It turned out that the problem happened to be the battery!
Because of this, Wang Chengsheng didn't dare to face his old friend Mr. Mo anymore. Although Mr. Mo didn't say anything, it was his own problem after all.
In fact, Wang Chengsheng can swear to God that he has absolutely no selfish intentions in purchasing his cousin's battery!
Originally, there was that kind of relationship, the battery of the cousin factory was indeed doing well, and the price was also pretty good, so Wang Chengsheng purchased his battery.
Perhaps it was the quality of that batch of batteries that had a problem, or maybe it was just a coincidence, and the batteries from any battery manufacturer dare not say that there is absolutely no problem.
…………
Wang Chengsheng still wanted to make his own brand, but Wang Jinbao didn't agree rashly, he remembered his cousin's instructions.
Let’s survive first. If you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, you need a lot of money to build a brand. How can Moya have that kind of capital now.
So, after learning about the situation in the factory these two days, Wang Jinbao took the crow and headed straight to Huaqiangbei by subway.
This is a well-known electronic market in the country, known as "China's No. [-] Electronic Street"!
In a block with a radius of [-] square kilometers, more than [-] billionaires and countless multi-millionaires were born!
From 98 to 2010, Huaqiangbei was the most glorious period. At that time, the excitement here was beyond people's imagination.
Like SEG Electronics or Huaqiangbei Electronics Market, a one-square-meter shop... No, it can't be called a shop, it's just a counter, and the monthly rent exceeds [-]!
For such a small counter, the monthly revenue may exceed 300 million per month in the best years of business!
It is no exaggeration to say that Huaqiangbei at that time was full of gold, and it all depended on how much you could pick up.
The reason why they came here is because Wang Jinbao and Wu Ya have heard that since last year, that is, in 2002, there have been many mobile phone brands in Huaqiangbei, known as "cottage phones", and they have begun to sell to the whole country.
This so-called "cottage phone" was only sold secretly last year, but since this year, it has begun to be sold openly, and it has begun to show "branding" operations.
In 2003, the mobile phone production license was changed from an approval system to an approval system, and the threshold for obtaining a network access license and 3C certification was greatly reduced.
Moreover, you can also borrow the license of the foundry in the form of OEM.
At the same time, a company called MediaTek in Baodao provides a general-purpose modular chip solution. From the mobile phone chip to the system to the screen assembly, it is done directly. After you purchase it, you only need to put a shell on it. Pick a cool brand name, and you can start selling it directly.
In addition, Huaqiangbei is the largest electronics market in China, and all the components needed for mobile phone assembly can be purchased in one market. Therefore, making mobile phones has become a very simple matter.
Just a small counter, add a few young people, purchase a few machines, and start making mobile phones on the spot...
…………
At that time, even a functional machine like Nokia's 3310 sold for more than 1000.As for the so-called color screens and "smart phones" that have just appeared for less than two years, such as Samsung S308, Motorola V3, Motorola A1000, etc., the price is even more expensive.
Motorola A1000, in fact, is very similar to smartphones more than ten years later, with a large 2.8-inch touch screen, 3G video call function, AGPS positioning, 120 million pixel built-in camera, Symbian smart operating system, and comes with a capacitive pen, which supports the screen Write and draw!Does it sound awesome?
It took more than ten years for Apple to have the so-called capacitive pen, and it was sold as a treasure, and the price was thousands of yuan, while Motorola had it in 2003, and it was free!
Of course, these color screens and smart phones are also very expensive, often costing 5000 yuan.
At this time, Huaqiangbei began to rise. Color screens, big speakers, super-large batteries, high-definition cameras, such a big mobile phone brand will cost 3000 yuan, but here, not 3000 yuan, not 2000 yuan, as long as nine Ninety-eight! You can take it home for 998 yuan!
At that time, most of the mobile phone consumers were new to mobile phones. They had no idea about the user experience and technical parameters.
Big brands can’t afford it, but these counterfeit phones seem to be very valuable, with cheap prices, large screens, and eight speakers, super conscientious!
So, accompanied by the singing of Phoenix Legend, Huaqiangbei's copycat phones began to catch fire...
…………
Wang Jinbao and Wu Ya have long admired Huaqiangbei's counterfeit machine, so they are going to come here for reference and study.
They also make mobile phones, and Moya owns such a big factory, and Lao Wang and Lao Mo both invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it. Why haven't the Huaqiangbei gang done well?
This question must be clarified!
Squeezing out from the crowded subway station, both of them were sweating.
"My dear, have all the people in Pengcheng come here?" Standing at the entrance of the subway, looking at the dark crowd on the side of the street, Crow exclaimed.
"They're all here to buy things or purchase goods. The business here is really good. Let's go, let's go to a market that sells mobile phones. What is the name of the market that Lao Wang mentioned? Seg Plaza?" Wang Jinbao observed After a while, he said.
Chapter 597
After going around in a circle, the two of them found SEG Electronic Plaza, which is also a market with a relatively high concentration of counterfeit machines.
The whole street was crowded with people. After entering the gate of Saige, there were even more people. Added with the noises of hawking and bargaining, Wang Jinbao felt a headache from the noise.
In the hall on the first floor of Saige, there are densely packed counters, and a bunch of people are surrounded in front of each counter.
"Boss, bring me ten more of your four-star mobile phone. The ones I got last time are all sold out!"
"Hey, the boss has a new model? You are very fast. The Motorola A1000 has not been on the market for a long time. You have developed it now? Let me see what it is called, Motorola A1000, tsk tsk, good name, don't look carefully I really can't tell."
"Old Liu, give me twenty units of your 520 model mobile phone. I need it urgently. Can the price be lowered, old customers... Well, it's only 800 yuan per unit. Come on, it's [-]." ...
Looking around and listening to the conversations between the customers and the boss, Wang Jinbao was deeply moved.
He didn't look down on these small bosses who made counterfeit mobile phones. They rely on a counter, a simple assembly workshop, and many even don't even have a workshop. They can manufacture mobile phones that sell well all over the country in the rental house. How inspirational.
After wandering around, I found a counter that seemed to have the busiest business, and Wang Jinbao and Crow squeezed past it.
The mobile phones sold by this store are not all kinds of four-star, Moratoro and so on.
Standing at the counter and listening for a while, the best-selling mobile phone model of this company is 520, and everyone who comes to pick up the goods will more or less want several mobile phones of this model.
After waiting for a long time, there were a little less people around the counter to buy goods. Wang Jinbao stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how do you sell mobile phones? Can you buy less?"
The thin and small boss glanced at Wang Jinbao, squinted his eyes and asked, "Young man, are you going to open a mobile phone store? Where did you come from?"
He has seen many young people like Wang Jinbao. Most of them want to open a mobile phone store in a small city to do business. Naturally, big brands cannot afford to represent them. He heard that there are cheap mobile phone wholesalers in Pengcheng, so he bought them from all over the country. rushed over.I don't have much money in hand, so I dare not buy too much.But he won't look down on this kind of young man, because maybe his business will start, and he will be a big customer in the future.
With a smile on his face, Wang Jinbao replied: "Yes, I came from the Central Plains, and I plan to open a store to try. It's just the beginning, so I don't dare to enter too much."
"Understood, it's okay, young people do business, I support it. How about this, as long as the purchase reaches more than five units, I will pay you the wholesale price and make friends." The boss smiled honestly.
Wang Jinbao took a look. There were only five models of mobile phones in the counter, and he ordered one for each model.The cheapest wholesale price is only over 700 yuan, and the expensive one is just over 5000 yuan, which adds up to [-] yuan.
After packing a few cartons in plastic bags, Crow asked puzzledly after leaving the counter: "Jin Bao, why do you buy so many mobile phones? And this mobile phone is not very good, we use much better than this now. "
The mobile phones they both use now are Motorola's V3, which are of course much better than these counterfeit mobile phones, so Crow doesn't understand why Wang Jinbao buys so many mobile phones.
Wang Jinbao said bitterly: "Can you use your stupid brain! Of course I don't buy mobile phones for my own use. Our company also makes mobile phones now, and the scale is much larger than these counterfeit phones. Why? Others’ business is so good? That’s why I need to learn.”
When Wang Jinbao came to Huaqiangbei this time, his idea was to observe and learn. He really wanted to know why those shoddy copycat phones could sell so well, and whether his company could learn anything from them.
