"That's impossible!" Kristoff exclaimed in disbelief as he stood up. Kristoff was still holding the microphone at this time, so his words were clearly transmitted to the entire theater along with the electric current. Everyone present looked at Kristoff curiously.
"What's impossible?" Boss Jia looked at Kristoff and asked with a smile.
Seeing that Boss Jia had heard his words, Kristoff did not care. He simply said, "With the current technology, it's impossible for a mobile phone's baseband to be compatible with both GSM and CDMA formats at the same time!"
"But in fact, Daqian has already done that!" Boss Jia said calmly.
"Haha!" Kristoff smiled and did not say anything, but his attitude of distrust was very obvious.
"Since Mr. Kristoff doesn't believe in our mobile phone, you can wait until our global Daqian 2 mobile phone is released and test it yourself!" Boss Jia shook his head helplessly, then said to the audience, "The same goes for all of you. If you buy our global Daqian mobile phone and find out that your SIM card can't be used in any country, you can immediately apply to Daqian for compensation. We are willing to compensate you 10 times the price of the mobile phone!"
"So, Mr. Jia, how much is your mobile phone?" A reporter could not help but ask, and the audience could not help but laugh. Boss Jia's face was also a little embarrassed. Yes, he was distracted by Kristoff and forgot to quote a price.
"Just now, the two seniors from Nokia and Motorola both quoted a price of 3,000 USD!" Boss Jia said with a smile, which made the other two very unhappy. I clearly quoted 2,999 USD and 2,899 USD respectively. It's not even 3,000 USD! How can you slander me like that?!
Boss Jia then said, "Daqian has been a company since the beginning. When our Daqian 1 mobile phone was released, the global benchmark price was 1,199 USD. Therefore, there will be no change to the Daqian 2 mobile phone, and the global price will still be 1,199 USD! At the same time, the Daqian 1 mobile phone will be completely discontinued. The price of all mobile phones will be lowered by 200 USD, and they will be sold at 999 USD. There won't be a lot of them, and they will be sold out! "
"By the way, the price of the global version of Daqian 2 mobile phone will be increased by 1,000 USD, and the price will be 2,199 USD. I hope everyone can understand us. After all, the global version, whether it's research, development, or production, it will cost a lot of money. We can only recover our costs if we sell it at this price!"
"Wow!!" After the price of the mobile phone was quoted, the audience exclaimed again and again. After hearing about Motorola and Nokia's price of 3,000 USD, they found out that Daqian's mobile phone was still at 1,200 USD, and the price of the first generation mobile phone had been lowered to 999 USD. This was a price that no one could imagine. It was unbelievable.
As for the global version of the mobile phone being sold at 2,199 USD, everyone directly ignored this point. First of all, most people would not buy the global version. Only businessmen who often traveled for business would need it.
And would businessmen be interested in a price difference of 1,000 USD?
It was impossible!
But then again, Daqian was not making a loss by lowering the price so low, right? Could they really maintain the original price after adding so many features to the mobile phone?
Or could it be that Motorola and Nokia were two inhumane black companies that wanted to make three times the profit from the consumers?!!!
The audience glanced at Motorola and Nokia in an unfriendly manner. Some of them even questioned them loudly in a displeased manner.
Facing the questioning of the price, Kristof raised his head proudly. He did not feel guilty at all because the Motorola STARTAC was indeed worth this price. In order to develop this revolutionary mobile phone, Motorola had invested hundreds of millions of USD in research and development.
During the production process, because the conformity rate of the flip phone was not high, the actual production cost of the Motorola STARTAC had reached about 2,400 USD. He sold a Motorola STARTAC for 3,000 USD. If the profits to the distributors were deducted, Motorola only earned about 400 USD per mobile phone. Kristof did not feel guilty at all. This was a reasonable price.
On the other hand, Olila was a little uncomfortable. In fact, as early as a month ago, Nokia had sent the full set of production drawings and requirements of the Nokia 8110 to Tianxing Machinery Factory. In the end, Tianxing Machinery Factory offered a OEM price of 1,600 USD per mobile phone.
Putting aside the fact that 200 yuan of the profit was given to the distributor, a Nokia 8110 could net a profit of 1,200 USD. Of course, this was an unimaginable and shocking profit. Of course, Olila felt a little guilty. He was really leeching off the consumers!
As for Boss Jia, his expression was very serious and seemed to be a little helpless. After all, the price of the mobile phone was so low that Boss Jia would definitely lose a lot.
But only Boss Jia and Leng Xuxin knew how great the Daqian was this time!
For the Daqian mobile phone that could suppress the production cost of a Qianqian game console to 130 USD, the production cost of a mobile phone was not that high. 200 USD was the maximum.
Originally, when Nokia sold the GSM baseband to the Daqian, the Daqian mobile phone in the GSM format would cost an additional 300 USD, and the total cost would reach 500 USD.
But last year, Nokia, which had made huge profits from Tianxing's OEM, simply licensed the entire production process of the GSM baseband to Tianxing and let Tianxing produce it themselves. Then, the production cost of a GSM baseband dropped from the original 300 USD to 30 USD. The cost was reduced to 110 USD, which shocked Nokia itself.
The previous agreement between Nokia and the Daqian was that Nokia would sell the GSM baseband to the Daqian at a price only a little higher than the cost. So, the final price that Nokia sold the GSM baseband to the Daqian was only 35 USD.
As a result, the production cost of the Daqian dual-version mobile phone was reduced to 200 USD per unit. A Daqian 2 mobile phone sold at 1,199 USD. After excluding the profit of the distributor, the Daqian could still make 800 USD per unit.
This profit was twice as high as Motorola's.
Well, although it was still 400 USD less than Nokia's.
But it did not matter because Nokia received a price of 1,600 USD per unit for the production of a Nokia 8110 mobile phone, but the actual production cost of Tianxing was only 400 USD.
This was because the flip phone was a new model, and the factory needed to introduce new machinery and equipment, as well as to carry out production process training and other requirements, which increased the cost.
Otherwise, with Nokia's current 8110 mobile phone, the production cost would be directly reduced to 150 USD per unit.
So, on the mobile phones sold to Nokia, the Daqian actually made 1,200 USD in profit for each mobile phone sold.
This was equivalent to Nokia earning 1,200 USD for every mobile phone it sold, and also earning 1,200 USD for the Daqian. This was simply the world's number one philanthropist!
But the live audience did not know that. In their eyes, the Daqian mobile phone sold by Boss Jia was definitely the most conscientious mobile phone in history. And Boss Jia really did not sell the mobile phone to make money, but to make friends.
So, our Boss Jia was really a philanthropist!
