Chapter 733: It's hard to find

As soon as the Kirin mobile phone was released, it shook the whole world. Even though Kirin phones only support the GSM standard 2G network, and the issue of compatibility with 1G networks has not been considered. Nonsense...... If it is compatible with the 1G network, it is necessary to pay the patent fee according to the 1G patent manufacturer, and with the popularization of the 2G network, the mobile phone of the 1G network and 1G analog communication has withdrawn from the historical stage and has entered the countdown.

Moreover, 1G mobile phones do not have any value-added services that can be tapped except for making calls. Even the SMS function does not exist, the SMS function seems to be 92 years, GSM mobile phones show their strength, show their muscles, and make 1G mobile phones tremble for the first time. The SMS function has enabled operators and content providers to have new profit points, for example, the later paid MMS model, MMS downloads some music, books, weather forecasts, etc., and charges some value-added service fees.

Of course, these business models are not the final form of the mobile Internet, and the final form is that the mobile Internet becomes a better network than the traditional Internet. Basically, most of the commonly used web services can be found on mobile phones.

Because the Kirin mobile phone is so powerful, the toothpaste that will be squeezed out by the 2G mobile phone manufacturer for at least seven or eight years in the future is squeezed out in advance. It can be said that the current Kirin mobile phone, in addition to the hardware configuration and because of the relatively low factor of the times, can not operate larger programs, and can not store many files and data, there are no other defects in the function. Even in terms of hardware configuration, in the same era, it is to beat all mobile phones!

"Do you sell Kirin mobile phones here?" In the first-tier cities in China, users who have just opened GSM phones have gone to the operator's business hall to inquire about mobile phones.

"I'm sorry, we are an operator, we provide network services but do not produce mobile phones, GSM base stations, we have them. Kirin mobile phones should not be mass-produced at present, and only a few stores of Xinchuang Electronics Group have display samples. Even if there are some that are sold, it is difficult to grab them. The service staff of the operator was also helpless, "Why don't you buy some Nokia 1011 mobile phones?" It can support the GSM network and has advanced SMS functions. ”

"Come on, the SMS function is still advanced? The domestic Kirin mobile phone can already access the Internet. ”

"Okay, we'll report your feedback to the company, maybe the company will place an order with the new startup, and then the business hall can buy the Kirin phone. ”

In fact, not only consumers are rushing to buy, but the three major operators of China Telecom, Unicom and China Mobile are all frantically asking if they can place orders.

However, at present, Kirin mobile phones are not ready to be sold through the channels of operators, but only unhurriedly engaged in 10 experience stores in China, and dozens of samples of Kirin mobile phones are placed in each experience store. However, it is not sold to the outside world, but only consumers can temporarily feel the experience of Kirin mobile phones in the experience store.

At the same time, Tesco provides a limited purchase channel, only for domestic real-name registered users for delivery, and the delivery address is also limited to cities in China that have opened GSM base station services.

As a result, in just a few days, Kirin mobile phones have brought hundreds of thousands of active users to Tesco, however, Tesco only provides 200 mobile phones per day for the market to snap up. Every day, at 0:00 and 12:00, 100 units will be sold each.

The time period of each sale, is tens of thousands of users to rob, but basically the second is empty, the probability of being able to buy is about one in a few thousand, you can be lucky to buy, it can be called the lottery in general.

At the same time, the 1999 yuan Kirin mobile phone is also earned, on October 17, the price of black market scalpers is still 3999 yuan, and after that, it is a rhythm of 1000 per day.

Many consumers exclaimed: "It's better to speculate on stocks than on mobile phones, and to make a fortune depends on Kirin!"

It can be said that it is possible to sell a Kirin mobile phone now and sell it for tens of thousands of yuan.

Mr. Lin...... Kirin mobile phones are currently empty in seconds, and I estimate that even tens of thousands of one-day shipments can be digested by the market. Li Ruoxi asked, "Do you want to sell at a higher price?"

"No need!" Lin Qi pointed to the followers of the Kirin mobile phone brand self-operated store that had been newly registered on Tesco online for a few days, "In just a few days, there have been 100,000 users who have followed, and basically, there are tens of thousands of active users every day." The average amount of funds deposited by these users is far higher than the average of Tesco. Tesco.com, the vast majority of users, perennial accounts have less than 100 balances. These users rarely have a balance of less than 2,000 yuan at present. ”

"It's all about rushing to buy Kirin phones. Li Ruoxi was thoughtful.

"That's right! What if the price of Kirin mobile phones rises at present, the communication baseband will not be able to produce itself until next year. Now, we are steadily increasing our production capacity and striving to produce our own GSM baseband as soon as possible. Lin Qi smiled and said, "As a newcomer to the mobile phone and mobile communications industry, we don't need to pay attention to market share and shipments from the beginning. The key is that our innovation ability, patent ability and ability have always been able to attract market attention and design products that are recognized as popular vanes. The Kirin generation, we have to look more at the shortcomings, and the market feedback on our deficiencies should be paid more attention. Don't be fooled by compliments. ”

Even in later generations, some tablets that do not have a communication baseband and cannot make calls are far cheaper than mobile phones that can make calls. The main reason is that the communication baseband is connected to a bunch of networks, and patent fees must be paid. The more networks Netcom is compatible, the more money you need to pay to the patent company.

In later generations, companies like Qualcomm sold SOC substrates, including motherboards including CPUs and communication basebands, and at the same time, the pricing also included patent fees. Buying this kind of family bucket, a bunch of hardware and patents bundled sales, the cost is cheaper than purchasing alone, resulting in insufficient patent reserves of manufacturers, not allowed to purchase Qualcomm's SOC substrate, because, even if you use other people's hardware, as long as you can't bypass Qualcomm's patents, you still have to pay money to Qualcomm.

Now the communication substrate of the new venture electronics company is also to pay the basic patent fee to the GSM standard setter, but because Lin Qi wasted the boss's strength, the total amount of these patent fees is not more than 3% of the retail price of mobile phone hardware, not only the new entrepreneurship department benefits, but also, the entire domestic manufacturers, the patent fees are relatively low, of course, even if this enters the mobile phone and base station manufacturing industry, the threshold is not low, so, even if the patent fee threshold is reduced, it is estimated that only a few companies in China can play this industry.

After all, the number of high-end scientific and technological talents in China is incomparable with that of the 21st century. In the future, more than 5 million college graduates will graduate every year. Coupled with hundreds of thousands of higher-level talents, a steady stream of highly educated talents is continuously supplied to the market every year, so that the average quality of China's labor force is far higher than the global average. Even in the United States, more high-end talents in the United States are attracted to the United States by relying on overseas talents, but in fact, the United States' ability to grow endogenously and cultivate talents on its own is far from sufficient compared with China. More achievements of the United States do not rely on the advantage of talents, but have been accumulated and broadened in the past, and even if it is to lose, it will take many years, and the good economic conditions make the United States have the charm to attract talents.

However, in the long run, it is the real royal road to cultivate talents independently, improve the average quality of the local population year by year, and become stronger from generation to generation, and higher from generation to generation.

All in all, making mobile phones and communications is not only about the market share on the surface, but also about the patent reserves and technical standards that are not realized by ordinary consumers.

In fact, Nokia and other companies that rose by the moat of GSM patent standards in the later 3G and 4G eras, after the GSM standard lost its position, cooled down.
