Chapter 135 received rave reviews
Although Lu Yang had already expressed his attitude, Lei Jun still did not agree on the spot. He was also hesitating between starting a business and joining Tianxin Intelligent Electronics.
"Mr. Lu, I need time to think about it." As he left the teahouse, Lei Jun said.
Lu Yang didn't force it, he did appreciate Lei Jun, but this didn't mean that Tianxin Intelligent Electronics had to be him. Of course, if possible, Lu Yang or Lei Jun can join. He feels that this person has a good grasp of the smart electronics market, and many ideas coincide with him, and he may become a good helper for himself.
"It's nature." Lu Yang said with a smile, "Tianxin Technology will settle in our new headquarters, Tianxin Building, on July 16. I hereby extend an invitation to Mr. Lei, and if you have time, please come and attend the opening ceremony of Tianxin Building. ”
Lei Jun said: "Mr. Lu is warmly invited, I naturally have no reason to refuse, on July 16th, I will definitely be on time." ”
After sending Lei Jun away, Lu Yang did not interview anyone else. Although Lei Jun did not agree on the spot, Lu Yang had a feeling in his heart that the other party would agree in the end.
Time passed quietly, "Starry Sky 1" officially landed in Europe, and the first batch of 300,000 "Starry Sky 1" began to be sold in London, Berlin, Paris and other cities.
The lawsuit with Apple has given Tianxin Technology a lot of popularity in Europe, although until now, "Star 1" has not been able to be sold in the United States, but in Europe, "Star 1" has benefited. On its first day of release, the Star 1 sold 20,000 units in five European countries. When Su Yan excitedly sent the news back, Tianxin Technology was jubilant.
Lu Yang is naturally very happy in his heart, Tianxin Technology has encountered too many problems during this time, and finally has good news to lift everyone's spirits.
The company's publicity department put the news in the Tianxin community and reported in detail on Tianxin Technology's trip to Europe. If the previous successful influence in the Japanese and Korean markets was not enough, then this big sale in five European countries has completely made "Star 1" famous all over the world. Major newspapers such as "The Times", "Le Monde", and "European Times" all praised "Starry Sky 1", and "Mirror" even turned "Starry Sky 1" into a surprise from the East, which shows that "Starry Sky 1" has conquered European users.
Of course, public opinion is not one-sided appreciation, and the British Sky TV seized Apple's lawsuit against "Starry Sky 1" for infringement and reported repeatedly, almost saying that "Starry Sky 1" is a product of Huaxia copycat iPhone. These reports misled many consumers and caused a lot of trouble for Tianxin Technology.
The next day, sales of "Starry Sky 1" rose sharply, reaching 25,000 units. A week later, the "Star 1" was launched in major European countries, with a total sales of 200,000 units, far exceeding the watch in the Japanese and Korean markets. This time, even those TV stations that smeared "Starry Sky 1" had nothing to say.
"Star 1" has completely gained a foothold in Europe, and many European consumers who have used "Star 1" have become fans of Tianxin Technology.
"Better than an iPhone, that's a real smartphone!" This is a review after many people have used "Starry Sky 1".
"The system is more stable, the operation is smoother, and most importantly, the battery is stronger, so I finally don't have to worry about charging my phone anymore." A well-known commentator in Europe commented on his Weibo. This comment was echoed by many.
Similar to the Chinese market, "Star 1" has accumulated a good reputation, and the sales momentum has slowly exploded, and in the second week, the sales of "Star 1" reached a new high, reaching 240,000 units; In the third week, it reached 300,000 units, and in the fourth week, it fell slightly, and there were also 270,000 units.
No one expected that "Star 1" would sell more than one million in the first month of Europe!
"If Apple's iPhone has made everyone re-acquaint themselves with smartphones, then 'Starry Sky 1' has opened a new era of smartphones!"
The German newspaper "Bild" commented after comparing the numbers of the iPhone and the "Starry Sky 1". The comment corrected the name of "Starry Sky 1", "It is ridiculous to say that 'Starry Sky 1' copied Apple's iPhone, if it is not for ulterior motives, anyone can see that the former surpasses the latter by a whole generation!" Perhaps, Apple's next-generation iPhone will be able to reach the performance level of 'Starry Sky 1', but who can guarantee that Tianxin Technology, a Chinese company, will not have a better product? ”
Bild did not speak for Trust, nor for Apple, but it made convincing comments from an objective and neutral point of view.
Sky TV has been singing about the decline since "Star 1" landed in Europe, but it gave them a resounding slap in the face, however, this famous European TV station still did not give up, and soon changed an angle to attack Tianxin Technology.
"Huaxia's development is too fast!" On a recent Sky TV show, a special guest excitedly said, "We should be vigilant, they are here to steal our market and jobs!" A few years ago, Huaxia exported some textiles and daily necessities to Europe, and they closed many of our factories at low prices. Now, Huaxia's electronic products are actually popular in Europe. If we don't limit it, there will be more unemployed people in Europe in the future......"
Of course, this sensationalist statement does not do much for many sane Europeans, at least it does not stop the growing reputation of "Star 1". In view of the progress of the European market, Su Yan decided to expand the sales network of Tianxin Technology to more cities, and at the same time, she is also negotiating with other distributors. According to Su Yan's optimistic expectations, the sales of "Star 1" in Europe by the end of the year are expected to reach 8 million units!
Lu Yang approved Su Yan's plan, and secretly calculated that since the launch of "Star 1" in August 08, the sales volume of mainland China has been nearly 11 million, the Hong Kong and Macao markets have been more than 3 million, and the Japanese and South Korean markets have been more than 4 million, plus the development of the European market, in less than a year, the total global sales of "Star 1" have reached 18 million! Considering that the Japanese and South Korean markets are only more than three months, and the European market is only one month, such achievements can no longer be described as amazing.
In the eyes of the outside world, if the "Star 1" can enter the international market like the iPhone 3G from the beginning, with its excellent performance, the sales of the "Star 1" can reach at least 30 million units, which is enough to pose a threat to Apple's iPhone 3G, which has sold more than 30 million units a year and has become the smartphone sales champion in many countries and regions.
In Huaxia, Tianxin Technology has reached cooperation with major 3G operators in Huaxia. According to the feedback of the linkage company, under the attraction of "Star 1", the users of the linkage company for more than a month increased by 15% year-on-year, and at the same time, the sales of "Star 1" in China also benefited from the promotion of the linkage company, which increased slightly, and the sales volume reached 900,000 units in June.
The two companies have tasted the sweetness of cooperation and are ready to increase their promotion efforts, and it is expected that "Star 1" will usher in a new round of growth in China.
In the Hong Kong and Macau markets, the watch of "Starry Sky 1" is still dominant, but considering the limited potential of the two markets, it is perfect for "Starry Sky 1" to achieve sales of 5 million before the year.
As for the Japanese and South Korean markets, since the popularity of "Star 1" in Europe and the United States has increased significantly, the sales of "Star 1" in Japan have been rising, reaching 800,000 units in May and more than 1 million in June, and it is expected that Japan will become the largest market for "Star 1" outside of China. As for South Korea, the sales of "Starry Sky 1" have not improved, and with the launch of Samsung Electronics' smartphones, the promotion of "Starry Sky 1" has been greatly hindered. Samsung's smartphones easily surpassed the "Star 1" to become the smartphone sales champion in South Korea.
In the United States, the lawsuit between Tensen Technology and Apple continues, and for more than a month, in the California District Court, Tensense Technology's lawyers and Apple's representatives have held three arguments, but the court still cannot make a verdict. Qi Dong, who is in charge of this matter, estimates that according to the current progress, this lawsuit may drag on for two to three months.
