Chapter 399: Earning 10 Billion in Half an Hour, the Autumn Press Conference Ended Successfully
As Chen Xing teamed up with Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi to officially announce the three joint venture discount online shopping platforms to global users, the official accounts opened by Longxing Group on social platforms in Asia, Africa, Europe and other countries all issued announcements to users in their regions at the same time.
[Longxing Group kindly reminds that due to the needs of internal business upgrades of the group, we will plan to start pre-sale of the flagship new machine in cooperation with the discount online shopping platform at 0:00 on November 11, 2015, Longguo time.
The pre-sale models include Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1 and Brilliant X2. After successful payment, the platform will ship the products in 15 days. Please wait patiently. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. ]
As the global announcement was issued, netizens in hundreds of countries were excited.
[Daniel Johnson] (Germany): "Can I only pre-order through the discount online shopping platform? Damn you, charming and damned Brilliant X2, when I get you, I must use you hard and let you know how powerful I am!"
[Katyusha] (Bear): "Hurrah! I watched the global launch of Longxing Group. All four mobile phones are great. I will definitely support them."
[Manhadan] (Dubai): "Why is the price so cheap again, just over 2,000 US dollars? Forget it, buy 100 Brilliant X2 first, and use them as spares when they break down in the future."
[Tori Akimi] (Japan): "Far ahead, what does this mean?"
In less than five minutes after the announcement was issued, the number of global views soared to millions, and this number is still rising rapidly.
The global public who watched the launch conference are already gearing up.
Whether it is the cost-effectiveness of Longxing X3, the performance of Geek X2, or the fashionable photography of Tianyu X1, they are all points that attract them and surprise them.
As for the Brilliant X2, this "king of phones" no longer needs to be promoted after the introduction, as users have already started discussing it spontaneously.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Brilliant X2 mobile phone with a folding screen design has captured a large number of loyal fans around the world, especially in Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries with oil in the ground.
In the European and American markets, after Li Zhenzhen issued the corresponding announcement, he immediately instructed the marketing staff: "Update another tweet and send out the advertising content."
"Okay!"
"Crackle--"
As the employees quickly tapped the keyboard, the official account of Longxing Group in the European and American markets updated the tweets on social media again.
[Don't let inferior lenses ruin your beauty. ]
[Be more confident, you could have been as shining as the stars. ]
[Tianyu X1. ]
Three lines of text, accompanied by a promotional video.
Clicking on the promotional video below, what comes into view is a room of about 30 square meters, with a layout that is more for girls, and an oversized teddy bear is placed in one corner.
At this time, there were all kinds of mobile phones on the floor and bed in the room, and the camera specially gave close-ups of these scattered mobile phones.
From the design features, it can be seen that there are classic Apple 4, Korean Galaxy S3 and other popular mobile phones all over the world.
When the camera moved to the bed, a beautiful and proud white girl was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking through her mobile phone.
The camera continued to zoom in.
You can see that she is chatting with her friends.
[Friend 1]: "Buy the latest Apple phone, it can definitely record your beauty, it is equipped with Sony IMX315, which is an ace lens."
[Friend 2]: "I think Korean star phones are better than Apple phones. Strictly speaking, they are assembled machines, while Korean star phones are all self-developed!"
[Friend 1]: "Buy Apple."
[Friend 2]: "Buy Korean star."
The chat records kept popping up. After watching her friends' arguments, the white girl still couldn't make a decision and chose to watch online information.
When she was browsing online information, the video screen suddenly darkened and then switched to the school classroom, giving people a sense of the passage of one or two days.
In the classroom, the online debate spread to offline. Some people think that Apple phones are good, and some people think that Korean star phones are good.
For a while.
The classroom was divided into two camps.
The Apple camp.
The Korean star camp.
Even the teacher came out to support.
As the classroom door was pushed to the left, the girl at the beginning of the video walked in, and the students on both sides began to promote frantically.
If you study carefully, you will find that the girl in this video actually represents potential users, and the student lineup on both sides of the classroom means that she is about to fall into the arms.
The girl who entered the classroom came to the Apple camp without hesitation.
In an instant.
The students who supported Apple cheered.
However, at this moment, the girl suddenly borrowed a mobile phone from the students who led the Apple and Korean star camps, and helped them place an order for the Tianyu X1 mobile phone on the discount online shopping platform at lightning speed.
The next second.
The courier appeared at the door.
Such a rapid arrival speed not only promoted the Tianyu mobile phone, but also the discount online shopping platform.
The camera switches again, and the students in the classroom are already using Tianyu X1, and a voiceover appears in the video: "We had no choice before, but now we want the best!"
If you look closely, you will find that the trash can in the last shot is full of Apple phones and Korean star phones.
The appearance of this promotional advertisement instantly ignited the European and American markets.
[Javier Garcia]: "What does the last shot mean? Is it saying that Apple and Korean star phones are garbage?"
[Maurice Pialat]: "This ad video is too offensive. What confidence does Longxing Group have to post such a tweet?"
[Halimah Abdu]: "Okay, so you make ads like this, right? Then I'll order one to see if it's as awesome as the hype!"
Since most users in the European and American markets use Apple and Korean star phones, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction to say that they are "garbage" so bluntly.
But what does it matter?
Their comments will be hot.
Amid countless insults, doubts, and recognitions, Longxing Group's four mobile phones, including the press conference and the discount online shopping platform, were all on the hot search, truly explaining what it means to choose the "most bullet screen play".
At the same time, the departments responsible for reviewing online shopping platforms in Europe and the United States, including "pro-American countries", were sweating profusely.
These people never expected that the discount online shopping platform had infiltrated them, and they were still unaware.
But this is normal. Now the whole world is playing with the Internet economy. There are at least eight online shopping platforms registered in developed countries every day. There is no need for careful review.
Moreover, it was not until Chen Xing, Jack Ma, and Liu Dongzi publicly announced that the review departments of these countries knew that the actual controller was not the executive of the registered company. They played a trick on you.
Now you want to do it after realizing it...
What reason do you use?
Is it possible that Dragon Country businessmen are not allowed to invest?
This is impossible!
The rice has been cooked!
The officials supported by the Bailai Group and the Leading Group in European and American countries can only bear it silently, let the discount online shopping platform promote it, and choose to accept this fact.
...
On the other side.
Dragon Country Shenzhen City.
With Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi appearing as the final guests, the time is getting closer and closer to midnight, with only the last five minutes left.
Chen Xing on the podium sorted out his thoughts, looked at the two people beside him, and pressed the remote control in his hand and said: "There are only five minutes left before our Double Eleven Shopping Festival. Our large screen on site will be connected to the database provided by Alibaba and Wang Dong to witness the global sales of four mobile phones tonight in real time."
The moment the voice fell, the LED screen switched to the countdown page.
Below the countdown, there is also a total number of units sold. Now there is an Arabic numeral 0 on the horizontal line, which obviously has not started yet.
"Yes."
Jack Ma echoed and continued: "Friends who need to buy a phone can now open our Taowu.com or Wang Dong's platform to buy it."
"That's right, the quantity is limited, and it's better to act than to be moved." Liu Dongzi also echoed.
Chen Xing on the side nodded slightly to show his agreement. The reason why he was able to persuade Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi to cooperate with him was that in addition to the fact that these two people wanted to open up the international market and were struggling to find opportunities, there was also the strategic concession made by Chen Xing.
The contract signed by the three clearly states that the discount online shopping platform will not be launched in the Longguo market, in order to ensure the basic market of Taowu.com and Wangdong platform, but in the international market, Chen Xing will take 50% of the net profit.
Since no one knows whether the cross-border global shopping platform of discount can succeed, and there are only benefits and no harm, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi naturally boarded the ship.
But in the eyes of local enterprise bosses such as Lei Jun, Ren Guofei, and Xiao Ma Ge in the audience, this is an incredible thing.
Mediating the dispute between Taowu.com and Wangdong platform, and letting Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi personally go on stage to promote it, this is not right at all. They all suspect that Chen Xing has caught the handle of the two and used it as a threat.
Otherwise...
They really can't figure it out!
Local enterprise bosses can't figure it out, and others can't figure it out even more.
Ku Ke and Li Zaiyong don't know now why Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi are willing to take such a big risk to stand up for Chen Xing. Aren't they afraid of being boycotted by the West?
The business leaders in the front row were puzzled, while the users and guests in the back row were cheering and talking.
"The last four minutes!"
"I want to be the owner of the Brilliant X2. I said that even if Jesus came, it would be useless!"
"God and earth, please show your power. I don't have many wishes in this life. I just want to find a beautiful wife with a great figure, make a few hundred million, and buy the Tianyu X1. Please satisfy my small wish!"
"Support the rise of Longxing X3 and the rise of domestic products. I will buy 100 units directly. Whoever makes friends with me in the future, I will give him one."
"Brother, do you think I can do it?"
"No, I only make female friends."
"I can also be a woman!"
The press conference was noisy, as if I had entered a vegetable market.
But as time went by, the sound became smaller and smaller, and the vegetable market became a library, or a crematorium in the early morning.
The last minute.
Quiet!
Silence!
You can hear a pin drop at the press conference!
Chen Xing, who was standing on the podium, looked at the audience below who were staring at their phones and counted down to himself, "It's the last minute. It will be our midnight release date soon. There are only fifty-four seconds left."
"Those who haven't received the coupons, remember to get them. The platform discount of 50 yuan off for every 300 yuan spent will be automatically deducted." Jack Ma echoed.
"Yes." Liu Dongzi also showed his presence and continued, "Don't panic if you encounter network problems, and don't throw your phone, because it may be a platform problem."
"There are 40 seconds left."
Chen Xing continued to tell the time.
Leibs, Ren Guofei, Luo Hao and other mobile phone manufacturers in the audience also stared at their phones, wondering if they could grab a Brilliant X2 Collector's Edition to take home.
"30 seconds."
"There are 20 seconds left."
"The last 10 seconds!"
As the last 10 seconds approached, everyone's heart was in their throat.
The originally airtight and continuous live broadcast room barrage also became "thin", and most people went to buy mobile phones.
"9 seconds!"
"8 seconds!"
"7 seconds!"
During Chen Xing's countdown, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi chose to join.
Afterwards, many big men in the front row, as well as the audience in the back row, joined the countdown, but their eyes were still fixed on their phones, their thumbs clicking the screens frantically.
Ku Ke, who was sitting in the front row, had never seen such a scene before. This simply refreshed his understanding of how a press conference should be held and what procedures there could be.
"It's going to sell out."
Li Zaiyong muttered to himself.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he saw the performance of the audience, including the CEOs of Dragon Country Enterprises in the back rows, and the royal chaebols who came to watch the excitement, and inferred that these four flagships were really going to sell out!
On the other side, the princes of the Middle East had already contacted their financial stewards, asking them to make sure to get the Brilliant X2 mobile phone. They couldn't miss such a flagship that showed their status.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Dong Dong Dong——"
The retro imitation bells in the auditorium rang.
The settlement buttons of Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1, and Brilliant X2 in Taowu.com and Wang Dong's shopping carts all lit up.
At this moment.
Countless people clicked into the settlement page.
Then they continued to pay and entered the payment password. Many viewers completed the purchase of the mobile phone in one go. The hand speed developed by 30 years of being single played a key role at this time.
"Hahaha, I got it!"
"I got it, I got it!"
"I got it too!"
Audience members kept standing up, and some beat their thighs, secretly distressed, because their mobile phone pages popped up reminders that they belonged to the third phase or later.
What is the third phase?
This is equivalent to shipping in batches.
One batch is one phase, which can also be understood as seven working days or seven days. The third phase may have to wait for more than half a month.
In a middle-class family in western Guangxi, as the order of the Brilliant X2 was completed, the pop-up number scared the man.
"Damn it! No. 001!!!"
The loud shouting caused dissatisfaction among the woman in the bedroom, who shouted through the door: "Watching your dead ball again in the middle of the night, get out if you shout again, don't disturb the children's rest."
Obviously.
The woman in the bedroom misunderstood.
The man on the sofa in the living room ignored him and jumped silently in excitement. He didn't know how much the collection certificate No. 001 was worth, but he was sure that it would be worth a lot in the future!
More and more users placed orders, and the numbers on the LED screen at the press conference in Shenzhen continued to jump.
1 million units.
10 million units.
50 million units.
The numbers on the screen did not stop at all, because this was a statistics of global order users, including the sales data of the discount online shopping platform.
When it came to 99.99 million units, the word "wan" switched to "yi", and the number 9999 also became 1, and suffix numbers began to appear.
101 million units.
109 million units.
130 million units.
Such crazy numbers made everyone dumbfounded.
Ku Ke widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "In less than 10 minutes, hundreds of millions of mobile phones were sold?"
Li Jae-yong: "..."
As a friendly business colleague, Li Jae-yong had nothing to say.
In the middle of this year, Longxing mobile phones entered the Peninsula market, and he had anticipated today.
Because he knew very well that Longxing mobile phones were just pioneers, and the real killer of Longxing Group was actually other series of brands, which were the decisive blow.
It was also because of this that he tried every means to prevent Longxing Group from entering the Peninsula market.
Unfortunately, Chen Xing's little trick caused the chaebol to collapse internally.
Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, and the countdown words disappeared, replaced by a real-time statistical report, on which you can clearly see the distribution map of the proportion of mobile phone sales regions.
Asia accounts for 57%.
Africa accounts for 7%.
Europe accounts for 19%.
Oceania accounts for 10%
Americas accounts for 5%.
Other regions account for 2%.
With the appearance of the real-time statistical chart, Ku Ke and Li Jae-yong's heart skipped a beat. The European and American markets that they tried their best to defend seemed to have been broken by Chen Xing.
Although the Americas account for only 5%, they all know that the United States, as the largest consumer country in the Americas, basically does not allow Longxing Group to advertise on domestic self-media platforms.
This means that there are a large number of users in the United States who spontaneously search and go to the discount online shopping platform to place orders. This proportion may reach 1% or 2% of the total 5% in the Americas, which is very scary.
Just as Ku Ke thought, the Twitter platform has now exploded, and hundreds of thousands of American "Star fans" are discussing it.
[Edward Meyer]: "Haha, this pre-order model is great. I have already placed orders for all four models and look forward to delivery."
[Sila Fisher]: "I like the folding screen design of the Brilliant X2. I didn't expect that the companies in Longguo are so creative. It's completely different from what the media has said. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Longguo to have a look."
[James Heron]: "I have been to Longguo. Let's just say that it has not only entered a modern society, but it is also very safe at night. There is no need to worry about encountering danger."
[Victor Bo]: "I really want to meet Chen Xing. If I can shake hands with him, I will be the happiest human being."
At this time, on the Twitter platform, even if the Bailey Group and the Leading Group are controlling the hot searches and preventing the "Longxing Group Autumn Conference" entry from appearing on the hot search list, there is still a steady stream of domestic Americans seeing related information.
Paper can no longer cover fire!
...
Shencheng press conference site.
Half an hour passed.
Chen Xing looked at the sales of 270 million, and his heart was beating wildly.
In half an hour, 270 million units were sold worldwide, which shows that Longxing Mobile Phone has indeed made a good start and made the Longxing Group famous.
Now that four flagship models have been launched, the global mobile phone market has been initially reshuffled.
What does 270 million units mean?
Even if Chen Xing only made 100 yuan per unit, he still achieved a revenue of 27 billion.
Of course.
This is the assumed revenue before tax.
If you calculate carefully, the actual revenue, no, let alone the revenue, the net profit will definitely be greater than this number.
You should know that for every 12,999 yuan Brilliant X2 Collector's Edition sold, the net profit is more than 4,000 yuan, which is not comparable to the Longxing, Geek, and Tianyu series.
Yao Nana, the marketing manager, was watching the live broadcast in the background at this moment, her eyes flashing with shock and she said: "In half an hour, the conservative income is 10 billion Longguo currency, what a terrifying number!"
In the audience, Lei Jun felt suffocated and muttered to himself: "In half an hour, the conservative income is 27 billion. Longxing Group has really opened up the global market."
"Is this the transnational market?"
Ren Guofei swallowed his saliva.
He knew very well how fast transnational groups make money. Take Apple as an example. Its annual revenue from the mobile phone business is as high as 170 billion US dollars, and its net profit is as high as more than 50 billion US dollars. It is a Silicon Valley money printing machine.
Everyone wants to become a transnational group, but whether they can really take that step and get the recognition of users around the world is debatable.
"It's really changed."
Xiao Ma Ge couldn't help but sigh.
In just half an hour, it was conservatively estimated to have made 27 billion. Even if King of Glory released ten skins a day, it couldn't do it!
Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi on the podium were also stunned on the spot.
They thought that Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1, and Brilliant X2 would be sold all over the world, but they didn't expect that they would explode the market in half an hour!
The two looked at Chen Xing with admiration unconsciously. This "younger generation" was far more terrifying than they imagined, and his future achievements were unpredictable.
Although Chen Xing was calm on the surface, he was actually very excited in his heart.
270 million units were sold in half an hour. Even if the population doubles in the future, it will be difficult for a manufacturer to break this record.
In the eyes of people all over the world, tonight's autumn conference is no less than the famous scene when Bridges released the iPhone 4. This is destined to be recorded in history and remembered by the world.
"Huh——"
Chen Xing took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mentality.
He retracted his gaze from the LED screen, turned his head to look at the audience seats of the conference, and said with emotion: "In half an hour, 270 million units were sold worldwide. This proud achievement is inseparable from every user friend who supports Longxing Group. Thank you very much."
Chen Xing bowed to express his gratitude.
"Pa pa pa——"
The applause was thunderous and continuous.
"We will know whether the mobile phone is good or not after we try it. Mr. Chen is too polite!"
"That's right. We all buy it for the performance of the mobile phone. As long as Longxing Group continues to provide high-quality mobile phones, we are willing to pay for it!"
"How does that sentence go? Far ahead, Longxing Group is far ahead!"
"As long as you are far ahead, it doesn't matter if I buy two more. Mobile phones can be used as backup phones."
The discussion, cheers, shouts and applause at the scene intertwined and played a beautiful movement.
After thanking the fans and users, Chen Xing straightened his back again and thanked them again: "Thank you very much for your support tonight. Our Longxing Group's autumn press conference is also coming to an end."
"But!"
Suddenly, he changed the subject.
Masike in the audience suddenly felt nervous and felt that something was wrong.
Just as he thought, Chen Xing pressed the remote control and continued:
"I have one more thing to report to you. The Longxing Group's self-developed electric vehicle, the Pilot 001, has completed its overall development and will soon be tested on roads across the country. Perhaps in December of this year, it will be available to everyone. You can look forward to it."
