Chapter 876: There is a sense of crisis

As one of the largest telecommunications operators in Hong Kong, Dadong Telegraph Office has had a good time lately.

Although a huge amount of money has been spent to build 18 signal tower base stations in Xiangjiang, the people of Xiangjiang unexpectedly supported the pager, so that their pager business was hot from the beginning, and the customer service staff was expanded three times in a row.

The pager itself is also in short supply.

As long as the goods are shipped from England, they will all be sold out in a few days.

If it weren't for the starvation effect, they would probably apply directly to the headquarters, and you can give me 100,000 units at a time.

Zheng Rong, who is responsible for doing this, is naturally proud.

Although he couldn't get the position of general manager of the department, Luo Hill, the general manager of the pager business, still knew the rules very well and applied to the company during the Spring Festival and rewarded him with 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to buy a big house of 800 square feet!

But Zheng Rong regretted a little that he did not use the money to buy a house, but entered the stock market.

As a result, although the stock market is okay, it is definitely not as fast as the house, and in just over two months since the Spring Festival, the house that his wife has taken a fancy has risen by 150,000!

Of course, Zheng Rong is not in the mood to regret the matter of the house these days, he is being troubled by a very troublesome matter.

Singtel, just two days ago, suddenly announced that it also started paging business, the price of the pager is the same 3888, and the monthly fee is the same 100 yuan, but there is a little difference.

People use Chinese pagers!

Chinese pager, according to Singtel's advertising promotion, you don't need to find a phone booth at all, hurriedly ask who made the call, what message was left.

The person who leaves a message can directly entrust the customer service staff to the pager of the message if he wants to leave a message.

Although the word count is limited to 20 words, it is definitely a very remarkable feat!

Under normal circumstances, at most, you can send one more pager message to say what you want to express, and then the person being paged can decide whether to call back in such a hurry according to the situation.

Here's an example.

For example, my wife made something delicious at night and wanted to ask her husband to come back early for dinner.

As a result, her husband's English pager was running, and he was running business outside, looking for a phone to pager back and forth everywhere, but he was out of breath when he ran out, but in the end he just got such a message that was not too important, which was really laughing and crying.

But with the Chinese pager, all he received was "I made something delicious in the evening, come back early!" ”

After receiving this message, the husband must have smiled happily, put the pager back, and continued to busy his work.

All right.

This is the advertisement of Singapore Telecom, it is said that it is still the idea given by Yin Jun, just such a small story and small advertisement, and directly received 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

But its effect really speaks for itself.

On the first day of Chinese pager sales, 22,000 Chinese pagers were sold in Singapore.

What is Singapore's population?

More than 4 million is less than 5 million!

With such a population ratio, 22,000 units were sold on the first day, what a crazy concept.

Singtel does not only operate in Singapore, but also has branches in nearby Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

The population of the Chinese in these places exceeds 30 million.

If you let Singtel do business in these countries, they will make a lot of money!

It is even possible that Singtel will come to Heung Kong to snatch this bustling market!

Don't doubt it, the people at Temasek in Singapore have always had big appetites.

So Zheng Rong was a little panicked.

His idea of the Dadong Telegraph Office was not just for a small place like Xiangjiang.

He carefully checked the source of the Chinese pager and found that this is the registered patent invented by Kirin Electronics Company, a subsidiary of Kirin Group, - without him to check carefully, Kirin Electronics has long stated in the promotional materials the time when he applied for a patent, although it has not yet come down, but it has also been protected by law.

Zheng Rong immediately went to see his boss Rohir.

Roshiel naturally knew about it, but he didn't care much.

"Singtel is only strong in Nanyang, and it is impossible for us to compete in Xiangjiang. Roshier said, "Not to mention anything else, can the Xiangjiang government agree to let them build those signal base stations? Who else has obtained the qualifications except for us to call Xiangjiang? If anyone can enter, isn't it a mess?"

"No, Rohir, we shouldn't just see Xiangjiang. Zheng Rong said firmly, "Don't say anything else, think about Treasure Island! Treasure Island has a population of about 30 million, and the population of several major metropolitan agglomerations exceeds 10 million. If we can get the patent and authorization of this Chinese pager, we can go to Baodao to develop the pager business! This is at least equivalent to the business of two Xiangjiang!"

Roshier's eyes moved, but he still shook his head, "There are China, China, Telecommunications, and Telecommunications in Baodao, as well as other telecommunications companies. They saw our success and would definitely grow their pager business on their own. If we go, whether we can grab the market or not is a question, and the key is that the expenditure is too large, if we can't recover the cost, won't we become sinners?"

"Then we won't do anything?" said Zheng Rong disappointedly.

"No, of course there are things that can be done. Roshier smiled, "You go and discuss with the people of Kirin Electronics and ask them to give us the monopoly rights of Xiangjiang's Chinese pager." ”

"Good!"

Zheng Rong nodded, this should be, "What about the price?"

"1,600 is about the same. Roshiel said lightly.

"This ......"

Zheng Rong is a pager, of course he knows what the purchase price is.

The pager they bought at the Dadong Telegraph Office was 2,000 yuan each, but this was taken by the British group company to take part of the profits, in fact, the pager machine taken by the headquarters in the pager factory was about 1,500 yuan a piece.

This is still the purchase price of the Great Eastern Telegraph Office, they are not bought separately, but together with the needs of the British mainland, it belongs to the large-scale purchase of hundreds of thousands or even millions of units, so that there will be such a cheap price of 1500.

Zheng Rong didn't know the cost of Kirin Electronics, but after all, the factories in Asia were much cheaper than those in Europe, and they could still save a lot of money.

But it is estimated that it will not be lower than 1300-1500,

Only give them 1600, if you count people's Chinese pager patents, it is basically to let them sell at a flat price, almost no profit.

"The price is a little lower, right? Will this make them rebound?" Zheng Rong said hesitantly.

"What if they want to rebound?" Roshier said disdainfully, "This is Xiangjiang, our territory! Moreover, in addition to us, who else can he sell Chinese pagers to? We can help them sell, which is already to give Yin Jun a face." ”

As soon as Rohir said this, Zheng Rong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "I understand!"

"What?" Rohir was a little puzzled.

"I understand why they didn't look for us closest, but went to Singapore to sell Chinese pagers!" Zheng Rong suddenly realized, "It turns out that Yin Jun has long seen through our monopoly position, so he doesn't want to come to us to beg us at all." He directly approached Singapore, which has not yet launched a pager business, where there is an urgent need for pagers, and it is a Chinese pager, so they hit it off, Singapore gets a Chinese pager, and Kirin Electronics gets the opportunity to publicize!

If I think correctly, now Kirin Electronics must be ready to start its own sales all over Asia! Maybe the next step is Treasure Island! With Singapore's demonstration role, this Chinese pager must be very popular, and their products will sell very well! Wow, it really deserves to be Yin Jun, it's really amazing!"

Roshier's face was a little unhappy, isn't his subordinates belittling himself by praising others so much?

He coughed lightly, "But this, what does it have to do with us? If I want to buy 1 of them, they can only sell 1 of them obediently, if I don't want it, who will they produce and sell it to? No matter how well he sells in the outside world, in the Xiangjiang market, doesn't he have to listen to us? If it's a dragon, you have to keep it for me, and if it's a tiger, you have to lie on my stomach!"

Roshier has been coming to Xiangjiang for more than 20 years, and this Chinese dialect is very slippery, and even such sayings can be used freely, which shows how well he understands Chinese culture.

Zheng Rong couldn't help laughing, "Do you think Yin Jun is the one who cares about this money?" Besides, many people are very dissatisfied with our exclusive pager business, and I heard that Xiangjiang Telephone Company is ready to enter. If there really is such a day, Yin Jun will change hands and cooperate with the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, what will we do with Dadong Telegraph?"

Rohir nodded, "That's what you're talking about. Well...... There is no reason to have one more enemy for no reason. Let's tell them 2,000 units! 10,000 units first. ”

Zheng Rong was speechless to him.

You didn't do anything, just sell 3888, and the cost of people is about 1300 or 1400, plus other people's patent fees, only make them so little, Yin Jun will be happy?

But he also knew that it was very rare to get Rohir to make such concessions.

If it weren't for Yin Jun's company, if it wasn't for wanting to have a good relationship with Yin Jun, Roshier would rather give up this Chinese pager business, and it didn't matter.

Anyway, the British Telegraph Office is now the only one, and you don't like to use digital pagers, so you have to use them.

So in the end, Zheng Rong didn't say anything.

Only by letting Rohir see how popular Chinese pagers are, will he change his prejudice!

Zheng Rong believes that as long as the Chinese pager comes out and the price is the same, few people will be willing to choose the previous digital pager.

It's just that in order to make the previous tens of thousands of users not chill, Dadong Telegram will definitely increase the sales price and service price of Chinese pagers, so that the previous users can balance.

And wait until a year or two later, and then engage in an activity, so that the previous old users can all change to Chinese pagers, that is the best marketing, but also more convenient management.

Speaking of Kirin Electronics, the people are really powerful, and they didn't think of using Chinese pagers on their side, so they made it out quietly.

Calculating the time, I'm afraid they started research and development as early as the end of last year, right?

At that time, the British Telegraph Office was still doing pager propaganda, and they thought of this upgraded version!

If Yin Jun came up with all this thing, then he is really a genius worthy of his name.

If the British Telegraph Office were against him, it would certainly not be a good choice.

In order not to make him hold a grudge, after the market is defeated, it is imperative to increase the purchase price appropriately..
