Chapter 323: Counterfeit Phone
May 15.
Liu Kaili lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Compared to half a year ago, he looked much older.
His wife and daughter left, the store closed down, and he lived in the prosperous city of Yanjing with his few savings.
Compared to half a month ago, he was much more energetic.
The launch of iPhone 4 made him keenly aware of the business opportunities. Before the launch, he took 300,000 yuan in cash and queued for nearly two days in Joy City. Finally, amid the complaints of people behind him, he bought 50 iPhone 4s and sold them to those dealers, making a lot of money. Therefore, he was on the news of some technology network...
This is much more profitable than selling integrated stoves with great effort!
Having tasted the sweetness, he not only continued to queue himself, but also began to hire a group of unemployed vagrants in society to queue up for mobile phones!
Although the pre-sale of iPhone 4 lasted for ten days, as IPO companies began to ship in large quantities to China, the resale price dropped a lot, but the market potential is still huge!
"Mr. Liu!"
"What's wrong?"
"Have you heard? Zhang Sheng has authorized the appearance patent of iPhone 4 to some companies in Huaqiangbei!"
"Why are you telling me this..."
"Guess how much this phone I have is now?"
"iPhone 4? Can't it be sold at a minimum of 6,000 now?"
"Yes, but do you know the cost price of this phone?"
"4,999?"
"No, no!"
"Wait, you didn't get a parallel import phone, did you?"
"I'll tell you honestly, this is not a parallel import phone, it's a genuine one!"
"How much, don't keep me in suspense!"
"The cost price is 500!"
"What the hell, what did you say? Are you kidding me?"
"The cost price is 500 yuan! But once I resell it, I can sell it at a minimum of 4,999, or even the same price as iPhone 4!"
"How did you do that?"
"Do you know Huaqiangbei?"
"I've heard of..."
"Futian District High-tech Production Park In the district, there are ten companies that have obtained Apple's appearance patents. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Speak carefully!"
"Stupid! You buy a mobile phone core circuit board, then go to the Futian District High-tech Production Park and spend some money to ask someone to make an original Apple 4 shell and package the shell! The original price of the mobile phone is 4999, and it's all done for 500 yuan!"
"Fuck, can you do this? Will the program inside be different?"
"You are stupid, you don't sell it for 4999, you sell it for 1999, Mr. Liu, I tell you, you can queue up to be a scalper now, but, don't you see that the price increase of Apple 4 has begun to go down? How long can you be a scalper, smart people have started to produce mobile phones by themselves!"
"Fuck!"
"Set up a small shell assembly workshop, you can easily produce at least 50 mobile phones a day, and all the mobile phone materials can be purchased in Huaqiangbei!"
When Liu Kaili heard the two words "Zhang Sheng", he couldn't help but feel a little resistant in his heart.
Seeing this former salesman suddenly jump to the point where he looked up to him, this feeling of gap made him difficult to accept for a long time.
However, when he heard that he could assemble an iPhone 4 phone...
He trembled all over in an instant and realized that this was a way!
Then, he looked at his friend...
Finally nodded.
……………………………………
Huaqiangbei has always been known as the No. 1 Electronic Street in China and the global technology fashion place.
At its peak, Huaqiangbei had 36 wholesale markets and 26,000 shops. The rent for a palm-sized place was 120,000 yuan a year!
May 16.
Dawn.
The first ray of dawn shone on Liu Bangshun's face.
Liu Bangshun opened the store early and posted a homemade poster [20 iPhone 4s arrived today, 200 Pingguo 4s arrived today! ]
As soon as the self-made poster was posted, a huge crowd of people rushed over, holding banknotes and squeezing into the door to buy iPhone 4.
But Liu Bangshun was not in a hurry to sell.
Instead, he asked customers to line up one by one and took out a mobile phone that was exactly the same as the iPhone 4 from another box of machines.
"Do you want the Pingguo 4 for 1099?"
After he said this...
The audience was instantly in an uproar, and those young people holding banknotes were stunned!
Damn, even parallel imports can't be so cheap!
Amidst the noise, Liu Bangshun grinned and showed a smile, then took out a big square box.
Then with a "crash", all the utensils in the big square box fell on the counter as if they were free!
"Fuck!"
After seeing Liu Bangshun take out the machine in the square box and mark the price, a group of people immediately exclaimed!
The box was full of brand new iPhone 4 phones!
"Boss, is this really the iPhone 4 for 1099?"
"Yes! This is the Pingguo 4, a genuine domestic version, dual SIM dual standby, super tweeter!"
"Wait, boss, that's not right, why is this iPhone 4 different from the advertised iPhone 4, why is the packaging all Pingguo 4? How can you pirate it so badly?"
"Just tell me if you want it or not, the Pingguo 4 for 1099, 4 million pixels, supports MP3, MP4, what else do you want? If you don't want it, don't buy it, there are many people who want it..."
"No, I want it, I want to purchase twenty units!"
"Okay! Cash transfer is fine!"
"..."
The goods are ready in the factory at seven o'clock in the morning.
At ten o'clock in the morning, two hundred units of authentic Huaxia Pingguo 4 had been sold out.
Liu Bangshun was holding white banknotes in his hand, and his expression of excitement was beyond words.
Then...
He made a call to his factory and asked them to speed up the delivery of the second batch of goods. The orders in his hand were about to explode.
After the phone call.
He looked at the dealers gathered in front of the counter and waved his hands subconsciously, with a warm smile on his face.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd. Our factory has a second batch of Pingguo 4 coming. Don't worry, the quality is safe and reliable..."
After saying this...
He straightened his clothes and sat at the counter.
The cell phone counters next door heard the noise here and gathered around.
"Old Liu, can you Pingguo 4 give us a break? This thing is so damn easy to sell. These young people are cursing and saying that we are engaging in piracy, but, hey, they are grabbing each other faster than the other one. !”
"Wait a minute, the factory is still loading, and it will be ready at about two o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Then hurry up! Tell me as soon as the goods arrive. This is the deposit!"
"okay!"
Liu Bangshun finished dealing with some colleagues who came over to place orders, and when he was about to sit down and rest for a while, he happened to see Xu Bowen in a suit walking towards the door of the store.
He stood up and went over to greet him.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, was it the wind that brought you here?"
"Mr. Liu, this is Pingguo 4's planning plan. I made a USB flash drive. TV advertising is too expensive and we can't afford it, so we will do offline advertising... You can send these ads to all the dealers you work with." Go down, do you have a USB flash drive here?”
"Yes, yes!"
"good!"
"By the way, Mr. Zhang means that your factory can produce another batch of Apple 4!"
"We are getting rid of fruit 4!"
"No, what I mean is that we can also get a batch of authentic Apple 4. The Apple 4 in the United States that year was called iPhone 4. It was in pure English. Mr. Zhang has consulted the law. We can get a packaging box here. The packaging box is called Apple 4!”
"Can you still play like this?"
"Yes! Mr. Liu, your factory is among the ten cooperative factories. It is one with its own technological content. Mr. Zhang told us about the apple picture of Apple 4. They bite the left side, and we bite the right side. There is no infringement. !”
"Okay! But wouldn't that be too shameless?"
"Don't worry, we own the design patent. Before the IPO company wants to sue us for infringement, we must first sue them for infringement!"
"good!"
"By the way, our own iPhone 4 is a little more expensive, at least 1,500!"
"clear!"
Liu Bangshun's heart was pounding, but he still nodded.
He seemed to see a lot of money, with a pair of wings, flying towards him.
"Mr. Xu, come in and sit down."
"No, I won't sit down anymore. I have to go to other factories to see..."
"Mr. Xu, does Mr. Zhang have any arrangements for other factories? Are their marketing methods different from ours?"
"It's different. Some people simply advertise on TV and directly open factory direct sales stores... Don't worry, follow Mr. Zhang's idea, you can make enough money this month!"
"OK!"
Liu Bangshun watched Xu Bowen adjust his suit and then left the mall.
Then...
He took the USB flash drive and stuffed it into the big speaker.
After a brief debugging, a crisp sound suddenly sounded from the big speaker!
"The shock of Pingguo 4 is coming!"
“Don’t want 4999, don’t want 3999, just 1099, 1099, I’ll take 4 home!”
"Original and genuine! Dual SIM card, dual standby, free Internet access for twenty years!"
"..."
After hearing the tweeter sound.
A group of dealers who poured into the market not far away made a "crash" sound in an instant, and they all crowded in the direction of the sound.
……………………
May 17th.
【IPO Huaxia】Flagship store.
After the person in charge, Billy, reported today's sales to the head office, he sat silently on the chair and prepared to take a good nap.
He's been very busy these days.
On the one hand, we have to make arrangements for the delivery of goods from the American head office; on the other hand, we have to negotiate with various channels in China and work with assistants to sort out orders.
Although he is very energetic, after all, people are not made of iron, and they will naturally get tired.
Just when he was about to take a nap, the office door opened.
Then...
The assistant came over in a hurry.
"Mr. Billy, look at this phone."
"What's wrong?" Billy took the iPhone 4 phone handed over by his assistant and looked at it for a long time: "Is there any problem?"
"Take a closer look!"
"Well, what? This is, this is..."
When Billy took the back of the iPhone 4 and saw the iPhone 4, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Oh, God!
What is this stuff!
