How popular is the i1 mobile phone abroad?

To use the simplest number to describe, on the website of the English version of Yuanfang Technology, the number of mobile phones for reservations has exceeded 1 million!

Yes, it's 1 million!

This is not a later generation, just a little brand of mobile phone, often hundreds of thousands of millions of sales. At that time, mobile phones were cheap, and the cheapest mobile phone was only a few hundred yuan, which was completely like giving it for nothing. But now it's different, now mobile phones are expensive, in terms of purchasing power, the 7,000 yuan of a mobile phone is worth 20,000 or 30,000 mobile phones in the future.

But even so, on a global scale, not counting domestic, foreign countries alone, there are one million pre-sale orders received.

Well, of course, the reservation is not the same as the real pre-sale order, you really produce a million mobile phones, and it is a question of whether anyone will buy it at that time. But if this number is folded in half and then folded in half, 100,000 units are still no problem.

Now Yuanfang Technology and all cooperative factories are crazy overtime, all factories work three shifts 24 hours a day, and the production line will not stop for a second. Countless parts are sent to Beitong, and then after assembly, they are sent to the whole country or abroad.

In foreign countries, according to the US dollar standard, the price of an i1 mobile phone is 1200 US dollars. It's really not cheap, the future Apple mobile phone is only a few hundred dollars abroad, and the i1 mobile phone dares to charge 1200 dollars. But even if it is such an expensive price, it can't stand that some people are willing to spend money to buy it, as long as it is a mobile phone shipped to the local market, it will be sold out as soon as possible. The United States is the craziest, the first few batches of mobile phones fainted, as long as they are put on the market, they will be swept away in less than a day.

Such terrifying sales are not only because of the good quality of mobile phones.

The quality of the mobile phone is indeed good and fresh enough, and the buyers' expectations for this mobile phone have long been reported. But this is not all the reason, there is also part of the reason, which is the promotion done by Zhou Fangyuan through Cameron.

He specially got a thousand mobile phones and gave them to Cameron, hoping that Cameron could help him give these mobile phones to some celebrities and let them help promote them. I don't need to promote it, I just use it more often, and it's best to use it more in front of reporters. At the same time, spend some money to buy off some reporters and let them help with publicity. In fact, it doesn't cost much at all, and the main Zhou Fangyuan's current goal is the domestic market for the time being, and the foreign market is placed in second place.

But even so, the i1 mobile phone is still completely popular.

This is also unintentionally inserted into the willows, obviously I didn't plan how to promote it, but it was frantically sought after by the market.

Many media have taken the initiative to report this incident, saying that the i1 mobile phone is the greatest invention in the history of human mobile phones, and it is a cross-era invention of technology.

At most, there are two of them that Zhou Fangyuan has spent money on, and most of the media are completely spontaneous reports, but because of these media spontaneous reports, customers are led to the rhythm. It seems that whoever does not have an i1 mobile phone is behind the times and the world.

As a result, in the following quarter, in North America alone, the sales of i1 mobile phones reached 400,000 units, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is an arcade machine.

Not only in North America, but also in Europe, where the i1 mobile phone sales are 270,000 units, which is a little worse than that in North America, but it is also quite good.

Nanxian, Fuso...... But wherever the i1 phone sales were agreed, the i1 phone sparked a sales frenzy in the local area. And not only mobile phones, but also the sales of wireless routers launched by Yuanfang Technology have also begun to skyrocket. Of course, it can't compare to the sales of mobile phones, but it is being promoted more widely. The domestic is the WAPI protocol, and the foreign is the WiFi protocol, not only individual families will buy, but some office space and government departments will even purchase, and the overall number is only a little worse than that of mobile phones. Of course, the price of the two is not the same.

And half a year after the launch of mobile phones and routers, some Western countries led by the United States launched an investigation into Yuanfang Technology, they said that Yuanfang Technology's mobile phones and routers are suspected of monitoring users' personal ** and undermining national security, for which Yuanfang Technology also specially organized a public relations team to lobby with relevant state departments, and at the same time launched some means in foreign countries, in short, spent a lot of money, and only pressed this matter.

But not long after, Samsung in Nanxian and Apple in the United States also launched smartphones one after another, and smartphones entered the situation of the three kingdoms.

However, in the end, it is still the i1 mobile phone that was launched the earliest and the most popular among users. And there is a very important point in this, that is, the i1 mobile phone has established the collective layout of the smart phone and the design of the other fields of marking, latecomers, can only imitate the appearance and hardware layout of the i1 mobile phone, these are all money, these things Zhou Fangyuan has applied for a patent, including the mobile phone chip. They bought some of the patents from Qualcomm at that time, and some of the patents may not be aware of the importance of the patents until they are actually used. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

Although that small part of the patent is not the whole content of all chips, or even only a small part, but you want to use it in reverse, it is difficult to say.

Moreover, in terms of mobile phone chips, the strengths of all companies are gathered, and Yuanfang Technology also has some of its own things in their hands, which are their own, and other chips either don't use such technology, if they do, then they must pay patent fees.

There is also a mobile phone screen, this is a real hard patent, because this part of the patent is completely bought out, so as long as there is a smart phone on the market, Beitong Glass Factory can charge a patent fee, a piece of glass is not worth much, so if it is 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, 1 million yuan? This price is big.

In short, in the year-long struggle and competition, Yuanfang Technology sits firmly on the throne of the first place in the field of smart phones, although the latecomers Samsung and Apple are currently trying their best to grab the market from Yuanfang Technology, but after all, they can't snatch most of the market, and the position of Yuanfang Technology is still quite stable.

......

"Hahahaha, this time we're making a lot of money!"

The third brother sat on the sofa with a cigar in his mouth and laughed loudly.

Andy also had a smile on his face, Yuanfang Technology made money, and he would follow suit.

Although there has not been a complete statistics, but since the advent of the i1 mobile phone, it has been almost half a year, and almost 300,000 mobile phones have been sold in China, each of which can earn 4,000 yuan. Let Yuanfang Technology become the most profitable company under Yuanfang Group, there is no one.

This is only domestic, foreign is even more exaggerated, $1200 a mobile phone, the cost price, plus a variety of other expenses, a maximum of $400 in the total cost, and even this number is deliberately too large, as long as a mobile phone is sold, a steady profit of $800, North America alone is now close to 500,000 units, more than 1 million mobile phones worldwide, and global profits have reached $800 million.

Yuanfang Technology is a joint-stock company, Zhou Fangyuan himself accounts for 90% of the shares, the third brother has 5% of the shares, Andy has 3%, and the remaining 2% is in Andy's team. At the end of the year, the company can come up with at least 200 million US dollars for dividends, and Andy himself can get at least 6 million US dollars, how can he not be happy? Not to mention that the Android system already has a part of his shares in it, the system shares and mobile phone shares are separated, the Android system has now received applications from many mobile phone manufacturers around the world, Andy can also get a lot of income in this regard, adding up to a year's income of more than 10 million is not a problem at all.

Ten million dollars, in a high-income country like the United States, this is not a small number. Andy is a programmer, although he can make money before, but to be honest, he has never really made any money, so now it is a complete surprise to have such a gain. At least when he first came to Huaxia and joined Yuanfang Technology, he never thought that he would have the treatment he has today.

As for whether he will be unpopular? Yes, there is a possibility. So as early as when Andy just joined Yuanfang Technology, Zhou Fangyuan had already signed an agreement with Andy, if Andy finally wanted to leave Yuanfang Technology, he could, but his shares in Yuanfang Technology and the Android system would be forcibly withdrawn by Zhou Fangyuan, and Zhou Fangyuan would acquire these shares in his personal capacity and give Andy funds equivalent to the market price. So it's okay for others to go, the system has to stay, and the shares have to stay.

In other words, Andy's use value has actually met expectations, and to put it mildly, Andy has no use value. Fortunately, Zhou Fang is far from being a cold-blooded person, he did not propose to buy out the system directly, but to divide the ownership of the system in the form of shares, and finally give a certain amount of financial compensation. Otherwise, just like money, Google bought Andy's system, and finally swept Andy out of the house. Of course, it is said that Andy left on his own initiative, but whether he left on his own initiative or was swept away, from the moment he sold the Android system, theoretically the Android system had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Fangyuan is quite easy to speak, at least he has not completely severed all the relationship between Andy and the system.

"The next step is to further improve the performance of the phone, Andy, this job is still up to you. I promised you before that a scientific research lab would be set up, and now it can be launched, and the company has enough funds, you can find the talent you need around the world, and the company will pay for it. Set up a scientific research laboratory to continuously update the hardware and software of mobile phones. At the same time, we also need to develop new products, not only to upgrade on the basis of mobile phones, but also to make the screen bigger and the performance better, I call it a tablet ......"

Zhou Fangyuan put forward a new plan, the tablet is easy to say, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult, but it is not difficult for these people to expand research and development on the basis of mobile phones.

This is the case of Yuanfang Technology, which has become one of the world's top mobile phone manufacturers from obscurity. Because of the launch of smart phones, non-smart phones immediately entered the cold winter period, mobile phone sales plummeted, and now these non-smart phones in the world are far from knowing, but in China, they have begun to cut prices frantically, wanting to seize the market from smart phones. But everyone knows that as soon as smartphones come out, the fate of non-smartphones will only get worse and worse, which is a historical trend that cannot be stopped by one or two companies.

But there is an advantage in this way, that is, the people earn, people who couldn't afford to buy a mobile phone before, now they can't afford to buy a smart phone, or they are reluctant to buy it, but they can buy a non-smart phone, at least with a mobile phone, communication is convenient, and it also keeps up with the trend of the times a little.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't stay in Yuanfang Technology for long, he turned his head and came to the Yuanfang game.

Because there is a very important thing that he needs to take charge of personally, and that is that World of Warcraft is about to go live.

After three years of development, because of Zhou Fangyuan's existence, the development of Warcraft has not gone the wrong way, and even the follow-up plot has been arranged, and Blizzard will not easily eat books.

Like a brain-dead roar, he once personally deposed King Kromgar at Stonetalon Mountain during the Cataclysm, on the grounds that Kromgar was an executioner and killed innocents indiscriminately. But by the time the Panda Man mystery version was reached, the brain-dead roar itself turned black. Although there may be a bad influence in this, the development of the plot still makes the player feel abrupt. Therefore, under Zhou Fangyuan's reminder, a hero like this will vaguely show some shortcomings in his character earlier. It's like saying that the brain is dead, and it is completely possible to "quietly" mutter a few words after the removal of Kromga.

Those who don't look carefully may not notice it, but those who observe the plot carefully can find some clues from it. For example, he showed that he didn't want to execute Kromga, but was forced to have helplessness and other similar emotions to pave the way for future development.

In short, it is such a small means to round back as much as possible the more criticized plot problems of Warcraft in the later period.

There are also some other problems, such as the crackdown on bugs, the crackdown on the studio, and the speed at which player stats can be improved...... Wait, wait, if you want to extend the life of Warcraft, there are too many places that need to move the knife, Zhou Fangyuan is not a professional, he can only make suggestions and let Mike and the Warcraft development team figure it out by themselves.

Now that Warcraft has been successfully developed and the closed beta has ended, it is now a month-long open beta. The charging model has been decided, and at Zhou Fangyuan's request, Warcraft has adopted a parallel strategy of point cards and monthly cards all over the world.

The price of the point card has not changed, and the new monthly card is 75, which can be played at will for a month, and there is no continued launch of season cards and semi-annual cards, because it is not necessary.

In short, everything is ready only to the east wind, Zhou Fangyuan came to the company early, waiting for the time for the game to be launched.

They set the launch time of the game to start the public beta on the afternoon of May 20th, and plan to start charging for it in full after the college entrance examination. Compared with the original time and space, the public beta time is shorter, but it doesn't matter, it's fun or not, you can see it in such a month, and Zhou Fangyuan is still very confident in this.
