Text Chapter 1683 Contract Machine Field

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Entering February, although most people are resting during the Spring Festival, workers at Mingxing Electronics and Red Sea Factory are not resting.

    On the contrary, a large number of workers are working overtime at different times to continuously produce dreampads and dreamstars and supply them to fans around the world.

    Dreampad no longer needs Xiao Qi to worry about assembly and production problems. The state of assembling Dreamstars at Mingxing Electronics and Red Sea Factory No. 2 is getting better and better. After the Spring Festival, the yield rate has reached a new high, which is higher than the previously expected level in February.  The output of 9 million units is even more. It is estimated that after 29 days of production, 10 million units will be stable.

    It is worth mentioning that the light golden pink limited edition dreamstars have now been transferred back to Fairy Factory No. 2 for assembly. Mingxing Electronics and Red Sea Factory No. 2 are only responsible for producing ordinary silver white and bright black.

    On the one hand, it is the need for hungry marketing. On the other hand, the mass version of Dreamstars is the most important tool to stand in the market. Therefore, the temporary limited production capacity of Dreamstars is not relevant to the overall situation.

    Entering February, since the previous inventory has been consumed and the total production capacity has not been greatly improved, the 10 million units can only be released in two parts, once every half a month.

    Such output, even in the face of strong sales pressure from Nokia and Motorola, is still in short supply.

    In the first half of February, the total sales of Nokia n80 and Motorola a1600 reached 70 million units, shocking the media around the world.

    ¡°The iPhone and Dreamstars that were released one after another were still sold out instantly without stopping, which made people even more excited.  The era of smart electronics has arrived, and people's thirst for smart products is far from saturated.

    The Android Alliance naturally boasted, saying that it had completed the half-year journey of iPhone and Dreamstars in half a month, and would directly crush them in the next step.

    But the appstore is not without its words.

    First of all, the Android Alliance¡¯s cumulative sales volume before February 1st reached about 48 million units, that is to say.  In fact, in this half-month period, their shipments were around 22 million units.

    At first glance, this data is absolutely stunning!

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid neither Fairy Company nor Apple can achieve such strong results!  !

    But if you think about the fact that there are more than 50,000 specialty stores and hundreds of thousands of cooperative sales shops around the world, the sales volume of 22 million units does not seem so dazzling.

    Currently, Apple has only more than 300 direct-operated stores worldwide, and Fairy Company has even fewer, only 70!

    If the two companies have as many sales outlets as Nokia and Motorola, I am afraid that the sales volume of these 22 million will be.  It's not that difficult, right?

    Another point is that the Android store has been opened on February 1st. The sales volume of apps is not even a little bit different. Except for the few days when it first opened, it sold 300-500 million apps every day.  Basically, the sales volume is 20 to 30 million units per day.

    There is no other reason. More than 80% of the apps in the Android store are.  Either it's too old, or it's not very playable.  It can even be said to be boring, which can make fans who bought n80 and a1600 scold them.

    The Android Alliance has no choice. The prosperity of any app store must be a process.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look at how popular the app store is now and how unstoppable it was at the beginning.  Xiao Qi spent a lot of money to lay the foundation and worried a lot. Basically, it was only after iPhones began to be put into the market on a large scale that they gradually started to make profits.

    There are currently only a few thousand companies developing programs for them in the Android store, and those companies that were poached at high prices will not be able to make any products beyond their own peak for a while.  The brand's appeal also takes time to accumulate, so the current desolation is a normal phenomenon.

    But if this trend continues, they will have at least 200 million to 300 million Android phones in stock. Using this number of users to attract more developers is a sustainable and feasible approach.

    With such a large user base, as long as they don¡¯t mess up and endure losses for a while, the rise of the Android store will definitely be unstoppable.

    Fortunately, neither Google, nor Nokia, nor Motorola are impetuous people, and they can endure loneliness. Therefore, when faced with the aggressive criticism of the App Store, they did not start internal strife among themselves. Instead, they focused on the shortcomings of the App Store.  .

    Of course, Google, Nokia and Motorola are not completely passive. At least they announced in mid-February that they will provide contract phones to 18 cooperative mobile communication operators around the world, which also makes Apple and Fairy feel jealous.

    Everyone knows that mobile communication operators most want to reach a cooperation agreement.In terms of phone models, the top two models must be iPhones and Dreamstars, but the problem is that they can't even satisfy ordinary retail sales now, so where do they have the extra inventory to play with contract phones?

    Apple is gradually making contract machines in small batches, and Fairy Company simply doesn¡¯t have any.

    You know, Apple can only sell 8 million units a month now, and Fairy Company has barely completed the production of 10 million units.

    ¡°To meet the requirements of consumers and contract machines, we need to at least double the production volume.

    But the problem is that iPhones and Dreamstars are not cheap. They are high-end smartphone models. Both Xiao Qi and Qiao have to consider the issue of market saturation. If increased production leads to unsaleable products, what should they do with the excess production capacity?  But it's also a problem.

    Of course, this does not mean that there will be no increase in production at all. For example, the Red Sea factory built by Guo Taiming in Daoyin is to expand the production capacity of Qiao Bangzhu¡¯s iPhone. The production capacity of this factory is expected to be around 5 million to 8 million units!

    Gang Leader Qiao has a good plan. If the sales of iPhones continue to improve, then they will start from increasing the number of 5 million units until they double the production and ship 16 million units a month.

    And this monthly output of 16 million units can be maintained. In this way, whether it is an increase in the number of contracted phones, next year's upgrade, or a cheaper simple version of the iPhone in the future, it can be dealt with.  .

    Xiao Qi is not in a hurry. Dreamstars has only been on sale for two months. The production of 10 million units is enough for the time being. In his plan, expanding production capacity will only happen in half a year.

    ¡° Apple and Fairy Company have not prepared contract phones for the time being, so mobile communication operators, who are already extremely jealous, naturally can only choose two models from the Android Alliance.

    Although in their eyes, a1600 and n80 are a bit inferior and cannot achieve the smooth experience of iPhone and Dreamstars, they can still use 3G network and have equally good Internet access functions. It is suitable for everyone to use 3G network traffic to  make money.

    Even Huaguo Mobile Communications in China has directly signed a contract with the Android Alliance and announced that it will launch a "0 yuan contract machine" in March, which greatly attracted attention.

    "Purchase for 0 yuan" is just a gimmick. In fact, the overall calculation is more expensive than if you buy it alone.

    But this gimmick has always been a relatively successful gimmick. It is said that there is an endless stream of customers who come to Yixin stores to inquire about it every day.

    Huaguo Dentsu and Huaguo Lianhui, which had signed a contract with Xiao Qi, were a little unstable at this time. Both Kang Yuanjun and Gu Weikang called Xiao Qi several times after the Spring Festival to inquire about their contracts.

    They have a contract for 10 million units, and another have 5 million units. The earlier they supply the market, the more they can occupy the market. They can't reach a contract in advance, and they will be overtaken by a latecomer like China Mobile, right?

    While Xiao Qi was dealing with them, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

    It¡¯s not like he hasn¡¯t thought about the fact that he still has contract machines in his hand, not only domestic ones, but also contract machines from Japan¡¯s SoftBank Group.

    ¡°But there will be a huge earthquake in May soon. All his energy must be on preventing more people from being killed and rescuing the injured after the earthquake. The expansion of production capacity should be done in June. It is still a bit inappropriate now.

    "Which is more important, making money or surviving a robbery, is a question that Xiao Qi doesn't have to think about.

    It has to be said that Xiao Qi is getting into trouble again.

    ¡° Just like last time, we were unwilling to build the Chenggri-La site and the Shangri-La community in advance because we were worried about earthquakes.

    In the end, it was Yu Shanshan¡¯s words that woke him up.

    "I heard that Mingxing Electronics is preparing to merge two more foundries. Consumers have this demand, and Li Xiaochao also has this expectation. Why not let him give it a try? Anyway, there is nothing to lose for us, even if  Dreamstars can¡¯t sell that much, so it can be used as an advance production reserve for Dreamsnow!¡±

    Xiao Qi suddenly realized this.

    The earthquake occurred in Sichuan and had little impact on eastern Guangdong.

    ¡°And there are countless foundries in Nanwan, so there is no need to start from scratch like Chengdu: building a factory, purchasing equipment, recruiting and training workers, trial production, etc. A whole set of processes are not required!

    You only need to spend money to buy a ready-made mobile phone factory, and you can use it with a little training, so what time and energy are spent!  ?

    ¡°Then let¡¯s open an assembly factory with an assembly capacity of 50 million units a year first!¡±

    Xiao Qi, who can be described as "enlightenment", made a decision without saying a word!  (To be continued)
