Reborn: Billionaire in College
Chapter 664: The World’s First Folding Screen Mobile Phone
Yu Dazui’s words “make a mobile phone that everyone can afford” and “an unprecedented new form of mobile phone” directly ruined the argument.
Friendly forces can’t clean the ground.
In this regard, Lin Bin is much more reliable than Yu Dazui.
Orange Technology does not need Lin Bin to market itself in public, after all, it has Chen Pingjiang behind it.
After sending Yu Dazui away, Chen Pingjiang turned to meet Lei Jun and others.
“Boss Lei, you have maintained a good figure.”
Lei Jun smiled and said, “In terms of appearance, career, and age, I am not as good as you, Mr. Chen. If I don’t pay attention to my body management, won’t I be useless?”
Chen Pingjiang waved his hand: “Hey, why are you teasing me right away?”
Although the two met only a few times, they were very familiar with each other.
In the mobile phone market, although everyone is a competitor, they have always maintained a tacit understanding that Orange produces mid-to-high-end products and Xiaomi produces mid-to-low-end products. There is occasional competition, but it is controllable.
Some of Xiaomi’s top executives even dared to mock Huawei on Weibo, but they had no thoughts about Orange Technology.
He knew very well that if he dared to do something shady, his Weibo account would be gone tomorrow.
Relying on social media, Chen Pingjiang has an independent position in the domestic business community.
It is rumored that Musk on the other side of the ocean also wants to follow Chen Pingjiang’s example and acquire Twitter.
Due to limited time and the wrong occasion, everyone just greeted each other politely and did not have an in-depth discussion on the OOS system.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, admission had already been completed and Chen Pingjiang sat in the first row.
On the stage, Lin Bin had already walked out and waved to the audience under the spotlight.
This simple action immediately caused the orange fans in the audience to cheer.
Lei Jun felt a sour taste in his mouth as he watched.
Although Xiaomi and Huawei have loyal fans, they cannot compare with Orange.
The latter’s die-hard fans are comparable to those of Apple.
This cannot be achieved by marketing alone, but requires strong product power and the unique style and charm of the founder. In addition, now that Orange Technology has been sanctioned, fans also have a sense of solidarity.
“Welcome everyone to today’s press conference.” Lin Bin said with a smile: “This is almost one of the most important press conferences of Orange Technology, which can be compared with the S1 press conference of that year. In the first half of the press conference, I will introduce to you the three new mobile phones of Orange Technology, and in the second half, Mr. Chen Pingjiang, chairman of the group, will explain the OOS system to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers got louder.
Chen Pingjiang hasn’t appeared at Orange Technology’s press conference for a long time. Although everyone knew he was coming, no one expected him to show up in person.
The first thing to be introduced is naturally Orange Technology’s flagship product this year, the tenth generation of the S series mobile phone, S10.
This is naturally an upgrade based on the S9, surpassing the configuration of the Orange S9 in all aspects, but the price has dropped instead of increased.
Listening to the thunderous cheers of “awesome” from the audience.
The heads of Xiaomi/VIVO/OPPO all looked unhappy, and some even felt a little indignant.
In terms of configuration, our company is not much different from his. Isn’t the only thing we lack the brand power?
Why?
Why do you accuse us, the manufacturer, of taking advantage of you just because we raise the price a little?
Why are you cheering like a new king is being crowned just because they lowered the price by 200 yuan?
Tell me WHY?
WHY?
BABY! why?
In this regard, Chen Pingjiang could only shrug his shoulders.
Brand power is a very illusory thing.
It was set too low in the past, and everyone’s impression of the brand is at this level. It is very difficult to improve it because user perception is difficult to change.
Even a strong company like Xiaomi can only sell its flagship model for 25 to 5 yuan after 6000 years.
Even so, there are still many voices in the market that say they are cutting leeks. On the other hand, if an Apple phone is only sold for 5-6K, it will be praised by people.
At this moment, the stage lights suddenly dimmed, and a three-dimensional animation of mechanical gears turning appeared on the big screen.
Lin Bin unbuttoned his suit and placed his right hand on the podium. This signature move made Lei Jun in the front row suddenly sit up straight – every time Orange Technology is about to launch a big move, the CEO will make this move.
This is not only the analysis of netizens, but also the conclusion of Lei Jun as a long-time friend.
“After seven years of exploring the future of mobile phones, we finally found the answer.” Lin Bin’s voice trembled a little, and the large screen suddenly lit up. The silver-gray X1 double-folding mobile phone slowly rotated on the magnetic levitation booth. “This is not an improvement, it is a revolution.”
In the first row of the audience, Lei Jun’s Adam’s apple moved.
He clearly saw that the phone was incredibly thin when unfolded. When the screen switched to folded form, the screens on both sides fit perfectly together, fitting seamlessly like a titanium alloy brick.
“Three-axis planetary gear hinge, 0.01mm processing accuracy.” When Lin Bin held up the prototype, the fuselage glowed with an icy blue light under the light. “After 3 folding tests, the crease depth does not exceed microns – equivalent to one twentieth of the diameter of a human hair.”
At the same time, everything exploded inside and outside the venue as well as in the live broadcast room.
The barrage is flooding the screen like crazy!
“Sure enough, he has a big trick up his sleeve, in the form of a cell phone.”
“The foldable tablet turns into a tablet in seconds! Is Apple still squeezing out toothpaste???”
“Oh no, I was planning to buy S10, but now I am hesitant.”
“It folds perfectly and cured my obsessive-compulsive disorder that lasted for ten years!”
“The crease is almost invisible on the screen.”
“20 folding tests? I can’t even live as long as it (crying).”
Liu Zihong, CEO of Roupai Mobile, who was watching the live broadcast, cried even more.
The world’s first foldable flexible screen mobile phone!
This title should have belonged to their Roupai school.
However, because BOE did not supply and Samsung had not yet reached mass production, their plan was aborted. Unexpectedly, Orange Technology has now taken the lead in producing it.
Yes.
According to the original timeline, the world’s first foldable screen mobile phone was released at the end of last year.
And it comes from a little-known brand.
FlexPai!
Before Samsung and Huawei officially released foldable screen phones, Royole released the world’s first foldable screen phone.
After the release of FlexPai, it became one of the five major global trends predicted by Forbes. Other trends include 5G, AI, etc. However, some of the other trends have come true, but FlexPai has not become a trend.
Moreover, Liu Zihong, CEO and founder of Royole, was also selected as one of the “Top 2015 Innovators in China and the United States in by Forbes”, and was on the list together with Elon Musk and others, but Elon Musk’s ranking is getting higher and higher, while Liu Zihong has fallen from the altar.
Although FlexPai looks cheap now in terms of workmanship, appearance, and screen crease treatment, it is an indisputable fact that the world’s first foldable screen mobile phone is FlexPai.
And now history is being rewritten.
As an important shareholder of BOE.
Chen Pingjiang sent people to assist BOE in the technical research and development of flexible screens, and there was no doubt that they would get the first batch of production.
As for the soft school, it’s better to stay where it’s cooler.
Their first foldable phone didn’t cause a stir, and they ended up going bankrupt.
At present, the trend of foldable screen mobile phones is still led by Chen Pingjiang. (End of this chapter)
