When Lin Chen saw Lei Jun's flamboyant profile picture, he almost burst out laughing.
No, no, I can't enjoy this alone, so Lin Chen posted another Weibo message.
"This is Lei Jun, the head of Xiaomi and a well-known internet mogul. Everyone, please give him some face and follow him."
"Haha, this profile picture makes you look like a really interesting person."
"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Lin is such a dog, I won't say anything more."
"Okay, if you won't tell me, I won't tell you either."
"If none of you tell, I won't tell either."
Lei Jun was initially quite happy to see the number of followers growing, but when he saw the comments under Lin Chen's Weibo post, he fell into deep thought.
Doesn't something seem a little off?
Finally, it's time for Xiaomi's new product launch. This year's launch event, like last year, will be held in the conference hall of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
However, this time it was the Shanghai Jiao Tong University administration office that personally contacted Lin Chen and invited him to hold the event in the university's conference hall.
Moreover, Principal Chen and a group of school leaders also attended the meeting this year.
Lin Chen personally came to greet him.
"Oh, Principal Chen, welcome, welcome! You've taken time out of your busy schedule to come."
"Haha, alright, Lin Chen, don't be so polite with me. Go and prepare well. This is a great opportunity to promote our Jiaotong University."
Hearing this, Lin Chen understood that Principal Chen had come to assign him a task.
At 8 p.m., the Xiaomi new product launch event officially began, and this Xiaomi launch event could also be watched simultaneously on Panda TV.
At the very beginning, the number of people watching online in real time reached an astonishing 50 million!
The first person to take the stage was the host, Li Mengqi, who was wearing a deep V-neck dress.
"Hello, everyone here and those watching on Panda TV, good evening. This is the Xiaomi new product launch event. Xiaomi, enabling everyone to enjoy the fun of technology. Now, let's welcome our speaker, Lin Chen, Vice President of Xiaomi Technology, to the stage."
On Panda TV.
"Don't go! We don't want to see Lin Gou, we want to see beautiful women."
"Damn it, Lin Gou, get down here! Get down right now, or I won't buy it!"
The technician in charge of monitoring the comments almost burst out laughing; the comments were all calling for Lin Chen to step down.
Fortunately, Lin Chen couldn't see it.
Lin Chen walked onto the stage and said to the audience with a smile, "Hello everyone, many of you are familiar faces. You didn't expect it, did you? It's only been a few months, and we're meeting again."
"Hahaha……"
Lin Chen quickly drew everyone's attention back to the scene with just a few words. After all, most of the people present were media and tech bloggers, all there for Xiaomi's new product launch.
Although pretty girls are indeed very attractive, and they want to see them, making money is more important.
However, the comments on Panda TV were different.
"Who wants to meet you? Lin Gou, get down here and let the young lady come up."
"Exactly, if Lin Gou doesn't come down, I won't buy it."
"It's just reading a PowerPoint presentation, why don't you have the female host come up and read it? I'll still buy it even if she makes a mistake."
Li Mengqi saw that her colleague, who was in charge of monitoring Panda TV, was laughing so hard he was almost convulsing, so she went over to take a look.
After reading it, she couldn't help but laugh. This generation of netizens is quite adorable.
So he took out his phone, took a few pictures of the comments, and sent them to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen didn't bring his phone on stage, so there's no need to worry about it affecting him.
Lin Chen continued speaking from the stage.
"The last time we were here, we launched the Xiaomi phone. As of now, we have sold more than 5 million Xiaomi phones. On behalf of all Xiaomi employees, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone."
Lin Chen faced the audience below the stage and the viewers in the live broadcast room, and bowed to express his gratitude.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
"Thank you for your support and love. Xiaomi Technology will continue to work hard to bring you more products and let everyone enjoy the fun of technology."
Next, the first product we'll be releasing is the Redmi phone, a brand new series of phones created in accordance with Xiaomi's technological philosophy.
Lin Chen took a Redmi phone, still in its packaging, from a staff member below the stage.
"Come on, staff, please don't point the camera at my handsome face, please point it at this Redmi phone in my hand."
Look, everyone, this is the Redmi phone we just released. What do you think? Doesn't it seem unremarkable?
Moreover, its back cover is even made of plastic, and its screen doesn't have the same high resolution as Xiaomi phones.
Let's turn it on. After turning it on, we'll be in our MIUI system, but it doesn't seem as smooth as a Xiaomi phone.
Perhaps its only advantage over Xiaomi phones is its sturdiness and durability, and it's cheaper to repair.
You might be wondering, why is Xiaomi making such a series? Have they run out of ideas and can only sell low-end phones now?
Actually, I already told everyone the answer just now.
Our original aspiration at Xiaomi Technology is to enable everyone to enjoy the fun of technology.
Therefore, we've priced this Redmi phone at 699!
When the price was announced, everyone at the scene and everyone watching the live stream were completely stunned.
No, it's so cheap, you're not making a profit?
This price is even cheaper than counterfeit phones! In the future, anyone—from impoverished students and migrant workers to sanitation workers—will be able to afford a smartphone.
But no matter what, this is way too cheap. This is a smartphone! An iPhone sells for 6,000, and you sell it for 600. Xiaomi, how am I supposed to view Apple in the future?
Someone started clapping, and then the whole audience joined in, the applause thundering and lasting for a long time.
Lin Chen waved his hand and continued.
"Thank you for your applause. I promise that the Redmi series will continue. The goal of the Redmi series is to achieve 90% of the functions of Xiaomi phones at 40% of the price."
Okay, now that we've introduced the first new product, let's move on to the second one.
Those who frequently browse Weibo already know that the second new product released by Xiaomi is the Xiaomi TV.
Once, our CEO Lei came to me and said, "Lin Chen, let's make a tablet computer, just like Apple's iPad."
I asked him in return, "How much does an iPad cost?" He said, "Three or four thousand, I guess."
I said, "Our Xiaomi phone, priced at only 1999 yuan, can achieve over 99% of the iPad's functionality. Aside from its larger screen, the iPad doesn't really have much of an advantage over the Xiaomi phone."
