Chapter 47: New Product Launch (6)

(Ps: Add a new chapter~~~ Shi Pan wants to have an interesting PY trade with the previous one, can he top it? Everyone is reluctant to make a move. I am afraid there is some dirty PY trade behind this, what? The transaction has started? It seems that the transaction is completed!! Hehe! Not much to say, the new chapter will be released first, full of sincerity~~~)

How much does it cost? Now the barrages on major video sites are all looking forward to the same question and talking about the same topic.

"You said, what will the price of the 'S-1' be?"

"It must be very expensive. I can only watch it from a distance when I wait for the brick-moving party. I will cry too much!"

"It should be more expensive than an iPhone! Otherwise, what's the point of the live broadcast!"

"Will it exceed 50,000? I think it is very cheap if it exceeds it, and there are also many people who buy it. There are really not many people who don't like 'S-1' after seeing it!"

"Brother Ren~ Oh, hurry up and announce the price! We will see the parameters ourselves, hurry up, stop torturing us, sweat~~!"

Finally, Ren Hong said something that everyone was looking forward to.

"About the price of 'S-1'." Ren Hong's voice surrounded the entire conference hall, "The official unified price of the wearable smart device 'S-1' is... $1199!"

"How can it be so cheap? The 128GB version of the iPhone 7S-plus costs $1,099, how can the 'S-1' be so cheap?" a foreign reporter said to himself in disbelief, how could such a device cost so much Low?

There was a burst of exclamations in the audience, followed by warm applause, $1,199 is not a low figure, this figure is $100 higher than the iPhone7S-plus price, but it is such a similar price, " "S-1" is a complete explosion of Apple. Compared with the iPhone, the "S-1" wearable smart device is definitely cheap.

Obviously, it is foreseeable that when Ren Hong announced the price of the "S-1", users were undoubtedly the most excited, especially the original iPhone users. Although they claimed to be fruit fans, the price of both products was around $1,000. , the iPhone on the left and the S-1 on the right.

I'm afraid not many people will put their money to the left, which is a question that can be completely thought about with their heels.

The users were excited, they had no idea that the "S-1" would be so cheap! In fact, this price is not cheap, and it is already included in the ranks of high-end consumer electronics. However, after comparing with the iPhone, users feel that the "S-1" is really too cheap. The configuration and experience of the iPhone 10 Streets are almost finished, and Xiaoyou, who has finished breaking the Sisr 100,000 miles, is only $100 higher than the iPhone price. This is not cheap! It's ridiculously cheap!

Many people think that the "S-1" is at least more than 2,000 US dollars, but they only need 1,199 US dollars, or 7,755 yuan.

Several companies are happy and some are sad. When users around the world are exclaiming and cheering for this price, other mobile phone manufacturers are covered with dark clouds. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OPPO have no sense of imminent disaster, and they don’t even have much to do with them. relation. The reason is obvious. The market they are targeting is the low-end market, and the high-end market has always been dominated by foreign brands such as iPhone and LG. This time, the wearable smart devices launched by XlouS are also aimed at the high-end market.

"What I'm most curious about now is what kind of expression Cook looks like! The Chinese business and technology circles have created an amazing young man." Rebs, who was watching the video of the press conference at home, said with a schadenfreude.

At this moment, the blind can see that XlouS is carrying the wearable smart device "S-1\

,"This is to compete directly with Apple's iPhone lineup for high-end market share. Anyone can see that the price of $1,199 is the rhythm that makes the "S-1" just face to face with the iPhone!

From 2007 to the present, is there finally a company and a product that can compete with the iPhone in the high-end market?

"see it?"

There was a voice from the phone in Cook's hand. After a long time, his voice rang in the office, "Prepare to hold a memory the next day!" After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, couldn't help but took off his glasses and covered his face with his hands.

Why reject the enemy?

$1199! This is tantamount to declaring war on Apple! But in the face of such a revolutionary product, how can it stand out from the cutthroat competition?

Unless the new generation of iPhone is also a revolutionary innovation, and is superior to its opponents!

But when he thought of the performance and configuration of the iPhone 8S flagship version compared with the "S-1", even he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Cook couldn't help but turn his attention to the live video, looking at the young man who always had a peaceful smile, confident and calm. He seemed to see the shadow of Jobs from the young man. When Jobs stood at the press conference, the same Like this young man, confident and calm...

"How could such a person appear in China?" Cook muttered.

On the other hand, far away in the Eastern Hemisphere, the XlouS announcement conference site has entered the reporter's question-and-answer session.

"Hello, Mr. Ren! Will your company's new product 'S-1' directly compete with Apple's iPhone?"

"My friend from foreign journalists, I need to emphasize that the Chinese people's thinking is different from that of Europe and the United States. We will not deliberately look for competitors. I believe that every product has its own value and its corresponding position, and I Just need to find its place and value! So, no!"

"Hello! Mr. Ren, will your company establish an offline direct distribution channel for 'S-1' worldwide?"

"The company has cooperated with many world logistics companies, and will not set up any offline stores and sales channels. Consumers get orders on the company's official sales website. At that time, the professional courier will deliver to the door in person, while the only one online The directly-operated store is at the headquarters, and it will open to the public at 10:00 tomorrow and start selling this product!”

However, just as the press conference was about to end, Ren Hong suddenly said: "There is a piece of news that I am going to announce at the end, and now is the time." He seemed to be trying to brew his emotions for a moment, and finally said: "We still thought about it. The problem of mid-tier consumers, we also want to provide products and services to these users...”

When it came to this, "Rebs" and other bigwigs were not calm on the spot, and immediately stared at the live broadcast, even here? Do you know how many mobile phone manufacturers this will kill? A lot of people will starve to death! ! !

And Ren Hong continued: "To this end, the company will launch a special version of the intelligent voice assistant 'Xiaoyou' for this group. On May 25, the XlouS official website will open the download section of the Android version of the intelligent voice assistant Xiaoyou."

"Xiaoyou, which can launch the Android version, thanks to the open source of its operating system, makes the Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant born, which is the only service we can provide for mid-end consumers, but the Android version of Xiaoyou is the only service that we can provide. You only support version 8.0 and above."

"With the Android version of Xiaoyou, the 2,000 yuan mobile phone will also completely bid farewell to the era of manual control and become a member of the voice-activated club."

"The Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant will be a paid application, which also belongs to the monthly charging system. The official unified price is $5 a month. Tomorrow's official website will provide a download section!"

The last message is nothing short of an unexpected surprise for Android phone users around the world. After seeing the powerful functions of Xiaoyou, I suddenly found that Microsoft Cortana, Xiaobing and Sisr are so mentally retarded that it is outrageous.

Obviously, for users who can't afford the "S-1", this is undoubtedly the luckiest of misfortunes. Although it is a paid software, it only takes $5 a month to make a cold machine full of life, and few people will be stingy with this money.

For $5, you can turn your phone from hand control to voice control.

Android users rejoiced, but fruit fans around the world were unhappy when they saw the news. Why didn't the iOS version be announced? What about iOS? Ren Hong, have you forgotten? When will the download section for iOS be announced?

No iOS? Can this be tolerated?

Just when Ren Hong announced the news, there were many posts on the XlouS official website forum requesting the launch of the iOS version.

Only a mobile phone with Xiaoyou assistant installed is a real smart device. An iPhone of $899 is not as smart as a $200 Android phone, which is absolutely unbearable. What are you kidding?

"Shameless Chinese!" Cook couldn't help but scolded on the spot when he saw the last news. Just in front, what did he say when facing reporters? Won't! But what about now? Cook found that he underestimated this young Chinese. He had already started to sell the iPhone before the product was released. What a filth!

Obviously, Ren Hong's hand made the iPhone miserable, and Cook would not believe the absurd remark that the iOS version could not be launched for any reason of open source. There is an Android version, and the XlouS flagship version has no iOS version. This Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone.

Originally, the performance of "S-1" led the industry, and its price was the same as that of the iPhone. With the help of Xiaoyou's front and rear, the iPhone was almost powerless.

Just think about it, you can buy a better "S-1" for only $100 more, and when you buy an iPhone that costs $800 or even $1000, it's not as smart and smart as a $200 Android machine. Convenience, how does this balance the minds of iPhone users?

It is conceivable that this iPhone user would even be disgusted by this, would be ridiculed by his friends for being brain-dead, and would be able to spend money on an iPhone 7S-plus or even be reluctant to spend an extra $100 on an "S-1".

Even being mocked by some Android party and showing off the voice-activated features in front of you with a $200 item, you can't argue with that.

Ren Hongkai Xiaoyou assistant not only attacked the iPhone, but more importantly, there are also huge business opportunities here. 70% of the world's smartphone users are from Android users, which is undoubtedly a huge treasury. % is an inestimable astronomical wealth.

And the Android version of Xiaoyou is actually just a castrated version of the XlouS version of Xiaoyou. The most important and excellent security and privacy protection functions cannot be enjoyed on Android Xiaoyou. But even so, the Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant is extremely powerful, and voice control can replace almost all manual operations.

The most important thing is that this is the latest X artifact that is more powerful than the iPhone!

Obviously, when people are accustomed to the high-quality experience and convenience brought by voice control, it will be difficult to leave the app. At the same time, it can also subtly make these users pay attention to "S-1" and gradually become the potential consumption closest to "S-1" object.

It is definitely a decision to kill three birds with one stone, to obtain huge revenue, to block the iPhone, and to cultivate potential users for "S-1"!
