Chapter 337: Development of the second generation of Xingyi, Cook doubts his life!
"How to do it?" Cook was interested: "If the Xingyi tablet sells well all over the world, the iPad will suffer heavy losses. We will never allow this!"

Jesse said sinisterly, "As long as we do this... like this... the Xingyi tablet will never sell well!"

The more Cook listened, the brighter his smile became:
"Very good, let's do as you say! This way, it can not only suppress the quad-core Xingyi X1 Pro, but also the quad-core Xphone 1 Pro, as well as other NVIDIA quad-core mobile phones and tablets!"

"Well done! Jesse, if this succeeds, you will be the first contributor. Go and do it immediately."

"Yes, Chairman!" Jesse was in a good mood and had to do this well.

Whether he can be promoted to manager depends on whether he can kill the Xingyi tablet X1pro and xphone 1pro!

Such opportunities are rare and must be seized. We must decisively set up a special team to arrange this matter.

The third generation of iPad will be released the day after tomorrow. He has to prepare this sword for Apple before the release of iPad, the sword that will kill the Xingyi Tablet X1pro!
With the announcement of the sales volume of the Xingyi tablet, which broke the sales record of the iPad several times, overseas media rushed to report it.

For a time, Xingyi Technology caused a sensation around the world, and the popularity of Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets soared rapidly.

Many foreigners who have never heard of Xingyi Technology now know that a company that is more powerful than Apple has appeared in Xia Country.

It launched a series of products that are better than iAPD and iPhone and are hot-selling all over the world.

So they rushed to the nearby Xingyi flagship store, Mayu, Zhenyou flagship store and specialty stores to buy it.

But found out it was already sold out!

However, this out-of-stock situation has further stimulated the enthusiasm of consumers, who have placed reservations in full.

Why did Xiaomi adopt hunger marketing in its previous life and sell so well?

It’s because consumers buy into this.

The more spot goods there are, the more consumers feel that they are not selling well and the less they want to buy them.

The more out of stock a product is, the more popular it seems to consumers, and the more they buy it.

Herd mentality, that's what it is.

What's more, the sales volume of Xingyi Tablet X1 and Xingyi Tablet X1pro is really terrifying, selling more than three or four million, and the product strength is really strong.

The shops in the mall are not far from each other. Looking at the Apple iPad next door, and then looking at the Xingyi tablet with its ultra-narrow bezel, ultra-high appearance, and ultra-high configuration, consumers' eyes are wide open.

This is not a design from the same era, and its appearance alone beats the iPad.

As for the system?

No matter how good Apple's system is, it is not as great as the impact brought to users by multi-tasking split-screen, or as great as the impact brought by the beauty algorithm.

These features have become standard after many years and are not worth mentioning.

But in 2012, they were like a king bomb, which directly destroyed all the advantages of the IOS system.

What's more, IOS2012 in 4 was actually quite average and had little advantage over the newly released Android 4.0.

Even the soon-to-be-released iOS 5.0 does not have obvious advantages over Android 4.0.

It’s not as scary as XUI3.0’s multi-tasking split screen + beauty camera!
Especially female users, as soon as they see the appearance design of the Xingyi tablet, they already want to buy it.

After experiencing the beauty function of the Xingyi tablet in the store, I decided to buy it!
Out of stock, full payment required.

Not only female users can't resist the magic of beauty cameras, many male users can't resist it either.

Many men will use beauty filters when taking photos, as everyone loves beauty.

In addition, most male users are digital fans who are sensitive to parameters and configurations, and many of them like to play games. The large memory, high configuration, high pixel, antifreeze battery, real background and other factors of the Xingyi tablet have made them determined to give up the iPad and buy the Xingyi tablet.

For a time, although the Xingyi Tablet X1 and Xingyi Tablet X1pro were sold out, the number of full payment reservations increased rapidly.

In just one day, both numbers surged by over one million.

The sales volume and full payment reservation of Xingyi Tablet X1 have exceeded 400 million units.

The sales volume and full payment reservation of Xingyi Tablet X1pro have exceeded 500 million units!

This surprised Wang Yi very much. He could only say that the iron triangle of super high product strength + epoch-making design + hot search publicity is always invincible.

Wang Yi has implemented these points to the extreme!

In desperation, Wang Yi could only call BYD's shopkeeper Wang again:

"Boss Wang, we have another huge order. We need to add more!"

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "This is great news. BYD welcomes you very much. I will arrange it immediately."

"Okay, then we will produce as many as possible. We will produce 1 million Xingyi Tablet X1 and 600 million Xingyi Tablet Xpro this month."

The five million Xingyi Tablet X1 plus the two million in stock from last month, a total of seven million, should be enough for global sales this month.

We will continue to produce 1 million Xingyi Tablet X next month, which is enough to sell, so we will have to cut orders and reduce production in May.

The 600 million Xingyi Tablet X1pro units, plus the previous 900 million in stock, total million, which is enough to sell this month!
Next month sales will drop to around 600 million.

Whether it is a mobile phone or a tablet, updates and replacements are very fast, and they are most popular and have the highest sales in the first month.

It will be reduced by one third in the second month, and by half in the third month, and will only get less and less thereafter.

Of course, this is all based on the premise of open supply. If we use hunger marketing and miss the golden period of the first two months, and the production capacity increases but the popularity decreases in the third or fourth months, then it will be useless.

This was the case with Meizu in its previous life. MX, MX2, and MX3 were very popular and sold well in the first two months after they were launched, but they were out of stock.

The product was available in the third month, but the popularity was low and it didn’t sell well.

Similarly, Wang Yi is not sure how long the popularity of the Xingyi tablet will last.

Wang Yi didn’t know how big an impact the subsequent iPad would have.

All he can do is to start taking full payment pre-orders before the iPad comes into the market, lock in as many orders as possible, and at the same time produce frantically to ship as many orders as possible!

Before the heat dies down, achieve the highest sales volume and maximize profits.

In this way, even if the popularity of the Xingyi tablet decreases after a few months, and its global sales drop from 9 million or 7 million per month to 5 million or 3 million, it does not matter.

By then, tens of millions of Xingyi tablets will have been sold and the money will have been made!

In addition, Wang Yi does not dare to underestimate the learning ability of friendly competitors.

The reason why the Xingyi tablet is so popular is largely due to Wang Yi's strategic leadership, quad-core processor, dual 2 million pixels on the front and back, G large memory, anti-freeze large battery, ultra-narrow frame, beauty algorithm, multi-tasking split screen...

These are all advanced configurations that are ahead of the current situation.

But unfortunately, the barriers to these things are not high.

It is not difficult for companies like Samsung and Apple to learn from them. It is only a matter of time before they launch products of the same level.

As the production capacity of NVIDIA quad-core processors increases, dozens of NVIDIA quad-core mobile phones and tablets will be released soon.

Similarly, other competitors can also copy the front and rear 2-megapixel lens modules, G large memory, ultra-narrow bezels, etc.

Even multi-tasking split-screen can be developed by other competitors in a month or two.

The only thing that is a bit difficult is the beauty algorithm, but it is only a matter of time.

For example, if Samsung and Apple want to develop beauty algorithms, they can concentrate their efforts on it in just a few months.

Add to that the time for redesign, and the slow brands will be able to catch up next year.

Fast-trackers like Samsung, Apple, and HTC will be able to catch up in the second half of this year.

As for the arrogant Nokia, Wang Yi was not worried at all.

Nokia still lives in its own world. Giving up Android and following Microsoft's path forever has no future.

But once Apple and Samsung’s new products catch up and compete with Xingyi Technology, it will be a disaster for Xingyi tablets and Xingyi phones.

Wang Yi could only take advantage of the more than half a year when his competitors were catching up and ship products frantically to quickly seize the market.

At the same time, start the next generation of research and development to ensure that as soon as the other party copies the first generation of products, Wang Yi can launch a more advanced second generation of products, thus maintaining absolute advantage and continuing to be far ahead!

Only in this way can we ensure the dominant position and core competitiveness of Xingyi tablets and Xingyi mobile phones and lead the industry trend.

Only then can we make Xingyi Technology a truly high-end company, comparable to Apple and Samsung in the future, or even surpass them!

Thinking of this, Wang Yi went straight to the mobile phone department:
"Changlin, xphone 1pro, Xingyi Tablet X1, and Xingyi Tablet X1pro are all very successful. You have done a great job!"

"It's all thanks to the chairman's leadership. If it weren't for the groundbreaking ideas you proposed, the products we made would be as rubbish as those of our competitors."

Zhu Changlin did not become complacent. On the contrary, the more successful the Xingyi mobile phone and Xingyi tablet became, the more he realized how powerful Wang Yi was.

If it weren’t for Wang Yi’s groundbreaking idea, they wouldn’t have been able to come up with such an awesome product.

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "How is the development of Xingyi II going?"

This is what he came for.

It goes without saying that competitors are all studying xphone 1 and xphone 1pro, following the trend, following the design, following the configuration, following the system...

Xingyi Technology can only move faster.

Calculating the time, the iPhone 5 will be released in September this year, and the second generation of Xingyi will not be too late.

Or release it earlier, in August, to seize the summer vacation and the new school season.

Every year, tens of millions of freshmen have to be equipped with mobile phones, and xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are their choices.

If the second generation is released at this time, it can also target iPhone 5 and grab a large number of users.

Or it can be released after the release of iPhone 5, directly crushing the iPhone 5 and launching a dimensionality reduction attack.

That would be an absolute disaster for Apple.

Both options are good, especially the second one.

After all, the current xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are selling well enough to dominate the market.

After iPhone 9 is released in September, we will launch the second generation of Xingyi, which will be the perfect time to make another attack!

As for Xingyi 2 Pro, it will be released in March next year.

In this way, there will be one show in March and one in September, with a thousand-yuan machine in between.

Three mobile phones a year is enough.

Rather than launching a large number of mobile phones, it is better to control the types of mobile phones like the iPhone, so that each model is classic and popular! For mobile phones, the higher the sales volume of a single model, the lower the diluted cost and the better the system optimization.

Just like HTC, there are so many models that it is impossible to optimize or adapt them all, and ultimately all of them fail and become obscurity in the crowd.

Zhu Changlin took out a mobile phone and said, "Chairman, the research and development of the second generation of Xingyi is progressing smoothly. Look, this is the appearance mold of our second generation of Xingyi."

Wang Yi took a look and proposed some modifications: "Making the corners into curved shapes may increase the cost, but it will feel better. Square corners hurt the hand!"

"Good!" Zhu Changlin continued: "In terms of configuration, the Xingyi II uses Qualcomm APQ8064, a 28nm quad-core processor. It has a 4.7-inch screen, 2G RAM, 720P resolution, dual 800-megapixel front and rear cameras, and a 3000 mAh battery..."

Wang Yi looked at these configurations and shook his head: "The 720P resolution is not good, it's lame, contact Sharp and upgrade it to 1080P directly!"

"What?" Zhu Changlin was shocked: "Chairman, this year's 720P resolution is already the highest for mobile phones!"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "The symbol of Xingyi Technology is X, which represents leading the future and guiding the trend. Our competitors all have 480P, but our Xingyi first generation has 720P. Now everyone has caught up with 720P, so Xingyi second generation must go straight to 1080P!"

"In a word, we, Xingyi Technology, will lead the entire industry and become the benchmark of the mobile phone industry. Others, whether Apple, Samsung, Nokia or HTC, can only follow us and learn from us!"

"Yes!" Zhu Changlin nodded quickly.

Wang Yi continued: "The screen resolution has been upgraded to 1080P, and the lens has to be upgraded as well. The front lens is still 800 million pixels, and the rear lens has been upgraded to 1300 million pixels!"

In a word, increase the stakes across the board.

Zhu Changlin was stunned: "Does the screen and camera need to be upgraded to such a large extent?"

Wang Yi nodded: "Xingyi 3299nd generation cannot be like Xingyi 4999st generation, starting at 5299. On the contrary, Xingyi nd generation is also positioned as high-end, starting at , or even !"

In order to boost sales, expand its scale and raise its popularity, the first generation of Xingyi had to be sold at a low price of only 3299.

But with the hot sales of xphone 1 and xphone 1pro, the Xingyi mobile phone brand has become established and high-end, and it cannot lower its price any more.

On the contrary, Xingyi mobile phones will only remain high-end in the future!
A few years later, it was normal for the digital series to be sold at a starting price of 5999 and the pro series to be sold at a starting price of 9999.

As for the mid- and low-end series, will Wang Yi give up?
Of course not, there are also new mid-to-low-end brands in the mid-to-low-end series.

I just haven't decided on a name yet.

The name Qingyou is not nice, and the name Meiyu is even worse, which will easily lower the grade of Meiyu.

Have to start over again.

But it cannot be associated with Xingyi to avoid lowering the grade of the Xingyi phone.

From now on, Xingyi mobile phones will only have one model priced in the 1 yuan range, which is the xphone , and the others will all start from the yuan range!
"As for the screen size and battery..." Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Xingyi 4.5 will have two models at once. One is a 3000-inch standard version with a 5.0 mAh antifreeze battery. The other is a 3500-inch plus version with a mAh antifreeze large battery."

"This is good, one big and one small, users can choose whatever they want." Zhu Changlin wrote them down one by one.

Wang Yi began to think: "The screen is upgraded to 1080P, the rear camera is upgraded to 1300 million pixels, and the screen size and battery of the plus version are upgraded... But it's not enough. Compared with the xphone 1pro, the upgrade is limited."

Zhu Changlin nodded: "After all, the xphone 1pro's quad-core processor, 2G RAM, million pixels, split screen, beauty algorithm, etc. are all major upgrades."

Wang Yi fell into deep thought, and then said: "Then let's add one more thing, fast charging! Our Xingyi Semiconductor's self-developed power management chip and fast charging chip support 10W fast charging, which is twice that of our competitors. This can be used as a big selling point!"

Zhu Changlin was delighted: "With twice the charging speed and a bigger battery, I no longer have to worry about battery life. It's totally fine."

Wang Yi changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is the tape-out of the three chips going?"

"We contacted TSMC at the end of last month and agreed to tape out on the 8th. George and his team have already gone to TSMC."

"The 8th? The day when the third generation of IAPD is released?" Wang Yi became interested:
"It's a good day. We look forward to the successful tape-out. Once the tape-out is successful, smart home SOC chips, power management chips, and fast charging chips can be fully mass-produced. The next generation of mobile phones can use Xingyi Technology's own power management chips and fast charging chips."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it!" Zhu Changlin was extremely excited.

What could be more exciting than using self-developed chips?

Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "Look at how useless you are. It's just a power management chip and a fast charging chip, not a processor chip."

"Haha, sooner or later we will use our self-developed processor chips!" Zhu Changlin said with a smile.

Wang Yi nodded: "That's true, the Xingyi 2nd generation pro will be available next spring!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Zhu Changlin was in a good mood.

Wang Yi changed the subject and said, "The smart home division can be built faster, starting with research and development. Once the smart home SOC chip is successfully taped out and mass production begins, smart homes can be mass-produced in the future."

Zhu Changlin nodded: "Okay, the smart home department is already recruiting people to build it. But what is the first smart product we will release?"

"AI voice speaker!" Wang Yi said without hesitation: "This is the easiest for us."

In fact, Xiaomi's Xiao Ai is not easy and the experience is not good.

First of all, Xiaomi has no music content, so it has to use QQ Music’s resources and give money to Tencent.

Second, Xiaomi’s AI is not very good. The answers to AI questions were previously provided by Baidu with technical support, and they were very accurate, but they required paying Baidu. Later, the cooperation ended, and Xiao Ai became less smart…

When I ask Siri many questions, Wenxin can answer them perfectly, but when I ask Xiaoai, it becomes "I don't know the answer to this question..."

But Xingyi Technology is completely different.

With Xingyi Music, the content can be perfectly closed internally.

The emergence of Xingyi AI speakers will enable Xingyi Music's membership numbers and market share to soar rapidly, defeating competitors such as QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Kugou.

There is no need to buy third-party technical services for question and answer. Xingyi Technology has the Xiaoi robot, which surpasses Siri and is much better than the current Baidu.

It can be said that it would be a waste for Xingyi Technology not to develop AI speakers with its existing resources.

Wang Yi continued: "We will develop three AI speakers at once. One standard version for mass production. One pro version for high-end. And another professional AI soundbar that will be directly linked to the Xingyi TV!"

"Yes!" Zhu Changlin wrote it down again.

After arranging these, Wang Yi left the mobile phone department.

The next thing will be left to Zhu Changlin.

And he is waiting for the chip tape-out results.

Two days later, on March 3, at two in the morning, Wang Yi was sleeping soundly while massaging Lin Shu's Big White Rabbit.

However, Apple held its spring new product launch conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Cook personally hosted the press conference to release "The New iPad", the third generation of iPad.

The media gathered at the scene, and many Xiaguoguo fans stayed up late to watch it.

With the success of the Xingyi Tablet X1 and X1pro, everyone is curious about what Apple’s new tablet will look like.

It’s really curious whether it’s still as rubbish as the second generation, or has been greatly upgraded, or even surpassed the Xingyi tablet!
Many users have even decided to see if there are any surprises in the third generation of iPad.

If there aren’t enough surprises, just go for the Xingyi tablet!

It’s never a bad idea to compare prices from different stores.

Cook walked onto the stage with a solemn look on his face: "Thank you all for attending Apple's spring conference. We will be launching a brand new iPad! A fully upgraded iPad!"

It can be seen that Cook is under a lot of pressure during this period.

In the summer, iPhone 4s was beaten badly by xphone 1 and xphone 1pro, and its sales plummeted.

The second generation of iPad was crushed by the Xingyi Tablet X1 and Xingyi Tablet X1pro, and both its reputation and sales collapsed!
As a result, Apple's global revenue and sales have declined significantly, and its stock price has continued to plummet.

After Jobs left, Cook had just taken power when this incident happened and the stock price plummeted, which posed a huge challenge to Cook.

Some major shareholders on the board of directors began to have problems with him.

If this continues, he will inevitably be fired.

After all, Old Joe, who supported him the most, has passed away.

Whether or not they can make a comeback depends on today, on the new iPad!

Cook took a deep breath and said: "The third generation of iPad is made of magnesium-aluminum alloy. The front still has a round home button, but the screen has been fully upgraded to a 9.7-inch high-resolution screen."

“2048x1536像素分辨率，264每英寸像素，比友商的星逸平板1920x1200还要高！”

Cook waved his hand and waited for the applause.

This is the third generation of iPad, and it is one of the few areas where it surpasses the Xingyi tablet.

But unfortunately, Cook waited for a long time and no applause came.

On the contrary, everyone stared at the iPad 3rd generation on the big screen with frowns on their faces, looking very annoyed!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Cook was confused. This is not right!

"The resolution of our iPads exceeds that of the Xingyi tablets. Why aren't you applauding? Aren't you excited?"

The barrage has become even more interesting:
"The iPad 3 still has the same wide bezels as the 2nd iPad. It's ugly, just as ugly as the 2nd iPad."

"With its wide bezels, the 9.7-inch iPad III is bigger than the 10.1-inch X1 Pro, which is ridiculous."

"It's just a slightly higher resolution, what's there to brag about? The borders are so big and the design is so ugly, it's unbearable to look at!"

"I used to think Apple's designs were pretty good, but after seeing the products of Xingyi Technology, I can no longer accept Apple's large bezels, large forehead, and large chin!"

"Such an ugly design is rejected at first sight. Can't we learn from Xingyi Technology?"

“I suggest Apple lay off the design department and poach people from Xingyi Technology!”

……

Cook saw that no one was reacting and some were even pointing fingers. His heart sank to the bottom and he had no choice but to continue his monologue:
"The third generation of iPad uses a 30-megapixel front camera and a 500-megapixel rear camera..."

Before he finished speaking, the audience became angry:

"Rubbish!"

"It's still such a rubbish shot, are you kidding me?"

"The Xingyi tablets all cost 30 million for both the front and rear, but yours only costs for the front, so they can't be used!"

"It's over. I don't need to watch the press conference. The iPad 3rd generation is so lame that I can't buy it anymore."

Cook was speechless, so he had to briefly finish the lens part and then move on to the next item:
"All iPads are upgraded with 1G RAM, making them run more smoothly!"

Cook thought, he won’t be scolded this time, right?
Unexpectedly, everyone at the scene was still speechless: "It's only 1G, only half of the Xingyi Tablet X1pro!"

Cook was speechless: "..."

How come this is different from what I imagined?
In previous Apple press conferences, everyone was very enthusiastic and never so picky!
