In Zhou Fangyuan's original thoughts, he didn't plan to be able to fire up the market with the Yuanxinger S1 mobile phone, he himself knew that it was unlikely, he only wanted to occupy a pit at first, anyway, let customers know the name of Yuanfang Technology first, leave an initial impression, and it will not be abrupt when doing anything in the future, and customers can more easily accept the products of Yuanfang Technology. At the same time, this is also a kind of technology accumulation, of course, if you just research technology, it is not impossible to build a car behind closed doors, but the question is, since you can sell part of it, why not sell it?

It doesn't matter how much you sell or how little you sell, as long as you can sell it, even if you have some income, it's better than sticking money into it all the time.

In Zhou Fangyuan's original plan, the S1 mobile phone did not need to be sold, as long as it could ensure the funds needed for follow-up research and development, but beyond his imagination, the mobile phone had just been launched, and more than 3,000 units were sold on the first day. Among them, there are 1200 sales provided by Dibao.com, which is the retail part, and the remaining 1800 are sold through various channels. But he can't care, and the rest of the people at Far Tech can't care less.

The three have been with Andy's team for more than half a year, and it can be said that they have watched this mobile phone grow from scratch, if Andy is S1's father, then the three are S1's mother...... In short, because of long-term attention and a lot of hard work, the third brother also attaches great importance to the sales of this mobile phone, and he even personally called various sales outlets to inquire about sales. Most of these sales outlets are mobile phone stores on the street. This kind of mobile phone store sells all kinds of mobile phones, famous brands and miscellaneous brands, all over the country, and it can be regarded as the most important outlet for mobile phone sales - although it is very scattered.

Some mobile phones have entered major shopping malls, some have entered various telecom business halls, and then there are online stores on the Dibao network.

In short, there are no specialty stores, and there will be in the future, but definitely not now. At present, the sales of mobile phones are unclear, and in the field of non-smart phones, the market has basically been divided, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Ericsson and other mobile phones, are the world's major manufacturers, and there are basically only two possibilities for new companies to come out, or to fight a price war, the same level, and a lower price. But the problem is that these large companies currently have branches in the mainland, and the cost itself is already very low, even if Zhou Fangyuan continues to reduce the cost, it is not much cheaper than the other party. In addition, the fame of the two sides is not equal, even if it can be cheaper than the other party, I am afraid that not many customers will choose to buy S1.

The second option is to do a copycat...... THIS WAS DIRECTLY PASSED BY ZHOU FANGYUAN AT THE BEGINNING. He is not short of the money of the copycat machine now, and Yuanfang Technology is going to become bigger and stronger.

It can be said that in the field of non-smart phones, it is basically impossible for Yuanfang Technology to take down those famous brands, at most it is to find a gap among the great powers and survive in the cracks.

This situation means that the sales of mobile phones will definitely not go up, since the sales can not go up, opening a store can only be to find trouble for yourself, so to open a store or something, Zhou Fangyuan is not considered in a short period of time, he would rather pay a certain amount of income to the channel business, borrowing other channels to sell mobile phones. Although the profit will inevitably be lower, as long as there is a return.

That's exactly what he thought at first.

But what he didn't expect was that the sales of mobile phones on the first day were only 3,000 units, and on the second day, the sales number of mobile phones suddenly jumped to 10,000 units, of course, not a single day sales, but total sales. But even so, it means that more than 7,000 units were sold the next day. In the market that Zhou Fangyuan is currently putting on, the offline part is mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and the rest is the sales of the online part.

But that's just the beginning......

The previous week, the sales were quite stable, from the second week, the sales began to reach 10,000 a day, and a month later, there were 20,000 mobile phones in a single day when the sales were at their highest, but when it was about a month and a half, the number of mobile phone sales began to decline again, and the speed of decline was extremely fast, basically waiting for the end of the second month, the sales figure of a single day was only more than 1,000 units.

But even so, the sales of mobile phones in the first two months combined exceeded 500,000 units, a number that made many people lose their eyes.

Just on the treasure network, 200,000 units were sold, and the factory worked in four shifts, unable to catch up with such a sales schedule, so the mobile phones on the treasure network were all pre-sold, and the earliest batch of mobile phones could not be sent out until mid-February.

Zhou Fangyuan's pricing for the mobile phone is fixed, because there are still too few products from Yuanfang Technology, so he didn't come up with too many bells and whistles. At present, there is only one model of the Far TravelerS1,The price given by Zhou Fangyuan is1350element,In this era when mobile phones are generally in the early 1000s,1350Yuan can even be said to be a little expensive。 However, since it is the most advanced mobile phone at the moment, the price is also appropriate. A mobile phone is priced at 1350 yuan, in addition to channel fees and mobile phone costs, a mobile phone can probably have a profit of 700-800, in other words, the price of a mobile phone is 2.5 times the cost.

The S1 does not use a traditional mobile phone structure, so there is no need to pay royalties in this regard. Well, of course, other patent fees are also included, but even then, the profits are huge. Therefore, the sales in the first two months alone have brought nearly 300 million sales to Yuanfang Technology. To be honest, Zhou Fangyuan really didn't think that mobile phones were so profitable before, but now that I look at it, good guy, what's the difference between this and robbing?

With these 300 million, there will be no problem with the follow-up production line and factory, and the R&D cost will also be there. Of course, mobile phone sales have skyrocketed for such a period of time, and Zhou Fangyuan later figured it out, why is the sales of S1 mobile phones so hot? To put it bluntly, it was brought by "Two Days and One Night", because "Two Days and One Night" is currently the most popular annual variety show in China, and several hosts are now jumping up and down, and the ratings have repeatedly reached new highs. In this case, it is not unreasonable for the S1 mobile phone, which is one of the main implants, to become popular.

It's just that the mobile phone is a thing, unlike clothes, not food, not the kind of short-term consumer goods, basically a better quality mobile phone, if the user knows a little bit about maintenance, a mobile phone is still no problem after two or three years. This will inevitably lead to the fact that mobile phone sales cannot really be Changhong, at most it will break out in the short term, and then it will be a long stream. This is also the reason why mobile phone manufacturers continue to launch new models, on the one hand, to ensure their competitiveness, on the other hand, it is also to induce users to buy new mobile phones when the old mobile phone can still be used. After all, there are still rich people, there are always people who don't care about one or two mobile phones, and such users often choose to spend money to buy more mobile phones when they see a new mobile phone.

So the sales of S1,It is understandable that it can guarantee the sales of 1,000 units per day,Like the situation of buying 500,000 units in the first two months,There will be in the future,But I'm afraid it's unlikely in a short time。

Having said that, there are quite a lot of mobile phones in China, as of the end of 01, the number of domestic mobile phones has exceeded 110 million units, what a terrible market this is, if it is not for the fact that distant technology has just entered, the reputation of other brands is too prominent, I am afraid that these 500,000 units can only be regarded as a fraction at most. Well, the sales volume really doesn't matter now, the most important thing is the future.

The research and development of the Android system has entered the most important stage, according to Andy, if everything goes well, you can see a relatively rough Android system at the end of this year, of course, this is a good expectation, after all, no one can guarantee that the system development will be smooth, a little mistake, it is not impossible to delay it for a year or two. Fortunately, with Zhou Fangyuan, he can provide Andy with some finished Android concepts to help Andy and them avoid going down the wrong path. At the same time, there are some good ideas from Apple that will allow Andy to add more content to Android.

As soon as the S1 mobile phone was launched, it not only caused some small sensations among users, but also reported on Yuanfang Technology in the mainstream media in China.

S1 is not the world's first mobile phone and handheld computer combination, but it is the best one at present, and more importantly, this mobile phone is original in China - the company is registered in China, the factory is in China, the company's legal representative is a Chinese, this is a domestic company, although the R & D team is a bunch of crooked nuts, but this does not prevent the media from reporting on it.

The main tech media impurities, as well as some small TV stations, have reported on the S1 phone, and while these reports don't significantly increase S1 sales, it's better than nothing. The most important thing is that Zhou Fangyuan didn't spend a penny to buy news reports, these are completely reported by reporters relying on their own sensitivities, and they can be regarded as promoting S1 and Yuanfang Technology, of course Zhou Fangyuan will be more indifferent, and even he is a little happy in his heart, these media can be regarded as invisibly doing himself a favor, and unconsciously sending the names of Yuanfang Technology and S1 mobile phones to readers.

Of course, that's another story.

Long before S1 sales were booming, Zhou Fangyuan completed the final exam of the first semester of his freshman year, and the final results came out. It's not that he doesn't want to study, it's that he doesn't have time to study, but fortunately, the counselor told him some directions for the exam, so that he has a general review point and won't be confused.

And just when he had just finished the exam, a stream came from abroad, which immediately caused a lot of sensation in China.

""Ghost Shadow" became a hit at the box office, and the director is actually a Chinese!"

"My country's director shoots low-cost supernatural films, which detonates the box office of the country!"

"Domestic movies are popular abroad!"

All kinds of news were in the dust in an instant, Zhou Fangyuan didn't notice it at first, and when he noticed these news, he couldn't help but pause, and took the time to make a phone call to Cameron.

Cameron was making preliminary preparations for Warcraft, and after hearing Zhou Fangyuan's doubts, he immediately laughed on the other side of the phone, and then told Zhou Fangyuan about the movie.

It turned out that not long after Zhou Fangyuan left the United States, Disney completed all the preparations for the release of the movie, and then on January 10, 02, "Ghost Shadow" was released on 600 screens in the United States. Well, 600 screens are really not much, and because this time period is the winter file, good films are gathered, and big factories have shot one after another, so the theaters and screens in good locations are basically divided by these companies, and what is left for "Ghost Shadow" is some marginal areas.

But it is these screens on the edge that have created amazing results.

On the first day of the movie's release, the box office was only a pitiful more than one million, and on average, the income of a screen was only $1,600, which was really a bit low.

But this is only the situation on the first day, and by the second day, the single-day box office has skyrocketed to more than 5 million, and this momentary guarantee immediately made the theater see the possibility of the movie becoming popular. These people who do theaters, they are experienced, and they naturally know what movies can be popular and what movies can't. "Ghost Shadow" has the potential to become popular, but the previous screens have all been carved up, and without a strong reason, the number of screens in other movies cannot be casually reduced. But the box office of "Ghost Shadow" on the second day almost reached five times that of the first day, which is not common in normal times, especially these screens are not the screens in prime locations, they are all relatively remote locations, and there can be such a box office change, and the theater executives immediately realized the potential of this movie.

Not to mention, on the third day, the theater chain directly compressed the screens of other movies that had passed the hot period, and directly moved 1,000 screens to "Ghost", including many theaters with those prime locations.

Through the word of mouth of the audience in the first two days, coupled with the short publicity some time ago, on the third day, the box office in a single day suddenly soared to $22 million, which almost shocked countless people's eyes.

But again, this is just the beginning.

On the fourth day, 1,000 screens were added to the theater chain, and the single-day box office of the movie reached 35 million, surpassing the single-day box office record of 33.51 million for "Harry 1", which previously held the record. On the fifth day, the single-day box office record continued to rise, reaching the level of 38 million. On the sixth day, it dropped slightly, but it remained above 35 million. On the seventh day, the decline was a bit severe, falling below 30 million and returning to the level of 29 million. But even so, the box office of "Ghost" reached the level of $160 million in the first week, which is no longer a hit, this is a super hit, the entire North American film industry is silent, and everyone is frightened by such a super low-budget movie.
