Chapter 137: The dilemma facing Apple!

Views:

The new product launch of Huawei Mobile Phone ended amidst cheers and excitement.

The success of this press conference is obviously unmatched by any other mobile phone press conference.

At the end of the conference, Huawei Mobile CEO Yu Chengdong announced a major news in front of everyone. That is, in order to repay the long-awaited netizens from all over the world, Huawei Company plans to take out 10 million "Cicada Wing" mobile phones in advance and put them for sale on its official website until they are sold out.

In addition, Huawei Company will entrust Jiang's Shipping to deliver the Cicada Wing mobile phone to the hands of the ordering users as quickly as possible!

This caused all the media reporters and guests present, as well as the netizens who were watching the press conference through the live webcast, to go completely crazy.

You know, according to the original plan, the official sale of the "Cicada Wing" mobile phone will be on the day after the press conference, and it will be shipped to all parts of the world through air and sea logistics and then sold on site.

As a result, if netizens want to experience the style and performance of the first generation of flexible mobile phones, it will take at least two or three days. This is obviously a great torture for netizens who have just watched the press conference.

However, the "easter egg" at the press conference came unexpectedly!

Being able to place an order from Huawei’s official website and get exclusive express delivery service from Jiang’s Shipping Company is definitely a great blessing!

For a moment, all the media reporters and guests present gave up their work, took out their mobile phones and logged into Huawei's official website. The netizens who were watching the live broadcast also logged into Huawei's official website as quickly as possible.

A massive rush sale has officially begun!

However, compared with hundreds of millions of netizens, the 10 million Cicada Wing mobile phones prepared by Huawei today are obviously not enough.

As a result, the 10 million Cicada Wing mobile phones were sold out in just a few minutes, which made the netizens who were a step slower beat their chests and stamp their feet in regret.

"Damn it! I logged onto Huawei's official website the moment I heard the news from Yu Dazui, but I still haven't gotten one yet, you beasts!"

"I'm crying! I've been practicing my Qilin Arm for twelve years, but I still can't beat you guys!"

"Has anyone got it? I'd pay twice the price for it!"

"Hahahaha! I actually got it! And the price is so cheap, only 960 US dollars!"

"Oh my god! Is it so cheap? Isn't it much cheaper than the iPhone X?"

"Thank you, Lord Jiang, for your conscientious product. Unlike some Apple products, whose hearts are as black as charcoal and they only take advantage of the middle class like me!"

"That's right! The price of $960 is really too cheap. You know, this is a new generation of flexible mobile phone!"

"Island Master Jiang is so kind. I'm so moved that I cry. I was thinking of selling a kidney. Hahahaha, now I don't have to!"

“Although I didn’t get it, I was happy to see the price. I hope I can buy it in a physical store in three days!”

Although the first batch of Cicada Wing mobile phones were sold out in just a few minutes, which disappointed the netizens who failed to get one, the prices revealed on the official website made many netizens extremely excited!

Because this price is cheaper than that of previous well-known brands such as Apple and Samsung, it is undoubtedly a very conscientious technology product.

Therefore, the response on the Internet was very enthusiastic, and everyone was looking forward to this new product, flexible mobile phone, even more.

And at the same time.

America.

Cupertino, California.

Inside a spacious conference room in Apple's "spaceship" headquarters building, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Apple CEO Tim Cook sat in the first seat, staring at the price of the "Cicada Wing" mobile phone displayed on Huawei's official website without blinking, with a solemn look on his face.

Cook is feeling very depressed right now!

He had already anticipated the hot sales of Huawei mobile phones, and he was even prepared to deal with the challenges of the arrival of flexible technology.

It was under this situation that he was able to acquire Samsung Electronics through his connections at the top.

You know, although Samsung Electronics has now fallen to the point where everyone is calling for its destruction, it is still a very powerful electronics company after all, especially in LCD screen technology, where it has inherent advantages that even Apple cannot match.

And he integrated Samsung Electronics in order to focus on flexible technology, catch up with Emerald Island, and then regain the initiative in the mobile phone market!

However, since it is more than one step behind Emerald Island, it is not so easy to catch up with the technology.

Therefore, in order to retain Apple mobile phone users, he must launch several new products currently in his hands, and then focus on flexible technology.

In Cook's view, although Emerald Island's efforts to promote flexible mobile phones in conjunction with China's four major mobile phone giants will dominate the future mobile phone market to a large extent, it is impossible to occupy the entire market.

The main reason is the price!

That’s right!

The production cost of a new generation of technological products like flexible mobile phones must be extremely high, which means that its selling price will never be low, and may even far exceed the price of Apple mobile phones.

As a result, there are still only a few users in the world who can actually afford flexible mobile phones.

Other users have become potential customers of Apple mobile phones. Today, Apple has successfully integrated Samsung, which allows its production prices to be further reduced.

As a result, the high price of Apple mobile phones, which has always been criticized by the general public, can be reduced, which becomes a major advantage.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the four major mobile phone manufacturers including Huawei to completely snatch Apple's market space. This is one of the important reasons why Cook is not panicked even though he knows that he is facing changes in the mobile phone era.

However.

All of this was shattered when he logged onto Huawei Mobile's official website and saw the price of the "Cicada Wing" phone!

960 US dollars!

This is even cheaper than an Apple phone!

Is this guy crazy

Can you make money with this kind of pricing

In an instant, an incredible look appeared in Cook's eyes, and all kinds of thoughts emerged in Cook's mind.

This is impossible!

The reason for such a low price is that it is far lower than the production cost of flexible mobile phones!

This is a conspiracy!

This is the Emerald Isle conspiracy!

It wants to join forces with China's four major mobile phone giants to completely defeat Apple!

After much thought, Cook could only come to this conclusion.

That is, Emerald Island joined forces with the four giants of China's mobile phone industry to seize the mobile phone market share at a huge loss, and then forced Apple to engage in a price war with it. Eventually, it fell into bankruptcy due to insolvency!
