"President Liang, I want to resign."
The next day, Zhen Ker Shin walked into the office with her head hung low and handed over an envelope.
Liang Ying, who was sitting on the office chair, raised her head and glanced at her. She pointed to a few documents on the table and said, "Give these documents to President Ling and ask him to sign them."
"President Liang!"
Zhen Ker Shin stomped her feet. "I have no face to continue working here. I don't even know the boss."
"There are many people in the headquarters who don't know the boss. It's not a big deal, start working."
"But I'm different! I've met him many times and even treated him as President Ling's assistant … I, I'm too rude. The boss must hate me. I … I have no face to continue working here. "
Zhen Ker Shin's eyes turned red, as if she had committed a grave mistake.
"Silly girl, if the boss hates you, I would have reminded you that he is the boss. It's the boss who forbade us to tell you. Don't you understand? Throw away the resignation letter and start working. "
"Ah!"
These words stunned her. She thought about it carefully. It seemed that the boss did not hate her. He even added her on WeChat and often chatted with her …
"Yes, WeChat. I must ask the boss why he hid this from me."
But when she was free from work, she took out her phone and opened WeChat. She wanted to voice out her doubts, but she could not send the message no matter how many times she typed.
It was close to noon.
Ding dong.
She received two messages on her phone.
"Assistant Chen" sent them to her.
The first one was a grinning emoji.
The second one was: "How is it? My hosting skills are not bad, right? "
Ah!
At this moment, Zhen Ker Shin felt extremely embarrassed and infuriated at the same time.
It was on purpose.
That guy must have done it on purpose!
…
It was 12 o 'clock on the 16th.
The Little Star First Generation learning machine was available for pre-order on the official website. The first batch of 1 million units would be delivered within 10 days after the order was placed.
But the expected explosive sales did not appear. From the opening of the sale to 6 o 'clock in the evening, six hours had passed. The pre-order of the Little Star learning machine had only just exceeded 500,000 units.
500,000 units in six hours!
For the other products of other companies, this would definitely be a popular product. But for Xing Hai Technologies, it could be said that it was far from their expectations.
However.
Apart from the technical team led by Chen Jin and Song Bo Jun, the rest of the company's executives were doing pretty well.
"It's a success, President Chen. It's not a problem for the Little Star learning machine to exceed one million sales in 24 hours. This is a pretty good result."
"Because the research and development investment for this project is much less than expected, even if we only sell two to three million units, we will have recovered all the costs."
"This project is actually not bad, and the learning machine is better than we expected. It's impossible for us to make a loss, but considering that it's mainly for primary school students, the market for the product isn't that big. If we can sell all five million units, it'll be a great success."
"But there's no need to increase the order. It'll take a long time to sell five million units."
"Let's focus on the robots. The company's learning machine research team and chip research team have more than 2,000 people. The monthly R&D expenditure is more than 200 million. It's really burning money. The sales of the learning machine aren't very optimistic either. If this goes on, we might still lose money."
Deep down, the company's executives were not optimistic about the learning machine project.
How good would it be to be a household robot? Each family had one, and the market value was in the hundreds of millions. What about the learning machine? It would be good enough to sell ten million units, but the research and development of the learning machine would burn a lot of money. The investment/output ratio was too low.
In addition, Xing Hai Technologies dominated the household robot market. There were almost no competitors.
The competition in the education market was fierce. There were countless training institutions, learning machine products, and learning apps. Money was not easy to earn.
The executives hoped that their boss, Chen Jin, would focus on the robots and not forget about the watermelon just to pick a mango.
…
During dinner.
Chen Jin did not have much of an appetite.
He held his phone in his hand and refreshed the Taobao product interface from time to time. He found that after the pre-orders for the Little Star learning machine exceeded 550,000 units, the numbers basically stopped increasing. It was as if it was stuck there.
The first batch of one million units might not be sold out in one go, but it would be a problem to sell them all in two or three days.
"Chen Jin, your learning machine is very good. After watching your product launch, I even placed an order to buy one … how can it not sell well?"
Su Yun, who was sitting opposite him, said.
"Why did you buy the Little Star learning machine? You're not a primary school student. "
Chen Jin looked at her in surprise. He did not quite understand what she was thinking.
"It's too good, so I couldn't help but buy one." Su Yun chuckled and stuck out her tongue.
Chen Jin shook his head and went back to mumbling to himself.
"Wrong, I made a mistake at the beginning of the launch!
I should have sent out invitations and invited the parents and teachers of the students. I should have even invited the primary school students themselves to come and listen to my product introduction. It shouldn't have become a carnival for ordinary netizens.
Why would ordinary netizens buy this? They are not interested in it. Among netizens with children and families, there are not many children who are primary school students. As for the uncles and aunties, they don't know how to surf the internet, they don't know how to browse Weibo, and they don't know how to shop online. With so many factors, no matter how good the Little Star learning machine is, most parents won't know about it.
Unless they adopted a step-by-step approach? The company's advertising bombardment model, using TV programs to brainwash the children, and pointing at them every day, would attract the attention of the parents and evoke their desire to buy it.
At the same time, they had to prepare a large number of offline physical stores and conduct large-scale offline distribution, so that the parents would have the opportunity to buy the Little Star learning machine.
But with this kind of sales model, how could they keep up with the step-by-step approach? There was no difference in the company's sales model for the learning machine. It brought about extremely high distribution costs. Just the TV advertising alone would cost more than a billion every year!
The problem was that Chen Jin did not want to sell his Little Star learning machine in this way. He hated the bombardment of advertising and brainwashing! The profit margin of the Little Star learning machine could not be too low.
But without advertising and going through offline channels, how would the potential users of the Little Star learning machine understand and buy the Little Star learning machine?
In short, this was a very contradictory problem that gave him a headache and a thorny problem.
"Dad, Mom, I'm done eating. I have something to do, I'll go downstairs to rest."
Chen Jin put down his bowl and chopsticks and returned to his room with a troubled look.
…
After Chen Jin went downstairs.
He Hi and Chen Gang had also finished eating and put down their bowls and chopsticks.
"Director, I'll go wash the dishes!"
Su Yun stood up and took the initiative to clear the bowls and chopsticks.
"No need, I'll go wash them."
He Hi called out, but Su Yun had already walked into the kitchen with the bowls. Soon, the sound of dishes being washed could be heard.
"Honey, come here for a moment."
Chen Gang pulled his wife to the balcony outside the living room. Lowering his voice, he whispered in her ear with a serious face, "Honey, why did you bring Little Su to our house? What are you thinking, spending the night here for three to four days a week? Little Su is still a virgin. If word of this gets out, what will others say? How will Little Su be able to conduct herself? "
Chen Gang felt that his wife was getting more and more out of line. She actually disregarded the consequences and brought a female subordinate from the unit to stay at their house.
Especially after their son bought that villa, his wife became even more extreme. She immediately vacated a guest room, tidied it up, and brought Little Su to stay there for a long time, saying that it would be more convenient for them to communicate at work.
But who would believe such a lame excuse?
Chen Gang could not stand it anymore. He felt that He Hi was getting more and more ridiculous.
"What do you know?"
He Hi glared at him. "Do you really want our son to get married after he's 30? Do you really want us to not be able to hold our grandchildren when we retire? "
"I'm retiring at 60. What's the hurry?"
"You're not in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry. This has to be prepared in advance!"
"So you dragged Little Su to stay at our house without even asking if she agrees? He Hi, no matter how anxious others are, they would only urge their children to go on blind dates. Who would do this? "
"Don't worry about it. Our son is mine. I'll arrange everything!"
Glaring at her husband, He Hi told him to mind his own business and keep his mouth shut.
How can you understand my plans? Our son is now a billionaire. In the future, he will be a billionaire and super-rich. There will be countless families and socialites who want to marry him. Can our son resist the temptation? Will our future daughter-in-law be easy to deal with? Everything is unknown!
And the ideal daughter-in-law in her heart is either the type that she thinks is "a good match" or the type that is obedient and sensible. In any case, her son cannot be snatched away!
