Chapter 598 [This generation of consumers is also a little crazy]
Friday, June 29th, Jingxinju Villa.
"According to data from Xingyu Technology, the first-week sales data of the third-generation product has come out, with sales of 9 million units in the first week." Tian Jiayi, who returned home, was reporting to Fang Hong in the living room.
The beautiful assistant added: "This is under sales restrictions. If there are no sales restrictions, based on current market feedback, sales are expected to increase by another 3 million units in the first week."
In the past week, regarding the sales of Xingyu Technology's third-generation product S3 mobile phone, the machines provided by the headquarters every day were sold out on the same day.
Even the experience machines placed on the counter in the store have consumers willing to buy them. In these days, through online channels, the official flagship store of Jingdong Shopping website releases 100,000 units of inventory every day, and then orders can be placed on the same day.
Quickly spotted by consumers.
This is the current hot sales of S3 mobile phones.
The cheapest one sells for 5,298 yuan, and the most expensive one sells for 6,298 yuan. This is currently the most expensive new flagship phone among smartphones.
The price is so expensive, but it sells out.
Friends and business colleagues are almost jealous beyond recognition. The price is so high and the sales are so good.
Are all consumers this year crazy?
In terms of profit margin, the profit of one S3 flagship mobile phone can equal the profit of ten Xiaomi flagship mobile phones. This is the most enviable thing among friends and business colleagues.
Tian Jiayi looked at Fang Hong and continued: "The new product has been released, and the market has exceeded expectations. In addition, the supply exceeds demand, and the S3 mobile phone has been speculated at sky-high prices by scalpers. It has been rising in the past few days, and the second-hand price of the 64GB version has been speculated to 10,000.
It’s ninety-one.”
In recent days, news about scalpers speculating on the S3 phone has become a hot topic online.
An industrial electronic product has become so highly hyped that it has become a unique phenomenon. It is twice as expensive as the official selling price. Many people find it incredible, but this is the current actual situation.
It has also triggered analysis by many people, and even some institutions are also analyzing it.
Listening to the beautiful assistant's data report, Fang Hong couldn't help covering his face and laughing for a while, and then said: "Well, this S3 feels a bit too powerful. This generation of consumers is also a bit crazy. I'm starting to worry about what Apple can do.
I can’t take it anymore.”
The third-generation flagship phone S3 has many innovations, among which the three biggest selling points are the most critical. One is the industrial design, which is good-looking, the other is the under-screen fingerprint recognition function, and the other is the s620 processor.
Taking any one of these three big selling points of a new product as the main one, and supplementing it with other micro-innovations is enough to create a very successful flagship product, and the S3 mobile phone has three major selling points in one, which is equivalent to
He jumped directly into three big moves.
If Apple's sales in the Greater China market slow down and encounter a waterloo, I'm sure it will be impatient and come up with such hellish tricks as "spreading lime powder" and "tickling the vagina" in advance.
Such hot sales figures for Xingyu Technology's new products demonstrate the terrifying consumption potential of the Greater China market, but no matter how great the potential is, the market has its upper limit.
Based on the current data feedback, Fang Hong feels that S3 is going to eat up all the consumption potential in the high-end area of the Greater China market, and even overdraw the market potential in advance. Because of the installment payment method, it means that it can only buy things later.
Customers who can afford it have been overdrawn in advance.
How much meat is left in the apple that can be eaten?
If you can't eat meat, you have to guess whether it will break the pot.
Finally, Fang Hong thought about it and ordered: "In the next July, arrange for some people to go to major domestic Apple offline stores to record the daily passenger flow, and also record the number of people carrying mobile phone bags when going out.
Let’s tally up the data for July and sort it out.”
Fang Hong added: "In addition, in the same period of July, let Qin Feng cooperate with the pressure on shipments to see how much diversion Apple can handle in the high-end market in July and see if consumers can buy it in the short term.
When the str series flagship phone arrives, how many people will turn around and buy Apple phones? Remember to ask the people who are stationed to do the data collection in July."
Tian Jiayi nodded and made a memo about his arrangement.
After finishing the instructions, Fang Hong couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. The development of things was always so tortuous. Now, he hoped that Apple could make some use of it. If it had been a few years ago, it would not have been possible to make such a decision.
Press to death.
But now such a decision is made because of the chip shortcomings.
All in all, during this window of opportunity, if Apple is too capable, it will not be good for Xingyu Technology's brand building, and if it is too weak, it will be bad, and it will cause the other party to jump to the wall.
At this time, Tian Jiayi couldn't help but said: "Isn't it a bit too unfounded?"
Hearing this, Fang Hong didn't blame her for saying that. She had historical limitations, and so did most people. However, this also highlighted Qin Feng's foresight, so Xingyu Technology was in his hands.
Fang Hong was not worried at all.
"Let me tell you a story and you will understand. Do you know that in March 2003, New York began to implement a strict smoking ban? Every state in the United States also has different smoking control policies. What is the reason why more than 7,000 government agencies across the United States banned smoking?"
Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and asked with a smile.
Tian Jiayi couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.
After a moment, Fang Hong withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "The reason is very simple. It is that our country's tobacco companies are too competitive. They beat the tobacco companies of the United States. Not only do they beat the American tobacco companies, but they beat the whole world. No one is beaten."
It's that simple to be able to compete openly and head-on."
Fang Hong said methodically: "Recall that when the previous generation was young, they smoked foreign cigarettes such as Rlboro, 555, and Marlboro in pursuit of fashion. But today's smokers will dislike it if you smoke it for them.
Now I smoke Huazi, Furong King and the like."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Having said this, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and smiled: "A large number of domestic finished cigarettes are exported abroad and imported to North America. The smuggled exports alone are huge. I used to smoke them abroad.
Tobacco, now we all smoke domestic cigarettes. The expensive cigarettes are all domestic. Foreign cigarettes are cheap and we don’t smoke anymore. Even if you don’t smoke when you come back from abroad, you will still smoke domestic cigarettes when you go abroad.”
"The capital in North America is unhappy when they see that all the United States is smoking tobacco imported from the Greater China market, and all their money has been taken away. Since their own tobacco companies cannot compete, of course they will ban it. If they can't afford it, they will use tobacco."
Rude tactics are their usual style."
As a person who has been reborn through time travel, Fang Hong has the foresight. He knows this very well. He also knows that many years later, in order to fight against tobacco from the great eastern countries, North America found that banning it did not work, so he released a plan to kill a thousand enemies.
The big move that can cause a loss of 30,000 yuan, this big move called "drinking poison to quench thirst" is to let go and legalize it.
Because the manufacturing industry of the big eastern country is really powerful, and its tobacco technology has unique skills, beating the world in terms of refined processing, but banning it will have little effect, and it will not be able to completely ban it.
Under this situation, the old American came up with a clever idea, which was to use something more powerful than cigarettes to defeat the tobacco of the big Eastern countries, so the big guys were let go one after another.
This is indeed more powerful than cigarettes.
It was precisely because of the period when tobacco companies in North America were liberalized and their incomes skyrocketed that tobacco companies in Greater China began to lose money for several years in a row. For a time, many people in the country found it unbelievable that tobacco companies could actually lose money?
But not many people have seen the deeper logic. Due to the decline in overseas income, business has been robbed by big companies. European and American countries have begun to promote liberalization of big companies. The money that should have been earned has been diverted by big companies, and of course they have lost money.
But at this moment, Fang Hong crossed his legs and said: "It's not just tobacco now, go back in time and look at the past history, one appearance and one virtue. When Western capital did not control tea, look at how they devalued tea.
Yes, when there is no control over coffee, look at what they say about coffee being harmful.”
Fang Hong added: "By the same token, do you think that if Xingyu Technology beats Apple, they will remain indifferent and not take action when the smartphone industry is seeking defeat like Tobacco?"
