My Age of Investment

January 21, 2010.

In San Francisco, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts was packed with 3,000 spectators, all of whom looked at the stage with bated breath.

Under the spotlight, Xia Jingxing, standing in the center of the stage, suddenly waved.

Just when everyone was curious about where Xia Jingxing, who was empty-handed, took out the new baby that was launched this year, with a "buzzing" roar, a white four-rotor drone suddenly flew out from the side of the dark stage. Many Before anyone had time to see clearly, the plane streaked across half of the stage like a bolt of lightning and quickly rushed to a position one meter away from Xia Jingxing.

Although he had rehearsed countless times in private, Xia Jingxing was still startled by the gadget that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Pretending to be calm, he scratched his forehead, but fortunately, his scalp was still there.

If the operator's hand just slipped, the fun would have started.

Xia Jingxing cursed the operator half to death in his heart, but his hands were not idle at all and he quickly took out the tablet hanging under the drone.

Seeing this coquettish appearance, the audience was silent at first, and then burst into warm applause.

Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that this is a brand new drone product that is very different from the DJI Phantom 1, and they have speculated that this may be a second-generation product.

However, the plane soon flew away from the stage and entered the dark side and rear of the stage.

Noticing the reluctant looks in many people's eyes, Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, everyone, there are still many surprises today, and they will be revealed one by one.

By the way, the drone that was just unveiled seems to be very suitable for proposing. It can transport the ring directly to the couple. The sudden surprise must be great!

Okay, let’s not talk about proposing for now. If you are interested, you can buy one and go back and slowly study how to use it better.

For now, show this first.

What kind of product do you think this is? "

Xia Jingxing raised the tablet in his hand high, and the big screen behind him lit up immediately, revealing a huge projection screen.

Because the tablet computer is wrapped in a black protective cover, the entire appearance is covered, so no one can see clearly what is inside.

However, everyone could clearly see the "Iron Man" on the black protective case, so someone playfully shouted "Mark Armor" in the audience.

There are also people who know the goods loudly shouting "netbook" - book.

After whetting his appetite, Xia Jingxing quickly revealed the tablet's true identity.

With the protective cover peeled off, the tablet reveals a full touchscreen on the front, which looks like a large revival phone.

Compared with netbooks that have become popular in recent years, this tablet computer has canceled the keyboard design and only has a ho key directly below it. It still uses the design and patent of Fuxing mobile phones.

Xia Jingxing flipped the tablet over, revealing the shiny aluminum alloy casing on the back. From a distance, it looked like he was holding a gold brick.

Fortunately, it is not as thick as a brick and as thin as a booklet.

The side corners of the tablet casing still follow the chamfered design of the Fuxing mobile phone, which is smooth but not sharp, and does not hurt your hands when held in hand.

After showing the audience the appearance of the product, Xia Jingxing began to introduce its name and design ideas.

"fxpad1 was born to meet the needs of users who like to use large-screen devices for Internet surfing and entertainment.

As for the difference between it and traditional netbooks, well... it's probably the same as the difference between Fuxing mobile phones and traditional mobile phones. "

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience burst into laughter. Come on, they started dissing friends and businessmen again. It was still the same as the original press conference.

"Listening to everyone's laughter, they don't seem to believe what I say, so let's take a look together."

After that, Xia Jing walked to the sofa set aside and sat down, connected to the data interface, and began to use the picture-in-picture mode to demonstrate the use of the tablet.

Access the News app to browse the day's news; send and receive emails; play music and videos; watch e-books; play games; post to Facebook...

It was much the same as the previous conferences, but the audience still watched it with gusto.

And compared with Fuxing mobile phones, the large-screen Fuxing tablet has a better experience of watching videos and playing games.

In this regard, Xia Jingxing gave a detailed presentation.

For example, fold the protective case and tablet into a small triangle, and then place the tablet stably on the table, while people lie on the sofa and watch TV quietly without having to hold the device all the time.

Another example is playing a racing game. As Xia Jingxing kept shaking the tablet, the car on the screen passed through twists and turns thrillingly and excitingly under the gravity sensor...

The visual impact brought by a large screen is far stronger than that of a mobile phone.

Compared with previous generations of renaissance mobile phones, when tablets came out, the Android App Store already had more than 200,000 apps, which can be described as a dazzling array of everything.

Soon, the product display session officially ended, and the audience felt that they still had something to say.

Xia Jingxing stood up, returned to the center of the stage, and said, "It's the moment that everyone is most looking forward to, the moment when the price is revealed.

fxpad1 has designed a total of two models and six versions.

WiFi models, 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb versions are priced at US$499, 599, and 699 respectively;

WiFi+3g models, 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb versions are priced at US$629, 729, and 829 US dollars respectively.

All six versions of the two models use a 9.7-inch capacitive screen with a resolution of 1024x768, a running memory of 256b, a size of 242.8x189.7x12, and a weight of 660 grams. "

As soon as Xia Jingxing finished speaking, everyone in the audience applauded.

No one thought it was expensive or had any problems.

Fuxing Mobile has been on sale in the United States for more than two years and almost three years. It has already established itself as a brand and has a group of loyal fans.

After the fxpad1 conference, there was a half-hour intermission, and then the DJI Phantom 2 product conference was held.

It has been a year and a half since the launch of DJI Phantom 1. Relying on the global sales and brand operation network of Fuxing Mobile, DJI, a drone sub-brand under Fuxing Industries, has achieved very good sales in developed regions such as the United States and Europe. As a result, he has a large number of die-hard fans.

Countless people have long been looking forward to DJI launching more powerful products.

DJI Phantom 1 is actually a product with a certain experimental nature. After its launch, DJI collected a lot of feedback and suggestions from users. The second product launched made up for many of the shortcomings of the first product.

For example, cameras have become smaller and their installation locations have become more reasonable.

In addition, flight control system, power system, battery life and other indicators have been improved to varying degrees.

Overall, it is still not as high as Xia Jingxing wants. For example, the perception and obstacle avoidance capabilities are still not good. The image recognition project team of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory needs to achieve greater technological breakthroughs before DJI can truly grow ears and eyes. , become more intelligent.

At present, it is still in the early stage of development, the product needs to be polished, and the market needs to be further cultivated.

However, after watching Xia Jingxing's display and listening to the introduction, the audience present felt very satisfied. The second-generation product is not just a little bit more powerful than the first-generation product, but a huge leap in performance.

The most important thing is that the performance has improved but the price has not increased.

The DJI Phantom 1 is priced at US$699, and the Phantom 2 is still only priced at US$699.

Listening to the warm cheers from the audience and looking at the smiling faces, Xia Jingxing also smiled.

In fact, DJI's supply chain has become more mature. The first-generation product sold for US$699 was just hard-earned money, but the gross profit of the second-generation product is close to that of Fuxing mobile phones, exceeding 50%.

He actually thought about lowering the price, but prices are hard to lower but hard to raise.

Moreover, there are no heavyweight competitors at the moment, and DJI’s technology has not yet reached the point where it can break through the small circle, so there is no need to struggle with money.

Of course, money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the quality cannot be reduced. This is a black technology from China. It is sold too cheaply and is easily looked down upon by foreigners.

We must have confidence in ourselves. Renaissance Industry is definitely not synonymous with cheap manufacturing in China.

Whether it is Fuxing mobile phones, DJI, or Fuxing cars that will be launched in the future, all of them must take a high-end route and condense their divinity.
