Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 701: Do I need a small account to chat with Yang Wenwen?

"This broken headset has been broken in less than three months. Every time I take it out of my pocket, the cable gets tangled. Do people who use headsets frequently have this problem?"

Before introducing the Bluetooth headset, Zhou Jing first took out a crumpled pair of old wired headphones from his pocket and spoke while sorting out the tangled wires.

"Have."

"My headphone cable also broke, and one of them is mute."

"What brand of headphones does Mr. Zhou have?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou must be using the Ideal Headphones!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Those who didn't know Zhou Jing was about to announce the Bluetooth headsets didn't understand what Zhou Jing meant and thought he was just complaining about the headsets. Some people took out their own earphones and looked at the tangled headphone wires and felt the same way.

"Mr. Zhou, your headphone shapeshifter."

At this time, a backstage staff member ran onto the stage and handed Zhou Jing a pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Zhou Jing took the Bluetooth headset box which was slightly larger than an eggshell. After the staff left, Zhou Jing said, "In order to solve the problem of earphone cables getting tangled and broken easily, we changed the shape of the earphones."

"What we do is very simple. We just cut off the headphone wires and put the earbuds into this mysterious eggshell for evolution. Then we get headphones that don't need wires."

As Zhou Jing spoke, he pulled out the wire of the wired headphones, held the Bluetooth headset box in his left hand, held the earbuds of the wired headphones in his right hand, and waved them outside the Bluetooth headset box. Like a magic trick, he clamped the earbuds between his little finger and palm, and used the time to turn around to throw them on the ground.

"Mr. Zhou can also perform magic."

“Is the new product really a wireless headset?”

"Packed in that tiny box, wireless headphones must be so small. I thought they were over-ear headphones like what was said online."

Thousands of eyes in the audience stared at the "eggshell" in Zhou Jing's hand in amazement.

"After evolution, we got wireless headphones that no longer need wires. This is our first Smurf Bluetooth headset."

Under the gazes of everyone, Zhou Jing opened the Bluetooth headset box and took out two blue earbuds.

“So small!”

"What's the principle without wires?"

“Bluetooth headphones are of course connected via Bluetooth, just like Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers.”

"But Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers also need power. Can such small headphones hold batteries?"

"."

The people at the scene looked at the headphones in Zhou Jing's hands and found it hard to understand. If they were over-ear headphones, it would be completely understandable, as over-ear headphones can be equipped with batteries. But if these headphones were equipped with batteries, how small would the batteries have to be?

"The Smurf uses our latest 4.8 Bluetooth technology, which not only allows you to listen to music, but also supports voice calls, making the headset more convenient."

"The earphones themselves can last two and a half to three hours, and the earphone case can provide ten hours of battery life for the earphones. When the earphones are not in use, they can be charged at any time by putting them in the case."

Zhou Jing opened the PPT of Bluetooth headsets on the big screen and introduced the specific parameters of the headsets.

“This is awesome.”

"It still has to be an ideal, and the real focus is on technology."

"That's equivalent to 12 to 13 hours of battery life, enough for a day."

"With this headset, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the teacher when listening to music, watching TV or watching movies in class."

"."

Seeing the parameters of the Bluetooth headset, people at the scene were eager to buy it. Such headsets are too tempting for people who often use headsets, and what they care most about is still the price.

"Its price is 299 for the standard version and 359 for the high-end version."

"Ideal 2s 2799, headphones 359, a budget of more than is just right."

After hearing the price of Bluetooth headsets, those who are interested and have the money to buy them will immediately open their phones to see if they can pre-order them.

After the introduction of the Bluetooth headset, Zhou Jing invited Yang Mi to the stage. After Yang Mi came on stage, she sang one of her famous songs "Love Offering" and then endorsed the Ideal Bluetooth speaker on the spot.

The press conference ended at almost four o'clock, and Zhou Jing returned to the backstage amid the applause of the audience.

"You've worked hard. Are you sweating?"

Bai Xiyao felt relieved and opened a bottle of water and handed it to Zhou Jing.

"It's a small scene. Did I say anything wrong?"

Zhou Jing took the wine, took a sip and said.

"No, I admire you for not using a teleprompter the whole time."

It was Zhou Jing who took the stage at the press conference, and Bai Xiyao felt even more nervous.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Bai, the pre-sale has started and the backend has begun processing orders."

The deputy manager of Ideal Technology's sales department walked up to Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao and said.

“Pay more attention to the information of review bloggers.”

Bai Xiyao reminded that Ideal Technology provided test machines to some more reliable reviewers before the press conference, and only allowed the reviewers to release test information after the press conference. It is inevitable that some reviewers will cause trouble, and the brand has to guard against unscrupulous reviewers, some of whom will exaggerate some irrelevant parameters.

Zhou Jing was going back to BJ in the evening. He did not stay in the conference center for long after the press conference. He rested for a few minutes and then left the conference center. Bai Xiyao drove Zhou Jing back to the villa. It was getting late, so Zhou Jing went back to the villa to pack his luggage and go to the airport. Bai Xiyao drove him there and they found a restaurant near the airport to eat.

"The online pre-sale price of mobile phones has exceeded 30,000, and the pre-sale price of Bluetooth headsets has exceeded 23,000."

After finding a private room in the hotel, Bai Xiyao looked at the messages on her phone and said.

"After the pre-sale of the first 200,000 units of the phone was completed, 10,000 units were released every day."

The pre-order discount will last until Double Eleven. In twenty days, Zhou Jing will once again carry out hunger marketing. In fact, it can't be called hunger marketing. Those who order during the event will enjoy the discount, but the delivery will be delayed, so as to achieve the effect of supply exceeding demand of mobile phones.

The Bluetooth speaker first launched by Ideal Technology has already set the digital world abuzz, and has successfully made Ideal Technology and Ideal 2nd Generation smartphones a hot topic on the Internet. Last year, the Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers first launched by Ideal Technology subverted traditional audio systems, and today’s first launch of Bluetooth headphones has once again subverted the traditional headphone industry.

At this point, the brands that make traditional headphones are probably cursing.

Investors with a keen sense of smell have already sold out their stocks of traditional technology companies this afternoon and instead invested heavily in stocks of technology companies listed companies that have cooperated with Ideal Technology, waiting for the market to open tomorrow.

Other mobile phone manufacturers were equally anxious and urgently convened a meeting of engineers to launch the Bluetooth headset project.

"You look most elegant in a white shirt. I wonder how many crazy fans you have charmed."

Bai Xiyao said with a smile as she looked at the photos of Zhou Jing's press conference circulating online.

"Ninety-nine percent of Internet nymphomaniacs are ugly and lack love."

Zhou Jing doesn't care about the girls who worship him on the Internet. Only those who are not loved by anyone will blindly worship and chase stars. Pretty girls are the ones who are treated like stars. They are either busy dating or raising fish. How can they have the time to worship others?

"If people hear what you say, they'll be heartbroken. There are many beautiful female internet celebrities who are always trying to take advantage of your popularity."

Bai Xiyao clicked on a photo of an internet celebrity who reposted Ideal Technology’s Weibo and showed it to Zhou Jing.

"This one's good." Zhou Jing has no interest in internet celebrities, no matter how pretty they are. Most of them are just showing off their looks and playing tricks. In the eyes of internet celebrities, boys with money are the most beautiful, and handsomeness is secondary. They are just trying to market Zhou Jing by riding on Zhou Jing's popularity, and even have wild fantasies about attracting Zhou Jing's attention, marrying into a wealthy family, or being supported by Zhou Jing. Not only internet celebrities, but also some celebrities do this. There are more than one or two 18th-tier celebrities who pay attention to Zhou Jing and flirt with him.

Bai Xiyao said: "We have a six-month technology protection period. Other companies will have to wait until the second half of next year to make Bluetooth headsets. By then, our second-generation Bluetooth headsets will be on the market."

"We will make a high-end Bluetooth headset, which will cost more than 500 yuan for mobile phones and will be launched together with the second generation of Changxiang next year. The sound quality and waterproofness requirements will be higher."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

Bai Xiyao nodded and said, "Okay, which second-generation processor should I choose?"

"The Imagine 2 uses a castrated version of this generation of chips, while the Imagine 2s uses a downgraded version of the Ideal 2."

Ideal Technology is currently developing the LeXiang series of smartphones priced at 700 to 800 yuan. After the LeXiang series is launched, the Imagine series will be upgraded to a level of around 1,500 yuan, and the processor will be upgraded accordingly.

"I understand. Have you figured out how to face Gu Jia?"

Bai Xiyao wrote down the second generation processor in the memo of her mobile phone.

"If you make a mistake, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention."

Zhou Jing hasn't figured out how to face Gu Jia. Chen Jiaqian's matter is easy to explain, but Yang Wenwen's matter is difficult to deal with.

"It's good to have this awareness."

After eating and sending Zhou Jing to the airport, Bai Xiyao drove back.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Zhou Jing arrived in BJ. Gu Jia came to pick him up at the airport as usual. This was the first time Zhou Jing and Gu Jia met since the Shura Field broke out the day before yesterday. Zhou Jing was full of guilt, while Gu Jia tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, otherwise the atmosphere would be awkward.

"The launch was a great success. The popularity of Ideal II and the Bluetooth headset almost overshadowed the new phones that were launched earlier."

Gu Jia said as she helped Zhou Jing hold the bag.

“Are there many people complaining about the prices?”

Zhou Jing thought that now was not the cruelest time. Only when Ideal Technology’s Tianji chip came out would it be a dimensionality reduction attack on friendly competitors.

Since the second half of this year, competition in the mobile phone market has continued to intensify, and two more companies have declared bankruptcy.

“Not much. Is there much room for price reduction after Bluetooth headset technology matures?”

After leaving the airport, Gu Jia took Zhou Jing's arm and said.

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's hand and said, "The low-end ones can be reduced to a few dozen yuan, and we need to make higher-end ones, priced at more than a thousand yuan. When new things first come out, we pursue novelty, and when they become popular, we pursue quality and grade."

"That's right. Rich people will never wait for prices to drop."

Gu Jia understood it as soon as he heard it. Just like smart phones, Apple is a symbol of high-end. Even if it is not as playable as other brands, Apple is still the standard for rich people and the first choice for ordinary people to save face.

After finding the car, Zhou Jing put the suitcase in the trunk, sat in the passenger seat and said, "Is Zhou Zhou asleep?"

"I'm asleep. I cried so much that I couldn't call you before going to bed tonight. I went to sleep because I was tired of crying."

After getting in the car, Gu Jia took off his windbreaker and put it on the back seat, started the car and said.

Zhou Jing reached out and put his hand on Gu Jia's leg and pinched it. At this time, Gu Jia was wearing a black slim sweater on the upper body and blue skinny jeans on the lower body. The high-waisted jeans made her waist look thin.

The neon lights in BJ were flickering at around ten o'clock in the evening. The weather in BJ in late October was already chilly, and the colorful neon lights seemed to carry the chill of late autumn.

"You can wear thick sweaters and long johns now. Today's press conference was very lively. The lighting and big screen were much better than last year's press conference."

Gu Jia watched the live broadcast of the press conference on the Internet TV in the afternoon. The press conference site was full of technology.

“The conference center is the best venue in Tangdu.”

"."

Gu's mother hadn't gone to bed yet. She was watching the child in Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's bedroom. Although the child was asleep, she was worried about having no one around to watch over her family. After Zhou Jing and Gu Jia returned home, Gu's mother went back to her own bedroom.

BJ has started heating, and the villa is as warm as spring. Zhou Jing returned to the bedroom to massage the child first. Only the desk lamp was on in the bedroom. In the dim light, the little girl on the bed made even breathing sounds. Zhou Jing looked at the child and couldn't help but smile. He gently poked the child's face with his fingers.

"I woke you up and saw that you didn't want to fall asleep again for a while."

Gu Jia came to the bedroom with two cups of boiled milk and said softly.

"If you don't want to sleep, I'll coax you into sleeping slowly."

Zhou Jing kissed the child's cheek and said.

"Drink the milk, take a shower and go to bed early. You don't have to go to the company tomorrow morning."

Gu Jia knew that Zhou Jing had been very busy these days. He came back straight after the company's press conference. No matter how young or healthy he was, he couldn't withstand such fatigue.

Zhou Jing got up from the bed, put on a bathrobe, picked up the milk and drank it in two gulps before going to take a shower.

“How much pre-sale is expected to be achieved before the phone is officially launched?”

Gu Jia followed him into the bathroom with her milk, closed the door and leaned against the door frame and spoke.

"The total number of online and offline copies should be about one million."

Zhou Jing's estimate is still relatively conservative. Ideal Technology has comprehensive sales channels, including an official website, Tmall and JD stores online, and nearly 700 stores in cities across the country offline. A pre-sale of one million in ten days is not a very high goal for Ideal mobile phones.

"Where are the Bluetooth headphones?"

Gu Jia finished drinking the milk, put down the cup, washed her face and brushed her teeth.

“It’s hard to estimate the number of Bluetooth headsets right now, but it should not be less than Ideal 2s.”

The Bluetooth headset is Ideal's first launch. In the short term, there will be no substitutes in China or the world. The price of Ideal's first-generation Bluetooth headset is not low. The standard version at 299 will discourage many people, but those who can afford the Ideal 2s don't mind the extra three or four hundred. Since they have bought the Ideal 2s, most people who buy the Ideal 2s will also buy the Bluetooth headset.

Ideal Technology's investment in the research and development of Bluetooth headsets is not high, less than 20 million yuan. The R&D cost can be recovered based on one million pairs, which means the R&D cost of one pair is less than 20 yuan. Adding all the hardware costs and production costs such as headsets, headphone boxes, and chargers, the average cost of a pair of high-end versions is less than 100 yuan, and the net profit is 100 to 200 yuan based on the current pricing.

Gu Jia said: "The current style is not suitable for wearing during exercise, and it is easy to fall off. We can make a cross-body sports style, which will not fall off when hanging on the ear during exercise. Some people like to listen to music while running."

“It’s already being designed and will be released next April together with the sports watch to form a sports series.”

The sports series would be an ideal long-term series.

“The sports series is a good theme.”

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Gu Jia rolled up the legs of her pajamas, wet them under Zhou Jing's shower head, and rubbed herself with foot soap to rinse.

After Zhou Jing finished taking a shower, Gu Jia mopped the floor clean.

Zhou Jing went to the study, took the company documents out of his bag and put them away. He saw the spare mobile phone on the desk, picked it up and unlocked it. The small account was still logged in. Zhou Jing listened to the movement of Gu Jia next door and looked at the messages of Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen on the small account.

The message on the small account stopped at noon on the 19th. After learning that Zhou Jing was exposed, Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen stopped sending messages to this small account.

Zhou Jing had just logged out of his smurf account and put down his phone when Gu Jia walked in and asked, "Do you still need a smurf account to chat with Yang Wenwen?"

"and"

Seeing Zhou Jing's hesitant reaction, Gu Jia wondered if she had really guessed it right!
