Chapter 257 Capacity Limitation
Umbrella's mobile phone launch conference directly made many mobile phone manufacturers numb.
There is a feeling that the new products that they have just announced and released not long ago will soon be turned into waste.
Yes, that’s the flavor!
This is Umbrella!
A battery directly reshaped the entire industry, but you secretly came up with so many?
Although they are all breakthroughs and beautifications in details, they do not affect the performance of the mobile phone.
Moreover, the prices of Umbrella mobile phones are also on the high side, so many people still won’t choose them.
But this kind of technology is completely grasped by them, but they are not practical!
You have to be decisive in this regard. Once the board of directors opens, you will introduce Umbrella's new technology without any hesitation.
And the release time of Fruit 6 has been postponed.
They want to ensure that Fruit 6 will not be inferior to Umbrella when it comes out!
Yes, I paid a lot more money, 10% of the whole machine! That’s not even counting the cost of buying the screen and camera! Coupled with the tax imposed by Qualcomm, this fruit that was originally extremely profitable has been severely cut off.
Fortunately, the profits of fruits are already quite high, and a slight price adjustment is acceptable. If the current price of wheat remains unchanged, the price will be directly reduced.
For fruits, if you follow them, you will only make less money, but if you don't follow them, the fun will be greater.
The strongest point about fruits is, after all, the IOS ecosystem and the fruit tax!
It is also a high-end brand of fruit itself.
This is something they will never give up.
At least the plummeting stock price has stabilized as they announced their cooperation with Umbrella. This is the confidence of investors!
They are going in the right direction!
Other mobile phone companies are also experiencing considerable headaches and troubles at this time.
Because Four Star had an original cooperation with Umbrella, they finally chose to pay part of the tax.
The high-end flagship phone fully introduces Umbrella's technology, and it's a given.
There is fruit, and I must have it too!
However, considering the price issue, the mid-range and low-end models still adopt the ordinary mobile phone model, but pay the "IQ tax" part.
You get what you pay for!
Also chosen are Hanwei.
On the contrary, there is no pressure on Maimai. You do yours and I do mine. It’s not a mobile phone in the same world. It doesn’t matter. But I have also given some consideration to the ‘IQ tax’ and chose to add this feature to some mobile phones at an additional price. The original price No.
Anyway, it is not impossible to temporarily adjust the demand mainly for software. For Wheat, which focuses on cost-effectiveness, we need to wait and see the market reaction first.
After all, these days there are more people buying affordable mobile phones costing around one to two thousand!
And as Umbrella’s official website started pre-sale, all parties found out.
This mobile phone is in short supply!
Seconds!
It's a bit similar to what happened with wheat back then.
"Haha! I got it!"
"I'll increase the price!"
"Sure enough, what I was worried about has emerged. After all, Umbrella has just entered the mobile phone industry, and even just entered the manufacturing industry. Their battery has to rely on the acquisition of Ningya to increase production. I am afraid that mobile phones can only I relied on the help of other factories to assemble it, and there are a lot of components.”
"Can't Umbrella provide its own batteries? So does the screen and camera."
"But mobile phones also need chips, motherboards, memory, etc., which Umbrella does not have itself. They can only purchase them. The original production capacity of components in the mobile phone market has been divided up, and the new production capacity must also be grabbed. , so I squeeze out toothpaste and refer to wheat.”
“Besides, Umbrella is still a high-end model, and it’s picky about things. It can’t be used for everything.”
"Sure enough, we still need to have our own factory."
"Actually, Umbrella has acquired a lot, but the integration speed cannot be so fast. Umbrella is already terrible. It has eaten up Neia in such a short time, and it has blossomed in many aspects."
"..."
There are many people on the Internet who feel that Umbrella's mobile phones are the same as the original contact lenses, and they can only wait for the production capacity to increase.
I don’t know if I can buy it when other mobile phones release the next generation.
But after all, while Wang Yi was in Seoul, Umbrella still stocked 3 million units. Although it was not a big deal to release it globally, many people still grabbed it!
After that came Umbrella's unique ritual.
The ceremony was initiated by Ma Dong.
In front of the camera, Ma Dong was wearing casual clothes, showing his thick arms, and his bulging muscles looked quite strong.
The lights in the room were adjusted to a darker point, which immediately caused a group of water friends to shout to stop it.
I have to say that Ma Dong, who has played a villain for many years, does have a bully temperament.
"Brothers, Umbrella's mobile phone, let us test its functions..."
The previous press conference gave a general explanation. Although the relevant tests had been done, it was obvious that it had not been in compliance with all the audience's requirements. As soon as Ma Dong started interacting with the live broadcast, he immediately came up with all kinds of weird and weird questions. request, and many people rewarded it.
Ma Dong also conducted tests one by one according to the fans' requirements, and then they truly understood the power of this 'intelligent system'!
“Oh my God, it’s really mind-reading! I was worried that I wouldn’t get used to it without a home button, but I never thought it would be so smooth, and I don’t have to worry about accidental touches! The fingerprint records and the screen wakes up only after sliding your finger on it! And screenshots , take pictures, turn on the camera and so on, how can I say it, it is silky smooth! ”
Ma Dong was really shocked. He was just interacting with water friends, but he didn't expect the convenience of this phone to be far beyond his expectation.
Then there are all kinds of tricks.
Soak in water, soak in chili oil and beat.
"Others say Nokia is like a brick, but now I think this phone can really hit someone to death."
Ma Dong, who is already strong, exposed his muscles while holding the phone in his hand, making a tapping motion.
"Haha, Brother Ma is so funny!"
“But it’s really strong.”
"By the way, Brother Ma, aren't you going to play the leading role? Is it an undercover film?"
"When are you going to have a baby after getting married?"
"..."
Hearing the concern from fans, Ma Dong also laughed
"It is indeed an undercover film. It's my first time to play the leading role. Besides, your sister-in-law already has a baby and is currently raising a baby..."
……
Not to mention some basic tests on Ma Dong's side, Jiang Bo, another anchor of the World Department, also got an Umbrella mobile phone at this time, and he actually developed new functions of this mobile phone. , a perfect interactive function that can be called king...
"Brothers, it's a fortress! It's really a fortress! Let me show you!"
Jiang Bo excitedly said something in front of the camera, and then put out his new mobile phone. After a while, he leaned on the stand and placed the phone in front of the camera. Then he left his hands and stood beside him.
"Queen Red, open "Star World" and log into the game directly."
Jiang Bo directly gave the instructions.
The Red Queen immediately ran Starry Sky World and then logged in to the game.
"Enter the spacecraft training ground, practice shooting training for ten seconds, and then take the landing module to the nearest asteroid to get a rock sample back..."
Following his series of instructions, everyone was shocked to discover that the mobile phone was actually controlled by itself!
"Damn it! Bring your own plug-in?"
"Script?"
"What a shame!"
"Are there other functions?"
"Can any software control it?"
"..."
In an instant, dense barrage began to flood the screen, and then Jiang Bo signaled everyone to be calm.
"Don't get excited, everyone. The Red Queen is not omnipotent. She only knows how to enter some unpopular software, but does not know the specific controls. But the Red Queen knows how to learn! You can teach the Red Queen how to perform some simple mechanical operations, and her interactive ability is extremely Powerful! As for some mainstream software on the market, the Red Queen knows the basic operations..."
After Jiang Bo finished explaining, he also ordered the Red Queen to perform some mainstream software operations similar to TT.
"The era of lying down and watching dramas with hands completely free has arrived, and these are basic operations. Maybe I can teach the Red Queen some more complex operations."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Bo also took out the Red Queen-V1.0 and entered the system interface and continued
“Also, although this system is Android, it can complete the minimum optimization mode for running apps. I suspect that it uses the technology of World Corporation to ensure that some apps that need to be run in the background do not occupy the running memory, and at the same time, a large number of apps are opened. No problem, you can also split the screen accordingly.”
As he finished speaking, Jiang Bo followed the language prompts and performed relevant operations. He opened four apps, completed split-screening on the screen, and performed several different operations.
By the time this wave of demonstrations was over, the entire network was instantly overwhelmed!
Nowadays, Red Queen-V1.0 has only two shortcomings. The first is that the goods are too small!
Second, the price is on the high side.
Others are almost perfect!
Many people got mobile phones for the first time, both domestic and foreign.
Now that TT is also popular abroad, there will naturally be related unboxing tests.
The functions of Red Queen are all in the details. The more you explore, the more powerful you will feel.
Various exclamations are constantly appearing, and this has also attracted the attention of friends and businessmen.
The fruit technical team’s hair has turned gray.
Okay, keep upgrading!
Fortunately, they had already completed the connection between Red Queen and Siri, so after working overtime, they managed to complete the synchronization of many functions, and then officially announced that the latest Fruit 6 will be launched soon!
It has to be said that the Fruit IOS system itself plus the powerful killer of Red Queen, coupled with some technologies authorized by Umbrella, the overall market competitiveness of Fruit is still quite strong.
Four-star high-end flagship phones are almost following suit, and no one wants to fall behind.
Fortunately for them, although Red Queen took the lead, the impact was still controllable due to production capacity.
After the initial preparations are done, the follow-up is really about squeezing out toothpaste.
In particular, Guoguo and Four Stars were completing negotiations with Umbrella and placing orders while also snapping up other components.
Everyone is doing normal business, and there is no monopoly to buy it all, right?
You Umbrella don’t want to be labeled a monopoly, right?
In fact, other mobile phone manufacturers have not taken any additional actions. Regardless of whether they are competitors or not, whether they are friends or not, they have increased their occupation of high-end chip production capacity!
The output of high-end chips is limited. Although Fruit is a self-developed chip, the production of chips will also crowd out the production capacity of the wafer factory. In addition, other manufacturers are also increasing panic buying and hoarding, so less can be circulated.
After all, they are established partners, and the production capacity that has been booked has been allocated. They will also grab the newly added production capacity, and there is really not much available.
No matter how domineering Umbrella is, it's hard to say that she is driving around with a gun and letting others betray her first, right?
After all, it is not said that they directly grabbed Umbrella's orders. Even Four Star is still willing to use part of its fab production capacity to sell favors to Umbrella, but it just prevents Umbrella from increasing its production capacity!
But Umbrella has never expressed much about this.
These are all normal business practices, come as they are, we are also reasonable and will not lie to you at every turn.
It just increased orders for other components besides chips.
Because many components are already mass-produced in China, there is absolutely no problem with production as long as the orders are given, and there is no such big restriction.
Umbrella's actions also made friends and businessmen a little confused.
Are you planning to purchase lower-end chips to build some mid- to low-end machines?
To be honest, this is a bit inconsistent with Umbrella's current strong character, and she even chuckles about the fruit.
The biggest profit maker is on his side. If Umbrella lowers his status, that would be a good thing...__
