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

Chapter 230 Two Catfishes of the Internet
Shenzhen, this time it’s not Tencent, but Meizu.

Huang Zhang held a rare executive meeting. There was only one page on the screen in the conference room, which was Xiaomi's freshly released data battle report.

It broke 90 in 1 seconds and 36 million in hour and minutes, with sales of million on the first day, setting a new record for smartphone sales in China.

Each word deeply hurt Huang Zhang's fragile and sensitive heart.

Currently, due to the impact of production capacity, the sales of Meizu M9 can only reach more than units per month, and as of now, it is about to break one million units.

What about Xiaomi X1? It has sold more than million units. You may not be afraid of not knowing the product, but you may be afraid of comparing the product and throwing it away.

Even the newly released Redmi H1 achieved this sales volume in one day.

The price of M9 was later reduced to 1999. In people's eyes, it is money, but 799 is not money? When did the consumption level of the people become so high?

After watching Xiaomi's press conference, Huang Zhang tossed and turned, unable to figure out why Meizu was inferior to Xiaomi?
Didn't I just buy it a few hundred dollars more expensive when I released it in advance? Didn't I just not hold a press conference?
Huang Zhang figured it out. Humph, Lei Jun is just lucky and has a good friend, otherwise Redmi’s sales would probably be halved!

But no matter how unwilling you are, you still have to do it.

At least Lei Jun did a good thing, which was to explore the way for Meizu in advance and prove that it could compete in the mixed market of thousand-yuan phones.

Later in the meeting, Huang Zhang decided that Meizu would follow Xiaomi's example and create a new brand based on the development of MX next year, focusing on producing a very cost-effective thousand-yuan phone that would target the low-end market and would be released at a press conference early next year.

Since ancient times, red and blue cannot coexist!
Since you named it Redmi, sorry, we will call it Meizu Blue!

Finally, Huang Zhang named this new brand "Mei Blue". He originally wanted to call the English name "Mei Blue", but after thinking about it, he realized that Mei Blue did not have the color blue, so he simply changed it to "No Blue".

Li Nan was appointed as the head of Meizu Blue, with full responsibility for all work related to the Meizu Blue brand.

The emergence of Redmi started a war in the domestic thousand-yuan phone market. Following Meizu, many mobile phone manufacturers, whether China Cool Alliance or OV blue and green factories, began to create various "cost-effective" thousand-yuan phones, and an arms race quietly started.

At this time, a fat man named Luo Yonghao, after watching the Xiaomi press conference, finally made up his mind that he wanted to make a mobile phone. In his eyes, the mobile phones on the market now were full of loopholes and shortcomings from appearance to system, except for MIOS which was acceptable.

So he wants to make an awesome mobile phone that can step on Apple and beat Xiaomi!

There are undercurrents in the mobile phone industry, and some in the security field are also eyeing it covetously.

After seeing the installation volume of Bi'an Mobile Assistant, Zhou Hongyi's eyes turned green. The Internet is a race against time, and often one step behind requires several times the investment to catch up.

WeChat and Weichat are the best examples. Weichat was two months later than WeChat, but look at how Pony Ma is still suffering after spending billions of dollars.

The original normal progress of 360 Mobile Assistant was to be launched at the end of September, but after the deadline given by Zhou Hongyi, it was moved to the end of August.

Now Zhou Hongyi still felt that the current situation was a bit slow, so he directly ordered to move it forward another week.

After a while, the technical director came over with a bitter face and reported, "Boss Zhou, we really can't move forward any further. Now everyone basically works until 11 or 2 o'clock, and some people have even stayed in the company. The technical team almost rioted and buried me just now.

If you really want to launch it earlier, why don't you cut some features?"

Mr. Zhou, who still had some humanity in him, thought about it and agreed with the other party's suggestion. "Okay, I'll do as you say this time and cut off some of the less important functions!"

Subsequently, some minor functions were cut off and the launch date was moved forward from one week to 10 days.

Finally, Zhou Hongyi scheduled 360 Mobile Assistant to be launched on August 8.

That night, the Zhiyan Enterprise Red and Black List was released, and 360 Qihoo Technology topped the black list.

The emergence of Redmi and Bi'an Assistant is like two catfish, stirring up a series of chain reactions on the Chinese Internet.
It is August 8th, and the three-day exclusive period of the mobile game "Beyond the Lake" has ended.

The installed base of Bi'an Mobile Assistant has exceeded 20 million.

The first batch of Redmi phones have already reached the hands of many consumers.

In the Apple App Store free game rankings, the four major mobile games from Beyond the Stars topped the list and firmly occupied the top four positions.

"Candy Crush Saga" ranked first, followed by "Crazy Chicken", "Warcraft Legend" and "Ancient War".

The mobile games produced by the Four Sacred Beasts Studio of Bi'an Technology have begun to sweep the entire Internet, setting off a mobile game craze belonging to Bi'an!

In a study room at a certain university, two female students were chatting quietly.
"Hey, how did you get so high on Match 67? You're already number one on my friend list. levels, and all of them are three stars."

"Oh my, this is nothing. The number one on my friend list has already reached level 72, but when I woke up I was surpassed again. I'm so angry."

"How did you do it? If you have any experience, please share it with your sisters~"

"With time and money, you can get on the leaderboard if you want. Let me see how many levels you have now. Why are you only at level 39?"

"I was wondering why you took the day off from class the past two days. It turns out you went out to play this. How much did you spend?"

"Well, I haven't calculated it. Anyway, I bought props when I got stuck or got stuck. I probably spent more than 100. There is a discount for recharging in the first week of the public beta, so it is still quite affordable. You should also try hard~" "Yeah, I'll try to recharge some money when I get back to the dormitory."

On a bus in Shanghai.

Xiao Zhang took out his mobile phone and was playing "Legend of Warcraft". He was fascinated by the battle scenes and was very excited.

He originally felt that the one-hour commute time was extremely long, but after playing "Legend of Warcraft", it seemed that time passed in a flash. He didn't even finish his daily tasks before he arrived near the company.

Now the bus ride to and from get off work has become his happiest journey.

At this time, a buddy came over and said, "Hey, buddy, you play this too? What hero did you draw in the first draw of your ten consecutive draws?"

You play this game, and I play it too, so we are half-brothers. Xiao Zhang started talking, "Hey, don't mention it. I changed several zones before I got the swordmaster I wanted. Before that, I played Kael'thas, the Fire Lord, and Muradin, the King of the Hill."

"Fuck, what luck you have. Kaizi's fire mage's AOE damage is very useful for pushing the main line in the early stage. Muradin is also the most tanky. I looked at the guide and found that these two are the answers for the first version. Although the swordmaster is also okay, he can clone himself to resist and output, and his single-target burst is relatively strong, but he is still a little worse than the previous two. Why did you choose this?"

"Don't ask. Asking is faith! What about you?"

"Don't mention it. I've been working overtime lately and haven't had much time to play. My first draw was a Gul'dan single-target spell. It's too bad!"

Xiao Zhang was feeling a little proud at first, but when he accidentally saw the game screen of the guy next to him, he exclaimed, "Wow, where did you get the Demon Hunter? And Sylvanas and Thrall? How come I have never seen these heroes before?"

"Oh, they are all drawn from ten consecutive draws."

After two days of exploration, Xiao Zhang learned that after completing the first chapter of the storyline for novices in "World of Warcraft Legend", he will be given a free ten-draw streak. It is unlikely that he will change his WeChat account. This guy has changed several zones.

Then he didn't understand and asked, "How many districts did you get in exchange?"

"What do you mean by zone change? I probably spent over 600 bucks on it. Anyway, I drew Demon Hunter Illidan last. He used his ultimate to transform in the middle of the battle. It was so cool. Let me show you."

Then Xiao Zhang saw the other side start a battle. When it was Illidan's turn to release his ultimate move, he flew directly to the moonlit sky and transformed in a full moon. Mysterious runes appeared around him, and he held two crescent-shaped Eshinroth blades in his hands. Demon wings danced behind him. How handsome he was! Then he swooped down from above, leaving a trail of afterimages, and the six enemies were directly turned into dust.
I really want to have it. Xiao Zhang wiped the tears from his envy and said, "Fuck, that's so cool."

Seeing Xiao Zhang's envious expression, the guy looked very proud and felt a great sense of accomplishment. He felt that the 600 yuan he spent was worth it and he shared his experience with great interest.

"I saw a post online saying that as long as you top up more than 600 yuan, you will definitely get a Demon Hunter. Some people are luckier and got one after just over yuan."

Xiao Zhang nodded without saying anything. He had already made up his mind. It's just 600 yuan. Who doesn't have it? And he doesn't have a girlfriend anyway!

Afterwards, the two of them played and communicated and shared their gaming experiences, and even added each other on WeChat before parting.

some company.

As usual, Sister Zhang came to her workstation and took out her iPhone 4, which she had just bought two days ago. These days, she has become the object of envy of others.

"Wow, Sister Zhang bought a new phone, wow~ it's an iPhone~"

"This system is so smooth, not like my crappy Android phone which is so laggy."

"This phone should be quite expensive. I saw it on Taobao for over 4,000 yuan."

At this time, Sister Zhang would say in a slightly complaining tone, "Oh, it's all my husband's fault. He said it was our wedding anniversary and insisted on giving me a new phone. I couldn't refuse it."

The scene above is her daily routine for the past two days.

But when she arrived at the company today, she found that no one came to see her new iPhone. Instead, they gathered around the workstation of a new employee who had just arrived and chattered non-stop.

This made Sister Zhang very uncomfortable, so she walked over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Damn, this Redmi phone is awesome. It doesn't lag at all when playing games."

"I feel that there is no difference in performance between this Redmi phone and Zhang Jie's iPhone 4, but the iPhone 4 looks better."

"Isn't it a bit outrageous to compare 799 with 4999? Sister Zhang's phone can buy 6 Redmi phones."

"Lei Jun and Chen Mo's collaboration, what are you talking about? Crazy Chicken is specially optimized. I guess iPhone 4 will be slow, and Redmi won't even have a slow phone."

"Hey, have fun, don't talk, there's a cliff ahead, be careful to jump~~~~"

"Pay attention to the top of your head, invincible, use it quickly"

As a small leader, Sister Zhang looked at the situation for a while and understood it. She coughed deliberately and said, "It's time to go to work. It's time to work~"

In an instant, the crowd and the animals were startled and scattered, each returning to their positions.

Sister Zhang returned to her workstation and looked at the iPhone on the table. It didn’t seem to smell so good anymore.
