Chapter 404: Knocking on the Doors to European and American Markets

"It only takes 10 minutes and 21 seconds to fully charge a 10,000 mAh super lithium battery. Mr. Chen did not exaggerate at all. This is a bit scary!"

After Lin Xiaolong showed the collection certificate, he kept staring at the battery of the brilliant X2.

After his four-hour test, the user received the brilliant X2 exactly the same as the brilliant X2 released by Chen Xing.

AB machine deceives people?

Data deception?

It doesn't exist!

"Mr. Chen is so honest. He is an honest man. He doesn't exaggerate at all. I feel like I should learn from Mr. Lei."

"I vaguely remember Mr. Lei, the old man, saying that the thickness of the self-developed notebook is thinner than a one-yuan coin. I didn't expect it to be standing up!"

"I was at the scene, and I was talking to the rice noodles next to me about whether some black compression technology, or cloud technology, was used. Unexpectedly, he just put the one-yuan coin up. It was a perfect sixth!"

"Rebus: Are you OK?"

"Compared with his friends and businessmen, Mr. Chen really looks like an honest and honest industrialist."

All the data were not falsified. Pou Ke and Lee Jae-yong were finally worried. They could only accept the fact that the brilliant X2 was far ahead and could not catch up.

In the past, Longguo manufacturers were chasing after them. They not only had to conquer semiconductor chips, information communications, OLED screens, camera lens modules, operating systems...

Now the tide has turned, and Apple and Korean Star Group are chasing after them.

The chip is a 7nm, Chinese chip using the most advanced dual stacking technology.

Want to master stacking technology?

Sorry, it's not that simple.

Stacking technology not only requires redesigning the transistor structure, but also overcoming chip heat dissipation issues. Longxing Group has invisibly built its own high wall.

Just like the airtight patented technology of fuel vehicles that can be stacked dozens of meters thick, Longxing Group also has its own patent barriers.

Even if they conquer chip stacking technology, there are still 5G high-speed networks and camera lens modules waiting for them to conquer.

Taking a step back, even if chip stacking technology, 5G high-speed network and camera lens modules are all conquered, Apple and Korean Star Group can make progress, but Longxing Group cannot?

Who dares to say that when rival companies conquer existing technologies, Longxing Group will not be able to produce 6G networks or 5-nanometer stacked chips?

"well!"

The hotel guy sighed.

Even Li Zaiyong sighed in unison. This time, the two of them have seen what it means to rise as a great power.

Although they were badly beaten, neither of them turned off the live broadcast. They were still waiting for the brilliant X2 to unfold the internal screen and switch to tablet mode for evaluation.

Just as they wished, after Lin Xiaolong measured the data on the mobile phone, he placed his left thumb on the right side of the phone and said: "We have finished testing the mobile phone, it's time to test our tablet."

The words fell.

He used his thumbs to open the inner screen.

As the built-in screen unfolds, the original 1.3CM body thickness is evened out and becomes a 0.65CM thick tablet.

After unfolding the inner screen, Lin Xiaolong looked at the 15.64-inch tablet and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so perfect. Not only is the body very thin and full of fashion, but this folding screen is big or small. It’s over.”

Just after he finished speaking, he added: "Imagine you are lying in bed and want to watch a movie. The bigger the OLED screen, the better. This phone can really meet any of your needs."

Watching the evaluation at such a close distance, the viewers in the live broadcast room are not fools and have their own judgment ability.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"The moment the OLED screen unfolds, I feel that the quality of this phone is truly revealed, and it fits my identity."

"Originally, I wanted to wait, but now I decide to take action instead of thinking!"

"Four words, far ahead!"

Not only users have never seen a mobile phone with a folding screen design, but manufacturers have also never seen such a genius idea.

Flexible OLED screens used to be "fake products" that couldn't be put on the market because the color and saturation were not as good as ordinary OLED screens. But after Chen Xing's involution, manufacturers suddenly opened up their ideas.

Especially Lee Jae-yong, who is still watching the live broadcast, has already planned to start supervising the OLED screen R&D department when he returns to the peninsula. He must produce an M-series quality flexible OLED screen within three months for the new flagship folding screen. .

As for the trousers, he has already put them on.

Apple's OLED screens are provided by Korean Star Group. If Korean Star Group had not conquered the flexible OLED screen, it would not have been able to create a folding screen mobile phone.

While Pou Ke and Lee Jae-yong were thinking a lot, Lin Xiaolong seemed to have discovered a new world. He clicked on the tablet's application and said: "Although there are few software applications that are compatible with Tianxuan operating system, it now actually supports Penguin Family Bucket."

The built-in Penguin Video, Penguin Music, and Penguin QQ all explain to users that Penguin Company has long known that Longxing Group wants to develop PC-side software applications. This detail is very critical.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Lin Xiaolong discovered a novelty and said, "Douyin? What is this?"

He also saw this software application when it was in mobile phone mode, but he didn't expect that it would still be available when it was switched to tablet mode.

I saw him double-click the application and open the Douyin short video.

The next second.

A "dynamic" video of a busty beauty wearing a bikini and dancing in front of the camera to the dynamic music made Lin Xiaolong stunned and swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect that the opening would be so thunderous.

"Pornographic software?"

"This...this...this...is bigger than my head."

"What kind of software is this? It seems that the video is only a dozen seconds long and it keeps repeating. How can my brothers stand it?"

"I'm going to the bathroom, brothers."

"This beauty looks familiar. She seems to be a Malaysian female internet celebrity on YouTube. She focuses on openness. It's normal to have a larger scale and a more turbulent body."

"This scale is normal. I feel like it's about to hit my mouth!"

No one expected that a small short video on Douyin would be a critical hit at the beginning. After Lin Xiaolong coughed twice, he proved his innocence and said, "This is not an application I downloaded. It comes with my phone. You have to prove my innocence for me."

While speaking, he looked at the next video with a curious attitude. He thought this type of software was quite interesting. Not only was the video short, but it also had a large amount of information and the key content was exciting.

In traditional cognition, the length of a video is often more than ten minutes.

Take the videos made by the up masters of the small broken station as an example. The length of their videos will be controlled to more than ten minutes, and some even reach half an hour, which is equivalent to watching half a movie.

It takes so long to watch, and the only thing that can be consumed is the user's free time.

But Douyin short videos are different. The length of more than ten seconds directly condenses the most essential part, and can fully utilize the fragmented time of daily life.

For example, a few minutes of squatting.

It is not ruled out that there are constipation, but most people can get it done in a few minutes.

What can you do with a few minutes?

Read novels?

Watch movies?

Play games?

None of them is the best solution.

Because these all require time to be substituted, at least half an hour or more is suitable for these pastimes.

So in a few minutes, in a limited time, most people will choose to watch QQ, WeChat or Weibo, and brush the information and it will pass. Douyin grabs this part of time.

As Lin Xiaolong slid up the screen according to the prompt, the next video was a landscape type, which was the work of He Pan, a famous photographer in Longguo, and the shooting location was Erhai Lake in southern Yunnan.

The lake water is clear and the waves are rippling. Under the sunshine, the lake surface is shining with golden light, like millions of diamonds scattered in it.

The video was shot from the passenger seat of the car and slowed down.

Under the camera, you can not only see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, but also the rolling Cangshan Mountain in the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting. The willow trees by the lake are also swaying gently, as if telling every tourist an ancient story.

Lin Xiaolong was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery and light music. The video only took 15 seconds to present the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain in front of him.

He could feel the tranquility and harmony of nature across the screen, as if he was isolated from the world and forgot the hustle and bustle and troubles of the world.

What is the next video?

Lin Xiaolong was very curious.

He had forgotten that he was still live streaming.

Due to the three-time loop playback, the built-in algorithm of Douyin has automatically identified the user's preferences, and used the big data support provided by Chen Xing to find the video with the corresponding tag in the content library and show it to Lin Xiaolong.

As he swiped up again, what came into view was Kanas in the territory.

(Nothing can stop you)

(Your yearning for freedom)

(A life full of imagination)

(Your heart is free of worries)

Xu Wei's vicissitudes of voice in "Blue Lotus", coupled with the slowly rising drone shooting pictures, the sapphire-like Kanas Lake appeared in front of everyone.

Shocking.

Beautiful scenery plus music.

The emperor-level enjoyment that has never been tried before!

Ben Lin continued to scroll up, and this time Douyin pushed him a video of beautiful women.

Ben Lin simply watched for seven or eight seconds and switched to the next video.

Douyin did not continue to push scenery, but changed to other types of videos, such as handsome men with abdominal muscles, fitness guides and other content to continue to confirm the user's preferences.

After pushing ten short videos in a row, Lin Xiaolong's taste has been identified, and he tends to love traveling and beautiful women.

In the subsequent videos, the priority of pushing scenery videos became higher, almost one in every two, not including domestic scenery, but also foreign scenery.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the fascinated Lin Xiaolong and sent bullet screen reminders.

"Brother Long, hey, Brother Long wake up, you are still live streaming!"

"What is a short video on Douyin? How come I am also fascinated by it? The music matches the scenery. Are you going to kill me, my friend?"

"Resign! I want to resign!"

"At the beginning, I still watch "Blue Lotus" on 318. I won't say anything. Whoever falls in love with this class will join. I am going to Tibet to find poetry and the distance!"

"What an interesting software. I will download one to see."

Perhaps Lin Xiaolong didn't think that he was watching short videos and half an hour passed quietly. He was directly trapped.

When he put down his phone, he was surprised and said, "No, what's going on? How come it's almost five o'clock in the evening? Who accelerated my time?"

It would be better if he didn't speak. Once he spoke, tens of thousands of barrages were quickly refreshed.

"You have been watching videos for more than half an hour, Brother Long, you are not really trapped, right?"

"Does this short video have such great magic?"

"Brother, please watch another video. I beg you. If I don't watch the next video, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. Please, watch another video."

Lin Xiaolong: "..."

Looking at the content of the live broadcast room, he was completely silent.

He was obviously reviewing mobile phones, but half an hour of his time was stolen by an application for no reason. Who can he go to for justice?

The most important thing now is that he still wants to continue watching videos.

Just as the audience in the live broadcast room said, he seemed to watch Douyin again. Now that he stopped, he felt like ants were crawling, uncomfortable all over, and his soul was about to be hooked away.

However, what Lin Xiaolong didn't know was that his live broadcast directly brought hundreds of thousands of traffic to Douyin short videos.

...

On the other side.

The capital of Dragon Country.

ByteDance headquarters building.

Zhang Ming didn't expect that with the arrival of the four new flagships of Longxing Group, the number of registered users of his own software would increase exponentially.

"How many people have registered now?"

He asked.

The employee in charge of data control immediately retrieved the data and replied excitedly: "The number of users has officially exceeded 1 million!"

"Good!"

Zhang Ming clenched his fists and said excitedly: "1 million users, continue to spend money to move YouTube's high-quality video content, and the department responsible for connecting with bloggers should increase the efforts to recruit people and let them come to Douyin to create."

"Understood!"

The employee in charge of connection responded quickly.

Since getting Chen Xing's investment, Zhang Ming has been enriching the video content of Douyin's content library.

Because bloggers are scarce, he contacted YouTube creators and directly spent money to get the authorization of the video to fill in the content library.

There are other well-known domestic bloggers and related up masters, and he hired them to join the platform regardless of cost.

The current Douyin is not the Douyin platform he expected.

In his description with Chen Xing at the beginning, Douyin is a profit model in which thousands of creators spontaneously create high-quality videos to attract advertisers to invest.

In order to realize this idea, Zhang Ming also created a star map platform that allows advertisers to select high-quality Douyin bloggers.

But now, most of the videos are actually made by Douyin itself, and creators have not yet settled in on a large scale.

In addition to the domestic version, Douyin also has an overseas version, called TikTok, which is also built into the motherboard chip of Longxing Group's new flagship, and the video content is also processed by ByteDance's optimization department.

While Zhang Ming was still fantasizing about his strategic blueprint, Fang Sizhe, the marketing manager of Bilibili's headquarters building far away in Shanghai, keenly noticed the changes in hot searches and was the first to learn about the advent of "Douyin short video".

Because he was using the Brilliant X1, he easily found Douyin in the built-in app store and completed the download.

When he clicked on Douyin short video with a critical attitude.

One video.

Five videos.

Ten videos.

Can't stop at all!

After ten videos, his taste was basically figured out, and the videos pushed were all content that echoed his taste.

Unconsciously, it was time to get off work at six o'clock. Other colleagues passed by the door of his office and left with a smile. He realized that he had been scrolling for almost an hour without realizing it.

"It's over!"

"Our competitor has appeared!"

Fang Sizhe made a comment.

Currently, among the video content platforms in Longguo, Bilibili is the leader.

The mode in which creators create videos and earn revenue according to the number of views is something that other niche platforms cannot imitate at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only one that dominates the market.

But as Fang Sizhe browsed Douyin's creation plan, he realized how ruthless the opponent's moves were. 10 views only cost one dollar. If there are millions of views, wouldn't it be 100,000 yuan?

This spending power is unprecedented!

Fang Sizhe did not hesitate for a moment and chose to take the elevator to find his boss Chen Rui to report the situation.

When he came to the elevator room and pressed the elevator floor button, an elevator just came down and opened the elevator door on his floor.

"Mr. Chen?"

Fang Sizhe was a little surprised when the elevator door opened.

Chen Rui glanced at him, and after exchanging a few words with the foreign client next to him, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have work to discuss with you..." Fang Sizhe was interrupted by Chen Rui halfway through his words: "Send me email for work matters."

While speaking, he glanced at the foreign man next to him, indicating that he would accompany the client and contact him by email if there was anything.

Fang Sizhe was able to get to this position, so he was naturally not a fool, and quickly responded, "Then I'll send you an email later."

"Go."

Chen Rui waved his hand.

When the elevator door closed again, Fang Sizhe returned to his workstation.

He could have avoided working overtime, but Bilibili was brought up by him and injected with emotion, so he chose to work overtime voluntarily to finish this "crisis warning" email.

The emergence of Douyin short videos will definitely impact Bilibili. The creators of the two have the same way of making money, and he found that the former's content is more concentrated and more essential.

To be honest, he can't stand the current content of Bilibili.

Either it's the "Don't Laugh Challenge" or anime complaints. There are very few high-quality short videos about scenery, beauties, and handsome guys. They are mainly about recording life.

…

At nightfall.

"Ah~"

Fang Sizhe stretched.

After two hours of creation, he had listed the future development of Douyin and the possible threats to his company, and then clicked the email to send.

Chen Rui, who was still accompanying foreign customers and had drunk a few glasses of wine, had already forgotten him.

"Ding——"

The mobile phone on the table rang. Chen Rui picked up the phone on the table and saw that it was an email from Fang Sizhe. He didn't take it too seriously and planned to go home to deal with it.

Little did he know that his move would directly lead to Bilibili falling into a passive situation in the future and being beaten to the ground by its opponents.

At the same time.

On the other side, Berlin, Germany.

With the arrival of daylight, users who placed orders for Longxing Group's four flagships on the discount global shopping platform also received calls one after another, claiming that they had express parcels.

As a multinational group, Chen Xing has established assembly centers for Longxing's new flagship in Africa, Europe and America.

This can not only drive local employment, win the favor of senior officials of relevant countries, and enjoy relevant tax policies, but also adjust assembly capacity in real time according to sales.

If the assembly is completed in Longguo and then transported to other countries, the transportation cost will be too high, and the tariff for the whole machine will be higher.

So Chen Xing decided to set up assembly centers in Africa, America, Oceania, and Europe, and then the assembly centers would assemble and ship the products. As for Asia, Longguo is the best assembly center.

Many Germans never thought that their mobile phones would be delivered within a day after they placed the order?

Incredible!

It's incredible!

You know, even the United States, a hegemonic power, cannot deliver the goods to users within one day. It takes three days to start. This is the daily routine.

It's not just express delivery, but also takeout. You can't eat it without an hour.

However, what these German users don't know is that Chen Xing's cooperation with Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi is not just to find a partner, but to use their e-commerce resources.

Before the advent of the discount global shopping platform, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi invested a lot of manpower and material resources to lay out the express delivery industry chain around the world.

Now the deliverymen in Germany are basically high-paid people with tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course.

This is not Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi throwing money.

Instead, they calculated it based on the income situation in Germany and the concept of labor.

What is the concept of labor?

To put it bluntly.

It's still fucking money!

Just like a 100 yuan daily salary, you wish you could come and go as soon as possible, and you will not contribute a second of your own time to the boss.

But what about 500 yuan?

Still come and go as soon as possible?

If that doesn't work, then 1,000 yuan, can you treat the company as your home?

Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi used this kind of money power to make some German people who were short of money work, which was also the initial investment cost of the discount global shopping platform.

When Wang Dong's platform started a logistics company, countless peers laughed at Liu Dongzi for being stupid. He didn't choose a ready-made express company, but insisted on investing tens of billions of yuan himself. He really had too much money and had no place to spend it.

But what was the result?

It was precisely because of this logistics company that Wang Dong's platform was established.

Because Liu Dongzi and Jack Ma had experience, Chen Xing would not interfere too much in the operation of the discount global shopping platform. He only needed to look at the income and the final result.

As more and more German users received Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1, and Brilliant X2 flagship phones, they also began to spontaneously evaluate them.

Like Lin Xiaolong, they all evaluated the points promoted by Chen Xing.

Standby battery life, stacked chips, shooting pixels, flexible OLED screen, under the extremely rigorous evaluation of German users, the entry "Longxing Group flagship mobile phone actual test" also appeared on the hot search list of Twitter Germany.

Originally, the operators of Belle Group and Leading Group wanted to reduce the popularity, but looking at the number of views of spontaneous searches, they gave up.

Viewed over a million times, this is already known to everyone in a country with a population of 80 million. If they suppress the hot search, they are likely to be discovered to control the public's right to know.

Because of S1 and S2, plus the original black deal, the people in Western countries value freedom as much as life.

Even if Belle Group and Leading Group want to deal with Longxing Group again, they can only do it secretly and dare not do it openly.

As more and more German people saw that the popularity of Longxing Group's mobile phones continued to rise, they finally put their time on the international version of TikTok.

Because TikTok is an international version, it allows network access from any country.

Coupled with Zhang Ming's ability to make money, the explosive content of the international version is far beyond the reach of the domestic version. Compared with the former, the domestic version is not an exaggeration to say that the children's channel.

In just three days, TikTok's German users exceeded five million.

Not only in Germany, the wave of short videos has begun to spread around the world. Many YouTube creators and anchors are posting content on it, and the number of users is growing exponentially.

In North America, two groups of people are trading in a gap somewhere in the US border wall.

"Did you bring the stuff?"

"Yes."

"How much?"

"One million dollars."

"One million dollars, are you crazy?"

"You can take it or not. Now this is hard currency, obtained from Germany and France."

"Okay, check the goods first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired man gave him a look, and the man behind him immediately threw several oversized retro backpacks to the ground.

The man inspecting the goods squatted half-crouched and opened the zipper neatly. What was inside was not powdery or crystalline stuff, but a mobile phone box sealed in Taiwanese plastic with the word "Brilliant X2" written on it.

"Tear-"

The inspection man took out a knife, cut open the box of a mobile phone, took out the mobile phone inside and turned it on for trial use.

Immediately afterwards, he randomly checked the mobile phones in several other backpacks. After confirming that there was no problem, he motioned to lift the boxes up.

The curly-haired white man opened the box and found stacks of dollar bills inside.

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

Two waves of people drove away.

The person who got the goods was in a good mood. The red-haired woman sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck was a little confused and asked: "Boss, what are you doing with so many mobile phones? They are worth more than fans?"

The man who was driving the car looked ahead and responded with a smile: "There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that everything is rare and valuable. Do you know how much a mobile phone like this can be fetched by the rich and powerful?"

He picked up the disassembled brilliant X2, drove it with one hand and asked questions.

"How many?"

The red-haired woman was confused.

"5,000 US dollars." The man in the driver's seat did not hide anything and continued: "2,000 US dollars was smuggled from Mexico and transformed into 5,000 US dollars. What kind of flour is this?"

"What's the most important thing?" He paused for half a second, showed his big white teeth and said, "This thing will be fine even if it is detected. It's mainly for safety."

Due to restrictions imposed by the United States, Longxing Group's products cannot be exported to the United States, so the four flagship models have naturally not entered the American market.

But as the reputation of the Brilliant X2 exploded around the world, more and more wealthy Americans needed it to show their identity and gain a sense of superiority. This is where smuggling emerged.

And there are people who are responsible for cracking it so that mobile phones can be used normally in the United States, forming a complete underground industry chain.
