Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones - Chapter 172 Dalang 1050/X16 Plus
Chapter 172 Dalang1050X16 Plus
March into…
Electric vehicle field!
“Electric vehicle field?”
As soon as the news came out, not only those who paid attention to Nebula Technology were confused, but also the major national standard manufacturers. Nebula Technology’s crossover seems a bit fierce?
First, it entered the PC field and gave major computer manufacturers a blow. Forget it, because mobile phones and laptops are electronic products.
But what about electric cars?
If you think about it carefully, Nebula Technology is currently involved in many fields. The new lithium battery that was just hyped some time ago is produced by Nebula Technology and has increased capacity at the same volume.
On this basis, it would be strange for Nebula Technology not to enter the new energy field. Not only must it enter the new energy field, but it must also launch some highly competitive products to capture part of the market first.
The first one to feel the pressure is LeTV. LeTV has paid an unknown amount of money to prepare new energy vehicles. The reputation of FF91 is now very high. Another manufacturer wants to come in to steal the meal?
Moreover, Nebula Technology has stronger capital, technology, and user base. Let alone Nebula Technology, it is an electric vehicle, not an electric vehicle. Everyone knows it clearly.
If Nebula Technology dares to make electric cars, it will make electric cars. It may even make other things, such as electric scooters, balance cars, and even electric wheelchairs and electric Heelys shoes~
Forget about Heelys shoes, they are a bit ugly…
And it’s not safe.
But you can consider something else…
As far as Liu Dalang knows, FF91 will be on display at CES next year. It attracted widespread attention as soon as it was unveiled. Then came the well-known plot. The mass production time was delayed again and again, and finally…
The dream of “global surface acceleration king” was finally shattered. Later, new energy vehicle manufacturers emerged one after another, and even a rising star like Gaohe created a Gaohe HiPhix.
It can hit 100 mph in 3.9 seconds, and the price starts at 570,000. Let’s not mention the sales volume for the moment. The most important thing is that it can be built and sold to consumers.
“Can Nebula Technology be successful?”
“Oh no, it turns out to be an electric car!”
“This electric car is not that electric car. It should be called a small electric donkey, but why?”
“I really can’t imagine what it would be like to have a small electric donkey in Nebula Mall…”
“But judging from Nebula Technology’s past products, we can still look forward to it~”
“Isn’t it a bit inconsistent?”
“See the follow-up for details!”
“…”
Netizens were a little confused about Nebula Technology’s plan to build an electric car, and even couldn’t accept it for a while. Then after going through the pictures a few times in their minds, they found that it seemed okay?
After hearing the news, some well-known electric vehicle brands expressed their indifference. They did not think that an electric vehicle made by a mobile phone manufacturer could beat their new products.
Neither can Nebula Technology!
This is not something that can be achieved with technology alone, but electric vehicles and smartphones are completely different things. Nebula Technology’s most powerful channels are starting from scratch in the field of electric vehicles.
In fact, Liu Dalang has never been very enthusiastic about electric vehicles, but it is an indispensable part to build the Nebula ecological chain.
Moreover, Nebula Technology has completely different development strategies for smartphones and new energy products. In the field of smartphones, mobile phones with a price range of more than 5,000 can be regarded as high-end products.
Of course, whether a mobile phone is high-end or not is another matter. At least in terms of price, it is quite high-end. For mobile phones exceeding 10,000 yuan, only Nebula Technology is very competitive.
Apple is not good at this price range, because they have not yet released a $10,000 phone. After being blocked by Nebula Technology, it may be a little difficult to raise the price range of products again in a short period of time.
And even if Apple launches the Apple X, which is more powerful than the original version, Nebula Technology is not worried at all. With high refresh rate and unique fast charging that are suitable for all Nebulas applications, what are they chasing?
“Apple’s development is too slow!”
This is the view of a considerable number of current Apple users. They all hope that Apple can bring an epoch-making product just like it did nine years ago.
It’s a pity that they don’t know that it’s not that Apple’s development is too slow, but that Nebula Technology is developing too fast. It’s incredibly fast.
Some people with ulterior motives against Nebula Technology even declare: “Nebula Technology is squeezing the potential of the future electronic product market!”
Assuming that a product can be used for three or five years without lag and still as smooth as new, will consumers still change their mobile phones? Will you still spend money?
In fact, there are many points to stimulate consumer demand. People will always like the new and dislike the old, and people’s desires will always become bigger and bigger. As long as this is properly utilized, squeezing the potential is simply nonsense.
As soon as these remarks came out, ordinary consumers immediately attacked them. What do they mean? Aren’t these manufacturers happy because they can’t cut leeks together?
As a result, it directly boosted the sales of Nebula products, causing a surge in sales of Xingchen flagship and third-generation Xingyu products. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss. It is really unnecessary when you think about it.
Before buying electronic products, people will always use various reasons to convince themselves that buying an expensive one can be used for several years at a time!
In fact, they know exactly what the situation is, and using it for several years is just an excuse. After a few years, they will still ask why their mobile phone has not worn out after using it for several years.
I even wish that one day it would suddenly break down, so that I would have a reason to replace it with a new one openly, or simply replace it without using it.
These are all normal…
In contrast, Liu Dalang responded publicly: “We are not squeezing the electronic product market, but squeezing the potential of commercial companies!”
Some commercial companies have no choice but to squeeze out toothpaste tubes, launch more competitive products, and invest in more technological research and development.
At least for now, Nebula Technology has succeeded, forcing Apple to use its technical reserves to deal with the current predicament.
In terms of new energy products, Nebula Technology will take a more popular path, especially in the automotive field. What can various international brands do to compete with Nebula Technology in front of them?
It is too common for the same product to sell for 200,000 yuan if it is made in China, but 500,000 yuan with a different car label. If Nebula Technology wants to bring out its brand advantages, it has to do something new.
The Silver Wing was a coincidence. Even Liu Dalang didn’t expect Gao Guopeng to send such a thing. In this case, they didn’t have to be polite.
Use it directly. Even the news released by the blogger was arranged by them. If the progress is fast, the first batch of products will be produced in the first half of next year and will be launched in the second half of the year.
In fact, it can be faster, but it is not necessary. Liu Dalang will put Nebula Technology’s first new energy product at next year’s annual launch conference, and then launch the first 5G flagship machine.
“This 5G era will be led by Nebula Technology!” It’s interesting to say that when 5G mobile phones were first released, many people always said that there was no difference between 5G and 4G.
When some products cannot use 5G, they are still asking why there is no 5G. Do you still need to ask why there is no 5G? But this situation will not happen with Nebula Technology. The reason is very simple:
Nebula Communications has not adopted a cooperative 5G research and development model at all, but so far, they have applied for more than 3,000 5G technology patents in order to send a signal to the outside world:
“Nebula Communications is very strong and its patents in 5G technology are no worse than others!”
At the same time, all technologies are not released in order to ensure the advantages of Nebula Technology. Ordinary people do not know this, and major manufacturers are very concerned about Nebula Technology’s next actions.
Huawei, in particular, is currently working with Nebula Technology to create a new generation of 5G integrated chips. Chips alone are definitely not enough. They also need 5G base stations with sufficiently wide coverage and sufficient numbers.
This is the key point, otherwise the so-called 5G chip will be useless at all. Then the question will still be: What is the use of 5G?
The so-called 5G technology is actually not aimed at individuals but at industries and enterprises. However, it will not replace 4G and wifi, but will be integrated with each other and applied to some fields, such as:
Super terminals, smart homes, and virtual reality may sound good, but in fact they are not, because in the original development trajectory, 6G research and development began before smart homes became popular…
Some manufacturers are fighting for the final interpretation of 6G technology, but the steps are too big. Ordinary people don’t even understand what 5G is, let alone virtual reality.
The purpose of Nebula Technology is simple. Not only to popularize smart homes, but also to develop stronger virtual reality equipment through 5G technology.
Since the last technical reserve conference, Nebula Technology has accumulated more and more technical reserves. Many people think that surround screens and folding screens are already the limit. In fact, it is still very early.
The products at Nebula’s annual press conference enabled Liu Dalang to receive an unprecedented amount of income. In just one month, the sales volume of the dual version Beidou-Tianshu in China exceeded 3 million units.
The 10 million sales volume that Liu Dalang could only dream of in the past can now be achieved easily. If this trend continues, the total sales volume of the dual versions of Beidou-Tianshu in China can hit the 20 million unit mark.
There are many domestic manufacturers that have achieved this achievement. For example, the sales volume of oppo r9 has reached more than 20 million units, but it is obvious that Beidou-Tianshu and oppo r9 are not at the same level at all.
The price difference is too big, and the product level is also very different, so the data content of Beidou-Tianshu will be higher and the benefits will be greater.
The sales volume of the 10.6-inch Nandou-Tianfu is even more terrifying. The starting price of 7,999 has directly reached the top sales of tablets on major e-commerce platforms. Even Liu Dalang himself did not expect it to have such high sales.
The same sales volume is more than 3 million units. This is not a computer. Even if the current three companies, Lenovo, Dell, and HP, want to achieve this sales volume for a single product, it is not an easy task.
Of course, if they were to make a 2-in-1 computer like Nandou-Tianfu, and use the same configuration, the price would definitely take off, and the 10.6-inch model would still exceed 10,000 yuan.
Not to mention the 12.6-inch ones, such as Microsoft’s Sureface, not only do the overall configurations not be high, but the price is also far out of reach of the mass market.
Of course, Microsoft’s Sureface is not focused on the Chinese market at all, but Nebula Technology is different. China is their main market.
Rather than looking at these data, Liu Dalang is more curious about the shipment volume of Nebula products in offline channels, especially which product is the most popular offline. This is the key point.
So he took the Nebula team to Yuzhou City, where there is a Nebula Mall covering an area of 568 square meters. If nothing else, it overwhelms Apple in terms of momentum.
Interestingly, there are exactly two of Apple’s official stores in China in Yuzhou City, and one of them is just opposite the Nebula Mall, which vividly embodies the word tit-for-tat.
After receiving the news, the general manager of Nebula Mall wanted to go out to greet him, but was stopped by Liu Dalang. When a group of five people walked into Nebula Mall wearing masks, they did not attract the attention of the customers in the store.
Although it is now two o’clock in the afternoon, and it is not a weekend but a Wednesday, there are still a lot of people in the Nebula Mall. Liu Dalang made a brief observation and visually estimated that there were nearly sixty customers.
If placed in a Nebula directly-operated store, so many people would definitely not be able to fit in. However, if placed in a Nebula mall, after these customers are spread out, it does not seem crowded, but makes the store very lively.
Humans are social animals. If there is not a single customer in Nebula Mall, more than 80% of people will eventually give up even if they want to enter. But if there are many customers, some people will be attracted.
Therefore, some large shopping malls and shopping malls will hire special personnel to create the illusion of excitement. Some general managers of Nebula Mall have mentioned this idea, but Liu Dalang gave up in the end.
Because there is no need, it is what it is. Nebula Mall is not a shopping mall. If there are few customers, Liu Dalang will wonder if there is a problem with Nebula Technology or if there is a problem with the product.
The layout of the Nebula Mall is also very simple. It is divided into four areas, which are divided according to the four series of Spark/Xingyu/Xingchen/Nebula. Before September, there were three areas.
Because the Xingchen products had not yet come out at that time, but now there are not only four areas, but also a Nebula desktop that is exactly the same as the Nebula annual conference, with various products on it.
The largest one is naturally the 2-in-1 computer Nebula-Southern Cross. In the lower right corner is a black and gold Nebula mouse, in the lower left corner is the Nebula palm print touchpad, and in the upper left corner is the Nebula mobile phone.
A vertical Nebula mobile phone is the Nebula-Perseus. The charging method of the surround-screen mobile phone is different from that of ordinary mobile phones. It is charged while standing.
Directly on the left is a relatively small 2-in-1 computer, which is also the best-selling 10.6-inch Nandou-Tianfu computer. However, it does not come with a keyboard and acts more like a monitor.
Directly below, there are two mobile phones, namely the Nebula-Hercules and the standard Beidou-Tianshu. Simply placed here, the overall visual impact is very strong.
Especially when all the products turned on the screen together, a white light and shadow flashed from the Nebula palm touchpad to the Nebula desktop. It would be better to place it in a darker place.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Of course, a considerable number of Nebula products use OLED screens, which poses the risk of screen burn-in. Even Nebula Technology’s top-grade OLED screens are no exception.
Some manufacturers have channels to sell their display opportunities at low prices, but Nebula Technology is different. They will recycle them all, and there is no need to sell some defective products just to make a little money.
Nebula Technology has as many screens as it wants, so does it still need to resort to such tricks? Maybe some problematic products will be taken out by users to target Black Nebula Technology. This is too common.
If it is used normally, let alone screen burn, even if the phone is burned by fire, it can still be repaired within the warranty period. It is that simple.
After a brief demonstration by the store clerk, these Nebula products played the animation in a loop again, making the onlookers shake their heads with regret:
“Really, it’s really not satisfying!”
“If I had another desktop computer, it would be great if I moved the monitor to the middle!”
“It’s best to make the display wirelessly powered, so there is no need for an external power supply!”
“It’s not bad now! You can use the docking station to connect an external monitor to the Southern Cross!”
“It’s a pity that Nebula Technology doesn’t produce high-end monitors. It always feels a bit awkward to use them…”
“Yes, one set is better. Nebula Technology’s monitors will definitely be different!”
“I’m tired of seeing all those bewitching products on the market, I don’t ask for anything else, 4k + 360hz!”
“Anti-blue light, no OLED screen, unless there is global DC dimming…”
Liu Dalang:? ? ?
Good guy, you really dare to make demands! Is it that easy to make a 4k monitor? Even if Nebula Technology has the ability to produce 360hz, your wallet may not be able to support it…
Liu Dalang glanced at the right hand of the middle-aged man who was talking, which was an enamel-colored Nebula-Cepheus. Well, for this big brother, money may not really be a problem.
But why do you still go to Nebula Mall when you are so rich? Could it be that you are here for some leisure and entertainment? But Nebula Technology’s first virtual reality device has not yet been mass-produced and launched!
This is not the point. They stayed in the Nebula Mall for two hours and found that the Nebula clerk sold a total of 57 mobile phones, 49 of which were the lightweight version of Xingyu-Xi, which accounted for a very high proportion.
“Sure enough, the cheaper models are more popular, but looking at it this way, Nebula Technology doesn’t seem to need a model that costs 2,000 to 3,000 yuan…”
Because even if there are no low-priced models, Nebula products still don’t have to worry about being sold. Liu Dalang believes that he has to reconsider his previous strategy and rearrange some products for Smartisan.
As for mobile phones, you can wait a little longer. It will be better to release Nebula products when they are in a transition period and the market is tired.
The 43 computers sold were also dominated by Xingyu-Phantom, with a total of 29 units, followed by Nandou-Tianfu, with a total of 8 units, but surprisingly, the 12.6-inch version accounted for 6 units.
By the way, they also sold a wave of accessories. Compared with mobile phones, computers and other products, a considerable number of people come to Nebula Mall just to buy accessories.
Protective films, protective cases, even Bluetooth headsets, smart bracelets, watches, etc. Even if you buy a tempered film, the store clerk will pack it in a bag with the Nebula logo and deliver it with both hands.
When Liu Dalang watched TV before, he always wondered why ordinary waiters in some luxury stores would look down on the customers who entered the store, and would maliciously humiliate them. In the end, they were taught a lesson by the protagonist.
Looking at the clerks in Nebula Mall, no matter who the customer is, even if they come in wearing slippers and dragging a sack, they don’t care at all, and they don’t treat them differently because of their appearance.
“Look, this is called professional!”
Store clerks also need professionalism. Obviously, waiters who maliciously humiliate people are not very common in reality. Even if they are, they rarely appear in a big-name flagship store.
Especially at a level like Nebula Mall, where the store clerks are all experienced, some people who obviously lack basic professional skills will not be hired even if they go to the flagship stores of other brands.
In contrast, the Apple official store opposite is no longer as lively as it used to be. There are still a lot of people there, but it is much worse than before. In the past, the Apple official store was full every day.
Although Nebula Mall is still not full every day, it has succeeded in pulling Apple into the water, and the reason why Nebula Mall is not full is that they have many other offline channels.
There are currently more than 3,000 Direct Nebula stores across the country. Together with Nebula counters and after-sales service centers, the total number can exceed 10,000, far ahead of Apple.
Perhaps the daily shipment volume of one store is not high, but with so many stores across the country, the combined daily shipment volume will reach a terrifying level.
The specific shipment volume will become higher after Nebula Technology’s reputation is established. Although there are people on the Internet criticizing the high-priced and low-configuration models every day, offline channels are currently the main shipping channel.
Even five years from now, shipments through offline channels will still account for more than 70% of the entire mobile phone market, with online channels accounting for the rest.
At the same time, the Nebula Technology Headquarters and Nebula Marketing Department are already preparing to warm up the fourth generation of Spark products, along with several Dalang Technology products specially designed for low-price users.
The old routine is a three-step process. First, digital news bloggers will break the news, then Nebula Technology will officially confirm it, and finally publish the renderings.
Different from the products at Nebula’s annual press conference, Spark products have always been the series with the most news. Especially after the golden e-sports week, some people got Spark products in advance.
Among them, the configuration of Spark-Phantom Flame fluctuates greatly. In order to meet the needs of more price ranges, such as screens, Nebula Technology will also launch a version without 2K, but with 144hz high refresh rate.
GTX1060 has a high refresh rate of 2K + 144hz… isn’t that a joke? Not to mention 1060, even 3060 would probably be too much.
Because the current mainstream CPUs are far from as powerful as they will be in five years. Of course, the mainstream games on the market are not as powerful as they will be later.
Of course, the advantages brought by high-quality screens are not only bonuses in games. In daily use, the advantages of 2k screens are also very great, and game notebooks are not necessarily used for playing games.
The most common type of people in reality is: before they had a game laptop, they would carefully plan the games they wanted to play, but after they got a game laptop, they spent most of their time doing other things…
The mainstream Core i7+GTX1060, this combination is the regular combination for gaming notebooks this year, and Nebula Technology is moving even faster. This graphics card has received a lot of sales just after it was released.
Of course, when these graphics cards were brought back, in addition to being installed in the Spark-Fantasy game notebook for debugging, some of them were also given to the Ru0026D department for complete disassembly and preparation for replication.
To give full play to the copycat capabilities once possessed by Dalang Technology, ordinary manufacturers will naturally not be able to copy copy graphics cards, but Nebula Technology is different. They have a lot of equipment.
Also, how can something technically be called a copycat? This is called learning! Let’s learn from the design ideas of our friends and apply the good ones to Nebula Technology’s first test graphics card.
But things like graphics cards, after all, are not owned by Nebula Technology. It all depends on the face of the graphics card manufacturer. From the end of the Golden E-sports Week to now, only 200,000 units have been prepared.
Intel’s CPUs are in sufficient supply, but they are useless. Now the Nebula marketing department is also in a dilemma. They don’t know whether they should pre-heat the Spark-Fantasy, a very user-friendly gaming laptop.
“It’s okay, don’t worry!”
Liu Dalang was not worried about this, and directly asked the Nebula Marketing Department to start preheating with confidence. As for the lack of inventory in the future… this is not a problem, they will find a way to get the graphics card.
More importantly, Nebulas Technology is also preparing to launch an ultra-low-priced entry-level gaming laptop, 80% of the accessories in it are produced by Nebula Technology itself, including their first graphics card.
From a theoretical performance point of view, Nebula Technology’s first graphics card is equivalent to the GTX1050, and this entry-level graphics card has just been launched and will soon become the first choice for building entry-level gaming notebooks.
At this time, Nebula Technology has launched an entry-level graphics card that can compete with the GTX1050. It is obvious that it wants to compete with Nvidia, but it is very difficult to compete with Nvidia.
The problem now is that this entry-level graphics card is obviously not worthy of Nebula Technology’s product positioning, so it is likely to be named after Dalang, and the entry-level gaming notebook is also likely to be called…
Dalang 1050!
Dalang X2016 Plus!
Thank you book friends for your suggestions! Received and in the process of resetting the outline ~ I will update it today, and there will be more and earlier follow-ups. Thank you for your support! ! !
