Chapter 388 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
Jiang He ultimately chose a small to medium-sized enterprise.
Deepsea has a solid foundation in this industry, having cultivated it for over a decade.
However, in the past two years, it has also faced the dilemma of not being able to break through new technologies.
All the money was invested in the R&D department, but in the end it was all for nothing.
The workshops are all doing OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) business.
The company has been operating at a loss for three consecutive years.
Jiang He acquired Deepsea for 10 billion yuan.
In addition, another 100 billion yuan was invested in research and development.
Furthermore, Jiang He also redeemed related technical theories and model machines in the mall.
With an open-book exam and a copycat approach, I'm sure they won't disappoint her.
Everyone at Deepsea is very grateful to this new boss.
If it weren't for Jiang He's investment, Deepsea would have collapsed very soon.
The management has already planned to start layoffs to reduce costs.
From top management to the lowest-level employees, the list of layoffs was several pages long.
The collapse of the deep-sea mine will likely result in countless job losses.
The stock price of Deepsea has also been declining continuously.
The future looks bleak.
This is a miracle.
This saved the company.
Jiang He doesn't usually go to the deep sea. She has a secretary and usually communicates with her secretary.
In addition, set aside one day each month to listen to the plans and summaries from each department.
Within six months, the R&D department had achieved results.
A mobile phone whose performance in all aspects is superior to that of other phones on the market.
Longer battery life, more memory, smoother operation, and most importantly, a very competitive price.
To cater to different demographics, Deepsea has also launched different versions of its mobile phones.
High-end phones, mid-range phones, and phones priced around 1000 yuan.
The difference lies in the chips used and some reductions in functionality.
You get what you pay for; we position ourselves to target different consumer groups.
Unlike other high-end mobile phones, the price of a new phone is raised to 10,000 yuan as soon as it is launched, which makes it unaffordable for many people.
The high-end Deepsea machine is priced at only 5,199.
It boasts top-of-the-line features in every aspect, giving it absolute competitiveness.
Mid-range phones are 2,499 yuan, and phones priced around 1,000 yuan are 999 yuan.
This price is still very competitive in the market.
Better configuration at the same price.
Same configuration, lower price.
After all, Deepsea has been quiet in the market for a long time.
This is a niche brand. If the price is the same, customers will definitely choose a more familiar brand.
Unless they are very disappointed with the original brand, most people will still choose the same brand when selecting a new phone.
Deepsea can only attract its first batch of customers through price.
Then, by leveraging word-of-mouth and product quality, loyal customers can be converted into new customers.
Jiang He has started her winter break as a junior in college.
Jiang He's home is quite far from the school, even though it's in the next city and the straight-line distance isn't very far.
It only takes an hour by high-speed rail.
Of course, high-speed rail is more convenient, but more expensive, so Jiang He always chooses the green train, which takes more time and takes a longer route, but is cheaper.
However, both the school and Jiang He's home are quite far from the high-speed rail station.
Jiang He needs to take a one-hour bus ride from school to the high-speed rail station to get home.
Then she would take a three-hour train ride and a two-hour minibus ride back to town, where her father would come to pick her up on his electric scooter.
During previous winter breaks, Jiang He would choose to go home early and find a part-time job in the city where her hometown was located.
In the period leading up to the Lunar New Year, part-time jobs were relatively easy to find.
Although the salary is not as high as here, it has the advantage of being close to home, so I can go home for meals and don't have to worry about accommodation.
They can also help with the house cleaning and preparations for the Chinese New Year.
However, Jiang He still has some things to deal with this year; the company is busiest before the Lunar New Year.
This time, it coincides with the launch of a new deep-sea mobile phone.
Deep-sea enterprises have been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.
This is a battle to turn the tide.
Jiang He naturally couldn't just ignore it and go back directly.
Jiang He told her parents that she had found a part-time job here and would go back before the New Year.
Jiang's parents didn't say anything, only telling her not to overwork herself.
Call ahead when she's going home, and I'll pick her up from town.
Zhou Chen had naturally left the school long ago as well.
Zhou Chen is already a junior in college, and his father thinks it's time for him to gain some experience in a company.
The Zhou family also plans to launch new products during the Chinese New Year.
Zhou's currently has ten product lines.
Basically, each series releases one or two new generations every year.
In other words, Zhou's holds a new product launch every month.
This year, Zhou plans to release a high-end phone for the Lunar New Year, with optimizations mainly focused on appearance and camera capabilities.
There was a lot of taking photos due to the New Year atmosphere.
Moreover, since people have received their year-end bonuses before the Lunar New Year, they will have more money in their pockets and will be more willing to buy high-end phones.
They're also releasing a budget-friendly phone, positioned as a phone for seniors.
To show respect to elders during the Chinese New Year, I'll buy my parents a phone that costs around 1000 yuan.
Another product is a learning tablet, mainly featuring eye protection and learning software.
For students, receiving lucky money during Chinese New Year means they can buy whatever they want.
Elders can also give this learning tablet as a gift to younger generations.
Not only Zhou's, but several other companies also use similar marketing tactics.
However, Zhou's company is quite competitive in the market, so they are not worried about not getting the piece of the pie they want.
Zhou's father wanted Zhou Chen to gain experience at the company and learn from a project team.
Zhou Chen didn't want to join the company so early.
Zhou Chen felt resentful of the idea that working hours meant 996 (9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week) and seeing how Jiang's father left early and returned late every day.
However, since his father asked him to work on the project, he couldn't refuse.
Otherwise his trip would be ruined.
If the projects he works on are profitable, Zhou's father can give him a bonus.
That way, we can extend our travel time and visit more countries.
Zhou Chen chose the high-end machine project.
In terms of making money, high-end phones are still the most profitable.
Moreover, based on sales figures from previous years, the market for high-end phones is larger during the Chinese New Year period.
Relatively speaking, mid-range phones are more popular during the summer.
Most of his classmates buy phones that cost one or two thousand yuan.
Of course, there are also those from well-off families who will buy models costing over three thousand.
All I need is a working phone.
Zhou's and Deepsea are located in the same area and are competitors. Their new product launches were held one after the other.
Of course, in the past two years, the deep-sea industry has not developed well, and it has been reduced to a factory that does OEM processing for the Zhou family.
However, six months ago, Deepsea received help from a benefactor and secured funding.
However, this technological gap cannot be bridged by money.
No matter how hard the deep sea tries to catch up, it can never catch up with the Zhou family.
Zhou's family waited for Deepsea to announce the date of the new product launch before setting the date.
It was scheduled for the same day as the Deep Sea event, starting halfway through the Deep Sea press conference.
Both companies held offline press conferences and simultaneously streamed them online.
The Zhou family is trying to use the deep sea as a stepping stone.
