Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Chapter 179 Rice mobile phone is launched

After returning from Hong Kong, Qiao Ruida temporarily put down the company's affairs and returned all her energy to the school, because the final exams of the semester were approaching, and most of the subjects that started this semester would have final exams within this week. Since there were so many subjects to be tested, Qiao Ruida was either taking tests or on the way to the examination room during this week. Fortunately, Qiao Ruida has a golden finger to help her. All the textbook content and common exercises are copied in her mind. She can cope with these exams easily and get high scores without any difficulty. She does not have to stay up late every night to study like her three roommates. Cramming.

A week later, all the exams were over and the summer vacation was coming. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing packed up their gifts and left the Peking University campus. However, they did not go home. Instead, they moved to their courtyard house in Shijia Hutong and lived an enviable life. Living together.

In the past week, the sales of Reda's first-generation mobile phones were still booming. The one million mobile phones that Qiao Reda had copied before were all sold out in just five days. Later, 20 recently produced Ruida mobile phones were retrieved from two foundries, and they were sold out again within two days. The original two foundries have limited production capacity, and the two newly found foundries have just adjusted their production lines and begun arranging for trial production of Ruida mobile phones. It will take some time to form effective production capacity. In order to fill this gap in production capacity and prevent sales of Reda's first-generation mobile phones from stalling, Qiao Ruida had no choice but to activate the golden finger again, copy one million Reda-first mobile phones, and give them to the company for sale.

Time has arrived in July before we know it, and the sales of Reda's first-generation mobile phones have slowed down. This is partly due to the gradual saturation of the market, but the bigger reason is that similar competing products have appeared on the market. On July 8260st, Rice Company held a press conference to release their rice phone. Compared with the first generation mobile phone of Ruida, the rice phone also uses the Qualcomm Xiaolong MSM4 processor and is also designed based on the Android system. The hardware configuration is very similar. Only the phone screen is smaller at 1999 inches, but the price is much cheaper. Only [-] yuan. This price once again broke the bottom line of domestic smartphone prices and gave consumers a huge impact. Relying on its low-price strategy, Rice Company stole a lot of attention from Reda Technology and achieved good sales.

On this day, in the general manager's office on the 16th floor of Hailong Building, Liu Jiayu handed a kraft paper-colored packaging box to Qiao Ruida and said: "Boss, I have bought the rice phone you asked me to purchase. Now the sales of this phone are very hot online. , in order to buy this mobile phone, I organized a dozen colleagues to participate in the rush purchase."

Qiao Ruida took the box, opened it, and took out a mobile phone with a black casing. After turning it on, she held it in her hand and played with it for a while. In fact, Qiao Ruida had used this first-generation rice phone for a long time in his previous life, and it was also the first smartphone he purchased. Now an almost identical mobile phone appears in front of Qiao Ruida again. This feeling is quite magical. Qiao Ruida handed the phone to Liu Jiayu and said, "You should also take a look and evaluate this phone."

Liu Jiayu took the phone and pressed the power button to light up the screen. He frowned and said, "This phone looks too ugly. The body is made of a lot of plastic. It feels cheap. The screen is very small. The body-to-body ratio is also very low, but the screen quality is pretty good, with bright colors and high definition, with almost no pixel particles visible.”

Qiao Ruida nodded and said: "This rice phone uses a 4-inch screen. Compared with the 5.5-inch screen of our Ruida phone, it is indeed too small, but it is enough for daily use. It has been popular since last year. The screen of the popular iPhone 4 is only 3.5 inches, which is not as big as the screen of this rice phone."

Liu Jiayu slid his finger to enter the desktop and performed a series of operations and tests until he stopped after more than ten minutes. She pondered for more than ten seconds, organized her words, and then commented: "The system fluency of this rice phone is not bad, but it is worse than our Reda first-generation mobile phone. In terms of battery life, taking pictures and videos, and charging, In terms of speed and other aspects, the gap is obvious, and it should not have an impact on the sales of our Reda mobile phones."

Qiao Ruida shook his head and did not agree with Liu Jiayu's judgment, "You have to know that the price of rice phone is only 1999 yuan, which is 500 yuan cheaper than the basic model of our Ruida first-generation mobile phone. This 500 yuan price difference is very important to us It is nothing to these high-income people, but it is not a small number to those migrant workers with limited monthly income. In their view, the two mobile phones have similar functions, and whichever one they buy can meet their daily needs. In order to save money, a large number of consumers will choose to buy rice phones. This is evidenced by the significant decrease in sales of our Reda phones in recent times."

Hearing Qiao Ruida's analysis, Liu Jiayu couldn't help but frowned and said, "Then what should we do? Are we going to follow the price reduction of rice phones?"

Qiao Ruida pondered for a while and said: "The price still needs to be reduced, but not too much. Our Ruida first-generation mobile phone is much better than the rice phone in terms of hardware configuration, the appearance is also much better, and the price is higher. That’s right. Consumers are not fools. They can tell which phone is better. As long as our Ruida first-generation phones are not too expensive, they will still be willing to pay for better looks and better performance. In this way Well, Manager Liu, please inform me and ask the people in the sales department to find a reason to conduct a price reduction promotion. The price should not be reduced too much. The basic Ruida first-generation mobile phone is set at 2299 yuan, and the upgraded and top-end models, The price is also reduced by 200 yuan, which is the same as the price during the 618 period, and does not include backstabbing customers who purchased in the early stage. The price of offline stores should not be lowered, but some gifts should be given to customers who buy Reda's first-generation mobile phones. A pair of our self-produced high-end Bluetooth headsets and an 18W fast power bank will be given as gifts, which are simple and practical, and can also promote our mobile phone peripheral products."

"Okay boss, I will inform you about the price reduction of the mobile phone." Liu Jiayu put down the rice phone in his hand, turned around and left the office.

After seeing off Liu Jiayu, Qiao Ruida sat back in her seat, played with the rice phone in her hand, and said to herself: "The rice phone has appeared, and it was released more than a month earlier than in the previous life. This is the legendary Is it the butterfly effect? ​​If rice phones are available, then smartphones from other domestic manufacturers are already on the way. By next year, I’m afraid there will be a battle between dragons and tigers.”
