Chapter 1605 It's Really a Router (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yuan, the head of Ou Tu Technology."

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Ou Tu Technology's 'United Creation Future' new product launch. On behalf of President Pei, President Chang, and all my colleagues at Ou Tu Technology, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you all!"

"Since its establishment, Ou Tu Technology has been around for two years. Here, I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks on behalf of all my colleagues at Ou Tu Technology to all the fans who support and love Ou Tu Technology."

Jiang Yuan was still introducing the product in his usual steady manner.

His stage style was different from Chang You's. Chang You had a comedic effect as soon as he stepped onto the stage, always making people smile as if they had come to a stand-up comedy show.

Many people said that they couldn't help but laugh when they saw President Chang's face.

But Jiang Yuan's stage style seemed more refined, a bit like a relatively introverted good student.

However, Jiang Yuan had held many press conferences as the person in charge, so he was a familiar face to everyone. The audience knew that President Chang would definitely make a grand finale appearance for the upcoming new product, so they expressed their warm support for Jiang Yuan.

Many people couldn't help but sigh with emotion, never expecting that Ou Tu Technology had already passed its second birthday.

In the entire Tengda Group, Ou Tu Technology was considered a relatively late-established department, but in just two short years, Ou Tu Technology had actually carved out a path in the red sea market of mobile phones, established its own brand, and launched several popular single products. This achievement was indeed worthy of a little pride.

Jiang Yuan continued, "Before announcing this new mobile phone, I must first apologize to everyone."

"First, the price of this new mobile phone is not very beautiful. It may be difficult for many fans present to accept the price."

"Second, this phone does not use any of Ou Tu Technology's new technologies in terms of hardware."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the pricing of the phone appeared on the big screen.

Standard version: 22499, High-end version: 23499!

As soon as these words came out, everyone present burst into an uproar.

Too expensive!

You should know that Shenhua Group just held a press conference last weekend, and the price of the standard version of the folding screen phone at the press conference was only 17999!

As a result, the price of this phone from Ou Tu Technology directly increased by 4500 yuan, which was simply outrageous.

The key was that Jiang Yuan also said that this phone did not use any new technology in terms of hardware!

No new technology, and the price is so high! Did it want to fly to the sky?

Many people were stunned, wondering what Jiang Yuan was up to.

But everyone knew very well that Jiang Yuan had always been a very honest person, speaking directly and without any fancy words.

This meant that there must be a reason behind the high price.

This was not the most expensive phone sold to date. Some niche brands had completely turned their phones into luxury goods, selling them for even higher prices.

But among the mass-produced mainstream models, this should already be the highest price. Even the top flagship model of Pineapple Mobile had not sold for this price.

Jiang Yuan continued, "This is our Ou Tu x1 phone. Many people may find this photo looks familiar. That's right. This is Shenhua Group's latest folding-screen phone. These two phones are actually the same, exactly the same."

The photo of the Ou Tu x1 phone appeared on the big screen, and everyone was shocked to find that this was indeed the case. The only difference was that the Shenhua Group's logo on the phone was replaced with the Ou Tu Technology logo. Other than that, it was exactly the same.

A burst of discussion immediately rang out in the audience.

"Ah! So it's the same phone. Then isn't it redundant to hold this press conference? Wouldn't it be over if you just held it together with Shenhua Group's press conference?"

"This is boring! The previous phones were all independently designed. How come this time they directly copied Shenhua Group's design? In the future, they can't be considered a mobile phone manufacturer, but only a sales channel."

"I think this is pretty good, and I feel relieved instead. With Ou Tu Technology's current level, they definitely can't make a folding-screen phone with such a high degree of maturity. If it's not done well, then is there any need to launch a new model? Being able to obtain Shenhua Group's authorization and use this mature design solution, I think, is an attitude of responsibility to customers."

"Since it's the same phone, why is it so much more expensive?"

"Maybe it's added the welfare content of Tengda Group? If you're an old user of Ou Tu Technology, you should be able to save some money."

"But even after deducting 4,000 yuan, it's still 500 yuan more expensive, isn't it?"

Jiang Yuan told everyone directly and frankly that this phone was the same folding screen as Shenhua Group, completely identical. Some people were disappointed. After all, they had already learned about the various parameters of this phone at Shenhua Group's mobile phone launch last week. But some people were relieved, at least Ou Tu Technology was using Shenhua Group's mature design scheme, so they didn't have to worry about launching a semi-finished product.

But most people lost interest. Now that they knew it was the same as Shenhua Group's folding screen, why not buy Shenhua Group's phone?

Shenhua Group's folding screen was officially on sale these days, and Ou Tu Technology's phone was probably at the same time. Since these two phones were exactly the same, why wouldn't everyone go to buy Shenhua Group's phone? What unique competitiveness did Ou Tu Technology's phone have?

I'm afraid this Ou Tu x1 phone can only become a special machine for Tengda fans. It had no appeal to non-Tengda fans at all.

Jiang Yuan was not affected, and the press conference continued.

"I won't introduce the parameters of this phone. If you want to know, you can watch the replay of Shenhua Mobile's press conference again."

"Next, I will mainly introduce the improvements that Ou Tu Technology has made to this phone, namely customized appearance and customized system themes."

The audience was disappointed again.

Customized appearance, to put it nicely, was just changing the skin. And according to Jiang Yuan's meaning, it seemed that this time, the phone didn't even customize the shell, but just made a phone case.

As for the customized system theme, it was even more nonsense, nothing more than changing the interface UI.

Was it worth holding a special press conference to talk about these little changes?

Jiang Yuan continued to introduce the unique features of this phone case, which did have a clear distinction from the two phone cases that Shenhua Group was strongly promoting.

Shenhua Group mainly prepared ordinary version phone cases for some high-end business people, which were a plain leather version, while the phone cases purchased with extra money were cowhide protective cases.

On the other hand, Ou Tu Technology's side was a cyberpunk-style phone case, with a hollow design and two buckles, specially designed for mobile game players.

In addition, the customized cyberpunk system was also equipped with the Aeeis intelligent voice assistant, making the entire phone full of technology inside and out.

After listening to Jiang Yuan's introduction, the atmosphere at the scene finally recovered a little.

Some viewers did have some interest in this phone.

Mainly for some wealthy young people, Shenhua Group's phone was a bit too focused on business and did not highlight the personality of young people, while the phone case and system customized by Ou Tu Technology were very much in line with the tastes of young people.

But even so, the atmosphere at the scene was still not particularly enthusiastic. After all, just the phone case and customized theme were not attractive enough for everyone.

Although this phone case was very novel, 500 yuan was a bit too expensive! Moreover, everything on the PPT was beautified. How did this phone case actually feel? Was it easy to use? You still had to touch the real thing to know.

Jiang Yuan introduced the new phone in an orderly manner, and then left the stage, letting the press conference enter the next stage.

The audience was originally in a dull atmosphere, but after seeing Chang You take the stage, they immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

"The protagonist has finally appeared, President Chang is here!"

"Great! President Chang, what kind of baggage and surprises will you bring us this time?"

"Yay..."

While introducing himself to everyone and chatting with the audience, Chang You felt the enthusiasm of the audience.

Thinking back to the last press conference, he was still holding it during his suffering trip. At that time, he was on a deserted island, without relatives or friends, and only the audience in the live broadcast room brought him a trace of warmth.

Now he finally returned to the familiar stage of the press conference. He felt super good and full of passion. "First, let's take a look at the price of this new product."

As soon as Chang You finished speaking, several huge numbers appeared on the big screen: 4999.

And next to this price number, there was also a rough black silhouette, which could vaguely see the octopus shape of this router.

Chang You explained, "Some enthusiastic viewers should have already seen what our new product is this time through this shape. That's right, it is the first game-specific smart router that Tengda will release."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into a brief silence, and many people showed bewildered expressions on their faces.

Router?

Just a router?

Judging from the silhouette on the big screen, it was indeed a router, but judging from the size, it seemed to be slightly larger than other routers.

Of course, the photos were not accurate, because there were no specific dimensions marked. Many people thought it was just an enlarged photo.

The main reason was that the price of this router was a bit outrageous.

How could it be 4999?

At present, most of the mainstream routers on the market are basically within 500 yuan, and routers around 500 yuan are already very good routers.

And some professional e-sports-level routers can sell for more than 1,000 yuan, but these are very few examples, and the market is also very niche.

What kind of black technology did Tengda's router use? It could actually sell for 4999. If there was really such a black technology, other router manufacturers should have followed up long ago. How could Tengda be the first to release it?

As for the four words "game-specific" that Chang You said, many people felt that it was simply using a concept.

Because other router manufacturers have also released some so-called game-specific routers, but they are nothing more than specifically dividing a frequency band for games to use, or embedding some accelerator software. There was no essential difference from ordinary home routers.

If there was really a black technology that could greatly improve the gaming experience, other veteran router manufacturers would definitely have used it, and it was impossible for Tengda to be the first to release it.

Everyone had doubts on their faces and looked forward to how Chang You would introduce this product next.

Chang You smiled slightly: "First of all, let's watch a promotional video."
