123: Chapter 123: News of the Second Generation Phone Launch Event Released!

Fanmi Technology.

Lei Jun's office.

As the launch day drew closer, the progress on the self-developed chip was also meeting expectations.

The initial testing of the samples had been completed, and the final pre-mass production tests were underway.

Inside the office, Lei Jun and Li Guoqiang were discussing the details of the launch event and the upcoming promotional plan.

"I want three large screens to wrap around the entire launch venue, and all the animations and PPTs used must have a naked-eye 3D effect!"

Lei Jun's voice echoed in the office.

"Isn't your requirement a bit too high? Three large screens, plus naked-eye 3D effects... that means we need to set up the venue in advance, at least half a month early to build the stage and install the large screens..."

"Those venues charge by the day; half a month would cost over a hundred thousand!"

"Plus the stage lighting, labor... and the large screens you want... it'll cost hundreds of thousands just for the preliminary setup. For the whole event, it could even reach over a million. Are you serious?"

"A million? So be it. For this launch, I only want the best results!" Lei Jun's tone was firm, his eyes shining.

He knew very well that the significance of the second-generation fanmi mobile phone launch was absolutely worth such a grand display. The self-developed system and self-developed chip alone were enough to drive all technology enthusiasts in China crazy, not to mention the Fast Charging Technology, the revolutionary camera, and the memory upgrade that would redefine industry standards!

With these epoch-making technologies combined, the second-generation fanmi mobile phone was definitely worthy of being placed on a pedestal. How could the launch event for such a phone be anything less than spectacular!

"Alright, I understand!"

Seeing the gleam in Lei Jun's eyes, Li Guoqiang's eyes also flickered with fire.

He naturally knew that the technological innovations of this second-generation fanmi mobile phone would definitely shock the world, and his personal importance placed on this launch event was no less than Lei Jun's.

"Is the promotional plan finalized?" Lei Jun asked again.

"Well, I'm just waiting for you to make the call!"

Li Guoqiang handed over two planning proposals, opened them separately, and placed them in front of Lei Jun.

"Let's use this one!" Lei Jun carefully reviewed both proposals and picked one.

"The Light of Technology, Shining Because of You!"

He whispered to himself, the intense glow in his eyes becoming more and more obvious, and finally, he pointed to the budget column of the proposal.

"The budget is too low!"

"Five hundred million is too little??" Li Guoqiang was stunned, and he gasped again.

"Dump 1 billion into it first!!" Lei Jun said in a deep voice without the slightest hesitation.

"There is one month left until the launch. Within this month, you must spend at least 500 million for me. The remaining 500 million must be spent entirely in the period after the launch event and before the phone officially hits the market!"

Lei Jun's tone was firm and unquestionable. Before, when there was no money, they had to make do. Now that there were 10 billion in the account, why keep it instead of spending it? Only by spending it could they earn more!

Over the past six months or so, the sales of the fanmi 1 phone had not decreased over time; on the contrary, more and more people were buying it. So far, nearly 20 million units had been sold. Added to that were the patent licensing fees, which had accumulated this huge fortune, giving Lei Jun the confidence now.

"Alright, I'll go arrange it!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, his eyes blazing with fire, unable to suppress his excitement.

1 billion, all used for promotion and advertising—he had never fought such a wealthy battle before!!

"This month, I guarantee that both online and offline, as long as users go out or go online, they will definitely see our advertisements!!"

Li Guoqiang said in a deep voice, and after finishing, he turned and hurriedly left the office.

...

Hangzhou City, inside a small, dilapidated warehouse.

A company sign engraved with the words "Jinjiang Literature City" was thrown in the corner, and the sound of typing on keyboards kept ringing out, carrying a sense of urgency.

At this moment, a figure suddenly pulled open the glass door of the warehouse from the outside.

"Lao Qiu, did you see the news online? Something big has happened!!" Wu Chen stormed into the warehouse, shouting excitedly.

"What are you making such a racket for? You're scaring me half to death!"

In the corner, Yu Zhengqing raised his head and said, somewhat speechless.

"What happened?"

Qiu Zhengyang looked at Wu Chen's excited expression, his heart stirred slightly, and then he quickly opened some of the community and forum websites he often visited.

Then, his eyes lit up suddenly.

"Fanmi launch event??"

Just as he clicked into a website, there were instant pop-up advertisements, and the homepage ads were all news about the upcoming Fanmi launch event.

"Goodness, they've really gone all out on this advertising!!" Yu Zhengqing, who had clearly also seen the ads, couldn't help but say.

"Is that the point? The point is that Fanmi is holding a launch event, a launch event for the second-generation mobile phone!!"

Wu Chen slammed an advertising flyer onto the table and shouted excitedly again.

"The Light of Technology, Shining Because of You... Redefining mobile phone photography..."

Qiu Zhengyang carefully read the content of the advertisement and frowned slightly.

"Judging by the ad, the highlight of the second-generation fanmi mobile phone is the camera function?"

"That's correct; didn't they release news earlier saying they found a new camera supplier..." Yu Zhengqing said casually, not feeling surprised.

"This is clearly targeting Samsung's camera phones; they're really going head-to-head!"

"That's not right; why don't I see any news about the Pangu System?" Qiu Zhengyang frowned tightly.

According to his speculation, Fanmi's previous R&D focus was on the self-developed system. The news about Pangu being open-sourced was clearly to prepare for the full launch of the pure-blood Pangu System. It was impossible for there to be only the camera function as a highlight at this time.

"You're not still thinking that the pure-blood Pangu System will be launched on the second-generation phone, are you?" Yu Zhengqing shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Look at the community discussions; someone specifically investigated, and Fanmi and High Copper actually don't have deep cooperation. This means that Fanmi didn't get the chip that adapts to the Pangu System..."

"This second-generation phone will likely still need to be compatible with the android application layer architecture, so it definitely can't be considered a pure-blood Pangu!"

Listening to Yu Zhengqing's words, Qiu Zhengyang's heart sank, and he immediately felt that things were not looking good.

Previously, there had been too much discussion online about Fanmi's self-developed system, which had almost formed a fixed impression in the minds of consumers.

Everyone was looking forward to the launch of Fanmi's pure-blood Pangu System. If it wasn't there... it would definitely fall short of expectations and would certainly attract a lot of dissatisfaction, which would definitely be troublesome then.

Even if there were innovative highlights, they would all be automatically ignored by consumers.

Expectations that are too high often lead to disappointment, which is definitely not a good thing.
