Da Mi launched a 100% domestic mobile phone overnight.
The next day.
This news was trending and was the subject of much discussion among netizens.
It turned out that at 12 o 'clock last night, without any warning, without any pre-publicity, and without sending out any invitations, Da Mi Technologies had released the second "100% domestic" mobile phone in the country.
Due to the hasty preparation of the launch, there were only a few PowerPoint slides for the presentation.
The hundreds of audience members were all Da Mi employees.
Due to the lack of script and speech, Lei Xiao Jun's performance on stage was messy and somewhat incoherent.
Therefore, this launch was also known as "the most hasty launch in history".
However, the 100% domestic mobile phone that was released at the launch was quite good in all aspects.
It was called "Guomi 1".
It was equipped with SX-800 CPU, LPDDR4 memory, Dajiang Storage's UFS storage, Crystal Oriental's 5.99-inch OLED screen, and other domestic core components.
The screen ratio was as high as 92%.
The battery capacity was 4200 mAh.
In addition to the 4 + 64GB low-end version, there was also a 6 + 64GB and 6 + 128GB high-end version.
The pricing was also for making friends, 1199 yuan, 1399 yuan, and 1599 yuan respectively.
There were three color schemes: National Flag Red, Dream Blue, and Lucky Yellow.
There was even an unlimited pre-sale, and people could place an order now.
However …
No one was interested.
A few hours after the product was released, the sales of "Guomi 1" were less than a thousand units.
On the contrary, the Internet was full of mockery.
"Lei Xiao Jun, don't you know the reason why Da Mi is weak? Following the trend, ever since Da Mi phones started following the trend, it was destined to decline. "
"If it was released a day earlier, tens of millions of units could have been yours."
"No, no, no. Guomi 1 is not a '100% domestic' mobile phone. It's equipped with the unsafe Android system. I won't buy it."
"The price is quite good, but the Android system … forget it. Unless it's equipped with the Star Cloud system, I won't buy it!"
"I'm sorry, I've already bought Red Pepper. I'm out of money."
"Brother Lei, don't be sad. I'll give you a song to comfort you."
The majority of netizens criticized Da Mi, but they were not too interested in the so-called "Guomi 1".
It failed.
Lei Xiao Jun's heart turned cold.
However, he did not give up. He made a phone call, hoping to save it.
"Brother Chen, do me a favor and give me a hand!"
Lei Xiao Jun wailed on the phone in despair.
"I've given you a chance, Brother Lei. How can I help you now?"
With the technical capabilities of Da Mi Technologies, they could have been a step ahead of Little Pepper and launched the first 100% domestic mobile phone. But in the end, due to various considerations, they had lost their first-mover advantage. He could only blame himself for this.
"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Brother Lei, I was blind, it's all my fault … But the mobile phone business is the core of Da Mi's ecosystem, it must not be lost! If Da Mi cell phones die, Da Mi company will die as well. Hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs … Brother Chen, please understand my difficulties. Sometimes, I really have no choice! "
Lei Xiao Jun said helplessly. People in the Jianghu had no choice, and he was the same.
Hundreds of millions of Android devices relied on tens of millions of Da Mi mobile phones as the core connection, forming the ecological chain of Da Mi products. It had also entered countless families, allowing them to embrace a beautiful intelligent life.
The entire ecosystem was based on Android. How could they get rid of it so quickly?
Although Da Mi mobile phones were not profitable, they were the core of the entire ecosystem. Once the core was lost, no matter how rich Da Mi's product matrix was, it would be in vain. He could not overturn the deep foundation that Da Mi had laid for more than a decade on a whim.
This was the so-called "turning the ship around in times of crisis."
Google dared to charge for the Android system because of this unshakable dependence.
However, just as Google's greed was exposed, the Star Cloud system proposed by Xing Hai Technologies made Lei Xiao Jun feel the threat of death.
It was too terrifying to break 10 million units in a single day. In the entire year of 20X0, the total number of smartphones shipped in the Z nation's market was only 380 million units. Da Mi mobile phones accounted for about 11%. Half of the year had passed, but the domestic sales of Da Mi mobile phones were less than 20 million units.
This showed the downturn in the smartphone market.
But the first 100% domestic mobile phone, Red Pepper Z1, created a terrifying sales volume of 10 million units in a single day. This was equivalent to 50% of Da Mi's mobile phone sales in half a year.
When he saw this number, Lei Xiao Jun's entire soul trembled. He instantly had a new understanding of the patriotism of his countrymen.
Then came regret. It was too late for regrets!
With such terrifying sales volume, why would there be a need for the Da Mi ecosystem? Why would there be so many concerns?
Sigh!
"Brother Lei, if you believe me, then do as I say immediately. If you still don't believe me, then only death awaits your Da Mi," Chen Jin said solemnly.
"Say it, say it quickly. I believe you, Brother Chen!"
"First, apologize to the masses of netizens. Remove the word 'pure' from the 100% domestic mobile phone, 'Guomi 1.' One must be more sincere. You're still using the Android system. How can it be called a '100% domestic mobile phone'? It's better to call it a '100% domestic hardware mobile phone.' We can't deceive the consumers. "
"Okay, okay, I apologize. I'll make adjustments and apologize immediately!"
"Next, announce that we've joined the Star Alliance. We'll collaborate with Xing Hai Technologies to create a 100% domestic mobile phone that is truly equipped with the Star Cloud system. Only then will the consumers buy into it. Only then can your Da Mi mobile phone be saved. Otherwise, its market share will only get smaller and smaller."
"This …"
Lei Xiao Jun hesitated. He still had some concerns.
Chen Jin said helplessly, "Brother Lei, can't you be a little more ambitious? Da Mi is considered a large company. Their global mobile phone shipments exceed 100 million units every year. They have capital, technology, and strength. What can Samsin and Google do to Da Mi if they join the Star Alliance? Moreover, they've seen the strong performance of the Star Cloud system. Would they dare to push Da Mi to Xing Hai Technologies' side? You're taking advantage of both sides now, Brother Lei. If you don't believe me, you can be more forceful and try Samsin and Google's reactions. "
"Yes, yes! You're right! "
Lei Xiao Jun was enlightened. He thought to himself, It's just joining the Star Alliance to satisfy the needs of the domestic consumers. It's not like we're not going to use Samsin's components or give up on the Android system. They don't have to be so aggressive. If we push Da Mi too far … they'll be the ones regretting it.
He immediately declared, "Brother Chen, I'll listen to you! Immediately announce that we'll join the Star Alliance and create a 100% domestic mobile phone! "
Chen Jin nodded.
…
That afternoon.
Da Mi's official Weibo and Lei Xiao Jun's personal Weibo first issued an apology statement, stating that the "Guomi 1" mobile phone was not a 100% domestic mobile phone. They sincerely apologized for misleading the masses of consumers.
Then, they announced that they would join the Star Alliance. They would not disappoint the expectations of their fans and create a 100% domestic mobile phone.
Netizens responded positively to these two statements.
"Not bad, their attitude is sincere."
"It's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost."
"Good luck, Da Mi. I'll definitely buy a real domestic mobile phone when it's released."
Chen Jin also posted a comment on Weibo. "Everyone, please give Brother Lei another chance to make a mobile phone. He definitely won't let you down."
However.
Less than two hours had passed.
Suddenly, Chen Jin received an urgent call!
Ling Jun Dong said anxiously, "President Chen, Gorea has taken action. Samsin has announced that from today onwards, Samsin's RAM, NAND storage, OLED screens, and other core components will all be reduced by more than 30%! Their RAM will be reduced by 50%. President Chen, they don't seem to be friendly! "
Oh ~
Chen Jin's eyes lit up.
