"What suggestions do you have for the company's development?"
"You are the one in charge. What suggestions do I have?"
"You own the majority of the company's shares, and you don't have any suggestions?"
After dinner, both of them did not leave. Instead, they sat together and talked about the mobile phone glass industry.
Both of them agreed that the mobile phone glass industry had great prospects. However, there was a predicament for Blue Si Shares at the moment. There was a lot of competition in this area. The major mobile phone manufacturers had fixed mobile phone glass suppliers. It was not easy for Blue Si Shares to snatch the market share from others.
"What's your suggestion?"
"I want to contact Glassguide."
"Glassguide?"
Chen Yu paused for a second. "Glassguide mobile phone?"
"Is there a second Glassguide mobile phone?"
"Mainly, I am not interested in Glassguide."
Chen Yu massaged his temples.
It has been decades since he last heard of Glassguide mobile phones.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Glassguide mobile phones were defeated by a series of competitors.
But the current Glassguide is not the same as the Glassguide from his previous life. The current Glassguide is quite strong.
"Glassguide is the number one mobile phone brand in China. If we can get Glassguide, we will have a great chance."
"I am not optimistic about Glassguide's future. Instead of putting our hopes on Glassguide, why don't we work with Nokia?"
"Nokia? Nokia is a global brand, but they are still behind Glassguide in China."
"That might not be the case in a few years."
From 2000 to 2004, Glassguide was the hottest mobile phone brand in China.
But no one expected the market to change so quickly.
After 2004, Nokia started to take over the market.
But Nokia is not the absolute king in the mobile phone industry.
A few years later, after the introduction of smartphones, Nokia and Glassguide are facing bankruptcy.
"Glassguide is the hottest brand in China, but it is mainly in the low-end market. Nokia is a global brand, and Nokia is leading Glassguide in the high-end market. Once they focus on the low-end market, Glassguide will not be their match. If we place all our bets on Glass Guide, we might not be able to survive. "
Chen Yu does not like Chinese products, and he is not supporting Nokia.
He is just a businessman.
He didn't have the ability to influence the market, and he couldn't be the savior of the market.
Chen Yu couldn't care less about Glassman's future.
What Chen Yu hoped for was to be able to grab hold of the benefits involved in the domestic mobile phone competition.
"You're quite far-sighted."
Zhou Yifei pondered over Chen Yu's words.
It had to be said that what Chen Yu said was not without reason.
She was not optimistic about glassware. Although glassware was still the number one product in the market, it lacked competitiveness.
Their product line had always been mid-range and low-end. Once Nokia changed their strategy, Glassdoor would be defeated.
"In addition, the country's economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, and the consumption level of the people has been increasing. Everyone's consumption of high-end phones is also increasing. The profits from the mid-to-low-end cell phone glass market are not high. If we want to make profits, we have to take over the high-end glass market. Since they want to enter the high-end market, Nokia can't let them go. "
Although Chen Yu did not know much about the mobile phone glass market, Chen Yu knew about smartphones. In the future, the mobile phone glass market will make the most money when smartphones appear. Taking over Nokia will allow Lansi's shares to grow rapidly, and they will have the ability to enter the smartphone market.
"I have contacted Nokia's China marketing manager before. Let me ask him out."
Zhou Yifei listened to Chen Yu's analysis, and she made a decision.
"Okay, I will go back first."
"Why are you going back?"
"Back to work."
"Leave after we finish this deal."
"Mobile phone glass is your specialty. I don't know anything about it."
"You still don't know anything about it? Who was the one who made that long speech just now?"
"I was just fooling around. You are the CEO, and I don't care what you do."
"Come on. You own the majority of the company's shares. Although I am mainly in charge of this, don't think that you can just leave everything to me. "
The reason why Zhou Yifei pulled Chen Yu along was not to let Chen Yu be in charge of this deal.
The main reason was that Zhou Yifei felt that Chen Yu was very far-sighted. Even if he did not know much about mobile phone glass, the market was interconnected. If he could understand the big environment and the big market, it would be easy to subdivide the industry. With Chen Yu around, he might be able to play an unexpected role.
At 3 pm, the Nokia China marketing manager that Zhou Yifei had an appointment with arrived.
However, this time, it was not at a restaurant, but at a nearby coffee shop.
"Boss Zhou, long time no see."
"Boss Lee, it wasn't easy for me to get an appointment with you.
"Boss Zhou, you must be joking. The company is too busy, so I came … Who is this young man?"
"I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Chen Yu, my cousin. I brought him here to broaden his horizons."
The Nokia China marketing manager was called Li Zhichao. He wore a pair of glasses and looked about 40 years old. His eyes were small, and he looked very smart. Chen Yu did not say anything. He sat by the side and listened to their conversation.
After some small talk, Zhou Yifei went straight to the point. "Boss Lee, congratulations on Nokia's new models. Look, I'm using your phones."
Zhou Yifei showed the Nokia brand in her hand.
Zhou Yifei had just bought this phone. She did not really buy it for the sake of this deal.
"Boss Zhou, it seems like you are a loyal user of Nokia. This phone has only been out for half a month, and you are already using it."
"Nokia is still the leader in high-end mobile phones. Plus, this phone comes with so many online apps. It is very practical. The only downside is that the glass screen is not as good, but it is still okay. "
"Boss Zhou, you pulled us into your business with just a few words. You are really good."
Li Zhichao gave Zhou Yifei a thumbs up, but shook his head. "The price you quoted to Nokia was a bit high. Our competitors' prices are much lower than yours."
"Boss Lee, our price is already very low. As for our competitors, I believe that their quality is definitely not as good as ours."
"Boss Zhou, the profits in the mobile phone glass industry are huge. Their quality may not be as good as Lansi's. The reason why they gave us a low price is because they value Nokia's huge volume of products. Even if the price is low, if the volume is high, the profits will be considerable. What the higher-ups want is for you guys to lower the price even more. "
"Boss Lee, our price this time is lower than last time. Also, you said the same thing to me last time. "
"Sorry, Boss Zhou. I'm just an employee. I can't make the decision. I can only do what the higher-ups tell me to do. "
"Boss Lee …"
Zhou Yifei frowned.
He knew what Li Zhichao meant.
They didn't refuse, nor did they say that they wanted to cooperate. They just wanted the glass manufacturers to bargain with each other.
When they couldn't bargain anymore, he would choose the one with the lowest price.
This kind of negotiation couldn't go on.
Even if they could, they probably wouldn't make much money from cooperating with Nokia.
"Boss Lee, I heard that Nokia recently opened another production line?"
Chen Yu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interrupted.
"Really?"
Li Zhichao was a little surprised. He didn't understand how Chen Yu knew.
"Boss Lee, you don't have to hide this. I heard that you are also preparing to launch a special edition mobile phone that will be sold exclusively online. If you don't choose a glass manufacturer in the near future, I'm afraid you won't be able to produce any products. "
"This …"
Li Zhichao stared at Chen Yu.
He was thinking. How did Chen Yu know about such top-secret information?
Fine.
How did Chen Yu know?
It wasn't that Chen Yu was a prophet. It was because Nokia's partner was Huanyu Technologies.
