Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 640 The most expensive in history (extra meal)

(Ps: As written above, some readers mistakenly believe that the picture quality of mobile games can be linked to the mainframe 3A masterpiece. It certainly cannot be compared with the mainframe. The game method is also different. The article describes the most excellent picture quality on the mobile platform. It can be regarded as the 3A level of the mobile terminal, because the screen of the mobile terminal is small, this 3A level is not a masterpiece of the 3A level of the host side. The two experience and game methods are different, and there is no comparison.)

——

Consumers are ready to accept a sky-high price. Everyone knows that the characteristics of the Azure series of smartphones can be summarized by three "S"s. This "S" is the initials of the English word "Super". Namely: super excellent, super advanced, super expensive.

Regardless of the previous pricing style of the Côte d'Azur, or the technological content of Azure-5 itself, it is destined not to be as cost-effective as the Mi series.It is impossible to take the cost-effective route to get together to give birth to leading technology. With such a large R&D investment in the Riviera, you will starve to death within a few years.

Luo Sheng did not continue to appetite everyone, he soon announced the pricing information of Azure-5.

"The 128GB version is priced at 12,999 yuan (approximately 1,737 euros or 1,951 U.S. dollars) for the National Bank version, 1,999 euros in Ouzhou District, and 2,299 U.S. dollars in North America and other regions."

"The 256GB version is priced at RMB 14,999 (approximately 2005 euros or US$2,252) for the Bank of China version, 2,299 euros in Ouzhou District, and 2,599 US dollars in North America and other regions."

"The 512GB version is priced at 16,999 yuan (approximately 2,272 euros or 2,552 US dollars) for the National Bank version, 2,599 euros in Europe, and 2,899 U.S. dollars in North America and other regions."

The audience was shocked, all the audience looked at the numbers on the high-definition giant screen on the stage, all stunned.

At this moment, Mr. Lei, who was silently following the press conference, saw the Azure-5 offer, his eyes were mixed, and other friends did not. He breathed a sigh of relief and envied the exaggerated number. The eyes are red hot.

I'm relieved because the high pricing of Azure-5 will definitely block a large part of users. These users will be discouraged seeing the price of Azure-5 and will inevitably choose other brands. This is for other manufacturers. Good news; the envy lies in such high pricing, which represents exaggerated profits.

Even if the profit margin is reduced due to the increase in R&D and manufacturing costs, but the base cannot be supported too large, the final absolute profit must be more exaggerated.

The profit margin for 50% of 1,000 yuan is 500 yuan, and the profit margin for 25% of 10,000 yuan is 2500 yuan. It seems that the profit rate is halved, but the actual profit of the latter is five times that of the former.

It's even more serious if the sales are booming.

After Luo Sheng announced the price, he announced the specific release date again.

"The National Bank version will be released on National Day, which is three days later; overseas markets will be on sale simultaneously on December 24."

Like the previous generation of products, domestic consumers are still in the market to buy and enjoy early. Not only that, according to the published price, the National Bank version is more than 2,000 yuan cheaper than the overseas version.

At this point, it also gives the Chinese people the satisfaction of a special preferential treatment. There is no difference in the product, but the price of a small microphone in China is cheaper.

There is no shortage of negative teaching materials. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Some manufacturers operate in reverse. They are obviously the same model of products. The products sold abroad are cheaper than domestic ones. Not to mention that to be like the Côte d’Azur, domestic must be cheaper than foreign countries. But at least the same price, right?Such domestic consumers will not say anything.

At the same time, both the live audience and the netizens who watched the live broadcast began to discuss the price of Azure-5.

"The cheapest basic version is 13,000 oceans? Excuse me, excuse me!"

"I have split the price."

"According to my current salary, I have to eat instant noodles for 4 months and it is possible to make up enough money to buy the most basic version."

"To be reasonable, I am not to blame for the unreasonable price of Azure-5, but the unreasonable product planning of the Blue Coast, can't release some products that are mainly targeted at the low-end market? Also take care of the average consumption power. Archbishop the crowd."

"Yes, look at other manufacturers. They release more than a dozen new models a year. The Blue Coast is good. After three years of holding one, I squeezed one out. Fortunately, I can directly be dissuaded by the price. My Nima is speechless... …"

"Make money, young man, I really can't ask Mr. Ma to borrow it."

"Emmm... are you a modal particle or a noun? [Fear. Text limited edition]"

"Don't persuade, just do it, Huabai borrowed and served together, I really can't eat instant noodles."

"Instant noodles are not healthy, old iron."

"I'm so confused about eating instant noodles, I still care about my health?"

...

The on-site press conference has entered the questioning session, and at this moment the reporter's questioning session has ended. At the same time, the press conference arrangement also provided an opportunity for consumers who came to the scene to directly ask Luo Sheng questions.

Coincidentally, this very excited consumer mentioned a topic that most ordinary people care about.

"Archbishop, this question of mine has gained the most popularity in the forum. It can be regarded as representing the wishes of a large number of netizens to ask you." The selected questioner was a young man wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. , At first glance, it is the material of being a programmer.

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: "Please speak."

The questioner came to tactical support, and he was a little nervous, but still smoothly said: "Many netizens hope that the Côte d’Azur can sell several products with relatively low technical content and relatively civilian prices. Will there be such products in the future? What about launching?"

This question made all the friends and businessmen who are paying attention to the Azure-5 conference listen.

The big friends and businessmen can't help but want to beat the questioner.

On the stage, Luo Sheng bowed his head and thought for a moment, then smiled at the questioner and replied: "First of all, I can answer you a little for sure. Of course, the Blue Coast is capable of being a mid-to-low-end market. There is no doubt about this. You can castrate casually. Version is fine."

A fan off the court praised: "Domineering!"

Then Luo Sheng added: "I once said: We can earn some money, but we don’t make it and leave it to others. If we enter the low-end market, the survival of our friends will become more difficult. A large number of manufacturers will die, which will then impact the manufacturing industry behind them, leading to an increase in unemployment. As a leading company in the industry, the Cote d’Azur must be the leader of the industry and must have a sense of social responsibility. It should empower society, not give The society adds to the congestion."

As soon as he said this, Luo Sheng once again received warm applause from the audience. Many people looked at the hot man on the stage and couldn't help but stand in awe. This is a respectable entrepreneur. This situation does not know how to get rid of friends. How many ranks have you got?

The domineering aspect also shows the unparalleled big pattern.

Friends of businessmen are also mixed up with mixed flavors. Anyone who hears these words will definitely be unhappy. Even a sense of superiority makes them hate, but there is no way to refute it because Luo Sheng is right.

If the Côte d’Azur announces its entry into the low-end market, there will be absolutely no way for other manufacturers to survive. The smartphone industry has been in development for ten years, and it is now a red sea with fierce competition.

An industry insider off the court underestimated Tucao: "I said that it’s not to maintain the status of the Azure brand in the industry pyramid. Without the help of friends, it is impossible for Azure mobile phones to achieve high premiums. Profits. Luo Sheng wants to give other friends a way to survive because he can get the maximum commercial benefits because of the existence of the friends. This is the value of the existence of the friends. There is no use value. The Côte d’Azur will inevitably show its fangs instead of the current situation. Whitewashed tall."

The colleague sitting next to him couldn’t help but answer: “You’re right, but Luo Sheng is right, and he did seek the greatest commercial gain. This is understandable, but he did not rush to extinction, and his friends were also able to It is also an objective fact to survive and develop."

The person in the industry shrugged and said noncommitantly: "The angle is different, the position is different, and the answers they see are different, but they are all right."

"Yes, there are so many right and wrong in the adult world."

At the same time, the questioner just couldn't help but hurriedly asked before handing over the microphone: "Archbishop, can you authorize some technology to other manufacturers? To be reasonable, the technology of other manufacturers is really not compatible. For the Côte d’Azur, to put it unrealistically, consumers actually want to enjoy the powerful technological experience of the Côte d’Azur and enjoy preferential prices from other manufacturers.”

"Haha~~"

The scene was suddenly overwhelmed with laughter, and the microphone of the questioner was taken away by the staff.

What everyone laughed about was that the questioner was too upright to talk about it, and wondered where did this come out. The competition between companies is fatal and not soft, but the bigwigs still have to maintain their demeanor. This is a human touch. Two different things.

And why the questioner’s words make the business situation of the friends uncomfortable. It not only makes the friends and merchants faceless, but also embarrassing the Côte d’Azur. Everyone was in a tacit understanding, but you were so stunned that you’ve just opened it up and made it clear. Everyone is embarrassed.

However, Luo Sheng didn't mind, he still smiled, and answered his question exceptionally: "Your idea is very good. It is very imaginative. The Côte d'Azur may be able to study its feasibility."

This is a bit intriguing. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. When the friends heard Luo Sheng's words, whether he was intentional or unintentional, his mind suddenly became active.
