Chapter 646 [Lao Mei's eyes are red again......]

The thunderstorm of Lux, the stock price crashed, and its smartphones could basically be announced in advance, which was not expected by the industry so suddenly.

However, even if there is no fuse lit by the HIIB investment bank, the supplier arrears will be ignited sooner or later.

At present, there are a number of major smartphone manufacturers in China, except for the Cote d'Azur company, which ranks in the first echelon of glory and Xiaomi; The second echelon is vivo, OPPO, 1+, Meizu; The third echelon is Zhu Li, Hangzi, and a certain thought.

In addition to this, there are relatively unknown niche brands such as 1+ mobile phones.

At the end of December, overseas smartphone consumers finally looked forward to the release date of Azure-5, and from the press conference to the present, the sales volume in the domestic market has reached 30.15 million units.

Sales have clearly shown a downward trend, which is also in line with internal big data analysis expectations.

Although it is no problem for the current Chinese people to take out more than 10,000 yuan, but after all, it depends on what the money is used for, and not everyone can afford to buy a mobile phone with so much money, the country's 1.4 billion people, the monthly income of more than 10,000 groups is only about 3%, more than 40 million people.

There are hundreds of millions of people whose income is only about 1,000 yuan a month, but now that Internet finance is developed, most young people living in cities are spending ahead of time.

Big data shows that the group that buys Azure-5 mobile phones the most is not those who earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, but the group with a monthly income of about 5,000-8,000 yuan is the main force.

Young people with a monthly income of about 3,000 yuan can only support themselves independently in the current city at the cost of living, or solve the problem of food and clothing, and cannot get sick.

The rent, water, electricity, and property fees are removed from five or six hundred, and the food fee is 40 yuan per day, which is 1,200 yuan a month, and half of the basic expenses are gone.

casually did it, it was basically spent, and the salary was almost all gone as soon as it was issued, because it was still borrowed.

As for the goods of a few hundred yuan, they are all "large", and they have to be considered clearly, and they will not be considered for clothes and shoes of a few hundred yuan.

Once in a while, you have to nibble on instant noodles for a week, or even longer.

However, even with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, there are still many consumers who buy Azure-5.

It's a big deal to suffer yourself and nibble on instant noodles, but X can't help but pretend, this is also one of the just needs, stay up for a few months, by the way, and female anchors also have to continue to reward.

Since the rise of takeaway services such as Meituan and Ele.me in recent years, several major instant noodle manufacturers have been blinded by dimensionality reduction, and their sales are not as good as year after year.

But in recent months, there is data showing that instant noodle sales are picking up......

Over the years, more and more young people have been kidnapped by the so-called "light luxury", "sense of ceremony", "Internet celebrity store check-in" and other lifestyles on the Internet.

Decent in front of people, instant noodles after people is a portrayal of the life of most young people.

Also based on big data analysis, the cumulative sales data of the Azure-5 model is expected, and this product is expected to reach 80 million units shipped in China next year, and the final cumulative shipments are expected to hit 165 million units in the Greater China market.

……

The time came to December 24th, which is the European and American holiday "Christmas Eve", and the next day is Christmas.

The Azure-5 smartphone was officially launched in the global market today, and as early as a week ago, the Côte d'Azur offline flagship stores in major Western cities such as Paris, London, and New York were full of queues.

An offline single flagship store in Times Square, New York.

"A 512GB version, choose the second package." Said a young man with a baseball cap.

"$3,275, is it a credit card or cash?" The salesman asked with a polite smile.

"Swipe your credit card."

$3,275 is the price with tariffs, $2,899 is the price without tariffs, and it is worth mentioning that online payments in North America are not well developed, and basically 90% of consumers are credit cards.

Although there are online payment software such as PayPal in North America, the market share is pitiful, because it touches the interests of the traditional financial industry in North America, resulting in this convenient and fast payment life in North America has not become popular.

"Damn, the Chinese are coming to grab money again."

Diagonally across the store stood two people, a media reporter from CNN, who was conducting a street photo interview, and the North American elite was sour and unhappy when they saw this scene, and Wall Street was also unhappy.

Because the Côte d'Azur is a private company, no matter how hot the product sells, they cannot directly obtain vested interests.

But there is nothing to be done.

Despite the expensive price, it still can't stop North American consumers from pursuing this brand, sales in Europe are in full swing, Europe because of the last negotiations, tariffs have been reduced by 50%, and the 512GB version is 2599 euros without tariffs, and the price with tariffs is 2755 euros, which is much more affordable than North American consumers.

In addition to the biggest beneficiary of Azure-5's hot sales popularity, the Cote d'Azur, supply chain partners are also benefiting, including international supply chains such as Lift Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Qualcomm, and the stock price is also rising strongly during this period.

A small mobile phone, its industrial chain is huge and scary, there are more than 1,000 large and small enterprises around the world are members of its supply chain system, providing supporting services for this product, there are well-known international manufacturers, there are also unknown small business outsourcing orders.

The ACC console as a bonus not only drove the sales of the most expensive 512GB version, but also ushered in a small peak in shipments for this console that has been released for several years.

Good in all aspects, first of all, is the pull of the real economy, only when the economic development rolls up, there is vitality to have consumption power, in order to be a positive cycle.

There is also a complete industrial chain behind the ACC host, and the increase in sales means that many manufacturers can take orders and do their work.

At the same time, it is good for the world's major third-party game developers, and the ACC console user base has grown, except for the direct competitors of the ACC console, everyone eats meat.

The birth of Azure-5 has made a qualitative leap in the performance of smartphones, which has also allowed major third-party game developers around the world to target the business opportunities of mobile platforms.

It is an undeniable fact that today's global console market cannot be compared with the smartphone market. What are the smartphone users?

The eyes of the major game developers are not blind, and even Blizzard, which focuses on the PC side, has come to get a piece of the pie in this new battlefield, and one more channel is one more way to make money.

However, the entry of these major manufacturers has also intensified the fierce competition in the global mobile game market.

Mobile versions of "Final Fantasy", "GTA", "NieR: Automata", "Diablo" and other well-known IP masterpieces are currently available in the AOS Steam lobby of Azure-5.

With the release of Azure-5, the revenue of these major international game companies is also increasing.

The launch of Azure-5 has not only brought new growth points to the Cote d'Azur companies, but also related companies.

……

After Christmas, a report on the first day of sales of the Cote d'Azur-5 phone in North America was delivered to the office of John Bryce, the head of the local commerce department.

"According to an announcement from Cita North America on Christmas Day, the Azure-5 smartphone sold 4.3 million units on its first day in the United States, generating $10.5 billion in sales on the day."

When John Bryce heard the secretary's report, he was immediately shocked and angry, and said, "What did you say? $10.5 billion in sales in a single day? Shocking numbers, this is robbery and plunder!! ”

"Mr. Minister, the Cote d'Azur companies operate legally in the North American market, and we can't stop them even if they plunder, unless consumers all over the United States don't buy their products." The secretary replied with a hint of helplessness.

The implication is that even if you are a hooligan, you have to be indiscriminate, and you always need a reason, even if the reason is untenable, but at least it is a reason.

"You can't just watch America's wealth be plundered and drained by them." John Bryce looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and then said as an afterthought: "The Cote d'Azur should have been rolled out of North America in the first place......"

Seeing that Azure-5 is faster than the money printing machine, Lao Mei is red again and regrets it a little.

"Now it is impossible to drive the Cote d'Azur out of the North American market again, he has more than 1.5 trillion US bonds in his hands, and if we don't admit it first, he will have a reason to ignite this financial ......nuclear bomb," John Bryce said secretly.

After a while, he thought of a way, since he can't kick you out, without violating the previous agreement, there is another feasible way, that is, to increase tariffs to make your products more expensive, and indirectly inhibit the sales of your products in North America!
