Chapter 727 Seizing Business Opportunities and Expanding Results
Telecommunications companies, as enterprises full of system and state-owned color, have always been comfortable and leisurely.
However, Cheng Li has been a little hectic these days, and the reason comes from the contract machine packages he has promoted in Xiangjiang and several branches in Southeast Asia.
At the beginning when Wu Tao proposed this method, Cheng Li subconsciously felt a little sorry.
After all, several overseas branches are newly established, and the communication business development is still in the stage of spending money on promotion, and the growth is slow.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to achieve the goal of helping Yuanqi Technology establish overseas distribution channels?
When the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, it is hard to protect himself.
However, with the release of the new Lotus phone and the ferment and reversal of the mobile phone dispute with Ericsson, the development of the situation soon exceeded his expectations.
Xiangjiang branch and Bangkok branch called one after another, saying that the number of passengers increased sharply every day, and there was an endless stream of customers inquiring about Lotus contract aircraft business.
The first batch of Lotus stock in the past has been swept away, and the store is out of stock, but the number of customers who come to inquire has continued unabated.
Some even asked directly how much it costs to buy a Lotus mobile phone.
It's a bit frustrating now. I was really conservative at the beginning, and I didn't dare to ask Mr. Wu for more goods. It's all right now, it just showed up, which made him ashamed to ask others for goods.
If due to his own conservatism, Yuanqi Technology did not take into account the needs of so many overseas sales in the production plan, it is likely to delay the opportunity and miss the big event.
But right now Xiangjiang and Bangkok are very busy, Cheng Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Wu Tao.
However, half an hour before Cheng Li arrived at Yuanqi Technology, Wu Tao already knew the performance of the new Lotus machine in the Asian market.
After getting the first-hand feedback data, the vigorous Xiao Zixia sent it to the president's office non-stop and handed it over to Wu Tao: "Boss, the sales of Lotus in Southeast Asia this time are so hot that they far exceed our expectations!"
Wu Tao glanced at the document in his hand, and said casually: "This number may exceed your expectation, but it is not beyond my expectation."
Xiao Zixia blushed for a while.
Indeed, it is precisely because of insufficient attention to the international market that expectations are not high. Otherwise, she would not omit overseas sales data when calculating sales performance.
"Boss, I was wrong." Xiao Zixia admitted honestly, with a very correct attitude.
After Wu Tao finished reading the document in hand, he threw it on the table, put his hands together and said, "Where did you go wrong?"
"I...I..." Xiao Zixia didn't think deeply about this question, so she couldn't answer it hastily.
As for fooling Wu Tao with random words, how could Wu Tao be so easily fooled?
Seeing that Xiao Zixia couldn't speak, Wu Tao tapped on the table and said, "I have already mentioned at the meeting that opening up the international market and establishing international sales channels are our main strategic goals at this stage."
"...Brother Yang has thought ahead in terms of manufacturing and scientific management. That is to say, outsourcing the corresponding business, stripping out the production links with meager profits, and establishing downstream factories to meet the needs of future changes."
"...And what about you? In terms of the market, you still focus on the domestic market and ignore the international market. As the marketing director, your vision and layout directly determine the level and height that Yuanqi Technology can achieve in the future!"
Xiao Zixia thought to herself, if you have the vision and structure like you, the boss, it's all right!
But the slander belongs to the slander, Wu Tao is right, this time she really lost to Yang Ge in terms of layout.
"Thank you boss for your criticism and correction, I will adjust it as soon as possible."
Seeing that Xiao Zixia listened to it, Wu Tao's tone suddenly softened, "Now let's study in detail, how to seize and use the sales opportunities in the international market to expand the results!"
Xiao Zixia didn't react, and murmured: "Isn't it necessary to add foreign orders to production, and make up for the shortage and shortage in our channels as soon as possible?"
Wu Tao raised his eyes and gave her a white look, "This is the most basic, but it is far from enough!"
"...The sales in foreign markets are booming this time. Perhaps the previous hype has had an effect, or perhaps the new features of the product have captured customers. But no matter what, it is a great business opportunity for Lotus mobile phones."
"...The market is changing rapidly, and business opportunities are fleeting. If we don't take advantage of this business opportunity, quickly expand sales results, establish brand influence in the world, and thus form a solid sales channel, then the next such opportunity will be lost. When will it be?"
"...Besides, the shortage of supply in the international market just shows that our channels are seriously insufficient, and we cannot make full use of this hot business opportunity to rapidly expand our brand influence."
After such a mention, Xiao Zixia immediately understood.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Lotus mobile phones are so popular in the international market, use multiple channels to make efforts at the same time. The more Lotus phones sold, the greater the influence of the Lotus brand.
As long as the user base in the international market reaches a considerable number, the brand influence will be stable.
At that time, the Lotus brand will really become a presence comparable to the three major foreign companies. Whether it is in the domestic market or the international market.
After figuring this out, Xiao Zixia immediately stood up and said, "Boss, I'm going to contact the cooperation representatives in Europe and America to discuss the establishment of channels."
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as Xiao Zixia was sent off in a hurry, Pei Ying turned around and came in to report, "Boss, Director Cheng of the telecommunications company is here to visit."
Wu Tao smiled unsurprisingly, "Okay, let him come in directly."
Not long after, Cheng Li hurried in, and as soon as he entered the door, he made a gesture to shake hands with Wu Tao, and said with a face of shame, "Mr. Wu, I'm asking you again."
"Director Cheng, what are you talking about. If you have something to say, just say it, there is no such thing as asking for it or not." In fact, Wu Tao had a pretty good guess about his reason for coming, so he was so happy.
Sure enough, Cheng Li came to ask for help, hoping that Yuanqi Technology would provide another batch of 500,000 new Lotus phones to meet the shortage in Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang Telecom branch.
In the past, Wu Tao asked him to use the contract phone method to establish a sales channel for Lotus new phones in foreign markets, but now it has become that telecom companies rely on Lotus new phones to increase the number of users and accelerate business expansion.
That's why Cheng Licai had to lower his profile and say all the good things.
Wu Tao naturally agreed.
After sending Cheng Li away, Wu Tao made careful calculations, and then realized that in the Asian market, relying solely on the channel of the telecommunications company is too thin.
It's like using a small water pipe to fill a swimming pool with a few hundred square meters, it's not powerful enough at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Tao didn't come up with a reason. It wasn't until Fujiwara Reina's phone call directly to his mobile phone in the afternoon that he had a flash of inspiration.
Sitting on such a Japanese partner, I actually forgot the influence and sales channels of the Mitsui consortium in the Southeast Asian market.
What's more, I always focused on the Xiangjiang market and the Southeast Asian market before, but I ignored the Dongying market with the same huge potential!
Thinking of this, Wu Tao readily agreed to Fujiwara Reina's invitation and set the dinner for the evening.
