With the introduction of HX2 and Moudle, Hongxin's mobile phone sales increased once again. The more personalized gameplay and modular combination made people who pursued fashion and personality unable to put it down.
However, in terms of sales, it could not be compared to the HX2 integrated smartphone. After all, most users only wanted simplicity and convenience. They were too lazy to think about how to assemble the mobile phone modules.
…
In Apple's China headquarters, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as it was a few weeks ago. There were no smiles on the faces of the senior management. Some scary changes made them feel a huge crisis.
A few days after they made the announcement against Hongxin, Apple's mobile phone sales increased. However, in the second week, the trend turned into a decline!
In the meeting room, Morris frowned. In front of every senior management, there was an HX2 mobile phone.
He said, "There is a saying in China, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!' You have all experienced the Hongyun Intelligent Voice Assistant in HX2, right? Now, tell me your thoughts. How does it compare to SIRI? "
Everyone fell silent at this question. They still remembered that a few weeks ago, they looked down on Hongxin's so-called Intelligent Voice Assistant. They thought it was just a dumb software that could only make sounds.
However, after trying it out, they realized that Hongyun Intelligent Voice Assistant seemed to be better than Apple's SIRI.
No one dared to say this out loud.
"Taylor, what do you think?" Morris asked one of them. Taylor was in charge of Intelligent Voice Assistant. Before he was sent to Apple's China headquarters, he was a famous person in the AI field in the US.
Previously, he was certain that Hongxin's Intelligent Voice Assistant was a joke and there was nothing to worry about. However, reality slapped him in the face. Hongyun Intelligent Voice Assistant was even changing the user's habits. It made the Intelligent Voice Assistant, which was previously treated as a decoration, into a popular feature.
Taylor hesitated for a while and said, "Hongyun has exceeded my expectations. It is more advanced than SIRI."
When he said this, everyone was shocked. Could it be that Apple had been surpassed by a Chinese company in the high-tech field?
Taylor continued, "Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to say it. Scarlet Cloud's intelligence was no longer limited to rigid language communication. Instead, it could use some functions according to the user's needs. This is something that we have been trying our best to achieve, but we have not been able to achieve. "
"In two days, I will return to America and conduct in-depth research on the Red Cloud Intelligent Voice Assistant at the headquarters."
After Taylor finished speaking, Morris's mood became even worse. He asked, "Li, you predicted this before. Do you have any way to deal with it?"
Li shook his head and said helplessly, "This is a technological lead. I think the most feasible way is to let our intelligence reach the same level."
What he said was equivalent to not saying anything. Everyone knew that it was impossible to increase the "intelligence" of an artificial intelligence in a short period of time.
"At least for the next six months, we won't have any new technology that can be applied to the current Apple phones. But Hongxin not only has Red Cloud, but also introduced the compatible HX2 and Moudle phones. We have no advantage in the market competition! "Morris raised the most serious issue they were facing now.
Ever since Apple entered the Chinese market, their sales had never dropped so fast!
Morris wanted to get some opinions from everyone, but no one could think of a feasible way to salvage this situation.
However, this was not the worst. When the Chinese market's smartphone sales were released last month, they felt what it meant to be crushed!
The authoritative organization announced the last smartphone sales in the Chinese market. The number one smartphone was Hongxin's HX2!
The second was Da Mi's latest smartphone, which had just been installed with the Super Android system provided by Hongxin Software Technology Development Co., Ltd.
As for the HX2 and Moudle phones, although their sales did not make it to the top, they still sold close to 800,000 units in a month. It could be said to be the best selling modular phone model in the world!
In comparison, the sales of other phones of the same price dropped. Hua Wei, which had the highest number of shipments last year, had a drop in sales. Although Samsung was the fastest to reduce their prices, they were also affected.
The worst was still Apple phones. They had issued a notice to ban the use of their IOS software on Hongxin's operating system and sued Hongxin Company. This had attracted a lot of users and software developers.
In the first week, everyone still preferred Apple phones.
But after Hongxin's voice assistant was introduced, everyone realized Apple phones were nothing. This HX2 was much better! Also, Hongxin could help software developers develop Hongxin's operating system and give them all sorts of benefits.
The performance was better, and the price was cheaper than Apple's new models. It was also more user-friendly. In comparison, users naturally chose Hongxin. That's why Apple's smartphone sales dropped by half last month!
That's right. It was a full half. This was an outcome that no one had expected! Last year, Apple's monthly sales in the Chinese market was 4.25 million units.
Last month, their sales were only 2.1 million units! This was a steep drop in sales!
Morris's initial confidence had turned into doubt, and now, it was fear! This drop in sales was equivalent to tens of billions of sales!
This was the first time such a problem had happened since he became the head of Apple's Chinese market! In the past few years, no matter what the sales were, the results he reported to the headquarters were always increasing. But now, for the first time, Apple had lost half of its sales in the Chinese market to Hongxin!
In his office, Morris covered his forehead. He did not want to look at the data report on his desk.
But a video call notification interrupted his thoughts. Someone was calling his Apple account on his Apple computer.
It was Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple and one of the most influential technology figures in the world!
Morris picked up the call and saw Cook's unhappy expression. He was wearing glasses, and his hair was white. His weak body exuded a faint majesty, which made Morris feel a little scared.
"Morris, I saw the report from the Chinese market. The board of directors and I are very disappointed!" Cook's tone was calm, but Morris could feel the anger in it.
"Do you know? Last month, our Apple phones had achieved the top sales in the North American market again. Just when we were celebrating, we received such news from you. It's terrible! "
"I just want to know the reason behind this."
