Chapter 120 – Who Buys Xiaomi?

Shuddering, the middle-aged executive stammered, “...”

“Chief Lei.”

“Right! C-Chief Lei! He... He seems to be above us...”

In response to his three executives’ words, Lei Jun lowered his head and squinted his eyes, uncertainty appearing on his face.

“Chief Lei, let’s notify the government,” the technical director said, unconsciously suppressing his tone. “You are a director of Bilibili. Didn’t the person in charge of that department leave you his contact method?”

“That won’t be necessary.” Picking up his vibrating phone, Lei Jun said, “They’re calling me already.”

“Hu...”

Taking in a deep breath, Lei Jun put on a stern look as he instructed, “All of you, head on out. Notify my assistants next door and head downstairs to make the necessary preparations. Evacuate all staff members in the park. Aside from Building No. 5, cut off the water and power supply for the other buildings. Disperse the surrounding traffic as well. Evacuate all vehicles that can be driven away, especially the plaza area. It must be emptied out! Quick!”

“Yes, sir!”

After seeing off his three colleagues, Lei Jun shut the meeting room’s doors and connected the call. “Hello, it’s me, Lei Jun.”

“Chief Lei, I am the special situation team’s leader,” a hoarse voice came from the other end of the call. “Have you been made aware of the situation?”

“Yes, I was just about to contact you on that. What do we need to do?”

“Evacuate all employees, cut off all water, power, and gas supplies, and clear out the surrounding roads.”

“We are currently doing all these things already.”

“Thank you very much for your cooperation, Chief Lei. Please wait for me at the park’s southern entrance and pay attention to your safety. I will arrive in 15 minutes.”

“Very well.”

“Lastly, and this is important, make sure none of your employees approach Transdimensional Review’s UP. Keep them as far away as possible! Also, do not try to probe or film him. Avoid letting any emergency situations from occurring.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun dashed out of the office and started evacuating downstairs with his slightly flustered employees.

“Don’t squeeze! Let our female colleagues go first!”

While doing his best to keep his facial expressions under check, Lei Jun politely shouted, “Don’t take the elevator if there are too many people! Take the stairs if possible!”

“Chief Lei.” A neatly dressed male assistant approached Lei Jun and reported, “We’ve made the announcement already.”

“While the other buildings still have their power, repeat the announcement a few more times. Afterward, send some people to check the restrooms of every floor. Not one person can be left behind.”

“Yes, sir.”

...

Despite the chaos Xiaomi’s technology park had fallen into, Chen Yu, who stood atop Building No. 5, appeared unusually calm.

He had spent a full three minutes showcasing the smartphone’s packaging, afraid that his audience couldn’t see it clearly. He had also paid extra care to showcase the box’s logo.

“As this is an additional review, it is inconvenient for me to mention the product’s brand, but I’m sure everyone can see it clearly, right? In the year 2020, I’m sure there should be very few people within the country who do not know this brand.

“Meanwhile, this smartphone model will be produced by this brand three years later, and its full name is called—the Flexible Dual-Screen Foldable Smartphone. Now, let’s begin unboxing it.”

After saying so, Chen Yu tore open the transparent packaging film and removed the box’s lid. Mimicking the unboxing style used by other Bilibili UPs, he first displayed the instruction manual, earphones, earphone accessories, charging cable, and charger. Finally, he picked up the dual-screen smartphone sitting in the middle of the cardboard box.

“Can everyone see it? There are 6.2-inch screens located on both the front and back of the phone. There is also a flexible screen serving as the joint. Combined with the joint screen, when fully expanded, the phone will have a massive 14-inch screen.

“Now that I am holding the actual product, I can say with certainty that this smartphone is really thick.”

[Crap! It’s actually Xiaomi?!]

[See? My guess before was correct, yet nobody believed me.]

[It’s set in stone! Xiaomi definitely has some kind of relationship with the UP! Arrest him quickly!]

[There’s going to be such a fantastic smartphone three years later?]

[How much did Xiaomi pay you? Orange will pay double.]

[XO will pay fourfold!]

[Whisper will pay eightfold!]

[Huawei: sixteenfold.]

[I’m an employee of Xiaomi’s park. Management is currently having us evacuate. Many colleagues that don’t know of Transdimensional Review are thinking that we have a fire drill, lolol.]

[I’m here as well. I heard that the UP is in Building No. 5. I really want to go see him.]

[I wish you two heroes good luck.]

[After posting these bullet comments, you’ll be receiving an invitation from the government for tea.]

[Good luck.]

[Good luck. +1]

In front of his 300,000 viewers, Chen Yu removed the circular plastic film that wound around the phone and carefully unfolded it.

Click.

With a crisp sound, the smartphone immediately extended into a tablet.

The flexible screen in the middle felt elastic to the touch, and it seamlessly connected the two main screens. No cracks or bumps could be felt across the joint. The 14-inch screen looked no different than a mirror.

“This is...quite stunning.”

Facing the camera, Chen Yu played around with the phone for half a minute. “This should be a concept phone produced in a laboratory. It is definitely impossible for the civilian industry to have developed to a point where it can mass-produce smartphones of this caliber.”

Chen Yu pressed down on the power button located on the right side of the screen after saying so.

“I suddenly discovered an ergonomic design flaw. While in tablet mode, the power and sound buttons are located on the right. When folded into a mobile phone form, the buttons will move to the left. Operating these buttons wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience. That’s the case for me, at least.”

While Chen Yu briefly introduced the phone, the black mirror-like screen suddenly lit up. After an orange logo momentarily appeared on the screen, the activation interface appeared.

“According to the phone specifications stated on the instructions, this phone is running on a Snapdragon 875+ processor, a 20+1T memory combination, a built-in TVOC gas sensor, and 6,200 mAh nano-silicon battery. I heard that this type of battery is already being used on a small scale. The camera is a 48MP under-screen camera, and it is definitely capable of capturing every pore on your face. Lastly, the screen’s resolution... Sorry, I forgot what it was.

“I’m not going to flip through the instructions again either, as I’m sure this isn’t what everyone wants to know. Time is of the essence. Let’s head straight to the next agenda—actual operation!”

After quickly completing the phone’s start-up process, he merged the two screens with a “pop.”

The application icons that were initially evenly spread across the 14-inch screen promptly split between the front and rear screens. Simultaneously, touch screen buttons for locking, shutting down, and adjusting the volume of the phone appeared on the joint screen.

When Chen Yu tentatively swiped his finger across the front screen, he found that the rear screen was linked and reacting along.

“Mhm... Looking at it now, this phone is indeed remarkable. There is no distinction between the front and rear screens. Both screens can be considered the front screen, and both can be regarded as the rear screen. It is entirely dependent on which side is facing up when you pick up the phone! There will no longer be a concept of front and rear.

“I also have to retract my ergonomic design flaw comment. I noticed that the joint screen also has a series of virtual buttons meant to substitute their physical counterparts. With this, regardless of whether you are using this device in mobile phone mode or tablet mode, there will always be power and volume buttons on the right side. I give this design a perfect score.”

[How cool...]

[Are you sure this is a smartphone from three years into the future?]

[Are times developing so quickly?]

[My Mi 2 can still fight for another three years!]

[Victory for the Waiting Tribe!]

[If this phone doesn’t exist three years later, I want your head.]

[Amazing! I want to buy it!]

[Xiaomi already has a similar model called MIX Alpha. All you need is 19,999 yuan.]

[Who buys Xiaomi?]

[Who buys Xiaomi?!]

[I’m not buying, so put down your gun...]

[An epoch-making product! I won’t have to worry about small texts when reading adult comics anymore!]

...

At the same time, inside a police command vehicle located on the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park’s southern gate...

Lei Jun was currently sitting opposite of the middle-aged team leader and looking at the screen set up inside the vehicle.

When Lei Jun gazed upon the technological marvel in Chen Yu’s hands, he fell into deep thought as he muttered, “So, that’s how it should be made...”
