If possible, any mobile phone manufacturer, or even any business, would like to be able to set prices like Apple: not by how much my product is worth, but by how much consumers are willing to spend for my product!
Of course, today's ancient poetry does not have such confidence and ability.
According to Wei Qingfan’s original idea, the Guci Linjiangxian series, as a product that benchmarks Xiaomi’s digital series, will naturally have to stick to the price of 1999. However, the situation has been changing.
The first reason is cost. The company currently has a good relationship with Qualcomm and maintains business contacts, but it is no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning.
Qualcomm released processors at the beginning of the year, and Xiaomi has been releasing products in the middle of the year. At that time, the price has dropped and the cost is relatively low. Linjiangxian has always maintained the tradition of releasing products during the Shangsi Festival, and it is relatively disadvantaged in this regard.
However, if we sell first, we can also reduce the price when the time comes. And the current scale of Gushi is more than ten times that of Xiaomi, so the bargaining power is not on the same level.
What really led to the price increase this year was actually the emergence of self-developed processors.
The Taibai Gui series is positioned as an entry-level processor, but the 28nm process and 4-core Gui 1 have no problem being used as a mid-to-high-end processor today.
And considering the image of the "Taibai" brand, the price of Gui 1 cannot fall too fast, so it will be installed on flagship products first and the price will be reduced step by step.
Sauvignon Blanc, Linjiang Xianxia, and Qingyu Case series will also be equipped with Taibaigui 1 this year, so the pricing cannot be too low.
Linjiangxian 3 is set in 1999, so the price of the standard version will have to be raised, otherwise the Guisi version will not be sold.
There is no way around it.
The starting price is 2299, which is already the starting price of Xiaomi Mi 6 in 2017.
But if compared with the pricing of Jiangjinjiu and Niaomingjian, Linjiangxian still maintains the same cost-effectiveness as before, because also on the Gushi mobile phone, if you want to upgrade from Gui1 to Snapdragon 800 processor, you need to add 700 yuan
, while Linjiangxian only costs 300 yuan more, and it has a better Snapdragon 801 processor.
Linjiangxian's hardware specifications have also shrunk to a certain extent. Starting from the "3" generation, Jinjiu and Niaomingjian have been upgraded to start with 3G memory, while Linjiangxian and Sauvignon Blanc still start with 2G memory.
This is also normal, because the Samsung S5 released in early 2014 started at 5,999 yuan and also started with 2G memory. It is not unreasonable for the Samsung S series to go downhill from the S5.
Xiaomi Mi 3 also has 2G, but it is sold starting from 1999! But it won’t get stuck after half a year!
What do you have with your S5?
It’s ugly, stuck, expensive, and it’s made of ten thousand years of plastic!
After finishing the meal, they ordered a pot of tea, and the family sat at the table drinking tea and talking. Wei Qingfan turned on his phone and browsed the online discussions, and found that most of them were still criticizing Sauvignon Blanc.
Well, I mainly criticize the Collector's Edition of Sauvignon Blanc 3.
And they criticized the Linjiangxian 3 standard version for increasing its price and not having fingerprint recognition.
Feel free to scold, this is a normal situation. What Wei Qingfan needs to do is to analyze the real situation. It is more reliable to look at sales volume and owner feedback here, but it is not available yet.
There are similar voices in the Luoshen community, but most of them are voices that are considering which one to buy. Even if they are scolding, they will ask after the scolding.
There are various answers below. Basically, they think "Xian Dian 3" is the most cost-effective, but in the end it's hard to say which series has the highest sales volume.
Anyway, according to the company’s internal evaluation, sales of the Linjiang Xian series may decline this year, while sales of the Sauvignon Blanc series are bound to explode.
“Anyway, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose Sauvignon Blanc.”
Because of Li Miaoyu, mobile phones have also been discussed at home in the past few days. Li Wanyun also actively expressed her opinions, "I don't play any games anyway. For cutting fruit, Gui 1 is enough for Rhythm Master, and it won't get stuck."
, it’s more important to take good-looking pictures..."
"Why didn't you say you change your cell phone every six months?"
Li Wanyi scolded her sister, "Don't use your own thinking to make choices for others. If a classmate really asks, just explain it clearly and let others make their own decisions."
"I'm just talking about it myself, and I'm not recommending it to others."
Li Wanyun muttered dissatisfiedly, but she also knew what her sister meant. She was worried that she would be asked by classmates again, and would give random advice when the time came.
At present, it seems that Sauvignon Blanc and Linjiang Xian have their own advantages and disadvantages. After using it for two or three years, Linjiang Xian with a more powerful processor will definitely have the advantage.
In fact, some of her classmates were planning to change their mobile phones and came to ask her. Li Wanyun basically had the attitude of "not making decisions for others" because she had already suffered a loss once.
It seems that when she recommends a mobile phone, she assumes the after-sales responsibility on behalf of the mobile phone manufacturer, and she is responsible for everything.
After chatting for a while and drinking tea, the little guy had fallen asleep in Wei Qingfan’s arms. The family was tired of shopping and didn’t plan to continue strolling. They simply sat here chatting and waited until about three o’clock in the afternoon to hold him.
Leave with the little guy.
Li Miaoyu wanted to go back to record the video, so he didn't follow her to Tangning, nor did Wei Qingfan. He followed her to Yiheyuanzhu to help with the recording.
“In the past two days, many of my friends have sent me messages, asking me which one is better to buy, and give me my own purchase suggestions. If you want performance, choose Linjiang Xian, and if you want to take photos, choose Sauvignon Blanc;
"And if I have enough budget, I can buy the collector's edition if I can, because the fingerprint recognition function is really great! It's so convenient! It's no exaggeration to say that it has directly changed my habit of using mobile phones in my life. Now you can
I have a mobile phone without fingerprint recognition, so I am definitely not used to it..."
In the shooting corner of the basement, under the bright lights, Li Miaoyu was already narrating the final summary in front of the camera relatively naturally. As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and frowned.
Wei Qingfan asked: "What's wrong?"
"I feel something is wrong..."
Li Miaoyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then moved her chair with her feet, moved to the desk next to her, opened her laptop, and said, "I'll change the copy again."
"Change it, don't worry."
Wei Qingfan also sat down next to him, "Anyway, everyone is used to you being slower in posting videos."
"This is what I call excellence."
Li Miaoyu tilted his head and thought about revising, but did not forget to refute.
"You are obviously lazy, and you have been infected by your brother-in-law."
Li Wanyun curled her lips and said, "I obviously got the phone so early, but I haven't taken the picture yet."
"Disgusting~"
Li Miaoyu originally had a good relationship with her, but now that they live together, they are even closer. He glared at her angrily, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you go and play, just play whatever you want.
Don’t bother me here.”
"Okay, it won't affect you."
Wei Qingfan stood up, and Li Wanyun obediently followed his brother-in-law and walked out of the piano room together.
Li Wanyun glanced at him and whispered: "Brother-in-law, do you want to go up? Or go swimming?"
The only thing that Yiheyuan had but Tangning didn't have was a swimming pool, so when Wei Qingfan, Li Wanyi, and Jiang Qinghuai came over, they would always come over and have a splash.
Wei Qingfan stretched his body and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll turn on the air conditioner."
It has warmed up a lot now, and the basement is even warmer, but if you want to swim, you still have to turn on the heater.
"Well, I'll ask Miaomiao."
Wei Qingfan turned on the air conditioner and adjusted the water temperature. After finishing it, Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyun hadn't come out yet, so he didn't care. He went to change his clothes, and then quickly got into the water.
After swimming twice, I heard footsteps and emerged from the water. I saw Li Wanyun standing beside me and said, "Brother-in-law, are you already swimming? Miaomiao said she would come back later."
"Um."
Wei Qingfan nodded, "You play with yourself first."
"Hmm~"
Li Wanyun glanced at him with clear eyes, seemingly a little embarrassed, nodded slightly, then turned and walked to the changing room.
Wei Qingfan was stunned for a moment before he realized that if Miaomiao didn't come, he and Li Wanyun would be the only ones in the swimming pool...
Because he was so familiar with his sister-in-law and it was very common to swim together, his reaction was a little slow, but Li Wanyun had obviously thought of it a long time ago.
Maybe I haven't come here for a while, just because of this, I feel too shy to be alone in the swimming pool, I'm sorry.
Wei Qingfan hesitated for a moment, but there was nothing he could do, and there was nothing to avoid. He got back into the water and practiced different postures.
After swimming for a while, he heard some movement and resurfaced, just in time to see Li Wanyun changing clothes and coming over. His eyes straightened in a daze.
Because they often swim, several people have bought several sets of swimsuits, and Wei Qingfan has several pairs of swimming trunks.
The four girls have also changed into a lot of swimsuits during this time, some of which are relatively sexy, but overall they are still conservative.
This is especially true for Li Wanyun, who basically wears conservative sports one-piece swimsuits, which at most only expose her back.
However, this time she finally put on a split swimsuit, which was calm and elegant in light blue. The top was a tube top with small straps. Although it did not expose anything, it perfectly showed off her sexy and proud curves; the bottom was a triangle
, although there are many clothing materials, they are all concentrated on the top.
In addition to the swimsuit, her fragrant shoulders, jade arms, slender waist, long legs, and a large area of snow-white skin are all exposed, especially the slender waist and thighs, which fully reveal her proud figure that is almost comparable to her sister.
This is probably the first time in her life that she has shown her unreservedly and released her beauty and charm.
However, Wei Qingfan does not lack similar visual experience, and he can almost be said to have watched her grow up, watched her grow up, and have often gotten along with her in the past few years. At first glance, he was stunned for a moment.
.
Seeing him staring straight at her, Li Wanyun's already red face turned even redder. It seemed that even her ears were red. Her eyes were watery. She looked at him shyly and whispered: "Sister...brother-in-law..."
"Ah? Oh..."
Wei Qingfan came to his senses and coughed a little awkwardly, "Have you changed into a new swimsuit? It looks pretty..."
"Um……"
Li Wanyun bit her lip to prevent her smile from escaping, otherwise she would look too unreserved. She responded in a low voice, walked over, and whispered: "I just bought it, let me try it..."
She looked very nervous, as if she couldn't even walk, but this made her posture when she walked over become more graceful, swaying, and full of soul-stirring beauty and charm.
As expected of the two sisters...
Wei Qingfan couldn't bear it anymore, coughed again, looked away, then picked up the mineral water next to him, opened it and took a sip.
Li Wanyun walked to the side and saw that her brother-in-law was no longer looking at her. She bit her lip gently and shouted in a low voice: "Brother-in-law~"
"ah?"
Wei Qingfan had no choice but to turn around and look at the beautiful jade body in front of him. He asked as calmly as possible, "What's wrong?"
"Is it cold?"
Li Wanyun stretched out an arm and stirred the water, "It doesn't seem to be cold. Have you warmed it up?"
"Well, it's not cold."
Wei Qingfan nodded, moved to the side, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of the cold, come down quickly, the water will be warmer."
"Um."
Li Wanyun glanced at him with sparkling eyes, then held on to the edge, lifted up her two slender white legs in turn, put her white feet into the water, and then bent down to gently stir the water.
The style of her swimsuit is not too revealing, but it is a split swimsuit after all, and it also has a suspender top. When she bends over, she can see the snowy mountains and deep valleys at a glance. With her tall and proud figure, it has a great visual impact.
Wei Qingfan was heartbroken for a moment. He quickly looked away, jumped back into the water, and swam farther away.
It's not good for my sister-in-law to be too beautiful. I can't afford to offend her. I can't afford to offend her. Just stay away...
Li Wanyun heard the commotion and saw her brother-in-law running away. She stared at him shyly and bit her lip gently, as if she wanted to laugh, but also seemed a little proud and sweet.
Then, she pursed her lips, dipped her fair body into the water, swung her jade arms and legs dexterously, parted the water like a mermaid, and quickly chased after him.
