Chapter 208 Star-Chasing Swifty

Android 1.0 has a virtual machine and is incompatible with previous versions of applications. Honor will not upgrade the operating system because this will sacrifice the smoothness and stability of Honor G1.

It can be said that since Android 1.0, the experience of Apple's iOS system has gradually surpassed that of Google's Android. This is a curve. At the beginning, IOS surpassed Android. By around 2014, as the performance of mobile phone hardware soared, Android overtook IOS. Of course, this It’s not about the domestically castrated version and application ecology.

Qu Li, who was very worried, didn't have many choices. He pre-heated half a month in advance. Honor and Marvel reached a strategic cooperation. "Iron Man" and Robert Downey Jr. jointly endorsed the Honor G2 mobile phone, and also discussed "Iron Man 2". 》 reached an agreement on advertising placement and joint marketing.The specific price has not been announced, but it must be in the tens of millions of dollars.

Disney ABC was selected for TV and print media advertising. At the same time, corporate accounts were opened on Facebook and Twitter, Yahoo display ads were purchased, including keyword ads donated by Google, and the entire network was promoted.

On November 11, Honor, T-mobile and Google jointly held a press conference and officially announced that the WCDMA standard Honor G11 mobile phone will be sold in T-mobile, Best Buy stores and Shopee.

As expected, the wealthy advertising campaign blocked many negative reviews. Once Honor G2 was released, 100 million mobile phones were sold in one week.With the annual Black Friday approaching, the sales of Honor G2 are still rising steadily.

"The overseas sales of the 2G version of Honor G1 have basically stagnated, and the sales of the 3G version of G1 in North America have declined severely..."

"How many phones have been sold by Honor G1?"

“As of October, Honor’s global sales exceeded 10 million units?”

"How much?" Qu Li thought he heard wrongly

"800 million units." Zhou Shaoning said again

"How come, we almost only sell through carrier channels..."

"If we open up offline channels, this number can be increased to at least 200 million units. After Apple's IPhone released its 6G mobile phone in June, sales also exploded..."

"is it?"

"Apple iPhone shipped 450 million units worldwide in the third quarter."

"..." Qu Li once again clearly realized that the era of smartphones has finally arrived.

"Then how many Honor G1s have we produced?"

"The 2G version is 300 million units, and the 3G version is 700 million units." Zhou Shaoning remembered that Qu Liming had read it and signed it, but now he doesn't remember it.

"Can you sell it?"

"G1 and G2 may not be very competitive, but they have the same positioning and are cheaper. The last batch of 1G versions of G3 were bought by SoftBank, and we only have a small amount of spare machines and parts left for repair and replacement. 2G The remaining 30 units of the version are sold in China...

If you didn't insist on full touch screen, we should be able to sell some more. "

"There is no need to discuss this. The superiority of the touch screen is irreplaceable." Qu Li was not sure about other things, but this was very clear and he would never make a mistake.

One million units were sold in a week, and at the height of the subprime mortgage crisis, Honor G100 broke the brand barriers with its superb appearance. In a survey launched by Facebook, it was successfully selected as the preferred brand and model for teenagers to replace their phones.

With super good looks and good user experience, Android, iOS, Nokia Symbian, and Microsoft Windows Phone are almost two species, bringing a huge impact to the entire smartphone market.

Qu Li accepted an interview with the American media, participated in the "Chicken Feather Show" to promote Honor mobile phones, and started a messy chat.

The host did not follow the chronological order and interrupted the questions, as if he was afraid that he would not get the best effect if he had already thought of the answers.Fortunately, Qu Li is a veteran and shameless person. He often pretends to be stupid and doesn't understand what the host is saying.

But after the whole show, he was still asked about some big and small things.From Qu Li's experience in working to starting his own business, because he didn't want to be a timid and honest person and wanted to get more people's attention, he adopted a killer look in 2004.

The most important thing of course is to introduce the founding process of Honor: "I wanted to show off my business talents, so I started by challenging some of the most well-known foreign companies in China. However, I couldn't get recognition in China, so I had to spread my ideas. To the United States..."

"Then you gained many supporters in the United States?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to sit in front of you."

"Comet" is indispensable in the program. Many people have watched this brain-burning science fiction film. The idea of ​​"Source Code" came from Qu Li. The two soundtracks of "Red Cliff" were widely disseminated in Europe and the United States through YouTube, with an astonishing number of clicks.

"I heard that you have composed several Chinese songs. Are there any English songs?"

"Can I have this?"

"Of course, you really do?"

"I like a female singer in the United States very much. I originally wanted to ask her to write a song for Honor, but after she learned about my experience, she encouraged me to write an English song. With her help, I wrote "StarWalkin" .”

"Sing for us?"

"It still doesn't work. I can't sing well and make people laugh easily."

"No one here will laugh at you, I promise not to let you see..."

"..."

Unable to resist, Qu Li finally succumbed to the host's power:

Don'teversayit'soverifI'mbreathing

Running all the way, speeding up, chasing the moonlight

RacingtothemoonlightandI'mspeeding

Flying to the silver sea, my ambition is far away

The theme song of the 22nd League of Legends Finals "Chasing the Stars" is presented

"Who helped you compose this song?"

"Taylor Swift"

"You wrote this song?"

"What do you say?"

On the same day that Honor G2 was released, Taylor Swift's new album "Fearless" was released, including "Chasing the Stars". Taylor Swift and Robert Downey Jr. became Honor brand spokespersons, with endorsement fees of US$500 million per year. years, with the right to unconditionally renew until the fifth year.

霉霉的《Fearless》专辑发行首周以60万张的销量成绩登上公告牌200强专辑榜冠军，在该榜单的上榜时间超过一年。在世界各地拥有超过1000万张的唱片销售纪录，米国销量为660万张，在2010年荣获第52届格莱美奖的“年度最佳专辑”和“最佳乡村专辑”两座音乐大奖。

Of course Qu Li didn’t know about the glory of “Fearless”, but he knew that Swift was a very good female singer in the United States, so he was once again lucky enough to ride on Swift’s coattails.

"StarWalkin" is Honor's brand promotion song, and it also promotes the "Fearless" album. It's hard to say who succeeds the other.But it is true that Qu Li was obsessed with Swift. This girl born in 89 is full of curiosity about Qu Li, a boy from a foreign country, and wonders how he designed the Honor G2.

What man doesn't brag?Qu Li was no exception. After chasing each other, the two of them ended up in a room with a bed. I wonder if his strong fighting ability will be written into the song by Swift. This girl seems to have this bad habit all the time.
