After all, he came from a sales background, and everyone has a few similar friends around them, so he invited a few friends out for a meal and a chat about the low-end market for rice.

It's no wonder the 80s and 90s were a golden age. With just a little brainpower, you could make a fortune. No matter the path, anyone who survived made money.

Lai Changqing pointed out at the time that since rice appliances didn't have low-end products, they would make those. After all, ordinary people know about rice, but few know what their products look like.

The flagship store only has a pitifully small number of samples. Who would bother browsing there?

This is an opening, taking advantage of the unique geographical and policy characteristics of the South China Sea.

They first transported the goods to the South China Sea, dividing them into several warehouses for on-site inspection and unpacking. If someone said they hadn't seen these models before, they would simply say they were overseas versions.

Anyway, nobody has ever seen it, it's all just talk. Even if they find the labels are different, they'll still say that the rice was produced in an overseas factory, a branch or secondary factory.

Lai Changqing's group mostly worked in electronics factories, and they also invited many master craftsmen from the factories to join them. From design to sample production, it only took a week.

The most difficult part is still the refrigerator. Because the compressor is expensive and it is difficult to source the parts, the refrigerator cannot be included in the project. I don't know who said that the vehicle compressor is also a compressor. Can it be used? If it can be used, he will contact the source.

After struggling for a week or two, it was finally managed to produce something, but the quality was questionable.

Maoshi TV Factory has a history of more than ten years. From producing 12-inch small black and white TVs in the mid-1960s to now having a complete 21-inch large color TV production line, it has never had its moment of glory. Due to problems with profitability, it has stopped production and stopped operations, and most of the workers have either changed careers or are unemployed.

Lai Changqing had a good relationship with a deputy factory director here, and after a few drinks, he brought the deputy director of the TV factory into his circle. The Maoshi TV factory started production on a small scale, but instead of using their own brand, they used the IDM brand.

Who cares about trademarks? As long as we can start work, eat, and get paid, that's all that matters.

This production line is only required to produce 21-inch large-screen TVs, and they also need to include remote controls.

It's unacceptable that a rice TV doesn't come with a remote! Those smart TVs all have voice control.

They also wanted to add voice control, but aside from turning it on and off, it was useless. In the end, the voice-controlled switch was used on the air conditioner.

Maoshi TV Factory became the main manufacturer for contract manufacturing.

Lai Changqing used the most popular settlement method at the time: settling accounts one batch at a time. Since no one had that much cash on hand, they would pay a small deposit, and once the production was complete and he had sold most of the goods, he would settle the accounts for the first batch when he ordered the second batch.

No matter how many batches of goods are ordered, there will always be one batch that is owed.

The TV factory didn't have much money on its books, and they couldn't get raw materials. So they forged a rice production authorization letter and borrowed 200,000 yuan from a local credit union.

When it comes to making a living, who isn't struggling these days? Who doesn't want to take a gamble?

Moreover, they were even more cautious, and would never admit that the product they produced was the brand of Da Mi Jia.

Our brand is called Ai Dami (Love Rice). Your rice is different from ours.

They just skirt around the edge, and even rice can't do anything about it.

Whether it's a television or washing machine factory, as long as they can operate, feed the workers, and solve the local headaches, someone will step in to argue with the rice supplier.

We've only had enough to eat for a few days, and now the rice is coming to spoil the pot. How can the locals not be furious with them?

To be honest, Xing Baohua didn't have a good solution for these borderline products. In his previous life, there were countless counterfeit and borderline products on Pinduoduo.

SONY can become SNOY.

HUAWEI can become HUAIWEI, etc.

One slip and you'll get into trouble, but if the seller has complete after-sales service, the buyer won't care whether it's Huawei or Huawei.

The lack of warranty is what leads to all sorts of disputes.

The price is what makes people fall for scams!

When Xing Baohua was making counterfeit mobile phones, he also created counterfeit versions of counterfeit products.

He only makes products based on market demand; he doesn't know whose brand they are.

It's just that they look similar; of course, what he imitates most is the 4S.

Back then, the iPhone 4, 4s, 6, 6s, and 6p sold like hotcakes!

They follow whatever the market demands.

A new iPhone 4s starts at four or five thousand yuan. Some young people want to show off but don't have the money, so they sell their kidneys. That's why it got the nickname "kidney phone".

But the emergence of counterfeit products not only makes them cheap, costing only a few hundred yuan each, but also lets you show off while saving money and maintaining a certain image. The biggest advantage, however, is that they protect your kidneys.

Therefore, Xing Baohua always felt that he had done a great deed in this matter.

During development, costs were strictly controlled, resulting in 128MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. It uses an Android 2.1 system, essentially a modified Apple logo.

The cost is less than 300 yuan, but I sell it to you for 899 yuan. Suddenly I feel much more at ease.

Aside from running a bit slower, it's no different from a genuine Apple computer costing four or five thousand.

It can still make and receive calls, send and receive text messages and MMS, and has all the necessary functions such as taking photos, making videos, and installing software.

Oh! Back then, it had a few more features than a real iPhone. One was dual SIM dual standby, another was using headphones as an antenna to receive radio signals. And its most powerful feature was using the headphone cable to receive analog TV signals.

My iPhone 4S can watch TV. Does the iPhone 4S have this function?

Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds—they have them, we have them too. It's just about timing and getting a heatwave, right?

Besides, even if I actually played this game on a mobile device, I'd only play a few rounds and then leave it aside. The game isn't very interesting, it lacks consistency, and it gets annoying after a while.
