Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 293 Hot Market

A few days later, the four-digit price, just like a lottery, is announced from the last number, and one is updated every day, giving full play to the appetite.

Until December 12th, Christmas, the Western traditional festival is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival, and Xiangjiang will be closed for two days.

The decoration of direct-sale stores in Tsim Sha Tsui East Central and other places has been completed, and Mili Technology also took the opportunity to announce the last number.

Until then, people are still guessing.

The first digit is either nine or eight. After all, the four-digit price, even if it is 9999 yuan, is much cheaper than Motorola's big brother.

However, they still underestimated the strength of the discount. When the answer is revealed, the number is enough to shock everyone's jaws.

As long as 5599 yuan.

Under Lin Defu's arguments, Zheng Yaoyang still agreed to his price reduction request. The PHS, which costs about 2500 yuan, only earns 3000 yuan per unit.

The lower the price, the higher the sales volume. As long as the popularity of PHS is wide enough, telecommunications companies can provide production subsidies.

When the news was announced, overwhelming public opinion once again swept across Hong Kong. The monthly rent is only 80 yuan per month, and there is no need for Internet access fees. Compared with the big mobile phones, the price is almost ten times lower.

Zheng Yaoyang adopts the method of hunger marketing. For each directly-operated store, the regular version is limited to [-] units per day, the special version is limited to [-] units, and each person is limited to two units.

He wants to make the directly-operated stores have long queues every day, which will not only reduce the publicity funds, but also continue to ensure the popularity of PHS.

If there is a long queue at the door of the store every day, even if a penny of publicity funds is not paid, there will be countless taps to spread word of mouth.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. This move also made the scalpers smell business opportunities. On the day of the sale, there was a long queue of one or two kilometers in front of the directly-operated store.

Among them, there are those who really want to buy, and there are scalpers, but the scalpers occupy the majority.

The store opened at ten o'clock in the morning, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 7500 units of the five directly-operated stores were sold out, and even the 250 special editions were sold out.

According to the statistics of the managers of the directly-operated stores, it only took half an hour for the special version with a price of up to 89999, and most of them were bought directly without activation.

Zheng Yaoyang admitted that he somewhat underestimated the power of celebrity influence. In the past [-] days, those who held special mobile phones were not well-known figures in Xiangjiang.

Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and even Zheng Yaoyang himself almost included the top ten of the Hong Kong Rich List.

During this time, they not only attended public occasions, but also participated in many private gatherings.

Using PHS intentionally or unknowingly, what does it make those who still have bulky mobile phones think.

Everyone else has it, but they don't.

Although it is true that the class is not high enough, and there is still a big gap with the top circle, that's why they can't get the gift from Zheng Yaoyang, but they are also famous people in Xiangjiang after all, how can they bear this grievance in their hearts.

Even if the price is doubled, tripled or quadrupled, you must get a special version of the phone.

Everyone else is a local tyrant, if they still get a big brother who is not sleazy, how will they see people in the future.

1989 was spent in the PHS explosion, and all the citizens of Hong Kong ushered in 1990 together.

The first shot in the business world of Xiangjiang New Year was undoubtedly fired by PHS under Zheng Yaoyang.

According to Motorola's statistics, the five directly-operated stores created a sales myth of 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days.

A total of 52500 units of the regular version and 1750 units of the special version were sold, and they ended up being sold out every day.

And according to their investigation, the regular version of PHS is priced at 5599 yuan, and the profit per unit is 3200 yuan, and the profit of the special version is as high as 6 yuan per unit.

It can also be concluded from the data that in seven days, Zheng Yaoyang raked in 2.73 million Hong Kong dollars by relying on PHS.

This is only the profit from the sale of the communicator, and the operator Xiangjiang Telecom is also owned by Zheng Yaoyang personally.

Take the more than 5 units sold today as an example, even if everyone adopts the monthly package of 99 yuan, the monthly revenue of a single item will be more than 500 million.

And this is a starting point, the price of PHS is so cheap, they estimate that the final sales volume in Hong Kong will reach 100 million units.

If one million units is used as an example, the revenue of telecommunications can reach 12 million Hong Kong dollars, which is [-] billion a year.

The whole article was full of sourness, and even through the newspaper, they could hear their mentality at that time.

The emergence of PHS was almost a devastating blow to the sales of their company's communicators.

They are still developing 2G mobile phones. How could they have imagined that the cellular networks of the poor would have such great potential.

No matter how the PHS is modified and the signal is strengthened, professionals can still see at a glance that this communication technology was born out of the PHS wireless local phone.

PHS wireless local telephone technology was born in 1985 and was developed by Dongying NTT Telecom Company.

Due to the worrying signal quality and the inability to make cross-city calls, it can only be used as a derivative of fixed-line phones and has not been widely promoted nationwide. It is also called a poor man's cell by industry insiders.

Although they look down on this kind of rubbish technology, because 2G communication is about to be successfully developed, it is king to concentrate on deploying the 2G market.

But seeing other people turn waste into treasure, greatly enhancing the signal, almost the best substitute before the emergence of 2G, this is more uncomfortable than losing money by themselves.

We can only keep promoting the disadvantages of wireless local calls. 2G digital communication technology is the mainstream in the future. Buying it now is a waste of money. It is better to wait.

However, 2G digital communication technology is only a concept so far, and related products have not yet been launched.

Taking a step back, even if a new product goes on the market, with the urgency of European and American communication companies, it is absolutely impossible for the price to be lower than the current price of PHS.

Being able to make wireless calls in various areas of Xiangjiang has met the basic needs of most people. After all, ordinary people generally only work in Xiangjiang City.

For two weeks in a row, the sales of Mili Technology's PHS have repeatedly hit new highs, and the market continues to be hot. The supply of the regular version is in short supply, and the purchasing power of the special version is gradually weakening.

This situation is also normal, there are only so many rich people, and [-] special editions is the upper limit of Xiangjiang.

The major international communication companies can only watch Zheng Yaoyang wantonly amassing money, and at the same time urge the company's research and development department to speed up the research and development of 2G digital communication technology.

As long as 2G digital communication is born, PHS is a weak point, and it can be used in almost all aspects.

On January 1, Zheng Yaoyang received news that the Nikkei certified put warrants on the New York Stock Exchange will be launched soon.

That afternoon, he found Lin Defu and asked him to go to Aomen to discuss cooperation first, and then go to Pengcheng.

Strive to build a large-scale communication base station in the two places and complete the communication link between the three cities, so that PHS can make cross-city calls.

Even if 2G technology is born ahead of schedule in the future, they can hinder each other's development as much as possible.

Zheng Yaoyang also explained that if Aomen directly acquires a local communication company, he will greet Ms. He's family in advance and let them buy shares in Aomen's branch.

Although Aomen is small, it is also a developed city, and the He family is a well-deserved overlord. They should make appropriate concessions and invite them to join.

As for Pengcheng, we can talk if we can. If we can’t reach an agreement, we don’t force it. Nanxun has not started yet, and the communication industry is more sensitive, involving information security.

Zheng Yaoyang didn't force it, and he didn't want to waste too much energy on this matter, just let nature take its course.

There is also Baodao, which can also start to lay out in advance, adopting the same plan as Aomen.

They donated money and technology, built communication base stations, and invited local wealthy forces to join.

Finally, Zheng Yaoyang mentioned that the expansion of production capacity will target 100 million units in the next three months.

He said with a smile: "Motorola thinks highly of us, and we can't let them down."

Lin Defu nodded. The company still has more than 5 million US dollars in its account, which is the rest of the construction fee for the science and technology port city that was supposed to be delivered last time, and it should be able to cover one or two more cities.

When the funds in the account are spent, you can almost apply for a loan from the bank to continue to develop.

The stable revenue of the telecommunications company is an absolute high-quality asset, and a loan of more than one billion should not be a problem.

After everything was explained, Zheng Yaoyang was ready to set off for the United States, waiting for the launch of the short-selling Nikkei stock index.

He led the team, and when he was waiting at the airport, he received an unexpected call. Li Zhekai, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, took the initiative to call.

When Zheng Yaoyang told with a smile, unfortunately, he was at Kai Tak Airport and planned to go out for a while.

Li Zhekai pondered for a while, and asked, "Is it convenient for you? If it is convenient, I will come to you now."

Zheng Yaoyang couldn't help being stunned, he laughed and said, "Then come here, I'll wait for you at the airport."

He was very curious why Li Zhekai was in such a hurry, and he was not in a hurry anyway, so he asked Zhang Qifeng to notify the airport to postpone the flight and leave in three hours.

After a while, Zheng Yaoyang saw Li Zhekai who was in a hurry in his lounge at the airport.

Li Zhekai apologized: "I'm sorry Yaoyang for delaying your travel plan."

"It doesn't matter, we are all brothers, so it's out of the way."

With a smile on his face, Zheng Yaoyang brewed tea and waited for Li Zhekai's next words.

"I know that Guo Kongli won the agency rights in Singapore and Malaysia."

In fact, the people in Xiangjiang do not know that PHS has been quietly sold overseas.

Almost on Christmas Day, Singapore also started selling them simultaneously, with the same function but a different shape.

Li Zhekai didn't know the reason, but he knew that the two must have reached some kind of deal. Since Guo Kongli could join, so could he.

He hardly concealed his intentions.

"Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, including the mainland market, are mine, while Malaysia and Singapore belong to Kong Li."

Zheng Yaoyang pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Right now, in the Asian market, only Japan and South Korea are left with development prospects. You can choose one."

He doesn't dislike Li Zhekai's initiative to ask for a job, and he can let go of his pride, which is enough to show that he is a character.

He can allow Guo Kongli to join, and he can also allow Li Zhekai to join.

After all, unity is strength, and it is always difficult for one person to fight alone.

"I want the market in Han Country."

Li Zhekai seemed to have made a plan long ago, so he answered very simply.

Although Japan has a more developed economy and denser population distribution, it is more suitable for the development of PHS.

But now that the economy is unstable, domestic semiconductor companies are getting together again, and they don't even know they will die if they enter the market rashly.

On the other hand, Han Guo is loyal and not as ambitious as Dong Ying, so he is deeply loved by Lao Mei.

All kinds of business and technical support have developed rapidly in recent years, and the future prospects may not be worse than those of Japan.

"Okay, here it is."

Zheng Yaoyang was surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look up at Li Zhekai a few times.

The future Han Country chaebol is very famous, but the period of concentrated explosion was in the middle and late 90s.

Now it is in a melee, if the foreign capital is strong enough, it may not be impossible to separate one side.

After all, Samsung Group's mobile phone department just released its first-generation mobile phone last year, which is very weak.

Thinking about it, Li Zhekai made this choice after careful consideration, and Zheng Yaoyang also hoped that he would succeed, after all, the Chinese people in the world are one family.

Zheng Yaoyang talked about the cooperation plan, communication technology can be shared, but mobile phone manufacturing technology, there are two cooperation plans, namely consignment and authorization.

Guo Kongli chooses the licensing model. They produce a PHS, and Zheng Yaoyang charges 300 yuan.

That guy sells much more expensive than them. The price of each set is as high as 7000 yuan, which is almost a [-]% profit.

For 300 yuan, Zheng Yaoyang felt that it was too little.

Li Zhekai pondered for a while, understood Zheng Yaoyang's real intention, and said, "I also want to authorize."

"up to you."

Zheng Yaoyang smiled, and directly provided Lin Defu's contact information, just talk to him about specific matters.

Before leaving, Li Zhekai turned his head and gave him a deep look, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"

Do the market first, then make money.

How much confidence do you have to dare to do this?
Technology sharing can indeed quickly expand the market, but once it falls behind, it is making a wedding dress for others.

Those few times, he was not wronged. If it was him, he thought he would not be as confident as Zheng Yaoyang.

Zheng Yaoyang drank a cup of tea, smiled and said: "No matter how fierce the tiger is, it is domesticated."

"I hope you can always have this confidence."

Li Zhekai didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Zheng Yaoyang's mentality was stronger than his. He felt a sense of admiration in his heart for no reason, and waved his hand: "Smooth journey."

The straight-line distance between Hong Kong and New York is 13000 kilometers, and it takes 16 hours without stopping.

Flying in the sky all day, Zheng Yaoyang was bored and organized a beauty contest for stewardesses.

Huang Huihui, the flight attendant of the plane, is the deputy judge of the beauty contest, and Zheng Yaoyang is the main judge.

Twelve beauties in the air perform on stage, including but not limited to pole dancing and sexy dance music.

In the end, the two stewardesses of Guanya and the flight attendant were decided to sleep together.

The joyful and erosive time is always extremely fast, Zheng Yaoyang slept twice, and the plane arrived in New York smoothly.

Two years later, Zheng Yaoyang came to Prinx Street in Manhattan again. He grew up here, and since he went to Xiangjiang, he has basically never returned.

If counting the time in his previous life, Zheng Yaoyang should have not set foot here for more than ten years.

Their family is not short of money, so the house they live in has been kept, and people often come to clean it.

A simple rest at home for one night, the next morning, Zheng Yaoyang came to Trinity High School, the high school he used to attend.

This is the most famous private high school in New York City, and even in the United States. Many rich and poor people are desperately trying to send their children to study there.

Not only because of the school's reputation, but also because of the strong faculty, and the ratio of teachers to students is six to one, and one teacher only teaches six students.

The small-class education allows teachers to take care of each student, which also leads to a very high admission rate of prestigious schools. As long as students who graduate from Trinity University, the proportion of students entering the top ten universities in the world is as high as 38%.

If he hadn't been called back by his grandfather, Zheng Yaoyang would probably have entered an Ivy League university after graduating from high school, making a little contribution to the admission rate of prestigious schools.

Of course, it is not to go through the formal entrance interview channel, but to continue to use the natural financial ability.

In a real capital country, no school can refuse a son of a rich man to attend.

After studying here for three years, Zheng Yaoyang also met many people, including excellent financial practitioners.

Wei Desurf was Zheng Yaoyang's teacher back then, and he also disclosed the news about the New York Stock Exchange.

If it is said that Zheng Yaoyang has not set foot on the streets of Manhattan for ten years, then Trinity High School has been more than 30 years.

Since leaving here, he hasn't come back, and he didn't know which way the school door opened for a while.
