Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Beibing Country is vast and sparsely populated. Outside of Moscow, the people in the remaining regions had one thing in common: they were poor!

Even a powerhouse like Apple only sold a hundred thousand units per month in Beibing Country.

Of course, Orange Mobile Phone’s sales were concentrated in low-end models. In the mid-range market, it still couldn’t match Mountain Star and Apple.

Chen Yansen multitasked, listening to the work report while flipping through the competitor price monitoring list and store foot traffic analysis report for the Eastern European Market.

Next, the market heads from various countries brought up numerous other issues, such as customs clearance delays, progress on system language optimization, and the review mechanism for localized marketing materials.

Zhou Shouzhi calmly took in the information, analyzed it, grasped the core issues, and then provided solutions.

Exceptional managers typically have a meticulously logical methodology. As long as their thinking was sound, their direction wouldn’t be wrong.

Chen Yansen looked at Lao Zhou and nodded in satisfaction. ’No wonder Lei Yijun is usually so stingy, yet he’s willing to give Zhou Shouzhi raises and stock options. This guy’s ability to get things done really is outstanding!’

In February, total sales in the Eastern European Market were 405,000.

Next, Orange Technology would continue to increase the frequency of its marketing activities and strengthen its channel development.

For example, they planned to launch a summer student discount, finalize a revenue-sharing plan for contract phones with Romanian carriers, and move forward with preparations to open a direct-sales store in Serbia.

An hour later, the Orange Mobile Phone Eastern European Market monthly meeting concluded.

Seeing that his boss hadn’t expressed any opinions during the entire meeting, Zhou Shouzhi waited until everyone else had left and asked softly, ”Boss, do you have any new directives for our expansion efforts in the Eastern European Market?”

”You’ve done a good job with building the channel network, brand promotion, and localized operations. However, the proportion of low-end models is too high. It’s fine to use low-priced products to open up the market, but we can’t rely on a low-price strategy long-term,” Chen Yansen said unhurriedly.

”Understood, Boss. I’ll re-evaluate the expansion plan for the Eastern European Market right away,” Zhou Shouzhi immediately responded.

”Has the time for the new product launch been set?” Chen Yansen asked.

”March 18th, 2 PM, at the Sky Garden,” Zhou Shouzhi replied.

”This will be the debut of Aurora Future OS. I need you to keep an eye on it for me. Make sure nothing goes wrong,” Chen Yansen said, patting Lao Zhou on the shoulder.

”Don’t worry. Wang Teng, Ye Qiuping, and I will review the whole process again before next week,” Zhou Shouzhi nodded.

Chen Yansen hummed in acknowledgment, then got up and walked out of the conference room.

He glanced out the window. The sky was filled with iridescent clouds, and in the distance, the rapeseed fields were a lush, vibrant green.

He raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was a quarter past four in the afternoon.

Back in his office, President Chen plopped down into his chair, gestured with his hand, and a bottle of ice-cold Coke flew into his palm.

TSSSK!

Chen Yansen took a big gulp, then propped his feet up on the desk, leaned back in his plush executive chair, and comfortably scrolled through Mimo Short Video.

’I have to admit, the recommendation algorithm Zhang Yiming and Liang Bo came up with is truly one-of-a-kind. The more you scroll, the more addictive it becomes.’

To get more traffic, video creators in the North American Region had come up with all sorts of ways to push the boundaries of suggestive content.

President Chen scrolled casually for a few hours and couldn’t help but marvel, ’So wild.’

The content and values promoted on Mimo were too vulgar, but that was precisely what catered to the tastes of local users.

Total registered users had already surpassed thirty million, with over ten million daily active users.

Twitter’s short-video app, Vine, was no match for Mimo at all.

「Meanwhile.」

A bombshell piece of news broke: Microsoft was about to acquire Nokia’s mobile phone division for an estimated price of over 7 billion US Dollars!

It instantly sent shockwaves across the internet!

Although Nokia’s glory had faded due to the failure of the Symbian OS, its global phone shipments were still ranked second last year.
