Chapter 132 How is this price possible
"How is this price possible? Did they really cut all their profits?"

After the official price of the new Xingyao solid-state battery cell phone was displayed on the big screen behind Peng Xiangqian, Lei Jun was shocked, and the subconscious blurted words were mixed with strong surprise.

Even the coffee he just picked up accidentally spilled on his pajamas.

I really can't believe that such a mobile phone is only sold for more than 2000 yuan, which is [-] cheaper than their Xiaomi.

This price is not surprising if the new Xingyao phone uses a traditional lithium battery.

However, based on the cost price of solid-state batteries, this price is still set. It can basically be concluded that Huawei is selling at a loss, and the more this new phone is sold, the more it will be at a loss.

Running a company is not doing charity.

Lei Jun never believed that Huawei would do this.

Otherwise, he would not have thought that this Xingyao mobile phone would not be able to compete with Xiaomi in terms of sales due to price issues.

"No company is going to lose money. There must be something else going on."

After calming down quickly, Lei Jun's brain is also running at high speed at the moment, thinking carefully about possible changes that may occur.

After all, no matter whether Ren Yuanwei intends to do charity or not, he can be sure that the Xingyao solid-state battery mobile phone at this price will definitely ignite the enthusiasm of users to buy, and I am afraid that the sales of Xiaomi mobile phones will fall to the bottom again.

So he needs to find out the real reason as soon as possible to formulate countermeasures.

Otherwise, such an opportunity, which he had waited so hard for, would slip away from his hands helplessly.

"It's just too weird."

"If it is assumed that their pricing actually includes their own profits, then there is only one possibility left."

"Could it be that……"

At this moment, when Lei Jun's thoughts stopped here, a very bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he quickly picked up his mobile phone and dialed the secretary's number.

"A temporary high-level meeting of the company will be held tomorrow morning, and no one will be absent."

As a qualified secretary, I am used to receiving a call from the leader to arrange work at night. Although I don't know what happened, but hearing the chairman's tone so urgent, the secretary on the other side of the phone responded quickly Reply.

"It's the chairman."

……

Compared to Lei Jun's unexpected surprise, the live broadcast room exploded at this moment, and no one expected such a big reversal.

Users who were still engaged in business and posted barrage, after seeing the price displayed on the big screen, there was a long-term fault in the collective silence barrage.

I just feel that my old face is flushed, like a child who has done something wrong.

However, after this situation lasted for more than ten seconds, the barrage once again showed an explosive refresh rate, but its atmosphere was completely different from that of just now.

It is simply a large dog licking scene.

"Oh my god, I was slapped in the face this time, but I feel very happy, what's the matter?"

"It's really shocking. At this price, Huawei is definitely doing charity."

"I admit that my words were a little harsh just now, but now I just want to say Long Live Xingyao's father."

"It's unbelievable. The price of solid-state batteries is actually cheaper. Is it possible that I reward myself too much?"

"Brothers in the live broadcast room, please tell me if I missed the last zero."

"Wang Wang~"

"While you guys are still posting bullet chats here, I've already cut out to place an order. I'm afraid it's too late for such a cheap price!"

no doubt.

After the price was officially announced, the word-of-mouth of Xingyao solid-state battery mobile phone has been reversed.

At the same time, there is a terrifying increase in sales.

For users, everyone wants to use high-performance solid-state batteries in their mobile phones, but they are forced to give up because of the price. Nowadays, the price of solid-state batteries is no different from that of traditional lithium batteries, so they must be snapped up.

And there are still many people who think that if Xingyao sets such a price, there will definitely not be many sources of goods. If they sell slowly, they may not even think of buying it later.

So under the spread of this kind of statement, the moment Xingyao solid-state battery mobile phone was opened for online snap-up, a large number of accounts placed orders for snap-up.

The 5-minute sales volume has greatly crushed Xiaomi's previous data, and it has topped the mobile phone best-selling list on major e-commerce platforms, which shows its popularity.

The next day.

Last night's Shining Star new product launch conference has not diminished the enthusiasm.

In addition to frequent hot searches on websites and platforms that have aroused heated discussions among netizens, professionals in the industry have also come down for analysis.

They don't think that setting such a price for Xingyao's new mobile phone is Huawei doing charity. After all, if the company wants to ensure a stable operation, it is absolutely impossible to do a lot of loss-making business. If it really wants to engage in charity to repay users, it can use other methods.

As the founder of Huawei, Ren Yuanwei has worked hard in the mall for so long, so he is not ignorant of this truth.

So with such an inference, everyone turned their attention to Xingyuan Battery, guessing that the price of the solid-state battery they developed is not as expensive as imagined.

Although Warwick did not make any response to this matter, there are more and more related discussions.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried.

Users can use cheap high-performance metal solid-state batteries, which is undoubtedly a very happy thing, but companies that produce traditional lithium batteries at home and abroad suddenly feel tremendous pressure.

Can't imagine what the company will become like this.

If Xingyuan Battery really overcomes the cost and price problem of solid-state batteries and mass-produces them, it is believed that it will soon completely replace lithium batteries.

At that time, if they cannot find a new way out, they will definitely be abandoned by the times.

For this reason, well-known lithium battery production companies such as Sanxing Songxia Ningwang New Energy at home and abroad frequently hold core meetings to make new plans for the company's next development and strive to avoid being affected by Xingyuan solid-state batteries.

In addition, many related brands are also starting to make moves, hoping to reach a cooperation with Xingyuan Battery.

"Last night, you all watched Xingyao's new product launch, it was really unexpected."

imperial capital.

Xiaomi headquarters building.

In the conference room, Lei Jun looked around at the core staff of the company sitting on both sides, and his slightly heavy voice reached everyone's ears.

But the meeting room was extremely quiet.

No one dared to speak rashly.

Compared with the cheerful atmosphere of the previous two days, it was now extremely solemn.

Everyone knows very well that Xingyao mobile phone has set such a price beyond common sense, and it will definitely completely dominate the mid-range mobile phone market in the future.

The signs that their sales volume has just increased will be ruthlessly snuffed out again.

Especially thinking of the promise he made in front of Lei Jun earlier, he naturally dared not speak now, for fear that something wrong would offend his boss.

of course.

As the chairman, Lei Jun would not know what his subordinates think.

The key right now is to figure out the company's next step as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the market share it owns will not be completely seized by Xingyao.

Originally, the use of Tamron chips in Xingyao mobile phones had a certain impact on Xiaomi's sales. Now that the core competitiveness of solid-state batteries is added, the living space of Xiaomi mobile phones is bound to be further squeezed.

Thinking of this, Lei Jun didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately opened his mouth again and said to everyone: "Don't pretend to be dumb, what do you think of the solid-state batteries produced by Xingyuan?"

Speaking of this place, the company's core personnel on both sides of the conference table must not be able to keep silent.

After a little hesitation, someone finally opened the conversation box.

"Chairman."

"Judging from the current information, the solid-state batteries produced by Xingyuan Company are quite mature."

"The cost is also very likely to be reduced to the same range as traditional lithium batteries, otherwise the price of Xingyao's new mobile phone will definitely not be lower than ours."

"It is true that we underestimated the technology mastered by Xingyuan Battery."

After this person finished stating the current industry situation, the others finally got to the point and talked about their own ideas.

"Solid-state batteries, whose price is not much different from that of lithium batteries, will definitely replace lithium batteries in the future, and we need to prepare early."

"Future Technology has planned to build three large-scale battery production bases. When their production capacity is raised, it should be time to enter various related industries. We should make arrangements in advance."

"Yes, Chairman, only the Huawei family uses solid-state batteries. This kind of competitiveness is unmatched by other mobile phone brands."

"I suggest contacting Xingyuan Battery immediately to purchase their solid-state batteries."

I have to say that the suggestions of the staff below hit Lei Jun's idea. How could he have no reaction to the cheaper and more powerful battery.

This time the new mobile phone is recognized by Xingyao, but it is necessary to let Xiaomi mobile phone use this kind of battery as soon as possible.

At this point in his thinking, Lei Jun finally made a secret decision, and immediately made a decision and told everyone: "The marketing of our new mobile phone is temporarily suspended. In addition, I will go to Binjiang City in person to discuss cooperation with Xingyuan Battery."

Lei Jun was well aware of the importance of this matter, so after finishing this short but important meeting, he immediately selected his companions and asked the secretary to arrange the itinerary.

In the afternoon, he took people out of the imperial capital.

It can be said to be decisive and fast.

It is worth mentioning that China has achieved such a great success in metal solid-state battery technology, and the cost price has been compressed to a level similar to that of lithium batteries. This kind of pride and pride must be publicized on the Internet.

After seeing the remarks in the comment area of ​​the YouTube related introduction video, those overseas netizens expressed their envy and wanted Xingyao solid-state battery mobile phones to enter the overseas market as soon as possible, and I felt very comfortable.

In the past, domestic netizens lamented the various powerful technologies conquered overseas, but now they have finally found their place.

Even Pingguo was affected by solid-state batteries, and conducted detailed investigations and held technical seminars.
