Xiaoqiang is a graduate of Shenzhen University majoring in computer science, and it stands to reason that with his diploma, there is no problem in finding a decent job in Shenzhen.

However, since he was a child, he has always loved tossing, and during college, he used his super hands-on ability to pick up a lot of people in Huaqiangbei and earned the first pot of gold in his life.

However, in a sense, the greater gain is that Xiaoqiang has seen the super adaptability and profitability of Huaqiangbei cottage workshop.

In the north of Huaqiang, there are hundreds of various accessories stalls, where the world's top 500 companies set up points, and there are also products sold by a black workshop of two or three people.

As soon as Xiaoqiang graduated from university, he gave up the opportunity to go to Warwick, rented a booth in Huaqiangbei, and began to toss electronic products.

Huaqiangbei's classic "day" starts in the afternoon.

Xiaoqiang, like many other little guys, pulled an iron trailer. The four wheels of the iron trailer grinded across the concrete floor, dang, dang, dang, dang, gradually waking up the white sun of Huaqiangbei.

The sound of tearing tape in the mall gradually sounded, and electronic products or components worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, were sealed into brown cardboard boxes and built on trailers to more than half a person's height.

These ubiquitous iron trailers weave through pedestrian streets, creating a fluid network of capillaries between warehouses, shopping malls, parking lots, offices in residential buildings, and co-located shops.

In 1998, Huaqiangbei transformed from a factory area to a commercial street, and the sales of electronic products were a little spark at first, and soon became a burning fire.

At that time, the three major operators of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom had not yet been born, no one had used Taobao, and physical stores had not yet been suppressed by online sales.

Huaqiangbei is famous for the Chaoshan boss behind the one-meter counter, many people have become big bosses worth tens of millions, and some people have turned themselves into billionaires.

In fact, Huaqiangbei was mainly engaged in the electronic parts business at the beginning, but the sudden rise of the mobile phone market has dominated the limelight, and Huaqiangbei's mobile phone sales have shocked the country and even the world.

Countless domestic or copycat mobile phone brands were born here, and an electronic army known as "dominating the country" in technology has risen.

Xiaoqiang's small workshop is also a member of the army of copycat mobile phones.

However, because he entered later than others, he didn't make much money in the first two years.

Because at the end of the nineties, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the myth of a billionaire out of the one-meter counter continued to be staged.

This has led to a rise in the rent of Huaqiangbei, a shop needs to be rented to 20,000 or 30,000, and the transfer of the shop needs to spend hundreds of thousands or millions to "drink tea".

Although it is not so exaggerated now, it is difficult to lower the rent when it rises, and it is not as easy as before to make a lot of money if the business is not good.

However, since the release of Gphone on Guanghui mobile phone last year, Xiaoqiang keenly felt its future, and quickly shifted the focus of his workshop with only nine people to the copycat Gphone.

Due to policy restrictions, the version of Gphone sold in mainland China does not support I-Fi, and the supply is very tight.

After Xiaoqiang quickly launched the I-Fi-enabled copycat Gphone at the beginning of this year, it was quickly welcomed by vendors from all walks of life at a price of less than 1,500 yuan with the highest configuration.

In just half a year, Xiaoqiang has earned more money than all the previous times combined, and much more.

"A-Ning, you guys have worked hard this month, work overtime, let's study Gpad well, and strive to launch our own products in October," Xiaoqiang said to A-Ning, the core backbone of his workshop.

"No problem, but we may have to entrust other factories to help with the mobile phone business we have at hand for a while," Aning said.

Huaqiangbei has specialized technical personnel to do mobile phone refurbishment, mobile phone assembly, mobile phone design, and there are many businesses that can process it themselves, and every counter and the surrounding industrial chain is a window, followed by the electronic processing factories that support them, all over the Shenzhen market.

In Huaqiangbei, you are likely to find any quirky electronics, such as a large white toy with a built-in charging light, a USB flash drive in the shape of a matryoshka doll, or an electric unicycle with a Bluetooth speaker.

Gamers can also find a variety of assistive devices such as LED keyboards, graphics cards, and high-end gaming mice.

So A-Ning is also very confident.

"Thanks to the blessing of Guanghui mobile phone, we have finally made a comeback this year, and I will not treat everyone badly when the time comes. Guanghui mobile phone is our lucky star, and we will specialize in their products in the future," Xiaoqiang said.

"Well, Guanghui mobile phone has Jiang Hui, the product is indeed unique, last year's Gphone is a subversion of the entire mobile phone industry, this year's Gpad is eye-catching, really amazing", A-Ning said.

"Since we made a lot of money by making Gphone imitation machines, there are now at least a dozen companies in Huaqiangbei producing similar products, and it is estimated that there will be a new round of price war in the future," Xiaoqiang said.

In fact, those copycat factories in Huaqiangbei are sometimes quite interesting, they may not directly copy other people's mobile phones, but will combine market demand for micro-innovation.

For example, copycat manufacturers know that there is no value in replicating a Motorola phone exactly, so they will put parts of the phone in a Mickey Mouse box.

In doing so, they create a product that is not available on the market, but that people like.

Later generations of dual-SIM dual-standby mobile phones, three-SIM three-standby mobile phones...... At the beginning, it was all created from Huaqiangbei.

"It's true, but we were the first to make the Gphone imitation machine, and we already have some reputation, so the impact in a short period of time should not be so big, and when our Gpad imitation machine comes out, we don't have to worry about the impact when we walk on two legs," A-Ning said.

"Tomorrow Gpad will be launched in the United States, and I don't know if it is liked by consumers, I see that some people on the Internet say that Gpad is a large Gphone, and no one will like it", Xiaoqiang said a little tangled.

Although Xiaoqiang has decided to develop a replica of the Gpad with his trust in the Guanghui mobile phone, it would be false to say that he is not worried at all after seeing those comments on the Internet.

The smaller the company, the more afraid it is of the failure of the product it develops, the lower the ability to tolerate risk.

"It shouldn't be, the marketing department of Guanghui mobile phone must have done a full investigation, otherwise their investment will be wasted, Guanghui mobile phone is not like a small workshop like us, and the investment must be in 100 million yuan", A Ning said.

"That's right, no matter how much, anyway, I've decided, and I'll follow the pace of Guanghui mobile phone in the future, I believe that with Jiang Hui's vision, even if a product fails, the follow-up will be successful", Xiaoqiang said.

"Well, then I'll go and plan the Gpad thing."
