Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 121 MIUI Internal Beta Testing: Creating a Model Worker Persona

"President Shen, our plan has succeeded just like that? They wouldn't be that stupid."

"Yes, but we need to add fuel to the fire."

I'll continue learning and visit again next week...

A wicked smile crept across their faces.

…………

That evening, Huang Tianya sent a message to General Manager Zheng.

"Mr. Zheng, thank you for your hospitality. The information is currently under review. Transsion Motors has a great interest in photovoltaic technology, and there is a high probability of future cooperation."

The reply came quickly: "Understood. Let's stay in touch."

There were no follow-up questions, and no sales pitches.

Huang Tianya put down his phone and suddenly found this guy interesting. He remembered what General Manager Zheng had said when he saw him off: "Production capacity is limited, so it's best to finalize the plan first. The selling points are still there."

At the time, I thought it was a sales reminder, but now I think it might have been a marketing person's reminder.

Unfortunately, Transsion only had ideas about this technological direction and had no interest in their solutions.

…………

Thanks to the efforts of unofficial sources, on January 9th, Changan Auto officially announced a strategic partnership with Yingli, with both parties jointly developing a photovoltaic roof project.

Changan Auto's official Weibo account also highlighted Yingli's technology: "Yingli is an important partner of our company, and many of their ideas are at the forefront of the times."

Yes, just like this photovoltaic power generation, it is truly clean and pollution-free. The next generation of new energy vehicles will integrate photovoltaic power generation systems, which are expected to increase range by 5-10%, saving users a significant amount of money, while also contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts.

At the same time, rumors also circulated within Geely that "a photovoltaic roof project team has been established and is negotiating with three photovoltaic manufacturers."

Jili is preparing to develop its own...

In Guangzhou, Shen Fei simply smiled faintly upon seeing these messages; the fish had indeed taken the bait.

The key to extending the range of photovoltaic power still lies in the photovoltaic panels themselves. Being stubborn won't help, but we can't give up just because they pass the tests; we need to add fuel to the fire.

…………

On the other side, in Kyoto, at the Ginya Building.

The rice company held an internal review meeting.

Lei Jun stared at the numbers on the screen, a hint of excitement in his eyes. The spark had been activated.

We need to go back two days to January 13th when MIUI was officially released as the first beta version.

Thanks to the promotion by the Fireseed group, the number of downloads has exceeded 2521 in the past two days, with 2321 installations and activations completed.

Among them, 53 bug reports were submitted.

Lin Bing stood to the side, seemingly saying nothing.

"Old Lei, how about we post something on the forum to promote it, like Huawei did?"

Lei Jun shook his head: "No."

Lin Bin was stunned for a moment.

"More than 2000 users are enough." Lei Jun looked up. "The effect of their promotion is different from our promotion."

If we were to say, "There's a new system available for download," that would be great too.

Then we get criticized with posts, our posts are deleted, and our accounts are banned. This will damage our reputation.

He looked at Lin Bin.

"Old Lin, this group of people wasn't pushed in, they were recruited, and more isn't necessarily better."

He pointed to the 53 user IDs on the screen that had submitted bug reports.

"These 53 people are the ones who are genuinely interested in the system. They will try out each function one by one, clicking each button one by one, and if they find a bug, they will write it down and send it to me."

He laughed as he looked at the bug reports: "These 53 people are more valuable than 5000 onlookers."

That evening, Lei Jun once again launched his marketing campaign. He logged into the MIUI forum with his own account and replied to each of the 53 bug reports one by one.

User "MiTu005" reported: "The input method switch key is too small, and I often press the wrong one."

Lei Jun replied: "Received. Next week's release will enlarge the toggle button and add vibration feedback."

User "Android Enthusiast": "The desktop scrolling occasionally lags, it seems to happen when loading icons."

Lei Jun replied: "Received. We are optimizing the icon caching mechanism, and it will be improved in the next version."

User "Beijing Drifter Fish": "Could you add a night mode feature? It's too bright when browsing forums at night."

Lei Jun: "Good idea. It's already in the 2.0 feature development process."

Lei Jun read them very carefully and replied to every single one.

It's 1 a.m. and I'm still working.

Lin Bin pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that he was still in front of the computer, he probably hadn't realized what was happening. Creating a persona doesn't have to be this difficult.

He said jokingly, "Old Lei, it's one o'clock. My wife just called me. If you don't come home to greet me soon, she'll kick you out of the house."

Lei Jun didn't turn around: "Five more to go."

Lin Bin walked over and looked at the densely packed posts on his screen. He had been about to speak, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

"How much can you expect to get back like this?"

He pointed to the IDs on the screen: "When these people downloaded Miwai, no one told them it was good stuff. Apart from the students in the group, most of them found the forums themselves, downloaded it themselves, flashed the firmware themselves, and tested it themselves."

They trust me, and I must live up to that trust.

Lin Bin nodded when he saw the surveillance camera next to him, and sat down to start working together.

To break through in today's cutthroat mobile phone market, we still need to work hard.

The two worked together until 4 a.m., recording the last bug report.

Then another message popped up on the screen, a private message from MiTu001: "Mr. Lei, you really reply to every single one of them."

Seeing that it had worked, Lei Jun replied with a single word: "Hmm."

"Damn... I thought it was a smaller account."

Seeing this shocking reply, Lei Jun laughed: "It's not late, go to sleep early."

"Mr. Lei, you should go to bed early too."

Lei Jun locked his phone, placed it on the table, and began planning their future together with Lin Bin.

…………

Lei Jun's exemplary role once again played a crucial role, and two days later, the number of applications for the internal testing group began to explode.

On January 17th, the number of applications in a single day exceeded 5000.

On January 18th, the number of applications in a single day exceeded 10,000.

There are new messages in the group every day, every suggestion is discussed by other users, and every time a bug is discovered, someone will tag Lei Jun.

Rex simply glanced at the messages and didn't reply personally anymore. After all, there were too many people to reply to; there were still many staff members from your Rex account replying.

But he will review it, discuss it in meetings, and have the engineers optimize it in the next version.

January 18th, afternoon. MiTu001 posted a new thread.

"Mr. Lei has actually changed the input method I suggested."

The accompanying image is a screenshot of the new MIUI input method, where the switch button is noticeably larger.

An update announcement was also included, stating that 78 bugs were fixed in one go.

The comment section below the post instantly became lively.

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

"I mentioned the night mode a few days ago, and Lei Jun said at the time that it would be planned for version 2.0, and it is now in the development stage."

"What an amazing company! They really respect the wishes of consumers."
