Chapter 994: 100 million orders
Of course, the Meizu generation is not only reflected in his terrifying ability to print money.
In addition to the hot sales of the Meizu generation, the influence of the Meizu generation has begun to change the world.
First and foremost, it's touch.
Touch operation is the essence of the Meizu generation, although the touch operation in this world is not the first invention of Penguin, but there is no doubt that Penguin is the master of touch operation. Before the Meizu generation, many people were not interested in touch operation. They think that touch operation is very inconvenient, even the merchants, after trying to launch several touch operation products, have also given up the research on touch.
However, the emergence of the Meizu generation has made people see the charm of touch.
Countless friends were attracted by this touch operation, and countless friends dreamed that they could touch it.
For them, the temptation of a light swipe of their fingers really makes them irresistible.
In particular, the feeling that you can play a game with a light touch of your finger is incredibly exciting.
Although touch operation has not yet begun to affect the world, it is believed that the future will definitely be the era of touch operation.
Second, the rise of e-books.
E-books have actually appeared for a long time, and e-books existed when electronic products appeared.
It's just that, before that, people didn't pay much attention to e-books. Most people think that e-books are printed on paper books, and e-books are read through electronic devices, so they are a little dazzling and have no feeling of reading. However, after the emergence of the e-book function of the Meizu generation, e-books have sprung up and attracted the attention of countless people.
Many friends who have purchased the Meizu generation often read books through the Meizu generation e-book function.
They believe that the Meizu generation of e-book reading has done everything that paper books can bring them.
For example, the style of paper books, the sound of paper books, and even, even the feeling of flipping through books, the Meizu generation has also done it very realistically.
Affected by this, these friends started from bringing books to read, and gradually stopped bringing books.
Because at this time, as long as you bring a Meizu generation, you can do it.
This is very convenient, at least, the weight of the Meizu generation is much lighter than the weight of the books.
Moreover, the books that the Meizu generation can store are estimated to be impossible to read in a lifetime.
In addition, there are some users who emphasize. After getting used to the Meizu generation e-book function, they began to become fans of the Meizu generation. In the future, they may not buy books in real life, they just buy e-books. Because it's more convenient, just download it online and press it lightly.
The more important reason is that the price of e-books is several times cheaper than the price of paper books.
Compared with each other, the advantages of Meizu's generation of e-books are becoming more and more obvious.
Similarly, the popularity of e-books also has support from environmental protection.
Billions of paper books are printed every year around the world.
And we know that books are made of wood.
In order to make these books that increase our knowledge, I don't know how many tens of thousands of trees are cut down every year.
This is the most serious ecological damage.
But eBooks are different.
An e-book does not require wood to be made, nor does it require other raw materials, and its cost is negligible, except for the author's manuscript fee, of course.
It's a kind of book that doesn't have any pollution and is also extremely environmentally friendly.
If everyone used e-books in the future, it would make a huge contribution to the environment.
Moreover, some environmentalists also predict that paper books will retire from the stage of history, and the future will be the era of e-books.
It's like bamboo slips instead of tortoise shells, and paper books instead of bamboo slips.
Today's e-books will also replace paper books.
This prediction is supported by authoritative data departments.
They commented that because of the super function of Meizu generation e-books, the e-books of Meizu generation mall have sold 30 million copies in just one month. On the other hand, Amazon, the e-commerce platform with the largest sales of paper books, saw paper books fall slightly by 1% that month. While this may seem insignificant, it has made some professionals secretly alarmed. They predict that if the sales volume of the Meizu generation continues to grow explosively in the future, even if it does not grow, it will continue to sell in a balanced way. Then, in the future, e-books will gradually encroach on the paper book market.
Up, the Meizu generation e-book function is also a kind of touch operation, which should also be attributed to touch. It's just that the impact of books on the world is too great. The Meizu generation of e-book functions have undoubtedly made more people pay attention to the changes in the world. Because everyone knows that knowledge changes the world. Where knowledge is acquired, it is in books.
The third change in the world of the Meizu generation is the emergence of the selfie family.
What is a selfie, it's taking a picture of yourself.
Of course, selfies have been around since the last century.
In other words, after the camera, there is the selfie.
It's just that, before that, selfies weren't too popular.
Although many people occasionally take selfies, they don't attract attention.
However, with the emergence of the Meizu generation, selfies and selfie culture have become another world-class topic.
Of course, the credit for all this is still brought by the Meizu generation.
With 2 million pixels, the Meizu generation makes people directly regard the Meizu generation as a professional digital camera.
What's more, the Meizu generation is also equipped with a flash.
With this magic weapon, it doesn't matter day or night. Whether the light is blurry or completely dark, you can take out your Meizu generation and give yourself a card to wipe.
I don't know how many people, after the Meizu generation was sold, they became a selfie family who loved beauty.
As a saying circulated on the Internet, with the Meizu generation, my mother no longer has to worry about me not being able to take pictures.
This is interesting, but I have to say that the Meizu generation has indeed brought surprises to the world in terms of taking pictures.
However, there may be many people who will not be convinced.
I think that although the Meizu generation of photography seems to have been greatly upgraded, the level of photography is really not comparable to that of digital cameras.
In addition, if it is easy to operate and can be carried, the Meizu generation is not as good as a mobile phone.
Why can the Meizu generation take pictures that can attract so many people's attention?
In fact, it does.
But why not think about it the other way around?
Although the Meizu generation is not as professional as digital cameras, it is completely portable as digital cameras.
In addition to the portability equal to mobile phones, the Meizu generation can kill mobile phones in seconds when taking pictures.
Sometimes, that's how successful a product is.
Doesn't it seem simple?
I think too.
It's a pity that this seemingly simple innovation, if Penguin didn't make it, who knows?
The fourth change in the world of the Meizu generation: the emergence of scalpers.
Originally, I always thought that scalpers were only available in China, or that they were the most well-known in China. Every year, during the Spring Festival, it is the time for Chinese scalpers to show their talents. Often there are no train tickets at the train station, as long as you find a scalper, the scalper will definitely be able to find a way for you.
Only now, we finally understood. In fact, scalpers, he does not know national borders.
He has it in China, and likewise, he will have it in other places.
Not before, just because there wasn't much soil for cattle to grow in.
However, the emergence of the Meizu generation.
In almost any city in the world where Meizu's generation of sales points are located, scalpers have appeared successively.
They were highly skilled, they lined up for three days and three nights, and they mobilized the whole family to participate.
Meizu generation, under the help of these scalpers, the original $1,000 a unit was blasted to $1,500 a unit by scalpers.
It's just that, even so, there are still countless friends who bought the Meizu generation from scalpers.
Even if they know they have to pay $500 more, they feel cheated. However, when compared with the joy of being able to buy the Meizu generation for the first time, what is the extra 500?
If you want to care, then, like those scalpers, you can line up there with a quilt for a few days and nights.
Otherwise, you can only watch the Meizu generation lying in the hands of others.
This is really a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer.
With such tacit cooperation, even an authentic Chinese scalper can also grow all over the world.
The fifth change in the world of the Meizu generation: the crisis of other electronic products.
If the previous series of influences are relatively positive influences, then the emergence of the Meizu generation is no less than a fatal blow to other similar electronic products with similar functions.
The first is MP3, MP4, this Walkman product.
With the emergence of the Meizu generation, who else in the world can remember mp3, and who can remember mp4.
Data from Apple's iPod showed that Apple's iPod sales plummeted by 50% that month.
As the world's No. 1 brand of Walkman, this is not to mention the rest.
For example, Ericsson MP3 fell by more than 80%.
There is also Sony's Walkman.,Although a number of Walkmans have been released recently.,Not to mention that someone bought it.,Few people asked.。
Of course, if the Meizu generation only sold 10 million units that month, it is impossible to cause these Walkmans, MP4 and other products to drop so much. After all, not all of these people went to buy the Meizu generation. However, it is also because of the emergence of the Meizu generation. Even if they don't buy it for the time being, they want to buy it in their hearts. Moreover, since you are ready to buy the Meizu generation, why do you want to buy mp3 and mp4?
The second to be affected is the handheld.
What is the Meizu generation, Penguin calls him a smart phone.
However, for many people who like to play games, the Meizu generation is also a handheld computer.
He has excellent mobility, he doesn't need buttons, he can operate it with touch, and he can play games without even touching it.
This is a handheld king that no handheld can match.
If you want to consider buying a handheld at this time, then the Meizu generation is their best choice.
Same reason as buying a Walkman.
Since you are going to buy the Meizu generation, what reason is there to buy a handheld?
The handheld can only play games, and nothing else can be done.
The Meizu generation can not only play as a handheld, but also as a walkman.
Therefore, in the month when the Meizu generation was officially sold, the sales volume of the world's three major handheld manufacturers plummeted by 70%.
If it weren't for the support of many hardcore handheld fans, I'm afraid that the data of all big handheld manufacturers would be even worse.
This is a huge blow and a huge change for the electronics market.
He is much stronger than the impact on the Walkman market.
After all, the Walkman is a small electronic product, and none of the world's major electronics manufacturers except Apple attach too much importance to the Walkman. The Meizu generation came out to extinguish the Walkman, but the handheld is different, the handheld looks small, but the market behind him represents the entire video game, and the global annual video game market has reached more than 50 billion US dollars, which is stronger than the Hollywood film industry.
It's a pity that the Meizu generation of a penguin company has brought a huge impact to these game companies. Especially for Japan, a big game country, the emergence of the Meizu generation has made their hearts bleed.
In fact, there are many, many more influences that the Meizu generation has brought to the world, but we have not found it.
……
Foxconn.
"Mr. Guo, thank you so much last time."
After Penguin sold 10 million Meizu generations in a month, Zhang Ning personally went to Foxconn and met with Guo Taiming, and he wanted to express his gratitude to Guo Taiming in person.
"You're welcome, it's just a gesture."
"Mr. Guo is too polite, your hand was raised, but you saved our penguins once. If we hadn't had the whole plant to help us rework, I'm afraid our press conference would have been postponed for several days. ”
"Mr. Zhang Ning is serious, even if it will delay some time. But judging from the innovation of the Meizu generation, even if it is postponed, it can also cause a sensation in the world. ”
"That is to say, but I still want to express my gratitude to Mr. Guo. But, yes. Mr. Guo, I have a question I would like to ask, but I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer. ”
"Please."
"Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed to ask."
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Ning, I know what you want to ask."
Guo Taiming said with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Guo, I know what I'm going to ask before I ask you, so tell me what I want to ask."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang Ning, you're so interesting."
Guo Taiming said with a smile, "I guess Mr. Zhang Ning, you must be thinking, I, Guo Taiming, am not related to you, I have not met before, and I have no business contacts, why does Foxconn want to help me." ”
"Mr. Guo is really discerning."
"What kind of discernment, Zhang Ning, if you want me to say, this is too simple, what kind of character are you Zhang Ning, I encountered difficulties before, and it just so happens that I have the ability to help, it is really easy to sell you a benefit."
"I don't think it's that simple."
Zhang Ning shook his head, "At that time, your Foxconn had already filled up the order, so how could you have time to take our rework order." If you want to pick it up, then you have to work 24 hours a day, and there are only a few days at that time. It takes a few days to complete millions of orders, which is not easy to help. ”
"People say that I Guo Taiming is very fine, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang Ning is more refined than me Guo Taiming."
Seeing that Zhang Ning was unmoved, Guo Taiming could be regarded as telling the truth.
"Well, let's be honest with you. Although it is not the main reason, it is one of the reasons. After all, although I haven't dealt with you penguins before, everyone is working on IT. In the future, there may be the possibility of cooperation, doing you a favor and selling you a favor, which is not harmful to our Foxconn. However, what really prompted me to make up my mind to help you was not to give you a favor, but your Meizu generation.
Before the Meizu generation reworked, I actually saw the Meizu generation products. Although at that time, your company imposed restrictions on the Meizu generation, and could not turn on the phone, could not do other operations, etc. However, with the various hardware configurations of the Meizu generation at that time, he made people feel bright. Also, at that time, you at Penguin Company were promoting your press conference and shouting the slogan of changing the world. I'd love to see if you can make this world-changing thing happen. ”
Guo Taiming said while reminiscing.
"The result is that you did it, and my favor was not in vain."
"Thank you."
Zhang Ning once again expressed his gratitude to Guo Taiming.
"Thank you for your help to our penguin company, then, in return, I think, my next order, will be handed over to you Foxconn full processing."
After speaking, Zhang Ning took out a processing order.
The order reads:
Order Type: Smartphone
Order Name: Meizu Generation.
Order quantity: 100000000 units.
