"Wang Chuanyi's molding workshop already has the basis for making mobile phone cases. It's not difficult to open a mold! Try to get them to sell it for three thousand, and we can sell it for one thousand and five thousand! Also, don't stay in China. Ask Mr. Xin to see what we are doing in China. After reading the inspection report of Asia, I will go to Uzbekistan and see if they can sell our mobile phones.”
"Development is about to begin here, and there must be a lot of demand for mobile phones. If we find a suitable entry point, we will have an opportunity."
For a country with second-and-a-half-generation calling technology, is a mobile phone production line valuable? You said two million is him, and twenty million is also him. As long as your mobile phones sell well, the mobile phone production line can mark the price at will.
The investment scale is 500 million US dollars, and one production line can make Ji Donglai 100 million US dollars.
With this place as the center and radiating to the entire five Central Asian countries, even fake mobile phones can be sold in large quantities as long as the locals like them. This is the law of the market.
At present, Samsung is still a pure scumbag, and anycall is actually imitating the Nokia 1100 in China. The main thing is that it is cheap. If Samsung can do it, why can’t we do it ourselves?
Ji Donglai thought of this and took a pen to sketch on it. Lu Lu was talking to the mobile phone engineer, and Ji Donglai was using his impressions to draw almost all the appearance of the era's high-quality mobile phones on the paper.
Ji Donglai barely slept that night. He freed up all the mobile phones that were about to become popular in this era, and then sent all the files, including pictures, to Lu Lu.
"This is simply a genius design. It's so beautiful. Why didn't I think of it?"
"I feel the same way. These mobile phones will definitely become popular."
"This mobile phone should be able to be sold for less than 200 yuan. Just use this. This strategy is still the same for rural areas to surround cities..."
A group of engineers from the Land Mobile Phone Division looked at the mobile phone renderings provided by Ji Donglai with excitement in their eyes. After all, many design shapes were ahead of their time.
"I have been here for a while. Let me tell you about the habits of the ethnic groups here. Like all ethnic minorities, the ethnic groups here are all good at singing and dancing, so it is best for our mobile phones to be separated into different levels!"
"A basic mobile phone can send and receive text messages and make phone calls; a more advanced one can send and receive MMS messages, pictures, etc.; and if it is a higher level, it can add a speaker function."
"These people can sing and dance no matter when and where they are. If you add an external music function and add the mp3 function, their purchase willingness will more than double."
"Now mobile phones have begun to have camera functions. You can try high-end phones. If it is too bad, don't use it. In short, it should be based on the consumption habits of local people. Lu Lu contacted Li Xiaojuan and investigated the songs that people here like. Preset it into the mobile phone and let the locals choose.”
"You are the most profitable part of our company. Remember, you must be a hit! Be prepared to come here to assemble mobile phones!"
Having gained a foothold, Ji Donglai plans to do something big next.
Especially once the industrial zone is established, Ji Donglai will start selling his products. As long as the market is all about your own products, whatever you say is right.
This is true no matter which market it is in. To put it bluntly, no matter how good Apple’s mobile phone is, it cannot be sold by Samsung.
Ji Donglai and others held a meeting for three hours. It took Lu Lu and others a whole week to digest Ji Donglai's ideas before taking action.
Li Xiaojuan also communicated with local young people and selected 30 of the best local songs to send back to China.
The technology for manufacturing mobile phones is now readily available for one-yuan manufacturing. SMT machines and assembly lines are all ready-made.
For battery technology, Ji Donglai directly asked BYD to look for BYD in the south. Many international suppliers are now supplied by BYD. There is no need to try it yourself, you will only drag yourself to death.
Ji Donglai clearly remembers the envy and longing in the eyes of the locals when they saw his group using mobile phones.
According to the data provided by Youdus, there are currently less than one million mobile phone users in Uzbekistan. The country has a population of more than 20 million, and there is currently only one mobile operator.
Once rolled out, there is huge room for performance growth.
After Lu Lu finished the meeting with Ji Donglai, the rest contacted Youdus, Li Xiaojuan and others. All local agents are handed over to Youdus, and all translation work and communication come from Li Xiaojuan.
Of course, Ji Donglai's layout here definitely goes beyond mobile phones. In the beginning, Ji Donglai relied on computers to raise prices.
Now that Uzbekistan's office automation is starting to take off, with the idea of mobile phones, Ji Donglai directly called Wang Jue's channel, and first ordered 200 computers manufactured in Uzbekistan by Yiyuan.
The remaining units are ordered for 5,000 units, targeting the office market in this country.
According to local regulations, products sold in Uzbekistan can be exempted from import tariffs only if their localization rate reaches a certain percentage. Ji Donglai directly asked Zhu Hui to find several chassis drawings in China. The steel plates were transported from China and the computer main chassis was obtained. Stamping in an industrial park.
The era of computer building began in China, and Ji Donglai introduced computers to Uzbekistan almost simultaneously.
"This is a promising market. To be honest, I like it here very much, except for the weather. My mother, when will our air conditioner be turned off? Abbas, hurry up!"
The glass wool project is about to come to an end. The continuous high temperature in Uzbekistan makes the kiln dry quickly, twice as fast as in China. Ji Donglai was happy and wiped the sweat from his head.
In this kind of weather, several commercial vehicles imported from China broke down on the road. High engine temperatures were a common occurrence. Ji Donglai felt as if his office was on fire.
Not only are local air conditioners expensive, their effects are mediocre, and their energy consumption is still high. Ji Donglai ordered 30 Gree units from China.
Originally, the air conditioner had arrived at the port and was sent to the warehouse together with the goods, but customs was still unable to get through.
"Ji, the customs people need to spend some money, otherwise they won't allow customs clearance. You know that, they..."
Abbas said and shrugged. Because the glass wool factory is relatively large, the local government specifically allowed Sanfu to set up a temporary customs warehouse in the workshop. It is usually locked. When the boxes are unpacked, customs officers come to check the goods.
As long as it complies with the imported goods list, you can come out safely, but never come out safely. As long as the customs comes, people must need money.
"Take a thousand dollars from the accountant and you can handle it. I want air conditioning in the office tomorrow. It's too hot. Go and get it done. It's done for free. The thousand dollars is yours. It cost nine hundred." Nine, the remaining ten yuan is also yours, we require the goods to clear customs immediately, hurry up!"
