Chapter 501 Press Conference (Three, five hundred chapters already)
"2999, the price is really not over 3,000. This is the cheapest large-screen flagship on the market, right? Vicent, you guessed it right."
The little fat boy next to Song Runwen looked at the screen in amazement, turned his head and said to Song Runwen excitedly.
Song Runwen glanced at Luke opposite him and snorted complacently.
"This isn't a guess; it's an analysis and judgment based on keen insight and industry information. Huh? Tony Leung is out so early? The movie he and Wang Jiawei are filming, The Ferryman, is about to be released, right? Aaron, do you want to go see it?"
The little fat man nodded: "You must watch the movies of Wang Jiawei and Liang Chaowei. I just don't understand why he accepted the endorsement of rice. The brand tone seems a bit."
"Is it profitable? Not a problem. If you're willing to pay, why not take it?"
Song Runwen looked at Liang Chaowei, who was forcing a smile on the screen, and said, "It's obvious that Wei Zai doesn't want to endorse rice. Not only is his smile stiff, but there's no light in his eyes."
Aaron, the fat boy, agreed: "I think so too. Tony Leung's eyes used to be so affectionate."
Song Runwen clicked his tongue at the fat boy next to him: "Do you think my eyes are affectionate?"
The little fat boy smiled shyly and gave Song Runwen a look that said, "We're still in the company, be careful."
Luke, who was standing opposite them, caught the look in their eyes and couldn't help but shudder.
Both of them have short hair, round faces, black-framed glasses, and they both like Liang Chaowei...
Oh shit oh shit oh shit!
A chill ran through Luke.
No wonder I always feel out of place in this office. It turns out I’m just a third wheel!
"Standing next to Liang Chaowei, I also become more handsome."
Lei Jun on the screen told a cold joke, and Luke covered his face with his hands.
It's so embarrassing.
Even through the live broadcast, one could hear a few boos coming from the audience below.
There's no way around it. Anyone with a little experience in public speaking can understand that the place is too cold, and everything Lei Jun says sounds like forced humor.
Even though there were many Rice employees trying their best to liven up the atmosphere, the atmosphere in the venue did not improve at all.
Seeing this, even Luke, who has always been a half-Mi fan, has to admit that there is a high probability that Mi’s press conference will fail.
No wonder they cancelled the Mi 5S launch event last month.
The only strange thing was that Lei Jun didn't seem nervous? Or anxious? Instead, he seemed to be smiling with a hint of... mischievousness?
"Okay, thank you Mr. Liang Chaowei, let's give him a round of applause."
The process went very quickly. Liang Chaowei just came on stage and said a few polite words, then waved his Note2 at the audience. In less than five minutes, Lei Jun sent him off the stage with a smile on his face and sat in the first row of seats.
Song Runwen was watching the live broadcast while checking "The Story of Minglan" and Weibo.
Regarding the comments on Mi's press conference, Mi fans basically expressed disappointment, while Mi haters were sarcastic.
Of course, there are also some rice water armies who are exaggerating, but everyone can see that they are paid.
"Is this the black technology the "Da Mi" trailer posters mentioned? Besides AI photo optimization and smart image editing, what else is there? Xiao Ai Classmate Pro? Who doesn't know that thing has a large Orange model connected to it for 1.99?"
“The overall performance is even worse than the S7edge released by Samsung a year ago!”
"Without innovation, rice is about to become another hammer."
"Don't insult Hammer above, Bullet Messenger is still quite useful."
"Are you stupid? Even if Lei Jun is a jerk, he's not someone a troll like Luo Taijun can mess with!"
"To Mr. Lei - A pig on the wind can fly, but a pig without wings will fall down sooner or later."
"Written before the end of the year 3062, the sixth annual rice festival."
"Before the demise of Xiaomi, let's recall the classic Xiaomi models that brought us surprises and expectations."
Less than half an hour after the press conference started, Zhifou and Weibo were already flooded with self-media articles and videos about the rice press conference.
Song Runwen thought for a moment, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, and he took a screenshot of the video of Lei Jun saying "I have become handsome too", and posted it on Weibo and Bilibili.
The caption reads: "That's it? All talk and no action. The performance is even worse than I thought. Besides using the Snapdragon 821 and being cheap, what else does the Note2 have? Nothing new at all."
"P.S. Here's a bit of serious analysis: Judging from the current specs of the Note 2, Samsung's supply restrictions on Xiaomi remain in place. The fact that they haven't continued to use the Note 1's 3D curved screen is the best proof of this."
"Therefore, those who speculate that domestic rice suppliers have broken through the three-sang technology blockade can put to rest."
"In the foreseeable future, domestically produced OLED replacements will remain impossible. Respect!"
Song Runwen read over what he had written with satisfaction, and sent it out with a whoosh. He switched back to the live broadcast of the press conference, but saw that Lei Jun was still saying something on the stage, while the big screen behind him turned into a screen full of yellow sand.
What is this for?
Are there any more shows later?
Song Runwen frowned slightly and adjusted his sitting posture.
No one noticed that in the corner of the stage, there was a table that was one meter square and one meter and three high.
"Everyone knows that Da Mi entered this industry six years ago."
Lei Jun, wearing a FANK shirt and earphones, spoke sincerely on the stage.
"Why do we want to make mobile phones? Because we believe we can do it well and bring some changes and progress to this industry."
"I still remember the shock I felt when Steve Jobs presented me with an iPhone at the Moscone Center on June 29, nine years ago."
The audience seemed to sense some changes in the atmosphere and gradually quieted down, all looking at Lei Jun in the field.
"Therefore, before we founded Dami, I agreed with several of our partners that Dami's technical mission was to continuously explore the boundaries of technology and provide users with more 'black technologies.'"
"The Note 2 just released is the culmination of Xiaomi's technology over the past six years."
"Whether it's the newly updated MIUI 8 AI stable version, the strictest permission granting mechanism in history, one-click security, the 2.0 aperture, the 22.56 million pixel rear camera, or the industry's first Snapdragon 821 and the shatter-resistant glass back cover..."
"The Note2 is our business flagship, representing stability, reliability, peace of mind, durability, and efficiency."
Lei Jun paused and looked at the audience.
"If we stop at the Note2, our technological ideals will remain just on a PowerPoint presentation, far from becoming reality."
"But everyone knows that we are a group of technology geeks, and our passion for technology is our lifelong pursuit."
"At the beginning of the year, when all our executives were sitting together eating hot pot, Hong Feng suddenly raised the question: How far have we come in terms of technological advancement? If we weren't concerned with cost or mass production, what would be the best product we could create?"
Lei Jun's face was filled with sadness, and he looked at all the audience and cameras below the stage with sharp eyes.
"At that moment, everyone at the table fell silent... Then, we started doing something that even we ourselves could hardly believe."
???
Something that even they themselves can hardly believe?
What's up?
This is to liven things up!
Song Runwen couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Shit, I'm not going to get slapped in the face for that post I just posted, am I supposed to delete it?
Song Runwen glanced at Weibo and saw that there were already more than a dozen comments and reposts.
Let’s wait and see, maybe Da Mi is just bragging?
Whether it was the audience in the venue or the netizens watching the live broadcast of the press conference, they all involuntarily turned their attention back to Lei Jun.
Lei Jun took a step forward and came to the table on the sidelines that no one had paid attention to, and put his hand on the table.
At the same time, Lei Jun's hands also appeared on the yellow sand on the big screen.
Only then did everyone in the venue realize that the table was actually a container full of sand.
What is Lei Jun doing?
Drawing sand paintings?
Does he still have this skill?
No, even if he can draw sand paintings, what does it have to do with exploring the boundaries of technology?
“We are exploring the boundaries of technology, and in fact, the boundaries between virtuality and reality.”
"And the screen is the window between virtuality and reality."
“The bigger the windows, the more we can see.”
"Since the iPhone was launched nine years ago, screens have gotten bigger and bigger, from 3.7 ounces to 4.3, then to 4.7. Now our Note 2 is 5.7 ounces, which is hard to hold in one hand."
"The entire industry, including us, is trying to make the screen bigger and bigger, and even some products have emerged that are not sure whether they should be classified as tablets or mobile phones."
"The screen itself is large, and with virtual or physical buttons, the size becomes even larger. However, such a product has essentially lost its ease of use."
“So, our solution is…”
Lei Jun's palm drew grooves on the sand surface, and the sand grains rolled, obviously they were all real sand.
etc.
wrong!
Many audience members have already noticed the clues.
There's a cell phone in the sand!
A mobile phone with the screen lit up and Shamian displayed on it!
"Our solution is - full screen!"
Lei Jun clenched his right hand with five fingers and lifted a mobile phone with a lit screen from the surface of the sand table!
The scene was still silent, and Lei Jun couldn't help but frown.
What's going on? Isn't this shocking?
I spent a long time designing this part, and I am fully confident that it can rival the classic scene where Steve Jobs pulls out a MacBook Air from a briefcase!
Did you go too far in trying to praise someone by first criticizing them, and ended up completely ruining the situation?
Lei Jun held up the phone and shook it twice in front of the camera.
After a full second or two, the rice employees at the scene came to their senses and began to applaud. Then, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.
Thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the Sinho University gymnasium.
——
Sitting backstage, amidst the applause, cheers, and Lei Jun's constant thanks, Da Mimi squinted her eyes, stood in front of the mirror in the dressing area, and quietly felt the tingling sensation in her body as if it were an electric shock.
It seems like every cell in my body is cheering.
And the self in the mirror seems to have something more than before.
Vitality is vitality.
Da Mimi could clearly feel that she was completely different from before, and it seemed that the whole world had become more vivid and clear in her senses.
She could hear the whispers of the Three Meter Rice employees behind her and feel the air waves caused by the sound waves from the speakers brushing against her body.
Even in a dim backstage, you can clearly see very subtle details in the dark more than ten meters away.
The whole body feels extremely relaxed.
What's going on?
"You're getting started."
A familiar voice came from behind. Da Mimi turned around suddenly and saw that Fang Yu appeared behind her at some point.
He also didn't expect that among these women, Da Mimi was the first to break through to the extraordinary level.
There are many women who have refined their essence into energy, but only a few have reached the peak of the apprentice realm. Da Mimi was originally a little short of it, but unexpectedly, she was the first to officially step into the level 1 extraordinary realm.
Although she does not know arcane magic and does not know how to cast spells, the essence of her life has indeed officially entered the first level of extraordinary level.
Maybe I was a little too aggressive in refining my essence into energy yesterday?
Well, that's somewhat related, but the main reason is probably anger.
Just now, Liang Chaowei's assistant scolded Da Mimi so much that she got so angry that she actually made a breakthrough?
You broke through without Xiaolin dying? I can tell you're not the protagonist.
"My dear disciple, you have already entered the stage of 'Refining Essence into Qi'."
Fang Yu touched Da Mimi's head with a look of relief.
Da Mimi: ???
Refining "essence" into Qi? Do I have that thing?
You don’t have it, but I do. Doesn’t it count even though your teacher gave you so much?
Forget it this year, but remember to come and pay your writing fee to me on Teacher's Day next year.
"You really do have a weekend off!" Da Mimi's eyes lit up. "What's going on?"
Fang Yu shrugged: "Just take the benefits I give you. Don't ask so many questions. It's hard to explain in just a few words."
Da Mimi bit her lip and was about to act coquettishly when she heard the voice of the live director coming from the earphone.
"Teacher Yang Mi, Teacher Yang Mi, get ready for the stage, received a reply."
Da Mimi quickly adjusted her earphones: "Got it."
——
"Bang!"
Luke excitedly slammed the table, and the sound scared the fat boy Aaron and Song Runwen. Song Runwen glared at Luke in dissatisfaction, frowning.
grass! grass! grass! grass! grass!
It’s really a full screen!
No wonder no one noticed it just now. The screen almost blends in with the color of the sand, and it doesn't have the conspicuous black borders or Home button of traditional mobile phones. It doesn't look like a mobile phone at all.
This puddle of sand on the big screen has been there for at least ten minutes, but no one noticed that there was a mobile phone lying flat in it!
Fuck!
So awesome!
Almost all major manufacturers believe that a full-screen display is at least 3-5 years away. Even Apple claims that it is currently unattainable. Now, Xiaomi has made it! ?
Big news!
Anyone who is a 3C enthusiast knows that if you want to achieve a full-screen display, the prerequisite is to achieve flexible Oled. Now only Samsung can produce it in the world. Does that mean Samsung has resumed its supply to Xiaomi?
OLEDs are divided into rigid and flexible types. Currently, only three manufacturers can mass-produce flexible OLEDs.
Other manufacturers basically do not have the capacity for mass production.
Even if Sansang resumes the supply of rice, full-screen phones are almost impossible to achieve!
Otherwise, why doesn’t Sansang have a full-screen phone?
Because the current technology is not available.
The IP7, which Apple just released last month, simply replaced the physical home button with a touch sensor + micro motor, and the phone screen still has a large "chin" and "forehead".
This chin includes the fingerprint recognition module, screen packaging module, speaker and microphone...
There are even more things packaged inside the forehead, especially the front camera and various sensors, which are all packaged in the "forehead".
Oh, if you look closely, there seems to be a rounded rectangular black hole about five or six millimeters wide and three millimeters high at the top of the screen. It should be the front camera and sensor inside, so it is not a true full screen.
That's even more awesome, okay?!
Does this mean they've even figured out flexible OLED punching technology?
And since the front camera is here, it means that this is still a product solution that can be fully practical and mass-produced!
When did rice become so awesome! ?
Lei Jun slowly walked back to the center of the stage and raised the mobile phone in his hand.
“Yes, full screen.”
It’s really a full screen!
