So even if Wu Hao ships the goods now, it will take more than thirty days to arrive in Europe. This is why he chose the more expensive air freight to transport the 200,000 smart AR glasses that had just been cleared to Europe by air. Although it is expensive, it can save more than a month of time, which is crucial for them now.
As for the 500,000 units he promised, they will be shipped to Europe via China-Europe trains. Although it takes about twenty days, it is about ten days faster than shipping.
Of course, this is only an emergency measure. Wu Hao and the others must immediately organize the factory to speed up production. Then, they will continue to be shipped to Europe by sea. Only in this way can the supply of goods be wirelessly connected, so that market sales will not be affected.
In fact, not only Europe, but also West Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea and other markets have responded very well, but it is just not as enthusiastic as Europe.
But even so, the combined demand in these places is much greater than in Europe. Therefore, Wu Hao's current headache is to communicate with the persons in charge and agents in these places to gain as much time as possible.
As for the domestic market, this is currently their largest market and the most important market. Of course Wu Hao cannot give up on this, but the domestic market is not as eager as the overseas market.
The domestic market can wait a little longer. Before other manufacturers launch relevant products that can compete with them, this market still belongs to them.
But overseas markets are different and are easily affected by various factors. What Wu Hao has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the market as much as possible and make it an established fact.
In this way, even if certain factors come to affect them, they can rely on the market they have already occupied to resist. It can also use the market to influence regional countries and reduce the extent of its impact.
This is why Wu Hao does not use direct sales in these overseas countries, but uses agents to enter the market.
Compared with outsiders like them, these agents have a certain influence in various regions and countries. As long as the benefits are substantial, these agents will naturally do their best to maintain it.
When their smart voice assistants first entered Europe, they adopted this method, which enabled their products to seize most of the European smart voice product market in a short period of time.
Although there were many problems after that, thanks to the hard work of these agents, they gradually gained a foothold in the European market. It is precisely because of this that the series of products they subsequently released can enter the European market so quickly.
Although Europe does not have as much influence as the United States, it is not weak. As long as the European market is solved, the markets in other regions will naturally be easily solved. Of course, except for the United States.
"The current output is still too low?" Wu Hao turned to Zhang Jun who was sitting on the other side and said.
Zhang Jun nodded when he heard this and said: "It's a bit low, but this is already our largest production capacity at present. Our three factories are currently overloaded, with weekly production reaching one million units. And the foundry factory also has Five new production lines were invested, with daily output reaching 200,000 units.
Taken together, our product output can reach 2.4 million units, which is already a very high number. "
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "It's still too low. We must take advantage of this trend to seize the market as much as possible, especially overseas markets.
In this way, I will call Dongzi again and ask him to coordinate again and try to increase the daily production to 300,000 units. As for our several factories, I asked He Jinshan to put more pressure on them and increase their production capacity by another 20%.
In this way, our weekly production can reach 3.3 million units, so that we can fill the gap in the market within a month. "
"But in this case, the cost will increase significantly. And I'm afraid there will be no reason from the foundry. After all, they have other production orders and it is impossible to transfer production to us.
It would be too slow and expensive to build new production lines and train new workers.
As for us, the production of one million units is already over capacity. If I improve it further, I'm afraid it will go too far and it will be easy to make mistakes. "Zhang Jun said worriedly.
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but nodded. He was a little distracted by all the phone calls now, and it was inevitable that he was a little anxious and out of control.
So after thinking calmly for a while, he immediately made a decision: "Let's let He Jinshan do his best and improve as much as he can. If he can't improve, just maintain the equipment and avoid trouble elsewhere.
As for the foundry, Dongzi is asked to try his best to negotiate and the price can be increased. We are currently short of goods. "
"Is this not worth the gain?" Zhang Jun frowned at Wu Hao and asked.
Wu Hao waved his hand after hearing this: "It doesn't matter. The current losses can be fully recovered through later operations. Our most important thing at the moment is to meet the needs of the market and seize more markets."
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Zhang Jun also nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. As you said, supply the overseas market first, and I will try my best to support the domestic market."
Wu Hao thought for a while after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "We can't just take care of the overseas market, the domestic market still needs to be taken care of.
In this way, let's allocate part of our current production capacity. Our current weekly production is 2.4 million units, so let’s make room for 800,000 units.
You ask the marketing department to release it slowly and in batches. Be flexible and don’t let consumers think that we are imitating corn and engaging in hunger-relief marketing.
If necessary, we can issue an announcement or explanation to explain our current predicament to the outside world. "
"I understand, I will arrange this myself." Zhang Jun responded seriously.
Well, Wu Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Jun and said: "This year's company annual meeting will definitely not be held, and the holidays for some departments will also be postponed or even cancelled.
So at this time, we must try to appease employees' emotions as much as possible. It can be done both spiritually and materially. How to implement it specifically requires each department to come up with an executable plan based on the actual situation of their respective departments.
You can make it as generous as possible. If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass first. We expect these people to make a lot of money for us, so there is no need to worry about small sums.
So be brave. At this critical juncture, we must maintain the stability within the company and the strong fighting capacity of the employees. "
"Don't worry, I know the importance." Zhang Junchang said with a smile.
