Eight hundred and seventieth chapters have a sense of crisis
As one of the largest telecommunications business operators in Xiangjiang, the Dadong Telecommunications Bureau has had a good life recently.
Although it took huge amounts of money to build 18 signal tower base stations in Xiangjiang, the people of Xiangjiang unexpectedly supported pagers, which made their pager business popular from the beginning, and customer service staff expanded their recruitment three times in a row.
Pagers themselves are also in short supply.
As long as the goods are shipped from the UK, they will be sold out in a few days.
If they hadn't considered the hunger effect, they would probably apply directly to the headquarters, so you can give me 100,000 units at a time.
Zheng Rong, who is responsible for doing this, is naturally proud.
Although he couldn't get the position of general manager of the department, Luo Xier, the general manager of the pager business, still knew the rules and applied to the company during the Spring Festival and rewarded him with 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which was enough to buy an 800 square foot big house!
But what Zheng Rong regrets is that he did not use the money to buy a house, but entered the stock market.
As a result, although the stock market is OK, it is definitely not as fast as the houses. In just over two months since the Spring Festival, the house his wife is interested in has risen by 150,000!
Of course, Zheng Rong has not been in the mood to regret the house these days, and he is being troubled by a very troublesome thing.
Singapore Telecom, just two days ago, suddenly announced that it had also started the pager business. The price of the pager is also 3,888, and the monthly fee is also 100 yuan, but it is a little different.
People use Chinese pagers!
Chinese pagers, according to Singapore Telecom's advertising promotion, you don't have to find a telephone booth and hurriedly ask who made the phone call and what message it was.
The person who leaves the message can directly entrust the customer service staff to pass the message's pager if he wants to leave the message.
Although the word count is still limited to 20 words, this is definitely a very amazing creation!
Generally speaking, at most, if you send an extra page message, you can express the meaning you want to express. Then the person being paged can decide whether to reply in a hurry based on the situation.
Give an example.
For example, my wife made delicious food at night and wanted to ask her husband to come back early for dinner.
As a result, my husband had an English pager. He was running outside for business and was looking for phone calls everywhere to send pages back and forth. As a result, he was out of breath, but in the end he only got such a not-so-important news. It was really funny.
But with the Chinese pager, what he received was "I made delicious food tonight, come back early! Wife."
After receiving this message, my husband must have smiled happily, put the pager back, and then continued to be busy with his work.
All right.
This is the advertisement of Singapore Telecom. It is said that it was the creativity given by Yin Jun. Just such a short story and advertisement, it directly charged HK$1 million.
But its effect is indeed self-evident.
On the first day of the Chinese pager being sold, 22,000 Chinese pager units were sold in Singapore.
What is Singapore’s population?
More than 4 million is less than 5 million!
With such a population ratio, 22,000 units were sold on the first day. What a crazy concept.
Singapore Telecom is not only operated in Singapore, but also has their branches nearby Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
The population of Chinese people in these places exceeds 30 million.
If Singapore Telecom is allowed to do business in these countries, they will make a lot of money!
It is even possible that Singapore Telecom will come to Hong Kong to seize this prosperous market!
Don't doubt that the group of people in Temasek in Singapore have always had a big appetite.
So Zheng Rong was a little panicked.
His vision for the Dadong Telegraph Office is not just a small area as small as Xiangjiang.
He carefully checked the source of the Chinese pager and found that this was the registered patent invented by the Kirin Electronics Company under the Kirin Group. He didn't need to check it carefully. Kirin Electronics had already stated in the promotional materials that he had applied for the patent. Although it had not yet been released, it was already protected by law.
Zheng Rong immediately went to meet his boss Luo Xier.
Rohill naturally knew about this, but he didn't care much.
"Singapore Telecom is only powerful in Nanyang, and it is impossible for us to compete with us in Hong Kong." Luo Xier said, "If you don't mention anything else, the Xiangjiang government can promise them to build those signal base stations? Besides our phones with Hong Kong, who has obtained the qualification? If anyone can enter, isn't this a mess?"
"No, Luo Xier, we shouldn't just see Xiangjiang." Zheng Rong said firmly, "If you don't say anything else, think about Baodao! Baodao has a population of about 30 million, and the population in several major metropolitan groups exceeds 10 million. If we can get the patent and authorization of this Chinese pager, we can go to Baodao to develop the pager business! This is at least equivalent to two Xiangjiang businesses!"
Luo Xier's eyes moved, but he still shook his head, "Treasure Island has Zhonghua Telecom, and there are other telecom companies. After seeing our success, they will definitely develop their pager business by themselves. If we go, it is a problem whether we can grab the market or not. The key is that the expenditure is too large. If we cannot recover the cost, won't we become sinners?"
"Then do nothing?" Zheng Rong said disappointedly.
"No, of course there is something to do." Luo Xier smiled, "You go and discuss with the people of Qilin Electronics and let them give us the exclusive right of Xiangjiang's Chinese pager."
"good!"
Zheng Rong nodded, this is what it should be, "What about the price?"
"1,600 yuan is almost done." Rohill said lightly.
"this……"
Zheng Rong is a pager, so he certainly knows the purchase price.
The pager they bought at the Dadong Telegraph Office was 2,000 yuan per pager, but this was taken by the British Group Corporation and took a part of the profit. In fact, the pager that the headquarters of the pager factory was about 1,500 yuan per pager.
This is still the purchase price of the Dadong Telegraph Office. They did not buy it separately, but bought it together with the needs of the UK. It is a large-scale purchase of hundreds of thousands or even millions of units, so that there will be such a cheap price of 1,500.
Zheng Rong didn't know the cost of Qilin Electronics, but after all, factories in Asia are much cheaper than those in Europe, and their costs can still be saved a lot.
But it is estimated that it will not be lower than 1300-1500.
Only give them 1,600. If you count other people’s Chinese pager patents, they will basically let them sell at a fair price, with almost no profit.
"The price is a little lower? Will this make them rebound?" Zheng Rong said hesitantly.
"So what if they want to rebound?" Luo Xier said disdainfully, "This is Xiangjiang, our territory! Besides, in terms of pagers, who else can he sell Chinese pagers to? We can help them sell them, which is already giving Yin Jun a face."
After Luo Xier said this, Zheng Rong suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, "I understand!"
"What?" Rohill was a little confused.
"I understand why they didn't look for us who were closest to us, but went to Singapore to sell Chinese pagers!" Zheng Rong said suddenly, "It turns out that Yin Jun had seen through our monopoly position for a long time, so he didn't want to come to us to ask us. He directly found Singapore, which has not yet started pager business. There was an urgent need for pager there, and it was a Chinese pager, so they hit it off. Singapore obtained a Chinese pager and Kirin Electronics got the opportunity to promote it!
If I had thought well, Kirin Electronics would definitely be ready to start its own sales in all parts of Asia! Maybe the next step is Baodao! With the demonstration role of Singapore, this Chinese pager will definitely be very popular, and their products will be very popular! Well, it is indeed Yin Jun, it is so amazing!"
Luo Xier looked a little unhappy. Isn’t his subordinates belittling himself by praising others like this?
He coughed lightly, "But what does this have to do with us? If I want to purchase one of them, they can only sell one. If I don't want it, who will they produce it and sell it to? No matter how good he sells it in the outside world, in the Xiangjiang market, don't you have to listen to us? If you are a dragon, you have to trample it, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down!"
Luo Xier has been in Xiangjiang for more than 20 years. This Chinese dialect is very simple and can even use such a common saying, which shows how well he understands the culture of China.
Zheng Rong was amused and crying, "Do you think Yin Jun cares about this little money? Besides, many people are very dissatisfied with our exclusive pager business. I heard that Xiangjiang Telephone Company is preparing to enter the market. If there is really one day when Yin Jun turns around and cooperates with Xiangjiang Telephone Company, what should we do if our Dadong Telegram?"
Rohill nodded, "What you are talking about is the problem. Well...well, there is no reason to add an enemy for no reason. Then tell them 2,000 per unit! First set 10,000 units."
Zheng Rong was speechless at him.
If you didn't do anything, you sold 3,888. The cost was around 1,300,1,400. If you included other people's patent fees, you would only earn so little. Will Yin Jun be happy?
But he also knew that it was very rare to make Rohill give in like this.
If the other party wasn't Yin Jun's company, if it weren't for wanting to make a good relationship with Yin Jun, it wouldn't matter if Luo Xier would rather give up the Chinese pager business.
Anyway, the British Telegraph Office is now the dominant one. If you don’t like to use digital pagers, you must use them too.
So in the end, Zheng Rong didn't say anything.
Only when Rohill saw how popular Chinese pagers were, would he change his prejudice!
Zheng Rong believes that as long as the Chinese pager comes out and the price is still the same, few people will be willing to choose a digital pager in the past.
However, in order to make the previous tens of thousands of users feel upset, Dadong Telegram will definitely increase the sales price and service price of Chinese pagers, so that the previous users can balance it.
After a year or two, another event will be held so that all the previous old users can change to Chinese pagers, which is the best marketing and is more convenient for management.
Speaking of Qilin Electronics, people are really amazing. They didn’t expect to use Chinese pagers, so they made them silently.
Calculate the time, I'm afraid they started research and development as early as the end of last year?
At that time, the British Telegraph Office was still promoting pagers, so they thought of this upgraded version!
If Yin Jun thought of this, then he is really a well-known genius.
If the British Telegraph Office is against him, it will definitely not be a good choice.
In order not to let him hold grudges, after the market is established, it is imperative to appropriately increase the purchase price!
