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

Chapter 467: Longteng Internet Cafe, Wuyou Media

Over the past period of time, Xiaomi G4's production capacity has increased instead of decreased, which is completely contrary to the sluggish sales. After nearly a month of accumulation, there is a clear backlog of inventory.

Behind the seemingly calm situation, Lei Jun is exerting pressure by relying on his personal prestige, so he is still under certain pressure.

If this move goes wrong, the consequences of Lei Jun's personal reputation in Xiaomi as a whole will obviously be more serious than the economic losses of Xiaomi. If he wants to push any measures in the future, the resistance will be significantly increased.

Any decision in the business world is like a gambler sitting at the gambling table. You must dare to place the bet and be willing to take the responsibility.

Lei Jun has always had a belief in his heart, that is, he believes that good things are about to happen.

He believes that his judgment of people is never wrong, so he has the courage to do so.

Because Chen Mo has never let him down, not even once!

As expected, on September 9, after Xiaomi issued the announcement, sales of Xiaomi G7 mobile phones began to improve significantly, with daily sales increasing by 4% and continuing to rise.

By September 9, G10's daily sales exceeded 4 units and then stabilized at this trend.

But compared with other series with daily sales of more than 10, it is still not enough, and the inventory of Xiaomi G4 has accumulated nearly 3 million units. If it cannot be sold in the end, this will be a loss of nearly billion yuan.

Lei Jun looked at the current sales data of the G4 mobile phone and nodded. There is improvement, but not much!

He murmured, it's not enough, next it depends on the reputation of the internal and public beta of this Chinese Legend game.
In the past, each generation of Xiaomi mobile phones became popular within a year after its release, and it was almost synonymous with the sales of smart phones in China.

Countless competitors are envious and jealous of it. They hate it for destroying everyone's jobs, envy its marketing methods, and envy its market size.

This year is no exception. Xiaomi X series and Redmi H series still have the potential to lead the trend of 4G smartphones. Originally, competitors have become accustomed to it. They learn from the barbarians to defeat them. Everyone can learn from them.

As a result, it ended up being a disaster. I don't know what was wrong with Lei Jun. Perhaps he felt that Xiaomi's capital was starting to get too big, so he gave up his core business and wanted to innovate by making a vertical gaming phone. However, it died suddenly within just a few days of its release.

Now some friendly competitors have finally seized the opportunity to throw heavy weight on us. Those pessimistic and smearing arguments and media are the result of their exaggeration of facts.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, Xiaomi launched an event to link up with the new game on the other side of the river, which surprised its mobile phone competitors as they had not expected such an operation.

It feels like the longest road they have walked is Lei Jun’s routine, one thing after another, and no two things are the same!
Afterwards, these bosses quickly asked their subordinates to monitor the sales of Xiaomi G4 every day. The sales volume of Xiaomi G was like a frightened bird, which was actually the "root cause" left by the excessive losses they had suffered in the past.

Since both Xiaomi Mall and JD Mall display total sales, the sales changes of Xiaomi G4 gaming phone obviously cannot escape the keen eyes of competitors. Although there are some deviations, they should be generally similar.

Three days later, when Meizu CEO Huang saw the latest statistics, he rubbed his eyes. Only about 10,000 units per day?

He had been so anxious and restless for the past two days, and this was the result he had been waiting for? This!
Although it has increased more than 10 times, from thousands of units to tens of thousands of units. Even if Xiaomi can hold its ground for a hundred days, it will only be a million units. For Meizu, which has to rely on annual sales of tens of millions to make the list, such a small amount is not even enough to fill the gap. To put it bluntly, this product has already meant failure.

Then Huang waved his hand and ordered, "Increase the media public relations efforts, and promote Xiaomi G4 and the new game on the other side to the death! Wait for the game to be tested. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Let's see how Xiaomi dies!"

The reason why he was so confident was that he found an expert in gaming at Alibaba, who, after some analysis, felt that the new game from Bi'an was not promising. This hybrid mode of martial arts and cards was Bi'an's innovation and did not exist on the market at all, just like the Xiaomi G4 alone.

That’s perfect, we can get a double kill!

September 9th, Saturday, is 14 days away from the closed beta test of Legend of China.

Suzhou University Town is located in Wuzhong District and is home to many universities including Suzhou University and Suzhou University of Science and Technology.

There is a bustling commercial street with restaurants, delicious snacks, KTVs, printing shops, and supermarkets, providing a variety of convenient services for students from nearby universities.

Of course, Internet cafes are an indispensable entertainment venue for contemporary college students, and there is no other.

Inside Tenglong Internet Cafe.

Looking at the time on the wall, the network administrator Xiao Zhao muttered to himself, "It's probably time for someone to come to the rescue again."
Sure enough, a group of clear-eyed college students came running in, slapped their ID cards on the bar, and said, "Network administrator, get on the computer!"

"Don't be in a hurry, line up one by one. There is still half an hour before 10 o'clock. There is still time~~~ If you are hungry, you can order food from the Ele.me app on your computer desktop."

During the registration process, someone asked curiously, "Are you hungry? What?"
"Hey~ There's a flyer on the table, take a look if you're interested."

Once the process was completed, the entire Internet cafe was filled with people.

Xiao Zhao looked at the students who were staring at the computer screens enthusiastically and sighed to himself,
Ever since Bi'an released the internal beta qualification for The Legend of China, every time it's almost 10 o'clock, a large group of people come on time, and then in less than half an hour, another group leaves, shaking their heads and sighing. It feels like the door of their Internet cafe is like a city gate.

You can't grab tickets every day, but it does bring a lot of extra revenue to the Internet cafe.

Thinking about what to eat for lunch, he glanced at the Ele.me flyer on the table, then took out his mobile phone, chose what to eat for lunch, and finally made an appointment for delivery at 12 o'clock.

In fact, there were Baidu Takeout orders on the bar counter before, but yesterday a guy about his age came and called himself Xiao Li. After chatting for a while, he found out that the other party used to be in the same industry, so they had more common topics.

He tried it last night and it was quite convenient. He could order food with his mobile phone, basically including all the restaurants on this street. It would be delivered in about ten to twenty minutes after ordering. He could pay with WeChat, which was extremely convenient.

This way, you can save at least half an hour of errand time every day. Moreover, when customers order food through this thing, it increases the time spent on the computer in disguise. Of course, this is what the young man said, and he thinks it is very right.

Although I don't know why Xiao Li gave up such a promising job as a network administrator and went to distribute flyers, the other party was frank and honest in his words and deeds.

Post a poster of the other party on the door of the Internet cafe, 100 yuan/month;
There was a stack of Ele.me flyers on the bar counter, 100 yuan/month;
Every desktop in the Internet cafe has been replaced with Ele.me advertising posters, each machine costs 3 yuan per month, with a total of 80 machines, 240 yuan per month.

The total amount was 440 yuan. Brother Li, who looked young but was quite bold, rounded up the amount to 500 yuan.

They also took away all the Baidu takeaway orders that had been left, and left an extra 100 yuan as compensation, of course, on the condition that he would not accept any Baidu promotion in the future.

Xiao Zhao said that the network administrator would not lie to him, and he patted his chest to make the promise.

The reason why he agreed was because he didn't like the bossy attitude of Baidu before. Throwing down 100 yuan, he felt that it was a blessing for your small Internet cafe to cooperate with us Baidu.
hei~~~tui!

You have to know that these promotion fees are all his extra bonuses as a network administrator. The boss doesn't care about this little money that comes out of nowhere and just regards it as a way to win people's hearts.

Xiao Zhao was much more willing to work for Ele.me, so every time a customer registered online, Xiao Zhao would mention the Ele.me flyer, and treat it as the 60 yuan additional promotion fee.

Nearing 10 o'clock, another wave of students came.
"Sorry, it's full. Please come earlier tomorrow."

"Depend on!"

“When was it full?”

Xiao Zhao showed a professional smile and said, "Come earlier next time. There's hope before 9:."

"Hurry up, hurry up, there are still 10 minutes, next one, next one~~~"

These people came quickly and left even faster.

The last college student to get on the computer secretly rejoiced, it was a close call, just 2 minutes.

His name is Tan Li, which means politeness. He is a junior student in the Department of Philosophy at the nearby Soochow University. He comes from a wealthy family, has excellent character and academic performance, and has been the talk of other parents since he was young.

He has no other hobbies. He has always liked to read martial arts novels since he was a child. Later, Yu-Gi-Oh became popular, and he became keen on the more brain-burning board game cards. Recently, his roommate recommended "Legend of China" to him, and he fell in love with it at first sight.
After turning on the computer, he looked at the time on the desktop and saw that there were still 3 minutes left.

He then took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat "The Legend of China" applet. At the same time, he opened the G-Home client and the "The Legend of China" official website on his computer and logged into his account. The whole action was done in one go and was extremely skillful, which shows that this guy is already a "repeat offender."

Then Tan Li put his hands together, lowered his head, and muttered something. If you get close, you can hear names such as Socrates, Thales, Plato, Lao Tzu, etc. The ceremony was over.

Then he stared at the countdown on the table, waiting for the auspicious moment to arrive.

9:59
Tick-tock, the time passed like a year to Tan Li. There were 10 seconds left. He took a deep breath and counted to 1043 in his mind.
In the last three seconds, Tan Li's left and right hands turned into human-shaped fascia guns, hammering the mouse and mobile phone screen frantically. The frequency and strength were very skillful, with a main effect of light touch and high-frequency vibration. Kato Ying called him a fellow traveler when he saw it, and Wu Laoer from the next door village felt that there was someone to succeed him.

The countdown ended, and the originally gray word "Lottery" changed color.

Almost at the same time, maybe 0.1 second, 0.01 second late?
Then, a box popped up ~ "Unfortunately, you did not win the internal test activation code. Please try again later."

Close the pop-up window, and when you click it again, it will change to "Today's internal beta activation codes have been issued!"

Grass!!!!!!!!!!

Tan Li was roaring in his heart, looking at his hands with lifeless eyes. As expected... It still doesn't work?
At this moment, I heard a lot of yelling and cursing around me, "Damn, who the hell took all these activation codes? Smoke is coming out of our ancestors' graves."

Then I saw a man who looked like Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination, muttering, "I passed. Hahahaha. I passed."
Then half of the people in the Internet cafe gave this B glares like knives, three parts jealousy and seven parts hatred!

A few people who were not short of money had already started to ask for the price, "Hey, are you selling the account? 300, I'll take it~"

"You want to buy it for 300? I'll give you 500~"

"No, no, I still want to play with it myself~"

"Classmate~ Which school are you from? Maybe we are classmates, so you can rent it to me when you are not playing. Otherwise, add me on WeChat."

"Uh, that's fine~"

Tan Li retracted his gaze and looked at his Redmi 1. There was still one day left. If things really didn't work out, how about going to Xiaomi Home and buying a G1?

“.Have you seen those people quarreling online? They work themselves to death every day just to grab a code.

Who would be stupid enough to participate in the lottery these days? There are tens of millions of people competing for a few thousand places. It's more cruel than the college entrance examination. You can just top up a thousand into your account and get it. It's just the cost of a meal."

"Mr. Zhou, do you think those people are the same as us? There are many rich people in China, but there are even more poor people."

"The other side of the river has issued another announcement today as the internal beta is approaching, saying that internal beta users will also get a special card back, and they can top up during the internal beta. I have to say that the other side of the river is a good gamer. Damn, Chen Mo from the other side of the river is pretty awesome, and I'm tempted."

"Yuko, have you activated it?"

"Based on the contribution that Brother You has made to the other side, he has at least brought in tens of millions of dollars in consumption. At least he is a VVVIP supreme user, so how can he not have a code?"

"Let's fight each other then. 1 per hand? How about that?"

"Okay, let's play some fun then~"

"Okay, I heard that you played that war game before, with hundreds of brothers downloaded on your phone. Are you playing this Chinese Legend this time? Where did you get their codes?"

"Anyway, those guys were attacking Europe in the Ancient War some time ago, and fighting with the time difference was quite hard. I directly gave each of the brothers in the group a G4 as overtime pay during this period. It's just that I have to play less for a few days.

After all, Bi'an and I have some connection, so I will still support Brother Mo's career!"

"Wu You, this Brother Mo you're talking about is the other side Chen Mo I just mentioned? Do you know him?"

"Oh, it's more than just knowing each other. I'm not bragging. My relationship with Chen Mo can be traced back to three years ago when the Other Shore was first established. I can't have achieved what I have now without the tons of teachings from my brother Mo."

"Brother You, that's called earnest teaching (jiao) (hui)~"

"Oh, it's OK as long as you know the meaning. The pronunciation is not important. We had dinner together and talked about careers. Look at this photo. It's a photo of the two of us back then~"

Wu You was drinking, chatting and bragging with a bunch of friends who love playing games. When he got excited, he took out Xiaomi X4MAX and clicked on a group photo.
In the photo, two young men are shaking hands. One is the younger Wu You, and the other is smiling at the camera. Who else could it be but Chen Mo?

He began to show off his glorious past achievements to his new friends. After all, considering the current gap in status between him and Chen Mo, this was a very face-enhancing thing.

"It's a pity that I was so obsessed with money that I forgot what Brother Mo said. I launched the website too late, otherwise I could have made tens of millions."

Wu You's words and his sips of wine are filled with sadness and sorrow.
In fact, this photo was just a group photo taken by Chen Mo at the auction dinner out of respect for the buyer. Chen Mo did not speak to him that day.

Moreover, it was a cold buffet dinner, so from a macro narrative perspective, the two did have dinner together.

Wu You was just trying to save face in front of his brothers.

Two hours later, after having a good meal and a lot of bragging, Wu You rejected his companions' invitation to the next show and returned to his own residence.

He patted the butt of his girlfriend, who he couldn't remember how many times, and said, "Be good, go take a shower and wait for me in bed!"

He picked a Cohiba eggplant, made some tea, and looked out the window at the bustling scene.
Business is getting harder and harder these days, otherwise he wouldn't have used Chen Mo's skin as a banner to find those people to invest, but they turned out to be more cunning than the other.
If it weren't for the fact that the country has tightened its control over the coal industry in the past two years, and the coal mining companies in Shanxi have to be consolidated from 1500 to 1000, causing his family to be in dire straits, he would not have acted in this way.

In the past two years, he had seen with his own eyes the money his father used for bribery being sent out box after box. He was simply a spendthrift father, but life at home was still getting harder and harder. The scale of the family had dropped from nearly 10 billion to barely 1 billion now.

Later, his father had no choice but to sell his shares, and now he no longer travels around the country. Before, he used to be sad and sighed, and in a flash he aged ten years. Now that he has let go, he no longer plays golf and instead likes fishing, which is also good.

My mother, who used to love playing cards, has now started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, often saying that peace is a blessing.

Their family situation was relatively good. Some of their friends who used to visit them often jumped off buildings because their parents went bankrupt, and some were implicated in the crime. Anyway, they all had their own misfortunes.

Fortunately, he still has some career of his own.

Since Chen Mo took over the two auction websites, he did make back his investment in the beginning, but later on he was a bit greedy and sold them too late, resulting in a loss of about 3 million yuan. Fortunately he sold them, because who would have thought that there would be only two or three oligarchs left in the entire group buying market, and now no one would want those two websites even if they were given away for free.

Damn, he still feels a little scared when he thinks about this.

Last year, because he loved playing Ancient War, he recruited a group of like-minded netizens online and offline to form a team of about 300 people.

Over the past year, the money I spent on the game was not that much, only about 300 million yuan. The big expense was to support the team to play the game, which totaled about 2 million yuan.

In a blitzkrieg against Europe and America in the Ancient War Global Server, their Worry-Free Legion made a name for itself by defending Jin with 300 warriors, not letting the sneak attacking enemy army get a single step beyond the line.

After a successful battle, they recruited tens of thousands of players and became the No. 1 force in northwest Shanxi.

Later, under his command, the legion followed the main force to guard the country's borders in the west, to recover Taiwan in the east, and to conquer Korea in the south. In the first two months, it also followed the Chinese Expeditionary Force to fight in Europe, trying to replicate Genghis Khan's feat, but unfortunately it failed.

Thanks to the reputation of the Worry-Free Legion, the company received some orders for leveling, which at least allowed it to make some money back.

However, the business of proxy gaming is a physical job that earns money too slowly, and it is ultimately not a long-term solution.

In the past two months, he has been watching live broadcasts on Douyu and YY, including those of singing and playing games. Seeing the hosts becoming successful one after another, he feels that this path may become popular.

Wu You had a plan in his mind. He wanted to let these people do live game broadcasts, and then recruit some pretty young ladies to sing and dance.

This was not just a spur of the moment thought, but had sufficient theoretical support. That was based on Wu You's own past experience, some popular nightclubs and clubs were basically staffed by pretty girls.

Moreover, the performances there were so fascinating that even a rich second-generation like me couldn't leave. One can imagine that for those netizens who have never seen the world, it would be like a wolf seeing meat.

As for supervision, the worst that can happen is that we can just broadcast it in plain language and let the girls wear more clothes.

But you have to set up a new company.
What should I call myself? Thinking about the meaning of the name my father gave me, Wu You. Wuyou!

Well, let’s call it Wuyou Media.
