Chapter 404 Knocking on the Door to European and American Markets
“It only takes 10 minutes and 21 seconds to fully charge a 10,000 mAh super lithium battery. Mr. Chen did not exaggerate at all. This is a bit It’s terrible!”
After Lin Xiaolong showed the collection certificate, he kept staring at the battery of the brilliant X2.
After his four-hour test, the user received the brilliant X2 exactly the same as the brilliant X2 released by Chen Xing.
AB machine deceives people?
Data spoofing?
It doesn’t exist at all!
"Mr. Chen is so honest. He is simply an honest man. He doesn't exaggerate at all. I feel like I should learn from Mr. Lei."
"I vaguely remember Mr. Lei, that old man. , saying that the thickness of the self-developed notebook is thinner than a one-yuan coin, but I didn’t expect it to stand up!”
“I was at the scene, and I asked the rice noodles next to me if I was using anything! Compression black technology, or cloud technology, I didn’t expect him to stand up a one-yuan coin, it’s the sixth one!”
"Rebus: Are you OK?"
"Compared with his friends and businessmen, Mr. Chen really looks like an honest industrialist."
All data are not false, Pou Ke and Li Zai Their anxious hearts finally died, and they could only accept the fact that the brilliant X2 was far ahead and unable to catch up.
In the past, Dragon Kingdom manufacturers were chasing after them. They not only had to conquer semiconductor chips, information communications, OLED screens, camera lens modules, operating systems...
Now the tide has turned, and Apple, The Korean Star Group chased after him.
The chip is a 7nm, Huaxia chip using the most advanced double stacking technology.
Want to conquer stacking technology?
Sorry, it’s not that simple.
Stacking technology not only requires redesigning the transistor structure, but also overcoming chip heat dissipation issues. Longxing Group has built its own high wall invisibly.
Just like the airtight patented technology of fuel vehicles that can be stacked dozens of meters thick, Longxing Group also has its own patent barriers.
Even if they conquer the chip stacking technology, there are still 5G high-speed networks and camera lens modules waiting for them to conquer.
Taking a step back, even if chip stacking technology, 5G high-speed network and camera lens modules are all conquered, Apple and Korean Star Group can make progress, but Longxing Group cannot?
Who dares to say that when competitors conquer existing technologies, Longxing Group will not be able to produce 6G networks or 5-nanometer stacked chips?
“Alas!”
The hotel’s pants sighed.
Even Li Zaiyong sighed in unison. This time, the two of them have seen what the rise of a great power means.
Although they were badly beaten, neither of them turned off the live broadcast. They were still waiting for the brilliant X2 to unfold the internal screen and switch to tablet mode for evaluation.
Just as they wished, after Lin Xiaolong measured the data on the mobile phone, he placed his left thumb on the right side of the phone and said: "We have finished testing the mobile phone, it's time to test our tablet."
The words fell.
He used his thumbs hard to open the inner screen.
As the built-in screen unfolds, the original 1.3CM body thickness is evened out and becomes a 0.65CM thick tablet.
After unfolding the inner screen, Lin Xiaolong looked at the 15.64-inch tablet and couldn't help but sigh: "It's perfect. Not only is the body very thin and full of fashion, but with this folding screen, you can It’s all about whether it’s big or not.”
Just after he finished speaking, he added: “Imagine you are lying in bed and want to watch a movie. The bigger the OLED screen, the better. This phone is really good. Can meet any of your needs.”
Viewing the evaluation at such a close distance, the viewers in the live broadcast room are not fools and have their own judgment ability.
“Wonderful, so wonderful!”
“The moment the OLED screen unfolded, I felt that the quality of this phone was truly revealed, and it suited my identity.”
“Originally I wanted to wait, but now I plan to take action rather than take action!”
“Four words, far ahead!”
Mobile phones with folding screen design, let alone users I have never seen such a genius idea before, nor have manufacturers.
Flexible OLED screens used to be "fake goods" that could not be put on the market because the color and saturation were not as good as ordinary OLED screens. But after Chen Xing's involution, manufacturers' ideas suddenly changed. It opened.
Especially Lee Jae-yong, who is still watching the live broadcast, has already planned to return to the peninsula and start supervising the OLED screen R&D department to produce an M-series quality flexible OLED screen within three months for the new flagship folding screen.
As for the trousers, he has already put them on.
Apple’s OLED screens are provided by Korean Star Group. If Korean Star Group had not conquered the flexible OLED screen, it would not have been able to create a folding screen mobile phone.
While Pou Ke and Lee Jae-yong were thinking a lot, Lin Xiaolong seemed to have discovered a new world. He clicked on the tablet's application and said: "Although there are few software applications that are adapted to the Tianxuan operating system, it now actually supports Penguin Family Bucket.”
The built-in Penguin Video, Penguin Music, and Penguin QQ are all explaining to users that Penguin Company has long known that Longxing Group is planning to develop PC-side software applications. This detail is very critical.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Xiaolong discovered a novelty and said: "TikTok? What is this?"
When in mobile phone mode, he also saw After using this software application, I didn’t expect it to switch to tablet mode.
I saw him double-click the application and open the Douyin short video.
Next second.
The "dynamic" video of a busty beauty wearing a bikini, dancing in front of the camera to dynamic music, made Lin Xiaolong stunned and even swallowed subconsciously.
The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect that there would be a lightning strike at the opening.
"Pornographic software?"
"This...this, this,this...is bigger than my head."
"What type of software is this? It looks like a video It only lasts for ten seconds, and it keeps playing. My brother can’t stand it.”
“I’m going to the toilet, brothers.”
“This beauty looks so familiar, she seems to be a Malaysian girl who plays YouTube. Internet celebrities, they focus on openness, the size is bigger, and the waves are a little bit normal.”
“The size is normal, I feel like it’s going to blow my mind.”
No one. Thinking that the opening of a small Douyin short video was a critical attack, Lin Xiaolong coughed twice and proved his innocence and said: "This is not an application I downloaded, it comes with the phone. You have to prove my innocence for me."
While speaking, he looked at the next video with curiosity. He thought this type of software was quite interesting. Not only was the video short, it contained a lot of information and the key content was exciting.
In traditional perception, the length of a video can easily exceed ten minutes.
Take the videos produced by the up owners of Xiaopozhan as an example. The length of each of their videos will be controlled to be more than ten minutes, and some even reach half an hour, which is equivalent to watching half a movie.
It takes such a long time to watch, and all that is consumed is the user’s free time.
But Douyin short videos are different. They are more than ten seconds long and directly condense the most essential part, which can completely make use of the fragmented time in daily life.
For example, a few minutes in the pit.
Constipation is not excluded, but most people can get it done within a few minutes.
What can you do with a few minutes?
Reading novels?
Watching a movie?
Playing games?
Neither is the optimal solution.
Because this all requires time, at least half an hour or more is suitable for these recreational activities.
So in a few minutes, within a limited time, most people will choose to read QQ, WeChat or Weibo, just browse the information and it will be over. Douyin grabs this part of the time.
As Lin Xiaolong followed the prompts and swiped the screen upwards, the next video was of landscape type and was the work of He Pan, a famous photographer from the Dragon Kingdom. The shooting location was Erhai Lake in southern Yunnan.
The water of the lake is crystal clear, with rippling blue waves. Under the sunlight, the lake surface sparkles with golden light, like thousands of diamonds scattered in it.
The video was shot in slow motion with the passenger seat of the car as the shooting point.
Under the camera, you can not only see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, but also the rolling Cangshan Mountains in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist.
The Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting. The willow trees by the lake are also gently swaying, as if they are telling ancient stories to every tourist.
Lin Xiaolong was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery paired with light music. The video only took 15 seconds to present the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain before his eyes.
He can feel the tranquility and harmony of nature through the screen, as if he is isolated from the world, forgetting the noise and troubles of the world.
What's the next video?
Lin Xiaolong was very curious.
He had forgotten that he was still live broadcasting.
Due to the loop playback three times, Douyin’s built-in algorithm has automatically identified user preferences, and used the big data support provided by Chen Xing to find videos with corresponding tags in the content library and display them in front of Lin Xiaolong.
As he slid upward again, what came into view was Kanas in the territory.
(Nothing can stop you)
(Your yearning for freedom)
(An unrestrained life)
(Your heart is free from worries)
The vicissitudes of Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus" voice, combined with the slowly rising drone footage, showed the sapphire-like Kanas Lake in front of everyone's eyes.
Shocking.
Beauty and music.
An emperor-level enjoyment that has never been tried before!
Lin Xiaolong continued to scroll up, and this time Douyin pushed him a video of a beautiful woman.
Lin Xiaolong simply watched it for seven or eight seconds and then switched to the next video.
Douyin did not continue to push scenery, but changed to other types of videos, such as handsome abs, fitness guides and other content to continue to confirm users’ preferences.
After pushing ten short videos in a row, Lin Xiaolong's taste has been identified, and he prefers to love traveling and beauties.
For subsequent videos, the priority of pushing landscape videos has become higher, almost one in every two, not including domestic scenery and foreign scenery.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the fascinated Lin Xiaolong and sent barrage reminders all the time.
“Brother Long, hey, Brother Long, wake up, you are still live broadcasting!”
"What is Douyin short video? Why am I fascinated by it? The music matches the scenery. Do you want to kill me, my friend?"
"Resign! I really want to resign!"
< br>“When I first sang “Blue Lotus”, I’m still in 318. I won’t tell you who will fall in love with whom in this class. I’m going to Tibet to look for poetry and distant places!”
"It's such an interesting software. I'll download it and have a look."
Maybe Lin Xiaolong never thought about it. He kept browsing the short videos. Half an hour passed quietly, and he was completely absorbed. .
When he put down his mobile phone, he was surprised and said: "No, what's going on? Why is it almost five o'clock in the evening? Who accelerated my time?"
It's okay that he didn't speak. When he opened his mouth, tens of thousands of barrages quickly appeared.
“You’ve been watching the video for more than half an hour, Brother Long. You’re not really into it, are you?”
“Is this short video so magical?”
< br>"Brother, please watch another video. I beg you. I don’t want to watch the next video. I feel like there are ants crawling all over my body. Please, watch another video."
Lin Xiaolong: "..."
Looking at the barrage content in the live broadcast room, he was completely silent.
I am clearly reviewing mobile phones, but half an hour of my time was inexplicably stolen by an app. Who can I ask to explain this?
The most important thing now is that he wants to continue watching videos.
Just like what the audience in the live broadcast room said, he seems to have mastered Douyin again, but now that he stops, he feels like there are ants crawling on him. He feels uncomfortable all over and his soul is about to be taken away.
However, what Lin Xiaolong didn’t know was that his live broadcast directly brought hundreds of thousands of traffic to Douyin short videos.
……
And on the other side.
The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
Bytedance Headquarters Building.
Zhang Ming did not expect that with the arrival of the four new flagships of Longxing Group, the number of user registrations for his own software would surge exponentially.
“How many people have registered now?”
He asked.
The employee responsible for data control immediately pulled up the data and replied excitedly: "The number of users has officially exceeded 1 million!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Mingsha Clenching his fists, he said excitedly: "One million users will continue to spend money to carry high-quality video content on YouTube. The department responsible for connecting with bloggers will increase efforts to poach people and let them come to Douyin to create."
"Understood!"
The employee responsible for docking responded quickly. Since receiving Chen Xing's investment, Zhang Ming has been enriching the video content of Douyin's content library.
Because there are few bloggers, he contacted the creators of YouTube and directly spent money to obtain the authorization of the video and fill it into the content library.
There are also other well-known domestic bloggers, as well as related up owners, who make people pay huge sums of money to join the platform regardless of the cost.
The current Douyin is not the Douyin platform he expected.
In his original description with Chen Xing, Douyin is a profit model in which thousands of creators spontaneously create high-quality videos and attract advertisers to invest.
In order to realize this idea, Zhang Ming also created a star map platform that allows advertisers to select high-quality Douyin bloggers.
But now, most of the videos are actually made by Douyin itself, and the creators have not yet settled in on a large scale.
In addition to the domestic version, Douyin also has a foreign version called TikTok, which is also built into the motherboard chip of Longxing Group’s new flagship, and the video content is also processed by ByteDance’s optimization department.
When Zhang Ming was still dreaming about his strategic blueprint, far away in the Bilibili headquarters building in Shanghai, marketing manager Fang Sizhe was keenly aware of the changes in hot searches and was the first to learn about "Douyin short video" The advent of.
Since he is using the Cuican X1, he easily found Douyin in the built-in app store and completed the download.
With a scrutinizing attitude, he clicked on the Douyin short video.
A video.
Five videos.
Ten videos.
Can’t stop at all!
After ten videos, his tastes were basically figured out, and the videos he pushed were all content that echoed his tastes.
Unconsciously, it was time to get off work at six o'clock. Other colleagues passed by the door of his office and left with a smile. Only then did he realize that he had been browsing for almost an hour without knowing it.
“It’s over!”
“Our competing product has appeared!”
Fang Sizhe commented.
Currently, the leader among Longguo’s video content platforms is Bilibili.
The model in which creators create videos and obtain income based on the number of views cannot be imitated by other niche platforms. It is not too much to say that one company is the only one.
But as Fang Sizhe browsed Douyin's creative plan, he realized how ruthless his opponent was. Ten views were only one dollar, and if one million views were played, wouldn't it be one hundred thousand?
This level of money burning is unprecedented!
Fang Sizhe did not hesitate for a moment and chose to take the elevator and go to his boss Chen Rui to report the situation.
When he came to the elevator room and pressed the elevator floor button, an elevator happened to come down and the elevator door opened on his floor.
"Mr. Chen?"
Fang Sizhe was a little surprised when the elevator door opened.
Chen Rui glanced at him, exchanged a few words with the foreign client beside him, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
"I have something to discuss with you about work... ..." Fang Sizhe was interrupted by Chen Rui in the middle of his words: "Send your work matters to my email."
While speaking, he glanced at the foreign man next to him and signaled that he would accompany the client if he had anything to do. Contact him via email.
For Fang Sizhe to be able to get into this position, he is certainly not a fool. He quickly responded: "Then I will send you an email later."
"Go."
Chen Rui waved his hand.
When the elevator door closed again, Fang Sizhe returned to his work station.
He didn't have to work overtime, but he brought up Bilibili and injected his emotions into it, so he chose to work overtime voluntarily to complete this "crisis warning" email.
The emergence of Douyin short videos will definitely have an impact on Bilibili. The profit methods of creators of the two are the same, and he found that the content of the former is more concentrated and more refined.
To be honest, he can’t stand the current content on Bilibili.
Either "Don't Laugh Challenge" or anime complaints, there are very few high-quality short videos about scenery, beauties, and handsome guys. They are all mainly about recording life.
……
At nightfall.
“Ah~”
Fang Sizhe stretched his waist.
After two hours of writing, he had listed the future development of Douyin and the possible threats to his family, and then clicked to send the email.
Chen Rui, who was still accompanying the foreign client and had a few glasses of wine, had already forgotten about him.
“Ding——”
The mobile phone placed on the desktop rang. Chen Rui picked up the mobile phone on the desktop and saw that it was an email from Fang Sizhe. He didn’t pay much attention to it and planned to go home. Deal with it again.
Little did he know that his move would directly cause Bilibili to fall into a passive situation in the future and be pushed to the ground and beaten by his opponent.
At the same time.
Berlin, Germany, on the other side.
With the arrival of daytime, on the discount global shopping platform, users who placed orders for the four flagship models of Longxing Group also received calls one after another, claiming to have their express packages.
As a multinational group, Chen Xing has established Longxing new flagship assembly centers in Africa, Europe, and America.
This can not only drive local employment, win the favor of high-level officials of relevant countries, and enjoy relevant tax policies, but also adjust assembly production capacity in real time according to sales volume.
If it is assembled in Dragon Country and then transported to other countries, the transportation cost will be too high, and the tariff on the whole machine will be higher.
So Chen Xing made the decision to set up assembly centers in Africa, America, Oceania, and Europe, and then the assembly centers would assemble and ship them uniformly. As for Asia, Longguo is the best assembly center.
Many Germans never expected that their mobile phones would be delivered less than a day after they placed the order?
Incredible!
It’s incredible!
You must know that even in the United States, which is the dominant power, its express company cannot deliver goods to users within one day. It takes three days to start, which is daily.
It’s not just express delivery, it’s also true for takeout. You won’t be able to eat it within an hour.
However, what these German users don’t know is that Chen Xing’s cooperation with Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi is not just to find a partner, but to make use of their e-commerce resources.
Before the advent of the Discount global shopping platform, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi invested a lot of manpower and material resources to lay out the express delivery industry chain around the world.
Nowadays, delivery workers in Germany are basically people with high salaries earning tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course.
This is not just Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi throwing away money.
But they calculated it based on Germany’s income situation and labor concepts.
What is the concept of labor?
To put it bluntly.
It’s still so much money!
It’s like a daily salary of 100 yuan. You can’t wait to get it as much as you can, but you won’t be able to give your boss a second of your time.
What about 500 yuan?
Why don't you come here or leave?
If it doesn't work, just give me 1,000 yuan. Can you treat the company as your own?
Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi used this money-making ability to make some German people who were short of money work. This was also the initial investment cost of the discount global shopping platform.
When Wangdong Platform started a logistics company, countless colleagues laughed at Liu Dongzi for being stupid. He ignored the ready-made express companies and insisted on investing tens of billions of them himself. It was because he had too much money and no place to spend it.
But what’s the result?
It is precisely because of this logistics company that the Wangdong platform has been created.
Because Liu Dongzi and Jack Ma have experience, Chen Xing will not interfere too much in the operation of the discount global shopping platform. He only needs to look at the income and final results.
As more and more German users receive the Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1, and Cuican X2 flagship phones, they also begin to spontaneously evaluate them.
Like Lin Xiaolong, they all evaluated the points promoted by Chen Xing.
Standby battery life, stacked chips, shooting pixels, and flexible OLED screens, under the extremely rigorous evaluation of German users, the entry "Longxing Group flagship mobile phone actual test" also appeared on Twitter's hot search list in Germany. .
Originally, the operators of Bailey Group and Linghang Group wanted to reduce the popularity, but looking at the number of views on spontaneous searches, they gave up.
With over a million views, this is already well known in a country with a population of 80 million. If they press the hot search, they are likely to be found to be controlling the people's right to know.
Because of S1 and S2, coupled with the original small black business, people in Western countries value freedom as much as life.
Even if Baile Group and Linghang Group wanted to engage in the Longxing Group, they could only do it secretly and did not dare to do it openly.
As more and more German people saw the popularity of Longxing Group’s mobile phones, they eventually put their time on the international version of TikTok.
Since TikTok is an international version, it allows network access from any country.
Coupled with Zhang Ming's ability, the international version's explosive content is far from being comparable to the domestic version. The domestic version is in front of the former, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a children's channel.
In just three days, the number of TikTok users in Germany exceeded five million.
Not only in Germany, the wave of short videos has begun to spread around the world. Many YouTube creators and anchors are posting content on it, and the number of users has increased exponentially.
In North America, at a certain gap in the US border wall, two groups of people were trading.
“Have you brought anything?”
"Bring it."
"How much?"
"One million dollars."
"One million dollars, are you crazy?"
" Do you like it? This is hard currency now. I got it from Germany and France."
"Okay, let's inspect the goods first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired man said. After a glance, the man behind him immediately threw several oversized retro backpacks to the ground.
The man who inspected the goods squatted down and opened the zipper neatly. What was inside was not powdery or crystalline stuff, but a plastic-sealed mobile phone box with the word "Brilliant X2" written on it.
“Tear and pull——”
The inspection man took out a knife, cut open the box of a mobile phone, took out the mobile phone inside and turned it on for trial use.
Immediately afterwards, he randomly checked the mobile phones in several other backpacks. After confirming that there was no problem, he motioned to lift the boxes up.
The curly-haired white man opened the box, and inside were stacks of U.S. dollar bills.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The two waves of people drove away.
The party who got the goods was in a good mood. The red-haired woman sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck was a little puzzled and asked: "Boss, what are you doing with so many mobile phones? These are worth more than fans?"
The man who was driving the car looked ahead and responded with a smile: "There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that things are rare and valuable. Do you know how much a mobile phone like this can be fetched by the rich and powerful?"
< br>He picked up the disassembled brilliant X2, drove it with one hand and asked questions.
“How much?”
The red-haired woman was puzzled.
"5,000 US dollars." The man in the driver's seat did not hide anything and continued: "2,000 US dollars was smuggled from Mexico and suddenly transformed into 5,000 US dollars. What kind of flour is this?"
"What is the most important thing?" He said He paused for half a second, showed his big white teeth and said: "This thing will be fine even if it is found. It is mainly for safety."
Due to restrictions set by the United States, Longxing Group's products cannot be exported to the United States, so the four flagship models are naturally Not logged into the US market.
But as the reputation of the Brilliant X2 exploded around the world, more and more wealthy Americans needed it to show their identity and gain a sense of superiority. This is where smuggling emerged.
There are also people who are responsible for cracking the phone so that it can be used normally in the United States, forming a complete underground industry chain.
