#346 - Preparing for pre-sale
Luo Chui Zi didn't expect that just as the Hammer phone was released, its reputation on the internet would take a turn for the worse.
"With these specs, they still want to sell it for such a high price? Hammer is really overthinking things!"
"With this money, I might as well buy a discounted Xiaomi MIX phone. The Xiaomi MIX phone is at least much better than this phone!"
"With these three thousand five hundred yuan, why would I buy a Hammer?"
Now, the Hammer T2 phone can only be described with a few words: overpriced, underpowered, expensive, and trash.
After all, many netizens look at phone specifications when buying phones, and they were very surprised that the Hammer T2 phone, with such specifications, would be sold at this price.
So now, there's round after round of sarcastic comments about the Hammer T2 phone online.
In Lu Haifeng's office at Huaxing Technology, Yang Qiang knocked on the door and asked, "President Lu, do you think we can announce our Hongmeng SE phone now?"
"After all, the Hammer phone has already been released!"
According to the original plan, the Hongmeng SE phone would be launched on the Huaxing Mall and other online shopping platforms at 3:00 PM today.
However, Yang Qiang waited so long without receiving Lu Haifeng's approval documents, so he came to Lu Haifeng's office to inquire about the situation.
Lu Haifeng heard Yang Qiang's question, looked up, and said regretfully, "Let's wait a little longer, give Luo Chui Zi some face!"
Lu Haifeng still felt sorry for Luo Chui Zi's situation, after all, the Hammer T2 phone had been released for several hours, but its sales hadn't even reached four figures.
Sales in the three digits after several hours is not a good number, especially for a phone that is being sold for the first time.
It can be said that this result will be the most severe blow to Luo Chui Zi.
"President Lu, this!"
Yang Qiang never expected that Lu Haifeng would suddenly change his mind, after all, there are no friends in the business world.
Lu Haifeng saw Yang Qiang's puzzled look and said, "I know it's not appropriate to do this, but we are a parts supplier for the Hammer T2 phone!"
"We should give Luo Chui Zi some face. Maybe we'll have the opportunity to bring Luo Chui Zi's Hammer phone under the Huaxing Technology umbrella in the future!"
Lu Haifeng also knew that his decision was somewhat inappropriate, but considering that Luo Chui Zi was his major client, he still felt that he should give the other party a step back.
Lu Haifeng also had a deeper meaning, which was that in his opinion, the Hammer T2 phone was destined to fail. He wanted to see if he could bring Luo Chui Zi under his control.
After all, after the failure of the Hammer T2 phone, Hammer Phone may also face a situation on the verge of collapse.
And Lu Haifeng valued the talents of Hammer Technology quite a bit. First of all, Luo Chui Zi is a very good marketing talent.
He can also bring a lot of buzz to the product, which is very suitable for marketing work.
Secondly, the Hammer Phone's programming team is also among the top in the industry, especially in software innovation.
… …
Three days later, Huaxing Technology still released the Hongmeng SE phone, giving the Hammer T2 phone three days, which can be regarded as Lu Haifeng giving Luo Chui Zi some face.
As the last phone released by Huaxing Technology this year, it naturally received a lot of attention from consumers.
Of course, this time the phone was released without any publicity. Only a recorded short film was played before the phone launch event.
In this short film of less than fifteen minutes, Yang Qiang, the head of the Hongmeng S series, explained the phone's configuration and positioning to the audience.
"This time, the product we are releasing is called the Hongmeng SE phone!"
"As an upgraded version of the Hongmeng S3 smartphone, it naturally has outstanding improvements in some aspects!"
"First of all, there are upgrades in the body and screen!"
"The original Hongmeng S3 smartphone was equipped with a 4.7-inch 1080P LCD screen, and this time we have expanded the body to 5.1 inches and equipped it with an OLED screen!"
"Another aspect is that the processor has also been upgraded!"
"It is equipped with a Zhulong A3 processor made with a 10nm manufacturing process. In terms of performance, it is slightly stronger than the previous generation processor, with a comprehensive benchmark score of around 240,000!"
"In addition to the processor and screen, this phone has also been upgraded in other aspects!"
"In terms of battery, it is equipped with a large 3500mAh battery, combined with 30W fast charging technology to say goodbye to battery anxiety!"
… …
Yang Qiang, as the person who hosted the launch event last time, is quite familiar with this recorded short film.
After fifteen minutes, all the netizens were shocked by the upgrades of this phone.
"Damn, I suddenly feel like this phone has a flagship feel. Although it can't compare to the third generation of the Hongmeng X series phone, it looks pretty good!"
"I don't know how high the price of this phone is. If the price is right, I will buy it!"
"I don't think the price will be too high, after all, this is still a Hongmeng S series phone!"
"This configuration has basically reached the level of a flagship, so the price shouldn't be too low!"
Netizens on the internet were discussing this phone, and at the same time, they were hoping that the price wouldn't be too high, after all, the configuration parameters of this phone are very good.
Just as these netizens were discussing the price of this phone, the Hongmeng SE on the official website was also officially launched.
The price of this phone gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Hongmeng SE (5.1 inches)
2+64 GB: 2999RMB
3+64 GB: 3299RMB
3+128 GB: 3699RMB
When the price of this phone appeared in front of the netizens, a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.
However, soon everyone discovered some differences from other phone sales.
This time, the Hongmeng SE phone is not directly available for sale like other phones. Instead, you pay a deposit of one hundred yuan, and then pay the balance to purchase the phone three days later.
And this one hundred yuan deposit can be used as two hundred yuan when paying the balance after three days.
Consumers who want to buy the phone are looking at the phone that is about to be pre-ordered, and they only have one word in their minds.
Sweet.
After all, the configuration of this phone plus this price is, to be honest, very attractive.
OLED screen!
Zhulong A3 processor made with a 10nm manufacturing process, with a comprehensive benchmark score of around 240,000.
It can be said that although these configurations do not reach the level of top flagship phones, they are still better than ordinary flagship models.
And the pre-sale price of this phone is only 2999 yuan.
Buying a phone that can almost compare to a flagship phone at the price of a mid-range phone is, to be honest, a very good choice.
This has also led to countless users setting their sights on this phone, determined to get this very cost-effective phone.
