Chapter 260 A New Choice for Rice
Meanwhile, it has become a trending topic on Weibo.
#Transsion cars starting from 309800#
#Geely Auto claims Transsion doesn't understand car manufacturing#
It turns out that after Transsion Motors announced its range test standards, a senior executive from Geely publicly criticized Transsion.
Geely executives claimed that they didn't understand car manufacturing at all, only knew how to chase trends and please their superiors, and even messed up the standards to sell their own parts and fraudulently obtain subsidies.
Their intentions were extremely malicious...
Geely executives once again urged users not to believe such "pie in the sky," since Transsion is going against the grain of all car companies and will not end well.
You might be tempted by their low prices or high standards now, but you'll be in trouble when they go bankrupt.
The comment section was filled with curses, but what was particularly lively was the presence of a rather unfamiliar voice in the Transsion Motors comment section.
"Mr. Lei, Transsion cars have already been released, when will Dami cars be released?"
"Mr. Lei, stop making phones, those things have no future. How about making cars?"
We just graduated, so by the time you build it, we'll have the money to buy it.
Lei Jun: I'm watching the press conference, please don't tag me.
Lei Jun was indeed watching the press conference.
In his office in Kyoto, he sat alone on the sofa, with a large screen in front of him playing a replay of the rumored press conference.
His expression was complicated when he saw Zhang Bin introducing the self-developed battery.
He was initially terrified, but when he saw Zhang Bin announce the adoption of new testing standards, he simply shook his head slightly.
Transsion has the technical expertise, but this tendency to show off is not a good thing, and they will definitely pay the price for their actions.
The price has now been paid.
Almost all car companies, including those that have already obtained new energy vehicle licenses, have either registered their accounts or obtained engineer accounts to criticize Transsion's behavior.
Then he turned off the TV, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Lin Bin.
"Transsion Motors is better than we imagined."
Lin Bin replied instantly: "Mr. Lei, our Redmi..."
Lin Bin is extremely busy right now; Redmi's reputation online has exploded.
Choosing low-end components back then has now backfired.
"I know, there's a meeting tomorrow."
…………
That evening, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation held a celebration party at Transsion headquarters.
Wang Mengyang had drunk too much and walked over to Shen Fei, his eyes red.
"Boss, we really did it."
Shen Fei also raised his glass to toast Wang Mengyang. Everyone thought that Transsion Motors started as a joke, but only he knew that Transsion Motors was a very important project.
People, vehicles, and homes are united.
The next step is smart homes, but before that, we need to get Lei Jun to the Indian market.
Zhang Bin walked over excitedly: "Boss, the press conference is over, but now all the pressure is on me."
"Thank you for your hard work. The press conference is just the first step; delivery is the real beginning, and we must deliver with high quality."
We absolutely cannot let a few defective cars ruin our reputation.
Zhang Bin nodded.
"I know."
We've prepared a detailed plan, but boss, let's make the guys happy today.
Shen Fei nodded: "Okay, I'm happy today."
The employees on site today were indeed happy. All frontline employees of Transsion Motors received a 1000 yuan bonus, plus double their salary for this month.
…………
May 20th, Kyoto Rice Company.
Redmi has been on the market for more than half a year, and its sales have exceeded 1500 million units.
For a new brand, this number isn't bad.
But Lei Jun wasn't happy.
Because its reputation has collapsed.
This trend started around March, but due to tight production capacity, most Xiaomi fans initially thought it was a smear campaign...
But last month, a tech blogger with over 50 followers posted a long article.
Redmi: A phone I both love and hate.
The blogger's test results are very detailed: When the Redmi was released, I was among the first to snag one for 749 yuan. It's a single-core MTK6574 smartphone.
At the time, I thought Lei Jun was a conscientious company.
After five months, I take back what I said.
With 128MB of RAM, opening QQ leaves only 20MB, and opening WeChat causes it to freeze completely.
This isn't a smartphone; it's a feature phone with a touchscreen added...
Other tests were also very detailed. Although the video and text did not mention Enjoy, everyone unconsciously compared it to it.
The final conclusion is that it's not necessary to force yourself to buy a Redmi phone just to save 30 yuan.
After all, the current Enjoy has been officially announced to be priced at 679 yuan.
Many Redmi users flooded the comments section with complaints.
"Me too. It became incredibly laggy after two months of use. A factory reset would fix it for a couple of days, then it would go back to lagging."
"Forget QQ and WeChat, even making a phone call is laggy. The dial pad takes five seconds to load..."
Lei Jun said at the time: "Let everyone use a smartphone?" And what happened? This is a smartphone, this is a stupid phone.
"The quality control of the rice is also poor. My Redmi rice developed white spots on the screen after only three months of use."
"Lei Jun, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Comments like these caused a significant drop in Redmi's rapidly rising sales.
After Lei Jun posted the video, he stared at all the engineers present.
Lin Bin didn't know what to say, after all, it was his own idea to switch to 128MB of memory...
Now everyone needs a scapegoat.
"Mr. Lei, the main issue reported by users is that the memory is too small."
128MB was okay last year, but it's not enough this year.
No matter how much MIUI optimizes it, it can't solve the hardware problem.
Hong Feng said.
"How are the preparations for the Redmi Note series going?"
"Although the supply chain has recovered, it still hasn't reached the level before the Great East Japan Earthquake."
If you use 256MB of RAM and 1GB of storage, the cost will be at least 850 yuan.
Selling it for 799 would result in a loss, selling it for 999 wouldn't be competitive.
"When will the Enjoy series be released?" Lin Bin asked.
"It has been confirmed that the K3V1 chip will be released by the end of this month or next month, with a high-end version of 512MB. The price should remain the same."
The already tense atmosphere in the meeting room completely quieted down.
Selling the Enjoy 2 with this configuration for 799 yuan is like rubbing salt into the wound for the Redmi Note series again, just like the original Redmi.
"Mr. Lei, should we take a loss on this?"
Lei Jun lay back in his chair with his eyes closed, because a thief had disrupted all his plans, causing what should have been a shining example of domestic technology to become...
Alas, it's all about timing and fate!
But Lei Jun refused to accept his fate; he was determined not to lose this venture.
"Let's pause! We can't beat Huawei or Transsion in the country."
They have advantages in supply chain, brand, and distribution channels. Redmi, in the domestic market, will forever only be able to eat the leftovers.
"Where do we go?"
Lin Bin gave another bitter smile. Transsion had already entered the Southeast Asian, African, and European markets, leaving them with very few options.
"India!"
