When Wang Chuan talked about on the stage, Lei Jun quietly waiting for him in a VIP room, ready to send him a congratulation.
TV has always been the home of Wang Chuan.
Nearly five months have passed since the debut of CES, and Xiaomi TV 4 has finally been “slowly†listed in China. Its 4.9mm thin fuselage made Wang Chuan proud, but also dug him a pit. The technical difficulties and yield problems involved in this plagued his television team.
Millet TV 4 is the first product to be officially released five months after it has been seen and touched by people in the past two years. The difficulty can be imagined.
Wang Chuan tells the tiger to sniff: “The main reason is the cost. In fact, we were very mature in January. I showed it to everyone at the time. All aspects are good, but the yield and cost, what we have done in the past five months. That is, we must pull up the yield."
In the beginning, the yield of Xiaomi TV 4 was only 10%. “What does this mean? This means that we will scrap 9 units for every 10 units we produce.â€
Today, five months later, Wang Chuan told the tiger that the current yield has increased to 90%. So he dared to open this conference.
Wang Chuan said that there were only two choices before him. One was to choose Xiaomi TV 4 as a PPT TV release, and the other was to price it like Sony - Sony also had a 4.9mm thick ultra-thin TV, 65-inch. The price is 29,990 yuan, and the price of 55 inches is 1,990 yuan.
But he thinks this is not in line with Xiaomi's values.
In order to reduce costs and improve yields, Wang Chuan with his team competes for seconds and visits suppliers with high density in the past five months. He said that he had run eight cities in one week, five days, and visited nine suppliers. Businessmen arrive at the hotel one or two at midnight every day, and then go out to meet the supplier at 7 or 8 in the morning. Xiaomi's engineers did not return home in the factory for three months.
Wang Chuan said: "We are doing this to save the user every penny."
Speaking of sensation, Wang Chuan’s voice was a little quivering, and his emotions were a bit agitated.
In order to fully demonstrate the effects of the Dolby Sound Home Theater on the 65-inch Xiaomi TV 4, Xiaomi TV moved the conference to Wukesong's Yaolai International Film Studio - opposite to the soon to be taken off the title of Le Sports. Ecological center.
After the conference started, the lights went out and Wang Chuan's figure was looming on the stage. He couldn't see if he had shed tears, and the PPT behind him was crying.
Do not know from which entrepreneur started, choked into the conference tradition, Jia Yueting choked, Lei Jun choked, Luo Yonghao sobbed ... now Wang Chuan also choking. This reflects from a side that the Internet companies doing hardware are very hard-pressed, although they often compete with each other in order to devalue their opponents to raise their own pleasure, but when it comes to bitterness, they can not avoid choking.
The conference for Internet hardware companies entered the era of bitterness from the storytelling era.
Back to the product, in order to downgrade costs, Wang Chuan made three efforts: improve the yield, improve the design, and strengthen the cooperation between suppliers.
He gave a small example to save the cost of five dollars: "This aluminum frame, after I read the cost, I said why do you have more than five packaging fees? He told me that we are using one-off Packaging, I said that the one-time packaging was shipped to the factory, the packaging was scrapped, the packaging fee could not be saved, and if we saved it, we could give back to the consumer. He said there was no way. I said that I could not make permanent packaging. It can be used repeatedly, he said that the assembly plant does not help me to recycle, and I said I can help you to promote it.I went to visit the owner of the assembly plant and talked to them if they could help with recycling, how the two companies handed over, how to recycle, and make a permanent Sex packaging, we will save the five dollars."
In the end, he made a millet TV 4 millet price, 65 inches 9999 yuan, 55 inches 3999 yuan, 49 inches 3499 yuan. One 65-inch version is split design, the other two are one-piece design.
This price is much lower than I originally expected. On February 19 of this year, when I first saw Xiaomi TV 4, its slim design had shocked me once. So this conference, my curiosity is more about its price. Wang Chuan told me at that time that it would not exceed 2000 U.S. dollars.
Currently, Xiaomi TV 4 has started pre-sale, and it is officially available on the official website of Xiaomi's official website, Jingdong, and Tmall on June 1. Among them, 65-inch millet TV 4 free shipping, but also sent 3 years of millet TV very clean member.
For more than a week, Internet TV manufacturers have focused on technology and secretly competing. First on May 10, Storm TV launched artificial intelligence TV X5 ECHO, the main voice remote wake-up call, using the voice technology of the University of Science and Technology, allowing this product's voice recognition technology content to add a lot. This was followed by LeTV’s promotion of “shared TV†4X55M on May 16th. For the first time, it let TV smash the “sharing†concept that was hot and purple. On May 17th, Little Whale TV held a media conference to show the 4.9mm "Drunk and Thin" whale TV A series that also showed on CES. Wang Chuan said yesterday that he had seen this product at CES. "Can it be PPT TV?"
Then is Xiaomi TV's press conference on the 18th.
Worth to say is that Liu Yaoping, the storm TV CEO, said in an interview with Tiger Sniff that the sales of Storm TV had more than 1.2 million units last year, surpassing Xiaomi, and second only to LeTV in the Internet TV brand. Yesterday, when I checked with Wang Chuan, he responded to the tiger and sniffed: "They are dreaming."
Wang Chuan admits that last year's sales of Xiaomi TV did not enjoy television as a pleasure. "But we have been leading LeTV this year."
