Chapter 47: New Product Launch (6)

(Ps: Add a new chapter ~~~ Shi panic wants to have an interesting PY transaction with the previous one, can you fly top?) You are reluctant to make a move, I am afraid that there is some dirty PY transaction behind this, what? The deal started? It looks like the deal is done!! Hey! Not much to say, the new chapter has been released first, full of sincerity~~~)

How much does it cost? Now the barrage on major video sites is expecting the same question and talking about the same topic.

"You say, what will the 'S-1' cost?"

"It must be very expensive, I can only look at it from a distance when I wait for the brick moving party, and it's all tears when I talk too much!"

"It's probably more expensive than an iPhone! Otherwise, the live broadcast will cut something! ”

"Will it be more than 50,000? I think it's cheap, and there will be no fewer people who buy the same S-1, and there are not many people who don't like it after seeing it! ”

"Brother Ren~ Oh, hurry up and announce the price! We'll all see the parameters ourselves, hurry up, don't torture us, sweat~~! ”

Finally, Ren Hong said something that everyone was looking forward to.

"About the price of the 'S-1'." Ren Hong's voice surrounded the entire press conference hall, "The official unified price of the wearable smart device 'S-1' is...... $1199! ”

"How can it be so cheap? The 128GB version of the iPhone 7S-plus costs $1099, how can the 'S-1' be so cheap? A foreign journalist said to himself with a tone of disbelief and surprise, how could the cost of such equipment be so low?

The audience ushered in a low exclamation, followed by warm applause, 1199 US dollars is not a low number, this figure is 100 US dollars higher than the iPhone7S-plus, but it is such a similar price, "S-1" is a complete explosion Apple, compared to the iPhone, the wearable smart device "S-1" is definitely cheap.

Obviously, it is foreseeable that when Ren Hong announced the price of the "S-1", users were undoubtedly the most excited, especially the original iPhone users, although they claimed to be fruit fans, but when both products were around $1,000, the iPhone on the left and the S-1 on the right.

I'm afraid not many people will put their money to the left, it's a question that can be thought about on your heels.

Users were excited, they had no idea that the "S-1" would be so cheap! In fact, this price is not cheap, and it has been included in the ranks of high-end consumer electronics. However, users feel that the "S-1" is really too cheap after comparing it with the iPhone. The configuration and experience of almost ten streets of the iPhone, the Xiaoyou of Sisr 100,000 miles, is only $100 higher than the price of the iPhone, this is not cheap! It's outrageously cheap!

Many people thought that the "S-1" was at least more than $2,000, but unexpectedly it only cost $1,199, or 7,755 yuan.

A few happy and a few worried, when users around the world are exclaiming and cheering for this price, other mobile phone manufacturers are clouded, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OPPO do not feel like a big disaster, and they don't even have much to do with them. The reason is obvious, the market they are facing is the low-end market, and the high-end market has been dominated by foreign brands such as iPhone and LG, and the wearable smart devices launched by XlouS are also oriented to the high-end market.

"What I'm most curious about now is what kind of expression Cook has! China's business and technology circles have produced a remarkable offspring. "'Rebus', who was watching the video of the press conference at home, smiled gloatingly.

At this moment, the blind can see that XlouS company carries the wearable smart device "S-1", which is to directly compete with Apple's iPhone series for high-end market share. Anyone can see that the price of $1199 is to make the "S-1" and the iPhone just face the rhythm!

From 2007 to the present, is there finally a company and a product that can compete with the iPhone in the high-end market?

"See?"

A voice came from the phone in Cook's hand, and after a long time, his voice rang in the office, "Ready to hold memories the next day!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, couldn't help but take off his glasses, and covered his face with his hands.

Why resist the enemy?

$1199! This is tantamount to declaring war on Apple! But in the face of such a revolutionary product, how can you stand out from the cruel competition?

Unless the new iPhone is also a revolutionary innovation and superior to its rivals!

But when he thought about the performance and configuration of the iPhone 8S flagship version compared to the "S-1", even he felt a deep powerlessness.

Cook couldn't help but look at the live video, looking at the young man who always had a peaceful smile, confident and calm, he seemed to see the shadow of Jobs from this young man, and when Jobs stood at the press conference, he was also as confident and calm as this young man......

"How can there be such a person in China?" Cook muttered to himself.

On the other hand, the XlouS announcement press conference, which is far away in the eastern hemisphere, has entered the reporter's question session at this moment.

"Hello, Mr. Ren! Will your new product 'S-1' compete directly with Apple's iPhone? ”

"This foreign journalist friend, I need to emphasize that the thinking of Chinese is different from that of Europe and the United States, we will not deliberately look for competitors, I believe that every product has its value and its corresponding position, and I only need to find its position and value!" So, no! ”

"Hello! Mr. Ren, will your company establish an offline direct distribution channel of 'S-1' around the world? ”

"The company has cooperated with a number of world logistics companies, and will not set up any stores and sales channels offline, consumers get orders on the company's sales official website, at that time, the professional courier brother will personally deliver to the door, and the only offline direct store is in the headquarters, tomorrow 10:00 will be open to the public on time and start selling the product!"

However, just as the press conference was about to end, Ren Hong suddenly said: "There is a news that I am going to announce at the end, and now is the time." He seemed to be trying to brew emotions, and after a moment, he finally said: "We still think about the mid-range consumers, and we want to provide products and services to these users as well"

When he said this, "Rebus" and other bigwigs were not calm on the spot, and immediately stared at the live broadcast, not even letting go of here? Do you know how many mobile phone manufacturers will be killed? A lot of people will starve to death!!

Ren Hong continued: "To this end, the company will launch a specific version of the intelligent voice assistant 'Xiaoyou' specifically for this group, and on May 25, the XlouS official website will open the download section of the Android version of the intelligent voice assistant Xiaoyou." ”

"The ability to launch the Android version of Xiaoyou is due to the open source of its operating system, which makes the Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant born, which is also the only service we can provide for mid-range consumers, but the Android version of Xiaoyou only supports versions above 8.0."

"With the Android version of Xiaoyou, the 2,000 yuan mobile phone will also completely bid farewell to the era of manual control and become a member of the voice-activated club."

"The Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant will be a paid app, which also belongs to the monthly fee system, and the official price is $5 a month. Tomorrow the official website will provide a download section! ”

The last piece of news is nothing less than an unexpected surprise for Android phone users around the world. Since seeing Xiaoyou's powerful features, I suddenly found that Microsoft Cortana, Xiaoice and Sisr are simply mentally retarded.

Obviously, for users who cannot afford to spend the "S-1", this is undoubtedly the luckiest of the blessings. Although it is a paid software, it only costs $5 a month to make a cold machine full of life, and few people will skimp on this money.

For $5, you can change your phone from hand to voice.

Android users are overjoyed, but the global fruit fans are not happy on the spot when they see this news, why didn't the iOS version be announced? What about iOS? Ren Hong, have you forgotten? When will the iOS download section be announced?

Don't have iOS? Can this be endured?

When Ren Hong announced this news, there were many posts on the XlouS official website forum asking for the launch of the iOS version.

Only a mobile phone with Xiaoyou assistant installed is a real smart device, and an $899 iPhone is not as smart as a $200 Android machine, which is absolutely unbearable. Are you kidding?

"Shameless Chinese!" When Cook saw this last news, he couldn't help but scold on the spot, just in front, what did he keep saying when facing reporters? No! But what about now? Cook found that he underestimated this young Chinese, and the product had already begun to sell the iPhone before it was released, what a dirty!

Obviously, Ren Hong's hand is miserable, and Cook will not believe the ridiculous statement that there is no way to launch an iOS version for any open source reason. There is an Android version, a XlouS flagship version, but there is no iOS version, and this Sima Zhao's heart is simply known to passers-by.

Originally, the performance of the "S-1" led the industry, and its price was no different from the iPhone.

Imagine that you only need to pay an extra $100 to buy a better "S-1", and when you spend $800 or even $1,000 to buy an iPhone that is not as smart and convenient as a $200 Android phone, how does this balance the hearts of iPhone users?

As you can imagine, this iPhone user will even be disgusted by this, will be laughed at by his friends, and will be able to spend money on the iPhone 7S-plus and will not even be willing to spend an extra $100 on an "S-1".

You can't even argue with some Android party taunting you and showing off your voice control in front of you with a $200 product.

Ren Hong's opening of Xiaoyou assistant is not only a pinching attack on the iPhone, but more importantly, it is also rich in huge business opportunities, 70% of the world's smartphone users come from Android users, which is undoubtedly a huge treasury, and 10% is an immeasurable sky-high wealth.

And the Android version of Xiaoyou is actually just a castrated version of the XlouS version of Xiaoyou, and the most important and outstanding security and privacy protection features cannot be enjoyed on Android Xiaoyou. But even so, the Android version of Xiaoyou Assistant is also extremely powerful, and voice control can replace almost all manual control operations.

The most important thing is that this is a new X-loading artifact that is even more powerful than the iPhone!

Obviously, when people get used to the high-quality experience and convenience brought by voice control, it will be difficult to leave this app, and at the same time, it can also subtly make these users pay attention to "S-1", and gradually become the closest to "S-1" potential consumer objects.

It is definitely a decision to kill three birds with one stone, to be able to obtain huge revenues, to block the iPhone, and to cultivate potential users for the "S-1"!
