312: Chapter 312 Time Management Master Zhao Ming

"Pure hardware stacking is actually useless! We're going with large sensors plus algorithms, but this solution can be given to Honor; let Zhao Ming play with it."

At this moment, Zhao Ming in Shenzhen suddenly felt that another good thing had fallen into his lap.

Because a song seemed to ring in his ears: Oh...

Is this the benefit of having two dads? Where is the shame in picking up leftovers? He actually likes picking up leftovers.

Mentioning Zhao Ming, Li Qing suddenly added: "Boss, Zhao Ming is about to release the honor 6 today.

Old Yu is really generous; he gave it the Kirin 910 enhanced version chip, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 5-inch 1080p screen. The price will likely still be 1998."

"Tell Old Zhao, his goal is one thing: to hammer the Xiaomi domestic division to death."

Li Qing nodded. Xiaomi hasn't released yet, but the honor 6 is releasing first. No matter how Lei Jun operates, things will become much more difficult.

But Shen Fei walked to the window, took a careful look, and whispered: "Lei Jun's trouble isn't just the honor 6."

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Samsung S4 series United States launch event officially concluded. The release date is April 27th, and there will also be a launch event in China, scheduled for April 17th.

The moment their launch event ended, Zhao Ming of Honor officially announced the launch plan for the honor 6.

Zhao Ming: "Everyone says that after Brother Ming returned to the country, Honor underwent huge changes, but the one thing that hasn't changed is the determination to carry cost-effectiveness to the end.

This time, the honor 6 series has a significant upgrade in product power. This time, we will achieve the goal everyone has long been looking forward to...

The honor 6 is equipped with the Kirin version. This time, we're not just crashing the market; we're flipping the table.

We will redefine the landscape of 2000-yuan Smartphones once again.

April 17th, honor 6 Global Launch Event!"

"Time Management Master Zhao Ming, right? Samsung hasn't even released their official announcement in China yet, and you're already following up?

Is this precise positioning?"

"First Transsion steals the spotlight for the international version, and now Honor is colliding with the Samsung China launch date. Are you saying 2013 is... the month for domestic phones to gang up on Samsung?"

"Laughing to death. It's one thing for Transsion to steal the spotlight, but you, Honor, a grandson brand, are also coming to leech off the hype.

Who gave you the courage to hold a launch event on the same day as Samsung?"

"What trash specs does Honor have to be talking about flipping the table? With specs like yours, you aren't even worthy of carrying Samsung's shoes, yet you dare to come out and challenge them."

"To the person above, I only see a triggered fanboy. Do Samsung's specs even deserve to be compared to Honor's?

To be precise, you belong at the same table as Xiaomi."

"Zhao Ming really understands hype..."

Under the promotion of fans from both sides, the honor 6 launch event proceeded steadily.

This time, the launch event was held at the Beijing National Convention Center. The venue was expanded once again, but the brand's appeal remained strong.

Through Zhao Ming's operations and the expansion of his authority, Honor had transformed from a Huawei sub-brand into an independent internet Smartphone brand. Its fan base was massive and had gradually replaced Xiaomi's position.

As for the higher-ups, although some had certain concerns—after all, one company dominating the industry isn't good for the supply chain—more people felt it wasn't a problem.

After all, the Chinese supply chain was already developing, and Transsion hadn't taken the opportunity to raise prices; instead, they had driven prices lower and lower...

April 17th, offline launch event.

"Good friends, good afternoon. Brother Ming has missed you all to death."

Loud applause instantly erupted from the audience.

"honor 6, launching today." Zhao Ming didn't waste words and went straight to the main topic. "We skipped some numbers because this time, the honor 6 is stronger than the friendly competitors—

not just one friendly competitor, but all friendly competitors in this price range."

Someone in the audience shouted: "Hammer Xiaomi!"

Everyone smiled knowingly; after all, this was Honor's goal and his main task. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone knew it.

The director specifically filmed the audience at the venue, then cut the camera back to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming held the microphone and smiled, but didn't mention Xiaomi. In Honor's current plans, Xiaomi was already a thing of the past.

To put it bluntly, Xiaomi was no longer worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Honor.

"I see many friends asking why our honor 6 launch date happened to collide with the time of the friendly competitor's S4 China launch.

It just so happens that one of our bosses, Mr. Shen, also very coincidentally held a launch event last month, so there are many voices saying, are we engaging in technological hegemony against the friendly competitor?"

On stage, Zhao Ming suddenly stopped walking and looked at the audience with a serious expression.

Many people in the audience nodded subconsciously; after all, wasn't this too coincidental?

As for technological hegemony, that wasn't the case; it could only be said that they happened to run into the friendly competitor.

But looking at Zhao Ming's puzzled gaze, it was as if he were saying, are we that shameless?

"It seems there is some misunderstanding between us. I can tell everyone very clearly: we have never targeted any friendly competitor, and we never will.

Since Honor was founded, all product planning and launch events have been decided based on dates and product development speed. We strive to bring the best products to our consumers at the most suitable time.

This date was indeed the most ideal launch window that our team finalized internally based on the supply chain structure, product refinement progress, and comprehensive market considerations. It is not an exaggeration to call it a coincidence."

Everyone in the audience smiled, but no one believed this excuse.

The comments in the livestream were also full of: "Coincidence."

Zhao Ming coughed lightly, seemingly feeling that his excuse was a bit inappropriate.

"But having said that, being able to bring our respective flagship products to everyone on the same day as the friendly competitor is not a bad thing, I think.

Healthy market competition ultimately benefits the consumer. We don't engage in malicious marketing, nor do we play any gimmicks; we just want to let the solid product power speak for itself.

If there is any insider story here, it is that we and the friendly competitor have a tacit understanding—we both want to bring everyone the best products at the best time."

At this moment, a round of loud applause came from the audience.

"I believe that truly good products are never afraid of being compared on the same stage, nor do they need to rely on leeching off hype to attract attention.

Next, please join me in seeing what kind of surprises this honor 6, which we have refined for so long, can bring you?"

As his voice fell, the comments rose again.

"Got it, got it. Coincidence equals precise timing, tacit understanding equals I did it on purpose. Zhao Ming's level of sarcasm is a bit high, isn't it?"

"Still saying it's not targeted? Not releasing it early, not releasing it late, but choosing to release it on the same day as us—who are you trying to fool with such a coincidence!"

"Got it, it really is a tacit understanding. We and the friendly competitor thought of the same thing—we both thought of April 17th, this best time. How coincidental!"
