"Mr. Wu, please also contact Feiying Electric. We currently have a huge demand gap. We never expected that the sales of our ancillary equipment would be so good. The previous preparations were not sufficient." Dong Yiming drank to appease him. After drinking tea for a while, his mood calmed down a little, and then he remembered talking to Wu Hao.
When Wu Hao heard this, he frowned and said, "About how big the gap is."
Dong Yiming thought for a moment and then replied to him: "Judging from the current sales, there are about 70,000 or 80,000 pieces. But this depends on the sales volume of our smart voice assistant. Everyone is still very interested in smart homes. of."
Wu Hao nodded after hearing Dong Yiming's words: "I'm actually wondering whether to introduce new brands. Zhang Jun told me before that Heiniu and Shuxia have sent representatives to contact us after seeing our smart switch. He expressed a strong intention to cooperate."
"It's a bit bad to change the brand again. Feiying is quite sincere." Dong Yiming advised.
Wu Hao shook his head at this and said: "I know, so it's not about changing brands, but introducing other brands. Feiying has a good market in the domestic market, but its influence abroad is weaker."
"You mean to go abroad?" Dong Yiming's eyes lit up.
Wu Hao continued to shake his head and said: "No, it's not time yet. If you take too big a step, it will easily lead to delays. Let's take care of our domestic operations first.
Moreover, we have not yet developed foreign languages and cannot go global at all. "
"If you want to become a big company, overseas markets are essential, so I think we need to step up our deployment in this area." Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "The laboratory is already doing relevant research work, and I have asked Lin Jianliang to start looking for relevant English talents.
But you know, English has a wider coverage, has different accents in different regions, and even the use and understanding of some words are also different. So it is quite complicated to actually do it. We can only start with general English. "
"That's good. Compared with English, the coverage is wider and the market is bigger. Countries such as the United States, India, India and Canada all use English." Dong Yiming also agrees with the development strategy.
Wu Hao showed a wry smile: "Do you think our products have a chance to enter the US market under the current environment?
Fruit would like to cooperate with us in this area, but they are too greedy. Zhang Jun is still arguing with these people. "
"This is indeed a problem, but we can't give up this huge market just because of a piece of annoying feces. I can't say anything about scientific research, but I suggest that we can talk to Xunyin Technology Talk about cooperation. After all, they are doing very well in the country in terms of intelligent voice, especially in language translation." Dong Yiming suggested to him.
Wu Hao shook his head at this and said: "It is very difficult. We have business conflicts with them. If we master the English language, we will not only be able to expand overseas markets, but we will also be able to do real-time translation very quickly.
Once our products have this function, it will definitely be a fatal blow to another translation business of Xunyin. The previous speech recognition technology has already made them nervous, and I don't want to overly stimulate them. "
"I don't think they can't see this. Once we do it independently, they won't even have the opportunity to cooperate. So in order to maintain their advantages in this area, I believe they will be willing to cooperate with us.
Even if you cannot take the initiative, it is very good to obtain a fairly objective licensing income. Dong Yiming said with a smile.
Hearing what Dong Yiming said, Wu Hao felt suddenly enlightened. Before, he only looked at it from the perspective of technology and industry, so he ignored these, but what Dong Yiming saw was much more comprehensive than him.
As Dong Yiming said, for Xunyin, who has now sensed the crisis, there is very little road ahead of them. Either improve their own technology and services, and then wait for Wu Hao and others to gradually master this technology and slowly defeat them.
Or stop Wu Hao and the others before they master this part of the technology. But from the current point of view, it seems that apart from cooperation, there seems to be no other way to make Wu Hao and the others give up their plans to continue research and development.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao smiled: "Okay, when this period of time is over, you can come and talk to them. The conditions can be a little more generous, and they can give up more profits. As long as they are willing to cooperate, this can also save us money." It’s quite a research and development expense.”
"I'd better forget it and leave it to Mr. Zhang (Zhang Jun) to take charge. We still have a lot of things to do there. I don't know how busy we are in the year of the monkey. I really don't have the experience to take care of these." Dong Yiming shook his head repeatedly.
"Okay, then leave it to Zhang Jun."
Wu Hao nodded and looked at him and said: "That's what I think. After I finish my busy work, I decided to reorganize the commercial operations department. It was divided into two departments, and the marketing department and the operations department were established respectively.
Leave the marketing department to others, and you can become the director of the operations department and the company's deputy general manager. In terms of operations, the company does need an experienced manager. After we have gotten along with each other in the past few months, I think you are more suitable. "
Dong Yiming was a little surprised when he heard what he said, but then he shook his head and said, "I actually prefer to stay in the marketing department. It's more fulfilling to direct these young people to work hard."
"Haha, no wonder people say that the marketing department is as busy as directing a war. It seems that you enjoy it." Wu Hao joked with a smile.
Dong Yiming smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "At my age, I originally looked down upon these things, but during the time spent with these young people, the fire in my heart burned again.
So I just want to struggle and see where my abilities can go. "
"The operations department can express your ambitions. As I said just now, wait until you are finished. And you are also in charge of market operations in the operations department, so there is no difference. It's just that you were on the front line before, and now you are in charge. The whole situation is over." Wu Hao looked at Dong Yiming and said sincerely.
He was able to say these words, on the one hand, he did see Dong Yiming's hard work during this period. On the other hand, he also wanted to use this to get closer to this general.
It is not a good thing for a department to be controlled for too long, not to mention that this is a team he built by himself.
Of course, this is also a good thing for Dong Yiming. This is a rare promotion in itself, not only becoming the head of the operations department but also the deputy general manager of the company. When the company launches an equity or option incentive plan in the future, his position as vice president will definitely be much more popular than his current position.
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Dong Yiming had no choice but to nod.
How could Dong Yiming, who had been in the workplace for decades, not understand this little thought in his heart. But he also understands that this is an inevitable trend. In an enterprise, leaders will not allow subordinates to try to cling to a group.
Once it occurs, it means that many risks may arise. Therefore, managers will make corresponding adjustments at this time, splitting up and transferring people, or transferring and promoting them. In short, they will keep people within the controllable range.
