Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1602: Expensive Cell Phone Case

At the entrance of Otto Technologies, Old Song, the original person-in-charge, had returned to Shenhua Corporation. Chang You and Jiang Yuan were there to welcome Boss Pei.

Both of them had participated in the low-level activities and benefited a lot in the activities. At that moment, they took over as the person-in-charge of Otto Technologies and obtained some new inspiration.

After these two people took the cell phone and game console project from Old Song, they only pushed forward their work step by step and completed the follow-up work. They did not make any changes to the original design plan.

After all, they had only taken over for a short period of time. It was too late to change it now.

“Boss Pei, please come in. We’ve already prepared the sample.”

Chang You and Jiang Yuan welcomed Pei Qian to Otto Technologies’ guest room.

Pei Qian sat down on the sofa and asked casually, “Have you seen the new product? How do you feel?”

Chang You immediately said excitedly, “That’s awesome! These two new products are simply geniuses!”

“Boss Pei, your imagination is boundlessly bold and imaginative. At the same time, it’s unstoppable.

Jiang Yuan smiled and chimed in. “That’s right. These two products are too good.”

“In the cell phone project, there are not many things that can be improved because we used Shenhua’s ready-made foldable screen plan.”

“Boss Pei, you have appropriately worked on Tengda Corporation’s advantageous project, arranged a custom-made appearance, system for the cell phone, and continued the traditional benefits of Otto’s cell phone project. It has suddenly made us one step further in the high-end path. What’s more, you have made a clear distinction with Shenhua’s original cell phone.”

“If the cell phone project is a minor repair on Shenhua Corporation’s plan, then the main computer project relied on its bold and imaginative imagination to find a point that was ignored by users again and launched an epochal game main computer product.”

“I think both products would be very successful!”

Chang You sighed. “That’s right. That’s why it’s not important to say that the two of us are not in Otto Technologies. Boss Pei, you are the source of inspiration for Otto Technologies.”

Their impassioned words made Pei Qian’s hand, which was holding his teacup, tremble slightly. At once, he lost his confidence.

He had thought that cell phone projects and game system projects had a high chance of failure. However, after hearing Chang You and Jiang Yuan’s words, it seemed like they were going to become popular again.

Pei Qian sized up the two smiling people and suddenly realized that they might not be speaking the truth.

Or perhaps they were just bootlicking?

At that thought, Pei Qian calmed himself down and looked at the prototypes of the two products.

First was the cell phone project with the foldable screen, which was Otto X1.

This cell phone could be summarized in one sentence: Technology was mainly about changing the shell.

This foldable cell phone used the design plan for Shenhua’s foldable cell phone. It was completely identical from the inside out.

After all, a cell phone was a very precise item. Any small change might affect the overall design of the cell phone. A new production line had to be drawn. This was obviously too extravagant for the two companies.

After all, a foldable screen cell phone was a new thing. Its production capacity was relatively limited, be it a soft screen, foldable chains, or various custom-made components inside.

Originally, production capacity was already very difficult to guarantee. If he were to do those fancy things, production capacity would not be able to keep up. At that time, he would be waiting for the entire internet to run out.

Therefore, Tengda Corporation could only make some distinction in the details of this cell phone.

Pei Qian picked up the custom-made cell phone shell next to him and took a closer look.

Once he held it in his hand, he felt that the hand sensitivity of this cell phone shell was not bad. The workmanship was meticulous. After all, they had spent a lot of money to customize it. The materials had been piled up to 500 yuan. It must be obviously different from other cell phone shells in the market.

The overall style of the cell phone shell was the grayish black of Cyberpunk. It looked very deep. Some bright yellow irregular lines were added as embellishments.

The top and bottom sections of the cell phone shell had been cut open, mainly to reduce the weight of the cell phone shell.

That was because the weight of the foldable phone itself was very heavy. After all, it was equivalent to two cell phones combined. Even if there was no shell, the weight would still be above 280 grams, exceeding half a kilogram. If the cell phone shell was especially thick, most people would probably be overwhelmed.

The middle part was made of AG snowflake glass. It was also black and gray, but it was obvious that the material was different from the frame. It felt slippery, but it would feel very exquisite. There were sporadic bright spots on it, like stars in the sky.

It was surrounded by an extended and strengthened frame. The grip was more comfortable, and there was an anti-bacterial coating. The surface had a skin-like feel and the rim was made of silicone. It was soft and moderate in hardness. The material was more solid than other similar products. What’s more, the precision of the holes was seamless, completely crushing similar products.

There was also a graphite heating layer on the inner lining of the cell phone shell to dissipate the heat of the cell phone faster.

As there were hollow designs on both sides, players could still hold it with both hands without feeling hot.

In addition, there were two small folding card buttons in the upper right and lower left corner of the back of the cell phone. Once they were unfolded, not only could they be used as support, but they could also stick their middle fingers in and stop them from sliding off when playing games on the horizontal screen. They could also operate more conveniently.

There was a small frame in the middle. Once the cell phone was unfolded, it could be used to support the small frame on the table.

The length of the scaffold was longer than the two folding card buttons. The state after the cell phone was more suitable for viewing. After putting the scaffold away, using the foldable card to support the cell phone on the table would be more suitable for touch-screen operations. Or he could stretch his middle finger into the card button as support when playing mobile games.

Apart from that, there were also some details. For example, the cell phone’s casing and cell phone were very compatible. The holes that should be retained were also retained. The weight of the cell phone’s casing was reduced as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the strength of the cell phone’s casing.

As a foldable cell phone, the cell phone shell was also designed in a separate way. However, it could be opened and sold.

The first half of the cell phone shell was just a narrow frame that protected the left half of the foldable screen very well. However, unlike other cell phone shells, it was the design of the shell. In other words, the tempered film was connected to the cell phone shell. That could maximize the strength of the structure of the left half of the cell phone shell.

If both parts of the cell phone were put on, the entire cell phone would immediately become a custom-made Cyberpunk cell phone.

Or he could buy two parts and use them together with other cell phone cases that he liked.

For example, some people did not like to use the cell phone shell on the left half of the screen. Thus, they only needed to buy half of the cell phone shell.

He switched on his cell phone, and the image on the screen changed to the Cyberpunk style. A long chain of codes poured down like a hack, and then entered Otto OS’s system.

The entire system had been rewritten. The appearance had changed greatly. Coupled with the cell phone shell, it could be said that there were obvious changes inside and outside.

Apart from that, there were also corresponding changes to the packaging of this cell phone, including the various parts.

Pei Qian played with it for a while and could not help but feel emotional. This cell phone indeed had a sense of technology.

Especially after the foldable screen was unfolded, the impact of the entire big screen, as well as the precise operation of the cell phone when it was folded, the crisp “bang” sound of the screen closing made people sigh with the brilliance of high-end digital technology.

Chang You saw that Boss Pei’s expression was as usual and did not show any obvious joy. He said apprehensively, “Boss Pei, do you have any instructions?”

Pei Qian thought about it. He really did not have any instructions in terms of products. Obviously, Old Song and the others had strictly followed his instructions.

However, Pei Qian still thought seriously for a while and asked, “The price of the cell phone and casing was set according to my standards back then, right?”

Chang You quickly nodded. “That’s right, Boss Pei. The cell phone’s casing is 498 yuan because we used very expensive AG snowflake glass. What’s more, the two buttons and scaffolding are made of special metal.”

“However, the cell phone shell supports selling separately. It would be very cheap if you only buy the left half at 98 yuan. The right half is very expensive. at 400 yuan.”

“This cell phone case is included by default. Considering the cost price of the cell phone case and our benefits, it should be about 4,500 yuan more expensive than Shenhua’s cell phone. Therefore, ordinary and high-end versions should be sold at 22,499 yuan and 23,499 yuan respectively.”

Otto cell phones had various benefits from Tengda Corporation, so the cost price of the benefits was about 4,000 yuan. If they already had old users of Otto cell phones, they could save the 4,000 yuan. That meant that it was only 500 yuan more expensive than Shenhua’s foldable screen version. The main reason was the custom-made cell phone shell.

Pei Qian thought about how this cell phone shell was bundled together with the cell phone. What’s more, it was supported to be bought separately. Players should have no reason to buy their own version, right?

Even if he wanted to buy a foldable cell phone, he could first buy the one from Shenhua Corporation and then buy a cell phone shell from Otto Technologies. The final effect would be the same.

Pei Qian felt that this cell phone should be relatively stable.

He thought for a moment and said, “There are no special requirements. We just have to continue the previous strategy at the news conference and set the price from the beginning.”

“Other than that, I have to tell everyone the truth. This is exactly the same as Shenhua’s cell phone. There is no innovation or improvement.”

A cell phone that cost more than 20,000 yuan had definitely refreshed everyone’s understanding of the cell phone’s price.

This price would probably dissuade most consumers immediately.

What’s more, Shenhua Corporation’s foldable screen cell phone would hold a news conference first. It would be held this weekend. Otto Technologies would have to wait until next week.

At that time, everyone would be focused on Shenhua’s foldable screen. No one would buy Otto Technologies’ cell phone, right?

Chang You nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. We’ll do as you say.”
