Chapter 420: A big fight for thousand-yuan phones! Zhang Chaoyang: You have such a sweet mouth, I don’t even want to pay attention to you!
In the next three days, the sales of Orange E1 continued to rise, with daily sales exceeding 100,000 units.
However, the production capacity of the Orange Fan Factory could not keep up with the market demand, and the spot goods were quickly converted to pre-sales, with the delivery cycle even extended to one month later.
Dai Zhanhong urgently purchased production lines and recruited front-line operators. It was the first time he discovered that doing business was so simple.
The popularity of Orange E1 far exceeded his imagination.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that with Chen Yansen's ability, the motor designed by him personally, coupled with solid materials, excellent appearance design and a strong sales network, it is normal to achieve such sales results.
In the first week of its launch, a total of 761,000 units were sold with sales of 124.043 million yuan. The delivery date of the last order was scheduled for June 25.
Considering the user experience, Chen Yansen took the initiative to contact Jin Junhua, chairman of Luzhou Royalstar Electric Appliances.
The two had met once before at a drinking party in Luzhou Prefecture, where Xu Minggang hosted a banquet.
After listening to Chen Yansen's OEM needs, Jin Junhua readily agreed and agreed to take over some OEM orders for the Orange Fan Factory.
Chen Yansen was also quite helpless: we can't really let users wait until July or August to receive the goods, after all, most of the summer will have passed by then.
The user might be able to wait, but he can't.
Royalstar Electric just happens to have several production lines in Luzhou that meet the production needs of Orange electric fans.
If it were someone else, Jin Junhua would never agree, but Chen Yansen was different.
Last year, Royalstar’s online channel sales increased by 26% year-on-year. He knew very well that this was all thanks to the 10 billion subsidy channel of Pinbei Mall.
He could choose not to help, but Jin Junhua changed his mind and thought that Chen Yansen was known for his vengeance. If the other party bore a grudge, Royalstar would never be able to obtain additional traffic support from Pinbei in the future.
Therefore, behind Jin Junhua's seemingly generous appearance, there is both helplessness and calculation.
The reason why Chen Yansen looked for him was because he thought Jin Junhua was easy to control.
If you go to brands like Midea, Gree, and Airmate, you may end up being rejected.
at the same time.
Lei Yijun couldn't wait to announce the date of Xiaomi's new product launch conference on Weibo. It is scheduled for May 28 and the venue is still 798 Art Center.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Hongyi released nine high-definition pictures of the 360 F1, and wrote: "Tomorrow at 10 am, the 360 F1 will be on sale in limited quantities at 360 and Pinbei Mall, priced at 899 yuan!"
The specific configuration parameters are in the ninth picture. It has a MediaTek MT6589 quad-core 1.2GHz processor and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU, which can meet the needs of light games such as "Angry Birds" and "Temple Run".
1GB RAM plus 4GB ROM, supports MicroSD card, expandable up to 32GB, 4.7-inch IPS touch screen, 13-megapixel rear camera, and 2-megapixel front camera.
Dual SIM dual standby, uses a polycarbonate back cover, and is equipped with Aurora Future 1.0 system or Aurora OS 1.6 version.
Compared with Qingcheng D2, 360 F1 has made some subtractions but optimized the performance of the rear camera.
Of course, the price is also 100 yuan higher, but the price of 899 yuan still attracted a large number of users.
Set the alarm and prepare to participate in the shopping spree tomorrow.
Although the Qingcheng D2 has a higher cost-effectiveness, to put it bluntly, Orange phones are not gold or Huayuan, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
360 F1 naturally has its own living space.
Zhou Hongyi's tone was full of provocation.
Lei Yijun clicked on the configuration introduction picture of 360 F1 and couldn't help but snorted coldly. Compared with his Redmi 1, 360 F1 was slightly inferior in terms of price and processor.
Except for the 13-megapixel rear camera, Redmi 1 is the winner.
For users of thousand-yuan phones, it doesn’t matter if the camera is a little worse, the price must be cheap.
Is the 799 yuan Redmi 1 afraid it can't beat the 360 F1?
What's more, Redmi 1 is equipped with the Aurora Future 1.0 system. Compared with Zhou Hongyi's "playing both sides", Lei Yijun made a big bet this time and fully supported Orange Technology's self-developed system.
Seeing that he was understanding, Chen Yansen returned the favor and used his status as a major shareholder of Dongfang and Desay Battery to help Lei Yijun reduce material costs to 520 yuan.
In fact, taking into account the production, transportation, after-sales and sales costs, Xiaomi does not even have a 5% hardware gross profit.
The bulk of the profits went to Orange Technology!
Lei Yijun knew it very well, but there was nothing he could do. With Xiaomi's shipment volume, it could not get the supply price from Orange Technology at all.
The difference in power of speech in front of suppliers is huge when purchasing volumes are several million pieces a year versus tens of millions of pieces a year.
Let Zhou Hongyi show off for a few more days!
Wait until Redmi 1 is released, then I’ll give him a hard slap in the face!
Lei Yijun narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
Seeing that Lei Yijun had no reaction, netizens couldn't help but ask in his comment area: "Mr. Lei, Zhou Dapao has released a new phone, don't you have anything to say?"
"Mr. Lei, can Xiaomi win this time?"
"Please say something! If you don't respond, Master Zhou's one-man show won't go on."
There are many people adding fuel to the fire.
When I saw the two of them arguing with each other online, I felt a little disgusted.
Now that the two have stopped scolding each other, netizens have begun to miss them.
Lei Yijun didn't even bother to read the comment section, and he definitely didn't say a word before Redmi 1 was launched.
The other side.
Seeing that Lei Yijun did not accept the challenge, Zhou Hongyi immediately became puzzled. Based on his understanding of Lei Yijun, he would never swallow his anger. Is he editing a long article?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhou became very excited, thinking about how to respond in order to increase the heat.
To his surprise, there was no movement on Lei Yijun’s Weibo and Toutiao accounts until midnight.
Zhou Hongyi, whose plan failed, thought for a moment and then simply called out to the man by name: "Boss Lei, don't you want to compare sales? Are you scared?"
Then, he waited for another half an hour, but there was still no response from Lei Yijun. Even Li Wanqiang, who always had a bad temper, had no reaction.
Is he really a coward?
Zhou Hongyi wondered.
He doesn't know much about Xiaomi's new products.
But he knew that Chen Yansen must be aware of it. Zhou Hongyi had tried to probe him, but Chen Yansen didn't reveal a single word.
Instead of being angry, Lao Zhou was very happy.
Because this means that Chen Yansen is a person who knows how to relax and work well. If the other party is unwilling to disclose Xiaomi's product information, he will naturally not disclose the commercial information of 360 mobile phones to Xiaomi.
Zhou Hongyi was very satisfied with this.
The next day, May 26, 360 F1 went on sale on time, and the first batch of 100,000 units was sold out in just over 9 hours.
Including 10,000 360 F1s with Aurora Future OS.
The success of 360 F1 once again proves a truth: a smartphone costing a few hundred yuan can win the favor of the market as long as it has a large screen, clear photos, smooth operation and no lag.
Simple and crude, no need for too many fancy techniques.
At 8 o'clock that evening, after the spot link of 360 F1 was taken off the shelves, the pre-sale link was put back online within less than a minute.
Users placed orders crazily, and a total of 144,000 units were sold on the first day of the launch. Although it cannot be compared with the Qingcheng D2, this sales volume is enough to allow 360 Mobile Phone to easily rank among the top ten in the national smartphone shipment list in 2013.
The next morning, Chen Yansen led Gao Weilin, Meng Yun, Song Yuncheng and others to Yanjing to attend the 2013 Global Mobile Internet Conference and also took the opportunity to attend Xiaomi's new product launch conference.
After all, Redmi 1 is the world's second smartphone fully equipped with the Aurora Future OS system. For the sake of the ecological layout of its own products, Chen Yansen also has to support Lei Yijun.
As for what Zhou Hongyi thinks, he doesn't care.
Every time Lao Zhou boasted on the Internet that "Chen Yansen is my close friend", Chen Yansen never denied it, but he also never directly admitted it.
In his opinion, if measured by Lao Zhou's standards, he would have at least 480 close friends in the circle, if not 500.
Of course, if 360 F1 uses the Aurora Future OS system like Redmi 1, it might not be impossible to have an online interaction with Lao Zhou.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, shortly after the plane landed, Zhang Chaoyang took Chen Yansen to his private plane, and then went straight to Tianjin Port, and the group went out for sea fishing by boat.
"I have everything arranged for the evening. Let's go catch some sea fish first, go to Jingzhao Prefecture first, and then go to the bar..."
Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.
Chen Yansen let out a long sigh and nodded helplessly in agreement.
His journey was seamless.
From Xucheng to Bohai Bay, my feet hardly touched the ground.
"We've been playing too hard lately. Do the higher-ups have any objections?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
"Do you understand? Once you become too big, there will be people who want to suppress you. Baidu is a lesson for us." Zhang Chaoyang pointed out meaningfully.
"So, Sohu has never been able to succeed? Is it because you don't want to?"
Chen Yansen asked back.
Zhang Chaoyang's face froze and he turned his head away unnaturally. He really didn't want to talk to Chen Yansen.
Is it that I don't want to?
You think I haven't tried it, but Sohu has done a terrible job in the social and e-commerce sectors.
He wishes someone would suppress Sohu, but no one cares!
