Chapter 766 Aboriginals! Get Ready to Kneel Down and Lick the Wealthy Man’s Gold!

Once upon a time, communication operators on the planet made money by selling mobile phones.

A mobile phone cost tens of thousands of dollars. At that time, only big bosses could afford it. It was a symbol of status and wealth.

But how much profit can you make from selling a mobile phone?

At that time, how many people would have thought that when production capacity was greatly improved and we entered the era of smartphones, mobile phones would be so cheap that everyone would have one? Can even a beggar picking up garbage own a mobile phone?

The rapid popularity of mobile phones has exceeded everyone's expectations. A large number of mobile phone companies have sprung up. The improvement of technology and the rapid decline in prices have greatly reduced the profits of selling mobile phones. In this case, who is the happiest? Who makes the most money?

It is a communications operator.

After the number of mobile phones increased exponentially, who would have thought that with such a huge base, the communication fee of 10 cents per minute would become such an enviable income?

And you still earn it while lying down.

Fiona is very smart. Although she doesn't understand the existence of such a thing as communication fees, she just guessed what Tang En said about the recharge. Tang En must use a large amount of sales to kidnap those users!

As long as this thing is sold, are you afraid they won't use it? As long as they use it, they will definitely be inseparable from the magic phone, and they will definitely recharge it continuously...

This is an endless gold mine!

After figuring it out, Fiona's eyes almost gleamed.

This kind of business method is simply unheard of, so be sure to write it down and dig into the secrets!

Generally speaking, the business model of the service industry is more complex than that of the manufacturing and retail industries. For Purandar, the business model here is still the oldest and most basic business model, which is the "store model." ”, to be more specific, it means opening a store and displaying its products or services in a place with a potential consumer base.

Now, with the progress of the times, business models are becoming more and more sophisticated.

The “bait and hook” model—also known as the “razor and blade” model, or the “tying” model—emerged on Earth in the early 20th century.

In this model, basic products are sold at very low prices and are usually at a loss; while the prices of related consumables or services are very expensive. For example, a razor (bait) and a blade (hook), a printer (bait) and an ink cartridge (hook), a camera (bait) and a photo (hook), etc.

Cell phones (bait) and airtime (hook) are, of course, typical examples.

However, this business case is a little more special. It also incorporates the thinking of Internet user supremacy. If you have users, you have everything. As long as the user's G-spot is stuck, the user will take the initiative to send money to his door.

Magic phones based on low-price sales will rapidly expand and occupy this blank market. The free airtime provided in advance will give people enough time to weave a huge network of contacts. Once people are accustomed to using this network to contact others , the stickiness of this network will become stronger and stronger, and they will become more and more inseparable from it. Eventually, they will all become captives of this big network, continuously contributing gold coins to the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

This is a bottomless trap, and the most terrifying thing is that people will jump into it one after another even if they know it is a trap.

Because its function and status are irreplaceable.

This is the most important factor in ensuring the success of this business model.

"The price of the magic phone will be decided in three days. However, no matter how high the cost is, my current psychological price is no more than twenty gold coins, and it is best to lower it to about ten gold coins."

On average, ten gold coins is almost the monthly income of a person in the Illus Empire. Using one month's income to purchase an irreplaceable remote communicator is absolutely worth it. What's more, this is just an average number. , in Ellington, the per capita monthly income has already exceeded one hundred gold coins, and it will even be higher with bonuses. Even in Yalinks, the monthly income of residents can reach more than 30 gold coins. This price is definitely not affordable. high.

Therefore, pricing the magic mobile phone between ten and twenty gold coins is the most suitable for market promotion and can ensure cost recovery.

Fiona sighed: "But it always feels like a pity that such an epoch-making product is sold so cheaply."

"Who told you it must be cheap?"

Tang En smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't forget, what rich people like most is to be special! It's differentiation!"

"It's like a magic air conditioner!"

Fiona clapped her hands and immediately understood that Tang En was planning to trick people again!

This is what he did before with the Magic Air Conditioner, which obviously had similar functions, but ended up being forced to create so many versions to differentiate between user groups. As a result, it was quite popular, which shows that it is indeed a successful business template.

"Yes, you reacted quickly."

Tang En gave Fiona a thumbs up: "For ordinary people, the communication function of the magic phone is enough, so the lowest standard is enough, but for nobles, especially those who have their own status, status and wealth, Of course, a noble with deep foundation cannot be that simple."

"The material must first be made of high-grade magic metal, right? Magic iron? Fine gold? No, no, no, it's too common. At least it needs to be made of mithril! For those who really like to show off, we provide a local gold version, which uses a whole piece Made of arcane gold!”

"Okin?"

Fiona opened her mouth wide: "Isn't that too exaggerated? How can we have so many ornate golds to be so luxurious as to make a magic phone?"

"Bang!"

Tang En took a photo of a large pile of shining Arcanum, and he was full of richness: "I can take care of enough Arcanum here!"

"Then it can't be used by the entire market..."

"Don't worry about this. It's definitely impossible to mass-produce this kind of thing. The materials are so cool. Of course, the price has to be different from those low-end machines for civilians. The Mithril version starts at 99,999 gold coins. , the Arcane version starts at 199,999 gold coins, and one word stands out, expensive! Not only is it too expensive for them to buy, it also has to be sold in limited quantities, just to show off the special talents of status. Whet their appetite and make them greedy!"

"What is this for? Of course it is to let consumers see our logo...ah, it is our emblem, so we can only kneel down and lick the strategic layout! The most important thing is to make our emblem a high-end one." Synonymous with it, let those users become our fanatical followers!”

"Then our product can release an enhanced version, a professional version, or an upgraded version every now and then. It doesn't matter whether there are any changes in functions. What's important is that there must be obvious changes in appearance, so that they can feel the same as others. The difference is that we should make users with the new generation Magic Phone have a proud sense of honor, and make users with old models feel ashamed and let them take the initiative to replace our products. This will be another huge amount of income. !”

"Also, the functions of Magic Phone cannot be released all at once. For example, we can directly provide video calls now, but we don't provide it directly. Instead, we leave it there for now, and then we can provide it after slowly upgrading it. Do you want to use this feature now? Then buy a limited edition mobile phone! ...What is a video call? It means that two people can talk face to face even though they are far apart."

"Of course the appearance still has to be designed by Ellie. Then we can continue to use the gimmick of elf beauty design to promote..."

"We also need to make customers realize that it is their honor to use our products. We need to influence their thoughts in a subtle way and make them kneel down and lick us...ah, they are pursuing us..."

Tang En, who was frothing at the mouth, gave Fiona a live modern business training class, which opened the door to a new world to the stunned girl and discovered a brand new world.

Although she felt that a lot of what Tang En said was nonsense and exaggerated, after she came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, Fiona couldn't help but be surprised to find that if she followed what he said, it would really work!

Not only does it work, but it’s also incredibly hot!

This kind of business promotion model simply takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature and does not give people a way to survive!

Why does Your Majesty have such a thorough grasp of human nature?

The girl couldn't help but think carefully: "Your Majesty, are you the devil in the abyss of purgatory?"

"Devil? Hahahaha, how could I be the devil?"

Tang En couldn't help laughing: "The devil is not even worthy of carrying my shoes."

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, although His Majesty Tang En often did things in his own way, everything he did was ultimately to make his people stronger and live more comfortably.

He never did anything to hurt one of his own.

He is a good man.

"I've written down everything you said. Do you have any other instructions?"

Tang En smiled and shook his head: "No more for now. Let's wait for the results to come out in three days. I think we can have a big fight then."

Fiona stood up immediately: "Well, then I will prepare for the establishment of Datang Mobile Communications first, and use these few days to carry out preliminary preparations such as store purchases in various cities and personnel recruitment and training."

"please."

As soon as Fiona left, Angus hurried back and shouted to Tang En with a face of surprise: "Your Excellency Tang En, good news! I have completely figured out the secret of the royal cane!"

Tang En was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really!? Does that mean it can be repaired?"

"Yes, if the conditions are right, it can indeed be repaired!"

Angus excitedly spread out a scroll: "This is the scroll found in Hohenheim's library. It was left by Master Hohenheim. If it hadn't been for Edward's bloodline verification, we still wouldn't be able to open this scroll. This It records the detailed process of Master Hohenheim’s original design and production of the Royal Cane, including the materials used, etc.”

Then Angus quickly slid back, pointed at a painting on the scroll with his finger, and said: "If I predict correctly, the totem on this painting curls up to be the pattern on the royal staff - according to Hohenheim's According to the record, it is actually something similar to a space coordinate, but we know too little about the totem, and we need the help of the orc shaman!"
