Chapter 599: X Super TV II
The retail price of the 55-inch X super TV market is only 5999 yuan, and the simplified version of the X super TV set-top box is only priced at a .
On top of this price, you will also receive a consumption voucher!
All of a sudden, the audience present was in an uproar, as long as you know a little about the market retail price and market price of TV, you know that this is the price should be a loss-making price. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many manufacturers have a certain profit to make between the ex-factory price and the production cost, but it is still a loss. After all, do you need money for R&D, do you want money for publicity, do you want money to give profits or even rebates to channels? Installation and maintenance system, do you want money?
These are all relatively low costs that require a lot of expenses, especially the relatively low prices that can only be maintained by relatively cheap Chinese labor costs.
For example, there are many countries where air conditioners are several times more expensive than in China, and televisions are one or two times more expensive than in China. This is not necessarily that production is really expensive, mainly labor costs, door-to-door service, installation and maintenance are generally very expensive!
As far as the most dangerous air conditioning installation is concerned, the cost of air conditioning installation in China is very cheap. Many installation masters are even suspended in high-rise buildings, tied with ropes for installation, the degree of danger is very high, and the labor is also very hard. But this fee is very cheap in China.
In overseas developed markets, the cost of air conditioning installation is often more expensive than the price of air conditioning. A door-to-door installation of an air conditioner costs $2,300 for installation. Broken home repairs are still a few hundred dollars in service costs.
Chinese electrical appliances can be sold very cheaply, some are in after-sales service to save money, to users very general after-sales service, even no after-sales service, if there is a problem, you can find a master who knows how to repair it.
Of course, there are installation and maintenance costs in China, but they are often relatively low. Some are inexpensive because of the asymmetry in the cost of services at home and abroad.
But even many of China's household appliances are only half of their world peers. However, the TV set withdrawn by the partner company is actually cheaper than that of its Chinese counterparts!
Although, it can't be a chip with x86 architecture. It's ARM chips. Compared with the x86 chip, the arm chip can be described as cheap and beautiful, compared to the low-grade chip for a few dollars a little, the chip used in the mobile phone is slightly better. But it is generally only a few dozen dollars per chip, and at most a few hundred dollars. There is no manufacturer that will equip mobile phones with chips that cost thousands of dollars.
The price of x86 chips used on the PC platform is relatively expensive, and the cheap ones are hundreds of dollars. The mainstream configuration is a few hundred yuan, and the price of a high-end configuration chip is several thousand yuan.
Of course, the current x86 chips are gradually becoming invalid due to Moore's Law. Technological progress is getting slower and slower, and it has become more and more difficult to tap the potential on single-core chips. As a result, chip manufacturers such as Intel and AMD continue to hype dual-core, quad-core and even eight-core chips.
It seems that the more cores there are, the more performance the cost increases, but in fact, this is not necessarily the case, although more chips are used, but the efficiency is decreasing. Dual-core and quad-core chips can improve the efficiency by three or four percent compared with single-core chips, and it is impossible to achieve double, four, and eight times the performance increase.
Of course, the concept of better performance with more chips has also been hyped. So much so that the chips in the ARM camp have also begun to engage in multi-core. On the one hand, although the cost performance of ARM chips is high, in the face of more and more complex applications, it is also necessary to increase the number of chips to improve performance and enhance user experience. In addition, the ARM chip is cheaper, and the same dual-core and quad-core are not enjoyable, and the partner company is on the TV terminal. Directly on the 10-core chip.
Chips are becoming more and more powerful, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at least white users go to buy goods. Smart TVs of the same price and size, one is 4 cores. One is 10 cores, and most users will most likely choose 10 cores!
The audience at the scene gasped one after another,Let's not say,Not to mention the advanced technology of X super TV,Using a bunch of hardware such as memory,Just listening to the 10-core CPU has made the audience tremble with excitement。
Of course. Such a high configuration, such a low price, it is almost unbelievable!
"The price of X super TV is so low, is there a problem with quality or after-sales service?" A guest asked.
"We are very strict about the hardware procurement and production process. In terms of quality, it can achieve the same standard as international brands. As for the service, our service attitude will be very good, firstly, the minimum warranty period is three years. Second, if there is a quality problem within a year, we can only replace it without repairing it, that is, we can replace it with a new one for you. Third, in terms of service, we adopt a combination of online service and offline service, and come to the door within 72 hours to solve the problem within 24 hours to ensure that users can watch TV on the same day. Fourth, online customer service can be teased, and any question can be asked. Wang Qinian said, "Experience, performance, price and service, we all have to do our best!" ”
"Is it that X Super TV can only watch your programs after I buy it back?" One viewer voiced his confusion.
"No, first of all it's a TV set, and you can treat it as if it were a regular TV set. The TV box with the radio and television system is installed, and it can watch the programs inside the radio and television box. Install the box provided by the telecom company to watch the telecom box program. Of course, you can watch the built-in programs of the system without installing the box. Wang Qinian said, "Besides, the TV system is an OTT open system, and we have opened the R&D port so that more content manufacturers can make their own applications." Users choose to install the app themselves, isn't it better than before when all the content was provided by TV and telecom operators, and there is no better choice?! ”
"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, does X Super TV have a smaller size?" A live audience member asked.
"Yes, we are currently focusing on the 55-inch version. But at the same time, there are also 43-inch, 32-inch, 24-inch versions. These are also cheap, however, the value for money may not be as good as the 55-inch. The chip is the same as the rest of the hardware. However, in terms of screen area, 55 inches is the most affordable purchase price, so we chose 55 inches as the current main screen size, and at the same time, taking into account the different needs of users, we launched a version of the size. Among them, the 43-inch should be 4399 yuan, the retail price of the 32-inch is 3299 yuan, and the market price of the 24-inch is 1999 yuan. Wang Qinian apologized and said, "Of course, the function of other hardware is the same, but the size is different." ”
"Mr. Wang,Can X super TV be used as a computer,I mean external keyboard and mouse。
"No problem, with an external mouse and keyboard, it's okay. However, it is not a system computer. Most mainstream websites are compatible, but some software on PCs may not be compatible. Users need to install the TV version to run. Of course, if you log in to QQ, TT and other chat software, swipe Weibo, read books at the starting point, go to Bilibili, Youku and other webpages to watch videos, it's all okay, these big manufacturers have launched TV version of the application software. We are compatible with many mainstream web pages, but some niche websites may not be compatible! Wang Qinian smiled and said, "After all, it is a TV, not a computer, and it has some of the functions of a PC, but it is not a PC." ”
"Is the partner company ready to launch a PC in the future?" ’
"Maybe!"
The launch event was a great success, with more than 1,000 X Super TVs and more than 3,000 X Super Box orders on the spot.
At the same time, on the Internet, the X Super TV and X Super Box were released on the first day, but they spread quickly through the speed of light on the Internet, attracting tens of thousands of orders.
This result is naturally much faster than the sales of mobile phones, but it is a television set. The TV sales market is not very large, and the sales of TVs in the Chinese market are more than 40 million units a year. The annual sales of TV sets in the world are only 200 million units.
In the past, many TV users were not on the Internet, but now there is an opportunity for TV viewers who did not use the Internet in the past to experience the Internet.
Just like mobile phones, many users who did not use the Internet in the past have expanded to many users who did not use the Internet in the past, and after using smartphones that can access the Internet, many users who did not use PCs to access the Internet before have also begun to use smartphones to access the Internet. The popularity of smart phones has not only changed the pattern of the mobile phone industry, but also changed the pattern of the Internet industry. Internet players who do not seize the mobile phone market will gradually be marginalized.
Now it's the turn of the TV!
Selling ordinary TVs is not the purpose of the partner company, the purpose is to sell Internet TVs that can access the Internet.
In this way, users can log in to video sites, experience social networking sites, and even online games and online education apps in the living room.
In this way, it is equivalent to expanding the territory of the Internet to the living room. (To be continued.) )
