Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 397 [Price of ieP]

On the stage, Luo Sheng put the ieP in his hand back on the runway and pressed the small remote control in his hand, showing the side view of the ieP tablet on the big screen.

Luo Sheng looked back at the giant screen and said to the audience:

"Back to the hardware issue, ieP is also very thin and light, it is only 11.2 mm, and compared to the iPad of the same type, its thickness is 13.4 mm, compared with about .4%, you must know that for such a thin and light Electronics, any compression of space is technically challenging.”

After speaking, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control again and continued to introduce: "The ieP tablet weighs 588 grams, is equipped with a 10.7-inch display, and has ultra-high-quality display technology, which allows you to have a huge potential Viewing angle, super sensitive, super accurate multi-touch technology, the coolest thing is that it is our patented technology of the Riviera, and the iPad will not come out without the authorization of this technology.”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Patents for hardware products are really complicated, which is why Qualcomm gave up making its own mobile devices and focused on chips.

Luo Sheng added with a smile: "ieP tablets are also driven by chips developed and designed by ourselves. Inside the Cote d'Azur, we have a huge R\u0026D team of 2,000 people and the R\u0026D team of Lens Semiconductor. Custom chip, we have a chip called 'Blue Core L3', which is our most advanced chip to date, to power ieP, it contains processor, graphics controller, I\\O And the memory manager and so on are integrated on this chip.”

When the audience heard this introduction, they couldn't help guessing that the price of this product was almost the same as the price of Azure-3, and it was an inexpensive electronic product.

Luo Sheng said: "ieP tablet has the flash memory capacity of B, has the latest wireless link device, and those common configurations such as accelerator, electronic compass, speaker, microphone, etc. will not be introduced one by one, and it can be perfectly integrated. The entire Azure accessories ecosystem, we've put a lot of effort into making this happen."

The last sentence will further stimulate the rise of the Cote d'Azur concept stocks. In other words, some Azure accessories can also be applied to ieP tablets, which is a powerful manifestation of the supply chain and a manifestation of cost savings. Conversely Profits are higher.

"And of course, the battery, how about the battery life of the ieP tablet? The answer is that we achieved 14.5 hours of battery life, compared to hours. This kind of battery life means that I can go from Shanghai to New York on a flight, about A 12,000-kilometer voyage usually takes about 14 hours, so you can enjoy the video the whole way with just one charge.”

Many viewers were happy, and they all said that the gang leader Qiao wanted to beat people, and Apple's shareholders saw the rhythm of wanting to sell their stocks, and they were targeted madly, and it was the rhythm of suppressing the iPad in all directions.

Luo Sheng naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking, he continued: "In addition to the 14.5 hours of battery life, the ieP tablet also has a standby time of more than a month and a half, as long as you put down ieP, it will automatically go to sleep, Xiaolan has excellent The power management ability of her, she can manage ieP for you impeccably. That is to say, it will still have power after we come back a month and a half."

"And on the environmental side, it's arsenic-free, BFR-free, mercury-free, PVC-free and highly recyclable glass panes.

"

Having said that, Luo Sheng bowed his head and was silent for a moment before looking around the audience again:

"So how much should we sell such an excellent product? If we measure it according to its value, we should set it at around 6,820 yuan, or $999."

Hearing this, the audience at the scene, especially those who have the desire to buy, couldn't help smacking their lips. Is this going to be more expensive than Azure-3?

In 2010, as a consumer-grade electrical product, such an offer was really not cheap.

But after a while, Luo Sheng's tone suddenly took a turn: "However, when we were developing ieP, we not only had great ambitions for technical goals and user interface goals, we also made very aggressive prices. Target."

Everyone raised their ears one after another. The issue of price is what many people are most concerned about now.

Luo Sheng said: "The reason is that we want to sell ieP to more people, so I am very happy to tell you that the price of ieP tablet is not 6820 yuan, but 2799 yuan, which is 600 cheaper than iPad. RMB, there is no doubt that this price is easily affordable by many people.”

There was an uproar in the audience. They never thought it would be so cheap. Many people thought it would cost around three or four thousand yuan.

In fact, the comprehensive cost of ieP is controlled at around 1,500 yuan. If it is not for the iPad, the price will definitely rise to 3,000.

Many people off the field began to chat in ear to ear.

Among them, many people in the industry are puzzled: the Côte d’Azur has invested 100 billion yuan to enrich the content of educational resources, and now it seems that it is to empower ieP tablets, so how to recover the cost here?

In fact, it is very simple, and the content is also charged!

However, how to charge is also a university question.

The content below the university is completely free, but after reaching the university, some advanced knowledge has to be paid, and basically online translation is required to read papers and subscribe to top academic journals.

This is a process of "boiled frogs in warm water", step by step and deeply stuck, and the implementation of the following contents in the university for free will bring a trend:

If a student starts to use the ieP tablet to assist learning from his junior high school days, he will basically be inseparable from this tool when he reaches the university.

In other words, user habits and dependencies are firmly established.

If you charge from the beginning, it will make people feel ugly and not worth it. It costs money to buy an ieP tablet, but you need to pay for the content?

Consumers and parents must have opinions on this, but in the college age, parents feel that paying is the right thing to do. Going to college is expensive and should be spent, so it's normal.

The decision-making of large groups is the final result obtained after comprehensive analysis and consideration.

At the same time, Luo Sheng on the stage continued: "We have prepared six versions for ieP, three with built-in WiFi, and three with both versions."

"First, let's talk about the three versions with built-in WiFi. The retail price of the 32GB model is 2799 yuan, the retail price of the 64GB model is 3499 yuan, and the retail price of the 128GB model is 4199 yuan; followed by the three versions with both, the retail price of 32GB is 3499 yuan. , 64GB retail price of 4199 yuan, 128GB retail price of 4899 yuan."

"This is the six model versions of ieP. Starting from the cheapest 2799 yuan, the most expensive is 4899 yuan. I dare to say that such an excellent product can never be cheaper than this."

"Who is for and who is against?"

Luo Sheng suddenly said the last sentence, and the audience and the audience watching the live broadcast of the press conference were stunned for two seconds, and the next moment, the audience burst into laughter.

There was warm applause again.

Consumers did not expect that the new products of the Côte d'Azur this time actually provide so many models to choose from. You must know that the Azure mobile phone only provides two versions for customers to choose from.

With more models, operating costs will inevitably rise, and it will be more troublesome to clear inventory in the future.

But Apple's iPad has been hit hard. The cheapest version of ieP is nearly $100 less than the cheapest model of the iPad, and this time it's a global uniform price.

Obviously, people with discernment have seen that Luo Sheng is going to use the ieP tablet to ruthlessly strangle Apple's iPad.

It's cheaper than yours, you don't die, who dies?

Many industry elites present surprisingly unanimously agree that Apple's stock will fall when the North American stock market opens tomorrow.

The iPad, which was not considered a huge commercial success, now faces such a powerful new enemy that it is ruthless.

Luo Sheng didn't care what the people present thought, but he continued to announce in an orderly manner: "After 45 days, we will simultaneously release the built-in WiFi model version worldwide, and then spend another 15 days to complete the operation of the operator. After the approval process, both models can be released, that is, two months later, the 3G model can be released in late June.”

Hearing this, the industry people present finally understood why the Cote d'Azur will hold a press conference at this time. The second half of June is the summer vacation period, which is closely related to the summer vacation period.

It takes about two months to ferment, so that more parents know about this product, and teenagers will also clamor for their parents to buy this product.

Luo Sheng's smile still remained on the stage, and he continued: "We have also prepared some very beautiful and practical three-piece sets of accessories, the first is a base, the other is more interesting, this is a keyboard base, a full-size can Folding mechanical keyboard, we cooperate with Cherry mechanical keyboard manufacturers, the biggest highlight is the foldability of the keyboard."

Audiences were all stunned when they saw the mechanical keyboard folding demonstration on the big screen. Cote d'Azur provided exclusive hinge technology, and Cherry, the world's largest mechanical keyboard manufacturer, actively cooperated to create this ieP tablet accessory.

It is no exaggeration to say that Cherry Company first held Luo Sheng's thigh and used e-sports to bring the mechanical keyboard back to life, and now it has to take off further.

This mechanical keyboard can be folded three times, and when folded, it is about the size and thickness of an Azure phone.

The audience fell in love instantly after seeing the demo screen, because it is very compelling, and it looks like a high-end thing at first glance.

Luo Sheng continued to introduce the third accessory: "The third one is a very beautiful leather jacket, which can protect your ieP tablet, and can also be used as a stand. It is a good portable base for text input. This is the We prepared a three-piece set of accessories."

Before the words fell, the scene was once again filled with warm applause.

At the end, after the applause came to an end, Luo Sheng wore a complacent smile, and his voice resounded through the audience again.

"OK, let's go back to the first thing announced at the beginning of the conference. We already have more than 200 million Azure mobile phone users, which means that at least 200 million users can easily get started with ieP tablets immediately."

"If you briefly summarize, the ieP tablet uses the most advanced technology of the Cote d'Azur so far, and is used in a charming product, plus its 2799 yuan price, it is definitely the coolest combination. ."

"The reason why Côte d'Azur can make ieP tablets is that we have been trying to take the intersection of technology, free art and education, find the best combination of these three, and then create the most advanced consumer product from a technical point of view , and very innovative elements, simple, easy to use, like to use, and make the product adapt to the user rather than the user adapting to the product.”

"Because of this, we have created such a creative and technologically advanced product as the ieP tablet."

"In addition, we have opened an experience area next to the conference hall. I hope you will touch the ieP tablet with your own hands to feel its power and infinite charm. Believe me, when you hold it in your hand, you will never I will want to use the original things again, thank you everyone for coming to support."

At the end of the final speech, the audience stood up and applauded, and the fans kept shouting.
