"Boss Chen, do you really want to enter the North American market?"
"Of course."
"But we're not ready yet."
While Pear phones were selling like hotcakes in China, Chen Yu also started to arrange for Pear phones to enter the global market.
The first stop was North America, which was the American market.
However, Zhou Yifei was a little worried about entering the North American market.
"First, our distributors are not fully established yet. Also, if we enter the North American market, our products will be equivalent to imports, and the tariffs will be higher. If we sell them to the North American market at our current price, we'll probably sell them for 10,000 yuan. "
"I've considered this."
Chen Yu nodded.
The reason why he still wanted to enter the North American market was not because he really wanted to do so now.
In fact, Chen Yu also knew that it was not a good time for Huanyu Technologies to enter the market.
Chen Yu's plan was to enter the market in a few years, after the real smartphone appeared.
However, Chen Yu had to make a move now.
Chen Yu wanted those international mobile phone brands to feel threatened.
If they dared to enter the China market, Chen Yu would dare to enter their headquarters.
Even if they might not be able to do much in the North American market, they would at least be intimidated.
Of course, it was not just intimidating them. Chen Yu had his own plans.
For example, the flash.
Before this, the flash was not considered a relatively important part of the mobile phone.
However, after Pear phones became popular, the flash became the focus of thousands of people.
After Chen Yu created Pear phones, he directly removed the flash from the phone.
The price was very small.
At that time, Chen Yu only spent 20 million to buy a company called "Huaguang Technology".
This company mainly produced camera flashes.
However, because of their mediocre technology and fierce competition, they had always been in a state of loss.
After Chen Yu bought them, he asked Huaguang Technology to change their business from camera flashes to mobile phone flashes.
Of course, this technology was not difficult.
As long as one made flashes, one could probably make it in a few days.
But just because you can make it doesn't mean that you can mass produce it.
Especially when Pear phones were selling like hotcakes. If you wait for your own research and development, and then wait for your own mass-production, you will have to wait.
Then your phone won't stand a chance.
Chen Yu wanted to make Pear phones popular in North America. At the same time, he wanted to use Flash as a trump card to deal with mobile phone manufacturers.
If they wanted to follow up, they would need flashes as well.
At this time, in order to shorten the cycle, he had to find Chen Yu.
For the sake of the market, it was impossible for Chen Yu not to provide them with flashes.
But …
Sorry.
I will also raise the price.
…
It had to be said that Chen Yu's plan had succeeded.
In North America, people often took out their cell phones to take photos at night. Sometimes, they would shoot out a beam of light … Under the bombardment of such advertisements, it attracted the interest of many North American consumers.
To be honest, in the face of such a situation, the global mobile phone brands were under a lot of pressure.
They knew that the Pear phone was just an embroidered pillow with nothing but a flash.
However, after some research, he understood that this was due to the influence of social media.
But all these were not important.
The most important thing was that the North American consumers did not understand.
Putting everything else aside, this flash was really f * cking innovative.
Even if the other features were rubbish, this flash was enough.
If this phone became a hit in North America, it would be like a fire in the backyard.
How could this work?
Even if the China market was done for, the North American market could not be done for.
"Let's have a meeting. Let's have a meeting immediately."
Nokia, Sony, Ericsson, and Samsung immediately called for a meeting.
This meeting was not a regional meeting. It was a global meeting.
Pear phones had entered North America. Although they had not started selling and did not know how their sales would be in the future, this was a threat to their most important market.
How could this work?
"What I want to ask is, is Pear phones really that attractive?"
Nokia's General Manager said angrily.
After that, he looked at Nokia's China division manager, Xu Bo.
It was this guy who had set fire to the headquarters.
"Mr. Su Li, Pear's flash is really innovative."
"It's just a flash?"
"Other than the flash, they had also successfully introduced the network factor into the phone. However, these phones don't have much technical content. We can definitely design a phone that's more advanced than theirs. But we need the cooperation of the headquarters. "
Although Xu Bo is Nokia's China division manager, the China division is not responsible for the design of the phones.
So, the headquarters must be responsible for the new phones.
"Mr. Su Li, we have two proposals."
Xu Bo said. Nokia's CTO stood up and said, "One is to design a new phone with the most popular flash. But this is a long process. From design to mass production, it will take at least three months. "
Of course, it is possible to speed up the process.
But this does not guarantee the quality of the phones.
After all, Nokia's competition this time is in the high-end mobile phone market.
If they want to improve the quality of the phones, the cycle must be longer.
Moreover, if they were to redesign it, it would take more time to redesign it than to mass produce it.
"What about the other proposal?"
More than three months is too long.
"That is to improve our current phone and add a flash. I have matched it. Currently, our 7200 is the most suitable. This is my design. Because our 7200 is bigger, there is more room for improvement. "
"How long will this cycle take?"
"One week."
Nokia's design director answered confidently.
Before this meeting, he had already completed this task.
"Very good."
Nokia's CEO Su Li looked at the design director with appreciation.
"But, Mr. Su Li, there is still a problem."
"The flash itself is not difficult, but no company has made a phone flash before. If we cooperate with other camera companies, this may lengthen the production cycle. Currently, Huanyu Technologies has the phone flash business, but I think they will raise the price. "
"It's just a flash. How much can they raise?"
High-end mobile phones have always been profitable.
The manufacturing cost of the components was also relatively lax.
Of course, this does not mean that these companies are very rich. They can raise the price of the components.
But now the situation is urgent. They can only buy it first.
"Xu Bo, go back to China and communicate with Huanyu Technologies about the flash component. If they insist on raising the price, agree first. "
Su Li finished his instructions. Then he immediately said to the head of the technical department, "Pear phones in China are selling like hotcakes. I predict that in the future, most phones will be equipped with a flash. We must get this component."
This is Nokia's side.
In fact, the other global mobile phone brands were using similar plans at this time.
It would take too long to redesign a cell phone.
This is the best way to improve the original phone.
However, whether it is redesigning or improving the original phone, it involves the flash.
Currently, only Huanyu Technologies has the ability to provide a large number of flash devices.
As for what they understood as a flashlight, how much could it cost?
Chen Yu will tell you, I will raise the price until you doubt your life.
