Looking at that string of numbers, Leibus was grinding his back teeth, immediately took out his Xiaomi phone, and opened the calculator:
"Four million xphone 1 units, each priced from 3299 to 4299. Calculating based on the mid-range price of 3799 for the 32G version, that's 15.196 billion in revenue!"
"As for material costs + sales costs + diluted R&D costs, the 16G version is only 1500 yuan, and the 32G version is around 1800."
"Adding 17% VAT, 3799*17% = 645.83. Plus other taxes, the total cost of a 32G xphone 1 reaches 2500."
"So, for a 32G xphone 1, the net profit is 1300. Calculating that, four million units mean 5.2 billion!"
"This is simply robbery! 5.2 billion in one month!"
"Crazy, absolutely f***ing crazy!"
"How can our Xiaomi survive?"
"Envy, jealousy!"
Equally astonished was Shopkeeper Wang of HTC:
"They sold 4 million xphone 1 units in one month. Is the domestic market so terrifying? It's truly scary!"
"Since when did the mainland's purchasing power become so strong?"
"Did I get something wrong?"
Her biggest problem was living in the last century, thinking that mainland consumption was sluggish and looking down on the domestic market.
Therefore, HTC had always focused on overseas markets.
Even when constantly sued, sanctioned, and banned from sales abroad, with HTC suffering heavy losses, she still looked down on the mainland market and didn't want to return to develop domestically.
It wasn't until the xphone 1 sold tremendously well domestically, selling 4 million units in one month, that Shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized and understood the powerful domestic market.
But unfortunately, it seemed a step too late.
With the hot sales of the xphone 1, Xingyi Mobile had already made its mark.
Putting aside the future, just the sales volume of four million in a month was astounding enough.
After all, for phones priced at three or four thousand, apart from the iPhone, few brands could achieve tens of millions in single model sales.
Even Samsung's flagship phones were useless!
The secretary across the table was good at reading expressions:
"Chairman, should we adjust our strategy and launch our next quad-core flagship simultaneously in the mainland?"
Shopkeeper Wang thought for a moment, still arrogantly saying,
"No need. As the world's first quad-core flagship phone, we won't lack sales; there's no need to pay attention to the mainland. Initial production capacity is limited, so let's prioritize overseas first!"
"Understood… Very well!"
the secretary replied.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled faintly:
"Director Wang, no matter how well the xphone 1 sells, it's still a dual-core phone. Once our HTC quad-core flagship is launched, there will be no place for your xphone 1. You don't have much time left. Hehehe."
The secretary, however, worried:
"Chairman, do you think Xingyi Technology will also quickly release a quad-core phone? I heard they also ordered Nvidia's quad-core chips."
Shopkeeper Wang waved her hand:
"No, they won't. The xphone 1 is selling so well, Wang Yi won't launch a new phone in just half a year. Moreover, the Xingyi Mobile department was just established, only made up of some former HTC employees. Their capabilities are limited, and so is their energy. It's already good that they could develop the xphone 1; they absolutely cannot make the next one in a short time!"
"That's true. I estimate Xingyi Technology's quad-core phone won't be launched until the second half of this year, or even the fourth quarter,"
the secretary breathed a sigh of relief.
Shopkeeper Wang nodded:
"That's about right. For a new company to launch one phone a year is already considered fast. But by the time Wang Yi's quad-core phone is launched, our quad-core HTC One X will have already captured the market. Then we'll take the mainland market too."
"The HTC One X will first be sold overseas, and once production capacity ramps up, it will move to the mainland, directly crushing Wang Yi's xphone 1!"
"Yes!"
the secretary replied.
The press conference continued:
"The good news is, Xingyi Mobile's factory has increased its production lines, boosting capacity by 50%. BYD has also added many production lines, and we have basically achieved full stock availability! In the future, everyone who buys an xphone 1 can get it immediately, no longer needing to wait half a month!"
"Whoosh!"
Thunderous applause erupted once more.
This rate of production capacity ramp-up was considered the best in the industry.
Currently, Xingyi Mobile's factory has increased its production lines by half, reaching a monthly capacity of 2.5 million units.
BYD's production capacity has ramped up, reaching a monthly capacity of 2.1 million units.
It can be said that in January, the xphone 1's production capacity reached 4.6 million units!
This could fully meet January's market demand, or even exceed supply.
The xphone 1 sold 4 million units in its December debut, but January's volume would inevitably drop.
Selling 3.5 million units would be good, and 2.5 million in February.
After all, the iPhone 4s was about to be launched domestically, which would definitely capture some users.
However, it's fine.
Since Wang Yi dared to let BYD continue large-scale OEM production without canceling orders, he was fully prepared!
To directly compete with the iPhone 4s and seize its market share!
Let the xphone 1's January sales continue to aim for 4 million!
Indeed, the bullet comments became lively:
"Achieved spot sales in just one month, the xphone 1's production ramp-up is truly impressive."
"As expected of Director Wang, completely avoids hunger marketing and flash sales. From now on, open for sale, open for purchase."
"What a surprise, I thought I couldn't wait and was ready to buy an iPhone 4s, but then you told me it's in stock, so I'm placing an order now!"
"Order now, SF Express free shipping, still very fast."
"I can't wait, I'm going to pick it up at a physical store now."
"Yes, our Meiyou flagship store and Zhenyou flagship store both have stock, and a Xingyi Mobile flagship store has also opened. I'm going to pick it up now."
"Don't even mention it, Director Wang was selling xphone 1 at the Meiyou specialty store. I was originally going to buy the 16G version, but a beautiful woman next to me kept looking at me, and in the end, I stupidly bought the 64G one!"
"Me too, can't lose face in front of a beauty. Even if I eat pickles, I have to go for the top configuration!"
"+1, I also bought an extra X buds. I seriously suspect Director Wang did this on purpose!"
"4 million units sold in one month, buying it is definitely the right choice!"
"The xphone 1 crushes the iPhone 4s in many aspects, it's also 2000 yuan cheaper, and it's in stock. The iPhone 4s isn't available until the 13th, so I'm definitely buying the xphone 1!"
Without any surprise, this press conference, with its 4 million sales in one month and spot availability, once again stimulated a large number of consumers.
This led to another surge in xphone 1 sales.
However, many users were conflicted:
"The xphone 1 is great, but the iPhone 4s's Siri is very attractive, a voice assistant that does whatever you ask. I want to experience it."
"Yes, I also want to experience Siri. Although the xphone 1 has unbeatable hardware, its software aspects are still inferior to the iPhone 4s, especially Siri and cloud services."
"Don't even mention cloud services, iCloud charges are too expensive, garbage! The free space is so small, what's it good for? But Siri is really awesome."
"It's precisely because of Siri that I gave up on the xphone 1 and waited for the iPhone 4s. Even if it costs two thousand more, I'm willing!"
"Me too. An AI voice assistant, just thinking about it excites me."
"Sigh, if only the xphone 1 also had an AI voice assistant."
Song Sining, backstage, saw these bullet comments and quickly relayed them to Wang Yi via her headset.
Wang Yi understood in his heart and said with a smile:
"Besides surging production capacity and achieving full stock availability, the xphone 1 also has a major upgrade in its system ecosystem."
"First, regarding the ecosystem, selling xphone 1 directly gives a two-year membership to Xingyi Music and Xingyi Video."
"Currently, the number of Xingyi Music users has exceeded 60 million!"
"We have to thank Baidu for not blocking Xingyi Music, otherwise many web version users of Xingyi Music wouldn't be able to use it."
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, but Li Yan, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, had a livid face.
"Damn it, Wang Yi is calling me out!"
This once again put Baidu in the spotlight.
If it trended on hot searches again, it would be interesting.
Aside from other things, it would definitely harm their reputation.
Wang Yi continued:
"Xingyi Video users have exceeded 40 million, also with free memberships, but we lost 20 million due to the ban!"
Li Yan: "..."
"Are you holding a press conference or a struggle session against Baidu?"
Indeed, the bullet comments changed:
"Garbage Baidu, blocking Xingyi Video made it inconvenient for me to use my membership."
"Exactly, no Android phone, and the web version is blocked by Baidu, it's really troublesome to use. Because of this, I even switched to Sogou Search."
"Me too, Sogou Search is better. It directly pins Xingyi Video to the homepage. After linking accounts, it automatically logs in, automatically signs in, and automatically gets membership day rewards."
"What? Sogou Search can also auto-login to Xingyi Video and auto-sign in?"
"Yes, not just Xingyi Video, Xingyi Music too. Just register with your phone number."
"Oh my god, isn't that much more convenient?"
"That's right, Sogou was also acquired by Director Wang. Xingyi Mobile, Sogou Search, Sogou Input Method are naturally all integrated. Even Meiyou accounts can be directly linked for one-click login, it's too convenient."
"Since that's the case, it's time to say goodbye to Baidu. I'm downloading Sogou now."
...
Looking at these bullet comments, Li Yan's face turned green:
"No wonder Baidu's active user count has dropped a lot recently. So it was because Sogou's auto-login, auto-sign-in, and free memberships snatched them away!"
The secretary nodded:
"This wave of blocking Xingyi Video was a double-edged sword. It severely impacted Xingyi Video, but also significantly impacted Baidu's search engine. On the contrary, Sogou's search engine market share has risen again."
Li Yan snorted coldly:
"It doesn't matter, Baidu can withstand it, but what about Xingyi Video? If we continue the ban, Xingyi Video will continue to be suppressed! Otherwise, Xingyi Video's user count would also be 60 million."
As soon as the words fell, at the press conference, Wang Yi waved his hand:
"But it doesn't matter. Now, Xingyi Video's iOS client and PC client are all available on Xingyi Mobile's official website, Xingyi Video's official website, and app stores like iOS. Everyone can download them at any time. With the video client, you can easily cache downloads and get a better experience!"
"From now on, we no longer have to worry about Baidu's unfair competition and suppression through its monopoly position!"
"Whoosh!"
Applause erupted once more.
Li Yan's face grew even gloomier:
"Such fast efficiency! They've launched all clients now. If everyone downloads the clients, there's really no way to sanction them anymore!"
In his anger, Li Yan slapped the table, startling the secretary, who trembled a few times.
And the bullet comments became even livelier:
"Xingyi Technology did great. As soon as the client was released, it completely broke Baidu's ban."
"Not only that, Xingyi Technology has already started to counter-block Baidu."
"Is that true? Well done, tell me about it quickly."
"Baidu Maps' underlying map data has been jointly blocked by Xingyi Technology and Tencent, it's about to be finished."
"Yes, some time ago, Baidu's VP even came to Xingyi Technology to beg for AutoNavi's underlying map authorization, but Director Wang directly told them to get lost."
"Hahaha, well done! It's so f***ing satisfying!"
"Baidu Maps is in trouble now, no underlying map data available, it's doomed."
"Inside scoop: Baidu Maps later went to Tencent again to ask for NavInfo's authorization, but Tencent also refused and even wants to acquire Baidu Maps!"
"Hahaha, dying of laughter."
"Baidu: Turns out I'm the clown!"
"They tried to ban and sanction Xingyi Technology, and in the end, they killed their own Baidu Maps!"
"He deserved it!"
...
Li Yan's mouth twitched:
"Damn it, if Wang Yi had just told Qu Xin to get lost that day, it would have been fine. We would have had time to secure NavInfo. But because Wang Yi delayed for a day, NavInfo ended up with Tencent!"
Thinking of this, Li Yan was so angry he couldn't sleep.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
Now it's done.
Xingyi Video launched PC and iOS clients, breaking Baidu's ban.
But Baidu Maps couldn't break through the joint ban by Xingyi Technology and Tencent, forced to sell itself!
What goes around truly comes around.
Wang Yi continued:
"To prevent continued blocking by Baidu, we have also developed both the iOS and PC clients for Xingyi Music. Everyone is welcome to download and experience them."
Li Yan's eyes widened in anger: "..."
Emphasizing it again and again, this was to make 1.3 billion people know about his blocking of Xingyi Video!
As expected, someone said:
"Yes, Baidu is shameless. It's better to download the client as soon as possible. If it gets blocked, it will be troublesome."
"That's right, seeing that blocking Xingyi Video website isn't working, Baidu is very likely to jump the gun and block both Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music apps. Download them as soon as possible."
"Yes, download and install quickly!"
Li Yan was utterly speechless: "..."
"Because of Baidu's ban, it actually promoted users to download the Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music clients! What does this amount to? Aiding the enemy! Using Baidu as a tool!"
Li Yan suddenly realized that Wang Yi's repeated emphasis on Baidu's ban was precisely to guide everyone to download the Xingyi Music and Xingyi Video clients as soon as possible.
He was completely using Baidu as a tool!
"You can even use suppression and banning as a tool! Excessive, truly f***ing excessive!"
Li Yan was furious, grabbed the water glass on the table, and smashed it on the floor.
The secretary was so startled her "assets" trembled violently.
Due to Baidu's ban, the downloads of Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music on Android were already terrifyingly high.
Now, the downloads for the iOS and PC clients also surged.
Many people watching the press conference clicked download and install directly.
Wang Yi continued:
"Xingyi Music paired with X buds is an even more perfect match. Throughout December, X buds sales exceeded 3 million units!"
"With Goertek's OEM manufacturing, X buds' production capacity has surged, and they are now also available in stock! Everyone no longer has to wait; you can purchase them online or offline at any time!"
Currently, Goertek's daily production capacity for X buds has exceeded 100,000 units, which is terrifying.
And orders can be increased at any time.
After all, Goertek started by making headphones, possessing technology, workers, and production lines!
Goertek could complete Wang Yi's first order of ten million units in three months!
Subsequently, based on X buds' sales performance, production capacity would be adjusted again, and there's a high probability that orders would continue to be increased.
Now, Shopkeeper Wang of HTC felt sour again:
"Another 3 billion in hand! Robbery, truly f***ing robbery!"
Then she looked at her secretary:
"Can we make a similar product and also make a fortune?"
The secretary sighed:
"Chairman, when X buds first came out, our product department considered making a knockoff X buds—no, we considered launching a similar product. But unfortunately, Xingyi Technology has patented several key technologies, establishing patent barriers."
"Patent barriers?"
Shopkeeper Wang frowned:
"Wang Yi is so young, yet his mind is delicate and mature enough to have thought of this."
"Yes, not only have X buds established patent barriers, but also inventions like Zhenyou's original zipper-style packaging box!"
"Alright, that's thorough enough!"
Shopkeeper Wang sighed:
"Can't all these patents be circumvented?"
"They can be circumvented, but it requires time to develop alternative solutions, apart from R&D funds, it would take one or two years,"
the secretary said helplessly:
"Their patent barriers... are very well established."
"Forget it, X buds will have already grown big in one or two years. If we launch then, it won't be very meaningful."
Shopkeeper Wang waved her hand, only feeling envious.
Leibus's mouth twitched even more:
"Even 999 X buds sold 3 million units, that's truly crazy, and it's not 99. You could buy half a Xiaomi phone with that!"
"X buds alone sold 3 billion, which is even higher than our Xiaomi phone's revenue, ridiculous!"
In 2011, the first generation of Xiaomi sold nearly 300,000 units in total, with 600 million in revenue, only one-fifth of X buds'!
"As for profit, a Xiaomi phone earns 500, and an X buds can probably also earn 500, or even more!"
"We're both making phones, and our Xiaomi started earlier, yet we earn less than Xingyi Mobile's accessories!"
"How ironic!"
Leibus gave a wry smile, feeling terrible, and then looked at Lao Li opposite him:
"That plan you mentioned before needs to be implemented. We can't hang ourselves on Qualcomm! Xingyi Technology's xphone 1 keeps increasing orders. That idiot Qualcomm has probably given all its chips to the xphone 1. Our Xiaomi chips have long been forgotten!"
Xiaomi Vice President Li Jiaqiang smiled knowingly:
"Okay, Chairman, I'll go to Nvidia later to discuss chip orders! Everyone is currently scrambling for Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 chips. Nvidia's dual-core Tegra 2 isn't selling well, so placing an order now is no problem at all."
"Very good. Also, chase up other components to ensure they arrive as soon as possible! Once we've made adjustments, we'll launch the Xiaomi 1S, integrating Nvidia's dual-core chip!"
"Yes."
Leibus had made up his mind.
Although changing chips would incur some costs and require some time for adjustments.
But it was better than endlessly waiting for Qualcomm chips.
Truly, they couldn't wait, simply couldn't!
No one knew that the landscape of domestic mobile phones had changed once again at this moment.
The press conference continued:
"To provide users with the best experience, Xingyi Music not only has the most comprehensive library of legitimate music but also features the latest lossless music."
"We have reached long-term strategic partnerships with Chairman Zhou, JJ, and other superstars. All their classic music is already available on Xingyi Music's library. In the future, all new music will also be released immediately."
"In addition, there are many Xingyi Music exclusive songs. For example, popular singers like Wang Long, Xu Song, Xu Liang, and Xiao Xi have all signed with Xingyi Media, becoming contracted artists of Xingyi Media. In the future, their new albums will be exclusively launched on Xingyi Music!"
Wang Yi knew that the competition between QQ Music and NetEase Cloud, apart from the music library, was also a competition for exclusive music.
Especially later, when Chairman Zhou fell out with NetEase Cloud, users who wanted to listen to Chairman Zhou's songs could only go to QQ, which directly led to a severe loss of NetEase Cloud Music users.
Ultimately, NetEase Cloud had to sell itself to Alibaba.
Even with 88 VIP members getting free NetEase Cloud Black Gold memberships, it couldn't turn the tide.
"Xingyi Video will also bring many surprises to everyone. For example, the exclusive spy drama 'The Cliff' will premiere the day after tomorrow. The exclusive youth urban drama 'Beijing Love Story' will premiere on the 13th. Everyone is welcome to watch."
"This year, in addition to over a dozen exclusive hit dramas, Xingyi Video also has many distributed popular dramas and is preparing several S-tier original productions. We guarantee that Xingyi Video users will have hit dramas to watch every month!"
"In terms of animation, in addition to introducing a large number of classic animations, we will also launch many original animations."
"Since its broadcast, 'Xia Lan' has exceeded 100 million on-demand views! Although it has only been online for a short time, it has already ranked first on the popular animation list thanks to its ceiling-level quality!"
"Furthermore, next year we will also launch a series of original animation masterpieces like 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'!"
A crowd of netizens became excited:
"It's clear that Xingyi Video is truly sparing no expense for its users!"
"Yes, it's S-tier original dramas, original animations, and over a dozen exclusive dramas! What a grand gesture!"
"Exactly, not to mention iQiyi, even the big brother Youku can't match such a scale."
"In the future, to become a member, you must subscribe to Xingyi Video. Director Wang is generous, absolutely worth it."
"Right, other platforms are stingy, unwilling to spend money on content and good dramas. Director Wang is different; he spends money like there's no tomorrow, just afraid that everyone won't be satisfied!"
"'Xia Lan' is truly good. I originally watched it with my child, but now I'm forty and I'm hooked. Every Saturday, I pull my child to watch it with me."
"Yes, me too. It's too captivating."
"'Xia Lan' is really amazing. The 3D modeling is exquisite, and the picture quality is excellent, not much worse than Japanese animation. Especially the special effects, they're stronger than Japanese animation."
"Chinese animation has truly risen. Just for 'Xia Lan,' a Xingyi membership is worth it!"
"The gifted membership has expired, I have to pay now."
"First-time annual membership came with four extra months, but I didn't get it then, and now there's no promotion. Regret!"
Besides launching new products, a press conference is also a good opportunity for promotion.
Last month, Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music memberships were given away for signing in.
This month, the gifted memberships expired, so users had to subscribe themselves.
Therefore, Wang Yi emphatically talked about these exclusive albums, exclusive TV dramas, original dramas, and original animations, all to captivate users and attract them to pay for Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music memberships.
Even limited-time offers were launched, to capture a wave of users first!
"Coinciding with New Year's Day, to thank our users for their support of Xingyi Technology, we are continuing with a limited-time major promotion."
"This month, activate an annual Xingyi Music membership and get 12% off!"
"This month, activate an annual Xingyi Video membership and also get 12% off!"
"For the new year, I wish everyone 888, prosperity and wealth!"
"Thank you, Director Wang, the promotion is back."
"12% off, that's a good deal."
"Yes, it's worth getting. Can't miss it this time."
The algorithms were all set!
Once a user's signed-in membership expired, an 88% off annual membership promotion would immediately pop up.
If the user thought the annual membership was too expensive and rejected it, no problem, a 10% off quarterly membership promotion would pop up.
If even that was rejected, it didn't matter, a 50% off first-month trial would pop up!
If all that was rejected, there was still a one-yuan, seven-day trial!
In short, every method to get users to subscribe!
As expected, with this wave of promotions, many people started topping up for the 12% off annual membership.
Back-end revenue began to surge rapidly.
The press conference continued:
"That concludes the ecosystem part. Now let's talk about the system."
"One month ago, we released the xphone 1, integrated with XUI1.0, which was widely loved by users. Now, we are launching XUI2.0 again!"
"The biggest change is the integration of an AI voice assistant, Xiao i Robot!"
Saying this, Wang Yi took out his xphone 1: "Xiao i!"
The phone screen was projected onto the large screen behind him.
The screen lit up, and a clear female voice said:
"Hello, Master, how can I help you?"
"Today is New Year's Day, send everyone a blessing!"
"As winter fades and the starlit river shines brightly, at the dawn of 2012, may everyone be blessed with a new year, full of interest and hope, free from disaster and hardship, with everything achievable, joyful and prosperous!"
"Whoosh!"
Thunderous applause reverberated throughout the venue.
Although it was just simple conversational interaction, this level of intelligence was already comparable to, or even far surpassed, the current Siri.
"Xiao i, play Wang Long's song!"
"Okay, now playing the VIP exclusive song, Wang Long's latest song 'A Little Sweet' for you!"
[Picking an apple, waiting for you to pass by my door, handing it to you to quench your thirst. Like summer's cola, like winter's cocoa, you are the right person at the right time...]
Sweet music echoed throughout the Water Cube.
This song was the lead single from the album "Universal Gravitation," considered Wang Long's second physical album.
In the previous life, Wang Long's new album was only released in the second half of 2012 after he joined Wonderful Music.
In this life, Wang Long was recruited by Xingyi Media ahead of schedule, and with Wang Yi's support, this new album was released on New Year's Day.
After all, a creative singer like Wang Long had a lot of music in his inventory.
It was just that no agency had invested in him to release albums before, so he could only release them online.
"Xiao i, I want to watch 'Xia Lan'!"
"Okay, playing 'Xia Lan' for you now."
Then, Xingyi Video automatically opened and started playing 'Xia Lan'!
"Xiao i, I want to watch episode three of 'Xia Lan'."
"Okay, playing episode three of 'Xia Lan' for you!"
Thunderous applause erupted once more.
"Oh my god, Xiao i is too smart, isn't it? It even controls videos!"
"It can even be precise to which episode, truly amazing, too amazing!"
"Damn it, compared to Xiao i, Siri is retarded!"
Wang Yi continued:
"As everyone can see, Xiao i is very powerful. So, let's test if Xiao i is smart enough!"
"Xiao i, what are three 'wood' characters called?"
"Three 'wood' characters are called 'sen' (forest)."
"Looks like that was no challenge, let's increase the difficulty!"
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Xiao i, what are three 'horse' characters called?"
"Three 'horse' characters are called 'biao'!"
"Xiao i, 457+211+985=?"
"1653!"
"Xiao i, where does 'setting sun and lonely wild duck fly together' come from?"
"'Setting sun and lonely wild duck fly together, autumn river and sky share one hue.' It comes from 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng,' by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty!"
Afterward, Wang Yi also demonstrated setting phone alarms, setting memos, and other functions through Xiao i, which Xiao i resolved completely.
Everyone present was thoroughly excited:
"This Xiao i is so smart, it feels much stronger than Siri."
"Yes, Siri is okay in English, but it's retarded in Chinese."
"Xiao i is still more powerful, what a surprise."
"I was originally going to buy an iPhone 4s for Siri, but now the xphone 1 also has Xiao i, and it's even smarter than Siri. I must buy the xphone 1!"
"Yes, for the same 64G version, the xphone 1 has higher specs, stronger performance, costs only 4299, and also comes with a two-year membership for Xingyi Music and Xingyi Video. The iPhone 4s costs 6788 and doesn't offer anything extra!"
"My original budget of just over 5000 yuan could only buy a 16G iPhone 4s. Now, I'm decisively going for the 64G xphone 1 + X buds!"
"Me too, the xphone 1 crushes the iPhone 4s in every aspect. There's really no need to wait for the iPhone 4s anymore!"
"Exactly, Xiao i is so smart. Ordered the xphone 1, 64G!"
Suddenly, those who were waiting for the iPhone 4s for Siri all rushed to buy the xphone 1.
Moreover, these people's budgets were around 5,000 yuan, so they decisively went for the top-spec version at 4299.
Some also bought an X buds, totaling only 5298.
No matter how you calculate it, it was more cost-effective than selling the basic version of the iPhone 4s.
Song Sining backstage decisively instructed the director to project these bullet comments onto the large screen.
The entire venue was a sensation, and the bullet comments became even livelier:
"Clever! For similar money, swap a basic iPhone 4s for a top-spec xphone 1 + X buds!"
"Yes, I've also given up on the iPhone 4s. I'm going for the xphone 1 + X buds now!"
"Switching from iPhone 4s to xphone 1 + X buds!"
"Everything the iPhone 4s has, the xphone 1 has. What the iPhone 4s doesn't have, the xphone 1 also has, and it's over 2000 cheaper. There's absolutely no reason to wait for the iPhone 4s."
Looking at these bullet comments, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Acquiring Xiao i Robot was the right move!
This wave, Xiao i crushed Siri, breaking the iPhone 4s's killer feature.
The xphone 1 is definitely going to sell out!
Most importantly, Siri at this time was truly idiotic.
There was no way around it; Siri was originally developed based on English, and its intelligence in English was acceptable, but it was useless in Mandarin.
But Xiao i Robot was different; it was originally based on Chinese and started several years earlier than Siri.
It had already been applied in companies like Microsoft and QQ.
In the Chinese language domain, both in terms of data and intelligence, it completely surpassed the newly launched Siri.
In its previous life, Siri, with continuous investment from Apple, rapidly iterated and upgraded later, surpassing Xiao i Robot.
But this time, the newly launched Siri didn't have that capability.
Moreover, with Wang Yi's investment, Xiao i Robot developed even faster.
It also recruited a large number of elite talents, as well as AI algorithm experts arranged by Wang Yi, essentially getting a major upgrade.
Today, Xiao i Robot not only has its original database but also has access to Sogou Search's database.
Sogou Search, Sogou Baike, and similar services are all integrated into Xiao i Robot.
Therefore, Xiao i's intelligence far exceeded Siri's, especially in the Chinese domain.
In this wave, Apple's loss was not unjust.
Looking at the screen full of "iPhone 4s swapped for xphone 1 + X buds" comments, Wang Yi completely relaxed,
Now, both the xphone 1 and X buds would sell out completely.
January's sales wouldn't disappoint; they might even exceed four million units!
After all, January's production capacity could reach 4.6 million units!
The press conference continued:
"Furthermore, in addition to integrating the AI voice assistant Xiao i into XUI2.0, we have also launched Xingyi Cloud Service, Xcloud! Xingyi Mobile officially enters the cloud service era!"
"Whoosh!"
Thunderous applause erupted once more.
The short board of cloud services has also been filled!
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Xingyi Cloud Service is a one-stop cloud service software that helps users achieve data synchronization, backup, device finding, space expansion, account management, and other services."
"In the future, photos, videos, music, and so on that cannot be stored on the phone can all be put into Xcloud. At the same time, Xingyi Cloud Service enables cross-platform operations. By opening the Xcloud website on a computer or tablet and logging into your account, you can browse and download photos and videos stored on your phone, and vice versa."
"In addition, there are features such as automatic backup, phone location, remote lock, and data erasure."
"Once your xphone 1 is lost or stolen, you can log into Xcloud to remotely locate your xphone 1 and remotely erase data to protect privacy and security. Additionally, it supports remote snapshots, sending photos to the cloud drive to help identify the other party."
"You can also communicate with the other party through Xcloud to ask them to return it."
"If the other party refuses to return it, you can lock the phone. After locking, the phone becomes a brick, and the other party cannot unlock it."
"And relying on AutoNavi Maps, precise location positioning and movement trajectories will all be synchronized back!"
"With this information, you can report to the police and recover it!"
"Whoosh!"
Applause erupted once more.
"Amazing, this anti-theft level is maxed out!"
"It can also take remote photos. Once you capture the thief's appearance, it'll be easy!"
"Yes, the xphone 1 is too powerful. The iPhone 4s can't even do this."
"Surprise! What a surprise! After the AI voice assistant surprise, cloud services are here too!"
Wang Yi continued:
"As for Xcloud's pricing, let's first look at iPhone's pricing."
[iCloud: 5G, free. 10G, 128 yuan/year; 20G, 256 yuan/year. 50GB, 640 yuan/year.]
"And our Xcloud: 5G, free. 10G, 88 yuan/year; 20G, 176 yuan/year. 50GB, 440 yuan/year. 30% cheaper than iCloud!"
There was no way around it; cloud service prices were very expensive these days.
Currently, Xingyi Technology's servers are all leased, and the cost is considerable, so Xcloud's price cannot be pushed down.
Once Xingyi Data Center is built later, prices can be brought down.
Moreover, if cloud service prices are too low, users will also choose basic version phones.
30% cheaper than iCloud is enough.
"In addition, XUI2.0 also launched the Xingyi App Store and Xingyi Game Center!"
"Applications and games downloaded from these two channels are genuine and compatible with the xphone 1, fundamentally eliminating Trojans and viruses. Furthermore, they are perfectly adapted to the xphone 1's high-resolution large screen, providing users with a better experience!"
The App Store and Game Center were developed earlier, but there wasn't enough time to adapt them to Android 4.0, so they had to be saved for this press conference and launched alongside XUI2.0.
"In addition to the AI voice assistant, cloud services, app store, and game center, XUI 2.0 also simultaneously launched a series of new features such as custom desktops, versatile themes, and custom fonts. Everyone is welcome to upgrade and experience them!"
"But the Xingyi Game Center has been released, how could we not release new games?"
Wang Yi built suspense.
Everyone became interested.
The great success of "Defend the Pomelos" made people full of expectations for Xingyi Technology's new games.
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Xingyi Games is once again launching a brand new game, 'Happy Match'!"
