Facing the problem suddenly thrown out by Wu Tao, Cheng Congwu hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning of the blue ocean, but he keenly grasped the focus of the problem 'the next piece', the next Blue Ocean
Wait, isn't the domestic navigation industry just starting?
At least at present, the information collection project cooperated by Gaode company and relevant national geographic institutions and organizations has not been fully launched.
There are only map information of several major cities in the country in the company's map database.
For a moment, Cheng Cong Wu had a myriad of thoughts in the sea, but he just didn't know how to deal with the problem thrown by Wu Tao.
He coughed twice, put his hands together and answered tentatively, "Mr. Wu, our company focuses on cooperating with Volkswagen and other well-known automobile manufacturers to undertake the development of automobile navigation module as the company's business breakthrough."
"... in this regard, we are confident because we have the foundation for GPS development and application before..."
Before Cheng Cong Wu Biao finished his words of determination, he was interrupted by Wu Tao: "in this regard, I know that the information of your company in the project evaluation has been reflected. But this can't support your company to start IPO and embark on the long-term goal of the international market, can it? "
"This..." Cheng Congwu was so dissatisfied that he was worried: "president Wu, the automobile market, especially the future growth of automobile demand in China, is still very considerable."
However, Wu Tao was not in a hurry. He leaned against the back of the chair, rather than saying, "I don't deny this. But can the growth of car ownership be equated with the ownership of navigation modules undertaken by your company? "
Cheng Congwu's mind turned sharply, but he began to understand that the young man in front of him was indeed a smart man with leaping thinking. If he stayed a little, I'm afraid he couldn't keep up with each other's ideas.
"Mr. Wu, you are right. In the future, there will be domestic peers or foreign counterparts in this market, which will divide up the market. Therefore, Gaode's market share is not equal to the ownership rate of domestic cars."
With these words, Cheng Congwu felt a little thirsty. He drank all the tea in the cup at one go, and he couldn't hold it down.
It's really the legendary entrepreneur. Speaking, it's deadly and to the point.
It's no wonder that yuanqike's skills have jumped from an unknown mobile phone manufacturer to the top three in the global mobile phone industry in just a few years!
However, Wu Tao's next words made him feel more on pins and needles.
"With all due respect, the competition between the assembly and the industry is not the main reason why Gaode's market share is far less than the car ownership rate."
"... in other words, the car navigation module will not become a necessary module in auto parts." Wu Tao is too lazy to beat around the Bush, "because it has defects in functional design and is naturally short."
Hearing this, Cheng Congwu's old face turned red in an instant.
When he was nearly 40 years old, he seldom blushed with people.
But now some people criticize their products, don't they have to ignore them like protecting calves?
"Mr. Wu, your remarks may be because you don't know enough about our products. The selection of Gaode navigation module can promote car owners to get familiar with the route as soon as possible and expand the action range of the car. "
"... in turn, this will help auto manufacturers promote their products. The two complement each other and are a win-win relationship. "
Facing Cheng Congwu's radical reaction, Wu Tao smiled and didn't take it to heart. "You're right, I agree."
"... however, now all parts of China are in a period of rapid development, and the city map is changing with each passing day. How to update the map information in time for the Gaode navigation module provided by your company? "
Cheng Congwu rubbed his chin and stubble around his mouth, which was his subconscious reaction after he was nervous.
As soon as the expert reaches out his hand, he knows whether there is one.
The legendary figure in front of him is really not in vain. He even knows the products in his field like the back of his hand.
"This is really a difficult problem," Cheng Congwu had to admit. "At present, the scheme we give is that the company provides regular updates to major manufacturers, and then major manufacturers promote them to 4S stores. Car customers can choose to upgrade the map package during maintenance, repair or appropriate time. "
Speaking of later, Cheng Congwu's momentum gradually weakened, and his inner strength was also exposed.
Wu Tao poured another cup of tea for the other party, then raised his glass to invite him and said, "Cheng, believe it or not, this upgrade way will not reach 30% of the customers who really choose to upgrade in the future."
"... in the long run, the role of the navigation function module will be abandoned, so that it will eventually become a non essential option to highlight the grade and specification."
That said, Cheng Congwu's heart sank little by little, wow cool.
Originally, the company's internal estimate of the upgrade rate was 60%, but Wu Tao cut it in half.
This is not a question of doubling the market share.
But the self link determines that the vehicle navigation module is reduced from the expected mandatory module to the optional module.
This is going to die.
No wonder Gaode company only won the second prize in this huge project evaluation activity.
Cheng Congwu's mind turned back and understood Wu Tao's starting point.
Look at the careful thinking of others. Even casual conversations can echo from beginning to end, revealing the truth step by step and sentence by sentence, which makes people suddenly realize and have to be convinced.
Cheng Congwu's idea is to turn around.
However, Wu Tao, who raised this topic and guided the conversation, has not achieved his original goal.
However, he did not take the initiative to mention it, but waited for the founder to understand and ask questions himself.
Of course, in the end, if the other party doesn't ask at all, Wu Tao will consider choosing another person to convey the development concept he wants to express.
In any case, there is no shortage of similar talents.
Just need to be patient to find out.
Fortunately, Cheng Congwu didn't disappoint him. After a short absorption and precipitation, he suddenly looked like a child. He couldn't even speak neatly. He stumbled and asked, "president Wu, you... You just... Said... The next blue ocean. Do you have anything to tell us?"
Wu Tao smiled and was satisfied, but his mouth still didn't take credit. He said, "I can't talk about the instructions. I also see that your company belongs to the software Valley, so I want to communicate with you."
"... since there is a simple built-in navigation module in the car, there are shortcomings in updating and upgrading. Then, can we consider changing an application form to overcome this problem and level the market? "
For a moment, Cheng Congwu's brain began to run over frequency.
Because he didn't want to disappoint the young man in front of him.
A moment later, Cheng Cong Wu Lingguang appeared, and a bold idea jumped into his mind. Although the idea came out with some tricks and flattery, he still said it firmly.
"Combined with lotus smartphone platform, through built-in mobile application, to realize promotion and open up the next blue ocean?"
As soon as Wu Tao patted his legs, he made no secret of his appreciation and encouragement and said, "yes, to be exact, it should open up the next blue ocean through the built-in application for mobile Internet!"
"... in this case, the navigation function will be separated from the framework of the automobile industry and become a daily function popularized by the whole people. Such a market volume can even make your company stand on the tuyere of the mobile Internet era and become the first batch of takeoffs. "
