But at this point, they certainly couldn't undermine him, so Lei Jun led the applause, and the people from Xiaomi Technology also joined in. Not for any other reason than to applaud Lin Chen's sharp tongue. As the saying goes, "The mouths of capitalists are deceitful."
On stage, Lin Chen continued speaking.
"Now that we've looked at the appearance, let's introduce the system. Does everyone have any objections?"
"Hahahaha..." The whole audience burst into laughter in perfect unison.
While pressing the power button on the right side of the phone, Lin Chen explained, "As you can see, the power button on our Xiaomi phone is on the right side of the device. As you know, our competitors' power buttons are on the top. However, our research found that when people put their phones in their pockets after use, the top power button is easily touched, causing the screen to light up. So we moved the power button to the right side."
After powering on, the first thing that appears is a Xiaomi logo. After about ten seconds, the system is successfully accessed. After some routine settings, the Xiaomi phone's desktop appears before everyone.
But Lin Chen pressed the power button again to turn off the screen, and then said with a smile, "Everyone, don't rush. Let's start by demonstrating how to access the phone in daily use."
After pressing the power button again, the initial screen of the Xiaomi phone appeared before everyone. Unlike its competitors, it was not divided into three sections: top, middle, and bottom. It featured a clean wallpaper, an integrated design, with the date and time displayed in the top half and the bottom half completely empty.
"You must be wondering why our phones don't have a 'swipe right to unlock' prompt, right? Hehe, what I want to say is that from now on, you only need to do one thing: forget about the competition and remember Xiaomi."
Lin Chen swiped his finger up from the bottom of the phone and finally returned to the home screen. The novel icon design attracted everyone's attention.
"We adopted a flat design concept, emphasizing minimalist aesthetics and removing redundant and complicated decorative effects, which can not only reduce the phone's power consumption, but also reduce the user's visual fatigue."
Lin Chen demonstrated the various functions of the phone one by one, such as adding contacts, taking photos, maps, and music playback. He even demonstrated the "People Nearby" function of MiXin, adding a girl's MiXin account on the spot and greeting her.
Seeing the sexy photos of the girls as profile pictures, the male friends at the scene stared wide-eyed. "Wow, Mixin has such amazing functions! Brilliant!"
Of course, this girl was actually a plant arranged by Lin Chen. [Funny][Funny]
After the system demonstration ended, Lin Chen put his phone away and continued, "Alright, I believe everyone now has a basic understanding of Xiaomi phones. After the press conference, everyone here will receive a brand new Xiaomi phone to take home and study at your leisure."
"Wow!!!"
"President Lin, I love you!!!"
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, which could be heard clearly even outside the venue.
"The friends here will be among the first batch of Xiaomi phone users online. We hope you can help promote it. Thank you."
"Alright, now we've moved on to the most exciting part: announcing the price."
Lin Chen pressed a button on the remote control in his hand, and images of several mobile phones and their corresponding prices appeared behind him.
"Look, the current price of the iPhone 3GS 8G is 3999, the lowest price of the iPhone 4 circulating online is 4999, the market price of the Samsung i9000 is 5800, the market price of the Motorola XT800 is 3980, and the market price of the HTC G3 is 3900."
"So, everyone, let's guess how much our Xiaomi phone will cost. You have three chances, and there's a prize for guessing correctly!"
"3999!"
"No, next one."
"3000!!"
"No, this is the last chance."
"2000!!!"
"Haha, still not right, but this friend's last guess was very close. The price of our Xiaomi phone is..."
Lin Chen paused for a moment, looked around at everyone present, and finally continued, "1999!"
"What? I was just making up that price of 2000."
"No way, 1999? This phone looks like it could sell for at least 3000."
"Yeah, not to mention the Android system. The system is so beautifully designed. I would buy one even if it cost 4000, but you're telling me you're only selling it for 1999?!"
"Holy crap, guys, I'm not saying anything more, I'm definitely buying one."
"I can finally afford a smartphone that can take pictures, play music, and chat on QQ. And it can even search for people nearby. Xiaomi, I'm so happy!"
In an instant, countless press releases were issued on-site, and countless Weibo posts were also published, with the number 1999 becoming the number one trending topic!
Some netizens who didn't watch the Xiaomi phone launch event live were confused. What's going on? Isn't it 2010 already? How come 1999 is trending on social media?
Out of curiosity, I clicked in and found that the Xiaomi phone was priced at 1999. Oh well, never mind. But then I looked at the photos of the Xiaomi phone taken on-site. What? This phone only costs 1999? What else is there to say but buy it!
The press conference was noisy for a good five or six minutes before it gradually quieted down.
Lin Chen smiled and continued, "Xiaomi phones will be available for purchase simultaneously on the Xiaomi official website, JD.com's Xiaomi flagship store, and Taobao's Xiaomi flagship store at 8 PM on April 15th. Please note that quantities are limited, so it's first come, first served."
"Oh, by the way, if you want to buy something on the Xiaomi official website, you can choose to use Huasuan Pay. After you bind your bank card to Huasuan Pay in advance, you can pay with one click on the Xiaomi official website without being redirected to other payment methods. It's faster!"
"Finally, I'd like to ask everyone, is the Xiaomi phone a good deal?"
"Great deal!!!"
The entire audience responded loudly to Lin Chen.
"This concludes today's press conference. Please leave in an orderly manner and check in with our staff at the entrance to receive your Xiaomi phones. Thank you again for your support."
An Rou, Shen Yue, and Su Xiaowan, each in a different spot offstage, all stared intently at the dazzling person on stage.
As the audience gradually left, Xiaomi Technology's first product launch event came to an end, but its impact continues to unfold.
At this time, the top three trending topics on Weibo were all related to this press conference.
The first is: 1999.
Second is: Xiaomi phones.
The third question is: Is it worth it?
After receiving their phones, the departing audience members couldn't wait to take a picture and post it on Weibo, which aroused the envy of countless people. The press conference actually gave away phones directly. That's too extravagant!
