A lot of people came to Xiaomi's press conference. As Liu Zhiyuan's former secretary, he still has this reputation. After all, if you know a little about Xiaomi, you can find that this is another subsidiary of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan laughed when he saw Lei Jun's slightly exaggerated press conference. Obviously, the press conference was a success.

Let’s not talk about how cheap a $99 mobile phone is in this era. Just the scene of smashing a Xiaomi phone and putting it back together and successfully turning it on was a gimmick for the media to report.

Electronic products are equal to fragile high-tech products. The more advanced they are, the more fragile they are. This has long been a subconscious consensus among people, and of course it is true.

If Hongmeng 2 is dropped like this, although it will not be directly scrapped, at least you will have to change the screen, right?

Can you drop the computer and take a look?

Drop the game console again?

"Mr. Liu, how was my performance? Did I not embarrass you?"

As soon as the press conference ended, Lei Jun called.

"Just the moment I dropped my phone, I practiced it no less than 100 times."

Liu Zhiyuan did not answer his question, but asked.

“Is the quality of Xiaomi mobile phones really that good?”

Although Xiaomi Mi 1 is a complete copy of the historical Nokia 1100, Nokia itself couldn't do such a violent beating, right?

Durability does not mean that it cannot be broken. Unintentional beatings and deliberate violent beatings are completely different concepts.

Unless the former is very unlucky, it will not break the core motherboard, but the latter has a high probability of damaging the motherboard. Maybe the phone can be put together, but it is unrealistic to turn it on.

"Specially made, specially made."

Sure enough, he knew this was the case.

"Let me just say, if you have this kind of technology, you can definitely make high-end military equipment."

After saying that, he felt a little worried. It is normal to exaggerate appropriately in publicity, but the contrast should not be too great, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

"What is the actual situation of the normal version? Don't play too big and you won't be able to close the game."

You don’t need to think about it. There will definitely be many users who will go for Xiaomi’s durability. When the time comes, if someone drops their phone on the ground and breaks it, something will happen.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry. Although the regular version is not as exaggerated as the one I advertised, normal beatings will basically not cause any trouble."

"That's fine..."

When Liu Zhiyuan was on the phone with Lei Jun, Ericsson executives also saw this promotional video.

After seeing this video, all their previous happiness was gone, leaving only endless anger and... powerlessness.

"Everyone, don't be too discouraged. No matter what, we still have a color screen."

Ericsson's product director looked at the lifeless conference room and stood up to comfort him.

However, the atmosphere in the conference room became even quieter.

Yes, their products have color screens, which Xiaomi phones don’t have, but everything is vulnerable to the $99 price tag!

The difference between their phone and Xiaomi’s is a full $500!

With the huge difference of US$500, they have no way to compete with Xiaomi in the low-end market. The high-end market, sorry, since the emergence of Hongmeng 2, has been completely GSM’s market.

"Reposition it, lower the price by $100, and then focus on people who have some money, but can't afford Hongmeng phones, and look down on Xiaomi."

After the CEO of Ericsson said this, his heart was very painful. That was 100 US dollars. The profit of each Ericsson mobile phone was less than 200 US dollars.

But $599 is too high, so high that those who don’t have enough money can’t even afford their phones, and those who don’t have enough money can’t afford their phones.

"Go and announce the price of Ericsson."

"Don't you think about it anymore? President."

The president understands the meaning of this sentence very well. Once the price is announced, it will be difficult to change it, which will seriously affect Ericsson's reputation in the world, but...

"Don't think about it anymore. We are not the Han Dynasty, nor are we Motorola. We cannot afford a price war. All production lines have been shut down. We can sell as much as we can."

He really can't afford to lose. If the price is reduced to US$299, he believes that his mobile phone will be able to capture part of the market, but Ericsson cannot afford this loss.

That is to say, Liu Zhiyuan doesn't know what the Ericsson president is thinking, otherwise he would definitely break out in a cold sweat and immediately put down the game and go to Xiaomi.

Because the biggest market for mobile phones in later generations has never been the high-end or low-end fields, but the mid-range!

Mobile phones priced between 2000-4000 are the best-selling ones and occupy the largest market share!

If the CEO of Ericsson really wants to go all out and set the price of their mobile phone at more than 200 US dollars, then...

Well, it's still cool. At most, it will just struggle for a few more years, and at most, Liu Zhiyuan will retire a few years later. After all, Liu Zhiyuan, who has experienced the next 20 years, knows what is the user's favorite mobile phone.

"Congratulations to the Han Dynasty, ah, no, congratulations to Global Communications, and congratulations to President Ren Zhengfei. The Best Electronic Product Design Award in 1998 is 100% for the Hongmeng 2."

The impact of Hongmeng 2 has just begun. This is a super phone that redefines mobile phones just by its appearance!

In 2010, it even won awards and received no mercy. What’s more, in 1998, in people’s subconscious, mobile phones should still be like big brothers!

"Look at these perfect cut edges, look at this perfect combination of glass and metal. This phone is completely from the future. If it doesn't win the Electronic Design Award next year, I'll eat it!"

Unfortunately, no one listened to the host's affectionate confession. All the guests present stared at the white Hongmeng 2 in his hand.

"Pete, where did you get it? It's not on sale yet?"

Pierre dodged the hand reaching for Hongmeng 2 and looked at it carefully before answering.

"Man, the Han Dynasty and I are sorry, I keep slipping my tongue. Don't you know about my relationship with Global Communications?"

"Okay, okay, Peter, we all know that you have a good relationship with GSM, so..."

The guests looked at him expectantly.

"Can you apply for one for me? I can pay for it."

"Hey... man, what are you talking about!? I seem to hear you weighing this work of art in terms of money?"

Peter deliberately made an excited expression and shouted loudly.

"This is blasphemy, do you understand blasphemy? You actually connected that kind of dirty thing with works of art!"

The guests quickly made a gesture of surrender.

"Sorry, sorry, my bad, Pete, could you please let me hold this priceless work of art in my hands and appreciate it?"

Peter handed over Hongmeng 2 reluctantly.

"Be careful, it is very delicate, not a rough handicraft like Xiaomi."

"Yes, yes..."

After receiving the Hongmeng 2, the guests looked at it carefully with a look of amazement.

"Pete, Pete, this phone..."

Seeing Peter's downcast face, he hurriedly changed his words.

“Does this artwork really have a fingerprint unlocking function?”

"Of course, you see."

After Pete pressed his index finger on the home button of Hongmeng 2, the main interface appeared, and the camera pointed at the phone interface at the right time.

The icons of each app are sitting there quietly, including icq, Galaxy Browser, and...travel frog.

"Amazing, so amazing. The technological content of this work of art is so high. I remember that Motorola and Ericsson also released new mobile phones this year, right?"

When Peter heard this, his face was full of disdain.

"Why should that kind of garbage product be compared with Hongmeng? Do they have front and rear cameras? Do they have such a beautiful appearance? Do they have fingerprint unlocking? They have..."

"Motorola...why dare to sell it for $1,099!?"

Okay, Liu Zhiyuan can't stand it anymore. Is this script a bit too much?

Although he has not read the scripts of these programs, they must have been arranged by Ren Zhengfei. After all, under normal circumstances, there would be no such clear-cut statements about taking sides.

He didn't know that this time, Peter and the guest were really wronged.

There is a script, but it is definitely not that exaggerated. It was modified by someone after they got the physical version of Hongmeng 2!

Liu Zhiyuan has seen too many classic mobile phones. Although the Apple 4 has an irreplaceable position in history, in the next 10 years, other major manufacturers have not been idle.

Having seen too many classics, he underestimated how much of a storm the Apple 4 would cause in this era.

"Oh my gosh, this feel, really, Pete, I really can't associate it with a phone, this texture, this comfort, I can't, Pete, you have to do it for me

One piece."

"It feels perfect. Look at my fingers. I can perfectly control it with one hand. The person who designed it must have put a lot of effort into human body mechanics. And here..."

"..."

As the president of Global Communications, a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty, Ren Zhengfei is naturally the parent company’s best publicist. He has great expectations for Hongmeng 2!

It doesn’t mean how much money it will make. Hongmeng 2 didn’t lose any money, but it didn’t make even 1 cent. Taking into account other expenses, it actually still lost money.

His real expectation for this mobile phone is that he wants it to establish who is the real king in the field of mobile phones!

As long as we win this name, Global Communication will have many opportunities to make money in the future. Regardless of the investment in research and development, the return will be that the cost is getting lower day by day!
