Our Rise Era

Chapter 229 We, Xiaomai 3, are here!

"Fuck! After two years of waiting, is [Wheat 3] finally coming?"

"Damn it, the supply of [wheat] is back! Two years, do you know how I spent these two years?"

"In the past, [Xiaomi 2] brought down the prices of all those high-end mobile phones... After disappearing for two years, these mobile phones dare to sell at sky-high prices again! This time, let's bring them down again!"

"..."

"According to my latest news, or not really the latest news, to be honest, the [Wheat 3] has been forcibly restricted by [Samsung] in the past two years. Although I am looking forward to [Wheat 3] bringing us surprises, it is impossible to think about it... After all, even if [Wheat 3] comes out, the configuration is probably two years ago..."

"I don't care, no matter what his configuration is, I will support it!"

"..."

09...

When [Xiaomi 2] appeared on the Internet with its amazing configuration and extreme cost performance...

The entire Chinese mobile phone industry is in an uproar!
That year...

It is called the year of "Wheat Killing God" by countless mobile phone users.

That year, the Samsung I5999, which was priced at 750 yuan, was dethroned by the Xiaomai 2 overnight. LG's new mobile phone was even delayed for half a year. It was said that the configuration was changed before it was officially released.

That year, the first Android-powered mobile phone, the Shengxing SX-G1, was severely suppressed.
That year, not only Shengxing mobile phones, but even all domestic mobile phones were forced to reduce their prices, and the so-called copycat phones were completely wiped out...

……

[Xiaomi 2] brings such a huge surprise to all users.

Two years later, the sales of [Xiaomi 2] mobile phones were still increasing by tens of thousands of units per month.

This phone not only has high configuration, but also high fluency!

Although it is sold online, the after-sales service is also very good!

As long as there is a problem with your mobile phone and it is not a man-made problem, just pay the courier fee to [Zhengyang Express] and [Xiaomi Technology] will officially repair it for free!
It is truly free, and no other fees will be incurred except the express fee.

The surprise of [Wheat 2] made countless users keep their eyes on [Wheat 3], and their expectations were instantly raised to the maximum.

……

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the [Xiaomi 3] will hold a press conference on May 520. Can you tell us about the configuration of [Xiaomi 3] in advance?"

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that [Wheat 3] was suppressed by many investors, and it is very likely that the allocation will not be ideal. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm a reporter from Douni Video. I'd like to ask, can the configuration of the newly released Xiaomai 3 keep up with the new Samsung mobile phone?"

"..."

From the sudden announcement of the release of "Wheat 5" in May to May 3th.

Countless reporters are asking about the configuration of [Wheat 3] and some of the insider information that will follow...

Zhang Yang did not respond at first.

Just smile and don't say anything.

Until May 5, when a reporter interviewed...

Zhang Yang suddenly looked at the camera and asked a serious question: "If I say... [Xiaomi 3] will have the same configuration as a year ago, the price-performance ratio will not be that high, and the price will still be 1999, then will anyone buy it?"

This issue instantly caused an uproar in the mobile phone circle.

【Wheat 3】 is the configuration from a year ago...

Price: 1999...

Will I buy...

……

These words suddenly poured like cold water into the hearts of countless people.

This made users, who were originally full of expectations, instantly feel a little disappointed.

After asking this question, Zhang Yang no longer accepted any interviews and disappeared into the crowd.

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

"Is Mr. Zhang already so pessimistic?"

“I’m not being pessimistic. This should be the last dance of the [Wheat] series of mobile phones…”

“Although [Xiaomi 2] has brought us great value and unprecedented cost-effectiveness, it has also lowered the prices of all high-end models in the market… Although [Xiaomi 2] has been around for almost 5 years, it is still a new brand. Apart from purchasing overseas parts, it has no self-development capabilities… Although it is trying to develop its own products, it still seems very immature in the face of so many mobile phone giants.”

"Ah, actually, I think so too. I am also pessimistic about the configuration of [Xiaomi 3]. I heard that some products of [Xiaomi 3] generation mobile phones seem to use domestic accessories..."

"Domestic accessories? Isn't that a complete failure? I really don't have much confidence in domestic accessories..."

"Actually, me too!"

"Will you go to the press conference?"

"..."

November 5st, 20 p.m.

In 08, when [Wheat 1] was released, Zheng Xiaorong was a college student from the countryside. At that time, she bought [Wheat 1].

She thought this phone would be slow and difficult to use, but she never expected that the quality would be more than twice as good as other phones of the same price, and it was very, very powerful. It is still usable now. For the first time, she felt the joy of taking photos with a phone, and it also has MP3 and MP4. Before that, a phone with such functions and complete functions would cost at least 3000 yuan...

When [Wheat 2] was released, Zheng Xiaorong, who had worked part-time to earn money until her senior year, spent 1999 to buy a [Wheat 2]. The extreme cost-effectiveness made Zheng Xiaorong feel unprecedented satisfaction.

……

In 10, because she was excellent in all aspects during her school years, her job search went smoothly. She joined XunTeng Technology, the company she had always dreamed of, and was responsible for XunTeng Mail, thus achieving a counterattack in her life.

In the second half of 11, following the head of the email department of XunTeng Technology, I started to develop another chat software which has no name yet but will be specially designed for smartphones in the future.

During this period, the quality of the [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone remained very good, and she has been using it until now.

……

In 12, when I saw the news about [Xiaomi 3], the social software had been basically completed and officially put into trial use, and was named [WeChat].

When she looked at the [Wheat 2] in her hand and checked the [WeChat] group, some people were talking about [Wheat 3], and she paused for a moment. I don't know if you will buy it, but at least I will buy it!

Zheng Xiaorong packed up her things and walked silently towards the center of Pengcheng. Xiaomai Mobile Phone had accompanied her throughout her youth, helping her experience the multimedia era from having nothing to now having a certain income...

Although it is not as addictive as the iPhone, in a sense, it is also a form of mutual support.

more importantly……

This is the most difficult time for [Wheat 3].

If [Wheat 3] falls down.

So, from now on, perhaps there will no longer be any mobile phone that offers cost-effectiveness from the perspective of their users.

Or an expensive high-end mobile phone...

Or a low-end knockoff phone with a low price and poor configuration and system...

Although her little support cannot change the current situation, it is at least a support!
……

She got in the car and headed straight towards the Pengcheng Central Stadium.

I thought the launch of the [Xiaomi 3] phone might not be as lively as that of [Xiaomi 2].

But after seeing countless media and countless young people rushing over there, Zheng Xiaorong realized that things were not as she imagined...

【小麦3】发布时间是5月20，5点20分……

It is exactly 4 o'clock at this moment.

However, the closer we got to Pengcheng Central Stadium, the more traffic became congested, and the driver eventually stopped.

"Girl, let's just leave it at that...it might be faster for you to walk than drive!"

Zheng Xiaorong looked ahead...

She was shocked!
many people!
It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.

It looked like a sea of ​​people.

"Didn't you say that [Wheat 3] is not that cost-effective? Why did you come here?"

"It's fine to come and see the fun. As long as the price-performance ratio is not too bad and the price is not too high, I have no problem buying one..."

“Why are you so supportive of [Wheat 3]?”

"I don't know how to put it, but at least, I don't want this brand to disappear. Moreover, I trust Mr. Zhang, and he has never let us down. Even if it is in a short trough period now, as long as [Xiaomi Mobile] is still alive, I believe that Mr. Zhang will still surprise us in the future!"

"..."

Along the way, Zheng Xiaorong heard a lot of interviews.

It seems that there are many people who share the same idea as me...

When we got close to the stadium...

Zheng Xiaorong realized one thing.

That is, the stadium with a capacity of 5000 people is full.

She could only stay outside...

Look at the big screen outside.

Time passes little by little...

She noticed that there were more and more people outside the stadium...

Although not all of them came to support [Xiaomi Mobile Phone], such high popularity is incredible.

This is almost as big a deal as the time when iPhone 4S was launched in China.

……

Wait until 5:20...

Zheng Xiaorong suddenly heard a noise in the stadium.

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

In the distance, the sun sets.

A sunset dyed half the sky red.

Zhang Yang, wearing jeans and a shirt, walked onto the stage silently.

Compared to the passion when [Wheat 3] was released, the publicity at this moment seems to be a bit more complicated.

Looking at the huge crowds of users.

Zhang Yang held the microphone.

"First of all, I want to say sorry..."

"Sorry, we are late. We are two years late and have made you wait for two years..."

"In the past two years, there have been so many changes. During this period, I have been thinking about how our [Wheat 3] should be, how it should be..."

"But reality is sometimes cruel. For some reasons, we can only postpone and change our configuration over and over again..."

"I actually always hoped that our [Xiaomi 3] could compete with the [iPhone 4S] mobile phone..."

"But, sorry, we can't match the iPhone 4S and bring you the A5 dual-core processor..."

Zhang Yang's voice was very low.

It was so low that everyone felt an unspeakable heaviness deep in their hearts.

He walked slowly towards the big screen next to him.

Just as the big screen lit up, Zhang Yang suddenly changed the subject: "However, we brought Qualcomm S4 dual-core, Samsung I4500 processor configuration priced at more than 790 yuan..."

"..."
