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

Chapter 151 Xiao Lei is not in a hurry, Xiao Mo is helping

Ever since Xiaomi officially announced the press conference on December 12, there was no need for Chen Mo to do any guiding work, and the media began to exaggerate the competition between Xiaomi and Meizu.

In addition to taking the overall situation into consideration, Chen Mo's main job now is to improve the previous PPT, because he needs to constantly polish the PPT and add some necessary special effects.

In addition, he also has to write manuscripts to be used in press conferences.

Don’t be fooled by those big names who speak eloquently on the stage and give advice on the country and write passionately. That’s basically a script written in advance. There are teleprompters on the scene, and some details are up to them.

At the same time, he also asked Qi Mengmeng to design a new LOGO for Xiaomi. The original Xiaomi LOGO looked like a raised middle finger, which was not conducive to promotion.

When Chen Mo placed the Xiaomi logo in front of Lei Jun, the latter praised it expressionlessly, "Well, very good, it is indeed much better than the current logo."

"Turn it upside down and look at it. What does it look like?"

Lei Jun looked down, eyes widening, "Is this the heart? But unfortunately, it's missing a little bit?"

As if he had expected the other party to say this, "It means Xiaomi will give users less worries."

Ah? Can you explain it this way? "Aren't you afraid that others will say that Xiaomi is stupid?"

"How is that possible? My dear, there is nothing missing in the middle, so what else is missing? Otherwise, we can change it immediately, and then synchronize it with the official website to continue the popularity of Xiaomi~"

Lei Jun looked suspicious, "Why do I feel like you're eating these dumplings just for this dish of vinegar?"

Chen Mo chuckled and didn't make any excuses because it was indeed the case.

Just then, Lei Jun's cell phone rang and Chen Mo left the court without further ado.

A few minutes later, Lei Jun, carrying his bag, urgently called Chen Mo into the room and quickly explained a few words, "Lin Bin just called and said that there was a problem with the production at Inventec. The details cannot be explained over the phone. Neither he nor Dr. Zhou can handle it. I will go over and take a look. You stay in charge of the company first.

LOGO I have just arranged it, you can handle it yourself, I am leaving now, please keep in touch anytime"

After saying this, Lei Jun left.

Chen Mo had a vague sense of foreboding.
There is no point in thinking more now. Everything will be decided after Lei Jun reaches a conclusion. We will just deal with it as it comes.

It is more important to take care of your own things first. At present, there is a lot of work to be done regarding the press conference. Then Chen Mo selected the best talents from various departments of the company and gathered them together to carry out various preparations for the press conference in half a month.

After spending half a day assigning the tasks, Chen Mo came to the software team.

He first went to the second department to find Li Wanqiang to learn about the progress of Xiaomi's official website e-commerce. Recently, he has seen that the company is testing online ordering and offline delivery from time to time. It even asked friends from the third department to place an order to buy Coke from Xiaomi as part of the overall process of self-production and self-sales testing.

After some understanding, it was found that there were no major problems with the overall e-commerce sales process, with only some details and performance issues remaining. From a professional perspective, Chen Mo gave his own suggested response plans for overselling, locked orders, and high concurrency scenarios.

After listening to this, Li Wanqiang attached great importance to it and directly called the second technical team to hold an emergency meeting to strictly implement the instructions just given by Mr. Chen. After all, the influx of users after the press conference was no joke. If the website was paralyzed, it would be a small matter for him to take the blame, but the impact on Xiaomi would be a big deal!

Seeing that the Second Department would not be able to finish the task in a short time, Chen Mo left his suggestions and went to Huang Jiangji's MIOS to understand the situation.

Currently, the MIOS forum has gathered millions of forum fans, including nearly one million active users.

As the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference approaches, many people have been revealing their true identities on the forum. Some are fruit store managers, some are illustrators, and they all said that they would come to the Xiaomi conference spontaneously. There are also many fans from different countries in the forum.

Since the release of the international version of MIOS at the beginning of the month, it has produced a strong overseas effect and also allows users to recompile and customize. This open strategy has attracted many foreign enthusiasts, who have released many versions of MIOS in Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and German.

Many foreign friends have also spontaneously become international Mi fans, leaving messages on Twitter to recommend MIOS.

"I installed MIOS on my Google Nexus and it's like a breath of fresh air, it feels great."

"Hou Lixie, guys guess what I saw on the Huaxia MIOS forum? A VCR of Andy Rubin, the father of Android, commenting on MIOS, HOHO~"

"I've tried MIOS for everyone. It's crunchy and has a chicken flavor. It's worth having!"

"The Xiaomi phone will be released soon, and it will definitely be seamlessly integrated with MIOS. I am so looking forward to it. Oh my God, please make this damn time pass quickly!"

Late one night, Chen Mo made a transatlantic call at an estimated time.

After the call was connected, Chen Mo began to greet warmly in Chinglish, "Oh, Andy ~My Dear Big Bro~~~"

The call was to old Andy, and after an awkward chat, they got to the point. On the phone, Andy Rubin praised the internationalization of MIOS, which led to a new wave of overseas customized Android systems.

Android's market share has also been further improved. After receiving Chen Mo's call, Andy expressed his gratitude excitedly and asked him when he would come to Google again. He also said that he would do his best to help him.
Chen Mo's eyes turned when he heard this. Oh, huh? There is such a good thing? Then I won't be polite.

Then he took the opportunity to make a small request.
On December 12, Xiaomi officially announced the change of its company logo, which received unanimous praise from netizens, who said that it now looks much more pleasing to the eye.

A few minutes later, Xiaomi’s publicity matrix released another latest poster of Xiaomi mobile phone.

A 15 comes into view at the top of the screen.

Below is the Xiaomi phone laid flat horizontally with four wheels on it. It looks like a mobile phone sports car. The streamlined shape and the lightning-fast effect make people feel powerful.

The post reads: "15 days left, Xiaomi smartphones are not only sleek in appearance, but also have excellent configurations."

The release of this LOGO and poster has sparked new discussions and attention among netizens and Mi fans.

In fact, there were not just one or two posters for Xiaomi mobile phone. Chen Mo asked Qi Mengmeng to design 6 posters at once at the frequency of one every three days.

Afterwards, I briefed Duan Hongyan and asked the student in charge of Xiaomi’s official V on Sina Weibo to send out messages regularly every three days.

Three days later, on December 3, when Chen Mo saw Lei Jun again, he was shocked by his condition.

Lei Jun's eyes were bloodshot and he looked listless. At first glance, he looked like he had been robbed.

Chen Mo tried to contact Lei Jun these two days, but each time Lei Jun was vague and hung up after just a few words. He just said that there was a problem with the yield rate and it was being resolved, but he didn't say anything specific.

"What's going on? Has the problem at the factory been resolved?"

"I just got here after getting off the plane. I'm going to wash my face first. You go to the office and wait for me."

A few minutes later, Chen Mo saw the "cleaner" Lei Jun come in and then close the door. "What's going on?"

Lei Jun briefly explained the situation. In order to create a top-level mobile phone, Dr. Zhou's hardware team hoped to give competitors a resounding blow and deliberately raised their own requirements.

That is the first dual-core 1.5G mobile phone on the market, with a 4-inch screen and an 800-megapixel camera.
The phone was made, and it was perfect. Everyone cheered, because they knew it was a dream combination.

But then problems arose. Due to overly high quality requirements, the yield rate after mass production was far below expectations. For example, the original cost of 100 million yuan could produce 600 mobile phones, but now only 500 may be produced.

This means that the original plan to release 30 films during the Spring Festival cannot be completed.

In the two days and two nights after Lei Jun arrived at the factory, he found that this problem could not be solved in a short time.

After communicating with other founders, he was especially shocked by Chen Mo's ALL IN suggestion.

Finally, Lei Jun gritted his teeth and went straight to find Zhang Feng, the general manager of Inventec. On the basis of the original two production lines, he booked the entire factory at once and added four more production lines. The efficiency was not enough, but the quantity was made up!

The team was divided into two groups, with one group of technical engineers continuing to tackle the problem of yield rate, while the other group maintained stable growth in production capacity.

Adding production lines is only one of the solutions. Without the supply of parts, that would not work either. For this reason, Lei Jun contacted various suppliers to increase the quantity and purchased another 30 parts on top of the original 30.

Xiaomi spared no expense in investing in this endeavor, and before it could even warm up to the funds it had just raised, nearly half of them were consumed in one fell swoop.

Lei Jun's move not only shows his confidence in his own career and all Xiaomi employees, but also his confidence in Chen Mo and his marketing capabilities!
Because his name is Lei Jun, he believes in his own vision.

There is no such thing as a smooth and profitable business. The ups and downs he experienced over the years have become his most valuable asset.

This is also the chip that he not only dares to gamble, but also can afford to gamble!

". That's about it. The production line is still being expanded and improved, and it can't be put into combat immediately. It is expected that the new production line will not be put into production until mid-January, so the most important thing at the moment is that it may be too late in time.

We originally planned to sell 30 units after the Spring Festival, but now we may only be able to sell 20 units.”

Chen Mo stroked his chin with one hand, "Can we have 1 units before the press conference?"

"1 units will definitely be no problem."

"Okay, that won't be a problem for me. I guess I have to change my original plan. Did you bring the engineering machine?"

"I brought several phones. I'll give you three first so you can study them." Lei Jun took out a lot of Xiaomi phones from his bag.

This was the first time Chen Mo saw the Xiaomi X1 mobile phone. Although it was definitely not up to standard from his current perspective, the overall texture was still quite good.

Chen Mo picked up his phone and ran away.

Half an hour later, after flashing the latest version of MIOS, Chen Mo tried it out and then sighed with satisfaction~~~
Xiaomi mobile phone paired with MIOS is like a dragon returning to the sea, it just works great no matter how you use it.

Two hours later, Chen Mo showed the revised plan to Lei Jun for review.

"Is this okay?"

"Is this not possible?"

"It's not impossible!"

"That's fine!"

"You're trying to play a tongue twister with me, right? Fine, you're the commander-in-chief anyway! You decide."

Chen Mo suddenly looked a little embarrassed and said, "Do you have any extra Xiaomi phones?"

"Didn't I just give you three?"

"Uh, I broke it."

"All three are broken?"

"Just one~"

"If one is broken, don't we still have two? Aren't they enough for you?"

"Just one good one."

Lei Jun rummaged through his bag and said, "Hey, you're playing with your phone, what's wrong with you? I didn't bring many phones with me this time."

"I did it on purpose!"

Damn it, there’s no point in chatting today!

Lei Jun looked at Chen Mo angrily, "I need an explanation. Is your phone used for falling?"

"Look, you are a boss whose product is about to be launched. Why are you in such a hurry? Let me ask you, what is your first reaction when you mention Nokia mobile phones?"

"Good quality, resistant to falling!"

"Yes, so our Xiaomi has decent appearance, excellent configuration, and leaves people with the impression of good quality. Just tell me whether you want to buy it or not."

Lei Jun thought about it and it was true, "Although our mobile phones have been tested for drop resistance, mobile phones are meant to be used. No one buys a mobile phone to drop it for fun."

"Oh~ This is just a gimmick, you'll know when the time comes!"

Chen Mo left happily with the few Xiaomi phones he had just cheated.

"Smiling all day long, and occasionally talking nonsense." With a snort, Lei Jun looked at the latest version of the plan in his hand.

But this guy is very insightful about human nature. He himself is very moved by this. I don't know who he learned these crooked ideas from.
