20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2030 Straight Alcatel

Of course, Alcatel's wording is more artistic, that is, it thinks that China has a vast territory, a vast land and abundant resources, and a highway network covering roads and airways is still a bit lacking.

Unlike France, which is a tiny place, or even the whole of Western Europe, no matter where you stand in the morning, you can reach it at night with a short distance and a well-developed transportation network.

Basically, there will be no dilemma that the mobile phone is out of power and there is no place to charge it.

However, in China, a huge country of 960 million square kilometers, sometimes you have to travel on trains and cars for several days and nights on business trips, and it is easy for mobile phones to run out of battery.

However, there are no sockets for charging mobile phones on buses in China, including in many public places, and there is no such convenient facility for timely charging.

In fact, not to mention that China is economically developed Europe and the United States, there are no such convenient charging facilities in the workplace.

Then when the phone is out of power, it will be very troublesome.

Alcatel's engineers and designers, just taking these factors into consideration, launched this OT221 mobile phone according to local conditions.

As long as you get this mobile phone, you will not be afraid that the mobile phone will run out of power wherever you go. You must either turn it off, or look for a place where it can be charged, and wait for a long time for charging.

Just go to any canteen and shout: "Take three AA batteries, and the problem will be solved perfectly."

Zhao Changan's verbal answer to this was, "Thank you very much for your concern and consideration from the designers of your company, but the joint venture company does not have any willingness or possibility to introduce the OT221 model." '

The answer in my heart was, 'Who the hell are you looking down on?See if I don't pee on you Le visage (face)! '

He dared to make a bet with these foreigners, betting that their company has the most sexy, beautiful, young and charming women. If this mobile phone is introduced into the joint venture company in one nanometer, it will be a miracle that it can sell a thousand units.

And he will be joked by his domestic counterparts as, 'Super stupid! '

Zhao Changan would be crazy to agree to this kind of behavior that put the company into a business crisis and made himself a joke in the public opinion.

-

Facing Zhao Changan's refusal, although Serge Chuluk was a little disappointed, he was not angry.

Even though he and the company's think tank had predicted before, if Yinanometer can let go of the small farmer's thinking and introduce OT221 in a big way, only with the big selling point of "3 AAA batteries for three yuan from the boss", it will be able to make The joint venture easily surpassed the sales of Sagem and WAVEGUIDE, and even changed the battery design of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers in the world.

However, since Yinanometer expressed his refusal in such a clear-cut manner, he can only continue to cheer up and talk about a win-win joint venture cooperation under regret.

After all, the purpose of the joint venture is to make money in China. Serge Chuluk is crazy to cling to OT221 because he is seeking money rather than anger.

So in Serge Chuluk's idea, it is to give the joint venture company OT301 series production line.

The OT301 series mobile phones are the third model launched by Alcatel at the beginning of this year after the OT Easy HF, which received a mediocre market response, and the OT221, which sold poorly.

And the market is also very popular, sales are hot, no less than Motorol, Nokia, ERICSSON, Royal Philips, Siemens, - the main models launched by these mobile phone manufacturers.

In his opinion, taking out the OT301 series mobile phones and production lines is absolutely sure!

It is not that Alcatel is reluctant to part with OT500 and OT700, but that the joint venture company introduces OT301 series production lines, and it is enough to invest in an assembly line first.

However, if producing OT500 and OT700, the joint venture company has to introduce two mobile phone production lines at a time.

And for now, the OT500 and OT700 dual production lines of Alcatel's mobile phone department are fully operational, and there is no energy to build such two lines for the joint venture factory thousands of miles away.

OT301 is the best and only choice after rejecting OT221!

But in fact, not to mention OT221 and OT301, both are OT500 and OT700 dual assembly lines, and Zhao Changan clearly refused.

He only needs Alcatel's design and development department to immediately, immediately, quickly operate at a high speed, and develop a concept model similar to the SGH-A288 announced by Samsung.

As for Alcatel's push for OT221, Zhao Chang'an, like Serge Chuluk, was a little disappointed, but not annoyed.

Because this is a business field, there is no business without cheating, no business without cheating, and I am not a good bird, everyone is the big brother and the second brother, don't talk about anyone.

Since you want to cooperate, to put it bluntly, you need to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. Everyone should show the price and conditions first. Don’t be afraid that the conditions are too harsh, and don’t be afraid that the words are too harsh. You must know that the more picky customers are the real ones. Customers who want to buy.

It’s just that when Zhao Chang’an had a formal conversation with Alcatel’s senior management, after he seriously proposed the request of “developing a concept model similar to or even completely surpassing Seoul’s Samsung SGH-A288”, the entire Alcatel senior management collectively lost their voices in surprise. .

It's still not that Zhao Chang'an is offending them, but as a western economically developed country that has been ahead for a hundred years, they think their choice is the most correct choice.

This of course also includes and is not limited to candy bar models.

Now Zhao Changan, a young man from the ancient "Old Empire", is actually boasting in front of these big bosses who have dominated Shanghai for decades, so that they don't know whether to laugh or to follow the principles of the French nobles. Kind and graceful, 'knowledgeable' pities his ignorance and stupid shallowness.

Alcatel's mobile phone research and development department is currently developing three new models, OT501, OT502, and OT701.

The prototypes of the three mobile phones are also all candy bar models.

Including on the basis of OT501, the R&D department put forward the concept machine of 'built-in antenna + subversion of traditional shape + synthesized ringtones + the only downloadable polyphonic ringtones OT511'.

What kind of rubbish is that for a clamshell?
In fact, in Zhao Changan’s previous life, until four years later, Alcatel and tcl did not launch a foldable mobile phone. All of its models, built-in antenna mobile phones OT310, OT512, OT715, OT525, color screen mobile phones OT535, OT735 , OT735i, OT556, OT557, OT756, OT757, which gave up the OT key and entered the era of the OK key, are all bar machines!

It can be said to be tough to the end and never turn!

Then in 05, it was basically yellow, sold the mobile phone business to tcl, and left in a dark way.

Even Nokia, which didn't launch its first folding flip phone, the Nokia 04, until 7180.

After the hot sale of mobile phones, 7260, 7270, 7610 were launched quickly, followed by 05, 7280, 7370, 7390 in 7500,——

Fortunately, Nokia repented at the last moment and entered the folding mobile phone project in an all-round way.

Otherwise, in 04 and 05, it would have been overthrown by the mighty world trend like Alcatel, Sagem and other die-hard candy bars, instead of the mobile phone business continuing for another ten years.
