I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 452 The Hammer Phone in a Mess! A Revolution! The Global Influence of Deep Blue Batteries!

In the following days, the telecommunications company provided Tiangong Technology with information on 4G network standards, frequency band planning details, frequency band updates, and protocol standards.

The goal is to ensure that the Tiangong baseband chip can incorporate the corresponding protocol stack and processing logic during its development.

at the same time.

Gewara Movie Tickets is growing very rapidly. After securing its latest round of funding, it has begun to challenge the ticketing channels of Kuaipao and Qiandu Group Buying.

This sparked a ticket subsidy war among the three companies!

A movie ticket for "The Rooftop" starring Jay Chou is only 9.9 yuan!
Even the ticket price for "Fast & Furious 6," which is currently in pre-sale, has been driven down to 9.9 yuan!
The film industry's prosperity is advancing rapidly amidst this fierce competition for ticket subsidies.

The trailer for "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" has been released, and the film is scheduled for release during the National Day holiday.

With the support of Douyin's traffic, "Unexpectedly" has surpassed 100 million views for the first time.

Vipshop's stock price continued to rise, reaching a market capitalization of US$23.7 billion, reigniting the surge in Chinese e-commerce stocks.

Ma Liyun and Liu Qiangdong were eager to try and successively submitted IPO plans to Nasdaq.

At 10:7 AM on July 25th, LeEco 1 and LeEco Pro were launched simultaneously on Pinduoduo, Tmall, JD.com, and LeEco Mall.

短短一个小时，定价999元的乐视1便卖出2.3万台，1999元的乐视Pro卖出1.4万台。

LeEco's success once again proves a point: making mobile phones requires no technical expertise!
According to Jia Yaoting, Ding Lei, and Zhou Hongyi, they can obtain a range of software and hardware support from Orange Technology.

By simply designing the product's appearance and ensuring compatibility between the hardware and the system, it's easy to create a smartphone that sells well.

After nearly a year of preparation, Luo Yonghao finally held a unique new product launch event in the 798 Art District of Yanjing, following in the footsteps of his idol, Lei Yijun.

The Smartisan T1 is here!

Perhaps because the market is large enough, even Smartisan phones have a considerable number of fans.

On the day of the press conference, the conference hall was filled with suppliers, media, and fans.

Luo invited Lei Yijun, Huang Zhang, Chen Yongming, Yu Chendong and others, but in the end only Lei Yijun gave them face.

In fact, Lei Yijun didn't want to come either, but putting aside Luo Yonghao's status as a competitor, he was still a loyal Mi fan, and especially a prominent internet influencer.

With tens of millions of fans in the digital and technology circles, and wanting to avoid offending anyone, and since it wasn't far away, he brought Li Wanqiang to the 798 Art District.

"Mr. Lei, thank you so much! Welcome, welcome!"

Luo Yonghao waved his short arms, looking excited.

Everyone looked down on him, but Lei Yijun alone gave him face and respect.

"Mr. Luo, you're too kind." Lei Yijun said with a smile, and accompanied by Luo Yonghao, he walked to the first row and took his seat.

"The best mobile phone in the Eastern Hemisphere!"

"World-class design!"

"Everything is the best!"

A short while later, Luo Yonghao walked up to the podium and shamelessly boasted.

Lei Yijun's lips twitched, and he thought to himself: This guy can make mobile phones too?
熬过一个多小时的脱口秀，罗勇浩缓缓念出锤子T1的售价：16GB版本3000元，32GB版本3150元。

Even its pricing style differs from competitors' '999' and '888' endings, yet online reviews are polarized.

"Who gave him the courage to sell it for 3000 yuan! Wouldn't it be better to just add 999 yuan and buy a Shiny Orange X1?"

"Don't try to extort me, thank you! The hardware and system performance of the Smartisan T1 is still somewhat inferior to that of the Orange C3S."

"If I spend 3000 yuan to buy a Smartisan phone, then I've really become a hammer!"

"Attention! It has a 5.0-inch IPS screen, a body thickness of 8.3 mm, and a weight of 168 grams. It's thick and heavy, no different from a brick."

Among the phones sold at the same time, the iPhone 5 weighed 112 grams and the Xiaomi 2S weighed 139 grams.

For users, the Smartisan T1 is too heavy to hold with one hand and too inconvenient to use with two.

"The camera is only slightly better than the 360 ​​F1, yet they dare to charge 2100 yuan more, 666!"

"2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage is basically a mainstream configuration for a car priced around 1500 yuan, with no special features whatsoever!"

"But its body is made of glass and stainless steel, with simple and smooth lines, a symmetrical design, and exquisite workmanship. To be honest, I really want to buy one."

"Hey bro, it's a deal! Talking big doesn't make you a real man, remember to show your support with money."

"Fang Zhouzi has made his move! He reported Smartisan phones!"

Netizens followed the clues and found Fang Zhouzi's Weibo posts.

Fang Zhouzi's reasoning is quite simple: according to the Advertising Law, superlative terms and best terms are not allowed.

To sell his phones, Luo Yonghao's press conferences were high-energy and shocking, constantly boasting about the world's most perfect industrial design and the pinnacle of human interaction systems.

To be honest, there's definitely some false advertising involved!

But since all his peers were doing it, Luo Yonghao didn't see anything wrong with it.

But Fang Zhouzi was not happy and seized the opportunity to attack Luo Yonghao relentlessly.

After all, the false advertising was true, and the long-standing grudge between the two was also true.

Seven years ago, Fang Zhouzi and Luo Yonghao were business partners and close friends.

Fang Zhouzi wrote articles on Luo Yonghao's Bullog website, making him arguably the platform's top blogger.

However, their good relationship didn't last long, and the two soon fell out due to their differing beliefs.

Luo Yonghao directly banned Fang Zhouzi's account and posted a sarcastic comment about him.

Fang Zhouzi was no pushover either, and immediately exposed Luo Yonghao's past online: illegal school operation, operating beyond the permitted scope, and tax evasion.

Luo Yonghao immediately became furious and reported that Fang Zhouzi's wife had fabricated her academic credentials, even plagiarizing others' work in her master's thesis.

To put it bluntly, neither of them are good people.

Therefore, Fang Zhouzi seized the opportunity and naturally wouldn't let Luo Yonghao off the hook. He not only reported Smartisan Technology to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but also mocked him:
"The Hammer's icon interface is like putting a mosaic on a phone, but there are so many idiots in China that even if they sold tiles as phones, they wouldn't have trouble finding buyers! This phone was probably inspired by Luo Yonghao retrieving feces from a toilet." The insults were both vulgar and offensive!
Some users, who originally intended to boldly buy one and try out the UI interaction and industrial aesthetics of the "new force in mobile phone manufacturing", gave up their ideas after seeing Fang Zhouzi's Weibo post.

As a result, only a little over 7300 Smartisan T1 units were sold on the day of its release, which angered Luo Yonghao so much that he turned around and reported Fang Zhouzi's anti-counterfeiting fund for allegedly defrauding money, evading taxes, and engaging in shady operations.

The two exchanged barbs on Weibo, just like Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun did back then.

Luo Yonghao criticized the company for two days but found that it had no effect at all, with a very poor conversion rate and a total sales volume of only 1.9 units in three days.

The LeEco 1 and LeEco Pro, which were released at the same time, have already sold more than 50 units.

He pressed the Hammer phone onto the ground and rubbed it.

Jia Yaoting led LeEco to repeated victories, and the stock price soared.

Industry insiders were surprised to find that by partnering with Orange Technology, they were unlikely to lose, at least in the mobile phone sector, regardless of other aspects.

Before them were Xiaomi, 360, and NetEase; now Meitu and LeEco are following.

These newcomers, who entered the field later in life, have left a host of second-tier mobile phone manufacturers far behind in the smartphone industry, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back.

Xiaomi and 360 Mobile, which have the highest shipment volumes, are even showing signs of joining the top tier.

……

……

On July 29, Orange Technology announced the new Shiny Orange X1 SE through its official website and Weibo account, with the price increasing by 200 yuan.

The 32GB standard version is priced at 4199 yuan, and the 64GB high-end version is priced at 4799 yuan.

With the same configuration, the battery management system has been optimized, and the battery capacity has been increased from 3200 mAh to 5400 mAh, doubling the battery life. Under heavy use, it can easily last a whole day.

If you only browse the internet and chat, without playing mobile games, watching ultra-high-definition videos, and keeping the screen brightness at medium, the battery life can reach 48 to 72 hours.

This greatly alleviates users' anxiety about insufficient battery power.

It's worth noting that in 2013, the smartphones with the largest battery capacity, such as the Huawei Mate (4050 mAh), Vivo Xplay (3400 mAh), and ZTE Grand Memo (3200 mAh), were all top-tier models.

The battery capacity of the Shiny Orange X1 SE is more than 40% higher than these models!

More notably, according to the parameters on the product details page, while the battery capacity has increased, the thickness of the device has remained unchanged.

In addition, seven more high-definition images have been added, interspersed within the product description.

Deep Blue Battery!

A revolutionary lithium-sulfur battery technology!
Cycle life of 1000 cycles!
A complete cycle refers to the cumulative process of a battery being discharged from 100% capacity to 0%. For moderate to light users, charging once every three days will allow the battery to degrade by 20% after eight or nine years.

Of course, a mobile phone cannot be used for eight or nine years, because by then, any software may occupy tens of gigabytes or even hundreds of gigabytes of memory space.

Under normal circumstances, users can replace their phones in less than three years.

Even heavy users can enjoy full-power battery performance for three years.

The Shiny Orange X1 SE perfectly balances battery life and comfortable grip. Its ultra-thin 6.9mm body, while not as thin as the Huawei Ascend P6, boasts a battery capacity 2.7 times larger.

Despite the price increase, for potential customers of the Shiny Orange X1 SE, spending an extra 200 yuan to resolve battery anxiety is definitely worthwhile.

On the first day of its release, the special edition sold 6.1 units.

The long battery life of the Deep Blue battery perfectly meets the needs of Chinese smartphone users, and its actual performance far exceeds expectations.

Previously, there were no choices, but now that there are, users have increasingly higher requirements for battery life.

Millions of Orange mobile phone users left messages on the Orange community, official Weibo, and Chen Yansen's comment section, requesting the release of long-battery-life versions of the Orange D2 and Orange C3S.

At 8 p.m. that evening, Orange Technology officially responded: at present, there is only a long-battery-life version of the Shiny Orange X1, and it also clearly stated that it will not develop new versions of the Green Orange D2 and Orange C3S.

However, the Deep Blue Battery will be used in the next version of the Green Orange and Orange systems.

In a short time, mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad, and Xiaomi called one after another to request cooperation.

Deep Blue batteries are of great significance to the mobile phone industry. Whether you want to improve battery life or make ultra-thin phones, you can't do without high-energy-density battery technology.

Moreover, the fact that Orange Technology dares to use this battery in its own products indicates that it has no problems with energy efficiency and safety.

Chen Yansen's phone rang incessantly from morning till night. Helpless, he asked Zhou Shouzhi to send out invitations to various business partners, planning to hold a procurement negotiation meeting on August 1st.

After learning of the news, overseas mobile phone manufacturers such as Sansung, Sony, and LG took the initiative to contact Zhou Shouzhi and request invitation letters.

at the same time.

The tech world in Europe and North America was in an uproar, leaving dozens of companies developing lithium-sulfur batteries completely bewildered.

This is like a highly skilled craftsman who spends three years and countless days and nights to personally create a wooden bicycle that he believes to be technologically advanced.

But as soon as he stopped to catch his breath, he turned around and saw that Senlian Capital had already sped past in a luxury car.

Chase?
What can we use to pursue them?

This feeling is so damn despairing!

At the same time, it also caused a huge uproar in academic circles in Europe and America!

They simply couldn't understand how Senlian Capital had solved the problems of shuttle effect, lithium dendrite formation, and short cycle life.

Every technical obstacle has caused countless R&D labs and top teams to rack their brains, but now Senlian Capital has stepped in and said: Stop messing around, I've already reached my destination!
Journals such as Electrochemistry and Power Sources in the United States, as well as Batteries & Supercaps and Compel in Europe, have defined the Deep Blue Battery as a new turning point in 21st-century battery electrochemistry.

Without hesitation, Time magazine dispatched a team from its headquarters to China to conduct a second interview with Chen Yansen.

at the same time.

Members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences are discussing the scientific breakthrough of the Deep Blue Battery, its disruptive impact on the field, and its practical contributions to human society.

In other words, the lithium-sulfur battery technology controlled by DeepBlue Technology has been included in the selection list.

Although DeepBlue Technology was not a pioneer in the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries, it was the first to industrialize and apply the technology on a large scale.
