Chapter 1229【1228】The meaning of Azolla

Under pressure, Li Miaoyu finally burst out with unprecedented efficiency. Just three days later, on the night of the 22nd, she posted the video of the review of the Jianghong series.

"Hello everyone, this is Miaomiao. The new products of the Jiangjin Wine series that were supposed to be released on the Double Ninth Festival this year did not arrive as scheduled. However, during the Xiyuan Festival, the Azolla 10 series was still put on the official website of Guci as scheduled. This is also the official website of Guci. This is the last 10 series product among the six series of products..."

In the video, Li Miaoyu was in the shooting corner of the studio that is familiar to most viewers. Only his upper body was exposed and he was wearing a white turtleneck sweater. He looked elegant and refined. He was squatting on the table next to him and sleeping soundly, which also attracted the attention of the audience. Got a lot of looks.

"Cat Cat"

"Meow cute"

"It's just yah"

"The six major series?"

"The eight major series, don't Zhengqi Ge and Qin Yuanchun not count?"

"Good guy, you've started to look back too, haven't you?"

"Anyone watching this video would use Azolla?"

“I think it’s pretty good, giving the Azolla series a little more popularity.”

“Azolla’s annual sales are now in the tens of millions, and many silent majority are using it.”

……

During the discussion on the barrage, Li Miaoyu continued: "I don't know if it is because of the silence of ancient poetry and Huawei. The digital circle this year feels less lively than before. Recently, everyone seems to be releasing review videos, so I will also make one. alright.

"The Azolla series may be the company of ancient poetry, and it is also the mobile phone with the highest total sales volume among all domestic mobile phones. The shipment volume of each generation is more than 4000 million. The first generation Azolla even has a sales volume of close to [-] million units for a single model. Whether it is about wine or wine, Birdsong Stream has not yet been able to break this record.

"There are many reasons. On the one hand, the competition in the mobile phone market is too fierce now, and consumers have many choices. On the other hand, it is of course the price of the Azolla series. After all, the vast majority of consumers will buy wine when faced with prices starting at 5000. You have to hesitate, and Azolla, which is sold starting at 799, will not put too much pressure on the wallet for most consumers..."

Li Miaoyu analyzed it very seriously, "What I have in front of me now is the first generation of Manjianghong. It was released on December 2011, 12, the 7th day of the [-]th month of the lunar calendar. It was a time of heavy snow. At that time, the first generation of Jijinjiu had just been released. Is there anything wrong with it? A few people are complaining that the price of imported wine is too expensive, saying that Mr. Wei has forgotten his original intention and so on... Then, the Azolla series came."

She smiled sweetly in the video, "I believe many people remember the slogan of the first generation of Azolla, please put it on the screen..."

“Always believe that good things are about to happen!”

“Always believe that good things are about to happen!”

“Let more people enjoy the fun of technology!”

“Always believe that good things are about to happen!”

"Boss Wei is awesome"

“Since then, the domestic copycat mobile phone market has begun to die out.”

……

In the video, the original press conference poster of the Azolla series appeared, and the two lines of words on it were very conspicuous.

"By the way, it's 'let more people enjoy the fun of technology and always believe that good things are about to happen'. Later, these two sentences became the slogan of the Azolla series, and they are still on the promotional pages and packaging of the Azolla series products. On the box, now ten years have passed, do you think the ancient poems have fulfilled the promise Wei Qingfan made?"

"done"

"done"

"High-end series depends on ability, low-end series depends on conscience."

“Huawei has achieved the former, Xiaomi has achieved the latter, and Mr. Wei has achieved both.”

……

Almost all the comments on the barrage were full of approval and praise. There is no way, the price of 799 has been sold from 2011 to 2021. Even if they are dissatisfied with the product, most people still hold a positive attitude on this point.

"Actually, from the current perspective, the product quality of Azolla 1 is not outstanding. It only has a 4-inch 854*480 resolution screen. Even if it is a small screen, the display effect of this screen is not outstanding; 512 MB The running space and 2G of body storage space are certainly small now, but at that time, mobile phones with 256 MB of running memory were everywhere on the market...

"It has two cameras, of course not dual cameras, it means a front camera, which was a very advanced configuration at the time. The rear camera is 500 million pixels and the front camera is 30 pixels... I took two pictures You can take a look at the photo..."

Two photos were released in the video, both of which were of herself. They were blurry and noisy, but her near-perfect and exquisite appearance still elevated the beauty of these two photos to a level that they did not belong to.

"nice!"

“A camera with such a vintage feel cannot hide the wonderful beauty.”

"I envy Mr. Wei every day"

"This is just from the current perspective. Azolla 1's configuration has no rival in the thousand-yuan phone market in 2011."

"I was in junior high school at the time, and I dreamed of owning a Manjianghong."

……

“It’s worth noting the processor inside this phone. This MTK6578M processor has a single core and a main frequency of 1.1G Hz. Its performance is not very strong, but it can be said to be the beginning of Gu Shici Company’s self-developed processor. Because this processor is customized from MediaTek, Gushici Company has initially accumulated some experience in chip design through this customized processor... This is very similar to Apple, which initially also customized its processor from Samsung..."

Li Miaoyu has a very deep memory of this "history", "Although these configurations seem very simple to us now, in 2011, this configuration was already very powerful. Usually, mobile phones with this configuration are sold for more than 1000 yuan, or even It is normal to sell for 1500 yuan... but the ancient poem only sells for 799!

"Moreover, the most powerful competitiveness and attraction of this mobile phone is not actually the hardware, but the Luoshen system it is equipped with! The first generation of Azolla was shipped with the latest Luoshen system version 3.3, and was later updated to Luoshen system version 6.0 , received a total of three major version system updates... Many flagship phones from Android manufacturers may not have such a long period of system maintenance."

This is the truth. Many Android manufacturers’ flagship phones only have two or even one major version of the system update, let alone a thousand-yuan phone.

“This is really conscientious”

"When I was in high school, I used a Redmi phone that my mother had eliminated. After I got it, I upgraded to the Luoshen 6.0. I didn't feel it at the time, but later I realized how conscientious Mr. Wei was."

“Indeed, apart from Apple, no one can compare with Gu Shici in terms of system maintenance.”

"Hahaha, I am using Azolla 2 which my brother eliminated, and it seems to have been updated to 7.0 in the end."

"Manjiang Hongdu has three major version updates, Qingyu Case four times, and Linjiang Immortal above five times."

……

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage, and many people mentioned their "past events". After all, the first generation of Azuki Red sold nearly 4000 million units, covering a wide range of people.

"For system maintenance for such a long time, in addition to the subjective will of Gushici Company, there is also an objective factor, which is the number of users. After the release of Azolla 1, it can be said that the entire network is abuzz. After it goes on sale, it is difficult to find a machine. The three parties quickly raised more than 1000 yuan...

"In addition, there is another interesting thing about the first generation of Azolla. It is the first time that Wei Qingfan has hosted the launch of the Azolla series, and it is also the last time to actually host the product launch of the Guci brand. However, although Mr. Wei no longer Hosted the Azolla press conference, but the spirit left by Mr. Wei always runs through the Azolla series products... uh,"

At this point, the girl in the video paused, tilted her head, and then blinked, "There seems to be something wrong with this sentence..."

"Hahahaha!"

"Yin Rong Wan Zai, right?"

"Laughing to death" "Wei Qingfan: How do you think I will deal with you?"

"You're laughing so hard. Mr. Wei doesn't watch the video?"

……

There was laughter on the barrage, and Li Miaoyu coughed, and then said: "It's not important. Anyway, the first generation of Azolla was undoubtedly a huge success, but the second generation of Azolla was not released in 2012, but to It was released only after the Linjiangxian press conference in 2013. This is because the first generation of Manjianghong was so successful that there was no rush to launch a new model, and it was also due to the need to adjust the press conference time, because the products of Gushici Company are ordered from high to low. For those who held a press conference, Azolla was launched too early, which was a bit overstepped.

"The screen of Azolla 2 has increased from 4 inches to 4.3 inches, and the resolution has increased from 480P to 640P. The positioning of Azolla in ancient words and the method of distinguishing on the screen have already appeared at this time, because the resolution of 1152*648 does not It’s not common, but Gu Ci would rather customize the screen than distinguish it from the Sapphire Case...

"It is still a customized MediaTek processor, the memory has been upgraded to 1G, the rear camera has been upgraded to 800 million pixels, and the front camera has been upgraded to 120 million pixels, but the actual improvement in photo effects is very limited... In addition to the standard version, this generation of Azolla 2 also brings a collector's edition, with the screen increased from 4.3 to 4.7 inches, and the battery increased from 1900 mAh to 2300 mAh...

"In those two years, the screen size of smartphones has been increasing, and the same is true for the Azolla series. However, at the beginning, ancient poems had some meaning of dividing high-end and low-end by screen size, and many configurations of Azolla are also inherited. Since the Linjiangxian series.

"On the Xiyuan Festival of 2014, the release time of the Azolla series was finally adjusted. The standard version of this generation has a 5-inch screen, and the Collector's Edition has a 5.5-inch large screen, but..."

Li Miaoyu pursed her lips and smiled in the video, "You know! The standard version of the 5-inch large screen has a resolution of 1152*648, while the collector's version of the 5.5-inch large screen has a resolution of 1280*720. I believe everyone is familiar with this. Are you familiar with resolution?"

She paused slightly, opened her eyes wide, and her tone became a little excited: "Eight years in a row! In eight years, the Azolla series still has this resolution!"

The barrage was immediately filled with:
"Wei Qingfan!"

"Wei Qingfan!"

"Wei Qingfan!"

"Wei Qingfan!"

……

“The Azolla 3 series can be said to be the first generation machine of the Azolla series. The biggest reason is that it is equipped with Gushici Company’s first self-developed processor Taibai Gui 1. This processor was launched in the Jiu 3 Guisi version last year. , and then it was successively installed on Niaomingjian 3 Guisi Edition, Sauvignon Blanc 3 Series, Linjiang Xian 3 Guisi Edition, and Qingyu An 3 Series. The price went down all the way, and was finally transferred to Manjiang Red...

“Although this is Gushici Company’s first self-developed processor, the first generation is already very mature. Although there are some overturns in the mid-to-high frequency, after the Azolla 3 series has reached the maximum frequency, the power consumption and heat control have been improved. very talented……

"The Azolla 3 series is also equipped with Luoshen system version 5.5. So what system can it be updated to? Can you guess?"

Li Miaoyu made a fuss in the video, but many people knew about this, and she was not here to guess the riddles. She quickly continued: "It can be updated to the Nuwa system!"

“This is really outrageous”

“Mr. Wei is really working hard to increase the installed capacity of the Nuwa system.”

"Unfortunately, only Nuwa system 1.0 has been updated, and there is no way to update 2.0."

"I just opened it and took a look. The latest system is Nuwa system 1.5.2. There is no way to upgrade to Nuwa 2.0."

"An announcement was made a few days ago. Nuwa System 2.0 will be adapted in the future."

"Isn't Nuwa 3.0 already in internal testing? Why are you still adapting to 2.0?"

“After all, only when the installed capacity increases, developers will adapt.”

“Looking forward to the real Nuwa system”

……

“Jianjiu 2013 introduced fingerprint recognition in 3. Two years later, during the Xiyuan Festival in 2015, waist round keys equipped with fingerprint recognition finally appeared on the Azolla series products. With performance upgrades, power consumption is better. Gui2 processor, Azolla 4 has also become a popular model... Its total sales reached 2800 million units..."

"So far, the major update of the Azolla series has been completed, and subsequent products are mainly regular updates. This is also related to the overall lack of innovation in the mobile phone industry...

"In 2018, the Azolla 7 series finally received another major update. The standard version still has a 5.5-inch traditional screen and is still sold starting at 799. The collector's version has been upgraded to a 6.5-inch water drop full screen with a resolution of 720P. This tradition is also It has been extended to the latest Azolla 10..."

“The screen of Azolla 10 is no different from previous generations. The resolution remains the same, the brightness is slightly increased, and the borders are narrower... The biggest change should be the rear camera of the Collector’s Edition. The main camera has finally been upgraded to 4800 million. Pixels, the actual shooting effect is limited, but the digital zoom capability has been improved. The measured 2x focal length is very practical. Some algorithms should be decentralized, which is enough for people with low needs..."

"The standard version still has a 1200-megapixel single camera, and the hardware is the same as 9 or even 8. There is no change. The inventory is still being cleared, but the actual shooting effect has improved, which should be due to the improvement of the algorithm... But anyway, the standard version is still 799 The starting price for the collector's edition is still 1299. As long as it is updated every year, I have no more requirements for it. Just squeeze out the toothpaste."

Li Miaoyu's videos have always been as objective as possible, but at this time he couldn't help but say more, "Maybe some viewers don't know why I said that, or even why Guci updates the Manjianghong series every year... Our country has so far There are hundreds of millions of people whose monthly income is less than 1500 yuan. They still have to survive and live, and their budget for mobile phones is very limited. The price of Azolla 799 seems cheap to us, but for them, it may be too much. Very expensive.

"The configuration of Azolla is indeed not very strong, with 3G of running memory, 720P screen, plastic body, no infrared and no NFC... Even at the price of 799, we can find a phone with more powerful configurations than it..."

The Redmi 10A, which Xiaomi just launched this year, appeared on the screen. "However, we can see that these more powerful mobile phones at the same price are available, so can the people who need to buy them be able to buy them? They may not trust the Internet. For shopping, they may not shop online... In short, in their world, these mobile phones with more powerful configurations cannot appear in the lives of most people who need to buy them.

"So, we can see some brands' products with worse configurations, because these brands can present their products in front of these people, so they can sell worse configurations at higher prices..."

Li Miaoyu was slightly excited when he said this, "I really didn't mean to praise the Jianghong series. It has many shortcomings. For example, it seems to be updated every year. In fact, the real update may only be once every two years. However, it It can reach the users who need it, and these are not without cost.

"The Azolla standard edition starts at 799. Even if Guci has been using the old mold and the hardware is only upgraded every two years, even if every method is used to save costs, how much profit can it make? How much profit can it give to channel dealers?

"If you were a channel dealer or a store owner, would you rather sell Jiangjin Wine and Bird Song Stream, which cost 799 to [-] yuan, or Manjianghong, which cost [-] yuan?

“More than 60% of the tens of millions of sales of the Azolla series are sold through offline channels. These channels include Gushici’s own direct stores and after-sales stores, but most of them are found in small counties and towns. Channel dealers, these channel dealers don’t like to sell Azolla. They are forced to do so by the ancient poetry company. If they want to sell Jiangjin Wine and Bird Song Stream, they must match a certain amount of Azolla before they can purchase the goods. This forces the channel dealers not to do so. Don’t buy Azolla and sell it everywhere..."

"seriously"

"Fuck, is there such an operation?"

“The configuration of Redmi 10A is indeed better, but it is true that it can only be purchased online.”

"There are also offline channels, but Xiaomi's offline channels are indeed very different from ancient poetry, and they are not of the same order of magnitude."

"To be honest, even if the price of Azolla rose to 1999, some people would buy it."

“Anyway, Azolla configuration is really rubbish”

"The after-sales service of big brands is not just about this price."

"Why don't you go see how much the Gushi mobile phone sells for after one year of sales?"

“Xiaomi’s profits are too low, so it can’t operate offline.”

"No matter how much you cheat, Jianghong is more conscientious than Changxiang and nova se, right?"

“One thing to say, although the configuration is not very good, the smoothness of the Azolla series has always been good, and it is stable and has almost no bugs. It is better than the flagships of some brands.”

"Xiaomi: You'd better not be talking about me"

"If one day the price of the Azolla series increases or it is not updated, HOV will probably be even more deceitful."

"Indeed, as long as the Azolla series is constantly updated, other companies will not dare to mess around."
