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

Chapter 156 Born for Fever
2011年1月1日晚19：55分，小米发布会正式开始。

This is the only press conference in the Centennial Lecture Hall that starts 5 minutes early.

The originally noisy environment gradually quieted down as the surrounding lights dimmed suddenly. All the audiences on the upper and lower floors held their breath and looked at the three screens (one large and two small) directly above the stage, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

The next moment, the screen showed a curtain being pulled open, and then the camera shook violently. A man in a blue casual suit kept walking forward, and from time to time he said to the staff who were blocking the way, "Excuse me, please make way~"

Then people near the stage found themselves on TV and greeted the camera.

It is common in later generations to use real-life shooting as the opening for a press conference, but nowadays, such a special opening makes everyone's eyes light up.

As the man continued to move forward, the picture suddenly became clear and the steps of the stage appeared. The man climbed up the stage in three or two steps. Finally, the camera gradually pulled away to give a long-focus shot, and finally switched to a close-up of the man in the center of the stage.

The man wore a light blue casual slim-fit suit over a white T-shirt, paired with dark blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers, but the laces were orange, which complemented the orange Xiaomi logo on the chest of the suit.

The man with neat and thick short hair, delicate features and a smile on his face in the center of the stage looks like a sunny and cheerful big boy, making people feel close to him.

Everyone assumes that Xiaomi’s press conference will be delivered by founder Lei Jun himself.

When people found out that it was a strange handsome guy they had never seen before, the scene and the Internet went crazy.
"How did Lei Jun become younger?"

“Do entrepreneurs also like plastic surgery?”

"No, no, I'm not Lei Jun at all. Who the hell is he?"

"Fuck, isn't this the guy from a while ago?"

"Who?"

"Auction~ The guy who got 2 million for two websites."

"Oh, now I remember. This isn't a Xiaomi press conference and it doesn't have anything to do with this. Could it be that this guy sold the website and then bought Xiaomi?"

Chen Mo felt the discussions below the stage and thought that the best way was to take them by surprise.

“You may be wondering why it’s not Mr. Lei who is on stage, and who am I? None of this is important tonight. The next product will be very important to everyone, please look at the big screen.”

In fact, according to the original process, you should introduce yourself first, then introduce the guests. Chen Mo skipped the guest speech. Everyone came here for the Xiaomi mobile phone. Who cares who you are at Peking University? Haven’t you met the president and the prime minister enough? Even the traffic stars would be questioned about their college entrance examination scores.

More than half of the people at the scene were college students, and the rest were basically white-collar workers. Although most of them didn't know who the guy on the stage was, as the other party said, it didn't matter.

But this guy got straight to the point and got to the point so efficiently that he won their favor. These days, any event without a speech by a leader needs strong support, and they all applauded and cheered.

The most feared occasions like speeches and press conferences are that the atmosphere becomes cold. Once the atmosphere becomes cold, the effect will drop to the bottom, and even if you want to liven up the atmosphere it will become awkward.

When Lei Jun heard Chen Mo's first words, he felt a little nervous, because this guy was not following the rules again. Fortunately, the feedback from the scene was unexpectedly good, but he still felt a little uneasy. Chen Mo, you have to keep calm.
It means Lei Jun didn't see Chen Mo taking a sip of Erguotou before going on stage, otherwise he would have done it himself.
The light dimmed again and the screen lit up. This was a promotional video for the X1 mobile phone that Xiaomi had spent a lot of money to create.

Xiaomi mobile phone suddenly appeared in front of the world. Perhaps it was due to the lighting arrangement, the majestic epic soundtrack, the national team's god-level dubbing, many BUFF blessings, and many more filters. Especially at the last moment when the Xiaomi X1 screen lit up, the stunning glimpse of the MIOS system came to an abrupt end, and the short film ended.

It was only less than a minute long, but everyone was left wanting more.

There was silence for a few seconds, followed by thunderous applause.

Chen Mo walked from the side of the stage to the center, "Is it good looking?"

"Great!" "Awesome!" "Do it again!"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, there was someone who knew how to do it. It seemed that there was no need to support him. "I think it looks good too. Let's do it again!"

As soon as he said that, he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the scene just now was played out again.

After watching the short film of Xiaomi X1 again, it still gives them goose bumps.

The lights on the stage came on again, and Chen Mo laughed at himself, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by everyone. When I made this short film, I watched it on repeat for a whole day, even while eating~"

Suddenly, someone from the audience said, "Do you want to go to the toilet and watch?" followed by laughter from the crowd.

"Look, why not? Watching the Xiaomi X1 promotional video on my Xiaomi X1 makes me happy even when I'm squatting on the toilet."

The audience burst into laughter.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and said, "This is the answer that Xiaomi has given to everyone: the Xiaomi X1, which was born for enthusiasts."

The next moment, the Xiaomi X1 phone appeared on the screen.
When the Xiaomi phone appeared, the audience burst into applause and cheers.

Chen Mo's lips curled slightly. This was just the beginning. The best was yet to come.

"Everyone has seen the appearance. Are you satisfied?"

"satisfy!"

"Does it look good?"

"nice!"

"Next, Xiaomi X1 not only has the ultimate aesthetics, but also contains even more powerful performance. This is a perfect phone that combines the two! Words are not enough, please take a look."

The next moment, the rear screen showed the hardware configuration information of Xiaomi X1:
Qualcomm dual-core 1.5GHz chip, the world's most powerful chip
"I'm not an expert on mobile phones. These professional terms are for experts. It doesn't matter if you don't understand them. After all, if you want to buy a light bulb, as long as it lights up, who cares how it's made or what the principle is?"

The audience laughed again, thinking that this handsome guy was quite humorous and down-to-earth.
“I don’t understand it either. My role is to let everyone know why this light bulb is better than other light bulbs.

So what is the strength of the Xiaomi X1 equipped with this chip? The main frequency is 200% faster than that of mainstream mobile phones and 25% faster than that of the latest high-end mobile phones.

Maybe if I say it so bluntly, people won’t notice it. If I just talk without practicing, then show me your talent!”

As he spoke, Chen Mo pressed the button on the remote control in his hand, and two sets of horizontally contrasting animations appeared on the screen. The scenes were all about opening the same application on the mobile phone at the same time.

On the left is a certain brand's current mainstream flagship smartphone, on the right is Xiaomi X1, and in the middle there is a capital VS, creating a strong PK atmosphere.

Several mobile phones were changed in succession on the left. Although the brand logos were blocked, knowledgeable digital bloggers could still tell the specific models at a glance.

The effect of saying ten sentences is not as good as comparing them in reality.
Since ancient times, the left side has lost in the game, and it is obvious to the naked eye that Xiaomi X1 is faster. Every time Xiaomi wins a PK, all the audience cheers and whistles.

"This way the comparison will be more intuitive, I hope you like it!"

Chen Mo then introduced the configurations of Xiaomi X1 one by one.

1G RAM and 4G ROM, expandable to support 32G microSD card to meet various needs.

The large 1930 mAh battery has a capacity increase of nearly 1500% compared to the 30 mAh battery found in other mainstream mobile phones, and is equipped with a power-optimizing energy efficiency solution.

After the battery life test, Xiaomi X1 can achieve a standby time of up to 450 hours, continuous calls for 15 hours, continuous video playback for 12 hours, and high-intensity gaming for 6 hours.

It breaks the barrier of regular smartphones requiring one charge per day and allows charging once every two days for normal use.

"In addition, we provide the removable large battery with a classic color scheme that we internally call the Calabash Brothers model, for everyone to choose from!"

The audience laughed.
Sony's aperture + digital image stabilization lens.

High-efficiency graphite heat dissipation film improves heat dissipation efficiency by 30%, and it won’t get hot even after long-term use.

Every time Chen Mo introduced a point, the audience would spontaneously applaud to show their approval.

When all the introductions were finished, "After saying so much, running the score is still the most practical."

Then the screen showed the professional benchmarking software currently available on the market, and the results were basically the same.

There is no suspense about the first place: Xiaomi X1, the second place is Samsung GlaxyS2, and the third place is Motorola's latest flagship phone.

There was a lot of excitement below the stage.

Next, Chen Mo briefly introduced the drop test, steel ball impact, dustproof, button life, and water drop soft pressure test results conducted by various laboratories in mobile phone factories.

"The fact that it can withstand so many tests is enough to demonstrate the outstanding quality and quality behind the powerful performance of Xiaomi X1. All this is due to the all-round optimized architecture based on the body design, which our engineers call the Xuanwu architecture."

The screen shows the internal structure of Xiaomi X1 on the invitation letter of this conference. Then, a mythical beast composed of a turtle and a snake is vaguely added with a halo superposition effect, as if the phone has produced the effect of magic.
Four big characters fell from above: "Jian", "Like", "Pan", and "Shi"

And in the Nanjing Inventec factory, a thousand kilometers away from the press conference.

Several engineers from Xiaomi's hardware team who were live-streaming together asked Zhou Guangping in bewilderment, "Boss? Although our Xiaomi X1 has gone through various rigorous tests and its architecture is indeed very strong, when did you come up with such an awesome name? How come I didn't know about it?"

Zhou Guangping, who was also confused, touched his head and took a breath of the cool air from the air conditioner. "You ask me, who the hell should I ask? But this name is very domineering, Xuanwu? Give the order, everyone should call it the same from now on, our architecture is called Xuanwu architecture!"

Xuanwu, one of the four ancient sacred beasts in Chinese mythology, has an extremely hard body and a lifespan as long as the sky.

The architecture named after this immediately shows how confident Xiaomi is in its product strength. Especially when the four characters "Solid as a Rock" were dropped, accompanied by the sound effect of a falling meteorite, all the audience watching the press conference exclaimed in amazement.

But some people still doubt whether it is a bit exaggerated?

Where is Nokia's face if you say that?
Among all the guests in the audience, Yu Chengdong had the most expressive expression. At the beginning of the press conference, after Chen Mo gave his explanation, he kept his mouth shut.

When the words "ultimate aesthetics", "peak performance", "horizontal PK" and especially "Xuanwu architecture" came out, his mouth opened wider and wider.

His mind suffered a great mental shock. The last time he saw a similar press conference was at Apple’s Steve Jobs’ press conference. This time he felt that the shock he received was even more intense. He didn’t expect that an ordinary press conference could be played out like this?

At the end of the hardware section is the matrix diagram of Xiaomi’s suppliers: dozens of companies including Samsung, Sony, Philips, and Qualcomm.

“Thanks to the above suppliers for their great support. There are too many to list one by one. You can take a look.”

After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Mo continued, "After saying so much, I still have to look at something. What I have in my hand is Xiaomi X1."

As he spoke, Chen Mo directly took out the absolute protagonist of this press conference from the pocket of his jeans.
Perhaps because he was too eager to introduce the product to everyone, Chen Mo made too big a movement when taking out his phone. The Xiaomi X1 seemed to be caught in his trouser pocket and flew out of his hand about two meters away.

The Xiaomi X1 flew in a beautiful parabola in the air, then fell to the stage and bounced twice. The back cover and removable battery of the phone disintegrated and broke apart from the phone due to the severe impact.

The audience watched the Xiaomi X1 being torn into pieces on the big screen in the middle of the stage, and the cameraman was so unscrupulous that he took a close-up.

Such a scene of death before achieving any success made the scene so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a few seconds of dead silence, the whole audience burst into uproar.
The guests in the first two rows of the audience sat up straight. After boasting about the quality of this phone for a long time, if it gets broken, Xiaomi will have failed.

They looked at the stage and then at Lei Jun, and found that the latter's face was calm. While admiring his composure, they were prepared to wait and see how the situation would develop next.

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast online were even more arguing.

"Oh shit, it's over, it's a complete disaster at the press conference"

"Isn't this handsome guy fired by Mr. Lei on the spot?"

“I don’t know if Xiaomi has a spare phone.”

"Awesome! Throwing a phone at a press conference, even novels wouldn't dare to write about it!"

“Why do I feel like this press conference is even better, haha~”

"If I were this handsome guy on the stage, I would have already thought about where I would be buried after the press conference."

"Hahahaha, Lei Jun, ah Lei Jun, you've done so many good things, but now you have come to this day! You still think you're as solid as a rock? You must have been hit on the foot by the rock."

Huang Zhang looked at the non-still picture on the screen, which seemed like a still picture, and then heard the exclamations of the audience from the speakers, and he felt very happy in his heart.

Then he found that the young man did not show any panic on his face. He must have been scared silly. He probably wanted to die. Before this, the young man had behaved very well. What a pity.
But the subsequent developments at the press conference made the smile on Huang Zhang's face disappear
Chen Mo didn't have the desire to die. Even though he had rehearsed countless times beforehand and the stage was made of wooden floor, he was still a little nervous!

Chen Mo walked forward a few steps and picked up the phone, battery and back cover. Just like assembling a gun, he assembled the Xiaomi X1 with a few clicks, and then he took out a handkerchief from somewhere to wipe the dust off it.

After the dust is wiped off, the Xiaomi X1 looks exactly like a new one.
Then turn on the phone.
Xiaomi LOGO lights up
I know everyone is anxious, and I am anxious too, so I will send out the remaining ones after 12 midnight.
