Chapter 1700: Be the First to Occupy the Market

In the evening, Yin Jun was already sitting in a Western restaurant with Colauti, a senior partner of Goldman Sachs.

"Master Jun, you are finally back!" Colauti, who was dressed like a dog, said with a smile in an exaggerated tone.

"Is the matter done?" Yin Jun said with joy on his face.

"Oh, is that what you're talking about? Not yet!" Colauti sat opposite Yin Jun and said while eating lamb chops: "How could it be so fast? There are so many people who want to buy their company now. Very, if you told me not to be impatient, then naturally it won’t be our turn.”

"Then why are you happy here?" Yin Jun sighed.

"Although there is no progress in that acquisition, another thing will definitely make you happy." Colauti said, "You still remember the purchase contract between American Telegraph and Telephone Company and Kirin Communications Company, right?"

Yin Jun has a lot of business, and his main focus is still on entertainment and filmmaking. Colauti was afraid that he would forget, so he reminded him specifically.

"Remember," Yin Jun said, "In five years of cooperation, we will purchase no less than 1 million units each year, and the price will be 2,000 US dollars. If it exceeds 3 million units within a year, the price will drop to 1,500 US dollars."

"You have a really good memory." Colauti gave a thumbs up.

Only then did he remember that the young man in front of him was a genius.

Can a genius have a bad memory?

"I remember they signed the contract in October, and it's been almost eight months now. From the looks of it, sales in the United States are pretty good, right?" Yin Jun said with a smile.

"It's not just good? It's simply great!" Colauti clapped his hands, "Since March this year, as more and more of their communication bases and signal receiving and transmitting towers have been installed, the call effect has become better and better. Okay, so mobile phones have become so popular! The sales volume in April was 180,000 units, in May it was 250,000 units, and in just ten days in June, 130,000 units were already sold!!”

He said excitedly while looking at Yin Jun's face.

As a result, when Colauti finished speaking, Yin Jun was still so dull.

"That's it?" Yin Jun raised his head and asked.

"Well……"

Colauti smiled bitterly, "Master Jun, I know you are used to big business, but don't underestimate this mobile phone business! How much do you think you get from this?!"

Yin Jun smiled, "Colauti, be careful. You are so excited about the total sales of hundreds of thousands or millions of mobile phones. When you sell 5 million or 10 million units a month in the future, you must not directly Passed out?"

Colauti: "..."

If it weren't for the person sitting in front of him was Yin Jun, he would have slapped him - selling 5 million or 10 million mobile phones in a month? Brother, you didn't wake up, right?

But at the same time, he also knew the expectations in Yin Jun's heart, or how big Yin Jun's ambition was.

5 million or 10 million a month! ?

Aren’t there going to be hundreds of millions of mobile phones a year?

Is this possible? !

Looking at Colauti's appearance, Yin Jun really didn't laugh at him.

People living in this era will never know how spectacular the sales of mobile phones will be in the future.

In the era of feature phones, Nokia could sell more than 800 million mobile phones a year, accounting for more than 70% of total mobile phone sales, beating Samsung and Apple combined! !

Even in the age of smartphones, Samsung's annual sales exceed 300 million units, followed closely by Apple with around 200 million units, Huawei also reached 150 million units in 2017, and OPPO, which ranks fourth 117 million units.

After all, wouldn’t that be a sales volume of 10 to 20 million mobile phones a month?

If Yin Jun occupies such a huge advantage and cannot sell 10 million units a month in the feature phone era, then he really deserves his status as a time traveler.

"I remember that the total sales volume of American Telegraph and Telephone Company has not reached 3 million units, right?" Yin Jun did not say more to him and asked directly, "What you mean, they are planning to order more mobile phones next year. ?”

"certainly!"

Putting away a trace of depression in his heart, Colauti said, "They are planning to increase the annual order of 2 million units in advance starting in August until the end of the contract."

"That's not bad." Yin Jun nodded.

Although if the 3 million mobile phone orders are placed every year, the price will become 1,500 US dollars, the more shipments, the greater the coverage of Kirin mobile phones, and naturally more consumers will like it.

In comparison, Motorola's first mobile phone, which was groundbreaking in its previous life, was not so amazing.

Their mobile phone, which was almost as high as 3,995 US dollars, has now plummeted to 2,000 US dollars each, the same as Kirin mobile phones.

But sales are still not good.

Because compared to Kirin phones, Motorola’s phones are almost on the same level.

This is also nonsense.

Yin Jun took an evolved version of the mobile phone from around 1987, which was about 3 years ahead. It would be weird not to surpass Motorola.

It wasn't that Yin Jun was hiding his secrets and refused to bring out a better mobile phone.

The hardware equipment that I just thought about, including the baseband module of the mobile phone, etc., cannot be made better, so it can only be the current version.

Motorola is also very distressed.

In fact, they earn a lot of money. Every time a Kirin phone is sold, they have to pay them a lot of royalties, but how can this be compared with making money by selling their own phones?

It's not like they haven't thought about cutting prices again, but once the price is lower than that of Kirin phones, users will have the impression that "Motorola phones are not as good as Kirin phones", so they can only grit their teeth and persist.

These have nothing to do with Yin Jun.

All he was thinking about was how to better develop the market.

"Colauti, go talk to American Telegraph and Telephone Company." After thinking about it, Yin Jun said simply, "If they can sell 10 million mobile phones in the next year, the price of Kirin mobile phones will be reduced. When the price is $1,200 a piece, ask them if they are willing to give it a try.”

Colauti took a breath of air and asked, "Isn't it too radical?"

"If you're not afraid of being radical, you're just afraid that you won't make progress!" Yin Jun shook his head. "Companies such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson are constantly catching up. How can we do this if we don't take advantage of ourselves to be one step ahead and cultivate the market in advance?"

Colauti has worked hard for the mobile phone industry.

Colauti was half of the credit for the previous valuation of Kirin Communications.

He had heard Yin Jun describe how in the future almost everyone over the age of 16 would have a mobile phone.

Although this is basically impossible to achieve, for example, poor China and India cannot afford it.

But this does not prevent Colauti from counting the populations of North America, Western Europe, South America, Japan and South Korea.

Once we know that the potential consumer population is as high as 2 billion, then this market cannot be overemphasized.

Now it seems that Kirin mobile phones are indeed better than Motorola's, but this does not mean that it will always lead.

According to Motorola's strong R&D capabilities, Ericsson, Nokia and other companies in Europe also have a stronger foundation than Kirin Group. There is no telling whether they will catch up one day.

Yin Jun now wants to promote the progress of the market by drastically reducing prices. In Colauti's view, it is indeed a good idea.

In the blink of an eye, Colauti made a decision: "Then I'll go talk to them!"

"Don't worry, if we really follow these sales momentum, there will be a leap next year that you can't imagine." Yin Jun said, "As long as enough investment is made in the construction of base stations, users can get a better experience. , it’s so easy for mobile phones to become popular.”

Colauti nodded slowly.

Yin Jun is undoubtedly a genius. He began to lay out this communication tool that seemed impossible to commercialize at the time a few years ago, and then launched it in one fell swoop, knocking out Motorola, the inventor of the mobile phone.

How can we ignore what such a person says?

Colauti is naturally one of the investment bankers who knows the mobile phone industry best, because Yin Jun bought various mobile phone communication and signal transmission patents from Colauti. He knew that Yin Jun was here How much effort has gone into it.

It seemed like a very wasteful behavior at the time, but now it seems like just raising a golden hen!

Yin Jun himself is not worried about the sales of mobile phones at all.

The 1980s in the United States was an era of vigorous development. Business and industry were extremely developed, and the U.S. economy also developed rapidly.

This momentum did not suddenly slow down until around the time of the Gulf War.

A large number of business transactions must urgently require better communication methods. The previous telephones, pagers, fax machines, etc. are no longer sufficient.

So at this time, mobile phones are the best to develop.

"In addition, now that the United States has opened up, do you think it will be easier to open up the markets in Europe and South America?" Yin Jun asked instead.

"Haha, you think of me as an employee of the Kirin Group!" Colauti pointed at Yin Jun and said with a smile, "Shouldn't you be the one to promote these?"

"We also want to, but we don't have the resources." Yin Jun spread his hands, "European operators and South American operators have no deep relationship with us... You Goldman Sachs has deep connections, so you naturally know how to do it. Only in this way can we get the contract.”

After a pause, Yin Jun said again, "Don't worry, Colauti, tell the people in charge that everything is easy to discuss, whether it's the company or their personal aspects!"

Colauti's eyes lit up unconsciously.

What he likes most is that Yin Jun is such a straightforward and generous person. He is always procrastinating in doing things and is always so resolute.

Since he would not treat those people badly, how could Yin Jun treat him badly, the person who communicated and built bridges between them?

With Yin Jun's generosity, his income from this trip would be at least tens of millions of dollars! ?
