If tablets are that expensive, I really wouldn't be willing to buy one.
But the Xiaomi tablet only costs 999!
You won't lose out or be cheated. For just 999, you can own a tablet computer and enjoy watching dramas in bed on weekends. It sounds so pleasant.
As the applause subsided, the press conference came to an end.
"Alright, everyone, that concludes our presentation of all the new products from the 'Shanghai Science & Technology, Foldable World & Xiaomi New Product Launch Conference.' We hope you'll all give us your support."
Tomorrow night at 8 PM, all new products will be available for purchase simultaneously on Xiaomi's official website, Xiaomi's flagship store on Pinduoduo, and Xiaomi's flagship store on JD.com.
This concludes today's press conference. We would like to once again thank the Shanghai authorities for their strong support of Xiaomi Technology. Please leave in an orderly manner. Thank you all for coming.
Although the press conference has ended, its impact has only just begun.
The Xiaomi Mi 3 has been trending on Weibo and Douyin ever since it was released.
The subsequent Weibo post by a certain media outlet further amplified the hype.
Those Android phone manufacturers must feel like the sky is falling. No, Xiaomi, can't we just focus on making money? Why are you flipping the table right off the bat?
Everyone initially agreed to copy the iPhone together, and yes, you did copy it along with them.
But you've only copied one generation!
Xiaomi Phone 2, you just made a full-screen phone.
Well, in one fell swoop, the iPhone has turned the tables on you.
We finally got the full-screen display working, and now you're trying to pull off some fancy tricks.
Curved screen? Foldable screen?
Do you know how I felt watching this live stream?
I've already called you 'brother,' isn't that enough? Give me a break!
Not only domestic mobile phone manufacturers were watching this live stream, but foreign mobile phone manufacturers were watching it too.
Samsung, the South Korean company, and its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, organized all of their top executives to watch Xiaomi's new product launch event together.
After reading it, the director of the screen R&D department shouted angrily.
"Plagiarism! This is blatant plagiarism! This foldable screen technology is clearly Samsung's technology. How did Xiaomi manage to copy it? Chairman, I suggest we thoroughly investigate the company. There must be a spy among them."
The marketing director scoffed.
"Tch, what evidence do you have to say that they plagiarized? Sharp, the company next door, is also researching foldable screens, why don't you say that Xiaozhizi plagiarized them?"
"Damn it! Chairman, I suspect this man is a spy. Arrest him immediately!"
Li Zhen flicked the ash from her cigarette and spoke impatiently.
"Alright, if you make any more noise, both of you get out."
"Yes, Chairman!"
The two of them quickly shut their mouths.
Samsung is a family business of the Lee family. When Lee Jung-seo tells them to get out, it's not just about getting out of the meeting room; it could mean getting out of the entire Samsung company.
Li Zhenxi continued.
"There's no point in discussing this now. Even if Xiaomi really did copy us, how long do you think this kind of international lawsuit would take?"
By the time the lawsuit is over, Xiao Rizi will have already taken over the entire market!
"The best we can do now is to find a way to catch up quickly. How is Samsung's foldable screen technology research going?"
"That's what the director of the screen R&D department replied."
"We already have a prototype of our foldable screen technology, but there are still some issues, so we can't mass-produce it yet."
"Damn it! Then why did you just say it was plagiarism?! They already have the complete version, why would they copy your immature technology?"
Li Zhenxi grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it over the head, hitting the director of the screen R&D department squarely on the forehead, causing him to bleed profusely.
The director of the screen R&D department didn't even dare to wipe it, and quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.
"I will go back and achieve mass production as soon as possible. I won't go home until I have completed it!"
Li Zhenxi waved her hand.
"You go and study it now. You have a week. If you can't figure it out, you can pack your things and get out of here."
"yes!"
The director of the screen R&D department quickly bowed and retreated.
"Everyone else, go back and prepare how to defend against Xiaomi phones that are about to take over our country's market."
"President, haven't Xiaomi phones always only been sold in China?"
"Are you stupid? They've already held the press conference at the National Convention Center. Can't you see what that means? They're preparing to go global!"
After the meeting, Li Zhenxi returned to her office, picked up her phone, and made a call.
A short while later, a popular Korean female star arrived at Lee Jung-seo's office.
Li Zhenxi beckoned with her finger, and the other person immediately understood what she meant.
That's just how it is in South Korea; chaebols are like emperors, especially chaebols like Samsung, which are the most powerful of all.
Becoming a star in South Korea meant I was mentally prepared for this, otherwise I wouldn't have entered this industry.
However, it's clear that this female celebrity was lucky tonight, as Lee Jung-seo finished her workout in less than three minutes.
He tossed a wad of cash to the female celebrity, waved for her to leave, then lit a cigarette and sat back down in his executive chair to continue thinking about Xiaomi's problem.
The female celebrity walked out of the office with the money, went to the underground parking garage, got into her car, took out a makeup box from her bag to touch up her makeup, and muttered to herself.
"No wonder he's called Li Zhenxi, he really is fine."
Little Life, Sharp Corporation Headquarters.
The senior executives of the mobile phone R&D department also sat together for a meeting.
"President, Xiaomi, a Chinese company, is a formidable enemy."
"Nonsense, do you even need to tell me? Have we figured out how to develop a foldable screen yet?"
"Uh, just a little bit more."
"Damn it! How can you be so slow! If you don't hurry up, even if China doesn't become number one in the world, the Koreans will!"
"Hey! I'll go back and study it right away. If I don't figure it out within a week, I'll commit seppuku!"
Steve Jobs, who was on the other side of the ocean, had just watched the press conference.
He shook his head with a wry smile, realizing he really was getting old.
He actually had a good impression of Lin Chen. When Lin Chen came to Meidi, he specifically reminded him to take care of his health.
It was precisely because of Lin Chen's words that he chose to actively seek treatment, and now his body has almost fully recovered.
People in China say that health is the foundation of everything.
After Jobs recovered, he threw himself into his work. Xiaomi's full-screen phone greatly impressed him, not because of the full-screen design, but because of the price!
Lin Chen had discussed the concept of a full-screen display with him before, but due to the high cost, Lin Chen said he was not planning to develop it for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Xiaomi quickly solved the high cost problem and released the Xiaomi Mi 2 before the iPhone could even react, which really amazed them at the time.
