83: Chapter 83 This phone is so awesome, why don't you actually sell it?

As Bai Jingqing stood on the stage to accept his awards,

he didn't forget to take a jab at the stick country.

“It's not that I want to say anything,

but is this really the level of the stick country?

Wasn't your Galaxy Note Round supposed to be invincible?

How come you couldn't even win a single award?

Is it because you didn't want to win?

Oh, I see,

it turns out the people of the stick country are so noble and upright,

so courteous to others,

that even though they could have won the award,

they deliberately chose not to,

just to yield it to people from other countries.

Truly, you are too kind!

But this bit of etiquette,

was probably taught to you by us Long Country people in the first place, right?”

At this point, it was no longer the presentation segment for the exhibits,

so there was no simultaneous interpretation.

Although he couldn't understand what Bai Jingqing was saying,

seeing the disdainful look and the contemptuous expression Bai Jingqing directed at him,

President Choi could roughly guess the gist of it.

He asked the female translator next to him what he was saying.

The female translator shook her head: “I'm sorry, President Choi,

I didn't hear clearly.”

Actually, she had heard perfectly well,

but looking at President Choi's expression, which looked like he was about to devour someone,

she really didn't dare translate it for him.

If she translated it,

he would likely go on another rampage.

President Choi was so angry he punched the wall.

Finally, the dust settled,

and Bai Jingqing returned to his booth,

carrying the two major awards and clutching the trophies.

The surrounding owners of small companies all sent their congratulations: “Congratulations! Brother, you really were a hidden dragon!”

“Congratulations, having such a great product and not showing it off to us earlier!”

“Brother, that was awesome! You really stepped on the stick country's head to take the top prize.

I declare this World Mobile Communication Congress to be the most prestigious one yet!”

Liu Guanfeng, who was next to him, also approached and said: “Brother Bai,

I failed to recognize your greatness before.

I thought you were just here to join the fun,

I didn't expect you to actually bring a work to compete,

and even win Best Design and Best New Phone.

I wonder if what you said before still counts?”

Bai Jingqing set the trophies down and asked: “What did I say before that you're asking about?”

Liu Guanfeng said: “Didn't you say we should cooperate?

I wonder if there's still a chance now.”

Bai Jingqing nodded: “Of course.

Our Xiaomi is currently on a path of gradual development,

and we need more like-minded partners.

Xiaomi is always willing to open its arms to everyone.

Anyone who has ideas about collaborating with me

can come and talk to me later.”

Bai Jingqing's last sentence was directed at the people from the small companies present.

Meanwhile, something suddenly clicked in Liu Guanfeng's mind.

When they were on stage,

he had actually realized one thing:

Bai Jingqing was the boss of Xiaomi.

He had heard of xiaomi phones before,

and at this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim: “Oh!

So the 'Little Boss Bai' mentioned on the forums is you!

Brother Bai, the name xiaomi phone is truly famous!

I've also long admired the reputation of Little Boss Bai.”

The two exchanged more pleasantries,

hit it off immediately regarding the cooperation,

and discussed a lot about their future collaboration.

Talking about yesterday's basic technology segment again,

Liu Guanfeng said: “If I remember correctly,

during the introduction on stage just now,

Brother Bai's xiaomi 6 Ultra-Fast Flash Charge should also be able to reach 20W, right?

In that case, why didn't you participate in the basic technology segment yesterday?

Maybe you could have won another award,

and maybe we could have seen the xiaomi 6 earlier.”

Bai Jingqing shook his head: “What kind of basic technology is a fast charge?

I think it's just a very conventional technology.

Unlike a certain factory,

that had to go up and show off a 20W charge.

Truly not afraid of embarrassing themselves,

and in the end, they still didn't win an award.”

Xue Haixin happened to be secretly paying attention nearby.

Hearing Bai Jingqing say this,

he obviously knew he was being insulted indirectly,

and he was so angry he wanted to kill someone.

However, the man had just won the highly prestigious Best New Phone Award

and the Best Design Award,

greatly boosting the prestige of Long Country.

At this moment, Bai Jingqing was the man of the hour,

and he didn't dare be so blind as to

go over and look for trouble.

Liu Guanfeng nodded: “As expected of Little Boss Bai,

you really have a grand vision.

But I have one more thing that puzzles me,

I've wanted to ask it all along,

but never had the chance.”

Bai Jingqing: “What is it? Go ahead and ask.”

Liu Guanfeng: “It's not a big deal,

I just want to know why your phone is called xiaomi phone?

The name feels a bit low-end,

it sounds like a knock-off brand at first listen,

and doesn't even make people want to buy it.

If it weren't for those people on the gaming forums advertising for you,

I really don't know who would pay attention to a 'xiaomi phone'.”

Bai Jingqing shook his head: “No, no, no,

this name isn't low-end at all.

The name xiaomi phone uses an allusion.

'Millet plus rifles', you know that, right?

Back then, our predecessors started from nothing,

and relying only on Millet plus rifles,

they fought for this land,

which led to today's prosperity.

We can never forget the pioneering spirit of our predecessors.

It is this very spirit that inspires me to keep moving forward,

inspiring me to bring better and more awesome technology to everyone.

That's why I gave it the name Xiaomi.”

A group of people were now idle,

so they all gathered around to listen to Bai Jingqing boast.

Bai Jingqing was also happy to chat with them more;

perhaps the next big manufacturer would emerge from among these people.

The current mobile phone landscape was far from the endgame.

A major reshuffle could happen at any time,

so there was no harm in being on good terms with these people.

And Xue Haixin was also secretly watching from his side.

After listening to Bai Jingqing boast for a while,

he found it boring,

and then he went back to the stick country's exhibition hall to find the Samsung president.

The two continued their discussion.

President Choi was dying of anger at this moment.

“Damn it!

Today was a huge embarrassment!

This kid actually publicly insulted our stick country in front of such a large audience at the congress!

This is unbearable!

I really wish I could send someone to take him out!”

Xue Haixin quickly advised: “President Choi, calm down! Calm down!

Think about it, if his phone was really as awesome as he boasted,

would his phone still only occupy such a small market share?

Samsung phones rank second in worldwide sales,

and our Li Xiang Phone ranks first in Long Country.

If the two of us cooperate,

it's a powerful alliance!

How could a small manufacturer like him withstand the two of us joining forces?

I think he just got lucky,

obtaining some technology from somewhere

to produce such a Dual Curved Screen phone.

He just made one xiaomi 6 and brought it to the competition,

but I believe his yield rate must not be high!

If he's so awesome,

why doesn't he have any stock to sell?”
