Chapter 836 3 Hours, 5 Million Units? The First Accident Car of Yaoguang E1!
The FreePods Bluetooth earbuds, featuring true wireless connectivity, independent earbud connection, and a charging case, along with an ultra-thin laptop running Aurora Genesis OS, attracted the attention of nearly 50 million viewers worldwide in just half an hour with only two new products.
The live streams on Mimo, Douyin, and Kuaishou all had at least ten million viewers, and network latency was extremely severe.
Clearly, Orange Technology's new product launch event was well-designed, leaving users with the impression of a tech powerhouse.
Whether it's the standalone A2DP link solution or the domestically developed PC operating system, both have stirred the passion of Chinese netizens, who are filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.
The conference hall erupted in thunderous applause and was filled with a deafening roar of voices.
Wang Teng looked at the people below the stage, smiled slightly, and tried his best to remain calm and composed.
Next, he had to introduce new products from the MagicBook, Orange Pad, Qingcheng, Orange and Yaocheng series. After the venue quieted down a bit, he pressed the controller and switched the LED screen to display a high-definition CG image of the MagicBook 5.
Similar to the AirSlim X1, the MagicBook 5 also uses Aurora Genesis OS, but it uses a mechanical hard drive. The price remains at 3999 yuan. It is a volume-boosting product from Orange Technology, used to increase the market share of the operating system.
It features an Intel i7 4710MQ quad-core, eight-thread CPU, 8GB of Kunpeng memory, 256GB of Kunpeng mechanical storage, a 14-inch 1080p IPS screen, a dual-fan, dual-copper-pipe cooling system, and an 80Wh battery, providing up to 8 hours of battery life.
The MagicBook 5, on the other hand, is only 3999 yuan!
Compared to the AirSlim X1, the MagicBook 5's design and performance are slightly inferior, but as an office machine, the MagicBook 5 offers exceptional value for money.
With the start of the new school year just around the corner, it's easy to imagine how popular the MagicBook 5 and AirSlim X1 will be among students in the coming week.
Therefore, many of these young people who are about to enter university have used Qingcheng mobile phones, Lingxi search, Mixue ice cream, and Kuaipao canteen. Their goodwill towards Senlian Group is almost deeply ingrained in their minds.
After they graduate, if they have certain needs and economic foundation, they will most likely buy home appliances from the Orange Ecosystem, as well as houses developed by Orange Construction and new energy electric vehicles produced by Orange Auto.
Doing business is a lot like being a person. Treating customers with sincerity will subtly cultivate a continuous stream of potential customers for yourself.
Viewers in the live stream chat typed rapidly, sending out comments in a flurry.
"6! They're really sincere; the price hasn't gone up by a single penny, it's still 3999 yuan!"
"The memory modules are all products from our sister company. Compared to previous generations of MagicBook, the gross profit margin of MagicBook 5 is definitely much higher than that of the fourth generation."
"Logically speaking, Orange Technology should lower its prices!"
"Screw your MagicBook 5! With those specs, another brand could easily sell it for 5999 yuan, believe it or not!"
"The MagicBook 5 is too heavy, almost three pounds heavier than the AirSlim X1. If you have the money, it's more worthwhile to buy the AirSlim series."
"As a student, I'm instantly a fan. I'll definitely buy it when it goes on sale."
Comments scrolled by rapidly. The special report on Toutiao garnered over three million likes and shares in just sixty seconds.
"Orange Technology's mission is to enable more users to experience the charm of a domestically developed operating system at an affordable price, and to bring Aurora Genesis OS into every household. Technology should not be out of reach!"
Wang Teng's voice carried throughout the entire hall through the speakers. As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to the company slogan on his chest: "Let technology change lives!"
If it were another company, netizens might not believe it, but Orange Technology has always been working towards this goal set four years ago.
Orange Technology's product line focuses on the mid-to-high-end market, but it has never abandoned the low-end market.
Why are the Qingcheng D3 SE (priced at 499 yuan) and Qingcheng D3 Pro (priced at 899 yuan) selling so well?
Is the product excellent enough?
Neither!
The core issue is that users in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas really need Qingcheng.
Given their income level, buying either the Orange series or the Shiny Orange series would be a real struggle.
Green oranges must be made!
Rather than leaving the market to counterfeit phones, we might as well take it all for ourselves!
Following that, Wang Teng launched new models of the Mos and Alexa smart speakers, and the Mos Mini version was also updated to the second generation.
The Orange B4 smart bracelet and Orange Watch 3 were also unveiled, with optimizations and improvements made to their original functions.
Two hours have passed by now.
Wang Teng spoke fluently and at length, but even with his rich experience and fluent speech, he was still sweating profusely, and a small patch of his shirt was soaked on the back.
He breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the screen controller again, and a Qingcheng D4 with a 5.0-inch IPS 720P touchscreen appeared in front of the audience.
Compared to the Qingcheng D3 SE, the Qingcheng D4 has very few changes at the hardware level.
It features a 3-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a Tiangong C200 processor, a 2800mAh battery, and supports BOX integrated sound chamber and Fast Charging 2.0 fast charging.
The only bright spot is that the memory configuration has been changed to 2GB plus 8GB.
Fifteen minutes later, when the price was announced, the entire audience gasped in surprise once again.
499 yuan!
Maintain the price standard of the Green Orange D3 SE!
This price is even more aggressive than the Honor 4A that Huawei announced two months ago. With almost the same configuration, it is 100 yuan cheaper, making it more affordable than counterfeit phones.
Lei Yijun and Zhu Fanghao, the head of Coolpad Dashen, exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
It's worth noting that the Coolpad Great God Note3 and Redmi 2 Enhanced Edition are also priced around 599, 649, and 699 yuan respectively.
The Qingcheng D4 has driven the price of the low-end market to rock bottom in one fell swoop!
In fact, if Chen Yansen wanted to, he could even make a cheap phone for 399 yuan with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage.
But then he reconsidered and gave up the idea of creating electronic waste.
Although users of the Qingcheng series don't have high requirements for performance, battery life, photography, and gaming, app developers have always been unscrupulous and love to treat users' phone memory as their own distributed storage space.
An app can take up hundreds of megabytes of storage space in just a few months, causing users to worry about running out of memory, and this trend is getting worse.
Therefore, if Orange Technology continues to reduce the specifications of its Green Orange series, it will easily be eliminated by the times.
After introducing the Qingcheng D4, Wang Teng then brought out an upgraded version with a 5.7-inch 1080P screen – the Qingcheng D4 Pro.
This phone features a Tiangong C300 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an 18-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, a built-in 4010mAh high-capacity deep blue battery, and supports dual SIM dual standby and 4G LTE high-speed network.
Based on the Qingcheng D3 Pro, the RAM has also been increased, and the price remains the same at 899 yuan.
Other mobile phone brands would start at 999 yuan, with prices generally ranging from 1099 to 1199 yuan.
The Qingcheng D4 at 499 yuan and the Qingcheng D4 Pro at 899 yuan are Orange Technology's strongest competitive advantage in the lower-tier market.
Other brands really can't achieve this level of material cost!
Orange Technology is here!
Because the core hardware such as CMOS sensor, lens group, battery, and processor are all self-developed and self-produced, and the screen is supplied by BOE, and Orange Technology holds 17.9% of BOE's shares, making it the largest shareholder, it can naturally get the best supply price.
In addition, Orange Technology also oversees the production, manufacturing, and after-sales processes itself.
Orange Technology sells the same product for 499 yuan and still has a 10% to 15% gross profit margin on hardware. If someone else comes in, they will lose money on the spot.
Wang Teng followed up by introducing the Orange C5Max and the Yaocheng X3 Ultra, mainly upgraded versions with improved cameras, memory, and Moss voice assistant.
Orange Technology's consistent principle is that the full-fledged version of Aurora Future OS and Moss Voice Assistant will only be available to the Yaocheng series.
Even the Orange series has to use a slightly newer version, not to mention the Green Orange series.
On the one hand, it is to maintain the product advantages of the Yaocheng series, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the user experience. After all, software follows hardware. If you force it without the necessary conditions, you will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but it will also easily cause system lag.
In terms of configuration, the Orange and Shiny Orange series are unlikely to make any breakthroughs for now; they can only optimize the hardware.
Fortunately, the pricing is moderate. The price of the Orange C5Max standard version only increased from 2,699 yuan to 2,799 yuan, while the price of the Yaocheng X3 Ultra standard version increased from 4,888 yuan to 4,988 yuan.
Wang Teng explained that there have been breakthroughs in Moss Intelligence, with the 3.0 system offering better interactivity and comprehension, and even the ability to communicate with users via text and voice. However, in multilingual environments, the latency is quite severe.
However, by 2015, Moss Voice Interaction 3.0 was already the strongest in the industry.
According to internal testing results, Moss voice assistant still far outperforms Siri, Google Now, Cortana, Echo, and S Voice from Sanxing.
As for Huawei's Xiaoyi and Xiaomi's Xiaoai, they are essentially descendants of Moss, just imitations copied using speech analysis development tools.
In addition, the Orange C5Max and the Shiny Orange X3 Ultra have removed the headphone jack, giving them an edge in waterproofing.
Users who want to play audio can either use the speaker or a Bluetooth headset.
When Wang Teng put down the Yao Cheng X3 Ultra, the sky outside the window was gradually darkening. He had talked non-stop from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., for three and a half hours, without taking a break.
"Thank you everyone. Orange Technology has prepared a gift bag for each attendee. Please present your invitation at the entrance to collect it."
Wang Teng said with a smile.
Ultimately, the live streams on the three major short video platforms attracted a total of over 60 million viewers.
If it weren't for the fact that it's Wednesday, a weekday, the number of viewers would probably be even higher.
In terms of influence, Orange Technology's press conference was just as popular as Apple's and Shanxing's.
After speaking, Wang Teng walked off the stage somewhat unsteadily, took the bottled water handed to him by his assistant, and gulped it down.
Seeing this, the surrounding reporters hesitated for only 0.01 seconds before rushing forward. It wasn't that they didn't want Wang Teng to rest, but rather that there were some questions that only Wang Teng was willing to answer.
People like Chen Yansen and Zhou Shouzhi either don't come to press conferences, or they disappear as soon as the conference ends.
"Mr. Wang, what are your sales expectations for the new products? The ecosystem of Aurora Genesis OS is not yet rich enough. Do you think users will accept the AirSlim X1 and MagicBook 5 after abandoning the Windows system?"
"Mr. Wang, the Qingcheng series has always used a low-price strategy to seize the market. Will this affect Orange Technology's brand premiumization process?"
"Mr. Wang, is the new model available globally? I heard that Orange Technology doesn't have any directly operated stores in India, only distributors. Do you have any plans to build a factory in India in the future?"
The reporters bombarded the questions with questions.
Chen Yansen greeted Ge Yue, Lei Yijun, Park Jae-soon, Yu Chendong, and others, and then the group left the conference center and drove to a nearby hotel for a dinner.
Of course, the public relations department also prepared a travel allowance and writing fee for media reporters.
At 6 o'clock sharp, the sales link for the new product went live immediately and was launched simultaneously across all channels, including multiple platforms such as Orange Mall, Pinduoduo, Yaomao, JD.com, Gome, Kuaipao Flash Sale, and Dangdang.
As for offline and overseas markets, we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
When Chen Yansen returned to Yujing Villa, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"Have you been drinking?" Ye Qiuping heard the noise and stepped out of the elevator, only to see Chen Yansen walking towards her.
A faint smell of alcohol lingered in the air.
Before Chen Yansen could reply, Master Ye continued, "Would you like me to make you a bowl of hangover tea?"
"No need, is Chenpi asleep?"
Chen Yansen waved his hand and said.
"I've been waiting for you." Ye Qiuping covered her mouth and smiled faintly.
Chen Anqiao is a good girl in every way, except that she is too attached to Chen Yansen. If Chen Yansen doesn't come home at night, she will stay up until the early hours of the morning before she can fall asleep.
As a result, Chen Yansen deliberately reduced his social engagements. He used to often come home after midnight, but now he usually comes home at nine o'clock.
When I don't have any social engagements, I get home promptly at 5:15.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yansen chuckled, then unbuttoned his shirt and stepped into the bathroom.
He didn't want the smell to affect his daughter.
On the other side.
Orange Technology's various new products have been available for online sale for three hours, and the in-stock items have already been snapped up, with pre-orders already booked for three days later.
in the country, Orange phones have a stronger market appeal than Apple phones.
Overseas, Orange phones and Apple are considered evenly matched, but Apple is actually gradually losing ground.
Therefore, with the support of hundreds of millions of fans, 5 million mobile phones were sold in just three hours.
In the domestic market, three hours and 5 million units—that's a bombshell news story!
at the same time.
Long queues have already formed outside Orange Smart Living stores in Annam, Temasek, Siam, the Arctic, and the United States.
All these people are here to grab a starting position!
Some are driven purely by faith, wanting to be among the first to experience the latest versions of Moss intelligent voice assistant and Aurora Future OS system; others are driven by equally pure faith, wanting to buy the products immediately and then resell them to unsuspecting buyers.
For wealthy people who didn't manage to buy the Shiny Orange X3 Ultra, no one is willing to wait even a few days.
Just like the annual "Collect Five Blessings" event, even though everyone knows that the final share will only be a little over 100 yuan, the "Dedication Blessing" can be sold for a sky-high price of 800 or 1000 yuan on the first day.
Having something that others don't has is also a form of ultimate psychological massage!
Domestic netizens were stunned when they saw so many foreigners queuing up with tents in overseas regions.
They knew that Orange phones also sold well overseas, and last year they surpassed Apple to become the world's second-largest mobile phone vendor.
But they didn't expect that these foreigners would be willing to queue up outside the store half a day in advance just for a mobile phone.
After all, people used to queue up to buy apples!
Times have changed, and many people are still not used to these changes.
The next morning.
Chen Yansen went to work as usual. As soon as he arrived at the company, he received a news article forwarded by Wang Chao.
The above content states: A driver of a Yaoguang E1 in California died in a car accident on his way home. The battery caught fire, and the cremation was completed on the spot.
"Boss, the traffic safety association has launched an investigation. This is rather unusual."
Wang Chao reminded him with considerable vigilance.
