43: Chapter 43 200 Yuan Coupon

Some people still didn't believe it and asked customer service again, "Then what is the maximum frame rate for the ideal a8 Pro?"

Looking at the data parameters sent from headquarters, the customer service representative replied, "In actual tests, the current version of honor of kings can reach a maximum frame rate of 45 fps. This is under conditions of low load, low image quality, and low resolution. Please refer to the actual game performance for specific data."

Uh... That's it?

This phrase immediately popped into the minds of many people who came to inquire. There must be something wrong!

With such mediocre performance data, how could Li Xiang Technology be so confident? How dare they run such overwhelming advertisements? They were practically desperate to announce the release of the ideal a8 Pro to the whole world.

"Ah, I get it. The ideal a8 Pro must be a competitor to the xiaomi 5. They must be in the same price range!"

Some smart alecks quickly thought of this possibility and even felt more convinced the more they thought about it. If the price of the ideal a8 Pro was similar to the xiaomi 5, users would definitely choose the ideal a8 Pro. After all, Ideal is a big manufacturer, which is much more reliable than a copycat phone manufacturer like xiaomi!

So someone asked customer service again, "In that case, the ideal a8 Pro must be very cheap, right? After all, this phone's gaming performance isn't much different from the xiaomi 5."

The customer service side quickly replied, "Dear, the ideal a8 Pro is our Li Xiang Technology's top-tier flagship phone. The current pre-sale price is 9,999 yuan. Would you like to place an order?"

"Go to hell! I'll pre-order your mother's b! Is 28 fps supposed to be called 'smooth gameplay'? Doesn't honor of kings support 60 fps now? With a 60 fps cap, you guys can't even break 30 fps with the ideal a8 Pro, and you call that smooth? You polished this crappy phone for three years—what the hell did you even polish!"

Many people who came to inquire started swearing at the customer service reps directly in the chat box. They mainly felt like they had been played. The overwhelming advertising made them think Li Xiang Technology's product capability was strong, but this was it?

The key point was that Li Xiang Technology was still incredibly confident, pricing it at 9,999! Even if Li Xiang Technology had brand power, that brand power couldn't possibly be worth that much money, right?

After going through this a few times, the customer service staff at the Li Xiang Phone online store were completely bewildered. Why did these players feel so irritable? They were all spewing filth, their mouths were so foul! Was the overall quality of honor of kings players really this poor?

Even the head of the customer service team had been berated several times, which made her lose confidence. She gathered all the customer service staff together and did a simple tally, finding that many of them had experienced this situation.

The head of the customer service team became even more confused. "Judging by what these players are saying, it seems they think our frame rate is very low?"

The head of the customer service team immediately went to ask the head of the technical department at Li Xiang Technology. "Is the frame rate of our ideal a8 Pro when playing honor of kings very low?"

The head of the technical department shook his head repeatedly. "Of course it's not low! What kind of dream are you having? Our ideal a8 Pro has been specifically optimized and adapted for honor of kings. Other mobile phone manufacturers in the country probably couldn't catch up even if they tried for another year!"

"Besides, hasn't it already been tested? The ideal a8 Pro has no pressure maintaining 30 fps while playing honor of kings, and the average frame rate reached 28 fps. Isn't that about the same as when we played heroic battle records before?"

Hearing the head of the technical department say this, the head of the customer service team was even more confused. "That's not right! Why are they all swearing? Could it be that our price is too high?"

"But I have to say, our price is indeed quite high. A price of 9,999 is not something an average person can afford. But that's normal, right? After all, this is Li Xiang Phone's top-tier flagship. It's one thing that these people can't afford it, but why are they swearing here?"

At this moment, the head of the technical department said, "Is there a possibility that because other mobile phone manufacturers cannot run honor of kings smoothly, they are all lowering prices? Since other companies' phone prices are relatively low, it highlights that Li Xiang Technology's phone price is particularly high, making consumers more sensitive to price?"

The head of the customer service team nodded. "That's indeed possible! If that's the case, maybe we should lower the price a bit too!"

The head of the technical department replied, "This isn't something we can decide on our own. We'd better report it to the higher-ups."

Xue Haixin heard the employees' report and looked confused. "They're all swearing? What's going on?"

The head of the customer service team said, "It really might be due to the price. After all, the domestic mobile phone market is currently lowering prices. Chairman Xue, maybe we should lower it a bit too? That way, we can at least appease the players. Seeing how they're swearing, I'm starting to doubt whether our phones can even be sold."

Xue Haixin shook his head. "Other domestic phone manufacturers don't have as good gaming performance as our Li Xiang Phone, so it's right for them to lower prices, but we can't just lower ours. You don't understand marketing; price is not something you can just lower casually. If we start lowering prices just as the new phone is about to be released, doesn't that prove we lack product capability? Isn't that slapping ourselves in the face? However, if it's the situation you described, it seems we have to lower it."

Xue Haixin looked thoughtful. After a while, he came up with a good idea. "How about this: we launch a campaign to reward loyal users. As long as existing Li Xiang Phone users purchase an ideal a8 Pro, we can issue them a 200 yuan coupon. Isn't that equivalent to a price reduction?"

The head of the customer service team's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "It has to be you, Chairman Xue! To think you could come up with such a genius idea! Should we promote it like this?"

Xue Haixin nodded. "Go ahead."

The head of the customer service team told all the customer service staff about the new policy and instructed them to add this sentence when promoting the phone. So, these customer service representatives told everyone who came to inquire about this policy.

"Dear, as long as you are an existing Li Xiang Phone user, you can now receive a 200 yuan coupon for free. This discount is already very generous, so seize the opportunity~"

Listening to the customer service representative's infuriating tone, many netizens were directly laughed with anger.

"Damn it, 9,999! A 10,000 yuan phone, and you give a 200 yuan coupon—that's a really generous discount!"

"For 10,000 yuan, I could buy three xiaomi phones! Aside from not having a big manufacturer backing them, in what way are they not better than you?"

"A 200 yuan coupon—you call that generous? You guys are crazy about money! Why don't you just give me a 5 yuan coupon for a Lamborghini? You cheat me out of 200 yuan less, so you're only cheating me out of 9,000-plus yuan—do I have to thank you for that?"
