Chapter 1279 Lei Jun: I have a friend who is very powerful (40008000)
While the people in the audience were chatting, they didn't notice that the stage had quietly changed.
Cao Shujie glanced and saw someone ascending to the high platform of the venue and turning on the big screen on the high platform.
This is a large screen. After the staff is finished, the screen will show a picture of a bay blue new energy car that Cao Shujie had seen in the super factory speeding along the seaside.
Because the speed was too fast, the car cut the water in half in an instant.
When most of the people present saw this scene, they began to become excited.
This is the first time that Xiaomi Motors has fully demonstrated this new car to the outside world.
Judging from its appearance design, it does incorporate a lot of Porsche style, but the details are also different.
After the first scene ended, the lights at the scene completely dimmed, and then densely packed rectangular nameplates appeared on the big screen. Each nameplate said words such as Weibo, Bilibili, Baidu, Douyin, and Kuaishou.
, the financial sector, Little Love Home and other media names.
These are also the media units participating in the on-site press conference today, a total of 187.
After the staff behind the scenes finished the introduction, the picture on the big screen then changed to the picture of the rear of the Gulf Blue car just now.
When the 54321 countdown began to appear on the screen, the lights on the stage flashed across each other, and Lei Jun followed suit and walked onto the stage.
Arriving at the center of the stage, Lei Jun, wearing a casual suit, was all smiles: "Hello everyone, welcome all friends to today's Xiaomi new energy vehicle press conference. On behalf of the Xiaomi new energy vehicle team, I would like to extend my warmest welcome again."
A burst of warm applause rang out, and the words on the screen changed again: "Xiaomi People and Chejia Full Ecology"
Then Lei Jun introduced Xiaomi’s 2021 financial report.
During his introduction, these financial report data were also announced on the big screen.
For example, Xiaomi's 2021 financial report reported revenue of 328.3 billion yuan, net profit of 22 billion yuan, and total R&D investment of 13.2 billion yuan.
Smartphone revenue for the whole year of 2021 will reach 208.9 billion yuan. Xiaomi's global smartphone shipments and market share in 2021 will hit a record high, with full-year smartphone shipments of 190 million units, a year-on-year increase of 30%.
According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s mobile phone overseas market revenue is 163.6 billion yuan, and its smartphone shipments rank in the top 5 of 62 major markets around the world, ranking first in 14 major markets.
These data are impeccable.
At the same time, Lei Jun also announced another set of important data. According to Xiaomi Group statistics, at the time of the press conference, there were more than 500 million users of Xiaomi mobile phones, tablets or other smart terminals worldwide.
"The above data provides important support for us to develop Xiaomi new energy vehicles."
"In addition, our R&D investment this year is expected to reach more than 15 billion yuan, and the final investment may be 17 billion yuan, with a cash reserve of 100 billion yuan, and innovative businesses such as automobiles of 10 billion yuan..."
In the audience, Cao Shujie and the others listened to Lei Jun talking about these key data on the stage. It was impossible not to admire them. From this aspect, Xiaomi is indeed very powerful and perfect in all aspects.
"In order to build a good car, we spare no expense. We have carried out various extreme tests in different environments in more than 300 cities across the country. The total test mileage of Xiaomi's new energy vehicles exceeds 5 million kilometers, which is equivalent to circling the earth more than 130 times."
When Lei Jun said this, photos, pictures, and even videos of Xiaomi cars being tested in various environments in more than 300 cities across the country also appeared on the big screen to verify their authenticity.
Cao Shujie believed in this link. Whether others believed it or not was beyond Cao Shujie's consideration.
"Okay!" I don't know who took the lead in cheering, and then there was applause.
According to Lei Jun, 570 sample cars were put into testing alone, and it was also the largest sample test among all models in the country.
After talking about these basic data, Lei Jun said another thing about Xiaomi's participation in the exhibition: "After we made the Xiaomi new energy vehicle, we took it to Barcelona, Spain for exhibition. The audience who watched the car at the time could say
There are so many people, and because of this, the organizers force us to limit the number of exhibitors to ensure the safety of everyone."
“After participating in this exhibition, overseas media gave rave reviews to Xiaomi’s new energy vehicles.”
Judging from the photos displayed on the big screen, there are indeed many foreigners at the exhibition site looking at the car, taking pictures, asking questions, etc.
At least it shows that the design and performance of this car are very popular abroad.
At this time, Cao Shujie, who was sitting in the audience under the high platform, was thinking that this car would definitely be a big seller under the promotion of Lei Jun's strong marketing capabilities.
In this regard, Cao Shujie has strong confidence in Lei Jun. Many media privately call Lei Jun the King of Marketing. This title is not just given casually. It is a nickname he earned through his achievements time and time again.
But what Cao Shujie didn't expect was that after Lei Jun finished talking about these basic data related to cars, he suddenly changed the topic.
He turned around and pointed at the Gulf blue Xiaomi new energy car that appeared on the big screen: "Speaking of Xiaomi new energy car, we can see this new energy car here today. I think we should thank a friend of mine. If
Without him, I might participate in the competition for new energy vehicles in a certain year in the future, but I would not join this ranks in 2017 like I do now."
"If it weren't for him, the development process of Xiaomi cars would not be as smooth as it is now. We have made breakthrough progress in just 4 years, and even now have a car that is very superior from design to performance.
, and new energy vehicles that are not particularly expensive will be officially put on the market for sale.”
"After hard work, my team and I were able to come up with products with sincerity, and I think this friend of mine deserves the most credit."
When Lei Jun said these words, the audience in the audience was stunned.
Those from the 187 media outlets also looked at Lei Jun on the stage without knowing why.
At this moment, they were very confused. What did Lei Jun mean by saying this?
This friend of Lei Jun actually received such high recognition from Lei Jun. Who is he?
Many people in the audience were speculating.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, we all want to find this mysterious person.
However, only the people in the Xiaomi Automobile R&D team in the audience really understood who Lei Jun on the stage was talking about.
When Cao Shujie heard Lei Jun talking about his friend, he already knew that this guy was talking about himself.
But because of this, Cao Shujie was still complaining about Lei Jun in his heart, but he didn't expect that Lao Lei would do this today.
However, Cao Shujie is not afraid of being exposed. To him, this is a trivial matter. However, when it comes to the Xiaomi car, Cao Shujie has been hiding behind the scenes. Now that he is suddenly rushed to the stage by Lei Jun, Cao Shujie still feels a little unhappy.
Zhang Tong, who was watching from the audience at this time, also had an indescribable smile on his face.
Cheng Xiaolin was not aware that the mysterious person Lei Jun was talking about was her husband. She also asked Zhang Tong: "Sister Tong, who is Mr. Lei talking about?"
"Uh, you didn't know?" Zhang Tong thought this was incredible.
When Cheng Xiaolin asked her this question, Zhang Tong seemed to have heard the biggest joke of the century, so that the expression on her face was actually a bit funny.
Cheng Xiaolin spread her hands in front of her and said in a strong rhetorical tone: "Is it possible that I know him?"
Zhang Tong teased her: "Linlin, what should I say? You two lie on the same bed every day, and you don't even know about Mr. Cao?"
"Shujie?" Cheng Xiaolin was speechless.
After a moment, she continued: "Didn't Shujie only invest a small amount of money?"
Zhang Tong stared, reached out and patted Cao Shujie who was sitting in front of him. When Cao Shujie turned to look at her, Zhang Tong said: "Mr. Cao, this is your fault. You didn't tell Sister Linlin about such a big matter."
Said."
"Old Lei hurt me." Cao Shujie curled his lips.
"Haha!" Zhang Tong covered his mouth and laughed.
She then told Cao Shujie: "How can we blame our Lao Lei for this matter? Who told you to lie to him for his hard work in making new energy vehicles? You are treating him like tit for tat."
Only then did Cheng Xiaolin belatedly realize what she didn't know, and then looked at her husband: "Did you really trick Mr. Lei into making a new energy vehicle? Didn't we just joke about it at the beginning?"
"Honey, what did I say for fun? Besides, it's not a lie. Don't you think Mr. Lei succeeded?" Cao Shujie was helpless.
There were many things that seemed like a joke to his wife, but Cao Shujie did them seriously.
Because of this, Cheng Xiaolin's preconceived notions did not expect her husband to be so deeply involved in Xiaomi New Energy Vehicles.
Zhang Tong reminded Cheng Xiaolin: "Do you still remember the time when Mr. Cao came to the capital three years ago?"
Seeing Cheng Xiaolin nodding, Zhang Tong continued: "According to our Lao Lei, that time Mr. Cao gave a class to the Xiaomi Automobile R&D team. It was also because of Mr. Cao's class that the R&D team knew what to do later.
The right path helped Xiaomi Automobile R&D team save a lot of time that time."
When Cheng Xiaolin was surprised, Lei Jun on the stage said: "The friend I just mentioned is Cao Shujie from Dongshan Province. I am also honored to invite him to the scene today. Let us welcome him to the stage with the warmest applause."
OK?"
Everyone in the audience has long wanted to know who the mysterious person Lei Jun mentioned was?
When they heard Lei Jun say Cao Shujie's name, they were already surprised. When they heard Lei Jun say that Cao Shujie was at the scene, everyone started to feel excited, as if they were waiting for the moment when the mysterious prize was announced.
However, some people are wondering why the qualified name ‘Cao Shujie’ is so familiar, as if they have heard it somewhere.
When Cao Shujie was sitting in the audience and there was no movement, the lights on the scene had already hit Cao Shujie. The meaning was very obvious.
Many people sitting around and behind Cao Shujie were also confused. They didn't expect that this young-looking man was actually Lei Jun's friend. Moreover, according to Lei Jun, Xiaomi's ability to quickly develop and successfully launch the car was inseparable from Cao Shujie.
relation.
"Mr. Cao, come on stage quickly, everyone is waiting for you to come up and say a few words." Lei Jun said on the stage.
Cao Shujie said: "Mr. Lei, you are hurting me."
"How can this be called harm? Mr. Cao, you can appear in front of 187 media today and let audiences across the country know you. What a rare opportunity it is." Lei Jun said with a smile.
He was initially tricked by Cao Shujie, and it took him more than 4 years, an investment of more than 10 billion, and a lot of financial and material resources to finally successfully develop the Xiaomi car and put it on the market.
At this moment, Lei Jun would do anything to avenge his original attack.
Seeing Cao Shujie finally get up from the auditorium and walk towards the high platform, the smile on Lei Jun's face became even wider.
Before this, Lei Jun didn't reveal any news to Cao Shujie. He just wanted to give Cao Shujie a huge 'surprise'. Now it seems that this arrangement is perfect.
Cao Shujie walked onto the high platform under the watchful eyes of all the audience. At this time, Lei Jun also specially arranged for the on-site staff to display Cao Shujie's head on the big screen at the back. This was for fear that the people behind him would be too far away and would not be able to see Cao Shujie.
What does it look like.
Cao Shujie turned around and saw the big picture on the screen. He pointed at Lei Jun and said, "Mr. Lei, you are really hurting me."
"Haha!" Lei Jun smiled proudly
At this time, the audience at the scene looked at Lei Jun and Cao Shujie standing side by side on the high platform, especially towards Cao Shujie who had just come on stage. Most of the people in the scene showed strong curiosity.
However, the special guest seats on the other side of the scene, Cao Shuxu, the general manager of Yaxu Electronics Factory, and Xu Daihua, the executive director, saw Cao Shujie suddenly ascending to the high platform, and they were a little unable to react.
They never knew that Cao Shujie and Xiaomi Auto had such a deep connection, and according to what Lei Jun said just now, Cao Shujie was the one who instigated Lei Jun to develop Xiaomi Auto.
When Lei Jun introduced that Cao Shujie was the earliest shareholder of Xiaomi Motors and one of its partners, the people at the scene were in an uproar.
Cao Shuxu and Xu Daihua were even more confused. They fell into self-doubt and never thought it would be this relationship.
They were wondering how Cao Shujie became Xiaomi Motors' Gudong? partner?
However, the facts have been confirmed. Cao Shujie on the stage did not refute, but took the wireless microphone handed to him by the staff next to him and said softly: "Don't listen to Mr. Lei's nonsense. In fact, I only invested a little money.
At that time, I saw that other new power companies were building cars. I had a good relationship with Mr. Lei. At that time, I was thinking that other new power companies could build new energy vehicles and have research on physical smart products and intelligent systems.
Why can't Xiaomi Group, which has such strong technical reserves, build new energy vehicles? So I told Mr. Lei that you can give it a try."
"I'm not lying to you." Cao Shujie declared. (End of chapter)
