Chapter 866 Big Fish Eat Small Fish

After Nielsen released the sales volume of P3, several other data companies and Wall Street media successively announced the sales volume of P3 on the first day of sale.

If the Nielsen data is just because it double-clicks the company's brand, it is in the same camp as Alcatel mobile phone, and whitewashes the data for Alcatel mobile phone, then other data research companies and Wall Street institutions are not necessary.

As soon as the P3 sales came out, the entire Alcatel mobile phone concept stock and industry chain suppliers almost started a carnival!

I still remember that on the first day of the P2 mobile phone sales, the sales volume exceeded one million units, reaching 1000 million units, and when it raked in 2 million US dollars, it shocked the entire technology industry and Wall Street. The average speed surprised everyone. At that time, the technology industry and Wall Street saw for the first time that an industry can still make such huge profits!
With the experience of the P2 mobile phone, after the sales of the P3 were released, all parties became a bit "reserved". However, major media such as technology, electronics, finance, finance, etc., began to report overwhelmingly after the sales of the P3 were announced. .

Before, there were media discussions about which brand of model can break the sales record and amount created by P2. Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other brands have high hopes, but within a year after the release of P2, no mobile phone manufacturer can break it. .

But today, the P3 mobile phone has easily broken all the records created by the P2, with a sales volume of 160 million units and a sales volume of 600 million US dollars!

The record created by Alcatel mobile phone, after all, it broke all these by itself!
In one day, more than 9 million U.S. dollars were raked in. This speed of cutting leeks like cutting melons and vegetables has made the entire technology industry red-eyed. Compared with the earnings, the tens of millions of dollars in advertising fees invested today , It's not worth mentioning at all!
The media that were planning to report negative news about Alcatel’s P3 mobile phone before have changed their tune one after another and began to tout the P3 mobile phone. As long as you are not blind, you can see that a new generation of magic phones may appear again.

"P3 mobile phone, let Alcatel mobile phone once again prove that it is the best mobile phone brand in the world. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and many other securities analysts have announced that they will increase the sales forecast of Alcatel mobile phone this year. Goldman Sachs analysts predict , Alcatel's annual mobile phone shipments will exceed 800 million units, second only to Nokia's 9400 million units!

Alcatel and Nokia will jointly account for 56% of global mobile phone shipments! "

Wall Street was the first to report, declaring that Alcatel, with its P-series phones, has officially become the mobile phone overlord in the North American market, plus Nokia, which dominates the European market, Alcatel and Nokia together account for more than half of the global mobile phone market .

If Motorola, whose shipments account for 17% of the global mobile phone market, and Ericsson, which has a market share of more than 11%, are added to the rest of the world’s dozens of hundreds of mobile phone brands. The rest of the market is less than 16%. market share, most of which have been taken away by Sony, Samsung, Sharp, etc., which also means that a large number of small and medium mobile phone brands have to close their doors and go out of business.

The mobile phone industry seems to be a sunrise industry, and the annual shipments are growing explosively. However, the extra market is eaten up by big brands such as Alcatel, Nokia, and Motorola. For many small mobile phone brands, on the contrary, It's because I'm even hungrier, and my life is getting worse...

Just by selling P3 and Alcatel mobile phones, they will definitely not be able to sell 8000-3 million units, and the production will not be able to produce them. However, the release of P1 has not affected the sales of P2 and P[-]. As long as they are willing to lower the price, there are still countless users who are willing to pay. .

Every time Alcatel releases a new phone, the price of the old phone will be greatly reduced, which will lead to a new round of crazy sales. This year is no exception. On the first day of the P3 release, the official price of the P2 dropped to 299 US dollars. The P1, which has been sold wildly for nearly three years, has been reduced to $110.

And just today, the sales of P2 mobile phones with a big price cut have picked up again, setting a sales volume of over 50 units in a single day!
As for the P1, as a model with a fully mature technology, even if the price is reduced to 110 US dollars, suppliers of parts and components for Alcatel mobile phones can make some money. The production line on the supplier's side will not be willing to shut down...

The sales of P3, coupled with the strong shipments of P1 and P2, made Wall Street analysts firmly believe that Alcatel's mobile phone shipments this year can reach the second place in the world!

"The most profitable brand in the mobile phone industry, Alcatel Mobile, takes 37% of the profits of the mobile phone industry!"

The American Electronic Technology News reported from another angle with a sensational headline, "Alcatel's mobile phone shipments are not the first in the world, but it firmly occupies the mid-to-high-end mobile phone market. Patents, operating systems, etc., one brand takes more than 37% of the profits of the entire mobile phone industry, and it may even be more!"

Obviously, the e-newsletter has put in a lot of effort and made a survey of the entire mobile phone industry. It turned out that in the past few years, half of the profits of the mobile phone industry have been quietly taken away by Alcatel mobile phones. up.

"Universal chargers, USB cables, and maybe major mobile phone manufacturers, and the camera industry that is urgently ordered are all supplied by Alcatel mobile phones, and almost all the patents in the mobile phone accessories market are in the hands of Alcatel mobile phones!
The Symbian system is already the world's largest operating desktop. More than 90% of mobile phone users use Symbian machines. No matter which mobile phone is equipped with the Symbian system, advertising fees and software revenue will be generated. Need to pay to Symbian System Company, which is the parent company of Symbian, Alcatel mobile phone!

Alcatel mobile phone is the pioneer of 2G communication network. P1 is the world's first mobile phone that can access the Internet. Nearly 2% of the patents and technologies related to 40G mobile network belong to Alcatel mobile phone. Any mobile phone that provides network functions , at least one mobile phone, you need to pay a patent licensing fee of more than US$4.5 to Alcatel Mobile!
In addition, PA Semiconductor, which has related transactions with Alcatel mobile phones, has become the second largest mobile phone chip supplier in the mobile phone industry, second only to Texas Instruments. PA Semiconductor has teamed up with Alcatel mobile phones to hold a large number of patents and technologies related to 2G communication technology. At present, more than [-] mainstream mobile phone brands use PA semiconductor technology or chips.

In the field of 3G communications, Alcatel mobile phones and PA semiconductors are also one of the most powerful players. At present, the annual investment and patent applications have surpassed Qualcomm in this field. In the 3G communications era, it may be Alcatel The era of mobile phones! "

The investigation by American Electronic Technology News found that the Symbian system is indeed free, but the facts once again prove that there is no free lunch in the world, and the most expensive is the free one!

The Symbian system is indeed free of charge, and the mobile phone patents, technologies, mobile communication technologies, mobile phone chips, etc. that can be used with the Symbian system have followed suit. It is stronger than Nokia and is now indirectly working for Alcatel mobile phones.

"The game on the P3 mobile phone is fun to play, and the revenue on the first day of its launch exceeded 22 US dollars!"

In the evening, the game IGN reported an unexpected news. On the P3 mobile phone, a "small" game that was shipped from the factory made a profit of 22 US dollars in one day.

Don't underestimate the $22. It sounds far worse than Sierra Games releasing a 3A masterpiece, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars a day.

But Xueleshan’s 3A masterpiece, a game production cost hundreds of millions of dollars, is not much worse than making a special effects movie, but the “Happy Xiaoxiaole” on the P3 mobile phone is obviously just a light game, and the production cost is too high. No more than 100 million dollars!

On the first day of launch, it earned more than 20 US dollars. If there are more and more P3 mobile phone users in the future, how much should this game earn?

This game is not like a stand-alone masterpiece. It can be bought and sold with a hammer. If it is sold, there will be no charge. Happy Xiaoxiaole uses the "in-app purchase" mode, that is, if you fail to pass the level, if you want to revive it, you have to revive it with krypton gold , play again without restarting or losing points!
The game, mobile phone and other industries have not paid much attention to IGN’s reports on IGN, as well as this “small game” at the beginning, but the revenue of this game cannot be supported, and it is steadily increasing every day. The next day, the revenue broke. With a million dollars, it seems that they are earning more and more money, which makes the game industry a little bit impatient!
