In order to completely break the iPad, Wang Yi once again held a high-level meeting to make the final decision before listing:
"Xpad 1 is about to be launched. Let's determine the final listing price today. What do you think?"
As the R&D director of XPAD 1, Zhu Changlin took the lead in speaking:
"Chairman, I have considered this issue. Since the main rival of xpad 1 is the upcoming iPad 3rd generation, the price of xpad 1 must be determined based on the iPad 3rd generation!"
As he said that, Zhu Changlin opened the notebook and cast it onto the big screen:
"The third generation of iPad has not been launched yet, but according to Apple's style, the pricing strategy of the third generation should be similar to the second generation of iPad that was launched last year."
"As shown in the figure, 16G version 3688, 32G version 4488, 64G version 5288. It is still an upgrade to a storage gear, with an additional 800 yuan, which is not bad."
"But it's because Apple is so dark that we seem to have a 500-plus price increase in the first upgrade of our xphone 1, which is very conscientious."
Everyone laughed, relying on their peers to set off.
Zhu Changlin continued: "Based on the estimated price of the third generation of iPad, I suggest the standard version of Xingyi Xpad 1, which is lower than the iPad, 16G version 2999, and give a two-year member of Xingyi Video Xingyi Music worth 300. It is equivalent to 2699!"
"The 32G version of Xpad 1 is priced at 3499, and the 64G version is 3999, and all are given to biennial members."
"In this way, each xpad 1 is 700 yuan cheaper than the third generation of the same iPad. In addition, the two-year membership worth 300 yuan is 1,000 yuan cheaper! It is quite cost-effective!"
"As for the flagship version of the quad-core xpad 1pro, the price is comparable to the ipad.16G version of xpad 1pro, 3999 gives two-year members. 32G version 4499 gives two-year members, 64G version 4999 gives two-year members!"
Upon hearing this, a senior executive couldn't help but say, "This pricing strategy is high and low, and I agree with it. But there is a problem. What should I do if users who have bought xphone 1 and have given a biennial membership?"
Zhu Changlin said: "It's okay for users who have already had biennial members. You can directly add membership time!"
Then, another senior executive asked a question: "The foreign version is a problem. Xingyi xpad is a global salesperson. He gave Xingyi Music + Xingyi Video biennial membership, and foreign users may not be able to use it, except for Chinese and overseas Chinese!"
"This..." Zhu Changlin was silent.
Yes, Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music are mostly what Chinese people need.
Many foreign users don’t even understand Chinese, so it’s not very useful to have Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music!
This is indeed a problem.
Someone suggested: "Why don't you give dual members in China and directly reduce the price abroad by 300 yuan?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No need to reduce the price, just give me a two-year membership of 300 yuan. If you can't use it abroad, then the 300 yuan will be considered an increase in the price overseas by XPAD, and there will be no additional price increase again at that time."
For example, Meiyou and Zhenyou's clothing have a lot of price increase overseas.
But electronic products are different. If you increase the price too much, it will be one or two thousand more expensive than iPads, so the sales will not be good.
Otherwise, why don’t people buy cheaper iPads?
If you want to make a profit, you have to sell it at a fair price with the iPad!
As for selling more than iPad and premium, it must be after the iPad is turned over and the Xingyi Pad brand is made and famous around the world.
Now that Xingyi XPad 1 is just starting out, it is already very successful if it is not as powerful as iPad.
What's more, there is still a big gap in xpad 1 at the system level.
The third generation of iapd iOS 1 system is definitely more powerful than Android 0.
This is the biggest dilemma that restricts xpad 1 and even Xingyi mobile phones!
The simplest one is 1+1G running memory, which is not stuck now, and it will not be stuck in two years.
Android 0+1G running memory is still OK at the moment, let alone two years later, it will be Kakashi in a year.
It is precisely because of this that most Android phones and tablets are replaced once a year and upgraded once a year.
Apple's low-speed storage can be used for many years without getting stuck.
Of course, the most essential thing is that the iOS system is a pseudo-backend, while Android is a real backend.
The software started by Android system will be retained in the background. The more startup it is, the more resources it takes, and naturally the more stuck it will be.
Apple is a pseudo-background for the tombstone mechanism. Once the screen is locked, the background program will continue to run except for music and other applications. Most of the other applications will hang up directly and will not be left in the background to continue running. It will naturally occupy less memory and will not get stuck.
But if you go in again, you have to reload.
Apple does not block, Android does not kill the backend. Both mechanisms have their own advantages, or they can be said to be imperfect.
The East emphasizes the doctrine of the mean. Everything should not be too left or too right. In fact, it is great wisdom.
Apple's backend is not good, which is not conducive to the game party.
It is not good to not kill the backend of Android. It is easy to get stuck after using it for a long time. If you don’t flash the phone for a year, you won’t get stuck. You have to change your phone!
And the real ideal state is the smart backend!
Through accurate identification, all applications are identified. Applications that should retain backgrounds, such as games, social software, etc., continue to retain backgrounds and do not delay users' use.
For other applications that are of little significance, kill them if they should be killed. Don’t keep them in memory and CPU!
For example, the apps of the portal website, Sohu, Sina, NetEase News, etc., it is meaningless to keep them in the background. After the user returns, they will kill them directly.
Wait until the user clicks in and lifts it again!
Some software starts automatically, starts in a linkage manner, and seizes storage resources, which is even a big pit for Android.
The random push mechanism is also an Android cancer.
They are all objects that must be killed.
However, in this way, you need strong permissions to manage all applications' self-start, linkage startup, push management, process management, and unified management.
Apple is doing well in this regard, but Android is garbage.
Not to mention Android 0, even Android 0 cannot be done well.
And the solution of Android manufacturers is also decisive. Since I can't control it, I will be full.
Don’t you all grab memory? Isn’t it insufficient memory?
Then I will add memory crazy.
iPhone 4s 512M memory, 1G memory for Android phones during the same period.
iPhone 5 has been upgraded to 1G memory, and 2G memory for Android phones such as Xiaomi 2 during the same period.
Until the iPhone 6, it still had 1G memory, while the Xiaomi 4 and Huawei mate 7 at the same time had 3G memory.
Later, iPhone 15, 6G memory, and Android flagships achieved 16G memory during the same period!
However, this barbaric memory growth method is just a temporary solution and it is impossible to do so.
For example, the current xpad 1 system is not as good as 1, and Wang Yi has no choice but to upgrade the memory.
The third generation of iPad has 1G memory, while the standard version of xpad 1 is 5G, and the xpad 1 pro has direct 2G memory.
Only in this way can we recover our disadvantages when the system is not as good as Apple.
But this treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
Moreover, memory upgrades also take time.
The real solution is to start from the system level and completely reverse the disadvantages at the system level.
There are only two solutions.
One is the Apple solution and the other is the Huawei solution.
The Apple solution is to create its own IOS system like Apple, completely surpassing Android.
However, this is very difficult. Not only is it difficult to develop a system, but it is even more difficult to establish an application ecosystem. There are also processor adaptation, etc., which are difficult to solve.
Xingyi Technology does not have this strength or ability at present.
On the contrary, Huawei's solution is much easier.
Instead of directly creating a brand new pure-blooded Hongmeng system, we start by modifying the underlying Android architecture and creating Hongmeng's own architecture.
By grafting the Android application ecosystem with Hongmeng architecture, you can borrow chickens to lay eggs.
It can not only use ready-made Android applications, but also have its own underlying architecture to manage applications in a unified manner!
In this way, it will be easier to achieve the goal.
When the user scale grows in the later stage, with hundreds of millions of users, their own chips, and their own system, they can completely separate themselves from Android like Huawei and create a pure-blooded Hongmeng system that is incompatible with Android applications!
This path starts from magically modifying the underlying Android architecture, to grafting the Android application ecosystem by self-developing the underlying Android architecture, and then to removing the Android ecosystem to developing its own ecological system!
It's still a familiar three-step strategy!
In my previous life, this is how Huawei’s Hongmeng went, and we have reached the third step, eliminating Android and creating a pure-blooded Hongmeng ecosystem.
This is how Xiaomi's system is, but it has only reached the first step and is almost the second step.
Similarly, Xingyi Technology has to go like this now.
Starting from the first step, magically modify the underlying Android architecture, making Android 0 applications obedient and easy to use!
This step is just an operation on Android, which is easier.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi looked around everyone: "The pricing of Xingyi xpad 1 is decided, and the product is finalized. Comprehensive mass production and stocking is released on the eve of the Global Mobile Conference! All departments are ready and cannot lose their chains."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Wang Yi changed his subject: "The second major event is to establish a system R&D department, magically modify the Android underlying architecture, and create a new underlying architecture, so that all applications can be automatically started, linked startup, message push, permission request, and process management will be included in the management of the new architecture."
"Especially process management, create a new system to determine which applications can be left in the background and continue to run. Once which applications lock the screen, they will directly freeze the background process, or even kill the background process. I want you to change a brand new architecture to achieve the above operations."
"This..." Everyone in the room was silent.
Yang Yan frowned: "Chairman, the current deep customization based on Android is said to be deep customization, but in fact it is all superficial customization. It hardly modifys the underlying architecture of Android, just sets up a UI interface and makes a fuss on the surface. To put it bluntly, it's like the Chinese patch of Steam games. What you want is magically modifying the underlying architecture, which is equivalent to changing the underlying logic of the entire game. This is very difficult and very great!"
Wang Yi smiled: "Nonsense, it's not difficult, why should I ask you for you? Why should I recruit so many high-paying talents? If you just take a UI, you don't have to recruit so many people at all. You can find some outsourcing to get it done!"
Yang Yan was silent: "..."
Other senior officials were also silent: "…"
Yes, Xingyi Technology pays twice the salary in the industry and outsourcing four times the salary. What is it?
Isn’t it just that they can do things that cannot be made by competitors and outsourcing, otherwise why should they pay twice or four times the salary?
Wang Yi is not a philanthropist!
Yang Yan nodded: "Okay, Chairman, I will form a team now to modify the underlying Android architecture!"
Wang Yi said little by little: "Very good. If there are not enough people, you can recruit. The magical modification of the underlying Android architecture will make all applications obedient and make the Android system as useful as the IOS system! This is the core of our Xingyi Technology's development in the next years! It is included in the S-level strategic layout!"
The system must do it, but it has to be done step by step.
The first step is to address Android issues, magically modify the underlying Android architecture to make Android 0 easy to use.
The second step is to create a new self-developed underlying architecture, launch self-developed systems, and be compatible with Android applications.
The third step is to abandon the Android application ecosystem, create your own ecosystem, pure blood system, and surpass Android in all aspects!
The first step is easy and can be done in one year.
The second step is difficult, almost the same in two years.
As for the third step, to create a new ecosystem, it is the Long March. One need to prepare one after another and break through one blockade after another!
Although the road is difficult, there are always people who have to walk.
"After a break!" Wang Yi waved his hand: "Yang Yan, please stay for a while."
Soon, there was no one left in the entire conference room, leaving only Yang Yan and Wang Yi.
"Yang Yan, I've been digging you to Xingyi Technology, not just to do my best in the UI interface." Wang Yi said earnestly: "The UI interface you developed is very clear, and the software logo is also very good. I like it very much. It can be said that XUI is the best UI at the moment."
"But no matter how good it looks, it is only based on Android 0's XUI, rather than rewriting the underlying architecture XOS!"
"I believe that you have the ability to create a brand new XOS system!"
"Okay, Mr. Wang, if you trust me, then I won't let you down, I will definitely do my best!"
"Do it well!" Wang Yi patted Yang Yan's shoulder: "I hope the first domestic mobile phone system, tablet system, will be born from our Xingyi Technology."
"Dr. Wang, I will definitely work hard!" Yang Yan was full of fighting spirit.
He thought Wang Yi was just trying to modify the underlying Android architecture, but he didn't expect that he was so crazy and wanted to build his own operating system!
That is not a change, but a rewrite, self-development, and re-creation.
"Go, if you lack someone, please be careful of the review." Wang Yi waved his hand.
"Okay, Chairman."
After Yang Yan left, Wang Yi fell into deep thought:
The magically modified Android can compete with IOS 5, but it is only temporary.
Later, Xingyi XOS, which rewrites the underlying architecture, can improve rapidly even if it is grafted into Android applications, and is comparable to the iOS system.
Let's do it step by step.
Xphone 1 pro and xpad 1 can’t catch up. I hope that the second generation of Xingyi in the second half of the year can catch up with Android 0 with magic-modified underlying architecture!
Wang Yi just walked out of the conference room, but Zhu Changlin came up: "Chairman, the xpad 1pro is all equipped with 2G memory. Do we want to use 2G for our xphone 1pro?"
Wang Yi thought for a while: "Switch all to 2G. As for the 5G memory chips, they are all given to the standard version of xpad 1!"
"Okay, Chairman."
Originally considering the accuracy of the knife technique, 5g of memory is enough on xphone 1pro.
But considering that the life cycle of the xphone 1pro is not only the second half of the year, it will continue until the end of the year, or even the beginning of next year.
Therefore, the 5G memory of the xphone 1pro is not enough, so 2G ​​is still safe!
Before developing an intelligent background comparable to IOS 7, memory has to be scattered.
Once the intelligent background underlying architecture is developed, the background program will be controlled perfectly and intelligently, and then 6G of Android's 16G memory will be available just like the subsequent version of IOS in the previous life.
If the memory is not filled, it will still be very smooth.
But it doesn't work now, so I can only do it to death.
Since you want to roll it, Wang Yi will make the first roll and directly release the world's first 2G memory phone!
Wang Yi remembered that the first 2G memory phone was released by LG in the middle of the year. Wang Yi couldn't remember the name, but this incident was a sensation at the time.
In his previous life, HTC released the world's first quad-core mobile phone, and LG released the world's first 2G ram mobile phone!
But this time, Wang Yi wanted both of the two gimmicks.
There is no way, without so many gimmicks, how can the price of Xphone 1pro be sold at the iPhone?
"By the way, Lao Zhu, when is the release time of the HTC quad-core mobile phone?" Wang Yi suddenly asked.
"It was released in Barcelona on February 26, a day before the Global Mobile Communications Conference!"
Wang Yi nodded: "HTC will choose the time, but since we want to grab the first quad-core mobile phone to release, we will release it one day in advance and February 25!"
Zhu Changlin was overjoyed and instantly understood what Wang Yi meant:
"Chairman, we can naturally win the world's first quad-core mobile phone first. But the Xphone 1pro has been released, so HTC's quad-core flagship will not be easy. What they have lost is not the world's first quad-core mobile phone, but the market is also there!"
Without the xphone 1pro, HTC can be popular and sell well with the gimmick of the world's first quad-core phone.
But with xphone 1pro, HTC's new flagship is behind, it would be embarrassing...
"I guess HTC shopkeeper Wang wants to curse me by then!" Wang Yi smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, as a businessman, it's normal for win-win."
"Win-win? Why is it a win-win? Didn't HTC lose again?" Zhu Changlin was puzzled.
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Win win, we win twice!"
Zhu Changlin: “…”
Then he stretched out his thumb: "Dr. Wang, there is nothing wrong with it!"
"You can arrange the press conference."
"Okay, Chairman."
afternoon.
Jian Ziyan came to Wang Yi with joy on her face.
"What a good thing? I'm so happy!" Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Chairman, a great thing. Just now, BYD's stock price officially exceeded HK$40, which is a full four times higher than the 10 Hong Kong dollars we bought before! The profit is huge!"
Jian Ziyan was furious and frowning: "Chairman, we have disclosed our share reduction plan before. Now we can take advantage of the high price to quickly reduce our shareholding! Other major shareholders want to sell, but they have no chance, so they have to disclose it in advance. Small shareholders have few stocks and are reluctant to sell them!"
Wang Yi was very calm, "Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while."
Jian Ziyan stared at Wang Yi and thought, "Chairman, what do you mean is that BYD's stock price will rise in the future? It's not that good news about antifreeze batteries, I've eaten almost the same food, right? It's all from more than 25 yuan to 40 Hong Kong dollars. It should be insufficient, right?"
Wang Yi smiled mysteriously: "What if there are new good news?"
"That will rise!"
"What if there is more than one good fortune?"
"That's going to sway, but is that possible?"
"Of course, maybe, look at it!" Wang Yi said with a smile.
The show begins now.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to it!" Jian Ziyan was full of joy, then walked behind Wang Yi, stretched out her jade hand, and pinched Wang Yi's shoulders.
Wang Yi almost fell asleep with great comfort.
What massage chair?
The amazing old directors are all school beauties with their own massages!
Sure enough, on February 9, a piece of news caused a sensation on the entire network:
[BYD is on the list of Apple suppliers and officially becomes one of Apple suppliers!]
In an instant, the whole network was in full swing and the public opinion was lively:
"The heat of anti-freezing batteries has just cooled down a little, and a larger nuclear bomb has come again, becoming Apple's supply chain! BYD is mighty!"
"Whoever becomes Apple's supply chain these days will make a big profit, it will explode, and the stock price will soar."
"Gol was like this before, and BYD is like this now."
"No, BYD is even more awesome. It is not just an Apple supplier, but also a Xingyi Technology supplier!"
"Yes, Xingyi Technology's orders to BYD have exceeded 30 million, and BYD's revenue this year is absolutely terrifying."
"It goes without saying that BYD's stock price is only forty yuan, and it can rise to fifty yuan!"
"That's right, joining the fruit chain, BYD's stock price is unlimited."
"I won't say it anymore, I've already invested heavily. I've earned 5 yuan."
"You started quickly enough. I was already 42 when I bought it!"
“I’m 43!”
“I’m 7!”
"I'm a 44-year-old, who can I ask for?"
...
"By the way, can BYD still get in at 46 yuan? Will it stand guard?"
"Don't go in, I'll definitely stand guard."
"BYD is worth buying for 48 yuan?"
"Don't ask, I just entered 48. Before 46, I hesitated, and it's too late to regret it now!"
"Fuck, it's 49, Mad, I shouldn't have gone to work today, I missed the best time!"
In just one afternoon, BYD's stock price rose by more than 20%!
Such an increase is terrifying.
Jian Ziyan was very excited: "Chairman, you are expecting things like a god. BYD's stock price has really exploded! It's 50, but I'm lucky to be in a hurry to sell it! Otherwise, wouldn't you make a profit of one-third less?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "I haven't sold it yet!"
"Ah?" Jian Ziyan looked surprised: "Chairman, this wave of market has already made BYD reach HK$50, which is a miracle. It may not be possible to continue to rise tomorrow's opening, and it may even fall!"
Wang Yi didn't care at all: "It's okay, there are good things to come."
"Is that true?" Jian Ziyan was incredulous.
However, two days later, a piece of news once again caused a sensation on the entire network:
[HTC and BYD have reached a cooperation to purchase tens of millions of anti-freeze batteries!]
Without any surprises, BYD's stock price rose again, rising all the way to HK$54.
On February 12th, another news broke:
[Sony and BYD have reached a cooperation and will purchase tens of millions of anti-freeze batteries!]
Now, BYD's stock price has risen to HK$57!
Jian Ziyan was in a good mood: "Chairman, you guessed it's really accurate. There's another good news. Can you ship it this time?"
Wang Yi was still not in a hurry: "Wait a little longer."
On February 13, a news hit the hot search:
[Apple and BYD have reached a strategic cooperation and will purchase 50 million anti-freeze batteries of BYD!]
As soon as the news came out, the whole network was in an uproar.
Fifty million!
With such a large size, I'm afraid it's a whole generation of iPhones, and the entire series is equipped with BYD anti-freeze battery standard.
Without any surprises, BYD's stock price soared!
HKD 58!
HK$59!
HK$60!
...
HK$65!
HK$67!
It seemed as if there was no end, and it was soaring wildly.
It soon reached HK$70!
Wang Yi smiled slightly and called out: "Shipment!"

Chapter completed!
