But he is not him. Cuo Ke rubbed his temples. No matter what, the world's number one record set by Apple must be kept. At least during his tenure, it must not decline!
There was a determined look in Cuco's eyes. The world's number one market is still the North American market. Even if it fails in the Chinese market, Hongxin cannot take advantage of it so easily in the North American market!
As for smart glasses, this project has been in Apple's reserve library, but now it seems that it must start to be implemented.
…
In Hongxin Electronic Technology Company, the success of smart glasses is another good news this year. While they are pleasantly surprised, they still have to be busy.
The smart glasses project will be the second largest product pillar after smartphones, so a dedicated operations team and management team will be established.
Lu Zixin was busy with this matter, and some high-level appointments required his personal decision.
"Xie Qian wants to operate smart glasses?" Lu Zixin looked at his subordinate's application and asked Su Zhirong, "How is his business ability?"
Su Zhirong wore smart glasses and directly called Xie Qian's information from the personnel department's database. She analyzed: "Xie Qian has been working for one year and one month and has been responsible for the sales of Hongxin smartphones. His ability is A+ or above. He can Served.”
Lu Zixin also had some impression of him. When Su Xiaomeng came to Pengcheng before, Xie Qian helped him with things.
"Is his position easy to supplement?" Lu Zixin asked.
"I can add, there are a few reserve candidates." Su Zhirong nodded.
"Okay, then give him a chance and let him serve as the chief operating officer of smart glasses. If the operating performance is good, he will be promoted to senior vice president. If his ability is not good, he will leave." Lu Zixin said.
After solving one issue, Su Zhirong raised the next question and said: "Our operational cooperation in the United States is still unclear, and the attitudes of the three major operators are not clear."
Hongxin Smartphone wants to open up overseas markets with a different approach than other companies. For example, mid- to low-end mobile phones can go to markets such as Southeast Asia and India, which is related to local consumption levels.
The price of Hongxin smartphones in China is as high as 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. If sold overseas, the price will be even higher including taxes. If it is sold in neighboring countries such as India and Myanmar, I am afraid that sales will be very bleak, and you may even lose money at that time.
Therefore, the route taken by Hongxin is to first enter countries with relatively developed market economies. The first to bear the brunt is the North American market, the world's largest smart product sales market. The United States is the top priority.
"Is it because of information security issues?" Lu Zixin asked.
"That's probably true." Su Zhirong nodded. "It's hard to say the specific reason. Our colleagues in the international business expansion department said that the three major telecom operators in the United States, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint+T-Mobile, are actually interested in working with us. Cooperation, but not sure, so I put it off for now.”
"Haha, I didn't expect that we would encounter the same problem as Hua Wei." Lu Zixin said with a smile.
Huawei Mobile encountered the interruption of cooperation with operators in the US market, resulting in the inability to fully enter the US market.
The fundamental reason is that members of the U.S. Congress jointly called the Federal Communications Commission, requesting an investigation into possible information security issues with Hua Wei's mobile phones.
As a result, Huawei mobile phones cannot be sold in the US market through official channels and can only be retailed online. Huawei mobile phones, with annual sales of over 100 million, cannot outsell some low-end products in the United States.
Nowadays, when Hongxin smartphones want to enter the US market, none of the three major operators have expressed direct cooperation. Obviously, they also have concerns behind them. Maybe they also got some rumors and didn't dare to cooperate with Hongxin until it was clear.
Su Zhirong gave him a helpless look and said, "Countries are different and policies are different. There is really nothing we can do in this short period of time."
"We have not yet formally reached cooperation with operators, and the US Federal Communications Commission has not passed the review of our products, so we can only wait."
"What about other countries?" Lu Zixin asked.
"At present, our products have obtained sales licenses from Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, and are applying for sales licenses in Korea, island countries and European markets." Su Zhirong said, "If nothing else happens, we will be able to enter the island countries market next month."
"The island country operator also wants to invite you and Mr. Tang to go to Edo to participate in the Hongxin smart product launch conference!"
"Going to Edo? Press conference?" Lu Zixin thought for a while and said, "I'm really interested. In the past, the downstream manufacturing industry was exported to island countries. It's time for us to use high-tech products to make money from them!"
Lu Zixin just decided to go to the island country next month. Unexpectedly, he received a call before he got off work.
This is an unfamiliar number. According to the intelligent identification of Hongxin Mobile Butler, it does not represent advertising. Lu Zixin answered the phone: "Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Is it Lu Zi?" A slightly excited voice came from the phone.
"It's me. Are you?" Lu Zixin felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it.
"Let me go, you can't even recognize my voice? I'm Di Chao!" the man said.
"Di Chao?" Lu Zixin immediately remembered that this was one of his college roommates! Only half a year after graduation, the two of them were still in constant contact, but since Di Chao returned to his hometown to develop, the contact has become less frequent.
Later, he changed his number and WeChat account, and Lu Zixin basically had no contact with him. If you think about it carefully, it's actually only been two years. We were good friends before graduation, but now our voices are almost indistinguishable.
"I asked why the voice sounded so familiar, and it turned out to be you. How are you doing recently?" Lu Zixin asked.
"It's okay, just goofing around. How are you doing?" Di Chao asked, "I know everyone in the dormitory, but you are the one who never sees the end. You are no longer seen in the class."
Lu Zixin is busy with too many things, so how can he have time to join the team? And that group has now become a dead group. Last year during the Chinese New Year, he even sent a red envelope in it, and someone silently grabbed it. I don’t know whether it was a scam or a diver.
"I'm okay, much better than before." Lu Zixin said modestly.
"Haha, we've just started now, take your time." Di Chao comforted him, thinking he was embarrassed to say it.
"By the way, are you free next month?" he asked again.
"I have something going on next month, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I'm getting married next month. Why don't I call you to inform you? If it's convenient, come and join in the fun?" Di Chao finally said his purpose.
Lu Zixin was speechless for a moment. No wonder some people said that if a classmate he hadn't contacted for a long time suddenly contacted him, he was most likely going to get married.
But he didn't care. Di Chaoman was not here and he had taken care of him when he was in college. He was happy to join in the fun with others.
Lu Zixin asked about the date, and before the trip to the island country, he agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go."
