Chapter 323: The Counterattack Begins! [1st Update]

Spark Company.

Everyone in the studio is enjoying lunch, Zhang Fan is sitting in the office holding the "S1plus Hardware Compatibility Number jΓΉ Report" carefully flipping through it, Zhou Yang, Gao Ting and others are testing the plus version of the engineering machine on the side.

Since the "plus plan" was set on the 9th, the company's software and hardware division of labor cooperated, and the hardware department developed 6 S1plus engineering prototypes in less than a week.

These six versions of the engineering machine are basically the same in appearance and main hardware as the S1. The only difference is the built-in battery and memory chip.

The No. 1 and No. 2 units are equipped with Toshiba 16G/32G memory chips and Hitachi batteries.

The No. 3-No. 4 engineering machine uses South Korea's SK hynix 16G/32G memory chip and is equipped with Samsung batteries.

No. 5-6 use the memory chip and battery solutions provided by Sandisk and 'Modu Shengneng Technology' from the United States.

These six companies are all leaders in the current chip and battery supply chain market. Among them, Hynix is an old supplier of Dabai mobile phones, and the 8G memory chip of the S1 is provided by this South Korean company.

This time, I heard that Xinghuo was going to select the supply chain for the new machine, and Hynix specially sent a Huaxia manager and engineering team to help solve the technical problems.

After 5 days of testing:

Group 1 and No. 2 engineering machines are the most stable in all aspects, and the battery charging speed and standby are very good, and they are perfect in all aspects. However, in terms of 'mobile app launch speed', it is a little slower than that of phone 3 and 4.

The memory chips of groups 3 and 4 are very good, but Samsung's battery is not stable, but the advantage is that Samsung has a number of factories in China. The delivery is fast and stable.

As for the No. 5 and No. 6 groups, they also have their own advantages. The battery stability and charging speed provided by Modusheng are a little higher than that of Samsung's samples. And the price is 20% lower than Samsung.

But these are the numbers on paper. In actual experience, there is not much difference between the three groups of products.

……

"Hynix's 16G chip is good, does their company still have spare capacity?" Zhang Fan put down the report and asked.

"No problem." Li Jianguo said: "They have two production bases in China, and they can arrange special lines for fast supply. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded and said: "How is the reputation of the Modu Shengneng battery market?" Looking at the number of samples, jΓΉ is quite good. ”

"Shengneng Technology is the largest battery manufacturer in China, with a good reputation, and many technologies are independently developed ......," Li Jianguo said.

Zhou Yang interjected: "I seem to have read a news article recently, which seems to say that Singapore's 'Xindian' is planning to acquire 'Shengneng', right?" ”

"There's such a thing." A purchasing supervisor said: "When I went to get samples, their manager talked about it, saying that the two companies have already negotiated and are ready to expand the production base next year......

Hearing this, Zhang Fan's figure flashed in his mind. said: "The hardware department will decide the hardware problem, but this time we have to learn a lesson, we can't choose the same manufacturer to supply." ”

"For example, we can use the solutions of Hynix and Shengneng for the 16G version, and Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony solutions for the 32G version......"

"If there is a problem in the supply chain of the 32G version, we still have the 16G version that will not cause supply disruptions. In addition, after you have determined the plan, use more jΓΉ to simulate the various usage habits of users, and we will set the supplier on the 20th. ”

"Uh-huh......" Li Jianguo and other hardware team members nodded one after another.

As everyone spoke, they saw Qian Yutang, the person in charge of the sparrow, walking into the office quickly with a copy of the 'monitoring number'. When he entered the house, his face was full of red light, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"Boss, you're so clever! Penguin has just released a piece of news about our S2. The title is "Suspected S2 Frontal Spy Photo Exposed"...... We also found teams hyping S2! I think this is most likely a 'second phase' attack by the other side. ”

"Oh? When is the news released? Zhang Fan and everyone lit up at the same time!

Qian Yutang distributed the 'background monitoring number jΓΉ' in his hand to Zhang Fan, Zhou Yang and others, and said with a smile: "The news appeared at 9:13 at the earliest. It was a 'zombie trumpet' release. There are about seven or eight thousand followers on the account......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚ Then between 9:30 and 11:00, some tubas began to relay the message. At present, it has spread in a small area, with a total of nearly 3 million views and more than 10,000 retweets and comments......"

"Then at 12:07, Penguin used its portal to publish a similar news, which was very conspicuous below the headlines!"

……

"That's right!" Zhou Yang clapped his hands and said: "It should be the second wave of hype of Penguin Millet, haha...... The boss really guessed right, they really can't hold on! Very good! ”

"These two are really vicious!" Feng Hong sneered: "Speculate on the disruption of our supply chain and accelerate the emptying of our inventory." Now hype S2, I'm afraid the purpose is to consume our S2's 'product attention' next year in advance! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚ At that time, the S1 was out of stock, and consumers could not see the S2 real machine, and there would definitely be a wave of 'resentment' on our brand. All sorts of negative reviews will appear. What the other party hype, what consumers believe. ”

Kong Fei smiled: "But this time they are too smart!" They are hyping S2 right now, which just gives us a great opportunity to play S1plus. I think we can help them hype S2 together, and the fire is almost the same, and we will tell consumers as an official that 'in fact, the new product is not S2, but S1plus'! ”

"In this way, all of their previous operations were used by us! Later, they simply couldn't hype it up. S1 sales must have fallen quickly, and with the cooperation of several of our platforms, the whole situation is back under our control! ”

"Boss, am I right?"

As he spoke, the assistant Kong Fei looked at Zhang Fan with admiration, and the supervisors around Li Jianguo, Feng Hong, Gao Ting and others were also bright-eyed.

"Quite right."

Zhang Fan looked at the number in his hand and smiled: "This is the best result that Mr. Zhou and I expected." Now that they've stirred up, let's add some 'seasoning' to him! ”

Li Li asked: "What 'ingredients' are you adding now?" ”

"Of course you have to add it." Zhang Fan glanced at her and smiled: "The so-called 'S2 frontal spy photo' they got is just a trick to take a picture of the front of S1 with a low-pixel mobile phone." It makes the photo look like it's really that. ”

"But it's just right. This diagram can be used by us. It can later be interpreted as 'spy photos of S1plus'. As for the ingredients, of course, it is to announce a little bit about our 'S1plus' number jΓΉ. For example, 'using 16G/32G memory chips'......"

"With these 'ingredients', the fried vegetables are fragrant enough, and they can maximize the help of Penguin Millet to ...... the second stage."

"At about the same time, we will reveal what the new product is and announce the 'S1plus upgrade plan'."

"With the 'ingredients' we put before, consumers will suddenly realize when they see it, 'Oh, it turns out that the S2 that was exposed before is S1plus. The memory has been doubled. No price increase, buy buy, buy! ’”

"Hahaha......" The words fell and there was laughter in the office, and the gloom of the past few days has been swept away!

Gao Tingting smiled: "I found that what Teacher Li Yue said is right. Zhang Fan's mind is in the Three Kingdoms, a proper Zhuge Liang ......"

"Then why should I be Zhou Yu? It just so happens that we all have the surname Zhou. Zhou Yu joked.

"You?" Dong Xin smiled and said, "I think Adou is very suitable for you!" ”

"What's wrong with Adou?" Zhou Yang said: "Adou and Zhuge Liang are the first combination in the world, without Adou delegating power, Zhuge Liang has so many political achievements?" If it were to be replaced by other emperors, they might not dare to use Lao Zhu. ”

……

As they spoke, a group of people changed the topic and talked about the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhang Fan turned his head and called Gao Le of the marketing department on the side, and said: "Later, you can contact the 'Little Bird Information' on the Sparrow Network, and tell them the information of the S1plus memory chip, and when you say it, you will say that it is the number of S2 jΓΉ......."

"Then contact the marketing company and ask them to pay attention to the 'Little Bird News' action ...... when the 'Little Bird' will push this news. When do they help operate. Just push the news to the sparrow information list. ”

"Okay boss." Gao Le nodded and walked out of the office.

The first reason why Zhang Fan assigned the 'S1plus memory chip information' to Little Bird Information is that he wants to take care of this group of college student entrepreneurs.

Soon after the establishment of Xiaoniao Information, Zhang Fan began to pay attention. I have also witnessed the development of 'Little Birds' and appreciate their fighting spirit.

Although this 'plus information' is just a simple number of memory chips, it is much more accurate than the so-called 'spy photos' hyped by Penguin and Xiaomi.

With the operation of the follow-up marketing company, it is easy to become the hot news of today or tomorrow. The brand IP and fan attention of Little Bird Information will also rise.

The second reason is that Little Bird's unorthodox information website, the company is on Sparrow.com, and it is not easy to be suspected and investigated by others after publishing this news. Zhang Fan's side is also easy to check the information dissemination through the guΓ² website.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Pengcheng Communication College, Lin Keke's dormitory.

At this time, Lin Keke, Yang Wenya and other 'Little Bird Studio' partners were enjoying snacks and snacks, browsing news and information at home and abroad.

Lin Keke ate potato chips and said: "I will get this funny video of the 'turtle net' down in a while, and go back and ask Arwen to add letters ......to them."

"Hmm." Yang Wenya bit the tip of the pen and said: "But we can't always use other people's video news." You say, should we contact the foreign students in the fan base and make a "Strange Life of Foreigners" album together, which will be updated continuously? ”

"That's pretty good."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and at this time, the official account received an email push, Lin Keke was stunned after clicking on it casually, and then a huge surprise came to his heart and the corners of his mouth.

"Wen Ya, come and see, someone sent us an email about 'Big White S2'!"

"Prank, huh? S1 hasn't been sold out yet, where did the S...... come from" Saying, Yang Wenya's mind suddenly turned around, staring at the screen and reading carefully.

"Hello, my name is 'Dabai Internal Employee'. A piece of news for you: Dabai S2 will increase the storage space of mobile phones, and the memory chips are 16G and 32G. That's all, no need to reply. ”
