"Mr. President, Mr. General Manager, the data has been calculated. As of 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 5,472 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones have been sold in our 16 business halls. The results are several times better than expected!" While Weili and Landon Moore were chatting in the office and waiting for the final sales data, the staff member in charge of statistics ran over to report excitedly.
According to their original expected sales volume, they would be very satisfied if they could sell one or two thousand units on the first day.
Unexpectedly, 5472 units were sold!
Behind every mobile phone represents HKD 25,199!
In other words, in just one day today, sales reached a terrifying 137.9 million.
Coupled with the sales at last night's press conference, it has exceeded 150 million Hong Kong dollars.
Hearing this data, both Wei Li and Landon Moore laughed from ear to ear.
"I know, finish the work at hand, get off work, and go back to celebrate the holidays with your family." Langdon Moore said to the staff in front of him in standard Xiangjiang dialect.
"Okay, Mr. President, Mr. General Manager, happy New Year's Eve!" The staff gave them blessings before leaving.
“Happy New Year’s Eve!” Langdon Moore replied with a smile.
Even Wei Li expressed his gratitude in a not very authentic Xiangjiang dialect, and also wished this low-ranking employee his best wishes.
"It's really unexpected. It was even better than we expected!" Weili said with emotion.
"Yes, Mr. Wei Li, but we will face another problem, not enough goods! Fortunately, during the press conference, it was specifically mentioned that it may take less than 7 days to pick up the goods." Langdon· Moore answered.
In fact, Hutchison Telecom's inventory is only about 10,000 units.
Last night, 515 units were sold, and today another 5,472 units were sold. In two days, nearly 6,000 units of the 10,000 units in stock have been removed!
In other words, there are only about 4,000 units left in actual inventory.
Originally, their prediction was that these 10,000 units could not last for about a week.
I really didn’t expect that this mobile phone, the first commercially available mobile phone in the world, would be so popular.
“There are too many rich people in Xiangjiang!” Wei Li said with a smile.
“Next, the production department can only work overtime during the Chinese New Year. They work overtime 24 hours a day to produce. With a newly opened assembly line, it is basically no problem to produce a thousand units a day. I don’t know the status of subsequent purchases. What will happen?" Landon Moore said.
"I estimate that the first 30,000 to 40,000 units will be very popular. When the millionaires and above are all buying them, our sales will begin to decline. At that time, we can only continue to tap the wealth of ordinary people below There are millions of people, and we have to actively explore overseas markets. After all, we can’t make too much from just a small Xiangjiang!" Wei Li thought for a while and said.
“Well, although the potential users of Xiangjiang may only be 100,000 at most, we still need to provide good services. Selling products is just a one-time business, but in the future we will collect monthly rent, which is not a small sum. In terms of revenue, by then, perhaps with the rise of mobile phones, our market share of Hutchison Telecom may be able to surpass that of Xiangjiang Telecom!" Langdon Moore said with a smile.
If there are 100,000 fixed mobile phone users in Hong Kong, and each user charges a fixed fee of HK$200 per month, it is equivalent to Hutchison Telecommunications Company being able to collect HK$2,000 per month by relying on monthly rent. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, in one year, it will be 240 million Hong Kong dollars.
As time goes by, the longer this business lasts, the more money it will make. After all, at least in the short term, Hutchison Telecom will monopolize the mobile phone market in Hong Kong. As for other companies, they do not have the strength and technology to grab this business.
Ten or twenty years later, when Heung Kong Telecom was finally able to enter the mobile telecommunications market, Hutchison Telecom had already consolidated its position.
As long as it doesn't seek death, Hutchison Telecom will be the most powerful mobile telecommunications provider in Hong Kong in the future.
Now, the goal of 100,000 units seems to be very high. But Su Cheng knows that in the future, except for children, almost everyone will have their own mobile phone, or mobile phone!
By then, the small market of Xiangjiang alone will have millions of users.
Of course, in the short term, selling equipment will definitely make money faster.
For example, today's turnover exceeded HK$130 million. Although this includes one month's monthly rent, it only accounts for a small proportion.
“Speaking of other markets, I will make an appointment with the Governor of Haojiang another day. I believe he is also interested in making Haojiang the second city in the world to commercialize mobile phones. The premise is that our mobile phones The production speed must keep up!" Weili said.
Haojiang is a small place, with a current population of only about 240,000.
However, relying on the gambling industry, many people have become rich.
These people who rely on the service industry to develop are also potential customers.
The most important thing is that Haojiang is a small area. If Hutchison Telecom wants to expand the market in Haojiang, it will be able to cover the entire Haojiang city with mobile signals without even building a few base stations.
Of course, the current goal is to finish the Xiangjiang Market first.
When the Xiangjiang market is almost full, Hutchison Telecom can safely develop overseas.
"Mr. Wei Li, this is a good idea. Although Haojiang has a small population, I think there will be at least several thousand potential customers. In addition, I think we can choose Singapore as the third market. The population of Slope is more than half that of Xiangjiang, and there are many rich people. The development potential is not worse than that of Xiangjiang. This market must be captured as soon as possible!" Langdon Moore also put forward his own opinion.
The two began to discuss again in the office.
Su family villa.
Zhong Chuhong drove to his home in Su Cheng at noon.
Of course Su Cheng would be happy to have a beautiful woman accompany him during the New Year.
It is a pity that fireworks cannot be set off in Xiangjiang, otherwise Sioux City will definitely have people buy some fireworks back.
On New Year’s Eve, without fireworks, where would there be such an atmosphere!
Hong Kong enacted legislation in 1967 to strictly prohibit the unauthorized setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. Once convicted, the maximum penalty is a fine of 25,000 Hong Kong dollars and six months' imprisonment;
If placing bombs or using explosives, including fireworks, involves criminal damage, it is Serious crimes are punishable by up to ten years in prison. If casualties are caused, the offender may be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Therefore, even if Sioux City dares to set off fireworks, there is no place to buy them in Xiangjiang because no one dares to sell them.
In the evening, when the whole villa was preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere, Su City once again received good news from Landon Moore calling to report.
Hearing that 5,472 mobile phones were sold in just one day, Su Cheng had to sigh, there are so many rich people in Xiangjiang! (End of chapter)
