"I'm afraid this is the cheapest mobile phone released this year!"
"Not only is it the cheapest, but it also has the most functions and looks the best. Oh my god, Daqian is going to destroy the entire mobile phone industry!" Almost everyone in the audience exclaimed at the low price of the Daqian 3.
Not to mention a newly released flagship mobile phone, even a mobile phone model that was two or three years behind would not be this cheap!
This price had really broken the bottom line of the entire mobile phone industry.
"Everyone must be curious as to why the Daqian 3 is so cheap this time!" Boss Jia looked at the audience below the stage and said loudly, "The reason is very simple. It's because I have a dream. I dream that everyone on Earth can have their own mobile phone!"
"In order to realize this dream, Daqian Mobile has decided to get the lowest price and the lowest profit, so that everyone on Earth can afford to buy the best mobile phone of this era!"
Boss Jia's words caused a burst of warm applause from the audience, especially from many mobile phone fans. They were so excited that they applauded wildly.
Regardless of whether Boss Jia's words were true or false, the price of the mobile phone had indeed been lowered. Moreover, it had been lowered to the extent that it had broken the bottom line. Such a mobile phone manufacturer must be applauded greatly. Otherwise, whose mobile phone prices would be lowered in the future?
The mobile phone manufacturers who were watching the live broadcast cursed the Daqian company for being crazy. They cursed the Daqian company for not caring about the ecology of the entire mobile phone industry and for ruining the entire mobile phone industry.
It was easy to lower the price of a mobile phone to 999 USD per unit, but it would be extremely difficult to regain the price of 2000 USD per unit. The Daqian company was simply a butcher and a traitor to the mobile phone industry.
For a moment, both Motorola and Nokia wanted to kill Boss Jia.
In fact, even within the Daqian company, many people were very dissatisfied with Boss Jia's pricing strategy.
This price was really too low. Even if it was priced at 1199 USD per unit, the users would still be able to accept it. Why would they lower the price by 200 USD per unit? This was too illogical.
This was Boss Jia's explanation.
He said that in the future, mobile phones would definitely become a tool that was more popular than flashlights. Mobile phones would become the world's largest commodity market. Whoever could control the mobile phone market would be invincible in the future.
If they wanted to popularize mobile phones, even if the price was above 1000 USD, it was absolutely impossible to popularize them. As long as the price of mobile phones was lowered, they could truly occupy the mobile phone market.
Even if they did not lower their prices, in the future, Nokia, Motorola, and other mobile phone companies would lower their prices to this limit or even lower.
Even now, Nokia has a phone that costs only 599 USD per phone.
Although this was an old phone from a few years ago and its functions were very limited, it could still make calls. This was enough for a phone.
Rather than waiting for Nokia and Motorola to lower their prices and take over the market, Feng Yu might as well do it himself and take over more of the market!
Unfortunately, many people did not believe Boss Jia's words. They felt that mobile phones were high-end products, and it was impossible for everyone to have one. At most, they could sell around 10 million units a year.
If that was the case, lowering the price by another 200 USD would undoubtedly cut into their own profits, and they would also offend other mobile phone companies. This was really a terrible decision.
However, Boss Jia's will was the will of the Daqian. No one could go against Boss Jia's will. Therefore, the new price policy was successfully introduced.
Of course, these people did not know that in the other world, mobile phones entered the Hua Xia market on a large scale after 2000. Even Nokia's latest flagship mobile phone was only about 7000 RMB, which was equivalent to 900 USD.
Therefore, Boss Jia's price reduction policy was very normal and very wise.
Moreover, under the glamorous Daqian 3, the Daqian 2 and Daqian 1 phones were not discontinued (although the Daqian 1 had been announced to be discontinued). However, in the market, the price of the Daqian 2 phone had been lowered to 599 USD, and the price of the Daqian 1 phone had been lowered to 399 USD.
It was equivalent to 5000 RMB and 3200 RMB respectively.
These two old models were still on sale, and they were even being mass produced. The purpose was quite clear, that was, Boss Jia intended to use these two phones to further occupy the low-end market.
This was also the strategy that Nokia would use in the future.
Their high-end mobile phones were still sold at about 7000 RMB, which was a price that many Hua Xia people could not accept.
However, many old models of mobile phones that were released a few years ago had their prices reduced to around 3,000 yuan or even 2,000 yuan. This made it possible for many poor people to buy mobile phones.
At the same time, a complete product chain was built, from low-end to high-end, with various models and prices, which could fully satisfy the needs of various users. Nokia also relied on this policy to become the world's number one mobile phone manufacturer in one fell swoop.
Of course, this strategy was also borrowed by our Boss Jia without hesitation.
And for mobile phones, the more produced, the lower the cost.
This was because the various components needed for a mobile phone would decrease over time. In addition, a lot of the cost of mobile phones was in the initial model, so as long as there were more produced, the cost would be spread out, and naturally, the profits would be higher.
At this moment, according to Star Mechanical's report, the production cost of Daqian 1 had been reduced to 152.83 USD, and the production cost of Daqian 2 had been reduced to 213.25 USD.
In this way, even if the prices of these two mobile phones were reduced to a very low level, the profits would still be more than double.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat, not to mention that this was not a mosquito, but a fly!
However, Boss Jia did not intend to lower the price of Daqian's new flagship mobile phone. The price of the latest mobile phone released every year would be fixed at 999 USD, and would not change.
If the price was really lowered, then Daqian mobile phone brand would probably be a low-end mobile phone brand for the rest of its life.
On the other hand, Daqian 1 would be withdrawn from the market when Daqian 4 was released in 1998, and would no longer be produced. Daqian 2 would be reduced to the price of Daqian 1, and Daqian 3 would be reduced to the price of Daqian 2. This cycle would continue, ensuring that Daqian mobile phones would remain in the entire mobile phone product chain and price chain.
