37: Chapter 37 What is this if not insane?

Bai Jingqing's words drew another round of applause from the audience, and he continued:

"Do you all think 2999 is very cheap? I don't think 2999 is cheap at all!

For an ordinary family, who would spend 3000 yuan to buy a new mobile phone?

For most people, a mobile phone is just a tool, truly just a communication tool.

People like you who are willing to buy high-end mobile phones for a better gaming experience are still in the minority!

No matter what, our Dragon Country is still a developing country!

There are still many people struggling on the poverty line.

3000 yuan might be a month's salary for many ordinary citizens, which means to buy such a mobile phone, one needs to work for a whole month!

Do you all know how long the citizens of Eagle Country have to work to buy an Apple mobile phone?

They only need one week!

As a mobile phone merchant, I feel very ashamed of this!

The high price of 2999 is already my limit.

I have emphasized to you many times what my philosophy is: it is to allow more ordinary people to enjoy the fun brought by technological progress.

3000 yuan, an ordinary person can afford it if they grit their teeth, but if the price rises to five or six thousand yuan, do you think they would still be willing to enjoy this kind of fun?

I think that wouldn't be enjoyment anymore; it would be a kind of pain, a kind of torture, so I will absolutely not raise the price!

2999, if I lose a little, then so be it!

Being able to let the people of our Dragon Country use the best devices at a reasonable price, this is the pursuit of my life, Bai!

"Good! Good! Good! Good!"

After finishing these words, it won another round of cheers from the whole room.

This vision is truly too great!

Boss Bai really wants to make friends with them, really wants to practice his philosophy through his own actions, and really wants to let more ordinary people enjoy the fun brought by technological progress!

Actually, Bai Jingqing had already thought about this very clearly.

He could have set the prices for the xiaomi 4 and xiaomi 5 higher.

The current configuration of these two phones, even if it doesn't crush the top domestic flagships, can at least go back and forth with them.

He could have priced them at seven or eight thousand or even nine thousand, just like other mobile phone manufacturers.

There would certainly be people willing to pay for it, but relatively speaking, there would definitely be fewer buyers, and the profit might not necessarily be higher.

Because after all, not many people can grit their teeth and pull out seven or eight thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone.

But for 2999, most ordinary people can still afford it if they grit their teeth, and if they want to buy a better mobile phone, they are willing to spend 3000 yuan.

This is a contradiction.

If it is expensive, the profit per phone will indeed be higher, but the sales volume will be lower, and the total profit will not necessarily be high.

If it is cheaper, the profit per phone might be a little less, but there might be more buyers, and the final profit might actually be higher.

This is a question of mathematical expectation.

This is just considering it from the profit aspect; there are of course more benefits to lower pricing.

First, his xiaomi phone is, after all, just starting out and still needs to open up the market; low prices are conducive to accumulating reputation and sales.

Secondly, just like that brother said, he also wants to build a great company, eventually win the hearts of countless consumers, and promote the prosperity and flourishing of the Dragon Country mobile phone market!

Pang Xietang stood at his own doorway shouting, but no one paid any attention to him for a long time.

Even passersby would curse him as an idiot, which made him not even want to shout anymore.

He simply moved out a recliner and lay at the door, watching Bai Jingqing act cool inside his mobile phone store.

Saying things like "a great company wins the hearts of the people," saying things like "the philosophy is to let all ordinary people enjoy the fun brought by technological progress," saying things like "not for money, just to make friends with everyone"—he, Pang Xietang, almost believed it!

Businessmen, after all, must have profit as their goal.

No matter how flowery Bai Jingqing's words are, isn't he ultimately just selling phones to make money?

It's just that Pang Xietang hasn't figured out yet how he intends to earn the money back with the price set so low.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became; Pang Xietang felt like he had lost his soul.

Originally, he thought this was a very good opportunity; as long as he hugged the thigh of Li Xiang Technology tightly, he would be able to take down Bai Jingqing.

But he didn't expect that Bai Jingqing would still be standing tall!

Instead, he himself became soft first!

This Bai Jingqing is indeed, just as Chairman Xue guessed, laying out his strategy around the release of honor of kings, but damn it!

This honor of kings has already been released, and he still isn't raising the price!

Oh, he did raise it, he raised it by 1000 yuan, but can 1000 yuan be called a raise?

2999, only a fool would play with him like this!

He got the goods for 5000 yuan, and selling them for 2999, wouldn't that be a loss like dog shit?

But regardless, these goods were bought with loans after mortgaging his house and this mobile phone store.

Now, if Bai Jingqing keeps selling like this across from him, his goods obviously won't sell!

Thinking of this, Pang Xietang became a bit anxious.

"Hey brother, at this price you're selling, isn't this cutting off the livelihood of other mobile phone stores?

Yes, you have deep pockets, you're living carefree, you just say a word about making friends with everyone, set any price, and sell them off.

Damn it, what about the others?

Others don't have as deep pockets as you!

You're selling so low, how do you expect others to live?

How do you expect me to live?!"

By the time it was almost evening, Bai Jingqing was about to get off work, and the people in the shop had all been persuaded to leave by Bai Jingqing.

Seeing only Bai Jingqing left cleaning up, Pang Xietang finally couldn't help it, rushed over, and questioned Bai Jingqing:

"Hey kid, what exactly do you want to do?

If you're going to raise the price, do it cleanly!

How much longer are you going to sell at a loss?!"

Bai Jingqing didn't even want to look at him straight: "Screw your grandmother! Get lost!"

Pang Xietang was so anxious: "No, why don't you go get your brain checked?

I really suspect there's something wrong with your brain!

Is there anyone who does business like you?

You don't earn money when you can, you want to make friends with them, you want to let them enjoy the fun of technology, now they've enjoyed enough, just raise the price a bit!"

Bai Jingqing: "What price my mobile phone store sells at has what the hell to do with you?

None of your business!

Get lost immediately!

I'm annoyed just seeing you!

My mobile phone store is closing, get lost!"

Pang Xietang almost begged: "Little Bai, no, President Bai! Boss Bai! Young Master Bai!

I beg you, please raise the price a little.

If you don't raise the price, I really can't sell my goods!

I mortgaged my house to get these goods!

If I can't sell them, won't my house and this mobile phone store all be ruined?"

Bai Jingqing: "None of my business.

I'm willing to sell at such a low price, so what?

I can afford to lose money, so what?

If you like eating the pie that Xue Haixin drew for you, then eat more of it.

If you can't sell it, go find him!"

Saying this, he didn't want to pay any more attention to this Pang Xietang, directly slammed the rolling shutter door shut, and locked Pang Xietang outside.

He only heard Pang Xietang cursing a few more times from over there, and then leaving indignantly.
