Chapter 532 The wedding is coming
As the press conference ended successfully, major media outlets rushed to report on it and various headlines emerged one after another.
"With just a swipe, a new era of mobile phones begins."
"Orange Three, a great product!"
"Technology empowers life, and Orange changes the world!"
"Orange mobile phone, leading the world!"
"Taichu System, a mobile operating system unique to China!"
.........
When Orange 3 went on sale, all major offline and online sales platforms were packed. The online stock was sold out in less than half an hour, and the stock at offline outlets only lasted for one day. Requests for delivery were received from all over the country.
Some cities that are not covered by offline outlets have also called the Juzi customer service department, asking Juzi to set up sales outlets in their local areas as soon as possible to facilitate purchases.
Even several big families in Hong Kong that were engaged in retail business had requested Orange to open counters in their department stores.
Originally, after several years of development, Juzi only had more than 120 offline stores across the country, most of which were concentrated in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai.
Now, taking advantage of this momentum, Lu Cheng immediately ordered to expand outlets as quickly as possible and establish Orange Homes in various places to provide customers with experience, sales, after-sales services, etc., to improve Orange's services.
At the same time, Lu Cheng had already asked Orange Technology to set up a special "mobile game development studio" in advance to develop a variety of mobile games specifically for Orange 3, enrich the number of applications on the phone as soon as possible and keep the Orange phone fresh.
Under Lu Cheng's personal guidance, many games such as "Angry Birds" and "Plants vs. Monsters" were quickly launched and soon became popular among users.
Obviously, "Plants vs. Monsters" is adapted from "Plants vs. Zombies". However, the zombies in the original version are all Western zombies, but Lu Cheng changed them into various Eastern monsters, and the overall style has also become Chinese.
In addition, Lu Cheng also signed a contract with Penguin Group, and his level will be upgraded faster if he uses an Orange mobile phone to log in to QQ.
It was also due to the emergence of the Taichu system that Lu Cheng, after consulting with the leaders of the Computer Science Department of the University of Tokyo, opened an elective course at the University of Tokyo on programming based on the Taichu system.
When the Orange mobile phone became a big hit in the country, the news soon spread abroad.
Far away at Apple's headquarters in California, Jobs looked at all the new information about the Orange phone on the Internet with a serious expression. He immediately called his secretary and said, "Evelyn, I have a task for you. Get a sample of this phone as soon as possible. I want to test its hardware and software and understand its system!"
"Yes, boss!"
At the same time, Google's CEO is also paying attention to the news about Orange. Since the low-key acquisition of Android in 05, Google has been investing a lot of money in the development of the Android system, hoping to come up with a new system as soon as possible and start a new era of mobile phones.
Before the emergence of Orange 3, no one would have thought that smartphones would first appear in China, and it was a new company that had just started not long ago, a company founded by a college student.
At this moment, both Apple's Steve Jobs and Google's CEO have realized a problem: they have faced a strong opponent, a talented young man from Eastern China.
Most people in China have not yet realized what the emergence of Orange 3 means, but Jobs is the one who knows it best and knows best how talented his opponent Lu Cheng is.
Although he hadn't received the sample yet, the super-large screen design, sensitive response speed, smooth interface switching, and perfect combination of multiple functions made Steve feel the pressure and he even had the idea of redesigning his first generation of Apple.
In comparison, domestic mobile phone brands such as Gionee have breathed a sigh of relief, because Orange phones have begun to move towards the high-end route and will not compete with them for the low-end market.
The major domestic companies that originally regarded Juzi as their rival have now given up on this imaginary enemy, because the enemy is too powerful, so powerful that they can hardly catch up. They are still imitating foreign brands, but they have already surpassed foreign brands.
The Orange 3 was officially launched at the end of August. In just two months of September and October, the sales volume of Orange phones in China reached a staggering 1.2 million units.
At the same time, another 800,000 units were sold to Europe and the United States.
In other words, in just these two months, the total sales of Orange 90 exceeded billion yuan. Adding other products, as well as the income of Orange Technology and Red Bean Capital, the net profit is a huge number.
Lu Cheng's net worth has already exceeded 10 billion and is still growing rapidly.
In the following period, Juzi continued to increase its investment in scientific research and in-depth research on hardware, while also acquiring land and building factories and buildings.
In November 2006, Lu Cheng signed an agreement with the Jinling Municipal Government, designated a piece of land in the city center, and began to build the Orange Headquarters Building.
At the same time, in order to further expand production and meet market demand, Lu Cheng established new factories in Zhongzhou, Jiangcheng and other places.
Of course, while busy with work, Lu Cheng did not forget his own lifelong event.
At the end of 2006, Lu Cheng finally turned and reached the legal age for marriage as stipulated by the state.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng and Lin Jingyi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together to apply for a marriage certificate.
When they got the marriage certificate, not only Lin Jingyi was excited, but even Lin's parents were excited.
After waiting for three or four years, seeing that Lu Cheng, the prospective son-in-law, was becoming more and more outstanding and powerful, even Lin's parents were worried all the time.
Now, with the marriage certificate in hand, the couple's marriage is finalized, and the Lin family members are relieved.
"Lu Cheng, what about your wedding? Where should it be held? How do you plan to arrange it?"
After getting the marriage certificate, Lu Cheng spoke directly: "Dad, Mom. Marriage is something that only happens once in a lifetime. I want to make it grand and give Jingyi the most perfect marriage. In my opinion, the wedding should be held before the New Year. It should be a classical Chinese wedding, with a custom-made bright red cheongsam, dragon and phoenix wedding candles."
"Okay, okay, we'll listen to you."
Lin Jingyi on the side was so happy that she couldn't speak, and just looked at Lu Cheng quietly.
Just like that, before the New Year, Lu Cheng began to prepare for his wedding intensively, and sent out wedding invitations to his relatives and friends, even the school leaders of Dongda University and leaders at all levels of Jinling City were not missed.
To be honest, as oranges became more and more popular, orange companies not only provided more than 10,000 jobs for Jinling, but also attracted talents and even promoted the development of tourism to a certain extent.
Of course, Tokyo University also gained a wave of popularity as a result, and the school's ranking rose by two or three places.
Moreover, the computer science major at the University of Tokyo has become a top major, catching up with the architecture major.
Because of this, after receiving Lu Cheng's wedding invitation, many of the school leaders of Dongda University and the city leaders of Jinling City decided to attend in person, and those who could not come also prepared to send a gift and blessings.
In Lu Cheng's dormitory, Tao Mingxuan and others looked at Lu Cheng's wedding invitation and were envious: "Old Lu, four years ago we were brothers who entered school together. Now you are not only successful in your career, but you are also getting married and having children. This is too fast."
"Yeah, I haven't found a girlfriend yet."
"How can there be such a big difference between people who slept in the same dormitory?"
"Alas, if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away."
Although Lu Cheng is already a wealthy man and a celebrity entrepreneur, he can still sit down and chat with his roommates when he returns to the dormitory. This touches them all and they truly regard Lu Cheng as a friend.
Zhang Kai, who came over, also muttered: "Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng, he is successful in his career, worth billions, and world-famous. It will be prestigious for us to tell others about it, right?"
"Hey, it's true. Now I can talk to the rich man."
"Okay, okay, don't forget to attend my wedding. It doesn't matter whether there's a red envelope or not, just go and join in the fun."
"Make sure you arrive as soon as possible!"
"If you need us to run any errands, just tell us."
On the other side, in the girls' dormitory.
Zheng Wei looked at Ruan Guan and Zhu Xiaobei with some envy: "I envy you two so much. You can be Lin Jingyi's bridesmaids and attend the wedding of the rich man Lu."
Ruan Guan smiled and said, "That's Lin Jingyi's courtesy. Otherwise, how would we have a chance?"
Zhu Xiaobei nodded: "I heard that there are many girls from Lin Jingyi's group who want to be bridesmaids. There are quite a few bridesmaids this time, and we are just two of them."
"You guys are not satisfied with being able to show up at a wedding like this? How about I go instead?"
"Haha, whether to change it or not, our say doesn't count."
