Global monopoly of technology

The trip to North America ended perfectly, and the launch day of Azure mobile phones arrived.

Mid to late December, Europe.

Yao Jianhong is still in Europe today. To be precise, he is in Germany. Today is December 23. There is only one day left before the product goes on sale.

It will go on sale tomorrow.

Yao Jianhong came to a single flagship store on the Danube River in Germany in a special car. After getting out of the car, he did not walk towards the flagship store, but watched from a distance.

At this time, Yao Jianhong saw the scene of a long line in a large open space outside the flagship store, arranged in the shape of a "bow", and even saw a lot of tents.

"It looks like there are more than six or seven hundred people."

Yuan Guan Yao Jianhong couldn’t help but said, with satisfaction in his tone. Seeing this picture, he knew that Azure-X’s sales had basically stabilized. As the general manager of the supply chain and president of global sales and service of the Azure Coast company, his My heart is also stable.

After a while, his accompanying assistant said: "Mr. Yao, the major flagship stores have closed the experience window a week ago, and on the second day after the closure, there are consumers waiting in line. It is crazy, it is really going to sell. what."

Yao Jianhong couldn't help smiling when he heard it. He didn't hesitate to set up a tent to buy it first. It was absolutely true love.

"President Yao, do you want to go to the store? I'll contact the person in charge of this offline store?" his assistant asked.

"No, let's go. Let's see what's going on in the store." Yao Jianhong shook his head and said. After watching the scene of many consumers queuing for a while, he turned to the car and went to the next offline store. shop.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yao Jianhong came to another city in Germany, looked at the local shopping mall, and also formed a long line.

That night, Yao Jianhong stayed at a nearby hotel for one night. At the same time, news of offline specialty stores in other parts of Europe was reported to him, and the scene was probably the same.

Judging from the series of information obtained so far, Azure-X has won the recognition of European consumers. The development experience for more than two months has completely dispelled the doubts of some European consumers and moved these Europeans. .

Because before that, many European mobile phone users were actually hesitant about Azure-X mobile phones, and they had many questions about whether this consumer electronics product from China had quality and other issues. The actual experience and at least three years of after-sales Service guarantee dispels the worries of consumers who like this product.

After all, the price of this product is not cheap. In Europe, the retail price of an Azure-X mobile phone 4GB model is €499, excluding exchange rate changes about 5145; the retail price of 16GB model is €699, excluding exchange rate changes, about 7,200 yuan.

Because of tariffs, prices will inevitably rise.

...

December 24, today is the global launch day of Azure-X mobile phones, it is also Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas.

The blue coast company’s plan to grab money abroad...Uh no, the marketing plan is clearly arranged.

...

Paris.

At nine o'clock in the morning local time, major offline stores in the European area opened almost at the same time, and the average number of consumers waiting for purchase in each offline store reached 525.

The atmosphere at the scene is also very hot. With the celebrations such as fireworks, the consumers who have been in line for a long time also cheered.

Their mood is that they have finally waited for this day.

I have been looking forward to it for more than two months, and it is not easy to get it the first time.

"I want to buy a 4GB model, thank you!"

"Okay, a total of €499, is it cash or credit card payment?"

"Swipe your card."

"Two 16GB models, thank you!"

"A total of €1398. Is it cash or credit card payment?"

"Swipe your card."

At this moment, in this offline store, a number of Azure-X mobile phones are constantly taken out of the warehouse and delivered to consumers one after another.

As time passed by, the number of consumers waiting in line for purchase continued to increase on this day. At the end of the long queue waiting for purchase, they are still out of the 890th place.

The excellent industrial design of the Azure-X mobile phone is really very beautiful. It is definitely one of the most anticipated Christmas gifts this year. Some consumers prepare Christmas gifts for themselves, some for their loved ones, and Or other etc.

In a single flagship store in London, a group of reporter partners are going to the offline store. The hot shopping scene in front of them is also amazed, but they are not shocked.

Because as early as a week ago, the news has been reported in the news media. Since a week ago, Azure-X mobile phones have begun to gather a large number of consumers in major offline stores in Europe, which are obviously all coming to panic buying. of.

These phenomena are undoubtedly confirmed in advance that Azure-X mobile phones will sell well. Starting a week ago, the industry's attention has remained high.

I was shocked at that time.

As for now, watching the Chinese people make money like crazy, it is inexplicably sour.

...

"Hello, our reporter from the BBC, can we do a simple live interview with you?" The reporter who came to immediately caught a young man who had just come out of the store. The shopping bag in his hand indicated that he had bought it. An Azure-X mobile phone.

"of course can."

The young man named Barrett nodded cheerfully and was timid when facing the camera.

Reporter: "How much did your equipment cost?"

Barrett: "I bought two, one is a 4GB model, for €499, which was bought by my friend. I bought a 16GB model for €699, which is a total of €1198."

Reporter: "Are you satisfied with the price of Azure-X?"

Barrett: "To be honest, I'm not satisfied with the price. As a less wealthy me, it's really too expensive."

Reporter: "Why would you still choose a product that is not satisfied with the price?"

When Barrett heard the reporter's question, he pondered for a moment and said: "Because I really like this phone, although in my eyes it has some flaws and the price is super expensive. I followed the AOS Developers Conference, but I didn't wait for AOS2.0 at all. You don't need new hardware to fall in love with Azure-X, because AOS1.0 is enough. Wait until the software is updated... How to say it is hard to describe emmm in words..."

Barrett, with a tangled face, suddenly had an inspiration, and immediately said, "Let’s put it this way, when I first met Azure-X, it was like a teenager who met his first "Playboy" in his life. This feeling, this is the sexiest technology product I have ever seen, it’s not too nice~~"

reporter:"……"

After a while, the reporter who interviewed him smiled awkwardly and gracefully, and quickly skipped over the topic and asked again: "What's your comment on the Azure-X experience?"

Barrett answered without hesitation: "I think one of the biggest technical achievements of Azure-X is that users can easily slide content by touching the screen with their fingers. The first experience of touching the screen is very beautiful, and the high-resolution screen is gorgeous. The Helvetica font has never looked so good on the screen. Everything is very fast and very sensitive."

Barrett quickly added: "When you drag something, whether it's sliding to unlock the phone, or zooming in on a photo or web page, the dragging action follows your fingertips. So far I haven't found Azure-X in the UI. Which element of the interface does not make people feel super happy, and all of this is true, it is very important!"

Between the lines, he showed his love for this product.

The interview was over quickly. The reporter of "BBC" caught a few consumers and conducted simple interviews, all of which were unanimously praised.

...

"BBC" editorial department.

"Clyde, did the interview video from France come back? How much of the recorded content is negative? Upload all the negative reviews on the Internet."

"Let me see... Oh, it's unbelievable. It's all positive reviews. It's really rave reviews."

"What? No bad reviews?"

"That's it, don't believe me, come and take a look."

"Damn it, what an international joke? Did the frontline reporters secretly collect Luo Sheng's money? I hurried to find some childcare. What I want is a bad review, preferably a long review, understand?"

"This... is this really good?"

"I'm the editor-in-chief, I have the final say, I have to do things after I receive the money. This is basic professional ethics, OK?"

"Okay..."

With such a hot selling scene, even the traditional mobile phone giants are shocked, and those in the industry who look down on the decline are undoubtedly surprised.
