my return 2002

Chapter 382 Video Call
At a time when major Internet companies were being overwhelmed by content review, two "Internet celebrities" appeared on the Internet one after another, quickly occupying the attention of netizens.

One of them is called "Sharp Brother" because of his handsome appearance and deep, sharp eyes compared to other homeless men, he was praised by netizens as "the best beggar". In order to witness the demeanor of "Brother Sharp".

The other is "Sister Feng", who claims to understand poetry and painting, can play the piano, and is proficient in ancient Chinese. She claims to "begin to read a lot of books at the age of 9, reach the peak at the age of 20, and have an IQ that no one can match 300 years after the first 300 years."Mainly study economics and books on humanities and social sciences such as "Friends", "Story Club", and use the psychology of the Internet public to like to watch excitement and group ridicule to hype themselves into a generation of Internet celebrities.

No matter how netizens comment on "Brother Sharp" and "Sister Feng", they all eventually became Internet memories in 2010. At the same time, many behind-the-scenes people who specialize in hyping Internet celebrities saw a traffic password. It is easy for an ordinary person, even a beggar, to become an internet celebrity.

At the same time, 2010 was also a year of vigorous development of e-commerce. Last year, Taobao launched the first Double Eleven shopping festival. The single-day sales volume reached 5000 to 27 million, and [-] brands participated. Many brands did not have sufficient supply, resulting in The goods were emptied instantly after they were put on the shelves, which also made many people in the circle see the increasing demand for online shopping from the mainland people.

Taobao is working hard, and JD.com is not idle. Although its self-built warehousing system has allowed JD.com to move forward, word of mouth is constantly fermenting, and it has won praise from many customers in the field of 3C products.

At the same time, group-buying websites are also officially ushering in a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming everywhere. For example, Lashou.com, 24wotuan.com, [-]juan.com, Gaopeng.com, and Nuomi.com have launched their efforts one after another. When they continue to obtain financing, they begin to expand on a large scale.

As another form of e-commerce, the emergence of group buying network has brought a word into the public eye: seckill.

Especially for many urban white-collar workers, when they used to fish at work, they basically followed dramas and chatted gossip.

The seckill in this period is actually very sincere. In order to attract users, many group buying websites will subsidize the selling price of merchants. The price of group buying products is even cheaper than Taobao. This kind of behavior of selling at a loss is naturally very easy. Causing looting by users.

However, most people will find out after grabbing the spike that they actually bought a bunch of things they don't need.

Naturally, Meituan will not miss this trend, and with the support of Shen Lang, Wang Xing has also established his own warehousing and distribution system, as well as agents in various places. When other group buying websites can only rely on other express delivery to deliver orders , Wang Xing has established more than 1000 agency points across the country.

These agency points are basically some offline businesses that have cooperated with Meituan. They all have their own stores and are more familiar with the local environment.

And the boss of the agency point earns a commission by delivering these online shopping products. The average unit price is two yuan, which seems to be not high. It's a good business, and there is no need to pay any franchise fees like other express delivery sites, as long as you give Meituan a deposit.

And because agents make money by delivering group buying products, these agents also spontaneously promote Meituan locally, and the effect is sometimes better than local promotion. After all, these agents are well-known in the local area and often have good eloquence. .

In addition to offline factors, the success of Meituan also depends on online. Since YY opened up the link sharing function for Meituan, many users will share their group buying products with some friends, or in YY groups, because Meituan It is a little different from other group buying websites. Once the minimum group quantity of a certain product is not reached, the group buying will fail by default, and all group buying will be refunded.

In fact, group buying websites also had this rule in the beginning, but later, in order to sell goods, many group buying websites secretly posted the order quantity at the last time, which made this rule a joke.

However, Wang Xing did the opposite. All products that did not reach the group size were removed from the shelves and refunded. This actually increased the authority of Meituan group buying. Many users would share Give it to your friends, and let your friends come together to make up the order.

With YY's huge traffic tilt, the number of users and sales of Meituan have grown wildly in a short period of time, and there was even a tendency to catch up with JD.com.

This also made Jack Ma envious. If Taobao had a drainage tool like YY, wouldn't the sales double?Unfortunately, he and Shen Lang have completely fallen out.

Of course, Jack Ma will not just watch Meituan continue to grow. Meituan has YY as its traffic portal, and Ali and Penguin are also partners now.

So Jack Ma approached Xiao Ma to discuss cooperation.

However, Brother Xiao Ma refused without even thinking about it. The reason is also very simple. Penguin also has its own e-commerce platform now, so why should the traffic be given to outsiders and not to his own son?
Jack Ma really wanted to tell him that Paipai.com would definitely not be able to beat him, and would eventually go bankrupt.

However, no matter how Jack Ma insinuated, Brother Xiao Ma never let go. He had taken a fancy to the cake of e-commerce early in the morning, how could he watch it slip away from his mouth.

Jack Ma was very angry, but he was helpless. The traffic was in the hands of others, and he couldn't grab it, so Jack Ma also started to think about instant messaging software. Ali Wangwang, who hadn't got much internal resources, became a success all at once. The darling of Jack Ma.

On March [-]st, Google's Jelson appeared proudly at the Pengcheng Convention and Exhibition Center, where the first Android-based mobile phone in the mainland will be released tonight.

For this press conference, Jelson is even more concerned than Lenovo's Yang Yuanqing, and Xiao Ma and Jack Ma were invited by him to stand for this press conference.

In fact, it is no wonder that Jelson is so concerned about this press conference. Since Shen Lang met with Sergey in the United States, the Google headquarters has given Jelson more resources, and Jelson naturally wants to make something. Show the results to the senior management and use them as promotion capital.

In contrast, Yang Yuanqing is relatively calm, because in his opinion, this time Lenovo mobile phone with Android system is unlikely to lose to "small companies" like Xiaomi and Meizu who have become monks.

However, just at four o'clock in the afternoon, Jelson and others received a message that Xiaomi Mi 2S will be released tonight, and Meizu M8S will also hold a press conference tonight.

This is obviously targeting them. Jelson hates this kind of behavior. Although he has great confidence in Lenovo's mobile phone, he really hates Shen Lang's oppressive style of play.

"Have you heard any inside information about Mi 2S and Meizu M8S?" Jelson asked through gritted teeth.

Jack Ma shook his head depressedly. Since he switched to the Android camp, the entire Star camp has pushed him out. Even some software and hardware manufacturers who had a good relationship with him before have walked around him. It is obvious that Shen Lang said hello. , This made Jack Ma very angry, but also very helpless. He seemed to be treated as an example to others. What made him angry was not that he was excluded, but that he thought that Ali was strong enough. No matter what, it should be that monkey. .

Yang Yuanqing didn't care: "Don't worry, Mr. Jelson, Lenovo has enough strength, and the products created this time are definitely epoch-making. You can tell from the names of Xiaomi 2S and Meizu M8S that they are remodels of the previous generation. It will not be Lenovo's opponent."

Jelson was a little relieved. In fact, he did not have confidence in Lenovo, but in Android. Android is a system developed by Google inviting the world's best software and hardware manufacturers. How could it lose to a mere star system? ?

On the other side, Shen Lang was drinking tea with Lei Jun and chatting about the evening press conference. After the release of Mi 1 and Mi 2, Lei Jun was completely let go, and he was no longer as nervous as before. Start enjoying this process of communicating directly with users.

"This time Xiaomi Mi 2S will definitely catch everyone's attention!" Lei Jun said confidently.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Then I'll watch your performance."

This time Lei Jun played tricks, he didn't even show Shen Lang the engineering machine, but mysteriously invited him to attend the Xiaomi 2S press conference.

It really aroused Shen Lang's curiosity.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, three conferences were held at the same time. There is no doubt that Lenovo's conference site is more eye-catching. The reason is also very simple. Xiaomi and Meizu have a conference almost every year. Android mobile phones, many people want to see whether the Android system is better or the Star system is stronger.

Yang Yuanqing appeared in the center of the stage proudly, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming, so I won't talk nonsense. Let me introduce today's protagonist, the Lenovo series-Lexiang mobile phone."

While speaking, a huge PPT appeared on the background screen. The size of the entire screen was a full size larger than the normal size. This was also Yang Yuanqing's idea, just to overwhelm Xiaomi and Meizu.

This time, Lenovo has worked hard on the appearance design of the Lexiang mobile phone. It borrowed from the rectangular appearance design of Xiaomi and Meizu, and at the same time made a brushed pattern on the frame, and the back cover is also made of aluminum. It looks more textured.

Just after the PPT rendering came out, there was a burst of applause at the scene. This appearance is indeed worth adding points. Compared with the plastic back covers used by Xiaomi and Meizu before, the aluminum back cover even has a Nokia flavor.

Yang Yuanqing was very satisfied with the performance of the audience, and started pressing the power button again to start the system.

Soon an icon of a robot appeared on the big screen behind it, which was different from the previous star system, but the audience keenly found that the boot time of the Android system seemed to be slower than that of the star system.

But no one cares too much. After all, it is not a big deal if the startup is slow for a few seconds, and the slow startup, does it mean that the running system is more powerful?
Yang Yuanqing swiped open the screen and entered the system desktop, only to be blown up on the spot.

The reason is also very simple. The software in this mobile phone is too poor, that is, several Penguin products: QQ, QQ Weibo, QQ Space, Paipai.com, QQ Game Hall, TT browser, Ali's products are There are only Taobao, Alipay and Ali Wangwang.

Then there are only some basic functions. Compared with Xiaomi and Meizu's various software, which are too many to fit in the phone's memory, the software of this phone is obviously at a disadvantage.

Facing the deserted scene, Yang Yuanqing felt a little overwhelmed, but he still calmly introduced some functions of the Android system.

However, at this time, Android is still in the exploratory stage, and its functions are not rich.

Yang Yuanqing's introduction did not revitalize the scene, and even some viewers wanted to leave early.

Jason's face was also a little ugly.

Fortunately, when the hardware configuration was introduced later, the atmosphere on the scene gradually heated up. Enjoying this mobile phone, Lenovo has indeed worked hard to achieve the ultimate in stacking.

1280x720 pixel resolution; rear 800 million pixels, front 200 million pixels, 2GB memory; 32GB flash memory, all hardware is also the product of the first-tier international hardware manufacturers, such as the screen is supplied by Samsung, memory is supplied by Toshiba.

Yang Yuanqing also made a big statement on this point. All in all, the hardware configuration of Lexiang is far from being rubbed against the ground by Xiaomi and Meizu, which use domestic hardware.

In 2010, this was indeed a selling point. At this time, domestic manufacturers were far behind international manufacturers in terms of technology, scale, and brand influence. Users naturally believed that imported hardware was better than domestic ones.

After introducing the hardware configuration, Yang Yuanqing finally announced the retail price.

However, when the price was announced, the atmosphere on the scene dropped to freezing point.

The price of 4999 can only be described as expensive, and ordinary people need three months of salary without food or drink to afford it.

Even if Xiaomi and Meizu were the main high-end brands before, the highest price did not exceed 3999, and Lexiang was even higher than them.

And the most important thing is that apart from the hardware configuration, it seems that Lexiang has no other advantages. Is the Android system easier to use than the Xingchen system?At least the effect of the press conference cannot be seen, and the software support is even worse.

When the press conference here was cold, on the other side, the press conferences of Xiaomi and Meizu were full of enthusiasm.

There were even a lot of Mi Fans and Mei Fans shouting at the scene.

"Millet Beef Pie!"

"Meizu cow batch!"

At this time, on the big screen, Lei Jun was having an air-to-air video call with Bai Yongxiang. The tool for the two people's video call is only a mobile phone!
