A certain forum...
“Does any brother buy a Pangu smartphone?”
"We are still waiting and watching, and we will wait for the online review to come out,"
"There are so many 200,000 units. Let's wait and see in a few days."
"Are there so many rich people in China? I just wanted to place an order for the desktop version, but I didn't expect it was out of stock when I clicked on it."
"The top-end version only costs over 2,000 yuan, so there are still many people who can afford it."
"The brother in my dormitory just wanted to place an order to buy ten units, but each person could only buy one. When he went to place an order again, the system said that it was sold out. I laughed to death╯?╰."
"Fuck, that brother in your dormitory is too rich."
"There are only 20,000 units left on Double 128, and they will probably be sold out in a while."
"It seems that we still underestimate the rich people in China."
"Holy shit, luckily I placed the order quickly and there are only 8,000 units left on Double 128."

"Zhoucao, crazy, really crazy, 200,000 mobile phones were sold out in half an hour."
"Your situation is really small. China has a population of 1.3 billion, of which at least 100 million have a monthly income of more than 2,000 yuan.
If you spread out these 200,000 mobile phones, only 500 people can get one on average. Do you still think it’s a lot?”
"But even if we sell it in an offline physical store, we can't sell that much in half an hour."
"The offline transaction process is complicated, and naturally it is impossible to do so much. Online transactions can be solved with just two clicks of the keyboard and mouse."
“It seems it’s more convenient to buy things online.”
"I think it will be more convenient when Kirin Taobao's logistics center is completed."
"I rarely go out to buy things now because Kirin Taobao is so convenient."
...
Kirin Taobao President Office.
"It's done." Lao Ma showed a satisfied smile.
Then he picked up the phone from the table, and after selecting the correct number, he pressed the dial button.
"Du~"
The phone just rang once and was answered by the other party.
"Mr. Ma, congratulations, congratulations."
"Mr. Xu, we are happy together, we are happy together."
"Mr. Ma, according to our agreement, 50% of the future volume will be handed over to your Qilin Taobao."
"Then I'll thank Mr. Xu here."
"Mr. Ma, it's just mutual benefit."
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Xu's rest."
After Lao Ma finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Kirin Taobao makes an average profit of 180 yuan from Bird, and 200,000 units is a profit of 36 million yuan.
After deducting 7,788 fees, Kirin Taobao can still earn about 30 million yuan.
Lao Ma feels that if this path continues, it will definitely become a new profit point in the future.
But is this path really feasible?
If Cao Mang was asked to answer, his answer would definitely be no.
If this model is really good, and people can do it themselves in the future, why should they give you the money?
In fact, Lao Ma's path has gone astray, but Cao Mang will not tell him. He still has to explore business matters by himself.

Lighthouse country time on September 10, 2004.
Intel headquarters.
President Craig Barrett, he is the fourth generation CEO of Intel.
He was the loyal COO of Grove, the third president, and Craig Barrett became the fourth CEO.
At this time, the Internet and mobile phones began to become popular in society. Barrett attempted to transform from a PC processor company to a mobile phone and Internet-related company by acquiring a number of companies.
However, it is said that almost none of the executives of the acquired companies could integrate into the "Intel culture" created by Grove and resigned early.
In addition, Intel was in chaos within the company.
It was supposed to take another year.
Craig Barre will step down, but the emergence of Qilin changes history.
Kirin gave Craig Barre hope again and made him feel that his strategy was very correct.
So Craig Barre called a board meeting.
Craig Barre put his hands on the table and said to many directors: "I believe you have read the report in your hand. China's Kirin Semiconductor has proved my point.
The mobile platform will be a huge market in the future. If the company wants to grow and continue, it must allocate resources to the mobile platform department, otherwise the company will lose a future."
I have to say that Intel’s think tank is very awesome.
They made a model based on Kirin Group's existing products and layout, plus existing market data.
They used this model to make an estimate of the future market and calculated a very attractive figure.
In the next fifteen years, the mobile platform market will surpass the entire PC market in one fell swoop.
And as the mobile platform market surpasses the PC market, the mobile platform market will in turn engulf the PC market.
The PC market will definitely show a negative growth trend in the future, and Intel is likely to decline as a result.
All this analysis is written in this report.
At this time, Intel's directors were also deep in thought.
They are now wondering whether this report is alarmist or whether it will actually come true.
"Even if Intel wants to build a mobile platform, it must have an ally. After all, Intel's strength is semiconductors, and software is not our strength." Anthony Serra said.
Anthony Serra represents Blackstone Capital.
"Mr. Anthony, I have already found this shareholder, and I have negotiated with Mr. Bill Gates this morning." Craig Barre replied.
"Why don't we work with the Symbian Alliance?" Carl Rhodes asked.
Carl Rhodes is a representative of the Childe Rhodes family.
"Because Intel doesn't need losers as allies, and it's not like you haven't seen the garbage they create.
It took the Chinese people less than a year to drive them out of the Chinese market, and cooperation with losers will only continue to fail," Craig Barre replied.
A smartphone sounds fancy, but in fact it is essentially a mobile computer, which is nothing more than a computer inserted into a mobile phone.
Intel is at least decades ahead of them in the computer field, and to Intel they are just outsiders.
Why should insiders cooperate with outsiders?
Why should we share the meat with them?
Let’s talk about allies.
Microsoft has always been a seamless ally of Intel, and it has also made certain achievements on the mobile platform.
Wouldn’t it be great to have Intel and Microsoft working together?
We sell CPUs and Microsoft sells software. If we don't mess with each other, wouldn't it be nice to make money together?
"If everyone has no objections, then let's have a vote." Craig Barre said with a smile.
...
Cao Mang, who is far away in China, has just finished comforting the little cutie from Wanwan.
He didn't know that the butterfly effect caused by his appearance had provoked such a powerful enemy.
"Brother Cao, can you stay with me tonight?" Chen Yihan lay on Cao Mang's chest and said coquettishly.
"Are you not full yet?" Cao Mang asked with a smile.
