Our Rise Era

Chapter 251 The Gears of Destiny

In the distant sky.

The orange sunset dyed half the sky red.

It’s not the internationally renowned conference room, it’s not the Yanjing 10,000-person stadium, it’s not the Pengcheng Central Plaza…

There is no projector, no big TV screen, no flashing lights, no colorful lights...

There was only a young man wearing glasses, standing at the entrance of the company, standing under a cheap [Wheat A] advertising cloth that cost no more than a hundred yuan, and doing a live broadcast.

"Many years ago, I was thinking about something..."

"In this era of rapid change, what kind of phone should the [Xiaomi] series of mobile phones be, and what kind of things should it bring to me..."

"I thought about this question for a long time, until the day when [Xiaomi 1] was released..."

“When we released [Xiaomi 1], we had nothing. No technology, no core, no after-sales service, and even no decent platform…”

"We were reckless and rushed forward recklessly, diving into the pit of the mobile phone..."

"Five years have passed in a flash..."

"Over the five years, I remember it clearly, it was an evening."

"All of us were sitting in the office, excitedly watching the sales of [Wheat 1]..."

"Every time we sell a phone, we shout with excitement. Every time we get a favorable comment, we are so excited that we want to take out the loudspeaker and announce it to the whole world, even if it is just a tiny, insignificant piece of data..."

"The rising data affects our every heartbeat..."

"That day, I remember it very clearly. We sold 1000 mobile phones in two hours..."

"..."

time.

Can change a lot of things.

Five years ago, in order to get a little exposure, Zhang Yang invited many actors and spent a lot of eggs. Sometimes, only a few staff members would squeeze in and applaud together.

Under the camera, they created a lot of false "prosperity" just to show that their products are good and attract much attention.

Five years later……

Cameras, media, and young people who came from afar after hearing the news. Even though there was no proper press conference, even though not many media were notified in advance, and only some rumors were leaked, [Xiaomi Mall] put [Xiaomi A] mobile phone on the shelves, and there was not even a price yet...

but……

Everywhere you look, you see a huge crowd of people scrambling to squeeze into the open space outside. Dozens of security personnel are guarding there as if they are facing a great enemy, but they are still constantly requesting support.

Who would have thought that this was a mobile phone launch conference instead of a concert by a top star?

When seeing this scene, Zhang Yang felt a lot of emotions and was also somewhat moved.

Then, the voice gradually became hoarse.

"terribly sorry……"

"For some reason, I can't bring our [Wheat 4] this time..."

"..."

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

The memory seemed to have gone back to five years ago.

Back to the carefree college days, I was in my dormitory, holding my [Xiaomi 1] mobile phone and conducting violent tests, trying hard to clarify and prove some things for this phone.

However, we later found out that the "Capital Nightmare" and all the negative sources were directed and acted by Mr. Zhang himself.

Nothing more than...

An ordinary person who wants to get attention and stand out at all costs.

That’s all…

……

[Douni Live Room] has gathered nearly 2000 million users.

As the 3G era gradually matures and the 4G era slowly approaches, the live broadcast system of [Douni Video] is no longer like it used to be, which requires a delay of several minutes and relies on pre-recording and transmission to make a "fake live broadcast"...

Although the picture is not clear, it can be transmitted in real time.

In front of [Extreme Speed ​​Takeaway], Ding Rong looked at Zhang Yang in a trance.

Mr. Zhang five years ago and Mr. Zhang five years later seem to have changed a lot.

Mr. Zhang began to mature, shedding his former immaturity and no longer doing anything ostentatious. He seemed to have come down from heaven and was walking forward step by step with his feet on the ground.

but……

But when he heard the words "There is no way to bring [Wheat 4]", Ding Rong's heart couldn't help but tremble.

An indescribable and even suffocating emotion surged into his heart, making him feel bitter and unable to control himself.

He knew very well what the entire [Wheat Technology] was going through during this period...

Almost all international supply channels have been "soft blocked".

It can still be sold, but the price you get is nearly 3 times more expensive than ordinary brands...

It is nearly three times more expensive, so you have no cost advantage at all. What’s more important is that all the technology is controlled by big brands, and they control your life and death.

I can praise you to the sky at any time, and I can also trample you under my feet at any time.

……

He silently looked at the [Xiaomi A] mobile phone on the table...

After a moment's hesitation.

He logged onto his live broadcast account on Douni Video and quietly released a preview...

【Wheat A】Review.

but……

After he released the preview video, he found that on [Douniu Video], there were already hundreds of videos promoting [Wheat A] in just a few minutes.

It was all promoted spontaneously by netizens...

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

"There are always many helpless actions in this world."

"The ambition of a young man to wield a sword in the martial arts world will always be full of thorns and bumps..." "But please believe us, no matter what time it is, we will step on those thorns step by step and walk towards the distance..."

"..."

Zhang Yang's throat was hoarse.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been staying up late lately or if I’m just getting too caught up in it.

A gust of wind blew, and for some reason, it seemed that I thought of my entrepreneurial experience in my previous life...

Countless scenes, like a passing show, flashed through his mind again and again.

Countless voices are telling him that this is reality, you have to accept it, you have to fucking accept it!
But, deep in his heart, there was a voice constantly reminding him, screw the reality, screw bowing your head, screw everything!

break in!

smash!

Knock it over!

Cut through the thorns!

……

Following Zhang Yang's voice, the noisy scene seemed to fall into silence.

Then, I don’t know if it was Zhang Yang’s voice that was full of exaggeration, or if more and more people were gradually learning about what [Xiaomi Mobile] had experienced a few months ago…

Calculate interest on users who return orders...

I had to pay to restart the factory of [Wheat 3], and I had to pay a high price to buy spare parts from the high-ranking suppliers, just to deliver the remaining mobile phones...

……

Many people's eyes began to turn red.

then……

Looking at the young man who is always standing in the sunset.

Waves of applause from below rang out like thunder!

Zhang Yang looked at the applause, the expectant figures, the supportive eyes...

five years ago!
He needs to invite a lot of actors to create a small-scale popularity, desperate to let more people see him.

Five years later, he no longer needs any actors!
"In fact, I know that these years, it's not just us..."

"And you..."

"More and more young people are here to support us. They are studying, graduating, working, and looking for houses and cars..."

"In this increasingly competitive era, I know everyone is having a hard time..."

"Many of my friends have worked hard all day, worked overtime all night, and worked hard for a month or several months, but their salary is still less than 2000 yuan..."

"Car, house, betrothal gift..."

"More and more burdens are being placed on the shoulders of many young people who once dreamed of becoming a martial artist. They are bending their backs and are suffocating..."

"The available idle funds have been squeezed to the size of a fist..."

"..."

"【Wheat 3】 is sold at 1999, I have done my best to achieve the best value for money!"

"But according to our market department's survey, we still have many people who can't afford [Wheat 3], or who can afford it but still have to consider it..."

"It's not shameful if you can't afford it. When I first started my business, I didn't even have a decent mobile phone. Looking at color-screen phones that cost thousands of dollars, I could only sigh in despair..."

"..."

Zhang Yang's voice was not too heavy.

But it is always penetrating.

At the scene, many young people were looking at Zhang Yang in a daze.

In the live broadcast room...

More young people felt mixed emotions at the same time.

Current mobile phone brands.

Each of them is introducing how powerful their mobile phones are, using the most basic configuration, adding some inexplicable functions, and selling them for thousands of dollars to make money...

No mobile phone manufacturer has ever been so close to them, stood in their shoes, and said such a thing...

This passage...

It spoke to the depths of the hearts of countless people.

……

“The advancement of science and technology should not be high and mighty!”

"In the age of smart phones, we shouldn't empty our family's savings, grit our teeth to buy a phone, and then eat coarse food..."

"We don't compete, we don't show off, we pursue practicality, we pursue cost-effectiveness."

"【Wheat A】has his own mission!"

“Its mission is simple!”

"That is, to allow more users to use smartphones at a lower cost..."

"We also have the same functions that others have, and we can also play the same games that others can play..."

"..."

"A month ago, we thought about pairing a 500-megapixel camera with our unique intelligent AI camera system to make it as effective as an 800-megapixel camera... as a publicity stunt..."

"A month later, we gave up any hypocrisy and gimmicky publicity, and went straight to 800 million pixels, continuing to use our self-developed intelligent AI photography system..."

"..."

Under everyone's eyes.

Zhang Yang took out the [Xiaomi A] mobile phone!
I started to introduce the functions of this phone...
