My rebirth is different

Among the branded mobile phones, Apple is recognized as the highest-end brand, and those luxury mobile phones with very few shipments are not included here.

Apple's shipments are actually lower than Samsung's, and were later surpassed by Huawei, but Apple's profits are extremely astonishing.

Some professionals have made statistics, Apple's shipments only account for 20.00% of the entire mobile phone industry, but its profits account for 80.00% of the entire mobile phone industry!

In other words, even if the shipments of Samsung and Huawei reach twice that of Apple's mobile phones, the net profit is still less than a fraction of Apple's.From this point is enough to see the horror of Apple.So, where does Apple's profit come from?In fact, the biggest source is the iPhone. According to statistics, the profit of each iPhone is close to 60%.Taking an iPhone X as an example, the Bank of China sells it for about 8316 yuan, and the cost is only about 2815 yuan.

Some people would say that Apple needs money for research and development!Then let’s calculate again, Apple’s annual R&D expenditure is about 140 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual mobile phone shipments reach 2 million units, so the apportioned R&D expenditure for each unit accounts for 70 U.S. dollars (about 478 yuan).Therefore, even if logistics, taxes, and physical store expenses are all calculated, the final cost of an iPhone X will not exceed 4000 yuan, which means that an iPhone X can bring Apple a profit of nearly 4300 yuan!

What is the concept of earning more than 4000 yuan by selling a mobile phone?

You know, among the mobile phone product lines of Samsung and Huawei, not many have a retail price of more than [-]!

Let’s take a look at the annual profit data of these companies. Apple’s annual profit in 2017 was 480 billion U.S. dollars, and Samsung Electronics’ annual profit was nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars. However, Samsung’s business is really too much. many.However, Huawei only had US$70 billion back then, which means that the money Huawei earned in seven years was almost equal to Apple's profit in one year, which also included Huawei's communication equipment profits.

At its peak, Apple's market capitalization exceeded one trillion U.S. dollars, and it held more than 300 billion U.S. dollars in cash.

Wealth can rival a country, but that's it!

Everyone makes mobile phones. My shipment volume is higher than yours. Why do you outperform me in market capitalization and outperform me in profit? Samsung and Huawei are naturally very unconvinced.

Therefore, there was a wave of everyone wanting to attack high-end brands.

…………

But these are things for the future. At least from 2003 to 2015, low-end mobile phones can live a very healthy life.

Although Yu Wenfei is not interested in the profits of low-end mobile phones, since Wang Jinbao wants to go this way, he also supports it.

Now that the legendary mobile phones are out, then should I invest in a few more companies to make out the two brands of Xiaomi, Meizu, and Green and Blue...

Yu Wenfei thought with a bit of mischief.

If that's the case, it's actually quite good. At least it can reap the dividends of the development of the mobile phone industry. Not to mention monopolizing the domestic market, it can at least occupy most of the market and squeeze the living space of competitors.

It's a pity that there are not so many people available, and it's hard to say whether Wang Jinbao can do it now.

Chapter 599 Time Management Master

After Effie came back from America, Yu Wenfei could finally relieve the burden of the Facebook game.

The North American branch of Facebook Games has been prepared and the platform has been launched. The person in charge of the branch has also recruited a suitable person. He is a senior vice president dug from Time Warner Group. He is smart and capable, and Effie is very satisfied.

In addition, Brian was left as a deputy to assist in the work.

"It's been hard work for you during this time, let me take a few days off and have a good rest." Yu Wenfei looked at Effie and smiled.

Effie has really worked hard during this period, and there are dark circles around her eyes. It can be seen that she has stayed up a lot late.

"It's okay, I can hold on, and I can't rest now. The platform model in North America is very good. I want to integrate the two domestic platforms and launch the game sales business." Effie said with a smile, although People look a bit haggard, but the spirit is still good.

Since the employees all voluntarily asked to give up the rest, then the boss Yu Wenfei couldn't force it, he could only tell her to pay attention to her body.

"By the way, boss, if we start selling games online like in foreign countries, the recharge problem can only be solved through point cards. Unfortunately, there is no national chain supermarket in China, and there is no PAYPAL." Effie sighed.

If Facebook Games wants to sell games on the platform, it involves the issue of how platform users pay.In China, there is no Internet payment solution. Online game companies like Shanda still use a very traditional method, which is to sell point cards!

Thousands of newsstands, bookstores, and even Internet cafes across the country sell game point cards, just like phone cards, and players can recharge online after purchase.

As for the issue of Internet payment, in 2003, it had not been completely resolved in the whole world.

In Europe and the United States, the concept of "electronic cash" was proposed in the [-]s. At the beginning, it was promoted by some Internet companies, but because the standards were chaotic and the security problems could not be solved, there was no major issue for more than ten years. Development, and later transformed into a bank-led, began to try to use savings cards or bank accounts to establish "electronic wallets" for users, but this standard has not been promoted.

It was not until 2002 that the two major international card organizations, VISA and MasterCard joined hands to unify the online credit card authentication standards based on 3D-SECURE, and Internet payment began to really develop.

In the United States, there are also P2P payment financial companies such as PAYPAL, but because it is a private company, the safety of PAYPAL is still questioned.Moreover, if merchants want to use PAYPAL services, they will be charged a lot of fees. Therefore, the North American platform of Facebook games has not yet connected to the PAYPAL system. The newly appointed president is still negotiating with PAYPAL to lower the handling fee .

"Online payment, don't worry, maybe the new platform already exists before it goes online." Yu Wenfei smiled slightly.

"Ah? There is online payment in China? Why don't I know which bank launched it?" Effie asked in surprise.

Of course she doesn't know, this is the focus of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank's recent work!

Yu Wenfei has received the news from Pudong Development Bank that the online payment system has been set up and will be launched soon!

That's why he has the confidence to say that. The foundation has been laid, and then related businesses can also be advanced in parallel.

…………

After the exams, the school is already on vacation, and other college students can have a pleasant vacation, but Yu Wenfei can't, he will only get busier and busier these days, who made him the big boss.

And recently, there are many big plans that are about to be officially launched. He, the "leader", has to keep an eye on him all the time, and he can't go anywhere.

Because the next plan can be said to be related to the long-term development of Facebook and Star Technology in the next ten years or even longer, and he should not take it lightly.

On July 15th, Yu Wenfei's four new secretaries were in place. Under the leadership of Hu Jingjing, they came to Yu Wenfei's office and asked the boss to meet.

Four pretty girls lined up in front of Yu Wenfei and greeted Yu Wenfei one by one.

"Mr. Fei, I'm Du Lanyun."

"Hi boss, my name is Ye Zehui."

"Hello boss, I'm Huo Miaofu."

"Hi Mr. Fei, I'm Ji Xiaoyu."

The four girls all wore professional skirts at the same time, showing their perfect curves, standing side by side like a beautiful landscape.

Yu Wenfei looked at the fourth girl in surprise. The name... seemed familiar, and this girl seemed to be familiar to him.

She has a thin body, long hair, and delicate facial features. Of course, what impressed Yu Wenfei the most was her firm eyes.

"Ji Xiaoyu...? Are you an old employee of the company?" Yu Wenfei asked while frowning.

"Yes, I joined the company when it was first established, and I have been an intern before, but I just graduated this year and have already officially joined the company." Ji Xiaoyu replied with a smile. Yu Wenfei still had an impression of herself, which made her still A little secretly happy.

Yu Wenfei completely remembered at this moment, wasn't this girl the one who worked as an intern with Hu Jingjing when the Jiale Modu branch was first established?

Later, Star Technology Company was established, and I started to build Facebook myself. Several interns came from Jiale, and Ji Xiaoyu was one of them!

Including the science and technology park where the company is currently located, it seems that she and Hu Jingjing found it together.

"Which department have you been working in this year? I don't seem to have met you in the company." Yu Wenfei asked with concern.

"Xiaoyu and Effie helped out in the administration department at the beginning, and later went to work at Facebook to do operations. This time you recruited a secretary, the company recruited internally, so Xiaoyu applied for the job." Hu Jingjing replied from the side.

Yu Wenfei nodded slightly, yes, interns basically do all kinds of odd jobs, wherever they need to go.Although there are many interns who joined the company with Effie, except for one Effie who is in his early years, the others are all unknown.
