113: Press conference ended

Chen Chen looked at the audience with a feigned look of helplessness. "Well, it's not that I can't give them away..."

"How about this? After purchasing our red star bracelet, everyone can pick out another silicone wristband for free at the store. Does that work?"

"President Chen is awesome!"

"Give us another one!"

"Well, we still have many different materials for the wristbands for you to choose from. Let me finish first, okay?"

"In addition, we've specifically designed wristbands for men, as well as a low-key luxury model for female students that can wrap around the wrist multiple times."

"There's also a genuine leather version. It uses the same Italian imported calfskin as the kunpeng phone 2 ultimate collectors edition, and it's quite beautiful."

"In my opinion, if a smart bracelet is just a fitness tracker, only a niche group of people will use it."

"What if the bracelet could interact with our other devices?"

"What if the bracelet was our identity ID? Just like in sci-fi movies where an identity chip is implanted into the human body, and wherever you go, the equipment there recognizes you."

"The first application we've developed is phone unlocking. When we're wearing the red star bracelet and open our phones, there's no need to enter a password. Since everyone unlocks their phones so many times a day and enters passwords forty or fifty times, it's really annoying."

"Once you start using the bracelet to unlock your phone, you really can't go back. Sometimes, if I forget to wear mine, I'll even go back specifically to get it."

"It also supports incoming call vibration to prevent everyone from missing calls when their phones are on silent."

"At the same time, our bracelet supports linkage with other Red Star devices. For example, with our Yeelight bedside lamp, you can set it to turn off the lights automatically when you sleep via the Xing Family app, or set our Red Star electric fan to shut down automatically during sleep."

"These are all very practical and useful features."

"So, how much does a bracelet like this cost?"

"199!"

"129!"

"159!"

All sorts of prices were shouted from the audience, but one thing was consistent: in everyone's eyes, the price of this bracelet wouldn't exceed 200 yuan.

"Foreign bracelets sell for about 800 to 1,500 yuan, and some domestic ones sell for between 200 and 500. I've seen many people online hoping we'd sell it for 199, or even 129."

"This time, we've put in every ounce of effort we have!"

Then, two red digits appeared on the big screen—99!

*Clap clap clap...*

Instantly, applause thundered through the entire venue.

"Whoo-hoo!"

"99!"

"Red Star is awesome!"

Chen Chen enjoyed the cheers of the audience. The red star bracelet was basically the same as the historical Xiaomi Band 1, but the Xiaomi Band 1 wasn't released until 2014. His red star bracelet was a full year ahead of them, so it naturally had to be a bit more expensive.

"Perhaps some of you might say that while the bracelet can provide call and message alerts, it doesn't have a screen. How would you know who's calling, or see the message content just by raising your hand?"

"Building on the red star bracelet 1, we also have the red star bracelet Pro. It features a custom 0.45-inch OLED display screen, allowing us to check messages with ease."

"By lightly touching the circular button on the bracelet, you can easily view your step count, time, heart rate, mileage, and other information. The display content is also customizable."

"Because of the added screen, it can provide more alerts. When our phone gets a call or message, or a notification from a specific app, it can vibrate and display the message content when you raise your wrist."

"The red star bracelet Pro has a built-in 120mAh Yangtze River Battery, with a standby time of up to 40 days and over 3 weeks of daily use."

Finally, the price of the red star bracelet Pro also appeared on the big screen—299!

This price was settled after a long discussion between Chen Chen and Zhang Feng. The total cost of one red star bracelet was 84 yuan, so selling it for 99 yuan still left a profit, and the cost would decrease as sales volume increased. However, the cost of the bracelet Pro was much higher, nearly 190 yuan.

Therefore, Chen Chen did not choose to price it close to cost. Huaheng Company, which produced and developed the bracelets, needed profit to have enough funds to research and develop newer technologies.

Red Star couldn't blindly suppress prices; that wouldn't benefit sustainable development in the future.

After introducing the bracelets, Chen Chen turned to the audience and brought out the final product of this press conference—a robot vacuum from Shitou Technology.

Speaking of this company, Chen Chen always felt like he had found a treasure. Several of their Engineers specialized in vision solutions, and the founder of Shitou Technology, Li Lei, even went so far as to want to build a robot vacuum with a robotic arm and a pure vision solution that could handle large trash.

However, because the technology wasn't mature enough, a prototype had yet to be built.

But Chen Chen certainly affirmed and supported this idea. Future robot vacuums would move toward comprehensive automation and integration. Before he transmigrated, Shitou Technology had already launched a vision + radar sweeping and mopping robot.

As for a robot vacuum with a robotic arm that could automatically pick up trash, Chen Chen hadn't seen one yet.

"Our robot vacuum... the brush head uses... the battery uses..."

As Chen Chen introduced it on stage, the audience indeed seemed a bit uninterested. To put it bluntly, at this stage, a robot vacuum was just a walking vacuum cleaner. Even though Chen Chen set the price at 2,000 yuan, which was much lower than foreign brands.

"It supports voice control via classmate xiao xing to clean specific rooms and also supports remote control via phone for spot cleaning. In addition, we've built in a very rich and fun set of voice packs for the robot's voice."

Finally, Chen Chen announced the price of this robot vacuum: 2,099 yuan, with a limited-time discount making it only 1,999 yuan.

"Once again, thank you to all the fans and media friends for attending our Red Star new product launch. As per tradition, next is the session for distributing souvenirs."

"The souvenir Red Star has prepared for everyone this time is the red star bracelet!"

"Please collect yours at the exit with your ticket code. Thank you everyone, this press conference is now over!"
