Chapter 1082: It's been 30 years since my grandfather died, and it's time to have an event to celebrate

"Knock knock!" With a rush of footsteps, one of Kristoff's secretaries stepped up to Kristof's identity and handed Christopher a report in his hand.

Kristof glanced at it, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face.

"President? What's going on? The surrounding executives suddenly asked curiously, and here they snorted coldly and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Nokia announced that their Nokia 8110 is going to drop in price!" ”

Christophe circulated the report to all the executives, and it was only then that everyone figured out why. It turned out that Nokia suddenly announced that in order to celebrate the important anniversary of the 130th anniversary of the founding of their Nokia Group, Nokia decided that all mobile phone models currently on sale at Nokia will be sold at a 10% discount for a month!

"9% off all!" Seeing this news, everyone in Motorola was shocked, not to mention other old mobile phones, this time the latest Nokia 8110 should also be in the ranks of discount sales.

According to the calculation of the 9% discount, then the price of Nokia 8110 will drop by $300, which is even more huge than the $200 of Christophe's plan, which is simply amazing.

Not to mention that all of Nokia's mobile phones are on sale, could it be that Nokia is completely crazy, and the $300 profit is given away, how can they make money, or that Nokia is not going to make money at all?

They don't know this, even if Nokia has a 9% discount on all mobile phones, it will make a lot of money.

"It's a pity, if our Motorola is still two years away from its 70th anniversary, otherwise we can get a full-scale discount, these guys from Nokia are too cunning!" Christophe lamented in his heart.

Nokia's excuse is really fantastic, because the company is 130 years old and has a 9% discount, which will not give too much anger to customers who are facing a price reduction just after buying a mobile phone.

After all, this activity is only once in 130 years, and I happened to bump into it, and people deliberately lowered the price in order to celebrate their anniversary, and they can't criticize others!

Moreover, Nokia also made a point to explain that the event will only last for one month, and after a month, the price of all mobile phones will return to the original price.

So as soon as Nokia came up with this excuse, there was no need to worry about customer opposition at all.

The promotional effect brought by the price reduction is extremely obvious, and the sales of Nokia 8110 have skyrocketed by 500,000 units in just about half of the entire October, directly surpassing the sales of Motorola STARTAC, which was originally ranked second, as many as 200,000 units.

On the contrary, Motorola's market is crazy to be occupied by Nokia about half, anyway, they are all slide phones, and the forced price of the product is similar, who buys it is not to buy, why not buy it cheaper than $300?

Feeling the great pressure, Kristof once again held a meeting to reduce the price of mobile phones, and Kristof also made up his mind that this time, no matter how opposed by various executives, the price must be reduced, otherwise the sales of Motorola STARTAC will become a joke.

As for the reason for the price reduction, Christophe has thought about it, next month is the 30th anniversary of the death of Motorola's founder, that is, Christopher Calvin's grandfather Johnson Calvin, so Christophe plans to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Johnson Calvin's death as a reason to give Motorola STARTAC a price reduction, and it is also a 10% price reduction, which is the same as Nokia.

Well, in terms of reason, this reason is similar to Nokia's reason. But the problem is that there is a big discount promotion to commemorate the death of a founder, which seems very funny to say.

But Christopher Galvin can't help it, who made this point in time too embarrassing, except for grandpa, there is no one else to take out to commemorate it!

Not surprisingly, Christophe Galvin's second discount intention, as soon as it was announced at the high-level meeting, was once again met with strong opposition.

However, Christoph Galvin was ruthless, directly ignoring these executives, and directly as the president and chairman, to forcibly implement this plan.

But unfortunately, when Christopher Galvin had signed his words, a large group of old men suddenly appeared in the conference room.

Seeing these old men, Christoph Galvin was half discouraged, because these old men were all directors of the board of directors of Motorola, and their intention to appear here at this time was very obvious.

However, in order to save Kristoff's face, the old men asked all the others to leave, and talked to Kristoff for a long time in the conference room.

The content is nothing more than that you made a big mistake, and we old guys still keep your position as chairman regardless of our past suspicions, and you must know how to repay your kindness.

Then they all already know about it, and it's really inappropriate for the old chairman to hold activities on his anniversary, even God can't stand it.

In addition, if the price is reduced by $300, Motorola's profits will be completely forfeited, which will lead to a decrease in investor confidence and their stock will ...... Of course, in fact, it doesn't matter if the stock price falls, the key is that Motorola, as a high-end company, cannot rely on discounts to obtain sales, and should develop better products.

In the end, these old men said that they are still very satisfied with Motorola STARTAC, and they are also very satisfied with Kristoff's work, and Kristoff should not make a mess.

However, this still could not convince Christophe, but in the end, an old man said lightly, "Don't take the interests of everyone to save your face." Isn't it just weeding someone else's yard? I gave your old chairman a lifetime of grass, I didn't complain about anything, you just went to work for a day, you were a little frustrated when you were young, it's good to polish it! ”

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Kristof was completely speechless, because in this way, if he insisted on it any longer, it would seem that Kristof had lowered the price in order to avoid weeding Daqian.

After all, before Nokia's price cut, Motorola ranked second, and there was no need to weed Jia Yapeng's yard, but now Nokia's performance has surpassed, and the weeding person has become Christophe.

"Well, this time I'm not going to cut the price!" In the end, Christophe gave in, and the directors showed satisfied expressions, but Christophe went on to say, "Seniors, this time the price can not be reduced, but with the rise of everyone, the mobile phone wants to sell for another $3,000, I'm afraid it's impossible, the future of the phone will definitely drop to $1,000 to $2,000 between $1,000 and $2,000, if we don't change the sales strategy, Motorola's mobile phone business, I'm afraid it will only be completely replaced." ”

"We old guys know this!" The directors nodded, "However, profit always comes first, and if there is no profit, the company will really collapse." If you want to reduce the price, you can't reduce the profit, this is our bottom line! ”
