Chapter 770 Be a Prophet (3/5)
The mobile phone industry in 2018 was in a recession, and the Matthew effect was undoubtedly revealed. The stronger the stronger the stronger, so except for Huawei's surge, other competitors were not able to have a good time. Gionee Hammer 360 and others began to withdraw one after another.
What makes Xiaomi more funny is that it invented a "bamboo forest theory" based on its seemingly good ecological chain to support its valuation. The bamboo forest is drawing a bamboo forest or a bamboo forest. Xiaomi's mobile phone shipments have declined, and there is still an ecological chain, so there is nothing wrong with it.
This is just to say in the year of growth. It is not difficult to come in and grab some food when it grows. When it is declining, you can clearly see who is swimming naked. For example, in the bamboo forest of Xiaomi, if the bamboo shoots on your phone are pulled out, the water pipe will be gone, and the whole forest will die.
That's why Xiaomi made a series of earthquake magnitude adjustments while struggling. All of this was seen by Liu Lu. She had deep feelings for Xiaomi and saw the beautiful side.
Although Chu Yuanxi is not disgusted with Xiaomi, the most likely thing for companies in the downward trend is the ugly side.
Speaking of the interview, Liu Lu suddenly looked strange because she had been chatting with Elizabeth for a while before. Elizabeth was about to join the job, and she was the assistant to the president, so it was impossible for her to bypass Liu Lu. This position is so dazzling that the person who guessed that the president would hire an assistant sooner or later had already been stolen, but was snatched by a foreign girl who had been airborne. How could he not talk about it?
Therefore, she already knew Elizabeth's interview questions, and recorded them in her small notebook. This is the type of test questions that Chu Yuanxi likes to give, and she will probably use them in the future.
Then she never expected that she used it in a blink of an eye, and then thought about it carefully, oh? Yes? No matter how she looked, she felt that Xiaomi's operation was exactly the same as GoPro. The ceiling of the main business was not high enough, so she had to rush to another track. But there were giant players on the other track, and she had neither the gene nor the technology and technology. This kind of cross-track adventure was almost a reward for giving away people, but it was not as bad as the main business. They were also listed companies, GoPro but fell to the bottom.
Thinking of this, Liu Lu felt a complex and difficult-to-understand feeling in her heart, but then she thought that Gopro was just a company of two thousand people, far inferior to Xiaomi.
However, Liu Lu is a person who has been tempered in the workplace. He cannot argue with the top leader like a naughty young man. Even if he wants to express himself, he has to find a suitable way. She thought for a while, "By the way, Chu Yuanxi, are you angry when I question you? Are you annoyed?"
"It should be said that you are better than Yuan Mu."
What is this evaluation? Why doesn’t it sound like a good thing? Liu Lu looked at Chu Yuanxi and waited for him to explain further: "You see, Yuan Lu doesn’t question it, but in fact she has always questioned it."
"Then why didn't she say it?"
"I must be afraid of saying the wrong thing, so I will go back and talk to her brother first?"
"Hahaha, you're too hurt."
"What else can it be? She has never worked in a business before, so she must also adapt to doing CFO suddenly. It's not that she can do it with the right skills." Chu Yuanxi encouraged Yuan Lu: "I like people who are capable of thinking independently, but the premise is that she has the ability. I hope she will question me after she has it."
"It seems that you can still move forward in doubt. I'll feel at ease."
Chu Yuanxi said, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't doubt me, don't worry, don't doubt me, haha, you must strengthen your memory, Sister Liu Lu. "I know you are a conscientious employee and never speaks bad things about your former boss. However, if you want to match Xiaomi to acquire Baren Group, I can only make you question me. I still admire Rebs, but for Xiaomi, through last year's ipo, I now have a completely negative attitude. I can't believe anything except cash and ash."
Chu Yuanxi said and made a move of some money, but Liu Lu was so choked, "Why? Xiaomi didn't mess with you?"
"Xiaomi didn't mess with me, but I was not optimistic. Not only did I not optimistic, the capital market overall gave a downward channel. Do you know why?" Chu Yuanxi quickly asked and answered: "Because Xiaomi knew that technology was related to life and death and needed technology to be an engine for development, but what about the R&D expense rate? You have already ipopular the R&D expense rate of 3.3%, and you haven't invested money in scientific research. All the money was used in sinking channels to fight sales wars with big blue and green manufacturers. Where did you get the confidence to benchmark with Huawei and Apple?"
"Oh, what you said, Xiaomi folding screen phone, 100w fast charging, under-screen camera, and surging chips, aren't these technology? Is it the strong wind blowing?"
"Where is the product?" Chu Yuanxi's eyes turned, "Are you doing scientific research on Weibo? The first thing you started calling was Xiaomi. Others' products were still shouting. Last year, the whole country was making chips, and there was no movement at all. The market was training to produce conditioned reflexes. Once you post on Weibo, you ended the rebound and started falling. Have you used your R&D expenses to post on Weibo? We must never become such a company.
And look at what Xiaomi has done? Meitu can't continue to do it and authorizes its brand to Xiaomi. Xiaomi is like a treasure and thinks it can get the incremental market for women. If this is possible, why doesn't Meitu do it? Everyone has no technology, they are all solution integrators. If others have stepped on it, they must step on it again?
Then enter the home appliance company. Isn’t this funny? But it’s hard to say that Xiaomi’s R&D fee rate and absolute value are just a little lower than Gree. It’s just right to benchmark the home appliance company, so you can make another bet with Ms. Dong.”
Liu Lu had nothing to say, thinking that Chu Yuanxi's ability to heir others is definitely more capable than his ability to start a business, and this wave of complaints is full of scores! "Are you so unfavorable to Xiaomi's home appliances? Xiaomi has some users. In your words, there are a large number of rice fans that can be monetized for commercial purposes."
"You know best that Sister Liu Lu. Xiaomi users are young people, and they are young people who pursue high cost performance. Do young people buy smart homes in this way? How low is the price of your smart home? People buy it?"
Chu Yuanxi thought I had to be a prophet, and then whispered: "What I don't like most about Xiaomi is that such an obvious problem is obvious at a glance, but no one can turn it around like Xiaomi and go to death. This company is already sick, and Jun You're sick and intestines, and immediately gets bone marrow. Only the most powerful medicine can cure this kind of stock. Do you want me to collect this kind of stock? I won't charge it."
