Then, the middleman found that there are far more customers who want to buy low-cost mobile phones than those who intend to buy contracts at low prices, which forms a scissors gap, resulting in cheaper and cheaper contract prices, more and more expensive mobile phones, and the market will be chaotic.
Therefore, many people in the communication company found the business opportunities. These people colluded up and down and ordered a large number of contract machines for phone5. As a result, they did not sign a contract and sold them at the price of 15000, making a net profit of 1000 yuan per mobile phone.
The 15000 mobile phones were sold by e-commerce at the price of 16000, and they also made a net profit of 1000 yuan. Then there were many contract machines in the market that did not need a contract.
As a result, a stable market has been formed, and a large number of contract machines mphone5 are sold on Taobao.
The magic thing is that he has firmly controlled the thousands of Taobao and doesn't seem to find these problems. Regardless of this, 16000 mphone5 is rampant in the market. A large number of users buy mphone5 through Taobao, which greatly affects the sales of genuine BOC's mphone5.
Of course, if you count the whole sales volume, you will find that since the contract machine was sold online at a low price, the sales volume of Daqian's latest mobile phone has more than doubled or more than twice as much as before, which can explain why Daqian pretended not to know anything.
"Can these contract machines be used in the United States?" after understanding these situations, musk found that he could not complain about Daqian for this reason. After all, Daqian was also a victim, but Daqian didn't seem to know these situations.
So musk immediately began to investigate the problem.
Fortunately, musk was lucky because he found that when he entered some Chinese community websites in the United States, he found that there were tutorials on how to transform the mphone5 contract machine into a mobile phone that can be used in the United States in these Chinese forums.
The whole process is actually very simple, that is, after pasting a card on it, cheating the automatic identification system of the mobile phone, and identifying the SIM phone card in the United States as the change of the corresponding operator, it can be used.
These tutorials were originally designed to facilitate students studying in the United States to continue to use their contract machines, but Musk's eyes were red, because he found that no one in the United States knew the so-called Chinese contract machines, let alone that the prices of these Chinese contract machines were very cheap.
Just do it when you think about it. Musk got his passport and visa to go to China very early, so he went to China directly by plane for the first time. He bought a contract machine mphone5 locally and confirmed it after a series of verification. Indeed, just like the tutorial said, with a special card, he can disguise the American phone card as a Chinese phone, Then enjoy the use, and other functions will not be affected by any loss.
What makes musk even more excited is that there are still a large number of contract machines mphone5 on sale at this time. After all, not many people know how to shop on Taobao these days. Most mobile phone users still choose to buy in physical stores, leaving a lot of space for contract machines.
Without saying a word, musk launched all his relationships, tried every means to borrow $5 million, then converted all the $5 million into RMB, and then bought 2000 mphone5 contract machines.
However, how to bring these contract machines back to the United States is very difficult, but musk also has his own way, that is, through the postal system.
At this time, the postal system in the United States is still very loose. A mobile phone only needs to be sent in the name of a gift to your family, so it will not be made difficult and will be released directly.
Even in case of inspection, the customs duty of the postal service is very low. Basically, it only needs to pay about one or two hundred dollars, which can be sent to a specific address through the customs reasonably and legally.
The whole process was completely legal without any violation of the law, so musk immediately began to implement his plan without hesitation. When all the 2000 mobile phones were sent to one address, musk knew that he had succeeded.
In addition, musk also made a major discovery, that is, because Hong Kong and Hong Kong enjoy the free trade agreement signed with the United States, and Hong Kong and Hong Kong also enjoy tax-free policies at home, the price of mphone5 is also very cheap. You can buy it at about 18000, and then send it directly to the United States without paying a tax.
Although the price of the mphone5 will be more expensive, the way to the port is safer and more convenient, and the speed is fast. It can even fill a container directly.
Although the price will be more expensive, it is more legitimate, even completely legal. The laws of the two countries can't take musk for granted.
However, all the mphone5s in Xiagang have been sold out. There is no possibility of the channel in Hong Kong. Musk can only guard his 2000 mphone5s with fear. After his subordinates reported that they had passed the border port successfully, he was relieved and immediately returned to the United States to start selling in China.
So the next day, a large number of mphone5 were sold on many flea websites.
Originally, the world's largest flea website was Amazon, but it was impossible for Amazon to harm Daqian's own interests, so musk put it on many other flea websites for sale.
However, this time musk did not have such a black heart as the price of $3499, but a normal price of $3299. He then stated that this is the "China contract version" of the mphone5 device, which can be used normally. He only needs to add a card to his sim.
As long as you buy his mphone5, you can get a free mphone5 card. At the same time, his store is responsible for technical guidance in the whole process.
So, in less than three days, Musk's mphone5 was sold out, with a total of 2000 mobile phones and a profit of more than $800000.
Musk finally made a lot of money, and this is not a one hammer deal. As long as the contract machine of China is still there, the Chinese contract version of mphone5 can continuously enter the American market for sales. This is a real long-term deal for musk!
But the fact made musk feel a little uncomfortable.
In September, the second batch of 2 million iphone5 began to be sold all over the world, and few people could accept the price of $2999, even in the United States.
Therefore, the second batch of mphone5 is not as popular as the first batch. Although it is still sold out in three days, it is mainly due to the intervention of a large number of scalpers, resulting in an artificially tense situation.
However, the yellow cattle did not dare to sell for $3499, but reduced the price to $3299.
On the other hand, Musk's contract machine was also reduced to $2999, so his machine profit was very low.
What makes musk even more depressed is that he doesn't know who reported him, so some people came to check him. Thanks to the normal tax payment of these mobile phones, musk can pass the thrill.
However, with such an investigation, Musk's mobile phone supply was also clearly checked. Soon musk found that many people began to do the same business as themselves. A large number of contract machines of mphone5 were purchased in China, so that all contract machines at the original price on Taobao were sold out, and Musk's supply was greatly affected for a while, At the same time, many scalpers also reduced the price to $2999.
Obviously, Musk's business was damaged by these scalpers.
