Chapter 249 Opening the door to receive customers, business is booming(1/2)
Yu Yu has joined Autohome.
The position is deputy general manager and editor-in-chief.
Zhang Fugui originally had objections to this arrangement.
However, Cao Yang gave a simple explanation and he had no objection at all.
Of course, Zhang Fugui's arrangements will definitely not be announced until after the Nanshan internal meeting. Now let him continue to escort Yu Yu.
However, after the news that Yu Yu joined Autohome spread within NetEase, Fang Dawen's mood became complicated.
"Lao Fang, you are quite capable of providing talents to Autohome."
"This time our game section has been rectified. Is it because of Autohome?"
Pan Wei is the project director of "Westward Journey". He joined the company in the same year as Fang Dawen, so they are relatively familiar with each other.
So after he heard that someone from the Auto Channel had switched jobs to Auto Home, he made a special inquiry.
In the end, it was okay if he didn't ask about it, but when he did, he got a little angry.
"He has not signed a non-competition agreement with the company, and he is free to go wherever he wants."
"Speaking of which, the responsibility this time cannot be entirely blamed on him."
Although Fang Dawen felt uncomfortable in his heart, he definitely had to explain something from Yu Yu's perspective.
Otherwise, he, the editor-in-chief of a car channel, would be disgraced.
"That's what he said, but it's still hard for people to understand that he came up with stupid tricks to deal with Autohome and then joined the other company's back."
Pan Wei's gaming sector was the most affected by this incident, so the opinions were also the greatest.
As for the car channel, overall, the traffic has increased.
After all, the "ladies as car models" section is really awesome.
Some of the original Autohome users were attracted.
This has made several other portal websites a little excited about the car channels, and they are hesitant to have sections such as "Wife as a car model", "Girlfriend as a car model", "Baby as a car model".
"There are not many Internet companies here in Yangcheng. Apart from us, the most famous one is Autohome."
"In the past year, the number of employees in the company who have switched jobs to Autohome has probably been more than a dozen, if not a hundred."
"This is considered a normal flow of personnel. You don't have to think too much about it."
Fang Dawen would not accept Pan Wei's accusations under any circumstances.
Otherwise, it will look like the car channel has really done something wrong.
Fortunately, Pan Wei only complained and did not pursue him.
But oh, Autohome has completely entered his field of vision.
…
After the New Year's Day holiday, Cao Yang began to enter a new round of busyness.
This time, he was not busy dealing with internal affairs of the company, but busy receiving customers.
On the schedule, bosses from various OEMs came to visit with their teams for several days in a row.
As a supplier, it's hard for you to say no.
The first one to come was BYD, which had a geographical advantage. Wang Fu personally brought more than a dozen people from R&D, procurement, and sales to Nanshan Industrial Park.
After visiting the production line of F6 engines, gearboxes and other parts in the industrial park, we returned to the conference room.
"Mr. Wang, I'm a little curious. Does the name BYD have any special meaning?"
Many people think that conversations between high-level people must be very serious, and the discussions are all about high-level topics.
Actually no.
Everyone is human.
Normal greetings are no different from ordinary people.
Like now, after everyone entered the conference room and had a brief sip of tea, Cao Yang and Wang Fu, the two bosses of both parties, began to chat.
In fact, in many negotiation scenarios, at the beginning, the bosses of both teams will chat for a few minutes.
Then slowly enter the topic.
This can be regarded as a process in which both parties get to know each other, sort out their ideas, and prepare their speeches.
"Mr. Cao, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Although Wang Fu was born in technology, he is actually very talkative.
Otherwise, there would be no way to build the company to its current scale.
"oh?"
“So what if it’s the truth, what if it’s a lie?”
Cao Yang looked at Wang Fu with interest.
"The lie is that this name is a good-sounding name that I selected after careful consideration."
"As for the truth..."
"Mr. Cao, you know that there are many companies in Shenzhen. It is not easy to name two-character names. All five-character names have been registered. Then you can only choose three characters. 'BYD' is weird and easier.
pass."
After finishing speaking, Wang Fu added, "It was difficult to start a business at that time, and I didn't know whether I could survive."
"Now that the company has grown, has Mr. Wang ever thought about rebranding it?"
Since Wang Fu came to visit him specifically today, Cao Yang was naturally prepared to give some feedback.
It also makes people feel that this trip to Nanshan is worth it.
"Mr. Cao, what you said has been thought up internally by us. During this period, we have taken out the initials of BYD and turned it into 'byd'. We are going to focus on promoting this brand name in the future."
"This will prevent everyone from always thinking that the word BYD is neither Chinese nor foreign, and is a bit weird."
Wang Fu seemed very frank on this matter.
At his level, there is no need to hide anything over such "little things".
"Although the three letters "byd" feel a little better than the three letters "BYD", I think it can actually be done better!
When Cao Yang said this, not only Wang Fu became interested, but also BYD's sales director Wu Huabing and R&D director Liang Chuanqing and others looked at Cao Yang very curiously.
"Mr. Cao, I would like to hear the details!"
"Byd, extended to build your dream, that is, achieve your dream!"
Cao Yang did not hesitate and directly moved the things that were used by others for later generations. Anyway, the things just returned to their original owners.
“Byd, build your dream, make your dream come true!”
Wang Fu muttered several sentences in succession. The more he muttered, the more excited his expression became.
This interpretation is many times better than the one proposed by my company before.
"Mr. Cao, awesome!"
"You are really awesome!"
"This sentence alone is worth 100 million!"
"You saved BYD 100 million!"
“This year’s annual business price reduction, Nanshan does not need to reduce it!”
Wang Fu is a man who knows the goods.
Although Cao Yang just said a simple sentence, this sentence is really priceless to BYD now.
The importance of a good name is unquestionable.
In order to give Lexus a good name, Toyota spent at least more than 10 million US dollars on the back and forth, and finally a generation of classics was born.
Now BYD has sublimated its name so easily and made it look very fashionable. This benefit cannot be simply measured in terms of money.
"Then I'd like to thank Mr. Wang very much!"
"The factories in Nanshan have just been put into production in the past two years, and the investment in various equipment has not been recovered yet. There is really great pressure to reduce prices."
When Wang Fu said that Nanshan would be exempted from the annual price reduction this year, Cao Yang naturally agreed unceremoniously.
This is not the time to be modest, it's all real money.
Besides, Cao Yang’s positioning of Nanshan has always been to rely on technology to win orders.
It’s not that car companies can’t cooperate with their annual price cuts.
But if the price is reduced by five or ten points every year, then there is no need to talk about it.
His goal is to get closer to Bosch and Denso, and he will give you a symbolic price reduction of one to two points every year, which is considered very cooperative.
