Chapter 0282: Chaos

Previous Chapter

N1 achieved unprecedented success, and Li Chenwan was slapped in the face, became a clown, and fled the press conference in disgrace.

The press conference of N1 attracted the attention of all media around the world. That evening, the N1 was reported and praised in major media outlets around the world. All the media unanimously believe that the N1 is the second mobile phone to create the future after the iPhone 4, which will cause a major reshuffle and drastic changes in the mobile phone industry.

And the price of $1199, $1299, $1399 was also far lower than expected, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All major authoritative organizations have evaluated and analyzed the N1, and believe that the N1 is far better than Apple's newly released mobile phone iPhone 6 in any aspect, and is currently the best smartphone in the world. Only some media outlets that have been bought by Samsung and Apple have sourly published some unfounded speculations that the N1 is so powerful and that the system mostly uses a super virtual mechanism, which must be lacking in heat and stability.

Many media agreed that the only thing to worry about is whether the N1's advanced production capacity of various accessories can keep up with the demand.

Although Nokia has declined, its channels are still intact. Therefore, relying on the original channel, the N1 was launched in 36 major countries around the world at the same time after a short period of warm-up.

Sure enough, as soon as the N1 was launched, it caused a frenzy of panic buying, and all the 36 countries that debuted were sold out in the first time. In just one day, the first batch of 3 million N1s for the first time was sold.

Especially in Huaxia, although the price of N1 is already very high, and millions of units are stocked in the No. 2 store and the three stores of Cat Jinggou, but in front of countless consumers who have feelings for Nokia, this million units is really not enough, and it was sold out in just a dozen seconds.

And some scalpers also saw the opportunity and used various means to hoard and resell at a high price.

But even if they raise the price by a glass, they still can't stop the enthusiastic local tyrants.

Regardless of the high price, they chose to buy N1 from scalpers, which also pushed the price of N1 to more than 20,000 RMB, becoming an out-and-out tyrant.

Many celebrities and big names who are keen on technology have also replaced their mobile phones with N1 for the first time.

After use, these first batch of people who bought N1 are very satisfied with all aspects of N1, which also makes N1's reputation burst, and triggers subsequent rush purchases.

Lin Ye had foreseen this, so he had already signed large-scale order contracts with many upstream suppliers. The cooperative relationship with Intel is also a project that has been guaranteed by Microsoft's matchmaking layer by layer, and has been highly valued by Intel, which has long wanted to enter the field of mobile phone chip foundry, and is not worried about Yinglong's insufficient production capacity.

It is the second batch of production, and it has already been carried out in an orderly manner. The OEM assembly factory Foxconn has already set aside a large factory to carry out overtime production, and is continuing to ship, with tens of millions of units shipped in just half a month, surpassing the shipment record of Samsung's flagship.

Moreover, the hot sales of N1 have caused the sales of Samsung note4 to plummet, and it has not even reached half of the sales of note3, which has also caused the stock price of Samsung Electronics to plummet, causing a huge blow.

However, the powerful N1 also made the two alliances of Apple and Samsung, which are tacitly controlled by the mobile terminal, feel a great threat. The water armies of the two sides were very tacit, and began to smear and attack Nokia and N1 on the Internet.

The senior management of the two sides also began an urgent meeting to discuss the application of more and more powerful functional technologies to the new design. At the same time, the two companies took advantage of their strong strength in the industrial chain, as well as related manufacturers and channels in the major mobile phone industry, and began to force them to delay, or even provide metacomponents to Nokia.

For a time, many suppliers were forced to delay the supply, and even some companies that indirectly accepted Samsung Apple's holding directly paid high liquidated damages to tear up the supply contract.

Samsung, in particular, has blatantly cut off the supply of memory chips to all companies that provide memory for the N1, relying on its monopoly position in the production of memory chips, resulting in the inability of these companies to continue to provide large quantities of memory to Nokia.

After all, the minimum memory configuration of each N1 is 4GB, and the demand for memory is very strong.

Seeing that the N1 was about to crack down on the 'difficult birth' due to dimensionality reduction, Nokia CEO Andre went all over the place, constantly coordinating with major suppliers, and finally mobilized millions of N1 accessories, which is really a drop in the bucket compared to the strong demand.

But Lin Ye is not worried about this problem at all, in fact, a period of shortage is not all bad. On the one hand, slow shipments can cause starvation marketing, causing consumers to rush to buy and continue to increase the popularity of N1. Moreover, in terms of publicity, Lin Ye also invested a lot of money, and broke the news to consumers through the media about the reason for the slow shipment of N1, so that consumers would be less disgusted with Nokia's forced 'hunger marketing', and instead disgusted with the domineering of Samsung and Apple. The small scale of shipments can improve their vanity in using unique mobile phones, making the local tyrants who bought the N1 at a high price more satisfied. What's more, because of the scarcity, some users who have N1 are actually using it, and after experiencing the power and convenience of N1, they will inevitably spontaneously carry out show-off publicity on major social platforms, which will also enhance everyone's sense of expectation and desire for N1.

On the other hand, the current N1 components are in fact extremely costly. The profit per N1 is much lower than that of Apple and Samsung's flagship phones. If you count the CPU and core intelligent audio chip, Lin Ye designed it without spending money, and N1 was even sold at a loss. Delaying shipments and reducing the price of components can also maintain profits. Anyway, within a year, Samsung and Apple will not be able to develop a phone that is stronger than the N1.

Although Lin Ye was not in a hurry, Nokia had to delay its cooperation with Intel and Microsoft. It was originally expected that Intel's orders for Yinglong chips produced by OEM in the short term would be greatly reduced, and the cooperation with Intel in the joint research and development of Yinglong II would be slowed down, and the strategic cooperation agreement with Microsoft for joint in-depth development of AI systems had to be postponed.

This can make the two intel alliances that want to enter the mobile terminal from the desktop through the AI system and the Yinglong chip explode. For Intel, who finally had the opportunity to show their skills on the mobile terminal, seeing the N1 fire, they were about to break the ice and enter the mobile field, but they were suddenly interrupted by Samsung Apple's neck, so how can they endure it?

It was Intel who was very dissatisfied and used various means to carry out an all-round attack on the monopolistic behavior of Samsung and Apple.

The two sides formed their own alliances and engaged in administrative and channel battles, as well as various network battles.

The electronic technology industry was filled with gunsmoke and chaos for a while.

And Lin Ye, who was the culprit of all this, hung up as if it was none of his business, and Shi Shiran returned to the CD. At this time, CD's graphene high-tech park has already started construction and is in full swing of construction.
