Back To 1995

  Chapter 980 Stretched to death bold and starved to death timid

  San Jose, Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park, is still brightly lit at this moment, and countless engineers and personnel from various departments are still busy.

  Starting tonight, not only Alcatel mobile phones are busy, but hundreds of Alcatel mobile phone industry chain manufacturers all over the world are working overtime.

   Song Yang looked at Ertian, who had been pacing back and forth after returning from the press conference at the San Jose Convention Center, and couldn't help shaking his head.

   Even though he has become one of the most powerful figures in the technology industry, at this time, Ertian obviously can't hold back. There are indeed people who can do things like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

   But the sales of P4 are related to the revenue of Alcatel mobile phones, and also related to whether Ertian can sit securely in the position of the head of Alcatel mobile phones. When it comes to his own butt, how many people can be as stable as Mount Tai.

If the P4 mobile phone encounters Waterloo, of course it will not be said that Ertian will be kicked out immediately, but the myth of the Alcatel mobile phone will be shattered. Bige is invisible and intangible, but it can be bought by countless people. Men and women in the world still eat this set!

   "How about the P4 inventory?!"

  Looking at Ertian, who was not about to stop all night, Song Yang asked.

  Ertian stopped, "By the time of the global release this Saturday, the stock of P4 will have seen 7 million units!"

  After the past few times, when the P1 and P2 were released, the phone was always not enough to sell. This time the P4 was stocked, and Ertian made the Alcatel mobile phone industry chain run full capacity to produce the phone.

  But at this time, Elthian felt a little uncertain in his heart. Unlike the previous three generations of flagship phones, the reputation of the P4 is really mixed. Whether it can make users buy it madly is anyone's guess.

  If the P4 sales decline, the entire Alcatel mobile phone inventory is estimated to explode. The value of these millions of phones will exceed three or four billion dollars.

  Thinking of the inventory worth billions of dollars, Ertian has trouble sleeping and eating. I am afraid that until tomorrow, before the first day of pre-sale, Ertian will not be able to sleep.

  Looking at Ertian's expression, Song Yang shook his head and said to him, "No one can never be surpassed. What Alcatel mobile phones need to do is to make changes as much as possible to keep users fresh!"

   Now Ertian estimates that he has already bet all his thoughts on smartphones a few years later.

But even if a smart phone is launched, it is as strong as the later Apple, and it has experienced a seven-year itch. After several generations of phones, it has also been angered. If life is just like the first meeting, the first meeting will always be beautiful But after a few years, maybe the two would hate each other, and Xiao Tiantian became Mrs. Niu...

People are like this, let alone mobile phones. After Alcatel mobile phones and smart phones are launched, there will be only a few generations of phones, and they will also face today's predicament. It's all inevitable.

Song Yang's words made Ertian fall into deep thought. He knew that he was a little worried about gains and losses, but for him, he could get to where he is today. In the past few decades, he never dared to think about it. He didn't even dare to do it in his dreams. dream!

But right now, the sales and revenue of Alcatel mobile phones have surpassed Motorola, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Ericsson and other established manufacturers. Standing in front of Alcatel mobile phones, there is only one Nokia left. As long as Nokia is defeated, Alcatel Mobile phones can cap the throne of the global mobile phone empire.

One step away from success, Alcatel mobile phone is just one step away from becoming the overlord of the new generation of mobile phones, and Ertian will also become a figure in the history of science and technology. At this point, Ertian will inevitably worry about gains and losses .

   "Song, what do you mean?!" Ertian sat down and asked Song Yang. Ertian had no doubts about Song Yang's vision.

In the office building of the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park, many people are walking around. The marketing department, public relations department and other departments are constantly busy making phone calls, communicating with distributors, distributors, agents, and online and offline sales channels. communicate.

"After the smartphone, the mobile phone industry may hardly make any new major changes in a short period of time. It is more about continuous improvement of mobile phone performance, more powerful chip processors, higher resolution screens, more powerful cameras, etc. !

  What Alcatel mobile phone needs to do is to enter other industries and develop new mobile phone supporting facilities, smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, VR helmets, balance cars, etc., to attract users' attention! "

   It sounds like these things are fancy, but in fact, they are all based on the functions of smartphones, and the technology has been unable to advance.

If the functions of mobile phones can continue to develop epoch-making functions, then these things can appear on the mobile phone, and there is no need to develop smart watches, bracelets, VR helmets and other things. Had to open up a new track.

Ertian opened his mouth. He could think of these questions, but he still didn't ask them in the end. These things have been developed by him and Alcatel for many years. I am afraid that they may not be able to develop all of them by the day he retires. .

   As for the future, even Song Yang couldn't see clearly, let alone Ertian, he was very clear about how much he weighed.

In the future, whether Alcatel mobile phones will be surpassed by other manufacturers, Ertian can't control it. Anyway, he will not wait until Alcatel mobile phones go downhill before retiring. On the contrary, he will be the most brilliant in Alcatel mobile phones. At an incomparable moment, Alcatel was sent to the market, and then he retired, leaving his legend in the world.

   Even the autobiography, Ertian is starting to think about it now, and he learned it from Welch. Ertian doesn't expect to be Welch, but he will never be a blame man!

Song Yang didn't wait until the pre-sale of the Alcatel P4 was released, so he and Irene, Greg, Marcus and others set off for New York, where they had to deal with an important matter and were invited to participate in a movie 's premiere.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is about to be released. As the major shareholder of the producer, Song Yang will naturally be present. After all, Song Yang talked about the script with the movie's leading actress at the Late Night Hotel. At this time, the movie is about to be released. Song Yang Yang did not participate, it is really unreasonable.

   On the second day, the discussion about the P4 flagship phone intensified. Many technology media were criticizing this as the most failed model in the history of Alcatel's mobile phone.

   "Alcatel mobile phone is about to encounter Waterloo!"

  "Arrogance is the original sin, and Alcatel made such a mistake!"

Looking at various media reports on Alcatel P4, the dealers and agents of Alcatel mobile phones are a little confused. They don’t know whether they should stock up so much this time. The next time a new machine is released, they all spend a lot of money to store up the goods, and then slowly ship the machine after the market is short-sold. The risk is a bit greater, but the profit is also extremely large!

  Facing the P4 this time, these distributors and agents were a little confused. They didn’t know whether they should continue to stockpile the goods.

  Equally worrying, there are scalpers. Over the past few years, a whole set of scalpers have formed around Alcatel mobile phones, and even many gangs have joined them. They take advantage of this node every year to make a lot of money.

After all, compared with licking blood, the risk of this job is much lower, but the profit is not low at all. In P1, there were only some small scalpers doing this job, but looking at those small scalpers, relying on These things have been bought into new cars, and the gangs can't help it anymore when they spend money in nightclubs. The big gangs are still a little reserved and don't want to do these "unrefined" things, but the small gangs can't care about it.

In a slum community in New York, a few men with tattoos on their backs and men with vicious expressions sat inside. There are many big gangs in New York, but there are even more small gangs. Big gangs, let alone pay attention to what they get, and do what they get.

A few people are sitting together right now, and one of them is a tall and thick man with a long scar on his face. He can tell at a glance that he is not a character to be trifled with, "Boss Dwight, do you want to do this? If you get it, you can buy a total of 600,000 dollars!"

  The man with the scarred face said to the man sitting in the first place, who was also tall and thick, and the other staff were also gearing up.

The leader of the man was holding a few thick newspapers to read at this time. In the past, he was unwilling to glance at these things, but now, he had to look at them. After all, it was related to the life and death of their small gang. Well, the hundreds of thousands of dollars is their entire family property, and they borrowed part of the dollars from other gangs to raise money. If they lose money, their small gang will basically be wiped out, and maybe Dwight himself will suffer.

But the wealth and the insurance are asking for money. Dwight is not using the $600,000 to buy other contraband, but P4 mobile phones. According to past experience, as long as you buy the phone on the day it goes on sale, you can return it all within a week at most. Ben, sell the machine at an increased price, and the price of a machine can be increased by tens of dollars, and at least it can earn about 50,000 to 60,000 dollars. If there are overseas channels, the profit can be doubled!

   There are risks, but compared with other contraband, the risk of this thing is actually the smallest, and it will not attract the attention of the Federal Police.

Reading the reports in the newspaper, Dwight felt a pain in his head. He didn't understand those evaluations. Looking at the people under his command, Dwight gritted his teeth, "Damn it, go out and find people, and get me all P4s. Spot goods!"
