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

Chapter 876 A Dimensional Reduction Attack from Old Jia

He quickly operated the keyboard and mouse, staring at the record of all items being sold out in the background, and stood there dumbfounded.

Within 1 hour and 12 minutes of the broadcast, 20 Xiaomi Notebook Pros, 30 Xiaomi Mixs, and 50 Redmi H8s were all sold out, with sales approaching 30 billion yuan.

It's worth noting that initially, Xiaomi allocated 10 laptops, 20 Mix units, and 30 Redmi units to him out of consideration.

He managed to get an increased quota after much persuasion, but he never expected that the goods would be sold out after he felt he had only used half of his strength.

Seeing this, Jia Yueting looked somewhat embarrassed.

Shameful, so shameful.

Just like an ancient king leading his army into battle, his forces were unstoppable, and his troops conquered all the royal lands. Just as he was preparing to launch a full-scale attack, news came from the rear that the army was running out of supplies.

This prompted Jia Yueting to sigh in front of the camera, a rare occurrence, and he gave the camera a thumbs-up, saying, "You guys are awesome!"

The chat room was filled with jubilation. After all, it was all thanks to their combined efforts that a former billionaire could lose his composure in front of the camera and shout "Awesome!"

It was so incredibly satisfying!

Jia Yueting and his team made thorough preparations for the premiere.

From public opinion response to handling emergencies, the thick stack of contingency plans covers almost all possible scenarios, including a plan to deal with inventory selling out ahead of schedule.

As originally planned, he would interact deeply with the audience as an entrepreneurial mentor, sharing his deeply ingrained entrepreneurial insights and unique perspectives on business and life, thereby solidifying his audience base.

The live stream was originally scheduled to last from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., but just one hour later, the warehouse was already sold out.

The remaining time is enough for a class period plus a break between classes; we can't just spend the whole time lecturing on theory, can we?

Jia Yueting frowned slightly as he watched the fervent discussion in the comments section.

"Old Jia, we haven't even started yet, how come the inventory is almost gone?"

"That's it? This is all you've prepared in three months? Are you incompetent, or is it Mr. Lei? Or are you both incompetent?"

"Damn, I was just working overtime for a bit, earning over 20,000 yuan a month, and wanted to buy a complete Xiaomi product set, but it's all sold out. What's going on?"

"Hey Jia, get the stock up! I haven't placed an order yet, if it doesn't restock soon I'm going to snatch it from the official website!"

Oh no, the plan has changed!

Jia Yueting's heart skipped a beat.

The scene at this moment is just like everyone eagerly awaiting a monarch's coronation. If he makes excuses to postpone it and hastily ends the broadcast, he will break the hearts of millions of supporters.

Is this what it feels like to have insufficient production capacity?
For the first time, he truly understood what Lei Jun meant by "pain and pleasure at the same time."

This pressure is even heavier than his current huge debts, after all, he only has a few dozen creditors, while the number of people disappointed by the shortage is in the millions.

LeEco's failure stemmed from being too aggressive. Should we learn from this lesson and fail in live-streaming e-commerce by being too conservative?

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

If you can get 100 points, why should you be satisfied with 60 points?

The only way to break the deadlock right now is to coordinate another batch of supplies.

But in the middle of the night, there's only one person he can think of who could do this.

After a brainstorming session, Jia Yueting made a bold decision, and a risky but potentially self-defeating idea emerged.

Damn it, I'll give it my all!

"Everyone, I know you're all anxious, so please calm down." He cleared his throat and glanced at the comments. "I'll call Mr. Lei right now to discuss the supply."

Please note, I swear on my integrity, this is absolutely not scripted; the enthusiasm of everyone truly exceeded both Lei's and my expectations.
If you think Lao Jia is sincere, please type "sincerity" in the public chat!

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone, dialed Lei Jun's number, and pressed the speakerphone button. He even deliberately covered the specific number and turned the screen towards the camera for a few seconds to show the two characters "Lei Jun" on the phone screen.

"Holy crap. Mr. Jia's connections are amazing, directly handing the card to Mr. Lei? Incredible!"

"Everyone, please be quiet and don't disturb the big boss on the phone!"

"666! I give this move a perfect score!"

"Haha, I bet Boss Lei will be dumbfounded when he hears there's no stock!"

"Looking forward to it! Stop scrolling, let's get this gossip going!"

Beep. Beep.
The beeping sound before the call connects resonates like a timpani in the hearts of millions.

The comment section fell silent instantly, as if everyone was holding a receiver, experiencing this late-night live stream firsthand.

It has a strong sense of presence and immersion.

"Hello!" Lei Jun's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jia Yueting immediately jumped in to answer, clearly explaining the current situation to avoid the other party revealing anything inappropriate.
Fearing the other party might let something slip, Jia Yueting quickly interrupted, "Hey, Mr. Lei, this is Jia! I'm livestreaming on Douyin right now, on speakerphone, and there are 327 million viewers." The tone on the other end of the line became noticeably more serious: "Hello everyone on Douyin, this is Lei Jun... uh..."

Suddenly, a whisper came from the microphone. Lei Jun paused, then blurted out, "Are...Are you OK?"

The next second, the screen was flooded with "OK!" comments, like a surging ocean amidst replies of varying nicknames.

"Well, all the previous shipments were snapped up by our enthusiastic customers," Jia Yueting quickly got to the point. "I'd like to coordinate with you to see if we can allocate some more quotas? We can get on the train first and pay the paperwork later."

"You said the goods I gave you earlier were sold out in just over an hour?"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly startled, followed by a muffled sound of the receiver being covered.

"Yes, they're sold out."

"Holy crap. Even beeping wouldn't be this fast!"

"Old Jia is still awesome!"

A few seconds later, Lei Jun's voice became clear again: "No problem, I'll have someone connect with you right now."

"There's one more thing," Jia Yueting pressed on while the iron was hot.

"You said."

"I don't know if this live-streaming sales event counts as free, but I have a favor to ask."

He took a deep breath. "I'd like to propose that for every Xiaomi laptop or Mix sold during this event, 100 yuan will be donated to Mianxinsheng's research fund. This is how we, as consumers, can contribute to the development of domestically produced chips. What do you think?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a crisp response: "No problem, I agree! I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all the Mi Fans for trusting Xiaomi and Jia Yueting! We will definitely do even better."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone seemed to be snatched away, and a new voice rang out: "Good evening, everyone, this is Chen Mo!"

A single phone call brought out two big shots, and the millions of viewers in the live stream instantly went wild—this was a huge win, worth all the waiting!
"Old Jia, turn on the gift feature, a few friends are sending you a bunch of gifts!"

Jia Yueting quickly did as he was told, shouting into the microphone, "President Chen, it's on!"

Then they heard Chen Mo calling out something on the other end of the line, vaguely saying, "You guys hurry up and show your support. Damn, can't you just register an account if you don't have one? Look at Mr. Ma, no wonder he's in product management, he has accounts everywhere."

The next second, countless people witnessed an exceptionally luxurious "carnival" extravaganza.

Old Jia's live stream was instantly flooded with countless "carnival" messages. The scene was overwhelming, with firepower as fierce as a Gatling gun firing "carnival" messages.

In the top right corner of the list, "Xiao Mo Tongxue" ranked first, "Lei Jun" ranked second, "Xiao Ma Pony" ranked third, and "Robin Lee" ranked fourth.
"Alright, that's about it. Let's call it a day." Chen Mo's voice was slightly tipsy. "Old Jia, turn off the gifts. Thanks everyone for supporting Old Jia. After all, owing so much money and still not running away, this guy is one of a kind. He's a real man!"
Goodbye everyone, goodnight~

Toot toot toot
The call was hung up.

The big shots arrived quickly and left even faster, leaving behind gifts worth millions with a wave of their sleeves.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jia Yueting felt a pang of shame—in fact, he had considered running away, but failed and had no choice but to "turn back before it's too late."

But at this moment, he was truly grateful for Chen Mo's guidance and for the opportunity given to him by Lei Jun.

The millions of viewers in the live stream were completely stunned by this "surprise attack".

Looking at the big names on the list, and recalling the commotion on the other end of the phone, everyone realized what was going on:
Chen Mo's tongue seemed a bit big just now?

Are these big shots having a drink together?
Who among them has the best alcohol tolerance?
Are there any business companions? If so, what level are they? Will there be any celebrities?
Countless questions swirled in my mind, giving rise to endless reverie.

Almost instantly, hashtags such as #FourKingsofTechCircleSurpriseVisitJia'sLivestream# and #JiaConnectsWithLeiJunOnLiveToUseGoods# surged to the top of the trending list, like boulders thrown into a lake, sparking heated discussions across the internet.

As a result, even though it was nearly 11:20 p.m., the number of viewers in Jia Yueting's live stream not only did not decrease, but instead skyrocketed.

Jia Yueting clenched his fist behind his back—he had made the right bet, and the results far exceeded his expectations.

But he knew that there was no such thing as free support, and all these acts of kindness came with a "price".

Since Lei Jun has given his approval, the rest of the process is already in place. All that's left is to go through emergency procedures and system adjustments, which will take some time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jia Yueting decided to adjust the order of the content. "I just asked the staff, and the restock will be available in about 10 minutes."

He smiled and looked at the camera, "During this break, let me explain the terminology related to the Xiaomi ecosystem and products that I just mentioned."

As he spoke, he pulled over a whiteboard from the side and picked up a marker to write.

Track, key points, empowerment, co-creation, brand power, potential energy, top-tier, climbing, methodology, tipping point
Industry slang emerged from his writing.
Let's review what these words actually mean.

In his slightly self-deprecating and even self-mocking remarks, Jia Yueting deconstructed these industry jargon in plain language, making the audience in the live broadcast room laugh and cheer.

Happy times always pass too quickly; just over ten minutes later,

The goods have arrived!

A glint flashed in Jia Yueting's eyes, and his whole body was filled with fighting spirit!

If fighting spirit were to materialize, it would be Super Saiyan 4!
Let's fight again in the second half!
