Chapter 171: Charlotte's Ambition

"Shocking!! Prince William and Princess Kate appeared at a new product launch event of a certain mobile phone brand in London!!"

"The royal family behind the emerging brand!!"

"St. Andrews got one of the biggest clients on earth right from the start!!"

The next day, the media all over the UK and around the world were reporting the news.It was the giants such as the "Thames River Daily" and "The Sun" in the UK that first came out.Of course, they didn't send reporters to this press conference, even though they sent invitations.They all quoted articles from a local London tabloid and a local Southampton media.

Speaking of which, these giants of the British media also have some regrets. I knew that Prince William and Princess Kate would attend this event. You, the organizer, have written it clearly on the invitation letter. I guarantee that we will produce the most elite and powerful reports line-up.

If you don't make it clear, why are we interested?How many small press conferences like this are there every day across the country?It's impossible to send someone there every time an invitation is sent, right?Nima, isn't this company called St. Andrews a scam!

In fact, Charlotte is not absolutely sure that she will be able to invite Prince William and his wife. Although there are previous foreshadowings and invitations from university alumni activities, they are too high-ranking, and no one is [-]% sure that they will be able to invite them.That's why Charlotte didn't ask Anna to explain that there would be members of the royal family coming during the invitation and other public relations activities. Wouldn't it be a big pit if they didn't come?

But it's no longer necessary to think about it, because this event was very successful, and St. Andrews became popular with the help of Prince William's fake tiger prestige.

The configuration and quality are not inferior to other high-end mobile phones. At the same time, the performance beats competitors by several blocks. The stylish design is also in line with the trend. Coupled with the influence of Prince William, it is difficult for this mobile phone to sell well!
Don't you see that when Prince William held his wedding last month, the wedding car was a Jaguar car, and the sales of Jaguar in Europe directly increased by 30.00% in this month! !
And Charlotte still has a back hand. After the meeting, he sent two mobile phones to the industry's evaluation media, websites, forums and related organizations.First, it is convenient for them to have a deeper understanding of their products, and to be able to evaluate this mobile phone in a timely, objective and fair manner. Second, it is naturally shortest to eat people and short on hands.

Naturally, it is impossible for the media from China to report and write articles after returning to China. The moment they saw Prince William and his wife appeared, they decided to rush to write the article overnight, and finally sent the article directly to the company through the Internet, striving for Beijing time tomorrow. Reports can be released early in the morning.

The Chinese are naturally not as brain-dead fans of the British royal family as the British, but people still maintain a high degree of attention and curiosity about this ancient European aristocrat.So, this is destined to be big news.

At the same time, some Chinese media also captured the scene of Charlotte laughing and chatting with two of the company's two senior executives, Anna, Sean, and William and his wife.The mobile phone that Charlotte showed in the FA Cup game before the cooperation was the product of this company, and Prince William said on the rostrum that the FA Cup champion coach gave them two mobile phones.

So when these relationships are connected, it will be found that Charlotte is definitely inextricably linked with this company.At the same time, Prince William and Princess Kate have a good personal relationship with a Chinese, which is also a good news selling point.

Charlotte is now very well-known in the country, even though he has only won a second-level league championship and a British cup championship.But he is the first Chinese head coach who has won such a high honor abroad. At the same time, he is so young and his experience is so legendary.

So now Charlotte has become the idol of many young fans. As long as a fan knows that he is not good at playing football and is also 20 years old and missed the best time to play football, then he fantasizes about being a head coach It is definitely their first ideal career other than players.

Otherwise, football manager games such as FM and CM would not be so popular.

So when Charlotte showed her mobile phone in public, the group of young people found that this mobile phone was something they had never seen before, so they naturally wanted to check the information of this mobile phone out of curiosity.So even if this new product launch event is not held, with the help of Charlotte's Dongfeng mobile phone, it can be considered a little famous in China, especially among young fans.

And when this press conference came out, when factors such as Charlotte, the mobile phone and Prince William and Princess Kate were connected, the mobile phone completely became popular in China.

At present, China and the United Kingdom have begun to show the prototype of the first market of St. Andrews, followed by other European countries.

The market situation in North America is relatively bleak.After all, Apple and BlackBerry are the top players in their local area. With Samsung, which has a strong brand awareness, it will take time for St. Andrews to open up this market.

Anna found Charlotte with the financial statement: "Currently, our 35 orders are already in full swing, and these 35 orders are expected to collect nearly [-] million pounds! At the same time, our press conference a few days ago was very successful , The number of orders is rising steadily, so we can use the [-] million funds, and we are not worried about the subsequent capital chain breaking."

The use of the company's funds is naturally decided by the boss, Charlotte. Offensive Anna has a standard fund allocation plan in mind, but she still has to ask Charlotte for instructions.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder almost all well-known companies are developing the mobile phone market in the future. Sure enough, this industry is very profitable!" Charlotte said to herself while holding the financial report.

Anna is already immune to her boss's soliloquies. This strange boss often has some whimsical ideas, and at the same time loves to talk nonsense, and no one can understand these nonsense, so she now Already ignored this weird soliloquy.

Charlotte has experience. In addition to brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu, even domestic Internet company LeTV and Gree Group, which produces air conditioners, will be producing mobile phones in the future, which shows the profit margins.Of course, the most convincing thing is that Charlotte only invested a few million pounds one after another, and the first batch of harvest has already received [-] million pounds, even though there are still a lot of balance owed for raw materials. And operating costs, it can be regarded as a big profit.

What's more, this is still a long-term meal ticket. The global sales of 35 units a month is not a very abnormal figure. Not to mention Samsung and Apple, even the future sales of Huawei, Xiaomi and HTC will far exceed this figure.So even if Charlotte's situation is not good in the future, if the sales volume is always the same, then he and Sean's team have already made a lot of money.

Of course, this is just the worst plan. As an aspiring young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring wave of reform, Charlotte's pursuit is definitely not so stark.

"After deducting the raw material procurement funds of raw material partners and the cost of the foundry, the remaining funds are respectively established in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Toronto, London, Paris, Milan and Munich, Germany. At the same time, we cooperate with local mobile phone repair companies to establish an after-sales system locally. Since our funds are not abundant and our products are not rich enough, the store does not need to be too large. The main reason is that the decoration style must reflect the spirit of our company Culture, we will consider expanding stores and establishing flagship stores in other important cities after our products increase.”

"The after-sales service must be good, and we can spend more budget in this regard, but our after-sales must be better than the pre-sales. This is the main factor for us to win consumers, and we cannot slack off in this regard."

"The balance of the material partner's arrears must be paid off in time. This is the first time we have cooperated with the other party, so naturally we can't be too trusting."

"Anyway, you can implement the specifics. If you don't have enough funds, go to the bank for a loan. I want to see our sales and the press conference a while ago. At least tens of millions of pounds can be borrowed from a few banks in London. Is it big?"

"Oh, that's right. Sean is a native of Canada, right? He is more familiar with North America. Tell him that a good opportunity to go home to visit relatives at public expense has come, and Toronto and New York will be handed over to him for the time being."

"Well, the research and development of tablet computers, notebooks and new mobile phones should be accelerated. The R&D studio can be expanded due to insufficient manpower. The group of nerds from the Computer Department of St. Andrews can be recruited by promising young people. You can also go to Imperial College to recruit people. Although our name is St. Andrews, we are a company with a global view after all, and it doesn’t have to be limited to St. Andrews students. I know a very good Imperial College My otaku dick, let’s see if he has any suitable recommendations.”

Charlotte often has some whimsical ideas, but she doesn't have a systematic plan.After all, he is already very busy as the head coach, so he naturally doesn't have time to sit in front of the computer and write any business proposals.

So Anna took out her mobile phone and recorded all of Charlotte's words, and then focused on these key points, and went back to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and at the same time generate a complete planning document.

Charlotte is like a captain on a long voyage, holding a compass in his hand to determine the course.Anna and Sean are the helmsmen, responsible for controlling the steering wheel in their hands, while the other members of the research room are ship engineers, responsible for developing new types of marine equipment, maintaining and updating the pirate ship, which is a luxury cruise ship.

As for other ordinary employees, they are naturally sailors.

In addition to being a high-tech R&D talent, Sean is also quite capable in business, which is why there were so many people in their research team, and he was the only one who was recommended for sponsorship.Therefore, in addition to the research and development work of the studio, Sean also cooperates with the company's operation and management.

This once made Sean extremely dissatisfied, and he insisted that Charlotte give him two salaries, otherwise he would go to the British Ministry of Labor to sue Charlotte for exploiting labor.Of course, this is just a joke among friends.

St. Andrews's first product is slowly spreading its influence, so Charlotte began to care about new products.We must know that a company with only one product will naturally not have much development prospects in the future, so the product ideas of tablet computers and notebook computers were submitted to the R&D studio in the past few months.

In Charlotte's conception, the company's future will be a diversified technology company based on conventional digital 3C products such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks and desktops, and then developing emerging technologies as the core.

Gree does not produce air conditioners, but came to manufacture mobile phones.At the same time, LeEco didn't do a good job in its own video website, but also worked part-time on mobile phones and TVs, and even built a super sports car "not doing business properly".Then it seems that it is not an exaggeration for my own St. Andrews to make some other products, right?
