Japan's annual mobile phone sales can reach 60-70 million, which is good, but that includes non-smartphones. Yusuke Ogawa secretly changed the concept and included the number of non-smartphones.
In fact, if KDDI occupies 30% of the smartphone market, then in the next few years the best-case scenario will only be about 15 million units.
Moreover, for a company as big as kddi, it is impossible to sell only Xiao Qi’s Dreamstars mobile phone. At most, Xiao Qi can get half of the share, even if kddi is very abiding by the rules.
According to Xiao Qi's estimate, if he cooperates with KDDI and sells 5 million units a year, I'm afraid it will be the limit and will not be as beautiful as he described!
Unless SoftBank Group also joins in and becomes Xiao Qi's partner, Dreamstars will not be able to sell more units.
The popularity of the iPhone will continue and will not waver for at least ten years.
In addition, Xiao Qi has almost cured Gang Leader Qiao's condition, so this time period may have to be extended for another ten years.
Samsung has strong hardware capabilities. Once they understand users' preferences for smartphones, they will grow as strongly as they did in their previous lives.
Xiao Qi would not worry about second-tier manufacturers such as HTC, Sony, BlackBerry, and Nokia.
But even so, the three-wizard struggle for hegemony among smartphones in the future is already foreseeable.
By then, no matter which country in the world, the mobile phones of the three companies will start a war, and the same will happen in Japan.
Therefore, Xiao Qi would never dream of monopolizing Japan's smartphone market with KDDI. It is better to be more practical.
But at the same time, he is not worried about Fairy Company, Apple and Samsung fighting fiercely in every corner of the world.
Because of the App Store, the aggregator. In fact, the three companies have too many common interests. They control the scale and intensity of the battle within a reasonable range, and together they dominate the mid-to-high-end smartphone market.
Isn’t it joyful?
Xiao Qi thought so, and I believe Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi thought so too.
The smartphone market is too big. It is impossible for one family to monopolize it, so it is the best choice to recruit several allies who are equally powerful and can help each other to conquer a certain level of the market.
Gang Leader Qiao never thought this way in his previous life, and Apple didn't need any allies.
But the problem is that in this life, Xiao Qi has robbed him of the title of the father of smartphones and the killer weapon of the app store. Apple has lagged far behind. It is no longer the proud leader.
As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people, and Gang Leader Qiao, who is already one step behind, can only compromise on this issue that does not involve principles.
However, there is no doubt that within the scope allowed by the rules, Gang Leader Qiao must have been working hard to suppress Fairy Company and Samsung directly - and Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi thought the same way.
The topic comes back to the present.
Xiao Qi has a very clear understanding of the future smartphone wars in each country. Naturally, he will not be fooled by these invisible cakes from Yusuke Ogawa.
"We'll talk about the future later." After Ogawa Yusuke stopped, Xiao Qi said calmly: "I just ask if I give you my mobile phone as a contract phone, what can you give me?"
Ogawa Yusuke didn't think Xiao Qi was that simple. It was simply impossible for him to be a white wolf with nothing.
He nodded and said, "We will pay you the same price as the retail price, and promise to sign a five-year contract and purchase no less than 3 million mobile phones every year. But the condition is that the Japanese market must be sold by us kddi alone."
Xiao Qi laughed dumbly and said: "You said you could sell 20 million units before, but now you only set 3 million units per year. If I agree, wouldn't it mean that in the Japanese market, our Fairy Company can only sell 3 million units per year?
A mobile phone?”
"Mr. Xiao, for a mobile phone that has not yet been released, Japan sells 3 million units every year, which is already very good." Ogawa Yusuke said solemnly, "I think you don't know what this mobile phone is like.
...Just like Samsung's S1, they had such good expectations, but the reality has hit them hard! In doing so, kddi has taken a lot of risks for Fairy Company. I believe that no one can give it to Fairy Company except us.
Such conditions!"
Xiao Qi did not smile when he heard this, but his jaw dropped slightly.
If Dreamstars is really a mobile phone with an unknown fate, then KDDI’s conditions can really be said to be a gamble.
They bought a total of 15 million Dreamstars at retail prices. According to previous non-smartphone standards, it can be regarded as the total sales volume of a mobile phone product.
In other words, kddi basically helps Fairy Company take over all the research and development, advertising costs, etc. Fairy Company is on Dreamstars, no matter how bad it is, it can still recover the cost and make a small profit, which is ten times better than S1.
No wonder Ogawa Yusuke dared to come here because he had such favorable conditions.
However, he didn't know that the success of Dreamstars has long been tested by the market.
Especially now that the successful iPhone has appeared and the failed S1 has also appeared, there is no doubt about the success of Dreamstars.
Just relying on the Dreamstars mobile phone and the enthusiastic fans of Dreampad, Xiao Qi is confident that he will sell 8 million units in Japan a year!
do not doubt.
In 2013, iPhone sales in Japan exceeded 12 million units, and the total sales of Samsung's two mobile phones also exceeded 10 million units. Xiao Qi is naturally confident that he can break the previous record and bring this data ahead of schedule.
"Let's do it." Under Ogawa Yusuke's expectant eyes, Xiao Qi smiled and said: "If the sales volume is within 3 million units, kddi only needs to give me 80% of the retail price. If the sales volume exceeds 5 million units,
, then kddi will give 130% of the retail price. If it is such a contract, I can first sign a three-year exclusive sales authorization agreement."
Ogawa Yusuke became solemn: "Mr. Xiao is so confident?"
"I'm confident, it just depends on whether kddi dares to bet bigger." Xiao Qi laughed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
