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

Chapter 877 The Impact of This Live Broadcast!
clap clap clap!
The sound of the phone screen violently colliding with the desktop.

Showing the camera the smooth, flawless surface of the screen, Jia Yueting said, "Look at the hardness of this screen glass, isn't it? What's there to be afraid of? Xiaomi's after-sales service is much better than LeEco's."

But to be honest, when LeEco wanted to develop a bezel-less design, how many people said we were daydreaming?

Now take a look at this Mix. It has a 91.3% screen-to-body ratio. Lei Jun called it Full Screen 2.0, but I think that's a bit conservative. It would be more appropriate to call it Sky Screen, the kind that breaks through the industry's skyline.

Jia Yueting held the Mix in his hands with obvious delight, exclaiming, "Those narrow bezels, wow, that curve... wow, calling it 'a must-have gadget for years' isn't an exaggeration, is it?"

"As far as I know, the diamond arrangement display technology of this screen is currently at the top level in the world, and it is Xiaomi's exclusive patent! Even the screen display technologies used by Samsung and Apple have to obediently pay patent fees to Xiaomi."

Suddenly changing the subject, he tapped the front-facing camera, grinned at the lens, and the image on the screen was so clear that even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible:

"As for under-display camera technology, how many people ridiculed it as an obsession with perfectionism? Sacrificing photographic accuracy for aesthetics is not worth it!"

He swiped his thumb across the screen, bringing up several sample photos. "But this year is different! Look at the pixels, the color reproduction! The progress in algorithm tuning—this is not only a victory for technology, but also a victory for daring to think and act!"

If Jia Yueting was playing the emotional game in the first half, then in the second half he switched to hardcore mode, aiming to win over those who were hesitant with real substance.

As Jia Yueting demonstrated and explained, it was like attending a science popularization class. He wrote and drew on the whiteboard while demonstrating, trying to make everyone understand the awesomeness of this technology in the simplest terms.
All the content that Lei Jun couldn't elaborate on due to time constraints at the press conference was broken down and filled in by Jia Yueting.

Perhaps it was the tempering of setbacks that allowed him to fully unleash his potential—the empty rhetoric and grandstanding that plagued LeEco's press conferences of yesteryear vanished without a trace, replaced by genuine emotion, his eyes brimming with enthusiasm and sincerity for technology.

The live stream chat exploded with comments: "Holy crap, that's awesome! This explanation is even more thorough than a press conference!"

"I've learned something new! There's so much to it about buying a mobile phone!"

"Looking at it this way, 3999 doesn't seem so expensive at all!"

"Mr. Lei is so kind!"

"Old Jia, you've put in a lot of effort!"

……

With these enthusiastic comments, the newly arrived 'ammunition' is being consumed at an alarming rate.
"We just talked about the screen, now let's take the machine apart!" Jia Yueting took a set of screwdrivers from the side and, in front of millions of viewers, "click-clack" disassembled the Xiaomi Mix into pieces.

He neatly arranged the parts in a row on the table, then picked up a chip the size of a fingernail, his voice brimming with emotion that seemed to overflow the screen: "Actually, to figure out this phone, I've already disassembled several of them downstairs..."

But every time I see the 'Mi' printed on it, to be honest..."

This chip is our own! Back when LeEco was negotiating with those idiots using imported chips, I couldn't sleep at night!

At this point, Jia Yueting's voice choked slightly.
He then let out a long sigh of relief, calming his excited emotions. "It's a pity. Never mind, I only have two feelings now: one is envy, envying that Lei Jun can use domestically produced chips in a flagship phone; the other is admiration, admiring Xiaomi's restraint!"

He pointed to the parts on the table and introduced them one by one, as if he were showing off rare treasures: "Have you all noticed? This new product has more features but no price increase, and it's even 500 yuan cheaper than last year's flagship product!"
This is the advantage of domestic production—no exorbitant prices, no unfair contracts that force customers to sign, just true value for money!

"And I want to tell you all that Xiaomi has undergone a transformation starting with this launch event! People used to say that Xiaomi was just an assembly plant that piled on configurations, materials, and parameters. Today, I'll show you what real skill is!"

The camera zooms in, and Jia Yueting introduces himself one by one.
"Everyone knows about this chip; it's the Mianxinsheng Xuanjie O1."

"The screen is a flexible OLED screen from BOE, with diamond pixel arrangement technology, which is clearer than Apple's Retina display, and it also has a 90Hz high refresh rate! Under the same light source, the brightness of the Xiaomi Mix can be dazzling!"

"Camera module, Sunny Optical and OmniVision Technologies..."

"Acoustic components from AAC Technologies, dual speakers with 3D surround sound, immersing you in the experience!"

"Battery and power management are handled by Sunwoda Gardesay. Our team has tested it, and the battery life is 20% better than the previous generation—this isn't just about increasing capacity; it's about redesigning and optimizing the entire power consumption system!"

He wrote the words "battery capacity" on the whiteboard, pausing heavily with his pen: "What is the battery capacity of the Xiaomi Mix? Lei Jun mentioned it at the previous launch event. Those who know, type it in the chat... Yes, that's right, it's 3560mAh!"

Jia Yueting wrote down this number, "And what about the charging efficiency? 30W fast charging, according to our actual test, it only takes 45 minutes to charge from completely empty and shut down to 80%!"

How was this conclusion reached? This involves a formula.

A new formula appeared on the whiteboard: T (080%) ≈ Battery capacity (mAh) × 0.8 / Fast charging current (mA) × k (correction factor)
If Jia Yueting in the first half of his presentation completely abandoned the traditional image of a livestreamer, resembling more of an entrepreneur preaching his technological ideals, then now he is clearly a teacher on a lecturing platform, his eyes shining with the light of educating and nurturing. Meanwhile, in a corner of Beijing, the rarely-sleep Zhang Chaoyang is staring intently at the screen, his eyes gleaming, like an owl spotting its prey in the night.

Who knew live streaming could be done like this?
"So this is how you can do live streaming?" he muttered to himself.

If Jia Yueting can do it, what about him? Although he's not good at selling products, he's good at physics!
Before founding Sohu, Zhang Chaoyang's most shining achievement was being a top student who graduated from the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University, and also a Ph.D. and postdoctoral fellow in Physics at MIT.

In terms of education, he is basically at the top level among business tycoons, and he graduated from a legitimate school without any sponsorship or embellishment.

In the years after founding Sohu, he felt happy. After all, he had thrown many rooftop parties, seen all the worlds, and done all the things that needed to be done.

Later, with the rise of BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and the decline of the "Big Three" (referring to the three major internet companies), he became so lost that he even suffered from depression. For a time, he even tried to emulate the Jiajing Emperor's policy of laissez-faire governance, almost killing Sohu. Only when this failed did he return to lead the company, but the result was worse than if he hadn't returned at all. How to put it...
The company under his leadership is now in a state where it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

At his age, with his social experience and wealth, he no longer bothers to flatter or fawn over people or do things he doesn't like for a few coins.

He cares more about making himself happy and living a meaningful life; he no longer values ​​fame or fortune.

Sohu has previously worked on email, blogs, e-commerce, payment, games, real estate, video, and search, and then went on to develop microblogs, agricultural farms, and news apps.

He tried every trend he saw, but after all the ups and downs, the only thing he could be proud of was Sogou Input Method, which was created by Wang Xiaochuan. But as soon as it started to take off, he sold it to Bi'an. Now Sogou Input Method has the number one market share, and he ended up doing all the work for Bi'an.

Where will Sohu's future traffic growth come from? This is a question he has been pondering recently.

At that moment, watching Jia Yueting intently explaining science in the live stream, he suddenly had an answer in his mind—for Sohu, doing science popularization and building a knowledge live streaming platform might be a major attempt and exploration.

Let's start with physics, his favorite subject.
After more than two decades of wandering in the internet industry, I never imagined that I would eventually have to return to my old profession.

Imagining himself lecturing on relativity on Douyin, Zhang Chaoyang grew increasingly excited, knowing tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.

Jia Yueting was clearly unaware that his live stream had influenced the decision-making of another bigwig. He was still enthusiastically carrying out his original "Jia-style 3.0 formula conclusion comparison method"—derived from Chen-style 1.0 and Lei-style 2.0, and now finally has its own style.

"After talking about the Xiaomi Mix, let's take a look at Apple's latest model, the iPhone 8, which was launched today."

What's the battery capacity? Looks like some knowledgeable folks know this! That's right, 1821mAh. Well, we can't say Cook is stingy; there might be space constraints involved.
Its charging plug has remained unchanged for years at 5W (5V/1A). How can that be called being old-fashioned? Oh right, that student answered well, that's called respecting tradition.”

He quickly did calculations on the whiteboard with chalk in hand: "Using the formula we just used, how long does it take for an iPhone 8 to charge from 0% to 80%?... Oh! Right, some students in the live stream already answered that: 2 hours!"

Please type your conclusions in the chat.

Jia Yueting put down the chalk, smiled slightly, and glanced at the screen: "What conclusions have you drawn? Please type them in the chat..."

Looking at the answers in the comments section that followed his guidance, he nodded to himself—this is called "thought manipulation" in speeches, which subtly guides people's thinking along a pre-set scenario.

"Let me summarize the conclusions you all just reached. These are all your points; I didn't say anything."

He held up his fingers and counted them one by one.

"Battery capacity: Xiaomi Mix = 2 iPhone 8s; "

In terms of charging efficiency, the Xiaomi Mix is ​​equivalent to six iPhone 8s.

In terms of charging speed, the Xiaomi Mix is ​​equivalent to 1.25 iPhone 8s.

Science is rigorous and doesn't lie. Just look at batteries; isn't that obvious to everyone?

He then changed the subject, speaking sincerely: "Whether it's Apple or Huawei, everyone has different perceptions and preferences, and there's nothing wrong with any choice. I was just teaching you a method for selecting products. This time, I'll start with batteries, and later I'll teach you how to compare other components."

As for the products, everyone should just follow their own conscience…

As he spoke, he picked up his water glass and took a sip. While looking down, he glanced at the sales figures on the back end and his heart skipped a beat—it had already broken 60 billion?

Even someone like him, who has seen countless grand occasions, was somewhat taken aback by this number.
