Chapter 724: A Detour
After drinking too much wine last night, Liu Haiyang got up a little late, and when he woke up, he was already on the clock.
Fortunately, the foundation of his body has not been hollowed out, and the alcohol and a small amount of aldehydes have been metabolized almost after a night, so he does not feel any symptoms of brain bloating. But this is also normal, the degree of red wine is originally small, as long as you don't pour too much, it is naturally not easy to get on the head.
However, after drinking so much wine, he naturally accumulated a large amount of wastewater, and when he stood in the bathroom to release water, Liu Haiyang suddenly shouted, "!"
He rarely uses foul language anymore when he tries to be a decent person, and there is a reason why he didn't hold back this time. Of course, it was not that he found that alcohol had damaged the three cavernous bodies he cherished the most, and that he was hopeless for the rest of his life, but that Liu Haiyang only understood the reason why those people rejected him at this time.
In a word, it's all money.
The technology that Tiger is using now is developed by them together, although Bee, as an employer, has paid salaries and bonuses for this, but it is a fact that the group of people who followed Liu Haiyang away have now become executives and enjoy generous dividends, while the part that remains in Bee is a little backward in terms of position and income.
Looking at them now, I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but if they were all invited to join the tigers, there would always be something going on with the obvious disparity in status, rights, and income between them.
Looking at the entertainment industry and business circles, there are not too many celebrities who are friends, husbands and wives, and even masters and apprentices one moment, and the next second because of money, they turn against each other and tear each other apart. Celebrities are like this, ordinary people are actually similar, friends borrow money to become enemies, husbands and wives fly separately, and relatives divide their property before the coffin.
"Hey, in fact, this is also very good, save the future for the founder title and equity distribution conflicts, in the final analysis, my own emotional intelligence is too poor, should not have opened this mouth! ”
Thinking about these clearly, Liu Haiyang's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he made up his mind to thank others for their knowledge of advancing and retreating.
It's just that before that, he was about to take off his pants and take a shower, and he was a little excited just now, and his hands trembled.
When Mr. Liu, who had cleaned up, came to the conference center again, he saw that the hour hand of the huge mechanical watch had gone to 11.
As a new rich man who often opens his mind and has enough resources to realize their new wealth, Atletico often does things that make people laugh and cry. For example, if you are interested in extended-range vehicles, you will spend money to research and manufacture a dark horse gas-wheel extended-range electric vehicle, and you will not feel distressed at all if you spend tens of millions. Another example is that he became interested in watches, and he made one of the world's largest watches himself.
With a case diameter of 1.28 meters and a metal wristband of nearly 4 meters, this special edition Bee mechanical watch designed and hand-built by him alone can make weightlifting champions cry because of the weight of the bracelet alone.
Now the big guy is in the foyer of the convention center, hanging on a stout model giant hand, and has become a famous attraction.
Although any clock tower clock is larger than this watch, the former can only be viewed from a distance of a few floors or even a few kilometers, which is completely different from the feeling of looking at a giant watch up close.
In particular, Atletico Madrid also used a dazzling hollow design on this watch, and when you look through the dial, you can see the various parts inside that are precisely bitten and moving, and an unclear sense of power that belongs to precision machinery arises spontaneously.
In fact, Atletico Madrid's manufacture of this giant watch is not really nonsense, through independent design and manufacturing, the knowledge learned from the previous dismantling and research of dozens of famous watches, has become a qualified watchmaker, although it is difficult to use this craft in this life. At the same time, this watch is also a promotional material for the back cover of the Bee Perspective series of mobile phones, which has contributed to the promotion of them.
These statement back covers are made of transparent materials such as resin, glass, and resin-swapped wood, and you can see the intricate chips and circuits inside, which is full of high-tech beauty.
Although not everyone buys it, it still won the hearts of some users after its launch, after all, the convergence of smartphone appearance is too serious, and the personality party is very resentful of this.
Retracting his gaze from the ticking giant watch, Liu Haiyang walked past the crowd queuing up for a group photo, intending to walk inside. It was nearly noon, and the morning's activities were coming to an end, and he had to rush to meet people. It is not only businessmen and factory owners like Chen Ruichang who have gathered here, but also many powerful wild technology nerds, who have already circled a few people before, and are planning to make more contacts so that they can be co-opted.
However, Mr. Liu's thirst for talent soon stopped, and someone pulled him to do a questionnaire.
Seeing that the other party was a beautiful woman, Brother Haiyang immediately forgot his original purpose, happily followed others to the side, took the survey tablet and began to click. It's not that he suddenly wants something to happen, it's purely that he wants to have more contact with real beauties and gain more popularity, so as not to really fall in love with the doll and make the Liu family ruined.
The questionnaire is about the design of mobile phones, and there are several options listed above to ask him if he is interested, motherboard plus light, thermal color change, bending and folding, and the main screen is translucent. The brain holes are bigger than the other, so that Mr. Liu has the idea that if these people are in his own company, he promises to let them get out of the way with their resignation salary in minutes.
After completing the questionnaire and returning the tablet, he received a souvenir. Not a small note with a beautiful woman's phone number written on it, of course, but a transparent square box with a plastic stick the size of a gum box inside. It has a USB-C port and two 3.5mm headphone jacks at both ends, and there are mic holes on the front, recording and playing up and down buttons, which looks familiar.
Liu Haiyang casually glanced at it and thought it was an MP3 without a screen, and secretly complained in his heart, "I actually sent an old-fashioned MP3, and there is no one who is stingy to this one!"
However, when he turned over the box and saw the piece of paper attached to the bottom, he realized that this product was actually a brand new product: a wired headset Bluetooth connector.
It is used in a much more similar way to MP3, plugging in headphones to play music, recording, and calling, but it does not have a file storage function, and can only be used after connecting to a mobile phone, PC, or other playback devices.
In other words, this thing is actually a wired headset Bluetooth-based device, and it can also be seen as a Bluetooth version of the headphone connection cable.
The higher version of Bluetooth technology has been able to provide enough data bandwidth to ensure that the audio streaming media has a higher bit rate and sound quality, so Bluetooth listening is gradually increasing.
It's just that there are still a few Bluetooth music headphones on the market, and they are generally a bit expensive, especially for big brand products.
There is not only the cost of Bluetooth chips, but also the cost of technical certification. Most of the domestic Bluetooth headsets have not passed the BQB certification of the Bluetooth Alliance, which saves a considerable part of the upfront cost and pushes the price below 100 yuan. However, those big brands that intend to export can't escape certification, and the investment is higher, coupled with the pursuit of sound quality, comfort and brand premium, it is not unusual for the price to sell for hundreds or thousands.
However, even so, for those headphone enthusiasts, no matter how expensive Bluetooth headsets are, they can't escape the sentence "headphones that can't be changed are garbage".
Traditional headphones use analog signals, and the material and resistance of the wires and plugs will affect the signal waveform, which in turn will affect the final sound performance, so audiophiles will replace their headphones with a better and more suitable signal cable according to their own needs and preferences. Although it also costs a lot of money, it is completely worth it for enthusiasts who can hear the hardness of thermal power, heating, hydropower, cooling, and nuclear power.
The audio cable of the Bluetooth headset is very short, and the effect of changing the line is not obvious, so changing the line is more just a joke, after all, there are only a few audiophiles who are really keen on changing the line.
Liu Haiyang thinks that a certain bee team may have been inspired by this joke to make such a nondescript product. As long as it is a wired earphone that supports a 3.5mm plug, it can be turned into a Bluetooth headset when plugged in, and then you can change the cable happily.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a mocking smile, what could have been done for only ten yuan, but they had to use more complex and expensive Bluetooth devices to solve it, it was really a hole in the brain!
Although he knew that bees were rich in brain-hole products and had been openly selling those chicken rib technologies recently, he couldn't help but worry about Atletico Madrid's wallet when he saw such a thing appear in front of him. His subordinates are so able to toss, but they didn't die?
Just do it when you think of it, Liu Haiyang didn't get up to find someone, anyway, there was still time in the future, so he immediately took out his mobile phone to take pictures and send a scarf, and @summoned Atletico Madrid.
The latter's reply came quickly, "It's indeed our new product, and we're looking for someone to cooperate with the test at the conference center, how did I find you?"
Seeing the main protagonist appear, Liu Haiyang immediately took out his chicken rib theory, saying that the problem that can be solved by the conversion line, and getting such a thing again is obviously a waste and brain pumping.
Atletico replied again, this time with two more pictures, one is a photo of the headphones connected to the phone through a conversion cable, and the other is a yoga beauty with the headphones connected to the connector, the "bloated" of the former and the "slim" of the latter are clear at a glance.
After all, he is a graduate of a famous school, Liu Haiyang does not lack anything in intelligence, and understands the meaning of the other party in seconds: the connection line is good, but it looks very cumbersome, and although this connector is larger, it can temporarily throw off the mobile phone, but it looks small and practical.
This reason can still stand, and after flipping the Bluetooth connector in his hand, Liu Haiyang finally replied: "But isn't it too troublesome for you to do this? Isn't it good to make Bluetooth headsets directly? I don't believe you don't have this technology." ”
Atletico quickly replied to him with a wry smile, "We want to, but what can we do if consumers don't buy it?"
In this incident, Liu Haiyang also knew that as the 4G mobile phone with the strongest battery life, the two brothers of Bee mobile phone 5/5mini have been in short supply after the sale. However, with the ramp-up of production capacity and the end of old user replacement, the first wave of purchase peak finally passed, and then Bee Mobile delayed it for a few days as planned to start the bulk purchase.
As a result, while sales resumed growth, the return rate of the two products also increased rapidly, which scared everyone. Because of the important position of the mobile phone department, the news quickly spread within the group, although it was not panicked, but there was porridge in everyone's mouth.
There is a popular post on the BBS Tree Hole Edition, he still remembers, the landlord posted that this may have been a "real DDOS attack", there are hostile forces in organizing people to buy a large number of people, and then return them in batches, hoping to ruin the goodwill of the bees, and the return will affect the secondary sales, and there will be a lot of losses. This conspiracy theory is marketable and attracts a lot of clicks and replies.
Fortunately, the investigation report was released quickly, ruling out this possibility, but it brought mixed results.
The good news is that with the increasing fame of Bee mobile phones, more and more users have taken it as a mobile phone update target, which has further expanded sales. The worry is that these people also brought the original usage habits, which made the bee platform a little chaotic, and the butterfly screen that was not pleasing to the eye was an example.
Although thanks to the efforts of Bee, this particularly power-efficient reflective screen display effect is getting closer and closer to the LCD screen, the differences caused by different mechanisms still exist, and it will take some time for users who are used to seeing LCD and AMO screens to get used to it. However, some users are anxious and unwilling to wait, so they directly use the 7-day refund rule to return and leave, and the bees will never be seen again.
In the end, the solution was discussed, that is, new users need to go to offline outlets to test the machine and get a trial code before they can buy it online. After the implementation of the new policy, online sales immediately fell by more than half, but offline sales are increasing rapidly, and the return rate has quickly fallen back to normal levels, which can be regarded as a thrilling solution to the crisis.
This return incident has a great impact on bees, and the third strengthening of offline channel construction is caused by this. At the same time, this incident also made Bee have a deep understanding of the "pickiness" of users on other platforms, and they no longer dare to "dig into the wall" with great fanfare.
Now, Liu Haiyang understands the intention of the bee, users generally don't ask too much for dozens of low-end headphones, don't throw it every week, but if it is sold to three digits or four digits, there will be a bunch of requirements for sound quality and hearing.
Instead of spending a lot of energy and time to achieve a harmonious production-consumption relationship in the run-in with each other, the bee chose to make a direct detour, not to do the pronunciation unit and the whole machine only to make such a Bluetooth connector.
This way, you don't have to worry about the iron and loop disputes, you don't have to repeatedly adjust the material to match the timbre, and you don't have to worry about the noise of the headphone cable (stethoscope effect).
The only question is whether it can be recognized by consumers, and no one supports it, no matter how good the idea is, it is in vain.
However, Atletico apparently didn't worry too much about this, and he didn't want to ask too much, and the topic quickly turned to what to eat at noon. Speaking of which, what he misses the most after leaving his job is not only the online library of Bee, but also the cafeteria.
