Chapter 618: Lenovo: We Just Don’t Follow
With Chen Yu's order, Wu Kai went to five countries: the United States, Germany, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
Every time he went to a country, Wu Kai chose the most upscale local hotel and invited reporters from all over the world to participate.
As for inviting them, of course, it was to see Wu Kai bragging.
"Everyone, this is our pear 3 generation. Many people may ask whether the pear 3 generation is an mp3 or a watch. I can only say that pear is both an mp3 and a watch, that is, it is not an mp3 nor a watch. So, what is he? Well, in fact, he is the third generation of pears."
"Traditional mp3 is no longer attractive, and there will be more changes in future mp3."
"This is a gift from Huanyu Technology to the world."
Although he is abroad, Wu Kai's bragging ability has not diminished.
On the contrary, Wu Kai is even more handy when playing abroad.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu, what do you think of the comparison between the pear 3rd generation and Apple's iPod?"
"Apple's iPods have been imitating the idea of our pear 2nd generation. Do you think the iPod can be compared with pear 3rd generation?"
"But some consumers say that the third generation of pears is too expensive."
"I just want to say, it's not expensive because he's worth the price."
"Some people in the industry have analyzed that the third generation of pears has many flashy functions, but it is actually useless."
"I don't know who said this, I want to say this question must not be the real user of the pear 3 generation. We have a survey, as long as the user who bought the pear 3 generation, his satisfaction is 99.9%... As for why it's not 100%, they say the price is too cheap."
There is, of course, a lot of bragging in here. But it’s not bragging, it doesn’t matter, the most important thing is that through these product introduction meetings, the third generation of pears has further attracted the interest of people around the world. Especially those who have participated in the product introduction meeting, when the light is turned off, the pear 3rd generation that Wu Kai is wearing in his hand has a fatal attraction.
Even if you don't look at other functions, just this appearance, just this idea, it is worth the user's money.
...
Gionee mobile phone.
"Mr. Liu, the third generation of pears is very popular, should we follow up?"
"MP3 seems to be a niche market. Last year's sales were only about 2 million units. Is it a little less?"
"In the past, the sales volume was a little less, but the third generation of Lizi is said to have sold 300,000 units in a week."
"Is the data real?"
"It should be true. Now Huanyu Technology is said to have reached a cooperation with Taiwan's htc and is ready to increase horsepower production. If we do not follow up, I am afraid we will miss this opportunity."
"Okay, first prepare a feasibility report, and then go back to the company to hold a meeting to decide this matter."
"Yes."
Gionee Mobile, who was still on the sidelines, started their action.
...
"Liu, you are in charge of technology. Is it difficult for the third generation of pear technology?"
"Mr. Xu, we took apart the third generation of pears and studied it. It's not particularly difficult."
"Oh, tell me."
"Although the Bluetooth technology in the third generation of Pear is not popular, this technology was invented very early, but the cost is slightly more expensive. In addition, his electronic compass technology is also based on the Hall effect principle proposed more than 100 years ago. We can realize this technology by placing the current conductor in the magnetic field. As for how to achieve altitude, it can be measured by air pressure, which is not very difficult, as long as a barometer is added.”
"It's that simple?"
"It's really simple."
"But why hasn't anyone done it before?"
"Mr. Xu, the technology of the third generation of Lizi is not technology, but ideas. No one has had this idea before, or someone has had such an idea, but he has no ability to turn the idea into reality. This idea came to fruition, and it surprised a lot of people.”
"So, pear 3rd generation doesn't have any technology anymore?"
"It's not that there is no technology, there are still technologies, such as their electronic display technology, their electronic screens are doing very well, and we may not be able to catch up for the time being. However, we can compete with them in a dislocation and develop the mid-to-low-end market."
"Okay, Xiao Liu, you immediately lead the team to design the product."
"Yes."
Gionee is in action, and naturally, the waveguide is indispensable.
Of course, it's not just them, Panda, Jin Zheng, Amoi, TCL... also followed suit.
However, they didn't tell anyone.
This kind of thing has always been carried out in secret. If this is told to others, wouldn't it expose business secrets?
However, not all companies will follow up.
For example, Lenovo has no follow-up idea at this time.
Not following up is not to say that Lenovo has ignored the pear 3 generation.
Mainly, Yang Yuanqing, the head of Lenovo at the moment, is preparing for an acquisition.
They Lenovo is preparing to buy ibm's personal pc computer business.
If Lenovo can complete the acquisition, it will be a huge help for Lenovo.
"Rui Yong, can the Bluetooth sound quality of Lizi 3 be solved?"
"It can't be solved for the time being, but it seems that many users don't buy Pear 3 to listen to songs."
"What's that for?"
"show off."
"Show off... hehe."
Yang Yuanqing laughed dumbly.
In fact, he also thinks that the third generation of pears is not bad, but Yang Yuanqing's eyes are more poisonous.
After he researched the third generation of pears, he found that the third generation of pears was not a very mature product.
For example, the Bluetooth function.
Although the Bluetooth function can listen to songs, the sound quality is too poor and the experience is not enough.
As for the compass, altitude, thermometer and other functions, they are not particularly practical.
Although it can be done, what kind of compass and altitude should an ordinary person look at?
The most practical, on the contrary, is his electronic display time function.
After all, he can be used as a watch.
However, if so, what is the difference between the pear 3rd generation and those electronic watches?
Now many electronic watches can be done with only a few dollars, and the third generation of pears has come up with more than 5,000 yuan.
"In this case, you should study it first, I still have something to do here."
Although the pear 3 generation looks good, Lenovo's most important business is computers.
As long as the computer business is guaranteed, it doesn't matter if other business is not done.
This is also the reason why Lenovo's mobile phone was beaten by Huanyu Mobile, and Yang Yuanqing was still fine.
Moreover, this time he also made up for it.
As soon as there was news from IBM, he was the first to contact IBM to acquire their personal computer business.
Also because of his efforts, he was ahead of other computer companies.
Because of this matter, Liu Chuanzhi, the head of the family, even praised Yang Yuanqing a few days ago.
If this acquisition is completed, he will have no problem taking over.
However, Yang Yuanqing is also a careful person.
Although he is not going to follow up on the third generation of pears, he is going to ask the heads of other manufacturers about the situation.
"Mr. Liu, Huanyu Technology has recently released a third generation of pears, which seems to be selling well."
"It seems to be selling well."
"So Liu is always ready to follow up?"
"How come? We took a look. The third generation of pears were bought by the rich second generation. Why should we follow up? Do you have a lot of money?"
When Mr. Jin Li received a call from Yang Yuanqing, it was naturally impossible to tell the truth.
Of course, if it was before, Gionee's boss was also ready to talk to Yang Yuanqing about some dry goods.
After all, Lenovo is the big brother, and there is no harm in having a better relationship with the big brother. But the few times he thought that the big brother took the lead in doing things, they all made them suffer. In the end, he almost didn't raise a white flag to surrender to Huanyu Technology.
This time Yang Yuanqing called, and Mr. Jin Li didn't care if he was the big brother or not, he just fooled around.
"I think so too."
Yang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction and hung up the phone.
Then, he called several others.
"What, Mr. Yang, have you heard that other mobile phone manufacturers have followed up on the third generation of pears?"
"Yeah, you don't know?"
"I don't know, no one seems to be there."
"The third generation of pears looks very popular, why don't you follow up?"
"What's there to follow, mp3 is a niche product and can only sell more than 2 million units a year. We can make a lot of money when we go in. Otherwise, Mr. Yang, you have a big business in Lenovo, so try it first? "
"Hey, no, no, our Lenovo has also been short of funds recently."
This time, Yang Yuanqing felt more at ease.
