106: Chapter 106 You fucking release eight different phone models in one month?!

This was also quite possible.

Huawei and Honor, after all, were legacies of the previous Huayao.

It was perfectly reasonable for Bai Jingqing to continue developing these two brands after taking over Huayao.

It was a very logical thing to do.

So, at the beginning, Xue Haixin didn't take it to heart.

Subsequently, Huayao released another phone, the honor v8.

This time, the launch event was still not hosted by Bai Jingqing himself.

Instead, it was a man named Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was also a new employee recruited by Bai Jingqing.

In his previous life, Yu Chengdong and Zhao Ming were respectively responsible for the mobile phone business of Huawei and Honor.

Therefore, by handing Huawei and honor phones over to them,

Bai Jingqing could rest easy.

With these two brilliant talents under his command,

he could secure the world with just one of them,

let alone having both of them in his stable.

Zhao Ming hosted the release of the honor v8.

The phone's screen used a 5.7-inch TFT material,

was equipped with a Kirin 950 octa-core processor,

and featured dual 12-megapixel rear cameras.

It supported features like screen-off quick capture,

digital zoom with a large aperture,

light painting shutter,

super night mode, and other photography functions.

The front camera was 8 megapixels.

It was equipped with a large 3500mAh capacity battery,

supporting 9V/2A 18W fast charging.

The honor v8 used a 2K large screen,

marketed as a large-screen VR phone.

Furthermore, its price was slightly lower than the huawei p9.

As a slightly lower-tier model compared to Huawei phones,

it was also welcomed by consumers.

Seeing that the Honor brand had also released a new phone,

Xue Haixin became even more certain of his thoughts.

"Now that they've released these two models, Huawei and Honor,

there shouldn't be any other phones, right?"

Although Huayao's release of these two phones had some impact on Ideal's mobile business,

the impact was very limited.

At most, it would just attract back the old customers of Huawei and Honor.

However, Xue Haixin did not expect

that his nightmare had only just begun.

Less than a week later,

Huayao held another launch event,

releasing the OPPO R11s.

It was equipped with a Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor

and a non-removable 3205mAh battery.

Focusing on battery life and fast charging,

its VOOC flash charge technology brought its charging rate to 25W.

Its fast charging rivaled the ideal a9,

and was even faster!

Xue Haixin was completely stunned.

This Bai Jingqing was truly addicted to releasing phones.

But he knew that Huayao Technology's capital was currently very short,

so he expected that they couldn't have too many products now.

He felt that this should be about it,

and that Huayao would probably not release any more new phones.

However, what he didn't expect was

that two weeks later,

Huayao released the Redmi 3.

As a sub-brand of xiaomi phone,

it was equipped with a Snapdragon 616 octa-core processor

and featured the same MIUI 6.0 system as the xiaomi 6.

This phone targeted the low-end offline market.

It claimed to be the cheapest All-Netcom phone on the market,

supporting dual SIM dual standby and all network bands,

with a price of only 669!

Although the phone appeared small and exquisite in size,

its battery capacity reached 4100mAh,

making it a literal battery life powerhouse.

In this era,

All-Netcom support was even a selling point.

Most low-end phones could only use the SIM card of a single carrier,

while All-Netcom was standard for high-end phones.

However, the appearance of this phone completely broke that situation.

For only 699,

one could get an All-Netcom phone!

Even those knock-off manufacturers couldn't achieve that!

Huayao Communications' move caused many knock-off manufacturers to suffer,

as it was essentially cutting off their livelihood.

But the debut of this phone was met with unanimous praise from offline users.

However, it didn't end there.

Subsequently, Huayao held launch events for multiple phones simultaneously.

The vivo X20, equipped with a Snapdragon 660 processor,

focused on HiFi audio effects,

and the music-listening experience was indeed very excellent.

The OnePlus 5T was equipped with the snapdragon 835, the same processor as Huayao's current top-tier xiaomi 6.

However, the screen form was a flat display,

and other peripheral configurations were stripped down to varying degrees.

Of course, the price was also significantly lower,

positioning it as a cost-effective phone focusing on gaming performance.

Among them, OPPO, VIVO, and Redmi focused on the offline market,

basically not selling online,

while other phones were sold both online and offline simultaneously.

With such A-series of operations,

Xue Haixin was directly stunned.

He originally thought that by employing a 'sea of phones' tactic,

releasing four phones within two months was already the limit.

He didn't expect this Huayao Technology to be even more ridiculous,

releasing eight phones within a single month!

And each one truly had its own characteristics.

In fact, basically every model could find a corresponding product from Ideal Phone to compete with.

It was hard not to suspect that Bai Jingqing was targeting Ideal Technology.

Xue Haixin was puzzled.

At this moment, he really wanted to ask Bai Jingqing in person,

"Why the f*ck do you have so many phones?

How many production lines do you have to have?

With that run-down factory of yours,

can you even manage to produce so many phones?"

Previously, he merely suspected that Bai Jingqing was buying components from other phone manufacturers,

then putting on his own brand and assembling them.

But now his thoughts had shifted slightly.

He began to suspect if Bai Jingqing was simply buying phones directly from other manufacturers

and then claiming they were produced by Huayao itself.

Otherwise, how could he possibly sell so many models at the same time!

Ideal was also using the 'sea of phones' tactic,

so he had personal experience with it.

Ideal's release of new phones was already very fast,

releasing four new phones in just two months.

From the initiation of a new phone project to tuning, market launch, and production,

it was already considered extremely rushed.

Yet Huayao had now released eight models in one month.

How could they possibly manage that?!

Therefore, if Bai Jingqing hadn't purchased the phones directly from other manufacturers,

then he believed that Huayao's tuning for these new phones must be extremely inadequate and garbage.

He couldn't wait to buy all the phones Huayao had released recently to experience them,

but he found that most of the phones seemed to be tuned quite well.

"How on earth was this done?

So many phones even have different system UIs!

How exactly did he carry out so many phone projects simultaneously?"

Even with an extremely critical eye,

Xue Haixin couldn't find any major problems with the new phones released by Huayao.

On the contrary, the phones newly released by Ideal often had issues,

receiving many complaints from customers.

Ideal Technology was a large factory after all,

so they naturally had to be responsible for the after-sales service of these phones.

The engineers were still working overtime to perform upgrades and optimizations,

conducting follow-up optimization via OTA

to reach the state these phones should have had in the first place.

Xue Haixin was truly puzzled.

How exactly were Huayao's phones produced?

Did they not require tuning and optimization at all?

Xue Haixin couldn't imagine that Huayao, with its current small scale,

would dare to engage in this so-called 'sea of phones' tactic like Ideal,

and even do it better than them!

He certainly couldn't just sit there and wait for death,

so he announced that except for the highest-end model, the Ideal byd10,

the other models would continue to have their prices reduced.

Overnight,

Ideal Phone even became synonymous with cost-effective phones.

Bai Jingqing wasn't going to let him get away with it.

If you lower the price, I'll follow suit!

After all, his phones basically had zero cost.

The internal competition between the two major factories also benefited many consumers.

Seeing these two manufacturers fighting back and forth,

while they, in turn, got to use cheap and high-quality phones,

everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Out of a desire to maintain a high-end image,

Xue Haixin really didn't want to lower the price of the byd10.

However, if he didn't lower the price, it really wouldn't sell!

Because although this phone was positioned as high-end,

its image really had nothing to do with being high-end.

There was no real difference between this phone and ordinary ones.

On the contrary, the xiaomi 6,

with its Dual Curved Screen and ceramic backplate,

looked truly high-end!

But since it was positioned as a high-end phone,

and with the lesson learned from the A-series,

Xue Haixin couldn't easily lower the price of the byd10 just like that.

So he announced a reduction in the production capacity of the byd10,

limiting the production of the byd10

to engage in hunger marketing.

By making it so people couldn't buy it even if they wanted to,

they would instead be more eager to buy it.

In any case, Xue Haixin did everything he could,

but in the end, he could only barely break even.
