Chapter 503: 311-312: Hot pre-sale! (4000 words)
The current market situation is completely beyond Hillhouse's expectations.

On the first day of pre-sale, Hillhouse’s shares in Freeport seemed to have sensed something and opened directly higher!

The stock price rose directly from HK$92 to HK$113, a direct and violent increase of 23%!

Over the past six months, Hillhouse's stock has been showing a slow bull trend despite some turbulence due to its growing performance.

Generally, the situation is to retreat one step and advance three steps, or retreat two steps and advance three steps.

However, the launch of Hillhouse's three-fold mobile phone came almost without any warning, and institutions are extremely optimistic about the company.

The momentum of the violent pull-up is very eye-catching amid the all-red trend of H shares today.

Companies that have developed independent market trends like this either have large insider information about major mergers and acquisitions, or have significant performance demonstrations.

It is really unheard of that Hillhouse’s performance is soaring before it is even released.

It can only be said that the institution has obtained the actual prototype of Hillhouse Technology's product and is very optimistic about its prospects.

Hillhouse is now a large company with sales exceeding 100 billion yuan and a market value of over 1 trillion yuan.

For a company of such a large scale, with such a huge increase, it is like an elephant dancing.

This can be described as rare, especially when the entire H-share market is still in a downward channel.

It's like.

The older sisters who do live broadcasts on the Xiaoling APP know that after a long time, they have to shoot something cleaner to barely reach the number of views they had when they were young.

Even those aunts from the island countries started to shoot heavy-taste movies in the later period of their debut. After all, if it is still the usual routine, why wouldn’t clients watch young girls?

There is no way, every industry is now extremely competitive.

The benefits of Gao Huaijun holding a product launch conference for pressed duck came to light at this time. Not only in China, but also many media abroad have conducted corresponding follow-up reports.

For example, NHK, the television media of the very aloof island nation, made a rare report on Hillhouse’s tri-fold mobile phone during its prime-time TV program!
"Hillhouse, a fast-growing Chinese smartphone maker, has released its latest model of a tri-fold phone."

"And Hillhouse Island will sell their other mobile phone, Hillhouse Nova3, this month."

“It’s a pity that we can’t see this amazing product on the island.”

"As competition in smartphone lenses intensifies, this new phone is equipped with four lenses and is a very thin and light flexible folding screen phone."

"The two front lenses also have a function that automatically sets the best shooting method by recognizing the AI's feet and placed objects, allowing the photographer to automatically set the best shooting method."

"Data from US research firm IDC shows that the global smartphone market has long been dominated by Apple."

"This is a war between Pingguo and Gaoling!"

"But in the second quarter of this year, Hillhouse's shipments grew by 15 percentage points."

"It has gained an 8% market share, ranking second in the world, and has seriously threatened Pingguo's market position."

"When the latest iPhone was unveiled today, Hillhouse's tri-fold smartphone was also launched for pre-sale on the same day."

"And the sales price of this phone, called mateST, will start at an astonishing 30 yen."

As soon as NHK broadcast this information, the hottest forum in Yahoo! Island Country discussed Hillhouse's triple-folding screen mobile phone accordingly.

[Some people are discussing the island nation’s smartphone technology, but the only surviving island nation smartphone is the Xperia, which is now a Lenovo model.]

[To be honest, when it comes to smartphones, the island nation no longer has any leading edge, which is a pity.]

[Gao Ling has come up with a killer phone: a three-fold smartphone; meanwhile, Ping Guo: new colors! ]

【高瓴三折智能手机“MateXT”的售价约为2万至2.4万元华币(30万至40万日元),根据可靠消息目前预订数量已超过210万台。至此,800亿元的销售额已经确定(约1.5万亿日元华国有钱人太多了吗?哈哈如果你有这个,你就不再需要平板电脑了即使你在外面也可以在大屏幕上看到股票所以我可能想要它哈哈。】

[Today we have a space to talk about Mate XT, iPhone? When I see a tri-fold smartphone, I no longer care about it. 】

【As an android fan, I can’t help but be moved by the Mate XT with its octagonal camera! Although I can’t buy it!】

[Mate XT is too good~ It’s too expensive for me to buy. I hope TECNO can release a 70% discount in the next few days…]

【Gao Ling's Mate XT! This is a dream three-fold phone, but it's super expensive, about 40 yen, but I'm not satisfied with the performance at this price. I have to wait for a rough grain phone or vivo equipped with the latest Snapdragon chip. 】

Amid the excitement, the first-day subscription battle between Pingguo and Hillhouse was beyond many people's expectations, and the winner was decided on the day of the game.

The method of determining the winner was also unexpected; it actually relied on scalpers!

The information #Gaoling’s three-fold screen mobile phone sold out in seconds, and “scalpers” raised the price by 20,000 or 30,000 yuan but still couldn’t get it# was uploaded to the Internet at the first opportunity.

"A Securities Times e-company reporter went to the Pingguo Yitian Holiday Plaza store and saw that, as in previous years, many users who had pre-ordered new phones lined up in front of the store to receive their new phones, but the flow of people was slightly less than in previous years. At the same time, around the store, as in previous years, there were many "scalpers" who were recycling the new iPhone series on site."

[We only accept iPhone 9 Max with a 200 yuan increase. We will not accept it in the afternoon. We are also betting on the market. Hillhouse's three-fold screen sells for around 2 yuan. Even if we increase the price by or yuan, we will not be able to accept it. The total price must be or yuan.]

[I also buy the iPhone 9 Pro version, but the price increase is very small, only 50-100 yuan per unit. ]

[It's not even enough for the taxi fare, I'll take it for free. 】

After a brief interview with these scalpers, the news article further elaborated: "In comparison, in previous years, when the new iPhone was launched, consumers generally had to pay an additional 800 to several thousand yuan to buy Pro and above versions from the market. Last year, the highest price increase for iPhone8 Pro Max was over 2000 yuan."

"What's even more worrying is that the price of the basic iPhone has already fallen below the issue price before it went on sale."

“iPhone9系列开售前一日,iPhone 9官网价格5999起,电商桃宝的补贴价5399元起,直降600元;iPhone 9 Plus官网价格9999元电商桃宝的补贴价8999元,折扣力度高达1000元。”

"In contrast, the popularity of Hillhouse's foldable phone before its launch was extremely high. Data from Hillhouse Mall's official website showed that as of now, the number of reservations for Hillhouse Mate XT has reached 362.2 million, and this number does not include reservations for offline flagship stores."

"After the rush to buy began, all models of the Mate XT tri-fold phone were sold out in seconds. Currently, online platforms such as Hillhouse Mall, Jindong, and Taobao flagship store all show "temporarily out of stock."

"That morning, Mr. Gao Huaijun, Chairman of Hillhouse Group, publicly stated that the sales of Hillhouse's three-fold screen mobile phone far exceeded expectations, and the team is working overtime to expand production capacity." "At the same time, Mr. Gao also said that consumers are requested to wait patiently, and Hillhouse will send the corresponding products to every patiently waiting customer."

“[We couldn’t buy it even if we wanted to],” a Hillhouse employee told reporters.

"The reporter found on some second-hand platforms in China that the price of Hillhouse MateXT mobile phones is as high as 6.8 yuan per unit, and several units have been sold! This shows that this is not just a self-indulgence of having a price but no market."

At the end of the article, the reporter concluded.

"One of the core reasons why the iPhone series sales did not meet expectations is that the products are highly homogenized and cannot be differentiated from other products."

"Therefore, it is not surprising that it will be directly crushed by Hillhouse's tri-fold smartphone in a head-on collision."

"At the same time, Ethan Qi, an expert in electronic information industry research and deputy director of Counterpoint Research, told reporters that the launch of this new product can consolidate Hillhouse's technological leadership in the field of foldable screens. To a certain extent, this is a correct strategy, because this process will help Hillhouse accumulate experience in developing more complex foldable smartphones. In addition, as foldable screen technology matures and consumers become more and more accepting of foldable screen phones, it is very wise for Hillhouse to choose this time to launch new products with more acceptable weight, thickness and reliability. Now may be a good time for Hillhouse to take foldable design to a new level."

This direct collision between Hillhouse and Pingguo has also triggered a lot of discussion among the general public.

[A mobile phone of 20,000 yuan or around 30,000 yuan is something that only rich people would buy. I always thought that 50,000 or 100,000 yuan would be unnecessary. But I didn’t expect that someone would actually buy this thing. This really refreshed my worldview! ]

[The boss received the first tri-fold screen mobile phone: Oh, this thing is not cheap, right? I'll make you spend money! The boss received the 1th tri-fold screen mobile phone: OK, I got your kindness. You can take the thing back and wait for notification. This is the core reason why this phone is sold at a higher price. ]

[The above person really put the essence of gift giving into perspective. The first gift is about social connections, and everything after that is just a gift.]

[If you earn 5 yuan a month and your boss says he has no money, you have two choices: 5 iPhone 9 pro max or 1 Mate XT to pay for this month's salary, which one would you choose? ]

[Upstairs... Can't I choose the Labor Arbitration Committee? ]

[The person above is not playing by the rules! ]

[Labor Arbitration Committee: Comrade, we unanimously recommend that you choose Hillhouse! ]

【The price increase of 100,000 is really exaggerated. This is just an electronic product. It is a product that can be produced as much as you want, but the price increase of about 10,000 is reasonable. It is not to say that the price increase proves how good the product is or whether it is worth the extra money, but it is a fact that conforms to the market situation. Regardless of whether the 30% folding thing is easy to use or advanced, it is indeed one of the manifestations of some groups pursuing various needs such as "advanced sense" and "sense of technology", and they are indeed willing to pay more to meet the needs as quickly as possible. This is a fact, and we need to respect this fact. Because I really met someone around me who added 10,000 yuan to buy the first generation of folding screens. So I can especially understand this behavior. This also proves that the 30% folding is popular at least from a market perspective. 】

[Whether it is Pingguo or Hillhouse, these high-end machines are all the target of scalpers’ speculation. They make money from the first wave of money. By stirring up the anxiety, some people will naturally agree to buy at a higher price. ]

[How could Gaoling be qualified to enter the field of scalpers before? In the past, the chicken speculation was dominated by Pingguo. Now domestic machines are also worth speculating, which shows that Pingguo’s generation is really good... 】

[A three-fold fruit that costs three or four times as much as a pingguo, and is even more popular than a pingguo. It's really amazing! ]

This article, as well as the fate of the scalpers, can be said to have pushed the launch of Hillhouse's three-fold mobile phone to its peak.

In China, before the tri-fold mobile phone, mobile phone products have always been in a catching-up situation, and Hillhouse's product pricing has always been known for its high cost-effectiveness.

This time, it’s really completely different!

. . . . . .

"This time it was done really well!" Gao Huaijun looked at the pre-sale report in front of him and looked at Min Weiguo in front of him with great satisfaction.

In fact, he doesn't need to look at it. Now Hillhouse's tri-fold mobile phone is simply the traffic password. Reporters can be said to be squatting at the door of Hillhouse, waiting for the market data of Hillhouse's tri-fold mobile phone.

I can only say that everyone was shocked by Hillhouse’s performance this time!

"Now, after removing some of the duplicate reservations made by scalpers, we estimate that the actual number of reservations is about 200 million!"

"200 million units!"

"I, Old Min, never dreamed of such a terrifying number!"

Min Weiguo said with emotion.

In fact, insiders all know that compared with Gao Huaijun's previous life, the technology maturity of this product is not as high and the production capacity is very limited.

The original plan to produce was only 100 million units.

This is the number of cells that are usually found in dual-folding mobile phones.

Gao Huaijun also agreed and thought this number was about right.

Even if the production capacity is urgently doubled, it will probably take more than a year to produce the 200 million units that have been pre-ordered!

and so.

This product provides scalpers with a huge arbitrage space.

As long as anything is scarce, there will be room for scalpers.

Not to mention calligraphy and paintings, antiques, even the oil stamps printed casually by the post office are collectibles.

Hillhouse's tri-fold mobile phone was immediately popular with bosses and naturally became a financial product.

"Don't panic!"

"You can hold a meeting for several core suppliers later. I will attend."

"I'll force them."

"We can't let scalpers mess up the entire price system this time."

“Otherwise, it will be difficult to position the products later.”

Gao Huaijun said after thinking for a moment.

Now that Hillhouse has launched such a popular high-end product, its status in the hearts of suppliers will definitely be higher.

Gao Huaijun naturally wouldn't be too nice to them.

Just force it when it’s necessary!
