I want to make a game

A lot of people came to Xiaomi's press conference. As Liu Zhiyuan's former secretary, he still has this reputation. After all, if you know a little about Xiaomi, you can find that this is another subsidiary of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan laughed when he saw Lei Jun's slightly exaggerated press conference. Obviously, the press conference was a success.

Let’s not talk about how cheap a $99 mobile phone is in this era. Just the scene of smashing a Xiaomi phone and putting it back together and successfully turning it on was a gimmick for the media to report.

Electronic products are equal to fragile high-tech products. The more advanced they are, the more fragile they are. This has long been a subconscious consensus among people, and of course it is true.

If Hongmeng 2 is dropped like this, although it will not be directly scrapped, at least you will have to change the screen, right?

Can you drop the computer and take a look?

Drop the game console again?

"Mr. Liu, how was my performance? Did I not embarrass you?"

As soon as the press conference ended, Lei Jun called.

"Just the moment I dropped my phone, I practiced it no less than 100 times."

Liu Zhiyuan did not answer his question, but asked.

“Is the quality of Xiaomi mobile phones really that good?”

Although Xiaomi Mi 1 is a complete copy of the historical Nokia 1100, Nokia itself couldn't do such a violent beating, right?

Durability does not mean that it cannot be broken. Unintentional beatings and deliberate violent beatings are completely different concepts.

Unless the former is very unlucky, it will not break the core motherboard, but the latter has a high probability of damaging the motherboard. Maybe the phone can be put together, but it is unrealistic to turn it on.

"Specially made, specially made."

Sure enough, he knew this was the case.

"Let me just say, if you have this kind of technology, you can definitely make high-end military equipment."

After saying that, he felt a little worried. It is normal to exaggerate appropriately in publicity, but the contrast should not be too great, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

"What is the actual situation of the normal version? Don't play too big and you won't be able to close the game."

You don’t need to think about it. There will definitely be many users who will go for Xiaomi’s durability. When the time comes, if someone drops their phone on the ground and breaks it, something will happen.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry. Although the regular version is not as exaggerated as the one I advertised, normal beatings will basically not cause any trouble."

"That's fine..."

When Liu Zhiyuan was on the phone with Lei Jun, Ericsson executives also saw this promotional video.

After seeing this video, all their previous happiness was gone, leaving only endless anger and... powerlessness.

"Everyone, don't be too discouraged. No matter what, we still have a color screen."

Ericsson's product director looked at the lifeless conference room and stood up to comfort him.

However, the atmosphere in the conference room became even quieter.

Yes, their products have color screens, which Xiaomi phones don’t have, but everything is vulnerable to the $99 price tag!

The difference between their phone and Xiaomi’s is a full $500!

With the huge difference of US$500, they have no way to compete with Xiaomi in the low-end market. The high-end market, sorry, since the emergence of Hongmeng 2, has been completely GSM’s market.

"Reposition it, lower the price by $100, and then focus on people who have some money, but can't afford Hongmeng phones, and look down on Xiaomi."

After the CEO of Ericsson said this, his heart was very painful. That was 100 US dollars. The profit of each Ericsson mobile phone was less than 200 US dollars.

But $599 is too high, so high that those who don’t have enough money can’t even afford their phones, and those who don’t have enough money can’t afford their phones.

"Go and announce the price of Ericsson."

"Don't you think about it anymore? President."

The president understands the meaning of this sentence very well. Once the price is announced, it will be difficult to change it, which will seriously affect Ericsson's reputation in the world, but...

"Don't think about it anymore. We are not the Han Dynasty, nor are we Motorola. We cannot afford a price war. All production lines have been shut down. We can sell as much as we can."

He really can't afford to lose. If the price is reduced to US$299, he believes that his mobile phone will be able to capture part of the market, but Ericsson cannot afford this loss.

That is to say, Liu Zhiyuan doesn't know what the Ericsson president is thinking, otherwise he would definitely break out in a cold sweat and immediately put down the game and go to Xiaomi.

Because the biggest market for mobile phones in later generations has never been the high-end or low-end fields, but the mid-range!

Mobile phones priced between 2000-4000 are the best-selling ones and occupy the largest market share!

If the CEO of Ericsson really wants to go all out and set the price of their mobile phone at more than 200 US dollars, then...

Well, it's still cool. At most, it will just struggle for a few more years, and at most, Liu Zhiyuan will retire a few years later. After all, Liu Zhiyuan, who has experienced the next 20 years, knows what is the user's favorite mobile phone.

"Congratulations to the Han Dynasty, ah, no, congratulations to Global Communications, and congratulations to President Ren Zhengfei. The Best Electronic Product Design Award in 1998 is 100% for the Hongmeng 2."

The impact of Hongmeng 2 has just begun. This is a super phone that redefines mobile phones just by its appearance!

In 2010, it even won awards and received no mercy. What’s more, in 1998, in people’s subconscious, mobile phones should still be like big brothers!

"Look at these perfect cut edges, look at this perfect combination of glass and metal. This phone is completely from the future. If it doesn't win the Electronic Design Award next year, I'll eat it!"

Unfortunately, no one listened to the host's affectionate confession. All the guests present stared at the white Hongmeng 2 in his hand.

"Pete, where did you get it? It's not on sale yet?"

Pierre dodged the hand reaching for Hongmeng 2 and looked at it carefully before answering.

"Man, the Han Dynasty and I are sorry, I keep slipping my tongue. Don't you know about my relationship with Global Communications?"

"Okay, okay, Peter, we all know that you have a good relationship with GSM, so..."

The guests looked at him expectantly.

"Can you apply for one for me? I can pay for it."

"Hey... man, what are you talking about!? I seem to hear you weighing this work of art in terms of money?"

Peter deliberately made an excited expression and shouted loudly.

"This is blasphemy, do you understand blasphemy? You actually connected that kind of dirty thing with works of art!"

The guests quickly made a gesture of surrender.

"Sorry, sorry, my bad, Pete, could you please let me hold this priceless work of art in my hands and appreciate it?"

Peter handed over Hongmeng 2 reluctantly.

"Be careful, it is very delicate, not a rough handicraft like Xiaomi."

"Yes, yes..."

After receiving the Hongmeng 2, the guests looked at it carefully with a look of amazement.

"Pete, Pete, this phone..."

Seeing Peter's downcast face, he hurriedly changed his words.

“Does this artwork really have a fingerprint unlocking function?”

"Of course, you see."

After Pete pressed his index finger on the home button of Hongmeng 2, the main interface appeared, and the camera pointed at the phone interface at the right time.

The icons of each app are sitting there quietly, including icq, Galaxy Browser, and...travel frog.

"Amazing, so amazing. The technological content of this work of art is so high. I remember that Motorola and Ericsson also released new mobile phones this year, right?"

When Peter heard this, his face was full of disdain.

"Why should that kind of garbage product be compared with Hongmeng? Do they have front and rear cameras? Do they have such a beautiful appearance? Do they have fingerprint unlocking? They have..."

"Motorola...why dare to sell it for $1,099!?"

Okay, Liu Zhiyuan can't stand it anymore. Is this script a bit too much?

Although he has not read the scripts of these programs, they must have been arranged by Ren Zhengfei. After all, under normal circumstances, there would be no such clear-cut statements about taking sides.

He didn't know that this time, Peter and the guest were really wronged.

There is a script, but it is definitely not that exaggerated. It was modified by someone after they got the physical version of Hongmeng 2!

Liu Zhiyuan has seen too many classic mobile phones. Although the Apple 4 has an irreplaceable position in history, in the next 10 years, other major manufacturers have not been idle.

Having seen too many classics, he underestimated how much of a storm the Apple 4 would cause in this era.

"Oh my gosh, this feel, really, Pete, I really can't associate it with a phone, this texture, this comfort, I can't, Pete, you have to do it for me

One piece."

"It feels perfect. Look at my fingers. I can perfectly control it with one hand. The person who designed it must have put a lot of effort into human body mechanics. And here..."

"..."

As the president of Global Communications, a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty, Ren Zhengfei is naturally the parent company’s best publicist. He has great expectations for Hongmeng 2!

It doesn’t mean how much money it will make. Hongmeng 2 didn’t lose any money, but it didn’t make even 1 cent. Taking into account other expenses, it actually still lost money.

His real expectation for this mobile phone is that he wants it to establish who is the real king in the field of mobile phones!

As long as we win this name, Global Communication will have many opportunities to make money in the future. Regardless of the investment in research and development, the return will be that the cost is getting lower day by day!

Soon, the day when money will be made is not long. Maybe Hongmeng 3 and the officially renamed Chaos 1 will start to make profits!

"It's gone, it's gone..."

Zhang Chaoyang grinned in his office as he looked at Taobao International's astonishing traffic.

Hongmeng 2 will also be sold on Taobao International, and only Han Dynasty’s own experience store can compete with it. Apart from these two channels, you can’t buy them anywhere!

Although Han Dynasty's physical stores are under rapid construction, it still takes time. A large number of people are not able to go to physical stores to see the goods.

Then can this traffic not explode?

"700,000 units, this is really an exaggeration!"

As soon as the launch of Hongmeng 2 was over, Taobao International’s GMT flagship store put it on the shelves, and in just one day, the number of pre-sales reached 700,000 units!

Moreover, every time he refreshes the page, this number will increase at an alarming rate!

700 million U.S. dollars, even if it is not profitable, this turnover can shock everyone!

"Mr. Zhang, Ericsson and Motorola have called and want to join our platform. Do you want to reject them?"

"Refuse? Why refuse?"

Zhang Chaoyang turned his head when he heard his secretary's words.

"Let them settle in and provide the best conditions, and it will be a world-class company after all."

"But... they are competitors with us."

Zhang Chaoyang returned with an angry look on his face.

"What competitors? We are a platform company, not a mobile phone seller. They are competitors of Global Communications."

This little secretary is not very clever.

Although everyone is from the Han Dynasty, this platform has never been exclusive to the Han Dynasty system.

"But Mr. Ren will be dissatisfied, right? After all, we are a family."

"It's none of our business whether Ren Zhengfei is satisfied or dissatisfied. Taobao International is not opened for him. Besides, as for Motorola, can they outsell Hongmeng!?"

If he dares to reject Motorola's application to enter the company, Mr. Liu will dare to tell him to pack up and leave tomorrow.

"Although we are a family, the premise is that we can give priority to our own people without losing our own interests. Taobao International is an international platform. Anyone who is interested can join as long as it is legal."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of Lei Jun.

"Xiaomi didn't come?"

Can't?

Lei Jun is a monkey spirit, would he let this opportunity pass?

"No, but Mr. Ma is here."

"Which Mr. Ma?"

"Mr. Ma from icq."

When he heard it was Ma Huateng, Zhang Chaoyang curled his lips. Taobao International was very good and had great prospects, but he still wanted icq more.

"What is he here for?"

"Sell icq coins, sell peripherals."

"..."

Okay, sell it and see if Mr. Liu can skin you later!

This is a complete waste of your own icq traffic. You have attracted all users to Taobao International, so... No, can I upgrade Taotao...

Zhang Chaoyang suddenly felt that there was an opportunity. If he used the traffic of Taobao International to build Taotao, would there be no problem with ICQ?

If you are jealous of icq, why not make one yourself?

Taobao International's traffic is booming. Although it is not as good as icq, it is not so bad that it cannot catch up.

Anyway, Mr. Liu never said that Ma Huateng could not be touched. Didn’t his boss often say that healthy internal competition should be maintained?

This is an opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Ma, for bringing me a new development direction.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't know that Zhang Chaoyang had already started to think about icq, but even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything because the meat would rot in the pot anyway.

This is a very good example of healthy competition. In the end, who can determine the leading position in the instant messaging industry depends on their own methods.

On November 1st, after several months of publicity, Hongmeng mobile phone will finally be released. At this time, its pre-sale number on Taobao International has reached 17.2 million!

Now there are about 50 million mobile phone users worldwide. This history has changed because of Liu Zhiyuan.

Historically, in 1998, there were about 100 million mobile phone users in the world, among which Nokia was the leader. At this time and space, Nokia had not developed a serious mobile phone, so it was more suitable for communication equipment.

As for the second-ranked Motorola and the third-ranked Ericsson, well, it would be tears to say too much. They have about 50 million users, and more than 30 million of them are from the Han Dynasty.

There is no way, facing the nds version of Hongmeng, other manufacturers have no interest in developing mobile phones, it will not make money!

After finally getting through it, the popularity of NDs dropped. Who would have thought that Hongmeng 2 would be even more amazing.

On Taobao International, Ericsson's pre-sales are higher than Motorola's, with one selling 370,000 units and the other selling 120,000 units.

However, including Hongmeng 2, they are not the mobile phones with the highest pre-sales, the highest is Xiaomi!

68.3 million units!

Lei Jun stood up, Xiaomi became famous in one battle, and it became a blockbuster even if it didn't make a splash. I believe that when Xiaomi's financial report is released, Lei Jun will become the most popular CEO of the Han Dynasty.

His Xiaomi 1st generation is profitable!

A mobile phone can earn more than 60 US dollars. Putting aside all costs, even including the cost of Lei Jun’s crazy 3-year no-reason warranty, there is no problem at all in earning 30 US dollars from a mobile phone!

After all, after 3 years, who can still appreciate the Xiaomi 1st generation? Even if you give me a new one for free, you will be disgusted!
