Chapter 224: Keeping Promises
Lei Jun said with a smile, "At least a ninety-five percent success rate, you can rest assured, but for those whose fingerprints themselves are not very good, ......."
"I understand." Some people are born with relatively thin fingerprints, or because of work, fingerprints are easy to wear, for this type of people, the function of fingerprint recognition is really a bit chicken, but for normal people, there is no problem.
And people who can do the work of wearing fingerprints will generally not buy the current Xiaomi......
Not because of anything else, it's purely expensive!
The previous successful entry into the market of the MLOS system, the exaggerated sales volume also made Lin Chengzai and Lei Jun eat a reassurance, full of confidence in MLOS, now the grassroots level of the system has been basically completed, the resource integration stage has also passed, there is no shortage of program apes for MLOS development programs.
Just like Cook inherited IOS, what Lin Chengjae and Lei Jun have to do now is only to improve the functions of the system on this basis, the most difficult stage has completely passed, MLOS, in fact, is another faster and more stable mobile phone system!
No matter how long it takes, there will be no stuck, the smoothness of the mobile phone has little to do with the use time, the system will intelligently deal with the background program, which is judged to be unnecessary programs, all will be cleaned up, at this point, do it more simply than IOS!
So this time, the pricing of Xiaomi 4S is directly aimed at the iPhone5, which will be launched in September, and the price is only high!
Because the last Xiaomi Mi 4 has surpassed the iPhone4S and the Samsung S3 launched not long ago, the user experience is almost perfect, and the superiority of the system is really very important.
"That's okay, Uncle Lei, I'm still more at ease with your work, but you must be strict in terms of quality, so don't have any problems."
"Already as you asked. Let Foxconn check at all levels, this standard is more exaggerated than Apple, really, you can rest assured. Lei Jun has a new insight into Lin Chengzai's high standards, Xiaomi has always taken the cost-effective route, but after Lin Chengzai joined. Directly embarked on the road to the high.
And looking at the current momentum, Lim Seung-jae is the kind who plans to go all the way to the black!
However, it seems that Lim Seung-jae's strategy seems to be more successful than Lei Jun's cost-effective route, and both the company's revenue and fame are no longer the same. A successful product can make the company directly to the top, and Lim Seung-jae has proved that this can be done.
"Haha, Seungjae. Why don't we bet on the sales of the first week? ”
"Betting on sales? OK, how much to bet? ”
"Billion."
Lei Jun is also wealthy now, although most of Xiaomi's shares belong to Lin Chengzai, but he is also the second largest individual shareholder, and the dividends at the end of this year are not a lot at all, one billion, for him. It's not a bone-breaker.
Lim Seung-jae chuckled and said, "Uncle Lei." You're trying to capitalize on the billion-dollar hype. ”
"You can say that, but if I lose, I will fulfill my promise, and anyway, this money is also earned by you with me, to you. I don't feel distressed, not to mention, I still have a 50% chance. ”
"I don't care, then Uncle Lei, you can arrange it, this press conference. I'll still be on time. ”
Lei Jun is almost making money now, "But what do you think of the plan I told you before?" I think the cost-effective route can still be followed, and the profit is also very considerable. ”
"No, I'm not completely against this, but taking the cost-effective route, it must not be confused with the Xiaomi brand, we must completely separate it."
Lei Jun smiled mysteriously, "So at this press conference, I will completely replace the Logo together, and build Xiaomi into a new high-end mobile phone brand, and then establish another subsidiary, specializing in the cost-effective route, what do you think of this plan?" Not feasible. ”
"Of course it is feasible, Xiaomi's previous success is a good proof of this, but Uncle Lei, you may be a little tired."
"I don't care, I'm used to it, in fact, now that the company is stable, there are not many things that really want me to be busy, and I'm really going to be idle, but I'm not used to it."
Anyway, it's not himself who is busy, Lin Chengjae doesn't care, "Since it's decided like this, Uncle Lei, have you decided on the name of this sub-brand?" ”
"I don't know, why don't you give one."
"Hmm...... In this case, since Uncle Lei said that Xiaomi is going to redesign the Logo and appearance, then this sub-brand might as well be called Redmi, how about it? I feel like the name should be broad. ”
"Redmi? That's right, then Redmi, I'll have someone design a new Logo for Redmi, the system also uses MLOS, but in terms of hardware, it won't be as extreme as your current requirements. ”
Since we want to do the cost-effective route, we must not be able to take into account both performance and price, which is the biggest contradiction in itself.
In the case of reduced prices, the requirements for mobile phone components will never meet the highest standards, no matter how to compress the cost of the lower suppliers, it is meaningless, when you suppress the supplier's profits to the minimum, then the quality of the products provided by the supplier will be reduced to varying degrees.
This is an inevitable trend, after all, suppliers also want to make money.
Cheap is not good, this principle is applicable everywhere, just like now, Xiaomi uses the HiSilicon Kirin series CPU is like this, the research and development cost is not a joke, if you want to put on the highest-end HiSilicon CPU on the low-end machine, then there will only be one possibility.
Losing money and making money is of little practical significance.
"By the way, also, you can bring your Apink with you by the way, because the publicity effect was very good last time."
"OK, I see." Apink is also a normal thing in the eyes of Lim Seung-jae, Apink is impeccable in terms of appearance and strength, but at present, their development in South Korea is not too smooth, and there is still a lack of a divine comedy that can make them completely embark on a first-class girl group.
And this divine comedy, Lin Chengjae has already prepared it for them.
"I said, OPPA, you've been really busy lately, and the phone hasn't stopped since I thought about it, and it's really hard to wait for you to be free." Jin Xuexuan suddenly came out of nowhere, "I said I was going to help us move today." ”
Lin Chengzai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You really think I'm an idler, I'm busy." ”
"I know that OPPA is amazing, our room has been cleaned, do you want to go and have a look together?" Jin Xuexuan's tone was full of excitement, you must know that the place where they lived before was indeed similar to SZ's urban village, and although the environment was not dirty and messy, it was also very crowded.
Now that AOA has become famous, they are starting to become famous and start making money, so FNC has also decided to let them live in a better place.
What Lin Seungjae promised them at the beginning can finally be realized, "Okay, wait for me." ”
casually left his mobile phone at home, and then Lin Seungjae went out, and the dormitory arranged for AOA was not far from Lin Seungjae's house, on this floor of this building, and it was still a neighbor with Lin Seungjae.
AOA's house actually belongs to Lin Seungjae, and it was bought with his own money.
Originally, Lim Seung-jae was going to buy it for his uncle's family, but the family has been abroad and has not returned, and they have only recently been contacted, but now Lim Seung-jae's uncle's family has moved to a new home, so he bought it purely to fulfill the promise he made to AOA.
Of course, this is something that the AOA is only not aware of.
Lin Chengjae's current growth rate of money is no longer comparable to what he used to be, and several companies under him, whether it is Alibaba, Xiaomi, or several other companies, have increased in value very fast, so that since last year, his wealth has ushered in a blowout period.
