How much did a Huanyu Super TV cost?
Of course, the price had to be announced.
If it was just a 45-inch LCD screen with voice control, the price would be 15000 yuan.
This price was much cheaper than Samsung's and Panasonic's Plasma.
However, Universal Television sold different versions, such as the karaoke version.
This was slightly more expensive than the basic version. It cost 18000 yuan.
The game version also cost 18000 yuan.
The supreme version.
That was the game + karaoke + voice control … That would be 21000 yuan.
How to describe this price?
It was slightly more expensive.
It couldn't be helped.
Large-sized LCD screens hadn't become popular yet. Although the price of the panel had been dropping, it was still extremely expensive.
This was also why Panasonic's Plasma cost 19999 yuan and Samsung's 60-inch LCD TV cost 18999 yuan.
It wasn't that they didn't want to lower the price. It was just that production hadn't increased and they couldn't lower it at all.
In fact, whether it was Panasonic's Plasma or Samsung's 60-inch LCD TV, this was already the price after they lowered the price.
In their words, there was basically no money to be made from this price.
As for why they still sold it if there was no money to be made.
It was just to open up the market in the early stages.
As long as the market was opened up and production increased in the future, this market could be created.
For Huanyu Electronics.
It was the same.
In fact, Huanyu Electronics' production cost was lower than Panasonic's and Samsung's.
Although Huanyu Electronics had acquired Beijing Oriental, Beijing Oriental could only produce small LCD panels at the moment.
A small LCD panel could be used in a notebook or netbook.
However, when it came to large TVs, it simply couldn't be done.
Therefore, if Huanyu Electronics wanted to make a Super TV, they had to purchase the panels from Samsung.
Just think about it.
Samsung's own large LCD panels were already so expensive. Huanyu Electronics' cost to purchase them was even more expensive.
Moreover, Huanyu Electronics' production cost wasn't just the panels. It also involved a series of other electronic components.
For the sake of karaoke, for the sake of gaming, and for the sake of realizing these functions, the cost of these electronic components alone exceeded that of an ordinary television. In addition, they still had to research and develop the television system. Although they had Huanyu Technologies' support in this area, research and development still required money.
Therefore, even though Universal Television only had a 45-inch screen, it was still very expensive.
Because of this, when Huanyu TV announced the price of the four versions, the crowd wasn't as excited as before.
A price of over 21000 yuan for the Supreme Edition was not something an ordinary person could afford.
As for the 15000 yuan basic version, he only had one function, which was voice control.
Although this function was not bad.
However, they were also very interested in karaoke and games.
If any of the functions were added, it would cost at least 18000.
"That was close."
When Huanyu Electronics announced the price of its Super TV, the other TV manufacturers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they knew that Universal Television was indeed very amazing.
But no matter how amazing it was, when the price was too high, people would still consider it.
Just like now.
After the announcement of such a price, the people who were incomparably excited also calmed down.
This did not mean that no one would buy it.
Some of them came from well-to-do families and were fanatics. They didn't care about the price at all.
Therefore, more than a dozen consumers placed orders for the Supreme Edition of Huanyu's Super TV on the spot.
However, more than a dozen consumers were too small a group. They were far from being able to influence the general public.
Of course, they also knew that it was not that Huanyu Electronics did not want to lower the price.
It was that Huanyu Electronics was the same as them. The price could not be lowered at all.
How much could you lower for a TV that cost ten to twenty thousand yuan?
It was useless to lower it by a few hundred yuan.
If it was lowered by a few thousand yuan, it would be a loss of a few thousand yuan per unit. Which manufacturer could withstand that?
"Let's go back."
They did not continue to stay in Universal Television's exhibition area. The people in charge of the TV manufacturers prepared to go back and digest it.
Although Universal Television's price was a little expensive now, if they were given time, they would be their strongest competitor.
They had to hurry up and do research on Universal Television.
For example, its exterior design.
Its narrow frame.
Of course, there was also its voice control, karaoke system, game system …
These things didn't seem difficult to do, but his concept was incomparably advanced.
At the same time, they also felt that this was far from as simple as it seemed.
…
"Boss Chen, it seems that everyone still thinks that our price is a little high."
The China Television Product Exhibition ended after a day of exhibition.
On the other hand, Huanyu TV had mixed feelings.
They were happy that their Super TV had become the most popular product in the exhibition area.
They were worried that the price seemed to be a little high.
This also made Liu Zhihong a little worried.
Although Liu Zhihong had a position in the government, he was also the CEO of Huanyu Electronics.
Moreover, after Huanyu Technologies acquired Fuori colour TV, Liu Zhihong found that the entire TV factory had been completely transformed.
At this time, Huanyu Electronics was no longer the company that had neither the technology nor the funds it used to be.
Now, Huanyu Electronics had the support of Huanyu Technologies. Everyone in the factory was working very hard.
This also affected Liu Zhihong.
Especially the success of their Super TV. Although it did not have much to do with Liu Zhihong, it gave Liu Zhihong a sense of accomplishment.
This sense of accomplishment was much better than working in the government.
Sometimes, he wished that he could quit his job and devote himself to the production of Universal Television.
"It's a little high, but we can't lower the price for a while."
Chen Yu also nodded.
However, Chen Yu was not worried at all. "Director Liu, don't worry. There are a lot of rich people in the country. Although our price is high, it's not much of a burden for them. "
"But the problem is that these rich people may not necessarily buy our Super TV."
"Who says they won't buy it?"
Chen Yu said, "Director Liu, don't forget that we have our own sales channels."
Liu Zhihong was stunned when he heard this.
Immediately, his heart was filled with excitement.
Yongle Home Appliances and Dazhong Home Appliances, these two home appliance giants, were acquired by Huanyu Technologies.
Of course, this was also the reason why Chen Yu dared to set such a high price.
It was not that Chen Yu really thought that these rich people would buy their products.
If they did not have their own sales channels, even if they set a price of 10,000 yuan, the users would think that it was too expensive, let alone 21000 yuan.
However, what if he placed his Super TV in the most attention-grabbing position of all the major home appliance stores in the country?
This was not something that ordinary home appliance manufacturers could do.
Even the home appliance giants in the country could not do it.
It was not that they did not have the ability, but around 2000 to 2010, the sales channels had always been very powerful.
Even in the future, the sales channels were one of the key factors for a product to sell well.
