Chapter 277 Chatting with Mr. Lei
Bustling with people coming and going.

Soon, a person walked over in front of him. Shen Yi took a closer look and found that he was an acquaintance again: "Boss Lei, long time no see."

When Rebus saw Shen Yi, he also laughed, speaking in Mandarin with his hometown flavor:

"Long time no see. If Mr. Shen is in Jijing, I will chat with you once a week."

As we all know, this Rebs often likes to chat with people, and he often chats for a day.

"Mr. Lei can also consider moving the headquarters to Jiankang. Now Mengyuan has a lot of resources."

Mr. Lei shook his head: "That's definitely not possible. With you in Jiankang, one company can support the entire Internet industry of Jiankang. Wouldn't it be a dead end if I came here?"

"It's not that serious."

Rebus was also a little dazed. Mengyuan Information Technology is a world-class mobile phone company with a global shipment of 2 million. It is said that Jiankang's logistics has been expanded many times.

Although the mobile phone foundries are not in the same place, Jiankang's logistics is so valued... This has something to do with Mengyuan Group.

The GDP brought by Mengyuan to Jiankang is very high, and it has also brought tens of thousands of jobs. A large number of high-end talents are now pouring into Jiankang.

City leaders are overjoyed. Mengyuan is making rapid progress every year. It only entered the Fortune Global 500 last year and is expected to enter the Fortune 100 this year.

The various indicators brought to Jiankang City are basically very high, and there is no need to worry about being surpassed by Gusu. With Mengyuan Group in Jiankang, it can stabilize Gusu.

Rebus looked at his watch, it was still very early, why not chat with Shen Yi for a while, even if the other party was much younger than him, he was also the CEO of Mengyuan Group, and his vision should be more accurate than his own.

"The meeting won't start for some time, otherwise we'll go around this ink town first."

"Okay, I just think there's nothing to do during this time, so why not go around with Mr. Lei."

...

"Has Mr. Lei noticed recently? VIVO and OPPO have begun to rise."

"Their phone sales have been increasing and they have gained support from offline consumers."

"Yes, Xiaomi does not have an offline physical store, because this is inconsistent with our original intention when we were founded. We just want to cut out third parties and deliver our own products directly to consumers through the Internet."

"However, Mr. Lei never thought that if he did this, only a handful of users could be harvested, even though it is the era of the rise of family phones.

Xiaomi can leave them behind, but after their channels become [-]% and the outlet for smartphones is fully mature, then it will be the days of Xiaomi's decline.

Many middle-aged and elderly people are reluctant to shop online. They trust the physical stores around them more, because they can be found anywhere and have certain reliability.

And even if Xiaomi appeared in those mobile phone stores, there is a high probability that those salespersons would not recommend Xiaomi's mobile phones to customers, because OPPO and vivo have higher profits and can bring them more benefits. "

Rebus was also carefully digesting what Shen Yi said. He hadn't realized the seriousness of Xiaomi's future situation before.

Now being reminded by Shen Yi, he fell into deep thought. Although Xiaomi's model was successful, he had thought about it, but he didn't fully predict the result.

After all, Rebs has always been a tycoon of the Internet, using the Internet model to make hardware, but he doesn't know the importance of offline channels.

"Mr. Shen has a comprehensive perspective on the problem, but we have no turning back now. The current capital flow does not allow us to widely open offline physical stores."

"This is also a problem for Xiaomi. The price of making mobile phones is too low, so the profit is very small. This profit is small, and it can be loved by fans, but it also exposes many problems. For example, there is no money and supply chain to customize goods. Belittled by the supply chain.

I guess this is why Xiaomi has been out of stock?
No money means no stocking, no stocking means no money, no money and no way to develop.

This is a vicious circle, and if you don't jump out of it sooner, the consequences will be disastrous. "

Rebus nodded. What Shen Yi said was correct, but the original intention of Xiaomi was to use the fan effect.

Now that they have bought the benefits of Xiaomi mobile phones, they will definitely think of the benefits of other Xiaomi products. When choosing something, they will choose Xiaomi products.

That's it, a user of a Xiaomi mobile phone becomes a fan, and other things produced by Xiaomi are basically cheap but can make money.

Among all Xiaomi's revenues, advertising costs account for the bulk. If there is no advertising revenue, they would have been doomed due to lack of funds.

"I suggest Mr. Lei can implement a dual-brand strategy, and Redmi will directly inherit the mission of Xiaomi. It started the most in 1999, with the highest configuration and the lowest price.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, can explore high-end mobile phones and increase profits.

If OPPO and vivo grow up, they will have more capital than you and a more complete supply chain than you. At this time, they can also become a cost-effective mobile phone brand to compete with you in the market.

So, Mr. Lei, think carefully about my suggestion. "

"I think it is very reasonable. After I go back, I will hold a meeting and list the goals of exploring high-end mobile phones.

But Mr. Shen has already made a high-end phone, why not try to make a cost-effective mobile phone? "

"This... our group has too many other businesses. Recently, I founded Mengyuan Biotechnology and invested in a large number of young Internet companies and high-tech companies. Moreover, the doll at home is still breastfeeding. At this time, I can't afford it. body.

It is simply impossible to separate a new series, so I simply gave up the cost-effective mobile phone market. Anyway, no matter who produces cost-effective mobile phones, I will benefit from it. "

In fact, Shen Yi's original meaning was: This piece of meat is too small, I am too lazy to eat it.

It's just that when people talk about people, and when they see ghosts, Shen Yi has to find a tactful reason to shirk it.

So what I heard from Rebs seemed like a forced excuse, and I didn't follow my inner answer at all.

But there are some things that don't need to be asked clearly, and it will hurt more if asked clearly.

The reason why Shen Yi talked about this with Rebs today is because he has also become a shareholder of Xiaomi.

Xiaomi's prosperity will allow him to make more money.

In this case, Shen Yi naturally needs to give some guidance to prevent Xiaomi's entire company from detours.

According to the memory of the previous life, until 2015, Xiaomi was always proud and complacent, making great strides along the way, so that they did not see clearly the road ahead.

There are even co-founders who are so arrogant that they don’t take the supply chain four-star company seriously, and their arrogant attitude annoys the four-star executives.

Who are the four stars?The existence of the dominant level in the supply chain involves chips, storage, screens and other fields, and even chip manufacturing has a role.

The executives of Four Star wrote a letter to the headquarters, explaining in detail the process of being humiliated this time, and the result was that Four Star no longer supplied Xiaomi.

This caused Rebs to go to the Bangzi Country several times, and he also recruited several friends in the mobile phone industry as lobbyists, before he successfully brought back the world-class supplier Four Star.

Xiaomi encountered Waterloo in 2016, and the company's performance has been declining.

However, he reversed all the way and climbed to the top again, which is also inseparable from Rebs.

Rebs really deserves to be a model worker in the industry. For the sake of the company, he often works more than ten hours.

It's good to have such friends.

Mengyuan is now a shareholder of many Internet companies, such as Guadong, Meituan, Shaking Hands, and Pilipili.

Mengyuan is both their shareholder and their friend.

Mengyuan has replaced the polar bear and has become the real overlord of the domestic Internet industry. Whether it is the Internet or the mobile Internet, Mengyuan Group cannot be bypassed now.

Rebus doesn't know how much Mengyuan Group's revenue will break through in the future, but he can be sure that the young man in front of him has a chance to become the richest man in the world.

After all, he controls the entire Mengyuan Group, but occupies more than 95% of the shares, and the remaining meager shares are not the shares of the entire group, but the smart phone business.

For such talents, Rebs is very envious and admired. He can imagine that Mengyuan Group and himself released the first-generation mobile phone basically in the same month.

But in just three years, Mengyuan Group has rapidly expanded to this state, and it is already a peak that is beyond reach.
