Daguo Technology starts with mobile phones

Chapter 8 Huaqiangbei Remote Login

At Nebula Technology, Liu Dalang is looking at the data collected by the new marketing director Amir. Nebula 1 series mobile phones have shipped an average of more than [-] units per day in the past three days.

And these [-] units were put into the market like nothing, the Xingyun mobile phone store was full of people, and as soon as a batch of goods arrived in the store, they were immediately snapped up by the third parties.

There is also market research on televisions...

"Boss! Two people came to you and said they were your fellow villagers in Huaxia!"

"Huh? Let them in!"

The two figures walked into the chairman's office, Liu Dalang took a closer look, and immediately made an overjoyed look:

"Oh! Uncle Zhang! Why are you here!"

He didn't know the young guy next to him, but he looked like a programmer, and he was so familiar with the temperament of a programmer.

The older uncle is none other than Zhang Jianzhi, the operations director of Kivu Mobile in India. Kivu Mobile has already withdrawn from the Indian market, but Zhang Jianzhi has not returned to China.

"It's been a long time! Let me think about how long it has been. In 08, we met for the last time in Huaqiangbei Market, and I told you—"

Liu Dalang took Zhang Jianzhi's words:

"You told me that feature phones will never be eliminated. It turns out that you are wrong. Apple, which has changed the world, has seized the first-mover advantage, and we have lost the best opportunity!"

Zhang Jianzhi looked lonely, but Liu Dalang was not polite: "When I asked you to be the CEO of Dalang Technology, you rejected me, but you were willing to be an operations director at Kivu Mobile."

"Didn't Kivu claim to be going back to China to make high-end mobile phones? Why didn't you follow? With you here, Kivu might not be wiped out by ZTE in one round, right?"

Zhang Jianzhi blushed and blamed himself, "Hey, I'm too pedantic! I can't keep up with the trend of the times. I didn't come here to ask you for a job, but to recommend someone to you!"

Technology is developing too fast, he is old, it is normal that he cannot keep up with the trend of the times, but Lin Dong next to him is just 20 years old.

"What ability do you have?"

"I……"

Lin Dong seemed a little inarticulate, and directly handed an "Apple 4s" to Liu Dalang.

As soon as Liu Dalang got started, he knew that this "Apple 4s" was a fake. Not only was the weight wrong, but the screen size was also slightly different from the genuine product.

Pressing the power button, what surprised him was that this "Apple 4s" did not have an Android robot. When he entered the main page, he thought it was IOS6 at first glance, it was so similar!
Customized reminder ringtones, lost mode, siri, Apple Maps, etc. are all available. Isn’t this a serious IOS?
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, the only shortcomings are the lack of fluency, the animation is blunt, and some details are harmless.

If this is sold at domestic train stations, it is guaranteed that every sale will be accurate. How can ordinary people clearly distinguish such a slight difference from the genuine product.

"This imitation was made by Lin Dong. He has the ability to copy the functions of any system as long as he reads them once."

Zhang Jianzhi explained a little bit, which made Lin Dong a little embarrassed, but Liu Dalang didn't believe his one-sided words:
"Even if you only copy the appearance of IOS6, it's impossible for one person to make it. Do you think I don't understand technology or programming?"

Zhang Jianzhi quickly explained:

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry, it's true that Lin Dong didn't make this alone, there are too many codes, and we still have a team."

Liu Dalang: "..."

Edit, you continue to edit, if you really have such a fierce team, you would have washed the Indian counterfeit mobile phone market with blood, how could you have fallen to this point?
Under Zhang Jianzhi's narration, Liu Dalang finally understood the ins and outs.

After Kivu mobile phone withdrew from the Indian market, some people followed Kivu mobile phone founder Zhang Wenxue back to China to attack the high-end market.

Some people stayed in India and dispersed to the mobile phone market in various cities. Zhang Jianzhi and Lin Dong were recruited by Nokia and became the heads of the Bangalore region.

Two months ago, Nokia's test on the durability of the Nebula mobile phone was carried out behind Zhang Jianzhi's backstage. It is not known what the purpose is.

According to Zhang Jianzhi, they wanted to create an opportunity for Xingyun Technology to enter the public eye, but Liu Dalang didn't believe it at all.

Because of this incident, the sales of Nebula mobile phones dropped a bit at that time.

As for the team mentioned by Zhang Jianzhi, there are fifteen people in total, all in the Bangalore area.

The origin of these people is also very simple, that is, the counterfeit technicians who quit the Huaqiangbei market before 2011, plus people distributed in other parts of India, there are a total of nearly 200 people.

If you say they are capable, big-name mobile phone manufacturers look down on their technology, but if you say they are not capable, they can copy whatever other mobile phone manufacturers produce from the inside out.

Zhang Jianzhi's idea of ​​coming here is very simple, to gather this group of people to create an Indian version of the "Huaqiangbei" market.

Liu Dalang smacked his lips, pondered for a while, and said embarrassingly:

"According to what you say, they can be regarded as rare talents, but our Nebula Technology has already 'washed its hands', and now it is a serious mobile phone brand, and we don't make counterfeit phones!"

Zhang Jianzhi replied immediately:
"In the future, each unit of 'Huaqiangbei' will be distributed to Nebula Technology according to the contract ratio. The specifics can be discussed~"

This is what you've been waiting for!
Liu Dalang smiled immediately, and Zhang Jianzhi quickly added: "But I have agreed, you have to share the channel for low-priced accessories, or we will cost more than you to make knockoffs!"

"no problem!"

After signing a series of agreements, Zhang Jianzhi contacted former Huaqiangbei technicians in major cities in India, and 110 of them were willing to come to Nebula Technology.

As for other people, they already have a stable life, or they want to make some money and then go back to China to open a shop, and they don't want to continue running around.

Liu Dalang respected their choice, and then rented a clothing store covering an area of ​​[-] mu in Mumbai, India's largest city, and transformed it into the new "Huaqiang North".

"Huaqiangbei remote login successful!"

Of course, the area occupied by the copycat "Huaqiangbei" is less than one-tenth of that of Huaqiangbei in China. The initial number of stalls is only 320, and there are still many vacant shops.

Relying on their experience in China, this group of people made a name for themselves in the eastern Mumbai market within half a month. More and more local asan came to rent stalls, and the electronic market developed rapidly.

The next thing is very simple, increase production capacity, increase shipments of low-end accessories, and expand the product line of Xingyun mobile phones.

At the headquarters of Nebula Technology, Liu Dalang directly arranged Lin Dong into the research and development department of Nebula Technology.

To his surprise, Lin Dong didn't seem to care about the salary here at all.

This guy is not human at work. If he is not so hungry that he is dizzy, or sleepy enough to keep his eyes open, he will never move away from the computer and has been researching Nebula OS.

As a result, Liu Dalang had to arrange a special employee to deliver meals to Lin Dong regularly every day and remind him of the rest time. Once the working hours exceeded 12 hours a day, his wages would be directly deducted.

"Hey, what is this called!"

Other capitalists tried every means to squeeze the value of employees, wishing to let employees work 25 hours a day and cut their wages in half.

When we arrived at Liu Dalang's place, we had to watch out for Lin Dong not to work too long and collapse every day.

After all, the optimization of Nebulas OS 1.0 now depends on Lin Dong and his friends.

On the other hand, after Amir's market research, Liu Dalang obtained accurate data on the Indian TV market.

Samsung, LG, and Sony account for about 30% of the entire TV market, and domestically produced Haier, Changhong, Hisense, etc. account for about 40%. As for others...

All kinds of messy brands, if you say they are counterfeit brands, they have registered serious trademarks, and they are not three-nothing products.

To say that they are not counterfeit brands, they do not have their own technology, and all they produce are low-quality TVs assembled with low-cost components.

It’s no wonder that Xiaomi’s TVs were killed in the Indian market later. The high cost performance and low price made them crazy in China, let alone India.

在这里一台32寸大牌电视机的售价是3万卢比起步，本土贴牌22寸、24寸电视机为1～2万卢比。

Of course, you get what you pay for, and a TV set worth Rs.

"Can you imagine seeing black and white TVs after 2010?"

Liu Dalang has long been used to the 65-inch and 75-inch 4K full-screen TVs of later generations, and there are even some transparent TVs, giant screen projections, etc.

Going back to the era of black and white TVs for a while, I am really not used to it, and the picture quality is really impressive. Coupled with signal problems, there will be snowflakes and blue screens from time to time.

This has also strengthened his confidence in entering the TV market. As long as Nebula Technology can produce a TV with a high cost performance of less than 1 rupees, it will definitely be able to wash the Indian market.

Amir said directly: "Many Indians may not buy a smartphone, but they will definitely buy a TV for their home!"

As soon as it was said and done, Nebula Technology immediately set up a relevant project team to enter the market and conduct in-depth research on the TV needs of third parties.

At the same time, the Nebula Technology Industrial Park is in full swing. Every day, countless Nebula 1 series mobile phones are shipped from the warehouse assembly area to branches across India and "Huaqiang North" in Mumbai.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jianzhi, the copycat version of "Huaqiangbei" expanded rapidly, and officially changed its name to Mumbai Electronics City, with a slogan:

"In Mumbai Electronic City, you can buy any electronic product you want!"

一台苹果4只需要3999卢比，一台苹果4s只需要4999卢比，一台三星S6012，只需要1500卢比！

Who wouldn't be tempted to buy the latest smartphone with the "highest technology" on the market for only one-tenth of the price?
Normal people know it's fake, but so what?It's not that it can't be used?Do you still want to buy the real thing at this price?

Buy it back and tear off the unknown brand logo on the back, and then paste the Apple or Samsung logo. At first glance, who would know that it is a counterfeit phone?

Of course, Mumbai Electronics City does not only sell counterfeit mobile phones, but also genuine products, and the prices are also cheap, but it is still the same sentence:
Newcomers who have just arrived had better find an experienced driver who knows the goods, or they will just wait to be cheated!
