Chapter 748 Is 1999 Really That Good?
As they discussed this, Lin Bin's heart was bleeding. After all, because of the failure of Da Mi, many of their former partners were only superficially involved with Da Mi Xuan Tie Company.
So although they talked about investing money to get on board, when it came time to actually pay, they only received 10% of the shares...
So, just as they guessed, Xuan Tie Company wasn't incompetent in its publicity staff; it was simply out of money!
So all of their hearts were pinned on the press conference.
…………
At the same time, Lei Jun felt a surge of fighting spirit as he watched the press conference.
Due to budget constraints, this press conference was held in the technology exhibition hall next to the Kyoto National Convention Center.
This is nothing compared to the press conference held at the National Convention Center.
Only 300 people were invited to the event, but fortunately, Mi Fans were very supportive, and the number of people who made reservations for the online live stream has exceeded 300 million.
Time quickly reached 7:30 PM, and many Mi Fans excitedly opened the live stream. After all, today was April Fool's Day, and it wouldn't be good if it were real.
Fortunately, the camera in the live stream was already pointed at the big screen, which showed a silver-gray laptop.
As can be seen from its appearance, it has an all-metal body with rounded edges, and a "玄" character in running script is engraved in the center of the A-side.
On stage, Lei Jun has already begun his performance for the day.
"Dear Mi Fans, welcome to this press conference."
Speaking of Xuantie Company, I have to mention what happened two years ago when I was making mobile phones.
Back then, I was young and impetuous, and then I got beaten up by Transsion and couldn't find my way out. Later I realized that when making products, you can't just focus on the parameters; you have to have your own unique features. The same applies to making computers.
This is the main reason why the XuanTie laptop has been delayed multiple times; everything we do is for the experience of Mi Fans.
He trailed off, unable to finish his sentence, since the current DaMi XuanTie was not part of the DaMi Company...
In an attempt to fix the situation, he quickly pressed a button on the remote control, and the core configuration appeared on the screen.
The U1 features a CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, a 14-inch 1080p screen, an all-metal body, and weighs only 1.5 kg…
Next, Lei Jun began to introduce these details one by one. The Taishan U1 CPU is clearly a low-end series, but Lei Jun insisted on calling it a mid-to-high-end series.
Many passersby were instantly drawn in by Lei Jun's introduction...
It does seem a bit more ethical than the one next door.
However, other staff members backstage have already started complaining.
After all, the peak number of concurrent viewers was only 80, and the cumulative number of viewers was only a little over 100 million...
Moreover, this was a press conference personally hosted by Lei Jun, so it seems the effect was indeed mediocre.
Just when they were worried, Lei Jun mentioned the delay again on stage, saying that they were polishing the system and at the same time porting over some of the fun features of MIUI.
But this only drew their complaints.
After all, outsiders may not know the reasons for the delay, but they certainly do.
First, due to cost reasons, the allocation was adjusted multiple times, and the final version of the plan was completely unusable.
Lei Jun originally planned to do it this way, using the low-end configuration to highlight the cost-effectiveness of the high-end configuration, but Lenovo countered.
After several meetings and discussions, it was decided that the low-spec configuration was simply a waste of Lenovo's resources, so the configuration was changed once again.
"We're doomed! We haven't even reached a million yet. Are we really going to lose our jobs?"
"If I had known, I would have stayed with Transsion... at least the year-end bonus would have been very generous."
"Brother, there's no going back. As long as we persevere, it'll be a great contribution to the rise of Lei... Once he rises to power..."
"You think it's possible."
Although the staff members were talking very quietly, it still caught Lin Bin's attention. After all, this was the backstage area of the press conference, and if something went wrong, it would be a disaster.
"Everyone will receive a reward after this press conference. Don't worry, Mr. Lei and I will not forget you."
Although the person who said this was very assertive, no one present took it seriously, after all, they had eaten plenty of pancakes like this.
"I know everyone is eagerly awaiting the final price of this laptop."
However, I still want to tell you about the mission of DaMiXuanTie Company.
That means eliminating all generic molds so that people in the 2000 yuan price range can also enjoy high-end designs.
Let everyone know that only the configuration affects the price of a product, and the appearance is the cheapest premium item!
Just like our XuanTie D14 Book, this design would cost at least 4,000 yuan to a competitor, but today we're charging cost price!
Okay, you can guess the final price. If you guess correctly, we'll give away a few units right here.
"1999?"
Many fans in the audience started to tentatively shout out, after all, there had been a lot of rumors circulating before, so they thought the price shouldn't go up, right?
Looking at the neat rows of 1999 and the occasional 2009, Lei Jun looked troubled.
"It seems that everyone here is a true rice fan and knows our pricing strategy very well."
well……"
At this point, Lei Jun sighed again, pretending to be in a difficult position.
"I know everyone is looking forward to 1999, but now CPUs, memory sticks, large-size displays, especially the 1080p displays we use, are all going up in price."
Moreover, just before the press conference, the price of display panels went up again, with each panel increasing by 100 yuan compared to when we finalized the design...
This pressure…
Lei Jun pretended to be in a very difficult position, and at this point, many Mi Fans had already been drawn into his emotions.
"The rice industry is here to drive down computer configurations, but it can't stop making money! If I burn through all this money, then the rice industry will die, and the whole ecosystem will go back to the mess it was before."
"Mr. Lei, if the supply chain raises prices, you'll raise prices too... After all, isn't that what you originally intended?"
"support!"
Just when everyone thought 1999 was impossible, Lei Jun suddenly stomped his foot on stage.
"I know 1999 will be difficult, but the promises I, Lei Jun, made, must be kept!"
Therefore, the price of the D14 Book laptop starts at 1999 yuan!
A stunning number, 1999, appeared on the big screen, taking up half the screen.
At the same time, several other configurations also appeared on the big screen: the 4+128G version is priced at 2099 yuan.
4+256G version: 2499.
4+512G version: 2799.
Just as all the passersby were celebrating that the laptop had finally been knocked down, Lazy Sheep's assistant noticed a detail.
That's the small print following 1999.
This gave him an instant guess: it seemed that even if Lei started another business, he couldn't change those little habits.
Based on his understanding of rice, he knew these small characters must be very illegible!
However, he's a professional when it comes to queuing; no matter what methods they use, he can figure them out.
Sure enough, after zooming in on the screen several times, he discovered that the small print read: "That means the 1999 version is the 2+128G version."
The staff also patiently reminded customers that the memory was too small and they did not recommend purchasing it.
After carefully examining the specifications, he realized that not only was the small cup not worth buying, but even the medium cup wasn't worth buying...
However, compared to Lenovo, the large and extra-large cups can only be described as weaklings.
It seems that even after making computers, Mr. Lei is still not honest.
