The world is in trouble

Chapter 317 Sales Soar, Resounding Victory

Chapter 317 Sales Soar! A Resounding Victory!
Sometimes, it really is a kind of momentum, even something very subtle.

Before the second press conference on quantum technology was held, sales of the Samsung i7500 and Motorola DRIOD were booming.

The key issue is that these two products are really inferior to quantum phones in terms of product quality, but they still sell well and have managed to stop the momentum of quantum phones.

The second press conference, especially the launch of the Quantum Note 1 and XPAD, directly regained that momentum.

Moreover, as Lin Xiao had imagined, the sales of xpad were not particularly good.

But... it can boost morale and enhance brand prestige.

This is because it is the first truly intelligent tablet computer, and it has been tested by numerous bloggers who have given it rave reviews.

Whether in China or overseas, especially in China, its game and film resources are outstanding.

Most importantly, it also features Kuaibo in China, supports P2P download technology, and even supports nearby resource technology.

This... is absolutely insane.

Although you can access Kuaibo on your phone, a tablet screen is much bigger.

Historically, the Kuaibo software went bankrupt, and even its founder was imprisoned.

In this world, Kuaibo was thriving. Under the Lightning Group, no competitor had ever even considered bringing Kuaibo under their wing.

No giant, no matter how crazy, could possibly have this idea.

It's already a good thing that the Lightning Group didn't send you to jail.

The current Lightning Group is definitely the top-tier Pizza Hut in Xuhui District.

Moreover, according to Lin Xiao's original strategy, the video business is divided into two parts: one is YouTube, which is mainly based on user sharing, and will gradually begin to integrate Chinese and foreign content.

We will strive to promote Chinese videos overseas, and also promote overseas videos overseas.

The other part is pure film and television resources, directly named Lightning Film and Television, which was originally promoted directly on the basis of Kuaibo.

But in the end, they gave up.

Kuaibo remains Kuaibo, but it has launched a separate application called Flash Video.

Kuaibo became a truly amazing software, an ad-free media player that was constantly being updated and upgraded, a gift from Lin Xiao to the world.

Its core function is not just color, but also a high-quality playback software.

As is widely known, there have been many media player software programs in China throughout history, such as QQ Player, Xunlei Player, and Baofeng Player.

They look great, but in reality, when playing videos, the picture and sound quality are both poor.

To get a better playback experience, you still need to download software like PotPlayer, and Kuaibo is also moving in this direction.

It is precisely because of this concept that it is free, advanced, and benefits users worldwide.

Therefore, Kuaibo not only swept across China, but also globally, earning it the nickname "angel software".

Not only Kuaibo, but also Qianqian Jingting.

It remains free, still has a full project team, and continues to upgrade and update.

The key is that its copyright library is constantly expanding globally, which is why it has become so popular and gone global.

Another platform that quickly gained popularity was Xiaohongshu.

It seems to have an innate ability to attract countless girls, not only domestically but also internationally.

Promoting it will be much more efficient and effective.

These software programs have unknowingly strengthened the entire ecosystem of the X operating system.

Several professional bloggers have made good points: Google and Apple may be more powerful, but they have basically handed over the ecosystem of applications for their operating systems to other developers.

Quantum technology is different; it has an entire army behind it that continuously launches excellent apps that address users' pain points.

Even though many of these applications may not be profitable for a long time, the entire Lin Xiao system will invest a lot of human, material, and, more importantly, intellectual resources to develop these applications, making them better and better serving global users.

Therefore, following the second press conference on quantum technology.

The Android camp's frenzied expansion was suddenly halted.

The Motorola Drodo's sales were somewhat better, while the sales of the Samsung I7500 plummeted.

Actually, its reputation was already quite bad right after its release, and it had many shortcomings, but its sales were still very good.

Because the points that were criticized about it didn't really go viral.

This second press conference on quantum technology has sparked another wave of scientific and technological discussion.

Moreover, Lin Xiao's romantic scandals and his fulfillment of many people's dreams, including creating so many billionaires, put him in a precarious position.

As a result, many words have gone viral.

For example, the term "king of machines".

The Quantum Note is considered the flagship device, a claim that has garnered widespread consensus.

Even if its sales volume is not as high as Coolpad K1, its contribution to the brand value is immeasurable.

Along with this came various complaints about the Samsung I7500, such as large pixelation, being overcharged, and the phone getting so hot it could fry an egg.

More importantly, countless review media outlets have compared it to the Coolpad K1.

The result was that the Coolpad K1 was priced at less than half the price of its competitor, but completely outperformed it in performance.

Many users who bought the Samsung I7500 before didn't feel any harm because it was their first time using a smartphone and they had no comparisons. They thought it was great.

But I've been using it for four or five months now, and there are more and more machines around that I can compare with.

So these users also discovered that the screen was very rough, the phone was very laggy, it got very hot, the camera was very bad, and so on.

This result not only caused a sharp drop in sales, but more importantly, it severely damaged the brand's value and reputation.

..............................

"To date, the number of mobile devices running the X operating system has exceeded 2700 million!"

"There are approximately 2000 million mobile devices running the Android operating system."

“搭载IOS的手机终端大约在3500万台，其中第一代IPHONE是600万台，iphone3G是1100万台，IPHONE3GS是1800万台。”

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement; Apple is truly amazing.

Moreover, some people were indignant, even Lin Xiao was indignant.

Apple phones are awesome, but the iPhone 3G and 3GS, in terms of both design and performance, are not as radical as the Quantum Phone.

But these sales figures are truly enviable.

"Among them, the number of mobile terminals using the X operating system in China has exceeded 1200 million."

"Of course, there is another encouraging statistic: WeChat's active users have increased by 7 million in China alone and 20 million worldwide in the past month."

"Currently, we have over 23 million active users in China and over 100 million users globally."

"Of course, there is still a very, very, very large gap between the number of users in China and that of QQ, but judging from the existing active users, their stickiness is very, very high."

"Another very encouraging statistic is that, regardless of whether it's the X OS platform or the iOS platform, WeChat and WeChat consistently rank third in downloads."

"After months of fierce fighting, we have once again gained the upper hand against the Android system."

"On the Android side, Lenovo's LEphone in October was basically a failure. Now we'll see what happens in November with another mobile phone giant, LG."

"If it can replicate the success of Samsung and Motorola, then the Android camp could very well overtake our X system once again."

........................

Li Shuang is riding people like crazy again.

She has a big butt and looks very fierce.

But... she cherishes Lin Xiao's body from the bottom of her heart, so she is still not as ruthless as Wu Lingxi.

She still didn't come down after it was over.

She lay directly on top of Lin Xiao to talk, but this only made her ample buttocks even more breathtaking.

"Hey, when are you going to get rid of the little water droplet?"

"You're holding me back. I want to have a baby. I can't afford to cause any more problems if you guys haven't sorted things out."

“If we don’t have a baby soon, my sister will miss her prime childbearing years.”

At that moment, the door was opened and Xia Xi walked in without any hesitation.

Lin Xiao quickly tried to cover himself with a blanket.

"Tch, what haven't I seen?" Xia Xi scoffed.

“Yeah, what hasn’t she seen?” Li Shuang was very open-minded, not only not hiding anything, but not even changing her posture.

Xia Xi: "The Spring Festival Gala organizers sent someone over specifically to ask if we're sponsoring it again this year."

Lin Xiao: "Sponsorship."

Xia Xi: "Is it sponsoring quantum phones, or focusing on WeChat?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while: "Let's focus on WeChat, it's more suitable for the Chinese New Year."

Li Shuang: "However, the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse."

Xia Xi: "By the way, Lightning Group has probably made a bit too much money this year."

She handed him a report, and Lin Xiao gasped slightly as he read it.

The earning potential of games is simply terrifying.

This year, the user base of "Zhu Xian" only increased slightly, but "Dungeon Fighter Online" and "League of Legends" saw explosive growth.

Therefore, Lightning Group occupies three of the top five most profitable games in the entire market.

Most importantly, Dungeon Fighter Online (DNF) has defied the odds and made a comeback in the South Korean market.

After many years of penetration, "Zhu Xian" has finally entered the South Korean and Southeast Asian markets, and it has become very popular, especially in Southeast Asia, which is something that has never been done before.

Leveraging the powerful influence of Facebook and YouTube, Lightning Group's overseas expansion of its gaming products has been remarkably successful.

Most importantly, the myth of Er Gou's single-player games was so powerful that it attracted a portion of players to online games.

Meanwhile, the peak concurrent users of League of Legends worldwide quickly surpassed five million. Although it's only November, this year's revenue can likely already be estimated, with a growth rate exceeding 100% compared to last year, and the entire group's revenue exceeding 200 billion RMB, and by a significant margin.

"Xia Xi, we were just talking about having children," Li Shuang said. "Lightning Group is getting stronger and stronger, with so many assets. Don't you want to have a few children to inherit them?"

Xia Xi: "With him?"

Li Shuang: "Yes, I'll lend it to him for half an hour."

Xia Xi: "Sigh! It's so hard to do. The guilt is too strong. He really is my younger brother, and I already recognized Da Ye Village as my parents a long time ago."

"However, could it be done like this?"

"Lin Xiao, after you and Wu Lingxi get pregnant, transfer the embryo into my belly, and I will help you give birth."

"That's perfect!"

"You crazy woman!" Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

"You won't agree?" Xia Xi: "That's no big deal. I'll just snatch any baby and have them call me mom."

Being alone isn't so bad.

..............................

mid-December.

An authoritative set of media data has been officially released.

2900 million mobile terminals using the X operating system.

IOS3600 million.

Android 2050 million.

"In the three-way battle of mobile operating systems, Android has now fallen behind."

This data is quite accurate. In just half a month, the number of mobile terminals running the X operating system increased by two million, which is an astonishing growth rate.

Meanwhile, Apple added one million units in just half a month.

On the Android side, only half a million units were added.

"Android's dangerous moment has arrived, and no one expected this outcome."

"The situation is developing so rapidly. Before September, Android was very strong, not only quickly surpassing the market share of the X operating system, but also with new giants launching Android phone products every two months. This gives people the feeling that quantum technology is doomed and Android will quickly leave quantum technology behind until it is completely defeated."

"I never imagined that in less than two months, the entire offensive and defensive strategies would change so drastically."

"No one expected that in less than two months, the number of mobile terminals running the X operating system would double."

"Previously, everyone thought that quantum technology was fighting alone, without any major allies behind it."

"But no one could have predicted that quantum technology could propel a completely new brand to such high sales in the shortest amount of time."

"Just a few months ago, Coolpad was virtually unknown; hardly anyone in the world had ever heard of it."

"And now its mobile phones have shipped more than ten million units worldwide."

"This is the divine power of the Second Dog Cult Leader. He can single-handedly support a powerful ally in a short period of time."

"And next up is Google's turn. In November, another giant, LG, will also release its first Android phone."

"Whether Android can overtake the X operating system again this year depends on LG's product."

..............................

Then, the attention of global technology media inexplicably focused on LG.

but……

The LG Optimus One isn't a high-level strategic product for the group; it's their first Android phone and has a somewhat experimental nature.

As a result of the fierce struggle between the two camps, it suddenly became the focus of attention.

The key point is that it's not a flagship phone.

Neither its appearance nor its configuration can be considered flagship.

Regardless, the phone was still released.

Both use the Qualcomm QSD8250 processor, both have a 4-inch screen, and both have a 480P screen.

Moreover, because it was released six months later, there was much more room for various training methods.

Therefore, it's not as laggy as the Samsung I7500, nor does it get as hot.

But... all of this comes at a price.

Because this phone is not a flagship model, it has a plastic back cover, no metal frame, and no glass back cover, and its thickness exceeds 13 millimeters.

It was utterly unremarkable and extremely mediocre.

The press conference immediately drew criticism from media around the world.

But... it only costs 1999 yuan.

It's 900 yuan cheaper than Lenovo, and the same price as the Coolpad K1.

Moreover, it is also sold overseas with a two-year contract for free.

Moreover, in some markets, it is even cheaper than 1999. For example, in the Indian market, its price is equivalent to only 1800 RMB.

You could say that the strategy was originally correct.

Samsung and Motorola are responsible for the global high-end market.

Lian Xiang is in charge of the Chinese market.

LG's phone, on the other hand, is designed for the global mid-to-low-end market.

This strategy could have been a huge success, completely capturing the market and potentially causing a massive surge in global shipments.

but now……

It was nipped in the bud.

In the domestic market, you might have brand appeal, but Coolpad has the added advantage of quantum technology and the support of "Ergou Jiaozhu" (a popular internet personality), resulting in higher configuration, better looks, and a price that is 900 yuan cheaper than yours.

In overseas markets, both the Coolpad K1 and LG Optimus one are sold through carrier contracts.

Basically, on every counter, there are two mobile phones placed together.

Any consumer, even one with eyesight, can see the difference between the two phones.

It's so thin, so good-looking, and takes such great photos.

It's all plastic, so thick, and so ugly.

You said LG is a globally renowned brand? A big name?

Please, if you've already bought a budget phone, you shouldn't care about the brand, right?

Moreover, although Coolpad is a new brand, everyone instinctively thinks that it is the younger brother of Quantum Technology.

Many people even believe that this is a sub-brand of quantum technology.

Therefore, the Android budget phone market, which was originally poised for explosive growth, was directly hijacked and snatched away.

..............................

June!

A brand-new, authoritative consumer report has been released.

3150 million mobile terminals using the X operating system.

IOS3700 million.

Android 2150 million.

"It has to be said that the situation is getting worse and worse for Google's Android."

"In mid-November, LG released new products, but more than half a month later, the sales of Android phones and X phones not only failed to catch up, but the gap continued to widen."

"In November, the gap between the two sides was only over eight million, but now the gap has exceeded ten million!"

"Another piece of bad news is that the reputation of the X operating system is starting to take hold, or more accurately, the software applications under the quantum technology system."

"As more and more smartphones based on the X system and Apple phones using iOS become available, the number of users of related software based on the quantum system is increasing dramatically every day."

"Even on the iOS platform, apps like Facebook, YouTube, WeChat, Instagram, Onlyfans, Twitter, and KBplay consistently occupy the top ten spots on the download charts!"

"Users may not have noticed it yet, but in a year or two, these apps will form a strong moat. And all of these apps are lightning-fast, excluding the Android system."

"This moat may not be obvious now, but when the number of related terminals exceeds 100 million or 200 million, then systems without these software will be a complete disaster."

"All of this will come very quickly, at least faster than we imagine."

"So, while it may seem like we have a lot of time left for this war, in reality, we don't have much time left."

"I would even say that if Android hadn't turned the tide in 2010, its chances would have been slim."

"This may be very painful for a giant like Google, but it is also the truth."

"You still have a year, you still have a chance."

"But if we don't win in the following year, we'll never win again."

........................

And at the same time!
The Sony Group board is launching a counterattack.

Kazuo Hirai and Amy Pascal are trying to oust Chairman Howard Stringer.

Because he made a strategic mistake, he became estranged from the strategic relationship with quantum technology.

In addition, there is another major announcement.

That is, the movie "Coco," adapted from Lin Xiao's "The Graveyard Book," is about to be released worldwide.
