"Are the sales figures out yet?"
"Four million units in two weeks and 2.5 million units in the first week."
"That's a lot."
"Yes, Boss Chen. You don't know how crazy the customers are. If we didn't produce enough, we might have run out of stock. However, this is only the first two weeks. The sales figures after that aren't as crazy. "
"Mm, very good. If the sales in the next few weeks are as crazy, hehe, Tianyu will sell 100 million units in a year."
Chen Yu believed that they would enter the 100 million sales club sooner or later.
However, this was just the beginning. There was a process to everything.
At this moment, Chen Yu was very satisfied that Tianyu Mobile could achieve such results.
It seemed that he had underestimated the power of a mobile phone and a flashlight.
It seemed that adding a flashlight to a mobile phone was not a complicated technology. In fact, this technology was very ordinary and could be made by any mobile phone company. However, what they didn't know was that this extremely simple flashlight had perfectly solved the pain points of countless users.
It was still 2003. The demand for flashlights was very high.
This was because many places would have power outages. Even if there was no power outage, there were restrictions on the use of electricity.
For example, construction sites, schools, and the streets at night.
There were many situations where there was no electricity at construction sites. A flashlight was very necessary for them.
Schools were even more so. When it was time to sleep at night, there was basically no electricity for you.
As for the streets, this was not a decade later. The streets were extremely prosperous and there were street lights everywhere.
In 2003, many streets and places did not have electric lights.
Not to mention 2003, even in 2020, there were not many street lights in the underdeveloped central region.
Of course, this did not mean that they would buy flashlights if there was no electricity.
Even if there was no electricity, they could only endure it.
Flashlights were annoying and not suitable to be carried around all the time.
However, if a flashlight was added to a mobile phone, it would be completely different.
I can go out without a flashlight, but I will definitely bring my mobile phone out.
When there was no light, I could only endure it and even move forward in the dark.
However, now, as long as he took out his mobile phone and used it to illuminate his mobile phone, he could solve countless customers' problems.
Coupled with the low price of Tianyu Mobile Phones, the sales of the mobile phone were booming.
"Boss Chen, what should we do next?"
Wu Kai was extremely excited.
At that time, he was still a little worried that a small flashlight wouldn't be able to handle the user.
However, he didn't expect that this flashlight would play a crucial role in the battle.
"What should I do …"
Chen Yu thought for a while and asked, "Wu Kai, what do you think we should do?"
"Launch the fifth generation."
"That's a good idea."
Although Chen Yu said that, he shook his head. "We've already launched four generations in a row. The product updates are too fast. Although we've gained a lot of market share, we've also exposed a lot of our trump cards. If you were our competitor, what would you do? "
"Copy it completely."
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded. "They just need to copy it."
Although Huanyu Technologies could still release the fifth, sixth, and even seventh generations … they only used the word 'copy', and there was nothing you could do. Of course, this was because the technology was relatively simple. If it was more complicated, there would be no need to worry about this problem. However, Huanyu Technologies wasn't able to come up with any advanced and complicated technology for the time being.
"That's true."
Wu Kai also frowned.
During this period of time, the major mobile phone manufacturers had been copying all of them.
Although they were still one step ahead of the major manufacturers, there would be a time when they would be caught up.
Huanyu Technologies couldn't be so crazy as to update every two weeks.
"Then what should we do now?"
"This … is also easy. Greatly expand the scale of mobile phone production."
"Boss Chen, what are you doing?"
"Lowering the price of mobile phones to the freezing point."
Okay.
Let's change to something easier to understand.
What Chen Yu wanted to do was — clear the market.
…
"Boss Chen, this is the work schedule for the next week."
After Wu Kai left, Assistant Bamboo handed the organized work schedule to Chen Yu.
"So much."
Flipping through the schedule, Chen Yu saw a lot of work and felt a headache coming on.
However, there was no other way.
The company was so big and had so many subsidiaries. Even if each subsidiary only had one task, it would add up to a lot.
"Okay, got it."
Chen Yu sighed and began to browse.
The first thing was to discuss the open source project with Li Biqing.
Chen Yu had been following up on this matter.
The entire design plan was progressing smoothly. Professor Hamm's plan was well received by all parties.
However, this design plan was not the final design of the chip architecture.
This plan was more of a design plan for the chip.
After all, the Huanyu chip was not only related to mobile phones, but the entire Internet of Things.
It could be said that no scientist had ever done this before.
Even so, a group of top scholars still combined a series of experience and technology to compete on the Huanyu chip open source forum. In the various academic exchanges, the entire open source project became clearer and clearer.
In the end, Professor Hamm of MIT stood out from all the other projects.
The second thing was that Nokia launched the 3100, which focused on the low-end market and would be sold next week.
The second thing was not a work schedule, but it was more important.
Although Chen Yu had been competing with the major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, Chen Yu had not forgotten about Nokia.
One had to know that in the era before smartphones, Nokia was the king of mobile phones.
However, Nokia's market position was the mid-to-high-end market.
He did not expect Nokia to enter the sinking market this time.
Nokia 3100.
Chen Yu had a deep impression of this phone.
In his previous life, Chen Yu's first mobile phone was the Nokia 3100.
This should be Nokia's cheapest phone back then, and it was also the most durable phone. It was also one of Nokia's best-selling phones in his previous life.
According to statistics, the Nokia 3100's global sales were close to 100 million units.
Chen Yu went online to search for information on the Nokia 3100.
The Nokia 3100 came in four color versions. Each version had the same function, but the colors were different.
They were red, black, and blue.
The exterior was small and exquisite, and it had Nokia's trademark. The manufacturer also hinted that this phone would only cost 800 RMB. Chen Yu believed that once the Nokia 3100 was released, it would be very popular.
"800 RMB, 300 RMB cheaper than when it was launched."
In Feng Yu's previous life, the 3100 was priced around 1,100 RMB.
Maybe it was because of Chen Yu's influence, the Nokia 3100 was cheaper by a few hundred RMB now.
But if it was in the past, Chen Yu would still be worried. After all, Nokia was such a big brand. Lowering the price to 800 RMB would put pressure on Tianyu Mobile. But now that Chen Yu was preparing to increase production, Nokia 3100 had nothing to fear.
If Feng Yu really pissed him off, he might even destroy his Nokia 3100.
The third thing was that Huawei's Chairman, Ren Zhengfei, had made an appointment to visit Feng Yu next week.
"Damn, it's a big shot."
Chen Yu was incomparably surprised. 'Why is this legendary big shot visiting me?'
