Chapter 442 This guy is so shameless! 80 million registered users, the hottest Mimo!
The next morning, mist soaked the windowsill, and a ray of warm sunlight penetrated the glass and gauze, slanting onto the floor of the study on the third floor.
Chen Yansen stood up and walked out.
After the violent storm last night, a lot of camphor leaves accumulated in the pond, and several fat and big-eared koi were swimming happily among them.
July is approaching, and the weather in Xucheng is getting hotter.
Mr. Chen pulled over a rattan chair, sat down in the corridor, took out his mobile phone and started watching Mimo short videos.
Since Douyin was upgraded, Mimo has also adjusted the time limit for uploading videos to 5 minutes.
With the popularity of unlimited data packages and 4G networks, netizens in North America have also become addicted to watching videos.
On the platform, music, movies, food, beauty, fashion, and knowledge content emerges in an endless stream, special effects and editing works are becoming increasingly rich, and the content ecology and new user growth have formed a positive cycle.
The cumulative number of registrations has exceeded 80 million, and the number of daily active users has stabilized at around 30 million, with a very rapid growth rate.
Today, the platform’s monthly advertising revenue alone exceeds $40 million, and it has become the new darling of the digital, beauty and luxury industries.
Mao Chaorong is worthy of being the core operator of Xiaohongshu. As long as he is given funds and resources, it will take off immediately.
In fact, many founders of unicorn companies in the future came from BAT, or even were members of BAT’s failed projects. Are these people incompetent?
Of course not!
Creativity and execution are of primary importance to the success of a project, while the boss’s patience and commitment are second. Both are indispensable.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.
Chen Yansen asked casually: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm worried you'll be hungry in the morning." Song Yuncheng said softly.
"Now that you're awake, go wash up first. We're going to Qindao today." Chen Yansen ordered.
"What are you going to Qindao for? On a business trip?" Song Yuncheng asked curiously.
"Drink beer and eat Gala." Chen Yansen imitated Jiao Enjun's tone and said.
Song Yuncheng's eyes lit up, he nodded rapidly, responded, turned around and ran towards the bathroom.
I have bought a private jet. Whether I use it or not, the management and maintenance fees alone will be more than 9 million a year, so I certainly can't waste it.
If he had enough time, Mr. Chen wouldn't mind going to London to feed the pigeons and then going to Las Vegas for some fun in the evening.
The two had a simple breakfast, then took a car to the airport and landed in Qindao an hour later.
Then we changed to a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle and drove towards the pier.
About ten meters behind, a black MPV followed closely behind.
at the same time.
Yang Tianbao, Li Xiaolu, Huang Yi, Wu Xin and others attended the event with Meitu Kiss phones, and their actions of taking selfies in front of the camera were posted on Douyin.
What’s Worth Buying and Xiaohongshu also received a considerable amount of advertising fees, and replaced the promotional poster of Meitu mobile phone in the most conspicuous position on the first screen of the APP.
Click to enter and you will see a soft article with both pictures and text.
The article starts from a male perspective and conveys an idea to users: If you love her, buy her a Meitu phone!
With the support of celebrity effect and advertising, the sales of Meitu Kiss have climbed again.
In 2013, copycat mobile phones gradually declined under the dual pressure of operators and competitors, Internet mobile phone brands rose strongly, and traditional mobile phone manufacturers still occupied a core position in the industry.
Compared with two years ago, the price of smartphones is getting cheaper and cheaper. Now you can buy a model with good configuration for only one thousand yuan.
Users are all aware that these changes are actually driven by Orange Technology behind the scenes.
Once Qingcheng D2 and Qingcheng D2 SE were launched, they completely cut off the retreat of copycat mobile phones.
For users, Redmi 1 and 360 F1 are also good options.
Brands such as Tianyu, Coolpad, ZTE and Huawei are all secretly working hard and working overtime to produce thousand-yuan phones in the hope of getting a piece of the pie.
Liuhe District, Jinling.
The boss of the Nicai Factory Store stared at the Orange Mobile Store across the street with anger in his eyes, cursing, "Not only are they stealing my business, they're also stealing my employees."
The two best shopping guides in his store: Big Mouth and Big Head, have now jumped ship to join his competitors.
From June 1 to June 28, a total of 28 days, he only sold more than 600 mobile phones, and his sales in recent days have dropped to single digits.
This business is about to fail!
But he also went to inquire and found out that all the stores were directly operated and they didn't want franchisees.
"Oh, this is really terrible. If it doesn't work out, I'll change my career. I heard that the milk tea business is very profitable now. I'll also make fried chicken steak."
The boss thought to himself.
The big mouth and big head, who were repeatedly scolded by him as conscienceless, were now wearing a clean and tidy POLO short T-shirt and were enthusiastically introducing mobile phones to customers.
"799 yuan is too expensive? Then I recommend you buy this small Orange. Its running memory is 512MB, half of that of the large Orange, but the photo taking effect is also good, and it is smooth to use without any lag. There is a promotion in the next two days, so I will give you an 8GB expansion card, which is definitely enough."
Big Mouth said with a smile.
He had memorized this sales pitch by heart.
It was only after I joined Orange Technology that I realized that shopping guides can also enjoy five insurances and one fund, two holidays, supplementary medical insurance and quarterly bonuses. Unlike the empty promises made before, all benefits are clearly written in the labor contract.
But Dazui doesn't want to rest, because he can get double pay for overtime work on weekends, and working one day is equivalent to earning two days' salary. He wants to save money to buy a house in Jinling.
Things that I never dared to think about before are now gradually becoming possible.
"How much are the small green oranges?" The customer was a woman in her forties, with her daughter next to her. From the way she was dressed, it was easy to tell that she came from an average family.
"599 yuan, that's two hundred yuan cheaper." Big Mouth replied immediately.
"It's still a little expensive. The phone in the mobile phone store next door only costs 399 yuan. Can it be cheaper?" the customer bargained.
Big Mouth smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The company has a unified price, so it can't be cheap. As for the mobile phone store next door you mentioned, 399 yuan is indeed cheap, but the accessories they use are all low-quality products.
The running memory is only 256MB, half of that of the Xiaoqingcheng; the storage memory is 512MB, only one-eighth of that of the Xiaoqingcheng. It will definitely freeze within three months. "
"Young man, you said that other people's mobile phones are worthless just to earn commissions. According to you, all Nicai mobile phones are scams? The salesperson in the store said that if the phone doesn't work, the whole family will die. Who would joke about their own family?"
The customer frowned, obviously not believing what Big Mouth said.
When Big Mouth heard this, his expression suddenly froze.
He had sworn and sworn like this many times before.
He smiled awkwardly and explained, "I used to be a salesperson at Nicai."
“…” The customer was speechless for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Mom, I want to buy an Orange phone, not a Nicai phone. I checked online and found that the Nicai phone has a small memory, fake camera parameters, and a bad screen. It can hurt your eyes if you use it for a long time." said the customer's daughter.
"Will it hurt your eyes? That won't do! It's so ugly for girls to wear glasses. Buy it! Mom will buy it for you right away!" the customer responded quickly.
After that, she turned around and asked, "Are you sending me a memory card?"
"8GB, free!" Big Mouth said with a smile, he knew that the deal was done.
The customer no longer hesitated, paid for the phone readily, and installed the phone case and memory card in the store.
The mother and daughter walked out contentedly.
"Big Mouth, do salespeople at Nicai have to swear at customers?" The store manager Chen Xin joked with a smile.
"Brother Xin, there's no other way, I have to make a living, but I've changed my ways now." Big Mouth scratched his head and chuckled.
"The company has strict rules that prohibit deceiving customers, especially when it comes to information such as memory, camera parameters, and battery life. The consequences may be a fine at the very least, or even dismissal at the worst." Chen Xin reminded them intentionally or unintentionally.
He was afraid that Big Mouth and Big Head would be confused for a moment and make the same old mistakes again, thus bringing shame to the company.
"Brother Xin, don't worry! Orange phones are selling very well, there is no need to cheat users." Datou expressed his opinion immediately.
"That's good." Chen Xin replied.
With the arrival of summer vacation and the announcement of college entrance examination scores, many parents began to buy mobile phones, tablets and laptops for their children, and Orange Technology's sales also rose accordingly.
579 directly-operated stores and more than 1,600 Yunsu express service stations across the country have jointly built an offline sales network, selling Orange mobile phones, Orange iPad 1 and Orange MagicBook to third- and fourth-tier cities and township markets.
Like capillaries, sales outlets extend Orange Technology's products to every corner of East China, North China, Central China and South China.
On the main roads of the county town, direct-operated stores with orange signs attract students who have just finished their college entrance exams and parents who accompany them to shop.
At the Yunsu Express Service Station next to the township market, villagers gathered around the counter to watch the stationmaster demonstrate functions such as taking photos, connecting to the Internet, and shopping. Among them, the activity of giving free eggs to new Pinbei users was the most exciting.
This downward layout is quietly changing local consumption patterns and reducing the chances of users being cheated by counterfeit phones and inferior goods.
The other side.
Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng walked and stopped along the pier, passed the Catholic Church, and finally watched the sunset on Signal Hill.
I was originally planning to go to May Fourth Square to eat seafood, but the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
"Mr. Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Qindao? I'll do my best to play the role of host." Zhou Jieyun's voice came from the microphone.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. I came to Qindao for personal matters. I don't feel comfortable bothering you." Chen Yansen replied lightly.
"Private matters are better. We are friends, right? I will arrange it in the evening and send you the address later. You can't refuse." Zhou Jieyun was very enthusiastic.
Chen Yansen looked at Song Yuncheng and wanted to refuse.
Xiao Chengzi nodded slightly, indicating that he should agree. She didn't want to delay Chen Yansen's business.
"Okay, when Mr. Zhou comes to Xucheng next time, you must say hello to me." Chen Yansen said with a carefree smile.
Zhou Jieyun knew that his itinerary was not surprising, as traveling by private jet was high-profile in itself, and he also met several Orange Phone fans on the pier and took photos with them.
Maybe the photos will become a hot search on Weibo!
After all, his Weibo fans and Toutiao fans combined exceed 100 million, making him a top "Internet celebrity" among many entrepreneurs.
When Song Yuncheng saw Chen Yansen hang up the phone, he asked softly, "Is it a business partner?"
"Haier's Zhou Jieyun." Chen Yansen replied.
As Pinbei's key account investment director, Song Yuncheng is no stranger to Haier.
At the beginning of this year, she also visited Haier headquarters to discuss the e-commerce marketing plan for the first half of the year.
However, given her identity and status in the industry, she cannot come into contact with bigwigs of Zhou Jieyun's level. Most of the people she usually interacts with are the general managers of Haier Group's marketing and e-commerce departments.
"Then are we still going to May Fourth Square?" Song Yuncheng asked tentatively.
"I'm not going. Zhou Jieyun is treating us. I guess he is attracted by Orange Technology's voice recognition technology." Chen Yansen guessed.
Haier has gradually entered the field of smart home appliances since 1999; in 2006, it established the U-Home business unit and began to develop the Internet of Things smart home; three years ago, it released the world's first Internet of Things refrigerator, which can automatically identify food shelf life, nutritional ingredients and other information.
However, to achieve true intelligence, voice interaction is still missing.
Zhou Jieyun finally chose Moss between Moss and Xiao Ai.
In his opinion, no matter how good the imitation is, it can never reach the level of the original.
Immediately afterwards, the two men went down the mountain and got into a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle on the side of the road.
As soon as we sat down, Zhou Jieyun sent us the address of the restaurant and the driver slowly drove towards the destination.
When the afterglow outside the window fades away, the neon lights rise, illuminating this seaside city.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a restaurant.
Just from the exterior decoration and the luxury cars parked at the door, you can tell that the per capita consumption here is not low.
Zhou Jieyun brought his assistant and as soon as he saw Chen Yansen, he immediately put on a smile and walked quickly to greet him.
Although Chen Yansen is an Internet giant, he also plays an important role in the manufacturing industry.
The products he produces and sells include mobile phones, computers, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, speakers, electric vehicles, electric fans, etc. No matter what his status is, Zhou Jieyun dare not underestimate him.
"Mr. Chen, welcome to Qindao." Zhou Jieyun is a native of Qilu. He wears a pair of glasses and looks gentle, but he has the boldness of Qilu people in his bones.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for the hospitality." Chen Yansen said with a slight smile.
"Let's go to the private room and chat slowly. This restaurant serves authentic Shandong cuisine." Zhou Jieyun pulled Chen Yansen and walked inside.
Although some passers-by recognized them, no one came forward to join in the fun.
After all, there were five or six strong security guards standing around, giving off an aura that kept strangers away.
As soon as he entered the private room, Zhou Jieyun turned around and took out two bottles of good wine, and introduced the origin and taste of the wine with a smile.
After a while, dishes such as nine-turn large intestine, scallion-fried sea cucumber, braised shrimps, Bohai Bay knife fish, and clear soup bird's nest were served one after another.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhou Jieyun turned the topic to business.
Just as Chen Yansen expected, Zhou Jieyun was indeed very interested in speech recognition technology.
In addition, he was also testing Chen Yansen implicitly to see whether he had plans to fully enter the home appliance field.
"If, I mean if, Senlian Capital enters the home appliance field in the future, will Mr. Zhou welcome it?" Chen Yansen said with a smile.
Welcome ass!
Zhou Jieyun was unsure of what Chen Yansen meant, so he said out of the magnanimity of an industry leader: "Of course you are welcome. Only with competition can there be progress."
"I feel relieved with what Mr. Zhou said." Chen Yansen picked up the wine glass and responded with a smile.
No, what do you mean!
Zhou Jieyun's heart sank, thinking that something was wrong.
"Mr. Chen wants to make home appliances?" Zhou Jieyun couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't want to do it at first, but President Zhou said that Haier welcomes new colleagues very much." Chen Yansen spread his hands, looking helpless.
Zhou Jieyun swallowed his saliva and wanted to slap the nine-turn large intestine in front of him on Chen Yansen's face, thinking: This kid is so shameless.
