209: A generous press conference by a big spender.

The power reached a terrifying ten watts!

Can you believe it?

Ten-watt “fast charging”!

In Chen Chen's words, the Fruit Company spent seven years doubling the charging power, and then spent the next decade diligently doubling it again, reaching a terrifying 20 watts!

Now, in the smart phone market, with Chen Chen's little butterfly effect, every company is working hard on charging technology.

Even Samsung equipped its phones released this year with 18-watt fast charging.

Domestic manufacturers using Red Star's public version solution also have a power output of 22.5 watts.

Even opqo

Reached 33 watts, which is about one-third the level of Red Star, making it the fastest among domestic manufacturers.

However, even Fruit's ten-watt “fast charging” is a world-shattering change for many apple fans.

It is a full double increase compared to the previous generation!

How could they not be overjoyed!

Of course, since Ku Liandao provided such high specifications and fast charging, the price certainly wouldn't be cheap.

The starting price for the standard 16G version is 649 us dollar, while the long-endurance version has increased to 749 us dollar.

The starting price for the plus 16GB version is 749 us dollar, while the long-endurance version reached a terrifying 949 us dollar, a full 200 us dollar increase over the standard version.

The price in China has not yet been released, but knowing Cook's nature, it certainly won't be lower than the international version.

When Chen Chen saw the price of the iPhone 6 Plus long-endurance version, he immediately gasped.

He regretted it so much he slapped his thigh.

This Cook really dares to set prices.

If he had known Cook would raise the price by 200 us dollar, he would have definitely demanded 80 us dollar from Cook for his Yangtze River battery 2.0.

Cook: Suit yourself. If you demand 80 us dollar, I'll just raise the starting price to 1,000 us dollar. I can't lose money anyway.

Chen Chen rubbed his sore thigh. “Cook, just you wait. When your two-year contract expires and you want to continue purchasing yangtze river battery cell, see how I fleece you.”

Besides these two mobile phones, Cook also introduced an epoch-making product.

This “epoch-making” claim was made by Cook himself; whether others agreed didn't matter to him.

The Fruit Smart Speaker, a product that did not exist in the original history, was created by the Fruit Company.

Designed by top global designers, personally tuned by Harman Kardon, featuring 6 sound units, supporting multiple languages, and priced at 1,499 us dollar.

Whether it was smart or not was unknown, but it was certainly expensive. Chen Chen estimated only rich people would buy it just to hear some noise.

A speaker produced by Fruit, costing tens of thousands of yuan—it gives face when mentioned.

Looking at the pricing of the Fruit Smart Speaker, and then looking at the pricing of his own classmate xiao xing.

Seriously... the difference is equivalent to two iPhone 6s!

But it doesn't matter. classmate xiao xing has currently sold nearly ten million units in China, and over the past six months in Japan, priced at 100 us dollar, it has sold over two million units.

Coupled with the South Korean market, Southeast Asia, and India, overall sales are approaching 20 million units.

Low prices lead to sufficient sales.

With sales comes sufficient data support.

As for the European and American markets, they demanded that if little star were launched, Red Star must build local data centers and keep the data locally, prohibiting transmission back to China. Ultimately, nothing came of it.

After the Apple phone held their global press conference, the Red Star press conference in Riyadh officially commenced.

At the same time, a translated version of the domestic Red Star X press conference was uploaded to the foreign video website—YouTube.

The video featured a re-translation and editing of the Red Star X press conference, first deleting the shining k10 model, which was not launched in the European and American markets.

And the parts concerning the price were also edited out.

Otherwise, if foreigners saw that China domestic prices were so much cheaper than international prices, they would surely bombard Red Star.

In the splendid Royal Palace in Riyadh, Lu Weiqi looked confidently at the over 500 media representatives from various countries around the world. The last global press conference for the roc mobile phone held in Munich, Germany, did not attract so many media outlets.

Last time, only some local media and larger European media attended; it wasn't as spectacular as having global media gathered together now.

The reason for this was that the Little Prince was very generous.

Food and accommodation were free, airfare was reimbursed, Riyadh's top hotels were booked for reception, and even the customary Red Star souvenirs were taken care of by the Little Prince with a wave of his hand.

Every audience member received a purely hand-made tapestry!

Lu Weiqi calculated that just those hundreds of tapestries alone would cost several million us dollar, not counting other items.

The dog tycoon truly lives up to its name; “rich enough to drip oil” is an adjective domestically, but here, it's a noun.

At the press conference, Lu Weiqi did not pull a phone out of the big screen like Chen Chen did domestically. After introducing the concept of the phone, he readily took out the actual device and began introducing the specifications.

“We name this form, where the front is entirely covered by the screen, the Full-Screen Display!”

“China is an ancient civilization, and the body material of this phone is crafted using China's most famous ceramic.”

“It is equipped with a 5000mAh Yangtze River Super Battery!”

“The wired charging power is 90 watts!”

“It is the world's first mobile phone to support 30-watt wireless charging!”

When they heard the charging power, all the media present simultaneously exclaimed, “Oh my god!”

Especially the media who had just attended the Fruit press conference. Cook had called the 10-watt charging introduced for the iPhone 6 Plus an epoch-making fast charging method for Fruit.

Unexpectedly, Red Star directly achieved 90 watts of power.

Even the wireless charging is three times that of the Apple phone!

They thought the 55-watt charging power on the Red Star roc mobile phone last year was terrifying enough, but after only a year, Red Star introduced an even more terrifying 90-watt charging!

“The starting price for Red Star X is 1,299 us dollar!”

“The starting price for the White Limited Edition is 1,599 us dollar!”

“The Red Star 30-watt wireless charger is priced at 70 us dollar.”

PS: The exchange rate is calculated at 1:8.

“Red Star X will officially be available on the Red Star official website on September 29th!”

“It will be simultaneously launched in Europe, America, India, and Saudi Arabia!”

In fact, before this press conference, many foreign digital enthusiasts already knew scattered information about China designing an epoch-making mobile phone product.

When this phone was truly launched globally and went on sale, many people still couldn't believe it: was this really a phone made by China?

As for the sales in Saudi Arabia, Red Star didn't have a single store or even a channel there.

Abdullah contacted local mobile phone dealers and arranged for them to distribute the Red Star X.

Since he helped so much, it was reasonable and proper to sell it in Saudi Arabia as well.

The first batch of 150,000 units of Red Star X flew from the domestic market to Saudi Arabia immediately after the press conference, awaiting the simultaneous launch on the 29th.
