Chapter 495 The low-end market is not interesting at all
Chen Zier still decided to go to the United States as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait to see the new products.
And when they got up from their beds, he told them this.
Shi Yangqing said sourly with the kind of little vinegar of a woman: "As soon as I got out of bed, I thought about going to the United States?"
The 'going to the United States' she refers to is obviously not simply going to the United States.
Chen Zier was helpless.
"I spent almost three years, tens of millions of dollars, and countless days and nights of attention and thought on E-song, just for this success. β
Yes, for hundreds of days and nights, he was just waiting for this moment.
There was no time to explain more details, and when he got the product and put it in front of Shi Yangqing, it was estimated that she would scream.
So he quickly boarded the plane and flew over the Pacific Ocean.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Palo Alto, Silicon Valley.
He came with $15 million, and as long as the product was really perfect enough to be marketed, he wouldn't skimp on the money.
15 million, a lot of money, sold one by one, it does take a little time to earn it back.
But the important thing is that Shengshi opened up this huge market in the field of audio hardware, and most importantly, entered the market before Apple, which gave him more confidence in the competition with Jobs.
This guy is very domineering and not very easy to get along with, which is true, but he is really a genius.
Chen Zier is not a genius, he just opened a small hanging...... Well, it seems that the opening is a little more awesome.
Fadell didn't give the engineers a holiday, and although it was successful, it needed to be tested over and over again.
It can't be left unexpected.
This is Chen Zier's order.
No one dared to challenge this order, and in the current situation of the NASDAQ stock market crash, it is still quite important for them to keep their jobs.
Fadell, Allen, Yang Runling, and Liang Sheng are all in ......
Chen Zier also saw this little thing.
According to his drawings, of course, his level was very rough, and Alan helped him to perfect it.
Fadel was in high spirits, and he held it carefully, "Boss, look, do you want to hear its voice?"
Chen Zier's heartbeat accelerated unusually fastened.
The fuselage is pure white, but it is not that ordinary white, the whole fuselage is the kind of bright, distinct, dazzling, and eye-catching white.
Fadell acted as a docent: "On the white shell, we came up with a good idea to coat it with a layer of clear plastic. β
Chen Zier was very satisfied, he exclaimed, "Really? I didn't even see it." β
Alan explains, "I think this kind of design can bring a sense of depth to the product, which I know a lot of people don't understand, but I think it's very artistic. β
Chen Zier praised: "I like that you chase the ultimate and pay attention to small details. β
Liang Shengjun also had a hard time believing it, "When I first saw it, I thought it was a concept machine. β
"Concept machine?" Yang Runling asked, "Why do you think so?"
Liang Shengjun excitedly: "I didn't expect these engineers to really make it so minimalist. I've used this kind of hardware products, and most of them have screw holes, but this white box doesn't. β
"Not only that, but most tech products have big gaps in the plastic and metal interfaces, but it doesn't, you see, the dividing line is a real line and not a gap," said Fadel proudly. I've got to be honest, boss, I thought you were crazy when you first made this request. β
Several people couldn't help but laugh at his jokes.
Chen Zier stuffed the white headphone jack into his ears, and the song was the more classic "Yesterday Once More", and the gentle and magnetic female voice came from it:
hen-i-as-youngοΌ
i'd-listen-to-the-radioβ¦β¦
β¦β¦
Good!
The sound is clean!
Its essential function is completely fine!
Chen Zier listened for a while, and then asked Liang Shengjun to try it too,
Fadell continued: "Allen gives him the perfect look, but at the same time it's very powerful, and its player has 32MB of RAM, which is much larger than the PDA series of PDAs. β
"What's more critical is that hard drive, 5GB, can store 1,000 songs. In January, the first hard disk MP3, NOMAD Jukebox, was launched, which has 6.4GB of storage......"
"Don't mention that junk product," Alan interrupted, "that shovel shaped like a shovel, bigger than a regular CD Walkman! I can't imagine what idiot designed such an ugly thing!"
Chen Zier laughed at Allen's true temperament, and the innovative company was indeed on the wrong path.
The trend of MP3 players is to get smaller and smaller, one smaller than the other, but this company is doing the opposite, and the weight is also heavyweight.
Damn, I'm here to listen to songs, not to exercise with weights.
"Shengjun. β
"Huh?"
Chen Zier took the thing in his hand and looked at the front and back carefully, and said: "In addition to coordinating with parts suppliers, there is something you also have to do." β
"You say. β
"New product launches. Chen Zier waited for now, and he repeated his order, "Prepare a product press conference for me, and I will personally come to the stage." β
The shooting of the advertisement was also arranged by himself, and for the success of this gadget, he decided to let go of his hand and open the hanging,
Song Hye Kyo's backgammon music mobile phone's advertising BGM, he also wants it.
It's all about being stunning.
"Fadel, it passed all the tests and there were no problems, you should know what I mean, no flaws, right?"
Fadel confidently assured, "I can tell you two things, boss." First, it's flawless, and second, my team can solve any unexpected problems. β
Chen Zier was playing with this little thing, very light and beautiful.
"Runling, I've given you a lovely task. β
Yang Runling is smart, "Do you want to make money?"
Both Fadell and Alan beamed.
"Yes, that's what they deserve. β
When the two old beauties heard this, they applauded each other excitedly.
There's one more question, pricing.
Liang Shengjun said: "This little thing is not cheap, the most expensive parts are Toshiba's hard disk, the cost price is 73 US dollars, there are 20 US dollars for the display module, 8 US dollars for multimedia processing chips, this chip has to be purchased by Broadcom, the controller chip, Fadell's team designed it by itself, and it can be produced for 5 US dollars, and there are other parts, plus labor costs, channel costs, publicity costs, ......."
He doesn't have as much 'artistic temperament' as Allen, and Liang Shengjun pays more attention to physical operations.
"How much are you going to price it?" Liang Shengjun asked as he looked at Chen Zier.
The first generation of the iPod, Old Joe's price was $399, which was ridiculously expensive, but it was still a huge success.
Of the $399 paid by the consumer, Apple received $80, which is about twice as much as the $80 paid by the various parts suppliers, just like her mother grabbed the money.
There is a $4 assembly fee for 'Foxconn'.
Of course, there are other enterprises in the assembly plant at this time.
As a manager, Liang Shengjun discovered this problem, and if he wants to make money, the price is set to exceed $300, which is a bit exaggerated.
Well, that's because he hasn't been baptized by the price of 399 yet.
Chen Zier is not worried, the public will find it difficult to accept at first, but good things should be expensive, don't always think about buying a Rolex for 50 yuan.
"The market I position it in is the high-end market. He thought for a moment, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Recall what I said, Shengshi has to do things that are not so easy to do...... IMHO, the low-end market, full of inferior products, is not interesting at all. β
β¦β¦
Both mentally and physically...... Recently, I have felt the strings getting tighter and tighter. In fact, I know that the worse I write, the worse it gets, and then the worse it gets, the tighter it gets......
I've been writing this book for 9 months, and I haven't had anything that long since I was a child. The college entrance examination may be counted, but it was taken casually with my eyes closed, and I only prepared for the graduate school entrance examination for 5 months, and I didn't know why I was admitted while studying and playing.
