122: Chapter 122 Why are they using Xiaomi 6 phones for the Spring Festival Gala?
The Xue family could be considered a large clan;
one could say they were a thriving family,
and Xue Haixin couldn't even recognize all of his own various relatives.
When they had a New Year's Eve dinner like this,
there were dozens of people just at the dining table.
Although most of them were older
and didn't pay much attention to technology and digital products,
they wouldn't necessarily be able to recognize what phones the actors on the Spring Festival Gala stage were holding.
However, there were some younger juniors
who usually followed the digital circle,
especially since they had a relative like Xue Haixin who was a director at Li Xiang Technology.
When that skit actor walked out from backstage holding a xiaomi 6,
a sharp-eyed child quickly recognized the phone.
"Uncle, the phone in that actor's hand doesn't seem to be a Li Xiang Phone, does it?
If I remember correctly,
looking at the appearance of this phone,
it should be a xiaomi 6!"
The little fellow suddenly shouted out.
Xue Haixin looked at his teenage nephew,
and hearing the words coming out of his mouth,
he was also taken aback.
He also hurriedly turned his gaze to the actor on the TV screen,
and indeed found that the phone the actor was holding was not a Li Xiang Phone,
but a xiaomi 6!
At this time, other relatives nearby hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet,
and praised him, saying: "Xiao Peng, you're pretty good,
you can even recognize what kind of phone that is!"
The child called Xiao Peng said with some pride: "Because the xiaomi 6 is the first of all current phones to use a Dual Curved Screen,
even foreign phones haven't been able to do it!
Our teacher specifically told us
that xiaomi phones are the pride of our Dragon Kingdom,
so I have a very strong impression of it.
By the way, Uncle,
didn't you say just now that the Spring Festival Gala uses phones from your Ideal company?
Why did a xiaomi 6 appear?"
Xue Haixin was suddenly speechless: "...This... this..."
He stammered for a long time without coming up with a particularly good answer;
he had just finished bragging,
and immediately got slapped in the face.
He was also very puzzled now,
wondering why the phone this skit actor was holding was actually a xiaomi 6.
Hadn't they already reached an agreement with the Spring Festival Gala?
Hadn't they already sent over all of Ideal's new phones?
Could it be that some mistake had occurred?
Right, a mistake really was possible!
After all, the Spring Festival Gala was a live stage,
so it was normal for some minor errors to occur.
Even though they had rehearsed many times in advance,
if an actor suddenly grabbed the wrong phone while busy going on stage,
and didn't use the phone sponsored by Ideal
but used their own phone instead,
that was also a very likely possibility!
So he spoke up and said: "They must have taken the wrong one.
I expect the situation backstage is quite chaotic;
maybe the actor didn't notice before going on stage
and accidentally grabbed the wrong phone;
this is a very normal thing."
Everyone nodded one after another,
feeling that this was a reasonable explanation,
so they didn't continue to dwell on this topic
and kept watching.
However, the more they watched, the more they realized something was wrong;
the phones held by many actors who came out later
were actually all xiaomi 6s!
Xue Haixin naturally noticed this as well;
now he didn't even have an appetite to eat,
his face was ashen,
and even bragging with the people next to him felt a bit unnatural.
These people around him usually complimented him,
but now seeing that the phones held by these actors on the Spring Festival Gala were not all Li Xiang Phones,
and were clearly all xiaomi 6s just like before,
it was quite different from what Xue Haixin had just said!
But they were too embarrassed to ask,
because Xue Haixin's expression was obviously very poor,
and no one would seek to make things unpleasant on such an occasion.
However, children's words are without restraint after all,
and the child called Xiao Peng spoke up again at this time: "Uncle,
didn't you say just now that the phones used on the Spring Festival Gala were all provided by Ideal?
How come I see that all the ones they're holding are xiaomi 6s!
If one or two people took the wrong one, it would be considered normal,
but now so many people have come on stage holding xiaomi 6s,
and the host just now was also holding a xiaomi 6;
could it be that everyone got it wrong?"
Xue Haixin's face turned quite red,
clearly he was not happy,
but since the other party was a junior,
he was too embarrassed to lose his temper with him,
and the scene became awkward for a moment.
Xiao Peng's mother quickly pulled Xiao Peng over
and told him not to talk nonsense,
and in her urgency, she also found a reason for Xue Haixin: "Maybe xiaomi is also a sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala;
for such a big gala,
having several phone sponsors
is a very normal thing."
Xue Haixin acted as if he had caught a life-saving straw
and hurriedly said: "Right, right,
it should be like that.
Everyone wait and see,
you should see our Li Xiang Phones."
At this time, although people were still watching the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala,
their state of mind was clearly different from before.
Before, they purely treated the Spring Festival Gala as background noise
and not many people paid attention to its content.
But now they were watching very seriously;
it wasn't that they particularly wanted to embarrass Xue Haixin,
but they just wanted to verify if what Xue Haixin said was true,
and they were all consciously or unconsciously paying attention to the phones in the hands of the audience, actors, and hosts at the Spring Festival Gala scene.
Then they discovered with great surprise
that it seemed none of the phones looked like a Li Xiang Phone;
basically all the phones were xiaomi 6s!
Even Xue Haixin was a bit confused.
"Oh! It's time to grab red envelopes!
It's on the hour again!"
Someone suddenly said at this time,
then pulled out their phone
and hurriedly started shaking it.
The people nearby all looked toward him,
and someone said: "Is Douyin giving out red envelopes again?
Quick, quick, everyone download Douyin and let's grab them together;
although the amount isn't large,
it's still a few yuan.
It can be withdrawn directly to WeChat or Alipay."
"What? You only got a few yuan?
I just grabbed an 11 yuan red envelope;
is there anyone with better luck than me?"
"You really have to say,
originally I downloaded this Douyin just to grab the Spring Festival Gala red envelopes,
but when I was free, I browsed the short videos on Douyin
and found that there are quite a lot of interesting ones.
And this software is very convenient for browsing videos;
with just a swipe, you go to the next video.
If you have nothing to do, you can pull out your phone anytime to watch a few videos
to pass the time;
it really is quite convenient.
I have to say the person who created Douyin is really a genius;
I don't know which company made it.
It doesn't seem to be Tencent,
nor is it Ali;
I heard it's some Huayao company."
