Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

Chapter 6 The King of Copycat Machines—Nietzsche

Zhao Lei, 24 years old, fresh graduate.

Like most of his classmates, Zhao Lei joined the workforce after graduation and became an ordinary salesperson in a pharmaceutical company.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Lei, who had been out doing business all day, finally dragged his tired body back to the rental house.

My stomach was already growling with hunger, so I took out a bucket of instant noodles from the cabinet and soaked it before lying on the sofa and enjoying a rare rest.

After working for almost two weeks, in addition to being tired, he became more and more eager to buy another work phone.

That's right.

Like most salesmen, he adds many customers' WeChat, QQ and phone numbers every day.

In just two weeks, his life and work were completely mixed. When he opened his circle of friends, it was all about work.

He hates this life.

but……

Zhao Lei sighed slightly. As a newly graduated college student, he didn't have much savings. Buying a mobile phone was already a large expense for him.

"No, I still have to buy a new mobile phone, as long as it's cheap. At worst, I'll have to eat instant noodles for another two weeks!"

…

At the dining table, Zhao Lei was eating freshly made instant noodles while taking out his mobile phone to browse major shopping websites.

His requirements are very simple, just being able to make and receive calls on a daily basis, and being able to use QQ and WeChat smoothly. Other than that, the cheaper the better!

With such a budget, first-tier brands such as Hongguo, Huawei, VIVO, and Rice are naturally a no-brainer.

The cheapest products from second-tier brands such as Meizu, HTC, and ZTE are basically over 1,500 yuan.

So he directly targeted the third-tier brands - Jinli, Lenovo, Coolpad and other manufacturers.

In particular, he has a favorable impression of Lenovo. The laptop he used for four years in college was Lenovo, and Lenovo is also a well-known brand.

Soon, he searched for the cheapest mobile phone sold by Lenovo - "Lenovo A3800D".

"Lenovo A3800D" has a very ordinary appearance. A very wide black border frames a small screen. It looks old-fashioned and rigid.

However, Zhao Lei didn't care about the appearance and clicked on the product page.

Production date: January 2015.

CPU model: MediaTek MT6582.

Number of CPU cores: 4 cores 1.3GHZ.

Operating system: Android 4.4.

Screen size: 4.5 inches.

Screen resolution: 480×854.

Running memory: 512MB RAM.

Body memory: 4GB ROM.

Battery capacity: 1700mAh.

Zhao Lei looked at it carefully and was satisfied with all the data, but when he saw the price, he hesitated.

Retail price: 599 yuan.

His psychological price point is around 300 yuan. Although he is very satisfied with this phone, the price is twice as expensive as his budget.

"Let's look at other things. It's really no good!"

In desperation, Zhao Lei could only add it to the shopping cart and then continue browsing other brands.

However, after looking around on Taowu.com, I couldn’t find any phone with a higher cost performance.

At this time, he remembered a new shopping APP that he had installed just a few days ago - "Pinxixi".

But when he went shopping on Pinxixi with full hopes, he found that the mobile phones on Pinxixi were indeed cheaper than those on Taowu.com, but most of them were knock-offs, and the quality seemed to be poor.

"It seems that I can only bite the bullet and buy Lenovo's 'A3800D', which is already the best value for money within 600 yuan!"

"It's just that I have to eat instant noodles for a few more weeks!"

Thinking of this, he reluctantly took a bite of instant noodles and prepared to bite the bullet and buy the Lenovo A3800D.

But at this moment, his eyes were attracted by a product at the bottom of the search page.

"[Official limited-time subsidy] 600 yuan, [lowest price on the Internet] only 399 yuan!"

The moment he saw this sentence, Zhao Lei felt that his DNA was moving.

My dear, this speaks to my heart.

Maybe it’s because Mo Ran’s marketing copywriting is too good.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but click in, and then entered the product details page.

100% authentic.

Official direct sales.

Nationwide warranty.

New store opening, limited time promotion.

Zhao Lei was very surprised. This kind of promotion method is very novel. After you click on the product, almost all the information you want to know is displayed.

At least he felt a little more relaxed when he saw the official direct sales and 100% authentic products.

He continued to look down.

Mobile phone brand - Nietzsche mobile phone.

Is it another copycat phone manufacturer?

Zhao Lei's interest waned a bit, but he clicked on everything and the price was in line with his expectations, so he continued reading.

Number of CPU cores: Dual-core 1.3GHZ.

Operating system: Android 4.4 (deeply optimized version, smooth and no lag).

Body memory: 6GB ROM.

Battery capacity: 2500mAh.

Front camera: 1 million pixels (built-in selfie beauty)

Zhao Lei looked at the detailed parameters while eating instant noodles, however.

Watch and watch.

His sullen voice gradually became quieter, and the movements of his hands stopped.

Is this configuration okay?

and.

What are the specially marked "deeply optimized version, no lag", "AI rendering" and "selfie beauty"? !

He immediately sat up straight, pushed the half-empty instant noodles away, then stared at the screen of his phone and continued to scroll down.

Next up is a video.

He clicked the play button, and a white "Nietzsche A7" mobile phone appeared on the screen. The staff began to slide the screen to test the system's fluency, and then opened various APPs to test the response speed...

One minute later.

Zhao Lei looked at the screen, his eyes flashing with surprise.

“So silky and smooth?”

stamp.

He was a little unbelievable and actually clicked the replay button to watch it again.

Playback ends.

See it again.

See it again.

See it again.

Unknowingly, Zhao Lei had played it five or six times. Now he could confirm that the video was not accelerated and was definitely playing normally!

In other words, this "Nietzsche A7" is really so silky and smooth!

The needle does not poke.

The instant noodles on the table have gone cold, but Zhao Lei is a little excited at this time!

If this is the case, then this phone undoubtedly meets my needs perfectly. It can use WeChat and QQ smoothly, and can make and receive calls normally!

What else do I want to associate with!

Zhao Lei did not hesitate and directly chose to place an order for 399 yuan.

After a few seconds, the order is completed!

He didn't care to throw away the instant noodles on the table, and excitedly shared the link to the university dormitory group.

"Brothers, I found a mobile phone with extremely high cost performance!"

At this time, everyone had just graduated, and the relationship was getting hot, very quickly.

The WeChat group became lively.

[Old Zhou]: "Old Zhao, please let me go. Don't try to chop me down. I'm going to get vomited!"

[Zhao Lei]: "Old Zhou, I just shared the link, I didn't let you chop me..."

At this time.

Another roommate joins.

[Xiao Ming]: "Damn it, Brother Lei, you dare to buy a mobile phone on Pinxixi, you are so brave!"

[Zhao Lei]: "???"

[Xiao Ming]: "...You are a cruel person if you dare to buy a mobile phone on Pinxixi. Do you know what brand you are buying?"

[Zhao Lei]: "???"

[Xiao Ming]: "Nietzsche! The king of copycat machines, Nietzsche! You are awesome!"

"Let's put it this way, this crappy phone can use me to live stream my handstand and shit!"

[Old Li]: “I took a screenshot.”

[Lao Zhang]: "Screenshot taken."

[Zhao Lei]: "???"
