"As Apple's core business, the iPhone has finally ushered in the most terrifying strong opponent. Under the all-round suppression of performance and price of 'S-1', the iPhone can hardly breathe, and Apple will be on the verge of the most severe situation since the post-Jobs era. Crisis!" - The Wall Street Journal
After the press conference, the news here spread rapidly around the world, and major newspapers reported that the news of XlouS almost occupied the front page headlines of the world's media in a single day.
The "S-1" wearable smartphone device, like the iPhone in 2007, dazzled the world.
The era of hand control has entered the era of voice control, which has an impact no less than the birth of the smartphone. This is a moment that changes the world.
XlouS Corporation brought the wearable smartphone device 'S-1' to the world with an unparalleled attitude, and the smartphone industry was shaken. For this newcomer's entry, the whole world was unexpected, but from now on, no one Dare to underestimate or even fear to the point of no resistance.
At a time when the smartphone industry is shaking, the field of artificial intelligence is not calm at this moment. The emergence of the voice assistant "Xiaoyou" has exploded the entire AI field. Especially in Europe and the United States, they have always believed that they are leading the world in the field of AI, especially the Alphabet umbrella company, and they are proud that they are unmatched in this field. AlphaGo and Boston Dynamics machinery companies made Alphabet famous in the world a few years ago.
But at this moment, a Chinese company suddenly gave birth to such excellent AI technology, Xiaoyou's intelligence, Ren Hong's interaction at the press conference has already begun to take shape. Now, except for the Chinese company XlouS, no one in the world has been able to do so well in the field of artificial intelligence, at least not yet launched a product that users are willing to pay for.
It is worth mentioning that, that is, after the press conference, during the opening of the stock market the next day, Apple's stock price fell, down 11.6% on the day. Since the video was released, Apple's stock price has risen. It hasn't been stable until today's plunge. From the release of that video to the present, Apple's market value of more than $150 billion has been evaporated. The Alphabet umbrella company took the opportunity to rise to become the world's second-largest listed company by market value, stepping on Apple for the second time, but this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Apple.
Obviously, even an ordinary person knows that the iPhone is powerless in the face of the "S-1", the price of $ 1199 is almost equal to the iPhone, but the performance is ten times better, and the two sides don't even need to The competition can yield one-sided results.
What followed was the shock of Apple's stock. Smartphones, as Apple's core business, are now facing an irresistible opponent. People are pessimistic about it. Today's plunge in the stock price is the best. Performance.
The difference is that the only offline direct-sale store of "S-1" opened at XlouS headquarters is a different scene. At the press conference, after Ren Hong announced the news, some people have already started to run here. Users in Wanning City are close to the water, but they are still not the first batch of buyers. Shortly after the press conference, I learned that the only offline direct-sale store was about to open for sale the next day. There were many real local tyrants who came here. They started queuing at the gate of the direct-sale store early. Points of sale will appear, but now it's even more so.
"Fuck! No!" The next day, Pan Ce, who happened to be traveling in Wanning City, came to Nanqiao Town. His purpose was very clear. He wanted "S-1". Hainan vacation.
However, when he came to the directly-operated store at XlouS headquarters, the tragic discovery had long been lined up.
Pan Ce is furious, when will this Nima be lined up? As soon as he thought that more and more people were coming here, he quickly became a member of the long dragon. Sure enough, the fresh faces here are all for "S-1".
"It's crazy, it's only 6 o'clock, I thought... ugh!"
"No way, 'S-1' makes me have no resistance, this brick can be used as a family heirloom in the future!" A buddy in front of him waved his iPhone 7S-plus and said.
"That's right! The iPhone is really weak compared to the 'S-1'. I've already thought of giving Xiaoyou a special name, it's Nicole! Hehe." Pan Ce said, look In less than a few minutes, there were dozens more people behind him. At this moment, he was glad that he was not too late.
The queuing scene here was quickly photographed by reporters and reported on the Internet. The popularity of the "S-1" has already begun to show, and people who don't know think it is Apple's new product launch. Users who are not in Wanning can only wait for the official website to open to order online.
Waiting is undoubtedly the most boring, but the people in line here are very happy to know that almost all of the people who come to line up here are iPhone users. Obviously, if Cook knows, I don't know how it will feel. .
When the time came to 10:00, the closed door of the directly-operated store finally opened. The staff was startled, and he was ready to hold a loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone calm down, line up in order, everyone Rest assured, the stock of 'S-1' is very sufficient, and it will not be out of stock here, no stampede!"
"Stop talking nonsense! The shipment is on sale soon, and I have to catch the afternoon flight back to Shanghai!" shouted the person at the back.
The staff was sweating. There were so many people that the line was endless. More than 30 staff were working intensively, pushing the closed hardcover boxes to the sales counter of the direct sales point.
"Give me 10 sets, thank you!" The fat dun'er brother who was in the first row said rudely, while answering the phone, saying: "Ah? Got it, no problem, don't worry, add 5 more. Taiwan? OK!" Immediately, he said to the salesman, "Give me 5 more! Thank you!"
"No problem, sir, swipe your card and go to the side to pick up the device!" said the young female staff member with a professional smile.
If it weren't for the guarantee from the company headquarters and the staff in front, this guy would order 15 units by himself, and the people in the back would never be able to bear it.
At the same time as the hot sales in offline direct-sale stores, the official website also opened the order simultaneously, and transaction orders were generated one by one. In the era of online shopping, few people will not place orders.
The warehouse area is also busy.
"The total distribution agent in the California area orders 1 million units!"
"Wisconsin 500,000"
"Order 300,000 in Germany!"
"France 650,000!"
"UK 700,000"
“600,000 in Guangdong!”
"Shanghai 800,000!"
"1.2 million in North China"
......
After the press conference, dealers from all over the world called the headquarters and started to place orders. Obviously, Ren Hong was reluctant to open a direct store offline, but some people would buy in bulk, that is, the agency dealers in various places. , "S-1" has a huge consumer market even with a premium of $200. The performance of "S-1" is still too low for its price. Ren Hong is not willing to make this money, it does not mean that others are not willing, at least During this time, it is very marketable.
