Wei Qingfan didn’t remember exactly when the Samsung note series was released, but he had been worried for so long that Samsung didn’t “be the first” to release the Samsung note. Instead, it announced the launch conference on the afternoon of the second day after the release of the upcoming wine. It was obvious that there was something wrong.
Affected by the release of the upcoming wine.
So, a ridiculous but reasonable scene happened:
Today, he saw relevant media reports that he had not "said hello to", as well as comments that were clearly made by trolls. The biggest criticism of the launch of the mobile phone was that "the screen is too big."
Several Xiaomi executives came out to express their irritability. Some fans commented, "Xiaomi must not make a mobile phone with such a large screen." One executive replied sternly: "Don't worry, our product managers and executives have no brains."
Water in”.
The implication is that Gushici Company has obviously lost its mind by releasing such a mobile phone.
In addition, there are also comments such as "iPhone 4s still uses a 3.5-inch screen, so 3.5-inch is the perfect mobile phone size."
When Samsung's poster, which clearly revealed the selling point of large screens, came out, although such sounds did not disappear, they were significantly reduced.
It can be seen that although Samsung's status in the mobile phone industry is far inferior to that of Apple, at least domestically, it is undoubtedly still a "international first-class brand" and its influence is still top-notch.
The product has not been released yet. Although a poster is not enough to shut up everyone, it actually reduces a lot of "public opinion pressure" on Jiangjinjiu Mobile.
However, Apple's influence is superior after all, so some media still publish articles intermittently, but the tone has changed from pure criticism to a discussion with a certain tendency.
Even those who are still criticizing are firmly targeting the Gushijiujiu mobile phone and will never expand it.
In addition to the screen, another area that has been criticized is the naming.
"What is the name of the mobile phone? The purpose is to make it easier for everyone to remember and distinguish it. Is it interesting to engage in patriotic propaganda?"
"According to this theory, even if there are letters on the back of the weapons and fighter planes, they are not as good as your generals?"
"The most important thing about a product is the product itself, so be practical..."
Someone was obviously pushing behind the scenes. After discovering that the "big screen" was not easy to attack, they began to quickly turn around and set the pace in terms of naming.
In addition, voices such as "The mute button is copied from Apple", "The round button is copied from Apple", "Isn't the round button from Samsung?" began to increase rapidly.
After the 10th, as the official sales date of Jiang Jin Liquor approached, the number of reservations had stabilized to "only" 210,000. Words such as "The sales of Gu Shi Jiang Jin Liquor were sluggish" and "Wei Qingfan's rash venture was frustrated" quickly appeared on the Internet.
Title of the article report.
Anyway, although you haven't started selling, I will first label you as "cold" and "frustrated".
People have a herd mentality. If a mobile phone does not sell well, for the public who do not understand it, they will naturally have the subconscious impression that "this mobile phone is not good".
These were expected situations. Wei Qingfan did not find it surprising, nor did he care about it. On the contrary, Li Miao spoke very softly. She read these news after class every day, and angrily posted these words to the group.
People "have holes in their brains".
While she was angry, she still wanted to watch. Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi funnyly tried to persuade her not to watch, but she didn't listen. Sometimes she would say, "When the wine is sold out, let's see what these people say!"
A feeling of looking forward to my husband using his strength and facts to slap the villain in the face.
Wei Qingfan's impression of the first-generation Samsung Note is already vague, so he is still looking forward to the press conference. However, it is a pity that Samsung's press conference was not broadcast live online, and he could not go to watch the press conference live, so he had to regret it.
Abandoned the idea of watching in real time.
Fortunately, Samsung placed the first-generation Note in China and paid more attention to the promotion in the mainland. On the day after the press conference, a summary of the first-generation Note and even an experience article were posted online.
Wei Qingfan quickly outlined the specific information of Samsung’s first generation Note through these articles and pictures:
5.3-inch 16:10 ratio screen, resolution 1280x800, the same level of ppi as Jiangjinjiu, but it is an OLED screen, it is damaged, and the actual display effect is not as good as Jiangjinjiu;
Equipped with Samsung's own exynos4210 dual-core processor, clocked at 1.4ghz; rear 8-megapixel camera, front-facing 2-megapixel camera, 1g of running memory, and 16g of body storage;
All plastic body, removable back cover, battery capacity 2500 mAh, body measurements 146.8x82.9x9.6, weight 178.
After reading this information, the first reaction in his mind was:
That's it?
In terms of product strength comparison, there is absolutely no problem in making a tie with the thin Samsung Note. Samsung’s advantage lies in its detachable and replaceable battery and its own stylus, which is very important to many people who are new to smartphones.
The people are very friendly and writing by hand is more intuitive.
However, drinking wine also has huge advantages:
The first is the battery capacity, which is one of the main selling points!
Second is the texture. In order to increase the battery capacity, the phone adopts an integrated body. The back shell cannot be removed, but it also brings better texture and a thinner body, only 8.9 mm.
The weight is a bit heavier, but that’s not necessarily a disadvantage. Many people feel that it’s slightly heavier and feels more secure, and the better texture is enough to offset this disadvantage.
The most important thing is that the starting price of Samsung note is: 5999!
5999!!!
That’s twice the amount of wine you’ll drink!
Wei Qingfan, who was a little nervous at first, finally felt at ease after reading the information in the note.
Although they are all aimed at the high-end market, and higher-priced mobile phones will be more respectable when put out, we are not fools:
The mobile phone I bought for 6,000 yuan is similar to the mobile phone I bought for 3,000 yuan. Do you think you have a lot of face?
At least in the domestic market, the sales volume of Jiangjin Wine should not be worse than that of Samsung Note!
Before leaving get off work, the company's senior management and the marketing department held a brief meeting to discuss their views on Samsung Note.
"Samsung, that's normal. After three months, the price will be the same as ours."
After Zhang Yuanping curled his lips, he expressed his disdain without any concealment, "There are two generations of S series, how can we not dive?"
"It shows that their profits are high."
Li Pingguang sighed, "Our cost is nearly 2,000, while other people's costs are at most 1,500! It's probably less than that!"
Tang Tingyue said: "There is no way. The screen, memory, and processor are all made by us, so the cost is of course lower."
"Step by step."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "At least our biggest opponent has appeared, and he hasn't put too much pressure on us."
Xu Shengyuan, who appears as the president of Guci Mobile, said: "I wonder if Xiaomi and Meizu will follow suit and release large-screen mobile phones."
"Probably not. The two companies' fundamentals haven't been stabilized yet, so they probably won't release a large-screen series so soon."
Li Pingguang thought about it and expressed his judgment, "Unless we and Samsung really change the market with smartphones and large screens become popular, they may follow suit and produce products."
Tang Tingyue agreed: "I think so too. They only have one main product every year, so they shouldn't take risks."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "It seems like we are taking risks."
Tang Tingyue said this, which naturally had a certain meaning of admonishment. Wei Qingfan solved it with a joke, and everyone laughed along with him regardless of whether they thought it was funny or not.
if not?
Wang Qinggen said: "I took a look at the billboard yesterday. It was quite clear, but the effect didn't seem that good. I stopped for a while and not many people saw it."
Li Pingguang smiled and said: "Those who have already bought mobile phones and those who are planning to buy mobile phones can see it."
Lin Ting nodded and said: "The overall feedback on the offline advertisement is pretty good. There are also many fans discussing it online. After seeing the advertisement, they even took pictures and posted them online."
"This is a long-term investment and construction process."
Wei Qingfan also joined in, "Offline advertising is not only about products, but also about brand building. My girlfriend sent me a message yesterday saying she saw the advertisement."
The others glanced at him, but no one asked "Which girlfriend?" They tacitly shifted the topic to the advertising effect, such as "I saw it" and "Who told me..."
Jiang Jinjiu has not been officially sold yet, so everyone is still unsure, but at this time, Samsung Note was released, which also has a 5.3-inch large screen. In a sense, it reassured many people in the company who were originally worried.
few.
This is a road to explore the future. You will definitely feel uneasy on your own, but having a companion will naturally make you feel more at ease.
What’s more, it’s Samsung.
At the same time, they believe that many people within Samsung will feel the same way.
The success of Guci mobile phone proves the superb vision of Gushici Company and Wei Qingfan. Wei Qingfan thinks that large-screen mobile phones are the future...at least it shows that Samsung Note's exploration of the large-screen market will not be bleak, right?
The girlfriends Wei Qingfan mentioned here actually include both.
Li Wanyi had posted the billboards at roadside bus stops a long time ago, and Li Miaoyu saw them yesterday when she and Wang Jinjin were shopping. She was very excited and sent them. This was the first time she saw an advertisement for a mobile phone with ancient poetry around her.
.
At the same time, the feedback from some friends and business partners who are using the Jiangjinjiu mobile phone also makes Wei Qingfan very confident about the sales of the Jiangjinjiu mobile phone - at least the reputation!
After returning home from get off work, Li Wanyi and Li Miaoyu quickly discovered that he was in a good mood. Wei Qingfan talked about the confidence that Samsung Note gave him.
"In other words, Samsung sells a mobile phone similar to Jiang Jinjiu for 6,000?"
Li Wanyi understood the reason, but rolled her eyes at him, "Then you still feel happy? Shouldn't you feel ashamed? Why is the same mobile phone not even as good as ours? We can only sell it for 3,000, while others can sell it for 6,000?"
Li Miaoyu originally wanted to praise Wei Qingfan's conscience and "Samsung is too bad". Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "Yes, our family sells mobile phones now. We can't just stand on the side of consumers."
Look at the problem from the perspective of..."
She muttered, stood up straight and glared at Wei Qingfan, "Did you hear that? Think about it quickly and try to sell it for 6,000 as soon as possible!"
"If you sell it for 6,000 now, you probably don't want the ancient poetry company to close down soon!"
Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes, "You have to eat one bite at a time. Don't worry, we will sell the phone to 6,000 yuan in a short time... Of course, the product will be strong enough to keep up."
Li Miaoyu blinked and then hesitated: "Isn't it too expensive?"
"Even if we don't sell it for 6,000, there will always be people who spend 6,000 to buy a mobile phone!"
Li Wanyi saw this very clearly and explained seriously, "It's just like standing firm on the high-end, because the high-end market is there. If we don't eat, we will be eaten by others... Just don't forget to make 2,000, 1,000 mobile phones."
That’s fine.”
"Yeah, she is indeed a strong woman. She has a far-sighted vision than me..."
Perhaps because Li Wanyi's wedding date has been decided, Li Miaoyu has occasionally started to be angry with her recently, and Li Wanyi doesn't get used to it, and slaps her to deal with her.
Li Miaoyu, who was choosing vegetables, jumped up and ran very skillfully, begging for mercy as he ran.
Wei Qingfan calmly picked up the celery she dropped, took it and patted the non-existent soil, and continued to select the leaves for frying.
Outside, Li Miaoyu has successfully changed from begging for mercy to acting coquettishly. This kind of daily life makes Wei Qingfan sometimes have the illusion that the two women around him are not "close as sisters", but are really sisters, and they are also "eldest sisters as mothers"
