Chapter 151 "Phone Replacement" Frenzy

As soon as the price is announced, plus the "two big things" of the phone: the battery and the chip are both produced by Stardust Technology's subsidiaries, which are guaranteed in terms of quality. Even if the other configurations are inferior, it will not affect normal use.

The most important thing is that Meizu Note does not look cheap. From the packaging to the actual phone, it is hard to think that this is a [-] yuan phone. The four color schemes are also very youthful and beautiful. Combined with its extremely cost-effective price...

It's really a proper entry-level steel cannon.

What?No after-sales service?
From the chip to the screen to the material of the fuselage, Meilan note focuses on a durable product that is not so easy to break. If it breaks, it is also caused by improper operation.

like water in
Another example is that he doesn't know how to use a smartphone, so he thought the phone was broken...Chen Zifan had seen in the report of the Stardust after-sales center that the phone's brightness was too low because the outside light was too bright, and the result was that the phone was dead.

He also threatened to ask Stardust Technology to compensate for the loss, but when he entered the Stardust after-sales center, he found out that it was his own problem, the automatic brightness was not turned on... But then again, the automatic brightness of the Stardust phone is very easy to use.

The built-in light sensor level is also very high. Take Stardust 3+ as an example, its automatic brightness adjustment can achieve a comfortable feeling of "non-inductive switching".

And even some of the top Android flagship phones in Chen Zifan's mind can do this very little. Stacking materials may attract many consumers, but if you want to retain users, you ultimately have to rely on user experience.

Of course, this belongs to the category of flagship phones, and has nothing to do with Meizu Note. Even if Meizu Note has various imperfections, it has to be admitted that it is the strongest among the [-] yuan phones.

Regarding the issue of after-sales service, Boss Huang started to build after-sales outlets immediately after the launch of the Meizu Note. In fact, he had wanted to do this a long time ago, because Meizu’s size is not big enough.

It is definitely different now that there is support. Regarding the strategy of after-sales outlets, Meizu originally wanted to solve it through mobile phone dealers, but this plan was directly rejected by Chen Zifan. He wanted a more complete after-sales system.

If you want to build a guaranteed after-sales outlet similar to the Stardust after-sales center, it can be small, remote, or not so anxious to expand, but it must be guaranteed and must be truly operated.

A hundred yuan machine?
What happened to the hundred yuan machine?
A hundred yuan machine is not equipped with after-sales service?

Promoting low-priced mobile phones is an unprofitable business, so why try to make money out of it?Isn’t the purpose of Meizu Note to popularize smartphones downwards?You can do it without losing money.

And from a long-term point of view, the development of smart phones has played a role in promoting economic development. Some people who do not leave their villages or counties all year round can also learn about the outside world through their smart phones.

Some agricultural and sideline products may also be able to find a suitable market through various channels, instead of rotting in the ground when they cannot find a market.

It is worth noting that the after-sales outlet that Meizu plans to build is not just for Meizu, it is more like a comprehensive after-sales center, which not only has Meizu’s after-sales service, but also attracts other mobile phone brands to join.

In the official words: "This is a project for people's livelihood". It really has nothing to do with making money or not. As soon as the Meilan note was released and there were dozens of advertisements on various channels, the sales immediately increased within a week.

The shipping capabilities of the three major operators can be described as terrifying. You can take a smartphone home with only a few hundred dollars. If you choose the contract model, the minimum cost is only 199 yuan, and you will get data every month.

Of course, no amount of traffic will last, and wifi is still reliable, so we can launch another wifi package, or combine the three to launch a big gift package of mobile phone + package card + wifi + router.

It only costs 1699 yuan to complete the whole package, plus a year of wifi, which is quite a bargain.

But this is only from Chen Zifan's point of view, because he has not really experienced the life at the lowest level. He only remembers a college roommate once said when he saw his copycat "Xinghua Mobile Phone":

"I've never touched such a nice phone..."

He was really surprised at the time, a little incomprehensible, a little want to laugh, and a little sympathetic. In short, he felt very complicated. Later, he met many people, and Xiaomi was already famous at that time.

One time when he went to a small county town, several young people who looked young gathered around a small mobile phone store. A boss held up a Redmi 1 and said that Redmi was a big brand and very expensive.

However, that Redmi mobile phone has been eliminated. You can buy a storage machine at the price of about 400 yuan at that time.

But at that level, it's not a problem with the product. Even if Stardust Technology produces low-priced mobile phones and compresses the cost to the extreme, it's impossible to only buy three or four hundred yuan, and it won't do that.

Now this model is very good, just keep it going and continue to develop. When Redmi enters the market, the price will be hit at most 699, and it cannot be lowered.

As soon as the official Meilan Note appeared, it almost directly sentenced the counterfeit smartphones to death. Some feature phone brands that were once all-powerful and brilliant in China could not withstand the pressure, and some even left their hometowns.

Such as waveguide mobile phone...

Gionee, Tianyu, and Coolpad are also suffering, but relying on the user base they have accumulated in the past, they can still get by anyway, and they have to spare energy to prepare for transformation. Bird is not good, and it has risen quickly and declined quickly.

As for whether Bird will go to Africa to set up a Transsion company to manufacture mobile phones, it is unknown~
It is also impossible for Chen Zifan to let Stardust Technology or its subsidiaries go to Africa to sell mobile phones. It is better to let the locals there resell second-hand Stardust phones to sell new phones there. He will not care about these things.

Foreign markets let them toss themselves, and Stardust Technology can manage the domestic market first.

As soon as the Meizu Note was released, it became lively in December, and Xiaomi finally started to worry about it. In planning the Redmi 12, the fledgling Rebs really lacked a little experience.

It may also be that Mi 1 is too laborious, so they have been unable to move away. Anyway, Chen Zifan will not ask more about the specific reasons. The opportunity is here. If you can’t grasp it, you can switch to other mobile phone brands to do it.

The Spring Festival in 2009 was on January 1, and December was also the peak season for car and mobile phone sales. As soon as Meilan Note appeared and promoted, it cooperated with the three major operators to sweep the entire low-priced mobile phone market in China.

As a result, the supply exceeded the demand and the stock was out of stock. You must know that Meizu has prepared 300 million Meizu notes!This can be out of stock, no one thought of it.

Selling 300 million units a month, almost catching up with the peak sales of Stardust 2.Of course, the sales ratio of products at different prices is unreasonable. If the price is low, it cannot be sold at a high price... That only shows that the gap is still large.

Meilan note is not at its peak either, the real sales peak has to be seen in the half a month after New Year's Day, that is the real peak sales period, and it has just begun, which is the warm-up of the "replacement" frenzy.

Consumers who buy Meizu Note also have a simple idea, that is, to buy a cheap and secure smartphone:

"Hey, I don't think I have to use the Stardust phone... It's not bad to buy a cheap one first!"

"This time it's a smart phone launched by a serious brand, and there is a wifi package, which is quite a deal!"

"Meilan note? It's very exquisite! Hey~ This screen is not good! But it can still be read, a few hundred dollars, and you can connect a wifi at home..."

“套餐卡？一个月月租58？抢劫呢？给我办最便宜的！12块钱的套餐！对！就那个！手机？手机我买4GB，799的那款！4GB已经够用了！”

"Add 100 to double the memory..."

"How big is 4GB and 8GB! Forget it, I'd better buy a 4GB one, just save it and use it."

"right…"

The rest are student groups, such as middle school students in boarding schools, college students who have just entered college, have average family conditions, and are still using functional phones. Limited by family conditions, Meilan note is the first choice.

At the same time~

In the Stardust community, a video about online car-hailing was very popular, and the official accounts of Polestar Automobile and Tuohai Travel even reposted it.

The video titled "First Experience of Online Car-hailing" is divided into five parts: what is online car-hailing → how to make an online car-hailing → first-time ride experience → payment, getting off → service evaluation (you can ignore this step) .

Lu Dongchang’s introduction in the video is very detailed, and because he uses Stardust 3+ with optical image stabilization, the video he shoots looks very stable.

As a loyal fan of Stardust Technology, his praise for Takumi’s travel in the video accounts for almost 98% of the space. The shortcomings are just a brief summary. Whether it is objective or not is another matter, but the introduction must be in place:
"What is online car-hailing? As the name suggests, we can use smartphones to call a car through a specific online car-hailing platform, and a car will take you from the starting point to the destination, and finally pay online. This is online car-hailing."

"The second step is how to book an online car-hailing platform. The current online car-hailing platform is only Tuohai Chuxing. There may be many online car-hailing platforms in the future, but I think Tuohai Chuxing will always have an advantage...

Far away, we only need to open the Kaikai Travel APP, fill in the personal information according to the above requirements, and then through a simple face recognition, we can enter the start and end points to take a taxi.

Note that there is a number of people who must lose here, because there are so many Xinghan minis running online car-hailing. If there is one person, it is fine, but if there are many people in the car, there are three or four people, Xinghan mini will feel very crowded!
Then Tuohai Travel will display the distance and price according to the map. For example, if I want to go to the Wetland Park now, the price is 13.72 yuan. Then after we get on the bus and arrive at the station, we only need to pay 13.72 yuan and it will be no problem!

remember!Don't pay a penny more!If the driver asks you for more money... directly report to the platform + call the police, and the platform will revoke the driver's online car-hailing operation qualification after verification. Do you understand?

Well, our current order has been sent successfully, and the driver has already taken the order. It really is Xinghan mini!Wheat yellow, the license plate number is Hai AXXXXXX, 300 meters away from us... I saw it, it was that car! "

Lu Dongchang said hello, and the owner of the Xinghan Mini who took the order stopped on the side of the road with double flashing lights. Regardless of whether this operation is in compliance with traffic regulations, at least it allows people to tell which car they should take at a glance.

"Hello, may I ask..."

"Yes, it's me!"

"The destination is the north gate of the Wetland Park. The seat belt must be fastened. The newly built road is illegal to take pictures. It is also for safety. The nearest road is not easy to walk."

"OK~"

After a simple demonstration, the netizens who watched the video immediately understood what to do. No.1 said that the appearance of the car ride was not bad, and the video was also very clear, but it was a bit too boring for just two old men to ride in the car.

Originally, Lu Dongchang imagined that a beautiful car owner would come to pick him up, because there are many female car owners who drive the Xinghan mini, but when he entered the door, he found that he was still a rough old man, and he was at least 40+, so he should be a big brother.

Lu Dongchang is also a ruthless person, he took the initiative to find a taxi... No, it was the online car-hailing driver who struck up a conversation:

"Master, how many orders can we take in a day?"

When I came up to inquire about the market, I asked the driver brother, but the brother was also experienced, so he replied without thinking: "I don't have many orders, I just like to drive, and I can earn a few packs of cigarettes by taking orders."

"Oh~ Then how do we distribute the money we earn? Next month or every other month? Do I need to pay a deposit or something? Is the platform commission high? My order is more than 13 yuan. How many points?"

driver:……

"Stop, there are too many questions. I'm just a hobby. The commission will definitely be drawn. It depends on whether you can accept it. As for the salary... You can check it out on the driver version of Tuohai Travel. There are detailed introductions on it."

"OK~"

Knowing that he talked too much, Lu Dongchang was embarrassed to keep asking. Fortunately, the journey was not far away. After editing part of the journey, the video fluency was very high, and he entered the payment link when he arrived at the station:

"If you pay, after the driver confirms the itinerary, the APP will jump to the payment page, and you can pay directly through the bank card that has been bound and opened for online banking, and it will deduct the money from the card.

did you see it?It will deduct as much money as you want. This is also one of the benefits of taking a taxi online. The starting price of a taxi is 6 yuan, and if the distance is short, the online car-hailing fee is less than 6 yuan.

Let me show you...

did you see it?It only costs more than 4 yuan for a distance of nearly two kilometers, and it can directly see the price, so you don’t have to worry about detours and extra money... The price given by the platform is the final price.

After the payment is completed, there will be a successful payment page. Below is some information of the online car-hailing driver, which can be scored. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can also complain, and the platform will verify it.

Because there will be a full recording from the moment you get on the bus. If you want to save trouble, this step can also be omitted. It’s up to you. Personally, I don’t care if I get out of the car after a few rides.

Well, the above is some brief introductions about taking online car-hailing and traveling in Tuohai. Currently only Haicheng has online car-hailing business, but I believe it will not be long before online car-hailing will spread to all parts of the country..."

The latter is a personal opinion. There are advantages and disadvantages to online car-hailing. In some cities, taxi drivers are unreasonably united, and they don’t use their meters.

It is understandable to make money and live, but the means used are unreasonable. However, at this stage, online car-hailing is mainly concentrated in Haicheng, and other places are still in their infancy and will take some time to develop.
