Chapter 422 Sold out

The weather in Hangzhou in early April was already a bit hot.

Gao Yuan flew to Beijing again. This time he went to Beijing at the invitation of Lei Jun to attend the launch conference of Xiaomi mobile phone.

Unlike Hangzhou, the temperature in Beijing is still a bit low at this season. If you are outdoors, the cold wind will blow and you can still feel a little chilly if you don't wear a thicker coat.

It was not until noon, when the sun was shining brightly, that it felt pleasant.

If you go further north, to the northeast, you will still see snow in some places at high altitudes.

The only thing that makes people happy is that flowers are blooming in the capital at this season, and spring has arrived in the north.

Unlike the desolate winter, the forest belts along the street are now showing some greenery.

Lei Jun went to the airport to meet Gao Yuan, and then got into Gao Yuan's special car and went to the hotel for the press conference together.

On the way, Lei Bushi smiled and introduced to Gao Yuan: "The environment in Beijing is much better than it was ten years ago. I remember that ten years ago, every March and April, the strong wind blew yellow sand from the northwest of Beijing, surrounding the entire city."

"At that time, you had to wear a mask when you went out, otherwise your nose would be filled with the smell of sand and dust. When you went to bed at night, you had to close the doors and windows. Many families also bought air purifiers and turned them on 24 hours a day."

"The capital is much better now. 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 constantly increasing."

When winter and spring come together, northwest and northeast winds blow across China. The northwest region is mostly Gobi desert, with yellow sand filling the sky.

As a result, the weather in the capital is not very good. In recent years, trees have been planted and the environment in the capital has gradually improved.

"Boss Lei came to Beijing in 92, right?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"That's right. I graduated from university in 91, and in 92 I came to work at Kingsoft in Beijing," Lei Jun said. "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Lei Jun has witnessed the development of Beijing over the past thirty years and has many feelings about it.

The past thirty years of Lei Jun's life are also known as the thirty years of cheating. He graduated from a university in Hubei Province in 91, joined Kingsoft Software Company in 92 as development manager, became the general manager of the department in 94, was promoted to CEO in 98, and led the company to go public in 07.

He then resigned and started working as an angel investor. In 10, he founded Xiaomi, which he still works for today.

Any of his resume would be explosive to the outside world.

"Awesome!"

Gao Yuan praised.

"Compared to Mr. Gao, I'm still far behind," Lei Jun said modestly.

If he is called a life of cheating, a hero in a cool novel, then Gao Yuan is really a cheater, and in just a few years, he has 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 Beijing over the past 30 years.

We ended the chat reluctantly until we were almost at the hotel for the press conference.

For Lei Jun, although Gao Yuan is younger than him and is considered his junior in business, chatting with Gao Yuan makes him happy both physically and mentally.

"The press conference will officially begin in an hour. I'll go get ready. Mr. Gao, please go to your room and take a rest."

Rebus said.

"No problem, Mr. Lei, you can go ahead and do your work first."

Gao Yuan went straight to the hotel room to rest, while Lei Jun had already started preparing for the press conference.

Over the years, every time Xiaomi holds a new product launch conference, Lei Jun would personally attend.

Before Gao Yuan appeared, Lei Jun was undoubtedly the No. 1 IP among domestic entrepreneurs. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lei Jun started a press conference and broadcast it live, millions of netizens would flock to watch the press conference in an instant.

Indirectly saving the company no less than hundreds of millions of advertising costs.

Other companies followed suit and began to imitate Lei Jun, with Lao Zhou being the leader. No matter what Lei Jun did, Lao Zhou would learn from him.

This also led to many people joking online that if Lei Jun published an autobiography, the author would definitely be Lao Zhou.

Lei Jun's understanding of himself is far less than that of Lao Zhou and others.

"Are you ready?"

Lei Jun talked with the staff backstage about the details for a long time, and seeing that the time for the press conference was about to arrive, Lei Jun asked the staff.

"Boss Lei, all the equipment has been debugged, there are no problems."

The staff replied.

Lei Jun is very strict about details. According to him, there can be no mistakes in this kind of press conference.

"it is good!"

Lei Jun walked into the venue.

The next second, warm applause broke out from the audience. Lei Jun glanced at the audience and immediately saw Gao Yuan sitting in the first row.

Then, Lei Bushi smiled and nodded at Gao Yuan.

"Good evening, classmates and Mr. Gao who has come 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 our own business. 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 today."

"As of last year, our global sales of Xiaomi smartphones reached 140 million units. Without Mi fans, we wouldn't be where we are today, let alone Xiaomi smartphones."

"If a company wants to develop steadily, it cannot do without the strong support of all the students, and it also cannot do without the hard work of our Xiaomi employees."

"..."

Lei Jun first talked about the development of Xiaomi over the years, and then talked about the cooperation between Xiaomi and 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 in the audience had a straightforward impression.

"Next, let's invite Mr. Gao Yuan to the stage."

Lei Jun said that he invited Gao Yuan to attend this press conference in order to get Gao Yuan to come to the platform.

When Gao Yuan walked onto the stage, the audience burst into warm applause.

The live broadcast room, which originally had millions of people, instantly soared to tens of millions.

After learning about the number of audience members backstage, Lei Jun was shocked. He was indeed worthy of being President Gao, his popularity was too high.

It saved at least tens of billions of advertising costs.

On the stage, Gao Yuan slowly spoke, "To be honest, my first mobile phone was a Xiaomi. I was still a student at the time and couldn't afford high-end phones like Apple and Samsung. The quality of those cheap phones was too poor, and Xiaomi's price-performance ratio was the best."

"At that time, I developed a strong interest in Xiaomi mobile phones. I didn't expect that several years later, I would cooperate with Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi Mobile Phone, to launch this hot series of mobile phones together..."

Since he was supporting Lei Jun, Gao Yuan would definitely say something nice.

Xiaomi phones are indeed the youth of many people and are also the first mobile phones they use.

They use this phone to play games with friends and chat with their first love until late at night.

Maybe many years later, they will have jobs and income that can support them to buy more expensive mobile phones, but the experience that Xiaomi phones bring to them will be different.

You can change your cell phone, but your youth will never come back.

"I am a veteran Mi fan. When the Xiaomi phone was first released, it was priced at 1999. Do you know how excited I was? It was like finding a treasure. I was very happy for a month after I bought it. Now I have money and use a Huawei phone, but in my heart, the Xiaomi phone is really a memory of my youth."

"I remember the Xiaomi phone I used before, which was full of photos of me and my girlfriend. My girlfriend was very nice, but unfortunately I lost her in the end."

"When I was in school, many of my classmates used Xiaomi phones. We had so much fun going out for barbecues and picnics. Now I'm older and richer, but I can't go back to those happy times..."

"..."

There were thousands of invited audience members sitting in the audience. After hearing Gao Yuan's words, they all fell into memories.

Maybe Xiaomi phones are not the best, but in their hearts, Xiaomi phones have accompanied them through their most youthful years.

"Ahem... My son is a fan of Xiaomi phones. He hides in Xiaomi stores all day long and plays games on his phone. I would like to call Xiaomi the first Internet cafe for young people."

"Fuck, my son is the same. He is not allowed to play with his phone at home, so he makes an excuse to go out and play with his classmates. He ends up hiding in a Xiaomi phone store with his classmates to play King of Glory."

"Xiaomi phones are really powerful. We start educating children when they are young. In another 10 or 20 years, will those children all say that they owe Xiaomi a phone?"

"..."

Xiaomi mobile phone has become popular recently because the store clerks do not chase away children, who are able to play games on their mobile phones in the store. Not to mention, the skills of these children are really amazing.

As Gao Yuan’s wave of reminiscences ended, the press conference reached its climax.

Lei Jun began to explain the product. "The Xiaomi Mi 7 series uses a brand new system, which was developed jointly by us and Yuanfang Group. The stability of the new system far exceeds that of other mobile phones."

"We have compared the systems of Apple, 4-star and even Huawei phones, and the result is that our Xiaomi Sizzling series beats them in all aspects."

"This phone is so cool!"

"In addition, the new series of mobile phones have more functions. In terms of design layout, we have adopted a bold design that is more suitable for young people..."

After Lei Jun explained the new system of the mobile phone, he instantly attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

Then, Lei Jun began to announce the price, "The price of this phone is not 5999 yuan, nor 4999 yuan, and even less 3999 yuan. The price of the basic model is 2999 yuan! After years of making mobile phones, we have always adhered to our original intention and created products that everyone loves, so that more people can use our Xiaomi phones and immerse themselves in the experience that Xiaomi phones bring to everyone..."

As Lei Jun announced the selling price, the audience in the audience and the audience in the live broadcast room went crazy.

The mobile phone system is better than the Apple system. How confident do you need to be to say this?
One stone can cause a thousand ripples. The news that Xiaomi's new mobile phone uses a new system instantly topped the hot search list of major websites.

At Lei Jun's order, 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 the Xiaomi mobile phone, and the other is the YouNi APP.

In the first minute of sales, the number of orders in Xiaomi Mall exceeded 30,000 units, and the number of orders through YouNi APP exceeded 50,000 units.

In just the first minute, the sales volume reached 80,000 units. I have to say it is terrifying.

Ten minutes after the sale started, the number of orders on Xiaomi Mall exceeded 200,000 units, and the number of orders on YouNi APP exceeded 350,000 units.

There is no doubt that the launch of the Hot Series of mobile phones was a success.

It broke one million units in fifteen minutes, one and a half million units in half an hour, and two million units in an hour.

One of the reasons is that this phone is indeed very cost-effective, and it is also undeniable that Gao Yuan played a role in it.

After all, this phone is the first one made by Yuanfang in cooperation with Xiaomi, so Yuanfang’s fans are still very receptive to it.

After the press conference, Lei Jun hosted a banquet.

At the banquet, Lei Jun thanked Gao Yuan warmly.

"Sales of two million units in one hour have already set a new sales record for domestic mobile phones," Lei Jun said excitedly. "When some review bloggers get their hands on the new phones tomorrow, they will definitely start reviewing them as soon as possible. I believe our Xiaomi Mi 8 series 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 to operate.

The reason why Apple phones are so awesome is that after some software is exited and running in the background, the Apple system minimizes the memory occupied by these software.

The closedness and security of Apple phones are also second to none, and today, Xiaomi's hot series of phones will break the monopoly of Apple phones and become the best phone in the world.

Of course, it is just the best mobile phone at present. Once the Yuanfang mobile phone is launched on the market, it will replace Xiaomi mobile phone and become the best mobile phone.

The blooming period of Xiaomi's hot series of mobile phones is very short, but it is enough to be proud of.

Moreover, in terms of price, Xiaomi phones are also targeting the low-end market.

With a price tag of 3000 yuan, the price-performance ratio is extremely high.

"Mr. Gao, my previous estimate was that the annual sales volume would be over 10 million. Now I think that the sales volume may really reach over 20 million." Lei Jun became more and more confident.

"I also believe that the Xiaomi Hot Series of mobile phones will create even 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's hot series of mobile phones cannot produce enough even if it runs 24 hours a day.

Originally, Lei Jun held the press conference when he already had hundreds of thousands of units in stock. He had expected the product to be popular, but he just didn't expect it to be this popular.
