Chapter 193 I have arrived! Why can't we have Rebus in Daxia? (6K)
(It has been modified and is now available for viewing. Sorry.)
at this time.
A mobile forum called ‘Saipan Forum’ is almost among the top forums in terms of traffic in the mobile digital field.
At this moment, thousands of people are having various discussions.
Although most of their forums are software and applications, they are still based on various application channels of Nokia Symbian system.
But after the rise of new gadgets like ‘smartphones’, discussions about IOS or Android software or smartphones have become more and more intense in this forum.
And the sudden rise of the 'OS system' has been the focus of their discussion in the past two months.
“I don’t know, how is the performance of a real machine equipped with the ‘OS system’? Can it be as smooth as the demo video?”
"It should be better, right? After all, the configuration of the phone in the demonstration video is not high, it seems to be Meizu's M8"
"Is it really that powerful? The demonstration video is amazing, isn't it a 'fake'?"
“I also had this doubt, so I didn’t queue up to buy”
In the forum, thousands of people are discussing the ‘OS smartphone’ that will be launched soon.
This famous smartphone system has been making waves on the Internet throughout Daxia for a long time. It has even been spread all the way to the Internet, attracting a lot of attention.
From the beginning at the end of June, it was just a simple demonstration video leaked from unknown sources. It showed a modified Meizu M8 mobile phone.
But just using the Meizu M8 smartphone, after it is equipped with the OS system, judging from the video demonstration screen, its smoothness and various humanized designs have simply had a dimensionality reduction impact on the entire mobile phone system field.
Whether it is Apple's IOS or Google's Android system, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of it.
As for the Symbian system? That's not a competition at the same level at all.
At this time, dozens more posts were posted.
“Watch the live broadcast, Rebus’ live broadcast is about to start”
"By the way, is Lei Jun's career change a bit serious? Is he jumping directly from the Internet industry to the mobile phone equipment field?"
"Otherwise, why would I call him Rebus? I hope his 'Xiaomi phone' can give me some hope. After all, it is the first 'OS system' smartphone to be released."
This first model equipped with the ‘os’ system is not from a traditional mobile phone manufacturer in Daxia, let alone a product of major telecom operators, but from ‘Lei Jun’, who has always been known as the godfather of Internet investment in Daxia.
Moreover, he will also start the live broadcast of Xiaomi Mi 1 mobile phone launch conference tonight.
This is really beyond the expectation of many people. Meizu, Gionee, and Bird did not take the lead in releasing products equipped with the 'OS system', but the Xiaomi mobile phone created by 'Lei Jun' only a few months ago became popular in such a short period of time. Get the real finished product out?
Looking at these discussion posts, one person angrily said: "Damn, if I can buy a mobile phone, he will be Rebus, if I can't buy it, he will be the Thunder Monkey King!"
Below this post, there was a reply immediately: "Monkey King? Why do you say that?"
"I'm so looking forward to it, but I still can't buy it, so isn't he just 'playing monkey'?" the poster said angrily.
He queued all night on the streets of Yanjing, which had already cooled down at the end of September. If he couldn't get a mobile phone tomorrow, he would become a "monkey"!
As the head of Xiaomi, isn’t Lei Jun the Monkey King?
but.
Whether or not they can snap up a mobile phone is not something many people consider.
What they are more concerned about now is whether this Xiaomi mobile phone equipped with the 'OS' system can be as powerful as the legend says.
And what will its price be?
Is Daxia a brand new starting point in the field of smartphones, or will it fall behind?
Then we have to see whether this mobile live broadcast is a success or a failure.
at the same time.
Zhang Wei, who is far away in Sichuan, is holding his wife Weiwei in his arms, and they are huddled in front of the computer desk and waiting quietly.
After all, this live broadcast is only held on Xiaomi’s official website, and the two of them can only watch it in this way.
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
"Nine o'clock comes so slowly?" Zhang Wei chewed melon seeds and stared at the countdown on the screen.
He is currently preparing to buy a smartphone, and his first favorite target is undoubtedly the 'Xiaomi 1' that will be released soon and equipped with an OS system.
He had no choice before, so he could only buy mobile phones from foreign brands such as Nokia or Motorola.
Nowadays, when there are domestically produced smartphones in Daxia and their performance is not bad, then Zhang Wei will definitely choose domestically produced phones without hesitation.
Weiwei peeled a grape and looked at Zhang Wei next to her: "Is this phone expensive?"
"Can you afford the bonus?"
This ‘Xiaomi 1’ demonstrates its unique features in every aspect.
Weiwei had never seen such a battle. How could a mobile phone hold such a grand press conference?
Various discussions on the Internet are claiming how good this machine is, so isn’t its price sky-high?
You know, the price of Apple 3GS in Daxia is close to more than 5,000 yuan, while other smartphones generally cost more than 3,000 or even more than 4,000 yuan.
Zhang Wei's bonus is only more than 2,000 yuan in total. Can he afford this?
"Don't be afraid, even if it's a little expensive, it's okay!" Zhang Wei said calmly: "The immortal has his own clever plan."
Hear the words.
"Is it okay if it's more expensive? Do you have money besides bonuses?" Weiwei glared at him and patted him angrily: "Are you hiding private money behind my back?"
"It's like you don't have any private money." Zhang Wei twitched his lips, shook his head and explained: "Besides, after I stop smoking, I won't be able to save all the money for cigarettes."
In fact, his private money is only a few hundred yuan. After all, there is a child at home. Even if he wants to save private money, he can't save too much.
It's all a sum of money saved from my usual pocket money.
"I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Weiwei didn't care too much. She leaned on Zhang Wei's shoulder and continued to wait quietly for the countdown to end.
Between husband and wife, hiding private money is a kind of fun.
Zhang Wei didn't save it to do any bad things. At most, he used the money to buy fishing gear. There was no need for her to get to the bottom of it and worry too much.
At this time.
The countdown on the screen showed only the last five minutes left.
Yanjing, has been temporarily rented backstage at the Art Center.
Lei Jun, nicknamed 'Rebus' by netizens, had a solemn expression on his face.
"Mr. Lei, you will be on stage in five minutes."
"Okay." Rebus nodded seriously and adjusted his clothes.
Finally, read through the speech in hand carefully, and quickly memorize the specific process required for the entire press conference, trying not to make any mistakes.
Look at him like this.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him said jokingly: "Mr. Lei, isn't it just a press conference?"
"When you led a few of us to start Xiaomi, I never saw you so nervous."
He is the general manager of Xiaomi and previously served as senior engineering director at Microsoft.
"That's what you said." Lei Jun continued to take a sip of water and made final preparations: "If 'Xiaomi 1' fails, I will not be able to live with it."
If this burnt-out entrepreneurial venture fails, he will have to take the billions gained from selling Kingsoft shares and spend the rest of his life doing nothing, watching the cold numbers lying in his bank card.
Founding a "smartphone company" is actually something Lei Jun has always wanted to do, but he has always struggled with not having the right time, let alone the right person.
Therefore, after attending the 'OS system' conference held by Fan Chaoxian a few months ago, Lei Jun was the first person who couldn't wait to join the 'Daxia Mobile Alliance', and then spent a large amount of money to create The 'Xiaomi' mobile phone company.
Being able to complete the sale of mobile phones in just a few months was entirely possible because of the money he spent along the way.
He is very optimistic about this project, not only because of the power of the ‘OS system’ and the top-level integration solution officially provided by Daxia, but more importantly, Lei Jun is even more optimistic about the development of Daxia’s future smartphones.
With a population of more than one billion, and both GDP and residents’ income are increasing rapidly, how big will the smartphone market be in the future?
Even if we don’t talk about foreign markets, how many mobile phone giants can we support in China alone? This is also the reason why he was able to finally make up his mind.
It’s just that if ‘Xiaomi 1’ fails, it will fail to live up to the ‘OS system’ and full set of integration solutions brought by Xia Ke Academy, and it will also fail to live up to the expectations of the entire Daxia.
Even if it is Lei Jun, he has experienced the ups and downs of the shopping mall for more than 20 years, and at this moment, he still can't help but feel nervous.
Minutes flew by in the blink of an eye.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the Xiaomi 1 mobile phone launch conference was officially held.
Lei Jun, still dressed as a man in science and engineering, walked onto the stage with a reserved and shy smile.
There was not much foreshadowing, and no greetings to the audience.
"I know that the audience has been waiting for so long. What do you want to see?" Lei Jun smiled and took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket: "Then I won't be too pretentious and will give you some useful information!"
"This one in my hand is the Xiaomi Mi 1 smartphone equipped with the 'OS' system."
moment.
The eyes of the whole audience. The camera footage was all focused on the mobile phone in Lei Jun's hand.
Under the illumination of the light, it seemed to be emitting a dazzling light at the moment, which was unusually eye-catching.
What's even more surprising is not its aesthetic appearance, but its exaggerated screen.
Off the court, all the audience gasped: "Why is the screen of this phone so big?"
"How much bigger is this than the 3GS? Is it already more than four inches?"
Compared with current smartphones, which are usually 3.5 inches, the screen of the Xiaomi Mi 1 is almost a lot larger. In terms of length, width, etc., it is "far ahead" of its peers.
Just the terrifyingly high screen-to-body ratio is impressive at first glance and stands out among many smartphones.
Facing everyone's warm gaze.
"Its screen is 4.7 inches!" Lei Jun held the mobile phone and placed it under the camera screen: "Of course, a big screen doesn't mean anything. The TV screen is bigger." "However, our 'Xiaomi 1' equipped with OS system 'With a brand new feature, this feature will lead the development of the entire mobile phone era."
"A completely new way of using it, it will redefine what the word 'smartphone' is."
Lei Jun's tone was simply astonishing.
However, this made many people even more curious.
Especially in professional forums such as the 'Saipan Forum' and '3G Digital Forum', these people felt even more confused after hearing these "wild words".
"How dare you say that? Just redefine what a 'smartphone' is?"
"Just relying on a 'fluent' OS system is still far from the meaning of this sentence, right?"
“It’s true that a big screen is nothing, but smoothness is just a basic function.”
Want to redefine ‘smartphone’? Do you really think you are Rebus?
Although the smoothness of the OS crushes Apple systems and Google, and even the compatibility of its own applications in all aspects is completely higher, but that is only in the demonstration animation, and it is still unknown how it will actually be applied.
Even if it is completely consistent, it only proves that the 'OS system' is a better mobile phone smart system.
But this doesn't mean that it can lead to the development of "smartphones". Isn't he kidding?
Lei Jun naturally noticed the confusion on the faces of the audience in front, and even vaguely guessed what they wanted to say.
He smiled directly, picked up his phone, and slowly said to the camera in front of him: "Everyone, are you ready to welcome the new smart era?"
He didn't explain anything, the picture in front of him was the best answer!
I saw that his mobile phone was lightly pressed on the HOME button in the middle.
When everyone thought that this was about to enter the ‘slide to unlock interface’, they found that the ‘Xiaomi 1’ entered the home page with just one click.
There is no so-called "slide to unlock" at all, and there is no need to type in any unlock shortcut keys.
"This phone?? Just press the HOME button to unlock it?"
"It does seem more convenient than sliding to unlock. But what does this have to do with ushering in a new era of intelligence?"
"Isn't it just a new unlocking method? My Nokia can also be unlocked by pressing the * key. There seems to be no difference?"
"No. It's definitely not that simple. Is it more than just an unlocking method?"
Looking at the audience in front of him, he knew in his heart what these people wanted to say.
Lei Jun still wore his iconic implicit smile, and then explained: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I will demonstrate it to you again."
"It is not as simple as just pressing the HOME button to unlock it, but a unique security verification method."
He picked up his phone and turned on the screen again.
However, this time his movements were slower, allowing everyone to observe more carefully.
All that is visible in the middle is a row of numeric dial keys, and there is a textured symbol similar to a fingerprint below.
"Xiaomi 1 can use two unlocking methods, namely regular password unlocking."
He entered six 1s and went directly to the main page: "Secondly, the most important thing is a new concept of unlocking."
“The world’s first mobile phone equipped with fingerprint unlocking!”
Lei Jun pressed the HOME button in the middle, and then the screen prompted 'Fingerprint verification successful! ’
He repeated the demonstration many times, and it didn't even take a second to unlock each time. With a single tap, the fingerprint verification was successful.
For a moment, the whole audience burst into shouts, ‘Awesome! ’ ‘Fuck! ’ and so on, and the praises are endless.
Many spectators began to whisper among themselves.
"Fingerprint unlocking? This is a novel unlocking method."
"In terms of security alone, it is much better than the slide unlocks of Apple and Samsung."
"Indeed, everyone's fingerprint is different, as long as its accuracy is high enough. Strictly speaking, there is no second person in the world who can crack this password."
"The sliding unlock can only prevent accidental touches, but the fingerprint unlock can really guarantee the concept of 'security'. Unless the thief steals it with my finger."
“But is this enough to redefine ‘smartphone’? Isn’t it just a fingerprint unlock?”
This alone makes this 'Xiaomi 1' a novel mobile phone at best, but it is far from being 'redefined'.
After all, it’s just fingerprint unlocking. The world’s first fingerprint unlocked mobile phone came from the Siemens SL1088 of the last century, and it’s been ten years.
This is nothing new.
At this time.
Lei Jun held this exquisite mobile phone in his hand and also said this: "I know you are thinking, can a 'fingerprint unlock' redefine smartphones?"
"However, this 'OS' system has another function that you must have never seen in the demonstration video."
"Because it is equipped with 1G of RAM running memory and is equipped with the latest 45nm OS5 chip, with greatly improved performance, the OS system has ushered in a new evolution, and it has an unprecedented function."
In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, Lei Jun long pressed the HOME button and said something that affected the entire smartphone.
"Classmate Xiaoai, please help me set the alarm clock for nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"And write on the memo to buy Xiaomi Mi 1 phone immediately!"
I only saw a slightly robotic female voice coming from the screen: "Classmate Xiao Ai, I have set an alarm clock and memo for you at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
When everything was finished, the whole place was silent.
"This is the world's first mobile phone equipped with an intelligent voice assistant, which can help you with all chores."
"This is the smartphone of the future." Lei Jun shouted these words solemnly.
moment.
Both the audience at the scene and those sitting in front of the screen looked at this outrageous scene with dull eyes.
Intelligent voice assistant? Isn’t this artificial intelligence?
“No wonder Rebus dares to say that a mobile phone with artificial intelligence will redefine the existence of ‘smartphone’.”
"Damn it, if this trend continues, won't the magic phone become a reality?"
but.
A bigger doubt fills the hearts of everyone, and that is its price.
This does not require Lei Jun to use the traditional "Lei-style comparison method" to compare its huge advantages with various smartphones.
Just with fingerprint unlocking, smart voice assistant and a ‘god-from-the-world’-like OS system, it has surpassed the existence of any other mobile phone in the world.
Whether it is Apple or Samsung, whether it is Nokia or any mobile phone manufacturer, it is impossible to compete with it.
However, some people are also filled with sorrow.
That is Zhang Wei, who is far away in Sichuan and Sichuan, watching the live broadcast, with a frown on his face: "Honey, can you lend me your private money?"
“I guess it’s not enough”
With this configuration, this function, and this cool appearance, its starting price is only six to seven thousand?
How can I afford my humble bonus? Even my own private money is far from enough.
"I don't have much." Weiwei counted the little money she had saved on her fingers: "If this mobile phone is so expensive, I can't even afford it with my personal money."
She also wants to buy this mobile phone, but her family's current conditions really don't allow her to spend the money randomly.
At this time.
When the two heard Lei Jun's loud voice, their original expressions of ending turned into excitement.
"I don't want to show off anymore," Lei Jun said decisively, announcing the final price: "We don't want 4999, let alone 3999, or even 2999!"
A bright number popped up on the big screen behind him.
[Xiaomi 1 price: 1999 yuan! 】
When looking at this number, all the viewers can only think of one word: "Fuck" and "Fuck, fuck!"
When this price is announced, there is no doubt that the end of smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple is coming.
Even feature phones such as Nokia and Motorola will be swept directly into the garbage heap of history.
In the face of this price, I am afraid that there is no way for copycat phones to survive.
At the same time, the 2+16GB memory version is priced from 2,999.
Equipped with a 32nm high-performance version, the 3+16GB version starts at 4,999.
Better than Apple, stronger than Samsung, and cheaper than all of you, how can it be competitive?
What’s even more alarming is that Lei Jun’s Xiaomi is just the first of dozens of mobile phone manufacturers in the Daxia Mobile Phone Alliance. Their mobile phones are also equipped with OS systems, and they also have fingerprint unlocking and independent voice assistants.
How can we compete?
The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.
Within one hour of the "Xiaomi 1" that just went on sale, 20,000 units were sold in the Yanjing area alone, and more than 300,000 units were pre-ordered online.
The first shot was fired in the counterattack against foreign mobile phone brands!
And this time.
At Daxia Yanjing International Airport, an ordinary flight finally arrived.
Xia Ke Academy, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing were waiting anxiously when a pinned email appeared on the screen.
[Our organization has arrived in Yanjing, Daxia, and is waiting at the airport. 】
