Chapter 648: Price War, Initiated
Even Lin Zheng was stunned by the vigorous market that came out of the market table after the price reduction.
Since L1 was listed under the banner of "national mobile phone", the production line of Lianchuang Technology has not stopped for 24 hours, but even so, Lianchuang Technology has not been able to meet the needs of the market at all, and the calls received by the sales department every day are two words: out of stock! Stock! In less than half a month, the 50,000 mobile phones prepared by Lianchuang Technology were sold out, but even so, it could not meet the huge demand of the market, as if no matter how many mobile phones Lianchuang Technology invested, it could be digested by the huge market.
Faced with this situation, even the leaders of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications could not sit still: if this wave is allowed to develop like this, can the construction of the GSM network catch up with the popularization of mobile phones?
Of course, this is the leaders are worried, now the construction of the domestic GSM network is booming, the capacity of the new investment is as high as 200,000 per month, which means that the number of GSM digital mobile phones that the telecommunications sector can accommodate each month can theoretically reach 200,000.
But after all, the theoretical number is a theoretical number, in fact, there is still a deviation, if Lianchuang Technology is allowed to sell so crazy, in order to ensure the quality of service, it will inevitably disrupt the development plan formulated by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and this kind of thing is the least favorite thing for everyone.
As the person with the best relationship with Lin Zheng in the ministry, Guan Zhiteng naturally became the person with high hopes from the leaders.
Guan Zhiteng, who came to do the persuasion work, threw his hand at Lin Zheng again and again: "Brother, brother." Brother, I beg you, high master, high master, high master? ”
"It's late." Lin Zheng shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother, haven't you seen it, now all mobile phones have begun to drop in price." Seeing that Guan Zhiteng seemed to be about to complain, Lin Zheng directly gagged him without giving any face: "Guan Si, I know what you want to say, but you must not sue me that you don't know that our competitors are ready to cut prices." ”
"Alas~~" Lin Zheng's words came out. Guan Zhiteng closed his mouth tightly after preparing a stomach, and could only sigh.
Lin Zheng is right, Motorola, Ericsson and Nokia are already stockpiling goods in large quantities. It is impossible for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications not to be aware of the behavior of preparing to use price reductions to occupy the market, they are all people who understand, and it is very boring to pretend to be stupid. Although these words were poked out by Lin Zheng. But Lin Zheng didn't say this, since it has been pointed out by Lin Zheng now, it is simply humiliating to say these words again.
"But do you know how passive your actions have brought us this time?" Sighing, Guan Zhiteng's eyes were extremely resentful: "Do you know how many mobile phones have been sold across the country in the past half month?" 320,000 units! The real 320,000 units, I just know what this number means? Our network construction speed can't keep up at all, right? ”
"You don't come to fool me," Lin Zheng didn't give any face, "I believe in the sales of 320,000 units, but these 320,000 mobile phones are all GSM standard?" I can't see it. As far as I know, Motorola's phones with reduced prices are basically analog signals. The same is true for Ericsson and Nokia, the only GSM mobile phone on the market that participates in this price reduction is our L1, even if we work hard to produce, you can build your GSM network, do you think we can catch up with you? ”
Guan Zhiteng's face showed no signs of redness at all, as an official, being cheeky is a compulsory course, even if the evidence has been thrown on his face, but if he doesn't admit it, he doesn't admit it, but he said eloquently: "Not reducing the price now doesn't mean that the price won't be reduced in the future, who knows when they will reduce the price?" Oh, by the way, isn't your cheap SMS machine also a GSM network! That thing sells even crazier! ”
How did you forget about this? Lin Zheng is also a little embarrassed, compared to the madness of L1 mobile phones, the hot sales of SMS machines in the market have no signs of stopping, since the launch of this SMS machine has quickly won everyone's love, although not being able to call is a small flaw, but compared to the low price, all problems are not a problem.
It's just that I'm embarrassed that it's only temporary, Lin Zheng's kung fu has never been bad, and he immediately stiffened his neck to argue for himself: "I think this is a good thing, you see, since everyone likes GSM so much, you can invest a lot of money on GSM network next...... By the way, I heard that you guys are going crazy on SMS fees this month? Well, I've done you so much, do you want to send me some commission? Lao Guan, we are also friends, you can't be Pixiu, just eat and not pull. ”
Director Guan's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Since the advent of the SMS machine of Lianchuang Technology, the SMS business income of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has skyrocketed instantly, although the charging standard of SMS is very cheap, but the number of users of this thing has increased dramatically, in a short period of time, the income of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in SMS has skyrocketed more than 40 times compared with the end of last year!
Incredibly, the surge in SMS revenue did not trigger what experts described as a fall: a drop in revenue from the call business.
Prior to this, experts swore that with the introduction of the SMS machine, the revenue of the call will inevitably be greatly affected, and after the two are offset, the income of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is actually still a loss.
But the fact is diametrically opposite, the increase in SMS revenue has not led to a decrease in traffic revenue, on the contrary, and the increase in SMS revenue has also led to a slight increase in traffic revenue, this result has shocked countless experts with their jaws: Can anyone explain to me what is going on?
Either way, if this can form a stable and mutually reinforcing relationship, everyone can go crazy: SMS revenue has skyrocketed by more than 40 times, and it looks like it will continue to maintain a strong growth momentum, so doesn't that mean that telecom revenue in terms of traffic will also grow with it?
"Don't talk about this, Mr. Lin, do you really think that our mobile communication market has entered the time of explosion?" Guan Zhiteng asked, this is the main reason why he came today: if this is really the case, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will have to prepare in advance for the next big meal.
Lin Zheng nodded, and did not shy away from saying, "In my opinion, the current situation in the mobile phone market is very similar to when Changhong caused a color TV price war." ”
"Really?" Although the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications also has a similar judgment, but when Guan Zhiteng personally heard this from Lin Zheng's mouth, he still couldn't help but tremble: It is very similar to when Changhong caused a color TV price war two years ago? Changhong officially relied on the price war of the year and established the status of Changhong color TV as the big brother in the domestic color TV market in one fell swoop,Lianchuang Technology also made such a judgment,Doesn't that mean......
Lin Zheng asked rhetorically: "Do you think I will joke about this kind of thing?" ”
With this sentence, Guan Zhiteng immediately closed his mouth tightly: Compared with this, the development of the next generation of mobile communication standards can be a little behind, and it is important to make money without any motivation, don't you say?
"Tell me, is there anything we can do to help?" After a few circles around the room, Guan Zhiteng dropped such a sentence.
"Help?" Looking Guan Zhiteng up and down, Lin Zheng's eyes were full of distrust.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Zheng's eyes made Guan Zhiteng a little annoyed and angry.
"Your government department is a big sieve, no matter what the secret is, you don't have to wait until the next day to hold a meeting, everyone who should know will know, do you think I will tell you what we plan to do?"
Director Guan was choked half to death by Lin Zheng's words!
But he still has nothing to say, the government department can't keep it a secret at all, if Lianchuang Technology really tells the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications what they plan to do, Motorola and they can formulate a targeted marketing strategy that night...... Although Lin Zheng's words are hard to hear, this is the truth, think about the fuck done by his predecessor, you know that Lin Zheng's complaint is definitely not untargeted.
"And what are you going to do?" didn't expect Lin Zheng to be so "faceless", Guan Zhiteng was a little annoyed and angry.
"Not really, but what do you think I'm using your mouth to spread the fake news?" Lin Zheng smiled and asked Guan Zhiteng's opinion.
Fake news through the mouth of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications? Guan Zhiteng couldn't help but shudder, looking at Lin Zheng's gaze a little strange: Who are you planning to kill? But that seems a bit interesting......
――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Boss ......" Steve looked at his boss Owen. Jacob, with worry in his eyes.
Originally elegant and polite at all times, he looked like a gentleman's boss, looking like a university professor and scholar, but at this moment, Steve couldn't bear to look at it: the delicate hairstyle he had combed in the past was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tie hung loosely around his neck...... There is still a hint of professors and scholars there?
"I'm fine," Owen said. Jacob waved his hand, although he looked a little down, but his mind was still very clear, the reason why there was such a miserable situation was just that he was stunned by the combination punch of Lianchuang Technology, "Steve, it seems that we underestimated our opponent's appetite." ”
"......" smiled bitterly, Steve didn't know what to say, anyone with a discerning eye understands that the time when Lianchuang Technology started the price war was after contact with Qualcomm, which is too sensitive, and it also makes Qualcomm extremely passive now. (To be continued......)
