Duan Yongping summoned the backbone of the company and held a meeting for everyone. 『『The country suddenly relaxed its policy on the import of game consoles, and foreign game consoles are about to enter the Chinese market.
At present, Xiaobawang dominates the domestic game console market by relying on low prices, crazy advertising and secretly supporting pirated cassettes.
But he knew very well that their game console was imitating, or even imitating, Nintendo's old game console, and Nintendo had technology patents in hand. The accompanying game cartridges are even pirated. If Nintendo sues them for infringement, they will be in trouble and may even face suspension of production and fines.
Fortunately, they have already considered this situation and have been developing new products, Xiaobawang's own new products.
But now, there are already some clues. They found that more and more families now have higher incomes, but they are not willing to buy game consoles for their children, thinking that they will lose their minds by playing with them.
Duan Yongping suddenly thought, what if we produce not a game console, but a learning machine that can help children learn? You can turn some words, idioms, English, etc. into simple games, so that parents will buy them for their children, and the children will not only play the game, but also learn knowledge, killing two birds with one stone!
Of course, before production, you still need to do some market research. They found that except for microcomputers that have this function, they have not found other similar products, and the price of microcomputers is basically tens of thousands of yuan. As long as they produce products with simplified functions and simple and easy to use, the cost can be controlled below two thousand, and the selling price For more than three thousand yuan, it should be very easy to sell!
This idea excited Duan Yongping and made him determined that Xiaobawang would find new profit growth points and create a new concept product, a product between a game console and a microcomputer.
Duan Yongping gained the support of other people in the company. They all believed that only by producing new products could they ensure their status as the overlord. And let the status rise, no longer just a factory making cheap game consoles.
Duan Yongping reported this idea to his leaders. At this time, the Little Overlord was still fully owned by a state-owned enterprise. The city leaders heard this and thought the idea was good. However, when asked, they found that the funds for new product research and development had been exhausted. Duan Yongping asked the city to continue to allocate another one million for product research and development.
The city refused outright. I've already given you one million, but you haven't researched anything, and now you want another million? This one million, one million asking for money, when will it end
Duan Yongping's patient leader explained that when this product is developed, it will monopolize the market, defeat all competing game console manufacturers, and reduce the company's profits. How many times can it be doubled
The important thing is that this does not infringe!
The country has opened up its policy on the import of game consoles. When foreign game companies enter the country, they will inevitably conduct market research. We will inevitably find that we have misappropriated their patented technology. If we are sued by others, our products will be discontinued. Even if you are not charged, if the other party also launches a cheap game console, relying on the advantages of big foreign brands. It will have a strong impact on our products.
Duan Yongping is also a little helpless. Nowadays, Chinese people all have this concept, which is foreigners' stuff. It must be the best. Expensive things must be good things. He was afraid that even if foreign game consoles did not lower their prices, they would lose most of the market.
The launch of new products is extremely important, and may even affect the survival of Little Overlord.
The city leaders actually had objections to Duan Yongping for a long time. Duan Yongping had been saying that there was a problem with the management of Xiaobawang and that it should be reformed.
How to reform? It's not enough for you to make Yongping the general manager. You also want to change to a joint-stock system and become the chairman of the board? This company belongs to the city, not to you!
Duan Yongping told him last time that the most important thing about Xiaobawang is technology and management, and he required that after the restructuring, technology and management should be converted into shares.
What do you mean, you want to break up Yongping and divide the little bully? Without you, would the little bully still be a prostitute? And those technicians, aren’t their salaries high enough? It’s already two hundred yuan a month, which is not worse than my salary. What else do you want
We in southern Guangdong don’t have many other things, but we have a lot of talents. Especially in the past two years, technical talents from the north have been coming to us. Are our skills inferior to yours? If you don't do it, I'll find someone else. Maybe a monthly salary of one hundred and fifty is enough!
Duan Yongping said that this little overlord should be restructured into a joint-stock system, remove those bloated government departments, increase the number of people in the technical department and sales department, and give them certain share rewards to commend them for their contribution to the company. Contribute and stimulate them to continue to work hard and make greater contributions to the company.
Of course, Duan Yongping did believe that this little overlord was created by him. When he took over the factory, he had more than two million yuan in debt. But he didn't ask for a penny from the market. He relied on borrowing money, constantly lobbying dealers to pay before delivering goods, and holding down payment from material suppliers to produce the Xiaobawang game console, and borrowed money to go to CCTV to make it. Advertising is responsible for the hot market of Xiaobawang and the dominance of Xiaobawang among domestic game console manufacturers.
When I was named Bawang, my goal was to become the king of the gaming industry. Now he can be said to have achieved it, and he has turned over tens of millions in profits to the city in the past few years.
Didn't he bring all this? Shouldn't he get some reward? Look at those foreign companies. Even a senior executive has shares in the company. Why can't I? Which executive is more capable and contributes more than me? Why do those foreign executives have salaries of several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, while my monthly salary is just over two hundred
Moreover, in other places, this kind of restructuring method is not unavailable, giving certain equity rewards to those who have made significant contributions. Duan Yongping believes that he meets this standard, and no one in the company or factory will have any objections. It was he who made everyone go from not receiving wages to having their wages doubled, and it was too late for everyone to thank him.
But the city disagreed and believed that the company did not need to be restructured. Xiaobawang was a company in the city and was developing well now, so it should continue to do so.
But after Duan Yongping forced her to go to the palace several times, the city also relented. If Duan Yongping gives up the challenge now, it seems that no one can take up the responsibility of the little bully.
But the city gave Duan Yongping a requirement. If the annual profit of Xiaobawang's operation exceeds 100 million, then we can talk about restructuring.
Duan Yongping was originally very happy, but the city relented. But now, the city does not provide R&D funds. Without R&D funds, new products cannot be launched. Without new products, how can we make money? If the city hadn't taken away all the profits, would Little Overlord have been worried about one million with the profitability last year
After much hard work, the city finally agreed to give another 500,000 yuan, and only after the results were produced would they consider whether to increase funding for research and development. Duan Yongping left with a lot of gratitude, and at the same time strengthened his confidence that he must develop a learning machine as soon as possible and let the city see what he is capable of!
What Duan Yongping didn't know was that the prototype of the Aihua brand learning machine had already been produced! (To be continued.)
