Chapter 499 Mobile Phone Launch
The next day, Monday, which was also the first day of April, Ideal Mobile Phone officially began production. After entering production mode at 8 o'clock, Bai Xiyao took a few photos and sent them to Zhou Jing.

In the photo, all the equipment on the production line is running. Employees wearing work clothes, work hats, masks and gloves are performing their duties and completing their tasks in an orderly manner.

Zhou Jing showed Gu Jia the photo and said, "Does it look formal?"

"Not bad, well-trained. Are all electronics factories so strict?"

Gu Jia took the phone and swiped through the photos.

“The requirements for high quality control are definitely strict.”

At around eight o'clock, after feeding the child, Zhou Jing left him in the care of Wu Suqin, and went to the company with Gu Jia.

"Listen to grandma, mom and dad go earn some money."

Gu Jia kissed the child, put on her bag and set off.

Zhou Jing held the little guy's chubby feet and said goodbye to the child.

"There is a monthly payment for an office building before the 6th. Do you need to see it?"

In the car, Gu Jia said as he checked the company's financial data for April.

"No need, just transfer the money directly."

With Gu Jia as the financial director, Zhou Jing feels relieved and doesn't need to worry about any financial matters of the company.

“It’s a good deal to buy an office building.”

Gu Jia checked the financial report of Tangdu Office Building. The monthly rent was enough to pay the monthly mortgage. Without considering the increase in house prices, the rent could pay back the investment in about 20 years, which was equivalent to earning an entire office building in 20 years.

“There is relatively little room for commercial office buildings to increase in value.”

Zhou Jing bought an office building mainly for his own company's use. If he speculated in real estate, it would be an investment in real estate.

"When will I take a photo with Zhou Zhou and make it into a keychain pendant?"

Gu Jia looked at her keychain and felt it was a bit empty, so she thought of hanging a photo of her family of three.

"Wait until Zhou Zhou can sit down and then take the photo."

Zhou Jing slowed down at the red light and reached out to touch Gu Jia's leg.

The sun rose in April and the weather was sunny and neither too hot nor too cold. Zhou Jing rolled down the car window, held the steering wheel with one hand, and reached out of the window with the other hand to feel the rise and fall of the wind.

After arriving at the company, Zhou Jing immediately modified the mobile phone sales plan, changing the online store retail price from 499 yuan with a free basic Bluetooth speaker to 459 yuan with a free basic Bluetooth speaker, or without a Bluetooth speaker.

The wholesale price was changed from 249 to 399, and a Bluetooth speaker was given for free. It was then handed over to Qin Zhengyu, who asked the online store to prepare for pre-sales.

Bundling Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones for sale will definitely boost each other's sales and maximize the highlight of Bluetooth speakers.

"Okay, there is a company that wants to purchase our Bluetooth upgrade technology. Would you consider it, Mr. Zhou?"

Qin Zhengyu nodded and said.

"It's worth considering. This technology doesn't have too many barriers. It's OK as long as the price is right. What's the situation of the other company?"

Zhou Jing did not hesitate. Even if he did not share the upgraded Bluetooth technology of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. with others, it would not be long before a company would master this technology. Instead of waiting for others to master the technology, it would be better to share intellectual property rights in exchange for some benefits, or in exchange for technology. Closed technology protection has no future.

“It is a technology company in SZ”

Qin Zhengyu briefly introduced the situation of the company.

"Let's talk first and see what we can get."

Zhou Jing handed the matter over to Qin Zhengyu.

"it is good."

Qin Zhengyu admired Zhou Jing's vision even more. Most people would definitely not be willing to share their technology at this critical juncture.

After looking at the backend data of the operations department’s online store, Zhou Jing returned to the office.

"Boss, please sign."

Gu Jia opened the document that needed Zhou Jing's signature and placed it on the table, then poured Zhou Jing a cup of freshly brewed morning tea.

"Do you want to have tea first or sign first? Secretary Gu."

Zhou Jing patted Gu Jia's delicate butt and said with a smile.

"The work is important, sign first."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Don't sign."

Zhou Jing sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and blew it leisurely.

"If you don't want to sign, then forget it. What's the proportion of the quarterly bonus?"

It was the beginning of the month, the start of the second quarter, the company was very busy, and Gu Jia went to do other things.

"Six percent."

While signing the documents, Zhou Jing said that the company's performance in the first quarter was good, and the quarterly bonus was paid at 6% of the net profit. This proportion was neither high nor low. The company's cost calculation was absolute, and the cost of purchasing the office building and the Tangdu office building were also included in the operating costs of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

Of course, this includes the Tangdu Branch of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

"Where is the Tangdu branch?"

Gu Jia recorded the quarterly bonus ratio on the financial table and said.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said, "The quarterly bonuses sent by BJ are included here. According to the headquarters' standards, there is no quarterly bonus for the first quarter of Tangdu's recruitment."

"Ok."

Gu Jia quickly wrote down the bonus distribution standards and sent them to the finance department.

Zhou Jing opened the project department's work report and looked at the progress of application software development related to smartphones. Smartphones involve a lot of software, and there are no less than a hundred installed software of all sizes. The basic original software is relatively simple and there is no difficulty in developing it. The complicated part is how to perfectly embed it into the mobile phone system.

"Test report on the information system of Yushi Maternal and Child Health Hospital."

Gu Jia sorted out the information submitted by other departments and gave the important ones to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing opened it and took a look. He found that the project was personally in charge of by Wang Tao, the deputy general manager and project director. After the project was completed, a third-party agency conducted a simulation test and there were basically no problems. The next step was to hand it over to Party A for acceptance.

The information system project of Qingxian New City Hospital and the information system of the First Hospital of Yulin High-tech Zone have been completed and passed acceptance. According to the contract, 50% of the project payment has been received in advance.

The actual profit in the first quarter was much higher than what was written in the financial report. The profit from the two hospital information system projects was more than 50 million. Zhou Jing set a short payback period for the purchase of the office building and, in short, manipulated the profit.

After finishing some work, Zhou Jing went to the game studio.

The game studio occupies a large office alone, and several teams are working intensively on the project. The King's Summoning PC game is scheduled to be launched in September. It is already April, and there is less than half a year left. Zhou Jing checked the development progress.

The 1.0 version of King's Summons has three modes: matching matches and ranked matches. In the future, other entertainment modes such as cloning and street brawl will be added. The game is developing smoothly. Zhou Jing began to consider the mobile game version. It is definitely not possible at the moment because smartphones are not mature enough to support a game like King's Summons. In addition, the team cannot spare people to develop mobile games.

The planning of Tiantian Kupao and Rhythm Master mobile games was completed and entered the development stage. Zhou Jing also planned a mobile version of Dou Dizhu and handed it over to the Tangdu branch.

The mobile version of Happy Elimination is already fully mature and has dominated the charts of various mobile app stores for several months. Zhou Jing is considering whether to enable the pay-to-win mode. As a player, he hates pay-to-win, but as a company, it must make money. The first purpose of developing software is to make money. After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Jing gave up the idea of ​​paying-to-win for Happy Elimination. This game has no attractive selling point for pay-to-win, and King Summoning and Everyday Elimination will definitely adopt a paid model.

The operation department modified the marketing plan for the mobile phone, asked Zhou Jing to sign it, and then launched it in the online store. Ideal's first mobile phone only had one model and three colors, and two sales methods were formulated. The first one was priced at 499 and came with a Bluetooth speaker, and the second one was priced at 459 without a speaker. During the event, the price was reduced by 449 yuan, that is, the two methods were priced at 409 and respectively during the event.

Zhou Jing told Bai Xiyao after the phone was launched.

Bai Xiyao has everything ready, just waiting for the order to be shipped. There is no need to stock for online sales for the time being. After all, it is a new brand with few sales channels and production capacity to keep up.

Bai Xiyao: [Okay, we can’t ship the goods today. Today’s orders will be shipped tomorrow.]

Zhou Jing: [No impact, just ship within 20 hours]

When Gu Jia came to the company, she brought a box of chocolates. She gave one to Zhou Jing and ate one herself.

As usual, Gu Jia went home at around ten o'clock to feed the child, and Zhou Jing went home at around eleven o'clock to eat. When he got home, the child was sleeping. Zhou Jing washed his hands and lay down beside the child to observe him. He couldn't help poking the child's face and pinching the child's hands and feet.

"Take the porridge with you to work!"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"It will affect my work."

Zhou Jing kissed the child on the forehead, got up from the bed and went to eat.

"How is Jiajia's recovery?" Wu Suqin said as she scooped half a bowl of red date porridge for Gu Jia.

"feels good."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Eat more dates to replenish blood."

Zhou Jing picked up the red dates from his bowl and gave them to Gu Jia.

“All the nutrients are in the soup.”

Gu Jia took a sip of the porridge. The red dates were cooked very soft and the porridge was filled with the fragrance of dates.

"Then drink more soup. Tofu can supplement calcium."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of tofu for Gu Jia.

Gu Jia smiled and asked, "What other foods can supplement calcium?"

"Soy milk, black sesame."

"Soy milk supplements calcium, so I'm definitely not calcium deficient. I want to drink black sesame paste. I'll buy a bag after get off work."

While feeding her child, Gu Jia paid great attention to balanced nutrition.

Zhou Jing nodded.

After dinner, Zhou Jing went to the bedroom to see the child, who was sleeping soundly. "I envy him for eating and sleeping every day."

"Do you want to cut your nails or should I?"

Gu Jia gently held the child's hand, and the child's nails had grown longer.

"I come."

Zhou Jing took out a small nail clipper from the drawer, disinfected it with a small alcohol spray bottle, and carefully cut the child's nails.

Gu Jia gently pried open the child's clenched fingers and said, "Don't cut it too short, cut it here."

Zhou Jing was very careful and polished it after cutting.

"Zhou Zhou is so well behaved when he sleeps."

Gu Jia looked at the child who was still sleeping and smiled.

Zhou Jing smiled. The child was very well behaved when awake and was a very emotionally stable human cub.

"Mom, feed Zhou Zhou a bowl of milk powder at around 2 o'clock."

It was still early for the child's next meal, so Gu Jia and Zhou Jing went to the company together and fed the child with milk powder at around 2 o'clock. They got home from get off work at around 5 o'clock, just in time to breastfeed the child.

After returning to the company, Zhou Jing went to the operations department to check on the situation of the mobile phone after it was launched on the market.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou."

The girl in charge of online stores in the Operations Department opened the backend data of online stores of several websites.

"How's the sale going?"

Zhou Jing asked while looking at the computer screen.

"Yes, we have already received over 100 orders, and many people have browsed and consulted us. They are probably skeptical about whether their phones can connect to Bluetooth speakers and are waiting to see."

The girl said as she clicked on various data on the computer.

"I promised them that they can return the goods within seven days after receiving them without any reason, and the return shipping is free."

As Zhou Jing expected, more than four hundred yuan is not just a few dozen yuan. If a Bluetooth speaker worth dozens of yuan doesn't work well, it can just be put in the bottom of the box. However, it is different with mobile phones worth hundreds of yuan. Consumers are more cautious before they are sure whether they can return the product smoothly or whether the return is included in the shipping.

"it is good."

The girl quickly added a blessing return promise in the background.

“Has the order been sent to the electronics factory?”

Zhou Jing continued to ask.

"sent."

The girl said as she responded to a customer's inquiry.

Seeing that the girl was busy replying to messages, Zhou Jing did not continue to disturb her. He went to the office and asked Gu Jia to recruit two customer service representatives for the operations department to be responsible for replying to customer inquiries.

"Are two enough?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"Almost. The questions that need to be answered are very simple." Zhou Jing stretched, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and continued: "So far, more than a hundred mobile phones have been sold."

"Yes, nowadays people in big cities shop online more, while in small cities the main online shoppers are college students."

With the selling points of Ideal mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers, sales will definitely get better and better. According to the trend on the first day of the mobile phone's launch, it will easily exceed 10,000 units in the first month. The net profit during the event will be more than one hundred per unit, and 10,000 units will be one or two million. It is still possible to make money by selling mobile phones. The more Gu Jia thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Big brands like Nokia and Samsung sell tens of millions of units a year. Their net profit alone is tens of billions, right?"

Gu Jia fantasized that if Ideal Mobile Phone could sell one million units this year, the net profit would be over 100 million.

"The mobile phone market is worth trillions of dollars every year. my country has the world's largest market, and smartphones are updated quickly. In the next ten years, this pie will get bigger and bigger, and fewer and fewer brands will be able to survive."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Starting a business is difficult, and maintaining a business is even more difficult. What if my child ruins the family business?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"If you lose, you lose. Just live your life well."

Zhou Jing is not worried that his descendants will not be helpful. People have enough things to worry about in life. Children have their own destiny. Why should they worry about what will happen after they die while they are still alive?

"As long as you can think about it."

After becoming a parent, Gu Jia realized the helplessness of human beings. While working hard to live, she also has to worry about her children's future. Of course, watching her children grow up can also be a wonderful experience.

"Mr. Zhou, the official website of Ideal Technology is ready."

Wang Tao brought the computer to Zhou Jing's office and demonstrated it to Zhou Jing.

The official website software icon is [ideal], and below the icon is the text [ideal official website]. Double-click to enter. After a short advertising screen, you will enter the homepage. The webpage has special areas for product display, shopping cart, customer service, after-sales service, etc.

"Sure, if that's okay, then apply for certification!"

Zhou Jing took a rough look and decided that the next step was to have the operations department add the product and information. It could only be put into use after the steps of applying for certification and activating online payment were completed.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.'s products currently include mobile phones, Bluetooth speakers, mobile power supplies, earphones, and data cables. The next step will be to develop watches, tablets, electric toothbrushes, cameras, etc., and gradually enrich the product range.

"it is good."

Wang Tao closed his computer and left the office.

"If the price is the same, what's the difference between selling it on the official website and selling it on Taobao JD?"

Gu Jia poured a glass of water for them and said.

"We can increase marketing channels by giving profits to e-commerce platforms, and e-commerce platforms will provide publicity, appropriate discounts or gifts, which is a win-win situation."

"Oh."

Gu Jia understood. To put it bluntly, it was the same as offline stores.

“It’s getting sexier.”

Zhou Jing said as he looked at Gu Jia's legs wrapped in black pantyhose under the table.

"is it?"

Gu Jia moved the chair a little further away and raised one leg to stretch towards Zhou Jing.
