Chapter 257 A Mockery, Sales Crash Death?
Zhang Xiaofeng, 28 years old, is a digital technology enthusiast.
is also a part-time evaluation master, called poor evaluation, because the digital products he evaluates are about 1,000 yuan or even cheaper, after all, he can't afford expensive mobile phones and computer products, so he can only test some cheap products.
[Classic Peak Radio] press conference, a few days ago attracted his attention - today's domestic science and technology circle, some digital products, such as mobile phones, more than ten years ago there will be dozens of new product launches every year, the release of hundreds of mobile phones, and then only three or four mobile phone companies left, the new machines released every year, reduced to two or even one, the speed of iterative updates is getting slower and slower, but also proves that the development of science and technology has slowed down greatly.
Due to the decrease in the number of press conferences, even if it is a radio product, it has a lot of attention, and Zhang Xiaofeng is one of the followers.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
The press conference officially began.
After an hour and a half of introduction, Zhang Xiaofeng watched the whole process, and there was no urine spot, which was extremely vivid and interesting.
It's a tech archaeology event.
From the birth of the world's first radio in 1895 to the 21st century, in the past 130 years, the development of radio, from the beginning to the popular, to the brilliant, and finally to the weak, on the verge of obsolescence, the most rapid development of human industry, radio has always been with human beings, bringing countless stories and memories.
In the process of the development of radio, dozens or hundreds of classic products were born, bringing together the talents of countless outstanding engineers, bringing great influence to human society, leading many trends, but there is always a huge regret.
That is those classic radios, all made and produced by foreigners, and none of them are made by us Chinese.
This regret should be remedied!
We Chinese people can also develop a classic radio, even surpassing all the classics of the past, even if it is indeed a little late in time.
So the Wonder Wheels Group stepped in.
The investment is 1 billion.
Tens of thousands of researchers compete fiercely internally.
Thoroughly understand the underlying principle, and have the ability to produce all the core parts.
All the advantages and merits of those classic radios are referenced and borrowed.
It even uses high-precision machine tools, AI and other high-tech to assist in the research and development of low-tech.
After half a year of research and development, we successfully created this [Classic Peak 877 Radio], which made up for the regret that in the field of radio, there were no Chinese people who left classics.
Sound quality, sling all classic radios.
Ease of use, top-notch.
Signal sensitivity, top-of-the-line.
Tape quality, top of the line.
And so on and so forth.
Anyway, no matter what aspect it is, it has been done to the extreme.
The pricing is very conscientious, only 399 yuan / unit, tape 15 yuan / box.
"Yes, very good."
"It's really a new peak that surpasses the classics."
"Basic research and development from scratch, archaeological research that picks up the light of science and technology in the past, and repeated manufacturing of wheels that are no longer useful, interesting, so interesting, this company is really amazing."
"The price, from the perspective of one billion R & D costs, the price of 399 is not expensive, only equivalent to a day's salary for many people, after buying, it can help middle school students learn foreign language listening, can be used as an industrial art collection, can also listen to tape music albums, listen to wireless radio stations, etc., practicality is still there, radio is now used less, but it is really not to the extent of elimination, some people may like this kind of retro products, not necessarily love to play mobile phone brush video."
"There is a market, there is a certain market."
"I'm going to place an order to buy one, do an evaluation video, help promote it, advertise, maybe I can increase the sales of a few units, such a fun, interesting and more affectionate product, if the sales are miserable, it is really a pity."
Zhang Xiaofeng said secretly that his evaluation of [Classic Peak Radio] is quite good, with positive support and praise.
But......
This is Huaxia.
No matter how great the achievement, there are still countless critics and trolls.
Even if the total GDP of the previous year became the world's first, there are countless people who say that they should look at the per capita ratio, think that there are still countless shortcomings, and say that they must not be complacent.
If you want to be in this land, in a certain matter, it is more difficult to get the praise and affirmation of the vast majority of people, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, there are countless strict and demanding people, even if they themselves are not very good, even if they are just a keyboard warrior with a low education, but they will still require everyone and things with the highest standards, in their eyes, a perfect score of 100 and 99 is equal to unqualified, that is, there are deficiencies and defects, the spray should still be sprayed, and the problem must not be covered.
This harsh atmosphere of public opinion has become the driving force for Huaxia to constantly improve itself, dare not slack off, and strive to move forward, which is a good thing to some extent, but it just makes countless foreigners feel collapsed, and they have to work to be the first in the world in any field, how can they live?
And after the release of [Classic Peak Radio], it soon became a new victim of this harsh atmosphere of public opinion.
A taunt.
The comment area is almost full of voices, ridicule and sarcasm, and those like Zhang Xiaofeng who express appreciation and recognition belong to a minority of the minority.
"Just a broken radio and want to cut our leeks? Daydreaming! ”
"Why is the technology circle getting more and more mixed back, the radio has popped up, and they dare to blatantly develop a press conference, can any cat or dog have a press conference now? Has the threshold for the tech industry become so low? ”
"God's special archaeological scientific research, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect a company to do this."
"One billion R&D funds, isn't it okay to use this money to fund poor students and donate it to seriously ill patients? Isn't it a waste to make a completely useless broken radio and specialize in creating electronic waste? The state doesn't care about this kind of behavior, it's really not okay, just transfer this money to my account and help me help the poor. ”
"If it sells for 99 yuan, I may consider buying one for my daughter who is in junior high school, but 399 yuan is purely for the leek of the party of cutting feelings, whoever buys it is a stupid fork, this kind of company should be destroyed, only such a company is finished, and the interests of our consumers will be truly protected."
"Indeed, such a thing that should have been eliminated a long time ago sells for 399, and the tape costs 15 a box, crazy, this wants to make money and wants to go crazy, do you really think leeks are so easy to cut?"
"You must know that in the field of chips that are extremely involuted now, a 5nm advanced chip that concentrates the top technology of mankind is only sold for three or four hundred pieces, this kind of radio that has long been reduced to an antique, how can he sell it at a similar price?"
"I won't buy it anyway, no matter how classic garbage is, it's garbage."
"It's better to take this radio with you and travel back in time to the last century, maybe you can sell millions of units."
"I heard that this magic wheel group is a company under the name of business genius Xu Yuan? It's a pity, this is obviously a big trick, and I can't see any possibility of returning to the capital. ”
“……”
At 12 o'clock in the evening on February 10, on several major e-commerce platforms, [Classic Peak Radio] was put on the shelves, allowing consumers to place orders.
But by 12 o'clock in the evening of the 11th, a full 24 hours had passed.
The number of reservations on the first day was only 998 units, not even 1,000 units.
Violent death.
This sales volume can only be described as a violent death, basically announced the death penalty of this product in advance, it is unlikely to achieve a turnaround, and it is almost impossible to suddenly sell well.
Taizhou, Shengshi Huating Villa District.
Xu Yuan, who was still resting at home, received a call from Chen Siqi, the person in charge of the magic chip company, and he said extremely apologetically: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, our press conference failed, maybe the pricing is a bit high, not many consumers buy it, and the sales are very miserable, this is my responsibility, I may not be suitable to sit in this position, you remove me." ”
"Isn't it normal that you can't sell it?"
Xu Yuan was not surprised at all, and said: "It's such a product that should have been eliminated a long time ago, the price is 400, I don't think normal people will buy it, no sales should be, it's strange to sell a lot of units, you don't have to blame yourself, take a good rest for a few days, and then get ready to start a new R&D project, your position will not change, do it with peace of mind." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, I will work harder."
The boss's trust made Chen Siqi quite moved, and when he thought of one thing, he asked again: "By the way, Mr. Xu, the mass production plan of one million units of the classic peak radio, should you cancel it, not counting the research and development costs, the manufacturing cost of this radio is close to 100, and it costs 100 million to produce one million units, I think there is no need to spend this unjust money, it is enough to get twenty or thirty thousand units, anyway, our main purpose is to accumulate technology." ”
"No, the mass production plan remains the same, a complete assembly line needs to be built, and one million units must be produced, and none of them can be missing." Xu Yuandao.
"But I can't sell it."
"You don't have to worry, I have a way to solve the market, you just do it."
Xu Yuan said, [Classic Peak Radio] In the late Ming Dynasty, it is not too much to sell a set of five thousand silver dollars, even if the price has to be reduced in the later stage, it is impossible to be less than five hundred silver dollars, such a good radio, if it does not make huge profits, I am sorry for the investment spent on it.
"Okay, I got it." Chen Siqi said.
The two ended the call.
Song Jiayun next to her walked over and asked curiously: "Husband, your company's new product has been released, I just looked at it on the website, and now the total sales volume is more than 1,300, and the Internet is almost full of ridicule and criticism, aren't you worried?" ”
"There's nothing to worry about, I didn't start with a bad card that time, and then played it slowly, don't worry, I have a way." Xu Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, I believe your husband, those people on the Internet will definitely be slapped in the face, and maybe a bunch of experts will pat your ass again."
Song Jiayun said with an adoring face, full of confidence in her man, even to the point of blindness, because those facts in the past have proved that her man never does something uncertain, and can always succeed unexpectedly.
