Chapter 224 799 Harvesting Leeks, 749 Conscience
The assistant of Lazy Sheep, a top digital fan, ignored it.
But he didn't sit idle; he organized a comparison table, preparing to promote it properly later.
We must seize the right opportunity; we have to wait until these people regret their actions.
In terms of pure configuration, the Enjoy uses the MTK6573, while the Redmi uses the MTK6574.
Redmi appears to be a completely new model, but according to information on MediaTek's official website, its performance is definitely a reverse upgrade.
We'll have to look at the power consumption test later.
The tuning level of the latest chip in the rice may not even be as good as Huawei's tuning of the MTK6573, after all, this chip is a loyal and reliable one.
As for storage, battery, and screen, there's absolutely no comparison.
In summary, before the price was announced, the Redmi was nothing short of electronic garbage compared to the Enjoyment.
After finishing organizing the materials, I sighed silently again.
Seeing the uniform praise on the screen, he sometimes wondered if the rice company had sent someone to clean up the comments...
All I can say is that everyone has their own destiny.
You're bound to fall for something eventually, right?
Lei Jun finally started discussing prices on stage.
A line of text appeared on the big screen:
"A competitor's product sells for 799?"
The screen showed the Enjoy 799 again, along with its specifications.
A four-inch screen, 256MB of RAM, Mtk6573, priced at 799 yuan, while the Pro Max version uses an enhanced version of Mtk6575.
Even Lei Jun couldn't help but praise it on stage:
"This product is truly impeccable."
But his eyes quickly sharpened: "It would be even better if the sect leader's character could be as honest as this product."
Another loud voice came from the audience.
After all, everyone knows that Yu Dazui and Lei Jun are not on the same page and often fight.
Lei Jun paused for a moment: "But..."
The screen switched again, and the imagined scene was instantly compressed, making Redmi the new king.
"The first-generation Redmi features the same advanced processor, a more intelligent system, and the same MIUI experience as the Mi 2 series."
How much do we sell it for?
The audience fell silent instantly. Lei Jun held up three fingers, then lowered them one by one...
"Not 999."
Put one down.
"It's not 899 either."
Another one was placed down.
"It's definitely not 799."
Lei Jun put it down quickly, but the audience felt like an eternity watching that single finger.
Lei Jun perfectly grasped their emotions...
At the height of his emotions, he lowered the last finger.
"749 yuan?"
On the large screen on stage, the health bar, already at 799, was slashed down another 50 points with a move resembling a Fruit Ninja cleaver.
The participating fans began to cheer.
50 yuan? It doesn't sound like much, but this is a budget phone. Most importantly, it's a full 50 yuan cheaper than its competitors' products.
Some people started to stand up and applaud, while many more shouted, "Mr. Lei is awesome!"
Lei Jun stood below the stage and, after the applause subsided, gave them a genuine dose of Lei Jun's inspirational chicken soup.
"Fifty yuan, not much." He switched to his calm yet infectious voice again, "But for many people, fifty yuan is a week's worth of food, or the money to buy two more workbooks for their children."
Workbook?
Many Mi Fans who were still moved in the live stream suddenly changed their attitude.
What does that mean?
Lazy Sheep's assistant posted: "Education can't stop, I suggest buying a few more books?"
"Want to buy a few more?"
"Give me two more copies for my friends whom I've never met."
On stage, Lei Jun continued to gaze affectionately at the audience:
"That 50 yuan difference isn't from the rice company. We cut all profits, all channel fees, all GG fees, and everything else we could to save that amount."
He bowed deeply.
"Dear rice fans, eat well and don't deprive yourselves. The rice company will cover this cost."
If the previous exercise book was meant to be funny, this sentence has deeply resonated with Mi Fans.
Ray's advertising strategy has once again triumphed.
The chat in the live stream also changed its style, from the original jokes to:
"Mr. Lei is truly making a product with integrity."
"749, although the configuration is a bit low, the price is really unbeatable."
I really don't believe he could get stuck after just one year..."
"Upstairs, a year-long freeze? How is that possible...?"
But what these people didn't expect was that being stuck in a rut for a year... was no joke.
Of course... this... isn't a story for later. After all, rice manufacturers squeeze every link in the supply chain to an absurd degree, so the supply they provide...
However, the fans in the live broadcast room and at the scene were still cheering.
"Between Enjoy 799 and Redmi 749, I choose Redmi. Not for any other reason than what Lei Jun said."
However, while there were few calm voices in the live stream, there were still some.
"Is it worth spending 50 yuan more to buy a phone with only 128MB of memory, only to find it becomes incredibly slow after two months?"
Despite the controversy, within the first hour after the press conference ended, Redmi's pre-order page received 50 orders.
That evening, all 100 million units in stock were sold out.
Meanwhile, in Shenzhen, at the headquarters of Huawei's terminal division.
Yu Dazui sat in his office, looking at Redmi's sales figures, without any sense of tension.
On the contrary, Liu Jiangfeng, sitting next to him, seemed a little worried.
"Four hours, one million units. Lao Yu, should we retaliate?"
"Fight back." Yu Dazui was amused by Liu Jiangfeng's words. "Fight back at what? Fight back at a phone that sells only 128MB of memory."
As Lei Jun said, this is the configuration of a feature phone.
But Liu Jiangfeng was still a little panicked.
In terms of hardware, the Enjoy series completely outclasses Redmi. In terms of price, there's a 50 yuan difference. At worst, the Enjoy series can just forgo making a profit on that 50 yuan and start a massive clearance sale at a loss.
Actually, he started clearing out his inventory.
"The Enjoy 2 series is all ready and will be released in December. If we weren't worried about affecting the Honor 3, we could have released it this month."
到时候28nm的K3v1，256MB起步，最高512MB内存，4GB的存储。
A four-inch 800×480p screen, a 2000mAh battery, and you're selling it for 999…
He turned to look at Liu Jiangfeng: "What do you think Redmi has to compete with us with?"
Liu Jiangfeng was still a little hesitant, after all, Lei Jun was cultivating the market...
"But Redmi has already sold 100 million units."
"So what?" Yu Dazui remained seated, still with that calm and collected demeanor. "One million units, that's big news for rice."
But what does it mean to Huawei?
The Enjoy series has now shipped 4800 million units.
Redmi sold 100 million units in just a few hours, but what's next?
He leaned back in his chair, his gaze towards Liu Jiangfeng shifting slightly; he missed Old Zhao…
