Chapter 346
On Amazon's e-commerce platform, some American users are trying to buy HXV-1 smart projection mobile phone through the online platform, but the computer interface displays: "Sorry, the item you ordered is temporarily out of stock, do you want to keep the webpage and wait for the notification?"
"Out of stock? I'll be out of stock a day later!" In front of the computer, a user complained and clicked on the customer service interface.
"When will this HXV-1 be available?" he asked.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is our hot-selling product. We will replenish the library as soon as possible, please be patient!" The customer service routine replied, this is not the first customer to ask this question.
"I'm asking when will it be in stock? The specific time, do you understand?"
"Please be patient, we will replenish the library within two weeks!" the customer service replied.
"Two weeks? Hell!"
"If you need this product, you can pay the subscription fee, and you can have the priority to purchase the next batch of HXV-1 smart projection phones!" The customer service suggested.
Similar scenes occurred on various sales platforms in the United States. Soon, users in the United States found that not only online stores, but also operators' stores, the volume of goods was poor.
Some operators even took advantage of this opportunity to deliberately lower supply as a marketing tool.
Many American users began to complain: "Why is the supply so low?"
"I heard that Hongxin is the priority to supply the Huaxia market, this is not fair!"
"Are they starving marketing? If so, I wouldn't buy a red letter mobile phone - from the HXV-1 smart projection mobile phone client."
"The HXV-1 smart projection phone from unofficial channels on the Internet is one or two hundred dollars more expensive than the normal price!"
"I want to complain, our store here has to buy value-added services to get HXV-1!"
...
It was the first time that Hongxin was released in the United States, but there was a shortage of supply, which was unprecedented for any Huaxia brand!
Of course, there have also been some loopholes in sales management, which has caused Red Letter to be adjusted all the time.
Hong Kong Island is one of the gateways to China.
In front of a mobile phone brand sales store, before dawn, there was already a long queue.
On the side, there are people holding a sign to recruit people: "Recruiting people to line up to buy mobile phones, there are wages!"
If it was before, the people of Hong Kong Island are used to it. When Apple mobile phones were released before, because of the difference in the release time between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, a large number of purchasing agents and scalpers would queue up to buy mobile phones here, and then bring them back to the mainland to buy high prices.
But today, what they are lining up to buy is not an Apple phone, and they are not going to buy it back to the mainland, but to buy it back to the United States!
Americans went to Hong Kong Island to buy a red letter mobile phone and bought it back! This is the first time Hong Kong Islanders have seen such a scene! It even attracted a lot of media and even reported on this event!
Voice of Hong Kong Island: "Surprised! A large number of Americans are buying Hongxin mobile phones in Hong Kong and want to sell them back to China at a high price!"
Hong Kong Island News: "Today, Customs detected an American gang suspected of smuggling red letter mobile phones. It is reported that all the smuggled mobile phones have been seized."
These news were also reported in China, and netizens laughed out loud.
"I'm so happy! The Americans came to smuggle our phones!"
"There are really people who buy red letter mobile phones! My uncle abroad asked me to play with the mobile phone to give him a smart projection product with red letter, saying that they would sell a few hundred dollars more and some people are rushing to ask for it!"
"Red letter is the best! The domestic priority supply is well done!"
"Hello everyone, I want to purchase a Hongxin mobile phone to the United States. I currently lack 300,000 funds. Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating!"
"After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today. Isn't it cool to not be able to buy anything?"
"It turns out that as long as there is money to be made, everyone does the same thing!"
...
In the past few weeks, the sales situation of Hongxin products in the US market has gradually become clear.
"In this month's new phone sales, our mobile phone sales in the US market have surpassed LG's curved foldable phones and Samsung, and the new phone sales ranked second! Second only to Apple phones!" Su Zhirong smiled. This kind of report card fills her with a sense of satisfaction and achievement.
"According to the current growth trend, it is only a matter of time before we have enough stock to sell more than Apple phones! The sales of smart projection glasses and smart projection watches have also exceeded the expected pass line, and the momentum is very strong!"
"The market gap has been opened." Lu Zixin lay comfortably on the office chair and said with his eyes closed, "They are trying to close it, it's too late!"
"However, the U.S. side has recently prepared to give us a problem, asking us to build a factory in the U.S.," Su Zhirong said.
Watching Hongxin make money in the U.S. market, the U.S. can’t help but use various policies to ask Hongxin to build a factory in the United States.
The cost of building a factory in the United States is much higher than in China or India, but this is unavoidable. If you want to make money in the United States without investing, American users will definitely reject red letters, which is also a kind of invisible investment.
"Building is to be built, but it cannot be agreed so easily, and more favorable conditions are required."
"The FCC requires that according to the antitrust law, we must sell our virtual projection accessories to our partners as soon as possible, otherwise our sales will be restricted." Su Zhirong passed a lot of documents to Lu Zixin.
Lu Zixin swept away and said, "It's okay to sell, but intellectual property must be protected. This is a weapon for us to make money in the future!"
No matter which country, only the Hongxin family will be allowed to sell virtual projection mobile phones, which is a violation of anti-monopoly laws. However, Hongxin can use the same way as selling chips to sell virtual projection smart product accessories, collect intellectual property fees, and also get high profits.
...
"Let me be quiet." At Apple's spaceship headquarters, Ku Ke motioned for the assistant to go out.
He lowered his forehead and supported it with his hands, his emaciated body even more exhausted.
Just now, the top management held a meeting on the latest sales data, and the investors kept asking questions, which gave him a headache.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strong rise of Red Letter products in the United States is no longer a threat to Apple's position, but is occupying the first place in the Apple market!
After a long while, Ku Ke made a phone call and said, "Immediately prepare a red letter to talk about virtual projection accessories."
After the call, he sighed deeply. This decision will mean that the once strong Apple will also be subject to red letters.
Even if the cooperation is completed, it is a helpless choice for them. In the future, every time they sell an iPhone with a virtual projection, they will give part of the profit to Hongxin Group. It's as if they used to use core technology to charge Huaxia enterprises high fees, now the role has been reversed, and it will be their turn to be sheared.
