Things from Another World - Chapter 768

[768. Chapter 766 Aboriginals!]

Once upon a time, communication operators on the planet made money by selling mobile phones.

A mobile phone cost tens of thousands of dollars. At that time, only big bosses could afford it. It was a symbol of status and wealth.

But how much profit can you make from selling a mobile phone?

At that time, how many people would have thought that when production capacity was greatly improved and we entered the era of smartphones, mobile phones would be so cheap that everyone would have one?

Can even a beggar picking up garbage own a mobile phone?

The rapid popularity of mobile phones has exceeded everyone’s expectations. A large number of mobile phone companies have sprung up. The improvement of technology and the rapid decline in prices have greatly reduced the profits of selling mobile phones. In this case, who is the happiest?

Who makes the most money?

It is a communications operator.

After the number of mobile phones increased exponentially, who would have thought that with such a huge base, the communication fee of 10 cents per minute would become such an enviable income?

And you still earn it while lying down.

Fiona is very smart. Although she doesn’t understand the existence of such a thing as communication fees, she just guessed what Tang En said about the recharge. Tang En must use a large amount of sales to kidnap those users!

As long as this thing is sold, are you afraid they won’t use it?

As long as they use it, they will definitely be inseparable from the magic phone, and they will definitely recharge it continuously…

This is an endless gold mine!

After figuring it out, Fiona’s eyes almost gleamed.

This kind of business method is simply unheard of, so be sure to write it down and dig into the secrets!

Generally speaking, the business model of the service industry is more complex than that of the manufacturing and retail industries. For Purandar, the business model here is still the oldest and most basic business model, which is the “store model.” ”, to be more specific, it means opening a store and displaying its products or services in a place with a potential consumer base.

Now, with the progress of the times, business models are becoming more and more sophisticated.

The “bait and hook” model—also known as the “razor and blade” model, or the “tying” model—emerged on Earth in the early 20th century.

In this model, basic products are sold at very low prices and are usually at a loss; while the prices of related consumables or services are very expensive.

For example, a razor (bait) and a blade (hook), a printer (bait) and an ink cartridge (hook), a camera (bait) and a photo (hook), etc.

Cell phones (bait) and airtime (hook) are, of course, typical examples.

However, this business case is a little more special. It also incorporates the thinking of Internet user supremacy. If you have users, you have everything. As long as the user’s G-spot is stuck, the user will take the initiative to send money to his door.

Magic phones based on low-price sales will rapidly expand and occupy this blank market. The free airtime provided in advance will give people enough time to weave a huge network of contacts. Once people are accustomed to using this network to contact others , the stickiness of this network will become stronger and stronger, and they will become more and more inseparable from it. Eventually, they will all become captives of this big network, continuously contributing gold coins to the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

This is a bottomless trap, and the most terrifying thing is that people will jump into it one after another even if they know it is a trap.

Because its function and status are irreplaceable.

This is the most important factor in ensuring the success of this business model.

“The pricing of the magic mobile phone will be decided in three days. However, no matter how high the cost is, my current psychological price is no more than twenty gold coins. It is best to lower it to about ten gold coins.”

On average, ten gold coins are about the same. It is the monthly income of one person in the Illus Empire. Using one month’s income to buy an irreplaceable long-distance communicator is absolutely worth it. What’s more, this is just an average. In Ellington, now The per capita monthly income has already exceeded one hundred gold coins, and it will be even higher with bonuses. Even in Yalinks, the monthly income of residents can reach more than 30 gold coins. This price is definitely not high.

Therefore, pricing the magic mobile phone between ten and twenty gold coins is the most suitable for market promotion and can ensure cost recovery.

Fiona sighed: “But it’s a pity that such an epoch-making product is sold so cheaply.”

“Who told you that it must be cheap?”

Tang En said with a sinister smile: “Don’t forget , what rich people like most is to be special! It is differentiation!”

“It’s like a magic air conditioner!”

Fiona clapped her hands and immediately understood that Tang En was planning to trick people again!

This is what he did before with the Magic Air Conditioner, which obviously had similar functions, but ended up being forced to create so many versions to differentiate between user groups. As a result, it was quite popular, which shows that it is indeed a successful business template.

“Yes, you responded quickly.”

Tang En gave Fiona a thumbs up: “For ordinary people, the communication function of the magic phone is enough, so the lowest standard is fine, but for nobles, especially They are nobles with their own identity, status, wealth and background. Of course it can’t be that simple.” “

The material must first be made of high-grade magic metal, right? Magic iron? Fine gold? No, no, no, it’s too common, at least it has to be used. Starting from mithril! For those who really like to show off, we provide the local gold version, made of a whole piece of arcane gold!”

“Arcanum gold?”

Fiona opened her mouth wide: “Isn’t that too exaggerated? How can we have so many? Are the Ojins so luxurious that they can make magic phones?”

“Bang!”

Tang En took a photo of a large pile of shiny Ojins, full of rich air: “I can handle enough Ojins here!” “

That can’t be used by the entire market. …”

“Don’t worry about this. It’s definitely impossible to mass-produce this kind of thing. The materials are so cool. Of course, the price has to be different from those low-end machines for civilians. The Mithril version starts at 99,999 gold coins. , the Arcane version starts at 199,999 gold coins, and one word stands out, expensive! Not only is it too expensive for them to buy, it also has to be sold in limited quantities, just to show off the special talents of status. Whet their appetites and make them greedy!”

“What’s the purpose of this? Of course it’s to let consumers see our logo…ah, it’s our emblem, it’s a strategic layout that can only be licked! The most important thing is The goal is to make our emblem synonymous with excellence, and let those users become our fanatical followers!” “

Then our product can release an enhanced version, a professional version, an upgraded version every now and then, and do it have any functions? Changes are not important. What is important is that there must be obvious changes in appearance, so that they can feel the difference from others, so that users holding the new generation of Magic Phones can have a proud sense of honor, and that users who are using the old phones can have a proud sense of honor. Users of the model feel ashamed and let them take the initiative to replace our products, which is another huge amount of income!” “

Also, the functions of the Magic Phone cannot be released all at once. For example, we can directly provide them now Video calls are not provided directly. Instead, they are left on hold until they are gradually upgraded in the future. Do you want to use this feature now? Then buy a limited edition mobile phone! … What is a video call? It means that the two of them can talk face to face even though they are far apart.”

“Of course the appearance still has to be designed by Ellie, and then we can continue to use the gimmick of elf beauty design to promote…” “We

also need to make customers aware of it. , it is their honor to be able to use our products, we must subtly influence their thoughts, let them kneel down and lick us…ah, they are pursuing us…”

Tang En, who was foaming at the mouth, gave Fiona another kiss. An on-site modern business training class opened the door to the new world to the stunned girl and discovered a brand new world.

Although she felt that a lot of what Tang En said was nonsense and exaggerated, after she came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, Fiona couldn’t help but be surprised to find that if she followed what he said, it would really work!

Not only does it work, but it’s also incredibly hot!

This kind of business promotion model simply takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature and does not give people a way to survive!

Why does Your Majesty have such a thorough grasp of human nature?

The girl couldn’t help but think about it with horror: “Your Majesty, are you the devil in the abyss of purgatory?”

“Devil? Hahahaha, how could I be the devil.”

Tang En couldn’t help laughing: “The devil even carried my shoes None of them deserve it.”

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, although His Majesty Tang En often does things in a unique way, the things he does are ultimately to make the people under him stronger. more comfortable.

He never did anything to hurt one of his own.

He is a good man.

“I have memorized everything you said. Do you have any other instructions?”

Tang En smiled and shook his head: “Nothing for now. Let’s wait for the results to come out in three days. I think we can have a big fight then. “

Fiona stood up immediately: “Well, then I will prepare for the establishment of Datang Mobile Communications first, and use these few days to carry out preliminary preparations such as store purchases in various cities and personnel recruitment and training.” “

Please.”

Fiona Just after leaving, Angus hurried over again and shouted to Tang En with a face of surprise: “Sir Tang En, good news! I have completely understood the secret of the royal cane!”

Tang En was overjoyed when he heard this: “Really!? In other words, it can be repaired?”

“Yes, if the conditions are all right, it can indeed be repaired!”

Angus excitedly spread out a scroll: “This is the scroll found in Hohenheim’s library. What the master left behind, if it weren’t for Edward’s bloodline verification, we still wouldn’t be able to open this scroll. It records the detailed process of how Master Hohenheim originally designed and made the royal staff, including the materials used, etc.”

Then Angus Sliding back quickly, he pointed at a painting on the scroll with his finger and said, “If my prediction is correct, the totem on this painting curls up to be the pattern on the royal staff – according to Hohenheim’s records, that actually It’s something like a space coordinate, but we know too little about the totem, and we need the help of the orc shaman!”
