Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones - Chapter 194 Even pigs can take off when the wind blows

This is the first time that Apple has changed its product strategy due to external factors. Not only has it created multiple versions of Apple X, but it has also released Apple 8/8 Plus in the first half of the year.

It was simply impossible in the past, Apple! This is an apple! When will he lower his status and use Android’s machine-sea tactics? For a time, users all over the world were shocked!

Especially users who bought Apple 7/7 Plus under pressure last year directly felt the backache. Do you want to play like this? But I have to say that Apple’s move is a bit cruel.

Special treatment is given to special situations, and they bear a lot of pressure for this. In other years, if Apple also started to update two generations a year, it would be a dimensionality reduction blow to Android manufacturers.

But now, it is an excellent opportunity for Nebula Technology, and it is an excellent opportunity for Android manufacturers, because it means that everyone is on the same starting line.

While Android manufacturers were excited, they also raised a question: “Isn’t Apple afraid of affecting its own brand power by doing this? Or is it just to compete head-on with Nebula products?”

“No! Apple can definitely use the tenth anniversary as a reason to declare that this year is a special year. The two generations of flagships are to give back to fans and set a low price…”

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Apple sent out several breaking news in succession. Compared with the previous generation, Apple 8/8 Plus will have a comprehensive upgrade, and it will be the last generation of small screen flagship.

The so-called small-screen flagship refers to the last generation of small-screen flagships with a home button. Although this design is no longer used by Android manufacturers in the full-screen era, its value cannot be denied.

This is an era-defining design that has a large number of loyal fans. Even now, some Apple fans criticize Nebula products in the Nebula community, saying that they are not as easy to use as the Home button.

Of course, such remarks actually have no offensive power. Not to mention the trolls of Nebulas Marketing Department, even Nebulas users can’t scold them, and they often get backlash from Nebulas users.

So the Internet is quite interesting. When people speak freely, they always forget their original intentions. The competition over who has the more powerful Xingguo product has been ongoing since last year.

As for the so-called backstab… Android manufacturers think this is not a problem. Come on, this is the last generation of Apple flagship with a home button! This is Apple 8 with increased volume but no increased price!

The most important thing is that Apple has officially released the latest trade-in guidelines, and the compensation given is quite high. After all, even iPhone 4 users can trade in new ones through the event.

The trade-in price of some models is almost the same as buying a Dalang 10 Plus. Such a low price, coupled with all-round upgrades in configuration, can further stimulate consumption.

To stimulate Apple users to upgrade, it doesn’t matter even if they later switch to Nebula products, because a considerable number of them have used old Apple mobile phones. In this case…

Instead of letting it sit in a drawer and exchange it for scissors and kitchen knives, it is better to take it out and exchange it for a new model of mobile phone through the trade-in activity. After all, Apple is quite durable ~ If you don’t upgrade the system…

“It’s so shady!”

Some employees in the Nebula Marketing Department were a little agitated after seeing the news, and then the team leader raised his hand and said: “There is nothing shady, business competition is all about open and covert fighting.

But that’s what makes it interesting! It’s not like you haven’t seen the new Xingyu before. Do you think our product will lose to Apple 8/8 Plus, which is still selling feelings and marketing? “

To be fair, Nebula products are not afraid to compare with products of any brand in terms of hardware configuration, product quality, system fluency, and even after-sales service. This is also an important plus point.

Then, just as some Android manufacturers expected, Apple released news, saying that the Apple 8/8 Plus and Apple X series were specially launched models to commemorate Apple’s tenth anniversary.

Anyway, it is impossible to change the policy because of Nebula Technology! Maybe they know that their products may not be able to beat the rising star Nebula Technology, but they absolutely cannot lose in terms of momentum!

The duck is fully cooked in the pot! The only thing left is to be tough with your mouth ~ that’s what I’m talking about. It doesn’t matter whether I can beat him or not, but he must blow his words verbally. So, the blow came again!

And the counterattack force is very fierce. It feels like Nebula Technology is in decline and about to collapse, and Apple is back as the king. In fact, who can say for sure?

Liu Dalang has never seen a real Apple 8/8 Plus machine, and he knows nothing about the configuration. Apple has leaked much less about these products this year than in previous years, and of course it rarely leaked in previous years.

This is not the point. The point is that Apple has well grasped the mentality of a large number of consumers, especially Chinese consumers. That is, Apple, which was ridiculously expensive in the past, is now cost-effective!

As a result, the prices of old Apple mobile phones in the secondary market have been rising all the time, because people have discovered that as long as they have an original and genuine Apple mobile phone, they can get a lot of discounts when new products are released.

As a result, many small copycat workshops that were still struggling were given opportunities. Old Apple phones began to be wildly hyped in various channels. Counterfeit products were rampant and it was unclear whether they were good or bad.

It is estimated that Cook did not expect this situation to occur in the Chinese market. They are more concerned about the situation in the international market. Under the impact of dimensionality reduction of Nebula products, they lost a lot of markets.

Let’s not mention those underdeveloped regions, because Apple shipments in those places are not high. What is important is Europe, Australia, the Middle East and other regions that have always been the main shipping destinations for Apple.

In these regions, Apple’s market share has shrunk beyond what they can afford. Although Nebula products are generally priced higher than Apple’s, there are still a large number of users buying them.

On the one hand, the configuration is stronger and more balanced. The most important thing is that the construction of the Nebula ecological chain is already a step ahead of Apple. Various portable operations are readily available, not to mention the computer market.

Unless you are some professionals who must use Apple computers to improve their work efficiency, a considerable number of the remaining people will choose Nebula computers with lower prices. Yes, the prices are lower!

The price of Nebula mobile phones is generally higher than that of Apple mobile phones in developed regions, but the price of Nebula computers is quite cost-effective. This is based on comparison, not just the local selling price.

Therefore, in these areas, the sales volume of Nebula computers far exceeds that of Nebula mobile phones. From last year to this year, the most popular models are still the Xingyu-Phantom and the two-in-one computer Nandou-Tianfu. There is no surprise.

The most important thing is that because Apple does not dissipate heat, some models using Intel CPUs often experience endless restarts due to severe heat, which seriously affects the user experience.

Combined, it is not surprising that Nebula computers cannot be sold. In addition, the expansion of Nebula stores and after-sales service centers is rapid and regardless of cost, the product distribution speed is getting faster and faster.

Shipments are also getting higher and higher. Even in some areas of Europe and the United States, Star Express couriers can be seen wearing black uniforms and with the Nebula two-color logo on their chests. They have considerable influence.

For Cook, they do not expect Apple computers to shake the Windows computer market. They only need to ensure its unique market competitiveness, but Apple mobile phones cannot do that!

Unfortunately, due to the imperfect basic communication facilities in some areas, even if Apple releases Apple 8/8 Plus in advance, the effect will be limited. This is an objective factor.

However, around the world, the influence of companies such as Apple and Samsung cannot be underestimated. Samsung is still working hard to review its market performance, Apple has already launched a big move, and there is no news about Nebula Technology…

The most popular products in the past two days are still the three Nebula monitors. Unfortunately, monitors are not as convenient to transport as mobile phones and notebooks due to their relatively large size.

Therefore, the role of Star Express has been reflected. Not only abroad, but also in China, some Star Express couriers have appeared in cities wearing black uniforms and are also equipped with special trams.

Using the outlets of Nebula Technology, fast shipments can be achieved. The courier himself also needs a certain level of technical skills, because for some orders, consumers will choose the service of door-to-door installation of products.

Most people still don’t need it. It’s just a monitor. Anyone with a little knowledge of computers can use it casually. However, there are not many Star Express couriers at present, and its influence is not great.

It’s not that the execution speed of Nebula Technology is slow, but that the hardware has not caught up yet. The benefits of Star Express couriers are very high. Not only are they equipped with a dedicated tram, but they are also equipped with a work machine.

This work machine is different from some code scanners that use Android systems. It is a product equipped with Nebula OS and has a built-in ESIM card. Needless to say, it is smooth.

The disadvantage is that it can only make calls and use some fixed express software. Other… the battery is 8000 mAh, the fast charge uses 50W Nebula Flash Charge 2.0, and the screen display effect is also good.

After all, many couriers work in high temperature and bright light, and poor screen brightness will also affect work efficiency. As for the tram… it was naturally provided by the cooperative manufacturer~

BYD’s Gao Guopeng was very concerned about this. As soon as he heard Liu Dalang’s request, he immediately worked overtime to build 50 special express vehicles according to the drawings provided by Nebula Technology, which was extremely efficient.

This is also related to the fact that the design department uses BYD’s existing molds when designing products. It only needs to be produced and assembled, and there is no need to open a new set of molds.

After getting the finished product, it was tested by a professional organization and certified. It only took a week in total. In the past, it would have been impossible to do so within a month, but now it is really a green light.

Because the new energy industry is a hot topic, its popularity has been soaring since last year. Until this year, various manufacturers are making big moves, and BYD is even preparing to give up its production capacity of fuel vehicles.

In the words of some people, any pig can take off on the wind. At the same time, there has been a century-old scam going on on the other side of the ocean, and many people are not aware of it.

Even Liu Dalang almost couldn’t restrain himself and wanted to lead Nebula Technology to enter the new energy industry in a big way, but in the end he held back because it would be safer for them to provide technology and key products.

It is not too late to launch new energy products at important time points. What they want is innovation, not competition for market share with existing manufacturers. There is no need to fight back and forth.

However, we have to admit that from last year to three years later, this period was a time when the new energy industry broke out collectively, which is why the scam of the century was successful.

Putting these aside, the overall shape of the Star Express truck can only be described in two words: stunning! Not only is it larger than the cars of other express delivery companies and can be loaded more easily, but it also has a more handsome appearance!

There are two huge Nebula two-color logos on both sides of the silver-white body. There is no need to worry about the battery life of the express vehicle using A-class lithium batteries. In the summer, the pure electric battery life can reach more than 200km.

In winter, it will be reduced to about 60%, which is enough for a day’s work. There is a charging pile specially set up at the Star Express substation next to the Nebula branch, and it will be resurrected with full health the next day.

However, Star Express is currently only available in Yuzhou City. It is not easy to promote it to all parts of the country. It requires a complete management system and extremely high costs.

Generally speaking, this is an industry where investment exceeds return. At least for five years, Star Express will not bring any substantial income to Nebula Technology, and will also increase a lot of expenses.

But it cannot just be limited to immediate benefits. Star Express can further enhance the influence of Nebula Technology, and it may also be used for a more important purpose in the future…

Some Nebula users in Yuzhou City noticed this when placing orders. After Zhao Xiaohua placed an order for a Nebula monitor at Nebula Mall, he discovered that there were some changes on the checkout page.

“Optional courier company?”

“Star Express?”

“What is this?”

“No matter, let’s try it first!”

The speed of SF Express in the past few years has been good, but I won’t mention it later… The name Star Express sounds like the official express delivery of Nebula Technology, so it’s not impossible to choose one and give it a try.

It is normal to place an order at ten o’clock in the evening. This time is the peak ordering period, because people are more emotional at night, and it is easy to make impulse purchases during their rare free time.

Unexpectedly, Star Express delivered it early the next morning. The Star Express courier went to work at 8 o’clock. Zhao Xiaohua received the express call at 8:30, and the courier boy delivered it to his door.

Since there is no paid installation service, the courier guy simply delivers the product for unpacking and inspection and then leaves. In theory, this step of unboxing and inspection is to prevent problems with the product.

In fact, Nebula Technology’s yield rate is ridiculously high and there are almost no defective products, so this link has become a formality. Users can refuse to unbox and inspect the machine, and it doesn’t matter.

As for some bad customers who may appear, calling good things bad…that’s okay, it’s all within the tolerance of Nebula Technology. After all, they can’t ask every user to be what they want.

It doesn’t matter whether the machine is being inspected. What shocked Zhao Xiaohua was the speed of Star Express. He placed the order at 10 o’clock last night and it was delivered at around 8 o’clock this morning, even faster than Goudong’s own operation!
