Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

However, just as Chen Yu was about to leave, he saw several interesting mobile phones on a booth.

"Boss, what brand are these mobile phones?"

Chen Yu picked up a mobile phone and looked at it.

The appearance of these mobile phones is basically the same as those of the big-name mobile phones, but they do not have these brands.

"Isn't this a Nokia?"

"This should be Motorola, right?"

"This is Sony."

Chen Yu asked, "How much?"

"Um, buddy, these phones are not for sale."

The stall owner is a 27-year-old man with a lot of peas on his face and his face is greasy.

It looked like it had been up for several nights.

Seeing Chen Yu and the others coming, he said while eating instant noodles.

"Not for sale?"

Chen Yu asked, "Why don't you sell it?"

"These are all assembled and played by myself. Although the appearance and many functions are the same as those of major mobile phone brands, the parts inside are completely different."

"Not bad."

Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

Isn't that what he's looking for, a mobile phone expert?

"Boss, I really want to buy it."

"Do you really want to buy it?"

The boss of Tanla obviously didn't expect that Chen Yu really wanted it. He hesitated, but said again: "Let me tell you again, this is not a branded mobile phone, but I assembled and played with it. It can be used, but the quality is average. Of course, if it is broken If so, I can also give you a warranty."

"It's ok, I like this phone, and it looks like these brands of phones."

"Actually, there is still a difference..."

The stall owner wanted to say more, but a young man next to him patted him and said in a low voice, "I'm talking about Lao Liang, others clearly want it, why are you talking so much?"

After finishing speaking, the young man smiled at Chen Yu and the others: "This, this, my brother can't speak, all these mobile phones are sold, all of them are sold, you see, although they are not produced by regular manufacturers, they have exactly the same appearance and function, and the price It’s very affordable, as long as 800 yuan each. You know, these mobile phones are high-end phones, and the external ones with the same appearance and functions cost more than 2500 yuan.”

"800 yuan, it's really cheap, I want it all."

Without bargaining, Chen Yu bought all five assembled mobile phones from the stall owner.

"The boss is refreshing, a total of 4000 yuan, in this case, just give 3800, three eight thirty-eight, you and I will send it all."

"With your kind words, let's send them together. By the way, do you have a business card?"

"Yes, yes, this is my buddy, Lao Liang, who will turn it on for you 24 hours a day."

"Thank you."

After receiving the business card, Chen Yu paid 3800 yuan and left Huaqiangbei with 5 mobile phones.

Chapter 443: Counterfeit Machine (for Subscription)

"Old Liang, you were an idiot just now. They obviously want to buy it, but you still say this and that. You can't make money if you have money. Look, if this continues, you will not be able to pay the rent. Come on, 3800 yuan, tsk tsk, I made a fortune today."

The guy stuffed 3800 yuan back into Lao Liang's hands, and said enviously, "I see, why don't you just do this business of assembling mobile phones, what do you think?"

"No, the business of assembling mobile phones is illegal."

"What kind of law is it against? Not stealing and not robbing, what kind of violation is this? Besides, look, how many people in our street have not done some work?"

"Forget it, do you think there are so many people who have been taken advantage of, and it will be fine if he doesn't come to return the goods later."

While this assembled phone looks identical to a range of branded phones, that's just what it looks like.After the real experience, you will find that the difference is actually quite big.For example, some functions, although the assembled mobile phone can also have such functions, but the experience effect is very general. Take this screen display as an example, it is really a bit blurry, and the sound is not very good.At the same time, it is impossible to compare the signal with the brand machine, and the texture is even worse.

Of course, if it is exactly the same as the brand mobile phone, it is impossible to buy it for a few hundred dollars.

Even if it is a parallel imported mobile phone, there is no such price.

After all, parallel imported mobile phones are not fake mobile phones, let alone counterfeit products. They are exactly the same as the real ones, and they are also produced by regular manufacturers, but they do not pay taxes.

"That's true."

The boy next to him sighed.

He also knows the problems of assembling mobile phones, and usually they play by themselves, at most, they do it for some of their friends as a friend.But if you really want to sell it, you won't make much money at all.This is not to say that there is no money to be made in assembling mobile phones. In fact, there is money to be made, but the key is to sell it.

Not everyone is like that person, just bought five of them.

Usually they put such mobile phones on the booth without even asking.

At first glance, that guy looks like a rich second generation. This kind of business is rare.

……

"Come, come, come and see."

On the way back to the company, Chen Yu distributed the mobile phone he bought to Wu Kai and Zhou Yifei.

"What's so good about it? Although the appearance is the same as the brand machine, the inside is very different."

Wu Kai played for a while, then put the phone aside.

"Hehe, if it's the same as the brand name machine, how can I sell it to you so cheaply."

Chen Yu didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "If we also make such a mobile phone, what do you think?"

"No way?"

Wu Kai was extremely surprised: "Chen Yu, what are you thinking, making such a mobile phone is really going to be taken over."

"What are you thinking, won't we change the way? For example, let's change the appearance... don't have the same appearance as those brand mobile phones, isn't it okay?"

"This one……"

Wu Kai had some thoughts that couldn't keep up with Chen Yu.After a while, he said, "Then the quality is too bad."

"It's worse, but it's still usable."

"It can be used, but users will definitely not buy it when they see such poor quality."

"Then sell it cheap."

"I don't want cheap ones. I don't want such a mobile phone, let alone 800 yuan, even 700 yuan, and I don't want 600 yuan."

"Then I'll sell it for 500 yuan."

"500 yuan?"

Wu Kai shook his head subconsciously, but after thinking about it suddenly, he hesitated immensely.

500 yuan.

It seems that there is no 500 yuan mobile phone on the market.

If you really launch a 500 yuan mobile phone, maybe some users will really like it.

"Yifei, what do you think?"

Chen Yu asked about Zhou Yifei.

"Chen Yu, you mean, let's grab the market first?"

Zhou Yifei hadn't said a word before, she was actually thinking about what Chen Yu meant by coming to Huaqiangbei today.

Until now, Zhou Yifei is a little bit clearer.

"That's right, it's just to seize the market."

Chen Yu nodded and said.

In 2003, the domestic mobile phone market was still in an era of great development. Although various mobile phone brands emerged, the prices of mobile phones were generally relatively expensive.The general price is more than 1000 yuan, which is relatively low-end.The better ones cost at least 1500 yuan, or even more than 2000 yuan.

Speaking of it, the current average salary of Chinese people is only a little over 1000.

It is really a bit reluctant to spend a month's salary on a mobile phone that is not particularly high-end.

This also leads to the fact that there are still a lot of people in China who do not have mobile phones.

At least for those who do not do business, they have no intention of buying a mobile phone.

Even if they want to buy it, many people will not consider buying it for the time being when they think of such a price.

In other words, in fact, the entire mobile phone market is still very large, and major mobile phone brands have not tapped it at all.

And how to mine, the most effective way is to cut prices.

I can't afford 1000 yuan, how about 800 yuan?

800 is reluctant, how about 700, 600, or even 500?

Don't say you are not moved.

If the price did fall to such a point, the market would burst into flames.

"Chen Yu, we don't have much to earn from 500 yuan."

"It's worth earning."

Chen Yu said: "Look, how much do you think the cost will be based on the workmanship of this assembled mobile phone and the parts inside?"

"Probably a little over 300."

"The boss only needs a little more than 300 pieces to assemble by hand. How about we mass-produce them?"

"let me see……"

After all, it is for mobile phone processing. After Chen Yu finished speaking, Wu Kai made crazy calculations in his mind.

"Twenty dollars."

"No, 247 yuan."

"Chen Yu, if you want me to do it, I can reduce the cost to 247 yuan."

"I'll go, it can be accurate to single digits, awesome."

Giving a thumbs up to Wu Kai, Chen Yu said.

"This is mainly because I am in contact with this category every day, and I know how much each component costs."

"Well, if taxes are included, we estimate that our cost should be around 280 yuan."

"Each mobile phone, we still have a profit of more than 200."

Chen Yu calculated the account for everyone.

"Although earning only 200 yuan per mobile phone is not much, but if it is measured, it will be terrifying."

"Think about how many people there are in our country, more than one billion people, not to mention selling more than one billion units, if we can sell 1 million units a year, how much is that?"

"More than 200 billion."

It's not like I don't know, I was really stunned by such a terrifying profit.

In fact, in the previous life, there were a series of well-known brand mobile phones, and the profit of each of them was not high.

Take Xiaomi as an example. At that time, their profit for a mobile phone was only 100 yuan.

But even if it is 100 yuan, more than 1 million units are sold every year, which is a profit of more than 100 billion.

Moreover, this is only the profit of mobile phone hardware.

Through software, through the system, through a series of other ecological environments, it will contribute a large amount of income.

"Chen Yu, if this is the case, how can we compete with major mobile phone brands?"

"Competition, there is no competition at all. We are differentiated competition, and their prices are not on the same road. Although it seems that there is competition, in fact there is no relationship between Mao."

For the major mobile phone brands, Chen Yu didn't feel anything at all.

Compared with brand, technology, quality, and high-end, of course it can't compare with you.

But compared to low-end, price, and cost-effective, it will kill you in seconds.
