Chapter 1603 An Exorbitantly Priced Phone Case

At the entrance of Otto Technologies, the former acting director, Old Song, had returned to Shenhua Group. Chang You and Jiang Yuan were there to welcome President Pei again.

Both of them had participated in the grassroots program, benefiting greatly. Now, back in charge of Otto Technologies, they both had new insights.

After taking over the phone and game console projects from Old Song, they had simply followed the established procedures, completing the remaining work without making any changes to the original design plans.

After all, they hadn't been in charge for very long, and it was too late to make changes now.

"President Pei, please come inside. We have already prepared the samples."

Chang You and Jiang Yuan welcomed Pei Qian into the reception room of Otto Technologies.

Pei Qian sat down on the sofa and casually asked, "Have you two seen the new products? What do you think?"

Chang You immediately said excitedly, "They're fantastic! These two new products are simply works of genius!"

"President Pei, your imagination is like a heavenly steed soaring through the skies, boundless and unrestrained, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, unstoppable."

Jiang Yuan also smiled and echoed, "That's right, these two products are both amazing."

"For the phone project, because we used Shenhua's existing foldable screen solution, there wasn't much room for improvement."

"President Pei, you aptly focused on the advantageous projects of Tengda Group, arranging custom appearances and systems for the phone, and continuing the traditional benefits of the Otto phone project, which has immediately taken us a step further on the high-end path, and has clearly distinguished us from Shenhua's original phone."

"If the phone project was a minor modification on Shenhua Group's plan, then the console project is a product of unrestrained imagination, finding user pain points that had been overlooked and launching an epoch-making game console product."

"I think both of these products will be a great success!"

Chang You sighed, "Yes, so it doesn't really matter whether we two are at Otto Technologies or not, President Pei, you are the source of inspiration for Otto Technologies."

This impassioned speech made Pei Qian's hand, holding the teacup, tremble slightly, and he instantly lost confidence.

He originally thought that the phone project and the game console project were projects with a high probability of failure. But after listening to Chang You and Jiang Yuan, it seemed like they were going to be a big hit again.

Pei Qian looked at the two people with smiling faces and suddenly thought, what these two said may not be true.

Maybe they were just flattering him?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian calmed down a little and looked at the prototypes of the two products.

First was the foldable screen phone project, the Otto X1 phone.

This phone could be summarized in one sentence: technology is mainly about changing the shell.

This foldable screen phone used Shenhua's foldable screen phone design completely, consistent from the inside out.

After all, a mobile phone is a very precise object, and any small changes may affect the overall design of the mobile phone, requiring a new production line. This was obviously too extravagant for the two companies.

Foldable screen phones were a novelty, and whether it was the flexible screen, the folding hinge, or the various customized components inside, the production capacity was relatively limited.

It was already difficult to guarantee production capacity, and if you added all the fancy stuff, the production capacity would not be able to keep up, and then you would have to wait for the entire network to be out of stock.

Therefore, Tengda Group could only make some distinctions in the details of this phone.

Pei Qian picked up the custom phone case next to him and examined it carefully.

After getting it in his hand, he felt that the phone case felt very good, and the workmanship was exquisite. After all, it cost a lot of money to customize it, and the materials were piled up to 500 yuan, which definitely made a clear distinction from other phone cases on the market.

The overall color style of the phone case was cyberpunk gray-black, which looked very deep, and some bright yellow irregular broken lines were added around it as embellishments.

The upper and lower sections of the phone case adopted a hollow design, mainly to reduce the weight of the phone case.

Because the weight of the foldable screen phone itself was very heavy, after all, it was equivalent to two phones combined, even without a case, the weight would reach more than 280 grams, exceeding half a catty. If the phone case was particularly thick and heavy, then it should be unbearable for most people.

The central part was made of Ag snowflake glass, which was also black and gray, but it was obvious that the material was different from the frame. It felt non-slip to the touch, but it also felt very delicate, and it was dotted with sporadic bright spots, like a sky full of stars.

The surrounding area was an extended reinforced frame, which was more comfortable to grip and had an antibacterial coating. The surface had a skin-friendly feel, the frame was made of silicone material, which was moderately soft and hard, and the materials were more solid than other similar products, and the precision of the openings was seamless, completely crushing similar products.

A graphite heat-conducting layer was also used in the lining of the phone case, which could dissipate the heat of the phone faster.

Due to the hollow design on both sides, players could still hold it with both hands without feeling hot.

In addition, there were two small folding buckles in the upper right corner and lower left corner of the back of the phone after folding. When unfolded, they could not only be used as support, but also just allow two middle fingers to be inserted to jam, preventing slippage when playing games in landscape mode, and also making it easier to perform multi-finger operations.

There was also a small stand in the middle, which could be used to support the phone on the table after it was unfolded.

Compared with the two folding buckles, the length of the stand was longer. The state after supporting the phone was more suitable for watching movies, while after retracting the stand, using the folding buckles to support the phone on the table was more suitable for touch screen operation. Or, when playing mobile games, you could insert your middle finger into the buckle for support.

In addition to this, there were some details, such as the phone case fitting very well with the phone, and the reserved holes were also preserved. While ensuring the structural strength of the phone case, the weight of the phone case was reduced as much as possible.

As a foldable screen phone, the phone case also adopted a split design, but it could be sold separately.

The front half of the phone case was just a narrow frame, which protected the left half of the folding screen very well. But unlike other phone cases, it was an integrated shell and film design, that is, the tempered film was connected to the phone case, so that the structural strength of the left half of the phone case could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

If you put on both parts of the phone case, then the entire phone immediately becomes a cyberpunk-customized phone.

Or you could buy the two parts separately and use them with other phone cases you like.

For example, some people don't like to use a phone case to protect the screen on the left side, so it is enough to buy only half of the phone case.

Opening the phone, the boot screen also became cyberpunk-style, a long string of code poured down like a hacker invasion, and then entered the otto os system screen.

The entire system had been rewritten, and the appearance had changed greatly. With the phone case, it could be said that there were obvious changes inside and out.

In addition, the packaging of this phone, including various accessories, had also been changed accordingly.

Pei Qian played with it for a while and couldn't help but sigh that this phone was indeed full of technology.

Especially after the foldable screen was unfolded, the impact of the entire large screen and the precise operation of the hinge when the phone was folded, and the crisp and pleasant 'pop' sound when the screen closed, all made people marvel at the precision of high-end digital technology.

Seeing that President Pei's expression was as usual and he did not show obvious joy, Chang You said nervously, "President Pei, do you have any instructions?"

Pei Qian thought for a while, but he really had no instructions on the product side. Obviously, Old Song and the others made it strictly according to his requirements.

But Pei Qian still thought about it seriously for a while and asked, "The pricing of the phone case and the phone are all set according to my standards at the time, right?"

Chang You nodded quickly and said, "Yes, President Pei. The phone case is 498 yuan, because we used very expensive Ag snowflake glass, and the two buckles and the stand are also made of special metal materials."

"However, the phone case supports separate sales. If you only buy the left half, it is very cheap, only 98 yuan, and the right half is very expensive, 400 yuan."

"The phone comes with this phone case by default. Considering the cost price of the phone case and our benefits, it should be about 4,500 yuan more expensive than Shenhua's phone, so the ordinary version and the high-end version should be sold for 22,499 and 23,499 respectively."

Otto phones are bundled with various benefits of Tengda Group, so the cost price of the benefits is about 4,000 yuan. If it is an old user of Otto phones, then they can save 4,000 yuan. In this way, it is actually only 500 yuan more expensive than Shenhua's foldable screen version, mainly because of that customized phone case.

Pei Qian was thinking that this phone case was bundled with the phone and sold, and it supported separate purchase. Players should have no reason to buy their own version, right?

Even if you want to buy a foldable screen phone, you can buy the one from Shenhua Group first, and then buy a phone case from Otto Technology. In the end, the effect is the same.

Pei Qian felt that this phone should be relatively stable.

He thought for a while and said, "There are no other special requirements, just continue the previous strategy at the press conference and start by talking about the pricing."

"In addition, you must tell everyone the truth, this is exactly the same thing as Shenhua's phone, there is no innovation or improvement at all."

A phone that costs as much as more than 20,000 yuan, this will definitely refresh everyone's limit on the price of phones again.

It is estimated that this price will immediately discourage most consumers.

Moreover, Shenhua Group's foldable screen phone will hold a press conference first, this weekend. Otto Technology will have to wait until next week.

By that time, everyone's attention will be attracted by Shenhua's foldable screen, and no one should buy Otto Technology's phone, right?

Chang You nodded: "Okay, President Pei, we will do as you say."
