Global monopoly of technology

The Azure smartphone series under the Cote d'Azur has not released a flagship model product for the first time in three years. During this time, only an enhanced version of Azure-3C was released.

But the next-generation flagship Azure-4 has not yet been launched.

The supply chain has been waiting for two or three years, all kinds of eagerly look forward to the new products of the blue coast dad quickly, these two years are all bad orders, low profits to death.

The profit of supplying other brands of mobile phones is really low, but the Côte d’Azur is really profitable.

Because the profit margins of Azure mobile phones are too large, the Blue Coast company randomly moved out, and the upstream and downstream supply chain can eat for nothing. That must be the rhythm of the father.

Suppliers are a more realistic master. They only recognize the money. Whoever gives the money is whoever gives the money. The amount of money can determine how good the quality control of the supply is.

This is also not to blame for the fact that each of the upstream and downstream suppliers in the supply chain is so realistic, because a mobile phone is made up of more than a thousand parts, and behind each part is an independent supplier.

Behind these component suppliers are more raw material suppliers, and the entire supply chain involves as many as thousands of large and small suppliers.

Although the traditional manufacturing industry also relies on suppliers, most of them are not intensive industries like the mobile phone industry and require thousands or even thousands of suppliers to supply them.

This is why an Azure mobile phone can form an industrial chain with an annual output value of more than 700 billion yuan. So many suppliers are all counting on the blue coast dad to enjoy food.

From OEMs, to raw material suppliers, and even to paste a film, profits are diverted from the blue coast of the terminal, and are divided into layers.

If Azure mobile phones do not have a high profit margin as a guarantee, how to feed the bottom sellers?Why would they pouting their ass to call father, willingly be your tool man?

How can you lash out suppliers without money?

If you have money, you can easily buy countless tool people. If you have money, you can get suppliers to kneel down and call your father better than your father. If you have money, you can really let the supplier lift your butt. Do whatever you want, even without tapping, you can whip to your heart...

Echoes from suppliers:

Don't mess around...

Don't mess around...

Going to mess...

Recklessly…

Come…

Money can really do whatever you want.

With the passage of time, before the launch of the fourth-generation Azure smartphone on the Blue Coast, Bluestar Technology Group released the 2013 Q2 audited financial report in mid-August.

Bluestar Technology’s global revenue this quarter hit US$27.1 billion, an increase of 14.58% from the previous quarter. The growth was mainly from the Mainland, followed by the Eastern European and Southeast Asian markets; the net profit was US$4.336 billion, and the net profit rate was 16%. The quarter’s net profit margin dropped by 0.2%, which also refreshed the lower limit of Bluestar Technology’s net profit margin. However, the absolute number of net profit increased. It should be known that the net profit of the last quarter was US$3.831 billion, and this quarter has increased. 505 million US dollars.

The Q2 financial report was in line with Wall Street analysts’ expectations. Hong Kong stocks and US stocks were trading at all hours, and stocks rose sharply. In the end, the trading volume in the two markets was also gratifying, driving the total market value of Bluestar Technology Group to US$116.367 billion. 9 trillion Hong Kong dollars.

Stockholders are eagerly looking forward to the total market value of the stock with the trading code 9989.HK sprinting towards 10 trillion Hong Kong dollars.

But at this moment, Bluestar Technology’s price-to-earnings ratio is as high as 56 times, the exact number is 56.15, a record high since the company went public, almost doubled.

However, compared to Amazon's 77 times P/E ratio, Bluestar Technology Group's P/E ratio is relatively stable.

Luo Sheng’s work focus has shifted from Bluestar Technology to the Blue Coast. As time has come to September this year, the official V of the Blue Coast company released a heavy news: September 19, 2013, the Mid-Autumn Festival will hold Azure- 4 Press conference.

There was almost no publicity on the Côte d’Azur. It only posted a dynamic message on the official V. It became a hot search entry and reached the top of the list on the same day. It was directly swiped on the Internet and spread throughout the science and technology circle.

This is the embodiment of brand precipitation, industry status and global influence in the past ten years. The Cote d'Azur is already a top multinational technology group with global influence.

Domestic netizens who eat melons also talked about this topic in WeChat and QQ groups. In the middle of the night, there were also foreign netizens on the Reddit forums in Europe and the United States who started this topic.

"The Côte d'Azur is finally about to release its flagship machine!"

"I have been waiting for three years."

"That is to say, the archbishop can calm down and not release flagship products for three years. Mi, Honor, and vivo are all published once a year. I can't wait for a half-year rhythm.

"Hey, don't panic, the Riviera has a rhythm of not opening for three years and eating for three years."

"The archbishop has never disappointed the majority of believers."

"Friends were in ecstasy when they saw the news, and design inspiration for the next generation of products spewed out inexplicably."

"Oh, Azure-4 is a great idea, but it will be mine in the next second."

"Too real..."

"I look forward to what kind of surprises Azure-4 will bring this time."

"If I don't come again, I will soon become a nail user of A3 mobile phones."

"Trust me, you must change it. Although the quality levers of the A3 generation are really easy to use, they can even hit the latest flagship phones of friends and merchants. It seems to be able to fight for another three years, but it is a 3G phone after all. Now is the age of 4G technology, and the latest A4 flagship machine will definitely support 4G networks."

"My wallet is already hungry..."

...

The Operations Department of the Star City headquarters of the Blue Coast Company is holding a meeting.

At this moment, Luo Sheng was browsing the documents sent by the marketing department. When he was preparing for the signature and stamp, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the person in charge of the marketing department.

"The scale of the 6.5 billion product promotion budget? Should we be so stubborn? How effective is this? The domestic product promotion budget is almost the same, too little. The product promotion budget has been increased to 18 billion. Brand promotion should not be stingy, more than R&D investment. It doesn't matter if it is high."

Is this still picking?

When the head of the marketing department heard this, he and everyone at the meeting stayed for a while, and immediately replied: "Okay, President Luo, I will revise the plan immediately after the meeting."

BOSS has the final say.

Luo Sheng nodded, and gave the documents to the other party for modification, and said: "The discussion on the Internet is now fierce. A fans directly pushed the popularity of the new flagship phone to the top of the list. They are non-Azure phones and do not buy them. Three models have been released in a row, but A fans would rather buy a 4G version of Azure-3C than a friend’s latest flagship machine. We don’t have to worry about this group of consumers. They are the basic drives of Azure."

"But the basic market only accounts for about 30%, which is far from enough. If you are willing to spend money on product announcements, it is the last word to attract centrists, swingers, and clowns. These consumer groups just don’t pay much attention to products. By themselves, they don’t even know the basic parameters and don’t care about it. They are commonly known as “no-white consumers” on the Internet.”

"It must be understood that the novices have the world. It is an immutable truth in any industry. Their requirements are relatively low and tolerant, but their spending power is relatively very strong, and they will not be able to make purchases. Too much hesitation, unlike those who want to compare the motors above, it’s very hard for you to pry open their wallets."

"But Xiaobai users are not the same. Xiaobai calls Xiaobai because most of their energy does not focus on a consumer product. Their main energy is spent on work and career. Naturally, their economic strength is strong."

"Because they don't pay much attention, they have to find ways to deliver products to his vision from multiple dimensions. Therefore, the product promotion aspect is to be willing to spend money, not just bombing online, and giving major technology blogs. The main event is to produce high-quality propaganda films, TV commercials, etc.; offline bombardment is also going to be done, subway lines, buses, elevators, LED billboards, etc., all greet me."

"If you want to win Xiaobai users, don't think about the fancy operation of Huli. To conquer them, you only need to use the most unpretentious trick, which is to spend money! Crazy money for product promotion."

The head of the marketing department was speechless, and it was a simple trick.

Luo Sheng added: "One more thing, you shouldn’t interact with your friends online. This is a pure waste of energy. If they want to be hot, let them do it. Anyway, we don’t lack the hotness. The hot friends are because they have no money. For product promotion, you don’t even have much money to invest in research and development, and you can only keep up with the popularity. This is also a cost-effective product promotion."

As soon as the words came out, the executives at the meeting couldn't hold back a low smile, and instantly heard from the BOSS who he was talking about.

Luo Sheng looked around at everyone: "Look at the popularity of Glory over Azure? The proud inheritors of Azure mobile phone technology have never said this fact. Yu Dazui's product announcements are very simple and creative. Advertisements are flying one after another. Offline stores are expanding at the rate of a new store in three to five days. They are also robbing us of advertising space on the subway line. People rely on the parent company to have money, and they are not stingy in developing product announcements. ."
