Back To 1995: Chapter 984 add fuel to the fire
Looking at the large pile of beautiful knives in the bag, Dwight couldn't help itching, thinking about whether to make another vote. Seeing that the supply of P4 seems to be in short supply in a short period of time.
But Dwight was afraid of smashing it in his hands. This thing is priced one day, and no one knows whether it will be rotten tomorrow or the price will continue to rise.
Dwight still wanted to wait and see for a few days before making a decision, but he soon found out that he was too small. Those gangsters who cut leeks were much darker than gangsters!
Seeing that the first wave did not make any money, the distributors, agents, and distributors of P4 are not reconciled to watching the ducks fly away again. P4 agents are all starting to hoard goods and hesitate to sell them, artificially creating out-of-stock phenomenon.
This caused the P4 phones on the market to become more and more tense. Even though Alcatel mobile phones put in 7 million units, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with a little splash, and then disappeared.
When Dwight heard the report from his subordinates that at the mobile phone store, the price of a P4 began to increase to 40 dollars before he could get the goods, he couldn't help but scolded that the gang who killed thousands of dollars had really black hearts, and they should all go to hell.
He didn't hate those dealers who hoarded goods, but he was dissatisfied with those brave guys who didn't bring these little scalpers together to make money!
For Alcatel mobile phones, of course, they don’t want users to be cut off from leeks, and require dealers and agents to start selling the products as soon as they get them. Knife, settled the payment with Alcatel mobile phone, that is, the machine was bought by them, it has nothing to do with Alcatel mobile phone, they can sell it as they want!
Even if Alcatel is dissatisfied with mobile phones, it is impossible to cut off cooperation with all dealers. It can only continue to let Alcatel mobile phone industry chain manufacturers increase production capacity, and see if those hyenas will support themselves to death.
But in a short period of time, there are really not many machines on the market, just like the hype of graphics card mining in later generations, artificial manufacturing shortages, even if manufacturers are really desperately producing, but the products produced are all sold by dealers and various scalpers. , so that the price of graphics cards remained high, surpassing gold for a time, and becoming a real "hard currency".
The current P4 also has a bit of a taste of future generations who are crazy about graphics cards. Even if Alcatel’s mobile phone production capacity increases rapidly, it will take time. This makes the current price of P4 continue to soar. The phenomenon of price but no market began.
This crazy scene made the Wall Street media exclaim that P4 mobile phones are about to become futures. This is something that no one thought of beforehand.
"P4s are out of stock in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago and other places. Even in San Jose, where Alcatel's mobile phone headquarters is located, P4s are completely sold out, including America Telecom's electronic retail flagship store!"
A reporter, standing in front of the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park building in San Jose, said to the camera, "In addition, according to overseas news, P4 mobile phones are also out of stock in London, Paris, Moscow, Singapore, Hong Kong City, Yanjing and other places. Among them, Yanjing is the world's largest mobile phone production line and assembly base for P4, but it is also out of stock now!
Wall Street Merrill Lynch analysts claim that the out-of-stock of P4 does not rule out human speculation. The production capacity of P4 is constantly increasing. In the next two to three months, the monthly shipment is expected to exceed 3.75 million units, and there is no need to buy at a high price... "
It’s okay not to mention that, when the analysts of Merrill Lynch Investment Bank announced that the shortage would last for two to three months, the scalpers went completely crazy, clutching the machine in their hands, not selling it for life or death, not selling it high or low, No amount of money is sold!
"Merrill Lynch, what are you going to do!"
Eltian, with dark circles under his eyes, felt a headache when he saw the Merrill Lynch analyst's remarks. He felt that Merrill Lynch was completely adding fuel to the fire.
The past few days when the P4 went on sale, for Ertian, it has been pain and happiness. From worrying that the P4 will not be sold, to now worrying about the lack of P4 production capacity, let the people in the marketing department put pressure on the dealers to follow the Selling P4 at a "specified price" and contacting Yanjing to increase production capacity, Ertian hasn't slept at all in the past few days, and the whole person is completely supported by excitement.
"Merrill Lynch invested heavily in Alcatel's mobile phone concept stocks. In the latest quarter, it became the top ten shareholders of Alcatel's mobile phone supply chain manufacturers such as 3M, Knowles Electronics, Dikler Battery, and Micron Technology!"
The vice president of finance of Alcatel Mobile, who worked for Marcus, and the former director of the finance department of Boeing Aircraft, said to Ertian that he was quite familiar with the routines of Wall Street. He knew that there must be a bad fart over there.
Hearing that Alcatel mobile phones were used to hype up the companies they invest in, Ertian could not help but curse secretly. It was Wall Street who cut the leeks, and in the end it was Alcatel mobile phones that took the blame from users. This kind of thing If you do too much, you will be hated!
"Issue an announcement to the media, telling them that Alcatel's mobile phone production capacity can supply users' needs, and that it will increase production capacity to supply P4 starting next week..."
After saying a few words, Ertian shook his head, knowing that releasing these would probably be useless. This time, it was obvious that Wall Street colluded with those distributors and distributors to secretly pass the song.
Those dealers want to increase the price to sell phones and bluetooth headsets, and earn a difference, which can be regarded as a big profit, but the real earners are the Wall Street institutions. They have heavy positions in Alcatel mobile phone concept stocks in advance. They sell more P4 machines than Alcatel!
Ertian even thought that the two sides might cooperate with each other. Wall Street institutions lent money to those agents and dealers to buy the P4 inventory. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how those dealers could suddenly Take out so many beautiful knives to buy goods!
7 million machines, the value of the optical machine is more than 3.4 billion US dollars, plus Bluetooth headsets, touch pens and other things, the value of this batch of machines exceeds 4 billion US dollars.
Distributors definitely can't make real money, take out so much cash, but they only need to stock up on one-third of the stock, and it is enough to create a shortage in the market. Those institutions on Wall Street are secretly borrowing money For dealers, create out-of-stock phenomenon, take advantage of the trend to increase the stock price of P4 concept stocks, and then cut the leeks. With this set of coordination, it is simply smooth and smooth to cut the leeks!
"From now on, Alcatel mobile phones will be settled in cash with dealers and agents!"
Ertian explained that he would definitely not allow it. The dealer transferred the risk to the Alcatel mobile phone. He stocked up so many goods and couldn’t sell them. He dropped them in his hand and returned them to the Alcatel mobile phone. ? !
How can there be such a good thing, now Ertian wants dealers who want to buy Alcatel mobile phones to settle in cash, after all, "Small business, no credit!"
Looking at the vice president of the finance department who was standing in front of him and hadn't left yet, Ertian knew what he was waiting for.
"Director Bruno went to New York. After Song returns to San Jose and signs, all P4 bonuses will be distributed!"
Hearing this, the vice president of the finance department was obviously relieved. Every time a flagship phone is released, Alcatel mobile phones will give out huge bonuses. This has become a tradition, and it also attracts countless top engineers and executives from all walks of life. For the sake of mobile phones, Alcatel mobile phones are really rewarding with huge US dollars.
In the past few years, many big names in the mobile phone industry have switched to Alcatel mobile phones. It is because of the salary that it is obviously higher than that of Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc. People go to high places. Flowing down, who would have trouble with Meidao!
Eltian looked at the rewards issued, including options and cash rewards. Alcatel mobile phones have not yet been launched, but that will happen sooner or later. For Alcatel mobile phone executives, this is what they care about most.
As for ordinary employees and engineers, the most important thing is, of course, the bonus. No one can say when the options can be cashed out. Just like the Internet companies in Silicon Valley before, many of them issued option rewards. In the end, There is not even a single hair left, so it is safest to get a beautiful knife!
