Chapter 422 Sold Out
In early April, the weather in Hangzhou was already a bit hot.
Gao Yuan took a plane and arrived in Beijing again. This time he went to Beijing at the invitation of Rebus to attend the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference.
Unlike Hangzhou, the temperature in Beijing this season is still a bit low. If you are outdoors, the cold wind will blow, and you can still feel a little chilly without wearing a thick coat.
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was shining brightly, that I felt pleasant.
If you go further north, to the Northeast, there is still snow in some high-altitude places.
The only thing that makes people happy is that the flowers in the capital are in full bloom this season, and the northern spring has arrived.
After the desolation of winter, there is some greenery in the forest belt along the street.
Rebus went to the airport to greet Gao Yuan, then got into Gao Yuan's special car and headed to the hotel where the press conference was held.
On the way, Rebus smiled and introduced to Gao Yuan: "The environment in the capital is much better than it was ten years ago. I remember ten years ago, every March and April, strong winds blew from the northwest of the capital. The sand surrounded the entire capital."
"At that time, you had to wear a mask when going out, otherwise the smell of sand and dust would be in your nose. When you go to bed at night, you must close the doors and windows. Many families also purchased air purifiers and left them on 24 hours a day."
"Today's capital is much better. In the northwest of the capital, many forest belts and isolation belts have been built to prevent wind and sand, and the greening rate of the desert is also increasing."
At the transition between winter and spring, northwest and northeasterly winds blow in China. The northwest region is mostly Gobi and desert, with yellow sand all over the sky.
As a result, the weather in the capital is not very good. In recent years, afforestation has been carried out, and the environment in the capital has gradually improved.
"Mr. Lei has been in the capital since 1992, right?"
Gao Yuan asked.
"Yes, I graduated from college in 1991 and came to work at Jinshan Company in Beijing in 1992." Rebus said, "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Rebus has witnessed the development of Beijing over the past thirty years and has a lot of emotions.
The thirty years of Rebus are also called the thirty years of cheating. He graduated from a university in Hubei Province in 1991, joined Kingsoft Software Company in 1992, and served as the development manager. In 1994, he served as The general manager of the department was promoted to CEO in 1998 and led the company to go public in 2007.
Then he resigned and began to work as an angel investor. In 10 years, he founded Xiaomi Company, which is where he is today.
Any piece of his resume would be like exploding to the outside world.
"Awesome!"
Gao Yuan praised.
"Compared to Mr. Gao, it's still far behind." Rebus said modestly.
If he is called a cheater in his life, he will be a great male protagonist in Shuangwen. Then Gao Yuan really cheated. In just a few years, he built Yuanfang Group into the capital giant it is today.
…
Along the way, the two did not talk about work, but about the changes in the capital in the past thirty years.
It wasn't until we almost arrived at the hotel where the press conference was held that we ended the chat with unfinished content.
For Rebus, although Gao Yuan was younger than him and considered a junior in business, talking with Gao Yuan made him feel happy both physically and mentally.
"In one hour, the press conference will officially begin. I will prepare first. Mr. Gao, please go to your room and take a rest."
Rebus said.
"No problem, Mr. Lei, you can go and do your work first."
Gao Yuan went straight to the hotel room to rest, while Rebus had already begun preparations for the press conference.
Over the years, every time there is a new product launch for Xiaomi mobile phones, Rebus will personally attend.
Before Gao Yuan appeared, Rebus was undoubtedly the number one IP among domestic entrepreneurs. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Rebus launches a press conference and uses live broadcast, millions of netizens will flock in to watch the press conference in an instant.
Indirectly, it saves enterprises no less than several hundred million in GG fees.
Other companies followed suit and imitated Rebus, led by Lao Zhou. No matter what Rebus did, Lao Zhou would learn from it.
This has also led to many people on the Internet joking that if Rebus writes an autobiography, the author must be Lao Zhou.
Rebus' understanding of himself was far inferior to that of Lao Zhou and the like.
"Are you ready?"
Rebus chatted with the staff backstage for a long time about the details. Seeing that the time for the press conference was coming soon, Rebus asked the staff about it.
"Mr. Lei, all the equipment has been debugged and there is no problem."
the staff member replied.
Rebus is very strict in controlling details. According to him, there can be no mistakes in this kind of press conference.
"good!"
Rebus entered the venue.
The next second, there was warm applause from the audience. Rebus glanced at the audience and immediately saw Gao Yuan sitting in the first row.
Immediately, Rebus smiled and nodded towards Gao Yuan.
"Good evening to all my classmates and Mr. Gao who came all the way from Hangzhou."
"Thirteen years ago, in a residential building in Beijing, a few of us drank a bowl of millet porridge and officially decided to start a business. It was a tough year and it was not easy to get to where we are today step by step. To be honest, Even I didn’t expect that Xiaomi mobile phones would reach this point.”
"As of last year, our global sales of Xiaomi mobile phones reached 140 million units. Without Mi Fans, we would not be where we are today, let alone Xiaomi mobile phones today."
"If a company wants to develop steadily, it cannot do without the strong support of all the students, and it cannot do without the hard work of our Xiaomi employees."
"..."
Leibs first talked about the development of Xiaomi over the years, and then talked about the cooperation with Gao Yuan.
Although the cooperation between Xiaomi and Yuanfang Group started several months ago, many people still don't know about it.
Through Lei Jun's explanation, the audience had a straightforward impression.
"Next, let's invite Mr. Gao Yuan to the stage."
Leibs said.
He invited Gao Yuan to participate in this press conference with the purpose of pulling Gao Yuan to the stage.
When Gao Yuan walked onto the stage, warm applause broke out from the audience.
The live broadcast room, which originally had millions of people, instantly soared to tens of millions.
After learning about the number of viewers in the backstage, Lei Jun was shocked. It really deserves to be Mr. Gao, and his popularity is too high.
At least more than 1 billion GG fees were saved.
On the stage, Gao Yuan slowly spoke, "To be honest, my first mobile phone was a Xiaomi phone. At that time, I was still a student and couldn't afford high-end phones like Apple and 4-star. The quality of those miscellaneous brand phones was too poor, and the price-performance ratio of Xiaomi phones was the highest."
"At that time, I became very interested in Xiaomi phones. I didn't expect that a few years later, I would cooperate with Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi phones, to launch this hot series of phones together..."
Since he was standing up for Lei Jun, Gao Yuan must have said something nice.
Xiaomi phones are indeed the youth of many people and the first mobile phone they used.
They use this phone to play games with friends and chat with their first love until late at night.
Maybe many years later, they have jobs and income, which can support them to buy more expensive phones, but the experience that Xiaomi phones bring to them is different.
Mobile phones can be changed, but youth will never come back.
"I am a senior Mi fan. When the Xiaomi mobile phone was first released, the price was 1999. Do you know how excited I was? It was like finding a treasure. After buying the Xiaomi mobile phone, I was very happy for a month. Now I have money and use Huawei mobile phones, but in my heart, the Xiaomi mobile phone is really a memory of youth."
"I remember the Xiaomi mobile phone I used before. It was full of photos of me and my girlfriend. My girlfriend is very good, but unfortunately I lost her in the end."
"When I was in school, many of my classmates used Xiaomi mobile phones. We went out for barbecues and picnics and had so much fun. Now I am old and rich, but those happy times can't go back..."
"..."
Thousands of invited audiences were sitting in the audience. After hearing Gao Yuan's words, they all fell into memories.
Maybe the Xiaomi mobile phone is not the best, but in their hearts, the Xiaomi mobile phone has accompanied them through the most green years.
"Ahem... My son is a fan of Xiaomi mobile phones. He hides in Xiaomi mobile phone stores all day and plays games with Xiaomi mobile phones. I would like to call Xiaomi mobile phones the first Internet cafe for young people."
"Fuck, my son is the same. He is not allowed to play with mobile phones at home, so he makes an excuse to go out and play with his classmates, and ends up hiding in Xiaomi mobile phone stores with his classmates to play King of Glory."
"Xiaomi mobile phones are really powerful. They start to cultivate children when they are young. If another 10 or 20 years pass, will those children say that they owe Xiaomi a mobile phone?"
"..."
Xiaomi mobile phones have recently become popular because the clerks in mobile phone stores do not chase children away. Those children can play games with their mobile phones in the store. Not to mention, the skills of the children are so fierce.
As Gao Yuan's wave of memories ended, the press conference entered its climax.
Lei Jun began to explain the product. "The Xiaomi mobile phone hot series uses a brand-new system. This system was developed jointly by us and Yuanfang Group. The stability of the new system is far superior to other mobile phones."
"We have compared the systems of Apple mobile phones, four-star mobile phones and even Huawei mobile phones. The result of the comparison is that our Xiaomi mobile phone hot series beats them in all aspects."
"Such a mobile phone is simply awesome!"
"In addition, the new hot series mobile phones have more functions. In terms of design layout, we have adopted a bold design that is closer to the use of young people..."
After Lei Jun explained the new system of the mobile phone, he instantly attracted the attention of many fans.
Then, Lei Jun began to announce the price, "The price of this mobile phone is not 5999, nor 4999, let alone 3999. The basic model is priced at 2999 yuan! After thirteen years of making mobile phones, we have always adhered to our original intention and created products that everyone likes to see and hear, so that more people can use our Xiaomi mobile phones and immerse themselves in the experience that Xiaomi mobile phones bring to everyone..."
As Lei Jun announced the price, the audience in the audience and the audience in the live broadcast room went crazy.
The mobile phone system is better than Apple's system. How confident do you have to say this?
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. The fact that Xiaomi's new mobile phone uses a new system instantly topped the hot search list of major websites.
Lei Jun gave an order and pre-sale officially started.
This time, the pre-sale of Xiaomi's new mobile phone is distributed on two platforms, one is the mall that comes with Xiaomi mobile phones, and the other is You APP.
In the first minute of the sale, the number of orders in Xiaomi Mall exceeded 30,000 units, and the number of orders on You APP exceeded 50,000 units.
This is just the first minute, and the sales volume has reached 80,000 units. I have to say it is too scary.
In the tenth minute after the sale, the number of orders placed on Xiaomi Mall exceeded 200,000 units, and the number of orders placed on You APP exceeded 350,000 units.
There is no doubt that the launch of the Hot Series mobile phones was a success.
It broke one million units in 15 minutes, 1.5 million units in half an hour, and 2 million units in an hour.
This is partly because the price-performance ratio of this mobile phone is really strong, and it is also undeniable that Gao Yuan played a role in it.
After all, this mobile phone is the first mobile phone made by Yuanfang and Xiaomi, and Yuanfang’s fans are still very satisfied with it.
After the press conference, Lei Jun held a banquet.
At the banquet, Lei Jun thanked Gao Yuan warmly.
"The sales of two million units in one hour has already refreshed the sales record of domestic mobile phones." Lei Jun said excitedly, "When some review bloggers get the new mobile phones tomorrow, they will definitely start to review them as soon as possible. I believe that our Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones will be popular again."
The main role and function of the mobile phone system is to manage and control the hardware resources of the mobile phone. Simply put, when using the mobile phone, the system can allocate the running memory occupied by each APP and how much hardware needs to be mobilized.
The reason why Apple mobile phones are awesome is that after some software exits and runs in the background, the Apple system minimizes the memory occupied by these software operations.
The closedness and security of Apple mobile phones are also second to none, and today, the Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones will break the monopoly of Apple mobile phones and become the best mobile phone in the world.
Of course, it is only the best mobile phone at present. When the Yuanfang mobile phone is launched, it will replace the Xiaomi mobile phone as the best mobile phone.
The flowering period of the Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones is very short, but it is also enough to be proud of.
And in terms of price, Xiaomi mobile phones are also aimed at the low-end market.
The price of 3,000 yuan has reached the extreme cost performance.
"Mr. Gao, I previously estimated that the annual sales volume would be more than 10 million. Now I think that the sales volume may really reach more than 20 million." Lei Jun is becoming more and more confident.
"I also believe that the Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones will create better results and make all mobile phone manufacturers look up to them." Gao Yuan praised, "It seems that our current production line is not enough. It's time to expand the production line."
With a sales volume of 20 million units a year, the production line of Xiaomi Hot Series mobile phones cannot produce them even if it does not stop for 24 hours.
Originally, Lei Jun held the press conference because he had hundreds of thousands of units in stock. He did expect it to be popular, but he did not expect it to be so popular.
