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

Chapter 157 1999, Make a Friend (Two in One)

When the MIOS system interface came into everyone's eyes, the audience burst into applause.

The cheers, applause, and whistles of the people almost blew off the ceiling of the Centennial Auditorium.

In the online and offline discussions, the two words "wow" and "awesome" have become the most frequently used words.
The Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference has not yet ended, but the news of Xiaomi's first crash has appeared on the Internet, which shows that the media are very dedicated.
Lei Jun slowly leaned his body against the back of the chair and felt a chill on his back, which was the feeling of sweat soaking his shirt. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very panicked.

He knew that Chen Mo was going to fall, but he didn't know that Chen Mo would fall so hard. Just now his heart seemed to fly to the ground and break into pieces just like the Xiaomi X1. He is still a little scared. Next time when he lets this kid hold a press conference, he will have to prepare quick-acting heart pills in advance.

When it comes to the software part, Chen Mo feels as familiar as if he is back home. This is his field.

The screen above the stage was split into two, with a close-up of Chen Mo on the left and a real-time image of the mobile phone screen on the right.

Chen Mo seemed to have turned into a magician and was performing magic shows.

The Xiaomi X1, perfectly equipped with MIOS, can improve the performance of MIOS by 30%, creating an effect where one plus one is far greater than two.

Unlocked dual system, flash the system at will without fear.

The MIOS forum provides both mios and Android installation packages for Mi fans to choose from.

There are a variety of theme stores with ever-changing lock screen animations, and there is always one that suits you.

Based on deeply customized development of Android 2.3, system efficiency is improved by 100%.

It took Chen Mo nearly 20 minutes to demonstrate the latest updated features of MIOS, with several rounds of applause in between.

Then he smiled mysteriously, "Next we are honored to have a mysterious guest here, let him say hello to everyone, please welcome the founder of the Android system, Mr. Andy Rubin to come on stage and say a few words to everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience in the front row stood up and tried to find the real culprit.

Then a slightly bald foreign uncle came on stage and warmly hugged and shook hands with Chen Mo. Who else could it be but Andy Rubin.

Chen Mo left the venue and space to him.

The audience applauded warmly. After all, Android has surpassed Symbian to become the second largest operating system.

It was then that Chen Mo's fans on Weibo realized the clues.
"Fuck, I know why this guy's voice sounded familiar at the auction. Isn't this the voice of the Android father interviewed in the VCR?"

"Damn it, the reminder from someone upstairs just made me realize that the entrepreneurial genius, the person in charge of MIOS, and the current host are all the same person!!"

"Uh, did everyone forget one of my identities? The Sweeping Monk!"

"It's so fucking ridiculous. Are there really geniuses in this world? He looks like he just graduated a few years ago. How can people be so different from each other?"

"I just don't know if this handsome guy is married."

"Go ahead, sisters. As long as you use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug."

"I found out that Xiaomi's official website has information about the co-founder. If I'm not mistaken, this guy's name is Chen Mo!"

"Wow, even his name is so poetic, he is worthy of being the man I like."

On Weibo’s real-time hot list, Chen Mo’s entry directly entered the top ten, and a few minutes later it went straight to number one, becoming the real number one on the list.

When someone who doesn't understand the meaning clicks on it, they find a long list of titles following it.

Chen·Father of MIOS·Diamond Chen Xiaowu·Creator of WeChat·Spokesperson of Xiaomi·Billionaire entrepreneurial pioneer·Mobile phone master Sweeping Monk·Record holder for the first fall of Xiaomi X1·To be continued·Silence!

Especially when photos of Xiaomi's press conference were leaked online, the handsome Chen Mo became an idol sought after by netizens.

The number of fans instantly broke through the three million mark and continued to grow westward.

Now Chen Mo had no idea what was happening on the Internet. He just watched Andy Rubin flattering MIOS on the stage while drinking the mineral water handed to him by his assistant.

After all, he had drunk some wine and talked so much that his throat was a little dry.

Two or three minutes later, Andy Rubin announced some previews of the next version of Android, and at the end he sincerely thanked Chen Mo and the MIOS team for their continued support for the Android system. He then handed over the work to Chen Mo amid applause from the crowd and left the stage in an orderly manner.

After thanking his old friend Andy Rubin, Chen Mo continued with the following process.

I opened WeChat on Xiaomi X1.

"WeChat is a software developed by Xiaomi. It is a social communication tool designed specifically for smartphones. At this press conference, WeChat was also significantly updated to V1.2. This version has two new features, namely, voice messages and Moments."

"Here it comes, it finally arrived during the press conference"

With a crackle, crackle, crackle sound, the empty can in Zhang Xiaolong's hand was crushed by him.

The core team members of WeChat did not go home after get off work, but stayed in the conference room to watch the live broadcast of Xiaomi's press conference together.

Because Zhang Xiaolong had a hunch that WeChat might have new moves.

He thought there would be new moves, but he didn't expect them to be so big.

Other friends present complained,
"After copying the message in a bottle and QQ groups, they are now even copying the TalkBox function! Does Xiaomi have any shame?"

"I had a good impression of the Xiaomi X1 phone just now, but now I will never buy a Xiaomi phone!"

"Come on, TalkBox released its voice, didn't we copy it? We are allowed to prevent fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps. Don't be so hypocritical."

"Why do you say that? Where the hell are you from?"

"Don't be such a jerk. If you have the ability, just innovate and create some new features. Don't you think it's shameful to always follow others? I can't afford to embarrass myself." After saying this, the programmer in charge of the underlying technology of WeChat Chat slammed the door and left.

"Zhao Peng, come back here."

The technical leader who was in charge of managing him stood up and tried to catch up, but was interrupted by Zhang Xiaolong.

"Okay! Let him be. I'll talk to Zhao Peng tomorrow." Zhang Xiaolong took control of the situation.

"Everyone, please stop talking nonsense. The voice service provider didn't copy it. If they really copied it, how could they have launched it in just a week? They are all technical experts, so please stop talking nonsense. When will our voice service be launched?"

"The earliest will be the end of this month."

"Hurry up, the Moments will also be added to the launch plan, and the launch time will remain unchanged."

Zhang Xiaolong looked at the young man on the screen and felt a little upset.

He didn't want to copy it, but after hearing the introduction, he felt that this function was indeed very cool. What else could he do if he didn't copy it?
We are just copying now and there is not enough time, so how can we have time to consider other functions with unknown effects after they are launched?

How can it be?

At the same time, Fetion's Hong Xiaojun stared at the live broadcast of Xiaomi's press conference with burning eyes, his heart full of envy, looking at their efficiency.

TalkBox released the voice message service, and WeChat released its own version in less than a week.

Although he knew that the development of WeChat voice must have been underway for a long time, such efficiency was unimaginable for the Fetion team.

The man on the screen, who looked a few years younger than him, talked about WeChat and then went on to talk about Xiaomi's journey to make mobile phones through the Internet model, a triathlon business model of software + hardware + Internet.

Compared with Xiaomi's new model, Fetion's current R&D process is like an old lady's foot binding cloth, and from time to time this cloth can be tied into a knot.

Sometimes when he was having dinner and chatting with a few colleagues, he found that everyone more or less had the idea of ​​not wanting to work at Fetion anymore.

After talking about hardware, software, and business model, the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference lasted nearly an hour, and it was time for Chen Mo to start talking about the value of storytelling.

屏幕中出现了几组数字，2、5、8、132、267、108万、300万、3亿。

“Everyone knows that Xiaomi was founded by Lei Jun, but the idea of ​​making a mobile phone took him two years to think about.

He then convened the original five co-founders to establish Xiaomi.

Over a period of 8 months, the entire Xiaomi team of 132 people worked hard for a full 267 days.

The number of Mi fans is 108 million, the installed capacity of MIOS has exceeded 300 million, and the cumulative R&D investment is 3 million yuan.

All of this has led to the Xiaomi X1 that you see in my hand today!

I hope you can understand that since the establishment of Xiaomi, countless Xiaomi students have devoted countless days and nights, and their precious youth. All of this is done for you. For "

At the end, his voice even trembled slightly, and he could no longer speak.
The next moment, Chen Mo turned his back to the stage, his shoulders shaking slightly from time to time.

The screen switched, and everyone watching the press conference was moved and shocked when they saw the images on the screen and the spokesperson in the center of the stage who was so excited that he choked up.

This time, no one cheered or whistled, only applause continued to ring out, and it extended endlessly to express their respect. Many people even stood up spontaneously, and some female audience members with a low tear point even cried out loud.
Lei Jun, who was in the middle of the first row, recalled the ups and downs and difficulties along the way. His eyes were red and he was very moved. It was too difficult for him along the way, and he was deeply moved by the atmosphere around him.
Ten seconds later, Lei Jun calmed down and saw that the whole audience was still immersed in the atmosphere just now. His first reaction was that what Chen Mo said was really awesome and he made the right choice for the press conference. His second reaction was that it was bad. Was the price of Xiaomi X1 too low? Now even if it was sold at 2999, it would be a challenge.

Qiu Bojun next to Lei Jun nodded, saying that starting a business is indeed not easy.

However, when he saw the excited expressions and impatient mentality of the people around him, one by one they turned into curled lips, there was no need for Jiang Ziya to do so. Now even a child could be caught with a straight hook.

I still couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I didn't expect that this young man on the stage had such a deep ability to spread emotions.

Luo Yonghao, who was standing in the corner below the stage, watched this scene with tears in his eyes. This was the best result of his "My Struggle" speech tour across the country in the past two years. Any young person who has devoted all his youth to fighting for his dream deserves his admiration.

In fact, Luo Yonghao claims to be a person who has a high tear point, but I don’t know why, when I heard the words “I give everything for you”, I felt inexplicably empathetic.
If someone says that he is not a good English teacher, he will accept it with pleasure. But if someone says that his public speaking skills are not good, Luo Yonghao will get angry with that person.

But if that person is the guy on the stage, Luo Yonghao can only pinch his nose and express his approval.

Countless people online and offline were moved
No one noticed the casual smile on Chen Mo's lips as he turned his back to the stage.

After forcing his eyes not to blink for nearly a minute, his eyes finally became moist due to the stimulation. The applause continued, and Chen Mo slowly turned around and took out the handkerchief from his suit pocket to wipe away his "tears". Perhaps the dust from wiping the phone on the handkerchief got into his eyes, causing Chen Mo's eyes to turn red, and his appeal reached a new level.

"Come on, Xiaomi!" "We support you!" "Don't cry, handsome guy, can't I buy you the phone?" Countless words of encouragement were heard from all around.

This made him press his hands down again and again, and this happened several times before the applause and support gradually faded away.

In Chen Mo's heart, the little man with devil horns was screaming wildly.
But he said, "I'm sorry for making everyone laugh at my gaffe just now."

"Ahem. I was embarrassed just now. Okay, let's stop!" Chen Mo stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, then changed his palm into a fist and clenched it suddenly.

The originally chaotic sounds from above and below disappeared instantly, which was enough to show that Chen Mo's previous performance had already won the hearts of the people, so he could achieve such a control effect, which was comparable to military training!
"Let's get back to the topic. Before we announce the price, please allow me to introduce the guests who are attending the press conference. First is Mr. Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Technology and my boss!"

Lei Jun stood up, put on his signature shy smile, turned around and waved to the back, and the applause was warm.

"Chairman of Kingsoft, Qiu Bojun"

“Kai-Fu Lee, founder of Sinovation Ventures.”

"Gionee Mobile President, Lu Weibing"

"Huawei's head of terminals, Yu Da. Yu Chengdong."

At this time, Chen Mo introduced the guest lineup again. Every time he introduced a guest, the guest stood up for a close-up and greeted everyone.

The audience showed great tolerance and support, and never hesitated to applaud.

"After the guest introduction, I'm sure everyone is eagerly waiting. What is the price of Xiaomi X1?"

Chen Mo paused deliberately and changed the subject, "Before announcing the price, let's take a look at the prices of other flagship smartphones on the market."

The image on the large screen at the rear switched again, and Chen's comparison method was unveiled to the world for the first time, horizontally displaying the configuration information and prices of multiple models, and marking the Xiaomi X1 phone in gold alone.

"As you can see, the most expensive one is Samsung's Galaxy S2, priced at 4999 yuan, and the cheapest one is LG 2X, priced at 2575 yuan (parallel import). As we all know, parallel imports can be several hundred yuan cheaper than official ones, so flagship models are generally priced around to yuan.

Through the large screen, we can see at a glance that Xiaomi Mi X1 has fully upgraded its hardware configuration.”

This time it is no longer a one-on-one fight but a group fight, with Xiaomi Mobile competing against other competitors and beating up several others.

“让我们再来回顾下小米X1的特点，双核1.5G最强芯片、1930毫安大电池、1G大容量兼备可扩展SD卡存储、800万像素真色彩镜头、4寸高清龙晶大屏、坚如磐石的玄武架构、七彩个性化电池
The advantages are simply too numerous to mention, and the most important one is that it is 100% perfectly compatible with MIOS, which will bring more than 30% improvement to each other.

This is a cross-era smart flagship phone with both ultimate aesthetics and top performance.

This gives me the confidence to say this to all the guests, all the media reporters, and all the friends watching the press conference.

Xiaomi X1 has no rivals in the same price range and is absolutely far ahead.

So what is the price of Xiaomi X1? Before the price is announced, why not guess the price? "

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, he heard a series of offers coming from below.
"4999?" "No."

"3999?" "NONONO!"

"3500" "Still not right"

"Whoever shouted 6000, drag him out and chop him off~"

The fans and audiences in the audience laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was very happy and warm.

The online comment section was also filled with various numbers, and someone even put an outrageous price of 12999.
While everyone was guessing the price, the picture on the big screen above the stage changed again. The models of mobile phones were arranged vertically, with the brand logos on top and the prices at the bottom. Xiaomi was in the center, and there was an orange question mark in the price column below.

"So what is the price of Xiaomi mobile phones? We were still discussing this issue this morning and were very confused. Finally, at the suggestion of Mr. Lei, we made a bold decision that went against our ancestors.

That is."

Just when everyone was eagerly waiting, thinking that the price would be announced soon, they heard the man on the stage say,
".Let me drink some water first."

At this time, Chen Mo bent down, picked up the mineral water, and drank it tactically.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Chen, the master of playing with fire, the military training instructor, Mo, pressed the remote control in his hand as if pressing a detonator.

Just as there were moans and cries of "Ah~~~~~" from the audience, and then they turned into exclamations, everyone stared at the picture on the big screen in amazement.

Other brands in the picture were gradually frozen into ice sculptures, and then a meteorite flew out from the mysterious void, oxidized by the atmosphere and wrapped in orange flames, and finally the burning meteorite fell and broke the ice.

Accompanied by the explosion sound effect produced by the whistling landing and the crash to the ground,

The ground was burning with orange flames, forming four numbers: 1999
Then four big words slowly appeared on it, "Make a friend!"

All rise!

At this moment, whether online or offline, all the audience watching the live broadcast of Xiaomi's press conference burst into unprecedented cheers, and the monkeys on both sides of the river could not stop crying.

At this moment, everyone went crazy and the press conference reached its climax that night.
At the same time, the Peking University students who were studying seriously in the Peking University Library frowned at the same time and looked towards the Centennial Auditorium. Why was there so much noise over there? Was there a fire?
Deafening cheers rang out simultaneously in many Internet cafes around Peking University, making other netizens who did not know the truth think that the men's football team had qualified for the World Cup.

The online community was in an uproar, with people going crazy over the number 1999. Whether it was Youku, Sina, Tieba or forums, the comment sections were all flooded with various interjections.

In Room 807 of Yingu Building and Innovent Factory, countless Xiaomi employees ignored the fact that they were working and were laughing with tears in their eyes, cheering and hugging each other, enjoying the victory at the moment.

They dedicated their most sincere love and most precious youth to Xiaomi and to this moment that is destined to go down in the history of China's Internet.

Not only the audience and netizens went crazy, but also countless domestic competitors who were paying attention to this conference went crazy. They only had one idea: Xiaomi had overturned the table, so what the hell were they going to do afterwards?
They looked at the four big words "Make a Friend" on the screen and gritted their teeth. Xiaomi, you will have no friends if you do this.

At the same time, two special calls were going on between Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
Everyone at the press conference stood up and applauded. The screams and applause that almost blew the ceiling off lasted for nearly a minute without any sign of abating. This shows how much of a surprise this price brought to them.

Everyone was still venting their emotions, and then they heard a clear voice coming from the stage and the headphones, "My name is Chen Mo, Chen is Chen Mo's Chen, and Mo is Mo who was born for fever!"

"Chen Mo!" "Chen Mo!" "Chen Mo!" "Chen Mo!" With someone taking the lead, the voices gradually became unified, and the momentum was unmatched.

You should know that the price of mobile phones with the same configuration is around 4000 yuan, and the Xiaomi X1 phone directly reduces the price by half.

This shocking price, coupled with the animated special effects used to announce the price, is extremely dramatic.

At this moment, Chen Mo, transformed into Xiaomi spokesperson, became the absolute protagonist of the whole venue, enjoying the glory of being the center of attention and cheers.

Lei Jun, who was originally smiling and applauding along with those around him, his face changed slightly when he heard the audience shouting Chen Mo's name. His heart skipped a beat and thought, Oh no, I've become a stand-in.

Lei Jun then continued to smile and applaud, but his eyes became somewhat ambiguous.
In the heated press conference, some people even excitedly shouted in the audience: "Chen Busi!" Good-natured laughter rang out at the scene.

Perhaps this press conference had a similar effect to Apple's first press conference, or perhaps Chen Mo's jeans and sneakers were somewhat similar to what Jobs wore at the Apple press conference, which made people make associations.

"NONONO, I don't want to be Chen Busi. Maybe you can call Jobs Qiao Mo in the future? Haha, just a little joke."

The "fire" in the Centennial Lecture Hall finally showed signs of being extinguished after burning for nearly 5 minutes, and the fiery atmosphere finally calmed down.

“Since even the removable battery has become colorful, we have also brought two colors for the back cover of Xiaomi X1: Diamond Black and Lava Orange for everyone to choose from!”

The exclamations rang out again. Chen Mo looked at the time on his phone. The climax just now lasted a little too long, a bit too late. Chen Mo prepared to speed up.

"I boldly say that Xiaomi X1 is the best smartphone under 3000 yuan. The next piece of information is very important, that is, how can everyone own Xiaomi X1?
After the press conference, considering the travel time of users on site, tomorrow, January 1 at 2 am, Xiaomi will release 10 units of the Xiaomi X1 fever version for everyone to buy. These 1 units are in stock. "

Chen Mo ignored the applause and continued, "I want to emphasize that for this audiophile version of the X1, there will be a unique number within 1 yuan on the lower right corner of the back of the phone, and a Xiaomi X1 postcard will be included with it, with Mr. Lei or my autograph, with a random chance, just to show my appreciation.

Pre-sale will then start with a deposit of 300 yuan. Xiaomi X1 will be shipped in the order of deposit payment. Please make an order carefully. Pay attention to the color of the phone and battery before choosing, as there are red prompts on them.

The deposit is non-refundable after placing an order. Please note this!

The first release date of Xiaomi X1 is scheduled for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in 2011, which is February 2, at 10 a.m. You can pay the balance at that time and then proceed with the subsequent delivery process.

The key information about the specific sale was displayed on the big screen, and it was very clear with Chen Mo's explanation.

"Xiaomi Technology is a responsible company. Since Xiaomi X1 is our first generation product, there will definitely be some unsatisfactory aspects, but our after-sales service promises that if there are any problems not caused by human factors, we will provide a one-year replacement and a three-year warranty. For details, please refer to the after-sales details on the official website."

The press conference actually came to an end here.

"Finally, I would like to thank the country, this era, all the guests present, Mi fans and all the friends who support and follow Xiaomi. Finally, I would also like to thank my boss, Mr. Lei Jun, for giving me the opportunity to be on stage, and thank my colleagues in all departments of Xiaomi."

Just like at the award ceremony, Chen Mo called out the names of a group of people to thank them. Zhou Guangping, Huang Jiangji, Li Jianchao and others were all on the list, even Li Wanqiang was included, showing his vision.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. As you can see, Xiaomi has just started and needs more like-minded partners. So I'd like to advertise here. Currently, all positions in Xiaomi are in urgent need of fresh blood. If you are interested, you can log in to Xiaomi's official website and check the recruitment section. Peking University students are especially welcome to come for internships or applications~"

Many people responded in the audience, "Okay~" "No problem!" "The resumes are all ready, I'll send them out when I get back."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Chen Mo clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

"Actually, our press conference has come to an end. I still have a few words in my heart that I want to talk to you about. I think the Xiaomi X1 is definitely a product that we have worked hard on and made with sincerity.

If you like it, we will be honored and you can help promote it. If you think Xiaomi X1 is not good in any way, please tell us through my or Lei Jun’s Weibo or official forum, and we will listen carefully and make improvements.

Maybe Xiaomi has not done enough in the future, please be more tolerant, and be more lenient with your words online, otherwise I will bow to you all in advance. "

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he stood at attention, put his hands close to his legs, and respectfully bowed 90 degrees. He paused for a full 5 seconds, showing his sincerity.

Finally, the PPT played to the last page.

"It's finally time to say goodbye to everyone. Finally, on behalf of all the colleagues at Xiaomi Technology, I would like to thank everyone for their support. This press conference ends here. We will see you at the next press conference!"

Chen Mo looked at the faces of the people in the audience who supported Xiaomi and were smiling enthusiastically because of their love for the product. At a certain moment, he seemed to see his former self in them.

He waved his arms vigorously at everyone, smiling brightly, as if he was saying goodbye to his past self.

The audience on the stage also responded enthusiastically by waving their hands. The picture was frozen at this moment of two-way running, and then the stage lights went out.
Chen Mo, who was in the dark, only then realized that his T-shirt had been soaked with sweat, and there were traces of tears on his face.
He only knew that at this point, Xiaomi was successful!
The Xiaomi press conference ended successfully, and the effect exceeded everyone's expectations.
The road to Xiaomi X1's launch has just begun.
