The first company to hold the press conference was Nokia.
The representative of Nokia was Nokia's marketing director, Jiang Zi.
As a world-renowned brand, Nokia's press conference was exceptionally luxurious.
In addition to the press conference being held at the Hilton International Hotel, hundreds of domestic media organizations were also invited. At the same time, for the guests and invited audience who came to the press conference, Nokia would also give a free one-day experience at the Hilton Hotel.
Needless to say, this kind of high-end press conference was very attractive.
Many well-known mobile phone experts from the Shin-Lang Technology Channel, which cooperated with Nokia, accepted the invitation. These experts also started to promote Nokia's new product launch.
They claimed that this would be a grand occasion where everyone could own a Nokia mobile phone.
Very good.
The press conference at 10am went very smoothly.
After a series of arrangements, Jiang Zi announced that Nokia's new 1100 mobile phone would be priced at 399 yuan.
This price was completely out of everyone's expectations.
Even the mobile phone experts who had been helping Nokia promote did not expect it to be so cheap.
"I can't believe it. I really can't believe it. 399 yuan can buy a Nokia mobile phone."
"A miracle has become reality. 399 yuan for a Nokia mobile phone. Can you believe it? But it's really happening now."
"Tianyu mobile phone is priced at 299 yuan, Nokia is priced at 399 yuan. Nokia is only 100 yuan more than Tianyu. Which one do you choose?"
Do you still want to say it?
If Nokia had asked for more than 1000 yuan, they would have been embarrassed.
Even when the price was lowered to 800 yuan, there was still a big difference between the price of 800 yuan and 299 yuan.
But now, Nokia had raised the price to 399 yuan.
This was not only the lowest price in China, but it was also Nokia's cheapest mobile phone in the world.
"Tianyu mobile phone probably won't stand a chance."
"This time, I'm not trying to brag about Nokia. I'll take the lead and buy one."
"Do we still need to wait for the press conference? I don't think it's necessary."
Nokia's press conference was a success.
Nokia's 399 yuan price was even more explosive.
It wasn't just the mobile phone experts who didn't expect Nokia to drop to 399. Many ordinary users didn't expect it either.
In their eyes, Nokia had always been synonymous with high-end mobile phones.
Even if Nokia was going for the mid-to-low-end route, Nokia was still a brand.
In their eyes, Nokia's brand alone was worth 399 RMB.
Are you not tempted by such a price?
It was said that when Nokia's press conference ended, countless Nokia phone enthusiasts rushed to the major mobile phone stores to buy their phones.
Because they were afraid that the price would increase in the future.
One had to know that Nokia was so willful. They had really done such things before.
However, the battle in the market had just begun.
Nokia only held a press conference first. Even if many users knew about the Nokia 399, how many phones could they sell in such a short time? Moreover, there was a cycle of cell phone sales. Without a certain period of time, even the cheapest cell phone would not be able to sell in quantity.
Therefore, as the successor to Nokia, Huawei was not in a hurry.
At 2 PM, Huawei also held a press conference.
The CEO of Huawei's consumer business, Yu Chengdong, hosted the press conference.
Just like Nokia, it was a luxurious press conference.
In order to promote Huawei's cell phone, they even pulled in several powerful organizations to support them.
Moreover, to show Huawei's technology, Yu Chengdong even released a video at the press conference.
The video showed a few Huawei employees holding Huawei phones deep into the Shennongjia forest.
This place was desolate and uninhabited, with few traces of human activity.
Generally speaking, there was no signal there.
But miraculously …
Huawei was so awesome. In the Shennongjia forest, they could actually make a call to the outside world.
"F * ck, that's amazing."
"There's signal in the forest. Huawei is awesome."
"I knew that Huawei was an expert in processing information. I didn't expect them to use this technology in their phones."
"I want to say that Huawei has stabilized."
Some industry insiders who were more confident in Huawei were optimistic about them.
Although it was Huawei's first time making a cell phone, they managed to pull the price down to the same level as Tianyu's.
What was even more impressive was that Huawei demonstrated their cell phone communication technology at this press conference. Just in this area alone, not to mention Tianyu's, even Nokia's was no match for Huawei's.
Of course, it was not true that Huawei's cell phone would suddenly explode.
But Huawei's goal was not to fully occupy the ultra-low-end market.
Their primary goal was to occupy a portion of the market.
If that was the case, then it could be said that Huawei's press conference had achieved their goal.
"Tianyu's cell phone is really in danger."
"There's Nokia in front, and now there's Huawei. Tianyu's cell phone will at least take half of the market this time."
"I heard that Tianyu Technology is the OEM of Huawei's cell phone. I really don't know if there's water in the head of Tianyu Technology. Look at what happened now. He cultivated such a strong competitor for himself."
Many users who were optimistic about Tianyu's cell phone began to worry about Tianyu Technology.
However, Tianyu's cell phone had created too many miracles. Some people still had hope for Tianyu's cell phone.
"It's too early to say that. Let's wait for Tianyu Technology's press conference."
"When is Tianyu's press conference?"
"I think it's at 8 o 'clock tonight."
"Where will it be held?"
"This … I don't know. They didn't say."
"Forget it. We're not going to the press conference anyway. We'll know when we watch the news."
Many onlookers were looking forward to Tianyu Technology's press conference that night.
However, after waiting for a long time, Tianyu Technology's press conference still had not started.
"What's going on? It's 8 o 'clock. Has it started?"
"I don't think so."
"Isn't it set for 8 o 'clock? Why hasn't it started yet?"
"I don't know. I think they said that Tianyu Technology has no money to pay for the press conference, so they canceled it."
"F * ck …"
The onlookers were stunned.
"Is this for real?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
"Tianyu Technology has sold so many cell phones. How can they not have money?"
Many people did not believe it.
However, at this time, some well-known bloggers on the Internet started to explain the situation in detail:
"I think Tianyu Technology really doesn't have much money. As for the reason, it's very simple. In fact, Tianyu Technology has sold so many cell phones, but because the price is too low, they haven't been making much money. Industry insiders also say that Tianyu Cell Phones is losing money for every cell phone sold. It's normal for funds to be tight. "
"I heard that Tianyu Technology hasn't given up yet. They're still looking for a cheaper hotel to hold the press conference."
"Latest news, latest news. Tianyu Technology originally had a sum of money, but the person in charge of Tianyu Technology said that the price of the cell phone this time will be lowered to 199 yuan, so the entire company's funds are very tight. Wu Kai, the host of this press conference, also said that everything is for everyone's sake. If Tianyu Technology can save a yuan, they will give Tianyu a yuan discount. If Tianyu Technology can save 100 yuan, they will give Tianyu a 100 yuan discount … "
