Chapter 65 Use the classic to kill the opponent
Several of Liu Tong's business partners saw that Su An was very interested in the contents of the newspaper and seemed to be really determined to invest in self-produced mobile phones.
"Brother, do you remember that I said that the cost of the panel alone for this 17-inch LCD screen is almost 2,000 yuan.
Add the circuit board, the casing, the assembly costs of the workers, and the cost of traveling to us by boat.
This price can be said to be unmatched anywhere else in the world, because they are all selling at a loss.
We dare not guess the price of this batch of goods when Brother Su got on the ship, but at least one thing is clear, that is, Brother Su will definitely not engage in loss-making business.
Earning 1,000 yuan per unit may be a bit exaggerated.
But with only 200,300 yuan earned, it seems like this business is a bit of a loss.
Even if each unit earns 500 yuan, that means the shipping price is about 1,400 yuan.
Such cheap goods must come from ‘special channels’.
And it is impossible to get goods from this kind of channel without strong connections.
If he always has such special channels, he may even have channels to get "special price" mobile phone parts.
Does that mean that the money he earns from one mobile phone is several times more than others?
After all, the business we are doing now is not very glamorous, but if we can put the business on the bright side and create a mobile phone brand by ourselves, the money we can make will be very comfortable." When Su An was reading the newspaper, someone said
I whispered my suspicions to my friends around me in a very low voice.
"That's true, but it's a bit too simplistic.
There are dozens of brands of mobile phones and hundreds of models on the market now.
Not to mention whether you have seen these hundreds of models, it is difficult to even name them. Even most people may not be able to name ten brands or twenty models.
The water here is too deep, and after all, the world is still dominated by foreign brands.
Even if Su An can get extremely cheap parts, the mobile phone he makes will definitely be cheaper than others.
But what’s the use of being cheap?
Every model of our domestic brands is cheaper than Motorola and Nokia. However, as long as people go to buy mobile phones, they will definitely look at these two brands first.
As long as they have money in their pockets, how many people will choose domestic products?
Therefore, the cost does not guarantee a fortune, the key is whether it can be sold." My friend's words were very straightforward.
Ultimately, I still have no hope of starting my own business.
Especially for an unknown small self-made brand, it may not require tens or even hundreds of millions of investment just to build its reputation. Who would have known that there is a mobile phone brand like yours?
Even if it achieves a certain level of awareness, will it become more famous than Lenovo, Amoi, Haier, ZTE, and Bird?
These brands are struggling to survive among a bunch of foreign brands. What ability does Su An have to overpower these domestic brands?
If you can't do it, you can only spend hundreds of millions in exchange for a dream.
In the final analysis, making a mobile phone is still too simple.
Isn't it a good idea to engage in the business of "shipping goods"?
Why do you want to bring your business to the bright side?
Isn't it good to be a low-key and luxurious rich man with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?
When everyone was talking in low voices, Su An had no time to pay attention.
For Su An, even if these people participate in her mobile phone business in the future, they are not just one small channel dealer after another.
And even for this small channel dealer, these people may not dare to invest heavily.
After all, this is not hard currency like LCD monitors, nor is it the ‘visitor from the sea’ that everyone wants like low-priced brand mobile phones.
Even if these people invest a little bit, they just want to maintain the relationship with themselves.
However, these people are not useless.
These people quickly digested the Motorola v70 mobile phone, which means that these people have good connections and sales.
At this time, Su An also knew very well in her heart.
These people imagine in their minds that the mobile phones they build must be low-priced and cheap as their selling point.
This kind of product that wants to make profits by selling volume is obviously unable to attract consumer spending.
When it comes to cheap products, we have to talk about vanity, which is an enduring topic in any era.
In the age of the Internet explosion, everyone wants to buy an Apple phone.
If the wallet is not really strong, who would really want to give up the Apple phone and choose a cheap Android phone worth thousands of dollars.
Same thing in 2002!
If you have money, buy Nokia, Motorola, or Samsung.
Who would be willing to buy a mobile phone that many people can’t name, let alone the model?
But Su An now has no way to explain to these people how amazing his future mobile phone will be.
It’s not Steve Jobs’s iPhone that surprised the whole audience. It was only in the 4th generation that it completely amazed the whole world.
Su An wants to use a more amazing way to become the king of the global communications industry.
At dinner that night, no one mentioned mobile phone manufacturing again, but it ended with good food and wine.
After returning to the hotel, Su An lay on the bed and couldn't wait to open her phone and browse Taobao.
After opening Taobao, search directly: Motorola v3!
This mobile phone is the first mobile phone in human history to sell over 100 million units in one year.
The surprise it brought to the world at that time was far more than the advent of the Apple mobile phone.
However, this phone is not a flawless work of art.
In the same year that this phone was launched, when the motov3 phone only had a 30-megapixel camera, Sharp's sh900i phone had a 2.02-megapixel camera.
However, this is not an absolute crush. In the same year, Samsung s2300 even had a camera with up to 3 million pixels.
Why are mobile phones from two different manufacturers capable of launching more than 2 million photo cameras, but Motorola, a major manufacturer with the ability to purchase accessories globally, only purchases 300,000 low-pixel, low-cost cameras?
In addition, it is unimaginable that this phone does not support memory card expansion.
And his body storage is only 5mb.
The 5MB capacity is as eye-catching as the 16g version of the Apple 13 mobile phone.
In the same year, most mobile phones of other brands supported memory expansion and could freely download a large number of mp3 music.
"Are you there?" Su An sent a message from the store where she last purchased a Motorola v70 mobile phone.
Very quickly, someone will reply immediately.
"Dear, I'm here!"
"Call your supervisor..." Su An said very directly.
At this time, the customer service staff at the reception was a little confused looking at this line of writing.
He just said something and he wanted to call the supervisor. What does this mean?
Is this someone who has nothing to do and comes to the online store to look for work?
However, dissatisfied, the customer service took a look at the previous records.
"Nah..." The customer service couldn't imagine that this person actually bought thousands of v70 mobile phones.
The online store where I work did not sell so much last year.
To be more precise, the sales data for five years do not add up to as much as this one customer purchased.
When you encounter such repeat customers, whether it is placing an order again or applying for after-sales service.
Or, you may want to return the entire product, but this is something you cannot solve on your own.
2 minutes later!
"Hello, I am the supervisor of this store. I am happy to serve you again." The supervisor was a little worried now. It would be troublesome to return such a large amount of goods.
In a store, it is inevitable that you will encounter disgusting colleagues looking for trouble.
Things like this kind of buying and returning, returning and buying again are almost everywhere in the entire e-commerce world.
"I am very satisfied with your products and would like to have in-depth cooperation with your store.
I saw that you sell Motorola v3 mobile phone in your store, and I want to deeply customize this phone.
Initial customization may require tens of thousands of units.
If the product satisfies me, I will order about 100,000 units in the future. Do you have the production capacity?" Su An said that he would order tens of thousands of units, but Zhongzheng's purpose was not disclosed.
"Big business..." For a small workshop-style nostalgic mobile phone factory store that sells tens of thousands of units, this is definitely a huge business.
"You said, if you have any requests, just mention them. We are within our capabilities and will definitely meet all your requests." The store replied quickly, and his hands even shook a little when replying to the message.
"I want the appearance of MotoV3, but the internal things need to be greatly changed..." Su An began to significantly upgrade the configuration of this mobile phone, which was the first in human history to sell over 100 million yuan.
At this time, what Su An wants to do is to use the enemy's past classics to kill themselves.
