Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 685 Hello~How Are You?

On September 9, London was shrouded in autumn fog.

A private plane quietly landed at the VIP airport on the outskirts of the city, and Chen Mo and Lei Jun filed out with their respective teams.

On the tarmac, the two teams are about to part ways.

Chen Mo patted Lei Jun on the shoulder and joked, "Brother Jun, how is your oral practice going for the press conference on the 27th during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Don't worry, we are fully prepared this time." Lei Jun's eyes flashed with fatigue but more determination. "How about you, how long have you not spoken English? Don't get tongue-tied when the time comes."

Chen Mo snorted, "You forgot that I went to Google to meet Andy Rubin, the father of Android, five years ago. Don't worry, my English is pretty good. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself."

After watching Lei Jun's team drive away, Chen Mo turned to his assistant and said, "Let's go to the branch."

The black Maybach glided silently into the London morning mist.

After Chen Mo visited the overseas team, he immediately started adjusting to the time difference.

He needs to get back to his best condition as soon as possible, after all, he will appear as a mystery guest in this press conference.

Opening the prepared speech, he practiced his pronunciation quietly, occasionally frowning and modifying a few expressions that were not authentic enough. He did not want to be the protagonist of a ghost video, and having Lei Jun was enough.

On the banks of the Thames in the evening, Chen Mo, wearing sunglasses and masks, walked side by side with Liu Yifei.

The surface of the river reflected the lights on the opposite bank, and Liu Yifei's hair fluttered in the evening breeze.

Liu Yifei happened to be attending a brand event in the local area, and the two took the opportunity to enjoy their rare leisure time.

When passing by Trafalgar Square, the huge billboard of Xiaomi's press conference was particularly eye-catching.

"You're making a big scene this time." Liu Yifei looked up at the billboard.

"Boss Lei is planning something big." Chen Mo took her arm around her waist and said in a low voice, "By the way, Beyond Pictures is about to launch two new projects, Wolf Warriors 2 and The Wandering Earth. You and Tiantian can consider joining us."

“The Wandering Earth? Is it the work of Liu Cixin, who wrote The Three-Body Problem?” Liu Yifei’s eyes lit up.

“You watch science fiction too?”

"Even Obama urged me to update it, so of course I have read it." Liu Yifei laughed, "Why not shoot "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. "The copyright is in the hands of Youzu. They refuse to sell it. But we have obtained the copyrights of Liu's other works."

The two walked into a cafe. Chen Mo frowned as he looked at the fish and chips served, feeling a little uncomfortable with the taste.

"Remember to adjust your endorsement strategy after you return to China. Don't accept brands like Gree and Juchang that are not from the other side of the world. We don't need this little money."

"I know~" Liu Yifei winked mischievously, "Then how is the endorsement fee calculated on the other side? A friendship price?"

"Hmm?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, okay, the price of love is okay, right~" Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and charmingly.

On the evening of September 9, Wembley Stadium.

This is the packed venue for the World of Glory European Finals.

Chen Mo and Liu Yifei sat in the VIP private box and witnessed the exciting moment when the FNC team won the championship.

The team will represent Europe in the S1 Global Finals to be held in China next month, competing for a total prize of up to 5000 million yuan.

Since the FNC club focused on the World of Glory competition, the strength of the LOL division dropped sharply, resulting in failure to qualify. The teams participating in LOLS5 are OG, H2K and TSM.

Although Liu Yifei didn't know much about the game, she leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder and enjoyed this rare warm moment.

Amid the deafening cheers in the arena, she whispered, "Can you play this game with me next time?"

Chen Mo kissed her earlobe gently, "I'll teach you when we get back to the hotel."

Looking at the pretty face of the beauty in his arms that instantly turned red, he smiled in an indecent way.

“Let’s start with the most basic roaming.”

September 9th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a Xiaomi press conference will be held tonight.

Knowing that Chen Mo was abusing his power to accompany a beautiful woman these days, Lei Jun was not idle either.

First, he paid a visit to the Chinese Ambassador to the UK and gave him a detailed introduction to Xiaomi, which won him encouragement and affirmation!

He then visited local mobile phone stores to get a close look at the local market conditions.

Finally, we went to the Xiaomi Home that will open in London after the press conference to check out the preparations before the opening.

As the setting sun shines on the surface of the Thames, a cruise ship slowly passes by.

On the cruise ship, Chen Mo frowned as he looked at Lei Jun, who was leaning against the railing and looked a little haggard. The latter was flipping through his flash cards over and over again, but his attention was always absent-minded.

"Lao Lei, you're not in the right state." Chen Mo came over with a cup of English tea, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lei Jun took it and rubbed his temples. "I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. My mind is full of things about the press conference. I get a headache when I think about the press conference. If it succeeds again, there will definitely be a lot of attacks in secret."

He looked at the Parliament Building on the river bank and said in a low voice, "This press conference is very important."

"Pah!" Chen Mo suddenly slapped Lei Jun on the back, almost knocking the tech tycoon into the river. "Stand up! I don't want to steal your limelight tonight."

Lei Jun grimaced in pain, but he also laughed, "You kid..." The river breeze blew on his face, and he took a deep breath, "I just always feel like something is missing."

"Why think so much?" Chen Mo shook the teacup, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

Lei Jun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have so many heretical theories, who knows which one it is."

"Just do it!"

Lei Jun might have thought of the first time he saw this sentence. Before Xiaomi held its first press conference, Chen Mo wrote this sentence at the end of the press conference plan: "Everything is for Xiaomi! Just do it!"

He seemed to have let go of something, smiled and nodded, "Yeah, just do it!"

"Honestly," Chen Mo suddenly said seriously, "You need to get concentrated exposure like me. You know the power of brand personification."

"I can't drive a ride-hailing car, can I?" Lei Jun smiled bitterly. "That's too deliberate."

"Well, there is always a way." Chen Mo shifted his gaze and looked towards the river bank.

Lei Jun was attracted by the scenery along the coast and did not notice the cunning look in Chen Mo's eyes.

As the cruise ship turned the river bend, the lights at the Xiaomi conference venue in the distance had been turned on, standing out in the twilight.

Lei Jun took a deep breath and suddenly said, "You are right. It is time to let the world see the edge of Xiaomi."

Chen Mo raised his lips slightly, "This is the impression I have of you. Let's go, we should get ready."

September 2015, 9, London Royal Docks Exhibition and Convention Centre.

The moon was bright in the sky, and the waves of the Thames and the neon lights of the Royal Docks Exhibition and Convention Center complemented each other.

This ancient building is now witnessing a technological feast from the East.

At the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, a hundred-meter-long red carpet is spread out, and the crystal glass display cabinets on both sides display Xiaomi's products of all generations: the left side displays the evolution process of Xiaomi X1 to X5, and the right side displays ecological products such as bracelets and smart homes.

Walking into it feels like walking into a time corridor belonging to Xiaomi.

Technology media reporters from all over the world entered the venue one after another, and each of them received an exquisite black gift box when signing in.

After opening it, there are mooncakes with the words "Born to Be Fierce" printed on them. There are five of them, symbolizing the five generations of mobile phones currently released by Xiaomi. The fillings of the mooncakes are also different, including the five-nut flavor that foreigners have never eaten before.

Overseas Mi Fans and Mi Fan Reserves also lined up long distances outside the press conference door and entered in an orderly manner!

As the time approached, the conference hall with a capacity of nearly 2,000 people was quickly filled up, and media from both China and the West were on standby with their cameras and weapons.

It is almost 3 a.m. in the far east. Even so, there are still many domestic technology media and Mi fans looking forward to this live broadcast, with barrages in their hands ready to go.

19:00, sharp!

All the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and the originally noisy scene fell silent in an instant.

When the spotlight came back on, a figure in a slim dark blue suit was already standing in the center of the stage.

Lei Jun's signature smile looked particularly friendly under the lights. He held the microphone lightly, and his greetings with Hubei accent echoed throughout the audience:

"hello?"

"How are you? London Mifans"

Most of the foreigners in the audience responded enthusiastically, and some even shouted "I'm fine, and you?" very loudly. It was obvious that they were Chinese rice noodles that had gone through 9 years of compulsory education.

"I'm very happy to be in China" Lei Jun suddenly realized his mistake and quickly changed his words: "to be"

This cute mistake caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.

The comments in the domestic B station and Douyin Xiaomi live broadcast room also began to flood the screen like crazy.

"hhhhhhhh, xswl, I'll live in Bengbu if Mr. Lei asks me to."

"China~china! Qidelong East Wall!"

"Oh my god, this is so cute. Even though he is away from home, his heart is still with China. Mr. Lei really makes me cry~"

"Oh my god, it turns out that not everyone can be the boss. If I were on the stage, I could dig a hole through the floor with my toes."

"This Hubei accent makes me laugh so hard. Can't you find a reliable foreigner to give the speech?"

"No, no, no, this Chinglish is very standard. Damn, I actually understood it all. I feel like I have no pressure at all to take the CET-4 exam now."

"What do you know? This is what makes the show effective. When it comes to making things happen, Lei is always a professional. Foreigners just like abstract things."

"Isn't it that Mr. Lei will use Chinese to explain the next product? Then I think I can be selected as the annual Spring Festival Gala sketch."

"Wait, what did Mr. Lei just say? Is it Do you like MiPhone? Damn, I feel like I can't keep up with my English level 8 listening test~~~"

The enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited by Lei Jun's funny English sentences.

Hearing Lei Jun's question, the audience shouted, "yes!"

Perhaps the enthusiasm of the audience inspired Lei Jun. He was so excited that he immediately said loudly the last sentence, "We have a gift for everyone."

After saying that, the light dimmed again.

The big screen lights up, and a beautiful gift box slowly unfolds, revealing the new Xiaomi X6 phone
