income.
Wu Shixian's eyes fell on Qin Hao. The clamshell design was naturally proposed by Qin Hao, but he still had no idea how small the mobile phone could be in this era.
At first, his request was to reduce the weight of the mobile phone to less than 500 grams. However, with the joint efforts of the Finnish R&D department and the Korean appearance design department, the weight of the mobile phone was finally reduced to only 300 grams.
This size has reached the point where a palm can hold it. This is a veritable mobile phone. Although its functions are still very rudimentary, it can only make calls and cannot even send text messages. And once the signal is weak, it will
There are disconnections and noise, but this is not a problem with the mobile phone itself, but caused by insufficient base stations.
"When will this mobile phone be ready for mass production?" Chen Yangzhe asked enthusiastically.
Qin Hao looked at Wu Shixian, who understood and quickly reported the report.
"Our industrial park just completed the first phase of delivery last month, and the equipment has been commissioned as soon as possible. It is expected that construction will start at the end of this month."
Chen Yangzhe smiled at Wu Shixian and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he moved very quickly."
Qin Hao chuckled: "How about it, Grandpa, the professional manager system is still good, right?"
Chen Yangzhe glared at his grandson and said nothing. He had never denied the advantages of the professional manager system, but he had his own considerations.
Qin Hao knows that it is difficult to shake the values that the old man has formed over the years, but it doesn't matter, a little adds up. As long as "samsung" continues to develop, comparing the two, the old man will soon find that the rigid Shunyang Group
In front of "samsung", it is like a slow-moving classic car.
Chen Yangzhe looked at his high-spirited grandson and his subordinate Wu Shixian, and sighed secretly. If his descendants could be like his grandson, why should he worry about the employment system? When he thought of his incompetent children, Chen Yangzhe
Zhe just had a headache.
........
On September 1, 1991, Wu Shixian held a product launch conference under the instruction of Qin Hao. The product promoted was naturally the first generation "Samsung".
The main promotional slogan of this product is also very simple - the first real mobile phone!
Before this, most mobile phones could only be regarded as mobile phones. The lightest ones weighed no less than 800 grams and could not be held in one hand.
When Wu Shixian took out the prototype from his pocket, the entire venue was silent. Almost three seconds later, the entire venue went crazy. The spotlight almost blinded Wu Shixian's eyes. He could only maintain a smile to show off to the reporters present.
In just one day, mainstream newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times published pictures of Wu Shixian holding a mobile phone in his hand, and television reports also brought the content of the conference to thousands of households in Europe and the United States.
Don’t you want to own a mobile phone that is compact and can really be held in your hand?
As for the price of as high as US$1,999/unit, it is not a problem at all. After all, Motorola’s microtac is priced as high as US$2,500/unit.
What's more, in addition to the classic black, this mobile phone called "Samsung" also has seven gorgeous colors to choose from. This is simply a fatal temptation for female users who are fed up with the same black mobile phones.
In just one month, the sales volume of "Samsung" in Europe and the United States exceeded 500,000 units. Compared with the sales volume of tens of millions in later generations, it seems not worth mentioning, but you must know that this was 1991, and it was close to 2,000 units.
The high selling price in U.S. dollars and the ability to achieve such sales have shocked the world.
Moreover, this is even when dealers in many countries are facing shortages. If production capacity was not insufficient, this sales volume could increase by at least 100,000.
The popularity of "Samsung" made Chen Yangzhe jealous, and he even visited the construction site many times to urge Shunyang Construction to complete the second phase of the project as soon as possible.
Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying were even more sore that they almost lost their teeth. That was 500,000 units. Each unit cost 1,999 U.S. dollars. That was close to a billion U.S. dollars in sales. Even if all costs were discarded, it was only 10%.
Profit, even if it is 100 million US dollars, what is the concept of net profit of 100 million US dollars in one month?
This is simply a cornucopia. No, the cornucopia is not that fast. It is completely a money printing machine!
