53: This is too treacherous!

The facts exceeded everyone's expectations; after its launch, this golden iPhone flagship phone not only didn't suffer from dismal sales, but instead became incredibly difficult to acquire!

In the second-hand phone market back then, the price of a golden iPhone flagship phone could actually buy two new iPhone flagship phones, which means it was speculated to a price of over ten thousand yuan!

The reason why the same configuration, just a different color, sold for a much higher price and had such a great effect, was because it catered to people's psychology of comparison.

Although everyone's phone is the same, mine is just different from yours—this is the weakness of human nature: the desire for comparison.

At this time, Lin Chen naturally went with the flow; since people liked to compare, he let them compare, and Lin Chen smiled, earning a hefty two hundred yuan!

Moreover, Lin Chen was also using facts to teach them in advance the principle of “don’t fall for deceptive tricks,” which was better than them spending tens of thousands of yuan later to buy a golden iPhone flagship phone when the iPhone flagship phone eventually came out.

Of course, with Lin Chen’s existence in this life, whether the iPhone flagship phone will still be snatched up like this for a golden phone in the future is an unknown.

In this regard, the very generous Lin Chen happily satisfied people's desire for comparison, so the cheapest white model was originally only 1600 yuan, while the most expensive golden model was 1800 yuan.

The 1600 yuan price point in the current mobile phone market is actually equivalent to the 2400 yuan price point in later generations, which is the price of a mid-range phone.

As for the price point around 1000 yuan, it is actually equivalent to the 799 or 899 yuan price point in later generations, while 3000 or 4000, or even 5000 yuan, is the price point of the iPhone flagship phone in later generations.

Therefore, all currently popular domestic phones are actually low-end phones; it's not that they haven't launched mid-range phones at the 1600 yuan price point or even high-end phones at the three to four thousand yuan price point.

However, the actual sales are truly pitiful; domestic phones face skepticism and distrust in the mid-range and high-end price segments.

Therefore, currently, the main popular domestic phones are low-end phones priced around 900 to 1200 yuan.

That's why it was said before that the profit earned from selling three domestic phones couldn't even compare to the profit earned from selling one foreign phone.

And this profit mainly refers to mid-range phones; if it's a high-end phone, meaning those high-end phones priced at three, four, or five thousand yuan, then there's no need to mention it,

You selling ten units can't compare to their profit from selling one unit!

The most regrettable thing is that in Great Xia, the sales proportion of these super expensive mid-to-high-end phones actually sold more than in the previous life!

Therefore, the Great Xia people of this era truly believed that the foreign moon was rounder than Great Xia's.

They believed that foreign goods were the best, and they did not trust or recognize their own domestic phones; even if the price was double, they would grit their teeth and buy foreign goods!

At this time, Shuguang Mobile Phone positioning its price in the mid-range was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough; if the shuguang a1 phone, positioned in the mid-range, could sell well nationwide,

Then this will represent the rise of domestic mid-range phones; from then on, the mid-range phone sector will no longer be a place where foreign companies can be arrogant, and they will no longer be able to arrogantly profit from the hard-earned money of the Great Xia people in the mid-range phone sector.

Therefore, the birth of Shuguang Mobile Phone has significant meaning; of course, for ordinary Great Xia people, both sides are actually guys who want to earn their money.

However, one simply earns their money here in Great Xia, then takes that money back to foreign countries, enriching foreign people.

The other uses their earned money for scientific research, employing more Great Xia people; so, although both have the goal of earning the Great Xia people's money, the meaning is completely different.

However, people at this time did not associate these things; after Lin Chen announced the prices, the press conference concluded successfully not long after.

It is worth mentioning that during this press conference, as long as people brought cash, they basically took home one or two shuguang a1 phones.

No way, this shuguang a1 phone was just too great!

Although this phone didn't offer much 'face' when held in hand, using it wouldn't elicit the same envy as using a Nokia or Motorola.

But Shuguang Mobile Phone had too many selling points that even those four or five thousand yuan “smartphones” didn't have.

Therefore, even though many people already had phones, after seeing the shuguang a1 phone, they still decided to replace their old phones with the shuguang a1 phone.

So Lin Chen was surprised to find that out of the 500 phones he prepared, an astonishing 430 shuguang a1 phones were sold directly on the spot after the product launch!

Among these, he also heard regretful remarks like “didn’t bring enough money, can’t buy a phone” more than once.

Presumably, if many people had brought enough money at this time, perhaps all 500 shuguang a1 phones could have been snatched up on the spot!

Thus, the shuguang a1 phone launch event successfully concluded, and the reporters present, after receiving golden shuguang a1 phones worth 1800 yuan from Lin Chen at half price, also left with smiles on their faces.

This trip was not a loss; being able to buy a phone worth 1800 yuan for half the price was a huge gain.

Among them, many reporters who obtained the golden shuguang a1 phone had already decided that when they went back to write their articles, they would definitely exaggerate how noble and rare the golden color was.

After all, the golden phone was so much more expensive than other colored phones; if they couldn't promote the golden Shuguang A1 as a concept of nobility and preciousness,

Then when they use the golden shuguang a1 phone in the future, wouldn't others look at them with idiotic eyes and say:

“Is this guy stupid? He actually spent an extra 200 yuan to buy a golden one? What a brain-dead decision.”

Therefore, to avoid being looked at like idiots when using the golden shuguang a1 phone in the future, the reporters didn't mind giving the golden shuguang a1 phone “special meaning” when writing their articles.

So, at this moment, those more than twenty reporters did not know that they had fallen into Lin Chen's scheme.

If they knew this, they would say that Lin Chen was too cunning, that he would actually exploit human weaknesses!

Thus, this press conference successfully concluded, and several hours later, the content of this press conference also simultaneously appeared in various technology newspapers and internet media across the country.

“The quality of domestic phones has surpassed foreign ones; the world’s second phone to successfully pass the SEG Plaza 292-meter height challenge has officially been born!”

This was from the Nanhua Business Daily newspaper.

The Nanhua Business Daily primarily focused on reporting that the world's second super durable phone was again born in Great Xia.

They specifically explained the past and present of Shuguang Mobile Phone, allowing all readers to understand this information.

They learned that the boss of Shuguang Mobile Phone was actually the inventor of the drop-resistant design for Chenguang Mobile Phone, which is why the shuguang a1 phone is so durable now.

At this moment, they truly admired Lin Chen, the boss of Shuguang Mobile Phone, to the extreme; he had consecutively designed two of the world's most durable phones—this guy was too strong.

Thanks to Lilute's Star for the reward.
