Chapter 149: The "Replacement Machine" frenzy

As soon as the price was announced, plus the "two major pieces" of the mobile phone: the battery and chip are all produced by the subsidiary of Stardust Technology, and there is a guarantee of quality, and even if the other configurations are inferior, they will not affect the normal use too much.

The most important thing is that Meizu Note doesn't look cheap, from the packaging to the actual machine, it is difficult for people to think that this is a 100-yuan machine, and the four colors are also very young and beautiful, combined with its cost-effective price...

It's really a proper entry-level steel cannon.

What? No after-sales service?

Where to buy it from where to sell it after sale,Meizu note from the chip to the screen to the body material,The main thing is that it is sturdy and durable,It's not so easy to break,It's also caused by improper operation。

For example, there is water ingress~

Another example is that I don't know how to use a smartphone, thinking that the phone is broken... Chen Zifan has seen the kind of mobile phone brightness that is too bright due to the outside light being too bright and the brightness of the mobile phone is too low, and the result is that the mobile phone is dead.

He also threatened to ask Stardust Technology to compensate for the loss, but as soon as he entered the Stardust after-sales center, he found that it was his own problem, and the automatic brightness was not turned on... But then again, the auto-brightness of the Stardust phone is very useful.

The built-in light sensor is also very high, take Stardust 3+ as an example, its automatic brightness adjustment can achieve a comfortable feeling of "non-inductive switching".

And even if it is some of the top Android flagships in Chen Zifan's mind, there are very few that can do this, and the stacking may attract many consumers, but if you want to retain users, you have to rely on the use experience in the end.

Of course,This belongs to the category of flagship machines,It has nothing to do with Meizu note,Even if Meizu note has all kinds of imperfections,I have to admit that it is the strongest of the 100-yuan machine。

Regarding the issue of after-sales service, Boss Huang immediately began to build after-sales outlets after the Meizu note press conference, in fact, he has long wanted to do this, but Meizu's volume is not large enough.

Now there is support is definitely different, about the strategy of after-sales outlets, Meizu originally wanted to solve it through mobile phone dealers, but this plan was directly vetoed by Chen Zifan, he wanted a more complete after-sales system.

If you want to build a guaranteed after-sales outlet similar to the Stardust after-sales center, it can be small, remote, and not so anxious to expand, but it must be guaranteed and must be really operated.

100 yuan machine?

What happened to the 100 yuan machine?

The 100-yuan machine is not equipped with after-sales service?

Promoting low-priced mobile phones is an unprofitable business in the first place, so why try to make money from the middle? Isn't the meaning of the existence of Meizu Note to popularize smartphones downward? It's okay not to lose money.

And from a long-term perspective, the development of smart phones is to promote the development of the economy, and some people who do not go out of villages and counties all year round can also learn about the outside world through smart phones.

Some agricultural and sideline products may also be able to find suitable sales through various channels, rather than just rotting in the ground when they can't find a market.

It is worth noting that the after-sales outlets that Meizu is preparing to build are not only for Meizu, it is more like a comprehensive after-sales center, which not only has Meizu's after-sales service, but also attracts other mobile phone brands to join.

In the official words: "This is a people's livelihood project", it really has nothing to do with making money or not, as soon as the Meizu Note was released, there were dozens of advertisements in various channels, and the sales rose directly within a week.

The shipping capacity of the three major operators can be called terrifying, only a few hundred yuan, you can take a smartphone home, if you choose the contract machine mode, the minimum is only 199 yuan, and the traffic is sent every month.

Of course, no matter how much traffic you have, you can't stand it, or IFI is reliable, and you can just launch another IFI package, or combine the three to launch a mobile phone + package card + IFI + router gift package.

The full set is done, plus a year's IFI, and it only costs 1699 yuan, which is also quite cost-effective.

However, this is only from Chen Zifan's point of view, because he has not really experienced the life at the bottom, he only remembers that a college roommate saw his cottage "Xing."

mobile phone" once said:

"I've never touched such a good phone..."

He was really shocked at the time, a little incomprehensible, a little want to laugh, and a little sympathetic, in short, the feelings were very complicated, and then later, he met a lot of people, and at that time Xiaomi was already famous.

One time he went to a small county town, and a few young people who didn't look very old gathered around a very small mobile phone store, and a boss held up a Redmi 1 and said that Redmi was a big brand and very expensive.

However, the Redmi mobile phone has been eliminated, and the stock machine can be bought at the price of about 400 yuan at that time, but at such a price, the people who are watching next to him can only look at it, and they still can't afford it.

But to that extent, it's not a problem with the product, even if Stardust Technology produces its own low-priced mobile phones and compresses the cost to the extreme, it is impossible to buy only three or four hundred yuan, and it will not do that.

Now this model is very good, just keep it and continue to develop, and wait for Redmi to enter the market to hit the price segment to 699 at most, and it can't be lower.

As soon as the official Meizu note appeared, it almost directly sentenced the copycat smart phone to death, and some of the feature phone brands that had been dominating in China and had brilliant features couldn't withstand the pressure, and some of them went away.

For example, the waveguide mobile phone...

Gionee, Tianyu, and Coolpad are also doing relatively badly, but with the user base accumulated before, they can still live and spare their energy to prepare for transformation.

As for whether Bird will set up a Transsion company in Africa to make mobile phones, it is unknown~

It is impossible for Chen Zifan to let Stardust Technology or its subsidiaries go to Africa to sell mobile phones, and it is better to let the locals there resell second-hand Xingchen mobile phones than to sell new phones there, and he will not care about these things.

Let them toss the foreign market by themselves, and Stardust Technology will run the domestic market well first.

As soon as the Meizu blue note was released,12Directly lively,Xiaomi finally began to get anxious,In the planning of Redmi 1,The fledgling Rebus really lacks a little experience。

It may also be that Xiaomi Mi 1 is too laborious, so they haven't been able to pull away, anyway, the specific reason Chen Zifan won't ask much, the opportunity is here, if you can't catch it, you can change to other mobile phone brands to do it.

The Spring Festival of 2009 was January 26, and December also came to the peak sales season of cars and mobile phones.

As a result, it has also led to a shortage of supply, you must know that Meizu has prepared 3 million Meizu blue note! This can be out of stock, no one expected.

Selling 3 million units a month, it is almost catching up with the peak sales of Stardust 2. Of course, it's not that the product at a price is not reasonable than the sales volume, and the price is low and the price is not high... That only shows that the gap is still big.

Meizu Note is not the peak, the real sales peak has to see the more than half a month after New Year's Day, that is the real sales peak, and now it has just begun, which belongs to the warm-up of the "replacement" frenzy.

The idea of consumers who buy Meizu Note is also simple, that is, to buy a cheap and guaranteed smartphone:

"Hey, I don't think I have to use a Stardust phone... It's a good idea to buy a cheap one first!"

"This is a smartphone from a serious brand, and there is an IFI plan, so it's a good deal!"

"Meizu note? It's exquisite! Huh~ This screen is not dripping! But you can make do with it, a few hundred dollars, and you can pick up an IFI for your family..."

"Package card? 58 a month? What about robbery? Get me the cheapest! 12 bucks course! Right! That's it! Cell phone? I bought the 4GB, 799 phone! 4GB is enough!"

"Add 100 and double the memory..."

"How big are 4GB and 8GB! Forget it, let's buy a 4GB one and save some money."

"Yes..."

The rest is the student body, such as middle school students in boarding schools, who have just entered college and are at home

College students with average court conditions and still using feature phones, limited by family conditions, Meizu Note is the first choice.

Meanwhile~

In the Stardust community, a video about online car-hailing is very popular, and the official accounts of Polestar and Tuohai Travel have also reposted it, and it has no gimmick, just to introduce what online car-hailing does.

The video titled "First Experience of Online Ride-hailing" is divided into five parts: what is online car-hailing→ how to play online car-hailing→ first ride experience→ payment, drop-off→ service evaluation (you can ignore this step).

In the video, Lu Dongchang introduced it in great detail, and because he used Stardust 3+, there is optical image stabilization, so the video he shot looks stable.

As a loyal fan of Stardust Technology, his praise for Tuohai Travel in the video accounts for almost 98% of the space, and the shortcomings are only a passing mention, objective or not objective, but the introduction is definitely in place:

"What is ride-hailing? As the name suggests, we can use our smartphones to request a ride through a specific ride-hailing platform, and there will be a car to take you from the destination to the destination, and finally pay online, which is called online ride-hailing."

"The second step is how to play online car-hailing, the current online car-hailing platform is only Tuohai Travel, there may be many online car-hailing platforms in the future, but I think Tuohai Travel can always occupy an advantage...

Far away, we only need to call the Kaikai Travel APP, fill in the personal information according to the above requirements, and then through a simple face recognition, you can enter the start and end points to take a taxi.

Note that there are many people here who must lose, because there are a lot of Xinghan ni who run online car-hailing, if one person is fine, if there are many people in the car, there are three or four, and Xinghan ni will feel very crowded!

Then Tuohai Travel will display the distance and price according to the map, for example, I am going to the wetland park now, the price is 13.72 yuan, then we only need to pay 13.72 yuan after we get on the bus to the station, and there is no problem!

Remember! Don't pay a penny more! If the driver asks you for more money... Direct platform report + police, after verifying the situation, the platform will revoke the driver's online car-hailing operation qualification, do you understand?

Well, our current order has been successfully sent, and there is already a driver who has taken the order, and sure enough, it is Xinghan ni! Wheat yellow, license plate number sea AXXXXXX, 300 meters from us... See, it's the car!"

Lu Dongchang said hello, and the owner of the Xinghan ni car who took the order stopped on the side of the road with a double flash, and regardless of whether this operation was in accordance with the traffic rules, at least it could make people know which car they should sit in at a glance.

"Hello, may I ask if it is..."

"Yes, it's me!"

"The destination is the north gate of the wetland park, the seat belt must be fastened, the newly built road has illegal photos, and it is also for safety, the road is not easy to walk recently."

"Okay~"

As soon as it was demonstrated, netizens who watched the video immediately understood what to do, and the first-person look and feel of the car was okay, and the video was very clear, but it was a bit too boring for the two big men to sit in the car.

Originally, Lu Dongchang also fantasized that it was a beautiful car owner to pick him up, because there were a lot of female car owners who opened the star Hanni, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that he was still a rough man, and he was at least 40+ years old, a proper big brother.

Lu Dongchang is also a ruthless person, and he took the initiative to find a taxi... No, it's the ride-hailing driver who accosted you:

"Master, how many orders can we take in a day?"

When I came up, I inquired about the market and asked the driver's eldest brother, but the eldest brother is also experienced, so he replied without thinking about it: "I don't have many orders, I just like to drive, and by the way, I can earn a few packs of cigarettes."

"Oh~ Then how did we get the money? Next month or every other month? Do I need to pay a security deposit or something? Is the platform commission high? I'm more than 13 yuan, how much can you share?"

Driver:......

"Stop, there are too many questions, I'm just a hobby, the commission will definitely be drawn, it depends on whether you can accept it, salary... Look at the next Tuohai Travel Driver Edition yourself, it has a detailed introduction above."

"Okay~"

Knowing that he was talking too much, neither was Lu Dongchang

I'm embarrassed to chase and keep asking, but fortunately, the distance is not far, and after editing out part of the distance, the smoothness of the video is very high, and when I arrive at the station, I will enter the paid link:

"If you pay, after the driver confirms the trip, the APP will jump to the payment page, and you can pay directly through the bank card that has been bound and opened for online banking, and it will deduct the money from the card.

See? It is how much it is, how much it will deduct, which is also one of the benefits of taking an online car-hailing car, the starting price of a taxi is 6 yuan, and if the distance is close, the online car-hailing will cost less than 6 yuan.

I'll show you how...

See? The distance of nearly two kilometers only needs more than 4 yuan, and it can see the price directly, so you don't have to worry about what to detour and overcharge... What is the price given by the platform, and in the end, it is how much.

After the payment is completed, there will also be a page for successful payment, and the following is some information about the online car-hailing driver, which can be scored, and if there is anything dissatisfied, you can also complain, and the platform will verify it.

Because from the beginning of getting on the bus, there will be a full recording, if you want to save trouble, this step can also be omitted, it's up to you, my personal words, I don't care if I get off after paying for a few times.

Well, the above is a brief introduction to taking online car-hailing and Tuohai travel, at present, only Haicheng has online car-hailing business, but I believe that it will not be long before online car-hailing will be popularized all over the country..."

The latter belongs to a personal point of view, there are pros and cons to online car-hailing, taxi drivers in some cities are not united, and they don't play the meter, but the online car-hailing drivers who can be forced can't do it, which is quite outrageous.

In order to make money and make a living, it is understandable, but the means used are not reasonable, but at this stage, online car-hailing is still mainly concentrated in Haicheng, and other places are still in the embryonic stage, and it will take a while to develop.
