Li Wenjun advertised in major newspapers and TVs in Guangdong Province. The handsome guy called the beautiful girl coolly and asked her to go out to watch a movie. Then ten minutes later, the two of them were hugging each other in the cinema to watch the movie.
Then the slogan is: If you only had a pager, now you would still be looking for a landline phone to reply text messages.
What a loss, what a loss!
At the same time, his mobile phone sales halls were opened in all prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province at the same time. The price of mobile phones was as low as 1,500, which was cheaper than pagers.
Then this is obviously a loss-making transaction. What on earth does Li Wenjun want to do?
However, Li Wenjun only provides 100 units per city, while supplies last.
This triggered a wave of panic buying, and a hundred units were sold out in one day.
Then someone asked again, it was out of stock and they needed to make a reservation.
The reservation must be based on the original price, plus a hundred yuan for jumping in line, and in the end it will cost at least two thousand to buy it.
When everyone heard that they wanted to restore the original price and add money, forget it.
Anyway, there are pagers now, and they are pretty good to use.
So the mobile phone sales hall suddenly cooled down again.
There are so few people around...
Yang Shouzhuo called Li Wenjun: "Will this method work? If only a hundred people in each city use mobile phones to pay phone bills, let alone making money, the cost of base station upgrades will not be recovered."
Ever since I started working with this bastard, every day has been like a roller coaster ride, full of joys and sorrows, or with a broken heart.
Even if the base station is not taken into account, in Li Wenjun's own sales hall, there are three or four beautiful salesmen chasing flies every day, and the monthly cost is thousands.
Li Wenjun smiled: "Don't worry, this is the silence before the spring bamboo shoots break through the ground. As long as the time comes, no one can stop it."...??m
Yang Shouzhuo snorted: "I'm afraid your bamboo shoots will be suffocated in the soil and won't grow."
The "Northern Group" was relieved. It was indeed impossible for Li Wenjun to sell all the mobile phones at a loss.
This thing is not like a car. You can sell a new car at a cheaper price and then make money by selling the parts at a high price.
Li Wenjun also has no way to share the profit from the phone bill, so the mobile phone is a one-time purchase and sale, and it is impossible to sell it at a discount in the long term no matter how you think about it.
Then all base stations in Guangdong Province started operating at the same time, and the difference between mobile phones and pagers became obvious.
The mobile phone can answer calls at any time, and two people can explain things clearly in three minutes.
Pagers can only receive messages. If you want to tell someone something, you have to find a place to call a paging station.
If things are more complicated, just call.
If you're in a place without telephones, pagers are useless.
The key mobile phone can also send messages, play Snake and Tetris games, set alarm clocks, select ringtones, read novels, and has a cool design.
It's more than a little more convenient than a pager.
Since the prices are the same, I definitely want a mobile phone!
The number of people in the mobile phone sales hall gradually increased.
I thought that after waiting for a month, I wouldn’t need to pay more.
The result is still the same.
Many people think about it, add it, they already have two thousand yuan, do they still care about the one hundred yuan?
Mobile phones are really easy to use.
Then Li Wenjun took the opportunity to launch a higher-end mobile phone.
The ones with cooler looks and larger screens sell for 3,000 to 4,000.
No need to pay extra, it’s in stock.
There are many rich people in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, so the sales of high-end mobile phones are better than those of low-end ones.
Pager sales plummeted in Guangdong Province.
Soon the base stations in Beijing, Haicheng, Suzhou, and Hebei provinces will also be upgraded.
Although it is not yet possible to make mobile phone calls in any rural or mountainous area, mobile phone calls are basically available in big cities.
Li Wenjun's routine in these places is the same as in Guangdong Province.
First, there will be a discount for a limited edition of 100 units, and then the original price will be restored. Cheaper models will be priced at a premium, and high-end models will be available in unlimited quantities.
Employees of "Wenjun Industrial" and employees of cooperative units can purchase at a 30% discount.
It's just that other cities never stayed quiet for a month like Suicheng, but they immediately sold out.
Li Wenjun was like playing Go, eating up the pager's territory piece by piece, but the "Northern Group" was unable to do anything.
The "Northern Group" tried to prevent other provinces from constructing base stations from above, saying it was too aggressive and inconsistent with the current national conditions.
But other provinces feel that they have been left behind in many aspects, such as highways, logistics, and manufacturing.
Now we have to force them to even upgrade a base station, which is absolutely not possible!
This is obviously a chicken that can only lay golden eggs. As long as you invest once, you can continue to charge phone bills with a small maintenance fee in the future.
Even if you try to sell iron, you have to go up!!
Besides, isn’t there financial support from Li Wenjun?
Anyway, only he can make mobile phones now, and his exclusive sales agreement has no impact on the province or city.
So regardless of whether the above is accurate or not, Hunan Province was the first to start upgrading base stations, and then other provinces immediately followed.
Li Wenjun's mobile phone sales hall is like a flood, slowly infiltrating and submerging all areas.
By the end of the year, except for a few relatively backward provinces, basically all of them will have access to 2G signals.
Li Wenjun's mobile phone sales in the past six months have exceeded 100 million.
Doing the math, in the one year since he sold the pager to the "Northern Group", the sales profit of the pager has only been about 50 million.
It's like he didn't suffer any loss at all.
Only then did everyone realize how wise Li Wenjun’s decision was.
If he doesn't sell the pager, he will postpone the upgrade and price reduction of his mobile phone to a year at most.
For him, the result is the same.
For the "Northern Group", it was a waste of effort to open two factories and spread such a large presence across the country.
Now that the sales of pagers have dropped sharply, it is a joke to have such a big pager factory.
The "Northern Group" beat their chests and feet, and were so angry that they vomited blood.
Fifty million! What a sin!
Li Wenjun asked them to haul away the waste for him, and also blackmailed them for 50 million.
There is no other way but to reduce the scale of production and lay off employees.
Just like those employees at the washing machine factory, many people who left before were laid off and wanted to come back.
They were equally noisy and regretted for a while before they accepted their fate.
Wang Xiaolan did not come back, but wanted to divorce Yuan Lezi.
When she married Yuan Lezi, she always had the feeling of being remarried. In the past, Yuan Lezi had obeyed his orders, and she felt that she had been compensated.
Now that Yuan Lezi is no longer "obedient", she naturally can't stand it.
She even handed over her child to Yuan Aiming and the others, and it was obvious that she had no intention of looking back.
Yuan Lezi did not agree.
Wang Xiaolan could only drag it on like this.
Some people accused her of being ungrateful. She had perfected her skills at "Wenjun Industrial" and then went to help the enemy.
Some people say that she is a promiscuous woman, and she doesn't know what kind of man she saw outside, so she insists on divorcing Yuan Lezi.
Li Wenjun asked people in the factory not to talk about people behind their backs like this from now on, and to express their opinions face to face.
Only then did these unpleasant words stop.
Some people think that Li Wenjun still has lingering feelings for Wang Xiaolan.
In fact, Li Wenjun just felt that these were other people's private matters, and there was no need to take responsibility for others as if he were a gentleman all day long.
If you have the energy, wouldn’t it be better to improve work efficiency, engage in technology research and development, and learn more to recharge yourself?
