"Yes, Xingyi Technology does have domineering capital and strength."
Other senior executives also spoke with emotion:
"If we had this strength, I would be more domineering than Xingyi Technology. I would just sell it for 499 and kill all our friends!"
"But it's a pity that we don't have the strength!"
The entire conference room fell silent. Everyone looked at me and me, not knowing what to do.
As soon as the Wujie AI speaker came out, it was like a snake beating seven inches away, killing all Xiaodu speakers.
"Then are we still making Xiaodu speakers?" Lu Yingxuan, president of Baidu Smart Home, couldn't help but ask.
Li Yan sighed: "What the heck, if you can't sell it for 549, and if you sell it for 499 and there's no profit, you may not be able to sell it well, so just give up. Just think that the billions are all wasted!"
"This... is good!" Lu Yingxuan responded, his expression extremely gloomy.
The smart home project went bankrupt and all his subordinates were laid off.
Now it's his own turn.
Originally, Xiaodu Audio was still around, so he still had a chance to give it another try, just in case Xiaodu Audio became popular...
But now, Xiaodu Audio is also getting colder.
“It’s not that I don’t do my best, nor does the Baidu Smart Home team don’t do their best, it’s that we got on the wrong boat!”
A sigh of helplessness.
How could they at Xingyi Technology complete all the projects but go bankrupt without even launching them?
Qu Xin, however, fell into deep thought: "The Smart Home project has invested more than one billion yuan, and it has produced some results. How about selling the technology and patents in a package? How much can we pay for it?"
Li Yan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, but who should I sell it to? Who has too much money to accept this thing?"
"That's right, what we developed with more than one billion yuan will at least be sold for hundreds of millions. The only ones that can eat it at once are Alibaba and Goose Factory."
Qu Xin analyzed: "But it shouldn't be possible for Alibaba. They have their own smart home project and are already working on it. They won't waste money anymore. As for the Goose Factory, they have no plans in this regard. You can contact them."
Li Yan nodded and looked at the person in charge of Zhijia: "Lao Lu, this is the last chance. I also want all the brothers to have a good future!"
Lu Yingxuan's mouth twitched: "..."
‘What’s a good way out? What good way out can there be by following Baidu?’
Why don't you understand what Li Yan means, that he wants to package and sell Baidu Smart Home to a goose factory?
But if this is the case, it is also a way out.
It is better to follow Goose Factory than to follow Baidu.
It is better to follow the goose factory than to be laid off and unemployed.
Lu Yingxuan took a deep breath: "Okay, Chairman, I understand, I will contact you."
"Well, I wish you good luck." Li Yan said with a smile, but he also understood that Goose Factory might not agree.
When Qu Xin looked at Lu Yingxuan's dejected look, he could not help but feel a bit like a rabbit dying and a fox grieving for its own kind.
The one who was laid off today was Baidu Zhijia's subsidiary. Will the next one be laid off be the project he is responsible for?
It was Lu Yingxuan who was kicked out today and forced to find a way out. Will it be Qu Xin who is kicked out and forced to find a way out next time?
This is entirely possible!
With Baidu's development model of rapid regression and rapid contraction, this is very possible.
Although BAT does everything, invests in everything, and launches dozens of projects a year, 95% of them fail in the end.
But Goose Factory and Alibaba always have a few successful companies, and their fundamentals are stable.
Although Goose Factory's social networking has been impacted by Changchao, QQ is still strong, and Tencent games are also scary.
Alibaba's e-commerce has also been affected, but Taobao is still number one, and Alipay has fallen to number two but is still outstanding.
But what about Baidu?
There are many investment projects, but almost none are successful.
Baidu Maps failed miserably, and Baidu Search was soon surpassed by Sogou Search.
Relying on the huge number of users of Xingyi Technology, Sogou search has risen rapidly and is changing with each passing day.
On the PC side, Baidu is still first and Sogou second.
But on the mobile side, Sogou has become the first, and Baidu has become the second.
There is no way, the shipment volume of Xingyi mobile phones, Wujie mobile phones, and Xingyi tablets is too large.
All have built-in Sogou search, which Baidu cannot do.
In addition, the Sogou input method is very easy to use, and you can start Sogou search directly from the input.
This is more convenient than Baidu in many scenarios.
Especially when writing something, you need to look up information when you reach a certain place.
To use Baidu, you have to close Word first, open the browser, open Baidu, enter keywords, and search.
With Sogou, you can directly click on the keyword in Word and instantly jump to Sogou search.
The Baidu browser next door hasn't opened yet, but Sogou has already published the results...
Coupled with the blessing of Xingyi Technology, Sogou's database and AI algorithm have advanced by leaps and bounds, and are only stronger than Baidu Search.
This caused Baidu’s basic market to be shaken!
"Maybe, I have to think about changing jobs. I don't know if Director Wang wants me..." Qu Xin sighed in his heart, it was hard not to have any ideas.
When the press conference was over, Wang Yi turned around and left. But halfway through, he turned back again:
"I just received a backstage notification. At this moment, our press conference has just ended. The online sales of xphone 3 have exceeded 1 million units. The online sales of xphone 3 plus have exceeded 2 million units!"
"As for offline sales, it's really impossible to estimate, but I think it should be very high. After all, the stores are selling very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, pictures appeared on the big screen at the back, which were live broadcasts from flagship stores and specialty stores across the country.
I saw long queues in all stores, many of them reaching the entrance of the Apple and Samsung flagship store next door.
This is true for the imperial capital, the magical capital, Guangshi, and Shenzhen.
The same is true for cities such as Jeju and Island City.
The picture keeps changing, and even the stores in the county have long queues.
Finally, the scene changed again. An Ele.me rider walked out of the store carrying backpacks and started delivering...
All are xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus!
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Thank you for your support. Although the stock this time is sufficient, with more than 10 million in stock, there is still some uncertainty due to the overly hot market."
"After all, as the most secure mobile phone in the world, with no backdoors and no fear of being monitored, there is still a possibility that tens of millions of dollars are not enough in stock."
"If you want to buy it, please hurry up. If you have any other needs or suggestions, you can also leave feedback on our Xingyi Forum. Our R&D personnel will check them one by one and try their best to solve them."
"For example, there was feedback from users before that Xingyi mobile phones have X ports and cannot be connected to computers to transfer data. Our Chat Business Department immediately launched the file transfer function.
It connects wirelessly with Bluetooth and transmits wirelessly. The hardware division also quickly launched an X port to USB port converter to easily connect to all computers."
"In addition, next year many computers will be upgraded to X ports with faster transmission."
“Thank you again for your support!”
Wang Yi left the stage and the press conference came to a successful conclusion.
The shock of everyone at the scene and netizens lasted for a long time:
"Holy crap, just after the press conference, 3 million units were sold? And it was just online?"
"Crazy, crazy, did all your money come from the strong wind?"
"Don't even buy it. Xphone 3 is poisonous. Let me buy one first for you to test the waters!"
"Upstairs, your abacus beads jumped on my face!"
“Who wouldn’t like a brand that is both obedient and strong?”
"Without the prism door, tens of millions of stocks would definitely be enough. With the prism door, even tens of millions of stocks would not be enough."
"Among other things, my cousin studying abroad queued up in the middle of the night to buy a few more and take them to school."
"We are close to the border, and there are many backpackers. They used to carry xphone 2pro, but now they carry xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus. They make money!"
"The crooked nuts are being snapped up like crazy, so we need to act quickly."
Especially the scenes of queuing up in various stores are so shocking!
In the past, many brands hired people to queue up every time they released a mobile phone.
It’s because this visual impact is so effective!
I saw a long queue of hundreds of people in front of the Xingyi flagship store, with no end in sight, and then I looked at the deserted Apple flagship store and Samsung flagship store next door...
Needless to say, everyone passing by knows that Xingyi mobile phones are good, but they all think that Apple and Samsung are no longer good!
This effect is much more effective than advertising.
Users will only believe what they see with their own eyes, not what is staged in advertisements.
It is conceivable that even Apple fans and Samsung fans will change their stance and choose to queue up to buy Xingyi mobile phones.
More importantly, there are many Douyin anchors who feel there is traffic and will record videos for Douyin, and even come to stores to live broadcast the queuing scene.
With this kind of blessing, Xingyi mobile phones are becoming more and more popular and sales are getting better and better!
No surprise, both xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus were sold out!
Especially after the Prism Gate, Xingyi mobile phones have become the first choice for most people.
The sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are even more popular than the previous xphone 2pro, completely breaking the sales record of xphone 2pro!
After all, the processor of xphone 2pro has not been upgraded. Like xphone 2, it is Kunpeng 702.
However, the processors of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are fully upgraded to Kunpeng 902, which is a substantial upgrade.
Many old Xingyi mobile phone users choose to switch to this generation!
In particular, foreign 4G has been developing for many years. Domestic 4G will most likely be promoted by the end of the year next year, so more users will change their phones.
Watching sales records being broken one after another, Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Fortunately, we have sufficient production capacity and can produce more than 16 million units in a month, otherwise we would not be able to withstand this wave of hot sales."
Zhu Changlin agreed: "Yes, this time the combined monthly sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are expected to exceed 20 million units!"
Wang Yi waved his hand.
Zhu Changlin frowned: "Chairman, you mean it can't be sold for 20 million? That's not true. With this market price, there is absolutely no problem."
Wang Yi smiled: "It's not that we can't sell 20 million units, but that 20 million units is too little. The two models combined can sell 25 million or even 27 million units!"
"So many!" Zhu Changlin was shocked.
Wang Yi was very calm: "The domestic sales of xphone 3 are 8 million units, and the xphone 3 plus sales are 11 million units, which is not a big problem. Overseas, the xphone 3 sales are 3 million units, and the xphone 3 plus sales are 5 million units, which is about the same."
This is the advantage of the two models. They increase the selectivity, giving users more choices and thus more sales.
Zhu Changlin nodded: "Yes, this time we have also made great efforts overseas. We have already sold 5 million units of parallel imports. It is no problem to sell another 3 million units. It is similar in China. So, is there really hope to exceed 27 million units?"
"Of course, keep an eye on factory production and don't let things slip at critical moments. With the Prism scandal, our xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus should set a record! If we can't reach 25 million units of monthly sales, we will be sorry for Brother Deng!"
"Don't worry, Chairman, I have to lead people to continue to develop the Xingyi mobile phone X1, and arrange for the top management of the production department to go to the three major factories to keep an eye on it in person!"
"Yes." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
In September, the combined monthly sales of the two mobile phones were 27 million units, and another 20 million units were sold in October. After November, sales stabilized, with monthly sales of about 16 million units...
This is the most ideal state, which is exactly in line with the total production capacity of Xingyi Mobile's own factory.
There will not be excess inventory, nor will there be insufficient production capacity.
And it’s not too difficult.
It is easier to sell 20 million units of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus together than 15 million units of xphone 2pro.
It is precisely for this reason that Apple will make four subsequent first-generation models: iPhone 18, iPhone 18 plus, iPhone 18 pro, and iPhone 18 pro max.
The more points, the more styles, the more choices consumers have, and the higher the sales!
Moreover, the research and development cost is also low, and all four models are modified from one...
Wang Yi changed the topic: "Next, overseas dealers will purchase goods, and we have made arrangements for them. Anyway, we will ship the goods in full price. I am not afraid that they will buy too much, but I am afraid that they will not buy!"
"Okay, Chairman." Zhu Changlin responded.
This is a good opportunity.
There are also parallel import sales of previous generations of mobile phones, but not particularly large.
But this time, parallel import sales surged several times!
The reason is simple, prism door!
There is no prism door. Most foreigners use Apple, Samsung, Nokia, and LG. Only a few people will pay more to buy Xingyi mobile phones.
Now that the Prism scandal has broken out, foreigners have begun to rush to buy Xingyi mobile phones, even if the price is doubled, they will buy it.
Waiguoren has always been very concerned about the issue of privacy and security protection.
It is precisely because of this that some foreign users collectively sued Apple for privacy infringement and won the lawsuit.
Now that the Prism Gate has broken out in full force, it has even more catalyzed their use of Xingyi mobile phones.
What’s even more interesting is that in addition to the XOS system, the system center of the Xingyi mobile phone also has the native Android system.
Originally, when foreigners bought Xingyi mobile phones, they would immediately switch to the native Android system.
But since the Prism Gate outbreak, Wang Yi discovered that foreign users no longer switch to Android systems and continue to use XOS systems.
There are also those users who had switched to the Android system before, but after the Prism Gate outbreak, they all switched to the XOS system.
There is no way, Android has a backdoor and can be monitored at any time.
As for the XOS system, there is no Facebook, no Twitter, no YouTube, no Google...
It's not a big problem. These softwares are all monitored, and foreigners are beginning to resist them and are looking for alternatives to the XOS system.
For example, socializing, friends and family can chat together.
The oil pipe has a back door, so I changed it to use Douyin.
If Google Chrome is being monitored, use Sogou Browser of XOS.
Even games have started to be played from the XOS Game Store.
Except for those that cannot be replaced, continue to use your old Android phones, old iPhones, and old Nokia phones.
Anyone who has the XOS system and can replace it will use a brand new Xingyi phone.
Of course, high-privacy services such as making phone calls and sending text messages are also performed by Xingyi mobile phones.
This change has greatly increased the number of overseas users of the XOS system.
This is something that even Wang Yi could not imagine.
Originally, Wang Yi was still thinking about how to let overseas application vendors adapt to the XOS system so that it could replace the Android system overseas.
They are even considering launching an Android emulator to use Android software on the XOS system.
But now it’s okay, once the Prism Gate broke out, the Android system itself crashed!
There are backdoors in Android, which forces foreign users to choose the pure-blood XOS system.
There is no need to use an Android emulator, just use the pure-blood XOS system.
At present, foreign users support the XOS system and use the Xingyi mobile phone as their main mobile phone, which will force those foreign application vendors to actively adapt to the XOS system!
There is no way, if you don’t want to be abandoned by foreign users, you must adapt to the XOS system!
It can be said that the roles are reversed now.
It’s not that Wang Yi is begging foreign application developers and foreign game developers to adapt to the XOS system, but foreign application vendors and foreign game developers, in turn, take the initiative to adapt to the XOS system!
There is no doubt about this.
Especially with the large-scale distribution and sales of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus parallel products overseas, the number of overseas users has increased, and the number of compatible application providers has also increased.
In the past, the overseas parallel import sales of xphone 2 and xphone 2pro were not particularly large, only a fraction of the domestic sales.
The reason is simple. Both xphone 2 and xphone 2pro are 3G mobile phones and do not support 4G networks of Omega, Japan and South Korea.
This forces many users to give up.
But xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus have been fully upgraded to support 4G, so there are no shortcomings and worries.
The sales volume will also be much higher than that of xphone 2 and xphone 2pro.
Coupled with the impact of prism door, it can even be several times that of xphone 2 and xphone 2pro!
This is why Wang Yi chose to sell five million units of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus as parallel imports right after they were launched!
It means to spread it globally as soon as possible and curve internationalization.
Not only can it increase its sales, it can also defeat Apple and seize part of the iPhone market.
The simplest thing is that by the time the iPhone 5S is released on the 10th and gradually goes on sale on the 20th, it will take more than 20 days for xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus to have been sold to the global market by parallel importers, right?
They even sold a lot!
It’s just a time difference!
In 20 days, with normal shipping and customs clearance, the rice is almost ready.
Not to mention smuggling... that would be faster...
As for the Stick Country, the Neon Country, and the European League, it will only be faster.
This can be regarded as another surprise for Apple from Wang Yi!
Apple doesn't know about this.
Just after watching the xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus launch conference, the entire conference room became depressed.
"Powerful, too powerful!" Cook sighed repeatedly:
"This time, Xingyi's new flagship is released in two models at once. The 28nm Kunpeng 902 is extremely powerful, with 4G full network connectivity and 20W ultra-fast fast charging! They are all ridiculously powerful and have no shortcomings at all."
The vice president nodded: "Yes, it's too powerful. In comparison, our iPhone 5s's processor is not as powerful as the other's, and the charging is only 5 watts, far inferior to their 20 watts. The screen is still 4.0 inches, which is indeed smaller.
Point. The battery is also small. Although the IOS7 system is also upgraded to 64-bit system, most of the applications are 32-bit, which is not as good as the other one. There is a huge difference."
"Yes. Fortunately, xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus are only sold in Xiaguo. If they were sold globally, it would be nothing like our iPhone 5s!"
"Yes, this is the only good news. But I always feel that these good days are coming to an end."
"I think so too. Xingyi mobile phone is like an Eastern dragon that can dominate the world. It only hovers in Xia Kingdom now, but it will soon dominate the world!"
"It is indeed very soon. I feel that it may be next year."
"I think so too."
"Next year...if Xingyi Technology becomes truly globalized, we will be in danger!"
Everyone looked gloomy, and the more they talked, the more melancholy they became.
The current sales of iPhones are pretty good, and they all rely on the international market to maintain them, and all because Xingyi Mobile has not been internationalized.
But next year, if Xingyi Mobile becomes international, the global sales of iPhone will collapse.
"Especially Wang Yi specifically named it, saying that our 4-inch small screen is suitable for feature phones, saying that we will definitely launch 4.7-inch or even 5.5-inch large-screen mobile phones next year. This directly denied the future of small-screen mobile phones and gave us the iPhone 5s
The sales volume has been covered with a layer of frost.”
"This is simply a conspiracy!"
"Yes, we have to admit the conspiracy, and we won't be able to do it until it comes out!"
Cook sighed: "Next year's iPhone 6 will be the same as the xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus, and will also be made into two types, a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6plus!"
"Xiao Ping, there is really no future."
Others also spoke up: "Don't talk about users, I feel tired when I play by myself. Whether it's playing games or watching videos, 4.0 inches is too small!"
"Yes, I think so too."
"To put it bluntly, I only use iPhone 5S to make calls. I usually use xphone 2pro to watch videos and play games..."
"Ahem, me too. Although we are rivals, we have to admit that xphone 2pro surpasses us in many aspects."
"Charging is faster, the sound quality is better, the 64-bit system is more powerful, the large-screen display effect is much better, and the battery life is longer..."
"I suggest that our next generation should follow the path of Xingyi Mobile."
"That's right, taking Xingyi Mobile's path will leave Xingyi Mobile with nowhere to go!"
"Although this is a bit of a price drop, the sales volume is definitely good. Xingyi Mobile has grasped the minds of users and the sales code!"
Listening to everyone's words, Cook took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, as you said, take the path of Xingyi Mobile, leaving Xingyi Mobile with no way to go."
“Next year’s iPhone 6 will be fully updated with a larger screen!”
"At the same time, inform major application vendors to speed up the development and adaptation of 64-bit applications, and comprehensively upgrade 64-bit applications as soon as possible, so that they can take advantage of the 64-bit advantages like the XOS system!"
"yes!"
Cook was filled with emotion: "Fortunately, Xingyi Mobile has not been globalized this year. We still have time and opportunity. Otherwise, we will be in big trouble..."
However, what Cook didn't know was that just when he was feeling lucky, five million xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus units had been scattered around the world and poured into the Omi market through various methods!
The main thing is a surprise!
On September 2nd, not only did the domestic sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus surge, there were also a large number of parallel imports in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Although the price has doubled, people are still snatching it up.
On September 3rd, a large number of parallel imports of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus appeared in Neon Country and Bangzi Country. The price in RMB equivalent was more than 10,000, or even 15,000, and they were still being robbed.
Then, parallel imports of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus also appeared in Maozi, Asan, Euroleague, and the Middle East.
The prices have also doubled, but they are still popular.
Looking at this scene, Samsung felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.
Chapter completed!
