444: Chapter 444 The Price of Incense, New Year's Shopping Festival Discounts

Watching the arrival of the price announcement segment, the atmosphere at the venue immediately quieted down!

Everyone was waiting to see what kind of bombshell Honor would pull out this time, but they were also mentally prepared that the positioning of this Honor digital series would definitely be adjusted upwards!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be bringing out so much advanced technology!

However, as Zhao Ming looked at the slightly anxious audience below the stage, he revealed that mysterious smile again. Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Lei Jun saw this smile and instantly began to panic!

His hand instinctively covered his eyes, attempting to deceive himself, but it was all a futile choice.

Unlike any other press conference, the final price was announced on the big screen.

honor 8 Standard Edition: 2699 yuan! honor 8 Pro: Starting at 3399 yuan!

"Everyone, tell me, is this price 'delicious' or not?"

Zhao Ming on stage looked at the audience below with a smile; the crowd had already begun to cheer!

You have to know that Honor had already finalized its price positioning; the digital series itself covers the 2000~4000 yuan price segment.

They had originally thought that Honor would go a step further and reach the 2999 yuan price point, but it turned out to still be a 2500 yuan gatekeeper!

But with this price and this configuration, what else can the competing companies do? They might as well just go home and plant sweet potatoes, right?

"What's there to be proud of? He hasn't even announced the memory version. What if they give you a 1+16GB version to lower the selling price?"

"Exactly, the biggest taboo is opening champagne at halftime. As far as I know, Honor has hoarded a lot of junk; the base storage might not be 16GB, it could be 8GB..."

"Don't worry! Just look at the male god's expression, you know it absolutely can't be small memory!"

Just when they were feeling itchy with anticipation, Zhao Ming smilingly raised the clicker in his hand, and everyone's attention was fixed on it!

And he didn't play coy any longer; with a casual click, the data on the big screen updated once again.

Standard Edition: Starts at 2+16GB. Pro Version: Starts at 2+32GB.

"Wow!"

The fans in the audience and the livestream instantly cheered. You can get a Full-screen Display for 3400 yuan. You have to know that brand-new similar products sell for at least 4000, approaching 5000, yet Honor drove it straight down to 3000!

"Holy crap, it's even more 'delicious' than we imagined. This price is too conscientious!"

"Indeed conscientious, after all, some competing companies are still using 512MB and 1GB of memory. But Mr. Lei, don't worry, we aren't implying anything about you; we are scolding those two disappointing guys, Blue and Green!"

[Blue and Green: What does this have to do with us? We are still busy harvesting leeks offline.]

"Don't just sit there laughing; you'd better pray your hand speed is fast enough today, otherwise you won't be able to grab one at all!"

Just when they were happy, Zhao Ming on stage raised his hand to press down:

"The Standard Edition and the Pro version are 3399, this is the launch price for our honor 8."

The applause from the audience hadn't stopped yet, when Zhao Ming suddenly changed the tone:

"But as everyone knows, the New Year is coming soon!"

Zhao Ming's smile became exceptionally bright; after all, he could stab the competing companies in the lungs again, which was indeed quite nice!

"And our Honor brand has always had a New Year's Festival tradition. Every year at this time, we bring out our greatest sincerity to give all consumers a year-end reward!"

The PPT behind him became festive once again, full of bright red, with New Year elements dialed up to the max!

He paused for a moment, letting the audience below digest this news properly!

But they were also prepared; they expected it to be a bunch of freebies. But if it were a third party giving up the freebies, maybe it could be a bit cheaper, and then it would be even more 'delicious'!

"Everyone isn't particularly interested in some of our freebies, so today we are going straight to the point. We are canceling the freebies and giving everyone a New Year gift package instead. With the money saved, you can purchase accessories yourselves."

As his voice fell, the price numbers on the big screen suddenly jumped, tumbling downwards sharply.

honor 8 Standard Edition: Starting at 2499 yuan! honor 8 Pro: 3199 yuan!

"For anyone who purchases before the New Year, the entire series will be discounted by 200 yuan from the original price!"

Zhao Ming put down the microphone in his hand and also applauded for the audience.

"Consider it Honor wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance, and thank you all for your support of Brother Ming's work!"

After saying this, Zhao Ming stood on stage and bowed to everyone!

The scene was quiet for a moment, and then all the audience members were completely won over by this chain of tactics. Many people directly took out their phones to pre-order the honor 8 Pro...

After all, the strongest one this time had to be the 8 Pro, a Full-screen Display for just over 3000!

"Holy crap, this is what it means to truly convince the executives; this price is incredibly 'delicious'."

"I finally know why Brother Ming was smiling from beginning to end; because this price is really too lethal. He has the qualification!"

"The Xiaomi next door is still selling for 2199? No Full-screen Display, no 4G, no Under-display Fingerprint. Facts have proven that for the price-performance market, you really have to look at the pioneering manufacturer!"

"You are implying things about my Xiaomi again. Didn't they say? Honor's plan was stolen; they are the true price-performance manufacturer?"

"Holy crap! New digital fans, there's actually this bit of history? Then they are too shameless, right?"

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, at Dami Company!

Lei Jun's expression was already not very good, but when Zhao Ming mentioned the New Year's Festival, he was completely angered to the point of laughing.

You have to know that he had applied to register the "Dami New Year's Festival," but what was the result? The IP owner is Transsion Technology!

With all these actions, are you still saying that Transsion is not targeting Xiaomi?

Moreover, Zhao Ming mentioned the New Year's Festival on this occasion; this is absolutely not a coincidence. This is fucking intentional, it's a naked provocation, rubbing salt in his wounds...

But anyway, it's just a promotional event. If it can't be called Mi Fans, can't the New Year's Festival be called something else? But he has noted this matter down!

Meanwhile, over at Honor, the lively first-sale event had also begun.

At the same time, China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom were exerting their efforts again. This time, the most hardworking one was still China Unicom; after all, after being messed with by Transsion once before, they lost a large number of high-end old customers.

Now they have completely given up those little schemes and started to fully promote domestic products. After all, Apple's reputation in the country can no longer compare to Transsion.

Meanwhile, backstage at the launch, Zhao Ming was also excitedly guarding the spot, wanting to know the initial results of the honor 8 series.

Watching the sales charts rising one by one, he realized in his heart that the honor 8 was set!

He was not in a hurry to post on Weibo, and he also didn't let the official account post on Weibo!

Therefore, the outside world was also very curious about the first sale of the honor 8. After all, it had been selling for more than two hours, so why was there no news at all? Could it be that it's critically acclaimed but not commercially successful?
