership fee, and after that, you will never be able to find them again.
Even if you left your personal information and address, it was useless. These people did not have money, and they would even go to jail for a few days. What can you do to them?
That's why Fusang's tactic could not be used in the United States. Sony knew this very well. Sony's influence in the United States was much stronger than the Daqian. Also, Sony had started to sell their VCD players in the United States. However, the price was 1,200 USD per VCD player.
Hmmm … … Sony does not dare to sell their VCD players at the crazy prices in the US.
In China, the VCD players only needed to pay 3,000 Yen a month, and most of the buyers were cheated. But in the United States, it was a one-time payment. If Sony followed Fusang's pricing, 3,000 USD per VCD player, no one would buy the VCD players.
But even if it was 1,200 USD per VCD player, the sales were still very low. It was said that two months ago, Sony's VCD player sales in the United States was not even 2,000 units. Sony had given up on selling their VCD players in the United States. At most, they would place their VCD players on the counter.
The reason for this was because the United States and Fusang were the same. Both of them had developed VCRs. Almost every household had a VCD player. If you want to replace your VCD player and buy a new VCD player, many United States citizens would find it difficult to afford it.
Don't think that people in the United States had a high income. Every month, they were earning a few thousand USD. How could they not afford a VCD player that cost 1,200 USD per VCD player?
United States citizens might have a high income, but United States citizens were the type of people who liked to spend more. If you check their bank accounts, you will find out that the average United States citizen does not even have 500 USD in savings.
That was why when Boss Jia came to the United States, he called Orrence and his son over. They already had a reliable channel to sell their VCD players. Naturally, they would sell their VCD players through the United States Daqian Puzzle Factory.
Boss Jia wanted them to brainstorm on how to enter the VCD player market in the United States.
Unfortunately, Orrence and his son were pure Americans. They could not do anything about this situation. In history, the main reason why people in the United States decided to replace their old VCRs was because of the appearance of DVDs.
Because DVDs had a much better picture quality than VCRs and Blu-ray's HD, watching a movie at home and watching a VCD player at home were on a completely different level. With such a huge difference, people in the United States gradually threw away their VCRs and switched to DVDs.
Although the picture quality of VCD players was better than VCRs, to be honest, the difference was limited. Once people saw the difference, they would not immediately have the urge to buy a VCD player.
"F * ck, do I really not have any other ideas?" Boss Jia scratched his head. It was the first time he felt so helpless in a situation.
