Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

The next day.

The launch of Sanwei mobile phone immediately became a hot topic among the people.

After seeing Sanwei's many black technologies, the public suddenly felt that the Nokia and Motorola in their hands were not so attractive.

Hearing that Sanwei mobile phone would be officially launched in 5 months, they immediately left messages on Sanwei's official website to urge.

The three major portals conducted a survey of 5 million users. 80% of users were willing to pay for Sanwei mobile phone at 2899, and the remaining 19% of users chose to wait and see.

The remaining 1% of users said it was too expensive.

The price of 2899 is indeed not cheap, which is equivalent to the annual income of a farmer. Urban white-collar workers may have to grit their teeth and save money for half a year to afford it.

But compared with the launch price abroad, everyone has nothing to say. 899 US dollars is nearly twice as expensive as in China.

The most discussed topic on the Internet is the bet between Wang Lei and the president of Nokia.

Everyone naturally hopes to win, but compared with the previous records of both sides, many people think that Mr. Wang underestimated the enemy this time.

A blogger made a number comparison:

The top three mobile phone models sold worldwide.

The first place is the Nokia 3210 (launched in 1999), with sales of 160 million units.

The second place is the Nokia 3310 (launched in 2000), with sales of 140 million units.

The second place is the Nokia 2600 (launched in 2004), with sales of 130 million units.

The fourth place is the Motorola V3, which was released in 2004 and its sales are slightly lower than the Nokia 2600.

Both civilian phones and flagship phones are blooming, one is really cheap, and the other is really expensive.

Since 1996, Nokia has always been the sales leader and has occupied the first place in the market for nearly ten years.

On the other hand, what does Sanwei have? The only thing the company can show off is the sales of the Xpress.

In 2003, a total of 20 million units were sold, and in 2004, sales...

Some people estimate that after so many years of the birth of Freetone, the sales volume is at most 200 million.

Not only are loyal fans of Nokia not optimistic about Sanwei mobile phones, but many leaders also think that Wang Lei is a bit impulsive this time.

According to the instructions from above, the information department and Freetone Company plan to launch some contract phones with preferential activities.

Representative Xiao also brought new tax incentives.

"In order to support and encourage the development of high-tech self-developed products, 50% of the taxes on certain models of Freetone Company's mobile phones will be exempted..."

The tax was directly exempted by half!

Wang Lei was a little confused. Of course, he was very happy about the tax reduction.

But Sanwei's profit margin is already very large. He thinks that paying some taxes is reasonable. Why should the above reduce the tax policy by half?

Because all of Sanwei's patents are independently developed, all raw materials come from its own mines, and processing and assembly are done by its own OEM factories.

So much so that the profit of Sanwei mobile phone will reach a terrifying 1,500 yuan per unit!

Wang Lei was a little panicked to make so much money.

Representative Xiao looked at Wang Lei's helpless look and smiled:

"The bosses hope that you can give some discounts at the right time to lower the price and increase sales."

It's no wonder that the superiors have such ideas. Longguo's business system has always been built on price wars. Starting from Changhong, price wars have become the foundation of Longguo manufacturers.

Wang Lei does not resist price wars and uses cheap and practical things to compete with foreign companies for the market.

But Sanwei's first generation of mobile phones is different.

It is the result of more than ten years of research and development by Sanshi and Longwei Group, and the hard work of several generations of R&D personnel. It far exceeds overseas manufacturers in terms of technology and quality.

Even if Jobs had sufficient R&D funds, it would take two or three years to catch up.

It will take Samsung four or five years to surpass.

The most important thing is that this is what Wang Lei has been planning since his rebirth.

Is it expensive to sell such a good thing for 2899 or 899 dollars?

In the original history, the official price of the N95 released by Nokia in 2007 was 8666 yuan.

Many people spent all their money to buy the N95. Is it expensive to sell the Sanwei mobile phone, which has far superior performance to the N95, for 2899 yuan?

Hearing this, Representative Xiao's eyes also turned red, and he quickly comforted Wang Lei:

"It's not expensive, it's really not expensive, and it's sold at a low price. It should be priced at 1299 US dollars, so that those foreigners can enjoy the iron fist of socialism!"

Both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Don't think too much, Mr. Wang, I will explain to the bosses above...

As for the additional 50% tax reduction, this is also a reward given to Sanshi and Longwei by the upper level. This is what you deserve. We hope that everyone will learn the spirit of Sanwei and let the peopleThe brand of the family truly stands at the top of the world!"

After Representative Xiao left in a hurry, Wang Lei fell into deep thought.

Wang Lei felt that the senior executives of the two groups were a bit conservative in terms of price.

He planned to make a fuss about the configuration. US$899 was only the price of the lowest-equipped bare phone. Earphones, chargers, and mobile phone cases all had to be charged extra!

After Wang Lei told Ni Pingnan and Mr. Ren about his ideas, they both fell into silence.

"Swindlers."

Ni Pingnan couldn't help but make a joke.

It was really eye-opening. This TM fell into the money, right? Shouldn't the charger, earphones, and mobile phone cases come with the phone?

The configuration is the same. A slight upgrade of one configuration will cost an extra US$200!

The top configuration plus all peripherals costs US$2,250!

Who is this number scolding for 250?

"Boss, this is not good. What if some foreigners complain to the relevant agencies about us?

If things go wrong, they will boycott our Sanwei mobile phones. "

Wang Lei smiled:

"Of course, we use magic to defeat magic. We directly declare that we do not configure chargers and earphones because we want to protect the environment!"

Ni Pingnan was speechless. You know, the charging port and earphone jack used by Sanwei mobile phones are specially made. If users want to charge and use earphones, they still have to buy from Sanwei!

Shameless, he has never seen such a shameless person. Just make money, but also use the guise of protecting the environment.

Mr. Ren was unable to speak clearly for a while, and asked stutteringly:

"What about China?"

"There is a mobile phone purchase activity in China. If you buy a low-end model, you will get a gift package of charger and earphone protective case."

"If you buy a mid-end model, you will also get a personalized mobile phone case. If you buy a high-end model, you will get a three-year warranty service..."

Hearing this, Mr. Ren couldn't help but sigh:

"Mr. Wang, you are really a role model for our generation."

"What if foreign users protest and say that we are giving special treatment?" ”

“We are fair. We set prices based on income levels. Can the consumption levels of developing and developed countries be the same?”

“As developed countries, shouldn’t the prices be higher to match their noble status?”

Ni Pingnan nodded and said:

“Boss, what you said makes sense.”

“Foreign users will understand us.”
