After settling the accumulated matters that needed to be handled by himself - mainly procedural matters, Wei Qingfan began to focus on the press conference.
The company now has very little remaining funds, and in order to cooperate with
To promote "the company puts all its funds on its products", he chose the most affordable 798 Art District among the many press conferences. This was also the address of Xiaomi's previous press conferences.
The specific address is Art Factory, a large space of 800 square meters. He actually inspected it and found that it was originally an old factory that was renovated, and even some of the original machines were retained.
Frankly speaking, although he has experience in later generations, it is really the first time for Wei Qingfan to launch a product in public - similar experiences in his previous life were basically zero, and this life can be traced back to his high school acceptance speech.
Wei Qingfan was a little nervous, so he made a reservation for a week ahead of the 416 press conference to set up the venue and rehearse.
In addition, warm-up, publicity, and the most important press conference must be carefully prepared.
At the same time, regarding
The news that "Ancient Poetry Company is going to build a mobile phone" also began to spread on the Internet. At first, employees from the marketing department broke the news on Tieba, and then someone quickly transferred it to the Luoshen community, and it caused extensive discussions.
"I saw someone on the Internet reported that Gu Shi Ci Company is already making mobile phones." There was no class on Wednesday afternoon, so Cao Ze went out to eat with Xie Yao. After returning to the dormitory, he learned the news from Qian Yue.
"I've seen it too, but it's useless. There have been so many already, and I can't be sure!" Shen Yuying curled her lips, and Qi Ji said: "Cao Cao, isn't your little boy doing an internship in ancient poetry?
Ask!" Cao Ze said: "As an intern, what can he know?"
"Ask me!"
"That's right!" Among the four people in the dormitory, Qian Yue's Meizu m8 and Shen Yuying's htcg2 are all flashed with the Luoshen system and can download games and software at will. Only Qi Ji's n78 and Cao Ze's n76 can't do anything.
Cao Ze wanted to fall in love. He was relatively poor, especially since his part-time job in the navy had disappeared recently. He was even poorer and had no idea of changing his mobile phone. However, Qi Jike had been thinking about changing his mobile phone and said: "If you really want to do it,
, I will just wait, if not, I will just buy Meizu m8."
"What m8 should I buy..." Chen Xiaoming from the next door dormitory ran over to visit, still holding his n97 in his hand, opened and closed the sliding keyboard, curled his lips and said: "You might as well buy my n97, how cool...
…You don’t even know how to take pictures with your mobile phone!” When everyone was a student, they would probably meet someone who liked to show off, and the pretense was very superficial. There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoming is the person in Cao Ze’s class now. This person’s family has a little bit of a problem.
Money, people are not bad, just a bit annoying, similar to
"Pretender" and
A combination of "gangjing". Chen Xiaoming often comes here to visit and are familiar with each other as classmates for three years. Qian Yue sneered and retorted unceremoniously: "Can your n97 download games?"
Chen Xiaoming curled his lips disdainfully and said, "My workmanship is good, and it's also Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone brand. It's so prestigious, but it's not better than your domestic brand?"
"Can your n97 download games?"
"My memory is 32g, and I can still use a memory card. Yours is a little bigger, and it will be full if you store a few songs and movies..." Chen Xiaoming continued to be disdainful.
"Can your n97 download games?"
"I also have a Zeiss lens here. Do you know Zeiss? A camera manufacturer. That camera costs tens of thousands..."
"Can your n97 download games?"
"..." Chen Xiaoming finally got a little annoyed and said angrily: "Can you stop mentioning downloading games all the time?"
"Can your n97 download games?"
"Fuck!" Chen Xiaoming cursed and turned away angrily. Shen Yuying, Qi Ji, and Cao Ze couldn't help laughing. Cao Ze was a little worried that Chen Xiaoming would be angry, so he turned on the computer and looked back.
But Chen Xiaoming turned around and came back again, and said humbly: "Well..." All four people in the dormitory turned to look at him. Chen Xiaoming was a little embarrassed and said to Qian Yue and Shen Yuying: "What... Which of you two can lend me your phone?"
How about cutting some fruit? Now that I have found the trick, I can definitely help you get high scores..."
"Then why are you pretending to be stupid?" Shen Yuying handed over her G2 angrily.
“How good would it be to buy an Android phone sooner?”
"That's different. Nokia is a big brand, I don't like other brands!" Chen Xiaoming was still stubborn, took the phone, sat down on the pony next to him, and started cutting impatiently.
Qi Ji was also a little envious of the treatment of being borrowed his mobile phone. He felt happy just thinking about it and said, "Tie Cao, please remember to ask! If you don't do it, I will just change it!" Qian Yue advised: "Let's wait.
, it seems that Meizu m9 is coming soon." Chen Xiaoming looked at the advertisement after the death, and retorted unconvinced: "n98 is coming soon, it must be more awesome!" Qi Ji said angrily: "Go away, I won't even buy Nokia.
!" Cao Zedao: "Okay, I'll send a message later to ask." He logged in to QQ and was about to ask Wei Qingfan when Qian Yue suddenly shouted: "Fuck!" Shen Yuying said: "You are so special.
You scared me, what happened?" Chen Xiaoming also said: "You scared me too, they even cut the bomb!" Qi Jidao: "How on earth did you not cut the bomb?" Qian Yue shouted: "It's sure!
Ancient poetry is really being made into mobile phones!”
"Really?" Qi Ji suddenly became excited,
"Where did you see it?"
"Luoshen Community, their boss posted a confirmation!" Because Wei Qingfan's surname is also Wei, when the boss of their dormitory mentions ancient poetry, Mr. Wei is not called Mr. Wei, but is called the boss directly to avoid confusion with Wei Qingfan. After all,
This surname is relatively rare, so I feel weird when I call it.
"Fuck!"
"real or fake?"
"I gonna go see!"
"Send the link? Send it to the group!"
"You can see it by clicking in... The post that broke the news is the reply from floor 273..." Cao Ze also opened the webpage and entered the Luoshen community. Sure enough, he saw a post below the pinned post with a breaking news post. After clicking in,
The poster whose ID is a string of numbers broke the news: top secret news!
I got it from the foundry, and Gu Shi Ci’s mobile phone was already being tested years ago! Really! Don’t lie to me, brothers!
I dare to swear that I will never tell a lie for more than thirty seconds in my life! A bunch of people responded below, some were making fun of it, and some were discussing it.
The page on the 50th floor has already reached more than 20 pages. Cao Ze got a reminder and jumped directly to the sixth page and found the 273rd floor. Sure enough, he saw that it was the account of Mr. Wei, the boss of ancient poetry, with a red ID name.
, easy to identify.
The reply content was just one sentence: "You don't have to wait too long, everyone can look forward to it!" The replies from the floors below were basically: "Holy shit, is it true?"
"Mr. Wei, can you tell me more?"
"How much does it cost? Can it be cheaper?"
"It's a real person! Brothers, Luoshen Mobile is really coming!"
“It’s awesome, I will definitely buy it if it’s under 3,000!”
"When? I'm about to change my mobile phone..."...Shen Yuying said: "Holy crap, really?" Qi Jidao: "It doesn't say when it will be, who knows how long we have to wait..." Qian
Yue said: "It won't take too long, it should be soon, right?" Cao Zedao: "It must be this year..." He was a little entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he wanted to buy it, but on the other hand, he knew that he didn't have that much money.
Seeing the lively discussion between them, Chen Xiaoming couldn't help but come over to take a look, and then curled his lips and said: "It's just a domestic brand... It's better to look forward to n98..."
"No one is stopping you from buying your n98..."
"Labor and management just like domestic brands, what's wrong?"
"Can your Nokia download games?"
"Why the hell can you not mention downloading games?" Cao Ze ignored their noise, thought for a while, and sent a message to Wei Qingfan: "Do you know about your company's mobile phone business?" Wei Qingfan quickly said
Reply: "You knew it so soon?" Cao Ze: "Qian Yue and the others saw it." Wei Qingfan: "It will definitely be released in the first half of the year." Cao Ze: "No, I just wanted to ask how much it would cost.
Wei Qingfan: "Do you want to buy it?" Cao Ze: "Yes, I have used this n76 for more than two years... but I am afraid it is too expensive and I can't afford it." Cao Ze: "You buy it internally within the company."
Can it be cheaper?" Wei Qingfan: "I can't say yet. I'll tell you some news when the time comes." Cao Ze: "Okay!" He felt happy in his heart, but then he thought about it and felt a little worried, because maybe
I wanted to change with Xie Yao, but I really didn’t have that much money. After thinking about it, I went to the part-time group to see if there were any part-time jobs on the weekends. If I could make a little money, I would do it.
"Who is it?" Wei Qingfan was having dinner with Li Miaoyu. After putting away her phone, she asked curiously.
"Cao Ze, ask me about my cell phone." Wei Qingfan sighed. He actually wanted to help Cao Ze, but he had to take care of the other person's feelings. He kept hiding it.
Part of the reason for the identity of "Mr. Wei" is also for this. Although Cao Ze took a bachelor's degree, his major was a bit embarrassing, and he only focused on falling in love in college, so he didn't even take the test, so he didn't learn anything, like
It would be inappropriate for Jiang Qinghuai to give him a part-time job like that.
"Does he want to change his mobile phone?" Li Miaoyu blinked, and she could understand Wei Qingfan's mood, because when she was very young, she faced similar problems. She always wore two sets of clothes in and out of school. After entering university,
Only occasionally do I wear some luxury goods on campus.
Wei Qingfan nodded, not too entangled. After all, they grew up together as best friends and still have some confidence in friendship. To a certain extent, the relationship between two people is a mirror, and the other person's attitude depends on your attitude.
In their previous lives, one of them lived in the capital and the other in a small county. Naturally, there were differences brought about by the environment, but it did not prevent them from getting together every year. When something happened, they would call each other directly.
Li Miaoyu asked: "Then what did you tell him?"
"Just say that it will definitely be released in the first half of the year. Otherwise, if you just say it directly, it won't reveal the truth?"
"Well..." Li Miaoyu nodded, then blinked and said with a smile: "You said, after the press conference, if Cao Ze knows about it, will he hit you?" Wei Qingfan said with a smile: "Probably not.
, he knows he can't beat me." Li Miaoyu rolled her eyes at him, and then sighed quietly.
Wei Qingfan took a mouthful of food and asked, "What's wrong?" Li Miaoyu asked seriously, "Don't you think Cao Ze has changed a lot?"
"I discovered it. I am more mature."
"No." Li Miaoyu glared at him.
"Xie Yao told me that Cao Ze talks less and is not as talkative as before when he was chasing her."
"So he has matured." Wei Qingfan sighed, stopped tacitly, and said: "I really want to save face, and I don't have that much money, so I have to make myself look fat... If this continues, Xie Yao will feel uncomfortable.
He feels uncomfortable too."
"What should we do?" Li Miaoyu looked at him, his big watery eyes blinking.
"They won't break up, right?"
"How do I know? But the two of them have to resolve this matter by themselves. Don't interfere blindly. It's better for me to interfere than for you to interfere."
"I know. I'll just follow what Xie Yao says. It's much easier for us girls to get along than you boys."
"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard since I was a kid."
"what do you mean?"
"Praising you girls for being simple-minded!"
"Huh!" Li Miaoyu rolled his eyes,
"Scumbag!" After eating, Li Miaoyu went back to the library to continue his review, and Wei Qingfan returned to the company and took a look at the community situation.
Before he left the company, he responded to a message in the Luoshen community and confirmed that he could make mobile phones. At this time, he had already reached more than 800 floors, which can be said to have caused a huge response.
As far as Wei Qingfan knows, when Xiaomi released its mobile phone in the previous life, the number of miui users had exceeded 500,000, while the number of users of the Luoshen system at this time had not reached 300,000.
This is normal, because the Luoshen system is a full year ahead of Miui, and 10 and 11 were the two years when Android phones were officially shipped in large quantities. By August 2011, before the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference, the Android system was already the world's leading system.
The first major system.
Hardware is the soil. Even if the Luoshen system is adapted to a large number of non-Android mobile phones - basically all the hardware supports it, the soil is still much smaller than Miui a year later.
The current achievements are the result of Wei Qingfan's foresight and foresight, and the joint efforts of the navy and the tap water.
Fortunately, there are disadvantages and advantages to being a year in advance. The enthusiastic feedback from the Internet gave Wei Qingfan another reassurance.
The whole company is making intensive preparations, and the time is quickly entering the middle of the year. On Thursday, March 11th, Guci mobile phones will begin the first batch of small-scale mass production and stocking up.
There was a lot of opposition to this within the company, because mass production started so early, and once sales failed to keep up, there was a high probability that there would be a backlog of inventory, which might directly crush the company. However, under Wei Qingfan's insistence
, mass production and stocking have begun.
The goal is to have 300,000 units in stock when it is officially launched. In order to stock up, the company has basically spent all its funds and has accumulated debts of more than 250 million.
Only by selling all these mobile phones can we recover the funds and pay the balance on time. On the same day, the official website of Gushici Company, the official website of Luoshen System, the web and mobile terminals of Luoshen Forum, the official Weibo of Luoshen System, and the official Weibo of Gushici Company
, at the same time released the first generation Guci mobile phone conference poster.
