Catherine couldn't believe her eyes. She had been a reporter for so many years and attended hundreds of product launches in Silicon Valley, but this was the first time she was surprised by the same product so often!
When Jiang Chen on the stage rolled up his cell phone into a watch and put it on his wrist, a solid light appeared on his palm.
Everyone held their breath.
Hologram!
No, it's not just a hologram! She watched with her own eyes as Jiang Chen pointed his finger on the full image and operated the phone by touching the holographic screen. The screen suspended in the air is like a physical existence, and the transparent operation interface is simple yet beautiful.
Holographic interactive technology! And it is a holographic interaction that is completely separated from the physical interface!
She didn't know what words to use to describe the shock in her heart at this moment. She took a peek at her colleague's notes and saw the chief reporter of the Observer Daily next door. The pen tip between his fingers was trembling, and it took him a long time to write down a word.
Incredible.
Yes... perhaps only the word incredible can explain the shock in the hearts of the audience.
Because what she saw was so shocking, Catherine couldn't close her jaw for the rest of the press conference.
It can stand by for 24 hours when fully charged. It uses the Deep Blue M1 processor chip designed by Future Heavy Industries, and its performance is equivalent to twice that of mobile phones of the same price on the market.
Because the mobile phone itself is already thinner than the USB interface, Future Heavy Industries has specially designed a wireless charger to charge the mobile phone. In addition, the design of wired headphones will be completely abandoned, and the original headphones will be directly configured as Bluetooth headphones. You can switch between external amplifier and headphone modes with one click through the switch on the headphones or mobile phone.
Abandoning the original SIM card design, the phone adopts a concept similar to the virtual life card proposed by Apple and Samsung as early as 15 years ago. However, due to the impact it will have on the operator's business, this feature is temporarily unavailable in some countries. Instead, Futureman Technology has added a SIM card scanning function to the mobile phone.
In addition to these incredible functions, different styles such as space gray, snowflake silver, rose gold, gay purple, etc. will also be launched to provide distinguished users with the most distinguished services...
Well, actually there is no difference at all between the different styles. Graphene is transparent. The only difference between these different models is the fluorescent material doped in it, which is the color of the screen frame and standby clock... and the sales price.
Among them, basic colors such as orange and blue are the cheapest, with a direct sales price of US$950 before tax, while the price of local gold is as high as US$1,100, a full US$150 higher!
By the way, these money-making tricks were all learned from Apple.
Jiang Chen, the nominal chief designer himself, couldn't figure out the difference between light pink and rose gold. However, the live broadcast on the official website has already exploded. According to Jane's data analysis statistics, 70% of users have a strong desire to consume rose gold.
", let us welcome the future together!"
With Jiang Chen's pun-intended concluding remarks, the introduction session of this product launch conference came to an end. Reporters stepped forward one after another and pointed their weapons and microphones at Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang, is it positioned as a high-end phone? I would like to ask if your designers have considered that the price of US$950 is not suitable for most middle-income people, especially consumers in developing countries. I’m afraid it’s hard to accept.”
"It is positioned as a high-tech product, and we don't want to label it as a low-end or high-end machine. Spending $950 to buy an 8 may make you feel pain, but I guarantee that after buying it, you will only feel that it is well worth the money." "Jiang Chen said.
The reporter's eyes lit up and he made a few notes in his notebook with a ballpoint pen.
[Jiang Chen, chairman of Futureman Group, ridiculed the Apple 8 at the press conference as being too expensive and not matching its poor features]
Bickering and gossip are always more selling points than the product itself, so Jiang Chen didn't care about his exaggerated facts.
After all, this is also a kind of hype.
"Mr. Jiang, when will it be put on sale?"
"Mr. Jiang, there are rumors on the Internet that you and Emma Watson..."
“…”
The two-hour question-and-answer session passed quickly, but the enthusiasm of the reporters in the venue did not diminish at all. When Jiang Chen walked out of the crowd of reporters, his body that had been injected with genetic medicine felt a little overwhelmed.
Pushing the door open and walking into the preparation room backstage, Jiang Chen sat down on the chair and let out a deep breath. Xia Shiyu came over with a glass of water. Jiang Chen took the water and drank it in one gulp.
"I'm really exhausted. I don't know where those reporters came from with so many questions."
Although he was complaining, Jiang Chen had a smile on his lips.
The popularity of the product launch has, to some extent, reflected the market’s expectations for this product. It is foreseeable that on the day of release, it is inevitable that the product will be out of stock.
"Did you know? The peak number of viewers of the live broadcast just now exceeded one billion." Xia Shiyu said with a smile, standing beside him with his arms folded.
One billion? !
After hearing this number, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly sighed. Even though he was confident about his popularity, he was still shocked by this number. One billion online users watched. Fortunately, the official website's server is a quantum computer. Otherwise, the terrifying number of visits would blow up the official website of Futureman Technology.
"Based on the online user I, we drew a list of 200 lucky users and have now distributed prizes based on the addresses they filled in. In addition, the official website sales link was opened ten minutes ago, and 200,000 in stock were sold within one minute. Sold out.”
Based on the current production efficiency of Xinmat District, the average profit of a mobile phone is US$600, and all 200,000 mobile phones have been sold. In other words, in just one minute, Futureman Group made a huge profit of US$120 million.
This is so scary.
The Federal Reserve's money printing machine doesn't have this speed either!
"Let Futureren Heavy Industries adjust its production capacity and increase monthly output to 4 million pieces within two months, and to 9 million pieces by the end of this year!"
"I have already ordered people to do it." Xia Shiyu nodded, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and continued, "In addition, five companies including Samsung and Foxconn submitted letters of intent to us, expressing their willingness to enter into mobile phone OEM agreements with us. Negotiate to help us expand production capacity."
"What's their proposal?"
"They are willing to OEM our deep blue M1 chips, graphene screens, mobile phone batteries and other 13 items of equipment. It is expected that they can save US$79 in costs. And they will be able to increase our production capacity to 500 per month in a short period of time. Ten thousand pieces." Xia Shiyu said.
Jiang Chen pondered for half a minute, tapped his index finger gently on the table, and then spoke.
"Futureman Group has no idea of OEM for the time being, so just reply to them like this."
"Okay, I'll edit the email later." Xia Shiyu nodded.
Xia Shiyu also opposed outsourcing, but she still had to consult Chairman Jiang Chen about this matter.
In order to build a complete set of electronic industry production lines in the Xinma District, Future People Heavy Industries has invested US$2 billion. Although OEM can reduce product costs to a minimum in a short period of time through mass production, it can also increase the production of mobile phones. But the side effect of this is also obvious, that is, it leads to technology outflow.
Although the legal team of Futureman Group has registered patents in various countries for 21 components, including the Deep Blue M1 chip, Futureman Heavy Industries has kept the production process of these electronic devices as commercial secrets.
If it is made public, it means that OEM companies will also have these production technologies. It's okay for companies that don't have their own products. If you turn to a large company like Samsung, which not only does OEM work but also makes its own mobile phones, you can use the acquired technology to develop your own graphene mobile phones. At most, Pay a patent fee to Jiang Chen.
For the Future People Group, this is undoubtedly a loss that outweighs the gain.
Under the protection of the two fortresses of patent barriers and technical barriers, the Future Group can maintain its market monopoly hegemony to the maximum extent! (.)
