Chapter 495: Bait!
Ma Hongbo is very excited!
Since February 18, after the press conference, Ma Hongbo has stayed in the office, listening excitedly to the various good news brought by his subordinates!
On the day of the 18th!
Nearly 7,000 units were sold in one day!
For a whole day on the 19th, this data soared to 11,000 units, and [Apple 4S] was sold out nationwide!
The long queue at the entrance of the [Apple 4S] flagship store was once no less than the iPhone 4S users who were about to go on sale opposite or next door to the [IPO] (the flagship store of [Apple 4S] has always been open opposite or next door to [IPO China] since last year...... )
The exciting news stimulated his fragile nerves, making his heart tremble with excitement, and even his mouth cramped with laughter......
He stayed up from noon on February 18 to the afternoon of February 20, during which he couldn't stand it, so he squinted for a while......
When he woke up, he saw the news that [Apple 4S] had been robbed by all kinds of crazy robberies, but it was once fried from 1999 to 4999 because there was no goods!
His first thought was to increase production capacity!
Therefore......
He called Zhang Sheng as soon as possible.
But as we all know, Zhang Sheng's phone is always busy, and if you want to contact Zhang Sheng on the phone, this probability is no less than winning the lottery!
After making a few calls, after failing to get through, he chose to leave Yanjing's [Apple 4S Flagship Store] as soon as possible and ran in the direction of [NC Entertainment......
…………………………
See Zhang Sheng......
It's getting harder!
At the entrance of NC Entertainment, I don't know when it started, but it was always surrounded by a group of people.
Some of these people are the media.
Zhang Sheng will always have all kinds of exciting news, as long as you can stir up some inside information, or hear Zhang Sheng say two words about his views on the technology circle, you can make headlines!
There are also countless large and small capitals, and that press conference ......
The capital market was detonated, the [group buying war] was in full swing, and Zhang Sheng opened up a new battlefield here, and this group of capital flocked to it again, they were holding a lot of banknotes, waiting to see Zhang Sheng, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the new track of [smart machine]......
In addition, there are countless mobile phone manufacturers who have cooperated with Zhang Sheng.
These mobile phone manufacturers saw the grand occasion of [Apple 4S], these people were both excited and unwilling, and felt that everyone started at the same time, why did you [Apple 4S] get favored first?
……
Seeing these mobile phone vendors, Ma Hongbo once pulled his mask for fear of being seen, and then beat him severely.
While waiting in the hall, Ma Hongbo also saw a group of group buying brands.
Some are [Harvest Group Buying], some are [Fengyu Mall], and some are group buying brands that have just risen recently......
He knows very well that at present, [Apple 4S] is a powerful tool for [group buying website] to attract traffic!
For this, the performance on the surface is the same as that of iPhone4S, but the cost performance is amazing, many Chinese users who are full of pride are in a very hungry state!
The number of visits in the past few days has almost exploded, with millions of visits, and it has jumped into the top ten websites of Huaxia shopping websites!
But......
The production capacity of [Apple 4S] is always limited, and a flagship store can only give about 300 units a day at most!
300 units are completely in short supply, so these users began to find sources of goods in various channels!
Although some group buying websites did not get the authorization of [Apple 4S], they uploaded the [Apple 4S] and [iPhone4S] mobile phone photos to the homepage of the website and became the main product......
In such a context.
The group buying brands that fought to the end naturally couldn't miss the wave of large traffic outlets of [Apple 4S] and [iPhone4S], and they were all looking for Zhang Sheng like crazy......
Evening of February 20.
Ma Hongbo, who had been waiting for nearly three hours, finally met Zhang Sheng.
He took a stack of data and excitedly followed Zhang Sheng to report the amazing sales and popularity of [Apple 4S], and excitedly told Zhang Sheng that he wanted to spend money to expand the production capacity of [Apple 4S], and then, how......
But Zhang Sheng was very calm about this, and he didn't even have any smile on his face.
Window.
The rain was dripping.
"Maintain the status quo, don't expand the factory for the time being......" Zhang Sheng looked at the information and plan handed over by Ma Hongbo, and shook his head after reading it for a while.
"Mr. Zhang, are you going to engage in hunger marketing?" Ma Hongbo suppressed his excitement and asked: "If it's hunger marketing, Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that our market demand is terrifying......
"The funds needed to expand the factory this time are about 1 billion, where do you go to find 1 billion funds?" Zhang Sheng did not answer Ma Hongbo's words directly, but squinted at Ma Hongbo.
"Mr. Zhang, the current market is hot, 1 billion funds are very easy, if we don't invest ourselves, we can go to the capital market to find investment, as long as you definitely nod, don't say 1 billion, 2 billion, you can pull it, if you are not interested in this, I can pull it...... Moreover, Mr. Zhang, so many group buying brands are looking for us to cooperate, we can even collect a wave of money first, and then, while collecting money, expand the factory, the house has an off-plan house, our mobile phone, we can also have a fixed-term machine......"
The huge success made Ma Hongbo very excited, unprecedented self-confidence emerged from his body, he took a deep breath, and made bold words to Zhang Sheng!
His excited voice rang out in the office.
Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Ma, if you go too fast, people will fall, if you want to stand on a high place, you have to climb step by step, climb slowly, and be careful with every step." ”
"Mr. Zhang, I understand the reason, but now we have such a good momentum, if we don't seize this momentum, in case the momentum passes, we ...... But I don't have this chance! iPhone4 sales last year, close to 30 million, 11 million units in China, 11 million units! When he heard this, Ma Hongbo became a little anxious.
Zhang Sheng stared at Ma Hongbo.
Ma Hongbo just followed Zhang Sheng to look at each other, his eyes were always excited and eager, and he even wanted to express everything he wanted to say.
But......
Gradually, Ma Hongbo was inexplicably weak and subconsciously avoided it, but he didn't know where he was weak.
"Do you really think we can have the same sales as the iPhone 4S?" Zhang Sheng suddenly asked this question.
"Our products are not inferior to iPhone4S, and our prices are so affordable, to be honest, I really can't understand why we don't have this kind of sales, at least in the field of Huaxia, I am very confident in our products......" Ma Hongbo hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at Zhang Sheng, his voice was as confident as ever!
They spent hundreds of millions of dollars under [Apple 4], such a large amount of money, making him feel that his product is the top product!
"Are we really better than the iPhone 4S except for the appearance?" Zhang Sheng looked at Ma Hongbo again.
"We ......" Ma Hongbo nodded, and then, I really wanted to say something, and used parameters to talk to Zhang Sheng, but after seeing Zhang Sheng's squinted eyes and a somewhat deep voice, he seemed to be choked by something in his throat, and after a while, he could only watch Zhang Sheng be silent.
"iPhone4S is a dual-core IPOA5 processor, which is twice as good as the previous generation iPhone4, and although our processor is also dual-core, in fact, it is not as good as iPhone4...... We use the S4 processor under [American Sky], and our purchase price is more expensive than the IPOA5 processor, but the actual model is a low-end processing product in the United States...... Have you ever compared this? ”
"......" Zhang Sheng's question made Ma Hongbo stunned at first, and then he lowered his head.
In fact, the procurement of [Apple 4S] is basically carried out by [Yaohua Technology], and he is only responsible for signing, although he knows these gaps, but he has never made comparisons.
"The operating system we use is Google's Android system, we don't even have the most basic ability to change the Android system ourselves, we can only follow the upgrade iteration of the other party and carry out subsequent upgrades, our operating system, can it be compared to the iPhone4S series of IOS?" Zhang Sheng looked at Ma Hongbo's silence, and he continued to say this heart-piercing sentence.
"But, Mr. Zhang, all of our domestic mobile phones are using Android, and Google announced that it will be free forever! PERFORMANCE-WISE, IT'S ACTUALLY NO WORSE THAN IOS! Ma Hongbo raised his head and looked at Zhang Sheng unwillingly.
"Isn't it really bad?" Zhang Sheng stared at Ma Hongbo.
Ma Hongbo bowed his head again.
"In addition to the operating system and chips, there is also our [Apple 4S] stainless steel design, guess why we invited overseas designers to design this, and guess why we spent so much money on the appearance? Do we really have the ability to be truly fine? ”
“……”
"You compare it again, we [Apple 4S] and iPhone4 in all aspects of component design, you take it apart to see, what kind of difference there is, you take each component apart, and compare it carefully, it seems to be almost the same, in fact, how big is the gap?"
“……”
"We only have lithium batteries, which we made ourselves, but, if you think about it carefully, can our lithium batteries really be stronger than iPhone4S?"
“……”
"I made a list for you to buy according to the specifications on this list, but in the end, you can only find similar, similar, or two-grade components, and we even spent a lot of money to buy things, but they can only be unsatisfactory, do you know why? The real core thing, let alone 500 million, even if you are given 5 billion, you can't buy it! ”
“……”
"In addition, the iPhone 4S has its own artificial intelligence Siri, we, what do we have?"
“……”
"Do you really think that if we spend so much money, get a shell, and then get a marketing, we can overturn the iPhone?"
“…”
"Far ahead, it's just a slogan, it's okay to deceive consumers, but don't deceive yourself..."
in the office.
Ma Hongbo lowered his head.
Suddenly I felt very stuffy, so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.
Zhang Sheng sighed: "Our strength is too limited, [Apple S4], just part of my plan, it is more like a leader, throwing money in the expansion of the factory, never be in a hurry, the market is very urgent, we can't be in a hurry, we must be slow, but also stable...... Moreover, we are far from enough to really compete with iPhones, we need help! ”
"What help?"
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Then, Shen Xiaoxi pushed open the door.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li Zongyao is here, he said, I have made an appointment with you......"
"Okay, in five minutes, you let him in."
"Good!"
After Shen Xiaoxi went out, Zhang Sheng looked at Ma Hongbo: "Remember, Mr. Ma, we are only responsible for igniting the fire, and we are responsible for throwing the bait when fishing, as for those things that charge into battle, we will never do it, someone will rush to do it, we just need to collect money and continue to accumulate strength......"
"Our [Apple 4S] is bait?"
“……”
Zhang Sheng did not speak, but looked at the door silently.
After a while: "Mr. Ma, you should go, don't affect my collection of money......"
“!!!”
