Chapter 58 Billionaires Gather at the Press Conference
Before the press conference was officially held, Xu Shenxue also took the time to meet with several large channel dealers. These are large offline channel dealers that own a large number of mobile phone chain stores and cannot be ignored.
In addition, I also met with people from Taotao and Jingxi who were invited... Xu Shenxue had made a special trip to discuss cooperation before, so they naturally reciprocated by sending the heads of more important business departments to attend the press conference.
Xu Shenxue attaches great importance to online channels. Zhiyun Technology has already reached an agreement with Taotao and Jingxi. At that time, it will carry out a scheduled rush sale and pre-order function for the Zhiyun C1 mobile phone, and will also give relatively substantial discounts on traffic.
They also want to take advantage of this wave of momentum to start a big wave of online purchases...
Xu Shenxue wanted to sell mobile phones, and they wanted to replace traditional offline mobile phone stores, become the largest mobile phone channel, and expand the influence of online shopping. They hit it off immediately.
Then there were representatives from various software partners and supply chain companies. Among them, the person in charge of the mobile QQ business next door came to participate in person, and according to the agreement, he would go on stage to support Zhiyun C1!
QQ Mobile also attaches great importance to the Android system channels. In order to continue to lead the mobile Internet era, they have cooperated with Zhiyun Technology to develop a customized version of YUN OS, which is specially optimized for Zhiyun Technology's three-button interaction and two-point touch interaction system.
Moreover, after Xu Shenxue's proposal, the two parties formally signed an additional cooperation agreement the day before yesterday, stipulating that mobile QQ users using Zhiyun phones can choose to hang up an exclusive online status of "Zhiyun C1 Online"...
This function requires extra money from Zhiyun Technology, and it is not cheap.
But it was not cheap, so Xu Shenxue gritted his teeth and took it, as such opportunities don't come often.
Originally, he wanted to sign an exclusive agreement with Tencent before other mobile phone manufacturers reacted, so that only Zhiyun phones could be online in the future, and other mobile phone brands would not be allowed.
But Tencent ignored him... they are not stupid!
It's good enough to give you an online status, but don't expect exclusivity.
In fact, this process also requires the matchmaking of some investment funds, otherwise the deal would not be possible.
Now a group of investment funds are chasing after Zhiyun Technology.
It's no use just chasing after them, you still have to prove your own strength!
The previous network access license, early approval of WAPI, current QQ online status, and supply chain assistance contacts are the time for them to prove their strength.
Continue talking with investment institutions that can help with these matters. Now that we have a spot on board, it is just a matter of valuation and share.
As for those who can't help, just go away... No matter if you don't have the ability or sincerity, don't expect to make money.
And today, these potential investors have all attended the press conference to witness the official launch of China's first smartphone.
With so many investment funds and partner companies gathering in Zhiyun Technology, it naturally attracted the attention of other people in the industry.
It also attracted the attention of the mobile phone industry. After hearing the news, Warwick next door sent a senior executive over uninvited. Other mobile phone manufacturers were also inquiring about the relevant information.
Even some high-tech companies in the surrounding area that have no connection with the company want to join in the fun after hearing the news... It is rare to see so many large investors gathered together, so it would be great to join in the fun by chatting with them and then attracting investment in the future.
In the end, although Zhiyun Technology's press conference was not promoted in advance, there were a lot of people attending, and most of them were industry insiders, without so-called technology enthusiasts or fans...
Originally, Zhiyun Technology had planned to arrange some employees to join in the fun to avoid the embarrassment of the press conference being too quiet. But now it is found that it is not necessary at all, and the reserved venue is not big enough and the seats are limited, so the plan to join in the fun was simply cancelled.
----
As the afternoon approached, a large number of participants arrived at Qianshan Insurance Building one after another, because there were many people who came temporarily, and many of them were senior managers in related industries or even bosses.
The property management of the Insurance Building was stunned... Damn, so many business tycoons who were rarely seen in normal days actually gathered together. They quickly mobilized and sent a large number of security personnel to cooperate with Zhiyun Technology to maintain order in the venue.
Some media personnel who were invited to attend the press conference were also stunned... They originally thought that it was just a small manufacturer launching a so-called mobile phone, and many of these media personnel came with the mentality of getting paid to do the job.
But when I looked today, I realized something was not right!
There are too many big guys coming!
Almost all of the top five investment companies in the domestic investment community came, and all of them were at the level of heads of the China region.
Then there are the executives of other large companies and bosses of small and medium-sized companies, and any one of them is the current business elite!
They even found former Kingsoft CEO and now famous investor Lei Jun mixed in the crowd.
People from the three operators are all here!
It is rare to see such a gathering of business tycoons on ordinary days, but they appeared at the new product launch conference of an emerging startup mobile phone manufacturer!
This alone is a sensational piece of news!
Some smart reporters started writing articles and taking photos with their laptops without even waiting for the press conference to start, and then transmitted them back via wireless network on the spot.
Online media with great timeliness, for example, the three major portals had already published relevant news on their homepage before Zhiyun Technology’s press conference began!
Sina even put a sensational headline on its homepage: "Why did billionaires gather at the Zhiyun press conference?"
NetEase also reported on its homepage: "Breaking news: Zhiyun Technology held a press conference to release China's first smartphone!"
Tencent, which has a lot of cooperation with us, reported more and even made a small special topic: "Zhiyun Technology breaks the foreign monopoly and releases the first Chinese smartphone!"
Why are the news on these three major portals so timely, and the headlines are so exaggerated? They appear directly on the homepage? There are even small special reports?
Why else? Of course it’s because Zhiyun Technology spent money... and a lot of it!
Before the press conference officially started, the marketing team led by Ji Chenghe launched a massive publicity campaign!
April 09, 2, exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.
People attending the Zhiyun mobile phone launch conference entered the venue one after another under the guidance of staff.
As more and more people entered the venue, it became somewhat noisy. Many people took the opportunity to walk around, hand out business cards, and chat before the press conference began.
Some corporate executives or business tycoons who know each other or are interested in getting to know each other sit together and talk.
In such an occasion with the participation of many people from the industry and investment circles, countless business opportunities are brewing to a certain extent... For example, several bigwigs in the investment community are here. If a high-tech company needs financing and this company happens to catch their attention, it is possible that a financing case will be promoted.
