Chapter 365: Xiao Mi's Redemption (1)
Li Jiansen has been able to work in Xunli Precision for so many years, from an assembly line worker to a product supervisor and then to the person in charge of multiple product production, not because of how high Li Jiansen's education is (he has not graduated from primary school), but because of Li Jiansen's years of experience in the assembly line and his own understanding.
Li Jiansen saw the notebook computer drawings handed over by Xiaomi, and immediately knew that Xiaomi would definitely use the microbial battery this time, which also shows that after the establishment of the Foresight Technology Alliance, the origin group began to drive Xiaomi's efforts.
Xiaomi's first product is not a mobile phone, but a laptop.
In Li Jiansen's view, the global laptop market has reached saturation, and there are very few new users every year, most of whom are replaced because of old computers, but the service life of computers is very long, and the frequency of replacement is as frequent as mobile phones.
Li Jiansen believes that if Xiaomi still makes traditional laptops, just updating CPU, memory, etc., then the competition will be very large, and the main cost performance may still have a certain sales, but if you want to become a hit, it is basically impossible.
But if Xiaomi uses microbial batteries and DNA memory and DNA storage on her laptop, it will become a hit in minutes.
The innovation of new technologies will inevitably accelerate the speed of product change, and this is the reason why Xingrui laptops, which carried microbial batteries a year ago, were sold well.
Most of the assembly lines of Xunli Precision in Dongguan City are prepared for the production of mobile phones, leaving very few for laptops, and Li Jiansen needs to expand the production line and recruit workers immediately.
In the off-season of foundry orders, Xunli Precision immediately began to recruit workers and conduct pre-job training, and it took less than a week for Xiaomi's new laptop to start production.
Zhou Xiao is also paying attention to the production of Xiaomi's laptops.
If it can succeed, the notebook industry will make up for the loss of Xiaomi's interests in mobile phones, and it will also make a good start for Yuanzhan Technology.
Zhou Xiao asked, "Is the output of memory and hard disk enough?" ”
Ma Xin, who was in charge of production, assured: "Of course! We were well prepared. ”
"The market's response to DNA memory is very good, after the network is suspended, the number of users who ask every day reaches hundreds of thousands, and through big data analysis, it can be known that Xiaomi's notebook must be a hit as long as it is launched!"
Except for the first batch of 100,000 DNA memory sticks, Origin Group has not launched DNA memory in official stores.
This was done for two reasons, one to make way for small cat laptops, and the other was the limited mass production of DNA memory.
Zhou Xiao paid attention to the progress of her task, and urgently needed a laptop to pull another wave of progress.
Xiaomi's speed is very fast, and according to the agreement with the source code group, the new computer will be sold under the name of Lumi, and will be named Lumi BOOK.
This time there was no huge press conference, Tian Yu wrote directly on Weibo:
"The pursuit of high performance and large memory has always been the ultimate expectation of users for personal PCs, and this time the new product of Xiaomi and Source Code Group is LumiBOOK, which is full!"
What kind of products will Xiao Mi launch after cooperating with the origin group has been attracting much attention, and now the answer comes out - PC.
This is a misplaced competition with Warwick, but also able to meet the needs of the market.
As many tech bloggers say, it's mostly technological innovation, and any mature market is a blue ocean.
Xiaomi's news has attracted the attention of PC giants such as Lianxiang, HP, Dell, and Asus.
To put it bluntly, these companies are assembly plants, ASUS is a little better, with some of its own core technologies, and the others are globally procured computer parts and assembled and sold by themselves.
Everyone wants to see who has better sales and who has more profits, which is basically the cost of production channels, sales channels and advertising.
Many foundries received orders from Lianxiang and Dell at the same time.
This month, this production line will produce Lianxiang's computers, and next month, it will produce ASUS computers, just change the shell of the computer, and the rest of the parts and models are the same, which is a very embarrassing thing.
In this day and age, the PC industry is actually not a difficult industry.
Without originality and core technology, you will always be an assembly plant - Lianxiang will play a good hand of cards to the ground.
THIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY PINGGUO LATER RELEASED MACBOOK TO BLOW UP VARIOUS COMPUTER COMPANIES.
Pingguo has its own chips, its own systems and its own technology.
"I'm not like you."
That's the big selling point.
Based on the above reasons, when Xiaomi suddenly wants to come out with a subversive product, it is no wonder that everyone is not nervous.
Three days later, Tian Yu posted on Weibo again.
The content of Weibo is very simple, directly announcing the appearance of the green Mi BOOK and the corresponding configuration.
The Green BOOK also uses a high and low mix this time, and a total of five models have been released - the main differences are the CPU and graphics card, as well as the screen size.
The rest of the configuration is the same – DNA memory, DNA hard drive, microbial battery.
With no bulky lithium batteries, no bulky SSDs and no memory modules, laptops are able to make the thinnest and most importantly lightest without sacrificing performance.
For example, Pingguo's latest MacBookPro13.3 (no discrete graphics card) weighs 2KG, which is already a representative of thinness and lightness.
However, the weight of the 13.3-inch green BOOK is only 0.9KG, less than 2 catties.
What is this concept?
That is, the weight of a laptop is less than the weight of two bottles of mineral water.
In addition, the volume of the notebook is much larger than mineral water, so you will feel lighter in your hand.
Moreover, the green Mi BOOK uses a microbial battery, and the appearance is transparent green, and the appearance is very high.
Tired of seeing the appearance of traditional laptops, users will feel the first thing when they see such a product.
When Tian Yu announced the appearance and configuration of the green Mi BOOK, it immediately caused a sensation on the whole network.
"It's out! It's finally out! Although I had expected it for a long time, I was still very excited after seeing Mr. Tian announce the product! ”
"The DNA memory has been sold out a long time ago, and the Origin Group has not been replenished, and now it can be directly matched to the green Mi BOOK, which is really good!"
"That's awesome! It is directly equipped with a DNA hard drive! If there are no accidents, it should be 1PB of storage! This space is enough for us to wave! Game! Movie! What you want, what you have! ”
"How much does it cost? Where is the sale, I am looking forward to it! ”
Yu Jiangdong saw the release of Lumi BOOK, and also reposted Tian Yu's Weibo, and said: "Congratulations Lumi, this will be a subversive product." ”
Three days later, Lumi will be sold online and offline simultaneously, with 500,000 units on sale offline and 500,000 units online.
