Invincible from the mobile phone empire

The functional machine can naturally greatly reduce the cost, so as to realize the pricing of soft coins like the Transsion K1 mobile phone.

However, due to the production cost of smartphones, the price cannot be too low.

He also knew that Huaxing cooperated with Lei Tianwang of Xiaomi mobile phone, and the mobile phone of the Hongmi 1 smartphone launched by Xiaomi was only 998 soft sister coins, not even one thousand yuan.

But directly from the soft sister currency to one thousand yuan, the span is still a bit big.

In the African market, a thousand yuan mobile phone is definitely a high-end mobile phone.

This restricts many users from being able to buy because of the price.

Lao Zhu said embarrassedly: "Mr. Chen, I know what you mean, but if the price of the mobile phone launched is too high, it will definitely not sell well."

Chen Ye smiled slightly on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Mr. Zhu, if you use the cheap chips that have been eliminated by the United Division, and some other software and hardware use the cheapest materials, can the cost be controlled to about 700 soft sister coins?"

Hearing Chen Ye's words, Lao Zhu suddenly became enlightened.

The reason why the Hongmi 1 smartphone price still needs one thousand yuan after the profit is greatly compressed is because the basic performance of the mobile phone should not be too bad, otherwise what is the difference with those cottage phones?

But in Africa apparently not so much thought. .

Chapter 288

In fact, if the cost of smartphones is only controlled at around 700 yuan, it is not impossible at present.

Because the Hong Mi 1 smartphone has been released for nearly a year, the prices of various accessories used in it have actually been reduced, but the amount is not too large.

Just follow the Macro Mi 1 smartphone to build a smartphone suitable for the African market, and the cost will also drop.

And if according to what Chen Ye said, it is completely feasible to reduce the various configurations of this smartphone to the minimum and the cost directly to 700.

However, Chen Ye only gave an example and provided an idea, not really asking Lao Zhu to do what he said. How to do it depends on himself.

After all, it is Lao Zhu who understands the African market better.

"Mr. Chen, there is one more thing. The Motor Salad Company just contacted me to purchase the camera technology of the Transsion K1 mobile phone. I have told him that the technology belongs to you Huaxing. It is estimated that they will contact you soon."

After talking about this matter, Lao Zhu talked about another matter.

And after Chen Ye heard it, the corner of his mouth hung a slight arc, and said, "~Oh?"

"President Zhu, do you think they should be allowed to buy this technology?"

When Lao Zhu heard it, he said without hesitation: "It must not be given to them. We have to rely on this technology to make a living. If it is given to them, we estimate that no one will buy a voice phone."

Lao Zhu's thoughts can be said to be normal.

But after Chen Ye thought for a moment, he said, "No, I think it should be sold to them."

"Well? Why?" Lao Zhu was puzzled.

At present, the voice mobile phone dare not say that it has a firm foothold. Selling the core technology now is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

At this time, Chen Ye asked back: "If Moto Salad uses our technology, will they compete with us?"

"No, the price of their mobile phones is much higher than ours, and they are not in the same class at all." Lao Zhu said without hesitation.

"Then, in the future, will we develop to the class of people targeted by Moto Salad, and then sell high-priced mobile phones?" Chen Ye objected again.

"It's definitely not at present, the low-end market is enough, but my plan is to focus on the low-end market and cost-effectiveness, so it shouldn't be."

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand what President Chen means."

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said, "We all know this technology, it's not a high-tech, but we thought of it first and made it out. If we adopt a technology blockade, they will definitely think of other ways. To break through the blockade, this time will not be too long, after all, this interest is too enviable."

 …  

"I think they must be preparing both hands now."

"But if we sell it to them, on the one hand, we can benefit from it and get a lot of money, and on the other hand, we can also make a name for our sound transmission company."

"Actually, there is another point. If we provide them with technology, then they will not be too eager for technology research and development. After all, the immediate interests are the most important."

"So I thought, not only will this technology be sold to Moto Salad, but also to other mobile phone companies, and let them all use our technology."

After listening to Chen Ye's words, Lao Zhu was completely dumbfounded.and.

Chapter 289

Although he just understood what Chen Ye meant, he didn't expect so much.

But in this short period of time, Chen Ye thought about it, and Lao Zhu really didn't know how to describe each other.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Zhu could only describe it as an evildoer.

But he just thought about it in his heart, how dare he say it?

After speaking, the two sides hung up the phone.

After Chen Ye's suggestion, Lao Zhu quickly had an idea in his heart.

Then [-] is in terms of chips. Although it is possible to use United Technologies, it should not be too bad. Otherwise, it will lead to a poor mobile phone experience, and even lead to a significant reduction in the life of the mobile phone.

Just like those Shanzhai machines from the Great Xia Kingdom, their reputation soon stinks.

Although Lianheke was synonymous with fake mobile phones in the past, with the development of the past few years, Lianheke is also working hard to update the technology to make the chip more usable.

However, due to the performance gap between Lianheke's chips and mainstream chips, and people's consciousness has always believed that Lianheke is synonymous with low-end chips, the price of its chips has not been high.

After the comparison, Lao Zhu decided to use the previous generation chip of United Technologies.

That generation of chips is naturally a bit poor for Daxia's smartphones, but it is just enough for the African market.

Then, in terms of taking pictures, he believes that the pixels should not be too low.

The reason why Transsion phones sell well is mainly because of the camera function. The phone has higher pixels and can better meet the needs of middle and upper-class people.

As for other aspects, such as some black technology, mobile phone memory, process technology, etc., can be reduced.

Coupled with the low labor costs in Africa, the cost of this smartphone can be reduced a bit.

During this period of time, Transsion is still doing market research and discovering the habits and preferences of many Africans.

These will all be designed into this new sound-transmitting smartphone.

After careful cost calculation, if this smartphone is made, the cost can be controlled at around 750 soft sister coins.

Although the price was slightly higher than the 700 soft sister coins mentioned by Chen Ye, Lao Zhu was very satisfied.

Now that the plan has been set, the next step is research and development.

In the next three months, Transsion's technicians accelerated the horsepower, day and night, and finally completed the research and development of this Transsion smartphone at the end of the third month...  

In the past three months, the sales of Transsion K1 mobile phones are still hot, but the situation of short supply has not appeared again.

However, it has made the brand of Transsion mobile phones more famous in Africa.

Lao Zhu also used some tricks in promoting the brand of Transsion phones.

That is to deliberately conceal that Transsion is a mobile phone manufacturer in Daxia, so that people who do not know why think Transsion is a local African company.

This has made African people more recognized and trusted in the voice mobile phone.

They are also more willing to pay for the voice phone.

And just a month ago, Transsion announced that it will release a better phone in the near future.

This makes the middle and upper classes in Africa rejoice and look forward to it.

You know, they now have a love-hate relationship with the Transsion K1 phone.

What they love is the camera function of the Transsion K1 mobile phone, which is very useful to them.

What I hate is that the other functions of the Transsion K1 phone are too poor, so it can only be used as a camera, but it is too troublesome to always carry two mobile phones when going out. .

Chapter 290

So in Africa, too many people want to hear a better phone.

Now they are very happy to hear that Transsion will release a new phone, and it will be even better.

At the same time, John, the president of Moto Salad, contacted Chen Ye and expressed his willingness to use the camera technology of the Transsion K1 mobile phone.

In this regard, Chen Ye readily agreed.

However, Moto Salad paid a huge price for it, and it made John's flesh hurt for a long time.

17 But there is no way, he is very happy to be able to talk about achievements. Although the price is high, they can earn it back quickly.

At the same time, since the great harvest of Transsion and Moto Salad in the African market has also spread to mobile phone companies such as Jiuxing and Fruit, these companies have also come to Africa.

However, since their mobile phones are all smart phones, they are generally more expensive, and they do not have the same features as microphones, so sales can be said to be very bleak.

After hearing that Moto Salad actually obtained the right to use the camera technology of the Transsion K1 mobile phone, like a cat smelling fish, they all found Chen Ye and wanted to seek cooperation.

This was right in Chen Ye's arms, and of course he readily agreed.

It's just that the price is also high.

Soon, the new Transsion phone was released, which Lao Zhu named the Transsion T1 smartphone, priced at 798 soft sister coins.

This time, the profit of the Transsion T1 smartphone is obviously much higher, and the profit of each smartphone has reached 50 soft sister coins.

Although compared with mobile phones such as Moto Salad, the profit is still very small, but compared with the Transsion K1 mobile phone, it has been greatly improved.

The reason why Lao Zhu set the price slightly higher this time is because he wants to set up a franchise store.

You must know that the Transsion T1 smartphone is aimed at a higher class and a higher group. If it is still like the Transsion K1 mobile phone, holding a mobile phone to sell in crowded areas will undoubtedly greatly reduce the popularity of the Transsion T1 smartphone. taste.

In this way, it will give people a feeling that they have spent a lot of money, but bought the goods from the stall.

Moreover, if there is no franchise store for the sound mobile phone, it is like a rootless tree, after all, it is not a long-term thing.

As mobile phone companies such as Moto Salad have also adopted camera technology that can clearly photograph Africans' facial features, voice-phone mobile phones are easily obsolete.
