Of course, the Heaven's Inquisition chip wasn't the only chip.
At the same time as He Tingbo's press conference, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers also held press conferences for their new products.
Similar to Nokia, Sony, and other companies, a group of mobile phone manufacturers also released their latest products.
Based on the previous market trends, many industry insiders were not optimistic about this kind of head-on competition.
This was also very simple.
In terms of product competitiveness, domestic brands could not compete with foreign mobile phone brands.
They could only compete with mismatches.
This mismatch was not only in terms of price but also in terms of timing.
Generally, domestic mobile phone brands would only release new products three months after foreign brands released their new products.
There was no choice.
If they competed with foreign mobile phone brands head-on, they would not even know how they died.
This was just like in Feng Yu's previous life, when Apple released its new products, most mobile phone manufacturers avoided them.
Not many domestic mobile phone brands had the guts to release their products at the same time as them.
But now, it looked like they were going to go all out against the foreign brands.
"Jiang Zi, these domestic mobile phone brands want to compete with Jihai Tactics against us."
"I can see that. Five mobile phone manufacturers are going to hold press conferences today."
"And that Tianwen processor from Huanyu Technologies. It turns out that the chip produced by China Central International was not designed by them. It was designed by Huanyu Technologies."
"That's unexpected."
"Do you have any information on this chip?"
"Not yet."
"Well, let's pay attention to these domestic mobile phone manufacturers' press conferences first."
Nokia China's CEO "Xu Bo" said to his old partner "Jiang Zi".
"These domestic manufacturers' competitiveness has increased a lot."
In the office, the large projection screen was playing Ningbo Guide's press conference.
Xu Bo actually wanted to watch Huanyu Technologies' press conference for their new mobile phone.
Among the domestic mobile phone manufacturers, they did not care much about the other mobile phone brands.
They were most concerned about Huanyu Technologies.
Because in their eyes, only Huanyu Technologies was qualified to compete with them.
But it seemed like Huanyu Technologies did not have any new products yet. It was a pity.
"Well, Ningbo Guide's press conference this time seems to be very big. They even invited the TV station and used a live broadcast."
"It's here. Xu Lihua is introducing their new products."
The two of them stared at the screen seriously.
At this moment, Xu Lihua was holding Wave Guide's latest mobile phone, A50 series.
"The appearance is alright."
"Yes."
"Hey, there's actually a camera. This is a high-end model."
Although Xu Lihua had yet to introduce it, the two of them had an idea just by looking at the design.
For example, the camera in this phone.
Generally, mid to low-end phones didn't have cameras. Phones with cameras that could take pictures were generally high-end phones.
"Tsk tsk, it's still 300,000 pixels."
Hearing Xu Lihua's introduction, Jiang Zi was slightly surprised.
"It also provides Bluetooth, MP3 players, radios, and even memory card interfaces."
"Also, the battery has reached a capacity of 1000 milliamperes."
This configuration was already very high.
"This configuration is even higher than our 6670 configuration."
Based on the configuration alone, everyone would choose the waveguide A50 first.
However, in this world, it wasn't as if whoever had the best configuration would be able to sell well.
Within the configuration, he also had to consider the workmanship, brand, and a series of other complicated factors.
Although the workmanship of Waveguide's A50 was already very good, it was still very good.
Its brand value was far from Nokia's.
This was also the reason why the two of them were still very relaxed.
They had too many dealings with domestic mobile phone manufacturers. If a domestic mobile phone manufacturer wanted to compete with them, generally speaking, the configuration would be better than theirs. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to sell at all. Moreover, not only would the configuration be better than theirs, but the price would also be lower. Only in this way could domestic mobile phone brands attract some users.
"What's left is the price."
The configuration wasn't the main point. The main point was the price.
The two of them were looking forward to Xu Lihua announcing the terminal retail price.
"It should be around 2000 yuan."
Jiang Zi estimated.
"2000 yuan is too high. Who would buy it?"
Xu Lihua shook his head. "If I were Xu Lihua, I would definitely set it at 1800 yuan."
"If that's the case, then they're using high-end phones to compete with our mid to high-end 6630?"
Nokia's 6670 was 2200 yuan, and the 6630 was 1800 yuan.
The configuration of the waveguide A50 was higher than the Nokia 6670. However, if it was only 1800 yuan, there was some competition.
However, Xu Lihua was still very calm.
This was because he knew that if he could spend 1800 yuan on a mobile phone, he wouldn't care about spending a few hundred yuan on Nokia.
Even the 6630, which had a lower configuration, was better than the Waveguide A50 to the general public.
This was not boasting. This was the market test.
"It's really 1800 yuan."
On the live broadcast screen, Xu Lihua listed a price of 1800 yuan.
Xu Lihua smiled. He knew that there was no suspense in this competition.
Even if the new product of the waveguide had some competition, it wouldn't be much of a threat to Nokia.
However, just as Xu Lihua was about to look at the news of other mobile phone manufacturers, a divisor suddenly flashed on the screen.
After the divisor, there was a 2.
In other words, 1800 ÷ 2.
How much was 1800 ÷ 2?
Everyone knew the answer.
900 yuan.
Yes.
The price of the waveguide A50 was not 1800 yuan. It was half of 1800 yuan, which was 900 yuan.
"900 yuan?"
"Jiang Zi, are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
"I think it's 900 yuan."
Jiang Zi rubbed his eyes. He also thought that he had seen wrongly.
However, the figure was clearly written on the screen.
Not only the people on the screen, but the reporters at the scene were also shocked by the figure given by Xu Lihua.
At this time, Xu Lihua read out the figure loudly again.
900 yuan.
That's right.
This was the cheapest mobile phone with the highest configuration in China.
"F * ck, is Waveguide crazy?"
"With such configuration, such workmanship, and such price, aren't they making a loss?"
High-end mobile phones were different from low-end mobile phones.
Low-end mobile phones had all kinds of components and were extremely cheap.
Not only were the components cheap, but the workmanship and materials were also extremely cheap.
Therefore, it was normal for a low-end mobile phone to sell for a few hundred yuan.
However, every configuration of a high-end mobile phone was extremely expensive.
Not to mention the processor, just the camera alone was close to 100 yuan.
There was also the internal memory, 1000 milliampere battery, Bluetooth, and a series of Bluetooth patents.
Oh yes, they also had to pay for the dual SIM and dual standby.
To be honest, the cost of the entire project would be more than 900 yuan.
Even if they knew that the cost of production in China was much lower than Nokia, it was impossible for them to pay this price.
"Impossible, it's impossible."
Xu Bing could not believe it at all.
He felt that this might be a trick by Waveguide.
First, they would set the lowest price during the live broadcast and then attract people's attention.
When people actually bought it, the retail price would be 1,800 yuan.
It might not even be 1,800 yuan. It might be lower than that.
However, even if it was a few hundred yuan lower than 1,800 yuan, Xu Bing could still accept it.
However, 900 yuan was something that Xu Bing could not believe.
"Jiang Zi, when will their mobile phone be released?"
"Just now, Xu Lihua said that when they held the press conference, all the major mobile phone supermarkets in China would be released at the same time."
"Okay, let's go to the mobile phone store to verify its authenticity."
Whether it was 900 yuan or not, they could just buy one at a physical store.
Xu Bing brought Jiang Zi to the mobile phone supermarket on the commercial street in the city center.
"Hello, gentlemen, do you want to buy a mobile phone?"
"Yes."
"May I know which brand of mobile phone you like? Let me introduce it to you."
"Waveguide A50."
"Sir, you have good taste. Waveguide A50 is the latest mobile phone released by Waveguide. Their configuration … "
"Don't introduce the configuration. We know. Just tell us how much it is."
Walking into the mall, the salesperson introduced the specific configuration of the Waveguide A50 to Xu Bing.
However, seeing that the two of them seemed to be very familiar with this mobile phone, the salesperson did not say anything more. "Sir, the price of this mobile phone is 900 yuan."
“900？”
Xu Bing was dumbfounded.
"It's really 900 yuan?"
Jiang Zi also wanted to vomit blood.
How could they compete with such a price?
"Yes, sir. It's really 900 yuan."
The salesperson confirmed.
However, looking at the two of them who were extremely shocked, he seemed to think of something and said, "Sir, how about this? I'll apply to the manager to see if it can be lower."
"How can it be lower?"
At this moment, Xu Bing was about to faint.
"Jiang Zi, is this mobile phone really released by Waveguide?"
"It seems so."
Jiang Zi nodded.
"Why do I feel like it's from Huanyu Technologies?"
Holding the Waveguide A50, Xu Bing only felt that Chen Yu, the price butcher in the mobile phone industry, had appeared in the world again.
He remembered that at that time, Huanyu Technologies used this trick to directly monopolize the sunken market.
This was the most painful defeat for Nokia at that time.
Xu Bing played with it a few more times in his hand and muttered to himself.
But it didn't look like it.
This was obviously a Waveguide brand.
Could it be that Waveguide had also learned the unique skill of Huanyu Technologies?
