"We have made a preliminary estimate, the cost of a mobile phone with the highest configuration is about 1800 yuan, this cost includes software and hardware, labor, and transportation costs, if we demand more than 10 million units, this cost can be further reduced, up to 1500 yuan." Zhou Junhua quickly answered Yun Feng's question, which was also something he was familiar with.
"So cheap?" Yunfeng was surprised, you must know that the price of high-configuration mobile phones on the market is now more than 3,000 yuan, and the top configuration is as high as about 4,000 yuan.
"This cost price is premised, our mobile phone from the hardware supplier to get the goods, each batch to reach the million level to get the discount, and we have also acquired a lot of basic hardware manufacturers, to further reduce the cost, this is the reason why our cost is very low, under normal circumstances, the cost of other manufacturers fluctuates around 2000 yuan, the cost of large manufacturers will be lower than that of small manufacturers."
Zhou Junhua briefly introduced some of the situations to Yun Feng, these things Zhou Junhua had just come into contact with, and seeing that Yun Feng didn't know, he said a little pretentiously.
"Mr. Yun, these mobile phones are really profitable, and a mobile phone can easily earn dozens of times or hundreds of times the profit when it sells tens of millions of units, which is simply eye-catching." The more Zhou Junhua spoke, the more excited he became, and his face was a little red.
"Is your estimate true?" Yun Feng couldn't believe it, "According to the calculation you said, wouldn't these manufacturers be able to earn billions or hundreds of billions of dollars with a mobile phone that has sold more than 10 million!" ”
"No, Mr. Yun, it's not an algorithm like you, the price of high-end mobile phones is expensive, and the shipments are generally not so high, and the domestic high-end mobile phone shipments are generally in the millions, tens of millions are very few, and their costs cannot reach the extent we estimated, they are all around 2300, and the price will not exceed 3500, the highest shipments in China are still low-end thousand-yuan machines, the profit margin of this level of mobile phones is very low, several major manufacturers are competing for bidding, there is not so much profit margin at all."
Zhou Junhua explained, Yun Feng nodded, this is in line with common sense.
"Is our phone pricing confirmed? Do you have a blueprint for your phone? ”
"The pricing of the mobile phone has not been decided, the style of the mobile phone is still being discussed, there are currently three more mature models, which are three levels of high, medium and low, and the design drawings of the mobile phone are also done, I will show you."
Zhou Junhua walked to the desk as he spoke, took out a tablet from the drawer, opened it and helped Yunfeng pull up the design of the phone.
Yun Feng is a little curious, he attaches great importance to the development of Tianyin Technology, although he rarely comes to the company, and rarely cares about Zhou Junhua's work, but his expectations for Tianyin Technology are very high.
For example, the domestic Xiaomi has grown into a Fortune 500 large enterprise in just a few years, and Lei Jun is known as China's Jobs and has become a legend.
As the first entrance for people to enter the Internet in the future, mobile phones are also a place for businesses to compete for, and the benefits that can be derived from the industry are unimaginable, and it can be said that it is the most important platform for more than ten years.
For example, Apple, a small Apple App Store, can bring huge benefits to Apple.
A small mobile phone is not just a one-time product, and the additional benefits it can bring are the most important source of benefits for these manufacturers.
Yun Feng looked at the design drawings of more than a dozen mobile phones on the tablet seriously, Yun Feng looked at them one by one, most of them were very ordinary, no different from today's mobile phones, only two design drawings made Yun Feng's eyes shine.
A design drawing of the phone is completely vitrified, both sides are screens, the camera is hidden in the screen, the side of the phone is also the screen is overdone, when the phone is lit, the whole phone is like a jewel, it looks very stylish in the hand.
The other is also very tall, the mobile phone is not lit up like a silver card, when the owner touches, one side of the mobile phone is lit up, from silver to the mobile phone interface, and there is no embellishment in the appearance, holding it in the hand is like a thin card.
"These two look pretty good! Look! Yun Feng asked Zhou Junhua with a smile, pointing to the picture of the tablet.
Zhou Junhua has already guessed what the cloud summit likes, he has already seen these two design drawings, but the design is very beautiful and has a sense of science and technology is useless, the process to be involved, the technical difficulty is extremely high, and there is no manufacturer in the world that can make these two fantastic mobile phones, even if it is barely made, the effect is difficult to be satisfactory.
"Mr. Yun, I'm sure you'll like these two designs, but you can't do them with our current technology! In fact, not only us, but there is probably no company in the world that can make such beautiful products! Zhou Junhua said helplessly to Yun Feng, looking a little regretful, he also hoped that this design could become a reality, but reality is reality.
"Is it difficult!" Yun Feng looked at the design drawing with some regret, turned his head to look at Zhou Junhua beside him and asked, "Have you asked those technical experts how many years it will take to realize this kind of design?" ”
"I really asked this question once, and the answer they gave was also very general, about ten years, in fact, according to the information between their words, the new breakthrough in the mobile phone industry still has to look forward to the emergence of another figure like Jobs." Zhou Junhua said with a wry smile, he was amused by what he said.
"Our people can't imagine the design direction of the mobile phone, and can't know what form it will become, just like before the emergence of smart phones, we don't know that mobile phones don't need buttons, direct touch screens, and even mobile phones are not just calls, now you can also play games and watch movies, new breakthroughs in this industry still need the emergence of a genius, we are just one of the ordinary people."
Zhou Junhua sighed, and he couldn't stand it as he spoke, so he couldn't help but sigh a few more words.
"Mr. Zhou thinks that the development of human science and technology needs geniuses?" Yun Feng looked at Zhou Junhua with a smile, which made Zhou Junhua a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Yun, I fell in love for a while, and I sighed a few words casually, which made you laugh!" Zhou Junhua smiled awkwardly, "I don't care what drives the development of science and technology, I care about how to make money." ”
Yun Feng saw that Zhou Junhua didn't want to talk deeply, so he stopped mentioning this topic, returned the tablet to Zhou Junhua, and said: "I have seen the design drawings, they are all about the same, you can look at it, my aesthetics can only represent individuals, it does not mean that the market likes it, or leave it to professionals." ”
"Mr. Zhou, if someone in the company has a good research direction, which is beneficial to the development of the company, you can support some research projects, you don't have to have a headache in terms of funds, as long as he is not a liar, he has real talent and learning, and he wants money to give money to people, I hope that Tianyin's R&D team can grow stronger and stronger, and the matter of recruiting talents should be done quickly, our foundation is still too thin, I heard that there are tens of thousands of engineers in Apple, and I hope that Tianyin Technology will not be worse than Apple in the future!"
