Zhou: Online sales of mobile phones must have price impact

Before the Internet conference began today, Zhou, in an interview with Tencent Technology, said 360 would never be able to do mobile hardware, but must be involved in Internet handsets.

Zhou said that online sales of mobile phones is largely dependent on sales staff to impress customers, but in the internet sales of mobile phones, the price is the most to impress customers. "So the price must have the impact, the competitiveness of the light is not yet." ”

Zhou believes that to persuade traditional mobile phone companies to sell mobile phones on the internet, the most difficult point is that the traditional mobile phone companies have existing offline sales channels, if the online price is too low, it is bound to affect offline sales. And if specifically for the Internet sales to create a cost-effective mobile phone, will rival machine manufacturers their own other mobile phones have impact.

Zhou expressed regret over the recent "breakup" with Huawei. Huawei has its own offline channels and carrier channels, and currently wants to open up Internet channels. But in this mobile phone launch, the price is very powerful, but because the shipment is slightly late, in the market when the mobile phone prices have dropped, so 360 hope Huawei can also reduce prices. But because of the high cost of this mobile phone, so did not talk about.

However, Zhou also said it would continue to talk to Huawei about other mobile phone cooperation.

When it comes to 360 doing a search, Zhou says it's a user experience. Because the 360 past default search engine is Google (Weibo), and Google's services in China is not stable. And 360 have the gene to do the search, so start doing the search. As for the collaboration with Google, Zhou said it did not stop, and users can also set Google as the default search engine for 360 browsers.

Asked if he would be satisfied with the current market share of 360 searches, Zhou 祎 did not have a positive answer, he believes that Google's traffic in China is mostly from the 360 browser, so put this part of the flow of traffic to 360 of their own search, can also give 360 search for a certain market share.
