Rebirth: I Want to Surf

I don't know when, coming to the capital once a year to do a press conference has become a must-have course for Bai Yongxiang.

At first he didn't have much confidence, he just sold his dreams with Yao Yuan, shouted passionate slogans, and built a golden body for himself. But the dream is called a lot, and it is substituted into it without knowing it, and the fake has become real.

Meizu has experienced two generations of phones, and now it is the third generation.

Bai Yongxiang's transformation has been successful, his vision and style are completely different, even his demeanor has become calm and reliable, just like the few hairs on his head.

He arrived in the capital in the evening, had a meal and rested, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

He didn't mean to rest, because he knew that Yao Yuan would definitely come over overnight - this person always has unlimited energy at work.

"Boom boom boom!"

At 10:30, the customary three knocks on the door sounded.

He went to open the door, and there were Yao Yuan and Cheng Wei outside. Yao Yuan gave a big hug when he came up, and said with a smile: "Old Bai, you and I are like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way, we meet once a year!"

"This example is too bad. Who is the cowherd and who is the weaver girl?"

Bai Yongxiang also laughed.

"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl don't know, but the cow is here anyway!"

Cheng Wei suddenly raised his head and made a horn gesture, which made the two of them laugh. If the three alternate rookies saw it, they would definitely admire the five-body throwing the ground, this one action alone, at least five years of skill!

Having had two experiences, everyone seems to be able to handle it with ease.

After chatting for a while, Bai Yongxiang took out two mobile phones, yes, two.

One is Meizu 3.

In terms of appellation, several high-level executives are undecided between Meizu 3 and Meizu 2s.

Because now they are more excited and not as trembling as they were at the beginning. They think that the new machine still has no breakthroughs in design. It is just an upgrade of software and hardware, and it cannot perfectly present the "small circle breathing light" that Yao Yuan said. I am sorry to call it Meizu. 3.

In the end, it was Yao Yuan who made the decision. It doesn’t matter what it’s called. This generation didn’t make a breathing lamp, so the next generation will work hard.

He had seen the prototype before, and this was a finished product. He carefully took it out of the box and held it in the palm of his hand. The biggest impression was that it had grown in size.

The screen of the first generation is 3.4 inches, the screen of the second generation is 3.5 inches, and the screen of the third generation has reached 4 inches.

Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 dual-core processor, frequency 1.5G Hz, rear 8 million pixel camera, 1GB memory, 4GB capacity, up to 32GB capacity expansion...

"Updates are too fast!"

Bai Yongxiang fought on the front line and felt the deepest, saying: "Last year, only mid-to-high-end machines could use 1G Hz processors. Only a year later, dual-core processors came out.

The four major mobile phone chip makers have all produced dual-core chips. Samsung and HTC already have dual-core finished phones. It is said that the 4S that Apple will launch is also dual-core.

It seems that overnight, the world is turned upside down.

Last year, Meizu 2 was still a mid-to-high-end configuration, but this year it has become a mid-to-low-end configuration. If you don’t install an 8-megapixel camera, you will be embarrassed to take it out... But it is also a good thing. The price of our supply chain has been reduced. The cost can also be reduced a little. "

"Hey, apart from Apple, how much money can mobile phone manufacturers around the world make from mobile phones?"

Yao Yuan played with Meizu 3, turned it on and tried it, and the game experience was even better. The 99 series APP was pre-installed neatly, and the Meizu store directly blocked WeChat.

The obvious change is that the technical support provided by 360 has added a serious "mobile phone housekeeper".

"What happened to other manufacturers?"

"Like a hungry wolf!"

Bai Yongxiang used an adjective and said: "Operators continue to increase their subsidy for contract phones. ZTE, Huawei, Coolpad, Lenovo, Gionee, Tianyu, etc. are all gearing up to do a big job in the second half of the year."

"Are they all thousand yuan machines?"

"They can only make thousands of yuan phones, and they don't know how to make good phones. Oh, by the way, OPPO and vivo have great ambitions, and they want to launch their own flagship smartphones."

"Good guy, troubled times are coming!"

Yao Yuan heard the names of these manufacturers, as well as the overseas giants Samsung and HTC that have already entered the market. Starting from this year, all major players have entered the market.

Everyone will fight from the blue sea to the red sea, and fight until ten years later.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Yuan looked at the second mobile phone, which was a prototype—Meizu's newly established sub-brand, Meilan!

Meizu 1 has sold over 3 million units, and Meizu 2 has sold 3.8 million units so far. The sales volume of a single model is invincible, second only to Apple. The sales volume of other manufacturers is not as good as that of a single model, but they have many models and the total sales volume is considerable.

Meizu came into being, one is to supplement the style, and the other is to sink into the thousand yuan mobile phone market.

The next two years will be the most popular time for thousand-yuan mobile phones. Zhonghua Kulian produced a bunch of bad phones, but they got a lot of subsidies from operators.

The positioning of Meizu has been clear, and it is impossible to lower the price.

Then let Meizu get on.

Probably the relationship between Xiaomi and Redmi...

According to the data in 2022: Apple can earn 1,456 yuan by selling an iPhone, followed by Huawei, which earns 426 yuan; and Samsung, which earns 262 yuan.

Vivo can earn 55 yuan, and OPPO can earn 48 yuan. Xiaomi is the worst, selling a mobile phone costs 22 yuan...

This data is not necessarily accurate, but it can illustrate some problems.

Xiaomi's impact on the high-end market is not ideal, and users' impression of it is that it is cost-effective. Huawei started out as a bad phone, but later successfully launched a high-end phone, which can only be called awesome.

In other words, Huawei is the only domestically-made high-end machine that is relatively recognized by users-of course, there are a lot of sprays.

Yao Yuan chose Xiaomi's route when he started, and he will inevitably face the same problem in the future.

But at this moment, he unceremoniously left a dozen mobile phones behind as gifts as usual, and said: "Don't worry about the press conference, I am familiar with you, and I want to promote Weichat now, which happens to be able to promote a lot of mobile phones resource.

There is currently a program "The Voice of China", you can name it exclusively, and you will not lose money. "

"good!"

Bai Yongxiang nodded, he doesn't understand entertainment, anyway, Mr. Yao is right.

"How is overseas sales doing?"

"We have sent people to Europe, America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia to set up branches, and are negotiating with each other. You know, this is not something that can be done overnight."

Meizu plans to debut at the end of the year or early next year.

Based on the current accumulation, both of them regard the next-generation phone, namely Meizu 4, as the first flagship phone.

Unknowingly chatting late into the night, it was time for Yao Yuan to leave. He looked at the time and said with a smile, "Old Bai, do you predict how much the sales of the 3rd generation machine will be?"

"With our configuration and price, it will definitely explode..."

Bai Yongxiang thought for a while, and said confidently: "I think at least there is... Hey, why don't we write it on paper to see if we have a good understanding?"

"sure!"

Yao Yuan loves to play this kind of small game, so he tore up two pages of paper, wrote them out, and handed them to Cheng Wei.

"Mr. Yao and Mr. Bai are worthy of being partners for many years, and they both want to go together!"

Cheng Wei casually praised, and opened the paper, and there was a big number written on it: 6 million+!

(besides……)
