Chapter 66 An uncomfortable New Year

 What are the most popular electronic products during the Chinese New Year this year?
Most people have only one answer.
HeiZi MP4!
Unique and exquisite design!
Powerful and practical functions!
Plus a touch screen control experience that no other product has!
This makes this MP4 the most popular and high-profile product in the electronics industry.
Of course, the love and attention of this product by most users has a certain relationship with the corresponding sales strategy.
After all, the overall production capacity of this product cannot satisfy all consumers.
From product promotion to sales to the Chinese New Year, the total number of products in the entire offline channel is only 20,000 units.
Obviously, the offline shipment volume of 20,000 units is completely unable to meet the needs of most consumers for this product.
So some scalpers appeared on the market!
Of course, these scalpers can also be second-level or third-level dealers of products.
Some of these scalpers supply products through offline channels, while some rely on online channels to resell products.
Therefore, in this era, there are already ways to purchase products online, but when most netizens purchase products, their first choice is offline channels. There are always only a few users who actually choose to purchase products online.
In the hands of these sellers, the price of this type of product directly exceeds the official price of 1,999 yuan, and some products are even sold for 2,300 to 400 yuan.
Even so, some consumers who pursue fashion are willing to spend more to buy these products.
Consumers who have purchased such products on the forum are extremely satisfied with this brand-new product.
Even many buyers have posted some posts about their product experience in forums to show off the products they purchased to users who have not purchased.
All in all, during the Chinese New Year, this product has become the best electronic product in the minds of most young users.
The popularity of this product has even spread directly to overseas.
It also lets overseas users know that a company in China has produced a particularly powerful electronic product.
As an avant-garde technology company in Citi, after the death of founder Steve Jobs, Fruit Company has never been able to come up with a breakthrough product and still survives with limited old products.
Although MP4 products such as Guozi Pod were released last year, although this product is said to be relatively good online, its overall sales are not satisfactory.
As the person in charge of the company, Cook is very clear about whether the product is good or not. After all, the price of this product is really higher than many people's expectations.
In terms of function and user experience, some products can completely replace the products produced by the Guozi family. Even in the Huaqiangbei region of distant China, copycat products appeared in less than three months after the Guozi products were launched.
Similar appearance, similar functions, plus a price of less than 20%, this has simply blocked the sales of this product.
Recently, Cook has set his sights on a product in China that has just been released and is very popular on the market.
HeiZi MP4!
This is a popular product in China recently, and Cook also learned about this product from the forum.
When Cook entered the product's official website out of curiosity, he was completely attracted by the product's publicity, renderings and introduction.
Especially after watching the two videos at the bottom of the product introduction page, Cook gradually became clear about this product.
Even when he saw the promotional webpage for this product, Cook seemed to recall what Steve Jobs left for him.
This is very similar to what Steve Jobs left behind, especially the product's appearance design, which is almost 70% similar to the appearance design sketches left by Steve Jobs.
At this time, Cook seemed to fully understand what Jobs said in the document left behind.
"Just move your fingers a little and you will have the ultimate product experience!"
Found it!
Cook seemed to have an enlightenment at this time.
Cook and Jobs are not the same type of people. Jobs himself took the technical route, while Cook took the commercial marketing route.
Although Cook is Jobs's successor, he still has some confusion and doubts about what Jobs left behind.
But after seeing this product produced in the distant country of China, Cook seems to have understood how to make the product left by Steve Jobs.
Screen! This is a very important part. A screen with a higher touch screen is the most critical hardware among the products left by Steve Jobs.
In addition to the screen, the control system also needs to be optimized based on touch screen operations.
Should we build a mobile phone system that specifically uses fingers to control the screen?
In an instant, Cook, as the head of the company, seemed to suddenly think of something. Usually at this time, he could almost understand the product design left by Jobs.
Even he can't wait to design a product based on what Jobs left behind that can make the company bloom again.
"Let's see if we can buy this product in China and send it to the headquarters to dismantle it. I want to know what's different about this product!"
Cook suddenly had an idea and ordered his assistant to find channels to buy this product back.
Perhaps through the use and dismantling of products, Cook can be given more inspiration.
Time has gradually arrived at the Lunar New Year, and the company has already given employees a holiday in the small year.
However, as an Internet company, it still has so many software systems that need to be operated and maintained, so the company still retains a small number of employees to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.
Of course, as the boss, Xu Cong is quite considerate of his employees. Red envelopes, subsidies and overtime pay are all included.
With enough overtime benefits, the remaining employees also volunteered to work, allowing the company to operate normally even during the Chinese New Year.
After arranging the company's New Year affairs, Xu Cong also returned home by means of transportation, preparing to spend a good New Year with his parents.
It's a pity that this year's Chinese New Year is fundamentally different from previous Chinese New Years.
Xu Cong’s current identity is completely different from his previous identity, which also means that the nature of the Chinese New Year he has experienced has fundamentally changed from what it once was.
In the past, although Xu Cong was admitted to a good university in the eyes of others, he was considered a relatively successful person as a small employee in an Internet company.
But success is success. In the eyes of most people, this is basically the life of ordinary people.
But now Xu Cong's identity has completely changed, especially after Wanxiang Technology Company has become the top player in the Internet industry, Xu Cong is no longer the Xu Cong he used to be.
Although Xu Cong has always maintained a low profile in the entire Internet industry, Xu Cong has even declined interviews from some media in order to prevent himself from being overly exposed in the public eye.
But even if Xu Cong is very low-key in some things, his identity as the chairman of Wanxiang Technology has always been a dazzling halo, so that no matter how low-key Xu Cong is, he cannot escape the reality of being watched by netizens.
So Xu Cong is no longer the Xu Cong in the small town, and even his considerate relatives have become different from before.
After Xu Cong returns home, relatives always visit him, including some whom Xu Cong doesn't know.
"This is your cousin..."
"This is your uncle's son, he should be considered your cousin..."
The visits from strange relatives made Xu Cong feel a little headache and helpless.
Even when some relatives visit, they always bring their families with them and a few children.
At this time, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and as an elder, Xu Cong can only use his own money to send some red envelopes to these children.
"I heard that as the boss of a big company, I only stuffed two thousand yuan into the red envelope. I'm really stingy!"
Xu Cong overheard this. Although the voice of the other party was very low, Xu Cong still heard it.
Facing what the other party said, Xu Cong's face became particularly ugly.
To be honest, if the other party hadn't brought his whole family to visit Xu Cong, he wouldn't have known that he had such a relative.
After all, these relatives have never had any contact with my family, let alone given Xu Cong red envelopes.
"Satoko, I heard that you are the big boss of a company. Can you arrange a job for your cousin, just a director or manager!"
"Auntie, it's not my opinion that this company has corresponding management, and I don't know how to arrange the position of this job, but I can arrange a spare position for my cousin."
"It's been said on the Internet that this company belongs to you. Aren't you willing to help your cousin? Back then, your cousin followed you and called me brother!"
"Auntie, the salary of this idle job is almost 6,000 yuan a month. The salary is not low, and the work is not particularly tiring!"
"6,000 yuan, Xiao Cong, isn't that a little too little! He is your cousin!"
"I'll think of another way, and we'll talk about it then..."
I spent the whole morning chatting with my aunt and cousin, but unexpectedly in the afternoon my uncle and cousin came to visit me.
"Xiao Cong, your eldest brother is getting married, but the woman's family needs an apartment. We are still a little short of it. Can you help me!"
"Uncle, how much do you need?"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Xu Cong looked at his uncle and cousin who came to the door in person. At this time, he looked at the particularly ugly expressions on his parents' faces, and naturally understood that he could not escape this matter.
If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking at night in brocade clothes.
Xu Cong really wanted to say something: Bah!
Three hundred thousand! With this, you can buy a very good house in your own city. The difference is not about how much money it is, but about asking Xu Cong to personally pay for them to buy a house.
As for the loan, Xu Cong felt that if he didn't mention it, the other party wouldn't pay it back. Even if he mentioned it in the future, the other party would probably embarrass him because of the relationship.
Three hundred thousand was quickly thrown away, and the uncle and cousin who got the money left without looking back.
Money is like being thrown into water, only to see waves of water splashing, and once you think about it, it will never be seen again.
As for Xu Cong's parents, they can be said to have watched helplessly in the past few days as their relatives continued to kidnap their son based on their relationship.
This feeling of being kidnapped by morality makes the whole family feel extremely uncomfortable this year.
"Son, you said last year that you were going to buy an apartment in Shanghai for us to move there. I think it's okay..."
Seeing that these relatives had been sent away, Xu Baili looked at his son, thought for a moment and finally spoke slowly.
In the second half of last year, Xu Cong had the idea of ​​buying a house in the Magic City area and brought his family there, but his own mother rejected it.
At that time, Xu Baili still agreed with her son's idea, but as a mother, Xu's mother could not bear to leave her friends and relatives in this city. In the end, the matter was temporarily shelved due to Xu's mother's tough attitude.
Now Xu Baili has brought up the old matter again, and Xu's mother, who was originally an opponent, did not refuse this time.
After all, during the Chinese New Year this year, some cousins ​​with whom I have no connection are using my connections to embarrass my son.
Chapter completed!
