Chapter 172 Xiaomi TF Memory Card Is Launched

"Can it be done?"

Li Zhi soon came to report to Mo Ran in person. Unexpectedly, after hearing the whole story, Mo Ran's first sentence was to ask about the production capacity of "3D-NAND" flash memory particles.

"Enough...should be enough!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said:

"Currently, our 3D flash memory particles are not sold externally. We only supply the 'Jinghong series' and solid-state drives internally, and we can produce them."

"And I will make appropriate adjustments based on the situation at that time."

"That'll do!"

Moran tapped his fingers on the desk, his eyes showing cold determination.

"I don't want the offer of 167 yuan, but I have to pay 175 yuan. Since they want to be resentful, let's make it happen!"

"It just so happens that in the past few days, I have been thinking about how to consume this large amount of production capacity without selling it to the public after mass production of our '3D-NAND' flash memory particles.

Now that it’s all right, let’s let them take over, sell it all to them, and let them digest it quietly for us! "

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi was surprised and happy. He did not expect that Mr. Mo was not conservative on the matter of "3D-NAND" flash memory particles.

He was so excited that he wanted to speak, but at this moment, Mo Ran's tone became serious and he continued:

"Lao Li, you have a very heavy task next!"

"You must seize the time to quickly increase the production capacity of the 'TF memory card' production department and complete Xiaomi's order of 10 million memory cards as soon as possible. Don't delay, and then..."

"To find a way to get more orders from them, let us dump more 'flash particles' and 'TF memory cards' to them!"

"but……"

Having said this, a trace of cruelty flashed across Mo Ran's face, and he whispered:

"But we must be careful about this matter and not let anyone else know the specific details!"

"What we have to do is to be low-key, low-key, low-key, and quietly supply Xiaomi!"

Li Zhi's face instantly became solemn, and he immediately understood what Mo Ran was thinking.

Mr. Mo doesn’t want to disclose “3D-NAND” flash memory particles, but that doesn’t stop him from making a lot of money by dumping “3D-NAND” in large quantities to Xiaomi!

What I have to do is to make a fortune silently!

After a while, an inexplicable pleasure of "stealing a chicken" suddenly flashed through his heart.

"Okay! I understand, Mr. Mo!"

…

With Mo Ran's permission, a production agreement between "Yellow River Storage" and Xiaomi was quickly signed.

The final agreement between the two parties is:

Xiaomi will entrust "Yellow River Storage" to produce 10 million TF memory cards, including 5 million with 128GB capacity, and the purchase price is 175 yuan.

256GB capacity 3 million sheets, purchase price 345 yuan.

In the end, 64GB and 512GB each have 1 million copies, and the purchase prices are 85 yuan and 640 yuan respectively.

At the same time, "Yellow River Storage" promises that it will not increase prices within six months regardless of whether costs increase.

After reaching an agreement with Xiaomi, Li Zhi immediately started to take action.

He first contacted Hynix to urgently purchase 1 million "flash memory particles" that it was willing to provide to ensure inventory. At the same time, he also called Gao Qiang, the head of the "3D-NAND" production department, and began to arrange to expand the production capacity of 3D flash memory particles.

the other side,

Wang Xiaole, the "TF memory card" production department, also received a notice to urgently purchase production equipment and expand production capacity.

This is not the end.

Li Zhi required the "TF Memory Card" production department to design and produce a "Xiaomi TF Memory Card" sample within five days.

Wang Xiaole went crazy with his work.

Fortunately, the "TF memory card" production department at this time already had its own R&D team, and it was no longer the original system that had to rely on itself to design the "NetEase Strict Selection".

Three days later, a slightly modified "Xiaomi TF memory card" based on the "Jinghong series" U3 high-speed memory card was produced.

Li Zhi immediately contacted Xiaomi Group. There was no surprise. Two days later, Xiaomi sent back a notice that "the test passed and can be finalized for mass production."

"TF memory card" is not a high-tech product in the first place, and it is expected that it can be passed quickly. Then, after Xiaomi paid the first 30% payment of about 800 million, "Yellow River Storage" TF memory production was completely around the clock. Working overtime 24 hours a day, the machines were so trampled that they started to smoke.

No, to be precise, it is not just the "TF memory card" production department that is smoking.

The "3D-NAND" flash memory particle production department has also entered a stage of rapidly increasing production capacity due to Xiaomi's order of 10 million units. A large number of wafers are sent to the photolithography machine to make 32-layer "3D-NAND" flash memory particles!

For a time, the wafer purchase volume of "Yellow River Storage" increased sharply!

Half a month passed like this.

April 20th.

Good news comes from the TF memory card powder production department of "Yellow River Storage".

After half a month of emergency overtime production, Xiaomi's first batch of 700,000 "Xiaomi TF memory cards" has been produced and can be delivered.

Xiaomi is different from Nietzsche. Nietzsche produces "Jinghong series" memory cards mainly because they are only used as accessories for "Nietzsche mobile phones" and are given as gifts to mobile phone customers.

But the Xiaomi brand itself has a wide range of businesses. In addition to common mobile phones, TVs, air conditioners and other products, Xiaomi also sells hair dryers, vacuum cleaners and even batteries, water-based pens, screwdrivers and other small commodities.

Therefore, after receiving the first batch of 700,000 "Xiaomi Memory Cards" from "Yellow River Storage", Xiaomi's sales department does not need to wait for June 1 to be launched simultaneously with "Xiaomi 8". It is better to go on sale now. Just warm it up and mention it at the press conference.

Soon, three days later.

April 23rd.

"Xiaomi U3 high-speed TF memory card" officially appeared in Xiaomi Mall and major e-commerce platforms, and was officially sold to the entire network.

The retail price is:

64GB capacity: 99 yuan.

128GB capacity: 199 yuan.

256GB capacity: 399 yuan.

512GB capacity: 699 yuan!

Compared with Nietzsche's "Jinghong series", compared with SanDisk and other first-tier manufacturers, the entire series of "Xiaomi TF memory cards" range from as little as ten yuan to as much as twenty or thirty yuan. The prices of all models are higher than those of other manufacturers. Be low!

It can be said that Xiaomi's traditional "cost-effectiveness" is fully achieved.

Even without much publicity, such pricing has attracted the attention of many Xiaomi fans and netizens.

"Damn it, when did Xiaomi release the 'TF memory card'? At this price, this price/performance ratio is great!"

"128GB only costs 199 yuan. I just saw the 'SanDisk' which costs 239 yuan. Even Nietzsche's 'Jinghong Series' costs 229 yuan. Xiaomi's pricing is indeed conscientious, but will there be any problems with the quality?"

"Xiaomi's quality control is something to be assured of. By the way, which foundry did Xiaomi find to produce this? SanDisk or Kingston? It can't be made in China, right?"

"Damn it, isn't it written on the promotional page? The manufacturer of 'Yellow River Storage' is the same manufacturer that OEMed Nietzsche's 'Jinghong Series'! Let me tell you, Xiaomi did a great job this time! It should support domestic enterprises more! Lei Busley always sets a good example!"

"Eh... I'm so excited when you say that! The 'Jinghong Series' manufactured by 'Yellow River Storage' has a very good reputation for quality, and Xiaomi's should be fine too. I happen to want to buy a 256GB memory card, so I might as well just Forget it if you support domestic purchases of Xiaomi.”

"Hurry up and buy the one upstairs. I heard that the price of memory cards will increase again soon!"

"Yes, I also heard that it is going to go up, but... I still bought the 'Jinghong Series'. Who said that the 'Brilliant S1' is only compatible with the 'Jinghong Series'!"

It's hotly discussed on the Internet.

Xiaomi already has a lot of fans. Coupled with the sincere cost-effectiveness of the "Xiaomi TF Memory Card" and the aura of "supporting domestic production", sales soon began to increase.

After 24 hours, sales on JD.com and Xiaomi Mall alone exceeded expectations.

Fifty thousand copies were sold that day.

This is the sales volume of "Xiaomi 8" before it is launched.

Once the "Xiaomi 8" that "supports TF memory card slot" is launched, the sales volume of "Xiaomi TF memory card" will undoubtedly skyrocket!

That night, Li Zhi received an urging call from Ke Yu of Xiaomi Group.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhi immediately called Wang Xiaole, the head of the "TF memory card" production department.

"Wang Xiaole, when will the newly purchased equipment be ready? Xiaomi is urging us!"

Wang Xiaole, who was working overtime, felt numb.

Orders for the Jinghong series are still pending, and Xiaomi’s reminder is here again!

The machines in this fucking factory are going to smoke!

At twelve o'clock in the morning, "Yellow River Storage" midnight canteen.

The person in charge, Wang Xiaole, looked at Huang Shufen who was eating glutinous rice balls with a smile on his face.

"Sister Huang, no, Shufen..."

"Can you still work the night shift tomorrow?"

…
