Chapter 1621 Everyone is happy
"Well, I think mobile phones are gradually becoming a trend, right?" Qin Feng had an idea in his mind and said with a smile.
President Ollila nodded.
This is also the reason why Nokia unswervingly takes the mobile phone route.
They saw that mobile phones would become an indispensable social tool for people in the future.
Just like a landline phone, every household has one.
But for landline phones, a family only needs one.
But mobile phones are different.
Everyone needs it.
Think about the 6 billion people on the planet today, what a huge market this is.
If everyone has one, that's 6 billion.
Of course, mobile phones are not cheap, and many people in poor countries cannot afford them.
But even counting only developed countries and the richer countries in developing countries, the population is at least 2 billion.
This market is at least 2 billion. Then, it takes five years to replace a mobile phone.
That is, every five years, there will be a huge market of 2 billion.
2 billion, then the average is 400 million per year.
Then Nokia got one-tenth of the order, which is 40 million.
With 40 million orders a year, President Ollila is very satisfied. Nokia is also very satisfied.
Qin Feng grinned.
40 million? Too underestimated the mobile phone market, and too underestimated the influence of Nokia.
In the future, shipments will reach hundreds of millions of units a year.
In its most glorious period, several mobile phones sold more than 100 million units. Let’s put it this way, before Apple, there were only 7 single mobile phone models that sold more than 100 million units, of which Nokia accounted for 6.
Nokia 1110, launched in 2005, has sold 250 million units.
Nokia 3210, launched in 1999, sold 160 million units.
Nokia 1200: launched in 2007 and sold 150 million units.
Nokia 5230, launched in 2010, has sold 150 million units.
Nokia 3310, launched in 2000, sold 136 million units.
Nokia 2600, launched in 2004, has sold 135 million units.
At its peak, in 2005, annual sales reached 430 million units. This is a very scary number.
It was also the number that brought Nokia from its peak to its demise quickly.
It's extremely cold at high places.
But this is still many years away.
It will take time for smartphones to come out. At least without Steve Jobs, smartphones would not be able to unify the market and replace expensive feature phones with effective functions.
From this point of view, Qin Feng really admires everything Jobs has done for mankind again.
In the mobile phone industry, Qin Feng admires two people.
One is the man who changed the entire mobile phone landscape, and even the entire Internet industry, as well as the human lifestyle - Steve Jobs. His greatness, from a historical perspective, is undoubtedly the greatest person in the 21st century.
He single-handedly changed the entire human lifestyle.
Before the iPhone, Nokia also tried to move various functions to mobile phones, but it only provided an auxiliary function and did not think that it could replace some specialized devices.
But Jobs was different. He believed that a mobile phone could replace everything.
In the future, people will no longer need to use other devices. One smartphone can replace many devices.
Just let professionals use professional equipment and let the masses use mobile phones. This was Jobs' ideal. And he did it.
The second person Qin Feng admired was Lei Jun.
Because Lei Jun single-handedly destroyed the global Android phone market.
Before that, Jobs popularized smartphones and changed human lifestyles.
However, the price of smartphones is still high.
With Steve Jobs’s Apple jewels at the forefront, smartphones are at a ridiculous price position.
The flagship phone is about the same price as Apple, a few hundred dollars cheaper.
But entry-level smartphones, since they are smartphones, must be very expensive.
Its price will not be less than 2,000 yuan, and its functions are not much different from those on the market that sell for thousands of yuan.
In fact, you can't even feel the difference. The only difference is that smartphones are slower than feature phones when turning on some traditional functions.
Undoubtedly, this is ridiculous.
Later, Lei Jun broke all this and lowered the price to a point where it could no longer be lowered.
At the same time, it also makes the global shopping model of Android’s performance become a fixed pattern.
Smartphones have become commonplace for all consumers.
This has allowed smartphones to become popular in advance, and has also allowed those big guys who really make money from the Internet, such as Jack Ma, Ma Huateng and others, to make a lot of money. To a certain extent, they also have to thank Lei Jun.
Without Lei Jun, the popularity of smartphones would not be so fast, and the prices would still be so high.
In particular, the upgrade speed will never be that fast.
Of course, Qin Feng won't talk about mobile phone hardware or anything at this moment. It's useless to talk about it.
At this moment, what Qin Feng wants to talk about is music.
"President Ollila, I think since mobile phones are so popular, everyone naturally needs music. This world cannot be separated from music." Qin Feng said.
President Ollila nodded.
It is impossible for human beings to live without music. If there is no music, it would be too miserable.
"Then mobile phone ringtones are the top priority." Qin Fengxiao said, "Currently, mobile phone ringtones only have default ringtones, and people can input them through simplified musical notation, but there are too few music majors."
President Ollila vaguely read something from Qin Feng's words. It's just not clear yet.
"I think so, this is a world that pursues personalization, and everyone pursues personalization. Everyone wants their mobile phone ringtone to be different. So can you do this, let's build a website together, your
On the platform, my music company will create various ringtone arrangements, let professional people do professional things, and then provide paid downloads. For example, a ringtone is 1 US dollar!" Qin Fengxiao said, "In this way, your company makes money, and we
Make money, including music artists. As for consumers, it is extremely happy to have their own unique and exclusive ringtones. In this way, everyone is happy, isn't it wonderful?"
One ringtone costs one dollar. President Ollila quickly made a calculation in his mind.
There are 40 million mobile phones a year, and a mobile phone downloads one ringtone every three months on average, which means 160 million ringtones are downloaded in a year. Each ringtone is US$1, so the profit in this area is US$160 million.
Even if it is divided among the three parties, Nokia can still earn tens of millions of dollars more in net profit.
This is pure profit, and there is almost no investment. This is a good deal.
President Ollila's eyes shone brightly. This piano master is very smart.
I can actually figure this out.
Moreover, he estimated based on a relatively conservative figure, and it is likely to be more.
