Chapter 300 Joint Promotion
On April 6, Nebula X1 officially announced a joint promotion with Tencent QQ and WeChat.
The official blogs of Morning Light Media, Star Technology, and Tencent simultaneously released a joint statement.
The title is simple and direct: "Nebula X1 joins hands with Tencent QQ and WeChat to usher in a new era of video calls."
The statement announced several things:
First, the Nebula X1 will come pre-installed with Tencent QQ and WeChat at the system level, and users will be encouraged to register and experience the video call function during the initial boot-up process.
Secondly, the latest versions of QQ and WeChat fully support video calls, and Nebula X1 users can be the first to experience this.
Third, both parties jointly launched the "Video Call Experience Officer" program.
From now until May 31, users who purchase the Nebula X1 and register to experience the video call function will receive a free three-month QQ membership.
Fourth, the Nebula X1 brand will be simultaneously featured on the splash screens, chat interfaces, official blogs, and client pop-ups of QQ and WeChat.
Less than an hour after the news was released, the comment section exploded.
"Holy crap! Dawn and Tencent have teamed up!"
"The front-facing camera on the Nebula X1 is finally useful! I used to think 300,000 pixels was a bit of a gimmick, but now I can make video calls directly, it's amazing!"
"The video call feature is so useful!"
My girlfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship, and every time we talk on the phone, it just doesn't feel right. With video calls, I can finally see her face!
"Tencent is awesome! Nebula X1 is awesome!"
"I just bought the Nebula X1. I was a little hesitant about returning it and getting a Meizu M8 in return, but now I'm not! Waiting for QQ and WeChat to update!"
On Meizu's user forum, someone forwarded this news.
The post is titled "Nebula X1 and Tencent have reached a cooperation agreement, and the front camera now supports QQ and WeChat video calls."
The comment section was filled with lamentations.
"The Meizu M8 doesn't have a front-facing camera..."
"I bought the M8 because I didn't want to wait for the Nebula X1's pre-order, and now I regret it so much."
"Could Meizu also add a front-facing camera?"
"Didn't Mr. Huang say that mobile phones aren't works of art?"
As a result, their phones could make video calls, while ours could only make calls and send text messages.
That hurts.
When a reporter called Meizu's public relations department to ask for their opinion on the matter, the department's response consisted of only eight words.
"No comment, focus on the product."
On April 18, the new version of QQ and WeChat were officially launched.
The first users to experience video calls began sharing their experiences on forums and blogs.
"The video call quality is better than I expected. Although it's only 300,000 pixels, it's perfectly adequate for a mobile phone screen."
The key is smoothness; I'm using a 3G network and there's almost no lag.
But there's one drawback: it uses a lot of data. I need Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi!
"The significance of the front-facing camera has finally been realized."
Did the product manager of Nebula X1 plan this step long ago?
It's terrifying to think about.
On April 20, sales of the Nebula X1 reached a second peak.
The two newly added production lines have just started production, and the fifth production line has been urgently put on the agenda.
Liu Siyuan's voice trembled as he reported the data to Fu Yibai over the phone.
"Mr. Fu, from April 10th to 20th, the total sales of Nebula X1 across all channels exceeded 4 units."
85% of the pre-orders have been shipped, and user feedback after receiving the actual devices has been even better than we expected.
Especially after the video call feature was launched, the conversion rate of e-commerce platforms doubled.
"What about the production line?"
"The third and fourth production lines have been put into operation, increasing the daily production capacity to 20,000 units."
The equipment for the fifth production line is being procured and is expected to be put into operation in late May.
Based on the current order growth trend, May's monthly sales are expected to exceed 200,000 units.
Keep it up.
Especially after-sales service; the faster sales increase, the greater the pressure on after-sales service.
Don't let users feel that we only sell and don't care.
"clear."
"Yes, the development of the next generation of mobile phones can also be put on the agenda."
We cannot catch up with foreign countries in chip research and development in the short term.
I'll figure out a solution; for now, we'll continue using Qualcomm.
However, I need you to increase your R&D efforts on other hardware components so that we can catch up with or even surpass foreign countries as soon as possible.
If you don't have enough R&D funding, feel free to apply to me anytime.
Morning Light Group currently has ample cash flow.
"Yes! I will immediately have Engineer Yang lead the team to start the research and development of the next generation of mobile phones."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yibai stood up and walked to the French windows.
The afternoon sun in April streamed in, warming me comfortably.
The Beijing sky outside the window was unusually blue, with a few white clouds lazily hanging on the horizon.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
He took it out and glanced at it; it was a message from Zhao Qi.
"Mr. Fu, the first draft of the equity incentive plan is ready. Mr. Lin asked me to ask when would be a convenient time for you to review it?"
Fu Yibai typed back: "Tomorrow morning."
Zhao Qi replied instantly: "Okay."
He put his phone back in his pocket, turned around, and walked back to his desk.
On the table lay the sales data for Nebula X1 in April, sent by Liu Siyuan this morning. The densely packed numbers were laid out on the paper, like an army gathering.
There was another piece of news that caught his attention.
While Huang Zhang's blog has been shut down, Meizu's offline channels have started offering price reductions and promotions, with the 8GB version of the M8 dropping from the original price of 2380 yuan to 1999 yuan.
In addition, according to supply chain sources, Meizu is already in talks with Samsung about purchasing the next-generation processor, and is also assessing the feasibility of switching to the Android system.
