127: Oh my old friend (logging into Europe)

"Hi buddy, do you have ROC Phones for sale here? You know, the ROC Phone from China."

Birel Ian drove to a large mobile phone mall to inquire. As someone who traveled frequently for business, he was very interested in the fast charging and large battery of the Red Star Mobile Phone. For this reason, he was even willing to drive dozens of kilometers to the mobile phone mall to purchase this phone.

"Oh, my old friend, I have it here. Look, I'm using this phone myself." The owner of the mobile phone mall smiled at the customer and even set up a Kunpeng mobile phone poster at the entrance of the mall.

To attract more users.

"That's fantastic. You know, I've already been to several places, and I didn't want to buy it on Amazon. Our logistics are just too slow."

This time, Red Star reached a partnership with the big bosses of these mobile phone malls. The phones were placed in their stores for sale, and they would receive a commission of dozens of euros for every unit sold.

Coupled with the fact that Kunpeng mobile phone was currently very popular on the internet, these mall owners were naturally very happy to help Red Star promote this phone.

"Buddy, that'll be 600 euros in total."

After swiping his card, Birel Ian couldn't wait to open the box. Looking at the rectangular phone and the Rock Cyan color on the back, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is too exquisite."

He gently tore off the plastic wrap and held the phone in his hand, unable to help but feel how comfortable the grip was.

The phone's appearance made him feel as if he had discovered a new world. The 3D glass on the back cover looked extremely beautiful, and combined with the dual-sided curved design, Birel Ian couldn't bear to put it down.

"This phone is quite comfortable to hold. The whole phone is like a piece of art from China. I really didn't expect a phone from China to be so beautiful and powerful."

"Buddy, you're not the first person to say that today. Every customer I've served has expressed the same sentiment upon seeing this phone." Seeing Birel Ian's infatuated look, the owner couldn't help but speak up.

He had already sold 7 ROC Phones today. Every customer who touched the phone would sigh in admiration. "It looks like this month's sales will increase by a large amount," the mall owner thought to himself.

Birel Ian pressed the power button to turn on the phone. When he entered the system interface to operate it, he found that the smoothness of this phone was surprisingly high. Although it was still a bit behind the Apple phone he used before, it was already much better than Samsung and other android phones.

The system was very concise. The Starlight OS International Edition, specially adapted for foreigners, had been specifically optimized. Plus, without the drag of domestic rogue software, it was naturally incredibly smooth.

"A buddy of mine bought a Samsung Note 3, and I tried it too. I feel that except for the screen not being as vibrant as his, this phone completely surpasses his Note 3 in every other aspect. It seems I really made the right choice this time."

Birel Ian had an excited smile on his face. The S Pen of the Samsung Note 3 looked very cool, but for his work, it really wasn't very useful. Instead, ROC's ultra-large battery and super fast charging were exactly what he needed.

However, compared to the Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Note 3, the difference in this LCD screen was obvious at a glance; it wasn't as bright or as vibrant as the OLED screen.

"Goodbye, buddy. I can't wait to go home and experience the super fast charging of this phone."

After saying goodbye to the owner, Birel Ian drove away from the mobile phone mall.

The owner watched Birel Ian leave and said to himself, "This is already the 30th ROC Phone sold this week. This China brand is actually selling better than Samsung."

Obviously, setting aside the screen, the other configurations of ROC were higher than Samsung's phones. Although the processor was not as good as the Exynos or snapdragon 800 processor used in the Samsung Note 3, Red Star's soc, with the help of the cooling module, held its own against these two processors at higher frequencies.

This Berlin mobile phone mall naturally also sold Apple phones, but they were all last year's Fruit 5. Sales of this outdated model were not particularly good, and inventory wasn't high because Apple phones were mainly sold in Fruit's specialty and direct-sales stores. Consequently, many sellers currently didn't have Fruit stock and could only choose to sell models from Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.

However, this time the ROC Phone from China had indeed made him quite a lot of money. In some regions, large malls could even sell over a hundred ROC Phones in a single day.

"President Chen, good news! In the past week, more than 170,000 units of our kunpeng phone 2 have been activated! This means we've sold over 170,000 Kunpeng mobile phone units in a week. We've completely established a foothold in Europe as our first step!"

Lu Weiqi looked at the latest data and immediately sent the news back home.

Chen Chen left Germany the day after the press conference. Lu Weiqi would stay here for a while longer and would only return home after everything was fully handled.

"Old Lu, you deserve the top credit for opening the European market this time. When you return, I'll host a welcome-back dinner for you!"

It was clear that Lu Weiqi was in a very good mood. Selling over 170,000 units in a week might only be a single day's sales back home—or if it were a launch, it would only take 0.5 seconds to reach that volume—but this was the European market. Achieving such sales in the first week was a great start.

Chen Chen was already very satisfied.

After all, being able to enter the European market for sale was a difficult task in itself. Carving a path through the price ranges of Fruit, Samsung, LG, and Sony was no easy feat.

For Red Star to achieve such good results in its first week in Europe was an excellent performance for a phone manufacturer that had just entered the market, especially a China manufacturer.

"Old Lu, believe me, this is just the beginning. We must have confidence in our product's competitiveness. I firmly believe our Kunpeng mobile phone will gain the recognition of European users and eventually replace Samsung and Fruit to become a mobile phone hegemon. When our market value reaches trillions of us dollars, I'll give you a bonus! Keep it up, Old Lu!"

Listening to the pie in the sky Chen Chen was painting on the other end of the phone, Lu Weiqi curled his lip. This President Chen was good in every way, except he liked to paint these imaginary pictures for Old Lu. He had said before that he'd give a bonus when the market value reached a trillion, and now with just a flick of his lips, it became trillions of us dollars. Does he really think I, Lu Weiqi, am that easy to fool?

But why did those words sound so heartening?

Surpassing Fruit and Samsung—it sounded truly inspiring!

As for the bonus, I, Lu Weiqi, don't care. Do I look like the kind of person who cares about money?

Mainly, I love this feeling of conquering territory in foreign markets!

It's absolutely fantastic!

The entry into Europe has been a preliminary success. The next step is to conquer the Americas. I, Lu Weiqi, will spread Red Star across the globe!
