Financial freedom starts with a monthly income of XNUMX

Mr. Xu is quite curious about this question.

However, this kind of thing is generally an internal corporate secret. Unless Yuanfang Group wants everyone to know, no one can know the detailed data and can only make a rough estimate.

“How many units have been ordered now?”

Gao Yuan looked at Li Mengqing beside him and asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll refresh it."

Li Mengqing refreshed the page on her computer. "So far, the number of orders has exceeded three million units."

While they were talking, the number of users placing orders increased again.

This is also due to the fact that after the press conference, many people went to the official website to place orders after watching it.

Mr. Xu glanced at the time. It had been less than an hour and a half since the purchasing channels were opened.

Three million orders were placed in ninety minutes, with an average of 33300 users placing orders every minute and nearly 550 orders per second.

Horror!
When the Warwick mobile phone was released, its performance was not even half as good as that of the Yuanfang mobile phone.

"It seems that our Warwick Group has to give up the mobile phone business." Mr. Xu said with a wry smile.

Compared with Yuanfang mobile phone, the entire Warwick mobile phone does not have the slightest advantage.

Originally, Warwick Group's biggest advantage was its self-developed systems and chips, and Yuanfang Group was also developing its own systems. The systems had already been developed and the chips were about to go into mass production.

Their chip is actually 1 nanometer!
This technology alone is enough to shock the world.

I just don't know how many they have mass-produced.

According to Mr. Xu's estimation, it should not have been put into large-scale production yet, otherwise it would not have been installed only on the founding edition, and it would have been limited to 10,000 units.

"Mr. Xu, you're joking. Let's develop together, occupy the domestic market together, and try to drive Apple phones out of the country as soon as possible." Gao Yuan said.

"By the way, Mr. Gao, I'm very interested in the founding edition of the Yuanfang mobile phone. I wonder what the conditions are for purchasing this phone?" Mr. Xu asked.

When the press conference was held, Mr. Xu was quite curious.

In fact, not only Mr. Xu, but netizens all over the Internet are very curious.

At this press conference, Gao Yuan appeared on twenty-three hot searches in total.

The number one hot search was that Yuanfang mobile phone was officially released with a starting price of 5999 yuan.

The number of views of this hot search reached about 150 million, which means that 150 million people knew the news.

This is just data from a few hours tonight. By tomorrow, I'm afraid that 300 to 400 million people will see the relevant videos.

Most netizens are quite satisfied with Gao Yuan. Anything produced by Yuanfang Group must be of high quality.

They believe that the performance of Yuanfang mobile phone must be good and they will make a good deal if they buy it.

Some netizens are skeptical, thinking that this is the first time that Yuanfang Mobile has made a mobile phone and it has no experience. It will definitely fail if it attempts to enter the high-end market right away.

As for these netizens, Gao Yuan also allowed them to speak freely and did not let YouApp control the comments.

Only when they actually use Yuanfang Mobile will they realize its superiority.

The second hot search was about grabbing red envelopes. Unexpectedly, a lucky person actually appeared this time. Someone tried his luck and grabbed a red envelope of 3.8 million, which is the largest red envelope amount issued so far.

After he posted the screenshot, it instantly attracted the attention of countless netizens, who all left a message in the comment section to try their luck.

This is nearly 4 million yuan! For ordinary people, as long as they don’t buy a house in a first-tier city and only live in a second- or third-tier city, and don’t spend money recklessly, they can live a life without worries about food and clothing.

A huge sum of 3 million yuan, calculated at a bank interest rate of 11.5%, would mean an annual interest of about yuan, equivalent to a monthly income of over yuan.

For people in first-tier cities, a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan may not be a big deal, but for people in second-tier or even third- and fourth-tier cities, a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan is definitely considered a high income.

In addition, there were three other people who grabbed red envelopes worth more than one million yuan, and they all posted videos on the short video platform to show off.

Dozens of fans grabbed red envelopes worth hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of fans grabbed red envelopes worth tens of thousands.

Although it is not as outrageous as 3.8 million, tens of thousands of yuan can temporarily improve the lives of these people.

This is a red envelope where luck is the key. Some people get more money, while others get less. Many people posted screenshots of themselves grabbing a penny and burst into tears.

As soon as this trending search came out, many netizens who did not go to Gao Yuan’s live broadcast room to watch it regretted it so much that they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

According to Gao Yuan's idea, if 1 billion yuan in cash was given out as live broadcast benefits and 20 million people were competing for it, if it was distributed equally, each person could only get about 50 yuan.

Some people find it troublesome and are too lazy to watch it, thinking that fifty dollars is nothing.

But as soon as the screenshots of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars came out, they became restless.

If they try their best, their bicycles will become motorcycles. Who knows if they will be the next lucky ones? If they can't win, grabbing a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan is not bad.

The third hot search was about the performance of Yuanfang Group’s mobile phones. Many bloggers posted videos to predict the performance of Yuanfang mobile phones.

These analysis videos are true and false. Some people are indeed capable. When analyzing Yuanfang’s mobile phone, they are very knowledgeable and speak very clearly, touching Gao Yuan’s heart.

There are also bloggers who do this purely for the sake of criticizing others, and you can tell at a glance that they are paid for it.

The video released seems fair and just, but in fact it praises Apple phones and belittles Yuanfang phones.

It was not until the fourth hot search that people began to ask what the requirements were for purchasing the Yuanfang Mobile Founder Edition.

This is also what Mr. Xu is interested in, but no one has answered it online yet.

Gao Yuan did not intend to beat around the bush and said directly, "The company must have been established for more than three years, and for three consecutive years, the company's net profit must be greater than five million."

It seems like a high requirement, but there are many bosses who can meet this condition.

“What if it is a listed company but its financial reports have been showing losses for several consecutive years?”

Lei Jun asked, "Mr. Gao, there are many people like this. Although they are losing money, the market value of their companies is also over 100 billion."

"Hahaha, of course this situation needs to be treated differently. The market value is there. Even if there is no net profit within three years, we can still sell it to them," Gao Yuan said, "Since Yuanfang Group intends to build Yuanfang mobile phone into a high-end brand, it must create exclusive mobile phones for people with identity and status." There are 10,000 limited edition units, each priced at about 17,000 yuan, and in the end they can make a profit of about 170 million yuan.

Compared with the three series of Yuanfang mobile phones, namely the basic, pro and deluxe versions, the final revenue is definitely not enough. When this series of mobile phones is finally loaded together, the total sales will exceed 300 billion.

But Gao Yuan did this purely to increase the popularity of Yuanfang mobile phones.

When most celebrities, entrepreneurs, and bosses started using this phone, it was equivalent to advertising for Yuanfang Mobile invisibly.

Those employees thought that since even their boss was using a Yuanfang cell phone, the performance of the Yuanfang cell phone must be very good.

So they automatically convert into users of distant mobile phones.

The launch of the founding edition of this mobile phone can be said to kill two birds with one stone, making money while allowing those bosses to advertise.

"I thought Mr. Lei was a genius in marketing, but now it seems that Mr. Gao is the real genius."

Mr. Xu couldn't help but say.

This marketing method seems simple, but it actually involves many complex factors.

Only Gao Yuan can accomplish such a thing, because he is the richest man in China. When he uses the founding version of Yuanfang mobile phone, many business owners will surely imitate and learn from him.

Gao Yuan is equivalent to a walking advertising spokesperson. Because of his IP, Yuanfang Group can save at least tens of billions of yuan in advertising fees every year.

After the press conference, Yuanfang Group held a celebration banquet.

As the host, Gao Yuan invited celebrities from Hangzhou to attend the banquet. Dignitaries, entrepreneurs, celebrities... all came to attend. Zhejiang University also sent representatives to participate in this event.

Gao Yuan was somewhat disgusted with this kind of activity, but there was nothing he could do since he was the host.

Gao Yuan toasted to the important guests and chatted with them.

When he walked in front of President Huang of Zhejiang University, he saw President Huang raise his glass first and said, "Congratulations to Gao Yuan for his achievements in the field of mobile phones. We at Zhejiang University have discussed and plan to nominate you as one of the top ten outstanding alumni for the 130th anniversary of the founding of the university."

Based on Gao Yuan’s current contributions, he deserves this position.

Not to mention that Gao Yuan is the richest man, his donation of 10 billion yuan to Zhejiang University alone has created an unprecedented record of alumni donations.

"I am flattered by the kindness of the school," Gao Yuan said. "I graduated from Zhejiang University. The school has nurtured me for four years. Now that I have achieved academic success, I should give back to my alma mater."

……

At the same time that Gao Yuan was holding a celebration banquet, at the Apple Mobile China regional headquarters.

Ge Xin was born in Liao Province in northeast China. After graduating from high school, he went abroad to study and obtained a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Simon Fraser University. He then went to the University of California, Berkeley to obtain a master's degree in business administration.

Since then, she has been working abroad. With a technical background and focusing on research and development, she has led the wireless technology software team of Apple Mobile for nine years and participated in the development of Apple Mobile WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, positioning and motion technologies. She has also led the development of Apple Pay, HomeKit and CarPlay.

Eight years ago, Ge Xin was promoted to vice president of Apple Mobile and managing director of the China region, reporting directly to CEO Cook.

She is the only Asian executive in Apple's mobile phone group.

At this time, Ge Xin was meeting with a group of leaders of the Huaxia District branch. Two hours later, he would have a video conference with the head office.

"Mr. Ge, I also watched the launch of Yuanfang Mobile Phone. I think they are exaggerating a lot, but the actual product must be very poor."

A responsible person said.

"That's right!" another person in charge echoed, "They also said they would come up with a 1-nanometer chip and made a founding edition phone for 1 yuan. This price is too outrageous, and can they really make a 7-nanometer chip? I doubt it."

That's a 1-nanometer chip. Most machines today are only equipped with -nanometer and -nanometer chips.

Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world. It currently mainly produces A series processors and M series processors. The A series processors are specially designed for mobile devices such as Apple phones to improve the performance of Apple phones.

The latest chip released by Fruit Group is the M4 chip, which uses the second-generation 3-nanometer process technology. Their company is stepping up the development of 2-nanometer chips, which are expected to be launched next year.

As for 1-nanometer chips, it will take at least three to five years to develop them.

Who knew that Yuanfang Group would actually launch a 1-nanometer chip right now? Is this a joke?
The largest technology company in the world hasn’t developed it yet, but a company like Yuanfang Group has developed it easily?

They don’t believe it anyway.

"Whether you doubt it or not, Yuanfang Group's mobile phone has been officially released. According to statistics from their official website, the number of orders exceeded four million in just five hours."

"That is to say, our iPhone sales volume dropped by 4 million units, and our revenue dropped by more than 20 billion yuan."

The sales of fruit phones in China had been declining. Originally, they were the only company producing high-end phones. At that time, the fruit company was at its peak, and some people even sold their kidneys to buy fruit phones.

Now, not only is Warwick squeezing their market, but another company, Yuanfang Mobile, has emerged.

"The most urgent task is to find a way to suppress Yuanfang Mobile." Ge Xin said, "Huawei Mobile has already risen. It is difficult for us to suppress it. However, Yuanfang Mobile is different. They are definitely not familiar with the newly developed mobile phone business."

"Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to speak up."

As soon as Ge Xin finished speaking, a vice president said, "The simplest way is to start a price war. We have the advantage. As long as we can lower the price, we will definitely be able to increase sales in a short period of time and make it impossible for Yuanfang to sell its mobile phones."

The cost of building a factory to sell mobile phones is too high.

The higher the sales volume, the more the cost of factory construction and research and development can be diluted.

After so many years of selling fruit phones, the cost has been reduced to a very low level, and the net profit is particularly high.

Even if the price of an Apple phone drops by 2,000 yuan, their profits will still be considerable.

"No, price cuts have to be reported to the headquarters for approval. We don't have the authority, and the headquarters will definitely not approve it." Ge Xin said, "For so many years, Apple phones have never had a price cut."

According to the company's top management, these are truly excellent products and it would be good enough if the price did not increase. Lowering the price would only lower the quality of the product.

"Then they bought some online trolls to discredit Yuanfang Mobile, and bought some marketing accounts to run soft ads," said another vice president. "This is the simplest method. Through media dissemination, it is created that Yuanfang Mobile is actually worth 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, but it is sold for 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. This is obviously a scam."

"Once this impression is fixed, even if Yuanfang Mobile wants to reverse the trend, it will be unable to do so."

"I suggest that we spend 10 billion yuan on marketing. We must nip Yuanfang Mobile in the bud. Their glory will only last for a month or two, and then it will take a sharp turn for the worse." (End of this chapter)
