Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

In the afternoon, Pei Qian came to Outu Technology and met Jiang Yuan who was working overtime to prepare for the press conference.

Jiang Yuan is the only one in the huge company, because everyone else has already gone on holiday.

Seeing the empty workstations in the office area, Pei Qian was very satisfied.

During holidays, no one in Tenda Group must work overtime.Even if someone works overtime, it can only be the leader who works overtime.

What Pei Qian looked down on most was the kind of behavior where the boss had to work overtime when he had something to do, and forcibly kidnapped all employees of the company to work overtime together.Because the boss often works overtime, but the employees are not necessarily okay, the boss asks the employees to work overtime with him, simply because he is unhappy about working overtime, so he pulls the employees back.

Besides, what kind of money does the boss make?What money do ordinary employees make?

The boss worked overtime for a month without overtime pay, but earned a car; the employee worked overtime for a month without overtime pay, but helped the boss earn a car.

Therefore, within the Tenda Group, Pei Qian is determined not to encourage such unhealthy trends. All departments have to work overtime. Yes, but you must pay for overtime. Moreover, the person in charge of each department has to work overtime by yourself. Don't bring employees.

Pei Qian can still tolerate the situation where only the head of the department works overtime by himself, and only two hours of extra work.

Jiang Yuan's expression looked a little anxious. Seeing President Pei arrived, he hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Mr Pei."

Pei Qian sat down at the conference table and said with some concern: "It seems that your expression is a bit nervous, it's unnecessary, relax, isn't it just a press conference, it's not a big deal. It doesn't matter if you mess it up completely."

Jiang Yuan thought that Pei was always joking with himself, and hurriedly said, "How can it be done! This phone has condensed the efforts of the entire department. If it is because I messed up, then I will be a sinner!"

"In short, this is a prototype, this is the PPT of the press conference, you have a look."

While talking, Jiang Yuan handed over the mobile phone and laptop on the table.

Pei Qian reached out and took it.

When he saw the prototype of the OTTOG1 mobile phone, he subconsciously took a breath.

Something is wrong!

This phone is made with a sense of technology!

When I first saw the OTTOE1 mobile phone, Pei Qian did not feel astonished, because the E1 mobile phone had a forehead and a chin. Although the design was pretty beautiful, it was not far from the mobile phones on the market at that time. Because of the large battery, it is too bulky, so it is not particularly amazing at first sight.

But this time the G1 phone is completely different.

Although the head is still big, because of the full-screen technology, the forehead and chin are very narrow, only slightly wider than the borders on both sides, and the camera is not visible on the front, so the impression is very shocking.

Especially this chin really surprised Pei Qian.

Because Pei Qian also knows a little bit about the technology in this area, the traditional packaging solution for mobile phone screens is called COG packaging, which has high yield, low cost and easy mass production. However, the disadvantage is that the jaw is relatively large, so many manufacturers will choose to put the physical The fingerprint module is placed on the chin of the phone.

The advanced packaging solution is called COF packaging, which can reduce the upper and lower borders and greatly increase the screen-to-body ratio of mobile phones, but it still cannot achieve a 100% full screen.

The technology that can really remove the chin is called COP packaging. According to some digital technology media reports, Pineapple’s latest generation flagship mobile phone uses this technology, which can compress the four-sided frame of the phone to the extreme, and the chin is as wide as the frame.

But now it’s only May. According to the law of pineapple phone releases, new phones will not be released every fall or around October. That is to say, this kind of COP-packaged phones will be available in the next few months Will never show up.

The OTTOG1 mobile phone obviously uses the COP packaging process, but its chin is not as small as the Apple X in Pei Qian’s memory, but the sensory difference should not exceed one or two millimeters, so look at it from the front Still shocked.

It was supposed to be a very bulky mobile phone, but because of the high appearance of the full screen, it gave people a very domineering feeling.

The first impression this phone left on Pei Qian was very bad.

However, the two physical buttons on the side, like shoulder buttons, have a certain width and are slightly protruding.It is precisely because of the existence of these two physical buttons that the G1 mobile phone cannot be made into a curved screen with narrowing on both sides, and it will be slightly worse in the grip. Although the recognition is increased, it is obviously incompatible with the current mainstream mobile phone structure. .

The pop-up camera is located on the upper part of the left long side, a very moth-like position, which Pei Qian personally finalized at the time, because it seems that the mobile phone with the pop-up camera here has never seen it, which can greatly increase the probability of failure.

This made Pei Qian feel a little more at ease. Obviously, this is the same as he had previously expected. It is a mobile phone that uses too many new technologies, so the cost must be high, and it is impossible to stock up a lot. , Too advanced design concepts may not make mainstream consumer groups buy it.

Pei Qian played with the phone a bit and asked, "How much is the price going to be set?"

Jiang Yuan did not answer directly, but hesitated a little: "Uh... President Pei, I also want to report this matter to you. The cost of the mobile phone is a little bit higher than previously expected, so..."

Pei Qian interrupted him: "Just talk about pricing."

Jiang Yuan: "According to E1's pricing at the time, the starting price of this phone is set at...9899."

"Mr Pei, we have worked very hard to reduce the starting price to less than 10,000 yuan, and there is a higher storage version, priced at 9999, and a special customized version, 10199."

"The price is indeed a bit high, but this is also a consideration after adding Tenda's various benefits. If we only sell bare machines, our price can be reduced to less than 7000 or even lower..."

Pei Qian couldn't help being ecstatic, and raised his hand: "No, the price is very suitable, not high at all, just right!"

Upon hearing this pricing, Pei Qian knew that this phone was probably stable!

Who would spend so much money on a brand-name mobile phone?

Previously, the OTTOE1 mobile phone was priced at 8199, but that was in the case of a full set of Tenda benefits.

The G1 mobile phone also comes with a full set of benefits, but the price is not a little bit higher than that of the E1 mobile phone, but a full 1,700 yuan.

Because G1 phones use more new technologies, the cost is naturally higher.

Taking 8,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan as a base figure, the increase of 1700 yuan is not that much, but taking this figure out alone, 1700 yuan can already be used to buy low-end mobile phones of some major brands.

Moreover, the current domestic mobile phones, even the flagship level of Shenhua, are far from reaching the 10,000 yuan level.

If you don't add Tenda's various benefits, the OTTOG1 mobile phone can push the price to more than six thousand yuan, which is almost the same price as the flagship mobile phone of brands such as Shenhua.

However, according to Outu Technology's estimation, the benefits of mobile phones are actually close to 3,000 yuan, and the longer they are used, the more valuable they are.Therefore, on the premise that these benefits are included, the price of mobile phones cannot be lowered. If it is lowered, it means that the wool subsidies of other departments are subsidizing the mobile phone department, which is not good.

Pei Qian said: "This pricing is fine, don't worry, let's talk about the press conference."

"I will look at the content of the PPT first."

Pei Qian flipped through the PPT of the mobile phone conference on his laptop.

In all fairness, this PPT does a good job.Like the press conferences of other brands of mobile phones, the various parameters and new functions of the mobile phones were introduced in detail, and the promotional videos were also shot. In short, everything is stable and there is no fault.

After a quick glance at the PPT of the press conference, Pei Qian fell into silence.

Something is wrong.

This PPT is made, but I want to buy it, but what should I do!

I have to say that the G1 phone does use a lot of new technologies, so the introduction of these new technologies on the PPT has already taken up a lot of space, coupled with the unique shape of the phone and the very impactful full-screen design, just The regular introduction is also quite attractive.

Whether a mobile phone is practical or not is something that customers can only experience after a period of time after using it. However, there are not many new technologies that are handsome or gimmicky, but they can be seen directly at the press conference.

So this is definitely not possible, because the output of mobile phones is not high. If the conference deceives some customers, they are sold out in seconds like the last time, creating a "very popular" feeling for customers. wonderful?

Pei Qian coughed slightly: "The PPT is OK, but..."

"Why didn't you continue your previous PPT style?"

Pei Qian felt that the previous E1 mobile phone press conference was hot, mainly because Changyou's eloquence was so good that the press conference became a stand-up comedy, and the content of the press conference itself was fine.

It is better to list all the shortcomings of the mobile phone, to mention the advantages, and to persuade customers in advance, than to talk about a lot of advantages at the press conference.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Pei. The content of the previous PPT was created for Chang Zong. It takes Mr. Chang's eloquence to use it."

"My eloquence is not good, and I might even be stage fright when I go on stage, so I think the whole press conference should be done smoothly. It may be very embarrassing to force the general manager to learn.

Pei Qian shook his head: "There is no need to deny yourself so quickly."

"When you encounter a problem, don't first think about whether you can do it, but first think about what you need to succeed."

"Such a mobile phone that embodies new technology and is full of innovative spirit. If it is paired with a stable and unremarkable press conference, is this appropriate? It is not appropriate."

Jiang Yuan hesitated: "This..."

Pei Qian continued: "So, you change as I said."

"Now the structure of PPT is basically divided into three parts. The first part is to introduce the continuous update and iteration of the mobile phone operating system and AEEIS artificial intelligence in this year, emphasizing that we have completed the commitments made at the previous press conference; the second part is the introduction The new technology adopted by the mobile phone blows the appearance and various parameters of the mobile phone; the third part is to announce the price, configuration, and release date of the mobile phone, and compare it with E1 mobile phones and other brand flagship phones."

"But in my opinion, a lot of the information in it is invalid, and it's a waste of everyone's time."

"Well, the first part of self-bragged is unnecessary. We have been updating the ottoos system, old users know it, and this is what we should do, there is no need to brag;"

"The second part is about the appearance and various parameters of the mobile phone. This part cannot be removed, but the length is too long. According to my opinion, the appearance and parameters of the mobile phone can be described in one page of PPT;"

"Although we have used some new technologies, these new technologies are also full of various flaws. How can this part be covered in one sentence? It must be written in very detailed, the more detailed the better, so as not to mislead our consumers; "

"The third part is also a bit procrastinated. I think the horizontal comparison link can be eliminated. We just need to do our own thing. Why bother to step on other mobile phone manufacturers? This similar horizontal comparison table is nothing but a long-term attack. It’s short and boring. It’s enough to just announce the price and release date."

"Well, that's about it."

Jiang Yuan was a little dizzy.

President Pei cut left and right, and the content of the entire press conference was almost cut in half!

And the most important thing is that all the good parts of the mobile phone are cut off, but the part that introduces the shortcomings of the new technology of the mobile phone should be written and emphasized repeatedly.

What kind of routine is this?

Previously, I condensed all the advantages of mobile phones to one page, creating the famous scene of Mr. Chang "reading all right in one breath", but the problem is that Jiang Yuan knows that he does not have Mr. Chang's lip service, and this scene is basically reproduced. Can't it?
