After deciding on the plan, Wu Kai went to Hang City to discuss the mobile phone rush with Huang Zheng.
However, while Huanyu Technologies was preparing, the mobile phone manufacturers were also placing bets.
"I wonder when Huanyu Technologies' new mobile phone will be released?"
"I wonder what price they will set?"
"I hope it won't be too cheap."
There was only one price butcher in the mobile phone industry, and that was Huanyu Technologies.
Back then, Huanyu Technologies had successfully increased the price of a 1,000 yuan mobile phone to around 300 yuan.
Now, they had increased the price of a 2,000 yuan mobile phone to around 800 yuan.
This ability was simply terrifying.
Although Huanyu Technologies' new mobile phone had not been released yet, the other mobile phone manufacturers were still in a state of panic.
At this time, Jin Zhijiang in Bubugao called Chen Yu.
"Boss Chen, it's Xiao Jin."
"Xiao Jin?"
"Jin Zhijiang."
"Damn, Mr. Jin, what kind of Xiao Jin are you?"
After receiving Jin Zhijiang's call, Chen Yu almost thought that the other party had called the wrong number.
When did he have a friend called Xiao Jin?
"Boss Chen, in front of you, if I'm not Xiao Jin, then what am I?"
"Don't, Mr. Jin, you're too humble. I'm not used to it."
Chen Yu shook his head. "If you have something to say, just say it. I've been a little busy recently."
"Don't tell me you're busy with the mobile phone industry."
"Of course."
Chen Yu nodded. "Previously, in order to deliver the chips to you on time, Huanyu's mobile phones were running out of chips. Look, you've already released the new product, and we haven't released it yet. "
"Thank you, Boss Chen. Thank you, Boss Chen."
Regarding this matter, Jin Zhijiang really had to thank Chen Yu. Chen Yu had handled this matter beautifully, and they were very impressed. "I believe in Huanyu Technologies' ability. Even if it's released a few days later, your company's mobile phone will still be popular in the market."
"Popular for what? We're also having a headache now."
"Headache? How come?"
"Why not? I'm thinking about the price of our phones."
"Boss Chen, how much do we want to set the price?"
There was no doubt that this was the reason why Jin Zhijiang called Chen Yu.
Although Bubugao and Huanyu Technologies were no longer enemies, the two companies were now cooperating well.
But if they were to work together again, they would have to compete where there was competition.
For example, Jin Zhijiang was really worried about Huanyu Technologies when it came to cell phones.
He was afraid that if Huanyu Technologies started a price war again, they would vomit blood.
"About 700 yuan."
Chen Yu did not intend to hide it. Anyway, it would be listed in the next few days.
"700 yuan? That's a good price."
Jin Zhijiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the price.
Fortunately, the price of Huanyu Technologies' new phone was about the same as the market price.
This way, the number of phones sold would depend on their own abilities.
At the very least, they would not be completely destroyed by Huanyu Technologies like how they sank into the cell phone market.
"It's okay. I want to set it at a lower price."
"Ah, Boss Chen, don't."
Jin Zhijiang was worried.
"Mr. Jin, I'm just saying. I want to set it at a lower price, but I can't."
That was really not allowed.
"Boss Chen, you scared me to death."
Jin Zhijiang was completely relieved now. He then said, "By the way, Boss Chen, we have some sales channels in Bubugao. If you need, we can help you sell your phones."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Jin."
Chen Yu did not reject such a good deal.
Everyone was working together to make money.
"Mr. Jin, what did Huanyu Technologies say?"
After hanging up the phone, several people in charge of the cell phone industry asked.
The heads of these mobile phone manufacturers were drinking tea at this moment. As they were talking about Huanyu Technology, they were worried for a moment, so they asked Jin Zhijiang to give Chen Yu a call.
"Fortunately, Boss Chen said that their new phone will be released in the next few days."
"The key is, how much is it going to cost?"
"About 700 yuan."
"Are you sure?"
"Chen Yu said it. It shouldn't be fake."
Jin Zhijiang repeated what Chen Yu said to everyone.
Just like Jin Zhijiang, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Chen Yu probably won't lie this time."
"Yes, Huanyu Technologies is mainly promoting their chips this time. The price of the phones won't be the same as before."
"Huanyu Technologies is still the best. When we were doing cell phones, Huanyu Technologies was doing the Internet. I didn't expect that in just a few years, not only did they become so good at cell phones, they even broke into the semiconductor industry. "
Everyone was full of admiration.
However, they were not as worried about Huanyu Technologies as before.
After all, they were using the Heaven's Inquisition chip, which made their phones extremely cost-effective.
Naturally, they had a lot of competition in the market.
As a matter of fact, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung … these mobile phones had all been losing ground recently.
While they lost the market, the domestic market for cell phone manufacturers continued to grow and perform well.
However, just as the cell phone manufacturers were about to show their strength, Huanyu Technologies' new product, Huanyu Mobile Phone 2, was officially released.
Of course, the launch of Huanyu Mobile Phone 2 was not the main point. The main point was that they changed their sales method.
They originally focused on physical sales, but this time, they focused on online sales.
Of course, online sales were not the main point.
The main point was the price.
It was different from what Jin Zhijiang had told them.
It was not 700 yuan.
It was not 600 yuan.
It was also not 500 yuan.
It was 499 yuan.
When they saw this number, Jin Zhijiang was dumbfounded. The cell phone manufacturers were also dumbfounded.
"CEO Jin, didn't you say 700 yuan?"
"That's right."
"Then what's going on now?"
"This, this, maybe it doesn't cost so much to sell it online."
Jin Zhijiang was also completely dumbfounded.
As for when he said that it did not cost so much to sell it online, this was just him comforting himself.
If selling a cell phone online could reduce the cost by 200 yuan, they would have lowered the price a long time ago.
In fact, their current price of around 800 yuan was already extremely close to the cost price.
The reason why they could still sell it and make money was completely because of the small profits but quick turnover.
As long as they sold a lot, even if they only made 50 yuan per cell phone, it was still a good profit.
In fact, this also proved this point.
It was indeed profitable to snatch some of the market from Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.
However, this profit seemed to have come to an end.
You're still selling it for around 800 yuan?
The other party directly cut the price by half and reduced it to 499 yuan.
To be precise, 499 yuan was 60% of 800 yuan. It was not halving it.
However, when people heard the price of 499 yuan, they would think that it was only half of the price of other cell phones.
"CEO Jin, don't talk nonsense. Let's call Boss Chen."
"Well, it's not very good to call him all the time. Besides, the price set by Huanyu Technologies is their business strategy. We can't say anything. "
"Aren't you on good terms with Huanyu Technologies? Besides, we're all using Huanyu Technologies' chips now. We don't have to fight to the death with Huanyu Technologies like before. The market is so big. Everyone can make money together. "
"That's what you say, but …"
"Stop butting. If you keep butting, we'll probably be finished."
"Okay, I'll try."
He was extremely conflicted. However, for the sake of the market, Jin Zhijiang called Chen Yu again.
"Boss Chen, it's me, Xiao Jin."
"Why is it Xiao Jin again? I said don't be so polite."
"Boss Chen, don't be so conflicted about this name."
"Okay then."
Chen Yu was helpless.
Jin Zhijiang always wanted to call himself Xiao Jin. He couldn't do anything about it.
If he wanted to call himself Xiao Jin, then let him.
"Well, Boss Chen, I'd like to ask, why is your cell phone priced at 499 yuan?"
"Oh, you're talking about this."
Chen Yu explained, "This is the price set online. You know, it's necessary to sell it cheaper online. Otherwise, people won't buy it."
"But Boss Chen, with your pricing, we can't sell our cell phones."
"No, don't worry. We're just doing an event. We'll only sell 10,000 units. After that, we won't sell anymore."
"Ah, just an event?"
"What else?"
Chen Yu nodded. "It's not like you don't know. There's no profit in selling a cell phone at 499 yuan. We're losing money every time we sell one. The price in our physical store is 700 yuan. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. "
"Of course I believe Boss Chen. That's it then. Sorry to bother you, Boss Chen."
Since Chen Yu said so, Jin Zhijiang didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Yu had already done everything he could.
Not only did he give them priority in supplying chips, but he also stopped fighting with them on price.
If you still had any objections, then you'd be too shameless.
