Chapter 335: Ma Wei's Google phone is on fire
Another senior official sitting at the table was very repulsive of Mawei Group's behavior involving the mobile phone industry. He also disagreed with the experience store he created. He thought it was good and just sell mobile phones normally. What kind of experience is to try it out? This is not cosmetics.
Chairman Mark sat quietly at the table and listened to his subordinates expressing their opinions freely. Almost most senior officials present did not take Google phone seriously. They thought that he had created so many gimmicks as soon as he entered the industry, which was really a bit sensational, and deliberately wanted to attract attention...
Those who walk in the same country are enemies, and this sentence is truth.
After listening to the comments from the company's senior executives, Chairman Mark said with his hands crossed his fingers, "According to the opinions of most people, there will be no changes in the launch time. As for whether Google's smartphones can become our Nokia 7650 competitor. Let the market prove it."
Beware of peers and paying attention to peers is a homework that a company must do. However, because Mawei Group has just entered the mobile phone industry not long ago. Before he even learned to walk, he began to want to use running. This made the two giant companies feel that perhaps they were thinking too much... they value this potential competitor too much.
...
Two weeks later, Mavie Group's 796 Google mobile experience stores opened globally. At the same time, Nokia's Symbian system smartphone 7650 was also launched globally. You can buy it directly in major mobile phone stores.
At 9:30 am New York time, the Google Mobile Experience Center located near Times Square opened in the mall on time.
Since it was working day, there were people coming and going on the streets outside the mall and the traffic was very high. However, there were not many customers who came to visit the mall. So let alone the Google Experience Center.
"Leader, I just went to see the Google Experience Store and found that there were almost very few customers inside. They were all in uniforms and working staff." At around 10 a.m., Nokia employees and Motorola sent people to see the Google Experience Store.
(Since the two companies have different locations, the employees sent are specially driven to experience it)
However, the scene I saw was empty. No guests were willing to go in and experience it because it was a new thing. And the time was not right.
"Does Google's mobile phone look like? It's really a whole screen without even dialing buttons?" Nokia, a senior executive of Motorola, asked his employees curiously, wanting to know what the mobile phone designed by Google is...
"It seems yes. Because it's all staff inside, I took a look outside the store. Their mobile phones have three colors: black, white, and gray... Oh, by the way! Their mobile phones are very expensive and they actually have to sell for $550 each!"
The company employees who went to inquire reported to their bosses with some desire to speak.
"One $550 per unit? Is this going to rob? Or are consumers fools?" Executives of the two companies sneered at Google's high price. They are also mobile phones, Motorola has only sold for around $200. As for Nokia's newly launched 7650, it is around $280. They dare not sell it like Google...
In fact, what the executives of the two companies don’t know is that the employees they sent have all entered the experience store and used the smartphone from Google.
Then what to say... From their professional perspective of the mobile phone industry, this generation of Google's smartphone is probably going to be popular!
The novel and convenient operation, the ultra-high performance multi-functional development, was like a handheld computer. If it weren't for the leaders watching, they would have wanted to experience it in the store for dozens of minutes.
The reason why they dare not say it clearly is because of their position, standing on the side of Motorola and Nokia. They cannot be so stupid as to help their competitors. So they chose some other facts to serve their leaders.
For example, at this time, there were really not many customers in the Google Experience Store. But... after they tried their phones, they all had the urge to buy Google phones and throw away Nokia and Motorola. Not to mention some other consumers, what will be the choice then?
"Ahem! Yes, 550 US dollars is really too expensive!" The employee said in accordance with the leader's words. In fact, what he really wanted to say was that if the phone could be cheaper, it would be great. The price was reduced to about 400 US dollars, he would definitely spend money to buy it!
In this way, it was noon in a blink of an eye. Motorola and Nokia executives who were in charge of inquiries came to the president's office to report, saying, "Chairman, I have sent someone to inquire clearly. There are no customers in Google's experience store. Moreover, their mobile phones are very expensive, and they actually cost $550 each! This is not made of gold, it is so expensive! Do you think they are grabbing money?"
The executives of the two companies said bad things about Google's mobile phones to their bosses. However, they did not see that at this time, the expression on their boss's face was a little gloomy and even bored!
"Okay, stop talking, what you said happened two hours ago! Now, the experience store in Times Square in New York is lined up to the streets!" Motorola CEO Davis and Nokia Chairman Mark received photos and videos from reporters' friends.
Not to mention how popular that scene was. I don’t know, I thought it was giving away mobile phones, not selling them. They all looked like they were scrambling! Some middle-class customers even bought several movies in one go, saying that they planned to give them to friends. After all, they had never seen such high-performance and shocking mobile phones...
After listening to the words of the boss of his company, Nokia and Motorola two executives were stunned in the office on the spot, and their whole expressions were confused...
"A mobile phone worth $550... can be sold so popular without a button dialing. What's going on?" Since everyone doesn't have Google phones in their hands, it's completely unclear where it's popular.
But looking at the market, with such a hot reaction, even people who don’t use mobile phones should know the name of Google phones.
