Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 481 We make mobile phones to sell them to everyone without making money

The appearance of [Starry Sky: Qingyun] has almost perfectly surpassed everyone's fantasy about 3G mobile phones.

From a 2G mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages, it has leaped directly to the "smart phone" stage in one step, and it has spanned at least 5 years.

The direct feedback brought to people by this kind of intergenerational upgrading progress is very shocking.

As for its price, the audience is also looking forward to it, and they can't guess what price this mobile phone like a work of art will set.

"I think it should be between 6000-10000 yuan."

"It's a little higher than I guessed. My guess is 5000 yuan."

"To be honest, if it's 5000 yuan, I can still accept it...it's just two or three months' salary."

"No matter how expensive it is, I won't be able to accept it. I hope it's a price I can afford."

"I don't think it should be cheap. If it were me, I would definitely set a very high-end price, because it is worth it."

"The [Jazz phone] next door can be priced at 2999 yuan, and the price of this phone is not more than double, which I think is cheap."

The audience murmured in low voices.

Wilson's eyes lit up. He was shocked by [Qingyun Phone] just now, and now he realized that the price of this phone hasn't been announced yet.

The comprehensive technology of [Qingyun Mobile Phone] far exceeds what it should be in this era, and the price will definitely not be cheap.

Wilson is very clear that consumers in Daxia are very sensitive to prices.

In other countries, price tags ending in "9" are rare and complete.

The only difference is that in Daxia, consumers here are more inclined to set prices like 9, 19, 199, and 1999 instead of integers.

From such a small difference, we can see how sensitive these consumers are to prices.

[Qingyun Mobile Phone] is indeed excellent, completely crushing their [Jazz Mobile Phone].

Even if Wilson were to be the product manager, he would split the selling points of this phone and make several models, thinking that it would sell better.

With so many "epoch-making" selling points all piled up together, the cost alone is very scary, and the price cannot be low.

"As long as the price of [Qingyun Mobile Phone] exceeds 4000 yuan, then we still have a chance."

Wilson thought to himself.

As long as the price gap with [Qingyun Mobile Phone] is widened, he can continue to reduce the price to make the gap even bigger.

In this way, most consumers will choose [Jazz Phone] instead of the expensive [Qingyun Phone].

This has nothing to do with domestic brands or international brands. Even if everyone knows that [Qingyun Phone] is the best, the price is here.

The price is enough to destroy all good things.

however--

His idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

……

on the stage.

Listening to the silent scene, Tian Moyun smiled: "The final price of [Qingyun Phone] is..."

He pressed the remote control, and the big screen went dark for an instant, and then four large red characters fell down.

2999!

"2999 yuan, this should be a surprising price."

Tian Moyun said slowly: "[Qingyun Mobile Phone] will be officially launched in all [Mege Brand Stores] across the country on February 2st; in the future, we will separate the mobile phone and computer businesses into an independent chain store Brand, with sales, after-sales maintenance, parts sales, product consultation... a physical store that integrates, providing more convenient services for everyone."

"Then, this press conference is over, thank you for your support."

clap clap-

The audience burst into warm applause, like thunder, deafening.

"2999 yuan? It's the same price as [Jazz Phone]. My God, this is going to directly beat the other party to death."

"This price is really beyond expectations. Everyone only dares to guess above 5000, who dares to guess below."

"I'm curious, is there really room for profit at such a low price?"

"The research and development cost of a precision machine like a mobile phone is very scary, and there are also 3G networks, Internet TV stations, free "Sword of Heaven", as well as transportation, advertising, offline stores, after-sales, celebrity endorsements... all of these have to be counted. Go in, I’m afraid you’ll die if you sell it so cheap.”

"I don't understand what Boss Tian is thinking."

"You spiritual shareholders, don't worry. Boss Tian must have his own ideas. He has always been a person with a long-term vision. How could he make a loss-making business? There must be room for profit, but we can't see it."

"Your thinking is too rigid. [Qingyun Mobile] can make money from software. Why do you have to make money from hardware?"

"It is said that [Xingkong Computer] is like this. The profit of hardware is thin, and it depends on [Software Mall] to make money."

"..."

The audience discussed in low voices, all showing wisdom.

……

"It's over."

Wilson's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

He originally thought that if [Qingyun Mobile Phone] sold for more than 4000 yuan, they still had a chance to take advantage of the price advantage to win the game.

but now--

The same price is 2999 yuan, [Jazz Phone] is completely beaten by the other party, in terms of appearance, brand awareness, comprehensive performance experience, selling points, offline channels, national expectations... there is no advantage at all.

Well, it's not completely without advantages.

They can also promote it under the slogan of "big international brand, lighthouse technology".

Can……

It is too pitiful that there is only such a "selling point" left for a mobile phone that costs countless money and painstaking efforts.

"How could it be so cheap? What is Tian Moyun thinking?"

Wilson couldn't figure it out.

[Qingyun mobile phone] has a lot of selling points, directly surpassing the international five-year period, and it is built on the horrible research and development funds... The price of 5 yuan is enough to pay back the cost, and the profit is almost nothing. thought about it.

And that【Star TV】——

That's not just setting up a TV station department, buying the broadcasting rights of some TV dramas and variety shows and it's over.

Not only does it need to install special signal receiving hardware in the mobile phone, but it also needs to build signal base stations throughout the city... From research and development to material costs, this is all money! ! !
Tian Moyun has worked so hard to make this mobile phone, what is the picture?

Is it really just to sell to consumers without making money?

"Maybe it's the same routine as [Xingkong Computer], hardware doesn't make money, but software makes money?"

A person next to him said suddenly.

When Tian Moyun introduced the functions of [Qingyun Mobile] before, he focused on the "Starry Sky Family Bucket Mobile Version". There are many profitable projects here.

Rather than saying [Qingyun] is a mobile phone, it is better to say that it is specially developed to expand the territory of the "Starry Sky Family Bucket"... the starry sky launcher.

"Is software so profitable?"

Wilson's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Then can we also make money from software?"

"This……"

The person next to him looked puzzled: "We didn't think about it when we were making products. Computers and mobile phones are all completely bought out, and there are no later profit projects."

"..."

Wilson wanted to vomit blood depressed.
