I can see the commodity price curve

For the next period of time, Kurt's brows were furrowed.

Because the situation was completely beyond his expectations.

Fortunately, the problem is not particularly serious.

When it comes to understanding rice, Kurt thinks he has a say.

Xiaomi mobile phones have many advantages, but also many disadvantages.

For example, their system, especially the optimization of hardware, gives people a feeling that it is not up to standard.

Therefore, innovations in battery life can indeed help Xiaomi regain some market share.

But it's not a big deal.

Xiaomi's full-screen smartphone was also very popular that year and became a hit.

But it still cannot shake the status of fruit.

It should be the same this time.

Take what happened just now for example, although many people chose to leave.

But through Kurt's careful observation, he found that many people left and then came back.

In other words, these people just want to satisfy their curiosity.

Once curiosity is satisfied, the appeal of rice disappears.

after one day.

The assistant came over to report the data.

Kurt quickly stopped him from talking and said, “Wait a minute, let me guess and see if I can guess it right.

The sales volume of Xiaomi smartphones should have increased, but definitely not more than 25 percent.”

The assistant's eyes lit up: "You are so amazing.

Yes, Xiaomi smartphone sales did increase, but only by 23.8 percent in Europe.

Based on their unique battery idea, it did not meet expectations.”

Kurt smiled: “Twenty-three point eight percent is very good.

I have to admire this guy Lao Lei, even though he usually doesn't show off.

I didn't expect that it would become such a big hit with just one move.

Twenty-three point eight percent... You know, this is the European market with the greatest purchasing power.

With this new phone, he will make at least 2 billion euros."

The assistant nodded: "It should be more than this.

According to the information I received, the sub-superconductor material used in the other party’s mobile phone is very cheap.

Even cheaper than the original material.”

"Is that so?" Kurt was a little surprised, but still didn't take it seriously.

So what if costs are reduced?

Xiaomi mobile phones are designed to be cost-effective and their prices are not high.

Even if some costs are reduced, the profit is not much.

"What about our fruit? How much has it increased? Is it 90 percent?"

Kurt said this with great confidence.

Originally according to his idea, after expelling Youwei mobile phones from the European market, his own mobile phone sales would increase by at least 120%.

After all, Youwei’s sales in Europe were so good before, almost twice that of fruit.

Now that this market has been vacated, wouldn’t it be easy to grow by 90%?

Unexpectedly, the assistant said with a strange look on his face: "Boss, the sales of fruit phones have indeed increased, and they are the first in growth among all mobile phone brands.

But our growth rate is not 90 percent.”

Kurt frowned, "Not 90 percent? Then what is it?"

He couldn't accept it.

You have to know that this is the European market, a desert of standard high-end mobile phones.

If he can't pick up money with a sack here, then he is not qualified to be a CEO.

"Forty-seven percent."

"What? Forty-seven percent? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Now Kurt was really upset.

If the assistant says the growth rate is 85 percent or 80 percent.

Although he was depressed, he could accept it.

After all, when it comes to technological innovation, I have put a lot of thought into it.

But it is not yourself who really attracts attention in innovation.

But only 47 percent is outrageous.

This is equivalent to no growth at all.

Then I thought about how much effort I had put into communicating everywhere, only to be forced to drive Youwei away, and it was totally not worth it.

The assistant said: "This is true. I couldn't believe it at first, so I asked the data team to recalculate it twice.

In the end, I found out that there are really only so many.”

Kurt was silent.

After a long while, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Four-star is really amazing. I underestimated him."

As the leader in the Android phone camp, Sixin Mobile lost the Chinese market due to an accident.

But this does not mean that four-star mobile phones are no good.

On the contrary, because of the loss of the Chinese market, Sixin Mobile put all its public relations focus on the European market.

Now the big explosion has finally arrived.

However, the assistant's expression became even more strange: "Four-star mobile phones have the lowest sales growth rate among all mobile phones, only 8%."

"What? Only eight percent?

So who are the ones whose sales are actually increasing? Are you kidding me?"

The assistant waved his hands quickly: "How could that be, I am telling the truth.

As for the sales growth in Europe this time, it was not due to just one of the mobile phones, but to all the mobile phones except the 4-star.

In other words, all Chinese mobile phones.

For example, Alphabet phones, Charm phones, and even air conditioners and Hammer phones have sold a lot.

Of course, the sales of these mobile phones are not as good as rice.

But there are too many of them. You grow some, I grow some, and finally together we take over the market.”

Kurt was completely dumbfounded: "If I'm not mistaken, the air conditioner should be made by the woman who sells air conditioners, right?
And there is the Hammer phone, didn’t this phone brand go out of business?

Their bosses are already doing live streaming to sell goods, so why are they getting involved too? "

The assistant said: "It's simple, all these mobile phones use sub-superconductor technology.

In other words, they replaced all metal conductors, including but not limited to mobile phone motherboards, with the latest sub-superconductors.

This not only improves the battery life of their phones, but also significantly improves performance.

In addition, these mobile phones are all OEM-produced, so all you need to do is come up with a plan and invest money.

The electronics factory will process it according to their requirements.

Then, after some debugging, it can be put on the market.”

"Own-branded mobile phone? Are you talking about Hammer?"

"Yes, and there is an air conditioner."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Do you know what it means to make a cell phone?

That’s right, as long as he entrusts a foundry to do the work, they can help him produce the parts.

But what really determines the performance of a mobile phone depends on themselves.

Especially for software, how to adapt, optimize, and adjust it?

This cannot be accomplished by simply hiring a few technicians, but relies on technical accumulation.

Without three to five years, what you produce is just a bunch of shit.”

He became more and more angry as he spoke.

Just then, the assistant placed a box in front of him.

Kurt looked confused: "What is this?"

"Those are the phones I was talking about. If you don't believe me, you can take a look for yourself."

Kurt opened the box and froze.

Because he found that the box was filled with mobile phone boxes.

After a preliminary count, there are actually fourteen types.

Fourteen different brands of mobile phones? Is that outrageous?

You have to know that after the war of thousands of mobile phones in China, only a few mobile phone brands can survive.

If we remove Youwei Mobile, there are even fewer. When did so many mobile phone manufacturers emerge?

He took the knife and cut open the first box.

After seeing the shape of the mobile phone inside, Kurt was at a loss.

Isn’t this your own fruit machine?

Looking at the logo again, well, it’s not a fruit, it’s a blueberry.

Blueberry?

Is this the previous BlackBerry with a new name, or is it a new mobile phone company?

It should be a new phone.

After all, BlackBerry's boss is very respectable and at least he won't copy his own ideas completely.

Kurt is already prepared and will contact the legal department of Apple Mobile in a moment to prepare for a lawsuit against the owner of this mobile phone company.

He turned on the phone, and the next second, Kurt's eyes widened.

Because he discovered two things.

First, the other party did not plagiarize himself.

This phone just looks like an Apple phone, but once you turn it on, you'll notice the screen is different.

My own Apple phone has a notch screen, and the part in the middle is used to house components such as the camera and sensors.

But this phone has a standard full-screen display without a hole.

Its camera is a pop-up one located in the upper left corner.

As long as you turn on the front camera yourself, the camera will pop up.

Therefore, even if the appearance of this phone is almost exactly the same as that of Apple, it does not constitute plagiarism of appearance design.

However, what shocked him the most was not this, but the boot speed of this phone.

He found that he just pressed a button randomly and the phone turned on.

It feels no different from opening it after locking the screen.

And Kurt was sure that the phone had been turned off before.

Then he began to operate it, and then frowned.

It's a bit laggy!

What on earth are those guys in the programming department doing? Don’t they know that optimization is the core feature of Apple phones?
and many more!

He slapped himself quickly, almost forgetting that this was not a fruit phone, but a blueberry.

There is no way. The two phones look too similar and it is easy to mistake them if you are not careful.

After operating it for a while, I really experienced the feeling of being a snail.

Kurt shook his head.

What can I say about this phone? It’s just average!

In fact, it runs quite smoothly, but it is still a little worse than fruit.

Although the difference is not very obvious, it will definitely be uncomfortable if you are used to using an Apple phone.

As for power consumption, Kurt turned the screen to the brightest, adjusted the power to the maximum, and started playing.

I have to say that the opponent's endurance is indeed ridiculously strong.

He played for seven minutes before the battery dropped to one percent.

According to this efficiency, about 10% of electricity is consumed in one hour.

In other words, even at full power, this phone can still last for ten hours.

No, it's ten hours of use.

If it lasts for ten hours, it may cause misunderstanding.

Of course, this phone also has its shortcomings. I don’t know if it’s an optimization problem, but when I turned it on at full power, Kurt could feel that the phone was already heating up.

It can reach almost fifty degrees.

Of course, it only reached fifty degrees and did not rise any higher.

how to say?

He had tried the Mi phone before, and this phone was much worse than the Mi phone.

Kurt started to experience the second mobile phone.

The appearance design of this phone is not as rogue as the first one, because it copied not fruit but four stars.

Well, it’s none of my business, so just ignore it.

As for whether the boss of Four Star would curse after seeing this phone, Kurt didn't know.

Just like the previous phone, he started operating it.

After fifteen minutes, turn off your phone.

This phone is similar to the previous one, but overall it feels better than the previous one.

At least it's not that hot when you play by yourself.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth.

Two hours later, Kurt finally tested all the phones.

Then he was silent.

He looked up at the assistant and asked, "Are you sure all these phones are owned by rookies with no technical experience?"

He couldn't believe it.

Although the user experience of these phones is slightly worse than that of fruit phones.

But this is for people like him who are used to using high-end machines.

If it were someone else, they would definitely shout out: It smells so good!
After all, the price of these phones is less than half of that of Apple phones.

The cheapest one is only one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

I have to say, those guys in China are really cool.

It is impossible to achieve this without technical accumulation.

The assistant said: "These mobile phones do not have much technical accumulation. The reason why we can achieve this step is that these mobile phones are all produced by Guangming Electronics Factory."

"Guangming Electronics Factory? What is that?"

Kurt was a little confused. He was sure he had never heard of this manufacturer.

The assistant said: "The director of Guangming Electronics Factory is Guo Ziliang, and he has no real ability.

The really powerful person is his boss behind the scenes, who I'm sure you will be familiar with.

Because he owns a very well-known company: Guoyue Pharmaceutical Factory."

"Are you talking about Zhang Yue?" Kurt was certainly no stranger to Zhang Yue.

After all, Qingwen Yiqi San is so famous that everyone knows it.

What is even more well known is that rich people are much more afraid of death than poor people.

Then the assistant began to tell all the information he had collected, and Kurt was stunned:
"You mean to say that Zhang Yue discovered a sub-superconducting material called carbon monosulfide.

Then he specially applied for a patent, and then spent a huge amount of money to buy the Foxconn Zhongzhou branch in India and transferred the factory to it.

He then used carbon monosulfide as a springboard to bring together all the mobile phone manufacturers in China to jointly carry out research and development.

So with the joint efforts of all mobile phone manufacturers, the problem of mobile phone battery life has finally been solved? "

The assistant nodded: "Yes, this is exactly what makes Zhang Yue so powerful.

He demonstrated this function, and the company that had originally given up hope in making mobile phones was instantly revived.

Some wealthy people even started their own mobile phone companies.

As for the most difficult mobile phone optimization, this technology is not in the hands of those mobile phone manufacturers, but is also mastered by Zhang Yue.

He set up a mobile software development laboratory.

This laboratory now has a large number of software talents.

They will optimize the Android mobile phone system according to the requirements of all mobile phone manufacturers.

In short, they do whatever the mobile phone manufacturers ask them to do.

The most critical performance and adaptability debugging is also completed by this team.

In the end, debugging is considered successful only when everyone is satisfied. "

Kurt was silent.

He never expected that things would turn out like this.

Zhang Yue...

With his fists clenched tightly, Kurt said to his assistant: "You are now closely monitoring every move of Guangming Electronics Factory.

I want the other party’s first-hand information.”

For Kurt, except for Youwei phones, all other Chinese mobile phones are not a threat.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, these mobile phone manufacturers must fight on their own.

If they were allowed to unite, the consequences would be disastrous.

And now someone has done all this. (End of this chapter)
