Chapter 435 Creating history must be thorough
The mood in the entire venue was extremely high, and it continued to get higher with the small-scale discussions.
Like boiling water, bubbles stirred one after another.
Everyone kept thinking about what Li Yan said before, and the more they thought about it, the more awesome they felt. Then they added the influence factors of "domestic" and Li Yan himself, and turned them into "outrageous".
In fact, Li Yan didn't eat seriously. After a few symbolic bites, the audience was already buzzing.
"Everyone," he said calmly after wiping his mouth and taking a sip of water, "I think the best demonstration is to let everyone try it out for themselves."
Some people's mouths can no longer be closed.
"Because time is limited, only some people can come on stage to experience it. Please invite the guests in the first row to come on stage first. Other friends are welcome to raise their hands to sign up. Your seats will be registered backstage. I will randomly select five groups of people here, totaling fifty A stage experience.”
A forest of arms stood up directly on the ground under the stage.
"Uh...then, just draw the numbers. If the person you draw doesn't want to come up, just continue randomizing."
How can there be any reluctance? Except for media reporters who may have extra thoughts and a very small number of industry insiders who consider themselves neutral, most of the people present today are supporters of Li Yan.
It's just divided into fans and non-fans, fanatics and not fanatics.
Among the young people here, a large part are both electronic product enthusiasts and fans of Li Yan.
As long as there is a layer of patriotic sentiments, they are basically the most enthusiastic group in this conference.
The ratio is quite high.
What is the concept, friends, the urge to explode XP, do you understand?
In short, monkeys are impatient.
Fortunately, Li Yan was somewhat prepared for this, and the first wave of trials was given to the leaders, which was just a way to stabilize the mood of others.
Give an impression of "this is what you try on stage".
Unexpectedly, the leaders listened to a lot of popular science and praise in the audience, and everyone was very excited when they came on stage, especially the serious-looking senior official Zhang.
I don’t know whether it was because the camera was following him and he wanted to show his emphasis on technology, or whether he was really interested in the Jiaolong mobile phone. Senior official Zhang really studied the mobile phone without any pretense.
The big leader took the lead and played with it carefully to see what else others could do.
So interest suppressed everything else. Li Yan, who originally thought he would just go through the motions and go to the next step, was surprised to be surrounded by a group of leaders asking questions.
The sound of the shutter was louder than the sound of Li Yan's typing on the keyboard, and the photographer walking around the edge with the camera was as nimble as a ghost.
The blue butterfly flies through the clouds!
While taking pictures, the photographer got into trouble and walked next to Chief Editor Bu and asked:
"Editor-in-Chief, this is not easy to shoot..."
"What's wrong?"
"Look at this circle of leaders surrounding Li Yan, all smiling and holding their mobile phones..."
Editor-in-chief Bu took a look and fell silent.
Indeed, because the leaders were asking questions and studying their mobile phones, their postures were naturally not upright. On the contrary, Li Yan, standing in the middle, looked exactly like a teacher answering students' questions.
Seeing Editor Bu struggling, Editor Sun on the side burst into laughter.
"This is the feeling I've experienced when I first met him. During the art performance, a group of leaders gathered around Li Yan, who was still a junior high school student at the time, to ask questions. In the past few years, this has still been the case!"
"Then how do you take pictures?"
"You can shoot whatever you want. Li Yan is special. The leaders don't even put on airs. Why should we bother to think about that?"
Chief Editor Bu nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing the leaders becoming more and more enthusiastic in their research, Li Yan felt that he couldn't handle it anymore.
Ren Jiangfeng saw this, so he mentioned it to Senior Official Zhang, which brought up the excitement in the audience. Senior Official Zhang also understood and said with a smile that they would buy one and go home to study it carefully when it is released, giving the stage back to Li Yan......
fans.
Therefore, the press conference that was originally planned to be solved in just over an hour, after Li Yan lectured and demonstrated for forty minutes, was forced to interact for a full hour.
Li Yan felt like she was the sprint class teacher who kept switching to the same class.
As soon as I finished answering this group of people, another group of people came forward with the exact same question and strong curiosity.
Originally, Sun Miao was prepared to go on stage to help Li Yan, but seeing how easily he handled it, she gave up the idea of coming forward.
This kind of response is certainly not a pressure for Li Yan.
But I’m so tired.
His thinking speed is too fast, and his reflexes, concentration, etc. are very powerful, far beyond comparison with others.
But after all, there is only one mouth.
It feels like everyone around me is like an idiot.
The moment the question came out of his mouth, he had already thought of several answers.
But everyone would not wait for one person to finish asking. They would ask several questions at the same time, but Li Yan could hear them all clearly.
The ability is too strong, and it makes you passive. You can't do it even if you don't want to listen.
I even listened to the discussion of several of them, but my brain can really handle it.
Unfortunately, he can only respond through his mouth and cannot directly transmit brain waves, so it feels infinitely close to answering questions for kindergarten children.
Be patient to listen and finish speaking.
Answering later is no different than reading from the script...
In the end, more than 80 people were allowed to take the stage. Li Yan decisively waved his hands continuously to indicate that the press conference had important content, so that he could persuade others to leave.
At the end of April, the weather in Linjiang was already a bit warm.
After this wave, even though the air conditioning was on in the venue, a layer of sweat broke out on Li Yan's forehead.
The entire conference hall felt steaming.
Everyone who has played with the mobile phone seems to be unsatisfied and frantically shares their experience with others.
The sentence Li Yan heard most was "Everything he said is true."
After the atmosphere calmed down, Li Yan finally let all eyes return to him.
What's the matter...everyone's eyes are shining and a little burning?
"Due to time constraints, we are not able to let everyone experience the actual phone today." Li Yan said, "But I believe that friends who have experienced it should also share a lot of feelings. Let me ask everyone, is this phone awesome?"
“Awesome!”
This slogan was so loud that even senior official Zhang was shocked.
Everyone is still a bit sensitive to uniform feedback.
"I still want to emphasize that the phones on stage that you have personally experienced are the same as the ones in my hands. They are all produced on the same production line as the phones that will be released next and that you can buy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the applause and shouting started, and the atmosphere was completely ignited.
"All the craftsmanship and details you can see are the same as the mobile phones you will buy."
Someone in the audience could no longer bear it any longer and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about:
"How much?"
Yes, this is the only question left. The highlights that Li Yan should show have been shown, and the results that should be felt by everyone have also exceeded expectations,
In other words, the fact that "Jiaolong phones are awesome" is no longer something that needs to be emphasized.
The facts are there, everyone knows that Jiaolong mobile phone is amazing, future technology is awesome, and Li Yan is the best in the world.
Now everyone's curiosity has been sufficiently satisfied and impacted, and they have entered the next stage of their journey of looking forward to getting the mobile phone.
This is a mobile phone that symbolizes the glory of domestic production, a mobile phone that can be said to be leading the world, and a mobile phone that leads the future. Now that you have seen the future, why not BUY?
Almost everyone started speculating.
The question of how much it will cost is not only curious to those who want to buy it, but also to people in the industry.
In fact, Huang Zhan often asked Li Yan sideways, but Li Yan never responded directly. He also knew that this kind of question was core, so he didn't ask it again.
But I am very curious!
Research and development is a bottomless pit. Huang Zhan still feels scared when he thinks about the days when he was busy building systems. Money has been burning, and the time spent on piles of manpower is all costs.
I can't see the progress bar, so I don't know how long this money-burning mode will last.
If you want to reduce costs and shorten the development cycle, you need to add people. Adding people will increase costs...
Especially when he finally resorted to stupid methods to solve problems at work, Huang Zhan felt a strong sense of gambling.
It's easy to say if you succeed, but it will be too ugly to die if you fail.
Li Yan has been developing a self-developed system from the beginning. He even optimized his own assembly line. Thinking about it, he feels...
Wait, Huang Zhan suddenly reacted.
It doesn’t seem like it took long for Li Yan to seriously drive a company with more than 500 people.
The time for the entire project has been severely compressed. All kinds of things that would normally take two or three years to do were squeezed into two or three months by him.
Especially in the early stage of system research and development, it is Li Yan himself who can say a thousand words and ten thousand.
As long as he is good enough and can solve the pain points and difficulties on his own, he can minimize the various costs of research and development.
Li Yan did not take even one step of the "stupid method" path that Huang Zhan took.
"Oh no..." Huang Zhan didn't understand why he didn't realize the above fact until he was sitting here today.
"It seems that Li Yan really didn't invest as much money as he thought?" He couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Dong Zhenchang, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "Mr. Huang is suddenly so idealistic? When did making money have anything to do with low cost?"
"Give everyone a chance to guess." After an hour of interaction, Li Yan simply continued the interaction.
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a roar from the audience:
"For 3,000 yuan, let's make a friend!"
Then there was a burst of laughter. Judging from the reaction of a group of young people, they probably thought that this guy was just causing trouble.
Most of the people in the audience guessed between 4,000 and 5,000, obviously setting the reference point on the Pineapple phone.
In other words, the direct target is "high-end products."
Li Yan is very satisfied with this. If everyone thinks that even 3,000 yuan is an impossible low price, then the prerequisites for a surprise are met.
"Four thousand, four thousand, four thousand..."
"I'll buy all eight thousand!"
“It’s no brainer to be under 6,000, so support!”
This is 2010, and a mobile phone worth thousands of dollars is not an ordinary item. However, considering that the people present today are at least small enthusiasts - people who are not that interested in electronic products themselves but can attend the conference, it is okay to buy one. There is no pressure - so it is quite understandable to make such "bold words".
But no one thinks much about the cost-effectiveness issue, which shows that everyone is obsessed with it.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Yan played the card:
Strike while the iron is hot... No, strike while the iron is hot.
"The price is..."
Four numbers instantly appeared on the screen - 1999.
There was a pause for a full second in the audience, everyone was confirming whether the three nines were preceded by a one.
The cheers that Li Yan expected were just a second late.
Then there was a heart-shaking loud noise, and Li Yan was in a trance for a moment.
There was a crowd of people staring and mouthing in front of them, either with expressions of disbelief or ecstasy.
In other words, most of them have the above two expressions at the same time.
This made Li Yan feel very unreal, and the scene was more tense than some carefully arranged movie scenes.
And he is the center of it all, the one who created this moment.
The unprecedented sense of fulfillment filled Li Yan's heart, so much so that he couldn't recover from his own surprise for a while.
Huang Zhan had a lot of expectations for Li Yan's ultra-low price because of his previous thoughts.
But he was also shocked by the price, let alone everyone else.
Dong Zhenchang, who just made fun of Huang Zhan, was completely confused, "Is Li Yan giving money to do business? That's not how he came to do this, right? Will Wei Yili allow him to do this?"
"Remember the consensus we reached, Old Dong?" Huang Zhan's eyes felt a little out of focus, "Don't use common sense... to understand him."
The leaders had no idea about this. Senior official Zhang applauded and asked Zuo Yuming, "Seeing that everyone is so happy, the price seems reasonable?"
"This is not a reasonable question, it is too cheap!" Zuo Yuming laughed, "The traditional mobile phones we use are only one or two thousand each. Although smart phones are also cheap now, but they are like the Jiaolong mobile phone. High-end products cost several thousand..."
Amazing, popular science, emotional, crazy...
There are also mixed flavors.
For example, Lao Lei, who sits on the opposite edge.
In fact, he was not considered an "individual" who was invited to the meeting, but because Li Yan gave an invitation to the Shangjing Science and Technology Circle, he stopped by to take a look.
Not many people from the Beijing science and technology circle came this time, and everyone knew the reason.
Lao Lei himself is no longer engaged in the mobile phone industry, so he is relatively not embarrassed.
The purpose of his trip here was to see what kind of products Li Yan, who finally decided to give up entering the mobile phone industry, could make.
At the beginning, Lao Lei could calmly accept everything Li Yan presented.
I even regretted quitting because Li Yan had many of the same ideas as him in terms of hardware, appearance and even configuration.
"Although Li Yan pursues details and texture..."
He thinks so.
It wasn't until Li Yan finished talking about the system and software that Lao Lei began to feel that he had made a wise decision.
But at this time, he still had a line of defense in his heart:
My idea of making mobile phones is different from yours. You pursue high-end and high-end products, while I pursue making products that can reach the homes of ordinary people and achieve the ultimate cost-effectiveness.
Then Li Yan offered the price of 1999.
Incredible.
This was the ideal price in Lao Lei's imagination, but today it appeared on the Jiaolong mobile phone that he considered to be high-end.
When facing such people, you should choose to be friends instead of opponents.
Lao Lei's trip was not in vain. He completely let himself say goodbye to the mobile phone dream he had been struggling with for a year, so that he could concentrate on continuing to work hard in other fields.
The quality of a mobile phone is enough to make history, and even its price is history-making.
Walking into the homes of ordinary people with an extremely noble attitude is something that no one dares to imagine.
As for Li Yan on the stage, she had originally prepared a closing speech to once again elaborate on the "future lifestyle with future mobile phones", but no one wanted to hear this anymore.
An enthusiastic fan ignored the order of the venue, rushed to the stage in three steps, grabbed the microphone on the podium, and asked in an extremely excited tone: "Quick, louder, tell us the release time!"
< br>
Before he was consciously taken back by security, Li Yan told the answer:
"Give me some time to stock up. See you on May 20th."
Li Yan felt that the ceiling of the venue had been blown over.
