114: Chapter 114 Mi Fans VS Huawei Fans: Mate s Exposed

Lei Jun did not retreat; he answered questions one by one and took photos one by one. He had no airs and was very approachable. It wasn't until 10 minutes later that security "rescued" him.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Let's start a group," he said, turning back.

Lin Bin was a beat slow to react, deliberately feigning that Lei Jun had made an impulsive decision due to everyone's enthusiasm: "What kind of group?"

"A Mi Fans group. Those who want to participate in the internal testing, please join. Those who are optimistic about our Xiaomi can also join." Lei Jun pointed at the students who were still gathered at the entrance, "You are the first batch. Next year, we welcome everyone to join Xiaomi."

This statement caused excitement once again... This was a real big boss, offering on-the-spot recruitment; joining now would surely mean becoming a trusted confidant.

On the spot, a "Xiaomi New Hope" QQ group was established. The first batch to join were the 500+ students present at Peking University.

The group owner was Lei Jun himself!

The first message in the group came from Lei Jun:

"Welcome everyone. From now on, you are not users, you are product managers!"

The second message: "I will look at every bug. I will reply to every suggestion. Let's work together to make MIUI the best Android system."

The students in the group were instantly won over by Lei Jun's words. As soon as the group muting ended, messages immediately flooded in.

"CEO Lei, is this for real?"

"In the same group as a big shot, taking a screenshot to commemorate this!"

"I have a suggestion: Can we change the skin of the input method? The current one is so ugly."

3 minutes later, Lei Jun replied: "The internal test version will be released next month, and there will be new skins."

The group exploded again.

"Holy crap, he actually replied!"

The messages quickly hit 99+, and with Lei Jun's promotion, these students had full expectations for the upcoming new system.

Lin Bin lurked in the group, watching the screen full of messages, and suddenly understood what Lei Jun meant by "sparks"!

532 people, right now it is 532.

But as long as everyone pulls in 10 people, that's 5,000 people; if everyone pulls in 100, that's 50,000 people.

These aren't users; they are missionaries.

...

The next day, Shenzhen.

Big Mouth Yu sat in the Huawei terminal office, scrolling through Weibo.

News of Lei Jun's speech unsurprisingly hit the trending list.

The trending screenshot was a photo of Lei Jun's speech at Peking University. That line of 1999 from Lei Jun had already been forwarded tens of thousands of times.

In the comments section, someone was calculating the costs: Snapdragon 1.2G processor, 1G RAM, four-inch 720 screen = 1999. Can Lei Jun afford to lose money?

"He has to lose money even if he can't afford it; this is called internet thinking."

"Huawei's honor play is also 1999, you guys should have a fight."

"Honor can't beat Xiaomi."

Big Mouth Yu finished reading and put down his phone.

He finally understood what that 1999 Shen Fei mentioned would usher in a golden age represented. It hadn't been long, and there was already an "imitator".

This marketing tactic actually has some substance.

Looking at the official Peking University Weibo and the online buzz.

Big Mouth Yu thought for a moment and decided to reply briefly.

"honor play has sold over 2.4 million units in half a month since its launch. Thanks to all Huawei Fans for their support. 1999, our product may not be the best, but this is our commitment to making technology accessible. We will continue on this path, and there will be more and better products next year."

He deliberately added a hashtag #Huawei Fans# to this Weibo post.

A few seconds after the Weibo was posted, the first reply that instantly understood the implication appeared in the comments section.

Lan Yangyang Assistant: "CEO Yu is @ing Lei Jun?"

"Huawei Fans VS Mi Fans, which one to choose?"

"Huawei Fans belong to Huawei, Mi Fans belong to Xiaomi. I am a consumer; I buy whoever offers better value for money. It has nothing to do with being a fan."

Big Mouth Yu saw this comment, smiled, and then liked it.

This is how it should be... But the mobile phone circle shouldn't be so calm from now on.

"To be honest, Honor's 10W fast charging has already crushed Xiaomi... No, it has crushed all Smartphones, including Honor's daddy, the mate series. @Big Mouth Yu Does the mate series have a fast charging version..."

Less than 2 minutes later, Big Mouth Yu replied: "The fast charging version of the mate series is being prepared, with a larger battery and faster charging speed. Please look forward to it!"

The revelation about the new phone immediately shifted the fans' topic of conversation.

This reply also dispelled some rumors... brainless rumors like fast charging damages the battery, flagship phones won't use it, and Honor is just a guinea pig.

Big Mouth Yu took another look at Weibo, then called Shen Fei.

"CEO Shen, have you seen Weibo..."

"I saw it." A hint of admiration could still be heard in Shen Fei's voice, "Lei Jun is a real character."

"What should we do?" Big Mouth Yu, fearing that Shen Fei might misunderstand, added, "Should we suppress him? I feel his marketing ability is quite strong."

"It is indeed strong, but we don't need to worry about it for now," Shen Fei said. "Let him burn his money, we'll do our own thing. Self-development and being a comprador have never been the same path. They might be very successful in the short term, but in the long run, we have the advantage."

"I understand, CEO Shen. But isn't the figure of 2.4 million units a bit too high-profile?"

Big Mouth Yu's words were a bit humble, but his tone didn't sound like it at all.

On the other end of the line, Shen Fei also smiled: "CEO Yu, are you looking for trouble, or are you showing off? How about this, triple the annual salary for the Honor project team, and pay it out of your year-end bonus."

"CEO Shen, I was wrong!" When Big Mouth Yu said this, his mouth was still full of laughter.

Year-end bonus or not, it didn't matter! After all, he had defended his status as a fierce general this year.

Last year, the mobile phone business department bought so many phones, and the revenue wasn't as high as these past few months, and it was also treated as a joke by the industry. Now, in just a few months, the two phones combined have already sold over 6 million units.

Finally, Shen Fei added: "Besides, this is for the supply chain to see. Tell MediaTek and Dongfang Factory that our scale can support them. As for your year-end bonus, it depends on the performance of the Mate s."

...

At 10 PM, Shen Fei returned home.

Zhang Mingzhu was curled up on the sofa reading a book. Seeing him return, she immediately hugged him.

Zhang Mingzhu, in the honeymoon phase, was still very clingy... She would fly to Guangzhou almost every weekend to spend the weekend with him...

Shen Fei carried her to the sofa she was just on and picked up the book she was reading. It was "A History of Western Philosophy," opened to the chapter on Kant.

"Preparing for exams."

"Mm-hmm." Zhang Mingzhu closed the book, then hugged him, lying firmly in his arms. "Graduating next year, originally my dad wanted me to be a teacher at Peking University. But now..."

She didn't finish, and Shen Fei looked at her.

"But now..." Zhang Mingzhu's face turned slightly red!

"And now he wants us to... get married next year."

The living room went quiet for a moment, and Shen Fei suddenly laughed: "Our dad is afraid I'll run away."
