In three days, Hua Xia sold three million magic crystal mobile phones.
Compared with the initial distrust in Europe, consumers in Hua Xia had great expectations from the magic crystal mobile phones before they went on the market.
Because Monster Industries never let them down, the first generation magic crystal mobile phones were amazing enough.
Of course, amazing was amazing. Except for the Dream Display, the first generation magic crystal mobile phones did not completely crush Apple in technology.
Because Apple invested a lot of technical research in mobile phones. When the magic crystal mobile phones appeared, they gritted their teeth and piled up the technology that could compete with the magic crystal mobile phones on the new mobile phones. They relied on their own brand influence and huge sales channels to compete with the magic crystal mobile phones for market resources.
The first generation magic crystal mobile phones were advanced enough, but Apple also had a lot of mobile phone technology reserves. The technology was not taken out because the research and development process of these advanced technologies was really not easy. Any mature technology company knew the principle of long-term development.
Good technology should be taken out little by little. Every new version, there should be one or two new technologies as the foundation.
Now, the first generation magic crystal mobile phones had completely taken out their technology reserves. But the screen effect still did not catch up.
They relied on the influence of the brand and the interest of consumers in pursuing new products. They could barely stand with the magic crystal mobile phones.
Until the second generation magic crystal mobile phones came out of nowhere.
Hua Xia, once the largest overseas sales market of Apple, lost 80% of its sales in just one week.
Now, even if the magic crystal mobile phones were in short supply, no one was willing to spend money to buy the flagship version of Apple at the same price.
A mobile phone without a camera had five times the battery life of an ordinary mobile phone.
This could no longer be described as amazing, but crushing, completely crushing Apple's current version and the next version.
Now on Hua Xia's network, the top Internet search term was "How to buy a magic crystal mobile phone."
In the search content related to the magic crystal mobile phone, the most popular content was a tutorial on how to take perfect photos in the compound eye mode.
There was also a very interesting built-in game in the magic crystal mobile phone.
…
Liu Kaifeng was 26 years old this year. He was not a well-known electronics reviewer, nor was he a gold medal reporter of a big newspaper.
He was just a small self-employed man who did not even have a girlfriend.
Beneath his seemingly ordinary identity was a heart that was not ordinary at all. Liu Kaifeng's family lived in the Huqiu District of Wu City. Ten years ago, his family was still considered a rural area. Later on, with the expansion of the high-tech industrial development zone, Liu Kaifeng's family name changed to Wu City.
Liu Kaifeng's experience was no different from that of ordinary people. The only difference was that as soon as he graduated, he dared to use the 500,000 yuan that his family had saved for him to invest in his own business.
Unlike other young people who blindly invested, Liu Kaifeng had worked in factories for several years during the summer holidays. Furthermore, Aikeyou Toy Factory was very close to the factory. So, Liu Kaifeng targeted a very interesting toy overseas. He redesigned the interior structure and appearance of the toy himself, bypassing the patent of the toy. Then, he bought plastic injection molding equipment and turned the toy into a factory.
This toy was called the Fly Gun.
It was invented and patented by the American company Bugasalt. It was a small toy that used the principle of air compression and salt as bullets to shoot flies.
Although there was a gun in its name, and the loading process was very similar to that of a shotgun, one needed to pull the front guard. However, with good air pressure, the salt particles that were shot out could only kill flies. When used to hit people, it would not even break their skin.
It looked like a water gun. In Hua Xia, it was not illegal and could be bought and sold freely on the internet.
The Fly Gun was selling well in the US. Liu Kaifeng majored in mechanical design in university and worked at the Aikeyou Toy Factory, which specialized in exporting toys. So, Liu Kaifeng used this very simple toy as the first product of his business.
The original Fly Gun was bright yellow, but Liu Kaifeng changed it to light grey. He also increased the air pressure to make the salt particles that were shot out more impactful.
The loading method was also improved. Liu Kaifeng cleverly used a piece of metal to let his Fly Gun make a very clear "Kacha" sound when the gun was loaded. It sounded very cool.
What was left was the price. The original Fly Gun's price was close to 200 yuan in China.
Liu Kaifeng hired two small workers to process this model. The cost was only 30 yuan and the price was 78 yuan.
Now, Liu Kaifeng's Fly Gun had developed to the second generation and was much more reliable than the first generation. In the summer, Liu Kaifeng could sell hundreds of Fly Guns online in a month.
Of course, this amount of money was not enough. The factories near Liu Kaifeng's house were mainly toy factories. 70% of the products from these toy factories were exported to the world. So, Liu Kaifeng's Fly Gun was also exported to South America and Latin America.
Now, Liu Kaifeng could make an average of 20,000 yuan a month.
20,000 yuan a month might seem like a lot, but Liu Kaifeng had invested 500,000 yuan in it. With 500,000 yuan, even if he did not do anything, he could still make a net profit of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year. Now that 500,000 yuan had become machinery and equipment, this thing would depreciate with time. Liu Kaifeng's business was not considered to be making a loss, but it was still a long way from success.
The Fly Gun was very seasonal. Business was good in the summer, but sometimes in the fall and winter, one could not be sold in a week.
So, Liu Kaifeng had been thinking all day to come up with another product to make up for the off-season in the fall and winter. For the past few days, Liu Kaifeng had been busy with this idea. For this, he had almost gone to all the toy factories in the development zone. When he met the factory leaders, he put himself in a very humble position and tried to build a good relationship with them.
Even if he could not develop a new product, he could use the idle equipment in the fall and winter to take on some plastic shell processing jobs.
Success could not be separated from hard work. Liu Kaifeng would never complain that he did not have a rich father, or that this society was too unfair. Why could he not make a name for himself?
He was already luckier than most people with 500,000 yuan as a start-up capital. As long as he put in 100% effort, he believed that he would succeed.
Late at night, Liu Kaifeng, who had been running around outside all day, had just reached home. Before he could eat a bag of instant noodles, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Hello …" Liu Kaifeng looked at the unfamiliar number and tried to smile.
"Are you kidding me? I bought this thing yesterday. Why haven't you sent it out yet? How can you make a chicken feather with this kind of business? "No one knew who was on the other side of the phone, but it was a complaint in broken Mandarin.
"Ah?" Liu Kaifeng was confused. "What did you buy?"
"Of course it's a Fly Gun!"
Liu Kaifeng slapped his head and suddenly remembered his Taobao shop.
It was early winter, and the Fly Gun in the shop had not been sold for a week. He was too lazy to pay attention to it. Plus, he had been running around all day for the past few days.
"I'm sorry, I'll definitely send it out tomorrow. Also, I'll give you two bottles of salt."
"If you don't send it out tomorrow, I'll report you."
After hanging up, Liu Kaifeng quickly turned on his computer and prepared to deal with this hard-won order. But just as he turned on the computer, Liu Kaifeng was stunned.
