Chapter 290: It's all about friends and businessmen
"The origin group has officially responded to Pingguo's use of microbial batteries!"
"Everyone, please look at the Weibo of the internal employees of the Origin Group, this ...... This is an official response. ”
Zhou Xiao's words are still quite intense, and Wang Yulan used the Weibo of the company's internal employees to send this message in order to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble.
The reporters waited for a long time, and finally waited for a reply from the Origin Group, but how could this reply look so ......
Huh?
Right!
Boom!
The term immediately came to the minds of journalists.
It's hard to imagine that such a reply is actually the answer given by the employees within the origin group, which is ...... It's more like a kid's doing!
Many tech platforms have retweeted this Weibo and felt incredible.
Xinlang Technology reposted the Weibo of the employee of the origin group: "If Pingguo's IP13 does not use microbial batteries next year, Pingguo will be a grandson!" Everyone is welcome to ask Pingguo about the timeline of microbial batteries. ”
Then commented: "Although this Weibo is not sent by the Origin Group, it is also sent by the internal employees of the Origin Group, which can be regarded as representing the official attitude!" It's really just! Is it determined that Pingguo has no way to use microbial batteries? ”
Brother C: "I don't know where Origin Technology got such firm confidence, and I think that Pingguo Company has absolutely no way to use microbial batteries on IP13, but Origin Group posted such a Weibo...... It's a bit rigid! ”
What everyone didn't expect was that not only did the origin group post this Weibo, but Yu Jiangdong also reposted this Weibo.
This shows that Yu Jiangdong's attitude is completely consistent with the origin group!
I don't believe that Pingguo's IP13 next year will be able to use microbial batteries.
This makes everyone not calm!
Why are Origin Group and Huawei so sure that Pingguo has no way to use microbial batteries?
Journalists and netizens flocked to Pingguo's official WeChat, Twitter and Facebook.
Many netizens also left messages under Pingguo's Twitter, asking for a detailed timetable for Pingguo's use of microbial batteries.
But what surprised everyone......
Any information about microbial batteries sent by Pingguo during this time is gone!
No matter how thick-skinned Kuka was, after learning that Herbert's experiment would not succeed, he had to delete all the information about the microbial battery!
Don't delete it and stay to be slapped in the face?
But the internet has a memory.
Many netizens left screenshots of Pingguo's triumphant tweet that day.
Now it's okay, the reporters took the tweet and asked the headquarters of Pingguo Xia Kingdom.
"Why did you remove the news that IP13 is about to use microbial batteries? Has the situation changed now? ”
"Will IP13 still use microbial batteries?"
Faced with questions from reporters and netizens, the reply of the Pingguo Xia Country Headquarters was that I didn't know anything!
The media in the West had been reporting the news that Pingguo would use microbial batteries for the past few days, and now they have also discovered that something is wrong.
Not only did Pingguo no longer mention the microbial battery, but there was no news from Stanford's microbiology laboratory.
and CNN and other media wanted to make an appointment to interview the person in charge of Pingguo's technical department, but where did they know that the other party's answer was that they didn't know.
Finally, in a public place, the person in charge of Pingguo's technical side was caught by reporters when he was out and had to answer this question.
"We don't have plans for microbial batteries for the time being." The person in charge said, "I don't know where you got the news. ”
The answer of the person in charge caused an uproar among the reporters!
"But we saw that you tweeted some time ago, and it did bring up the matter of microbial batteries, and Stanford University also published a paper on it in a journal."
The person in charge said very embarrassedly: "We only proposed a conceptual product, and did not say that there is an application plan, as for what paper you are talking about, I don't know very well, please consult the relevant personnel." ”
Journalists don't give up!
"Now Huawei is already using a tassel mobile phone with a microbial battery, and your company is only saying that this is a conceptual product, does this mean that Pingguo has lagged behind Huawei in the competition of mobile phones?"
"Do you mean that Pingguo 13 also doesn't use microbial batteries?"
Faced with this question, the person in charge of Pingguo's technical department stopped answering and left in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of reporters.
Reporters flocked to Stanford University's microbiology lab, hoping to interview Herbert, who had been on fire in the academic world some time ago.
Herbert declined any interviews and did not disclose any information on the grounds that the contents of the experiment were confidential.
No matter how stupid the journalists are, they know that things are not good.
Perhaps, as the Origin Group and Warwick said, Pingguo did not have the technology to obtain microbial batteries at all.
Video footage of the head of Pingguo's technical department being forced to be interviewed is circulating on social media around the world.
Netizens also woke up.
"Don't wait for Pingguo's IP13 anymore, if you want your phone to never have to be charged, you still need Warwick's tassel!"
"The replacement plan can't wait until next year, there is a chance to grab the tassel immediately!"
"IP13 is not reliable at all! Now that Pingguo himself has denied using microbial batteries, let's not think about it! ”
Ship HQ.
Kuka looked at the interview video of the technical leader and wanted to curse!
This is the most inferior tackling! Very bad tackling!
This will be a devastating blow to Pingguo's image!
At the same time, Warwick announced that the second wave of 300,000 mobile phones with tassels will be released in a week, this time with an advance reservation system.
Each ID can only be reserved once.
After two rounds of panic bookings, all 300,000 mobile phones were fully booked.
In contrast, the sales of the IP12 just released by Pingguo are seriously sluggish.
Pingguo 12,128G The release price is 6599 yuan, this price is Pingguo saw that Huawei could not enter the ranks of high-end mobile phones and temporarily increased the price, now it seems that this price is not competitive at all, and it is impossible to maintain Pingguo's sales.
A month after the release of Pingguo 12, Pingguo, which couldn't withstand the pressure, began to reduce prices.
The official price of 128G has been lowered to 5999 yuan, which is the price of the official website, but the price obtained by the channel provider is much lower than this price, around 5100.
This is good, Pingguo's sales have decreased significantly, and in order to dump the goods, the channel providers take 128G as an example and directly dump the goods at the price of 5300 and 5400.
This is the first time since the birth of Pingguo! After a month of sales, the price cannot be maintained.
However, Pingguo has cut prices in a straight line, consumers still don't pay, and channel providers simply don't buy goods.
Pingguo official website only reduced the price again, 128G from 5999 yuan straight line price reduction to 5299 yuan.
Pingguo 12 is full of price pulls.
Xia Guo, who bought Pingguo 12 at a price of 6599, looked at the directly falling price, covered his face and cried bitterly: "In the future, whoever will tell me that the price of Pingguo is strong and the value is maintained, I will be in a hurry with whom!" ”
