Chapter 555: Apple and Samsung are facing a formidable enemy!
"Yes, Xingyi Technology does have the capital and strength to dominate."

Other senior executives also spoke up, expressing their deepest emotion:

"If we had this strength, I would be even more domineering than Xingyi Technology. I would sell it directly for 499 and kill all our competitors!"

"But unfortunately, we don't have the strength!"

The entire conference room fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

When the borderless AI speaker came out, it hit the weakest part and killed the Xiaodu speaker.

"Then are we still making our Xiaodu speakers?" Baidu Smart Home President Lu Yingxuan couldn't help but ask.

Li Yan sighed, "What the hell, it won't sell at 549, and it may not sell well at 499. Just give up. Just think of the billions as a waste!"

"This... is good!" Lu Yingxuan responded, his face looking extremely gloomy.

The smart home project went bankrupt and all his subordinates were laid off.

Now it was his turn.

Originally, Xiaodu Speaker was still around, so he still had a chance to try again. What if Xiaodu Speaker became popular?

But now, Xiaodu Speaker is also out of fashion.

“It’s not that I’m not capable, nor is it that the Baidu Smart Home team is not capable. It’s that we got on the wrong boat!”

A sigh of helplessness.

If they were in Xingyi Technology, why would they have completed the project but gone bankrupt before even launching it?

Qu Xin was lost in thought: "We have invested more than 10 billion in the Smart Home project, and we have some output. How about selling the technology and patents together? That will at least make some money back."

Li Yan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, but who should I sell it to? Who is stupid enough to buy this thing?"

"That's right. We spent over a billion to develop this product, so we should sell it for hundreds of millions at least. Only Alibaba and Tencent can take it all at once."

Qu Xin analyzed: "But it is unlikely for Alibaba. They have their own smart home project and are already working on it. They will not waste money. As for Tencent, they have no plans in this regard. We can contact them."

Li Yan nodded and looked at the person in charge of the Zhi family: "Old Lu, this is the last chance. I also want my brothers to have a good way out!"

The corner of Lu Yingxuan's mouth twitched: "..."

'A good way out? What good way out can there be by following Baidu?'

How could you not understand what Li Yan meant? He wanted to package and sell Baidu Zhijia to Tencent?
But if this is the case, it is also a way out.

It is always better to follow Tencent than Baidu.

Following Tencent is better than being laid off and losing your job.

Lu Yingxuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Chairman, I understand. I'll go and make the contact."

"Well, I wish you good luck." Li Yan said with a smile, but he also understood that Tencent might not agree.

Qu Xin looked at Lu Yingxuan's gloomy expression and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The company that was laid off today is a subsidiary of Baidu Zhijia. Will the next company to be laid off be the project he is responsible for?
The one who was kicked out of the house and forced to find a way out today was Lu Yingxuan. Will the one who is kicked out of the house and forced to find a way out next time be him, Qu Xin?
This is entirely possible!
Given Baidu's rapidly regressing and shrinking development model, this is very possible.

Although BAT does everything and invests in everything, launching dozens of projects a year, 95% of them ultimately fail.

But Tencent and Alibaba always have a few successful ones, and their basic base is stable.

Although Tencent's social networking has been impacted by Changchat, QQ is still powerful and Tencent games are also very powerful.

Alibaba’s e-commerce business was also affected, but Taobao is still number one, and Alipay has fallen to second place but is also doing very well.

But what about Baidu?

There are many investment projects, but almost none of them are successful.

Baidu Maps suffered a disastrous defeat, and Baidu Search is about to be surpassed by Sogou Search.

Relying on the huge number of users of Xingyi Technology, Sogou Search has risen rapidly and is changing with each passing day.

On the PC side, Baidu is still first and Sogou is second.

But on the mobile side, Sogou has become number one and Baidu is number two.

There is no way, the shipment volume of Xingyi mobile phones, Radiant mobile phones and Xingyi tablets is too large.

All of them have built-in Sogou search, which Baidu cannot compete with.

In addition, Sogou input method is very easy to use, and you can start Sogou search directly when you input.

This is more convenient than Baidu in many scenarios.

Especially when writing, when you reach a certain point, you need to look up information.

To use Baidu, you have to close Word first, open the browser, open Baidu, enter keywords, and search.

When using Sogou, you can just click on the keywords in Word and instantly jump to Sogou search.

Baidu Browser hasn't even been opened yet, but Sogou has already released the results...

In addition, with the support of Xingyi Technology, Sogou's database and AI algorithms have made great progress, and are only stronger than Baidu Search.

This has shaken Baidu's fundamental foundation!

"Maybe I have to consider changing jobs. I wonder if Mr. Wang wants me..." Qu Xin sighed in his heart, and it was hard not to have some ideas.

The press conference was over, and Wang Yi turned to leave, but halfway through, he turned back again:
"I just received a notification from the backstage. At this moment, our press conference has just ended. The online sales of Xphone 3 have exceeded 100 million units. The online sales of Xphone 3 Plus have exceeded 200 million units!"

"As for offline sales, it is really hard to estimate, but I think it should be very high, after all, the stores are selling very well."

As he finished speaking, pictures appeared on the large screen at the back, which were live broadcasts from flagship stores and specialty stores across the country.

There were long queues in all the stores, many of which extended to the entrances of the Apple and Samsung flagship stores next door.

This is the case in the imperial capital, the magic capital, the Guangzhou city, and the Shenzhen city.

The same is true for cities like Jeju, Doseong, etc.

The scenes kept changing, and even the stores in the county town had long queues.

Finally, the scene changed again. Ele.me riders, carrying backpacks, walked out of the store and started delivering...

All are xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus!

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. Although we have sufficient stock this time, with over 10 million in stock, there is still some uncertainty due to the overly hot market."

"After all, as the most secure mobile phone in the world, without backdoors and not afraid of being monitored, it is still possible that even tens of millions of stocks are not enough."

"If you want to buy, please hurry up. If you have any needs or suggestions, you can also leave a message on our Xingyi forum. Our R&D staff will check them one by one and try their best to solve them."

"For example, some users reported that Xingyi phones all have X-ports and cannot be connected to computers to transfer data. Our Changchat Division immediately launched the file transfer function. The XOS Division also immediately developed the Xingyi Mobile Center for computers, which can be connected and transmitted wirelessly via WiFi and Bluetooth. The Hardware Division also quickly launched a converter from X-port to USB port to easily connect to all computers."

"In addition, many computers will be upgraded to X-ports with faster transmission next year."

“Thank you again for your support!”

Wang Yi left the stage and the press conference ended successfully.

The shock of the people at the scene and netizens lasted for a long time:
"Holy crap, the press conference just ended and they sold 300 million units? And that's just online?"

"You are crazy, you are all crazy. Did all your money come from the wind?"

"Don't buy any of them, the Xphone 3 is poisonous. Let me buy one first to test the waters for you!"

"The one upstairs, your abacus beads are flying on my face!"

"Who wouldn't like a brand that's both persuasive and powerful?"

"Without the Prism Gate, even if we have millions of stocks, it will definitely be enough. With the Prism Gate, even if we have millions of stocks, it won't be enough."

"Besides, my cousin who is studying abroad lined up in the middle of the night, just to buy a few more and bring them to school."

"We are close to the border and there are many backpackers. They used to carry Xphone 2Pro, but now they carry Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus. It's a good way to make money!"

"Foreigners are rushing to buy it, so we have to act quickly."

Especially the scenes of people queuing in various stores are so shocking!

In the past, many brands hired people to queue up every time they released a mobile phone.

It’s because this visual impact is so effective!

Seeing the long queue of hundreds of people in front of the Xingyi flagship store, which seemed endless, and then looking at the deserted Apple flagship store and Samsung flagship store next door...

Needless to say, everyone who passes by knows that the Xingyi mobile phone is good, and they all think that Apple and Samsung are no longer good!

This effect is much more effective than advertising.

Users will only believe what they see with their own eyes, not what is shown in advertisements.

It is conceivable that even Apple fans and Samsung fans will change their stance and choose to queue up to buy the Xingyi mobile phone.

More importantly, many Tik Tok anchors think that they have traffic, so they will record videos and post them on Tik Tok, and even come to the store to live broadcast the scene of waiting in line.

With this support, the popularity of Xingyi mobile phones is getting higher and higher, and sales are getting better and better!

As expected, both xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are selling like hot cakes!

Especially after the Prism scandal, the Xingyi phone became the first choice for most people.

The sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are even more popular than the previous xphone 2 pro, breaking the sales record of xphone 2 pro!
After all, the processor of xphone 2 pro has not been upgraded, and it is the same as xphone 2, both are Kunpeng 702.

However, the processors of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus have been fully upgraded to Kunpeng 902, which is a significant upgrade.

Many old users of Xingyi mobile phones choose to change their phones in this generation!
Especially since 4G has been developed for many years abroad, there is a high probability that 4G will be promoted in China by the end of next year, and more users will change their phones.

Seeing sales records being broken one after another, Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Fortunately, we have sufficient production capacity and can produce more than 1600 million units a month, otherwise we really can't withstand this wave of hot sales."

Zhu Changlin agreed: "Yes, this time the monthly sales of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus will hopefully exceed 2000 million units!"

Wang Yi waved his hand.

Zhu Changlin frowned: "Chairman, do you mean it can't be sold for 2000 million? Not really, at this price, it's definitely no problem."

Wang Yi smiled: "It's not that we can't sell 2500 million units, but 2700 million is too little. The two models combined can sell million, or even million units!"

"So many!" Zhu Changlin was shocked.

Wang Yi was very calm: "In China, Xphone 3 sold 800 million units, Xphone 3 Plus sold 1100 million units, so it's not a big problem. Overseas, Xphone 3 sold 300 million units, Xphone 3 Plus sold 500 million units, which is about the same."

This is the advantage of having two models. It increases the selectivity, gives users more choices, and leads to more sales.

Zhu Changlin nodded: "Yes, this time we have also made efforts overseas. We have sold 500 million parallel-imported units, and there is no problem selling another 300 million units. The domestic situation is almost the same. So, there is really hope to break 2700 million units?" "Of course, keep an eye on the factory production and don't let it down at the critical moment. With the Prism Gate incident, our Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus should set a record! If we can't reach 2500 million monthly sales, we will be sorry to Brother Deng!"

"Don't worry, Chairman. I have to lead the team to continue developing the Xingyi Mobile Phone X1. I will arrange for the senior management of the production department to personally go to the three major factories to oversee it!"

"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

In September, the combined monthly sales of the two smartphones reached 2700 million units, and in October, they sold another 2000 million units. After November, sales stabilized, reaching around 1600 million units per month...

This is the most ideal situation, which just matches the total production capacity of Xingyi Mobile's own factory.

There will be no excess inventory and no insufficient production capacity.

And it's not difficult.

It's easier to sell 3 million xphone 3 and xphone 2000 plus together than 2 million xphone 1500 pro.

It is for this reason that Apple subsequently made four models of the same generation: iPhone 18, iPhone 18 plus, iPhone 18 pro, and iPhone 18 pro max.

The more points you get, the more models there are, the more options consumers have, and the higher the sales!
Moreover, the R&D cost is low, and all four models are modified from one model...

Wang Yi changed the subject and said, "Next, if there are overseas merchants purchasing goods, we will arrange for them. After all, they will be shipped after full payment. We are not afraid of them buying a lot, but we are afraid of them not buying at all!"

"Okay, Chairman." Zhu Changlin responded.

This is a good opportunity.

There are also parallel import sales of previous generations of mobile phones, but the sales are not particularly large.

But this time, the sales of parallel imports increased several times!
The reason is simple: Prism Gate!
If there were no Prism Gate, most foreigners would use Apple, Samsung, Nokia, and LG, and only a few would pay extra to buy Xingyi phones.

Now that the Prism scandal has broken out, foreigners have begun to frantically snap up Xingyi phones, and they will buy them even if the price doubles.

Foreigners have always been concerned about privacy and security protection.

It is precisely for this reason that some foreign users collectively sued Apple for violating privacy and won the lawsuit.

Now that the Prism Gate has fully erupted, it has only further catalyzed their use of Xingyi phones.

What’s more interesting is that in addition to the XOS system, the system center of the Xingyi mobile phone also has a native Android system.

Originally, when foreigners bought Xingyi phones, they would immediately switch to the native Android system.

But since the Prism Gate broke out, Wang Yi found that foreign users did not switch to the Android system and continued to use the XOS system.

There were also users who had previously switched to the Android system, who switched to the XOS system after the Prism Gate broke out.

There is no way, Android has a backdoor and can be monitored at any time.

As for the XOS system, there is no Facebook, no Twitter, no YouTube, no Google...

It’s not a big problem. These software are all monitored, and foreigners are beginning to resist it and are looking for alternatives to the XOS system.

For example, in social networking, friends and family all turn to chatting.

YouTube has a backdoor, so try watching TikTok instead.

If Google Chrome is being monitored, use Sogou Browser for XOS.

Even the games have started to be played from the XOS game store.

Unless they are truly irreplaceable, continue to use your old Android phone, old iPhone, or old Nokia.

Any XOS system that can be replaced will be replaced with a brand new Xingyi mobile phone.

Of course, high-privacy services such as making phone calls and sending text messages are also available on Xingyi phones.

This change has significantly increased the number of XOS system users overseas.

This was something Wang Yi could never have imagined.

Originally, Wang Yi was still considering how to get overseas application vendors to adapt to the XOS system so that it could replace the Android system overseas.

They are even considering launching an Android emulator that allows Android software to be used on the XOS system.

But now, once the Prism Gate broke out, the Android system itself collapsed!

The existence of backdoors in Android forces foreign users to choose the pure-blooded XOS system.

There is no need to push Android emulators, just use the pure XOS system.

Now that foreign users support the XOS system and use the Xingyi phone as their primary phone, it will force those foreign application vendors to actively adapt to the XOS system!

There is no other way. If you don’t want to be abandoned by foreign users, you have to adapt to the XOS system!

It can be said that the roles have been reversed now.

It's not that Wang Yi begged foreign application and game developers to adapt to the XOS system, but that foreign application and game developers, in turn, took the initiative to adapt to the XOS system!

There is no doubt about this.

Especially as the parallel-imported xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are widely distributed and sold overseas, the number of overseas users increases, and more and more application vendors are adapting the phones.

In the past, the sales of xphone 2 and xphone 2pro in overseas parallel imports were actually not very high, only a fraction of those in China.

The reason is simple. Both xphone 2 and xphone 2pro are 3G phones and do not support 4G networks in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

This forces many users to give up.

But xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus have been fully upgraded to support 4G, so there are no shortcomings and no worries.

Sales will also be much higher than xphone 2 and xphone 2pro.

Add to that the impact of the Prism Gate, and it could even be several times that of xphone 2 and xphone 2pro!
This is also the reason why Wang Yi decided to sell five million parallel imports of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus right after they were launched!

The goal is to expand to the world as soon as possible and internationalize in a roundabout way.

Not only can it increase its own sales, but it can also defeat Apple and grab part of the iPhone market.

The simplest way is to wait until the iPhone 10S is released on the 5th and gradually goes on sale on the 20th. In more than 20 days, the xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus will have already been introduced to the global market by parallel importers, right?

Even sold a lot!
The fight is just a time difference!

It takes 20 days for the normal sea shipment and customs clearance to arrive at Lao Mi.

Not to mention smuggling... that would be even faster...

As for South Korea, Japan, and the European Union, it will only be faster.

This is also another surprise Wang Yi gave to Apple!
Apple is not aware of this.

Just after watching the launch of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus, the whole conference room became depressing.

"Powerful, too powerful!" Cook sighed repeatedly:
"This time, the new Xingyi flagship has two models released at once. The 28nm Kunpeng 902 is extremely powerful, 4G full network support, and 20W ultra-fast charging! They are all ridiculously powerful, without any shortcomings."

The vice president nodded and said, "Yes, it's too powerful. In comparison, our iPhone 5s has a less powerful processor and only charges at 5 watts, which is far less than their 20 watts. The screen is still 4.0 inches, which is indeed a bit small. The battery is also small. Although the iOS 7 system has also been upgraded to a 64-bit system, most of the applications are 32-bit, which is also not as good as the other party. The difference is too big."

"Yes. Fortunately, the Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus are only available in Xia Country. If they were available worldwide, our iPhone 5s would have no chance of success!"

"Yes, this is the only good news. But I always feel that this good time is coming to an end."

"I think so too. The Xingyi mobile phone is like an oriental dragon that can dominate the world. It is now only hovering in Xia Country, but it will soon dominate the world!"

"It will be very soon indeed. I feel like it may be next year."

"I think so."

"Next year...if Xingyi Technology really goes global, we will be in danger!"

Everyone looked gloomy, and became more and more melancholy as they talked.

iPhone sales are still good now, which is all maintained by the international market and because Xingyi phones are not internationalized.

But next year, if the Xingyi mobile phone goes international, the global sales of the iPhone will collapse.

"Especially, Wang Yi specifically mentioned that our 4-inch small screen is suitable for feature phones, and that we will definitely launch 4.7-inch or even 5.5-inch large-screen phones next year. This directly denied the future of small-screen phones and cast a cold shadow on our iPhone 5s sales."

"This is simply an open conspiracy!"

"Yes, it's a conspiracy that we have to admit. We have no choice but to reveal it!"

Cook sighed and said: "Next year, iPhone 6 will be like Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 plus. There will be two models, a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 plus!"

"Xiao Ping, there is really no future for you."

Others also spoke up: "Don't talk about users, I feel tired when I use it myself. Whether it's playing games or watching videos, 4.0 inches is too small!"

"Yes, I think so too."

"To be honest, I only use iPhone 5S to make phone calls. When I watch videos and play games, I use Xphone 2Pro..."

"Ahem, me too. Although we are rivals, I have to admit that the Xphone 2 Pro is better than us in many aspects."

"Charging is faster, the sound quality is better, the 64-bit system is more powerful, the large-screen display effect is much better, and the battery life is longer..."

"I suggest that our next generation should follow the path of Xingyi Mobile Phones."

"That's right, follow the path of Xingyi Mobile and leave Xingyi Mobile with nowhere to go!"

"Although this is a bit cheap, the sales will definitely be good. Xingyi mobile phone understands the user's mind and has mastered the sales code!"

Listening to everyone's words, Cook took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, let's do as you said, follow Xingyi Mobile's path and leave Xingyi Mobile with no way to go."

“Next year’s iPhone 6 will have a full-scale upgrade with a larger screen!”

"At the same time, notify all major application vendors to speed up the development and adaptation of 64-bit applications and upgrade 64-bit applications as soon as possible, so as to give full play to the advantages of 64-bit like the XOS system!"

"Yes!"

Cook was filled with emotion: "Fortunately, Xingyi Mobile Phone did not go global this year. We still have time and opportunities. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble..."

However, what Cook didn't know was that just when he was feeling lucky, five million Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus had already been scattered around the world and flooded into the European and American markets through various means!
The main thing is a surprise!
On September 9, not only did the sales of xphone 2 and xphone 3 plus continue to soar in China, but a large number of parallel imports also appeared in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Although the price has doubled, it is still being snapped up.

On September 9, a large number of parallel-imported xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus appeared in Japan and South Korea, with prices equivalent to more than RMB 3 or even RMB , and they were still snapped up.

Then, parallel imports of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus also appeared in Russia, India, the European Union, and the Middle East.

The prices have doubled, but they are still selling well.

Looking at this scene, Samsung felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.
