v2 Chapter 481: Williams vivo camera phone

   These consortiums in the United States have gone through a hundred years, and their power and relationships are intertwined. With Henry's strength, he can feel a huge spider web in front of him more and more. ∈♀The power of these chaebols controls the direction of the United States, which is not comparable to Henry as a "newcomer". But Henry's rapid rise was too terrifying, making them feel a deep sense of crisis, so that they were the same enemy, and they dealt with Henry together, just like they dealt with the Rothschild family back then.

  In the new Internet industry, they naturally cannot fight Henry, but in traditional industries, such as energy, automobiles, food, military, finance, aircraft, etc., it is a situation of chasing and blocking. Henry was not afraid of civil competition. But in recent years, the government's orders have dropped significantly.

   Although Henry is also trying his best to support his own political power, in the final analysis, he can't compare with the accumulation of others over the past century. At the same time, the United States will not allow the existence of behemoths that override the country.

   Henry carefully considered Charles's suggestion for two days. At the same time, he also asked people to investigate information about Somalia and Ethiopia. According to the information, there are thirty or forty warlords of all sizes in Somalia, and their total strength is less than 60,000. The police and army in Ethiopia barely reach 200,000 in total. However, the annual military expenditure is less than 350 million U.S. dollars, which is not as expensive as the F22 Raptor produced by the Ares Arms Company. Both need 400 million US dollars! It is hard to imagine how trash the Ethiopian armed forces are! Even if all the 200,000 troops are pulled out, they are all mobs!

   In contrast, Heishui has a normal armed force of more than 300,000, a large number of elites, and sophisticated weapons and equipment, which is not weaker than the military of a world power. In addition, the Heishui base has millions of orphans who have undergone militarization education. They have begun to grow up and are the best and most loyal soldiers, and they are well-educated and will be able to manage the country in the future!

   Henry didn't think about himself, but also for the Heishui orphans. He had to find a place for them to settle down. Undoubtedly, occupying Somalia is a good choice. Henry remembered that when the Iraq War broke out in 2003, the United States was deeply mired in the war, and naturally there was no time for him to take care of it. By then, it would happen to be able to conquer Ethiopia!

   Henry then replied to Charles and decided to establish a nation. Later, Sean was summoned, and Charles planned the matter.

   In the middle of the night of December 1, a war broke out on the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea. The fighting was fierce and there were countless casualties. Ethiopia and Eritrea, which were planning to sign a peace agreement, have begun to fight back. A week later, 50,000 elite Blackwater troops secretly arrived in Somalia, and then detonated the warlord's melee, and the war once spread to the whole country.

   Henry has no doubt about whether Blackwater can win Somalia, and what he has to do now is to make money and develop technology.

   Yesterday, Sharp held a product launch conference and launched the world's first mobile phone with a camera.

"Welcome everyone to participate in Sharp’s product launches. In the past, mobile phones could only be used to make calls, and later developed to send text messages and surf the Internet... But today, Sharp wants to tell you that in addition to these functions, mobile phones can also be used Take a picture!

   On Christmas Day, December 25, Sharp will release the world’s first mobile phone with a built-in 110,000-pixel CCD camera-jsh04! ! ! "

   The reporters were shocked when they heard this. Mobile phones can take pictures. Wouldn't they replace the camera? It's just that there are only 110,000 pixels, which is too rubbish!

   Henry saw this product launch, the corners of his mouth floated up, revealing a trace of disdain.

   "The Japanese chaebol companies don't even think about it, just take your Sharp! It's embarrassing to release a mere 110,000 pixel mobile phone!!!"

   Henry picked up the phone and called Harrison, CEO of Williams Electronics.

   "Hello, Chairman, do you have any instructions?"

   "Sharp’s latest product launch, have you watched it?"

   "Look!" Harrison said and nodded, and said, "What does the chairman mean is to ask Williams Electronics to immediately launch a new mobile phone to snipe Sharp's jsh04 mobile phone?"

   "That's right!" Henry asked, "At present, how many pixels have our mobile phones reached?"

"Since the introduction of Bluetooth mobile phones, Williams Electronics has been committed to researching camera phones. After more than three years, it finally researched and issued 2 million pixel mobile phones!" Harrison replied proudly, "and our mobile phones also support optical zoom!"

   Henry was shocked when he heard this, the mobile phones of Williams Electronics were so awesome!

   It seems that there are many talents, R&D funds are in place, and the development speed is fast!

   Mobile phones that support optical zoom will not come out after 2004, which is almost 3 years ahead of schedule. This kind of mobile phone has a crushing advantage over all current mobile phones! ! !

   After shooting the phone, it’s almost time to launch the smartphone iphone! Henry has been in this area for a long time. Whether it is Apple's mobile phone system or multi-touch technology, he has invested heavily in development. The era of selling kidneys is coming soon.

   After the launch of the smartphone, it is time to deploy the mobile terminal immediately, and the speed of making money is only fast or slow!

  Social software like facebook and WeChat can shine!

   The o2o industry like uber taxis and food delivery will flourish!

   Henry only needs to take the lead step by step and monopolize all the entrances of the mobile terminal, and see how others play!

   "Harrison, let the factory prepare to produce camera phones as soon as possible!" Henry paused, and said, "It's better to be on the market on Christmas Day!"

   "Okay, no problem! With the current scale of Hongnian Technology Factory, it can produce at least 1 million mobile phones in half a month!"

   "Let the Hongnian Technology Factory increase its production capacity. I have full confidence in this phone. I can sell at least 20 million units!"

   "Chairman, the manufacturing cost of this mobile phone is about US$300, so what is our selling price?"

   Henry thought for a while and said, "Such a high-end camera phone naturally has to take the high-end route! Hmm...then it will be priced at US$499!!!"

   "Then what is the name of this phone?"

   "Williams vivo camera phone!"

   Harrison then followed Henry’s instructions to prepare for the release of the new phone. At the same time, Sharp also held a product launch conference specially for Sharp! At the press conference, major media from around the world were invited, including abc TV station, Star TV, youtube, etc. The entire venue was no less than 1,000 people, which was quite grand!

   After Harrison took the stage and said some high-sounding words, he immediately announced the new mobile phone of Williams Electronics. This phone is completely modeled after the Nokia 1110, which was launched in 2005, which is also Nokia's best-selling candy bar phone, with global sales of 250 million units. The design of the mobile phone is very simple, the shell colors are black, blue, gray, white, red, etc., and there is an amber background light...

   When Harrison announced that this phone has 2 million pixels and has support for optical zoom. All the reporters present were shocked. Such a mobile phone can be called a camera! However, a new mobile phone just released by Sharp Corporation of Japan is also a camera phone, but it has only 110,000 pixels. The difference between the two is almost one in the sky and the other in the ground!

   In addition, Sharp’s jsh04 camera phone is priced at US$450, while Williams Electronics’ vivo camera phone is priced at US$499, which is even more cost-effective than Sharp! Compared with the Sharp mobile phone, it is a complete failure. Sharp’s jsh04 mobile phone suddenly became a joke for reporters, but it was ashamed to claim to be the world’s first camera phone. Williams Electronics must have developed a camera phone long ago, but it’s just not released!

   After the product launch conference, Sharp quickly got the news, so angry, the whole person is not good...

"President, I did not expect that Williams Electronics has such a strong development capability. Our mobile phones are not competitive with theirs! So far, we have prepared a total of 5 million jsh04 camera phones. If the price is not reduced, I'm afraid I can't sell it!"

In fact, the picture taken by 110,000 pixels is very blurry. The beauty and the ugly girl take pictures with the jsh04 mobile phone, almost the same... Even if the jsh04 mobile phone of Sharp is not attacked by Williams Electronics, it will not be popular. of!

Sharp President Ichiro Yamada scolded angrily: "Williams Electronics did not release it early, and it did not release it late. It was only after our mobile phone was released that it released the vivo phone, which is clearly aimed at our Sharp company! They have a 2-megapixel camera phone, how can we launch a 110-megapixel phone to make ourselves humiliated?"

   "Chairman, this is the end of the matter, jsh04 mobile phone camera can only be sold if the price is reduced, thereby reducing losses!"

   "Then go down to $399!"

   "US$399 is still too expensive, I am worried that customers will not buy it..."

   "First, $399, if the sales are not good, then reduce the price again!"

   Sharp immediately announced to the outside world that the price of the jsh04 mobile phone was reduced to 399 US dollars. However, not many people are still interested in the jsh04 mobile phone after the price reduction. On the other hand, Williams vivo mobile phone, despite its high price, countless people are full of expectations for it.

   Although the 2 million pixels is not very high, it is not bad, and it also supports optical zoom, it is simply a low-end camera that can make phone calls. Who would go out with a cumbersome camera all right? But a mobile phone is a must-have. With the Williams vivo mobile phone, you can make calls and take pictures! Especially some young girls who like fashion, can't wait to buy such a mobile phone right away!

   After more than ten days, the long-awaited Christmas finally arrived.

   This morning, as soon as the Williams store opened, I saw countless young men and women lining up at the door.

   Williams Electronics told the outside world that the number of mobile phones this time is limited, with only 1 million units. If they are sold out, they can only wait one month before they are available. But who wants to wait a month? ! There are many rich people, not bad money! As a result, there is a lively situation of queuing up to buy Williams vivo phones in all parts of the United States!

   The Sharp jsh04 mobile phone, which was launched at the same time, was not cared about.

  Want to take a photo with a phone with only 110,000 pixels? Take a woolen thread!

   How tall is the 2 million pixel Williams vivo mobile phone, it is a mobile phone that Bai Fumei would buy, and the 110,000 pixel Sharp jsh04 mobile phone, even the short and poor don't bother to buy it!

   If this is a gathering of friends and classmates, others will take out the Williams vivo mobile phone, if I take out the Sharp jsh04 mobile phone, this tm is so embarrassing!

   In one morning, 1 million Williams vivo phones were sold out. The Sharp jsh04 mobile phone only sold 100 units in the United States! The difference of 10,000 times is really ridiculous. Stores all over the country have returned to Sharp, saying that this kind of junk is sold for $400. Who would want to buy it? !

   Sharp can’t do anything about it. Although the manufacturing cost of a mobile phone is only $220, Sharp, dealers and retailers all make money. If they don’t sell it for $399, how can Sharp make money?

   Sharp Corporation.

   "Chairman, all parts of the country have returned goods, and they can only sell at a loss. Otherwise, the five million jsh04 phones will not be sold, they can only be stored in the warehouse, and the warehouse management fee is also a big expense!"

   Yamada Ichiro thought that the camera phone gimmick was a big gimmick, so he decided to produce 5 million phones in one go, and plan to sell them on Christmas Day, hoping to create a miracle! But unexpectedly, the miracle was created, but not what he hoped...

   There is no harm without comparison! The 2 million pixels of the Williams vivo phone is simply a knife deeply inserted into the chest of the jsh04 phone!

   The original innovative mobile phone suddenly became inferior ~ lightnovelpub.net~ can not be sold!

   Yamada Ichiro sighed: "Come down, 300 dollars per unit!"

  The profits of distributors and retailers must not be reduced, at least $100 will be shared. Therefore, the loss of money can only be recognized by oneself. Sharp loses dozens of dollars when selling a mobile phone, and the loss can be huge when other resources such as manpower and material resources are included. What's more worrying is that 5 million mobile phones may not be sold.

   At this time, Henry is discussing with Harrison to develop cheap mobile phones to sweep the global low-end mobile phone market. The reason why Nokia's Nokia 1110 mobile phone can sell 250 million units is cheap and cost-effective is the key.

   "What is the cost price of a 100-pixel camera phone that does not support optical zoom?" Henry asked. A mobile phone of US$499 is still too expensive. Most of the current mobile phones are around US$200. The low-end market has a large base, and although the profit of each unit is small, the money earned is no less than that of the high-end!

   "The cost is almost $250!"

  250 dollars? Henry thought for a while and said: "Then let's set the price at $350. When sales of the Williams vivo phone are weak, we will launch this mid-range product."

   Williams Electronics owns the Williams store, which is enough to maximize profits.

  Henry wants to make Japanese companies unable to raise their heads, come to suppress one by one, and finally let them go bankrupt and go bankrupt, reducing them to the tragic fate of being acquired...
