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

Chapter 228 Both Take Off
After all, Xiaomi's other business is different, so the statistical content in the display screen is also different.

The picture on Xiaomi's screen only shows the sales statistics of Redmi, and on the right is a time/sales trend chart.

The situation on the other side is complicated. In fact, the large screen in the hall originally only displayed WeChat data. Currently, the cumulative number of WeChat users has begun to approach 3 million, so this data is inflated.

The monthly active users are currently stable at around 1 million. According to the current number of 3 million domestic smartphone users, one in every two people is using WeChat. WeChat has now become the undisputed leader of China's mobile social software.

Looking around the world, it is also a leading company. It's not that Chen Mo does not want to enter the overseas market. The main reason is that now Bi'an, like Xiaomi, is losing money to gain publicity and has no money.

Now only QQ can surpass WeChat, not the mobile QQ but its daddy: QQ.

Currently, QQ has about 7 million monthly active users, and Tencent is still a dominant force in the social field.

The several screens on the right side of the WeChat screen respectively count the data of Bi'an Assistant and various mobile games.

Statistics are also compiled based on dimensions such as the number of downloads and installations, number of user registrations, number of daily active users, and trend charts.

These LED screens are laid out flat across an entire wall, and at first glance they look like the surveillance screens in science fiction movies.

This is what Chen Mo wanted to do to make all employees on the other side aware of the current development of the company's business.

At 9:55, following the boss's unreasonable order, the Redmi phone and Bi'an Assistant went online almost at the same time.

The data on the screen began to take off.
On August 2011, 8, it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning.

Countless netizens were waiting for 10 o'clock, but many people found that they could buy Redmi phones and download Bi'an Assistant at 9:55. This made many rule-abiding people curse, saying that Lei Jun and Chen Mo had no moral ethics!
After 10 o'clock, although there were terms such as "Redmi phone 799, on sale at 10 o'clock!" and "Bi'an Assistant coming at 10 o'clock" on Sina Weibo's hot search list, above them were "Lei Jun! Chen Mo!".

Why not wait until 10 o'clock? This is because high-concurrency scenarios such as flash sales will cause the server to be overloaded and cause lag.

If the game is released a few minutes in advance, many users will download and purchase the product in advance, which can effectively relieve the pressure on the server and avoid traffic jams.

Lei Jun, who has 300 million Redmi phones in stock, moved a chair to the center and sat there, looking at the rising trend charts and data on the screen without any panic.

Only 5 units were sold in 2 minutes, no big deal.

But after 10 o'clock, the curve on the screen seemed to be equipped with a rocket's second-stage thruster, and it took off vertically, reached the threshold, and then went up in a straight line.
That's because the huge amount of user traffic impacts the server load.
In just 90 seconds, 10 Redmi H1 phones were sold out.

Lei Jun stood up suddenly because he could no longer sit still. Even though he had repeatedly overestimated the purchasing power of users, he now found that he had still underestimated it.

90 in 10 seconds, 900 million in 300 seconds. With my limited assets of million, I will have to give up the fight in less than an hour at this speed?
Lei Jun quickly ran to the conference room and held an impromptu remote telephone conference with several factory managers. According to the previously agreed emergency plan, they began to implement the highest level, which was that workers worked in two shifts to maximize the production capacity of the Redmi H1 mobile phone.

In addition, several production lines originally belonging to Xiaomi X1 were changed to be used for the production capacity of Redmi mobile phones.

An hour later when Lei Jun came out of the meeting, there were only more than 1 Redmi H70 units left in stock.

But the pre-sale of Redmi today is a foregone conclusion, and Lei Jun originally thought that it would not be useful this time.

Thinking of the solemn declaration he made at the press conference, Lei Jun felt a little slapped in the face for a moment.

In 1 hour and 36 minutes, all 300 million Redmi H1s were sold out, and Xiaomi started pre-sales again.

At the same time, Lei Jun posted a "confession of guilt" on Sina Weibo.

"Well, let me first apologize to everyone. Xiaomi really underestimated the enthusiasm of the Mi fans. I will go to the factory to supervise the work on site so that everyone can buy a Redmi phone!"

Soon, netizens on Weibo began to comment below.

"Xiao Lei, although it's an improvement over last time, it's still a little disappointing!"

"Damn, my stupid boss has a meeting right after work. I waited for the Redmi phone to come out but couldn't get it in stock. Now he tells me that the delivery time is within a week."

"Let the workers on the assembly line work day and night. Even the donkeys in the production team dare not take a break!"

"Mr. Lei, I found that the Redmi H1 has a fatal problem. How about you send me one to test it carefully and tell me the problem by the way!"

However, Lei Jun did not see any of these comments. After he posted on Weibo, he directly gathered everyone, opened the door of another conference room, and asked Lin Bin to distribute the Redmi H1 in the box to everyone as an employee benefit to celebrate the sale of 300 million units of Xiaomi.

After all, this has become a tradition of Xiaomi, that is, no matter how hard the situation is, employees must not suffer. This was a rule set by Chen Mo when he was still at Xiaomi, and Lei Jun felt that it was right.

He found that as long as he treated his employees as human beings and gave them corresponding rewards, these people's spirit and energy would be highly integrated with Xiaomi, they would be in the same mind as the company, and they would have strong subjective initiative, which would bring various positive feedbacks.

The benefits to the company as a whole far outweigh the disadvantages, and the same applies to the production line. The workers have a higher base salary, more subsidies, better accommodation and living conditions, a better working environment, and normal overtime pay. The more they work, the more they earn, so the workers work very hard.

Especially at BYD and Foxconn, the mental outlook and work output of the workers responsible for Xiaomi's OEM production can be seen to be different on the surface, and are obviously much higher than those of other brands' OEM production.

After finishing all this, he originally planned to go straight to the airport, but when he reached the elevator, he thought about it, twisted his heels, and walked upstairs. Then he saw Chen Mo sitting on a chair in the middle of the venue, drinking wolfberry tea from a thermos cup, looking at the data on the screen, leisurely and comfortable.

"You are quite comfortable, how are the statistics?"

"Here, check it out for yourself~" Chen Mo saw Brother Lei coming, but didn't stand up. He just nodded towards the screen.

The download and installation volume of Bi'an Assistant is 625 million, and the number of users is 572 million.

Then Lei Jun looked to the right and looked at the data of four new mobile games released by Bi'an.

"Crazy Chicken" has 373 million users, 268 million of whom are online.

The number of users of "Candy Crush Saga" is 448 million, and 381 million are online.

"World of Warcraft Legend" has 239 million users, 142 million of whom are online.

"Ancient War" has 203 million users, 122 million of whom are online.

Looking at the curve of data that is still slowly climbing over time, Lei Jun knows that the current data is far from the limit of these games.

You should know that these data do not include Redmi, because the Redmi phone is still on the way.

It is conceivable that in a few days, as Redmi phones reach consumers, these figures will at least double.

This guy Chen Mo has succeeded!
Lei Jun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have invested more in Bi'an. But 8% is still too little.

He smiled and said, "The data looks pretty good~"

Although Chen Mo is very prestigious and dignified in the eyes of everyone in the company, he still looks a little out of tune in front of Lei Jun.
"Madamadane, this is just the beginning. I want to be the king of Chinese mobile games. There is no need to worry about insufficient production capacity on the other side."

Lei Jun's smile froze, and he felt as if his heart had been stabbed. He could not continue chatting that day. Their friendship was over.
"Okay, I'll come over to take a look, now I'm leaving!"

"Hey~ Let's have lunch together?"

"What the hell, I'm still worried about Xiaomi's production capacity!" Lei Jun said, and left this place of trouble in a hurry.

After Lei Jun left, Chen Mo reacted and checked online and saw Lei Jun's confession.
He couldn't help but feel a little numb when he saw a group of creditors asking for payment under Lei Jun's Weibo post.

What's worse, he thought that 300 million units could last for two or three days, but in the end they couldn't even last for two or three hours.

It can be seen that Chinese consumers have suffered from copycat phones for a long time, just like gamers have suffered from penguins for a long time.
Chen Mo stretched and stood up. The outcome was decided!

Even though Chen Mo is living a peaceful life now, the technical team is still carrying the heavy burden.

Xu Chaojun led the technical team and worked closely with Sun Ziwei's game division.

There's nothing we can do, the players are too enthusiastic.

The servers were packed as soon as they were launched, but we had the technical accumulation from WeChat’s previous popular launch and a relatively comprehensive plan.

Peak shaving and flow control, locked areas and queuing, plus temporary opening of additional areas and servers for capacity expansion. Although there were many players, the other side's technical team was proceeding in an orderly manner, and overall it was safe.

Chen Mo just occasionally looked over and didn't say anything, letting Xu Chaojun and Sun Ziwei handle it on their own.

The current data far exceeds my expectations.

What does this mean? If an online game has an average of more than 100 million online players, it is a milestone achievement.

Which online games have reached this milestone?
"Dungeon & Fighter", "Cross Fire", "World of Warcraft", "Zhengtu", "Fantasy Westward Journey", etc., each of them has become a classic of a generation.

Some of them have been popular for more than ten years, such as "Fantasy Westward Journey" can still be played, and "World of Warcraft" is still nostalgic.
As for mobile games, they are more convenient and have a higher number of online players than online games. However, exceeding one million online players in one day is still a record-breaking achievement.

Especially just now he went to the finance department to check the current revenue, and the total revenue exceeded one million in one hour.

From now on, I will be a man earning tens of thousands per minute!

At noon, I’ll have a chicken drumstick from Shaxian Snacks as a reward for myself.

You should know that the data from the newly launched service is only in the initial stage. Just like Redmi's production capacity, it is still in the climbing stage and is far from reaching its peak.

The four gold-eating beasts had just awakened from their sleep and were seeing this world with sleepy eyes. They had not yet started to exert their strength.

It can be imagined that as the red rice arrives one after another and is promoted through all channels,
After 3 days, it will be the peak.
