Rebirth: It's Like Flowing Water Chapter 321

Compared with the level of manufacturing, Paulson is more interested in ability.

Such savvy, as well as the ability to coordinate and dispatch, Paulson has never seen it anyway.

Well, from this point of view, Paulson is worthy of being the head of Desheng, and his vision is still very unique.

In fact, it was not until the earthquake in 2008 that the whole world really realized how terrible the mobilization ability of the Chinese people really is.

It can only be said that what we are accustomed to, is inconceivable to them.

Later, when Qi Lei knew that Paulson had increased his investment in China because of this, he arrogantly scolded him.

"Che, what's all the fuss about? Haven't seen the world?"

Paulson, "..."

Then, Qi Lei contacted Lao Qin backhandedly, "This time they are rushing to find us, don't beg him, kill me!"

Lao Qin, "..."

This guy is still not tired, what are you worrying about?

"Just take care of yourself."

Lao Qin hasn't been to Qi Lei's place for a long time, and sometimes he doesn't even bother to see Qi Lei when he returns to the capital.

It's not that if you have a new love, you don't want an old love, and you don't want to see Qi Lei when you have Master Tuo, but he found that this kid has changed.

In Lao Qin's impression, Qi Lei was a very courageous boss who dared to delegate power. He will never be stingy with giving others a chance to perform when he can't interfere with himself.

However, since the start of the smartphone project, this kid is just like an old mother, doing everything by himself and keeping an eye on everything.

Old Qin couldn't figure out whether he was getting more timid as he got older, or had the potential to become a broken mouth. If it goes on like this, when Qi Lei reaches the age of Lao Qin, the menopause will be quite turbulent.

He didn't know that Qi Lei was really not a slob, nor that he didn't trust others, but as the only person who had experience using a smartphone, he knew more about the details that a phone should pay attention to than those engineers and technicians.

And these details are definitely not all people can think of at the moment.

For example, who would notice the tactility of the card slot, the charging port, and the faint sound?

Who will design the damping effect and button texture for the physical buttons on the mobile phone?

Who would have to integrate the charging port and the headphone jack just for the lack of a hole in the mobile phone, or even spend millions to design a specially designed port?

Small details such as these will not be noticed in future generations, and current designers will not care about them.

But it was Qi Lei, who knew where the gap was as soon as he got started.

It is these small details that distinguish Sanshi mobile phones from other mobile phones.

What is texture?

It is that the mobile phone feels different from other mobile phones as soon as it is used, and it feels better than other mobile phones.

This is what Qi Lei wants.

But this really tortured the R&D staff enough, this boss is too stupid!

So old Qin also felt that he had changed, and it was a bit difficult to deal with.

Time turns to July.

Qi Lei took two days out of his busy schedule to attend the world premiere of "Parasite" in Beijing.

It's not to cheer for Xiaoer, it's purely a commercial act.

In fact, he was busy and Xiaoer was also busy. The two stayed together for five minutes before the premiere, and then they didn't speak until the end of the premiere.

Qi Lei went to the airport to fly to the magic capital, and Xiaoer was going to go to South Korea to start a roadshow covering Asia, Europe and North America.

And Qi Lei flew back to the magic capital to participate in an important opening ceremony——

The opening ceremony of No. 0 machine.

Qi Lei did not disappoint, the four groups completed the task on time in two months, and made this brick run.

When Pangu OS finally got out of the computer simulation environment and flashed the boot logo on the No. 0 machine, many people were too excited to speak.

Qi Lei was also silent for a long time, and someone brought a camera, took a picture of Ball, and sent it to his mailbox.

As a result, Uncle Bao immediately called back, "It's turned on!? Success!?"

Qi Lei smiled complacently, "It's running normally, but we haven't started a full-scale test yet. At present, the power consumption parameters are a little different."

Paulson's heart raised his throat, "So, is that a serious problem?"

Qi Lei, "It shouldn't be big."

Paulson, "I'll fly to the Magic City tomorrow!"

He can't wait to see what a smartphone that's been on the market for so long looks like.

It's not about business anymore, it's about creation.

As one of the bosses, his company is creating a communication tool that can change lives.

And when Paulson arrived at the magic capital to see the No. 0 machine, the basic test conducted overnight had been initially completed.

"Thank goodness, no problems have been found for the time being!"

Nan Lao's face was flushed. If there is no problem, it means that there is no need to change it, which means that time is saved, which is extremely important.

And Paulson carefully picked up the brick, and his mood was extremely complicated.

Although this brick can't do anything, even the most basic functions of a mobile phone to make calls, it is enough to make Paulson happy for a while.

It's now July, three months after Nokia's concept announcements, and only one year and nine months until their final countdown.

"Even for the fastest Nokia, they won't be able to come up with an engineering prototype for at least a year."

"That is to say..." Paulson looked sly.

But it was Qi Lei who said the following words for him, "That is to say, when the finalization and mass production schedule are removed, the time left for Nokia to debug the system is at most half a year."

"As for software coverage and ecological construction, that is after the mobile phone is launched. They should not think about it in the past two years."

Paulson, "Yes!"

"And we, system debugging can start today! Haha!!"

At least in terms of system and ecology, Sanshi is no longer tied to other competitors, but far ahead.

After watching Unit 0, Paulson talked about another important thing.

"Qi, I want to know your pricing and marketing strategy!"

Well, the old problem has happened again. As a financial company, Paulson always wants to do evaluations and product analysis. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

But now, he can't make an evaluation, and lacks a lot of important data.

For example, what is Qi Lei's marketing strategy? He said that he did not spend money to advertise, or it was true.

For another example, what price will Qi Lei set for a new mobile phone?

so……

"Qi!" Paulson is extremely serious, and even a little bitter: "You must give me an accurate answer, otherwise I can't explain it to those investors on Wall Street."

Qi Lei wanted to laugh when he saw him like that. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing to keep secret, and Paulson needed to cooperate in the marketing process.

So, tell him and tell him.

"Come with me!"

Taking Paulson into his office, Qi Lei asked the secretary to find a document from the filing cabinet and throw it to Paulson.

"Everything you want to know is here!"

Paulson took it, subconsciously wanting to find a good place to sit down and watch it slowly.

However, Qi Lei didn't have an office in the Magic Capital Laboratory originally, and because he stayed here for a long time, Sam made a temporary room for him.

Therefore, it is really temporary, the space is not large, there is no sofa, and there is not even a chair for the passenger seat.

Paulson swept around in a big circle, and finally took up Qi Lei's boss chair cheekily. During the period, he also complained, "You said that you were the boss, and you didn't say that you should change to a bigger place!"

Qi Lei pouted, "Your office is quite big, why don't you give it to me?"

When Paulson heard this, he didn't even think about it, "Okay! As long as the smartphone succeeds, I can give you the president!"

As he spoke, he took out his reading glasses from the inner pocket of his suit and looked at it quietly.

Qi Lei didn't bother him, just sat on the table and waited for him to finish reading.

Originally the document was not long, not to mention, Paulson could not be quiet.

Just turned two pages and lost his calm, "You really don't plan to spend money on advertising!?"

This is a plan for the laying and promotion of offline stores before the launch of Sanshi Mobile. The part about store construction is normal, and even the investment is a little high.

Because Qi Lei's requirements for decoration, store layout, shopping guide and other standards are not at all the standard mobile phone store specifications, it is a bit inclined to the standards of luxury stores, and the form is a brand-new electronic product experience store model.

That's fine, and Paulson has no objections.

However, the cost of advertising promotion is really as he said, saving it, only a mere tens of millions of meters.

Well, it looks like tens of millions. However, be aware that this is the total cost of a global rollout.

Moreover, compared with the investment of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of smart machines, tens of millions is not proportional at all.

Paulson looked down and couldn't help shaking his head speechlessly, because there was no need for Qi Lei to answer, the plan had already marked where the tens of millions of promotion expenses were spent.

Apart from projection advertisements on iconic buildings in several major cities around the world, there is no advertising spend.

For example, Times Square in New York, Empire State Building, Tokyo TV Tower, Eiffel Tower, London Eye and so on.

Paulson was extremely curious, "Qi, how exactly are you going to promote it?"

Qi Lei pondered, "The specific promotion process, I'll tell you in detail later. It's quite complicated, you just need to know that our advertising expenditure is only tens of millions."

"Okay!" Paulson could still wait at this point, and didn't ask any further.

Continuing to flip through the plan, I saw the column about the price estimate of the smartphone, and the whole person was not good.

"No!! This price needs to be renegotiated!"

Staring at his eyes: "749 to 949 meters? Who are you selling to!?"

949! ?

Maybe many people have no concept of this number, let alone domestic, let's talk about North America!

In this era, Americans generally buy mobile phones in two ways:

One is to sign a contract with a telecom operator and promise to consume a package.

That way, no matter how high-end you want your phone, you'll only have to pay a little.

Even the best phones on the market are priced so low that you doubt life.

The other is to buy directly.

For mobile phones of international brands such as Nokia and Motorola, high-end phones are at least one third cheaper than domestic prices, or even more, which is about 300 to 400 yuan.

Even the smart phones that are getting a lot of speculation now, whether it be Nokia, Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry, etc., should be priced between 500 and 600 yuan, which is about 4,000 to 5,000 rmb.

In fact, even in Qi Lei's original time and space, Apple's mobile phone has dominated the high-end mobile phone market, and the price starts at 600 yuan, and they dare not exceed the starting price of 700 yuan.

So, let's look at Qi Lei's mobile phone pricing now, starting at 749 yuan, and the highest-end model costs 949 yuan?

Paulson said to himself, you want to be crazy about money, right? Who will pay for your high price?

He now somewhat understands what Qi Lei said before - cost? Not worth mentioning in the face of profit!

Oh, that's not worth mentioning?

Especially the price range of 700 to 900 meters, such a high price, it is really not worth mentioning, he can arbitrarily wave on the cost of research and development.

"Qi, what do you think? We don't have an advantage in the first place, and the price is higher than other competitors. Isn't this courting death?"

However, Qi Lei smiled slightly, "Because everyone has set the price of mobile phones in the range of 500--600, we have to start from 700!"

Paulson, "??"

I don't understand it at all, it's just bullshit.

However, no one knew what Qi Lei and Paulson said that day. In the end, the old man did not continue to oppose the pricing in the price range of 700 to 900 yuan.

After staying in the magic capital for a day, Paulson returned to the United States happily, and he said, "This time it is stable! The three-stone mobile phone will surprise the world, it is an unparalleled great masterpiece!"

Adversaries such as Microsoft and Apple who bragged about it, felt guilty in their hearts.

We haven't got a shadow here yet! How did you become a great masterpiece? Did you blow your head?

But I can't stand Paulson's status there. The name of the boss is still a bit useful, at least some people believe it.

In addition, the words that came out of his mouth were originally news, not to mention, he was talking about the much-anticipated smart phone.

It quickly reached the point where everyone knew that Sanshi was stable this time.

However, no one thought that Sanshi was not a big joke because of Paulson's boasting.

Because, on a dark and windy night, Paulson's personal computer was hacked.

The photo of the three-stone No. 0 machine that Qi Lei sent to Paulson before was leaked from Paulson's post, and it only took one day to spread all over the world's Internet. .

It was overwhelming, and even the traditional media joined in to report on it.

That brick is completely popular!

Moreover, the media also attached a description: "This time it is stable, an unparalleled masterpiece, the first generation of three-stone smart machines - metal bricks."

The major columnists are even more mocking:

"This is indeed a great masterpiece, a magical creation that makes President Desheng fall for it, and a mobile phone that is suspected to be a building material was born."

"I hope it's a joke because it's so funny and so sad!"

"It is said that the wise Mr. Paulson invested tens of billions of dollars for this brick, which is definitely the most expensive building material on the planet."

"The Chinese once again showed us their manufacturing level~www.mtlnovel.com~ Maybe Mr. Qi thinks that wearing a piece of your body and turning your head is the most fashionable display at the moment."

Netizens, as well as those who have expectations for Sanshi mobile phones, are also crazy.

That's it?

Looking forward to something like this! ?
