Chapter 124 The Rice 2S Moss co-branded model sold 1.5 million units in the first month
Yancheng.
Rice Science and Technology Park.
In a luxurious conference room on the top floor, Chen Heyu picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip, and the rich fragrance of roses and jasmine came to his nose.
"Mr. Chen, how is it?"
Lei Jun saw the satisfaction flashing on Chen Heyu's face, "hehe" smiled, and asked proudly.
The coffee beans were obtained by his trustee from the Emerald Estate in Barnamar, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.
For the identities of the two, this amount of money is not even a dime, and the main focus is a "heart".
But Rebus is destined to play the piano to the cow, and Chen Heyu's tasting of coffee is still at the stage of "fragrant" and "delicious", and he has not realized his good intentions at all.
"Yes, I'll pack two bags and take them with me before I leave."
Chen Heyu asked for it with a big grin, not polite to the other party at all.
"Shhh
Lei Jun gasped, revealing a look of embarrassment, just a few breaths, his expression changed and changed, and after some struggle, he "reluctantly" nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Lei, it's just two packets of coffee beans, isn't that the case?"
Chen Heyu grinned, and in the blink of an eye, he understood the other party's thoughts, so he asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Chen, this bean is not ordinary......"
What Lei Jun wanted was his words, and immediately began to popularize science, "the world's top coffee varieties", "the annual output is only 300 kilograms", "how many contacts do you have for a few bags of coffee beans", and after finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Heyu with a smile, waiting for praise.
"Mr. Lei is worthy of being an expert, then I can't be polite, Assistant Cheng, I'll help me get another pack later."
Chen Heyu appropriately gave a "surprised" reaction to satisfy Lei Jun's desire to pretend to be forced, and smiled at the other party's intentions.
Lei Jun's female assistant, Cheng Xi, sat on the side and nodded with a smile.
The greetings ended, and the meeting got to the point.
"Lao Lu, take out the product and let Mr. Chen help check it."
Rebus said to his old partner Lu Bing next to him.
"Mr. Chen, please take a look."
Lu Bing picked up the bag at his feet, took out a mobile phone from it, and put it in front of Chen Heyu's desk.
It's the Rice 2S Moss collaboration!
The 4.3-inch screen, powered by a Snapdragon 600 processor and Adreno 320 graphics technology, greatly improves responsiveness and operational efficiency, and is loaded with Moss Intelligent Voice System.
Chen Heyu played with it in his hand, the 145-gram machine was full of volume, like a small brick, and compared with those ultra-thin smart phones in the future, it was somewhat clumsy.
As a member of the core R&D team, the underlying code was written by him and Wei Gang, and he naturally knew what Moss was capable of.
Just seeing Lei Jun staring at him with anticipation on his face, he shook his head helplessly, directly lit up the screen, and shouted into his mobile phone: "Moss? ”
"Master, I'm here, please command."
Moss's voice came from the speakers.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Hayu's questions are tricky, like a teacher, questioning the worst students in the class.
"Master, I am an AI robot that has no emotions and no consciousness, so I cannot have emotional empathy, subjective thinking, and social skills like humans.
In addition, since I didn't add a character talent, the answer may be inaccurate or inappropriate, and the owner can get a more professional answer by purchasing a character card. ”
Moss said coldly.
Lei Jun, Lu Bing, and Cheng Xi all widened their eyes, can they still ask questions like this?
How can AI intelligence learn to sell?
The cooperation model between Future Technology and Rice Group is different from the Moss Ai Painting Alliance, which not only charges a huge licensing fee every year, but also takes an 80% commission from the sale of character cards.
Rice Group, a senior wage earner!
"Moss, I'm a music teacher, I need to go to school tomorrow, help me arrange my trip."
Chen Hayu continued to throw out difficult questions.
"Master, help you deal with it immediately, here is the schedule of tomorrow's classes:
1. Wake up at 7:30 a.m. and set aside 15 minutes to practice the repertoire after breakfast to confirm that you have a good grasp of the music.
2. 9:00-11:00 a.m. is a beginner course, and 3:00-5:00 p.m. is an intermediate course;
3. 5:00-7:00 p.m. for homework correction and class plan formulation;
4. Break time from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.;
5. 8:30-10:30 p.m.
6. Go to bed at 10:30 p.m. ......"
Moss replied unhurriedly.
Chen Heyu raised his head and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lei, I believe in the strength of the Rice Group, and the voice sensor of the Rice 2S device is very good."
So tomorrow's sale, how many pieces of rice have been prepared for the Moss special session? ”
"The price of the 16G version is 1599 yuan, and the inventory is 300,000 units; The price of the 32G version is 1899 yuan, and the inventory is 200,000 units, a total of 500,000 units. ”
Lei Jun stretched out a hand and said lightly.
Compared with the last sale price, the price has risen by 100 yuan, and this 100 yuan is actually the licensing fee paid by rice to Future Technology, which is passed on to users in disguise.
Otherwise, with a comprehensive net profit of less than 8% of Rice Mobile, it simply cannot afford this expense.
The price increase is also reasonable!
A Moss speaker costs 99 yuan,Rice2S Moss co-branded model,With the same function,Rebus's price increase,In the eyes of fans, it is still a conscientious move。
After all, the actual value of Moss speakers is much higher than 99 yuan!
If you can't grab the Moss speaker, then go grab the rice 2S!
"I wish Mr. Lei a big sale!"
Chen Heyu stood up and said with a smile.
500,000 units in stock, excluding the commission for the sale of character cards, he can earn 50 million just by relying on the licensing fee!
The shipment of rice mobile phones this year is 18 million units, and next year it will be 60 million, regardless of the impact of Moss on its sales, Chen Heyu can easily earn 6 billion!
"Let's get rich together."
Lei Jun smiled slightly, a little bitter, the profit of each rice unit is just over 100 yuan, and he can only earn 30 yuan based on the equity ratio!
It's only less than one-third of Chen Heyu's!
Looking at the other party's young, handsome and high-spirited face, he was in a trance, and felt that he was back in the days when he was working hard for Jinshan Software.
The smiles of the two gradually overlapped!
In the evening, Rebus boldly set up a table of private dishes, full of exquisite dishes, after listening to Mr. Lei's boasting, Chen Heyu understood that the owner of the restaurant, the ancestor was still from the palace.
Delicacies of the mountains and seas, aged Maotai.
Of course, these are worthless foils, and the founding team of Xiaomi is the protagonist, and under the introduction of Lei Jun, he got to know each other one by one.
To put it simply, there is no ordinary person, and Rebus's entrepreneurial group can be called luxurious.
Either he has a background as an operator, or he is a mobile phone hardware supplier, or he is a big player in the field of mechanical design and communication technology, and at the last time, he is also a mobile phone product manager recruited from a friend.
He didn't make his own mobile phone brand, just considering the complex supply chain and operator relationship behind it, borrowing chickens to lay eggs is the way of smart people.
The wine party dispersed.
Zhang Nan sat in the co-pilot and followed the driver to send him home.
"Find an open space, I want to blow the wind."
Chen Heyu calmly proposed.
"Okay, boss."
The driver, an old Yancheng man, quickly drove the Maybach to a bridge across the river.
"Boss, it's not convenient to park nearby, I need to park the car in front, you and Zhang always need it, call me at any time."
After the two got out of the car, the driver explained.
Chen Heyu waved his hand, indicating that he knew, and then took Zhang Nan to walk slowly along the river.
The breeze is coming, and the lights are shining.
"The boss thinks that Lei is always beating you, so you're in a bad mood?"
Zhang Nan asked tentatively.
"Not really, you can see Rebus's thoughts, can I not notice it?"
Chen Heyu sneered and said disdainfully.
All night, Lei Jun was introducing Xiaomi's core team, just to tell him that the mobile phone industry was too deep, and he couldn't grasp it, so he took the initiative to give up.
Don't you know that Chen Heyu has no interest in making mobile phones at all, and the most profitable person for a smartphone is always the hardware vendor, the high-end chip and screen supplier.
Cutting-edge technology is in the hands of foreigners, if he gets involved in the mobile phone industry, he is nothing more than a low-end assembler, and the ceiling can only rely on the volume to force the supply chain to reduce prices and make some hard-earned money.
The big head was all taken away by foreigners!
"And what are your concerns?"
Zhang Nan was puzzled.
"It's just that I think Rebus is too pitiful, the domestic mobile phone industry is too fragile, it seems to be strong, but it is like a paper tiger, and it will be broken when you poke it.
He thought I coveted the fat piece of rice, but I wasn't interested in it at all. ”
Chen Heyu sighed, leaned on the railing on the side, and looked at the tall buildings in the distance.
"This is how domestic mobile phone manufacturers have come."
Zhang Nan has her understanding and opinions.
"Just because it's like this doesn't mean it's okay, it's always been like this, right?"
Chen Heyu said unpleasantly.
The meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, and he also understands this truth, and some things are not in a hurry.
“……”
Zhang Nan was silent, knowing that the boss was in a bad mood, and after venting his emotions, he would return to normal.
The two of them were so quiet in the cold wind, each pondering.
"Sorry for the delay."
After a long time, Chen Heyu breathed a sigh of relief, and a prototype of a plan was brewed in his mind, and after having a new goal, the aura of the whole person changed significantly.
"It's an honor to be with my boss."
Zhang Nan smiled lightly and said sincerely.
She didn't know what Chen Heyu was thinking in the last few minutes, and she didn't want to know.
If there is an executive job, she will learn sooner or later that curiosity is not a good emotion in front of the boss.
A few minutes later, the driver turned the car around, first sent Chen Heyu back to his residence, and then continued to send Zhang Nan home.
……
November 10th.
The day before Singles' Day.
The Mi 2S Moss co-branded mobile phone will go on sale at 10 o'clock!
There are two versions, 16GB and 32GB, and the colors are available in five colors: black, white, green, orange, and red.
After Chen Heyu took a look, he couldn't help but complain, the dazzling back cover design is likely to be scolded by Cheng Xiang after ten years.
But in the eyes of fans in 2013, high-saturation colors have indescribable beauty.
Just after 10 o'clock, the page of the rice mall began to freeze, and the Moss Ai mall was withdrawn.
"There must be scalpers on technology."
Chen Heyu said in his heart that in his previous life, he had also stayed up late to buy Maotai, limited edition tea and sneakers, and he was very familiar with this situation.
Before the expansion of production capacity, scalpers were an unavoidable problem, and only unlimited inventory could defeat them.
This is also the reason why he added five new pre-sales in a row after the third round of Moss speaker sales, and a full 6 million units of stock were sold.
The results are remarkable, at least the price of Moss speakers in the second-hand market, successfully falling from 1000 yuan to more than 400 yuan.
Few scalpers dare to continue to hold it in their hands, and if they sell more, the price will naturally come down.
But there is one exception, he is the "plug-in expert" Zhao Dong.
The first wave of pre-sales earned 14,700 yuan!
The second wave of pre-sales earned 32,200 yuan!
Together, it was worth half a year's salary, so his mentality floated up, and in the third round of pre-sales, he grabbed 78 Moss speakers again, and decided to hoard Jiqi and use all his savings to recycle speakers at a high price.
More than 120,000 deposits, which are also all his wife's capital, were all smashed in, buying 136 units at an average price of 900 yuan, plus the inventory grabbed in the third round, more than 200 speakers, and the rental house was densely stacked.
"Zhao Dong, I think it's too risky, you better sell these speakers quickly, I beg you."
The girlfriend is a character who seeks stability, and she is frightened by his crazy actions.
"Rest assured, the production capacity of Future Technology is insufficient, otherwise how would they choose to do pre-sales? Instead of directly letting go of the spot? As long as you stay up for a month, the price of Moss speakers will skyrocket. ”
The experience of earning twice in a row gave Zhao Dong strong confidence, and he thought about it again and again, if Moss's price could rise to 2,000 yuan, wouldn't he be able to earn 300,000 yuan!
With the principal, there are more than 420,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a house in the city in full.
Driven by this mentality, in the face of declining prices, Zhao Dong gritted his teeth.
The first pre-sale turned a blind eye;
The second pre-sale faith was shaken;
The third pre-sale is honestly afraid;
The fourth pre-sale collapsed across the board;
After the fifth pre-sale, he immediately sold the speaker in his hand, but the price had already plummeted, falling all the way from the 1,000 yuan mark to less than 400 yuan.
In addition, you have to give free shipping to buyers to be competitive in the scalping circle.
Zhao Dong didn't dare to wait any longer, and sold it out in one go, only returning less than 80,000 funds.
The money earned in the first two waves, this wave, all vomited back, his intestines were about to repent, if he didn't have a hot head, he could earn at least 100,000 yuan!
"Hmph, so that you don't listen to my advice."
The girlfriend snorted coldly and complained.
In the following months, he was depressed, and when he handed in his homework at night, he was a little unable to do so, and often ended hastily in less than a minute.
"Useless stuff."
The girlfriend grimaced with a cold face.
……
Three days after the Rice 2S Moss co-branded model went on sale, users received express packages one after another.
In office buildings and on college campuses, influencers and bloggers began to show off the new gadgets in their hands.
"Moss, help me call my girlfriend."
"Moss, switch the role of study counselor, tell me how to solve this problem?"
"Moss, what's the weather like next week?"
"Moss, can you talk to me? I'm so lonely. ”
“……”
Moss Intelligent Speech System Version 1.0, despite having an IQ of only seven or eight years old, has a massive knowledge store.
Especially after switching to "psychological counselor", it has become the best tool to accompany the elderly, depression groups, and children.
"Thank you Future Technology, thank you Rice Company, my grandfather has Alzheimer's disease, and after having Moss, the old man has one more person to chat with."
There are fans who share it on social media.
"It is highly recommended that if you have children at home, you must prepare a rice 2S Moss version of the mobile phone, open a learning counselor role, and you can get rid of the trouble of tutoring."
Moms and dads also praised it, and the headaches in the past were easily solved by Moss.
Rice 2S Moss co-branded model, at the end of November, sold 1 million units again, compared to Moss audio, its display screen, more precious.
After switching the form masters, white-collar workers can easily get the weekly meeting form.
After switching e-commerce operations, low-level migrant workers can play with the activity plan.
……
Some fervent Moss fans are increasingly suspicious that there are more characters in the future of technology that are not yet open.
"You really wronged me."
Chen Hayu saw these comments and said that he was very innocent.
The character development of the domestic version has long been stopped by him, and the research institute is making every effort to promote the system development and character development of the international version.
It is expected that there will be more than 100 roles on the line, and he does not dare to let go of himself in China, for fear of affecting the employment rate and being beaten as a live target.
……
"Section Chief Cui, can you tell me why Huaguo's shipments fell by a full 8 points last month? Are you a piece of waste? ”
The man who was high up asked in a deep voice, he was Park Changchan, the senior minister of Samheung Dahwa District.
Wearing a luxurious high-end suit, he was looking at Cui Youzhen opposite in annoyance at the moment.
The other party's ability to do things made him very dissatisfied, and he fell by 8 points in a month, and if he couldn't find a reasonable reason, he would inevitably be reprimanded by the Goryeo headquarters.
"I'm sorry, Minister Park, I've already found out the reason, it's that the sales of the Rice 2S increased by 1.5 million units last month."
Cui Youzhen bit her lip, for fear of being held accountable by her boss, and explained in a panic.
"Aciba, you imbeciles, this month, I want to take back market share, no matter what method I use."
Park Changchan is a bald man in his fifties, with greasy horizontal flesh on his face, and under the anger, he exudes a trembling majesty.
Cui Youzhen nodded, forgot to report even the "Moss voice", and escaped from the office after being busy.
How to increase market share?
There are many ways to increase the shipment of low-end machines, or directly reduce prices, add gifts, and enlarge online inventory.
Cui Youzhen is full of confidence.
Rice, a newcomer in the mobile phone industry, officially challenged Sanxing!
