Chapter 328 The Spring of Copycat Phones (Part 2) (Third Update!)

Yangcheng.

It was drizzling.

Joss was holding an umbrella and standing on the street of Huaqiangbei, the first electronic street in China and the global technology fashion place.

Huaqiangbei was very lively.

Even after Joss came to the street of Huaqiangbei, he couldn't help being shocked by the grand scene of the street.

In the hazy rain, he stood on the street and looked into the distance.

In the distance, rows of dazzling technology stores stood on the street, and in the shopping mall, you couldn't see the end of the counter at a glance.

On the street...

The sound was very noisy.

Countless horns hit Joss's eardrums again, making Joss very uncomfortable.

The vendors coming and going were constantly flowing, and they looked at Joss and the others from time to time. They were a little surprised that the two stood on the street like sculptures, but then they continued to be busy without much curiosity.

On this street in Yangcheng, Americans are not uncommon, especially black people, who can be seen almost every few hundred meters.

"This is the factory store of [Nimei] mobile phone!"

"This is the factory store of [Apple 4]..."

"This is the factory store of [Sydney] mobile phone, and there are [Durian], [Moon]..."

Jos listened to Weiss's introduction, and he felt that his three views were refreshed. In his life, he had never found that these Chinese people could be so shameless!

He walked into a large shopping mall, and then he saw many "factory stores".

Simple!

Messy!

There was even only a counter and a sign, but holding a tweeter, shouting "factory store" direct sales.

In such a simple world, there were many buyers watching, and they were also very excited. He saw with his own eyes that the 699 mobile phone was snatched away.

Here, he saw all kinds of iPhone4!

Yes! Some are ihone4, some are Phone4, and some are even more exaggerated, with an Apple 5 directly marked in Chinese...

He looked at the Apple 5, which was exactly the same as the shell model of the iPhone4, but it was doubled, and then two or three cameras were added, and then it was considered innovative!

Here, he even saw an iPhone 4 with a ticker!

Yes!

He was shocked to see a piece of music called "In the Rain" playing, and then, a series of brilliant tickers flashed on the side of the iPhone 4 shell. Several young people with hair combed like hedgehogs played songs and shook their iPhone 4 phones, immersed in the music, just like those fashion artists in France!

He watched these young people leave and felt that he couldn't understand the Chinese market.

He even thought that it would be nice to put a few tickers next to his Apple phone.

"This is China's Shamatte..."

"What is Shamatte?"

"We call it smart, it is a street art that became popular in China a few years ago, and young people are crazy..."

"Oh."

Weiss explained to Jos.

Jos nodded, but he didn't quite understand why China's street art style was like this.

After leaving the two shopping malls, Jos felt that China's piracy was no longer crazy, but had reached the point of being crazy!

What do you think of [Puppy Phone], [Tengu Phone], [Dalang Phone]...

There is even...

[Jost Phone]!

He stared at his headshot being photoshopped onto the back of a phone...

Aren't these people afraid that he would sue them?

After visiting some shopping malls in Huaqiangbei, Joss followed Weiss into the car and headed towards some science and technology parks.

In his impression, industrial parks should be full of factories, countless trucks coming in and out, and all kinds of new equipment.

However, the factories Joss arrived at were all dilapidated, moss-covered boxes. Of course, there were many factories, but they were the kind of very simple iron houses that could be seen at a glance!

"Weiss, are you sure it's here?"

"Yes! According to my investigation, this is the source of these pirated mobile phones... Billy is waiting for us over there!"

"..."

Joss saw Billy.

Billy was very excited when he saw Joss, and he chattered a lot of things. Then, he introduced Joss to the Huaxia staff of their [IPO Huaxia].

The Chinese staff looked at him as if he saw an idol, but he also knew that this was not the time to get excited. He then calmed down, asked Jos and Weiss to put on sunglasses and hats, and then led a few people to the depths of the alley.

Although it was an alley, there were a lot of people pouring into this alley. Jos felt that he was squeezed in the crowd...

Their first stop was a mobile phone shell processing factory that was not big but crowded.

The Chinese staff said something, and then several people at the door nodded and brought them in.

"Give me thirty shells!"

"I don't have enough here, give me fifty!"

"I need sixty, you let the machine come out quickly, my customers are waiting to use it!"

"One thousand!"

"..."

After walking in...

Jos found that the outside of the processing factory was full of Chinese people holding briefcases.

They all lined up and kept talking to the person in charge of the factory. Some people came out from inside, and Jos looked at the bags in their hands!

All of them are iPhone 4 mobile phone shells. Even Jos himself can't tell whether they are real or made by this small factory.

"Basically, those pirated mobile phone shells come from here!"

"I'll take you to see the workshop!"

Jos nodded and followed the staff to the back door of the store. Then, he saw workers operating the compression machine for making shells. While operating, they cut the burrs on the shells and glued the iPhone 4 logo on them!

Wait!

No, it's not iPhone 4, but ihone 4!

Wait, it's not ihone 4 either. There are all kinds of brands here [Nimei Mobile Phone], [Pineapple Mobile Phone], [Sydney Mobile Phone]...

When he saw this scene, he was a little stunned.

These people actually did not hide that they were doing pirated products. They didn't even close the door of the small workshop at the back. They were just openly planning to do these things.

There was even a little girl wearing glasses who came out and asked them what brand and logo they wanted to put on, and also introduced the charging items to them.

Logos like [Nime] and [Pineapple] are free, just pay for the phone body, but if you want to design a new phone logo, it will cost one hundred yuan each!

Jos could hardly believe his ears and eyes!

LOGO!

One hundred yuan to design one!

Afterwards, he followed the Huaxia staff to the other side.

On the other side, he saw the workers packing the phone cases, and after packing, they sent them to the front counter, and then, as soon as they were taken out, they were snatched away.

He left the phone shell processing shop and walked to another circuit board workshop. The other circuit board workshop was more open and aboveboard, and even moved the stall outside, and [Our store has a new three-front Huaxing computer board, which can be equipped with iPhone4 phone cases! ]

Are these people crazy?

"Don't rush, it will be ready soon!"

"You line up!"

"Foreigners are also snatching goods?"

"You Americans have to line up, go to the front line!"

"..."

Jos walked to the back and saw some people queuing, so he walked in curiously.

Then, he saw that this group of people actually removed all the shells of the [Huaxing] mobile phone, revealing a circuit board, and repeatedly tested these circuit boards on the assembly line, and finally threw them into the basket next to them like throwing away garbage.

The leader did not recognize Joss after seeing him, but just waved his hand unhappily and asked Joss to go and line up, as if he was used to it.

It seems that many Americans are also buying goods here?

Joss saw that the disassembled circuit boards were taken away by another group of people, and followed this group of people to another slightly larger workshop.

Or rather, it was not a workshop, but a warehouse.

A warehouse selling cameras?

"iPhone4 professional camera!"

He saw the words posted on the warehouse and asked the Huaxia staff to translate it.

When Weiss helped him translate the camera of dozens of yuan, he was completely stunned!

Their iPhone4 camera was only 48 yuan in this place. Yes, he did not see it wrong, and Weiss did not translate it wrong. It was not 488 or 188, but 48!

And it was the price on the surface. Jos saw that some people actually bought a box of cameras for an average price of about 40 yuan.

After Jos looked at the cameras, he then saw the speakers, buttons, flash...

Although he didn't know whether these cameras were as exquisite as the iPhone 4, he found that the price of these things combined could be reduced by 400 yuan!

They walked towards the most remote place in the innermost part, and he saw several security guards standing in the old bungalows.

He leaned forward a little.

But the security guard seemed very alert and stopped them, not letting him in, saying that it was a confidential place!

Finally saw the secrets, no longer openly engaged in piracy?

Although he didn't go in, Jos saw a car driving by.

It seemed that all the cars were assembled and sent to all parts of the country!

…………………………

They wandered around until the evening...

Then they returned to the hotel.

Jos felt that his worldview was somewhat shattered...

He lay on the bed, thinking about the scenes he saw today. Although he didn't understand, the fake iPhone 4s hurt his heart.

The whole city of Guangzhou is full of all kinds of "factory stores".

They are simple, cheap, low-end, and even have no quality...

However, they are very cheap.

Cheap...

In China, there will be many audiences.

After all, there are really not many rich people in China!

"Dong Dong Dong!"

"Come in!"

Jos saw Billy walk in heavily.

"What's wrong, Billy?"

"Mr. Jos! Our iPhone 4 was released for about ten days, and 80% of the domestic mobile phones on the market are pirated versions of our iPhone 4..."

"Oh, what else?"

"In May, domestic mobile phones in China went crazy. A few days ago, I got a piece of data. The sales of pirated iPhone 4 phones have exceeded ours by twice!"

"Surpassed us?"

"Yes, surpassed us...Now many people on the streets are using iPhone 4, but nearly half of them are pirated, and some are so pirated that I can't tell them apart..."

"Keep going!"

"There is even worse news!"

"What?"

"Many of our flagship store employees are secretly selling pirated iPhone 4s. I just received a report from a user that an employee was using a pirated iPhone 4 as a brand new iPhone 4!"

"What?"

Just when Billy wanted to say something else, he received another call.

"What? What did you say? Those people brought pirated, broken iPhone 4s to our flagship store to get them repaired?"

(The third update, the total number of words has exceeded one million, another milestone! Sprinkle flowers!)
