Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 501 Guess the Price

"Of course, the configuration is basically the same as StarCloudone. I just mentioned the price of StarCloudX, and everyone is also looking forward to the price of StarCloudone."

I won't keep you in suspense too long, because I didn't design it, so I didn't set the price either. I'm just doing some promotion. The price list Liang Wen gave me says that the StarCloudone 5-inch version starts at $699! As for the StarCloudone 5.7-inch version, the price starts at $899.

"A difference of two hundred US dollars, where does the difference lie?! The 5.7 has more advanced technology, such as optimized camera algorithms, higher chip clock speed, and a larger capacity battery," Chen Yu said with a smile.

After speaking, Chen Yu glanced at Liang Wen standing below the stage. Liang Wen was speechless after Chen Yu's words. He had originally wanted to use Chen Yu's name to open up the market! Now it seemed that Chen Yu was not giving him any face at all.

"I've finished introducing Cloud's branded phones, so let's talk about Xiaomi, which is born for enthusiasts."

"To enable everyone to enjoy the fun of technology" is the vision of the Xiaomi team. They plan to apply the internet development model to product development, use the geek spirit to make products, and use the internet model to eliminate intermediaries, striving to allow everyone in the world to enjoy high-quality technology products from China. "Okay, I've finished memorizing this book, it should be fine, right?" Chen Yu said, changing the slide.

When everyone realized that it was exactly the same as what Chen Yu had said, countless people burst into laughter.

Chen Yu really knows how to trick people!

"Actually, all those polite official remarks were just to say one thing: to get people with technical skills and abilities to join the Xiaomi family. As a platform hub, Xiaomi allows its fans to use their skills to modify and upgrade existing platforms."

"Am I right? Comrade Lin Bing!" Chen Yu asked with a smile in the direction below the stage, and the camera immediately focused on him.

Lin Bing was surprised by Chen Yu's return and smiled bitterly, nodding.

"Look, he's obviously a tech guy, and he's even embarrassed! I originally wanted him to come up and speak himself, but he insisted on having me do it, saying that they would feel more at ease with me on the platform."

All I want to say is that I've taken the stand, but whether it's stable or not isn't up to me; it still depends on you yourselves.

From the moment Xiaomi was officially established, it was no longer a small department; it was a company with its own culture, principles, background, and responsibilities.

And this time, Xiaomi was indeed born for enthusiasts.

What I find worst is Xiaomi's casing design; it's practically nonexistent.

"Look, everyone!" As he spoke, the first generation of Xiaomi phones appeared on the big screen.

This photo disappointed many people, especially after seeing designs like StarCloud and the iPhone, which made Xiaomi's design seem rather poor.

"This phone has absolutely no design sense! Its shape is just awful!"

"Wow, this phone is really amazing, I'm speechless."

"This is the true meaning of the golden mean, isn't it!"

"This is the way of non-action!"

Countless people talked about it.

"Please don't be put off, because the Xiaomi Mi 1 was designed for enthusiasts. It uses a dual-core processor, the same as StarCloud's, and boasts a whopping 1GB of RAM. Of course, a top-of-the-line 1.5GB option is also available. As for ROM, it only comes with 4GB, but 8GB and 16GB are also available. Most importantly, the phone starts at 1999 RMB. Converted to US dollars, that's only about $300. However, according to Xiaomi, because it's a newly established company with insufficient resources and funds, it's currently only sold in China, and through direct online sales, bypassing distributors."

Actually, I think Xiaomi's biggest feature is not its hardware, but its operating system.

Although it is also based on Android, they redesigned the UI according to their own preferences and user habits, adding many convenient and practical functions.

"This is Xiaomi's UI, you can take a look!" Chen Yu said, and then played a design video of Xiaomi's UI.

Xiaomi's design approach and philosophy were included in the Android file package that Chen Yu gave to Liang Wen. After Liang Wen discovered this, he thought it was intentional on Chen Yu's part, so he simply used it.

After seeing Xiaomi's UI, everyone gave it a thumbs up because it's very beautiful.

Chen Yu understood that MIUI was indeed very eye-catching and pleasing, mainly because of its warm color scheme, which is generally more appealing.

"Although Xiaomi doesn't have a design philosophy, it doesn't mean it lacks technological content. Many of the technologies used are supported by cloud technology and Zhanlong technology. So the quality is definitely guaranteed, and Xiaomi products are very easy to repair."

I believe that most enthusiasts don't have high demands for appearance. Of course, there are exceptions—enthusiasts who have high demands for design and also want high performance; for them, StarCloudone is a good choice.

Someone else raised an opinion, saying: StarCloudone is so expensive.

To these people, I just want to say: there's no such thing as a free lunch. You get what you pay for. So wake up, everyone who thinks like this.

Perhaps such companies will emerge in the future, but I can guarantee that they will either be setting traps for you elsewhere, or they won't survive long.

Chen Yu's words resonated with the audience because they were honest and realistic.

"Alright, what's the price of Xiaomi?! How about you give me a price?! Since it's only sold in China, we'll use Chinese Yuan!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

The scene immediately erupted in excitement, and major live streaming websites were flooded with the news.

"2999!"

"3499!"

"2499!"

"4000!"

"1 yuan!"

People offered all sorts of prices at once.

"Who's shouting '1 yuan'? Step forward! I promise I won't hit you. I'll buy yours for a hundred times the price! Let's start with 10 billion copies!" Chen Yu shouted. Everyone burst into laughter.

"Damn, which guy is so idiotic? Does he really think he's buying cabbage for a dollar?! He's got guts!"

"How can there be such shameless people in the world?"

"Haha, this guy's awesome! A man shouldn't back down, hurry up and go for it! This is a 1000 billion dollar deal! If he pulls it off, he'll be rolling in it!"

"One yuan is nonsense, but Chen Yu is talking about cost-effectiveness and emphasizes high-end features, so the price won't be higher. Around 2500 should be about right."
