Global Monopoly of Technology

(Ps: Written at the front, some readers mistakenly believe that the picture quality of mobile games can be linked to the 3A masterpieces of the console, and it is definitely not comparable to the console, and the game mode is different. The article describes the most excellent picture quality in 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 non-host side 3A level masterpiece, the experience and game mode of the two are different, and there is no comparison.)

Consumers are ready to accept a sky-high price. Everyone knows that the features of the Azure series of smartphones can be summed up with three "S". This "S" is the abbreviation of the English word "Super". Namely: super excellent, super advanced, super expensive.

Whether it is the previous pricing style of the Côte d'Azur, or the technological content of the Azure-5 itself, it is destined not to be cost-effective like the Xiaomi series. Taking the cost-effective route is also impossible to get together to create leading technologies. With such a large R\u0026D investment in the Cote d'Azur, you will starve to death within a few years of playing like this.

Luo Sheng did not continue to whet everyone's appetite. He soon announced the pricing information of Azure-5.

"The 128GB version is priced at 12,999 yuan (about 1,737 euros or $1,951) for the national version, 1,999 euros in the Auzhou region, and $2,299 in North America and other markets."

"The 256GB version is priced at 14,999 yuan (about 2,005 euros or $2,252) in China, 2,299 euros in Wuzhou, and $2,599 in North America and other markets."

"The 512GB version is priced at 16,999 yuan (about 2,272 euros or US dollars) in China, 2,599 euros in Europe, and 2,899 US dollars in North America and other markets."

The audience was shocked, and all the audience looked at the figures on the high-definition giant screen on the stage, and they were all dumbfounded.

At this moment, Mr. Lei, who was silently watching the press conference, saw the quotation of Azure-5, his eyes were mixed, and so did other friends. Looking at the exaggerated figure, he was relieved and envious. The eyes are hot and red.

I am relieved because the high price of Azure-5 will definitely block out a large number of users. These users will definitely choose other brands when they see the price of Azure-5. Good news; envy is due to such high pricing, which represents exaggerated profits.

Even if the profit margin is reduced due to the increase in R\u0026D and manufacturing costs, the base cannot be held too large, and the final absolute profit must be more exaggerated.

50% profit margin of 1000 yuan is 500 yuan,

The 25% profit margin of 10,000 yuan is 2,500 yuan, which seems to be halved, but the actual profit of the latter is five times that of the former.

Even more so if sales continue to explode.

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

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

Like the previous generation of products, domestic consumers are still in the market for early purchase and early enjoyment. 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 Chinese people a sense of satisfaction with special preferential treatment. There is no difference between the products, but the price of a Xiaomi Mi is cheaper in China.

There is also no shortage of negative teaching materials. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Some manufacturers operate in the opposite direction. It is obviously the same model of product. It is cheaper to sell abroad than domestically. But at least it has to be the same price, right? So domestic consumers will not say anything.

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

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

"I'm cracked at this price."

"According to my current salary, 4 months of instant noodles may be enough to buy the most basic version."

"To be fair, I don't blame the unreasonable price of Azure-5, but because the product planning of the Côte d'Azur is unreasonable, so can't we release some products that focus on the mid-to-low-end market? Also, take care of eating melons with average spending power. Crowd, Archbishop."

"Yeah, look at other manufacturers. They release more than a dozen new models a year. The Cote d'Azur is good. After three years of holding it back, one will come out. It's good, but I was directly persuaded by the price, and I was speechless... …”

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

"Emmm...is your chanting a modal particle, or a noun? [Fear. Text limited edition]"

"Don't be cowardly, just do it. Huabei and borrowbei will serve together. I really can't eat instant noodles."

"Instant noodles are not healthy, old iron."

"You've already eaten instant noodles when you're lying on a horse, do you still care about your health?"

...

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

As it happens, this rather excited consumer touched on a topic that most ordinary people care about.

"Archbishop, this question of mine is the most popular in the forum. It represents the will of some, possibly a very large number of netizens, to ask you a question." The selected questioner was a young man wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. , at first glance is the material of the programmer.

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: "Please speak."

The questioner came to the tactical support environment and was a little nervous, but he said smoothly: "Many netizens hope that Cote d'Azur can release several products with relatively low technical content and relatively civilian prices. Will there be such products in the future? launch?"

This question made all the friends and businessmen who were paying attention to the Azure-5 conference listened, and all of them were nervous.

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

On the stage, Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, then looked at the questioner with a smile and replied, "First of all, I can answer you with certainty, Cote d'Azur is of course capable of being in the mid-to-low-end market, there is no doubt about it, just do a castration. version will do.”

A fan off the field praised: "Domineering!"

Then Luo Sheng added: "I once said a word: we can earn some money, but if we don't make it, we leave it to others to earn it. 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 it, resulting in an increase in unemployment. As a leading company in the industry, Côte d'Azur should take the lead in the industry and have a sense of social responsibility. It should empower the society, not give Society is blocked."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Sheng once again received warm applause from the audience. Many people looked at the hot man on the stage and could not help but awe. This is a respectable entrepreneur. How many tiers have you traded?

Domineering also shows an unparalleled large pattern.

The friends and businessmen have mixed feelings when they hear it. Anyone who hears this will definitely be unhappy. Even a feeling of superiority is hated by the friends and businessmen, but they can't refute it, because Luo Sheng is right.

If the Cote d'Azur announces its entry into the mid-to-low-end market, other manufacturers will definitely not survive. The smartphone industry has developed for ten years, and now it is a red sea, and the competition is quite fierce.

An industry insider off the field underestimated and complained: "In fact, it is not to maintain the position of the Azure brand in the industry pyramid. Without the support of friends and businessmen, it is impossible for Azure mobile phones to achieve high premiums and bring high prices. Profits, Luo Sheng wants to give other friends a way to survive because of the existence of friends, he can obtain the greatest commercial benefits, this is the value of the existence of friends, without the value of existence, the blue coast will inevitably show its fangs, not the way it is now Beautifully decorated."

The colleague sitting next to him couldn't help but answered: "You are right, but Luo Sheng is also right, and he has indeed obtained the greatest commercial interests, which is understandable, but he did not kill them all, and friends and businessmen were also able to Survive and develop, this is also an objective fact.”

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

"Yeah, there's so much right and wrong in the adult world."

At the same time, the questioner just now couldn't help but quickly asked again before handing over the microphone: "Archbishop, can you license some technologies to other manufacturers? To be fair, the technologies of other manufacturers can't be compared with each other. The Côte d’Azur ratio, if it is unrealistic, consumers actually want to enjoy the powerful technical experience of Côte d’Azur and the preferential prices of other manufacturers.”

"Haha~~"

The scene was immediately overwhelmed by laughter, and the questioner's microphone had been taken away by the staff.

What everyone laughed at was that the questioner was too upright, and they thought that this was a stunned young man. The competition between enterprises is fatal but not soft, but the bosses still have to maintain their demeanor. Two different things.

And what the questioner said made friends and businessmen so bad, it not only made friends and businessmen very shameful, but also embarrassed the Cote d'Azur. Everyone had a tacit understanding, but it was better for you to be so stunned. Everyone is embarrassed.

However, Luo Sheng didn't mind, he still smiled, and answered his question with an exception: "Your idea is very good, and it has a lot of room for imagination. The Cote d'Azur may be able to study its feasibility."

This is a bit intriguing. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. When friends and businessmen heard Luo Sheng's words, whether he was intentional or not, their minds suddenly became active.
