Chapter 352： [Domestic advance, focus shift]

For mobile phone consumers, the price and release date of Azure-3 are their most concerned now.

This new product really refreshed their perception of smart phones once again. The industrial design of the original product of 2006 was thought to be beautiful enough.

The products developed and launched by the Cote d'Azur company for two years and devoted to R & D have once again broken their cognition. The value of the face can be called the rhythm of the explosion, and it is definitely a new generation of artifacts.

Anyway, the audience had already loved industrial design at a glance.

And don't think about it, this model is definitely more appealing for girls who love electronic products.

At the scene, Luo Sheng on the stage stopped appetizing, and said directly: "Azure-3 we also prepared two gears, the domestic retail price of the 8GB storage capacity version is ￥ 4099 yuan ($ 600 US dollars), the international price It is $ 699 (excluding tariffs); the domestic price of the 32GB storage version is 4,999 yuan; the international price is $ 799. "

Hearing such a quotation is much cheaper in the Mainland, domestic consumers feel more comfortable. As always, the price in the Mainland is six or seven hundred dollars less than that in foreign countries. At present, there is really no other branch in this one.

But then again, the Azure series of mobile phones is indeed not cheap as a consumer electronics product, but then again, its innovative technology, industrial design and other aspects are impeccable and worth the price.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Azure phones are now selling for two or three thousand yuan, other mobile phone brand manufacturers that have just established can directly declare bankruptcy.

Because there is no way to compete.

Luo Sheng will not do this. The positioning of Azure series mobile phones is very clear. The high-end brands of consumer electronics products in the consumer market, and the market needs other manufacturers to make low-end machines to set off, this is a perfect closed-loop structure.

At the same time, he has to give his manufacturers a bite to avoid being caught in a monopoly case.

After the offer, Luo Sheng once again announced a news that excites domestic smartphone users.

"As for the release date, we have decided to release the domestic market first. It will be officially launched nationwide on October 5th after National Day, and the major markets of international channels will be released simultaneously on December 24th."

As soon as this remark appeared, the mainland audience shouted with enthusiasm and excitement, and the applause continued.

An audience member at the scene said excitedly, "Did you say that you can buy this product with a full range of beauty and performance in another week?"

"Yes!"

"Cool!"

After listening to the translation, all the foreign users at the scene were unwilling to do so. Previously, they were all released simultaneously. Why did China have to go two months in advance this time?

Netizens eating melons from overseas watched the live video and started talking on the Reddit forum.

"It's so unfair, it's more expensive than us to delay the sale by almost three months."

"No way, this is a product from Huaguo."

"RIM has a snack."

"God, it's really expensive, plus a retail price of more than $ 900."

"But Azure-3 is really perfect. In any respect, OK, I think it has replaced the second-generation Azure as the sexiest phone in my mind."

"I think I should unplug the network cable in the next three months. Do n’t go to BlueSpace, Reddit, or open the BV video website, because I do n’t want to see the show and can only be envious.”

"Haha, believe me, you will reinstall it."

...

Compared with the heated discussions of netizens around the world, industry insiders, especially some keen bosses, seem to have glimpsed some of Luo Sheng's strategic intentions from the determination of the launch date of the French Riviera.

It must be known that whether it is Bluestar Technology or the Blue Coast, it has always paid great attention to the development of international markets.

The launch of the new product launch on the French Riviera was the first to be released in the Mainland, which is indirectly an indication that the focus of business has shifted to the domestic market. At least paying more attention to the mainland market is certain.

After this briefing, some industry leaders have published articles to analyze and express their views. Of course, some people have published articles saying that the expansion of the overseas business of the French Riviera is blocked.

Many comments in the industry seem to be reliable, and some are pure nonsense.

With the end of the press conference, the major media quickly spread the latest news, and the media in the technology industry raced to report that the French Riviera duly occupied the current news hot spots in late September.

Especially in the consumer market.

Now is the era of more and more developed network information. The news can spread throughout the world in just a few minutes. After the press conference, various interpretation articles have come out.

Whether it's cloud search, white search, or Google search index, the keyword popularity of "Azure-3" all tops the list.

Some technology bloggers on the Internet have also followed up. After all, this is the current traffic hotspot, which happens to be related to them. Fans are asking for UP main evaluation. There is no reason why this wave of traffic is not bad.

On the day when the press conference ended, domestic offline retail stores were convenient for the queue to wait for purchases that day.

It's true that every offline retail store rushes to buy in advance. You have to wait for another week before the new products are released.

...

Cote d'Azur, Yao Jianhong's office.

"General Manager Yao, the current 27 offline flagship stores in the Mainland are enthusiastically waiting for purchases. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 20,000 people waiting in line to wait for purchases. high."

After hearing the assistant ’s report, Yao Jianhong nodded, and suddenly could n’t help but said with emotion: “General Manager Luo ’s strategic foresight is really invincible ...”

Just before this year, the French Riviera had less than 10 offline flagship stores in the mainland.

In 2009, under the decision of Luo Sheng, more than 20 stores were opened in one breath. The average investment cost of a store was 35 million yuan, and the total expenditure exceeded 700 million yuan.

As early as the beginning of the year, Yao Jianhong also felt that Luo Sheng's decision was not too overestimated in the mainland market, because sales before 2008 were there, and the impact of the financial crisis was global.

However, Luo Sheng tried his best to do the same.

Then everyone in the world did not expect that since the global financial crisis, China was actually the first country to achieve economic recovery and take off directly. Consumption in the mainland market suddenly poured out like a dam that opened the gate.

In this era, every household really had more or less deposits. For this reason, it was once pointed out by European and American countries that Chinese people would not upgrade their consumption.

In fact, which one is related to what consumption upgrade?

The biggest reason is that the country's infrastructure has not kept up, but after almost ten years in the new century, the mainland's infrastructure has kept up, and consumption is bound to keep up.

Let's just say that the home appliances go to the countryside. Even the road has not been repaired so that people can buy a car? What kind of computer did the Internet not let people buy? When furnishing?

But today is different.

The rapid development in recent years ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The crazy construction of infrastructure, the mileage of railways, highways and other transportation networks continue to break records, all kinds of infrastructure are available, all villages have cement roads, and all villages have Power on, network access, and more.

Ordinary people can use whatever they buy, and consumption naturally goes up.

Although the 3G network has only been rolled out since last year, it only took less than two years. The three major operators have basically covered large, medium and small cities, and they are further expanding into remote and underdeveloped areas.

This is the speed of China.

"Xiao Li, you can arrange it, and go to Pengcheng tomorrow to see the situation of the foundry." Yao Jianhong commanded that the king of Biyadi always patted him on the chest and promised that he could meet 70 to 80 million in the next year. Of mobile phones.

However, Yao Jianhong is still not assured, especially whether the yield problem will be affected by the expansion of production capacity.

If there is a large-scale global recall caused by shipments with hidden dangers, then it will be dead. It is impossible to explain to the top boss Luo Sheng.
