Chapter 2250: Grabbing Market Share Heats Up

In March, two major events occurred in the smart electronics industry.

The first one is that Apple has finally launched its own IPHONE2 under the call of the crowd, and the price remains the same as the IPHONE.

In Xiao Qi's opinion, this model, which has never appeared in the previous life, has surpassed the original iPhone 3G, and is infinitely close to the iPhone 4 in terms of screen resolution, camera delicacy, appearance and feel.

Moreover, it also adds a lot of new functions, such as a full 50% increase in CPU efficiency, larger memory, an upgraded camera to auto-zoom and support for video shooting, and further optimization of the IOS system. Not to lose to Dream Stars from The Fairy Company.

As the pioneer of smart phones, IPHONE seems to have a kind of magic power. Its appearance does not change much every time, but it makes countless smart phone lovers flock to it and like it very much.

On the second day of Joe's press conference, the pre-orders for IPHONE2 exceeded 10 million units, and the first batch of 8 million IPHONE2 units sold out immediately.

The sales of Apple's IPHONE2 are booming, which makes Apple's stock price rise even more, and Joe's gang leader is happy.

It is worth mentioning that the securities company laws in the United States are very strict.

After acquiring the shares last year, Gang Leader Qiao announced this year that he owns 20% of Apple's shares, and even announced his contract with other companies to bet against each other.

If this is not the case, Gangzhu Qiao will easily be suspected of "using the company's inside information to make money" in future stock trading, and thus be severely punished.

At that time, when Apple's stock price was at its lowest, it was completely acceptable for the company's CEO to increase his holdings and cheer for the company.

As for whether Gangzhu Qiao borrowed money or bet against each other, and whether he succeeded or failed in the end, it was just a drama for everyone to watch.

But now it looks like Gang Leader Qiao has indeed made a good move. Under the continuous surge of Apple's stock, the value of the stock in the hands of Mr. Qiao has exceeded 80%. After the hot sales of IPHONE2, it is just around the corner that the Apple stock in Joe's gang will directly double.

Gang Leader Qiao is really calm. Under such a good situation, he has no intention of selling shares at all, as if the tens of billions of dollars in debt and interest do not exist.

But Xiao Qi understood that Gang Leader Qiao still had one piece of good news that he hadn't announced yet. That is, after more than half a year of delay, the Honghai Daoyin factory at this time has begun to enter the step of mass production of IPHONE2, forming Apple's second production base for IPHONE mobile phones after Nanwan.

Now Apple's IPHONE production can finally reach 18 million per month, far exceeding Dream Stars' 13 million.

Gang Leader Qiao has great ambitions. He admits that Apple needs to catch up with Xiao Qi's achievements on Dream Pad, but he never thinks that Dream Stars is better than iPhone.

In fact, if the supply of IPHONE exceeds the demand. It has been keeping pace with the hot sales of Dream Stars.

Gang Leader Qiao has long been jealous that Dream Stars is in the contract phone market, but the output of IPHONE itself is very small, and even the consumer market cannot be satisfied. How to deal with the contract machine market?

Well now, Mr. Joe, before the release of IPHONE2. It is already negotiating contract phone agreements with two major mobile communication operators in the United States and three mobile communication operators in Europe. If successful, IPHONE2 will provide 5 million contract phones to five mobile communication operators every month for consumption Readers have a variety of choices.

Once the contract phone market is also opened, the sales of IPHONE2 will increase greatly. With the output of 18 million mobile phones, the sales volume will not be a problem at all.

In the case of doubling sales, Apple's stock will rise even more.

Of course, Gang Leader Qiao won't say this news now. He has to wait until next month, after the IPHONE2 listing gimmick has passed. Then follow the trend to launch, and then let the stock go up for a new round.

At that time, the price of Apple's stock may rise to about 200 billion U.S. dollars. At that time, it is the best time for Joe to sell stocks to pay off debts.

Compared with Gang Leader Qiao's secrecy, the three-star action over there is much more explosive.

Almost on the same day that the scumbag IPHONE2 was released, Samsung released three mobile phones.

There's the Galaxy S3, the successor to the Galaxy S2, the Samsung M2, which replaced the S1, and the entry-level C1.

The Galaxy S3 is naturally the most eye-catching new phone. As Samsung's flagship product, the price of the Galaxy S3 has not changed, but its performance has also been greatly improved.

First of all, it uses Samsung's own CPU chip, which is known as a dual-core CPU chip. It has a very smooth feeling when processing exquisite images, breaking the weakness of the previous two mobile phones in one fell swoop.

And the camera of Galaxy S3 has also been further improved, with 3 million pixels on the front and 10 million pixels on the rear, at least in terms of numbers, it surpasses all mobile phone cameras on the market.

As for the imaging and camera effects, Samsung's cameras have always performed well, which is also one of the highlights of Samsung before.

Samsung's LCD screen is also very dazzling. The pixel density has surpassed Apple and Dream Stars. If you play a video on it, it can completely match the effect of high-definition movies.

However, in the evaluation video broadcast later, it can be seen that the battery life of the Galaxy S3 is still not high. If it is used to the limit, it can last for about 6 hours, and Samsung batteries are also very expensive. It is recommended to use Super Battery from Fairy Company. , cheap, and very durable.

In addition, during the use of Samsung mobile phones, the problem of getting hot easily still exists, and the heat dissipation performance seems to have always become a problem that is difficult to solve.

Although there are various pros and cons controversies, the number of online pre-sales of the Galaxy S3 on the day also exceeded 5 million units, becoming Samsung's highest-selling mobile phone in a day. It is definitely a good start.

The M2, which replaces the S1, still has a minimum price of $366. However, in terms of appearance and performance, the M2 has also undergone a lot of changes, especially the most criticized screen dragging feeling. reached 2 million units.

What attracts the most attention from the industry is their entry-level mobile phone C1. The price of this mobile phone's 8G low-end version is only 299 US dollars, which can be called the cheapest smartphone in the world.

The high configuration price of the 16G version is only 330, which also occupies the throne of the second cheapest smartphone in the world.

According to the evaluations of several evaluation agencies, M2 is of course inferior to Dream Snow, but its configuration is also very rich, which can make up for the replacement of Dream Snow that many people cannot buy, and the sales volume should not be bad.

In addition, the C1 is almost a replica of the previous S1 in the test, but it also slightly solves the lagging problem of playing large-scale games, and there will not be much difference in using various communication tools and opening social networking sites to browse pages. problem, so it is enough to meet the minimum requirements that people have for a smartphone.

Coupled with its unexpected ultra-low price, the evaluation agency believes that it will be a super dark horse second only to Dream Snow.

After that, the sales volume of C1 exceeded 8 million units on the same day, which shocked the world and explained why the evaluation agencies were optimistic about it.

For this, other smart electronics manufacturers have cursed Samsung.

Originally, Xiao Qi came to a Dream Snow, which made them feel uncomfortable enough. Now Samsung has refreshed the bottom line of smartphones again and set the price directly to the lowest price of 299 US dollars. Isn’t this killing people?

You know, apart from Sony Ericsson's ST38 and HTC's G1, other smartphones from Nokia and Motorola are purely pseudo-smartphones to cheat money.

Even the ST38 and G1 have already been overwhelmed by the high-end mobile phones of Samsung, Apple and Fairy in terms of functions. What they are competing for is the mid-range mobile phones. After they are ready to gain a firm foothold, they will develop to the high-end.

But now it’s good. First, Fairy Company’s Dream Snow has suddenly emerged among the mid-range mobile phones. In the future, it will definitely seize their market in large numbers.

Then Samsung directly upgrades and upgrades, forming a complete sales chain of high, medium and low-end mobile phones. The low-end mobile phones are very cost-effective, which makes them very uncomfortable.

The consequence of being caught in the middle is that the high level cannot be achieved without the low level. If you don’t upgrade quickly, distance yourself from Samsung’s C1, and get closer to Fairy’s Dream Snow, I’m afraid the smart electronics market will be robbed by them. up!

Even Xiao Qi was very surprised by Li Jianxi's big move.

Fortunately, I didn't agree to Li Jianxi's bet before, this old guy is really digging a hole and waiting for me!

And according to Xiao Qi's understanding of Samsung mobile phones in the previous life, the current three mobile phones are just the beginning of the Samsung mobile phone strategy!

After Samsung has tasted the sweetness, just wait and see dozens of Samsung smartphones bombing the market!

At that time, the smart electronics market will be called a real battle! (to be continued ~^~)
