Chapter 306 Hua Xing: Sang Zi, the timing of the press conference is a bit of a coincidence.
Chapter 306 Hua Xing: Sang Zi, the timing of the press conference is a bit of a coincidence.
"Looks like chip technology isn't iterating anymore?"
"Isn't this just like Huawei's P series? A half-generation upgrade, just to keep ripping people off?"
"It seems the investigation into Apple has given Transsion a huge opportunity; they even have time to release a second phone?"
"Upstairs, there's no need to bring up last year's matter. We didn't ban their sales; we're just investigating."
"Thanks, it's nothing. Transsion is about to launch a new product, and the results will definitely show that an invisible hand is manipulating the market! [doge emoji]"
"I have to say, a flagship imaging camera is definitely a must. The Transsion S4's experience is truly excellent."
"Hey, something seems off about this date? Is this some kind of telepathic message trying to steal the deal?"
That's really true.
光韵3月13号发布,三桑s4好像是3月14号,差一天故意的吧?」
A blogger has dug up the release date of the Samsung S4: March 14th, New York time.
The transmission of the message and the light were scheduled for March 13th, exactly one day earlier than the three sangs. This was not a coincidence; it was a declaration of war.
Some tech bloggers are also interpreting this as Transsion, after dominating the domestic market, now launching a ruthless attack on international brands. As for the outcome, we'll just have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the headquarters of Sansang Kakoku in Kyoto.
President Zhang Yuanji was looking at the trending topics on Weibo on his phone in his office.
A year ago, he even mocked Lei Jun, saying that his main brand was about to be killed by someone else's sub-brand, and he didn't even feel ashamed.
As a result, Transsion's S3 and S4, along with Huawei's Mate series, left their S and Note series in a state of near collapse, but fortunately, they performed quite well in the mid-to-low-end market.
As for San Sang's treatment abroad, he is only the president of the China region, not the president of San Sang, so that's not his business.
I had assumed that the two companies were coexisting peacefully within China, merely competing with each other for market share...
But unexpectedly...
His secretary, Li Mei, was somewhat frightened after seeing Lei Jun's recent tragic experiences.
"Mr. Zhang, Transsion's launch event is on March 13th, one day earlier than our S4."
Should we adjust the release time?
Zhang Yuanji put down his phone and shook his head.
He was furious. Transsion's S4 had already taken away a lot of their market share, and he was furious that the two sides had to have a head-on confrontation.
Since they're both slim and lightweight camera flagship phones targeting the female market, let's have a head-to-head comparison and see who comes out on top!
He put down his phone and said:
"No adjustment. Sansang's rhythm doesn't need to follow the Chinese company's lead."
"But... Transsion's Radiant series is also a flagship series. This is the first time Transsion has held a flagship product launch event since it sold Motorola."
It will definitely attract a lot of media attention.
"Besides, they released it first, and by the time we had our press conference, the entire media was reporting on Transsion's reviews, and our buzz had died down."
Zhang Yunji shook his head again, stopping his secretary.
"Stop talking, or I'll get really angry."
Li Mei immediately lowered her head.
"They came here to compare us, and it's only if we, the younger ones, fall into their trap."
Moreover, Transsion's price is at most around 3000, while our S4 sells for over 5000. They're not in the same price range and don't constitute direct competition at all.
Li Mei didn't argue, but she was already complaining in her heart.
The Transsion S3 has already crushed the Samsung S3 and Note series. Whether the Samsung S4 can even surpass Samsung's performance is still uncertain. Where does Mr. Zhang get his confidence?
Zhang Yuanji seemed to see through her little scheme: "Come here!"
Just as the secretary was about to return to her old workstation, Zhang Yuanji stopped her and simply asked her to massage his shoulders.
"Transsion's advantage ultimately lies in its cost-effectiveness, while our advantage is our international brand."
The moment they made the short-sighted decision to sell Motorola, they had already lost their competitiveness.
We are a global brand, while they are just a Chinese brand; we're not even in the same league.
Li Mei nodded and began massaging Zhang Yuanji's shoulders, but Zhang Yuanji knew very well what was going on.
Transsion has reached a point where it no longer needs Motorola.
It is an international brand.
After all, given last year's sanctions, Transsion has now legitimately entered the American market, and its sales are booming!
As for other regions, such as Southeast Asia and Africa, Transsion is undoubtedly number one, while Sansang has become synonymous with backwardness.
Meanwhile, the chat group for Sansang's crystallized powder was also very lively.
"What are you afraid of? Using telepathy is just overestimating yourself."
"If he had kept the 14nm technology hidden last year, he might have succeeded in launching the 14nm technology this year. But now he's just garbage."
"It's just a brand that can only spell words, what's there to look forward to?"
"Then our sales completely crushed theirs, and we had a lot of users. They can tell the difference between junk and flagship products."
"We underestimated them before and let them gain an advantage. Now they dare to provoke us again. This time, we'll make them lose so badly they won't recognize their own fathers."
What these fans didn't know was that at Transsion's headquarters in Guangzhou, Chen Yan was also making final preparations.
"Do you have enough stock of Guangyun? It would be a bad thing if we ran out of stock after the launch event, wouldn't it?"
Liu Fang and Wang Hua smiled and said in unison, "Don't worry, boss, we're not Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi), we have plenty of stock."
Then Wang Hua added, "This time, we prepared 100 million for the standard version and 80 for the Pro version."
All the offline demo units are in place, and the lighting at the experience center is all set up.
This time, the focus is on imaging. We've equipped each experience station with professional lighting equipment, allowing users to try shooting on the spot for a truly immersive experience.
Shen Fei nodded; the service had to be impeccable.
At this moment, Wang Hua said with a smile, "San Sang has decided to stand up to us head-on; they will not postpone the meeting."
Zhang Yuanji has already stated on his Weibo that this time, S4 is showing great sincerity.
Shen Fei thought about it and decided on the S4, which seemed to be a very sincere offer.
Does it refer to their five-inch OLED screen, or to their use of a mix of their own Exynos 5410 and Snapdragon 600 processors?
After realizing that it could not compete with Transsion, Qualcomm officially revamped and upgraded its own product line.
The Qualcomm S series was upgraded to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, 600, and 800, corresponding to the low-end, mid-range, and high-end product lines respectively...
However, its performance is still lackluster.
Thinking of these "luxurious" specifications, Shen Fei smiled and said, "Let him see our product first, and then we'll think about how to introduce our S4."
On March 13th, the weather in Guangzhou was very sunny, and the Transsion Light & Sound launch event was larger in scale than the S4 launch event.
This time, it's not just Chinese media, but also media from Europe, Africa, the United States, and other countries. Guangyun is going public globally this time, carrying out its internationalization strategy to the end!
