Chapter 251 The Big Brother Mobile Phone Goes on Sale 3
Shen Wancheng, Gu Jinxing, and Li Shaojie stepped off the stage together.
After Shen Wancheng, Gu Jinxing, and Zhang Qidong bid farewell to the two invited hosts, Li Shaojie stepped forward.
Li Shaojie smiled and said, "Thank you again, Ms. Shen, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Zhang, for giving me the opportunity to endorse Big Brother. I believe Big Brother will definitely continue to be a hit."
"Shaojie, you're too kind. Your fame has greatly helped our promotion. Your reputation is your asset. We invited you because of your reputation, not because we know you. So, this endorsement is something you earned through your own abilities, and you deserve it."
"Haha, Ms. Shen is as eloquent as ever. Hong Kong Island doesn't need another star like me, but you guys are one of a kind, the big brother of the East."
Shen Wancheng and Li Shaojie exchanged polite greetings as they entered the building.
Currently, only three floors of this building belong to China Mobile and China Technology, but Shen Wancheng believes that sooner or later, China Mobile and China Technology will each have their own entire building.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Shen, judging from this trend, the first batch of 10,000 mobile phones should sell out today. I think it would be fine to buy 10 units now?"
As the spokesperson for mobile phones, Li Shaojie would naturally receive a mobile phone from Dongfang Technology, but Li Shaojie also has family and friends.
Li Shaojie wasn't in a hurry to buy it at first, but seeing the frenzy of people rushing to the directly operated store, he felt that if he didn't buy a few now, by tomorrow the whole of Hong Kong would know about this mobile phone, and the pre-orders would probably be several batches behind.
Li Shaojie didn't know how long the production cycle of the mobile phone was, but he expected to think about buying it tomorrow, and even if he pre-ordered it, he might not receive it for another month.
Shen Wancheng didn't care; it didn't matter who she sold to.
This mobile phone isn't a luxury item; it's a practical product that everyone needs, so she doesn't need to screen customers.
She and Gu Jinxing were very confident in the mobile phone, so after the first batch of 10,000 mobile phones was produced and tested, the second batch began production.
The second batch will still produce 10,000 units, but for the third batch, they'll have to wait and see how the mobile phone goes on the market today.
After Shen Wancheng agreed, Zhang Qidong had already asked his assistant to bring over ten mobile phones without her having to tell him.
Each mobile phone weighs about 1.5 jin (0.75 kg), so ten of them would weigh 15 jin (7.75 catties), which is quite heavy.
Shen Wancheng watched as Zhang Qidong's assistant led someone back. The person was carrying a large box, and the way his fingers gripped the box tightly made it look like he was carrying something tiring.
Shen Wancheng secretly decided that she needed to quickly upgrade this big brother mobile phone.
They're just taking advantage of the time lag when foreign brands enter Hong Kong; in fact, they're also listed overseas.
But once her mobile phone, which she has successfully lost weight, is launched, it will be the leading mobile phone in the world, and then the Eastern mobile phone can be sold overseas.
Shen Wancheng, who is very familiar with mobile phones, knows that the competition in the mobile phone industry has always been about two aspects: reducing costs and upgrading.
Lowering costs can make mobile phones more widespread. Mobile phones are always a practical product, and the low-end market, which is cheap and easy to use, is a big pie.
As mobile phones become more and more feature-rich, more and more enthusiasts will pursue these features, making upgrades equally important, mainly because this sector offers high profits.
The current mobile phones have limited functions, so there is only one model available.
But once the new features are developed, mobile phones will be divided into flagship, mid-range, and low-end models.
But that's a story for another time.
After paying for the ten mobile phones, Li Shaojie had his assistant carry the box containing the phones, while he himself carried the mobile phone that already belonged to him and left the building smugly.
Today is the launch day of the mobile phone, and Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing have been at the Oriental Mobile company.
I also eat lunch at the company.
From the very beginning, both Dongfang Technology and Dongfang Mobile have valued employee benefits, with the company covering all lunchtime meals for its employees.
Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng both ate the company's employee meals.
Zhang Qidong originally wanted to order a meal at a five-star hotel just for Shen Wancheng because she was pregnant.
But Shen Wancheng refused.
"Work meals definitely need to be nutritious and healthy. If I order separately because I'm pregnant, and the other employees see it, won't they suspect there's something wrong with the meals the company provides?"
Zhang Qidong never considered skimping on employee meals, so he never even thought about this issue.
"Isn't it?"
"You don't think it's because there aren't many companies providing employee meals right now, and many companies don't pay much attention to employee benefits. But as there are more and more companies in the future, some companies will want to attract outstanding talent with employee benefits, but they are also worried about the company's operating costs, so they will cut corners in this area. If we are going to do it, we should do it well from the beginning."
Zhang Qidong thought it made sense, and he smiled at Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing, saying, "As a woman, Chairman Shen is indeed more thoughtful than any man could imagine."
Shen Wancheng and the other two had just finished lunch when Zhang Qidong's assistant rushed over to tell them.
"Chairman Gu, Chairman Shen, General Manager Zhang, all 10,000 mobile phones have been sold out!"
Zhang Qidong's expression changed, and he even seemed a little incredulous. "You mean they're all sold out?"
Zhang Qidong's assistant was also very excited.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, they're all sold out, and the transaction is complete."
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise.
The sales of the mobile phone exceeded their expectations.
They originally thought the mobile phones would definitely sell out on the same day, but to their surprise, it was only noon, just 3 hours after the 9:30 a.m. press conference started, and all 10,000 mobile phones were sold out.
At the same time, Gu Jinxing's assistant, Cheng Ming, also arrived at the office.
"President Gu, President Liu of Shengshi Film Industry, President Yan of Yan Group, and several other directors and presidents of major Hong Kong groups have all called you. They all want to order mobile phones from you."
this.....
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing exchanged a glance.
They also thought that if the mobile phone sold well, some business partners and wealthy people in Hong Kong would definitely come to them to buy it.
But they didn't expect the Big Brother to sell so well today.
They only reserved one hundred mobile phones. Is that enough to distribute?
Ahem, one unit would certainly be enough for a wealthy person, but since they've come to our door to ask for one, it's definitely not just one unit.
Gu Jinxing said to Cheng Ming.
"Tell the bosses who come to us that each person can only buy two mobile phones now, but there is no limit to the number of pre-orders. Their pre-orders will be shipped first after the second batch of products is completed and passes production testing."
Shen Wancheng nodded and said, "That's indeed the only way."
Shen Wancheng turned to Zhang Qidong and said.
"The directly operated stores are also displaying signs for pre-orders of the mobile phone brand. At the same time, we called the management in for a meeting to discuss expanding the mobile phone factory and determining the production volume of the third batch."
