The Chinese New Year is not long before the Chinese New Year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The cold wind was blowing in the night sky, and the villa was warm.

Living room.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Aiguo leaned on the sofa and watched TV.

Cheng Lin came out of the aisle with the dishes and complained: "Your father and son have become masters, and you can't help at home." ā€

Zhang Wei looked back and saw his mother bringing the peacock fish to the dinner table, and said with a smile: "Aren't my dad and I watching TV? Nokia's new mobile phone will go on sale in the next two days, see if there is any news coverage." ā€

"That's right. Zhang Aiguo said as a matter of course: "Nokia has set a price of 25,888, and if you want to sell 100,000 copies, you will have to pay more than 100 million licenses, how many chefs will you hire for more than 100 million?"

Cheng Lin crossed his waist and said, "Zhang Aiguo, you have treated your wife as a chef, right?"

Zhang Wei couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, Mom, go and serve the food, anyway, it's not you who cooks the food, and you can't be a chef if you want to." ā€

Cheng Lin snorted and went to the kitchen.

After she left, Zhang Wei looked back at his father, "Dad, do you know how many mobile phones Maria has prepared?"

Zhang Aiguo, who was watching TV, said casually: "It is estimated that 100,000 units, about 30,000 units have been processed and produced in our foundry these days, and 70,000 units are produced by the large foundry over there, and I don't know how many units can be sold before the end of the year." ā€

Zhang Wei pondered for a while and said: "There should be a lot, during this period of time, newspapers and news are all hyped, and Nokia has spent a lot of publicity money, at least 350,000 copies can be sold." "If it is a later generation, let alone 100,000 units, even if 500,000 units, 1 million units, he dares to say, but in this era, mobile phones belong to luxury goods, not to mention that this mobile phone named Nokia 8810 is a luxury among luxury goods.

There was a brief silence in the living room, except for the footsteps of Cheng Lin walking out with the dishes, only the sound of the TV remained.

Regarding the sales of this mobile phone, Zhang Wei is not too concerned, and now he is more concerned about going to the US imperialist side in a while, and I don't know if it will be unsuitable.

"It's time to eat!"

Cheng Lin shouted.

Zhang Wei woke up from his contemplation and found that Leng Yan and Luo Fangfei were already helping to serve the meal, "It's here." He turned to look at his father, "Dad, let's eat." ā€

"It's not all done, what to eat. Zhang Aiguo's eyes were still staring at the TV, "The news broadcast is about to start, I'll wait until I finish watching the news before eating." ā€

"Take a look, can't you watch while eating?" Cheng Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaowei, come here, leave him alone." ā€

Zhang Wei stood up, walked to the dining table and sat down, and when he saw that the dozen or so dishes were all his favorite dishes, he immediately patted his ass and said, "Mom, the dishes you cook with Sister Leng and Aunt Fei are beautiful and fragrant." ā€

Luo Fangfei took the chopsticks and scattered.

Leng Yan put the rice bowl on each seat.

"I'm going to do it. Cheng Lin sat down, "You can't eat such a good meal when you go to the United States after the New Year, and the United States people eat hamburgers and coke, right?"

Zhang Weihan said: "Didn't you have a dinner when you went to the US imperialists last year? Hamburger and Coke are just a fast food at noon. ā€

Cheng Lin blinked and said, "Isn't that a treat?

Zhang Wei was speechless.

Saying that, the four of them ate, and Zhang Aiguo was still watching TV over there.

Halfway through eating, Zhang Aiguo suddenly shouted, "Come and see, Xiaowei, come quickly." ā€

"Dad, I can see it here. Zhang Wei bit the red stewed pig's trotters, and his eyes naturally saw the TV.

On the TV, a man and a woman are talking.

"Nokia has been a hot topic lately?"

"Well, yes, speaking of Nokia, I have to mention the 8810 that will go on sale the day after tomorrow, it is said that the price is 28,888, how many people do you think will buy such an expensive mobile phone?"

"It's hard to say, but our reporters interviewed a lot of citizens. ā€

Let's take a look. ā€

The screen changed, and the reporter was interviewing a woman who looked like a white-collar worker, "Hello this lady, the Nokia that will be sold the day after tomorrow, will you go and buy it?"

"Twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight?" the woman shook her head angrily, "It's too expensive, I may not be able to afford it if I don't eat or drink for two or three years." ā€

The picture is everything, the reporter interviewed a fat man who had just gotten off the Mercedes-Benz, "Hello sir, what do you think of Nokia's upcoming mobile phone?"

The fat man was quite imposing, cleared his throat and said: "This mobile phone is a status symbol, if it is listed, I will send someone to buy it as soon as possible." ā€

Three or four more people were interviewed one after another, and then switched back to the director's screen.

The male host sighed, "This is the information that our reporter interviewed, according to the interview of 100 people, about 5% of the people said they would buy it, and the remaining 95% of the people would not buy it, because it was too expensive." ā€

Seeing this, Cheng Lin ate and sneered at Zhang Aiguo: "Look, no one wants to buy it, and you still spend so much effort on it." ā€

"You don't understand. Zhang Aiguo didn't look back.

"What don't I understand?" Cheng Lin smiled, "I see that you still make fun of my hometown all day long, don't you make much money?"

Zhang Wei didn't speak while eating, his father was right, his mother really didn't know much about this, and the people I interviewed just now were ordinary citizens, and how could these people afford such an expensive mobile phone when they earned thousands of yuan a year? The rich boy or daughter, and the 5% who are willing to buy it in the news are basically rich people, since these potential customers are so good-looking, then Zhang Wei has nothing to worry about.

Just as he was about to turn back to eat, the host on the TV screen said something that Zhang Wei pricked up his ears.

On the screen, the hostess hummed, "Since we talked about Nokia, then we have to mention Motorola, I believe that the audience friends are more familiar with Motorola." ā€

"Yes. The male host agreed, "As early as 1987, the first Motorola mobile communication equipment entered China, we are familiar with this giant in the communication equipment industry, big brother everyone is familiar with it, right? It is Motorola's product, and today, as far as our reporter knows, Motorola held a press conference, announcing that it will be listed in two days later a new mobile phone called Motorola D160, I believe that in the near future, the big brother conference will become history because of this mobile phone." ā€

The hostess smiled, "What everyone sees now is this Motorola D160, which is in stark contrast to Nokia's upcoming 8810, without a gorgeous appearance, nor is it a Chinese digital GSM mobile phone, but Motorola claims that the mobile phone can be used by the whole people, the price is about 8288 yuan RMB, which is a ...... to seize the market with Nokia."

The host on the TV was still reporting.

Zhang Aiguo was a little uncontrollable and shouted, "Motorola did it on purpose!"

Cheng Lin gloated a little, "Look, the business grabbers are here." ā€

Zhang Wei's mouth is full of oil, Motorola's d160 is obviously for the low-end market, it stands to reason that it will not have an impact on the sale of Nokia 8810, but Motorola is bad here, if d160 sells very well, it will inevitably form an illusion that overwhelms Nokia, then the self-developed 8810 will also be affected by the impact of the illusion to affect sales, good things are sought after by thousands of people, only bad things are not many people buy, this Zhang Wei is very clear, shopping malls are like battlefields, Motorola is a good move!

However, Zhang Wei is not worried at all, if Motorola sells a really low-end mobile phone, maybe he will be shocked into a cold sweat, but this D160 is priced as high as 8288 yuan, it is obvious that now the Chinese low-end mobile phone market can not afford this offer, ordinary people can't make so much money in a year, can it be regarded as a low-end mobile phone?

No way!

What about the mid-range market?

That's even more impossible, Zhang Wei knows a little, even if people who can earn more than 8,000 yuan a year will not buy this mobile phone, a very simple problem, now China has no mid-range market, people who can afford to buy big brother are rich people, and people who can't afford big brother, let alone spend more than 8,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone, if it is three or four thousand yuan, it is not necessarily, maybe it will really form a sales frenzy, but unfortunately, Motorola's pricing is still too high.

But Zhang Aiguo didn't think so, he was very worried, and said worriedly: "What can I do about this?"

Zhang Wei was relieved: "Dad, it's okay, it won't affect the sales ......"

Jingle bells.

The words were not spoken, and the cell phone rang.

Zhang Wei picked up the phone, and it was Maria on the other end.

"Wei, is your dad here?" said Maria's voice in a serious voice.

Zhang Wei immediately said: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you know Motorola's upcoming D160?" Maria asked, a little eager, "Last time you had a press conference, I heard Katie say that Motorola was going to release a new mobile phone, but I didn't expect the price to be so low, and it will be released at the same time as the 8810 the day after tomorrow, will it affect the sales of the 8810?" ā€

Are you so unconfident?

Why don't you have faith?

Zhang Wei really wanted to ask them like this, and said confidently: "Miss Maria, if you are willing to believe me, then don't change the release date." ā€

"Why?" said Maria, "The D160 is only priced at more than 8,000 RMB, and the 8810 is priced at more than 25,000, and the simultaneous release is likely to affect our sales." ā€

Zhang Wei didn't know how to explain it, so he had to ask rhetorically: "If the release is postponed, what will the outside world think of Nokia? They will definitely think that Nokia is afraid of Motorola, Miss Maria, is Nokia afraid of Motorola? Sales are just one thing, but it is difficult to say that the brand's reputation will be damaged." ā€

After a long silence there, Maria sighed and said, "I can only leave it to fate." ā€

Resigned?

How can it be!

Zhang Wei said imposingly: "You wait and see, 8810 definitely sells better than D160!" (To be continued.) )
