Four hundred and forty-one crows become phoenixes
Now, what are the executives of Alcatel Mobile, including Eltian, working so hard for? It is not to listen to some poisonous chicken soup, but for fame and fortune!
It's like a senior executive from Microsoft who moved to another company and gained the aura of being a senior executive of a giant company. Not only did his salary increase a lot, he became a general manager, department head, etc. as soon as he took office.
The same is true for Alcatel mobile phones. Once Alcatel mobile phones can really become a giant company, then Ertian and his group of executives will also become famous, and some companies want to poach them with high salaries!
At this time, feeding them chicken soup is of no use at all. It would be better to just use the American knife and equity.
Ertian couldn't help but get excited when he heard the reward conditions that Song Yang proposed. 2% of the revenue would be rewarded to their group of executives and technical staff. If the sales volume can reach the five million units estimated by Wall Street, then
It’s a reward of close to 50 million US dollars, which is considered a big deal in the entire Silicon Valley!
Not to mention the option rewards, leaving Alcatel mobile phone, now Ertian doesn't even think about it. He is planning to move his family from France to San Jose. Seeing Alcatel mobile phone, he really has the opportunity to switch from a gun to a cannon, and the crow will become a phoenix.
Wow, he couldn't think about it any more, so he chose to jump off the bus halfway.
Song Yang would rather reward the hardware department and the Symbian system, but if only the technical department is rewarded and not the management, then the entire Alcatel mobile phone will be in trouble!
After the meeting, all the executives immediately ran away. Eltian sat down and said to Song Yang, "Today, except for France and other markets, p1 has been sold out in most regions. The demand in overseas markets,
It’s not even worse than America’s own. I think we should increase investment in overseas markets!”
Looking at the sales report in his hand, Eltian said to Song Yang that this time P1 focused on major cities such as America, New York, and Los Angeles, and it did not disappoint the Alcatel mobile phone.
But in overseas markets, the P1 mobile phone also performs well. Originally, Ertian thought that it might not be able to sell much in markets such as Eastern Europe, Hong Kong City, Singapore, etc., but the sales are extremely hot, indicating that there is demand in these markets.
.
Song Yang took a look at the sales report and nodded. P1's performance in overseas markets this time was indeed outstanding. However, apart from the performance of the mobile phone, the most important ones were Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson brands. It was a bit arrogant.
These mobile phone brands now launch mobile phone versions in their own national languages, and they also mainly promote English version mobile phones. As for mobile phones in Chinese, Russian and other regional languages, they have never launched them at all.
The p1 mobile phone, this time, has launched Chinese, Russian, Japanese and other versions of mobile phones. Almost all of them are the first mobile phones to operate in local languages!
"The most important thing is production capacity. P1 mobile phones must increase production capacity to more than one million units per month as soon as possible!"
"Monthly production of one million units?!"
Eltian, who had just picked up a piece of fast food and stuffed it with a few mouthfuls, almost choked and coughed several times before he regained his composure.
Today, Eltian placed an order for one million parts from a group of suppliers. He thought it was already a risky enough business, and felt that it should be enough in the next few months, but when Song Yang came up,
This directly doubled the production capacity several times.
The concept of monthly production capacity of one million units means that annual shipments may exceed 12 million units. Alcatel mobile phones before the acquisition were at their best, with annual shipments of just a few hundred.
Just 10,000 mobile phones. Last year, Nokia's shipments just reached 30 million units, and this year it is expected to reach about 40 million units.
But Nokia, how many models are released in a year, and they all add up to have so many sales. Alcatel mobile phone dominates the world with its P1 mobile phone. It needs to ship more than 10 million units per year, which makes Eltien lose its head.
end.
But I remembered that before the P1 went on sale, Song Yang asked him to stock up more units. As a result, Eltio was worried that he would not be able to sell them, so he only dared to stock up on 200,000 units. So now that there is demand, there is no stock at all!
Ertian, who had suffered losses before, did not dare to refuse Song Yang's proposal easily, but still said, "If this happens, our inventory pressure will be great, and the risk will be great, not only for us, but also for the entire Alcatel mobile phone industry."
This is true for chain manufacturers..."
Alcatel mobile phones don’t just have to pay for themselves. Now the manufacturers who work for Alcatel mobile phones are basically tied up in the pirate ship. When placing an order for Alcatel mobile phones, it is impossible to pay all in cash. You have to give a part of the deposit and wait for the phone to be sold.
Once you go, the funds will be recovered and then settled with those suppliers.
If the machine cannot be sold, it will be equivalent to a thunderstorm. It will not only destroy the Alcatel mobile phone company, but also who knows how many people will be unlucky later.
After hearing Eltian's words, Song Yang said instead, "Perhaps, the monthly output of one million units may not be able to meet the needs of p1!"
Eltian was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. He felt that Song Yang's prediction of P1 sales was even more bragging than those unreliable Wall Street guys.
"In the current mobile phone industry, within two months, there will be no rival to the P1 mobile phone. Without the mobile phone system installed, it cannot reach the technical level and configuration of the P1 mobile phone. No matter whether it is Nokia, Motorola or Ericsson, no matter what model they launch, they will not be able to compete with it."
Compete with p1!"
Song Yang said to Eltian, "After increasing production capacity, the production cost of p1 mobile phones will be reduced. After other brands launch similar products, p1 can add new functions, update the system, and finally reduce the price and promote it!"
Anyway, the P1 mobile phone has no rivals at all now, so it is natural to take advantage of the vacuum period to sell products desperately. When a rival appears, then update the system version, add functions, etc., and finally reduce the price. There is a time lag, which is disgusting anyway.
other side……
When comparing the p1 mobile phone with other mobile phones, first compare the technology. When the technology is the same, just play with the system and functions. When the functions and other things are the same in the end, then the price of the p1 will be reduced. At that time, other mobile phones had just been launched. How could they be sold at a reduced price? Anyway, it was
A time difference.
"After p1 sales stabilize, Alcatel Mobile will hold a developer conference to allow more software development companies to join the Symbian camp, including individual software developers. In addition, we will prepare to develop a new generation of mobile phones. Alcatel mobile phones must keep pace with technology.
In terms of design, it has become a trend in the mobile phone industry!”
As long as Alcatel Mobile can continuously develop several mobile phones that are ahead of its peers, the outside world will naturally have the impression that Alcatel mobile phones are the most advanced and trendy. Even if they no longer lead in this regard in the future, the impression will still exist.
In the era of feature phones, this is enough.
Hearing that Song Yang would ask Alcatel Mobile to develop a new generation of mobile phones so soon, Ertian was stunned. He thought that the development of new phones might start in the second half of the year. Unexpectedly, the P1 had just gone on sale, and Song Yang
It’s time to start developing new machines.
"I understand!" Eltian nodded.
After the single-day sales of Alcatel mobile phones exceeded 190,000 units, it went directly out of stock. Even if the production base in Yanjing was operating at full capacity, it could only slowly increase production capacity so that the daily shipments of P1 mobile phones would be
Reaching more than 10,000 units.
But compared with market demand, this shipment volume is just a drop in the bucket. It cannot even meet the demand of a city in New York, let alone the global market.
Without any surprise, the price of P1 began to be hyped. The global price of US$499 has been directly increased to more than US$700 in some areas. Even so, the supply is still in short supply.
Many mobile phone retailers have begun to hang up their war-free signs and directly post notices on the counter that P1 is out of stock.
The stimulation of p1 demand directly started a carnival. In the next week, the stock prices of Alcatel mobile phone concept stocks generally rose to more than 40%, and some stock prices directly doubled. For example, the small chemical factory stock of Dikler announced that
After receiving orders for raw materials for millions of batteries for P1 mobile phones, and more than 30% of orders for batteries for P1 mobile phones in the future, the stock price exploded.
In less than a week and just a few trading days, Dickler's worth has exceeded US$500 million in nominal terms. You must know that Dickler's family only holds less than 24% of the equity of this chemical factory. His worth is
In the past few days, it has reached as much as 500 million U.S. dollars. A few days ago, the market value of this small chemical factory was less than 200 million U.S. dollars!
In just a few days, Dickler's chemical plant stock more than doubled, and his net worth also took off.
Not only the Dickler family, but other Alcatel mobile phone concept stocks are also crazy to the extreme, and their stock prices are skyrocketing!
Of course, this is the work of Wall Street. Selling an Alcatel mobile phone p1 only makes about 30% of the profit. However, a group of institutions on Wall Street have been making a lot of money by speculating on Alcatel mobile phone concept stocks in the past few days.
Billions of dollars!
The hot sales of p1 have not only driven the mobile phone industry, but also the telecommunications industry. Because of the concept of mobile Internet, the elephant dance has begun. As long as the companies have anything to do with telecommunications, whether they are telecommunications operators or telecommunications equipment manufacturers, the stock prices have soared.
, you must know that these are giant companies, many of which have market values of more than 100 billion US dollars.
In particular, companies such as the Telephone and Telegraph Company and the French Alcatel Telecom Group, which were directly involved in the p1 mobile phone, saw their stock prices skyrocket.
The Telephone and Telegraph Group has swept away the decline in the past few years, and its market value has sprinted towards hundreds of billions of dollars. Since the launch of the P1 mobile phone, the market value of the Telephone and Telegraph Group has increased by more than tens of billions of dollars!
The function of p1 mobile phone to access the Internet has made mobile Internet from concept to reality. Every time a p1 mobile phone is sold, it means one more mobile Internet user. The telecommunications industry can no longer only provide users with phones in the past.
Dial-up Internet access, broadband and other services, now there is another mobile Internet business that seems to be even more profitable.
As a mobile phone card operator that P1 has almost designated to cooperate with, America Telecom has won even more. Its valuation has soared from 10 billion U.S. dollars last year to 20 billion U.S. dollars. Even so, it will no longer be criticized as empty-handed.
