111: Chapter 111 Can you please stop making me laugh?

However, before they could clamor for long,

someone soon noticed something was off.

There was something fishy!

It turned out that although there was no fine print between the lines of this poster,

if you looked closely,

you would find two lines of small text in the bottom right corner.

"Statistics sourced from Gou Dong and Taobao."

There was nothing wrong with that sentence,

but the sentence below it had a huge problem.

"Statistical period from 0:00 to 1:00 on November 11th,

including pre-sale data."

"Are you kidding me?

Your company counts the Double Eleven battle report based on only one hour of data?

And it even includes pre-sale data.

Then what's the point of this 'number one'?

Other manufacturers release battle reports that count the entire day of November 11th.

Aren't you just being hilarious?"

"Hahahaha, I'm dying.

Just now, Ideal's loyal dogs were still defending their master,

telling the haters to speak up.

I didn't expect them to end up slapping their own faces.

What a bunch of clowns!"

"I was wondering if Ideal had actually become that fierce.

After all, even though they are a major domestic phone manufacturer,

I haven't seen many people around me using a Li Xiang Phone!

Turns out it was just a false alarm!"

"Ideal mobile officials, can you stop making me laugh?

With your pathetic state, why even bother counting battle reports?

Why don't you just award yourselves a first-place trophy directly?"

"Win! Win! Win!

Ideal has won it all!

But when you look at the final sales volume,

Huayao is the real number one.

Laughable, trashy Ideal!"

Of course, this battle report wasn't posted by Xue Haixin himself.

He wasn't that stupid.

He truly disdained playing such self-deceiving little tricks.

But he wasn't afraid of a god-like opponent;

he was afraid of pig-like teammates.

Wasn't the publicity department clearly making Ideal lose face?

By pulling such a stunt,

they had embarrassed themselves in front of the entire country this time!

When Xue Haixin first saw the trending post,

he was actually very happy.

Seeing the trending topic 'Li Xiang Phone Double Eleven Sales Report,'

he thought the company's staff had arranged to buy the trend,

and assumed the Double Eleven sales data for Li Xiang Phone was excellent.

Once he clicked in and finished reading the report,

and then read the netizen comments,

his face turned purple with rage.

"Is this something a publicity team I pay 8,000 yuan a month to can actually do?

This is so damn embarrassing!

A bunch of shameless fools!

What a bunch of laughingstocks!"

He quickly contacted the publicity team

and ordered them to delete that Weibo post.

However, the internet has a long memory.

Many netizens had already saved the image,

and some even made short videos to mock them.

The matter remained on the trending list for a long time,

sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Meanwhile, before Double Eleven began, Bai Jingqing had already told all the phone series under his company

not to engage in these battle reports and such.

It was completely meaningless.

They only needed to make good products,

and consumers would naturally pay for them.

Although Bai Jingqing didn't have the various phone brands under Huayao compile sales figures and battle reports,

the major e-commerce platforms would do it themselves.

Once Double Eleven ended,

these e-commerce platforms released their official rankings.

On the mobile digital rankings,

the top spots were basically dominated by phones under Huayao and Apple.

Only at the tenth spot of the Taobao best-selling models list could one see the ideal a9, an Ideal phone.

The ideal a9's original price of 2,999 yuan wasn't high,

and with a 200 yuan discount for Double Eleven,

this single phone with decent cost-performance made the list.

Ideal was nowhere to be seen on the other lists.

Thinking back to Ideal's clownish behavior earlier,

where they gave themselves so many 'sales champion' titles with specific qualifiers,

many netizens were clutching their stomachs in laughter.

With this Double Eleven,

Huayao Communications had almost completed a slaughter of the domestic mobile market.

After the collapse of Huayao Technology,

Huayao Communications had made a comeback,

once again becoming a nightmare and a specter for the domestic phone market,

and a powerful competitor to all domestic phone manufacturers.

Huayao imitated Ideal

by also focusing on a 'sea of models' tactic.

Offline, they used low-end phones like OV and Redmi,

while online, they relied on various types of phones,

stirring up a new wave in the mobile digital field.

Huayao Phone had also completed its coverage of low, medium, and high-end tiers.

Their market share grew larger and larger.

In just a few months,

after this Double Eleven, they deservedly surpassed Li Xiang Technology's market share,

becoming the new behemoth among domestic phone manufacturers.

The sales volume of Huayao Phone for this Double Eleven was not publicly disclosed,

but many industry insiders analyzed that it was definitely not low.

It was just that most people were still reluctant to replace their old phones

and were still using previously purchased Ideal phones or other generic domestic brands.

Otherwise, Huayao Phone's market possession would have even become number one!

Furthermore, these two years were a period of rapid development for mobile communications.

Phone iterations were very fast.

Judging by the current situation,

it wouldn't take many years for Huayao to surpass Ideal in domestic market possession.

After finishing with Double Eleven,

Bai Jingqing didn't stay idle.

He basically no longer took charge of affairs for individual phone series,

but instead stood at a higher strategic height to oversee Huayao's development direction.

If he had to personally manage every phone brand under Huayao,

it would be an enormous workload,

exhausting both mind and spirit.

He wasn't that foolish.

So he basically delegated authority over these brand series to his subordinates.

After all, the core technology was always in his hands,

so he wasn't worried about any problems arising.

First, he had acquired the duo of Yu Chengdong and Zhao Ming,

who were in charge of Huawei and Honor affairs.

As for the heads of other well-known phone manufacturers from his previous life,

he hadn't encountered them yet,

so he just found some talents with management experience to do the job.

In addition to this,

he continued to recruit more people.

Liu Guanfeng, whom he had met at the Mobile World Congress, officially joined Huayao at this time,

primarily responsible for the smart wearable device sector.

This would be a massive market in the future.

Although there was currently no way to persuade consumers to wear some mysterious wristband,

and no sufficient reason for them to buy such products,

with the development of technology,

more and more people would certainly pay attention to their health.

They would hope to develop healthy habits and monitor their health status through smart wearable devices like watches and wristbands,

so they could respond at any time.

And Liu Guanfeng did not disappoint Bai Jingqing.

Even without Bai Jingqing using the system to support him,

Liu Guanfeng led his team to create the first generation smart wristband, the Mi Band, within a month.

Actually, this Mi Band was essentially a modified version of the Z Watch,

but Bai Jingqing felt that it was too crude

to be worthy of the word 'Watch,'

so he gave it another name: Mi Band.
