For the specific number of staff who organized the streamlining, the Meizu did not disclose it in internal letters. It is reported that there are about 600 people and there are not as many 2,000 rumors.
Meizu also stated in its internal letter that Meizu’s mission is to provide consumers with technological products that do not drift along and have craftsmanship. If we cannot maintain streamlining and efficiency, we will not be able to fulfill this mission for a long time. The next wave of 5G and IOT will follow. To arrive, our organization must seize opportunities in a streamlined and efficient manner.
The following is the full text of the Meizu internal letter
The president of the office sent his colleagues:
In the past few years, Meizu successfully expanded sales. However, in this process, we did not stick to the principle of streamlining and efficient, and at the same time expanded the company's staff size.
The fact is: When the Meizu sales exceeded 20 million units in 2015, our staff was only 2,000. Successfully maintained a high efficiency of '10,000 units per person'.
Organizational simplification and personnel optimization will help the company reduce operating costs and achieve profitable goals. If the company's operational efficiency is improved, we have full capacity to achieve profitability.
However, profitability is not the goal of Meizu. Meizu’s mission is to provide consumers with technology products that do not drift along and have craftsmanship. If we cannot keep it streamlined and efficient, we will not be able to fulfill this mission for a long time.
The streamlined and efficient system is conducive to strengthening the fighting power of these first-line teams in hardware and software products and marketing.
Although Meizu is a small company and is located in China’s largest consumer market, it has won long-term competition in the face of fierce market competition. In the global smart phone industry, the tenacity of Meizu’s vitality can make many former giants shame.
Moreover, Meizu is not only one of the most tenacious companies in this industry, but also has played an important role in the industry. We have promoted the popularity of high-end smartphones, brought the design and quality to young people. Next, our Full screen products will also provide consumers with unique value.
Today, we must not forget that: The foundation of the past 15 years is an excellent product and high efficiency.
Next is coming. Our organization must seize opportunities in a sufficiently streamlined and efficient manner.
However, Meizu's changes today cannot deny all people's contribution to the Meizu at any time. Here we thank all Meizu and Meizu colleagues.
Thank you!
