Chapter 121 The Boy Who Slays Dragons Finally Becomes a Dragon?

Apple executives were surprised to find that the top-end version of Ai Feng, which had been relatively popular in the Chinese market in the past, had less than 100,000 pre-orders this time.

Compared with the Apple 6 Plus, the sales of the 6s Plus can be described as bleak. Even some individual dealers are unwilling to ask Apple to ship products.

Why? They also understand that the price of Apple 6s Plus is the same as that of Nebula-Andromeda, but the difference in RAM is four times.

In fact, Nebula OS can also do 2GB RAM. This is how they want to compete with Apple. What’s the point of having 2GB RAM?

I heard that Apple A9 is very powerful? Nebula-Andromeda's Chang Gung 4 is indeed not comparable, but at least it is deeply optimized, and with 8GB of RAM...

Originally, using Nebulas apps on Nebulas OS can match the smoothness of IOS by 50%, but now it is coupled with large RAM and 120hz high refresh rate.

The advantages of Apple's IOS are gone. Of course, there are not many users in China who rely on IOS, because Apple's ecological chain will be more complete.

Nebula Technology has forced its way into the high-end mobile phone market through alternative methods, but in terms of ecological construction, they are still at a backward stage.

However, Nebulas Technology has its own experience in building the Nebulas ecological chain, and they are already working on building the top products of the Nebulas ecological chain.

Prior to this, Xingyu and Xinghuo series products will be given priority. For example, the Xingyu thin and light notebook has entered the trial production stage.

Another example is the Spark gaming bracelet, next year’s Spark gaming laptop, and the Spark gaming handheld console. The Spark tablet can be used for the production of matryoshka dolls.

I took the mold of the Xingyu Tablet and made a simple modification. The main selling point is its technologically rich design and gaming performance.

Originally, Liu Dalang planned to cut off the Xinghuo Tablet, because the Xingyu Tablet is very versatile and can be used as a gaming tablet.

So he would consider launching another highly homogenized product. Is that going too far? But if you think about it carefully, it's actually not the case.

The Xingyu and Xinghuo series can launch up to three tablet models, plus a flagship tablet, four tablet products are just right.

Moreover, the extreme performance of Xingyu Tablet is definitely not enough, so releasing a dedicated gaming tablet will not affect each other.

Of course, gaming phones and gaming tablets are niche markets after all, while gaming notebooks are the big market and can compete with several major PC manufacturers.

Stupid people wear too much money, they have iron-clad bear paws, they are as treacherous as a rock, their heat dissipation shrinks, their shipwrecks are insured for half a year, they buy a light and get a computer, the Hokage of Konohagakure...

What will be the result if Nebula Technology enters the gaming notebook market? But you have to do this slowly, let’s start with Xingyu’s thin and light notebook!

Before that, we need to take care of the things at hand first, one by one. Apple's senior management does not understand the decline in Apple 6s Plus and iPad Pro pre-orders. In fact, this is an inevitable result.

Even without Nebula-Andromeda, the sales of iPad Pro would not be good, because there is Nebula-Qingling which is cheaper and has a very good experience.

Compared with iPad mini, Xingyu-Qingling is more expensive, but compared with iPad Pro, Xingyu-Qingling has its advantages and is more portable.

Unless you are interested in the iPad Pro's large screen and IOS-specific applications, it has no advantages at all. The data version of the tablet does not yet have a phone function.

The advantages and disadvantages are obvious, but one thing is that for ordinary people, the price of iPad Pro is a bit high. How can a high-refresh screen be so valuable?

Look at Nebula Technology's high refresh rate and Nebula Flash Charging, which has more advantages in battery life. Is it necessary to say how to choose?

Apple executives looked at the sharp decline in pre-orders for the Apple 6s Plus and iPad Pro in the Chinese market and were speechless for a long time. Finally, Cook stood up and said:

"The war has begun. Although we don't want to admit it, Apple has encountered a tough opponent that it has never encountered before!

I hope that in the coming time, we can make every product, every service, and every marketing effort the best! "

Obviously, Cook is not a pedantic person. He sees that Nebula Technology, which has exclusive technology, is impacting a broader market.

At the same time, there was a call on the Internet that the 8+128GB Nebula-Andromeda was too big and a low-configuration version could be produced.

For example, 4+64GB, and then the price is reduced by another 1,000 yuan. In that case, sales will definitely increase dramatically, but Nebula Technology does not plan to do that.

Who doesn’t know that the lower the price, the higher the sales volume? But for top flagships, the memory combination is already one of its advantages and cannot be changed.

In addition to the Apple 6s Plus, the sales of the Apple 6s have also been affected to a certain extent, and this is because the Xingyu-Qingling is too cost-effective.

That's right, it's cost-effective. This model was not originally cost-effective, but under Apple's comparison, it has become the king of cost-effectiveness of the new generation.

The money you spend on an Apple 6s with 16GB of memory is enough to buy a top-end data version of Xingyu-Qingling, which can also be paired with a Bluetooth headset.

And it is 128GB, so there is no harm if there is no comparison. In addition, Nebula is applying more and more games. No matter how much you buy Apple, you will lose money.

Perhaps even Cook didn’t expect that the one that would defeat the Apple 6s was not a mobile phone, but a tablet.

I think at the beginning, they used this method to seduce some Android phone manufacturers with iPad mini, but now it's the other way around.

And Nebula Technology is doing better than Apple, but to Liu Dalang's surprise, such a voice gradually appeared on the Internet.

Using a Nebula phone will give you more dignity than using an Apple phone. This kind of statement is actually very dangerous.

It will lead some consumers to a certain extreme. Apple is a typical example. There are two extreme oppositions between Guobiao and anti-fans.

Now, Hoshibuki's power is gradually expanding, and at the same time, some improper remarks will appear, resulting in more and more black fans.

Liu Dalang immediately notified the Nebula Marketing Department to ask the Nebula navy to restrain itself and stop such incorrect guidance, and at the same time crack down on other trolls.

"The boy who slayed the dragon finally became a dragon?"

When Nebula Technology shatters Apple's label that represents face, Nebula Technology will become the next Apple. This is a very helpless thing.

Whether it is Nebula or Apple, he hopes that consumers will value the product itself more than other things, but there is no way.

If this is the case, Liu Dalang's response is also very simple. On the one hand, he lets the Nebula Marketing Department provide correct guidance, and on the other hand, he develops technology.

Let Nebula Technology truly become a technology giant that leads the world's waves. Then they can brag as long as the things they brag about are facts.

At least in terms of peripheral hardware, the accessories used in Nebula Technology's products are among the best in their price range, and they are Nebula Technology's own.

In order to clear inventory, they will not replace some previous molds with chips and then sell them. Are they making mobile phones or playing Renaissance?

Both the Nebula-Cepheus and Andromeda models were released on September 20, while the Apple 6s and 6s Plus were released on the 25th, five days apart.

On the day of the official launch, Nebula Technology had a total of 750,000 mobile phones. According to Liu Dalang's expectation, so many mobile phones should be sold for a few days.

What I didn't expect was that on the day of the sale, in addition to online sales, offline Nebula direct stores and malls were once again full of people.

Nebulas users have become more and more accustomed to Nebula Technology's sales method. If they want to buy, they can go to the store to try it out at any time.

Moreover, the appearance of Nebula-Andromeda, coupled with the smart protective leather case, looks quite amazing. If we have to say the shortcomings, it is a bit unaffordable...

The starting price of 7788 is a relatively high price for many consumers, but who says that if you can’t afford it, you can’t go to the store to check it out?

As a result, many people in Nebula directly-operated stores, shopping malls, and counters want to experience the experience of using Nebula-Andromeda and Cepheus.

All I can say is that no matter which of these two phones they are, you only need to play them once, with the cool ceramic texture and the silky smooth Nebula OS.

Paired with 120hz high brush, whoever uses it knows! The era of high refresh rate has arrived. After getting used to high refresh rate, it will be difficult to go back to the 60hz refresh rate.

750,000 Nebula folding screen flagships have flowed into the mobile phone market, which is not much for the Chinese market where hundreds of millions of units are shipped every year.

In less than a day, the online Nebula official website, shopping malls, flagship stores, and self-operated stores were out of stock. The gold-colored Nebula-Andromeda was already sold out.

Faced with this situation, many consumers have questioned whether Nebula Technology specializes in hunger marketing? In fact, this is not the case.

The gilt-color Nebula-Andromeda itself only accounts for a quarter of the total, and it is distributed to two-thirds offline, leaving not much online channels.

There are only 60,000 units in the three channels, and they are divided into two memory combinations. Sixty thousand mobile phones are sold in one day. Even Liu Dalang did not expect this result.

At the same time, he also had a little experience of Apple's speed of making money. Without Nebula Technology, Apple 6s Plus would have been another generation of miracle machine this year.

The enamel art version of Nebula-Cepheus, priced at 36,999, was all delivered to buyers on the day it went on sale, but most of them were scalpers.

Of the 100 enamel art editions, only 6 were purchased by normal consumers, and the rest were taken away by scalpers who wanted to make a profit on the price difference.

Liu Dalang took a look and found that the enamel art version of Nebula-Cepheus was actually sold for 100,000 yuan per unit. These scalpers are really ruthless!

Some big guys also called Liu Dalang, hoping that he could keep one. Liu Dalang said that he could come to Nebula Technology for private customization.

There are only 100 units of the mass-produced enamel art version of Nebula-Cepheus, and only 100 units are released to the public. It is a proper void mobile phone.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and those who can afford it can't buy it. The real big guys have gone directly to Nebula Technology for secret transactions.

However, Nebula Technology only released 100 units of the enamel art version. As a result, thousands of units of the same model appeared in the secondary market!

"I'll choke you, I'll take it!"

As a last resort, Nebula Technology can only issue an official announcement to remind consumers to remember to distinguish the authenticity, as there are still products worth several thousand yuan that are fake at first sight!

Dalang Technology squeezed the copycat mobile phone market in Huaqiangbei, so some people with ulterior motives seized the opportunity and started to cheat Nebula Technology.

If Pineapple Technology hadn't been there, how could they have been allowed to be so presumptuous? Unfortunately, Pineapple Technology still has a tough battle to fight with Apple in Southeast Asia.

When Pineapple Technology comes back, just let Zhang Bo reorganize the Huaqiangbei market.

Nebula Technology can do it on its own, but it has done everything by itself. When Pineapple Technology comes back, it doesn’t even have a job. Can it still have fun?

After Apple’s autumn conference, Nebula Technology immediately obtained a batch of Apple 6s and 6s Plus and sent them to the testing agency.

Of course, it is expected that public testing institutions will not be able to find anything at all, and Nebula Technology will have to personally handle the remaining batch of Apple mobile phones.

In three days, they obtained a series of professional data and recorded every data detection method and process.

Everything depends on evidence. Without evidence, it will definitely not work. If Apple does not slow down, then none of this will affect them.

But the problem is that Apple has really slowed down older mobile phones by updating patches. This is an opportunity for Pineapple Technology to gain access to the Southeast Asian market.

At the same time, Nebula Technology will also work with domestic mobile phone manufacturers to further reduce Apple’s market share in China and put them under pressure.

Some people will always ask, what would it be like if Apple stopped playing toothpaste, devoted all its energy to research and development, and strived to be at the top?

Liu Dalang also wanted to know. He also wanted to know what the level of Intel and Qualcomm, which were full of firepower, would they squeeze out toothpaste and ruin their products?

He even wanted to shout: "Come on! I'll crush your toothpaste tubes!"

If you want to hit a higher high-tech level, relying on Nebula Technology alone is definitely not enough. You must make international giants feel the pressure and then roll up.

When Nebula Technology was preparing to give Apple a try, Gionee Chairman Liu Lilong sent an invitation letter to Liu Dalang, inviting him to dinner.

Dinner was a lie, but talking about business was real. Judging from what Liu Lilong meant between the lines, he had an absolutely big deal to discuss.

Ever since, Liu Dalang accepted Liu Lilong's invitation, but the place for dinner was at a star-rated hotel near the Xingyun Technology Industrial Park.

The two had only met once or twice before, but after meeting this time, it seemed as if they had known each other for decades, but without any feelings.

"Mr. Liu, long time no see!"

"Hey, when people think of Mr. Liu now, the first thing people think of must be you!"

"I dare not take it seriously. You are a senior. I also have a Gionee mobile phone in my collection. It is really durable!"

“Without golden quality, how can we establish the world?”

"Haha, I like it!"

They said they were having dinner together, but the two groups of people didn't eat a bite of the food. Gionee came to the door with only one thing in mind: they wanted to get the Nebula OS license.

When Liu Dalang heard this, he immediately frowned. He also knew that Jinli had been in recession in the past few years, and he also knew that Liu Lilong wanted to make a comeback.

It seems that there is no problem, but in fact the problem is huge. Now Gionee is like dancing on the tip of a knife, and the situation is difficult to control.

Liu Dalang wanted to eat the whole Jinli, but he didn't want to bet on Liu Lilong.

He was a bit too radical, and often left his destiny in the hands of others. The most famous one was losing $700 million in a single hand of cards.

Knowing that he was being tricked, he still imagined that he could save Gionee in this way. How could he rest assured with such a partner?

Liu Lilong saw something was wrong, so he increased his chips, and Liu Dalang's brows gradually relaxed, as if he had figured something out for a while.

"Nebulas OS is the foundation of Nebulas technology. We once installed Nebulas OS on Nokia phones due to financial constraints, as you all know.

But with the development of Nebula OS, its core content is gradually enriched. In the past, maybe we could cooperate, but now...

But we can cooperate in another way. Gionee has its own engineers, and we will provide some assistance to Gionee's UI!

At the same time, in terms of hardware, we can carry out more cooperation, not just limited to software, the hardware aspect is also very important! "

Liu Lilong really had no choice. He did not have the final say in the supply chain alone. Nebula Technology was very defensive and would not help him at all.

In the end, the cooperation between Xingyun and Jinli failed. When Liu Lilong was about to leave, Liu Dalang said to him alone:

"You said, can a person who is on the road of no return still control his own destiny?"

"Haha, Mr. Liu is joking. I personally think that each of us can change our own destiny in some ways!"

"Oh? What you said reminds me of my childhood life in the countryside. My biggest wish was to be admitted to a high school in the county.

But people's desires can never be satisfied. I successfully passed the high school entrance examination, and I want to go to college. After I go to college, I want to make a lot of money.

Sometimes I envy you because you have good education and abilities, but when I think of my life in the countryside, I no longer envy you.

Because my current life is something I never dreamed of when I was a child. The most important thing for a person is to be satisfied, don’t you think? "

"Yes, I also grew up in a rural area, so I can understand this feeling, but when we are in it, we have no choice!"

"Then go in another direction!"

"difficult!"

Liu Dalang swore that trying to persuade a gambler to turn back was definitely the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life. How could he turn back when there was no return?

It must be said that Jin Li's quality and Li Tianxia did attract him, but Jin Li's demise seemed to be a foregone conclusion and no one could change it.

If given the chance, Nebula Technology will eat up Gionee without hesitation, but Gionee mobile phones are destined to become a piece of history.

With Nebula Technology taking the lead in resisting Apple, major domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to promote their own products, which are really cost-effective.

Now, some people who blindly followed the trend and bought Apple have finally looked back at these domestic mobile phone manufacturers and found that their mobile phones do not seem to be bad.

It’s even a bit unexpected. For the money you spend on one Apple, you can buy two or even three domestic mobile phones to play with. It’s quite happy.

Of course, the current domestic mobile phones are not as good as Apple in terms of user experience, but considering the price, it is not unacceptable.

For some consumers who spend money on a cost-effective mobile phone and still want to experience a flagship phone, they may be a little disappointed. After all, you get what you pay for.

However, there is another prerequisite for getting what you pay for, and that is to distinguish those brands whose brand premium has exceeded the value of the product itself.
