Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 136 Wow, P30 has arrived in the store!
After hearing this, Zhong Zhe showed a disapproving expression.

To be honest, Zhong Zhe didn't believe that the Huayao P30 mobile phone could be mass-produced. With Huayao's current situation, it could at most produce some engineering machines and test machines.

However, Lao Bai did receive an important piece of news from internal channels today, saying that a batch of Huayao P30 will arrive at the flagship store in MixC.

Lao Bai was very excited, but Zhong Zhe felt that something was strange.

Let’s not talk about whether the Huayao P30 mobile phone exists or not. Even if it does exist, there are still several days until the end of the month. How can it arrive in the store so quickly?
But Lao Bai believed it completely and insisted on coming to Vientiane City to take a look. Zhong Zhe came along since he had nothing to do.

Zhong Zhe wanted to see if there were any Huayao P30 phones in the store. What was the truth?
If so, we have to see the real P30 to see if it is the same as what Wang Chengdong showed at the new product launch conference.

More importantly, does the Kirin 990+ really exist?

If Huayao P30 does not arrive in the store, it means that Lao Bai's information channel is no longer reliable and the news is completely groundless.

We can also draw the final conclusion that the Huayao P30 mobile phone cannot be mass-produced at all.

At least this Huayao flagship phone cannot be mass-produced for the time being.

So when can it be mass-produced?
Zhong Zhe also thought about it, but it was too difficult and it would take at least two or three years to be possible.

And that is only a theoretical possibility. By then, Huayao’s mobile phone business will probably no longer exist.

But Lao Bai still didn't give up, thinking that Huayao could produce the P30.

Zhong Zhe said: "Lao Bai, I advise you to give up. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Huayao may really fail this time."

Old Bai stared and said, "Stop talking nonsense. How could Huayao fail? If they really couldn't produce the P30, they wouldn't have held a press conference of this scale. If they held a press conference and couldn't produce it, it would be a huge blow to the company's reputation and its golden signboard would be completely ruined! Don't you understand this?"

"Why don't I understand? But can Huayao still care about the company's reputation at this time?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhong Zhe hesitated for a moment and said, "What I mean is that it is hard to say whether Huayao's mobile phone business can survive next year. Reputation is no longer important."

Lao Bai raised his eyebrows: "So you're saying that they hold a new product launch conference just to deceive people? What are they trying to do?"

Zhong Zhe shook his head, indicating that he didn't know and couldn't figure it out.

"Who knows what Huayao's top management thinks? I guess they just don't want to accept it."

"Even if you are unwilling, you can't do it recklessly! You are talking nonsense!"

Zhong Zhe said: "I'm not talking nonsense, Lao Bai, think about it calmly, do you think Kirin 990+ really exists? Who will manufacture chips for them?"

Lao Bai fell silent for a moment.

This question is really difficult to answer. Lao Bai is considered a professional in the industry and knows a lot about semiconductors.

If I have to say, Lao Bai doesn’t quite believe that Huayao can produce Kirin 990+ now.

The key point is that there is indeed no company that can manufacture chips for Huayao now.

Zhong Zhe said: "How is it? You have nothing to say, right? You should know that my judgment is correct, but you just don't want to admit it. But no matter how much you like Huayao, you have to accept the reality that they really can't produce P30!"

“Not necessarily. Why do you say they can’t produce a P30 phone? If they don’t have Kirin 990+, they can use Kirin 990, which is completely sufficient.”

Zhong Zhe waved his hand and said, "They can use Kirin 990, which is very likely, but have you ever thought about how much chip inventory they have? As far as I know, the orders for MATE20 some time ago have not been fully digested."

"You are wrong. I have asked the people at Huayao, and they have basically sent out all the orders I placed."

"Okay, all the orders for millions of phones have been delivered, so how many Kirin 990s are left? How much chip inventory do you think they have?"

"This one……"

Although Huayao’s chip inventory has never been announced to the outside world, people in the industry generally reached a consensus on it before.

Huayao’s chip inventory is indeed large, but that refers to chips of all sizes and types.

The stock of mobile processor chips, especially Kirin 990, is only about three million at most.

But now the sales volume of mate 20 has obviously far exceeded three million units.

"No matter how much Huayao's chip inventory is, it won't be much more."

Lao Bai shook his head again: "No, no, I still think Huayao will not lie. This is not in line with their style. They are down-to-earth technical people who understand marketing but not over-marketing. If they are not sure, they will not announce it."

Zhong Zhe looked at Lao Bai as if he was looking at a mental patient.

Lao Bai is beyond help. He blindly believes in Huayao, not knowing that the current situation is no longer under the control of Huayao alone.

Lao Bai looked at the door of Huayao flagship store and said, "There's no point in waiting here. Let's go in and ask about the situation."

Zhong Zhe shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let's go and take a look. Lao Bai, I really admire you. You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't turn back until you hit the south wall."

"Don't worry, if the P30 really arrives in the store, you will be slapped in the face then."

Zhong Zhe casually said, “Well, if the P30 really arrives in the store, I’ll run naked here!”

Lao Bai glanced at Zhong Zhe without saying anything and walked straight to the Huayao flagship store.

Zhong Zhe followed Lao Bai closely.

Although Zhong Zhe thought that Lao Bai's visit was in vain, it would be nice to visit the Huayao flagship store when he has nothing to do.

The two entered the store and felt a cool breeze.

The Huayao flagship store in MixC is truly one of the best stores of Huayao.

Needless to say, the decoration is excellent, but the key point is that the area is so huge, like a huge palace.

Of course, this was not the first time the two had come here, so they were used to it.

There weren't many people in the store. Some staff were doing reception work, and some others were sorting the goods.

The store clerks don't seem to be in very high spirits now, which is very different from before.

When mate20 released a large amount of goods some time ago, the store was very busy.

The staff are basically working around the clock, working overtime almost every day.

It is in stark contrast to the current situation.

Why is it so deserted now?
On the one hand, it is because Huayao mate20 is no longer accepting pre-orders, and the current job is to deliver previous orders.

On the other hand, although the press conference that just ended was very grand, there was no P30 prototype present, not even a single one, so it was questioned by many parties.

When the new product launch conference just ended, there was indeed a lot of pollen flocking in.

Almost all of them came to see the Huayao P30, but many of them left disappointed because they couldn't see the prototype, and some of them still paid a deposit.

The key is the end of the month. Even if Huayao P30 cannot be sold normally at the end of the month, having a prototype will be fine.

If there really isn't even a prototype of the P30 by then, then all the doubts will be confirmed.

This proves that Huayao does not have a P30 phone at all, and even as some people say, there will never be a P30. This is a PPT phone.

Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe are familiar faces.

As soon as they appeared, some staff members recognized them and greeted them.

Lao Bai walked over to a female clerk and said, "Li Li, do you have time to chat for a while?"

The clerk named Li Li is the manager on duty at the flagship store, and Lao Bai often deals with her.

Li Li nodded: "When did you come to Guangzhou-Shenzhen?"

Lao Bai said, "I came here yesterday to attend an event. I came to see you when I had time. By the way, it doesn't look busy today."

Li Li sighed, looking uninterested, and said, "It's normal. Today is a working day, so there won't be too many people."

Lao Bai looked around and although there weren't many people on weekdays, it was still regrettable to see so few people.

This is Huayao’s highest-level flagship store and is usually very popular.

Zhong Zhe asked: "By the way, Sister Lili, are there any mobile phones arriving at the store today?"

Li Li was stunned: "...cell phone? What cell phone?"

"You do not know?"

"I don't know. There are no plans for mobile phones to arrive in the store these days. Only some tablets and laptops have arrived."

Zhong Zhe smiled and said to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, let me tell you, the people here have never heard of this news. What you heard must be fake news. There is no mobile phone in the store at all."

Lao Bai didn't say anything. He still felt that this was not fake news. The channel he used to obtain information was very reliable. There were rarely any problems in the past. If there were no special circumstances, he would definitely keep his promise.

Zhong Zhe said to Li Li again: "Sister Lili, Lao Bai is still counting on the P30 phone to arrive in the store today!"

Li Li was confused and looked at Lao Bai and asked, "Who did you tell this to?"

Lao Bai shook his head and didn't want to reveal the source of the channel. This matter cannot be talked about casually and cause trouble to others.

Zhong Zhe asked again: "I'm a little curious, have you seen the real P30?"

Li Li hesitated and shook her head: "No, we have only seen the promotional materials of P30."

Zhong Zhe smiled slightly, thinking that this was a typical PPT phone.

However, Zhong Zhe did not say this out loud. After all, the other party was the leader of the Huayao store, so he had to give him face no matter what.

Lao Bai asked: "When can we see the P30 prototype in the store?"

Li Li shook her head: "We haven't received any news yet. It may be the end of the month."

Zhong Zhe smiled and asked, "Sister Lili, can I really get P30 at the end of the month?"

Li Li didn't say anything either. Obviously, she didn't know whether the P30 prototype would be available in the store.

Zhong Zhe said to Lao Bai, "Okay, Lao Bai, we have asked all the questions we should ask. If there is nothing else, let's go and don't disturb others' work."

Lao Bai sighed, still somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and if there really was a mobile phone in the store, it should have arrived long ago.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhong Zhe patted Lao Bai on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, wait until the end of the month to see the situation."

The two said hello to Li Li and turned to leave.

Just then, Li Li's cell phone rang.

Li Li answered the phone immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, yes, I'm on duty today."

"What is it? Tell me, I can help you."

"Ah? There's a shipment coming? What's that?...Ah!? What!? Is this true? Oh my God!"

Hearing Li Li's exclamation, Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe stopped involuntarily and looked back at Li Li's reaction.

Li Li didn't know what she heard. She looked a little helpless and seemed a little bit unbelievable.

Li Li then said, "Okay, I understand. Where is the delivery? Huh? It's almost there!? Okay, okay, I'll go right away... I'll organize some people to pick up the goods right away. By the way, Mr. Zhao, how many boxes are there in total?... Oh my god, so many? I see. I'll find some more people."

After Li Li finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Lao Bai couldn't help but ask: "Li Li, what's going on? What happened?"

Li Li paused for a while before saying, "There is a batch of goods, a batch of goods is about to arrive at the store!"

"…What kind of stuff?"

At this moment, Lao Bai opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of determination. Lao Bai had to ask something or he would not give up.

Li Li didn't seem to intend to hide it: "It's a mobile phone, it should be...ah, it's a P30 phone."

"……What!?"

"What the hell! P30!?"

Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe were both stunned, as if they had heard it wrongly.

Li Li didn't intend to hide it and said it again.

"My boss called me just now and asked me to pick up a batch of goods. This batch of goods is P30 mobile phones."

Lao Bai reacted immediately and shouted, "Oh my! It's really P30! I told you, are you short of manpower? No, no, no, you must be short of manpower. Look at me, I'm young and strong. I'll help you collect the goods!"

Lao Bai also rolled up his short-sleeved shirt to show his biceps, proving that he is very strong and good at doing hard labor.

Li Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'm short of people here, so you can help us move it. Thank you very much."

"No trouble, no trouble, we have nothing to do anyway!"

Having said that, Lao Bai pulled Zhong Zhe out the door.

Li Li stopped them and said, "No, no, no, this is not the front door, this is the back door. Please sit down for a while, I'll call a few more people and we'll go together!"

Lao Bai smiled sheepishly: "Okay, we'll wait a while and you can organize it slowly."

Li Li started to greet people.

While waiting, Lao Bai was obviously restless and at a loss.

Lao Bai was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Here it comes! Zhong Zhe, did you see that? The P30 has arrived in the store! We were right, weren't we? My source is very reliable!"

At this moment, Zhong Zhe was stunned and dumbfounded, as if his soul had been drained out.

"…How could that be? That shouldn't be possible. P30 can be in the store right now. I don't believe it!"

Zhong Zhe seemed to have reaffirmed his opinion when he said this, and said to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, I still think this is unreliable!"

Lao Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you say it's unreliable? The leader has called me and his cell phone will arrive soon, and you still say it's unreliable! What did you say about me just now? Why can't you accept reality when it's your turn?"

Zhong Zhe shook his head: "It's not that I don't accept the reality, it's that this can't happen!"

“We’ll know soon whether it can happen or not!”

Lao Bai didn't want to argue with Zhong Zhe any more. It was too troublesome. He still had to let the facts speak for themselves.

At this time, Li Li had already organized all the people.

In addition to Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe, two other male clerks were also found.

Four men and one woman pulled three large flatbed trucks and walked towards the back door.

Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe walked behind.

Zhong Zhe whispered to Lao Bai, "Even if it's really the P30, there must not be many of them, at most a few prototypes."

"Don't be ridiculous. If it's just a few prototypes, why do we need so many people?"

Zhong Zhe's face froze. Maybe that wasn't the P30 prototype. Maybe there were other things arriving in the store.

Lao Bai glanced at Zhong Zhe and said, "You are a real man who won't cry until you see the coffin. When the time comes, we will see who is right!"

The two of them said nothing more and followed the group to the parking lot.

From a distance, a truck was parked not far away.

Li Li called out to everyone: "Over there! Everyone follow!"

Li Li was obviously very anxious.

A moment later, everyone came to the back of the truck and unloaded the goods from the carriage.

Wow, there are more than 30 boxes! They are all large boxes.

That’s quite a large number!

Lao Bai quickly looked at the label on the box.

【P30 Standard Edition】

【P30 pro】

【P30 PRO】

……

Lao Bai was grinning from ear to ear. He looked at Zhong Zhe and said, "Same product! So they are all P30!"

Chinese philosophy. I felt like I was suffocating, as if my faith had suddenly collapsed.

"Why did you arrive so quickly?"

No one answered Zhong Zhe's question and everyone was very excited.

The shop assistants were all very excited. Wow, the real stuff is finally here!

People hurriedly put more than thirty large boxes onto the flatbed truck.

These flatbed trucks were quickly filled with large boxes, which looked very spectacular.
Lao Bai said to Zhong Zhe, "Don't just stand there! Hurry up and help! Hold on to that side!... Hey, hey, hey, be careful, don't knock the box over, these are all treasures!"

A moment later, all the boxes were transported to the sorting room of Huayao flagship store."

Lao Bai couldn't wait any longer and said to Li Li, "Li Li, take one apart and let me touch it."

Li Li was stunned at first, then said, "By the way, Lao Bai, did you order a P30?"

Lao Bai quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! I ordered a P30PRO and a Qingshan Dai, the top configuration!"

Lao Bai's eyes lit up like light bulbs at this time, and he asked again: "Can you deliver it now?"

Li Li said, "I can't make a decision on this. I need to make a phone call to ask. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, okay! Hurry up!"

As he spoke, Lao Bai rubbed his hands.

Looking at the piles of P30s, all of which are unopened, my mouth is watering and I can't wait to get one.

Lao Bai even lowered his head to look for the Qingshandai P30PRO he had ordered.

At this time, Li Li dialed the leader's mobile phone number.

The other party picked up the call quickly.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, Lao Bai is here. Yes, that's the digital big V Lao Bai, very famous. He ordered a Qingshan Dai, the top-of-the-line model, and he wants to pick it up now. Do you allow us to do that?"

"Okay, I get it, I'll tell him."

"Okay, that's it, let's get busy, Mr. Zhao."

Li Li hung up the phone and turned around to see Lao Bai staring at her intently.

Lao Bai was still holding an unopened mobile phone in his hand.

No need to ask, it must be the top-of-the-line Qingshandai P30PRO that Walter Bai ordered.

"Li Li, how is it? What does the leader say? Can I take this machine in advance?"

Li Li was amused by Lao Bai's expression: "The leader has agreed. You can pick up the goods now, and you can also do the evaluation now."

Lao Bai asked: "Can we publish the P30 review now?"

Li Li nodded.

Lao Bai was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and his eyes were shining with gold.

Boy, this is awesome!

Not only did you get the P30 phone you had been longing for, but you also earned a lot of traffic.

Although this phone is not a media phone and was bought by Lao Bai himself, and Huayao has no control over him posting review programs, the two parties have always been in a cooperative relationship, and Lao Bai cannot but consider Huayao's ideas.

In other words, if Huayao doesn't want Lao Bai to publish a review at this time, Lao Bai will still respect it.

Speaking of which, Lao Bai is also a senior digital media person. There are piles of mobile phones at home, but he has never wanted a mobile phone so much.

It is no exaggeration to say that Walter White could even spend ten times the price to buy this P30.

At this moment, Zhong Zhe widened his eyes with great envy. Getting the P30 now means huge exposure and traffic.

Zhong Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Sister Lili, I want to order one now, can I pick it up?"

Li Li shook her head. "That's really not possible. If you want to order now, you have to wait in line because all of these products, except for a few prototypes, have already been taken."

Zhong Zhe asked again: "How many orders are there now?"

Li Li smiled and said, "I can't reveal the exact number. I can only tell you that a lot of people have ordered. Our store alone... Never mind. I really can't tell you that."

Lao Bai patted Zhong Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I don't know how long you'll have to wait if you place an order now."

Zhong Zhe came back to his senses and immediately said, "Lao Bai, please unpack it quickly and let's see what the phone looks like."

"That won't do. I can only take it apart when I'm doing a review. It would be too hasty to take it apart now!"

Lao Bai protected his phone and refused to give it to Zhong Zhe.

Lao Bai said again: "Isn't there a prototype here? Look at the prototype!"

A moment later, everyone came to the exhibition hall, and Li Li took a prototype and began to unpack it.

Lao Bai and Zhong Zhe were sitting there fidgeting, wishing they could take it apart themselves.

Zhong Zhe asked in a low voice: "Lao Bai, what do you think a processor is?"

Lao Bai was stunned for a moment: "What else could it be? Kirin 990+!"

“Do you really think it’s Kirin 990+?”

Lao Bai knew that Zhong Zhe didn't believe in the existence of this processor, so he said, "Don't guess yet. We'll know whether it is or not in a moment."

Soon, Li Li unpacked the phone.

The unemployed shop assistants nearby also gathered around, wanting to take a look at the P30.

In fact, there was nothing surprising. After the phone was taken out, it was exactly the same as what Wang Chengdong showed at the Huayao new product launch conference.

We have all seen the promotional materials for the P30 and have already memorized its appearance by heart.

But even so, I still felt a little excited after seeing the real machine, and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

When I first turned on the phone, the screen was very clear.

Lao Bai couldn't help but say: "This uses BOE's best diamond-like screen. The display effect is really amazing and the transparency is very high."

Zhong Zhe didn't care about the screen and said calmly: "Hurry up and check the CPU."
