Seeing Meiyou's bare-leg artifact selling out, Bosideng was already incredibly envious.
Now that down jackets were also selling out, they were directly consumed by jealousy and hatred!
No other reason, the down jacket market is only so big.
If Meiyou sells an extra five billion, other brands sell five billion less.
As the leader in down jackets, Bosideng and its sub-brands sold at least 3 billion less!
After all, the price range of Meiyou and Zhenyou down jackets highly overlapped with Bosideng.
Especially mid-to-high-end down jackets, which mostly captured Bosideng's market.
It would be strange not to be angry.
The next day, Bosideng held a press conference, officially announcing a series of ambitious plans:
First, next year they would invest in building four factories, focusing on four-season apparel, men's wear, and children's wear!
Second, in the coming year, they would open 8,000 stores worldwide, bringing the total number of stores to over 22,000!
Third, they would spend 200 million yuan to film three S-class urban dramas!
Fourth, Bosideng would aggressively enter the beauty industry, opening up new business.
Soon, these news stories were reported, causing a huge uproar.
Everyone understood that these ambitious moves, one after another, were all aimed at Meiyou.
Or rather, aimed at Wang Yi.
Business competition is just that cruel.
Like in his previous life, before Lei Bus's Xiaomi car could even be launched, Geely aggressively introduced low-priced new cars, cornering him from all sides and forcing Lei Bus not to disclose the selling price even after the press conference.
BYD was even more ruthless, with the Qin dmi directly priced at 79,800 yuan, leaving old car owners speechless.
After all, they bought it for 150,000 previously, and after two years of Didi, they barely earned 70,000.
Now the car dropped to 79,800, so two years of work were for nothing!
Similarly, with Wang Yi aggressively entering the down jacket market and achieving booming sales, Bosideng naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Wang Yi was unaware of this and didn't bother to pay attention.
The diversification strategy was the biggest pitfall he dug for Bosideng.
It was also the beginning of Bosideng's decline from prosperity in his previous life!
At this moment, Wang Yi had arrived at the High-tech Zone Management Committee to discuss the super phone factory project with its top officials.
A super factory with an annual production capacity of 40 million units!
Director Hong saw Wang Yi arrive and said with a smile:
"Chairman Wang, let me introduce you. These three are also directors of the management committee: Director Zhou, Director Liang, and Director Xu."
"Hello, Directors,"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
The phone project was of great importance and involved a significant investment, so it was natural to have several directors presiding over it.
"Chairman Wang is truly young and accomplished. His skirt business is doing well, his beauty business is also good, and even his down jackets are direct bestsellers. Truly impressive."
Director Zhou praised him endlessly:
"Next year's Top Ten Outstanding Young People of Jizhou City, you must be one of them!"
"Haha, let's forget about those honors and give them to others,"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"I'd rather focus on steadily developing my career."
"Hehe, there are really not many people with such achievements and yet so indifferent to fame and fortune,"
Director Liang said with a chuckle.
Even Director Xu couldn't help but look at Wang Yi with higher regard.
Only Director Hong's face was a bit dark, muttering in his heart:
'How is that kid indifferent to fame and fortune? He clearly doesn't want these empty titles, only tangible benefits! You guys are too hasty!'
Director Hong sighed:
"Chairman Wang, after several rounds of deliberation by the management committee, we have approved the resolution to invest in building a mobile phone factory, but there have been some changes to the content."
"Oh? Please enlighten me, Directors."
Director Hong opened a map and circled a location:
"The factory we're building for you is right here, with convenient transportation for trucks to enter and exit."
"This place is good."
Wang Yi looked at the location.
It wasn't far from Qiuyun Garment Factory, already outside the bypass highway, and the surroundings were quite desolate.
But it was still convenient, so there was no need to worry about traffic congestion.
"As we discussed before, we are adopting the Imperial Capital model. The land and construction of the factory will be provided by the management committee. Once built, we will introduce the most advanced production lines for you. However, the annual production capacity will not be the previously mentioned 40 million, but a super factory of 50 million! With a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan!"
"Fifty million, 1.5 billion! That's even better!"
Wang Yi's face lit up with joy.
The Imperial Capital's phone factory had a capacity of 20 million units, valued at 1 billion yuan.
Jizhou's super factory had a capacity of 50 million units, which would theoretically be worth 2.5 billion yuan.
However, land in Jizhou was much cheaper than in the Imperial Capital, and labor and construction costs were also lower, so 1.5 billion yuan was enough.
"What about the conditions?"
Wang Yi asked.
It was impossible for the management committee to give away a 1.5 billion yuan factory without any conditions.
"The super factory will be delivered to Xingyi Technology before December 31, 2012, and Xingyi Technology must invest 3 billion yuan in building factories in the High-tech Zone before December 31, 2014! The requirement is for high-tech industries. If it fails to do so by the deadline, Xingyi Technology will need to purchase the phone factory for 2 billion yuan!"
Wang Yi understood Director Hong's words.
The Imperial Capital's condition was that if Xingyi Mobile's revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan in 2012, the 1 billion yuan factory would be free; otherwise, it would be purchased for 1.2 billion yuan.
Jizhou's condition was to invest 3 billion yuan in Jizhou within three years, and the 1.5 billion yuan factory would be free; otherwise, it would be purchased for 2 billion yuan!
This factory was starting construction now, and delivery would be by the end of 2012.
By then, Xingyi Mobile would likely have established itself and be profitable, so using revenue as a constraint would be less meaningful.
It would be better to directly demand investment.
This year, Jizhou invested 1.5 billion yuan in Wang Yi, and required Wang Yi to invest 3 billion yuan in Jizhou within three years.
This way, Wang Yi would need to invest in building more factories in Jizhou, thereby creating more GDP, tax revenue, and driving more employment and development for Jizhou!
Wang Yi had to admit that Jizhou's tactic was too clever and too wise.
The Imperial Capital's phone factory had an annual capacity of 30 million units, and Jizhou's phone factory had an annual capacity of 50 million units.
With a combined capacity of 80 million units, phone production capacity would be abundant in the short term, eliminating the need to continue building new phone factories.
However, the smart TV factory, tablet factory, and smart home factory had yet to be settled.
Initially, contract manufacturers could be used, but it would be more suitable to build new factories later.
Originally, Wang Yi planned to place these three major factories elsewhere, but with Jizhou's current conditions, it would be better to place them directly in Jizhou.
Then all four factories would be in one place, which would facilitate management and resource integration.
Especially for phone and tablet businesses, many components are common and can be purchased together.
This way, not only would the 3 billion yuan investment in Jizhou be completed and a 1.5 billion yuan phone factory obtained for free, but Xingyi Technology's major factories could also settle in Jizhou together, creating an industrial hub that could even radiate outwards.
Simply put, once the four major factories are completed and operational, the upstream and downstream supply chains would likely come to Jizhou, set up factories nearby, and directly supply Xingyi Technology.
These factories would be too costly in first-tier cities, making them uneconomical.
In third and fourth-tier cities, supporting facilities are limited, restricting development.
Jizhou, a second-tier provincial capital city, had much lower costs than the Imperial Capital and much better supporting facilities than smaller cities.
Coupled with provincial capital status and policy support, creating an industrial belt would be no problem.
Didn't Hefei rely on BOE to create a high-tech industrial belt?
Jizhou could certainly do the same.
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"No problem. I don't need until 2014; I can invest 3 billion yuan in Jizhou next year to build three major factories. However, for the land for these factories, I hope Jizhou can provide some support."
"Investing 3 billion yuan next year?"
Director Hong was utterly surprised.
Everyone else was also startled.
They had thought it would be good if Wang Yi invested 3 billion yuan in Jizhou within three years, but he would invest 3 billion yuan next year!
As for the land for the three factories, they were all industrial land, not valuable.
Wang Yi investing two years earlier, and the three major factories starting production two years earlier, even one year's tax revenue would be worth more than three pieces of industrial land.
For Jizhou, there was no shortage of industrial land quotas; what was lacking were companies coming to invest!
Industrial land without investment is wasteland, with little value.
Only with investment, the arrival of enterprises, and the construction of factories does industrial land become valuable and capable of creating GDP.
The directors exchanged glances and decisively agreed.
"No problem, as long as you invest 3 billion yuan in Jizhou within one year, we will provide you with as much land as you need for the three major factories, free of charge!"
Director Hong's face was full of joy; what a pleasant surprise!
He had thought it would be good to get 3 billion yuan in investment over three years, but now, it was 3 billion in one year.
Wang Yi looked at the map:
"I see that the east side of the phone factory is still open land. Let's build all three major factories there."
Wang Yi knew that these places were currently remote and far from the city center.
But in a few years, they would be designated as the High-tech East Zone, becoming a factory cluster area enjoying tax preferential policies.
Even other factories in the urban area would be moved here.
"Okay, no problem. The east side is all desolate. Wherever you like, we'll approve it for you!"
Director Hong smiled.
These places were too remote, forty to fifty kilometers from the urban area, and the city didn't know how to develop them, so they were allocated to the high-tech zone.
But even the high-tech zone had a headache over this desolate place.
Now it's good, Wang Yi has arrived.
Besides the phone factory, another 3 billion yuan will be invested in building three major factories.
Won't that bring development?
No one could refuse such a good offer.
"By the way, Chairman Wang, what will your three major factories produce? They must be high-tech industries!"
Director Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Of course, they are high-tech industries. These three factories will be a smart TV factory, a tablet factory, and a smart home factory!"
"Great, they are all high-tech industries, and they are what Jizhou needs most!"
Director Liang was extremely excited.
Director Hong was even more delighted:
"Jizhou urgently needs industrial upgrading and development in high-tech fields. Chairman Wang, your investment in these three major factories has solved great difficulties for us, it's wonderful! Thank you!"
As a reborn person, how could Wang Yi not know that Jizhou was wholeheartedly striving to develop high technology and upgrade its industries?
How could he not know that Jizhou had always worked very hard?
But it just had bad luck.
When it tried to develop cars, it was scammed by Lotus Motors.
When it tried to develop chips, it was scammed by Quanxin!
It wasn't that Jizhou wasn't progressive, but that the other parties were too devious!
The same was true for the neighboring Island City.
In reality, the two major cities in the province were quite ambitious, they just had bad luck...
This was also the reason why Wang Yi invested in Jizhou; at least Jizhou genuinely wanted to upgrade its industries.
"Director Hong, you're being too kind. This is a win-win situation for Xingyi Technology and Jizhou,"
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Also, I'll just say a couple more words. Please just listen casually and don't overthink it."
Since Jizhou supported him so much, Wang Yi naturally wanted to return the favor!
Hearing this, Director Hong and the other three exchanged glances, all becoming interested and sitting up straight:
"Chairman Wang, please speak frankly!"
"Yes, don't hesitate to speak."
"Actually, a few of us have long wanted to invite Chairman Wang to give guidance to our management committee."
"Indeed, when it comes to entrepreneurship and industrial upgrading, Chairman Wang is truly far-sighted."
The humble attitude of these few made Wang Yi a little embarrassed.
But what they said was truly from their hearts.
Don't look at Wang Yi being only nineteen and still a student; whatever he attempts, he succeeds at.
When others made clothes, they simply made clothes, lowered costs, waged price wars, and seized markets...
The result of their fierce efforts was a loss of 250 million yuan.
And Wang Yi?
First, he developed the Meiyou APP, using its period tracking and female gossip social features to attract female users, expand user scale, and build a user base.
Then he launched Meiyou Mall, introduced the "pure desire" style, and succeeded in one fell swoop!
He launched pure desire-style autumn wear, Meiyou beauty products, and released games, earning a fortune.
He also launched Meiyou Novels to increase user stickiness.
Then he focused on smartphones to achieve industrial upgrading!
Next, he planned for tablets, smart TVs, and smart homes, perfecting a comprehensive ecosystem!
It can be said, step by step!
This set of tactics, let alone the directors, even Ma Ge in 2011 wouldn't have thought of it.
"Directors, you flatter me,"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"What I want to say is that Xingyi phones, Xingyi smart TVs, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi smart homes, all these products require a large number of upstream and downstream supply chains!"
"And these four major factories are all concentrated in the far eastern suburbs, where it's so desolate and there's so much vacant industrial land. If Jizhou takes this opportunity to introduce tax incentives, provide policy support, and aggressively attract investment, bringing in the upstream and downstream supply chains for mobile phones, tablets, TVs, and smart homes, then..."
Wang Yi stopped there, saying no more.
Director Hong's eyes widened:
"By then, Jizhou will have the hope of becoming a comprehensive industrial cluster for smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, and smart homes!"
Director Zhou gasped:
"Hiss! If so, then Jizhou's future is boundless!"
Director Liang also nodded repeatedly:
"Hefei relies on BOE to create a liquid crystal display panel industrial belt. Our Jizhou can also rely on Xingyi Technology to create industrial belts for smartphones, TVs, tablets, and so on."
"The future is bright, but the scope is too large. One high-tech zone cannot handle it, and even the entire Jizhou would struggle."
Director Hong sighed:
"However, it's better to be stuffed to death than starved to death!"
"Exactly, not to mention these industries can generate revenue quickly, so it's not a big problem and can be tried."
"Yes, even if only one-third is realized, it's a huge profit!"
"Report this matter as soon as possible and study this issue."
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the few immediately reached a unanimous agreement and looked at Wang Yi:
"Chairman Wang, this is a very big matter. We need to report it for study and give you an answer as soon as possible!"
"No problem,"
Wang Yi agreed:
"Then let's sign the contract for the phone factory first."
"That's right."
Soon, both parties signed the contract for the phone factory.
Before December 31st next year, a super phone factory with an annual production capacity of 50 million units would be delivered to Wang Yi.
Afterward, Director Hong and others immediately went to report Wang Yi's proposal.
Mobile phone, TV, tablet, smart home industry cluster!
This matter was too big!
And too tempting.
Let alone fully realized, even if only a quarter succeeded, Jizhou could see tremendous development.
Wang Yi didn't pay attention to what happened next; he was only responsible for "throwing a brick to attract jade."
Wang Yi had given the opportunity; how much Jizhou could take on depended entirely on its capabilities.
Returning to Song Sining's home, Song Sining was full of curiosity:
"How did the talks go?"
Wang Yi patted the contract:
"Of course it's done. We just have to wait until next December to take over the factory. Fifty million units of capacity!"
"That high!" Song Sining was startled.
"For the sub-1000 yuan phone project the year after next, 50 million might not even be enough."
Sub-1000 yuan phones were the key to the popularization of smartphones.
"By the way, the layout of Xingyi Mobile flagship stores can be fully accelerated. A large-scale rollout nationwide would be fine."
Song Sining was a bit surprised: "No longer controlling the pace, one per district?"
"No!"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"Our Xingyi Mobile flagship stores can be rolled out as quickly as possible, the more the better. Although we only have one phone model currently, we have many accessories!"
Song Sining was silent: "..."
But she had to admit.
There was only one Xingyi phone, but there were accessories: wired earphones, Bluetooth earphones, various protective cases, tempered films, pendants, several models of power banks, selfie sticks, selfie lights...
Opening a flagship store was not a problem at all.
And this was just the beginning.
In a few months, there would be the Xingyi Phone 1 Pro, Xingyi Tablet, and half a year later, the Xingyi 2nd generation, Xingyi TV...
As well as numerous Xingyi smart home products!
With so many products, opening flagship stores was not an issue.
"Moreover, these flagship stores will all be equipped with after-sales repair centers. Once users have needs, they can come to our after-sales service,"
Wang Yi instructed:
"After-sales service is a brand's guarantee and also highly profitable."
Well, something costing a few tens of yuan, replaced casually for two hundred yuan...
All highly profitable!
"Okay."
After dinner, Wang Yi and Song Sining engaged in some "touch-and-feel" interaction, then contentedly drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, he returned to the Imperial Capital.
Seeing Wang Yi return, Jian Ziyan immediately came forward to greet him:
"Chairman, the negotiations with Ruosen are almost complete, but the acquisition price couldn't be brought down; it's still 15 million yuan! This includes Ruosen and the partial IP of 'Xia Lan' they developed."
"15 million it is!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Acquiring Ruosen + 'Xia Lan' IP for 15 million is a good deal."
Acquiring Ruosen, which would be as famous as Xuanji Technology a few years later, for 15 million yuan, how could it not be a good deal?
It was incredibly cost-effective.
'Xia Lan' hadn't been released yet.
Once 'Xia Lan' premiered next year and became a huge success, it wouldn't be possible to acquire it for 30 or 50 million yuan!
One could only say Wang Yi came at the right time.
"Let's go, take me there!"
Wang Yi didn't bother to rest, immediately called Wu Shuang, and headed straight to Ruosen headquarters.
Half an hour later, Wang Yi met Ruosen's founder, Boss Zhang, and chief director, Director Liu.
These two were the core of Ruosen.
"Chairman Wang, do you really want to acquire us?"
Boss Zhang was full of curiosity.
The first two seasons of "Xia Lan," totaling 52 episodes, were already complete, and the funds had been exhausted.
There was no other way, animation was too expensive, and Ruosen had made two seasons at once!
They were currently negotiating with CCTV Children's Channel, intending to sell them exclusive broadcasting rights.
Once CCTV Children's agreed, online copyrights could also be distributed to other platforms.
If all were sold, funds could be recuperated to continue with the third and fourth seasons.
If they couldn't be sold, it would be hard to say.
However, even if sold, they wouldn't fetch a high price.
After all, as a new company, it was unrealistic to expect a high price for its first work.
"Of course, I am optimistic about Ruosen and am willing to acquire it entirely, providing subsequent financial support to help Ruosen produce the third and fourth seasons of 'Xia Lan,' as well as new works!"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Chairman Wang, you must think carefully. Animation is very expensive, and it's hard to recoup the investment!"
Boss Zhang's face was solemn.
In his previous life, "Xia Lan" was the type that was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.
The reputation was really good, but its viewership was far behind the earlier installments of "Qin's Moon."
Therefore, Ruosen didn't make money in its early years.
It wasn't until the launch of "Hua Jiang Hu" that Ruosen turned the tide, gaining the ability to compete with "Qin's Moon" and start making money.
As for the reasons, first, the picture quality of "Xia Lan" was poor, resembling works from the early 2000s.
Secondly, the promotion of "Xia Lan" was insufficient, and many people were completely unaware of this anime.
The first two seasons of "Xia Lan" had higher ratings than "Hua Jiang Hu," but their viewership was less than a fraction of "Hua Jiang Hu."
It would be strange if they became popular!
However, it was precisely because "Xia Lan" wasn't profitable that Ruosen was on the verge of bankruptcy, giving Wang Yi the opportunity to acquire it at a low price.
"I trust Boss Zhang and Director Guan, so I am willing to fully acquire Ruosen for 15 million yuan. And I will invest another 20 million yuan to reset the first two seasons!"
Wang Yi said with a faint smile.
"Reset the first two seasons?"
Boss Zhang was full of questions.
Director Guan also couldn't help but say,
"Chairman Wang, do you think we didn't do a good job?"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"It's not that it's poorly done; it's not refined enough. I've already looked into the 'Xia Lan' you produced. I can only say that the ideas and concepts are very good, but the modeling isn't exquisite enough. This directly limited the upper potential of 'Xia Lan' and hindered its development!"
"This..."
Both fell silent, unsure what to say for a moment.
Wang Yi wanted to acquire Ruosen, naturally because he valued them.
But immediately wanting to reset "Xia Lan" was a complete denial of their work!
Isn't this a contradiction?
Looking at their expressions, Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"How do you think 'Xia Lan' compares to 'Qin's Moon'?"
The two thought for a moment:
"It's far inferior."
"No comparison."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Currently, 'Xia Lan' indeed lags far behind, but it's not incomparable. There are many commendable aspects. We can certainly leverage our strengths and avoid weaknesses, surpassing 'Qin's Moon' in other areas."
"Chairman Wang, do you mean modeling and picture quality?"
Director Guan couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yi nodded:
"Exactly. If 'Qin's Moon' invests 300,000 yuan per episode, we'll invest 500,000 yuan. If their modeling is exquisite, ours will be even more so. If their special effects are powerful, ours will be even more powerful! I'll provide the money; you just make it as good as possible!"
"Especially the main characters, their designs are terrible, just ugly. Redesign all of them towards a more aesthetically pleasing direction!"
Saying this, Wang Yi took out a few pictures and placed them on the table:
"I redesigned them after looking at your materials!"
The two took a glance, and their eyes widened.
Although they were still the same characters, the modeling was much more exquisite, Zhan Chi was much more handsome, and the female lead was also much more stunning.
Well, Wang Yi directly brought out the character models from "Hua Jiang Hu Zhi Xia Lan" from 2018, based on his memory...
Compared to "Xia Lan" in 2012, it was absolutely a dimensionality reduction strike.
Over these six years, the animation industry had undergone tremendous changes; everything had changed.
"These models are too good, aren't they?"
Director Guan couldn't help but say, his whole body excited:
"If we follow this standard, we'll absolutely crush Qin's Moon in terms of modeling!"
Boss Zhang also nodded:
"Yes, but if we do everything this way, it will cost a lot of money."
Director Guan didn't care at all:
"It's fine, we have Chairman Wang!"
"Hahaha."
Boss Zhang also laughed:
"Indeed, I can't afford this level of expenditure, Chairman Wang has to do it."
"Chairman Wang, we agree to the acquisition, but as the core team, can we retain a small stake?"
Boss Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yi pondered for a moment:
"Making animation is very expensive, and subsequent investments are a bottomless pit. If you keep shares, you'll either have to invest money proportionally or be diluted by me!"
"This..."
Both fell silent.
Money was something Wang Yi could afford, but they couldn't.
But they didn't want to just work for someone else.
Seeing their dilemma, Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"How about this, I'll fully acquire Ruosen for 15 million yuan, and reserve 10% of dry shares for your main creative team. These shares cannot be sold or transferred, but you can receive annual dividends! This way, I'll bear the investment, and any losses will be mine. If we profit, you'll get the dividends!"
"Good!"
The two agreed.
This plan had no risk and offered dividends, perfect!
Soon, the contract was drafted, and both parties completed the signing.
Wang Yi fully acquired Ruosen for 15 million yuan and gave the core team 10% dry share dividends.
Subsequently, Wang Yi had the finance department transfer another 20 million yuan to reset the first and second seasons of "Xia Lan."
"Chairman, what about CCTV Children's Channel..."
Boss Zhang couldn't help but ask:
"Once we reset, it will delay the process."
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"Cancel the negotiations. Just say we are not satisfied with the current work and need a complete reset. Going forward, it will be broadcast weekly. We'll broadcast as we remake it!"
"Alright, we haven't reached an agreement yet, so canceling is fine,"
Boss Zhang agreed:
"But weekly broadcast..."
"Don't worry, weekends allow for the highest popularity, the longest impact time, and the most profit!"
Wang Yi explained in detail:
"Fifty-two episodes in two seasons, if broadcast all at once, one episode a day, it would be over in less than two months. How much influence could that have?"
"In contrast, adopting a weekly broadcast format, one episode per week, 52 episodes can be broadcast for 52 weeks, a full year. This way, the popularity of 'Xia Lan' can last for an entire year! By then, with the third and fourth seasons following, that's another year. 'Xia Lan' can become an annual anime, with enduring popularity!"
"So that's how it is. There are such tricks; I've learned a lot,"
Boss Zhang was convinced.
Director Guan benefited even more:
"Indeed, when it comes to making anime, we are experts. But for operations, we still have to look to Chairman Wang."
"Work hard, make 'Xia Lan' exceptional, and I'll handle the rest."
Wang Yi was determined to make "Xia Lan" Xingyi Video's first annual anime series.
Subsequently, Wang Yi sent someone to contact Xuanji, but unfortunately, they did not accept a full acquisition.
Wang Yi could only put it aside for now and slowly plan it out later.
No other reason, Xingyi Mobile was about to be launched!
For the next ten-plus days, all of Wang Yi's energy was focused on the phone; he couldn't spare any thought for Xuanji.
For the phone launch, the entire Xingyi Technology was caught in a frenzy of busyness.
Until December 1st, the dust settled.
Domestic media, overseas media, and even many celebrity bigwigs gathered at the Water Cube to watch the Xingyi Mobile launch event!
On the eve of this press conference, Xingyi Technology did not heavily publicize, only sending out an official Weibo post yesterday:
[Xphone, Water Cube, see you there!]
Just a simple sentence immediately shot to the top of trending searches.
One can imagine how popular Xingyi Mobile was.
As the music started, Song Sining stepped onto the stage for the press conference:
"Returning to the Water Cube again, I'm filled with emotion. The last time I was here was two months ago, for the launch of the high-end brand Zhenyou!"
"And this time, it's the launch of a major new product, the Xingyi Phone!"
"Whoosh!"
Thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue.
"Next, please welcome our Xingyi Mobile spokesperson — Chairman Wang!"
"Whoosh!"
This time, the applause became even more deafening, lasting until Wang Yi stood on the stage.
Left with no choice, Wang Yi could only wave his hand, and only then did everyone quiet down:
"Thank you all for your support of Meiyou Technology, Xingyi Technology, and myself. Thank you."
"Through the day and night efforts of all employees in the Xingyi Mobile department, and their tireless dedication to technological breakthroughs, we have finally created the first-generation Xingyi Phone — Xphone 1!"
"A phone representing the future!"
"Whoosh!"
The thunderous sound echoed once more.
On the bullet screen, however, many dissenting voices appeared:
"A phone representing the future? What a bold claim!"
"Exactly, even iPhone doesn't dare to boast like that! Even old man Jobs wouldn't dare to say that."
"Domestic phones are still far behind Apple and Samsung."
"I hope Xingyi Mobile can be down-to-earth and keep up the good work, instead of just blowing its own horn!"
"Hopefully, Xingyi Mobile's performance is better than its boasts and truly brings surprises, so my time watching the launch event won't be in vain."
...
"First, screen size!"
Wang Yi continued:
"Currently, the mainstream size is still a small 3.5-inch screen, but such a small screen is not satisfying for browsing webpages, watching dramas, or playing games!"
"The excessively small size greatly limits the smartphone experience. So much so that when we binge-watch dramas, we have to use a tablet, laptop, or MP4/MP5!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; it was indeed a problem.
"Therefore, our Xingyi Mobile breaks tradition by aggressively launching a large 4.3-inch screen! Whether for watching dramas, playing games, browsing webpages, etc., it's all more enjoyable than a 3.5-inch screen!"
"From now on, you won't need to carry both a phone and a tablet!"
"One phone is enough!"
"Whoosh!"
Applause sounded again, lasting a long time.
Wang Yi knew that the 4.3-inch large screen was a success.
"Some people might be worried that as the screen gets larger, the PPI gets smaller, making it unclear? Or even pixelated?"
Wang Yi posed a question, and everyone nodded in agreement.
This was indeed a big problem.
"Just like this, a regular 3.5-inch 480P resolution screen, when stretched to a 720P resolution, would indeed become unclear and severely pixelated."
As he spoke, Wang Yi waved his hand, and on the large screen behind him, a 3.5-inch screen transformed into a 4.3-inch large screen, instantly becoming unclear and severely pixelated.
"However, if it's upgraded to a high-resolution screen of 1280*720P, that won't happen!"
Wang Yi changed his tone, and the large screen behind him refreshed, displaying 720P resolution, which, even at 4.3 inches, remained incredibly clear.
"Could it be that Xingyi Mobile is adopting a 720P high-resolution screen?"
Such a thought emerged in everyone's minds.
