Chapter 533
One day before the mobile phone press conference, Monster Heavy Industry finally released newsworthy of everyone’s discussion, the price of the new mobile phone.
—— with the price of 6 388 Yuan, many people were surprised for a while. Isn’t this price the same as that of Apple 7 plus?
The media website immediately reprinted the latest news.
[The sword refers to Apple, what exactly does Monster Heavy Industry want to do?]
Many editors have attached their own comments below, and they think Monster Heavy Industry’s approach is highly inappropriate.
No mobile phone manufacturer is willing to set the price with Apple’s mobile phone, because at the same price, consumers do not hesitate but are only ready to buy Apple mobile phones.
In a glass building in the CY district of Beijing City, the chairman of Apple’s China headquarters, like Ye Qing, was sitting in the office following the news.
Madison is 47 this year and five years ago he was only Apple’s regional sales manager in China. As a result, Apple has grown four times the thanks to the Chinese market, which they despised the most, and the Chinese market had surpassed all of the European and American markets with a huge turnover beyond their reach both.
Today, China has become a battleground in the global mobile phone market.
However, Madison, the chairman of Apple’s headquarters in China, was never at all suspicious of his competitors and never put them in front of his eyes. Without last night’s video conference with company boss Tim, in which he told him that the president of Monster Heavy Industry had threatened to defeat Apple in front of the United States President, Madison wouldn’t even bother reading the news on the web.
Luckily last night Tim, the manager broke the news to him, otherwise, how could he read the jokes behind the pricing?
“If you want to beat Apple, you don’t have to set the same price!” Madison found it too funny: “At the same price, don’t consumers necessarily choose our Apple phone? And that part of the cell phone image that was on display.”
Madison curiously uploaded this image and enlarged it.
The image only captures the top of the phone. After being compressed by the website, the image can only be enlarged twice. But Madison was instantly stunned after zooming in.
It’s not that he was surprised by the brand-new logo in the photo, half-hidden away. Sitting on the floor below his hip is a mechanical engineering chair, with a metal logo that shines like a diamond, which has already cultivated its immunity. Was Madison surprised there was no camera on the back of this phone?
historical
Judging by the location of the two silver horn trademarks, this image is clearly the top of the phone, but Madison couldn’t find any evidence of the camera’s presence. It’s impossible for a cell phone not to have a camera and businesses that dare to do so unless they want to close their doors early.
Is the camera placed below?
Madison immediately rejected the idea, and major cell phone manufacturers have already experimented with all camera positions in order to innovate. It is better not to put it underneath, as the user is holding the palm of the phone, which happens to completely block the underside.
By professional sensitivity, Madison could see this deficiency at first glance, the problem of the lack of a camera. The media and the majority of users reacted slowly, and some pointed it out one after the other. Then came the swarming curiosity: impossible for a cell phone not to have a rear camera, so where is the camera hidden?
The same price as Apple’s mobile phone and the missing camera sparked an overwhelming discussion on the Internet.
Madison, the chairman of Apple’s China headquarters, like these people, can’t think of anything after thinking about it for a long time. He just doesn’t want to think about it, some like Madison who is inactive and doing well are going to add some flair to the Monster Heavy Industry cell phone conference tomorrow. Who said in front of the president that he is going to beat Apple?
Madison logged into Apple’s Chinese branch account on Weibo and posted such a dynamic post on the official Weibo.
— The same price gives customers two choices.
The meaning of Madison’s sentence is very simple. If you want to compete, you have to set a price one or two thousand Yuan lower, customers won’t have to choose between our two products, but at the same price as ours. Don’t blame customers for purchasing our products.
Less than five minutes after the news was posted on Apple’s official micro-blog, the Monster Heavy Industry also sent one.
—— We will only give customers one choice!
This almost conceited response sent by Ye Qing immediately blew up the majority of Internet users and the news media.
“I’m counting on ~ their president just met the President of the United States, and he’s taking on Apple as soon as he returns to China. What happened there?”
“That kind of domineering president tone makes me so attractive. Who will save me? I’m going falling.”
“Stop talking, and I want to buy a plane ticket to Shanghai City, I want to go to the mobile phone conference!”
“Handsome is beautiful, but it’s embarrassing to say that, so everyone will buy Apple phones...”
This response, of course, also made Madison laugh for a long time, and it certainly spoke of her keen interest in the press conference.
At this point, Madison’s office door was clicked lightly.
Madison said aloud: “Come in,” and a young blonde woman walked into the office and said, “Mr. President, tomorrow is the opening day of the second official Hangzhou Apple Store. The location is in the PDX district. I feel a little bad. I wish to ask you, to go tomorrow to Hangzhou to attend the opening ceremony in my place.”
The visitor was his administrative assistant. Madison thought about tomorrow’s schedule, then nodded and agreed.
......
There are only 22 stores in the whole China area, including the newly opened direct store. Each one is the face of Apple and the opening ceremony must be attended by high-profile representatives.
“Then I’ll organize tomorrow’s flight for you.”
“Huh?” Madison suddenly stopped the assistant who was about to exit, asking her, “Hangzhou City, is that very close to Shanghai?”
“Yes, Mr. President, it’s about two and a half hour away.”
“What time is the opening ceremony set and what time is the launch of the new Monster Heavy Industry mobile phone?”
“The ceremony is at nine in the morning, and their conference call is scheduled for three in the afternoon.” replied the assistant with a smile without thinking.
When the assistant left the office, Madison held his chin with his hand and sat there thinking. In his heart, there was a longing to witness the launch of Monster Heavy Industry’s new mobile phone.
There are many reasons he had this idea: on the one hand, he’s curious, and on the other hand, the schedule is consistent, just to have time. But most of all, he wanted to kick the ass of the president of Monster Heavy Industry.
......
Shortly after entering the palace, Mr. President received this young president, but the behavior of this young president was so shameful in front of him, moreover, he pronounced in front of Mr. President, that he wants to bring down the big company called Apple. Then if he will attend this new conference on mobile telephony, something unpleasant could happen between him and the president...
On Madison’s side, he had the opportunity to meet and shake hands with Mr. President. This kind of flattering opportunity with multiple benefits, no one else has the chance to seize it!
Come to think of it, and Madison was overwhelmed with happiness. But he still doesn’t have the motivation and the opportunity to get the media to focus on him.
Both of those points were resolved very well, and Madison immediately used her certified Weibo to post a message. “I’m very interested in Monster Heavy Industry’s new mobile phone, but I don’t have a press conference invitation card.” Then he clicked on the official Monster Heavy Industry WeChat account.
“If Mr. Madison is free, we will give you a warm welcome.”
Within a minute, Ye Qing responded with Monster Heavy Industry’s official WeChat account.
