Chapter 123
Xiaomi is more troublesome. As an Internet company, the mobile phones they sell rarely have offline repair points.
It is not as good as the blue and green mobile phones blooming everywhere.
Usually, consumers buy it, but if it breaks, they can only mail it to repair or return it.
Even if there are repair points in cities, you have to travel far away, which is very troublesome.
Many middle-aged and elderly people have basically never heard of the Xiaomi brand, nor can they see their physical stores offline, they do not know the real situation of the mobile phone, and what the operating interface looks like.
Often, salesmen in blue and green factories only need to slide the page of their mobile phone twice and then click the app to see how fast the app opens.
Then those people will really think that this phone is very good.
After all, many people will not deliberately study mobile phone configurations. They buy computers with their eyes closed. As long as there are enough gifts, they can be fooled by computers from a few years ago.
In fact, blue and green manufacturers are similar. If the salesperson at the dealer casually fools them, consumers will believe it.
Once, Chen Yi had a friend who was fooled to buy a low-end mobile phone two years ago for 5,000 yuan. Chen Yi wanted to come to scold the salesperson.
After buying it, the man played the game and felt it was a bit stuck. When asked about his friend, he was told that the processor was too low-level.
The other party retorted without any belief that his phone was bought for 5,000 yuan, so how could it be low-end?
Then the friend explained for most of the time before she was willing to listen.
So now most people don’t know much about hardware. If you say it’s good, they will think it’s good and trust you very much.
After all, as soon as the brainwashing advertisements were released, they were sponsored on TV variety shows and endorsed by various celebrities on billboards on the street.
Ordinary consumers will naturally think that this is a good thing. Since they are on TV, they will definitely buy it without losing money.
Such examples include Naobaijin, which is clearly ordinary melatonin, which can be sold for dozens of times the price.
This is the effect of being fooled by merchants' advertisements.
At the same time, the blue and green salesperson also gave a lot of iron pots, small fans, cooking oil, headphones worth 9.9 yuan, etc., which made customers feel that they had made money and they would not lose at all.
In comparison, this is why the mobile phone stores of blue and green are spread all over the country.
And Xiaomi can seem to have won most of the sales on the Internet.
But they suffered a great loss in the absence of offline stores and few offline stores.
In the domestic market, they only need to build the least offline channel, and they will not be at the bottom of the country in the end.
You should know that the number of people buying mobile phones offline is definitely more than those who buy mobile phones online.
They later realized this and decided to open a physical store offline. It was not too late, so they could make up for it.
After all, in the era of mobile Internet, the frequency of replacing mobile phones is much higher than that of computers. Some people even change their phones once a year after half a year.
But the driving recorder is different. If you use this product, you have to use it all the time until it is scrapped...
And it also has a long service life.
Chenyi also plans to sell driving recorders to all parts of the country by giving concessions to dealers.
The offline market is definitely something that any hardware manufacturer cannot ignore.
The biggest disadvantage of online shopping is that you cannot touch the product at the first time, so frequent refunds occur frequently after you get it.
Among Shen Yi's peers, there are even many people who don't believe in online shopping.
Therefore, it is not possible to only engage in online sales now, but it is not possible to ignore online sales.
Therefore, we must take a two-pronged approach and do not ignore the markets on both sides.
Although it is a bit difficult to operate this way, it is not without chance.
Even if you spend too much money, it doesn't matter if you don't make up for the time being. You can make it back quickly by relying on the profits of the game, but if you don't have any spare money, he will have spare money.
As for pricing, we need to look at the specific cost after the things are released, and then consider the current level of wealth in the people.
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
As soon as he heard the frequency and force of knocking on the door, he knew it was Guan Yao, so he whispered: "Come in."
"Mr. Chen, our qualifying system is about to be released. Are there any arrangements after it is done?"
Guan Yao told him the news, which was the time for him to decide, and now he needs to confirm it again.
"Okay, if there is no problem, it's fine." Chen Yi was very concerned about this matter, after all, this is a very important point to retain players.
"There are no arrangements. Isn't the Olympics coming soon? Then let the employees work for half a day and go home to watch the Olympics in the afternoon."
"Okay." Guan Yao was happy to hear this news, because holidays and Sundays mean that she could play games with Shen Yi again.
Recently, she has also become an Internet addicted girl and has played many games she has developed.
Chen Yi looked at the work report she had handed over and noticed her contribution to the game.
She mainly uses technology flow and uses her own ideas to solve many programming problems she encounters.
"I didn't expect you to have such talent for programming. It's a pity that you learned accounting. You should have learned computers at the beginning."
Chen Yi has also seen it during this period and feels that her salary is a bit unworthy of her efforts and should be increased slightly.
But after hearing this, Guan Yao's lips raised slightly: "If I had learned computers at the beginning, I wouldn't be able to settle the score for you today."
"Haha, that's true, but your talent is simply amazing. It's much better to take the programming path than accounting."
When she heard this, she began to praise Chen Yi again:
"That's not what you taught me. My level is still much worse than that of the teacher."
Chen Yi asked Guo Guanyao to call him teacher, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually call him.
"It's a pity that you are so strong that you don't even type in code."
Guan Yao felt a little regretful and felt that if Chen Yi led them to write code, the efficiency would definitely be faster.
He might have completed something that might have taken two or three months to do in half a month.
After all, he was a man who once made a game a week.
"I'm busy with hardware issues now. It's too brain-consuming to make hardware. There are many things I don't understand and I need to learn now."
Shenyi helped his forehead.
"When the hardware problem is completed and this small hardware company can get on track, I will take you to write code again and do some big things."
After hearing this, she was also very curious about the big things that Chen Yi said. After all, in a battle between the gods, she can now earn tens of millions per month.
If you do something big, what will it be? What impact will it have on the current Internet world?
Can it be disrupted again like the antivirus software industry?
Guan Yao was very excited when she heard this. After all, Shen Yi could make the company like this now, and he might be able to be so powerful in the future.
"Then I hope this hardware company will get on track as soon as possible. I really want to see the boss typing code."
