"As Apple's core business, the iPhone has finally ushered in the most terrible strong opponent, 'S-1' under the all-round suppression of performance and price, the iPhone is difficult to breathe, and Apple will be on the verge of the most severe crisis since the post-Jobs era!" -- The Wall Street Journal

Immediately after the press conference, the news spread around the world, with major newspapers reporting on it, and XlouS's news dominated the front pages of the world's media almost every day.

The wearable smartphone device "S-1" is like the iPhone in 2007, dazzling and stunning the world.

The era of hand control has entered the era of voice control, which has had as much impact as the birth of smartphones, which is a moment that changes the world.

XlouS brought the wearable smartphone device 'S-1' to the world with an unparalleled attitude, and the smartphone industry was shaken, and the world did not expect the entry of this upstart, but from this moment on, no one dared to underestimate or even fear that there was no resistance.

And just when the smartphone industry was shaking, the field of artificial intelligence was not calm at the moment, and the emergence of the voice assistant "Xiaoyou" made the entire AI field explode. Especially in Europe and the United States, they have always believed that they are leading the world in the field of AI, especially Alphabet umbrella company, which proudly believes that no one can match it in this field. A few years ago, AlphaGo and BostonDynamics made Alphabet famous around the world.

But at this moment, a Chinese company suddenly gave birth to such excellent AI technology, Xiaoyou's intelligence, and Ren Hong's interaction at the press conference has begun to take shape. Now, with the exception of the Chinese company XlouS, no one in the world has been able to do this well in the field of artificial intelligence, at least not to launch a product that users are willing to pay for.

It is worth mentioning that after the press conference, during the opening of the stock market the next day, Apple's stock price fell in response, down 11.6% on the same day, since the release of that video, Apple's stock price has not been stable, until today's plummet, from the announcement of that video to the present, Apple's market value of more than $150 billion has been evaporated. Alphabet took advantage of the situation to become the world's second largest listed company by market capitalization, stepping on Apple for the second time, but this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Apple.

What is obvious is that even an ordinary person knows that the iPhone is powerless in front of the "S-1", the price of $1199 is almost the same as the iPhone, but the performance is ten times better, and the two sides can come up with a one-sided result without even competing.

What followed was a big shock to Apple's stock, smartphones, as Apple's core business, are now being irresistibly strong opponents, and people are pessimistic about it, and today's stock price crash is the best performance.

On the other hand, the only offline store of "S-1" opened at the headquarters of XlouS is a different story. At the press conference, after Ren Hong announced the news, some people began to rush here. Users in Wanning City are the first to get a month, but they are still not the first batch of buyers. Soon after the press conference, it was learned that the only offline store was about to open the next day, and there were some real local tyrants who came here, and they began to line up at the entrance of the store early, which used to only occur at Apple sales points, but now it is even more so.

"! No way! The next day, Pan Ce, who happened to be traveling in Wanning City, came to Nanqiao Town, his purpose was very clear, he wanted "S-1", and he was just glad that he had just come to Hainan for a vacation.

However, when he arrived at the directly managed store at the headquarters of XlouS, the tragic discovery had already formed a long queue.

Pan Ce was angry, when will this Nima be queued? Thinking that more and more people were rushing here, he quickly became a member of the long dragon. Sure enough, the faces who came here were all here for the "S-1".

"It's crazy, it's only 6 o'clock, I thought...... Alas! ”

"No way, 'S-1' gives me no resistance, this brick can be used as a family heirloom in the future!" A buddy in front of him waved the iPhone7S-plus mobile phone in his hand and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! The iPhone is so weak compared to the 'S-1', and I've already thought of giving Xiaoyu an exclusive name, which is Nicole! Hey. Pan Zer said, looking at the dozens of people behind him in less than a few minutes, and he was glad that he was not too late.

The queue here was quickly photographed by reporters and reported on the Internet, and the popularity of the "S-1" has begun to be revealed, and people who do not know think that Apple has launched a new product. Users who are not in Wanning City can only wait for the official website to open for online ordering.

Waiting is undoubtedly the most boring, but the people in line here are happy, considering that the people who come here to line up are almost all iPhone users, obviously, if Cook knew, I don't know how it would feel.

The time came to 10:00, the closed door of the direct store finally opened, the staff was startled, he was prepared, he immediately held the megaphone and shouted: "Everyone calm down, queue up in order, everyone rest assured, 'S-1' inventory is very sufficient, where it can be out of stock here will not be out of stock, do not have a stampede!" ”

"Stop talking nonsense! Shipping is on sale, and I still have to catch the afternoon flight back to Shanghai! The man at the back of the line yelled.

This staff member pinched his sweat, there were so many people that there was no end in the queue. More than 30 staff members worked nervously, and one by one the closed hardcover boxes were pushed to the sales counter of the direct sales point.

"Give me 10, thank you!" The fat little brother who was in the first line said rudely, and at the same time was answering the phone, saying, "Huh? Got it, no problem, don't worry, add 5 more? OK！ Then he said to the salesman: "Add 5 more to me!" Thank you! ”

"No problem, sir, swipe the card and go to the side to pick up the device!" The young female staff member said with a professional smile.

If it weren't for the guarantee of the company's headquarters and the front staff, this guy would order 15 units alone, and the people in the back would definitely not be able to bear it.

At the same time as the offline direct store is selling hotly, the official website is also open to ordering, and one by one transaction orders continue to be generated, in the era of national online shopping, there are few people who will not place orders.

And the warehouse area is also busy.

"The total distribution agent in the California area has an order of 1 million units!"

"500,000 Wisconsin"

"300,000 orders in the German area!"

"650,000 in France!"

"UK 700,000"

"600,000 in Guangdong!"

"800,000 in Shanghai!"

"1.2 million in North China"

After the press conference, the phone calls of dealers around the world have called the headquarters to start placing orders, obviously, Ren Hong is reluctant to open a direct store offline, but someone will buy in bulk, that is, agent sellers around the country, "S-1" even if the premium of 200 US dollars has a huge consumer market, "S-1" performance and its price is still too low, Ren Hong is unwilling to make this money, does not mean that others are unwilling, at least during this time, it is very marketable.
