195 Xiaomi Conference 【1】

On August 8, 2011, there was a crowd of people in a large conference room at an art center in Yanjing City. Here is the upcoming press conference for Xiaomi mobile phones.

Rebs is quite famous in the Internet and software industry, but today all come here are enthusiasts of Xiaomi MIUI system.

As a brand that never advertises and relies on its own quality to create 300,000 users, the user stickiness of the MIUI system is amazing. In addition, the MIUI team has set up a forum, and countless users have already discussed technology on this forum, which has also caused countless fans to come from other places to attend the press conference of Xiaomi mobile phones.

Outside the conference room, countless people were queuing up, but they couldn't enter the venue. The popularity exceeded the expectations of Rebs and Xiaomi's team.

"Mr. Zhou, come on, you can go to the first row, you will be on stage later." Rebs took Zhou Yujie to the front row, and those sitting in this row were basically Xiaomi's current employees and the special guests invited.

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, look at your phone will definitely be popular!"

Rebs smiled happily and said, "MiUI fans are so [crazy], and I would never have thought there would be so many people."

Zhou Yujie asked: "Mr. Lei, how many new phones have been prepared for these first batch of Xiaomi phones?"

Rebs replied: "300,000 units."

"300,000 units, I guess it's not enough. There are only thousands of people here, and there are more people outside." Zhou Yujie laughed. Those who can come here are all fans, but there are actually more people who haven't come. After all, most people need to go to work normally, and they don't like Xiaomi and don't come specifically to Yanjing. In addition, the cheaper Xiaomi phones have caused the miracle of grabbing all Xiaomi phones in 3 days.

Rebs said with some regret: "I should have changed to a bigger place at the beginning. No one would have thought that so many people would come and so many people outside. I really feel a little sorry for these people."

Zhou Yujie said: "This is an unexpected thing. Who can be absolutely sure to predict everything? Just like our company, we have purchased enough servers, but it is still not enough. It is better to have more people than to have fewer people.

Mr. Lei, don’t think so much. Most people outside don’t care. Let’s do this press conference first. Xiaomi will go to Bird’s Nest to hold the next press conference.”

Rebs smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Ok." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

The security guards at the venue took more than ten minutes to maintain the venue, but the crowd was still bustling. When Rebus came to power, there was only a cheerful applause left.

The process of the press conference was very simple. Rebs first thanked everyone who could attend the press conference and apologized to the fans who could not enter outside. Then, just like Jobs criticized the feature phone in 2007, Rebs summarized the various shortcomings of smartphones and what made users very upset.

Then it was my turn to introduce optimizations in terms of [Power], [Screen], [CPU], [Signal], [Camera] and other aspects.

Zhou Yujie also listened carefully below. Although this press conference was not as shocking as Jobs took out his iPhone for the first time in 2007, Rebs' newly launched Xiaomi phone still solved many problems.

The first question is, there is no need to say much about the battery power. The current battery technology is not as good as in 10 years. Most smartphones, including iPhones, will basically be insufficient after half a day of use, and users will develop a mentality called "battery worry" and will be unable to sleep or eat.

The solution given by Xiaomi is to optimize the system, and for those APPs that consume power, they will be directly disconnected when shutting down.

Xiaomi also has a 1920 mAh battery, which is a bit thicker than other brands. Xiaomi is different from other mobile phone brands. Rebs believes that the slightly increase in thickness will not have a big impact, and the significant increase in power will lead to significant qualitative changes.

At the same time, users can also spend 199 to buy an original battery. In the early 1910s, most smartphones could be replaced, but it was difficult for other brands to buy authentic original batteries on the market, and Xiaomi directly sold them on its own.

The second problem is the screen. Xiaomi's screen quality is average. After all, the total price is there, but it solves the problem of reflection on the side of the screen. On this point, only high-end phones have solutions, and low-end ones have this problem.

[CPU], Zhou Yujie doesn't know either, he only knows that he uses a 1.5 Hz dual-core CPU.

[Signal] In terms of this, this is actually a pain point for Apple users, and other brands of Android phones rarely have such problems.

As for the last [camera], Xiaomi has 8 million pixels, which is similar to other brands, but with the addition of anti-shake function, the experience effect has undergone qualitative changes.

In fact, other hardware companies basically know these problems, but for the sake of profit, these companies only make perfect products into high-end mobile phones and make huge profits, while ordinary-grade mobile phones have various problems.

For example, the most popular HTC currently has a strength from the 10-18 series. Some headphones have strong sound quality, some have strong cameras, some have high battery power, and some have strong chips. Each one has a special one. If you want everything to be good, you must buy the most expensive high-end phone.

The emergence of Xiaomi is actually the opportunity left by mobile phone giants after they are shady about profits. Otherwise, the cost-effectiveness of major mobile phones is suitable, and there is no room for Rebs to start a business.

After 40 minutes of the press conference, a carnival came, and Xiaomi 1's pricing appeared on the screen - 1999.

This price, combined with the previous introduction to various functions, is a complete defeat for all mobile phones on the market.

The press conference continues, and the next step is to introduce the supply chain of Xiaomi mobile phones. I have to admire that there has never been a single mobile phone, and even the experience in the physical industry, the Rebs team can convince more than 30 internationally renowned brands to supply it.

You should know that 11 years have been an extremely chaotic year in the mobile phone industry, the chaos in mobile phone brands, and the explosion of the smartphone market have also given hardware manufacturers a certain voice. Rebbs chose all well-known hardware companies, and this ability is not something that anyone can copy.

After the hardware introduction, Rebs smiled and said, "Everyone, with the development of the smartphone market, all kinds of APPs appear like bamboo sheng in the rain, but how do we choose different APPs? This is a problem. Xiaomi cannot solve it at the moment, so we cooperate with the best companies in the industry.

In the future, Xiaomi phones will be equipped with App Treasures. I think everyone should be familiar with this app market.

Next, we invite Mr. Zhou Yujie, the founder of Toutiao Technology Co., Ltd. to the stage.”

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket.
