Chapter 96: The Eve of the Sale
On January 10, 1006, the era of innovation, the conference room of Mangyu Hi-Tech.
"During the Spring Festival, most businesses are on holiday, and in the days from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the new year, it is customary to rarely go shopping, basically visiting relatives and friends. And after the Chinese New Year, many people's wallets are almost empty. So I suggest that the release date be set half a month before the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that you can leave enough time for consumption, and this time is also the time when everyone's pockets are the most bulging, after all, the price of our smartphones is relatively high......"
Wu Xuezhou said.
Su Lei immediately agreed: "Mr. Wu said very well, what do you think?"
Ye Huanmeng thought for a while and said: "It can be sold on e-commerce platforms, but now most customers are still not used to shopping online, especially for this kind of high-value things, they prefer to look at the physical goods in the physical store to buy ......"
"Well, the current consumption habits of the public are not very receptive to online transactions, so this can only be a supplement. Our company's official website has completed the update of the order content a few days ago, and it is estimated that a batch of orders can also be received......" Ao Guanhai smiled: "I have got several batches of collective purchase orders, mainly government agencies and large enterprises, and this part of the collective purchase is about 110,000 units." ”
The first batch of mass-produced mobile phones off the assembly line were sent to the agency by the marketing department to do performance appraisal, and then they were delivered non-stop everywhere, so that some people who can speak and the lucky ones randomly selected from the volunteers who signed up online tried it.
"Manager Ao did a good job!" Su Lei said with a smile: "This time our first batch of products is 1.02 million units, but because of the limited production capacity, it will definitely not be done well on the day of the shelves, and it will be completed on the 25th." On January 14, 600,000 Mingyue smartphones and 10,000 Yuanyue smartphones will be launched on the shelves of 567 agreement malls in 215 cities at the same time. ”
Su Lei's smartphones are two, the bright moon sequence is for ordinary people, and the full moon series is also a monk version, which is actually a major revision of the beauty box. Of course, the price of the two mobile phones is different, the retail price of the Bright Moon series is 48.88 summer yuan (wholesale price 43 summer yuan), and the retail price of the full moon series is 588.8 summer yuan (wholesale price 525 summer yuan).
That's right, ten times worse. It can't be helped, extraordinary equipment is so expensive. There is no bargain for any device that can cast spells.
Ao Guanhai said: "Boss, some schools and scientific research institutions have given us similar opinions after the trial, hoping to have some scientific research software and scientific computing software, and they have recommended a few, hoping to convert and transplant them to smartphones." In addition, the army has a contract of intent, but they don't want civilian products, and they ask us to make a smartphone suitable for military use according to their requirements......"
"Those experts want to use mobile phones instead of computers! At present, the configuration of mobile phones cannot support those computing software...... Su Lei thought for a while and said: "You can reply to them like this, we can give them a special customized scientific research version of the mobile phone, but because the configuration is high, we have to add money! Show me the army's requirements......
Ao Guanhai immediately took out a document.
Su Lei took a look at it and found that the military's performance requirements for the mobile phone itself are not very high, but other requirements are high, waterproof, moisture-proof, shockproof is basic, but also has strong anti-interference ability, good stability, not easy to damage, and electromagnetic shielding ability. Strengthen the function of the compass software, which can measure latitude and longitude and altitude in real time, and temperature and humidity measurement is also needed......
Anyway, there are dozens of requirements, and Su Lei's scalp is numb.
I'm just selling mobile phones, not Gundam.
Ao Guanhai said: "What the military representative means is that the first ten items must be done, and the latter is selective, and you don't need to achieve them, but the more you achieve, the better, and the higher the evaluation score......
"Well, okay, let the technical department and the OEM study it together, there may be some things that you don't know too well, you can directly consult the military and professionals......" Su Lei immediately ordered.
As long as the military's list can be done, it will definitely be done. What kind of military product doesn't make the same hair as a pig's head? Not to mention, all kinds of hidden benefits after taking advantage of military relations. Those benefits are difficult to describe in words, and they are also difficult to measure in money, and everyone who understands them understands.
After a few more company transactions, Su Lei went to Spiral Electronic Devices, one of the foundries of smartphones.
This foundry is mainly engaged in the production of the Moonlight series of extraordinary mobile phones. This kind of thing that belongs to the spell-casting equipment is not as easy to mass-produce as ordinary artifacts, and some of the processes of this kind of item must be completed by monks, so there is no way to speed up.
Mu Leting, the boss of Spiral Electronics, was waiting at the gate of the factory, and as soon as he saw Su Lei arrive, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Su is good, Mr. Su is good ......" Mu Leting smiled flatteringly, and the stammering energy looked like a dog wagging its tail at its owner.
Wu Xuezhou, who has always been breezy and calm, looked very unaccustomed to this guy, and turned his head directly with a cold snort.
Su Lei is easy to speak: "Mr. Mu doesn't have to be so polite, whether our products can be delivered on time depends on you......"
"Rest assured, Mr. Su, although rest assured, we have organized sufficient manpower, divided into two shifts and six groups, and each group will rest after working for two hours. The guarantor is down, and ...... non-stop," Mu Leting patted his chest and assured.
This Mu Le Ting himself was just an ordinary person, but he had money and channels, so he hired a group of low-level monks to work for him with a high salary, and opened a factory that could make all kinds of low-level extraordinary equipment. After receiving the order from Mangyu Hi-Tech University, we hurriedly expanded production, and the scale was several times larger than before.
Regarding Mu Leting's stammering attitude, Su Lei felt that it was normal.
What's the problem with being enthusiastic about big customers, even if it's kneeling and licking, it's not a shame to make money.
After entering the workshop, I saw a row of workbenches, and several monks were using lithography machines to inscribe the rune columns.
This is also the reason why the Full Moon series can't get up fast. Although Su Lei had already compressed its extraordinary parts to the extreme before, most of the parts were ordinary and did not involve the extraordinary. But it's still a spellcasting device after all, with rune pillars and the most basic spell circuits.
The rune pillar can only be made by monks, so it can't be as fast as a regular cell phone anyway.
However, fortunately, after Su Lei's improvement, the grade of the rune pillar was pressed to the minimum, and the rune was greatly simplified. As long as it is a monk, it can be done, otherwise Mu Leting would not be able to find so many monks to do odd jobs for a while.
As for Mu Leting, an ordinary person can find a bunch of monks to work, it seems incredible, but it is not uncommon.
"Poor and rich in martial arts, cultivating immortals and breaking the family. This old saying is very reasonable, even in modern times, resources are extremely abundant, and the threshold for cultivation has been lowered a lot. But it can't be said that cultivation is cheap enough for everyone to cultivate immortals.
Monks make money quickly and spend money faster, especially low-level monks, they also have to find ways to make money and use it for their own cultivation, so they can't get cold. As long as the money is enough, working for a mortal is nothing.
The thing that makes money, not chilling.
After looking at it for a while, he said, "Well, I'll help you in the next few days." Try to do as much as possible before going public......"
As for the foundry of the Mingyue series, he had already seen it just now, it was normal, there was nothing to improve. There are three shifts, and ten production lines can assemble 50,000 mobile phones a day. Then more than 20,000 units can be assembled here, so that it is enough to put them on the shelves and distribute them, and then they will be reissued one after another.
It's impossible to sell out all 600,000 units in a day.
"Sister Chen, let's work hard for a few days these days and engrave some rune pillars. Don't worry, I won't let you be busy in vain, I will calculate the bonus......" Su Lei also smiled and pulled Chen Shiyi into the water.
"Okay......" Sister Chen didn't refuse. Anyway, nothing has happened in the past few days, and the institute hasn't broken ground yet.
For the next few days, Su Lei and Chen Shiyi worked as temporary workers in the factory.
Their divine sense far surpassed that of the monks of the same rank, not only did they make rune pillars at a speed far faster than those of the same level, but they also had a much longer continuous sailing power. Other monks work two hours and have to change shifts, but they can work four hours. It's good that someone else can do ten per hour, they can make thirty.
Even the boss has gone down to work in person, and the others are still embarrassed to sit and watch? So in the past few days before the official launch, the entire Manyu Hi-Tech and OEM companies were used by women as men and men as livestock, and they were all busy like dogs.
The time to get busy passed quickly, and it didn't take long to reach January 13th, the day before it hit the shelves. There was a lot of entertainment on this day, and many things needed Su Lei to come forward in person, so he and Chen Mei didn't go to work as temporary workers that day.
When sorting out and counting the products, Wu Xuezhou looked at the two boxes of rune pillars that were specially picked out, and said with a smile: "There are 999 rune pillars that come from the boss's hands, and Miss Music Director personally makes 888 of them...... The phones that use these pillars are all specially numbered, so let's see who has the luck. ”
Ao Guanhai said: "That is, the first batch has this kind of luck, why don't you change them to a limited edition core......?"
Wu Xuezhou thought about it, then nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, then go ahead and change them in a limited edition shell......
The limited edition was set before, and compared with the production version, the configuration and materials are better, especially the shells are all high-end materials, but the runes and pillars are the same, because I didn't think about the boss at the time. Now if you change to the rune pillar made by the boss himself, the price will definitely be even different.
Su Lei and Chen Shiyi, who had been running for a day, returned home, and after dinner, Chenmei went to watch the TV news.
Su Lei was instructing the agency to serve food to Xiu Xue when he heard Chen Mei screaming.
"Brother Liang, hurry up and come and see, the prince is helping us bring the goods!"
Su Lei immediately ran over.
