Chapter 1007: Ghostly Phenomena
Knockoffs?
What is a knockoff?
Previously, in many people's understanding, counterfeit goods were those products that molded well-known anti-infringement goods.
It's just that such knockoffs generally happen to some small businesses.
Because only those small businesses would plagiarize so blatantly.
But now, people seem to have discovered that such a name as Shanzhai seems to be able to be placed on well-known companies.
Panasonic Electronics, known as a world-renowned enterprise, actually launched their copycat smart phone.
After only maintaining a day's hot sales, Panasonic's smart phone suffered an avalanche.
The original exceeded 100,000 units, but by the next day, only 10,000 units were sold.
This was only the second day, and on the third day, it fell to 5,000 units.
Immediately, in the next few days, only a few hundred Panasonic smartphones were sold.
Many friends who had previously purchased Panasonic smartphones burst into tears.
They regretted it and kept talking.
I thought I bought a pretend/force artifact, but I didn't pretend to be it, but I was despised.
Obviously, it also cost 800 US dollars, but compared with the Meizu generation, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
I'm embarrassed to take out the Panasonic smartphone, I'm afraid of being embarrassed.
Yes, you don't know, when I came out with a Panasonic smartphone that day, a buddy directly took out the Meizu generation, and I wanted to find a hole to get into it on the spot.
Lao Tzu really wanted to throw away this smart phone.
No, it's $800 anyway, I'm thinking about how to return it.
Return, how is it possible, the product that has been sold, where there is a reason to return, you should spend money to buy a lesson.
No, you must return it, otherwise, it's too pit, I borrowed money to buy a Panasonic smartphone.
It's just that if you want to return it, it seems that there is no reason to return it.
Many friends who regret buying Panasonic smart phones are constantly discussing on the Internet.
There is a reason.
What is the reason?
Do you remember that when Panasonic was promoting, it said that their camera had 3 million pixels.
yes, remember, what's wrong?
However, haven't you noticed that Panasonic's 3 million pixels are actually no match for the 2 million Meizu generation.
At this moment, many people became excited.
I found out, and a lot of people who reviewed the report also found out, is Panasonic deceiving us.
Yes, it must be cheating.
As long as we sue them for cheating, then we have a reason to return the goods.
Great, brothers, let's form a return alliance and return together tomorrow.
Yes.
It didn't take long for Panasonic users to form a return alliance of 1,000 people.
1,000 people united to return the goods, this momentum is not small.
When the Return Alliance issued a return notice to Panasonic on the same day, it immediately attracted the attention of major media.
Something big happened, and Panasonic Electronics caused a big thing.
Journalists in the media news circle have contacted their colleagues and friends.
Smartphones have been attracting attention lately. Previously, Panasonic Electronics launched the world's second smart phone, and the media has always regarded Panasonic smart phones as a competitor of the Meizu generation. And, when the sales data came out on the first day, they once felt that Panasonic Electronics really had the possibility of counterattacking. It's just that the sales behind it are falling rapidly. Panasonic smart phones have gone from the original hot sales to dead ones. It's just that I didn't expect that, even worse, the return alliance formed by 1,000 people has sent a request for return to Panasonic Electronics. As for why they chose to return the item, the reason is simple. They believe that when Panasonic Electronics started selling, there was false advertising.
The original smartphone sales, at this moment, turned into a virtual deception business event.
Suddenly, Panasonic Electronics fell into the heated discussion of public opinion.
Fortunately, it's not the worst.
Despite being in a desperate situation, Panasonic Electronics launched crisis PR.
There is a complete denial of deception.
In addition, they also invited a professional master in the digital circle to evaluate the camera pixels of Panasonic's smartphone.
The evaluation shows that the Panasonic smart machine has indeed achieved a configuration of 3 million pixels.
As for the poor effect, it is related to the level of realistic photography.
After a lot of hard work, finally, a deceptive business incident came to an end.
It's just that what makes Panasonic Electronics crazy is.
Although this deceptive business incident ended, the reputation of Panasonic Electronics did not save much.
There are still many people who have always believed that Panasonic Electronics is cheating.
As it has been unexplained, why 3 million pixels is worse than the 2 million pixel Meizu generation.
If it is said that the level of photography of one person is poor, is the level of photography of everyone also poor?
Moreover, many people are the same person who uses the Meizu generation and Panasonic smartphones in a row.
As a result, the effect of the two photos is one high and one is poor.
Logically, this is impossible.
How can 3 million pixels be worse than 2 million pixels?
Only Panasonic Electronics is playing tricks in it to explain this matter.
For this strange image, for a time, the entire electronics industry could not explain it.
There are many professional masters, and they are also thinking about this question.
It wasn't until much later that Al-Kid, a tech savvy in the industry, explained the oddity.
AIDS posted several tweets on Weibo.
In order to study the photographs of the Meizu generation, he once dismantled dozens of Meizu generations.
Finally, he came to the most correct conclusion.
It turned out that Panasonic Electronics did not deceive, and they did use a 3 million camera.
It's just that why the 3 million pixels are worse than the 2 million of the Meizu generation can only show one problem, that is, the Meizu generation has mastered more cutting-edge camera technology. In Penguin's usual experimental research, they have not had a lot of experiments on taking pictures. One of them is how to absorb as much light as possible from the outside world through the camera camera.
In other words, the pixels are still the same pixels.
However, by different technical means.
Even if it is a smartphone with the same pixel, the effect they shoot will be completely different.
The facts have been proven.
This is not any deception on the part of Panasonic Electronics, it is entirely due to the fact that the Meizu generation is too good.
AIDS's Weibo is a good excuse for Panasonic Electronics.
However, AIDS's Weibo did not discuss the fact that it once again slapped Panasonic Electronics in the face.
This is a great irony.
At this point, no one has bought Panasonic smart phones, which has become a joke in the history of smart phones.
At the same time, the Meizu generation, because of this incident, was praised by users on the altar.
However, Panasonic is not the only one who has succeeded the smartphone.
Even if Panasonic Electronics has become a joke about smart phones, there are still countless companies that have followed up again.
After all, this piece of profit is too big and too big.
Even if it is death to go in, they will go in.
However, after absorbing the lessons of Panasonic Electronics, these electronic companies that have followed up again are more cautious.
The first is the price, and the second batch of follow-up electronics companies no longer maintain high prices in price.
For the $1,000 of the Meizu generation, they directly set the price at $500.
The cheapest is only $299.
Although this may seem like a loss of a few hundred dollars in profit margins, they know that even if it is sold for $299, their smartphone is very profitable.
In the second aspect, they also greatly worry about touch operation.
Although their touch is still not comparable to the Meizu generation, it is generally acceptable.
The third aspect is that there has been a greater improvement on the LCD screen, increasing the screen resolution and making the screen more colorful.
Fourthly......
Everything, it looks good.
In particular, among them, Samsung Electronics is the most eye-catching.
The industry has always regarded this Samsung smart phone launched by Samsung as the second in the Meizu generation.
It can be seen that in terms of specific hardware configuration and functions, Samsung Electronics' smart phone is extremely good.
It's just that these smartphones are still not performing well.
Even Samsung smartphones, which have dropped their prices below $500 and implemented all the features, have been tepid in the market since they were launched. The whole product has been sold for a while, but it is just to maintain food and clothing, and there is still a long way to go for the entire product to be profitable.
The entire smartphone market once again seems to be very ghostly.
It's the same as the previous Panasonic electronic pixel problem.
Obviously, the functional configuration of these smartphones has begun to follow up greatly, but why can't their products be sold?
Could it be that the Meizu generation really has such a strong magic that it can make users disdain other brands?
……
Samsung Electronics.
"Guys, we've only sold 30,000 Samsung smartphones this month, and I need an explanation."
Samsung Electronics CEO Kwon Wuxian slammed the information in his hand on the conference table.
Since Samsung Electronics decided to enter the development of smart phones, Samsung Electronics has spent a huge amount of research and development expenses, and even poached a few masters from Penguin. Although it is not the top, it still helps Samsung Electronics to avoid a lot of detours. And, after the launch of Samsung's smart phone, it took out a lot of money for advertising.
However, everything is ready, but the sales of Samsung smartphones have been stagnant.
Data of 30,000 units a month.
Such a data may be very satisfying for some small electronics companies.
However, for a super electronics giant like Samsung Electronics, the sales of 30,000 units cannot even be paid to their salaries.
Not to mention, to make a profit from such sales?
"What, nothing more to say?"
Seeing the silence of the entire conference room, Quan Wuxian was so angry that he vomited blood.
These guys, when they were developing their products, didn't swear to kill the penguins.
However, the penguins were not killed, but they were all dying.
"Li Ming, you say."
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Quan Wuxian asked directly by name.
"Uh......"
Li Ming is a senior designer of Samsung Electronics' smart phone, and was named by Quan Wuxian, and Li Ming secretly called out bad luck.
In fact, he also felt extremely incomprehensible about the strange situation of Samsung smartphones.
Hardware, software, they're all doing a great job.
Even if it really can't be compared with the Meizu generation, it's not much worse.
However, why is the sales figure so bad?
If it weren't for the support of some loyal fans in South Korea, I'm afraid that I wouldn't know if I could sell 10,000 units a month, let alone 30,000 units.
"General Manager Quan, I think everyone may still not be able to accept our Samsung brand, I suggest that advertising should be strengthened again."
"Advertising?"
Quan Wuxian sneered, "What do you think, how about giving you an approval of 100 million US dollars in advertising costs?" ”
"When...... Of course it's good. ”
It's just that when I thought that this was Song Wuxian's counterwords, the cold sweat behind Li Ming came out of the same way.
"General Manager Quan, I just have a personal opinion, a personal opinion."
"Qian Dazhong, what about you, what do you think?"
Ignoring Li Ming, Quan Wuxian asked about the next one.
"Mr. Quan, I think this is the 28 theorem of the market. Of course, the smartphones of the first brand will pull away from the second and third places. Moreover, after the Panasonic electronic photography incident, the Meizu generation was put on the altar. ”
"In other words, according to you, we don't need to develop smart machines at all?"
"Mr. Quan, I didn't mean that either, I just, just ......"
Zizi hmm, Qian Dazhong couldn't even answer the phone later.
"Hehe, you are really the elite of my big Korea."
asked the two of them in a row, but neither of them could answer at all, and Quan Wuxian was extremely crazy in his heart.
"Mr. Quan, I have a little opinion?"
At this moment, a person in the conference room stood up.
"Oh, Li Jinping, what do you think?"
"Actually, I think that our smartphones, both in hardware and software, have done quite well. Even if there is still a certain distance from the Meizu generation, this gap is not far away. The reason for the current situation, in addition to advertising, branding, etc., we can't compete, the most important thing is that our services have not kept up? ”
"Service, what do you say about this?"
"I think that the Meizu generation is not just about providing all kinds of functions, in addition to providing users with these functions, he also provides services for various applications. Like video services, reading services, game services, music services. These services are provided through the Meizu Mall. ”
"Go on."
"In other words, the reason why users won't buy our Samsung smartphones is because we have fewer services. We don't have too many games to play, we don't have too many apps, and even e-books are very few that adapt to our Samsung smartphones. We're just providing these features, but we don't think about where users are going to find them. Over time, even if users buy our products, after playing for a while, they won't want to play. ”
"If the Meizu generation is a computer connected to the Internet, then our Samsung smartphone is a PC that cannot be connected to the Internet. Obviously, it must be the Meizu generation that is connected to the Internet that is more fun. ”
"Interesting."
Kwon nodded, and he finally heard an answer that seemed to make sense.
"So, what do you mean we Samsung smartphones should do?"
"Although our Samsung smart phone has also launched the Samsung Mall, however, there are still very few apps in our Samsung Mall, and the user purchase rate is very low. I would suggest that we work with global software companies to develop a dedicated app for our Samsung Store. ”
"Looks good, Li Jinping, and I'll take full responsibility for working with the world's major software companies. I hope that when our Samsung mall is OK, our Samsung smartphones will improve. ”
"Yes, General Manager Quan, I will work hard."
