Rewrite the Technological Landscape

This meeting is actually of great significance to Meng Qian. Although many things will take time to develop, at least the higher-ups have begun to attach great importance to the issue of public opinion warfare, at least the higher-ups are ready to take action, and this pair has been rushing to public opinion. For the front-line Dafeng Group, it means that the cultural output and social media development of the Dafeng Group has the country as a big backer.

Sure enough, Dafeng Group's cultural industry and social media were on the "National Foreign Sales List" soon after. In short, when the leaders go out to discuss business in the future, in addition to selling high-speed rail and infrastructure, they will also sell Dafeng if the situation permits. Cultural products of the group.

In the detailed discussion in the following two days, the leaders also recognized a very important thing, that is, cultural output is not Yangchun Baixue, but more people from Liba.

Chinese traditional culture such as Beijing opera calligraphy is very charming, but the problem is that these things are not even paid attention to by young people in China, so how can foreigners pay attention to them? The cultural output of China in this life is definitely much more successful than in the previous life. , the biggest reason is Gale Group's games and novels, just like most people like Neon Kingdom because of their comics, not their tea ceremony.

Only popular things can be more accepted by people, and the cultural core can be better realized by embedding the cultural core in popular content.

Just like the game design of Dafeng Group, from character image to clothing to architecture to environment, it has the elegance of traditional culture and the trend of modern civilization. When foreigners play games, they will gradually leave relevant impressions on Huaxia.

Therefore, the launch of some works is accelerating.

On May 28th, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference began. Meng Qian kept paying attention, but did not see any surprises. There were no changes from appearance to performance, including user complaints caused by low prices. iPhone 3G 16GB The version is only 299 yuan, which is nearly half cheaper than the iPhone 2G, causing a large number of iPhone 2G users to complain.

However, there is still a big change in the iPhone 3G, that is, it is announced that it will enter the Chinese market, a whole generation ahead of schedule, and the price of the 16G version in China is 2999.

"I can't help it when I see Huaxia's spending power." Meng Qian smiled and shook his head, but he didn't care too much. Come on, let's see who is more popular with consumers.

In the past, Apple sales in the Chinese market accounted for 25% of the total Apple sales. In this life, Meng Qian also wanted to see what kind of data it would be.

However, Meng Qian didn't care, and enthusiastic netizens couldn't hold back. Just after Apple announced that the iPhone 3G would enter China, some netizens immediately picked up the interview that Jobs said he didn't like the Chinese market and posted it on the Internet.

In fact, when the iPhone 3GS was announced to enter China, some people picked up on Jobs’ past remarks, but because the iPhone 3GS was not popular in China at all, people didn’t care much about it. The iPhone 4 suddenly became popular, and the madness of consumers directly suppressed them. Negative comments, and then Jobs was directly in Huaxia to be a myth.

In addition, when the iPhone 3GS entered China, Weibo hot searches hadn't been published yet, and netizens were discussing it on some post bars, which had no influence.

But in this life, there has been a hot search for rumors, and it didn't take long for #乔世斯谦不看华夏# to go directly to the hot search.

"Adults should be responsible for their own words. Since you look down on us so much, please don't get involved with us. We are not worthy of your apple. Get out!"

"It's funny looking down on us and trying to make our money."

"Capitalists can sell everything in front of capital. It's not normal for Jobs to do so."

The topic fermented quickly. One of the reasons was also because of the various slanders against China by external forces this year, which made many Chinese people very unhappy. Seeing Apple's behavior at this time instantly ignited the anger of the Chinese people. What are we Huaxia doing? You scold us and still want to make money from us?

Apple probably didn't expect that choosing to enter Huaxia early at this time would actually have a negative effect, and it was afraid that it would die before it could succeed.

At the beginning of June, Meng Qian called the person in charge of the mobile phone business department to the office to learn about the latest situation of Hongmeng.

"As of June 1, the sales volume of Hongmeng 2 has exceeded 9 million, of which the sales in the Chinese market accounted for 40%. However, judging from the sales curve, the overall sales volume has begun to decline recently, especially the emergence of Android phones and Vientiane phones. There are still some shocks, but fortunately, the market reputation of the Android system and the Vientiane system are not very good."

"How's the fight between Android and Vientiane these days?"

"Android mobile phones are still not available in China, and Vientiane mobile phones have basically not gone abroad for the time being. It may take some time to wait for a head-to-head confrontation."

"That's right. Remember to pay more attention to the situation of Android and Vientiane. What is the specific situation of Hongmeng overseas?"

"Currently, the largest overseas market is still in Neon Country, accounting for 13% of the sales volume. However, the European market is showing potential recently. This is the sales curve in Europe. Mr. Meng can take a look at it.

In May, sales in other markets were falling, and only Europe was rising. In addition, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy have all expressed positive attitudes. We are stepping up negotiations and hope to enter these countries within this year. market. "

Meng Qian looked at the data, "Which countries are the most difficult to enter now?"

"The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand."

"How about Canada?"

"The sales in Canada are good, and more than 300,000 units have been sold so far."

"Why is the sales in Southeast Asia so weak?" Meng Qian looked at the data and found the problem.

"I'm planning to report this matter to Mr. Meng in a while. The distributors in Southeast Asia have recently reported to us that a large number of Chinese versions of Hongmeng are entering the Southeast Asian market."

Meng Qian came to his senses, "Smuggling?"

"There are smugglers who purchase on behalf of others. The price of Hongmeng overseas is about 1,000 more expensive than ours in China, especially the low-end version is 20% more expensive. In some countries, there is an additional tax. Such a price difference will naturally cause overseas users to complain. care.

Not to mention Southeast Asia, there are also many smugglers and purchasing agents in Europe. The average salary in the middle and upper reaches of Europe is around 2,000 Euros, while the average salary in Eastern Europe is basically less than 1,000 Euros, let alone Lomalia, Bulgaria. In these countries, the per capita salary is only 300 Euros. Considering the gap between the rich and the poor, many people in Europe will also care about the price difference. "

Meng Qian rubbed his chin, "It's not easy for us to deal with the problem of smuggling and purchasing agents."

"The dealer over there is saying let's level the price."

"Hasn't the price in Southeast Asia been lowered a little, the price difference should be only 10%? As for Europe, our main markets in Europe should be developed countries. The developed countries are so kind as to let us sell the same in developing countries. price?"

"But the question arose after all."

"This problem didn't start with our Hongmeng mobile phone. Nokia sells at different prices in different countries. It is even more expensive in China than in the UK. What did the dealers in China say? They just want to make trouble, so don't bother They have finished the product, and some people are vying for agents.”

Meng Qian's attitude was tough, and the people below did not dare to say more, "By the way, how is the application situation?"

"As of now, Hongmeng Mall has launched more than 8,000 applications, of which Huaxia application providers account for half."

"How did the market react?"

"Very good. The applications under the new system are generally very stable, and dozens of popular applications have also been released."

Meng Qian nodded, "Applications are very important, and we must keep abreast of the situation. Now that Android, Vientiane, and Apple have started to develop ecology, don't be preempted by others.

Speaking of this, what is the current attitude of the app providers in the United States? "

"There are quite a few app providers in the US participating in the Hongmeng Ecosystem, but none of the big apps in the US seem to want to enter our ecosystem."

"Oh? Which big applications?"

"YouTube, MSN, Amazon."

"This is to threaten European users with their products while we have just started to build an ecosystem." Meng Qian couldn't help but sneer when he heard the news, "I really take myself seriously, you are like this, they are not unwilling now Enter our ecology, you will go to the operation department to connect with the operation department in a while, and magnify this matter to let everyone know that they do not want to enter our ecology.

It would be better to have a fight with them again, but just talk and don't sue them. "

"What is the purpose of Mr. Meng doing this?"

"I'm afraid they will regret it and want to join our ecology." Hongmeng can't refuse the entry of applications like MSN and YouTube. If they refuse, they will be suspected of monopolizing and easily sued. In the end, they don't want to come by themselves. Meng Qian thought about it and felt this way Not bad, "I hope they can be so tough all their lives, don't be like Apple."
