PDLP Chapter 300: What is Glory's Goal? The Second Fire!
Chapter 300: What is Glory's Goal? The Second Fire!
The whole place burst into laughter.
Zhao Ming smiled, waved his hand, and then made a vague gesture.
"After all, Mr. Yu is my leader. Let's all make progress together."
Honor's goal is to enable everyone to use a good smartphone.
It's not a cheap phone, it's a good phone.
Zhao Ming repeatedly emphasized that a cheap phone is not necessarily a good phone, but a good phone can also be cheap.
Immediately after the press conference, Digital Chat Station posted a Weibo message.
"At today's press conference, Zhao Ming said he would take down Huawei. Yu was a little angry and is preparing to cut off the chip supply to Zhao."
Hahaha, just kidding.
With Zhao Ming joining the company, Huawei's marketing style has indeed become much more interesting than that of Honor of Kings before.
"Xiao Zhao is stirring up trouble, he's even trying to take down Huawei."
Old Yu: Little Zhao, you're very ambitious. You don't need to come tomorrow.
"Cutting off the chip supply is really something, isn't it? The Mtk6574 isn't a Kirin chip."
"Honor's marketing has finally improved. It used to be too serious. When it comes to competing with Xiaomi, it should be less serious."
"Upstairs, Lei Jun has already been pushed into the Indian market. What else do you want him to do? Exile him to Africa? But that's Transsion's stronghold. What would he do there? [doge emoji]"
"Hey bro, do you have any starting stats? I want to see them..."
Redmi is indeed unviable. After the release of Honor 3c, the daily sales of the first-generation Redmi on major e-commerce platforms plummeted instantly.
Some offline retailers have also started dumping their stock like crazy, no longer bundling it with other products, and even selling Redmi phones at a loss of 50 yuan each.
Because if we don't sell now, we'll be stuck with this bad stock.
Lei Jun received a phone call from China while he was in his hotel room in Mumbai.
It was Lin Bin calling; his voice was heavy.
"Mr. Lei, Honor has caught us off guard. There are 170 million Redmi units stuck in stock in China."
This was originally part of our Double Eleven promotional event, but now…”
Although the rice company has shifted its focus to the Indian market, it has not completely abandoned the domestic market...
Offline sales channels and e-commerce platforms are still paving the way, since the domestic market will always be a step backward for rice.
But now that escape route has been completely blocked by Glory.
How do they make money from 699? Are they really using second-hand parts?
"170 million..."
Lei Jun confirmed the number once again.
"Yes, some distributors are already unable to sell their products and are communicating with us to return them."
The warehouse is already overflowing.
170 million Redmi phones, with a current cost price of 630 yuan per phone, have a total value of 10.7 billion yuan.
The money has already been spent, but the goods can't be sold, so it's like the money has gone down the drain.
Fortunately, rice has an Indian market, so it can also be used to clear out inventory.
"What about other models in China?"
"The newly launched Mi 3s series is no good either. The Honor V series and Honor digital series have already eaten up the 2000 yuan price range. We can't even get a sip of soup."
The rice 4 has been delayed again, and the earliest it can be delivered is March next year.
Faced with this catastrophic situation, Lei Jun made a final decision.
"Old Lin, you said there's still room for us in the domestic market."
Lei Jun has already planned to completely withdraw from the domestic market, but he knows that this choice is not wise... which is why he needs to think about it repeatedly.
"Mr. Lei, to be honest, that's it. Those two companies have a monopoly, and now we can only rely on Android's openness to retain some fans."
After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun once again pondered the current situation.
Anil's shares were indeed well worth the investment; the factory's construction permit has been approved, and construction can begin next month.
Once the equipment is in place, production is expected to begin in January next year.
A couple of days ago, Lei Jun personally went to the site to inspect it, and the design plan was almost exactly the same as that in China.
The Indian government also realized that Transsion was not sincere, so it gave all the supporting facilities that were originally intended for them to the rice company.
The construction of supporting power plants, substations, and highways, as well as the recruitment of workers for supporting factory buildings, are also underway.
What's in short supply right now is rice-making technology and the corresponding workers.
Lei Jun gritted his teeth and made a decision.
We will bring in another batch of engineers from China to accelerate the construction of the factory buildings and strive to complete the construction of the first phase of the factory buildings before the end of the year.
…………
Just as Lei Jun was personally overseeing the factory construction, Zhao Ming in China started his second major project.
2012年11月6号，荣耀正式官宣荣耀X1的发布会，时间是11月8号。
Less than a month later, the venue for this press conference was moved to the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, which is several times larger than the last one.
The Honor 3C Play Edition has been selling like hotcakes lately, with 120 million units sold on the first day and sales already exceeding 800 million. It's not a problem for sales to surpass 1000 million in the first month.
Zhao Ming became famous overnight, and no one thought of him as a scholar-general anymore; he was a wolf in sheep's clothing...
This press conference attracted not only local tech enthusiasts, but also a large number of fans.
When Zhao Bin took the stage, the cheers from the audience were several times louder than last time. They were all for Ming Ge, and of course, there were also some shouts of "Beat Huawei!"
The director even deliberately gave a close-up shot for comparison.
First, he patted Zhao Ming's mouth. Although he still had that unstoppable smile, the curve of his mouth was noticeably higher.
Yu Dazui, who was sitting in the guest seat, also had a smiling expression, but the curve of his mouth was different.
This aroused great interest among everyone in the audience.
Hello everyone!
Ming has once again brought us a brand new product. Before the last press conference ended, an internal survey report we sent out was secretly leaked by someone.
Although I was very angry, I saw everyone's feedback, so we urgently made a product for everyone.
The name Honor X1 appeared on the big screen.
"But this problem has been exposed. Our team still has some issues. However, don't worry, I've caught the guy who leaked the information."
His performance bonus for this year is gone!
The audience burst into laughter again, while the live stream chat was filled with comments like "No self-entertainment allowed."
But then the director gave Yu Dazui a very appropriate close-up shot. Yu Dazui, who was initially a little angry, now had a much wider smile on his face, and you could even see a hint of schadenfreude.
Could it be that their wages really were docked, and that it was Zhao Ming's who was docked...?
Everyone in the audience wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ming on stage did not rush to talk about the product, but instead imitated Lei Jun and told a short story.
A photo appeared on the big screen.
A young man was watching a video on his phone on the subway. When his hand got tired, he switched hands and swiped a few times before finally putting the phone down.
"That young man is me."
Zhao Ming smiled.
"I used to take the subway to work every day. It took an hour to get from home to the company. I wanted to watch videos on the subway to pass the time, but the phone screen was too small and my eyes hurt after watching for a long time. I also tried bringing my computer."
The computer is too big; it's inconvenient to take out of my bag, and it's also very inconvenient to use on the subway.
Some people in the audience nodded in agreement.
"I'm wondering if there's a device with a screen that's bigger than a phone but smaller than a computer, that can be held in one hand, doesn't take up much space in a bag, and doesn't strain my eyes when watching videos."
