Chapter 521: Unbounded Technology, the End of an Era Press Conference! (asking for monthly tickets)
Ten years later, many people in towns and villages will shop online, but in 2013, physical stores are still king.

Young people who are quick to accept new things only dare to buy small items such as mobile phones online.

As for large appliances, especially 60-inch smart TVs, it is even more difficult.

Moreover, LeEco was new to the TV business, had no experience, no physical stores, no after-sales service in most cities, outsourced after-sales service in a few cities, and had negative news…

This has led to young people, who are easily receptive to new things, not daring to place orders.

As for the middle-aged and elderly groups, they are even more afraid to place an order.

So, despite LeTV’s aggressive marketing, its sales were still dismal in the end.

Jian Ziyan suddenly realized: "So that's it. A new brand with a lot of negative news and no physical stores to support it. LeEco L60 looks like it's going to be a tragedy."

Wang Yi nodded: "Then we will give them a ride and invite LeTV TV to go on the road!"

"Prepare for a borderless technology press conference!"

"We are launching our most important product this year and giving away LeTV TV at the same time!"

"Yes!" Jian Ziyan was in a good mood: "LeTV is really finished now."

The next day, when LeEco was still racking its brains to figure out how to increase sales, a piece of news shocked the entire Internet:
[Boundless Technology. The End of the Era press conference will be held at the Jeju Miyu Exhibition Center on the morning of the 11th. 】

[The most affordable new product with no boundaries, an irresistible price, an absolute hit that will end an era, is about to bloom! ]

As soon as the news came out, the whole network was in an uproar:

"The launch of the Wujie Technology is coming soon. What will be released? Wujie TV A55 and Wujie TV A60?"

"It's possible. LeTV L60 is jumping up and down. Jia's comparison method is disgusting. The launch of the Wujie TV A60 will teach him a lesson."

"The Wujie A40 and A50 are both very good, with unbeatable cost-effectiveness and powerful performance. The Wujie A55 and Wujie A60 must also be flagship products, at least their performance is much more powerful than LeTV L60."

“这肯定的，无界A50都是鲲鹏506，我估计无界A60至少搭载鲲鹏700，是乐视L60的2.6倍性能。”

"There is nothing wrong with Xingyi X60 using Kunpeng 702 and A60 using Kunpeng 700. The performance is strong enough and the price can probably be much lower, 8999?"

"The performance and after-sales service are all better than LeTV L60. If it is really 8999, I must buy it. But LeTV is useless and can't be sold anymore."

"Are you only releasing the borderless TV? What's the new hit product of the end era? Are there others?"

"I don't know about that, but it's worth looking forward to. I hope there will be surprises!"

……

Everyone was extremely excited, but Boss Jia's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot:
"Here it comes! Here it comes again!"

"As soon as our LeEco L60 was released, they held a borderless technology press conference, and it must be the launch of the borderless A60."

"It's really a ruthless extermination!"

The vice president nodded and said, "Chairman, I am worried that the performance of the A60 is much stronger than our L60, and the price is similar to ours. In addition, it has complete physical stores and after-sales services. Then our L60 will be finished."

"Ah, who said it wasn't?" Boss Jia was confused and could only hold on to his last hope:

“I hope the price of the A60 won’t be too low, preferably 10999, which is 60 more expensive than the LeEco L2000. If the price is similar, the L60 will be hard to sell!”

But Boss Jia knew that the possibility of this happening was very low.

"Blame me!"

"If I hadn't done anything stupid and hadn't provoked Xingyi Technology, the A60 would have sold for 10999. Now that I've provoked Xingyi Technology, Mr. Wang would probably rather make a thousand less and sell it for 9999, or even 9499, just to kill our LeTV L60!"

"We're in big trouble!"

Seeing Lao Jia's regretful look, others were also speechless:

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

"You'll have to pay for what you've done!"

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire LeTV headquarters was depressing, as if one had lost one's parents.

However, some of the major giants seemed to be gloating over the misfortune.

Xiaomi headquarters.

Lei Jun looked a little complicated: "The A55 and A60 are about to be released, LeEco is completely ruined. There is no need to do our Xiaomi TV project at all."

Lao Li agreed very much: "Yes, Xingyi TV is high-end, and Wujie TV focuses on mid-to-low-end cost-effectiveness. The difference is almost blocking the profit margin. The stubborn LeTV TV will die. There is no need for us to repeat the same mistakes."

"Let's just make good mobile phones and continue to explore the Indian market."

Lei Jun sighed: "In the domestic market, there is the Xingyi mobile phone. The Xiaomi Mi 2999 priced at 1599 is just selling OK. On the other hand, in India, the Xiaomi Mi 2 priced at is selling quite well. There is no way to fix the TV."

Baidu headquarters.

Li Yan was somewhat gloating: "LeTV has also experienced the pain of our Baidu, the pain of being beaten by Xingyi Technology. But it doesn't matter. Next, our Baidu smart home should also set sail. Are you all ready?"

The vice president nodded and said, "Everything is ready. Xiaodu AI speaker has been successfully developed and is priced at 599, which is 200 cheaper than Xiao Ai speaker lite. There is no problem with sales. There is no problem with sales at all."

Li Yan was very satisfied: "Very good. Baidu should not be careless in its smart home strategic cooperation in the future. We invite all major brands to join Baidu Smart Home."

"Don't worry, Chairman. The smart home market is so big that we can't let Xingyi Technology take it all. We at Baidu have to take a third of the market!"

The vice president said confidently: "Several white goods giants have expressed their intention to cooperate. In the next month, all the senior executives of our smart home department will go out to further contact the major white goods giants to promote cooperation. We will strive to officially launch Baidu Smart Home and Xiaodu Speaker next month and declare war on Xingyi Smart Home!"

"Very good. Although it's a year late, there is still hope. After all, our Baidu search is still invincible, much stronger than Xingyi Technology's Sogou search. AI speakers rely on search capabilities. It's just that there is still some gap in AI algorithms. You have to work hard to surpass Xingyi Technology!"

The vice president couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained in his heart: "Mr. Wang is willing to invest in the field of AI algorithms, and his R&D funding is five times ours! You only ask us to work hard to produce results, why don't you work hard to invest?"

But unfortunately, he just thought about it in his mind. If he dared to say it out loud, he would be ruined.

I had no choice but to say, "Yes, Chairman, I will go to the algorithm department to supervise it now!"

The appearance of the press conference marking the end of the borderless technology era was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, which dispersed the influence of LeTV's hot searches and disrupted the main theme of the entire Internet.

In the following days, no matter how Jia operated, the full payment reservation volume of LeTV L60 did not improve.

Not only is the increase not large, but there are also many orders that have been refunded.

There is no way. LeTV L60 will not start queuing for shipment until the 23rd. It will probably take until the end of the month to receive and install the goods.

The Wujie Technology press conference will be held on the 11th. According to the rhythm of Xingyi Technology, all products will be put on sale as soon as they are released.

In other words, the A60 will start shipping on the 11th.

In addition, Xingyi Technology has stores and warehouses everywhere, a powerful logistics system and after-sales installation system. If you place an order early, the installation can be completed on the 11th, 12th or 13th.

Half a month ahead of LeTV L60!
The configuration is even higher, so who would still buy LeTV L60?

As a result, users who had pre-ordered LeTV L60 with full payment began to get refunds in large quantities, recovering funds and waiting for the earlier launch of the Wujie A60!

This caused LeTV's sales, which had finally exceeded 9000, to become bleak again, even shrinking to more than .

Jia was very disappointed: "What can we do? The sales of our L60 are declining instead of increasing even before the release of the A60. When the L60 is released, won't it be even worse?"

The vice president also became melancholy: "It's difficult. We can't compete with the unlimited TV in China. How about we sell it in India? I see other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, they can't sell in China, so they all go to India to sell."

Boss Jia's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. The Indian market is also very large. It should be able to sell well, right?"

The marketing director shook his head and said, "It's difficult. India is poor. If it's a TV that costs two or three thousand, it can still sell well. But the L8999 that costs 60, only a few rich people in India can afford it."

"But the problem is that Xingyi TV is also on sale in India, and the subsequent Wujie TV will also be on sale. The rich people in India will give priority to buying Xingyi TV."

Boss Jia nodded and said, "Yes, unlike mobile phones, Xingyi smart TV has already been globalized. Then our LeTV L60 is doomed to fail, right?"

The marketing director sighed and said, "Anyway, it's not optimistic. Let's take a look at the price of the A60. If they sell it for 8999, we have to lower the price. Even if we only make a hard-earned profit, we have to sell it."

"Oh, I can only take it one step at a time." Lao Jia was extremely helpless.

Time flies by.

On June 6, the press conference for the end of the borderless technology era was officially held, with many media present.

Although it was a press conference of Wujie Technology, the popularity did not decrease but became even higher.

There is no other reason, boundaryless represents universal benefit!
Represents cost-effectiveness.

It also represents terrifying sales!
It also represents public attention!

Especially the theme of this press conference, the end of an era!

What era is ending?
That's really intriguing.

As a result, the attention to this press conference has been much higher.

Especially those who are planning to buy a TV are all squatting in the live broadcast room, waiting for the release.

Wang Yi walked onto the stage and said, “Thank you all for coming to our press conference on the end of the era of borderless technology.”

"Yes, the focus of today's press conference is the end of an era."

"First, the era of high-priced 60-inch TVs is coming to an end."

Everyone became interested after hearing this.

This is what I was waiting for.

Wang Yi said: "Xingyi TV X60 is very good, but many people say that the price is not low and it is stressful."

"But there is no other way. The materials and quality of Xingyi X60 are the best."

"For example, for the screen, we use a 60-inch panel produced by Sharp's 5000th-generation production line, which is the most advanced in the world. The market price is yuan."

"Plus, the other components are all top-notch in the industry, and they are all the configurations of flagship phones, so the cost is high. Add in taxes, R&D costs, marketing costs, after-sales costs, etc., and the total cost is extremely high, so the selling price naturally cannot be low..."

Everyone nodded and was also shocked.

Many people would never have thought that the panel of Xingyi X60 would cost 5000 yuan.

In this way, there is a higher recognition of the price of Xingyi X60.

Wang Yi continued: "The good thing is that you get what you pay for. A 60 yuan panel is better than a 60 yuan panel. This has to be admitted. Xingyi X is definitely one of the world's top -inch TVs. Whether it is display effect, performance configuration, or system, it is top-notch."

"Users who buy the Xingyi Smart TV X60 are also very discerning and pay attention to quality and effects, and they will definitely not be disappointed."

"I can only say that this Xingyi Smart TV X60 is totally worth the price."

There was applause at the scene. Previously, because of LeTV's Jia-style comparison method, many people had questioned that the Xingyi smart TV was a rip-off and too expensive.

But now, there is no doubt anymore.

Wang Yi continued: "Of course, there are also many users who want a 60-inch TV. They don't need such high performance or such an extreme screen, but just want a lower price."

"Just like some people eat at star-rated hotels, while others prefer small restaurants, different people have different needs, which is normal." "For this reason, we also launched the Wujie smart TV, Wujie A40 and Wujie A50, all of which have good sales."

"Two months after launch, the sales of the Borderless TV A40 exceeded 2000 million, and the sales of the Borderless TV A50 exceeded 1500 million! Thank you for your support!"

There was applause at the scene, and no one questioned such sales volume.

All the relatives and friends around me have posted their shopping carts.

"To this end, today we are once again launching the borderless smart TV A55!"

"First of all, we don't use a processor that is too bad like some brands do. On the contrary, our Kunpeng 50 is more powerful than the A506."

“That’s right, the Boundless Smart TV A55 is equipped with the Kunpeng 700 processor!”

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and consumers breathed a sigh of relief: "Unbounded A55, it's a sure thing!"

Boss Jia also sighed: "LeTV L60, it's over!"

Wang Yi continued: "As a 700-bit processor, Kunpeng 64 has very powerful performance. With the support of XOS system, its performance exceeds Qualcomm's flagship processor Snapdragon 600 and is comparable to Snapdragon 800."

“It’s 3 times faster than our competitor’s Tegra 2.6!”

"And it uses 2G running memory to ensure smooth operation."

"As for storage space, 4G is definitely not enough, so we can go straight to 8G storage, so we can install multiple apps without any problems!"

"With this configuration, even large-scale games and motion-sensing games can be played with ease!"

"In addition, although the A55 is a cost-effective product, we still give it hifi sound quality!"

"That's right, the A55 is equipped with the Teana M1 hifi chip, and the sound quality is excellent, crushing its peers."

"It's not as good as the Xingyi TV X55, which uses a domestically made screen."

"But there is no other way. Sharp screens are too expensive and the cost cannot be reduced."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

If it really uses a Sharp screen, it will become Xingyi X55, and the price will be higher.

“As for the price!”

"X55 Xingyi is 9999, guess how much the A55 Wujie is?"

Everyone started talking:
"7999!"

"7499!"

"8999!"

……

Wang Yi smiled and said, "The lowest price is 7499!"

"Minus another five hundred, 6999!"

"And I'll give you two more years of Xingyi Video membership!"

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue, and everyone was excited:

"Fuck, the A55 is only 6999, what a bargain!"

"I can't refuse this price. It's 55 cheaper than the Xingyi X3000!"

"I looked at it and found that the only difference is the screen is not as good as the Xingyi X55, and the processor is slightly lower, but it is sufficient. The other parts are not much different. It is 3000 cheaper, which is a good deal."

"If you care about display effect and quality, go for the Xingyi Smart TV X9999 which costs 55. If you like cost-effectiveness, go for the Wujie A55. Both have more than enough performance and are not bad."

The press conference continued: "Boundless A55 is now available in Xingyi Mall, Mayu Mall and Xingyi flagship stores on major e-commerce platforms, as well as Xingyi, Mayu, Zhenyou and Xingyue offline stores at home and abroad, as well as the three major business halls of Liandong, China Mobile and China Telecom. Welcome to the store to experience and purchase."

"You can also use the Changchat app, search for Xingyi Mall, and place an order directly."

"We will deliver and install the products in the order sequence. For those who place the earliest order, it may be installed at noon today and you can watch it in the afternoon."

"That's right. This is the time limit of our Xingyi Technology and Wujie Technology. We won't play the pre-sale game and won't keep you waiting for too long!"

Applause broke out again.

This is really reassuring.

LeTV announced it a long time ago, but it was not launched until the 23rd, whereas Xingyi Technology held its press conference later, but it ended up being launched 12 days earlier!
There's no comparison.

Wang Yi continued: "In addition, there is also the borderless smart TV A60."

"Compared to the A55, it has higher configuration and better performance!"

"First of all, the processor has been upgraded to Kunpeng 702, which is the most powerful processor on the planet, bar none! With the support of XOS system, its performance is 3.5 times that of competitors."

“其次，内存从A55的2G加8G，升级为2G加16G！”

"That's right. Unlike competitors' 4G storage, we directly provide 16G to ensure that users can install multiple apps and games with ease."

Hearing this, everyone was completely excited:

"Right, that's more like it. LeEco L60, 4G RAM, can't even install a few games, it's rubbish."

"Look at the Unbounded A60, which has 16G storage space, Kunpeng 702 SOC, and full performance. This is sincerity."

"As expected, for TV, you still have to look at Xingyi Technology. LeTV and the like are just mediocre and too unprofessional."

In fact, LeTV's 60-inch TV in the past used Qualcomm APQ 8064 processor and 2G RAM, which was considered conscientious, but the storage was still 4G, which was very stupid.

All I can say is that the first generation of LeTV TV had no experience.

For example, the LeTV S40 has 1G RAM, 4G storage, and a crappy processor. The TV didn't break after a few years, but the configuration was too low and it was so laggy that I had to upgrade the motherboard.

It’s all because of lack of experience. The subsequent generations were more conscientious and upgraded to 16G storage.

Wang Yi continued: "In addition, the Wujie Smart TV A60 is also equipped with the Tianlai M1 hifi chip, and the sound quality is unmatched."

"As for the price..."

"9999!"

"10999!"

"9499!"

Everyone spoke one after another.

Even Boss Jia kept muttering, "9999!"

"Please, it must be 9999!"

"If it was 8999, we wouldn't be able to sell LeTV L60 at all!"

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Give our friends a chance, 9499!"

"Give me two more years of Xingyi Video membership!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was excited, but Boss Jia had a complicated expression:
"Good news, the A60 is not 8999. Bad news, it is only 60 more expensive than our L500."

"Do you think that the 500 yuan price difference will make consumers give up the A60 and choose the LeTV L60?"

The vice president frowned. "It's difficult. It's very difficult. The difference is only 3.5, the performance is 500 times worse, and the storage space is four times worse. If it were me, I would be willing to spend an extra 60 on the Unlimited TV A!"

Other senior executives also spoke:
"I would also choose to add 500 yuan to maximize the performance."

"I've already spent 8999, what's the difference between the remaining ?"

"So we still have to die!"

The vice president sighed: "Unless we lower the price to 7499, a difference of one thousand, users will consider L60, right?"

Boss Jia had a complicated look on his face: "We've reduced the price to 7499, but the profit is only over 500, and I'm worried that Wang Yi will follow suit and reduce the price to 8999!"

"Alas, this is also a big problem. Although the configuration of the Unlimited A60 is much higher than ours, its cost is much lower than ours."

"Yes, the domestically produced screen we bought costs 3000 yuan. The A60 uses a domestically produced screen from BOE. Xingyi Technology purchases a large amount and is the largest shareholder of BOE. It is estimated that the price is less than 2000 yuan."

"They have lower costs, and we can't beat them in a price war."

Boss Jia nodded and said, "Forget it, let's just sell it for 8999. We'll take whatever it takes."

In fact, this is also Wang Yi’s strategy. With the Wujie A60 selling for 8999, LeTV L60 is doomed to fail. It can only start a price war and reduce the price to 8499.

The price of the Unlimited A60 is 9499, which is 500 more expensive than LeTV. So LeTV has a little room for survival. Although it is not much, there is always some hope, and there will be no price war.

Sure enough, the comments were all first-rate:
"It's better than LeEco L60 in every aspect, but only 500 yuan more expensive, so why buy L60?"

"I have returned the L60 and ordered the A60. I don't need the yuan."

"3.5 times the performance, 4 times the storage, all-round improvement, is a great deal."

Looking at these comments, Boss Jia felt cold and helpless.

Wang Yi continued: "Boundless Smart TV A55 and A60 are now on sale, welcome to purchase."

"Next, we will release our second strategic product, Shih-Shi-Da, which will be fully upgraded!"

"In the past, Xiaoshida was limited to the flagship stores and specialty stores of the four brands, Xingyi, Meiyou, Zhenyou and Xingyue. Now it has been fully upgraded and the service scope covers surrounding convenience stores and major chain supermarkets."

"In the future, people can not only order takeout through Ele.me, but also shop online. The nearby supermarkets will deliver the food within an hour, and the fastest delivery time is half an hour!"

"Similarly, Douyin Mall has also launched an hourly delivery service."

“Whether it’s vegetables and fruits, fresh snacks, or daily necessities, just open Ele.me or Douyin, search for Hourly Delivery, and choose nearby stores to place an order, which will be delivered within an hour!”

"It is especially suitable for young people who don't like to make hassles, and users who don't have time to go to the supermarket. Delivery to your door within an hour solves all your worries."

Now, the barrage became lively:

"This function is great. It's troublesome to go to the supermarket and choose the items yourself. Now it's great. Ele.me can deliver the items within 1 hour!"

"This is life-saving! With Douyin's hourly delivery service, I don't even need to go out to shop. The goods are delivered directly to my door. It's so cool, especially on a hot day. I really don't want to go through the hassle."

"I looked around and found that supermarkets around me have them. Some offer free shipping for 39 yuan, and some offer free shipping for 49 yuan. The threshold is really low. Just buy some fruits and snacks. I don't have to run to the supermarket to buy something anymore."

"Before, I had to go to the supermarket, search for it myself, buy it myself, queue up to check out, and then pick it up myself... It took more than an hour to go back and forth, and it was tiring and stressful. Now it's great. I can place an order directly on Douyin Hourly Delivery. I can play games and the goods will be delivered in half an hour. It's great. The delivery fee is reduced, and there are coupons!"

It can be seen that everyone likes the hourly delivery function.
