Chapter 89: Responding with Telepathic Communication!
"What about the fruit over there..."
"The two sides are not in the same price range for the time being." Wang Jianzhou stubbed out another cigarette, a ruthless look on his face, and then stubbed out yet another cigarette.
"Apply to the fruit company to increase publicity efforts and launch the product nationwide. Stop with the 'gradually arriving market' nonsense; if we keep doing this, the whole company will have already taken it all."
"Every damn thing we can sell is a piece of cake."
With these words containing extremely high levels of maternal information, the meeting officially ended.
Looking at the huge chrysanthemum logo outside the window, Wang Jianzhou suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
The pace of development at Huawei is too fast.
He recalled that a few months ago, most of the GG logos on this site were Nokia or Samsung, but now they are mostly giant chrysanthemum logos.
Looking at these GGs, he suddenly remembered what Steve Jobs said at the negotiating table: "Most users don't know what they want until you put it in front of them."
In addition, he believed that monks from other places were better at chanting scriptures, so he agreed to this condition.
The market seems to be voting with its feet: "What they need isn't some unattainable 'miracle device,' but rather products that understand consumer needs."
The phone rang again; it was the secretary calling: "Mr. Wang, it's the head of the fruit company's China region calling."
They questioned why our sales data hadn't been synchronized with headquarters yet.
Wang Jian hung up the phone immediately and threw it on the table next to him.
A huge crack instantly appeared on the screen of the iPhone 3Gs. At that moment, he truly felt that his 150 billion bet might really be going down the drain.
Even more frightening is that this seems to be just the beginning.
…………
Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters. A strategic meeting is also being held in the strategic conference room.
The large screen displays two columns of data. On the left is the sales volume of the fruit on the first day of its arrival in China: 2787 units sold, with a return rate as high as 8.2%.
Online reviews are polarized, with die-hard fans hailing it as a marvel, claiming it crushes everything and is truly worthy of being a smartphone made by Apple, superior to other products.
However, many consumers complained that the system lacked WiFi, had poor localization, and was relatively expensive, and that it wasn't much better than the Mate series in terms of system performance.
On the right is the data for Huawei's Mate series: 275 million units, with daily growth still around 5 units.
While the user satisfaction rate wasn't 100%, it still reached an astonishing 91.7%.
The core teams from Transsion and Huawei were sitting in the conference room. After all, Huawei's sales volume was related to China's market share, and Shen Fei decided to clear up some minor issues for them.
"So this is how fruit sells in China. I thought it was a big fish in the ocean, but it turns out it's just a small fry."
Seeing that the product designed by Steve Jobs had not been able to compete with the Mate series, Yu Chengdong's face was also full of pride.
"They are too arrogant! Our product is primarily for serving users, but they still act superior. Failure is inevitable."
"Mr. Yu, don't be too happy yet. There's definitely something we can learn from the fruit industry."
Seeing them having such a lively discussion, Shen Fei didn't say much.
With such a large difference in sales, it's normal to feel a bit proud, but this should be kept within limits.
After discussing for a while, Shen Fei slammed his hand on the table!
"What's wrong? You've been selling for so long ahead of schedule, and you've only sold a little over 270 million units. Are you proud of that?"
Shen Fei looked at Yu Dazui with a serious expression. The excitement on their faces immediately disappeared, replaced by expressions of being scolded.
"This sales figure is indeed very good, but the cumulative sales of the Apple 3Gs worldwide have exceeded 1800 million units. You haven't even caught up with a fraction of theirs. Everyone is so arrogant."
If we actually make it that time, wouldn't that be... like heaven itself?
"No, that won't happen." Yu Dazui understood that Shen Fei was giving them a warning, so he quietly chimed in.
Seeing that Shen Fei did not continue to scold him, he continued to interject, "President Shen, we are belittling him in words, but taking him seriously in strategy."
That was just to lighten the mood; we know perfectly well how the fruit is.
You can rest assured.
"Honor's testing has ended, and we are working quickly to start stocking up."
Upon receiving this answer, Shen Fei merely rolled his eyes at Yu Dazui before continuing his conversation.
"As you just discussed, fruit is a catfish."
The smartphone market will be instantly activated, and more consumers will realize: Oh, so this is how you can use a mobile phone.
While we can achieve this effect, it's nowhere near as effective as using fruit.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They can certainly use Google AdSense and pricing to get smartphones into a wider market, but in this era, usability and reliability are what truly matter.
But more importantly: the saying "foreign monks chant better sutras" is more reliable.
Changing their minds is extremely difficult; it takes at least several years of gradual influence.
"Yes, they are catfish and sharks."
"If they gain a foothold and establish an iOS ecosystem, then our Taishan ecosystem will probably be in a very difficult position," Huang Tianya said.
The ecological issue immediately gained attention, and discussions began.
Seeing that everyone was indeed not arrogant, Shen Fei directly pointed out the problem with the Apple phone: "Fortunately, Steve Jobs was too arrogant. He thought that all consumers would unconditionally accept his perfect product."
But sometimes his perfect product is actually a reaction-based one.
This first launch of the product, aside from its die-hard fans, actually led to a doubling of sales for our Mate series.
Yu Dazui continued, "What President Shen said is correct."
Furthermore, since they went public, we have also identified three important issues.
It's the WiFi problem everyone's talking about right now. 3G data plans are so expensive in China these days, who wants to keep using mobile data?
At this point, a look of heartache appeared on Yu Dazui's face.
This isn't just him putting on an act; it really is expensive.
There's a popular post on Baidu Tieba complaining about this: I accidentally fell asleep while scrolling through my phone at night. The next morning, three thugs came to tell me that the house belonged to them.
"Secondly, most of the high-quality apps on the App Store are paid, but due to regulatory issues in China, many apps cannot be launched."
at last……"
Yu Dazui took out two Mate phones and gently placed them on the table: "They're too expensive. At 4999 yuan, that's enough to buy two of our phones."
A few soft laughs echoed in the conference room.
"But we cannot underestimate our opponent." Shen Fei emphasized again: "The smoothness of the industrial design system for fruit, brand value (remote farming)... these are all real advantages."
If Jobs realizes this, he might create a special edition for China…
[Steve Jobs: My designs are beautiful, they'll get used to them.]
