Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Wednesday, February 1.

The settlement was just completed yesterday, and today's Pei Qian is full of fighting spirit ready to start the next cycle of losing money.

Of course, the main reason is that Pei Qian can be so active because he has been staying at home for a week during the Spring Festival holiday, and has been fully rested, and his personal wealth has reached a peak.

Today Pei Qian plans to go to OTTO Technology first.

The previous OTTO technology was mainly responsible for two main tasks: first, the new system of OTTO mobile phones, including better linear animation, camera algorithm of the imaging laboratory, AEEIS intelligent assistant, etc.; secondly, the production of a fully automatic smart bar lifter, selling Not bad.

But for Changyou, the results of his previous work certainly cannot satisfy him.

You know, OTTO Technology has already made OTTOE1, a popular mobile phone brand, which sells very well and has opened up a certain degree of popularity.

This mobile phone is high-end positioning from the beginning, so its success is even more commendable.

After all, if most mobile phone manufacturers want to hit the high-end, they must slowly increase prices, slowly stack materials, and slowly accumulate reputation. It may take several models and years to slowly establish flagship phones. The price level is high, and if there is a problem in the middle, all previous efforts may be lost.

And OTTO mobile phones have stood firm at the high end from the beginning, which is equivalent to standing at the end of many mobile phone brands at birth.

Regardless of the sales volume, you can make money anyway, if someone buys it, that's enough!

For a newly established mobile phone brand, it is impossible to expect more.

Therefore, Chang You is very eager to go further and achieve greater success.

Pei Qian also knew this very well, so he kept pressing Changyou and asked him to do both the imaging laboratory and the system. He did not release a new mobile phone for a whole year.

Now, the work that Pei Qian arranged for OTTO Technology has been completed, and new tasks must be arranged for Changyou.

If Pei Qian is left alone, Changyou will definitely carry out follow-up development according to his own judgment. With the successful base of OTTOE1, I am afraid that it will make a big profit.

Therefore, Pei Qian must come to arrange a task to mislead Changyou's thinking, so that the new product of OTTO technology must not succeed!

...

"President Pei, you are here!"

Chang You greeted Pei Qian into the meeting room with a smug expression on his face.

Obviously, Chang You has been waiting for President Pei's arrival to arrange new tasks for OTTO Technology.

He can't wait to show his fists.

Pei Qian sat down in the conference room, and Chang You sat down opposite with a small box.

"President Pei, this is the custom mouse that you explained before, and the samples have already been made."

"Oh? Oh." Pei Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and then remembered the gadget that Changyou had arranged before.

Strictly speaking, this is not a product of OTTO technology, but a small peripheral that Party A finds a foundry to make.

The main thing is that after the development of the fully automatic intelligent lifting machine is completed, Pei Qian has to find something to do for OTTO technology, so as to save them from studying moths after they have nothing to do, and then make new accidents.

Because this matter was relatively trivial, Pei Qian didn't take it seriously, and almost forgot about it.Now that Chang You took out the finished product, Pei Qian remembered it.

Open the box, and a standard size mouse lies inside.

From the appearance point of view, this mouse is pure white with an LED light strip in the center, which looks more technological.

Chang You said: "President Pei, let me introduce its functions to you."

"This is the'never work overtime mouse' you want. During working hours, it is the same as other wireless mice and can be used normally. And it has a built-in lithium battery instead of the normal AA and AAA batteries. More durable."

"In addition to longer battery life and a certain counterweight effect, lithium batteries are also vital, that is, they can provide stronger and more abundant power for the mouse!"

"Once it enters off hours, it will change into another form, just like this."

As Chang You spoke, he adjusted it on his mobile phone.

Then, the mouse on the conference table suddenly changed its shape!

The LED strip on its back changed from blue to red, and a small tail protruded from the end. The left and right buttons on the front were originally placed on the mouse properly, but now they stand upright, like the two of a mouse. Only small ears.

"In this form, no one can catch it."

As Chang You spoke, he reached out to the mouse on the table.

However, the moment his hand stretched over, the mouse suddenly moved horizontally, avoiding Changyou's hand!

Chang You stretched out his hand again, and the mouse escaped again!

No matter how hard you work, the mouse will always be one step ahead of him. It will flicker and move around on the desktop, running around irregularly, just can't catch it.

Obviously, there is a sensor on the back of the mouse, and there is a small wheel under the mouse. When the human hand is approaching, the small wheel will move quickly to avoid it.

Chang You continued: "Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people with extraordinary talents who can catch it with lightning speed, and at this time, it will start the Golden Cicada shelling program, get rid of the devil's claws, and send you an alert!"

Chang You carefully avoided the sensor behind the mouse, and then grabbed it!

But shortly afterwards, the mouse made a "click" sound, and a certain mechanism inside it seemed to be activated. The dark blue mouse body inside and the white outer shell separated and fled again.

At the same time, the two small eyes on the front of the mouse began to flash red, and the phone on the desk by Changyou received a message.

Chang You adjusted the time on his mobile phone and changed it to non-working time.

The red-blinking mouse returned to normal again. Chang You reinstalled the outer shell, and it became the original mouse again.

"President Pei, all the mice bound to the APP can set working hours and real-time monitoring, you will have the highest authority."

Pei Qian was very happy: "Yes! I am very satisfied with this thing!"

"Mass-produce immediately and equip all departments with it!"

Pei Qian didn't think so much before, but just wanted to let OTTO Technology find something to do, go to the foundry to make a mouse that allows employees not to work overtime. I didn't expect it to be quite novel!

Although there are very, very few overtimes in various departments, it is always good for Pei to take more preventive measures.

Pei Qian put the mouse back in the box and affirmed Changyou's work.Then, while drinking tea, he asked about the current situation of OTTO technology.

Chang You confidently said: "Pei, the overall situation of OTTO technology is good!"

"The current sales of OTTOE1 mobile phones are basically negligible, and we have already discontinued production. After all, this is a mobile phone one year ago, and we have been adhering to the principle of'never price cut', so people who buy at the original price are already very Few less."

"But it doesn't matter, because the previous inventory is almost cleared, this phone can be considered dead."

"The price of the mobile phone is not reduced. Although it has affected its sales at the end of its life, it has also won us a reputation among the old users. On the one hand, it is because they feel that the mobile phone is very valuable, and on the other hand, it is because we have been continuously updating the system. Make them feel valued."

"And these reputations have laid a solid foundation for us to release new mobile phones!"

"As for the smart bar lifter, it is currently selling very well. Whether it is in the field of smart speakers, in the field of whispering walls, or even in the field of art and decorations, it is a very popular product."

"So, President Pei, it has been a year since the E1 mobile phone was released. It's almost time to release a new phone, right?"

Chang You's eyes were full of expectation.

Pei Qian took a sip of tea in silence and nodded very reluctantly: "Well, it's almost there."

"What do you think about the new phone?"

Pei Qian continued the same routine as before, first asked Changyou what he planned to do, and then guided him in the wrong direction.

Chang You confidently said: "My thoughts are like this, Mr. Pei."

"OTTOE1 mobile phone can be said to be a very successful mobile phone. Although its weight and price are shortcomings, the players have basically accepted these shortcomings."

"Summarizing the experience, I think a very critical factor is that E1 phones use relatively mature supply chain technology, so although we are a new manufacturer, the yield rate of mobile phones is still well controlled."

"So, I think we should continue to develop OTTOE2 mobile phones. On the basis of maintaining the characteristics of E1 mobile phones, make some minor updates to mobile phone chips, camera modules, etc., as long as the configuration is not lower than other flagship level. "

"After all, our current market share is still very low. The most important thing is to keep our basic disk users, and then slowly expand to the mainstream market. It is not suitable to sell too much."

Pei Qian shook his head silently: "I don't think so."

Chang You didn't expect President Pei to reject his plan so simply, thinking that he must have made some serious mistakes in the judgment of the situation, so he hurriedly listened carefully.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian said: "The key to the success of the E1 mobile phone lies in its surprise and uniqueness! When the mobile phone was taken out at the press conference, it immediately gave all consumers a sense of shine, so it was able to win the audience first and sell it. so good."

"If you just do some regular updates, change the chip, change the camera module, although the cost is reduced, the risk is also small, but can it give everyone a refreshing feeling?"

"If everyone doesn't think it's unique, and it's obviously different from other mobile phones, why do you buy it again?"

Chang You froze for a moment, feeling that Mr. Pei's words seemed very reasonable.

"Then, President Pei, in your opinion...what should I do with this phone?"
