Chapter 225 Lay's poaching. Steve Jobs's probing.
"The first batch of users will find within a few months that the 128MB of memory is not enough to even run QQ."
We won't even need to lift a finger; our reputation will be ruined.
"Should we just wait and not retaliate?"
Liu Jiangfeng thought for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Should the release of Enjoy 2 be brought forward?"
"Not earlier?" Yu Dazui shook his head. "According to the original plan, it will be released in early December."
Let Redmi run wild for a month. Once they've had their fill, we'll roll out the K3v1 to the Enjoy 2, and then…”
Yu Dazui chuckled: "That's when the real bloodshed will begin."
…………
Back in his office, Liu Jiangfeng did not start working.
He was thinking about something important, something that wouldn't have much impact on the game, but was crucial to him.
He opened the compartment of the desk, inside which was a letter.
To be precise, it was an invitation letter for the position sent by Boss Jia.
The other party wanted to invite him to meet in person. Although it was called a meeting, everyone was an adult and knew what it was about.
After all, not long ago, Mr. Jia had just proposed the LeEco ecosystem plan.
Building the LeEco technology empire is a massive project.
The mobile phone terminal company is an important part of the business. According to his communication with the headhunter, if he is willing to go, he will be the head of the mobile phone business.
Now... this is a carefully considered choice.
After all, his ceiling at Huawei is already quite clear; being the head of Honor's business is his peak, and recently there has been a voice within the company saying that...
That is, Lao Yu was very dissatisfied with his work and wanted to transfer Zhao Ming to replace him.
He hesitated for a long time before finally dialing the number.
……
Meanwhile, Kyoto Rice Company.
Lei Jun also chose to work overtime in his office, looking at the 100 million yuan order on his computer, plus the 78 yuan pre-sale order.
My feelings are still very complicated.
Won?
No.
He knew that the Redmi's configuration after being downgraded was indeed meager. The specs were practically like a feature phone; it would lag quickly.
The first batch of users might curse him after receiving it.
But he had no choice.
Supply chain costs remain high, and reducing them to 749 is already the limit. If the original configuration is used, the cost would exceed 1000 yuan, resulting in a loss on every unit sold.
He was betting on...
Users may find the phone laggy after receiving it, but they will choose to tolerate it because it is cheap.
Then, when the supply chain prices drop and the Redmi 2 is released with improved specifications and the price remains the same, users will feel that the rice company is making progress and doing practical things for the people.
This is a long-term gamble.
But he doesn't have control over the supply chain, so he's unsure if he can survive until then.
unless……
Just as Lei Jun was thinking, the phone rang.
A call from the marketing department: "Mr. Lei, good news."
The first batch of 20 units has been successfully shipped, and the total number of orders has now exceeded 200 million.
Sure enough, there's always a way out. At that moment, Lin Bin knocked on the door and came in.
The moment he entered, his face was beaming with smiles, clearly indicating he had good news.
Lei Jun spoke a few words to the marketing department and then hung up the phone.
"Mr. Lei, good news."
MediaTek called to congratulate us. Zhang Song said, "If Redmi can sell 5 million units this week, the price of the MTK6574 can be reduced by 500%; if it doesn't reach that, it will be reduced by 3%. Consider it a congratulatory gesture."
Lei Jun closed his eyes. Sure enough, he was still the chosen one... Heaven would not let him down.
If we can sell 500 million units, the costs will decrease, and now there's an even bigger surprise.
Perhaps the first generation of Redmi can still turn a profit. Although it won't make much money per unit, making money is the best news.
When that time comes, Redmi will definitely cause bloodshed in the entire sub-100 yuan market.
The question is... will Mi Fans give him that opportunity?
"Quick! Why are you doing pre-orders? Everything is available for immediate sale."
"Sell as many as you can."
Lin Bin nodded in agreement, since they had given them a target, and that 5% was just a few dollars in cost.
…………
When Shen Fei received Cook's invitation, he was looking at Redmi's reports.
480 million units, in 6 days.
This number surprised him a bit. Although he didn't like the Redmi's specifications, Lei Jun's marketing skills and user insight were indeed impressive.
The price of 749 has once again broken through the psychological defenses of many people.
It seems like the Fantasy 2 series should release an SE version.
"Xiao Fei, Cook sent another email." Zhang Mingzhu sat next to him, opening an email with a somewhat hesitant expression.
Shen Fei picked up the tablet and glanced at it...
"Mr. Shen, Fruit attaches great importance to its relationship with Transmission. I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with you in person, at your convenience."
If you have the chance, I hope you can visit the fruit company next week.
Tim Cook?
Their attitude was very sincere, but the location they chose wasn't quite right.
American Fruit Headquarters.
That place is not a good place for Transsion's executives now.
After all... we've dug quite a lot, and of course we'll continue.
But Zhang Mingzhu stood beside him, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Xiaofei, I think there's a risk."
Cook has just taken over Fruit, and his position is still unstable. Inviting you over at this time definitely has an ulterior motive.
What if he intends to... use the emperor to command the feudal lords?
Shen Fei put down his tablet, smiled, and then gently pulled her into his arms.
"Silly girl? What are you afraid of?"
"I'm scared...I'm scared..." Zhang Mingzhu looked at Shen Fei shyly, then touched her stomach. "I'm just afraid you'll be detained by them."
After all, you told me that those people would do anything for profit.
As she said this, Zhang Mingzhu's gaze remained fixed on Shen Fei.
Shen Fei nodded as well, then rubbed her stomach.
Little Shen is ready.
Zhang Mingzhu suddenly felt unwell, so Shen Fei immediately took her to the hospital. The examination revealed she was perfectly healthy, except…
So they immediately told their families, and both Lao Zhang and Lao Shen dropped what they were doing and rushed to the hospital.
After all, this is the first seedling of the third generation.
……
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little too tense, Shen Fei patted her head again.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to America. They're begging us now."
When you ask someone for a favor, you should have that attitude.
You expect me to eagerly go to their place? No way.
If they really want to cooperate, it would have to be Cook coming here…
"Cook is here?" Zhang Mingzhu looked in Shen Fei's direction with a puzzled expression.
After all, she knew that Steve Jobs, the founder of Fruit Ninja, had never been to the Chinese market. How could this new successor possibly come to China to investigate as soon as he took office...
"Yes, definitely."
What do you think is the most scarce fruit right now?
"market?"
"The market is one aspect, but what they lack most right now is communication baseband."
Zhang Mingzhu suddenly realized something; she remembered a post on the internet.
"The iPhone 4 is really good; I was in the underground parking garage for half an hour, and my family thought I was lost..."
