my return to life

"..."

"It's not yet on sale in mainland China for the first time."

"It's a pity that Xiaomi's concept phone is not for sale, otherwise I might support Xiaomi."

"One thing to say, the red rice is really fragrant. Anyway, I think it's worth the price."

"..."

Listening to these slanderous complaints, Fang Nian didn't have too many thoughts.

Even if no one mentions the Frontier, which seems to have suddenly disappeared.

Fruit powder is not formed suddenly, but is accumulated from generation to generation.

If something is popular all over the world, it means that in a general globalized market, users will only make decisions that follow their hearts, and it is difficult to change quickly due to factors such as nationality and ethnicity.

Apple is the leader in setting off a frenzy of smartphones, and has become synonymous with high-end mobile phones after gradually becoming popular all over the world.

Naturally, it has a large number of fans.

Moreover, Apple insists on taking the route of high-quality products and a small number of products. The 4 series has accumulated enough reputation and is very stable.

More importantly, in the Chinese market, only foreign Samsung has the ability to compete with Apple.

There is simply no way for domestic mobile phones to compete with Apple.

In 2012, this is the unchangeable fact.

Even if there are Nuwa and Bai Ze working hard on the operating system and the SoC, even if Fang Nian has been urging domestic manufacturers to attack high-end, there is still no improvement.

In fact, Fang Nian really wanted to read Yu Dadong's ID card.

Among the domestic mobile phone brands currently united around the Nuwa Alliance, only Juchang has this strength, and ZTE should also have it.

But ZTE's technical strength is actually almost meaningless.

Hitting the high-end does not mean launching a high-end mobile phone, it needs to be recognized by the market.

"..."

Compared with the small-scale discussions in the classroom, almost all the discussions on the Internet are hot.

This is not too surprising, it has been like this since the 4S era.

There are almost seven or eight related topics in a row.

Fang Nian turned over.

The high-praise answers to some topics are quite sharp, but there is also a bit of hatred.

"Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Cook, Apple is really exhausted!

Respond angrily!

……

Let’s talk about the exterior design first, it’s almost an enlarged version of 4S, nothing new, not to mention Xiaomi’s concept phone, even Xiaomi Mi 2 can’t match it!

0 points in this regard!

……

Let’s talk about the most core chip, now almost Shihammer A6 adopts the architecture designed by itself. The processor is dual-core, which is claimed to be twice that of the A5. Comparable to Shenlong 512;

I see someone analyzed that because the number of cores of the Shenlong 512 is doubled, all single-core performance of the A6 is stronger. Please take a closer look. Nuclear power!

In summary, this kind of processing power is simply spicy!

……

Judging from the presentation at the press conference, Siri is still a mentally handicapped gadget. iOS is no different from WWDC, and there is no sense of surprise!

……

To be honest, I didn’t expect that the combination of Nuwa + Bai Ze would surpass Apple’s years of technology accumulation so quickly. It’s a pity that if Frontier makes its own mobile phone, Apple should have nothing to do.

……

To sum up, if Apple still has the strongest say in the supply chain and has a strong ability to fully adjust the hardware, such an iPhone 5 release will be cold!

That is to say, Xiaomi does not have much operating and sales capabilities overseas! "

"..."

"Thank you, people are diving, just bubbling.

iPhone5 still has some advantages, although everything is afraid of comparison, there are more disadvantages than comparison.

But it supports 4G. None of the domestic mobile phones support 4G. In the most important aspect of surfing the Internet, it has lost many streets;

Secondly, as Gao Zan said, Apple has an absolute say in the supply chain, which is also the basis for its emphasis on school capabilities;

Finally, it may be better that the first batch is not sold in China, after all, there is no Xiaomi in overseas markets. "

"..."

Xiaomi has indeed become the light of domestic production.

In Juchang, because the D series used HiSilicon K3V2 to overturn continuously, Lenovo lost its MindOS authorization and returned to Android, and other manufacturers are still working hard;

Looking around, Xiaomi has no rivals.

Meizu...

Meizu finally made a big effort in the distribution of goods, but that was the last time, using a Samsung custom processor, and then overturned.

This time, the new product launch conference is still under preparation and is planned to be held at the Water Cube.

Moreover, cooperation has been negotiated with Luzhou Frontier, and the new product uses Shenlong 512.

Fang Nian can only wish Meizu can go further.

At least don't let Xiaomi specialize in the past.

Seeing this, Fang Nian also logged into the key and sent a reply.

"In autumn, gossip has also increased.

Answer the question first: To be honest, this new Apple product is a bit of a stretch. Although there is no big competitor in the entire market, it may be overthrown by its own 4S;

----Dividing line

The following is irresponsible gossip:

I heard that China really plans to release 4G photos at the end of this year. It is said that in the past two months, the 4G pilot coverage rate in Shanghai has exceeded 50%, and other cities may also have related construction progress.

If this deployment is followed, the iPhone 5 is likely to be the first to enjoy 4G services when it lands in the domestic market.

The premise is that the Xiaomi concept phone really does not have any sales plans.

We must know that the Xiaomi concept phone has a lot to say, whether it is industrial design or various functional gimmicks, including the Home button fingerprint unlocking that is not on the iPhone5. "

"..."

Soon there were netizens leaving messages in the comment area.

"Key-holding boss, but Xiaomi's brand image is cost-effective. Is it good to launch high-end functions?"

"Yes, and it is rumored that the mass production of Xiaomi's concept phone is very difficult, especially one of the color matching is very difficult."

"The key is that the relevant parameters and information of the Xiaomi concept phone are rarely exposed, and they are not detailed enough, so it may not be possible to play."

Hold the key: "As far as I know, the concept machine of Xiaomi has no shortcomings under the current hardware conditions, not to mention the adjustment of the software level. After all, MindOS has been dragged down by other manufacturers;

So from this point of view, the most difficult problem for Xiaomi is mass production, and whether it dares to take a chance to change a bicycle into a motorcycle, and fail to hit the high-end, and the loss is still quite large. "

"..."

Chi Jian, who had finished class and wandered around the campus, wanted to say something more.

But the mobile phone in his pocket rang—Fang Nian always carried two mobile phones. Anyway, the weight of both mobile phones is lighter than that of future 5G mobile phones. A single 91g is still quite light.

Just log out of the account.

Fang Nian took out another mobile phone of a different color, checked the number, and swipe the screen to connect.

He said hello, "Mr. Lei."

Lei Jun's voice came out: "Mr. Fang, good morning, may I interrupt you for a minute if you have time?"

"Mr. Lei, please tell me," Fang Nian replied.

"..."

Lei Jun didn't hesitate too much, and said: "We have discussed several times internally, and decided to officially release Xiaomi M9 in Europe on September 20, and release it in the domestic market at the same time."

"Think about it." Fang Nian said casually.

Lei Jun on the other side said seriously: "Think it over. When Mi 1 was released at the end of the year before last, we encountered trade-offs. It was easier that time. This time we want to strive to get tickets for the high-end series."

Hearing this, Fang Nian pondered for a while, and asked, "How about the good product rate?"

Lei Jun said frankly: "It is not particularly ideal, and it is worse than expected, but the foundry is also upgrading the process. If the sales volume is sufficient, it is not impossible to improve the yield rate."

"..."

After saying a few more words, Fang Nian said calmly: "As a person, I support it. As the chairman of the frontier, I look forward to it. As the spokesperson of the Nuwa Alliance, I want to promote it. As Xiaomi's As a strategic shareholder, I...in fact, I don’t really support it.”

"This is indeed a turning point for Xiaomi's impact on the high-end. After all, the 4G era has arrived, but Xiaomi's background is not enough. I worry that other shareholders will not be willing to spend money on this M2 project."

"Especially in order to be competitive overseas, pricing is a big problem."

Lei Jun asked back: "Mr. Fang, aren't the shares of your personal and Frontier Angels, plus the shares of our founders enough to support it?"

"Enough is enough, but the risk to you is great. The situation at the frontier is far worse than what you know. If there is a problem, there is no way to support Xiaomi financially." Fang Nian said frankly.

"To be honest, I was the first to put forward the suggestion. At this time, I shouldn't keep persuading you. It seems very contradictory, but I should tell the truth when I have a strategic stake in Xiaomi."

After listening to Fang Nian, Lei Jun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "How bad is the situation at the frontier?"

"It can only be said that it directly lost billions." Fang Nian said casually.

He knew that Lei Jun had other ideas when he asked this question, but Fang Nian didn't care.

In a broad sense, Lei Jun is not only the founder of Xiaomi, but also an investor. His social circle is very large, and he is destined to have different interests from the frontier.

It does not rule out being alone at some point.

Still the same sentence, the reason why the Nuwa Alliance appeared is that Lei Jun chose to be wise and protect himself.

Lei Jun said with emotion: "No wonder, Dong Liu talked to me on the phone and mentioned a few words."

"Mr. Lei is here to make peace, right?" Fang Nian laughed.

Lei Jun just laughed: "Mr. Fang thinks too much of me, even if he wants to make peace, I'm not qualified."

"Let's talk about Xiaomi." Fang Nian brought the topic back.

Lei Jun pondered: "After full market research and relevant analysis, we internally decided to start selling overseas at US$699, excluding tax.

The domestic price is set at 4299 yuan. "

Fang Nian let out a snarl: "You guys are more radical than I imagined, I'm afraid you're going to burn billions."

Lei Jun sighed deeply.

It is really difficult for Xiaomi to hit the high end now.

The iPhone 5 starts at $649.

But the domestic price is 5288 yuan including tax.

Although Xiaomi plans to set a price that is US$5 more expensive than the iPhone 50 in foreign countries, the domestic price is still 1000 yuan lower.

It seems that in a broader concept, the impact of high-end this time will have a taste of being too high and too low.

After all, in the consciousness of many people, high-end must be expensive.

But if it is converted directly, in fact, 4299 yuan is more than 649 US dollars, which is about [-] yuan more.

It's just that there are tariffs on apples entering the country, and they are directly passed on to consumers.

In the end, Fang Nian said: "Just think of it as paying for your ideals."

"..."

Lei Jun smiled, and then changed the topic: "Redmi 1S officially landed in the Indian market yesterday, and the effect is not bad. It is estimated that the global sales volume is expected to exceed 5000 million units."
