Chapter 347 Blending
During the entire holiday, Xu Mingyuan not only traveled around Nanxi and Jiangcheng, which he was familiar with, but also spent a week traveling to several neighboring provinces and cities, and personally visited major shopping malls and mobile phone stores for on-site inspections.
Overall it's okay. Although the price of 2199 for the first generation Starry Sky phone has blocked some people, young people tend to spend a lot of time choosing Starry Sky phones when choosing a phone. The sales of mid-range phones are not as good as those of cheap thousand-yuan phones, so it's good to take a look if you are interested.
Then there are minors under the age of sixteen, who would gather in groups of three or five around the mobile phone counter to play games, and then be chased away by the salesperson.
Xu Mingyuan doesn't mind just playing without buying, on the contrary he welcomes it very much.
Because today's minors are potential customers in the future. A mobile phone will not be a valuable item in a few years. If you save some pocket money, you can afford it if you want.
However, the mobile phone counter does not consider the future market. The salesperson focuses on daily turnover and only thinks that a bunch of children are hindering business.
Xu Mingyuan's comments on this matter do not count, after all, the exclusive counters are all private shops. Xingkong Mobile currently does not have any mobile phone exclusive stores operated by the company. After all, there is only one mobile phone, so there is no need and no money to spend, so it can only rely on exclusive counters for sales.
What surprised Xu Mingyuan the most was that the cash on delivery service he cooperated with the post office received a very good response. Not only did it not lose money but it also accounted for nearly half of the mobile phone sales.
But it is also reasonable. Online shopping was not well developed at that time, and the market environment emphasized honesty. There were only a very small number of people who wanted to take advantage of small bargains, but this was all within Xu Mingyuan's consideration.
The only trouble is that the final payment settlement with the post office is a bit complicated, and the payment will be delayed by at least one or two months.
At the beginning, the optimization problem of the mobile phone had not been improved, and the Star Sky mobile phone had been in stock for more than three months, which would not cause the problem of insufficient production of Fengfan MP4 earlier.
However, the company currently needs cash settlement. If online sales account for the majority, it will affect the liquidity of funds.
However, the whole company was cheering.
From the day that Starry Sky Science and Technology Park was established, the entire leadership team was under increasing pressure and couldn't wait to make a comeback, but they were suppressed by Xu Mingyuan and were holding their breath.
They don't feel bad because the money is not their own, but this is related to their personal future. If Xu Mingyuan goes bankrupt, these people will have nowhere to go.
Fortunately, Xu Mingyuan is very good at marketing and is very clear about the current market needs.
The small games that were promoted earlier have long been ranked at the top of the traffic pages of major video websites. Once the mobile phone was launched on the market, the short videos created by mobile phone users rushed to the front pages of major portal websites. For this reason, the company stepped up to spend part of the funds to buy traffic and hot searches.
Although the company's accounts were tight, the daily increasing orders for mobile phones immediately dispelled the gloom hanging over everyone's heads.
This also raised the weight of Xu Mingyuan's words in the hearts of employees.
Private enterprises are a place where the founders have the final say, but although it may seem like no change has occurred when employees go from following the rules to recognizing the changes from the bottom of their hearts, it is a big step forward in terms of efficiency.
And from now on, no one will doubt the decisions made by Xu Mingyuan.
This change has both advantages and disadvantages. Xu Mingyuan does not have to worry too much about his employees' dissatisfaction. But if he is not there, the company will probably fall into brain death, only knowing how to continue to move forward according to the path he has planned, and gradually lose its market competitiveness.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Xu Mingyuan's long-term plan will last for at least a dozen years.
As for the future, who cares?
Maybe Xu Mingyuan had already given up his career ambition at that time and concentrated on being a rich man, worrying about how to entertain himself every day.
Xu Mingyuan was no longer worried about the company's situation. The only thing he was worried about was his personal life.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Mingyuan called Tao Shuxin to his home to play again.
In fact, when Xiao Yangzhi expressed that she didn't want to be away from him for the rest of her life, Xu Mingyuan was unwilling to let Tao Shuxin meet her again.
Tao Shuxin looks like a fool who knows nothing about the world, but she is not really stupid.
People who often go into the sea are bound to get their feet wet. Sooner or later, she will notice the weirdness in the relationship between Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi.
However, there are some things Xu Mingyuan cannot completely control. Tomorrow and accidents will push him forward.
If Xiao Yangzhi really got admitted to Jiangnan University in June, then she would start school in September.
With Xiao Yangzhi's personality, she would definitely not agree to live on campus. She would squeeze into Xu Mingyuan's hiding place outside the school, and then stare at them with her eyes wide open as a light bulb, making the two of them feel scared.
Instead of passively waiting for Xiao Yangzhi to make a move, it would be better to let Tao Shuxin get familiar with it in advance. Maybe she will think that this is the normal way Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi get along?
Although it was a bit self-deceptive, Xu Mingyuan couldn't find a better solution.
You can't just use money to attack it, right?
Tao Shuxin's family is not short of money. She is the third generation and a real, rich and beautiful woman.
"Hey, you only have a tank of ornamental fish at home? The house is so big, why don't you buy a cat or a dog as a pet? Doesn't your sister feel lonely staying at home alone all day?" Tao Shuxin took a small net and scooped up the river shrimp from the bucket. As soon as she threw it into the fish tank, the golden arowana and a group of parrot fish inside started fighting for the shrimp.
Seeing the splashing water, Tao Shuxin exclaimed "Eh" and quickly stepped back.
"She doesn't even want to feed the goldfish. Wouldn't it be difficult for her to raise a kitten or a puppy?"
As Xu Mingyuan spoke casually, he caught a few more river shrimps and fed the fish in the fish tank.
"Why? Cats and puppies are so cute. I've wanted to raise them since I was a kid, but my mom wouldn't let me, saying it's too much trouble to live in a building. Well, what's the trouble with cats and puppies? It's just a matter of feeding them."
Tao Shuxin stared at the ornamental fish swimming back and forth in the bathtub, her heart overflowing with love, not considering the feelings of the river shrimps being treated as food at all.
"Your parents are so busy every day that it's hard enough to raise you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Why am I struggling? I'm very obedient, okay!"
Tao Shuxin retorted dissatisfiedly.
"If you were really obedient, you wouldn't have taken the entrance exam to Jiangda University."
Xu Mingyuan decisively exposed the flaw in her words.
"Great! You heartless bastard, isn't it all because of you?"
Tao Shuxin was so angry that she was speechless. Her mother had said nothing, but you, Xu Mingyuan, had the nerve to bring up the past.
"So, it's good enough that Teacher He didn't beat you. You're just being obedient." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"It's not difficult to raise a kitten or a puppy. Just let your aunt take care of it." Tao Shuxin said nonchalantly.
"Xiao Yangzhi likes quietness and is a bit of a germaphobe. When she hears cats and dogs running around and barking at home, and then touches a coat of fur, she's lucky that she doesn't get anxious," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Oh, that's how it is. Hey, your sister has a bit of a strange personality. Not only does she have no friends, but she also doesn't like to have pets around. I'm thinking of raising a little parrot and asking it to say hello to me every morning."
Tao Shuxin always likes to gossip about people behind their backs, not to say bad things, but simply for fun.
While she was chatting, she didn't notice that Xiao Yangzhi had walked up to her.
"Sister Taotao, can you teach me the test points of the subjunctive mood?"
Whenever Tao Shuxin came to visit, Yang Zhi didn't want her to be alone with her brother for too long. However, when she went downstairs, she saw her standing in front of the fish tank, tickling herself with crickets behind her back.
Yang Zhi had heard a lot of these words since she was a child, and she didn't care, but she couldn't help frowning.
"Hey hey hey, okay okay."
Tao Shuxin was somewhat embarrassed to be caught talking about Xiao Yangzhi behind her back. She secretly pinched Xu Mingyuan, angry that he didn't inform her in advance, causing her to be caught.
Yang Zhi walked forward and gently smoothed the wrinkles on Xu Mingyuan's clothes, seeming a little reluctant to pay any attention to him.
"Hey, let me tell you a secret. I met your brother's ex-girlfriend on the street!"
Tao Shuxin pulled Xiao Yangzhi and started gossiping in front of Xu Mingyuan.
"Oh, I know. I saw my brother chatting with her." Yang Zhi said in a flat tone.
"What?! There's actually such a thing!"
Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened her eyes wide and glared at Xu Mingyuan angrily.
"Happy New Year, just reply when you see it, don't listen to Xiao Yangzhi's nonsense."
Xu Mingyuan glanced at Xiao Yangzhi unhappily.
This unfortunate kid is getting more and more restless every day, always thinking about getting involved.
But Yang Zhi didn't look at Xu Mingyuan, but gently rubbed his arm that was pinched and hurt.
I won't do that. I will only feel sorry for my brother...
