Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

After thinking for a moment, he contacted Qin Wanqiu and Zhang Mingming again.

After all, as leading portal websites, these two companies have a wealth of experience in website operation.

In addition, Zhang Mingming's Wanwang search can also provide a search link pinning service for Lao Liu's novel reading website.

As long as the user searches for relevant keywords, Lao Liu’s web page will be displayed first.

Moreover, HiChina Search can also provide piracy blocking services, directly blocking those unauthorized pirated websites.

As for Qin Wanqiu's Red Star Online portal, it is possible to access the novel reading network through paid access.

This way, you can get more novels at a lower cost and faster, thus increasing user stickiness.

The novel reading website created by Lao Liu and others can also gain higher popularity and advertising revenue to maintain its operations.

This is a win-win investment.

After some communication, the investment plan was finally finalized.

Zhou Ling's family venture capital fund invested 1500 million yuan and held a 15% stake. Zhang Mingming's HiChina Technology and Qin Wanqiu's Red Star Online also invested 1500 million yuan each and held a 15% stake each.

A total of 45% of the shares.

Lao Liu invested 2000 million yuan and holds 20% of the shares.

There are still 35% left, of which 24% are technology shares, which are divided equally among Lao Liu and his roommates and several founders, and 11% is reserved for subsequent employee incentive equity pool.

With this investment, Lao Liu and others’ novel reading website took off like a rocket!

Not only did they purchase their own servers, they also moved into a tall office building on the Kowloon Peninsula.

It just so happened that their major was engineering application, and their senior year was mainly focused on practical learning, so they basically stayed in the office.

Several website operation veterans came from Red Star Online and HiChina Technology to help them quickly promote and expand the market.

In just less than three months, the number of resident authors exceeded 300, the number of registered users exceeded million, and the daily PV exceeded !

Novel reading websites have entered the fast lane of rapid development.

……

In late July 1995, the three major operators announced the launch of GSM mobile communications networks in more than 7 major cities across the country.

Originally, GSM networks were only available in first-tier cities and provincial capitals. This announcement now means that the nationwide GSM network deployment is basically complete.

Throughout late July, sales at Huaguang and Wanwei mobile phone retail stores across the country were off the charts!

When the GSM pilot program was first launched in China two years ago, the total domestic mobile phone sales volume was only 200 million units.

Today, the sales of Huaguang and Wanwei in the domestic market alone have reached 10 million units!

It accounts for more than 95% of the domestic market share!

Still rising!

Nokia is worth mentioning.

This mobile phone giant that Peng Wanhua used to be in his previous life is now in a state of disgrace.

After comparing the Huaguang and Wanwei mobile phones, Nokia's senior executives looked at the newly released Nokia 1011.

Found a big problem!

This model is out of date before it is even released...

But we have to release it because we have invested a lot of money in research and development and have not yet recovered the cost.

So Nokia gritted its teeth and launched the world's fifth commercial mobile phone.

As soon as the users made the comparison, they discovered Nokia’s fatal flaws.

Lower resolution, shorter battery life, heavier, and can’t access the Internet!

If it weren't for the precedents of Huaguang and Wanwei, Nokia 1011 would be the brightest star in the mobile phone industry.

However, with Huaguang and Wanwei, Nokia 1011 becomes very embarrassing.

The configuration, performance, and even functions are far inferior to Wanwei's low-end machines. How should it be sold?

How to price it?

Set it at $1500?

Even a fool wouldn't buy it!

You should know that Wanwei's mid-range machine is only 1599 US dollars, and the low-end machine is only 1399 US dollars.

Order for 1399?

That definitely won’t make money.

The key is that there are low-end machines from Wanwei, which cannot be sold at this price!

So Nokia executives racked their brains and finally decided on a reasonable price of 1199.

This price basically does not make any profit, and even has to pay money to the channel dealers.

However, Nokia's people have calculated that if they can sell millions of units, they can at least recover the research and development costs. They will not make a profit but will not lose money either.

However, even at this price, there are still few buyers in the market.

Think about it, it would be strange if a mobile phone that can’t access the Internet, has a low resolution and poor battery life could sell well.

The most important thing is that Nokia 1011 was released at the end of the year and went on sale in the spring of the following year.

However, in the spring, Huaguang and Wanwei released new models. . .

For Nokia, selling even 100,000 units is a luxury, let alone one million units!

The mission failed and Nokia's mobile phone division suffered a loss of US$1.5 billion!

After learning from the painful experience, Nokia's president directly cut off the mobile phone department, stopped making mobile phones, and focused on making communication network equipment.

Motorola suffered the same fate.

This company and Nokia are in the same boat.

After Nokia released its new model, Motorola also bit the bullet and released its new model.

As a result, in the North American market, it was beaten so badly by Apple-MJ that even its mother couldn't recognize it.

So he also suffered a loss of $1 billion and ended up in a miserable way.

The pattern of the global mobile phone market thus emerged.

The top four in the mobile phone industry are Huaguang, Wanwei, NTT-MP, and Apple-MJ.

However, careful mobile phone enthusiasts took apart the phones and found that the overall hardware, software and components of these phones are almost the same.

The biggest difference is the appearance and brand.

That day, Li Wei came to Peng Wanhua to report on the operating conditions of the two major groups this year.

"Wanwei's products are mainly divided into three categories. The first category is consumer terminals, including mobile phones, computers, pagers, CD players, electronic watches, etc."

"By the way, mobile phone products have basically withdrawn from the market. This business has been completely replaced by mobile phones."

Peng Wanhua nodded. The emergence of mobile phones meant that the big brother had indeed reached the end of his life.

Li Wei continued: "Last year, the sales of mobile phones, including OEM and OEM products, reached 2700 million units. This year, thanks to the explosion of the mainland market, the sales volume has reached 2800 million units so far in the past ten months!"

"It is estimated that the total sales of mobile phones this year will exceed 3300 million units! Compared with last year, it has increased by at least 600 million units, and the main source of the increase is in the mainland!"

"Computers are another major strategic product of ours. After one and a half years on the market, sales have reached 200 million units!"

“What surprised us the most was the pager. The lifespan of this product exceeded our expectations. Even though it was launched earlier than the mobile phone, its sales this year are still booming!

Although it is less than the peak shipment volume of 1200 million units, it is still more than 1000 million units! "

"According to our analysis, mobile phone customers are mainly in the urban market, while pagers are gradually sinking to county towns and rural markets.

Therefore, even if BP machines are gradually being phased out of cities, the vast lower-tier markets still support huge sales. According to our estimates, in the next five years, the vast lower-tier markets will also have a huge demand for BP machines. "

"It's just that our current mobile phone costs are high and we can't reduce costs further. Maybe if we continue to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and promote mobile phones to the vast rural market in a few years, our mobile phone shipments will reach 5000 million units!"
