Chapter 420 Mr. Lei’s new phone

"You guys are so tired. You don't even give up your face just for some money. You are obviously my dad, but you have to call me dad."

"You can't even ask for money just because of face, right?"

"..."

In Gao Yuan's comment area, most netizens were making jokes.

I have to say that some of these netizens are really showing off, and even Gao Yuan found the jokes they made up funny.

"These netizens are all really idle."

Li Mengqing said dumbfounded.

"It's good to have fun in the midst of hardship. We work hard enough on a daily basis. In our free time, we can watch short videos and have some fun." Gao Yuan said with a pursed smile.

Most people's lives are like this. They work all day during the day and watch short videos to help them sleep before going to bed at night.

The only thing you need to worry about is that once you watch too many short videos and watch them very late, you will be late for work the next day.

The era of short videos has also enriched people’s entertainment.

However, the biggest problem with these short videos is that they are information cocoons. To put it simply, the videos you see are most likely what the background wants you to see.

Girls who like boxing will most likely see videos similar to this one, complaining about the misfortunes of their original families and how arrogant men are.

People who like to travel will basically watch videos of traveling to various places.

If you like to watch narrations of movies and TV series, nine of the ten videos you watch are movie narrations.

There are also people who like to watch beautiful women. Every time they watch videos, they are basically dancing with bare legs or black stockings. Open the short video homepage of these people, scroll down to whichever column you like, and basically give likes to the beauties.

"I don't think short videos are very good. A lot of the content in them advocates consumption in advance, advocating that youth has no price and travel is now." Li Mengqing said, "Who doesn't want to travel, but traveling costs money. ! Many people watch this kind of video too much and want to go out to play even if they want to get a loan."

Li Mengqing mentioned that there are many such situations, and they are mostly concentrated among young people.

But this is people's way of life, and it's hard to comment too much on Gao Yuan.

"Everyone has their own living habits, we just need to take care of ourselves." Gao Yuan thought.

It’s not easy for Yuanfang Group to reach this point. It’s much better than some companies that just don’t do their business and just make online loans all day long.

Under the banner of Internet finance, it looks high-end, but in fact, 70 to 80 percent of its annual main business income comes from online lending profits.

Online loans allow consumption in advance, overdrafting the future of young people.

But there is no need for Gao Yuan to worry about this kind of thing, he can just do his duty.

…

In early April, Gao Yuan's office welcomed a very important guest - Rebus.

The last time I saw Rebus was several months ago. At that time, Gao Yuan got half of the shares of Dami Mobile from Rebus, and at the same time Gao Yuan gave up part of the mobile phone technology.

"Mr. Gao!"

After walking into Gao Yuan's office, Rebus walked up to Gao Yuan in three steps and took the first step to hold Gao Yuan's hand. "Mr. Gao, thanks to you, Xiaomi mobile phone has been developed."

Rebus said excitedly, "The prototype was produced some time ago, but you were too busy at the time, so the prototype was not delivered to you in time."

"Now that our company's prototype has passed the test, we have started to produce the first batch of mobile phones. We are expected to hold a new phone launch conference on the 10th of this month. This mobile phone is the first mobile phone officially produced by Rice Phone, and it will be handed over to you for your collection. "

It must be said that Rebus moved very quickly.

While Yuanfang Mobile and π mobile phones were still in prototype testing, they had already begun formal production.

"Yes, you are already ahead of the distant mobile phone." Gao Yuan nodded slightly and praised.

"Dami mobile phones have a complete industrial chain and production lines, so they are very fast." Rebus is not proud of this matter.

The first rice phone was released in 2011, which was already thirteen or four years ago.

Rebus is already considered an old man in the mobile phone industry.

However, Yuanfang mobile phones have just started, so naturally they cannot match the speed of rice phones.

"Currently, rice mobile phone production is at full capacity, with a daily production volume of 20,000 units." Rebus said, "As of the press conference on the 10th of this month, we expect to produce 200,000 mobile phones for use in Initial launch on the market.”

"In the later stage, you may have to wait for a while to buy a mobile phone because there is no ready stock."

This approach is a consistent method of many mobile phone manufacturers. To put it simply, it is hunger marketing.

For example, the Huawei mobile phone sold for about 7,000 yuan when the new model came out, but it was not in stock on the market, so you had to pay an additional 300 to 400 yuan to buy it.

The more you need to increase the price, the more people will buy it.

The reason is also very simple. The mobile phone purchased at a higher price can be installed with XIII.

You started using this phone before others had it, which will surely arouse the curiosity of many people.

Rice Mobile also plans to do the same, using hunger marketing to promote mobile phone sales.

"Currently, we name the new phone from Rice, the Rice Hot series. The phone you are using is the Hot 1 series, which is divided into three versions, basic model, standard model and supreme version. In simple terms, it is Low, medium and high configurations are priced from 2,999 to 4,299 and 7,599.”

"In addition, I also plan to release a thousand units of the Founder's Edition, with each phone priced at 2,999 yuan."

"In the future, the mobile phones we produce will be mainly based on the Hot Series, and will be updated and iterated on this basis."

When talking about this, Lei Jun was very excited and talked endlessly.

When the prototype was produced, Lei Jun used it as soon as possible. When talking about the feel of using it, Lei Jun was amazed.

Although the technologies Gao Yuan gave him were relatively backward, they were much better than the system technology of their own rice mobile phone.

This mobile phone is enough to subvert the entire mobile phone industry.

If the Yuanfang mobile phone comes out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Not bad! The rice mobile phone will take the low-end route." Gao Yuan said, "Yuanfang mobile phone takes the high-end route, and the two do not conflict with each other. The Yuanfang mobile phone will be released soon. Before it comes out, it is just right to use the rice hot series to test the water."

This is Gao Yuan's real idea.

The rice mobile phone will first attract a wave of waves and test the reactions of most netizens.

When they think this mobile phone is good, they will announce it to the outside world. The new mobile phone that Yuanfang mobile phone is about to launch will be one version ahead of the rice mobile phone in technology.

Therefore, the price of Yuanfang mobile phone must be more expensive.

As for how much it will sell, Gao Yuan has not yet decided, anyway, the price will definitely be more than 5,000 yuan.

"Mr. Gao, I have a hunch that this mobile phone will definitely sell like hot cakes."

Lei Jun said.

Compared with the upcoming hot series mobile phone, he thinks that the mobile phones released before are all garbage.

"How many units do you think will be sold?" Gao Yuan asked.

"No less than 20 million units for a single series!" Lei Jun gave a rough estimate.

The annual shipment of all series of Xiaomi mobile phones is about 43 million units.

It is already a terrifying number that a single series can sell 20 million units.

Last year, the total shipment of mobile phones in China was 270 million units, and 20 million units accounted for one tenth of the number.

"Not enough, at least 50 million units!"

Gao Yuan said his goal.

According to the average price of 2,000 yuan per mobile phone, it is almost 100 billion in sales.

As for Yuanfang mobile phone, Gao Yuan set a goal of 70 million units.

According to the calculation that each mobile phone is not less than 5,000 yuan, the worst sales volume is 350 billion.

If the unit price is increased by 1,000 yuan, it will be about 420 billion.

"Mr. Gao, this goal is a bit ambitious."

Even Lei Jun felt a little scared.

"If you don't even have this goal, I'll give you such a good technology in vain." Gao Yuan said, "Our two companies together have sales of about 120 million, accounting for about 44% of the total sales."

After all, it's the first year, so you can't be too arrogant.

By next year, it will account for at least 70% of the total domestic mobile phone sales.

By the year after, this number will reach at least 90%.

Gradually erode all mobile phone market shares.

By then, whether it is Yuanfang Mobile or Dami Mobile, the revenue will be considerable.

Gao Yuan and Lei Jun talked a lot on this day.

Gao Yuan put forward many opinions on the specific sales business.

Lei Jun's main request is to invite Gao Yuan to participate in the new mobile phone launch conference a few days later.

Gao Yuan is now the most popular among domestic entrepreneurs.

If nothing else, just the name Gao Yuan can at least bring the Dami phone a popularity worth no less than 1 billion yuan.

…

After Lei Jun left, Gao Yuan immediately called Li Wei, the person in charge of Yuanfang Mobile Phone.

During this period, Li Wei has been under high pressure. It’s not that Gao Yuan puts pressure on him, but the mobile phone is about to be launched, and he is very nervous.

He can’t eat well, and he can’t sleep well.

If he fails, he will be ashamed of Gao Yuan’s trust.

"How many times have I said it? The mobile page must be optimized again, and the mobile store." Li Wei scolded his subordinates in the office, "You can't do this little thing well, are you just eating for nothing?"

"And the camera function, didn't I say it? At least it must be benchmarked against real cameras, and the pixels must not be bad."

"In addition, the mobile application store must quickly connect with major software. You have only completed 50% so far. Isn't it embarrassing?"

The mobile application store is particularly important. Take the most basic games as an example. Users buy mobile phones, but the application store doesn't even have popular online games. Users must be angry?

The application store is also one of the largest sources of income for mobile phones. Take the fruit company as an example. As long as you download software in the fruit store, whether you play games or work, as long as you recharge in this APP, the fruit phone will charge 30% of the fee.

Some APP owners choose to bear the cost themselves, and some APP owners let users bear the cost.

For ordinary mobile phone recharges, 10 yuan can recharge 10 coins, but for fruit mobile phone recharges, 10 yuan only has 7 coins.

As for the Android phone mall, most APP recharges are free, but game software charges 50% of the fee.

Tencent's game revenue last year was 179.9 billion. If there were no handling fees, this number would be at least around 300 billion.

It is enough to see how lucrative the profits of those mobile phone manufacturers are.

For Yuanfang Mobile, such a huge income is certainly not to be missed.

"We have been working overtime to do open source testing, Mr. Li."

The subordinate said with a stiff upper lip, "Most of the companies behind the software are still very supportive, but there are still some companies that don't pay much attention to us. The business department is currently connecting with them."

"Connecting is bullshit. We are Yuanfang Group. They have to beg to let their software enter our application APP." Li Wei was furious, "Don't worry about this. I will supervise it personally. We must reach an agreement with the major software companies behind the scenes within a month."

Although he, Li Wei, is not famous, Yuanfang Group is famous.

With the name of Yuanfang Group, which software company would not give him face?

Just as Li Wei was scolding his subordinates, his mobile phone rang. It was his boss Gao Yuan calling.

Li Wei did not dare to neglect it. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. After answering the phone, Li Wei took the lead in greeting, "Mr. Gao, hello! Do you have any instructions?"

"Nothing, just want to ask about the current production progress of your mobile phone?" Gao Yuan asked on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Gao, the first test of the prototype has been completed, and the second test is in progress. I expect the test to be completed in the early part of this month, and the third test to be completed by the end of the month."

"After the test is completed, the mobile phone can be produced."

In fact, one test is enough, but if there is a problem with the mobile phone, it will be troublesome.

So Li Wei arranged several more tests.

"It's okay to be safe, but we have to speed up the progress." Gao Yuan said, "In early May, I want to see the first batch of officially produced mobile phones, and hold a press conference in late May."

"For official sales, it will be scheduled on June 1st."

Gao Yuan gave a rough timeline.

Can't waste any more time, he wants to see the results as soon as possible.

"By the end of the year, all Yuanfang mobile phones will be replaced with our own chips." Gao Yuan said, "In terms of chips, we must not be strangled by others."

With such a huge profit of Yuanfang mobile phones, no chip manufacturer dares to strangle them.

But Gao Yuan is still a little worried that the chips are in the hands of outsiders.

The reason why he put the chip factory in Australia is also for this purpose.

Once those chip manufacturers know that Gaoyuan has started to develop chips, they will definitely unite to target Yuanfang mobile phones.

This is a profit of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions every year.

After Yuanfang Group's chips are developed, they have nothing to do.

Most of the chips for mobile phones in China are purchased from them. In simple terms, they are assembled machines with no technical content.

This has led to the arrogance of these chip manufacturers, who often raise the price of chips to threaten some mobile phone manufacturers.

Those assembled mobile phone manufacturers have no choice because they do not have core technology.

If they do not purchase these chips, they will have to stop production.
