Chapter 865

A mobile phone brand, if it doesn’t collapse too badly, like Nokia, it is unwilling to let go of its body, and unwilling to join the Android Alliance. It is estimated that it can continue to fight for many years, and even with more than ten years of feelings, it may be able to make a comeback. Although it is possible Lose the Iron Throne of the mobile empire, but there's nothing wrong with surviving!
The technical collapse is too strong, even if the technical advantages are no longer there, as long as there is no discriminatory drama, cutting leeks, and disgusting leeks, then this mobile phone brand can survive for many years without accidents!
Like those old-fashioned home appliances, are they really better than emerging brand technologies? It may not be obvious, but after more than ten years, they have already been "rooted in the hearts of the people". Whenever you mention a certain appliance, you will think of that brand. When you buy it, I can't help but buy that brand, as long as the price is not too bad.

It’s too early to talk about feelings about Alcatel mobile phones, but people like Brady, who grew up with Alcatel mobile phones and experienced major events in life, will naturally have special feelings for Alcatel mobile phones, like Brady. There is definitely more than one person like Laidi, they will form Alcatel's basic position in the mobile phone industry, even if they don't feel it themselves.

Not surprisingly, they will be supporters of Alcatel mobile phones for many years to come, as long as Alcatel mobile phones are not too bad!

Without waiting in line, Brady entered America Telecom's flagship e-retail store. Different cities have different styles. The total population of North Carolina does not exceed 1000 million, and it is a purely white state.

Just like this, half of the people live in the town. As the largest city in North Carolina, the population of Charlotte is only 70 million. On the contrary, it is the suburbs and surrounding farms and manors. 150 million people...

In this kind of place, there is basically no need to line up to buy things, unlike Brady’s flagship store of American Telecom in San Jose, where every time he goes, he has to wait in a long line of hundreds of people to buy.

Brady saw that he came here again after a year, and there were obviously many more electronic products than when he entered last time.

Alcatel mobile phone, Diamond MP3, Leica camera, Apple computer, Panda TV, etc., all appeared in the flagship store of American Telecom.

Brady looked up and saw that there were mostly young people in the store. The shopping guides of America Telecom's flagship store patiently introduced people who came in whether they wanted to buy or not.

The salary provided by the American Telecom flagship store is much higher than that of Wal-Mart, Best Buy and other stores, and there are commissions. The shopping guides who work in the American Telecom flagship store often hear rumors that every time they go to Alcatel When the new phone was released, there was a shopping guide from America Telecom's flagship store. With the commission of selling Alcatel mobile phones, he could pick up a brand new Beetle in full in one month!
Under the stimulation of Meidao, how could the shopping guide of America Telecom's flagship store have a bad attitude? After all, who would have any objection to Meidao? !

Seeing Brady in a suit and leather shoes heading straight to the mobile phone area, a shopping guide immediately stood up with the most "professional" smile on his face during training. After working as a shopping guide for a long time, he has experience and sharp eyesight Well, those who dress up like Brady have always been the masters who are not short of money, and they don't take too much time. Many of them leave by swiping their cards. For shopping guides, they get a big commission again...

"May I ask what model you need, we have the latest..."

"Alcatel P3!"

Before the shopping guide finished speaking, Brady said directly, and then picked up a prototype to look at it.

As a former electronic enthusiast, Brady has sharp eyesight. After getting the P3, he can obviously feel that the hand feel is much better than the P1, P2, and many plastic-cased mobile phones on the market.

This year's P3 press conference, Brady just glanced at it hastily. At that time, he was taking his girlfriend and family to get together, so he didn't have time at all, but it was not difficult to get started with P3.

"Currently, Alcatel P3 mobile phone mainly provides two models, 2G memory and 4G memory models, three color body, white, red and black models.

Of course, if you need it, we can provide customized shells! "

The shopping guide looked at Brady, and said with a smile on his face, Alcatel mobile phones now also provide shell customization services, and even as long as the US knife provides enough, it is not impossible to order a mobile phone case made of diamonds or gold. Don't mention any color, of course, the premise is that you have to pay more!
A general-purpose mobile phone case, if you change it, it will not exceed 9 US dollars. If you change it to a customized model, you can start with [-] US dollars. The shopping guide can take [-]% of the commission and sell a pair of customized mobile phones Shell, compared to the commission of selling a mobile phone, it is not too much.

Hearing this, Brady laughed. Of course, he knew the tricks. Someone complained about it in the hydroelectronics forum.

Providing customized mobile phone cases is also the first gimmick of Alcatel mobile phones. You can’t call Alcatel mobile phone pits. After all, if a couple wants to customize a mobile phone case with their names engraved, or someone Some people engrave the things they want to commemorate on the phone case. Alcatel mobile phone provides this service, which should be regarded as meeting the needs of users. How could it be a trap!
"I want these two!"

Brady pointed to a red and a white P3 mobile phone, and said to the shopping guide that besides Brady buying one for himself, the other red one was for his girlfriend.

His girlfriend, who was not interested in electronic products before, mentioned the camera function of the P3 phone several times in front of Brady. Although Brady couldn't figure out why a camera function could make his girlfriend so excited, but He still knew what to do.

In addition to buying two high-end P3 mobile phones, Brady also purchased spare batteries, mobile phone film, universal charger, two 4G memory cards, spare USB data cables, earphones and other components.

The basic configuration of an Alcatel mobile phone is a mobile phone, a data cable, a pair of earphones, and the rest of the components, if you want to buy them, you have to pay more...

Of course, it doesn't mean that if you don't buy spare parts or other parts, you won't be able to use them, but Brady's experience tells him that it's better to prepare them in advance.

Moreover, if you buy Alcatel mobile phones today, spare batteries, memory cards and other accessories, they are all bundled with the mobile phone at the "factory price". At least 30% higher than today!

So every time Alcatel releases a new mobile phone, it earns more than a share of mobile phone money, and all kinds of accessories are sold soaring, and the sales volume is skyrocketing!

Knowing that it is a routine, but there are countless users in Brady, who will basically take the initiative to use it. Users of mobile phones know that those accessories may not be used one day, or may be lost. Buying a spare can save a lot of money. Heaps of hassle.

After walking out of America Telecom's flagship store and getting into the car, Brady turned on his phone habitually, and saw the news pushed from the homepage of the Firefox browser on the phone.

"Located in the flagship store of American Telecom in Manhattan, New York, the global launch site for P3 mobile phones. There are already more than 3 people queuing up. The flagship store of American Telecom in Times Square is temporarily closed, and the admission of new users is suspended. The stock of P[-] in Times Square store is already in a hurry!"

Looking at the news about the Firefox browser, and looking down again, there are two P3 mobile phones placed in the passenger seat. Brady has become accustomed to this kind of news. When P1 and P2 were released, the supply was also in short supply. Brady felt that , if he is in San Jose now, he is probably still queuing up to grab the phone.

Elthian felt that there were enough machines in stock, and the scene after the P3 went on sale was beyond his expectations.

In less than two hours after the sale, all the P3 phones in the America Telecom Times Square flagship store were sold out. Ertian was a little confused when he received a call from there to ask for the goods. Last year, the Times Square store lasted a full In the morning, the warehouse was cleared, but today it only lasted for two hours.

New York is the city with the strongest consumption power in America and even in the world. American Telecom has set up more than three flagship stores in New York.

But today, none of the three America Telecom flagship stores could hold it. Within one morning, they began to call one after another, announcing that the inventory was in a hurry.

What excited Elthian, but also terrified, was not only the phone calls from New York, but the P3 phones in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, were not selling much slower than New York!

Elthian doesn't know why those Hollywood stars and models are suddenly interested in P3 phones. They don't need any money, and they start to show off their new P3 phones spontaneously. Under the demonstration effect of those Hollywood stars , P3 mobile phone sales in Los Angeles are skyrocketing.

Not only in America, this time unexpectedly, the old European side also showed a never-before-seen enthusiasm for P3, and even France, which has always disliked Alcatel mobile phones, exploded more than 3 in the morning Ministry of P[-] sales!
"Alcatel's P3 mobile phone was released on the first day, and it set off a boom all over the world. New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Paris, London, Tokyo, Yanjing and other places all saw a rush to buy P3 mobile phones!"

ICNC TV station is full of firepower for Alcatel's soft advertisements. From the collected pictures and videos, we can see that there are long queues in front of the stores selling P3 phones in many big cities, and it is no worse than P1 and P2. In the scene, among the crowd queuing up now, female users actually account for a considerable proportion!

Under normal circumstances, most of those who are interested in electronic products and are willing to line up to buy on the first day of release are male users, but this time, Alcatel P3 has attracted a large number of female users.

The global sales volume of Alcatel's P3 mobile phone has not yet been calculated, but Alcatel's mobile phone sales department has not stopped calling for a day, and dealers and agents all over the world call to ask for goods.

It seems that the P3 mobile phone has sold 500 million units, which is quite a lot. It can be distributed to markets all over the world, and it is basically inconspicuous. In addition, there are scalpers who make the P3 sell out and get the goods, which is visible to the naked eye. decline.

Alcatel's mobile phone concept stock also skyrocketed across the board from the opening to the close of the market, and it didn't fall once in the middle. The leeks who were still waiting for Alcatel's mobile phone concept stock were all staring at this time. There are many people who beat their breasts and regret endlessly!

As its own statistical agency, Nielsen Data Company took the lead in releasing the global first-day sales of P3 mobile phones, "On the first day of P3's release, the global sales exceeded 160 million units!"
