Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 524 sales broke records, China Cool Alliance is facing a formidable enemy!
Lao Li continued: "That's still good. After 1 minutes of booting up, the XOS system's 700G RAM still has 2M left, while our MIUI 600G RAM only has M left!"

"!!!" The MIUI manager twitched his lips: "Damn, these damn background startups are all Android's fault!"

"The problem with the underlying Android system is that it is inherently flawed. It is definitely not due to the poor optimization of our MIUI department!"

Lei Jun waved his hand and said: "It's meaningless to say this. When the first generation of Mi 1 came out, Mi 2 couldn't sell at all. Let's sell it in India. I hope Mi 3 will be less affected."

Lao Li waved his hand and said, "The Xiaomi Mi 700 is equipped with the Kunpeng 1 SOC. Its performance, configuration, and screen are much better than the first generation of the Ultrawide. Its price positioning is also at the same level, so it's not a big problem."

"That's good!" Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and was filled with emotion: "With the launch of the Wujie mobile phone, not only will our Xiaomi 2 have a hard time selling, but I guess all the copycat and feature phones will be killed!"

"That's for sure. Who would buy a copycat or feature phone when they can buy a borderless smartphone at a similar price? The era of copycat and feature phones has been ended by the borderless smartphone, which is a big step forward."

"I can only say that Director Wang is a man who can accomplish great things. This is a stroke of genius!"

Lao Li was also filled with emotion, and even wondered if he had chosen the wrong camp.

If I join Xingyi Technology, there should be better development, right?

As for Lei Bushi…although he is also very good, I always feel that everything is a beat slower…

Meizu headquarters.

"999, how freaking insane!" Old Huang frowned:

"There's nothing we can do. The 1799 Meizu MX2 has similar performance to the first generation of the Ultrawide, and it's not selling well. We should send it to Polar Bear as soon as possible. They still like our Meizu phones very much, so we'll continue to sell the MX3 in China."

Lao Bai also nodded: "After the release of the Wujie 999, it is difficult to sell mobile phones below 2000. It is still wise for us to strive for 3 for Meizu MX3999. Even if the sales volume is reduced, the profit is high! Even if the price is reduced later, there is still enough profit space."

"That's right. Meizu will continue to make mid-range phones and not low-end ones. There is no profit in the low-end."

Director Li of the Marketing Department suddenly had an idea: "Chairman, if we also release a thousand-yuan phone, will the sales also increase dramatically? Will it be a complete hit?"

Old Huang looked at the other person as if he was a fool:
"Let's not talk about anything else, just take the configuration of the first generation of Unbounded. Calculate the cost and profit of Unbounded Technology. Then calculate how much it would cost for Meizu to make it? How much profit would it make?"

Director Li quickly opened his notebook and started calculating, and finally came to a conclusion:
"Unbounded Technology is large in scale, and the prices of components are kept to the lowest. The processor is self-developed, and the material cost is about 500 yuan. The total cost of marketing, after-sales, etc. including tax is 600 yuan. The customized machine is priced at 999 yuan, with a profit of 400 yuan. In addition to the 200 yuan customized machine subsidy, the subsequent software fees, advertising fees, and accessories profits, the total profit of its own channels exceeds 700 yuan."

"After distributing to dealers, the profit was reduced by 100, and the remaining marketing cost, the profit of Unbounded Technology was about 620+!"

"Meizu is small in size, so the cost of components is higher. We also have to buy processors. To make the same first-generation Unbounded, if we make it at a size of 1 million, the material cost would be 750 yuan. If we make it at a size of 700 million, the material cost would be around yuan."

"We are small in size, so the dilute R&D costs are high, and the marketing costs are also high. The total cost including tax is about 850-900 yuan."

"If it's sold for 999, I can make a profit of 100-150 yuan through my own channels. Add the subsidies for customized machines, and I can make 300-350 yuan. It's completely possible to make small profits but quick turnover."

Old Huang waved his hand and said, "200 yuan subsidy? You wish!"

"The Wujie mobile phone has a large volume, many stores and channels across the country, and it is likely to sell hundreds of millions of units a year. The three major operators are willing to subsidize 200 yuan for customization."

"Meizu's scale is only 500-1000 million, which is only one-tenth to one-twentieth of others. Let alone a subsidy of 200 yuan, even a subsidy of 100 yuan, the three major operators may not be willing to give us that."

Director Li nodded: "Yes, but even if the subsidy is 100, plus the subsequent software income and advertising income, there can be a profit of nearly 250-300 yuan, which is also very good."

Old Huang poured cold water on him again: "What if Wang Yi starts to lower the price, and the first generation of Unlimited goes down to 799?"

Director Li's face changed drastically: "Then we can only lower the price to 799. We will lose 50-100 yuan for each unit sold. We can only rely on subsequent advertising income and subsidies to barely make up for the losses. In the long run, we can only have a few dozen yuan of subsequent income..."

"Then how come they can lower it to 699?"

"That will be completely unprofitable. Our Meizu thousand-yuan phones cost 850-900 yuan, and we sell them for 699 yuan, so we lose 150-200 yuan per phone. Add in subsidies and subsequent income, and we will continue to lose money. It's unprofitable..."

Director Li broke out in a cold sweat and completely faced the reality.

Huang sighed: "If the volume of thousand-yuan phones is small, they will just lose money. There is no need for Meizu to make them. Unless we can also sell tens of millions of thousand-yuan phones a year, there is hope of not losing money. But this is too difficult, very difficult!"

"I see. It was my fault for not considering it carefully enough." Director Li nodded and said no more.

What he didn't know was that a few years later in his previous life, Meizu did produce the Meizu Blue series of thousand-yuan phones, which achieved annual sales of 2000 million, but unfortunately it still made a loss.

Meizu Blue's workmanship, quality control, and design are better than Redmi's, so its cost is naturally higher. Even if it sells 2000 million units a year, it will still lose money on every unit sold.

It can only rely on promotion subsidies from the Alibaba Cloud system, as well as subsequent income from app stores, games, system advertisements, etc. to subsidize the losses.

But unfortunately, Meizu is not good at management. These subsequent profits were originally settled to Meizu in proportion after Alibaba acquired a stake in the company and was responsible for operations.

Later, Meizu took over and operated the business on its own, but found it difficult to handle the business.

In order to stop the loss, Huang finally came out again and killed the entire Meizu series!
Without the continued losses of the Meizu Blue series, Meizu's profits are higher.

Similarly, without the support of the 2000 million sales of the Meizu Blue series, Meizu fell from the altar and its sales plummeted.

In addition, several subsequent models were dragged down by MediaTek, and their performance lagged behind other flagship phones, and the final result was hard to describe.

After all, MediaTek at that time had not yet become a legend and was far behind Qualcomm.

But Wujie Technology is different. Even the servers belong to the parent company. It also has a mature system laid by Xingyi Mobile Phone and can share many resources with Xingyi Mobile Phone.

As for the revenue from the app store, games, and marketing promotion, Wujie Technology does not have to handle it itself. It can directly connect to the Xingyi mobile phone system and be handled by the Xingyi mobile phone operation department.

Finally, regular settlement will be made with Wujie Technology based on the revenue situation.

It’s not like Meizu, which operates its own business but doesn’t know how to use it.

The relationship between Wujie Technology and Xingyi Technology is just like that between Honor and Huawei in the previous life.

Honor can have everything that big brother Huawei has.

The same goes for the Unbounded mobile phones. Whatever the big brother Xingyi mobile phone comes out with, will be gradually transferred to the Unbounded Note series in the future!

Even the front-facing touch fingerprint recognition of the xphone 2 pro and the borderless note in November will be directly standard, and the Kunpeng 700 will also be launched.

Of course, the price of the Ultrasurf Note will be much higher than that of the first generation, starting from 2999.

By then, the xphone 700pro, which is also equipped with Kunpeng 1, will have to be discontinued, otherwise it will be difficult to sell.

The xphone 1 pro has the same processor as the unicorn, similar configurations, but does not have fingerprint recognition.

By then, the price of the Ultrawide Note will be 2999, and even if the price of the xphone 1 pro is reduced to 3499, it will not sell well. It would be better to stop production directly and let the Ultrawide Note take over.

After all, the sales volume of Wujie Note is higher and the profit is also higher.

That’s right, the profit of the 2999 Wujie Note is higher than that of the 3499 xphone 1 pro.

The reason is simple. The two have similar configurations, but the Ultrawide Note uses a large number of domestic components, so its cost is naturally much lower than the imported components of the Xphone 1 Pro.

By then, xphone 3 will be released and xphone 2 will drop to 3999, becoming the gatekeeper of Xingyi mobile phones.

As for the xphone 1, the 999 xphone 1 was discontinued before the release of the 2499 Wujie 1st generation, and slowly sold out all the stock, thus retiring.

After all, it was a phone released two years ago and it’s time to discontinue production.

Wang Yi made the borderless phone mainly to quickly promote the XOS system, and he did not intend to make much money at first.

But I didn’t expect that the three major operators would be so powerful in attracting users and making customized phones!

There is no other way. Customized machines priced between three and five thousand yuan are available from all major brands, and you can customize them from any brand.

However, customized thousand-yuan phones have the largest volume and the strongest sales, and currently only Xingyi Technology makes them, leaving the three major operators with no choice.

Especially China Mobile, in order to promote the difficult-to-use mobile 3G, it spent a lot of money to make customized TD phones, with a subsidy of 200 yuan per phone.

Seeing that China Mobile had taken action, China Telecom was not willing to be outdone. China Telecom had even fewer users, so it had to make customized phones to attract users. It also turned to Unbounded Technology to make customized phones for China Telecom, and also provided a subsidy of 200 yuan for each phone.

Originally, China Unicom did not want to make customized phones for Wujie. Wujie phones are all network compatible and their hardware is compatible with China Unicom's 3G. To put it bluntly, if China Unicom did not make customized phones, it could get free stuff from the other two companies.

But who would think that China Mobile and China Telecom are not stupid. They have spent their own money, so how can they let China Unicom get it for free?
So not only did they make a borderless customized phone, they also blocked China Unicom's 3G!

In desperation, China Unicom had no choice but to turn to Xingyi Technology and spend money to make customized phones for China Unicom.

So the first generation of Unbounded was released in four versions!
The full network version is 100 yuan more expensive, but because there is no 200 yuan subsidy, the profit is 100 yuan lower than the customized version.

This can be regarded as Wang Yi’s last persistence.

Fortunately, there is no number portability these days. Those who use China Mobile generally stay with China Mobile, and those who use China Unicom generally stay with China Unicom.

In addition, all the borderless phones are dual-SIM dual-standby, and China Unicom customized phones can also use China Mobile 2G, but they cannot use China Mobile 3G!

Therefore, customized machines also sell well.

Xingyi Technology Headquarters.

Zhu Changlin walked in excitedly: "Chairman, the sales of the Unbounded mobile phone are so good. In just one hour, the sales volume has exceeded 200 million!"

Wang Yi was not surprised: "It's normal. We have sufficient supply and the price is super low. It would be abnormal if it's not selling well."

Zhu Changlin nodded and said, "Fortunately, we have more than 1000 million units in stock, otherwise we wouldn't be able to keep up with the hot sales. I estimate that the annual sales of the first generation of Unlimited can reach 1 million units."

"It's not a big problem, maybe even more." Wang Yi was full of confidence.

In the past, Redmi phones did not have such sufficient stock, and despite the early hunger marketing, annual sales still exceeded 70 million units.

There is no way. Redmi phones lost money in the early stages, with a loss of dozens of dollars for each unit sold. Naturally, Lei Jun would not sell them freely.

It was not until a few months later when component costs dropped and Redmi phones started to make a profit that they began to be sold freely.

Xiaomi has always followed this path in its early days.

Even so, sales still exceeded 70 million units.

Now, there are more than 10 million units of Unbounded Mobile Phones in stock from the start, and the supply is open, so the efficiency is naturally higher.

Although the first generation of Redmi 200 is yuan more expensive than its predecessor, its configuration is also higher.

The performance of Kunpeng 500 SOC far outperforms Redmi's MediaTek entry-level processor.

The terrifying improvement of XOS system also beats Redmi's Android. In addition, Redmi has 4G storage space, while the first generation of Wangyi gives 8G directly.

These upgrades make the performance of the first generation of Ultrawide at least twice that of Redmi, making it worth the 1 yuan higher price.

The simplest thing is, when playing large mobile games, Redmi cannot open the high-definition picture, but the first generation of Ultrawide can.

Therefore, Wang Yi is confident about the sales forecast of Unbounded 1:
"It is now June, and the next six months will be the hottest period for the sales of the Unbounded mobile phone. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the sales volume of the first generation of Unbounded will exceed 80 million!"

"So many?" Zhu Changlin was shocked.

He believes that with 60 million in the second half of this year and 300 to 400 million in the first half of next year, it would be good if he could sell 100 million units a year.

Mobile phones are updated very quickly. Sales in the first six months after a release account for 60%-70% of the total sales. In the next six months, if sales can reach 40% due to price cuts and promotions, it is considered good.

Even the Xingyi mobile phone has the same sales cycle.

"It's not a big problem. Sales will definitely be good in the first six months. But after six months, it's hard to say." Wang Yi said meaningfully.

"Six months later..." Zhu Changlin frowned slightly: "Chairman, do you mean that our competitors may also make this thousand-yuan phone?"

“It’s not just possible, it’s certain!” Wang Yi said with a smile, “Meizu and Xiaomi are small in size, they probably won’t do it, it will cost them a lot of money.”

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In its previous life, Xiaomi used the Redmi phone to put an end to the thousand-yuan phone market and rose rapidly.

But Xiaomi failed to rise in this life, and the trend of thousand-yuan phones was snatched away by Wang Yi, so it can only be regarded as the second Meizu.

It is even doing worse than Meizu. After all, Meizu has been developing for many years and has many senior employees.

These people don’t buy Xingyi phones, they all buy Meizu phones.

But Xiaomi in this life does not have this honor.

"But if you count the China Cool Alliance, it won't be long before they all make thousand-yuan phones."

Wang Yi said: "Huawei and ZTE in particular may already be discussing the development of 1,000-yuan smartphones, which will be launched at the beginning of next year. Coolpad may also launch next year, and Lenovo is a little slow to react, so it will probably be the year after next. But none of the four giants of China Cool Alliance will be missing!"

Zhu Changlin understood the reason instantly: "Yes, our Wujie mobile phone is not only targeting copycat phones, but also feature phones. And China Cool Alliance is the four giants of feature phones! The sales of their four smartphones are not that high, and more than half of their sales are from the customized feature phones given away for free when you top up your phone bill!"

"Now that the Unbounded smartphone has been released, the price of 999 has directly killed the feature phones of China Cool Alliance, making their feature phones unsalable. If they don't make thousand-yuan smartphones, the sales of the four giants will be halved!"

"Yes, Meizu and Xiaomi are small in size, but they are both smartphones. The foundation of China Cool Alliance is still feature phones. Now that feature phones have been killed by borderless phones, China Cool Alliance has no choice but to either cut sales in half or make thousand-yuan phones!"

Wang Yi laughed and said: "Therefore, next year there will be at least three thousand-yuan phone brands competing with us."

Zhu Changlin's expression became serious. "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we still have an absolute advantage. The research and development of Unbounded 2 will be in the hands of the Unbounded department, and I will personally monitor it. However, Unbounded 2 will not be released until June next year. I am worried that by the beginning of next year, China Cool Alliance will have the latecomer advantage, and Unbounded , which has been on the market for half a year, will not be able to withstand their attack."

Wang Yi nodded: "This worry is necessary, but it's not a big problem. At the beginning of next year, the price of Unlimited 1 will drop directly to 799, or even 699. Kill them!"

"As for the 2nd generation of Ultrasurf, it will be launched in the middle of next year, priced at 3 for the 799G version and 4 for the 999G version! Keep working on it!"

“If we can reduce the price of 4G mobile phones to 999 yuan, then it will be completely stable!” Zhu Changlin breathed a sigh of relief.

"The launch of the Unbounded mobile phone is not to make money, but to seize the market and promote the XOS system. Naturally, we cannot be defeated by our competitors." Wang Yi continued:

"The second half of the year is a window period for competitors' thousand-yuan phones, which is the best period for the development of the XOS system. In the next six months, we must make the XOS system an operating system that can keep pace with Apple and Android."

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin nodded: "Then let's show off our muscles?"

"Show it off!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

By flexing its muscles, those application developers who have not adapted to the XOS system will be shocked and will actively adapt.

At present, the hot searches on major platforms are all monopolized by Unbounded Mobile Phones:

[Boundless smartphone is priced at 999 yuan, with performance comparable to iPhone 5, a quad-core smartphone that is affordable to everyone! ]

【Xingyi Technology launches a 999 yuan borderless smartphone, which will completely put an end to copycat phones and feature phones! 】

[The release of Unbounded 1 is an important turning point in the history of mobile phone development! ]

……

As soon as these news came out, the entire Internet and the whole country were shocked.

Even the older generation, who didn’t pay much attention to smartphones, are starting to pay attention.

In the past, smartphones cost thousands of dollars, and the older generation felt that at their age, there was no need to spend that much money, and that a feature phone or copycat phone worth a few thousand yuan would do the job.

But now, I heard that a quad-core smartphone is only 999, with very strong performance, and it is made by Xingyi Technology!

Why are you still hesitating?
They all ran all the way to the nearby Xingyi flagship store and specialty stores, took out money and bought it!

A similar scene happened simultaneously in urban areas and rural towns!

There is no other reason, the Xingyi store is opened directly in the towns and villages!

I went to buy a borderless TV before, 40 inches, for 2999, and it came with a lot of eggs as a gift. People were so happy that they couldn’t stop smiling.

Now there is another 999 smartphone!
This is truly a benefit to the common people!

It would be unacceptable not to buy one.

There was even an old man who was worried that the store would disappear if he missed it, so he bought two at once!
It's just crazy.

Soon, another piece of news shocked the entire Internet:
[The Unbounded mobile phone sold 200 million units in one hour after its launch! 】

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

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

"Fuck, they sold two million units in one hour. It turns out that 999 is the highest sincerity."

"If it's priced at 1999, I'll dislike its 1GB RAM. If it's priced at 2999, I'll dislike its poor screen. But if you're selling it for 999, then I can only say it's a steal! Buy it! You must buy it!"

"Two million units sold in one hour is not surprising. I directly contributed three units. There is nothing I can do. Everyone in my family is still using knockoff phones!"

"For 999, I can't even buy a Nokia. But I can buy a more powerful borderless smartphone. It's really good!"

"This is my first smartphone in life. Thanks to Mr. Wang. If it wasn't this price, I would still be using a knockoff phone!"

"Me too, I cried. I will remember my first smartphone for the rest of my life."

"To benefit the general public and make smartphones affordable for everyone is the role model for entrepreneurs. I've become your fan, and I'll be your fan for life."

"Mr. Wang, when I was a student, you sold me the Ultrasurf phone for 999 yuan, which allowed me to experience smartphones and the XOS system. I am grateful to you. When I start working and make money, I will buy the entire Xingyi Technology family package."

"That's right. When I make money, I will buy a house and all the appliances will be Xingyi smart home appliances!"

"Oh my god! Our store is out of stock. All 300 units sold out in one hour. We are waiting for restocking."

"The mobile phone store near my home was out of stock, so I bought one online."

"It's crazy, don't hesitate if you want to buy it."

"Family members, have you ever seen someone snatching mobile phones? I saw an old man snatching five phones. I suspect he is a scalper!"

"It's possible. Even scalpers can't keep calm when buying such a cheap wireless phone."

……

Two million units sold in one hour!

Not only did netizens get excited, but many app developers were also excited.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense can know that the annual sales volume of Unbounded mobile phones definitely exceeds 100 million units!

The number of XOS system users will also expand even more rapidly!

Now, those software developers who originally didn't care about the XOS system and didn't want to adapt to it have changed their attitudes and actively contacted Xingyi Technology for adaptation.

So much so that the XOS system department began to work frantically.

Wang Yi was in a good mood watching this scene, but he felt it was not enough:

"We should also promote it in the international market. Let foreigners see the strength and future of our XOS system. Then, some overseas application manufacturers will start to actively adapt!"

"Okay, Chairman." Yang Yan responded.

What the XOS system lacks most now is the adaptation of overseas applications, which is also a major problem for the future internationalization of the XOS system!
As for the domestic market, Wang Yi is not too worried.

Especially in June, the Prism Gate incident is about to break out, right?

Wang Yi couldn't say for sure what day it would be or whether it would be postponed.

But such a big thing can't just disappear into thin air.

Once it breaks out, the XOS system will surely become popular.

Xingyi mobile phones, Wujie mobile phones, Xingyi TVs, Xingyi tablets and Wujie TVs equipped with XOS system will also sell better!

Wang Yi was looking forward to this.

Huawei headquarters.

A heated debate took place internally.

Yu Dong said righteously: "As soon as the Wujie mobile phone was released, all Huawei feature phones were unsalable, and it was even questionable whether they could be sold. But the sales volume of smartphones is very limited, so we must make a Huawei smartphone priced at 1,000 yuan!"

"That's right. Only by making thousand-yuan smartphones can we make up for the lost sales of feature phones. Otherwise, our volume could be reduced by half, or even 60%!"

But some people refuted: "It's short-sighted! Making a thousand-yuan smartphone can indeed increase sales, but it is also easy to lower our Huawei's brand positioning. Our Huawei smartphones are all over 2000, or even over 3000. Once they are sold for 999, they will be useless!"
