Reborn in 1984: Starting with the Development of Chinese Character Cards, Chapter 340: Sales Myth! When Zhao Ye announced the price of the iPhone 6, the entire audience was shocked.
The price was clearly unexpected; some people thought it was cheap, while others thought it was expensive.
The domestic price is 4999 RMB, and the international price is 799 USD.
The prices of mainstream mobile phone brands are getting cheaper and cheaper. For example, Nokia phones are generally priced around one or two thousand yuan.
iPhone targets the high-end market, but the iPhone 5 is priced at only 4999 RMB.
Competition in the mobile phone industry is indeed quite fierce.
However, this is mainly because Wujiang Group has driven down the prices of mobile phone components, resulting in a significant reduction in global mobile phone prices, which is conducive to the popularization of mobile phones worldwide.
By nearly monopolizing mobile phone components, Wujiang Group has made a fortune!
At this point, the Wujiang press conference was already halfway through.
After introducing the iPhone 6, Zhao Ye then introduced the BlackBerry smartphone, which targets the high-end business market. It features an independent security chip that has obtained the highest level of national cryptographic certification and uses a security technology codenamed "Island" to significantly improve security performance. This technology addresses mobile privacy and security issues from the ground up, isolating the phone's system and applications. Users can switch between different security modes in different scenarios to protect personal privacy and business secrets.
For example, when using work software, enabling safe mode can isolate you from the outside world and other software, thereby preventing information leakage or malicious theft, similar to a secure environment on an isolated island.
Zhao Ye paused, waved his BlackBerry phone in his right hand, and smiled, "BlackBerry's security mode introduces a new business etiquette for business professionals. It allows you to control the overall situation when needed, and to find your own space when not. See you on the 'island'!"
Many business people in the audience couldn't help but be fond of this BlackBerry phone, which combines entertainment and work, and has strong security features, making it a truly excellent phone.
Moreover, BlackBerry phones also feature AI assistance.
Simply say "Hey Blackberry" to wake it up.
As for the price of BlackBerry phones, they are not cheap either, with a domestic retail price of 3,999 RMB and an overseas price of 599 USD.
Of course, most people simply cannot afford such expensive phones.
So, Zhao Ye is about to start giving everyone some perks.
"The prices of iPhones and BlackBerrys are still a bit high for many people. Based on the idea that everyone can afford smartphones, Wujiang Group has specially developed a high-quality and affordable smartphone!"
"This phone is called the Honor phone!"
"It's priced at only 999 RMB in China, boasts superior performance, and can run most apps smoothly, basically meeting users' needs!"
After he finished speaking, a photo of the Honor phone appeared on the screen.
In terms of design, it basically imitates the iPhone 6, but due to cost issues, the Honor phone's casing is made of plastic, which obviously doesn't look as high-end as the iPhone 6.
But what more could you ask for than a smartphone that's so cheap?
Sure enough, when Zhao Ye introduced that the Honor phone was priced at only 999 RMB, the entire audience was in an uproar. The viewers watching the live stream were even more excited. The previous iPhones and Blackberry phones were too expensive for them to afford, and they could only look on with envy. But the Honor phone was different; at only 999 RMB, it was affordable and stress-free.
"Wujiang Group is really considerate. They've put the common folk in mind and launched such an affordable smartphone. No doubt about it, I'll definitely buy one when the Honor phone is released!"
"The Honor phone looks pretty good. Although it can't compare to iPhones and Blackberries, you get what you pay for, and it has the best price-performance ratio!"
"Honor phones are bound to be a hit!"
"..."
Online, Honor phones have sparked heated discussions, second only to the iPhone in popularity.
BlackBerry phones are too business-oriented and not cheap, so they are not as popular as Honor phones.
As the press conference neared its end, Zhao Ye gestured for everyone to quiet down and then said, "To promote the rapid popularization of smartphones, Wujiang Group is once again offering a benefit: installment payments. The minimum payment period is 3 months, and the maximum is 24 months. You only need to repay a portion of the purchase cost each month. For example, if you buy an iPhone 6 and choose to pay in installments over 24 months, you only need to repay a little over two hundred yuan each month. Two hundred yuan is no burden at all for everyone, right..."
These words resonated with many ordinary workers.
They originally wanted to buy a Honor phone, but after the installment payment option was announced, they had a new idea: why not just buy an iPhone 6? Paying a little over two hundred yuan a month wouldn't be a problem at all!
Zhao Ye thought to himself, "The introduction of installment payment will only further stimulate everyone's desire to consume. And you don't need to sell your kidneys. Can't you even pay back two hundred yuan a month?"
In addition, if users choose to pay in installments, there will definitely be interest.
Wujiang Group will only make more money.
Of course, consumers can also buy the products they want, which is called a "win-win" situation!
"Alright everyone, that concludes our presentation. Thank you for your attention! At 12:00 noon sharp, the iPhone, Blackberry, and Honor smartphones will be available for purchase both online and offline. Those who wish to buy one, please prepare yourselves quickly, as quantities are limited and will be sold out quickly..."
