Originally, the global daily activation volume of Xphone 1 was only about 140,000 units, with a maximum of 4 million units a month.
But with the launch of China Unicom contract phones, the daily activation volume of Xphone 1 has skyrocketed to 230,000 units!
There is no way. China Unicom has more than 10,000 business offices, which is equivalent to Xingyi Mobile having more than 10,000 physical stores. It would be abnormal if sales do not increase dramatically.
However, this was just the beginning. Five days later, mobile contract phones were also fully launched, and more than 10,000 mobile business halls sold contract and bare phones of Xingyi mobile phones.
The number of daily activations of Xphone 1 has surged again, reaching about 370,000.
The growth rate is faster than China Unicom’s contract phone!
Immediately afterwards, telecom contract machines were also fully rolled out, and more than 10,000 telecom business halls were selling Xingyi mobile phones...
As you can imagine, the current global daily activation volume of Xphone 1 has exceeded 450,000 units.
Even if the popularity declines, Xphone 1 will sell 11 million units or even 12 million units in a month without any pressure.
You must know that this data is not the inventory sales of dealers, nor the centralized procurement sales of operators, but the actual number of user activations!
With the continuous increase of Xingyi mobile phone channels, Xphone 1 sales statistics are now calculated directly based on the number of activations by users.
This is the most conservative and most accurate statistical method.
There is no way, the Xphone 1 starts at 2999, and comes with 1800 free phone credit, and the total contract phone package only starts at 3800.
This is equivalent to a price of about 2,000 yuan for mobile phones. In addition, Xphone 1 crushes iPhone 4s in terms of configuration, appearance, appearance, etc. Users simply cannot refuse it.
I didn't plan to buy it at first, but after seeing this set, I couldn't help but buy it. Naturally, it's selling like crazy.
As for the Xphone 1pro, which has just been launched, even if it is sold at a high price starting from 5,000, the daily activation volume is as high as 250,000!
After all, it is the world's first quad-core mobile phone. This gimmick alone is enough to kill everyone.
What's more, Xphone 1 has already crushed iPhone 4s and is far ahead. Xphone 1pro has been fully upgraded and even surpassed Xphone 1!
Not to mention being invincible in the first half of the year, even in the second half of the year, Xphone 1pro had few rivals.
Of course, except for the second generation of Xingyi!
At the moment, the only thing that can beat Xphone 1 is Xphone 1pro.
The only one that can beat the Xphone 1pro is the Xphone 2 generation!
Throughout April, the monthly activation volume of Xphone 1pro was only about 7 million.
There is no way, the current monthly production capacity of Xphone 1pro is limited, if you want to sell more, there is no stock.
We will have to wait until next month to reach a monthly output of 10 million.
Next month’s global sales of Xphone 1pro will also reach tens of millions!
It can be said that with the launch of the contract phones of the three major operators, there are 30,000 to 40,000 more business stores selling Xingyi contract phones and bare phones, and Xphone 1 has officially entered the era of monthly sales of tens of millions.
The Xphone 1pro has also entered the era of monthly sales of 7 million, and is expected to sell tens of millions of units per month next month!
Wang Yidu was in a good mood about this.
On the contrary, the pressure on BYD has increased greatly.
But Shopkeeper Wang, like Wang Yi, was in pain and happiness.
Also extremely happy are the suppliers.
Such as Qualcomm.
Jacobs was ready to discontinue the Qualcomm dual-core flagship processor 8660, which was originally lagging behind. As a result, the Xphone 1 was selling like hot cakes, and Qualcomm’s dual-core processors were also selling like crazy!
Jacob took a look and saw that with such strong sales and so many orders, the production of dual-core processors cannot be discontinued and must continue to be produced!
Chips are a matter of scale.
The more you make, the lower the dilution cost is. The more you sell, the more you earn.
What's more, the Qualcomm 8660 processor is a 45nm process, which is considered a mature process in TSMC, which is a backward process.
What TSMC currently lacks is 28nm production capacity, and TSMC has mature processes such as 40nm and 45nm. There is no shortage at all. It can’t wait for Qualcomm to continue manufacturing.
The same goes for NVIDIA.
Seeing that Qualcomm's 28nm quad-core chips are about to be launched, Nvidia is worried that its 40nm quad-core chips will not sell well because the technology is too far behind.
But now it's good, Xphone 1pro is sold out, people are placing orders like crazy!
So much so that Nvidia has followed suit and increased orders like crazy. Anyway, the foundry fee for 40nm chips is cheap. You can get whatever you want.
Not to mention other suppliers.
With the hot sales of Xphone 1, Xingyi Phone has almost established its position as the number one Android phone.
As for Samsung, although they are larger, most of them are feature phones, and Samsung is too unique.
Samsung can develop and produce screens, processors, lens modules, batteries, memory flash drives, etc. in-house.
Therefore, no matter how big Samsung is, other suppliers cannot make money, nor do they take Samsung seriously, and are even hostile to it.
Xingyi Technology is the number one Android player in the eyes of suppliers.
Initially, when making the Xphone 1, Wang Yi had to fly to Europe and the United States to negotiate one by one in person.
Now, a call from Wang Yi doesn't even require Wang Yi to come forward. A call from Zhu Changlin, even international supplier giants such as Sony and Sharp, will give priority, add orders frantically, and automatically reduce prices!
There is no way, Xingyi Technology is not only the top Android brother, but also the financier!
If you can make money together, whether it is Qualcomm Nvidia or Sony Sharp Toshiba, you will not lose the chain.
Even if there is a problem, they will overcome it and solve it on their own without Wang Yi having to tell them.
This change made Zhu Changlin very excited:
"Chairman, I never thought that our Xingyi mobile phone could reach this point and have such a strong voice! Domestically, the three major telecommunications companies are rushing to seek cooperation, and foreign and international suppliers have automatically lowered their prices to give us
VIP treatment.”
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, let's see, the future of Xingyi Technology will only be better."
"That's for sure." Zhu Changlin was extremely excited, but a little worried: "Chairman, the current production capacity of Xphone 1 is 400,000 per day, and the monthly output is 12 million. The production capacity of Xphone 1pro is also 350,000 per day, and the monthly output is 1,050.
Tens of thousands of units surged."
"With such a high production capacity, I am not worried about the Xphone 1. The starting price is 2,999 and it is selling well."
"But if there are so many Xphone 1pros produced and the starting price is 5,000, will they not be sold?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, Xphone 1pro has just been launched. It is the world's first quad-core mobile phone. Sales are not a problem. Even if Xphone 1pro does not sell for tens of millions next month and there is inventory, there will be overseas dealers to take over. Now in Europe, America and Japan
Over in South Korea, many vendors are queuing up to buy parallel imports of Xphone 1pro.”
"Yes, there are also overseas parallel import channels!" Zhu Changlin suddenly realized:
"Parallel imports of Xphone 1 are selling well around the world, parallel imports of Xphone 1pro are also selling well around the world, and overseas smugglers are also in great demand."
Since its release before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​Xphone 1pro has become a darling of global attention.
I don’t know how many foreigners are waiting to buy parallel imports of Xphone 1pro!
"Chairman, it is estimated that many overseas dealers have begun to increase their purchasing efforts and purchase Xphone 1pro from our dealers. Do you think we should raise our hands in market control to facilitate dealers' shipments?"
Wang Yi nodded: "That's okay. The sales are also hot overseas now, so we can reduce channel control. As long as the dealer pays, we will deliver the goods to the dealer. As for the dealer getting the supply, should he distribute it himself or dump it to the dealer?
If you have an overseas parallel importer, then it doesn’t matter.”
Currently, Xingyi mobile phone has insufficient patents and cannot be sold globally.
But this kind of parallel imports sent out does not matter.
Even the headquarters of Xingyi Technology will turn a blind eye and even provide some convenience.
After all, selling goods to yourself cannot be stopped.
The so-called channel management is intended to prevent regional cross-selling of goods.
Generally speaking, the subsidy prices are different in different regions, and the dealers charge different prices.
Therefore, there will be dealers in the low-price area who increase the price of the goods and sell them in the high-price area. The prices are much cheaper than those in the high-price area.
But Xingyi mobile phone does not have this problem.
Dealers at the same level all charge a fixed price. Even giant operators such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and Telecom charge the same purchase price as first-level dealers.
Without a price difference, it is naturally impossible to exchange goods in large quantities unless parallel goods are shipped overseas.
Wang Yi would not stop such unruly parallel import dealers, and would even provide convenience.
"Lao Zhu, has Xphone 1pro's native Android system been adapted to it?" Wang Yi thought of this.
In order to facilitate the sales of parallel imports, Wang Yidu had people adapt the Xphone 1 to native Android.
After all, XUI’s Android is not adaptable overseas.
Similarly, the same is true for Xphone 1pro.
Zhu Changlin nodded: "Don't worry, Chairman, everything has been adapted. Not only has it adapted to native Android 0, but it has also launched our XUI's unique split screen, beauty, Xiaoai AI robot, Xingyi App Mall, Xingyi
Games, Xingyi Video, Xingyi Music and other functions.”
"Very good." Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Overseas users must start cultivating now. Even if it is a parallel import, after-sales service must not be left behind. Xingyi flagship store has been opened, and it is still a form of sales in the front and after-sales maintenance in the back.
We also provide warranty and repair services for parallel imports. Now we can establish a good brand image and wait for patents to be made so that we can make money from overseas users!"
"Okay, Chairman, the overseas layout of the Xingyi flagship store is also advancing rapidly. Currently, there are sales of Xingyi tablets, Xbuds, power banks, tempered films and other products, as well as after-sales services for Xingyi mobile phones and tablets."
Wang Yi nodded: "Very good. When Xingyi TV is launched in the second half of the year, we can also go overseas! TVs don't have many patents. What's more, we are making smart TVs. Many of the patents in the smart TV field are our first and registered. To
When we start a patent war, we still don’t know who will pay patent fees to whom!”
It is true that Sony and Toshiba have also accumulated a large number of TV patents, but they are all traditional TV patents.
Xingyi Technology pioneered the true smart TV. As the initiator, many patents and standards were initiated and formulated by Xingyi Technology.
Even if Toshiba and Sony want to follow up quickly, they must use the standards and patents of Xingyi Technology.
For example, streaming media on smart TVs urgently needs 265, which can save bandwidth. Toshiba and Sony do not use it, and it is difficult to do 4K.
265 is just one of them. During the development process of Xingyi Video and Xingyi TV, many standards and patents have been formulated.
??????????.??????
There is also the field of smart home, which was also initiated and formulated by Xingyi Technology.
It can be said that in addition to the mobile phone field, Xingyi Technology has huge advantages and even monopoly advantages in the tablet field, smart TV field, and smart home field, and it is not afraid of patent wars at all.
Patents in the field of mobile phones are also increasing rapidly, including 4G patents.
If it’s early, by the end of next year, if it’s later, the year after next, we will have enough patents to cope with the patent war, thus achieving full internationalization.
But before that, we still have to rely on parallel imports!
In the past, parallel imports of iPhones sold well all over the world, and now parallel imports of Xingyi mobile phones can do the same.
"By the way, Lao Zhu, how is the development progress of the second generation of Xingyi?" Wang Yi changed the subject.
"Chairman, the research and development of the second generation of Xingyi is going smoothly. We have also obtained the 28nm Qualcomm quad-core processor. The performance is very good. The first version of the finalized design is almost ready. After it is completed,
I'll report to you."
"Okay!" Wang Yi nodded: "Unbounded Technology is about to be established. The R&D team of Unbounded Mobile is recruiting people. This matter will be left to you."
"Don't worry, Chairman, I will do my best to check it and transfer some elites from the R&D team of Xingyi Mobile to go to Unbounded Technology in Jeju to make Unbounded mobile phones."
"Very good!" Wang Yi was very satisfied: "In the future, the Xingyi mobile phone R&D team will be the Huangpu Military Academy. In the future, the Xingyi tablet R&D team, Xingyi TV R&D team, and Unbounded mobile phone R&D team will all be incubated by the Xingyi mobile phone R&D team.
Come out. You will be the principal!"
"Chairman, you praise me too much." Zhu Changlin said with a smile.
In fact, this kind of development strategy is also correct. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
The Xingyi mobile phone R&D team has more and more talents, and many of them are terrifyingly powerful, even as good as Zhu Changlin.
If you continue to stay in the Xingyi mobile phone R&D team, you will only be able to help Zhu Changlin, and you will never be able to get ahead in your life.
As time goes by, resentment will inevitably arise in my heart, and I feel that my talents are not being appreciated.
Once a competitor extends an olive branch, he will be poached and find another job.
But nowadays, as long as the talents are strong enough and reach the level of Zhu Changlin, they will be separated into new departments such as Wujie Mobile Phone, Xingyi TV, Xingyi Tablet, etc., and become R&D directors, deputy directors, and play leading roles!
In this way, these valuable talents will have better development opportunities, become R&D directors of core departments, and will not change jobs.
After all, everyone knows that Xingyi Technology can achieve better development.
Rather than forcing core talents to change jobs, it is better to provide them with a better platform and development.
It is better to block than to open up, this is Wang Yi's strategy.
As soon as Zhu Changlin left, Ye Changpeng, the head of Xingyi Media, walked in:
"Chairman, we bought the exclusive online broadcast rights of "The Voice of Xia Guo" for 10 million."
"A good deal." Wang Yi said calmly.
Internet exclusive broadcast rights are not expensive. "The Voice" is in its first season and the price is seriously underestimated. This is normal.
But in the second quarter next year, it will be higher.
But it doesn’t matter, Xingyi Media also has its own production of “The King of Masked Singer”.
"Chairman, one more thing. "The King of Masked Singer" is ready. The first two episodes have been recorded. Are they going to be broadcast in May or June?"
"May or June..." Wang Yi thought for a moment: "How many satellite TV rights have been sold now?"
"Currently, CCTV has purchased it, and three other satellite TV stations are in negotiation, but they all intend to lower the price. They think 50 million is too much, and 40 million is best."
"The copyright sold to CCTV by The Masked Singer is 50 million! Do they still want to sell it to 40 million?"
Wang Yi laughed: "Does this mean that we are in a hurry to broadcast next month and have to accept their price reduction?"
"Yes, that's it."
"It's okay, let's keep it steady. Aren't they lowering the price? Then let them continue to lower the price, slowly. We won't broadcast it in May, but wait until the summer season in June!"
Ye Changpeng's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, anyway, there are only four satellite TVs broadcasting it at most. Now that CCTV has won one, there are three left. In two months, I'm afraid there will be more than three companies competing, and we will definitely be able to sell it at a good price!"
"Yes, that's the truth. The more eager you are to sell anything, the less likely it is to sell at a high price. Their price can only be similar to CCTV, or even higher!" Wang Yixiao said:
"And I planned to use "The Masked Singer" to further promote Xphone 1 and Xphone 1pro, but we don't need to push it now, Xphone 1 and
The sales of Xphone 1pro have slowed down, and the broadcast of "The Masked Singer" will once again drive a wave of traffic and increase sales!"
Ye Changpeng agreed very much: "And "If You Are the One", which we co-titled, will be released soon. It will also bring a lot of sales to Xingyi Mobile!"
"Yes, there is also the king of "If You Are the One"!" Wang Yi thought of this.
Originally worried that the Xphone 1pro would not sell well with its high price starting at 5,000, Wang Yi not only won the exclusive title of "Kuaiben", but also won the title of "If You Are the One" in advance.
Who would have thought that, with the launch of contract phones with the three major operators, Xphone 1pro has been sold out.
Once "If You Are the One" is aired, the sales of Xphone 1pro will only increase!
Okay, BYD has to add another order.
Next month, the sales of Xphone 1pro will definitely explode, and monthly sales of tens of millions will not be a big problem.
"One more thing, the project of "Red" has been approved and will start shooting at the end of the month."
"Very good. I don't have time to care about the filming of the TV series. You and Gu Qing are responsible for it."
"Don't worry, Chairman."
Soon, news was released that "The Masked Singer" will be broadcast in June.
As soon as the news came out, several Davids could not sit still.
I originally thought that Xingyi Media was in a hurry to launch it and would sell the copyright of "The King of Masked Singer" at a low price. In the end, it would be able to get it for 40 million, or even 35 million.
Now that the launch is delayed by one month, there is no need to rush, and there is no possibility of a low sale, and maybe new competitors will emerge.
So, the next day, Suzhou TV bought the satellite TV distribution rights of "The King of Masked Singer" at a high price, the same price as CCTV, 50 million.
Seeing that Jiangsu Province was taking action, several other satellite TV stations also started urgent discussions.
But they haven't discussed the results yet. On the third day, a Lu provincial TV station came out of the way and won 50 million!
Hearing the news, Wang Yi almost burst into tears: "Gu Qing, who are you talking about? Lu Province Satellite TV?"
Gu Qing nodded: "Yes. Lu Province Satellite TV has won the satellite TV copyright of "The King of Masked Singer"!"
Wang Yi fell silent: "..."
I just think this thing is so absurd.
You know, Lu Province Satellite TV has never been good at variety shows.
When Wang Yi was a kid, he had a show called "Sunshine Express," but it later became popular.
It's just a "Happy Forward", with a little splash and barely out of the circle.
There are no other variety shows, there is not one that can compete...
In this regard, Shandong Province Satellite TV has no talent and no desire to work hard, and the people of Shandong Province are used to it.
As a result, you told me that Shandong Province won the satellite TV distribution rights of "The King of Masked Singer"!
Crazy, really crazy!
Wang Yi only felt that the prophets of the reborn people were unreliable: "How could this happen? How could it be Lu Province? Did they say why?"
Gu Qing was also helpless: "I told you, they said that Lu Provincial TV believes in Mr. Wang. The mobile phones made by Mr. Wang will definitely sell well. The variety shows made by Mr. Wang will also be popular! What's more, CCTV and Jiangsu Province have followed suit. This
Variety shows will definitely work. They won’t lose money.”
Wang Yi smiled, the leader of Lu Provincial Satellite TV was enlightened!
Realizing that I had no talent for variety shows, I started to work hard.
Wang Yi, CCTV, Su Province, triple buff superposition, this transaction is 80% non-refundable.
What can Wang Yi say?
All I can say is that he deserves to make a lot of money.
Given the popularity of "The King of Masked Singer", as soon as it was aired, the 50 million royalties, just from the title and endorsements, could earn 100 million!
Yes, the profits from such a popular variety show are so terrifying.
Of course, Wang Yi earns more.
"The King of Masked Singer" cost 50 million, and it was sold to CCTV, Suzhou Satellite TV, and Shandong Satellite TV for 500 million.
We can sell another one later, and it will cost more than 50 million.
The naming fee and advertising fee for Xingyi Network's exclusive broadcast also cost more than 100 million.
There is also the new membership income... and subsequent advertising fee on-demand income...
It can be said that the short-term income brought to Wang Yi by "The King of Masked Singer" is more than 1 billion.
The long-term benefits are even more incalculable!
This variety show is definitely a bargain.
However, it was not just Wang Yi who was shocked by Lu Provincial TV, but also other TV stations!
It can be said that they are all stupid!
A program can be distributed and broadcast by up to four satellite TV stations in the first round, and now there are three. With Shandong province halfway out, only the last spot is left!
At that time, other satellite TV stations were dumbfounded and began to compete for it, even at the expense of raising prices.
In the end, after a fierce competition, the last first-round distribution spot of "The King of Masked Singer" was won by the wealthy Dragon TV, with a copyright fee of 70 million!
It can be said that Wang Yi has already earned 200 million before this variety show is broadcast!
All I can say is that it feels great.
On April 20, this matter became a hot topic.
For a time, the entire Internet was in an uproar. Everyone knew about the variety show "The King of Masked Singer" and was full of expectations.
With the anticipation building, major advertisers have also begun to compete frantically.
Grab the title, rush to post ads before, rush to pause ads, rush to insert ads in the middle, rush to post ads after...
So much so that Gu Qing was extremely busy.
It is conceivable that Xingyi Media's income will only increase.
However, Wang Yi no longer paid attention to this. He had more important things to focus on.
A week ago, the first factory building of Xingyi Wafer Factory was completed and delivered, and Xingyi Semiconductor has officially taken over.
Subsequently, Xingyi Semiconductor purchased photolithography machines, etching machines and other equipment with a large sum of money and entered the market one after another to build the first production line.
It is also a trial production line.
It is also a research and development factory.
The other factories of Xingyi Fab will not be delivered until the second half of the year, or even by the end of the year.
The first factory delivered now will become the R&D factory of Xingyi Semiconductor.
Mr. Hu and his technical staff will build Xingyi Semiconductor's first 40-nanometer production line in this R&D center and develop 40-nanometer processes.
The Xingyi Semiconductor R&D team started building it last year, and process research and development is also advancing.
But before, research and development was done in the design stage and in the scientific research building.
Now that the No. 1 fab factory has been delivered and the R&D factory is available, it can be upgraded from the design stage to offline verification and trial production stages.
Chapter completed!
