At this moment, the internet was filled with a torrent of abuse against domestic mobile phones!
Domestic mobile phones had always imitated Apple, chasing in Apple's footsteps. In everyone's eyes, they were simply devout plagiarists. As soon as Apple released a new trend, they would immediately follow suit and copy it!
And this situation was escalating, reaching an uncontrollable point!
Innovation?
Perhaps there was a little.
Things like so-called full screens, curved screens, etc... now even slide phones had appeared!
However, while seemingly full of gimmicks, there was no significant difference from the original; it was purely for novelty!
Truly coming up with an innovative technology that would amaze China and even the entire world was nothing short of a pipe dream!
But as the saying goes, let him be strong, the gentle breeze still brushes the mountain.
After Apple released its new phone, the three companies did not panic. Instead, they continued to systematically roll out their products, preparing for their press conferences!
"CEO Lei, Apple's new phone will occupy a certain market share. The estimated sales for this new release might be much lower than before!"
The senior executive of Dami Technology said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry about it. Our goal is for the real pre-orders on the day of the press conference to exceed 500,000!"
Lei Jun said seriously.
On the day of the press conference, as soon as the speech ended, the official website would immediately open the spot pre-order channel!
However, the pre-order data people usually saw was often several times higher than the actual Backstage data, creating a false impression of extreme popularity... These were already common phenomena in the mobile phone industry!
What Lei Jun wanted was not the kind where you could just enter a phone number to make a reservation, but the actual number of pre-orders where real users spent real money to place full orders!
500,000 real pre-orders could almost be considered a phenomenal sales volume in the mobile phone industry!
Many phones seemingly sold millions in a day, but in reality, they didn't even reach 100,000. The most typical example was the Smartisan Phone, which only shipped 500,000 units in an entire year!
The day of the press conference was undoubtedly when pre-orders were highest.
The figure of 500,000 was a data point Lei Jun arrived at by incorporating major selling points such as the Super Battery and Wireless Charging!
As long as this data could be achieved, the shipment volume for the entire quarter could easily reach over 30 million units!
It was important to note that the previous model, the Dami 8, had been out for several months, and even with a new phone about to be released, its shipment volume was still less than 1 million units!
The entire 8 series, along with several low-end models, only sold 6 million units in total!
This new phone was a flagship, high-end model, so sales would naturally be lower. However, Lei Jun still had high hopes, with an expectation of selling 500,000 units on the day of the press conference!
"Is Lei Jun's expectation also 500,000?"
Yu Chengdong listened to his subordinate's report and pondered, "Then let's set our target at 500,000 units too! If we can reach that number on the day, it can basically be considered a huge success!"
Huang Zhang also set his expected pre-order target at 500,000 units.
This meant that the three companies together would have to sell 1.5 million phones on the day of their press conferences!
1.5 million units in one day.
In fact, strictly speaking, it wasn't even a full day, but only seven or eight hours!
Aside from giants like Apple and Samsung, such explosive sales had only been seen when Dami first emerged!
But the hottest trend of smartphones had long passed... The three companies could only pin their hopes on the Super Battery and Wireless Charging, hoping that domestic mobile phones could once again usher in a peak explosion!
And so, time continued to pass.
The three companies began to ramp up their promotions, and the internet was flooded with advertisements for their own brands!
"The three companies' promotional war has begun!"
The industry bigwigs who had opted out were also closely following the developments.
"The promotional efforts are strong, they're riding a wave right now, so there's no need to rush to compete with them for advertising resources!"
"It's just that the entire manufacturing process of that Super Battery is somewhat mysterious; it's impossible to crack!"
"And the source of transport, surprisingly, is Su Yan's villa! Celestial Technology doesn't have a physical factory!"
"This guy is too mysterious, a bit strange! Let's observe for a while. If the Super Battery really has no problems, maybe we can consider cooperating with him again!"
The other bigwigs' thoughts were simple.
They didn't believe that such a sudden appearance of super technology would be foolproof!
Even the top-tier Apple, after releasing new phones, would encounter a series of issues, and even if the craftsmanship was exceptionally perfect, it couldn't prevent bugs from appearing.
A 500,000 mAh Super Battery, such an unimaginable black technology, must also have its drawbacks!
Anyway, they weren't in a hurry to release new phones, so they might as well let Dami Technology's three "guinea pigs" try it out first. If the Super Battery really had no problems, it wouldn't be too late for them to enter the market!
...
Finally, the time arrived.
Tomorrow was Apple's official shipping date...
And today, the entire network was abuzz: Dami Technology, Huawei Technology, and Meizu Technology all simultaneously launched their press conferences at 2 PM, releasing their latest products!
The official websites of the three companies, as well as their partnered major video and live streaming sites, had all opened their live streams, pinning them to the most prominent position on their homepages!
But the live stream with the most viewers was Dami Technology's.
The total number of real viewers across the entire network reached as high as 2 million!
Don't underestimate these 2 million.
These were genuine numbers, far incomparable to the so-called tens of millions of "hotness" values on Shayu Live!
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"Lei Monkey-show has changed clothes? Not imitating Steve Jobs anymore?"
"Looking at these clothes, it seems like they're up to something!"
"It's the same for Huawei and Meizu; the speakers aren't imitating Steve Jobs anymore!"
"It's out! As expected, a slide full screen!"
"A slide full screen, Dami is good, it has something!"
"It looks much better than Apple's decade-old notch screen, at least in terms of aesthetics!"
"Dami is impressive, the RAM has gone directly up to 10GB! And it's using a 2K screen!"
"Snapdragon 845, Sony camera, OLED 2340x1080 screen... a typical flagship phone, no wonder rumors say it's over 4000 yuan!"
"Huawei is also stepping up, their specs are almost catching up to Dami!"
"Meizu is the same, all of them released flagship phones. These three companies are competing head-to-head!"
"..."
As the press conferences unfolded, the three bigwigs described the brand-new exterior designs, various numerical values, new features, and changes in a dazzling manner at their respective events!
Screen, design, camera, performance... and so on. The three spent nearly an hour and a half meticulously introducing everything.
"How come they haven't mentioned battery capacity and endurance?"
"Is there a need to say? Isn't it just the same old fast charging and battery? Just put out a parameter diagram at the end, anyway, in this aspect, Android phones are more reliable than Apple!"
"Wait, now they're talking about endurance!"
"Did I hear that right? Lei Jun just said there's a revolutionary innovation in battery technology this time?"
"Yu Chengdong mentioned it too!"
"Meizu as well!"
"What the heck? All three companies are causing trouble together? Interesting!"
Just as the barrage viewers were speculating about what this so-called revolutionary battery innovation from the three companies could be, suddenly, on the big screens of all three companies, a identical image flashed "boom" almost simultaneously!
And the text on the screen was also identical—
Breaking News: 500,000 mAh, Super Battery!
