The settlement was just completed yesterday, and today Pei Qian is already full of fighting spirit and preparing to start the next cycle of losing money.
Of course, the main reason is because he has stayed at home for a week during the Spring Festival holiday and has had a good rest. In addition, his personal wealth has reached a new peak, so Pei Qian can be so active.
Today Pei Qian plans to go to OTTO Technology first.
The previous OTTO Technology was mainly responsible for two main tasks: first, the new system for OTTO mobile phones, including better linear animation, photography algorithm of the imaging laboratory, AEEIS intelligent assistant, etc.; secondly, it made a fully automatic intelligent bar lifter and sold it.
Not bad.
But for Chang You, the results of his previous work were definitely not satisfactory to him.
You know, OTTO Technology has already made OTTO E1, a popular mobile phone brand, which sold very well and created a certain degree of popularity.
This mobile phone was positioned as a high-end phone from the beginning, so its success is all the more commendable.
After all, if most mobile phone manufacturers want to hit the high-end, they must slowly increase prices, slowly pile up materials, and slowly accumulate reputation. It may take several models and several years to slowly establish the status of flagship phones.
The price level is high, and if there is a problem in the middle step, all the efforts may be wasted.
OTTO mobile phones have stood firmly at the high end from the beginning, which is equivalent to standing at the end of many mobile phone brands since they were born.
Don’t worry about the sales volume, as long as you can make money and some people buy it, that’s enough!
For a newly established mobile phone brand, it is impossible to expect more.
Therefore, Chang You is very eager to go further and achieve greater success.
Pei Qian also knew this very well, so he kept pressuring Chang You and asked him to work on both the imaging laboratory and the system. He did not issue a new mobile phone for a whole year.
Now that Pei Qian's tasks for OTTO Technology have been completed, he must assign new tasks to Chang You.
If Pei Qian leaves it alone, Changyou will definitely carry out subsequent development according to his own judgment. With the success of OTTO E1, he will probably make a lot of money.
Therefore, Pei Qian must set up a task and mislead Chang You's thinking, so that OTTO Technology's new product must not succeed!
…
"Mr. Pei, you are here!"
Chang You welcomed Pei Qian into the conference room with a smug expression on his face.
Obviously, Chang You has been waiting for Mr. Pei's arrival to arrange new tasks for OTTO Technology.
He couldn't wait to show off his talents.
Pei Qian sat down in the conference room, and Chang You sat down opposite with a small box.
"Mr. Pei, this is the customized mouse you told us before. The sample has been made."
"Oh? Oh." Pei Qian reached out and took it, and then he remembered that he had arranged for Chang You to make this gadget before.
Strictly speaking, this is not a product of OTTO Technology, it is just a small peripheral made by Party A through a foundry.
The main reason is that after the research and development of the fully automatic intelligent bar lifting machine was completed, Pei Qian had to find something for OTTO Technology to do, so as to prevent them from having nothing to do and doing random research and causing new accidents.
Because this matter was relatively trivial, Pei Qian didn't take it to heart at all and almost forgot about it. Now that Chang You took out the finished product, Pei Qian remembered it.
Open the box and there is a standard size mouse lying inside.
From the appearance point of view, this mouse is pure white, with an LED light strip in the center, which looks more technological.
Chang You said: "Mr. Pei, let me introduce its functions to you."
"This is the 'never overtime mouse' you want. During working hours, it can be used normally just like other wireless mice. Moreover, it has a built-in lithium battery instead of ordinary AA or AA batteries.
More durable.”
"In addition to having a longer battery life and having a certain counterweight function, lithium batteries also have a crucial point, which is that they can provide stronger and more abundant power for the mouse!"
"Once you get off-duty, it changes into another shape, like this."
Chang You said, adjusting it on his mobile phone.
Then, the mouse placed on the conference table suddenly changed its shape!
The LED light strip on its back changed from blue to red, and a small tail stretched out from the end. The left and right buttons on the front were originally properly covered on the mouse, but now they stand upright, like the two legs of a mouse.
Only small ears.
"No one can catch it in this form."
Chang You said, stretching out his hand towards the mouse on the table.
However, the moment he stretched out his hand, the mouse suddenly moved sideways irregularly and avoided Chang You's hand!
Chang You stretched out his hand again, and the mouse dodged again!
No matter how hard Chang You tried, the mouse was always one step ahead of him, flickering around on the desktop, running back and forth, left and right, and just couldn't catch it.
Obviously, there is a sensor on the back of the mouse, and there are small wheels on the bottom of the mouse. After sensing the approach of a human hand, the small wheels will move quickly to avoid it.
Chang You continued: "Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people with extraordinary talents who can catch it with lightning speed. At this time, it will start the golden cicada's shelling process, escape from the clutches, and send you an alert!"
Chang You carefully avoided the sensor on the back of the mouse, and then suddenly grabbed it!
But then, the mouse made a "click" sound, and a mechanism inside it seemed to be activated. The dark blue mouse body inside separated from the white outer shell and escaped again.
At the same time, the two small eyes on the front of the mouse began to flash red, and Chang You's cell phone placed on the table received a notification message.
Changyou adjusted the time on his mobile phone to non-working hours.
The flashing red mouse returned to normal again. Changyou put the outer shell back on, and it became the original mouse again.
"Mr. Pei, all mice bound to the APP can set working hours and monitor them in real time. You will have the highest authority."
Pei Qian was very happy: "Not bad! I am very satisfied with this thing!"
"Mass production immediately and equip all departments!"
Pei Qian didn't think so much before. He just thought that OTTO Technology could find something to do and go to a foundry to make a mouse that would prevent employees from working overtime. Unexpectedly, it was quite novel!
Although overtime work in various departments is now very rare, for Mr. Pei, it is always good to take more preventive measures.
Pei Qian put the mouse back into the box and expressed his approval for Chang You's work. Then, while drinking tea, he asked about the current situation of OTTO Technology.
Chang You said confidently: "Mr. Pei, the current overall situation of OTTO Technology is good!"
"The current sales volume of OTTO E1 mobile phone is basically negligible, and we have stopped production long ago. After all, this is a mobile phone from a year ago, and we have always adhered to the tenet of 'never lowering the price', so people who will buy it at the original price have already
Very, very few.”
"But it doesn't matter, because the previous inventory has been almost cleared, and this mobile phone can be considered to have reached the end of its life."
"The price of the mobile phone has not been reduced, although it has affected its sales at the end of its life, but it has also won us a reputation among old users. On the one hand, it is because they think the mobile phone has a good value for money, and on the other hand, it is because we have been continuously updating the system.
Make them feel valued."
“And these word-of-mouth reviews have laid a solid foundation for us to launch new mobile phones!”
"As for the smart bar lifter, it is currently selling very well. Whether it is in the field of smart speakers, sound bars, or even art and decorations, it is a very popular product."
"So, Mr. Pei, it has been a year since the E1 mobile phone was released. Is it almost time to release a new mobile phone?"
Chang You's eyes were full of expectation.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea silently and nodded reluctantly: "Well, that's almost it."
"What are your thoughts on the new mobile phone?"
Pei Qian still followed the same routine as before, first asking Chang You what he planned to do, and then guiding him in the wrong direction.
Chang You said confidently: "This is what I think, Mr. Pei."
"The OTTO E1 mobile phone can be said to be a very successful mobile phone. Although its weight and price are shortcomings, players have basically accepted these shortcomings."
"To sum up my experience, I think a very key factor is that the E1 mobile phones use relatively mature supply chain technology, so even though we are a new manufacturer, the yield rate of mobile phones is still well controlled."
“So, I think we should continue to develop the OTTO E2 mobile phone. On the basis of maintaining the characteristics of the E1 mobile phone, we should make some small updates to the mobile phone chip, camera module, etc., as long as the configuration is not lower than other flagship levels.
.”
"After all, our current market share is still very low. Our top priority is to retain our basic users, and then slowly expand to the mainstream market. It is not appropriate to sell too quickly."
Pei Qian silently shook his head: "I don't think so."
Chang You didn't expect that Mr. Pei would reject his plan so simply. He thought that he must have made some serious mistakes in judging the situation, so he hurriedly listened carefully.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said: "The key to the success of the E1 phone is that it is unexpected and unique! As soon as this phone was taken out at the press conference, it immediately impressed all consumers, so it can be the first to win and sell well.
so good."
"If we just do some regular updates, change the chip, change the camera module, although the cost will be reduced and the risk will be reduced, will it still give everyone a refreshing feeling?"
"If no one thinks it is unique and is obviously different from other mobile phones, then why would anyone buy it again?"
Chang You was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Mr. Pei said seemed very reasonable.
"Then, Mr. Pei, in your opinion...how should I make this mobile phone?"
