Chapter 198 [Azure-X Sale]
The North American trip ended perfectly, and the launch date of Azure phones arrived.
Mid to late December, Europe.
Yao Jianhong is still in Europe today, to be exact in Germany, today is December 23rd, and there is only one day left before the product goes on sale.
It will be on sale tomorrow.
The special car took Yao Jianhong to a single flagship store by the Danube River in Germany, and when he got out of the car, he did not walk towards the flagship store, but watched from a distance.
At this time, Yao Jianhong saw a long queue in a large open space outside the flagship store, arranged in the shape of a "bow", and even saw a lot of tents.
"It looks like there are more than six or seven hundred people."
Looking at Yao Jianhong from a distance, he couldn't help but say, with satisfaction in his tone, seeing this picture, he knew that the sales of Azure-X had basically stabilized, and as the general manager of the supply chain and the president of global sales and service of the Cote d'Azur, his heart was also stable.
After a while, his assistant said: "Mr. Yao, the major flagship stores have closed the experience window a week ago, and on the second day of closing, some consumers have rushed to wait in line, it's crazy, it's really going to be a big sale." β
Yao Jianhong couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard it, he didn't hesitate to set up a tent to buy it first, it was definitely true love.
"Mr. Yao, do you want to go to the store to have a look? I'm going to contact the person in charge of this offline store? His assistant asked.
"No, let's go. Let's take a look at the situation of the store in the mall. Yao Jianhong shook his head and said, after watching the picture of many consumers queuing for a while, he turned around and got into the car and went to the next offline store.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yao Jianhong went to another city in Germany, looked at the local shopping mall, and also formed a long queue.
That night, Yao Jianhong stayed at a nearby hotel for one night, and at the same time, the news of offline stores in other parts of Europe was also reported to him, and the scene was probably similar.
Judging from a series of information obtained so far, Azure-X has won the recognition of European consumers, and the development experience for more than two months has completely dispelled the doubts in the minds of some European consumers and impressed these Europeans.
Because before this, many European mobile phone users were actually hesitant about Azure-X mobile phones, and they retained a lot of doubts about whether this consumer electronics product from China was in terms of quality and other issues, and the actual experience and at least three years of after-sales service guarantee dispelled the worries of consumers who like this product.
After all, the price of this product is not cheap, the price in Europe, the retail price of an Azure-X mobile phone 4GB model is 499 euros, about 5145 yuan without exchange rate changes; The 16GB model retails for Β₯699, approximately Β₯7,200 before exchange rate fluctuations.
Because of tariffs, prices will inevitably rise.
β¦β¦
December 24th, today is the Azure-X mobile phone global sale day, which is also Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas.
CΓ΄te d'Azur companies' money-grabbing schemes abroad...... Uh, no, the marketing plan is clearly arranged.
β¦β¦
London.
At 9 a.m. local time, all major offline stores in Europe opened almost simultaneously, and the average number of consumers waiting in line for each offline store reached 525.
The atmosphere at the scene was also very hot, accompanied by celebrations such as flower tubes, and consumers who had been queuing for a long time were also cheering.
Their mood is that they have finally waited for this day.
I've been looking forward to it for more than two months, and it's not easy to get it for the first time.
"I'm going to buy a 4GB model, thank you!"
"Okay, it's 499 euros, will I pay in cash or by card?"
"Swipe your card."
"Two 16GB models, thank you!"
"A total of 1,398 euros, will I pay in cash or by card?"
"Swipe your card."
At this moment, in this offline store, Azure-X mobile phones are constantly being taken out of the warehouse and delivered to one consumer after another.
Time passed minute by minute, and the number of consumers waiting in line to buy did not decrease but increased on this day, and at the end of the long queue waiting to buy, it is still ranked 8900 outside.
The excellent industrial design of the Azure-X phone is really beautiful, and it is definitely one of the most anticipated Christmas gifts this year, some consumers are preparing Christmas gifts for themselves, some are for the other half of the love, etc.
In a single flagship store in London, a group of reporters were on their way to the offline store, and they were amazed by the hot shopping scene in front of them, but they were not shocked.
Because as early as a week ago, the news has been widely reported in the news media, and since a week ago, Azure-X mobile phones have begun to gather a large number of consumers in major offline stores in Europe, obviously to rush to buy.
These phenomena are undoubtedly a precursor to the success of the Azure-X phone, which has been attracting attention since a week ago.
I was already shocked at the time.
As for now, watching the Chinese people frantically earn money, it is inexplicably sour.

"Hello, our BBC correspondents, can we do a brief interview with you on the spot?" The reporters who came immediately caught a young man who had just come out of the store, and the shopping bag in his hand indicated that he had bought an Azure-X phone.
"Absolutely."
The young man named Barrett nodded happily, not at all timid when facing the camera.
Reporter: "How much did you spend on the equipment you bought?" β
Barrett: "I bought two, one is a 4GB model for ξ¬ 499 euros, which is for my friend to snap it up, and I myself bought a 16GB model for ξ¬ 699 euros, for a total of ξ¬ 1198 euros. β
Reporter: "Are you satisfied with the price of Azure-X?" β
Barrett: "To be honest, I'm not happy with the price, it's really too expensive for me as a person who is not very wealthy. β
Reporter: "Why would you buy a product that is not satisfactory in price?" β
Barrett heard the reporter ask, pondered for a moment and then said: "Because I really like this phone very much, although in my eyes it still has some flaws, and the price is super expensive, I followed the AOS developer conference, but I didn't wait for AOS2.0 at all, you don't need new hardware to fall in love with Azure-X, because AOS1.0 is enough, wait until the software is updated...... It's hard to put it into words......
Barrett, who had a tangled face, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said: "Let's put it this way, when I first met Azure-X, it was like a teenager meeting the first Playboy book in his life, yes, that's how it feels, this is the sexiest tech product I've ever seen, it's just not too nice~~"
Reporter: "......"
After a while, the reporter who interviewed him smiled awkwardly but gracefully, and quickly skimmed over the topic and asked again, "What do you think of the Azure-X experience?" β
Barrett replied without thinking: "I think one of the biggest technical achievements of Azure-X is that users can easily swipe through the screen with their fingers, and the first experience of touch screen is wonderful, the high-resolution screen is gorgeous, and the Helvetica font has never looked so good on the screen." Everything is very fast and sensitive. β
Barrett hurriedly added: "When you drag something, whether it's swiping to unlock your phone, or zooming in on a photo or web page, the drag action follows your fingertips, and so far I haven't found any element of the UI in Azure-X that doesn't make people feel super happy, and it's all true, which is important!" β
Reading between the lines, he has a lot of love for this product.
The interview ended quickly, and the BBC reporter followed with a few more consumers for a brief interview, all of which were unanimously praised.
β¦β¦
BBC Editorial Board.
"Clyde, has the interview video come back, and how much of the recorded content is negative? Upload all the bad reviews online. β
"I'll see...... Oh, it's unbelievable, it's all good reviews, it's just rave reviews. β
βWhatοΌ Not a single bad review? β
"That's right, I don't believe you can come and take a look."
"Damn, what international jokes? Did the front-line reporter secretly collect Luo Sheng's money? Hurry up and find some childcare to come, I want a bad review, preferably a long review, understand? β
"This ...... Is this really good? β
"I'm the editor-in-chief, I have the final say, and I have to do things when I collect money, this is the basic professional ethics, OK?"
βOkayβ¦β
And such a hot best-selling scene, even those traditional mobile phone giants were shocked, and those industry insiders who were optimistic about the decline were undoubtedly shocked.
