Chapter 179 Honor G2 released

After the contract between Honor and Qualcomm was officially signed, the restrictions on the use of other chips in the terms were removed, which was of little significance. Therefore, Honor G2 can use the MSM7201A chip from Texas Instruments and Qualcomm at the same time. In history, HTCG1 used this chip.

Originally I didn’t want to launch the Texas Instruments chip version of Honor G2 so early, but in order to cooperate with operators, we need to communicate in advance. The mobile company learned about this mobile phone that has not yet been mass-produced, and was shocked by the beauty of “IPhone 4”, and will purchase it for the Olympics. 5 TD mobile phones, 4 of which were given to Honor G2, a mobile phone that has not yet been released.

Qu Li really didn’t want to take it. The order was too small and would affect the company’s strategy. The TD baseband chip consumes too much power, and the CMMB chip realizes the useless function of watching TV on a mobile phone, which seriously affects the user experience of Honor mobile phones and will harm the brand value. But one sentence made it difficult for him to refuse: This is for the Olympics!

"Add $50 to our retail price!" Qu Li gave such a condition. He thought it would scare off China Mobile, but unexpectedly he agreed anyway. He didn't know who would have such courage!The original $499 mobile phone is now $549. Even with the contract price, it will be $199 higher than the iPhone's $50 price.

Qu Li dared to shout out such a price because of the soaring cost. It is not difficult to make a mobile phone like IPhone4. If it were not for the cooperation with BYD, Wang Chuanfu was willing to take a gamble. He would not have been able to make it in 2008. to this matter.

As for whether there is any gap with iPhone 4, of course there is. Qu Li is not a obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, and he is not an obsessive-compulsive person. He is about 4-9% of the level of iPhone 10.Don’t think it’s unrealistic. You may need to pay more to go from 1 to 9 than from [-] to [-].

Unfortunately, the screen resolution is currently the best 480x800, and the retina screen cannot be mass-produced.The classic three-construction design of Google Android and the appearance of iPhone 4, but the ultimate beauty brought by simple lines is enough to shock people.

Although the order for 5 mobile phones is not something that domestic mobile phone manufacturers are greedy for, the meaning behind it is worth pondering.So they called China Mobile one after another and launched attacks on the Internet, questioning whether there was an inside story.

“We are all waiting for the official release of Honor G2!” China Mobile spokesperson said.

This undoubtedly put Qu Li and other Honor executives under tremendous pressure. The team responsible for Honor brand building has not yet been formed. Fortunately, some Accenture employees are still there, and a man named Gao Yushan proposed to hold a new product launch conference in the Great Hall of the People.

"This is an epoch-making product, worthy of spending money to promote it around the world!" Gao Yushan was even more excited than Qu Li. It was so exciting that a medium-sized mobile phone company could actually create such an excellent mobile phone.

That is to say, iOS is not yet mature, and the user experience is about the same as Android. If you ignore the security issues of Android, Honor G2 can really be said to be an epoch-making product.

YouTube global live broadcast, Great Hall of the People press conference, inviting partners such as Google, BYD, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Qualcomm, T-mobile, Hutchison Whampoa, China Mobile, etc., as well as Ma Yun, Rebus, and Xiao Ma Brother, I also have friends from the entertainment industry such as China Film and Television.Qu Li gave Gao Yushan this opportunity and asked him to be responsible for organizing this event.

Perhaps because of the Olympics, there are a lot of celebrities from all walks of life in Beijin. Bill Gaiden, who announced his resignation in June, actually came to Beijin. Google's Schmidt, SpaceX's Musk, and Facebook's Zuckerberg were all willing to attend. .

"Are you willing to show SpaceX and Tesla to Chinese consumers?" Qu Li asked Musk, a kid who is still struggling and will be struggling for a long time.

"Of course!"

"Then you go up and talk about my press conference."

"No problem!" So Musk prepared the PPT before arriving in Beijin

Large-scale publicity requires money. The press conference will be held in China, but the focus of publicity is in the United States. Various traditional media soft articles, Internet celebrity reviews, and sales must be included. At the end of July, Honor’s press conference began to warm up.

8月8日是奥运开幕，8月5号星期二下午02:30，荣耀将在人民大会堂召开新品发布会，正式对外发布HonorG2。

"Once again, change everything!" This was the theme of the press conference. I borrowed the concept of Apple's iPhone and compared the various current mobile phones. Then I started to boast about Honor G2: "This is a mobile phone that has moved from science fiction to reality, and is a global The best products jointly created by the best technology companies have reached the limits of current technology and process manufacturing capabilities!"

The entire speech was delivered in both Chinese and English. There were dedicated simultaneous translators and several business leaders who were willing to take the stage. For example, Mr. Boatman promoted BYD Electronics Factory and cooperated with Qualcomm to enable Honor G2 to produce three mainstream 3G standards. mobile phone.

Due to the supplier's production capacity, Honor can only provide limited mobile phones in the early stage, and only 3G mobile phones. In China, it currently only provides TD-standard 3G mobile phones, which are all purchased by China Mobile and sent out.

At the end of the press conference, Musk took the stage when Qu Li was looking forward to the future, showing SpaceX's several failures. Huge fireballs ignited, and the photos were full of money.The Tesla Roadster sports car purchased by Qu Li also became one of the protagonists of the conference.

The press conference is over, and the super-good-looking Honor G2 is still on sale for the first time on T-mobile in the United States, scheduled for Singles’ Day on November 11.The selling price has not been announced, but Gao Yushan will spread various rumors. For example, the production cost of Honor G11 has increased significantly, and the market retail price will increase by US$2. However, after the official release, it only increased by US$100, giving consumers an experience that exceeds expectations. .

Originally, T-mobile and other companies wanted to place orders directly, but for the sake of Lehman Brothers, Qu Li refused the good offer and let's talk about it first. He would not sign contracts with several major operators to push up the price unless Lehman Brothers was driven away. Honor's stock price.

Therefore, capital is bloody, and Qu Li is not as pure and kind as Dadongzi. Fortunately, Dinghui and Wei Gang understand him and support him in driving away Lehman Brothers as a shareholder.Who made Lehman do it in the first year of junior high school and directly sell Jumei's shares? No wonder he did it in the fifteenth year.

Andrew finally took the initiative to find Qu Li to surrender, but he did not want to join Xiangcai Securities.

"I helped you find a few Chinese elites who are willing to return to China to join Xiangcai Securities. My friends and I are willing to cooperate with you, but the premise is that we must maintain freedom."

"When you talk about cooperation, let me invest in you, or do you mean something else?"

"Our investments in Zhongguo are all very good assets, and we want to set up a private equity fund to acquire these assets..."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"We are willing to help you buy back Honor's shares at the original price..."

“I can buy it back at a discount, why should I buy it back at the original price?”

"Honor has released the Honor G2, which is an epoch-making mobile phone. I think you don't want to waste your time betting on Lehman's bankruptcy..." Andrew is very smart.

"This is not enough!" Although Qu Li was seen through by Andrew, who allowed him to take the initiative and plug many loopholes?

"We are willing to assist you in acquiring Xiangcai Securities and give up our controlling stake in this private equity company, but we must retain management rights."

"it is good!"
