Chapter 425: King of knockoff phones! I'll give you 500 million, and you'll sell the company to me!
Late in the night, Zhou Hongyi felt a chill in his heart when he saw Lei Yijun's Weibo. He wanted to retort, but then he thought, he didn't have the confidence now!
Let you be proud for a few days!
Zhou Hongyi sneered, then pretended to be dead, ignoring the tags and comments from Lei Yijun and netizens.
The other side.
In the magnificent hotel suite, Chen Yansen, wearing a set of Grey Wolf Cosplay costume, said to Song Yuncheng: "Mei Yangyang, when I rush into the sheep village, I will eat you first!"
"Then if you eat me, you can't eat Pleasant Goat anymore."
Song Yuncheng fiddled with the pink bow on her head and blinked her eyes, cooperating with Mr. Chen's special little hobby.
"I have to see your performance first." Chen Yansen said with a wicked smile.
Although he had to rush to the conference center to attend the Mobile Internet Conference in a few hours, Mr. Chen was very interested and not sleepy at all.
at the same time.
Nicai Group Headquarters.
Lu Hongbo was sitting in a luxuriously decorated office with a sad expression on his face.
The launch of Qingcheng D2, 360 F1 and Redmi 1 had a huge impact on the sales of Nicai mobile phones.
The Nicai S700, which is also priced at 799 yuan, has no sales even in the rural market.
After all, users are not stupid. Although the screen of the Nicai S700 is large, it has serious lag problems and the system and hardware compatibility is extremely poor. It cannot be compared with the quality models of big manufacturers such as the Qingcheng D2.
Although the 399-yuan Nicai A300 was not greatly affected, it still had many after-sales problems.
The RAM is 256MB and the storage is 512MB. You can only use this thing for a week, after that it will be like a brick.
There is only one word left to describe user experience - stuck!
Although the space occupied by apps in 2013 has not yet reached the exaggerated level of tens of GB, it still takes several hundred MB.
The most distressing thing is that in order to earn installation fees, Lu Hongbo also built-in three softwares, namely Phoenix News, Website Directory and Qingting FM, which cannot be uninstalled.
In other words, the actual available memory for the user is only 160MB.
It is normal if it gets stuck, it is abnormal if it doesn’t!
Last year, Nicai's national shipments were 8 million units, with sales of 2.4 billion yuan. This year's shipments have shrunk significantly. With only one month left in the first half of the year, it has only sold more than 2 million units in total.
At the current sales rate, this year's shipments will be 3 million less.
"Chen Yansen! Zhou Hongyi! Lei Yijun! You all deserve to die!"
Lu Hongbo cursed.
“Knock, knock, knock—!”
At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Lu Hongbo leaned back and responded impatiently.
Yang Rui, the person in charge of offline channels at Nicai and former general manager of NetEase South China, pushed the door open, looked at Lu Hongbo and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you not off work yet?"
"Redmi 1 sold nearly 500,000 units a day. How can I sleep well?"
Lu Hongbo was born a coal boss, and he really wanted to bury Chen Yansen and the other two in a mine.
Yang Rui smiled awkwardly, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Lu Hongbo.
He switched from NetEase to Nicai, of course not to promote the development of China's mobile phone industry, but the coal boss in front of him offered too much.
"Mr. Lu, actually we don't need to care about Orange, 360 and Xiaomi at all. Anyway, the price range above 500 yuan is not the main battlefield of Nicai." Yang Rui persuaded.
"What if that bastard Chen Yansen launches another 399 yuan mobile phone in the second half of the year?" Lu Hongbo asked with a dark face.
Seeing that Yang Rui didn't say anything, he continued to ask, "And Nicai will go back to making feature phones?"
Lu Hongbo is afraid that Chen Yansen will kill him!
"We have more than 6,000 factory stores across the country. In terms of offline channels, Orange, 360 and Xiaomi cannot compare. It is extremely difficult for them to expand their sales network to the rural market in a short period of time."
Yang Rui thought for a while and said.
"Don't forget, Yunsu Express Service Station also sells mobile phones. Damn it, go find some people and burn down two service stations to teach Chen Yansen a lesson."
Lu Hongbo said with narrowed eyes.
Set fire to the store?
Let me go?
Yang Rui couldn't help but curse in his heart: If you want to send me in to operate the sewing machine, just say so.
Arson is a felony!
"Mr. Lu, calm down! Let me tell you something unpleasant. With Nicai's production capacity and supply chain level, you can only make quick money for three or four years at most. The market changes too fast."
Yang Rui put away his smile and told the truth.
What this means is, does an electronic waste like Ni Cai really want to make money for the rest of his life?
When it comes to copycats, Ni Cai is the strongest among the strong.
Just looking at the appearance of the phone, it is hard to tell the difference between Nikon and Apple.
Lu Hongbo started his business by plagiarizing, and he didn't let go of any of them, from Shanxing to Apple.
In Nicai's factory store, you can find a knockoff of the iPhone 4S for 399 yuan, and a replacement for the Sanxing Gaishi Ping for 499 yuan.
"What do you think? Should we make a replica of the Qingcheng D2?" Lu Hongbo asked again.
He had just thought about it for a long time alone, and this was one of the plans.
"Yunsu Express has more than 100,000 employees across the country. Liao Wei comes from the traditional freight industry. I think he should try not to provoke Senlian Capital."
Yang Rui said patiently.
His subtext is that if you play dirty and shady games, boss, you may not be a match for Liao Wei.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. According to you, Ni Cai can only wait to die?" Lu Hongbo retorted unhappily.
"Mr. Lu, I have studied Chen Yansen's strategic direction. If he uses more than 6,000 factory stores as a bargaining chip, I think he will not reject Nicai's cooperation proposal. Chen Yansen is willing to accept even outsiders like 360 and NetEase. As long as you are willing to take a step forward, Nicai will be able to board the big ship of Senlian Capital."
Yang Rui pointed out a clear path for Lu Hongbo.
"You want me to follow Chen Yansen?" Lu Hongbo stretched his head and asked in disbelief.
"Lei Yijun, Zhou Hongyi, and Ding Lei also followed Chen Yansen."
Yang Rui replied with a smile, while secretly complaining: Which one of these three people is not better than you? Others can humble themselves, but you can't?
Lu Hongbo scratched his short hair, pondered for a while, and said to Yang Rui: "Find a way to get me an invitation to the Mobile Internet Conference."
"No problem." Yang Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Lu Hongbo just needs to listen to the advice. If he insists on his own opinion, he would rather take his resources and join Chen Yansen.
It was pitch black outside the window and silent.
A few hours later, the sky was bright, Yanjing Conference Center.
Luxury cars kept driving in. Compared with the China Internet Conference, although the Mobile Internet Conference had a strong reputation, very few top entrepreneurs participated.
The only companies that can add luster to the conference are Penguin, Senlian Capital, Xiaomi, UC, and First Fund. In addition, automobile manufacturers such as BMW and Ford have also been invited.
Therefore, although Nicai has a bad reputation, it is ultimately a second-tier manufacturer in the mobile phone industry.
Since Lu Hongbo was coming, the organizers of the conference did not hesitate and immediately sent him an invitation.
Chen Yansen was sitting in a completely black Maybach 62S. Before he got out of the car, he saw Ma Wenteng surrounded by reporters. Two security guards were trying their best to protect Ma Wenteng in the middle.
"Chen Yansen from Senlian Capital is here!"
Before he finished speaking, the flash lights came on.
For a moment, it was as bright as day.
A group of people immediately separated from the media and surrounded the car.
Seeing this, four security guards quickly ran down from the Mercedes-Benz MPV behind and stopped the reporter two meters away.
Chen Yansen took the opportunity to get out of the car and walked towards the conference hall.
"Mr. Chen, the first generation of Redmi sold 476,000 units yesterday. Are you worried about the sales of Qingcheng D2?"
I don't have to worry about anything. For every Redmi 1 I sell, I make more than Xiaomi.
"Mr. Chen, Dakele has announced that it will enter the 100-yuan phone market. How should Orange Technology respond?"
Big Coke?
What the hell!
Chen Yansen listened to questions that were more bizarre than the last, and he didn't even think of stopping to respond.
He doesn't think that the reporters are incompetent. These questions just reflect the reporters' ability to ask questions.
Once he gives an answer, the other party will have a topic and heat.
Chen Yansen glanced at the logo on the microphone and took note of it.
"Mr. Chen, why didn't you come to the bar last night? Charles and I drank until after eleven o'clock." Ma Wenteng asked in a low voice.
"I was watching cartoons in the hotel and was obsessed with them." Chen Yansen made up a lie.
Ma Wenteng was confused and thought Chen Yansen was joking.
Song Yuncheng, who was standing by, suddenly blushed when he heard this, and his mind was filled with the image of Chen Yansen wearing the cosplay costume of Wolf.
"Charles asked me to go fishing in Bohai Bay tomorrow. Do you want to come?" Ma Wenteng changed the subject.
Fishing is not important, he mainly wants to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Chen Yansen.
Weishi is expected to be launched in mid-June, and he has not yet said hello to Chen Yansen.
Although Weishi will be launched on App Store as scheduled regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, it is more decent to inform them in advance.
"Okay." Chen Yansen nodded in response.
He knew what Zhang Chaoyang was thinking. He simply thought he had found a great fishing spot and wanted to show off to Ma Wenteng.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Ma Wenteng walked into the conference hall side by side with Chen Yansen.
Lei Yijun watched Chen Yansen and Ma Wenteng walking slowly towards him, and quickly stood up to greet them.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma!" Lei Yijun greeted with a smile.
The single-day sales volume of Redmi 1 was 476,000 units, the single-day sales volume of Xiaomi 2S was 91,000 units, and the single-day sales volume of Xiaomi 2A was 134,000 units.
He has not forgotten who was the main reason for Xiaomi's success.
"The sales of Redmi 1 are good," Chen Yansen praised.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Chen's support." Lei Yijun said modestly.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Lu Hongbo from Nicai."
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded behind me.
Nicai?
Chen Yansen turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and a flat head approaching him with a smile on his face.
Lei Yijun frowned slightly, his face darkened, and he looked at Lu Hongbo coldly.
Logically speaking, before the launch of Redmi 1, the customer overlap rate between Xiaomi and Nicai was not high, so there should be no conflict.
But in order to show off, Lu Hongbo often makes nonsense statements in front of the media, for example, the cost of Xiaomi's 1,999 yuan mobile phone is 1,200 yuan, while our mobile phone with the same configuration only sells for 1,180 yuan.
For example, defeat Xiaomi within two years, let Ma Liyun and Ma Wenteng work for me, and catch up with Apple in three years.
When it comes to bragging skills, Lei Yijun has to call Lu Hongbo the grandmaster.
"Mr. Lu, do you want to talk to me about something?" Chen Yansen asked with a smile.
In the eyes of the media, he, Lei Yijun and Zhou Hongyi are all "copycat killers".
Therefore, he couldn't figure out why Lu Hongbo had such a flattering expression.
"Mr. Chen, can I have a word with you?" Lu Hongbo asked tentatively.
Chen Yansen raised his hand. There was still half an hour left before the opening ceremony of the conference.
"Mr. Lu, please." Chen Yansen waved his hand, and Meng Yun immediately wanted to find the staff to ask for a meeting room.
"Mr. Chen, I've prepared the conference room." After Lu Hongbo said this, he led the way and led Chen Yansen and others to a conference room.
The group entered one by one. Chen Yansen sat in the main seat and looked at Lu Hongbo and the people accompanying him.
"Mr. Chen, Nicai's shipments last year were 8.261 million units. I also want to support the Aurora Future system. Can you give me a chance?"
Lu Hongbo asked directly.
"What opportunity?" Chen Yansen asked knowingly.
"We share the supply chain, manufacturing and after-sales system with Orange Mobile, and the treatment is the same as Xiaomi, 360 and NetEase." Lu Hongbo replied.
"Nicai has a good development momentum, and Mr. Lu can operate it independently." Chen Yansen said slowly.
"Mr. Chen, Nicai has more than 6,100 factory stores across the country and is willing to take on some of the sales tasks for Orange phones."
Lu Hongbo threw out his biggest chip.
He spent more than two years focusing on building offline sales channels, and the value of this cannot be ignored.
"I'll give you 500 million yuan and sell Nicai to me."
Chen Yansen didn't want to waste any more words and said it lightly.
Nicai's factory store is a small community store with an area of only 50 to 80 square meters. Most of them are opened in third- and fourth-tier cities or townships. The cost of opening a single store is usually only tens of thousands of yuan.
Five hundred million?
Buy Nicai?
Lu Hongbo was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Yansen to say that. He subconsciously looked at Yang Rui, wanting him to give him some advice.
Chen Yansen keenly captured this point.
