Global Monopoly of Technology

The Lesi company exploded, the stock price crashed, and its smartphones could basically be announced in advance, which was unexpected in the industry.

However, even if there is no fuse ignited by the HIIB investment bank, the arrears of suppliers will sooner or later be ignited.

At present, among the top smartphone manufacturers in China, in addition to the unparalleled Côte d'Azur company, the first echelon is Honor and Xiaomi; the second echelon is vivo, OPPO, 1+, Meizu, etc.; The third echelon is Jinli, Chuizi, Xianxiang and so on.

In addition, there are relatively unknown niche brands such as 1+ mobile phones.

Entering the end of December, overseas smartphone consumers are finally looking forward to the release date of Azure-5. Since the launch, the sales volume in the domestic market has reached 30.15 million units.

Sales have clearly shown a downward trend, which is also in line with internal big data analysis expectations.

Although it is no problem for Chinese people to spend more than 10,000 yuan, after all, it depends on what the money is used for. Not everyone can afford to buy a mobile phone with so much money. The population of 1.4 billion in the country has a monthly income The group of more than 10,000 people is only about 3%, and only more than 40 million people.

There are hundreds of millions of people whose income is only about 1,000 yuan a month, but now that Internet finance is developed, most young people living in cities are spending ahead of time.

Big data shows that the group that buys the most Azure-5 mobile phones is not those with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, but the group with a monthly income of about 5,000-8,000 yuan is the main force.

Young people with a monthly income of about 3,000 yuan can only support themselves independently, or solve the problem of food and clothing, and cannot get sick in the current city.

The rent, water, electricity and property fees are deducted by 500 or 600 yuan. The food cost is 40 yuan per day, which is 1,200 yuan a month. Half of the basic expenses are gone. In addition to buying some snacks, like the Internet fee for playing games on the Internet, and recharging, you may have to pay with Friends have a few supper.

If you do this casually, you will basically run out of money, and the salary is almost gone as soon as it is paid, because you still have to borrow it.

As for the items costing a few hundred yuan, they are all "large items", so you have to consider them clearly, and you won't even consider clothes and shoes that cost a few hundred yuan.

Occasionally, you have to eat instant noodles for a week, or even longer.

However, even with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, there are still a lot of consumers buying Azure-5.

It's a big deal, just suffer yourself,

Nibbling on instant noodles, but X has to pretend, this is also one of the just needs, and it will take a few months. By the way, there are also female anchors who should be rewarded and must continue to reward them.

Since the rise of food delivery services such as Meituan and Ele.me in recent years, several instant noodle manufacturers have been hit by dimensionality reduction, and their sales have not been as good as a year.

But in recent months, data shows that sales of instant noodles are picking up...

Over the years, more and more young people have been kidnapped from their wallets by the so-called "light luxury", "ceremonial sense", "Internet celebrity shop punching" and other lifestyles on the Internet. Wages are gone.

Decent in front of people and instant noodles behind people are a portrayal of the lives of most young people.

It is also based on big data analysis that the cumulative sales data of the Azure-5 model is expected to be expected. This product is expected to reach 80 million shipments in China next year, and the final cumulative shipment will be in the Greater China market. It is expected to hit 165 million units.

...

The time has come to December 24th, which is the European and American holiday "Christmas Eve", and the next day is Christmas.

The Azure-5 smartphone was officially launched in the global market today. As early as a week ago, the offline flagship stores of the French Riviera in major western cities such as Paris, London, and New York were full of queues.

An offline single flagship store in Times Square, New York.

"A 512GB version, choose the second package," said a young man in a baseball cap.

"$3,275, sir, is it a credit card or cash?" the salesman asked with a polite smile.

"Swipe your credit card."

$3,275 is the tariff-included price, and $2,899 is the tariff-free price. It is also worth mentioning that online payment in North America is not well developed, and basically 90% of consumers use credit cards.

Although there are online payment software such as PayPal in North America, the market share is poor, because this has touched the interests of the traditional financial industry in North America, resulting in this kind of convenient and fast payment life has not become popular in North America.

"Damn, the Chinese are here to steal money again."

Two people stood diagonally across from the store. They were media reporters from CNN. They were conducting street shooting interviews. The elites in North America were sour and upset when they saw this scene, and Wall Street was equally upset.

Because Cote d'Azur is a private company, no matter how popular the product is, they cannot directly obtain vested interests.

But helpless.

Despite the high price, it still cannot stop North American consumers from pursuing this brand. Sales in Europe are also in full swing. In Europe, due to the last negotiation, the tariff has been reduced by 50%. The 512GB version is 2599 euros without tariffs, including The tariff is priced at 2,755 euros, which is much more affordable than North American consumers.

Azure-5's hot sales popularity, in addition to the biggest beneficiary of the Côte d'Azur, supply chain partners are also benefiting, including international supply chains such as TSMC and Qualcomm, and the stock price has also risen strongly during this period.

A small mobile phone has a huge and terrifying industry chain. There are more than 1,000 large and small companies around the world that are part of its supply chain system. They provide supporting services for this product. There are well-known companies. Large international manufacturers also have outsourcing orders from unknown small enterprises.

The console as a bonus has not only boosted the sales of the most expensive 512GB version, but also brought this console, which has been released for several years, to a small peak in shipments.

The positive aspects, first of all, is the pull of the real economy. Only when the economic development is rolling, can there be vitality and consumption power, and a positive cycle can be achieved.

There is also a complete industrial chain behind the host, and the increase in sales means that many manufacturers can take orders and finish the job.

At the same time, it is beneficial to the major third-party game developers around the world, and the host user base has grown. Except for the direct competitors of the host, everyone eats meat.

The birth of Azure-5 has brought a qualitative leap in the performance of smartphones, which has also allowed major third-party game developers around the world to target the business opportunities of mobile platforms.

It is an undeniable fact that today's global console market cannot be compared with the smartphone market. How many console users are in the world? How much is intelligence?

The major game developers are not blind, and even Blizzard, which mainly focuses on the PC side, has come to take a share of this new battlefield. One more channel is one more way to make money.

However, these big companies have settled in one after another, which has also intensified the fierce competition in the global mobile game market.

Mobile versions of "Final Fantasy", "GTA", "Nier: Automata", "Diablo" and other well-known IP masterpieces have now settled in the AOS Steam lobby of Azure-5.

With the release of Azure-5, the income of these international game companies has also increased.

The launch of Azure-5 has not only brought new growth points to the Côte d'Azur, but also associated companies have followed suit.

...

After Christmas, a report on the first day of sales of the Azure-5 phone in North America was delivered to the office of John Bryce, the head of the local commerce department.

"According to an announcement made by Côte d'Azur North America on Christmas Day, the Azure-5 smartphone sold 4.3 million units on its first day in the United States, generating $10.5 billion in sales that day."

When John Bryce heard the secretary's report, he immediately said in amazement and anger: "What did you say? One day's sales are as high as 10.5 billion US dollars? A shocking figure, this is looting!!!"

"Mr. Minister, Cote d'Azur's operations in the North American market are all legal. Even if we plunder, we can't stop them, unless consumers in the United States don't buy their products." The secretary replied with a helpless tone.

The implication is that even if you are a hooligan, you have to be indiscriminate, and you always need a reason. Even if the reason is untenable, it is at least a reason.

"You can't just watch America's wealth being looted and drained by them." John Bryce said with a straight face, and then he said: "The Cote d'Azur should get out of North America..."

Seeing that Azure-5 is faster than a money printing machine, Lao Mei is jealous again and regrets it a bit.

"Now it's impossible to drive the Côte d'Azur out of the North American market again. He has more than 1.5 trillion U.S. debt in his hands. If we don't acknowledge the debt first, he will have reason to ignite this financial nuclear bomb..." John Bryce secretly said.

After a while, he thought of a way. Since he can't drive you out, without violating the previous agreement, there is another way that is feasible, and that is to increase tariffs to make your products more expensive and indirectly inhibit your products from selling in the market. Sales in North America!
