Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 404: Opening the Door to the European and American Markets
"10 minutes and 21 seconds. It only takes 10 minutes and 21 seconds to fully charge a 10000 mAh super lithium battery. Mr. Chen did not exaggerate at all. This is a bit scary!"

After showing the collection certificate, Lin Xiaolong kept staring at the battery level of the Brilliant X2 phone.

After his four-hour test, the Brilliant X2 that users received was exactly the same as the Brilliant X2 presented at Chen Xing's press conference.

AB machine is a scam?
Data deception?

does not exist at all!

"Mr. Chen is so honest, he is simply an honest man, he didn't exaggerate at all, I think he should learn from Mr. Lei."

"I vaguely remember Mr. Lei's old six saying that the thickness of the self-developed notebook is thinner than a one-yuan coin. I didn't expect it to be vertical!"

"I was at the scene and was talking to the Mi fan next to me, wondering if they used some kind of compression technology or cloud technology. I didn't expect him to just stand the one-yuan coin upright. He was a complete loser!"

"Rebus: Are you OK?"

"Compared with other companies, Mr. Chen really seems like an honest businessman."

All the data were not falsified, and Ku Ke and Li Jae-yong finally felt relieved. They could only accept the fact that Brilliant X2 was far ahead and could not be caught up.

In the past, Chinese manufacturers were catching up, not only in semiconductor chips, information communications, OLED screens, camera lens modules, operating systems...

Now the situation has changed, and it is Apple and Hanxing Group's turn to catch up.

The chip is 7 nanometers and uses the most advanced double stacking technology of Huaxia chips.

Want to conquer stacking technology?
Sorry, it’s not that simple.

Stacking technology not only requires the redesign of the transistor structure, but also requires overcoming the chip heat dissipation problem. Invisibly, Longxing Group has built its own high wall.

Just like the patented technology of fuel vehicles that is airtight and can be stacked to dozens of meters thick, Longxing Group also has its own patent barriers.

Even if they master the chip stacking technology, there are still 5G high-speed networks and camera lens modules waiting for them to conquer.

Even if we take a step back and say that chip stacking technology, 5G high-speed networks and camera lens modules are all conquered, Apple and Hanxing Group can make progress, but Longxing Group cannot?

Who dares to assert that when competitors have mastered existing technologies, Longxing Group will not be able to develop 6G networks or 5-nanometer stacked chips?

"Ugh!"

The hotel's Ku Ke sighed.

Even Lee Jae-yong sighed at the same time. This time, they both witnessed what the rise of a great power meant.

Although they were devastated, neither of them turned off the live broadcast. They were still waiting for the Brilliant X2 to unfold its inner screen and switch to tablet mode for evaluation.

Just as they wished, after Lin Xiaolong finished measuring the data on the mobile phone, he placed his left thumb on the right side of the phone and said, "Now that we have measured the mobile phone, it's time to measure our tablet."

The words fell.

He used his thumb to pry open the inner screen.

As the built-in screen unfolds, the original 1.3CM body thickness is evenly divided into a tablet computer with a thickness of 0.65CM.

After unfolding the inner screen, Lin Xiaolong looked at the 15.64-inch tablet and couldn't help but sigh: "It's perfect. Not only is the body very thin and full of fashion, but also this folding screen, you can just say whether it's big or not."

Just after he finished speaking, he added: "Just imagine that you want to watch a movie while lying in bed. The bigger the OLED screen, the better. This phone can really meet all your needs."

Watching the review from such a close distance, the audience in the live broadcast room are not fools and they all have their own judgment.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

“The moment the OLED screen unfolds, I feel that the style of this phone is truly revealed and it fits my identity.”

"Originally I wanted to wait a little longer, but now I'm thinking about taking action!"

"Four words, far ahead!"

A mobile phone with a folding screen design is a genius idea that not only users have seen it, but also manufacturers have never seen it.

Flexible OLED screens used to be considered "counterfeit goods" that were not presentable because their color and saturation were not as good as ordinary OLED screens. However, after Chen Xing's internal development, manufacturers' thinking was suddenly opened up.

In particular, Lee Jae-yong, who was still watching the live broadcast, had already planned to return to the peninsula and start urging the OLED screen research and development department to develop an M-series quality flexible OLED screen within three months for the new folding screen flagship.

As for Ku Ke, he has already put it out.

Apple's OLED screen is provided by Hanxing Group. If Hanxing Group had not mastered the flexible OLED screen, it would not have been able to make a foldable screen mobile phone.

While Ku Ke and Li Zaiyong were lost in thought, Lin Xiaolong seemed to have discovered a new world. He clicked on the tablet application and said, "Although there are few software applications that are compatible with the Tianxuan operating system, it now supports the entire Penguin family bucket."

The built-in Penguin Video, Penguin Music, and Penguin QQ are all explaining to users that Penguin Company has long known that Longxing Group is going to develop PC software applications. This detail is very critical.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lin Xiaolong discovered a new thing and said, "Tik Tok? What is this?"

He also saw this software application when it was in mobile phone mode, but he didn't expect it to still be there when he switched to tablet mode.

He just double-clicked the app and opened the Tik Tok short video.

next second.

A "dynamic" video of a busty beauty in a bikini dancing in front of the camera to dynamic music stunned Lin Xiaolong and made him swallow subconsciously.

The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect that there would be a lightning strike at the opening.

"Porn software?"

"This…this this this…is bigger than my head."

"What kind of software is this? It seems like the video is only a dozen seconds long and it keeps playing over and over again. How can my brother stand it?"

"I'm going to the bathroom guys."

"This beauty looks familiar. She seems to be a Malaysian female internet celebrity on YouTube. She is open-minded and it is normal for her to be a little bold and have big breasts."

"This size is normal, I feel like it's about to hit me in the mouth!"

No one expected that a small TikTok short video would be such a critical hit. After Lin Xiaolong coughed twice, he proved his innocence and said, "This is not an app I downloaded. It comes with my phone. You all have to prove my innocence."

As he spoke, he turned to the next video with curiosity. He thought this type of software was quite interesting. Not only were the videos short and informative, but the key content was also exciting.

In traditional perception, the length of a video is often more than ten minutes.

Take the videos produced by the up masters of Bilibili as an example. The length of each of their videos is controlled to more than ten minutes, and some even reach half an hour, which is equivalent to watching half a movie.

It takes so long to watch, and what is consumed is the user’s free time.

But Tik Tok short videos are different. With a length of more than ten seconds, they can directly condense the most essential part and make full use of daily fragmented time.

For example, a few minutes of squatting in the toilet.

Constipation may occur, but for most people it only takes a few minutes.

What can you do with a few minutes?
Reading novels?
See a movie?
Playing games?
Neither is the optimal solution.

Because all of these require time, at least half an hour or more, to be suitable for these pastimes.

So in the limited time of a few minutes, most people will choose to check QQ, WeChat or Weibo, and the time will pass by quickly after scrolling through the information. Douyin grabs this part of time.

As Lin Xiaolong followed the prompts and swiped the screen upwards, the next video was a landscape video, a work by He Pan, a famous Chinese photographer, and was shot at Erhai Lake in southern Yunnan.

The lake water is crystal clear and the waves are rippling. Under the sunlight, the lake surface is sparkling with golden light, as if millions of diamonds are scattered therein.

The video was shot from the passenger seat of the car and was slowed down.

When captured by the camera, you can not only see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, but also the rolling Cangshan Mountain in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting. The willow trees by the lake are swaying gently, as if telling an ancient story to every tourist.

The beautiful scenery coupled with light music completely attracted Lin Xiaolong. The video took only 15 seconds to present the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain before his eyes.

He can feel the tranquility and harmony of nature through the screen, as if he is isolated from the world and has forgotten the hustle and bustle and troubles of the world.

What's the next video?
Lin Xiaolong was very curious.

He had forgotten that he was still live streaming.

Because it was played in a loop three times, the algorithm built into Tik Tok automatically identified the user's preferences, and using the big data support provided by Chen Xing, it found videos with corresponding tags in the content library and displayed them in front of Lin Xiaolong.

As he slid upwards again, what came into view was Kanas in the territory.

(Nothing can stop it)
(Your desire for freedom)

(A wild and unrestrained career)

(Your heart is free of worries)

Xu Wei's vicissitudes of life voice in "Blue Lotus", coupled with the slowly rising drone footage, presented the sapphire-like Kanas Lake to everyone.

Shocked.

Beautiful scenery plus music.

An imperial enjoyment you have never experienced before!

Lin Xiaolong continued to scroll up, and this time Douyin pushed him a video of beautiful women.

Lin Xiaolong watched it for seven or eight seconds and switched to the next video.

Tik Tok did not continue to push scenery videos, but instead switched to other types of videos, such as handsome guys with abs, fitness guides, etc., to continue to confirm user preferences.

After watching ten short videos in a row, Lin Xiaolong's taste has been identified. He tends to love traveling and beautiful women.

For subsequent videos, scenery videos have a higher push priority, almost one in every two, not including domestic scenery, but also foreign scenery.

The audience in the live broadcast room were watching the fascinated Lin Xiaolong and sending barrage reminders.

"Brother Long, hey, Brother Long wake up, you are still live streaming!"

"What is a Tik Tok short video? How come I am so fascinated by it? The music matches the scenery. Are you going to kill me, my friend?"

"Quit! I want to quit!"

"When I sang "Blue Lotus", I am still in 318. I won't say more. Whoever falls in love with this class can join. I am going to Tibet to look for poetry and distant places!"

"What an interesting software. I'll download one and try it out."

Perhaps Lin Xiaolong never thought that while he was scrolling through short videos, half an hour had passed quietly and he was completely addicted to it.

When he put down his phone, he was surprised and said, "No, what's going on? How come it's almost five o'clock in the evening? Who accelerated my time?"

It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, tens of thousands of comments popped up quickly.

"You've been watching videos for more than half an hour, Brother Long. Are you really addicted?"

“Is this short video so magical?”

"Brother, please watch one more video, I beg you, if I don't watch the next video, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body, please, watch one more video."

Lin Xiaolong: “…”

Looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, he fell completely silent.

I was clearly reviewing a mobile phone, but an app inexplicably stole half an hour of my time. Who can I complain to?
The most important thing now is that he still wants to continue watching videos.

Just like what the audience in the live broadcast room said, he seemed to be scrolling through Douyin for a while, and now that he stopped, he felt like ants were crawling on him, and his whole body was uncomfortable, as if his soul was being taken away.

However, what Lin Xiaolong didn’t know was that his live broadcast directly brought hundreds of thousands of traffic to Douyin short videos.

……

And on the other side.

The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

ByteDance headquarters building.

Zhang Ming did not expect that with the arrival of Longxing Group’s four new flagship products, the number of registered users of his own software would increase exponentially.

“How many people have registered now?”

he asked.

The employee in charge of data control immediately pulled up the data and replied excitedly: "The number of users has officially exceeded 100 million!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Ming clenched his fist and said excitedly: "One million users, continue to spend money to move high-quality video content from YouTube, and the department responsible for connecting with bloggers should increase the efforts to recruit people and let them come to Douyin to create."

"understand!"

The employee in charge of the connection quickly responded. Since receiving Chen Xing's investment, Zhang Ming has been enriching the video content of the Douyin content library.

Because bloggers were scarce, he contacted YouTube creators, spent money directly, and obtained video authorization to fill his content library.

There are also other well-known domestic bloggers and related up-masters, whom he hired to join the platform at a high price, regardless of cost.

The current TikTok is not the TikTok platform he envisioned.

According to his and Chen Xing's original description, Douyin is a profit model in which thousands of creators spontaneously create high-quality videos and attract advertisers to invest.

In order to realize this idea, Zhang Ming also created a Star Map platform that allows advertisers to select high-quality Douyin bloggers.

But now, most of the videos are actually made by Douyin itself, and creators have not yet settled in on a large scale.

In addition to the domestic version, Douyin also has an overseas version called TikTok, which is also built into the motherboard chip of Longxing Group’s new flagship, and the video content is also processed by ByteDance’s optimization department.

While Zhang Ming was still fantasizing about his strategic blueprint, far away in the Bilibili headquarters building in Shanghai, the marketing manager Fang Sizhe keenly noticed the changes in hot searches and was the first to learn about the advent of "Tik Tok Short Video".

Since he was using the Brilliant X1, he easily found Tik Tok in the built-in app store and completed the download.

He clicked on the Douyin short video with a critical attitude.

A video.

Five videos.

Ten videos.

can not stop at all!

After ten videos, his taste was basically understood, and the videos pushed to me were all in line with his taste.

Before he knew it, it was six o'clock and time to get off work. When other colleagues passed by his office door and left with a smile on their faces, he realized that he had been browsing for almost an hour without realizing it.

"It's over!"

“Our competitor has appeared!”

Fang Sizhe made his comment.

Among the video content platforms in China, Bilibili is the leader.

The model in which creators create videos and earn revenue based on the number of views cannot be imitated by other niche platforms. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only dominant platform.

But as Fang Sizhe browsed Douyin's creation plan, he realized how ruthless his opponent's moves were. 10 views only earned one dollar, so if there were a million views, wouldn't that be dollars?
This amount of money burning is unprecedented!

Fang Sizhe did not hesitate for a moment and chose to take the elevator to find his boss Chen Rui to report the situation.

When he arrived at the elevator room and pressed the elevator floor button, an elevator came down and opened the elevator door at his floor.

"Mr. Chen?"

The elevator door opened and Fang Sizhe was a little surprised.

Chen Rui glanced at him, exchanged a few words with the foreign customer next to him, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have work matters to discuss with you..." Fang Sizhe was halfway through his words when Chen Rui interrupted him and said, "Send the work matters to my email."

While speaking, he glanced at the foreign man next to him, indicating that he wanted to accompany the client and to contact him by email if there was anything.

Fang Sizhe was able to get to this position, so he was certainly not a fool, and quickly responded: "Then I'll send it to your email later."

"Go."

Chen Rui waved his hand.

After the elevator door closed again, Fang Sizhe returned to his workstation.

He didn't have to work overtime, but he was the one who brought up Bilibili and had invested his emotions in it, so he chose to work overtime on his own initiative to finish this "crisis warning" email.

The emergence of Douyin short videos will definitely have an impact on Bilibili. The profit methods of the creators of the two are the same, and he found that the content of the former is more concentrated and more essential.

To be honest, he can’t stand the current content on Bilibili.

Either it's the "Don't Laugh Challenge" or anime complaints. There are very few high-quality short videos about scenery, beauties, and handsome guys. They are mainly about recording life.

……

At nightfall.

"Ah~"

Fang Sizhe stretched.

After two hours of creation, he had listed the future development of TikTok and the possible threats it might pose to his company, and then clicked send on the email.

Chen Rui, who was still entertaining foreign clients and had a few drinks, had already forgotten him.

"Ding--"

The phone on the table rang. Chen Rui picked up the phone and saw that it was an email from Fang Sizhe. He didn't take it too seriously and planned to deal with it when he got home.

Little did he know that this action of his would directly lead to Bilibili falling into a passive position in the future and being pinned to the ground by its opponents.

And at the same time.

Berlin, Germany on the other side.

As daylight arrived, users who had placed orders for Longxing Group's four flagship products on the Discount global shopping platform also received calls one after another, claiming that their packages had been delivered.

As a multinational group, Chen Xing has established assembly centers for Longxing’s new flagship in Africa, Europe and America.

This will not only boost local employment, win the favor of senior officials of relevant countries, and enjoy relevant tax policies, but also adjust assembly capacity in real time according to sales.

If the machine is assembled in Longguo and then shipped to other countries, the transportation cost will be too high and the tariff on the whole machine will be higher.

Therefore, Chen Xing decided to set up assembly centers in Africa, America, Oceania, and Europe, and then have the assembly centers carry out unified assembly and shipment. As for Asia, Longguo is the best assembly center.

Many Germans never expected that their mobile phones would be delivered less than a day after they placed the order?
Unbelievable!

Simply incredible!

You know, even in the United States, a hegemonic power, its express delivery companies cannot deliver the goods to users within one day. It takes at least three days.

It's not just express delivery, the same is true for take-out. You won't be able to eat it for an hour.

However, what these German users don’t know is that Chen Xing’s cooperation with Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi is not simply to find a partner, but to utilize their e-commerce resources.

Before the launch of the discount global shopping platform, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build an express delivery industry chain around the world.

Nowadays, deliverymen in Germany are basically people with high salaries of tens of thousands of US dollars.

Of course.

This is not Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi throwing money around.

Instead, they calculated it based on Germany's income situation and labor concepts.

What is the concept of labor?

to be honest.

It’s still fucking money!

It's like a daily salary of 100 yuan. You can't wait to arrive and leave on time, and you don't want to contribute even a second of your own time to your boss.

But what about 500 yuan?

Are you still going to come and go at a faster pace?

If all else fails, just give me 1000 yuan. Can you treat the company as your home?

Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi used their monetary power to get some of the cash-strapped German people to work, which was also the initial investment cost of the discount global shopping platform.

When Wang Dong set up a logistics company on his platform, countless colleagues laughed at Liu Dongzi for being stupid. He didn't choose an existing express delivery company, but insisted on investing hundreds of billions of dollars on his own. He really had too much money and didn't know where to spend it.

But the result?

It is precisely because of this logistics company that the Wang Dong platform was established.

Because Liu Dongzi and Jack Ma have experience, Chen Xing will not interfere too much in the operation of the discount global shopping platform. He only needs to look at the revenue and final results.

As more and more German users received the Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1, and Chuangcan X2 flagship phones, they also began to conduct spontaneous reviews.

Like Lin Xiaolong, they all evaluated the points promoted by Chen Xing.

Standby battery life, stacked chips, shooting pixels, flexible OLED screen, under the extremely rigorous evaluation of German users, the entry "Longxing Group's flagship mobile phone actual test" also appeared on the hot search list of Twitter in the German region.

Originally, the operators of the Bailey Group and the Leading Group wanted to reduce the popularity, but after seeing the number of views from spontaneous searches, they gave up.

With over a million views, it is already well-known in a country with a population of 80 million. If they suppress the trending search, they will most likely be discovered and are controlling the public's right to know.

Because of S1 and S2, and the original black business, people in Western countries value freedom as much as life.

Even if the Bailey Group and the Leading Group want to take over the Longxing Group, they can only do it secretly and dare not do it openly.

As more and more German people saw the growing popularity of Longxing Group's mobile phones, they eventually turned their time to the international version of TikTok.

Since TikTok is an international version, it allows network access from any country.

Coupled with Zhang Ming's financial ability, the explosive content of the international version is far beyond the reach of the domestic version. Compared with the former, it is not an exaggeration to say that the domestic version is a children's channel.

In just three days, TikTok's German users exceeded five million.

It's not just Germany. The wave of short videos has begun to spread across the globe. Many YouTube creators and anchors are posting content on it, and the number of users is growing exponentially.

In North America, somewhere in a gap in the U.S. border wall, two groups are trading.

"Have you brought anything?"

"Bring it."

"How many?"

"100 dollars."

"One million dollars, are you crazy?"

"It's up to you whether you want it or not. This is hard currency now, obtained from Germany and France."

"Okay, let's check the goods first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired man gave him a look, and the man behind him immediately threw several oversized retro backpacks to the ground.

The man inspecting the goods half-knelt and swiftly opened the zipper. Inside was not powdery or crystalline substances, but plastic-sealed mobile phone boxes with "Cuican X2" written on them.

"Tear--"

The inspecting man took out a knife, cut open the box of a mobile phone, took out the phone inside, turned it on and tried it out.

Then, he checked the mobile phones in several other backpacks one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signaled for the boxes to be brought up.

The curly-haired white man opened the box, revealing stacks of US dollar bills.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Two groups of people drove away.

The party who received the goods was in a good mood. The red-haired woman sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck was a little puzzled and asked: "Boss, why do you have so many mobile phones? Is this thing more valuable than powder?"

The man who was driving the car looked ahead and responded with a smile: "There is an old saying in Longguo that things are valuable because they are rare. Do you know how much a mobile phone like this has been sold for by the rich and powerful?"

He picked up the disassembled Brilliant X2, drove it one-handed and asked questions.

"How many?"

The red-haired woman was puzzled.

"5000 dollars." The man in the driver's seat did not hide anything and continued, "2000 dollars was smuggled in from Mexico, and now it's 5000 dollars. What's the point of getting flour?"

"What's the most important thing?" He paused for half a second, showing his big white teeth and said, "It's okay even if this thing is discovered. The main thing is safety."

Due to restrictions imposed by the United States, Longxing Group's products cannot be exported to the United States, so the four flagship models naturally did not enter the U.S. market.

However, as the reputation of the Brilliant X2 exploded around the world, more and more wealthy Americans needed it to show their identity and gain a sense of superiority, which led to the smuggling scene.

There are also people who are specifically responsible for cracking the software so that mobile phones can be used normally in the United States, forming a complete underground industrial chain.
