Chapter 557 The miracle created by Prism Gate!

Without the Prism Gate, it would be difficult for a single parallel imported product to sell three million units per month.

After the Prism scandal, the parallel import sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus have doubled!
The total sales volume of parallel import products in September reached eight million, setting a new record.

The problem is that it’s only the 10th, and there are still 20 days in this month!
Another 200 million parallel import orders won’t be a big problem.

The total parallel import sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus in September is expected to reach tens of millions units!

How could Wang Yi refuse?

More importantly, as the sales of parallel imports increase, the number of overseas users of Xingyi mobile phones will increase, which will force overseas application vendors to actively adapt to the XOS system!

This is of great significance to the globalization and future development of the XOS system!
I can only say thank you to Brother Deng for exposing the Prism Gate!
Thanks to Apple, the iPhone 5s is still standing still!

If it weren't for the double buff, it would be impossible for xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus to sell so many parallel imports. Don't even think about it.

Wang Yi spoke decisively: "Changlin, as long as the full payment is made, we will give the overseas parallel importers as much goods as they want. We will send them to the domestic warehouse they specify, and the rest is their business."

"Okay, Chairman. But if that's the case, the parallel import orders for Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus combined in September may exceed 2000 million. With the Prism Gate incident, the domestic sales may also exceed million. So, the total order volume for September will exceed million."

Zhu Changlin was a little worried: "Will there be any problems with our production capacity?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's not a big problem. We have 1600 million units in stock, and we can produce more than 1600 million units in September, which adds up to 3200 million units, which is enough."

"At most, there will be a temporary shortage of inventory, which is not a big problem. When the time comes, large parallel import orders from abroad will be paid in full, and those with long distances will be shipped first. As for domestic products, we will sell them as they are produced, and adjust the inventory dynamically. We must not let some areas run out of stock or have large inventories in other areas. This would be stupid. As long as the cycle is in place, there will be no problem."

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin responded, "We have a unified inventory management system that can adjust it."

Wang Yi nodded: "3200 million units are enough, with current stock and new production. If that's not enough, it's okay. We can just ask BYD to produce million units."

"Yes, we also have a royal agent."

“But don’t blindly add BYD orders unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Wang Yi said meaningfully.

After all, once the OEM is started, the production line cannot be stopped at will. Five million units in September, five million units in October, five million units in November, and five million units in December...

In addition to its own production capacity of 1600 million units, there will be 2100 million units in stock every month in the future.

Once the hot selling period is over, it will be impossible to sell so many.

If there is an extra five million in inventory every month, it will be a waste. Wang Yi is having a headache!

"Okay, Chairman, I know what's going on." Zhu Changlin responded. He was not the type who liked to show off.

I don’t think that I can sell 30 million units every month just because of the horrific sales in September…

On the contrary, it would be good if the sales volume could reach over 20 million in October.

As for after November, it would be good if we can maintain 1600 million units.

In December, it is likely to fall below 1500 million units unless overseas parallel imports continue to make efforts.

In the mobile phone industry, there is no escape from the three-month hot-selling rule.

But even so, the sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus reached several years' sales of other mobile phones in just three months, which is considered a great success.

"It seems that this time, Cook is also anxious and has even moved the sales date of iPhone 5s forward to the 15th," Wang Yi said with a smile.

"That's right. As usual, Apple starts selling its products after the 20th. This time, they are really scared by our parallel imports."

"It's good. There are a lot of parallel imports for sale, and it won't attract too much attention. It won't be hammered, so it's safe."

Wang Yi said meaningfully, and quickly made a decision: "But the internationalization must also be accelerated. We must obtain the patents of giants such as Ericsson as soon as possible, and start internationalization next year."

"When it comes to internationalization, start with Europe, Asia and other places. As for the United States... forget it, just give up."

Once it is fully launched on Xiaomi, it will definitely be criticized and may even be banned globally.

It would be better to give up the old rice market than to do this.

"Then we won't sell anything at Lao Mi's place?" Zhu Changlin was a little surprised.

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "We'll start selling in Mexico and Maple Leaf Country, especially near the border with the United States, and open more flagship stores."

"Good idea. This way, American users can buy in the Land of Maple Leaf and Mexico."

Wang Yi nodded. "Not only that, once we start selling in Mexico and Maple Leaf Country, we can directly ship a large number of Xingyi phones to Lao Mi's doorstep. At that time, Lao Mi's parallel importers will be able to purchase the products directly from Mexico and Maple Leaf Country through their own channels and sell them to Lao Mi, which will be much easier."

"I see. This way, it won't delay our sales in the United States and can also reduce the risk of being hammered. It's the best of both worlds." Zhu Changlin was in a good mood.

Now the sea transportation is too slow to smuggle it from China to the United States.

For air transport, the cost is high if the quantity is small, and the risk and difficulty are high if the quantity is large.

After all, the entire machine cannot be made up of mobile phones. On the contrary, it is necessary to transport some other things, mix them up, and prepare for inspections, and it is indispensable to have some preparations up and down.

At the beginning, the price of parallel imports is very high, but you can still deal with it. Later on, you have to use sea transportation.

But if it is sold in the Maple Leaf Country and Mexico, it would be easy to directly airfreight large quantities to the Maple Leaf Country and Mexico through formal channels.

Sure enough, after the release of iPhone 5s, both dealers and foreign users gave up.

Foreign users in particular have made up their minds to buy xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus.

Not only middle- and high-income groups buy it, but low-income people also buy it.

As for these people not having enough savings to buy...

This is not a problem either.

Overseas users never pay in cash, mostly by credit card, and always spend in advance.

Even if it is a little more expensive, I can afford it.

As a result, the parallel import sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are becoming more and more popular.

Domestic sales have been rising.

On September 9, iPhone 15S went on sale worldwide, but it did not cause much stir.

Long lines at stores, hundreds of people lining up to buy... this doesn't exist.

Even the number of customers in the Apple store is not as many as in the Xingyi flagship store next door.

"The first sale of our iPhone 5s was not as high as the daily sales of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus after half a month of sales?"

Cook was shocked and angry, sweating profusely, but he could do nothing.

The bleak future of iPhone 5s seems to be clearly visible.

The next generation iPhone 6 will be greatly modified and will be based on the xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus!
The next day, Wang Yi came to the company.

Jian Ziyan walked in: "Chairman, the sales report for half a month is out, please take a look."

When Wang Yi opened it, his expression became very interesting.

Xphone 3, domestic sales volume reached 500 million units in half a month, and overseas sales volume reached 300 million units.

xphone 3 plus, domestic sales of 900 million units, overseas sales of 500 million units.

In 15 days, 3 million xphone 800s were sold.

Xphone 3 plus sold 1400 million units.

Total sales volume: 2200 million units!

Such results far exceeded Wang Yi's initial expectations.

According to his estimate, global monthly sales of 2700 million units in September would be considered very good.

I didn’t expect that 2200 million units were sold in just half a month!

In the remaining half month, even if sales are halved, we can still sell another 1000 million units.

The total sales volume in September can reach about 9 million units.

There is no other reason. The current total production capacity + inventory is limited. There is no more.

This is already a miracle.

Miracles created under the Prism!

"Very good, keep this account in mind. If that day comes, Brother Deng will definitely get the endorsement fee!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

This is not a joke. If the relationship really falls out, let Brother Deng be the spokesperson!

During this period, Wang Yi was also paying attention to the Prism Gate incident.

The storm has cooled down a bit compared to last month, but the intensity is still high.

At present, Brother Deng has arrived with the Russians and started a happy life.

In this regard, Wang Yi expressed his sincere blessings.

With sales of 2200 million in half a month, at least million units were contributed by Brother Deng!

The remaining 1200 million units are purely due to the fact that xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are outstanding enough and unique in the world.

The performance of Kunpeng 902 SOC has been recognized by the majority of users.

Whether it is the Tik Tok blogger or the Tieba netizens, no one even complained.

It has powerful performance, low power consumption, and it allows you to play games smoothly without generating much heat.

Add to that the 3000 and 3500 mAh battery capacities and 20W rapid charging, and there's nothing wrong with it.

This not only made xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus even more popular, but also made all the major games on the Xingyi game platform become extremely popular.

The five old games "Happy Match 3", "Subway Surfers", "Protect the Grapefruit", "Running Man" and "Time and Space Hunter" are still among the top games with amazing revenue.

"Boom Beach" also became a hit and achieved new glory.

In August, the first month's revenue of "Boom Beach" exceeded 8 million yuan, and the revenue in the first half of September exceeded 4 million yuan.

According to this momentum, the turnover in September is expected to exceed 6 million!
In this day and age, for a mobile game, it can be said to have taken off on the spot!
Then, Wang Yi looked at other data.

In just half a month, the sales of xbuds 2 exceeded 500 million units, and the sales of xbuds2 pro also exceeded 300 million units.

Even the first generation of xbuds, after the price reduction, sold 1 million units.

All three models of Bluetooth headsets topped the best-selling lists of major e-commerce platforms.

Especially in overseas markets, Xingyi mobile phones have not been internationalized, but accessories such as Bluetooth headsets have been internationalized and are selling very well.

Compared with traditional Bluetooth headsets, xbuds with charging case have incomparable advantages.

The sales of Xingyi Power Bank 3 and 3 Pro are also very good. Together, more than million units were sold worldwide in just half a month.

I can only say that the 20-watt fast-charging power bank is still very tempting.

Especially for users of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus, it is standard.

The second generation dual-core Xingyi router sold 200 million units in half a month, which is quite good.

However, the borderless AI speaker has once again set the market on fire. With an ultra-low price of 549, it has penetrated the industry and many users have bought it.

Especially for users who bought Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi TVs, and Xingyi tablets, the free annual music membership, if you don’t have the entire AI speaker, it would be a waste of membership!
Based on this mentality, many users want to buy an AI speaker.

Previously, the Xiao Ai speaker, which cost more than a thousand yuan, was too expensive. The Xiao Ai speaker lite, which cost 799 yuan, attracted many users. Now, with its ultra-low price of 549 yuan, it continues to impress people.

In just half a month, more than 500 million units were sold worldwide, of which more than 300 million were sold in overseas markets.

The price of the borderless speaker overseas is US$149, which is nearly RMB 1000, but for developed countries, it is only RMB 150.

150 yuan is not enough to buy a high-end toy at Omi, but you can buy an AI speaker!

This is such a pleasant surprise.

Smart, high-end, powerful and cheap!
These four factors combined together have a direct bomb effect.

As a result, borderless AI speakers became popular all over the world.

Wang Yi was very happy about this.

However, Baidu Chairman Li Yan is envious and jealous:

"The Boundless AI Speaker has sold 5 million units worldwide in half a month. Wouldn't that mean it can sell 60 million units a year? If we add other models, the annual sales will exceed 100 million units!"

"Making money, really making money."

Qu Xin nodded: "For the borderless AI speakers, we make 250 yuan per unit in China and 500 yuan per unit overseas. Overseas sales are even higher, and the average profit is 400 yuan. With 240 million units sold a year, that means a profit of billion yuan!"

"Adding Xiao Ai AI Speaker Lite, Xiao Ai Speaker, and Xiao Ai Speaker Pro, they can also sell 500 to million units, with higher profits for each model. So, Xingyi Technology can make billion a year just from AI speakers?"

"That's more than enough!" Li Yan was envious and jealous: "Damn, it's too profitable. Now Xingyi Technology has basically monopolized the global AI speakers!"

"Yes, there is only Xingyi Technology in the world, and there is no competitor. They deserve to make a lot of money."

Baidu Smart Home President Lu Yingxuan clenched his fists and couldn't help but say, "Since this market is so profitable, why don't we sell our Xiaodu speakers as a whole? Can't we make them ourselves?"

"This..." Li Yan fell into deep thought, feeling a little conflicted.

I feel neither happy nor sad.

Seeing Xingyi Technology taking the lead, Li Yan also wanted to keep his own fishing net.

If we launch Xiaodu speakers, even if they don't sell well in China, we can still make a lot of money by focusing on overseas markets, right?
But Qu Xin sighed and put an end to Li Yan's unrealistic idea:

"What Xingyi Technology can do doesn't mean our Xiaodu speakers can do it. Don't forget, after the Prism scandal, foreign users no longer trust Android devices. Who dares to use Xiaodu speakers with Android system? Aren't they afraid of being recorded and monitored 24 hours a day?"

"This..." Lu Yingxuan was silent.

Yes, I’m afraid of being monitored!

The AI ​​speaker is online 24 hours a day, recording 24 hours a day, and uploading 24 hours a day!

It’s a monitoring artifact!

It's the Android system again, with a wide open backdoor, it's useless...

Qu Xin continued: "More importantly, AI speakers are just the hub. The most critical thing is the entire smart home layout behind it. Xingyi Smart Home has already done it and is well-known around the world. Not only many domestic brands have cooperated with Xingyi Smart Home, but also many foreign brands have joined Xingyi Smart Home."

"It can be said that Xingyi Smart Home is fully mature and has been adopted by hundreds of millions of households around the world. However, we at Baidu Smart Home are just starting out and don't even have a few partner brands."

"Besides, most of the staff in the smart home department have been laid off. It's impossible to do it even if we want to."

Lu Yingxuan felt terrible: "..."

We can only accept our fate, Baidu Smart Home is finished.

Qu Xin changed the subject: "I now know why Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi TVs always give away Xingyi Music annual memberships."

"Why? To improve the competitiveness of our own products?" Lu Yingxuan asked.

"This is only one aspect. The wool comes from the sheep, and it is added to the price of mobile phones and tablets. The most important thing is that this is a road of no return, a road of no return that induces users to consume."

"Point of no return? What do you mean?" Li Yan became interested.

"Think about it, if a user buys an Xphone 3 and gets a one-year membership to the Xingyi Music app for free, will he want to buy another Boundless AI Speaker or Xingyi AI Speaker? He can't waste the music membership, right?"

"Yes, this is human nature, and the borderless AI speakers are not expensive." Li Yan nodded: "This is inducing consumption!"

"That's right! And this is just the beginning!"

Qu Xin continued: "After having the Wujie AI speaker or Xingyi AI speaker, will users think Xingyi Smart Home is great? Will they want to experience the AI ​​speaker voice control of smart home appliances?"

Li Yan nodded: "That will definitely happen."

"Then when he buys home appliances later, will he directly buy various appliances from Xingyi Smart Home? We can't waste Smart Home!"

"Definitely."

"He used a Xingyi mobile phone, received a free Xingyi Music annual membership, used Xingyi Technology's AI speakers, and used a whole set of Xingyi smart home appliances. If he replaces his tablet or mobile phone in the future, he will continue to choose Xingyi Technology!"

“This is a road of no return!”

Li Yan's face changed drastically, and he was shocked: "Buy a Xingyi mobile phone and get a Xingyi music membership for free, which will inspire people to buy AI speakers, and then buy Xingyi smart home products, set up Xingyi smart home, and become a loyal user of Xingyi Technology. All subsequent products will use Xingyi Technology..."

"This is simply a pyramid scheme! Xingyi Technology is too cruel!"

Lu Yingxuan was also filled with emotion: "Xingyi Technology is too strong. Xingyi Smart Home deserves to grow bigger and make a lot of money! Its strategic vision and pattern are N levels higher than ours."

Qu Xin: “…”

Li Yan: "..."

Li Yan felt that he was being implied, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Yingxuan has already been half kicked out, what else can he do?
"By the way, President Lu, how was your talk with Tencent?" Qu Xin changed the subject and tried to smooth things over.

"I have already contacted Tencent about Xiaodu Speaker and Baidu Smart Home. But they are not very interested. They said that Xingyi Technology has already grown into a big market, and it would be difficult to get involved, especially since Tencent does not have much layout in hardware."

"Yes, that's difficult. You can try other electrical appliance brands."

"Well, I have contacted Midea, and will take a look at Haier and Gree later to see if they have any ideas."

Lu Yingxuan said quietly: "Also, Jia from LeTV contacted me and said he wanted to acquire it. I don't know if it's reliable..."

"LeTV? Making smart home?" Li Yan frowned, feeling it was unreliable.

"Chairman, do you also think that the other party is unreliable?" Lu Yingxuan couldn't help but ask.

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how sincere the other party is."

Well, if you are too close to others, it is possible to discuss it.

Lu Yingxuan's expression turned even uglier, knowing that to Li Yan, Baidu Zhijia had become a discarded pawn and was only worth selling for cash.

As long as the price is right, it doesn’t matter whether it makes money in the future or whether it develops or not.

What a rude person!

……

As the influence of the Prism Gate spread, not only Xingyi mobile phones, AI speakers, and headphones became popular all over the world, but also Changchat and Xingyi games became popular all over the world.

Seeing this scene, many overseas application and game developers could no longer sit still and contacted Xingyi Technology to start adapting to the XOS system.

Game developers in particular, seeing that the XOS platform has a promising future and many games on it are making huge profits, have begun adapting to the platform.

For example, Minecraft not only opened a public account for chatting and a Douyin certified account, but also directly announced:

[Minecraft is actively adapting to the XOS system and is expected to be officially launched on the XOS platform in October. See you there! ]

Immediately afterwards, "Temple Run" also began to officially announce:
[The XOS version of "Temple Run" has been adapted to the XOS system. The somatosensory version is currently being developed, see you in November! ]

Seeing that these games have been released, Gameloft SA can no longer sit still and decisively announced:

[Powerful games require powerful device performance. "Asphalt 8: Airborne" has joined forces with Xingyi Technology. The XOS version is under development and is expected to be launched at the end of October. "Asphalt 10" is also being adapted and is expected to be launched in mid-November! ]

Seeing this scene, many players were filled with joy:
"Amazing! They are starting to adapt to the XOS system. That's great. I can say goodbye to Android and IOS systems in the future."

"Asphalt 8: Airborne, which was just released at the end of last month, is also being adapted for the XOS system, which is great."

"Asphalt 8: Airborne is paired with the Xphone 3 Plus, Kunpeng 902 processor, 5.5-inch 1080 ultra-clear screen, and the Teana M1 audio chip. It's absolutely awesome!"

"I'm looking forward to it. Temple Run is even going to be adapted for the motion sensing version. The pattern has been opened up. My Xingyi TV X60 will have another motion sensing game."

“After Asphalt 8: Airborne is adapted to the XOS system, it should be playable on the Xingyi TV, right?”

"That's for sure, the experience is great!"

"It would be even better if it could be made into a somatosensory game."

"So many games have been adapted, what about Clash of Clans? When will it be adapted?"

"Yeah, when will Clash of Clans be adapted? I'm a veteran."

“Calling Supercell Oy, when will Clash of Clans be adapted to XOS?”

"Jointly urge!"

There are many game and application developers who are urged to adapt to the XOS system.

In response to this, most application developers and game developers have responded positively, agreed to adapt, and even directly given a launch time node.

Especially popular games, most of them have begun to actively adapt.

Supercell Oy headquarters.

"Director, other popular games are beginning to adapt to the XOS system. Should our Clash of Clans also be adapted?"

Director Leandre Arnold frowned:
"Adapt? What the hell, their Boom Beach is the same genre as ours, it's not compatible!"

“But if it’s not compatible, we will lose a platform’s revenue and a lot of users!”

"That's not suitable either. A system made by a Xia country enterprise is not worth adapting!"

Seeing the director being so arrogant, the subordinates were helpless.

We are seeing other platforms officially announcing their adaptation and the launch time of the XOS system.

But the official of "Clash of Clans" pretended to be dead and ignored it.

This made many players very angry:

"What does Supercell Oy mean by not wanting to adapt Clash of Clans to XOS?"

"It's possible. It's been a long time and there's still no reaction."

"Don't give up, unite and leave a message on the official Clash of Clans platform so that Clash of Clans can be adapted to the XOS system!"

"Good attention! I'm currently playing Boom Beach by Xingyi Games, which is pretty good, but I've been playing Clash of Clans for more than a year, and I can't bear to give up all my wealth."
