Age of Dreams

June 24, 9 p.m. New York time. (Apex Fiction)

Today is the pre-sale day of the Fairy Company dream pad2. Xiao Qi has never made a point that foreign countries are more popular than domestic ones. All product sales are carried out according to China time. This time it will be at 9 am on June 25, China time. point.

As a pity that due to the earthquake, the pre-sale of the last phase of the dream pad suddenly decreased. Everyone has a lot more interest in the dream pad2.

Compared with the slight changes between Joe's ipad and ipad2, dream pad2 is definitely a conscience product.

Xiao Qi not only tried his best to reduce the thickness of dream pad2 by 2mm, but also added the dazzling functions of dream stars such as fingerprint unlocking and beauty photo taking, in addition, the pixel density of the screen was greatly improved, and the running speed of the CPU was increased by 50%. The advantage of fairy maiden system optimization and improvement of 30% makes everyone feel that dream pad2 is definitely a leap like flying compared to dream pad.

In fact, well said is not as good as well done.

With the continuous bombardment of advertisements at the end of May, each Fairy directly-operated store shipped 100 dream pad2s for fans to try.

Due to the enthusiasm of the fans, the long queues outside the directly-operated store often blocked the traffic, and the police had to intervene.

Therefore, the Fairy Fairy directly-operated store can only post a notice, asking fans to try to only experience it for 15 minutes, so as to give more opportunities to the people behind.

And the praise is from this nearly a month's time.

"When playing large-scale games, I feel that the speed is twice as fast. It is very smooth, and it handles details better and more delicately than the dream pad."

"I picked up the dream pad2 to take a selfie of myself. I found that the pixel density is really amazing. It can even take a photo of the little acne I developed this morning. And the beauty camera system is also very good, with automatic lightening and soft processing, and then With a little simple operation, I will look younger again!"

"I ran the video experience on the Internet for a while, and it was very smooth. Generally, the buffering does not exceed 10 seconds, which is of course also related to the network speed of the fairy store. Overall, I think it is very comfortable to hold in my hand. Xiao Qi is very good at aesthetics. The design is really too important, and this kind of soft touch makes people willing to hold it all the time."

"It's a pity that the workers of the fairy factory went to the earthquake relief, so my favorite color version dream pad2 can't be pre-ordered this month. It would be great if I could buy the red one this month~~"

"..."

After the good word of mouth spread, everyone praised the dream pad2 even more, together with Xiao Qi's large amount of advertising investment, resulting in the number of people willing to buy the dream pad2. It has already exceeded 300 million people, directly surpassing the dream pad's 100 million sales record by more than double!

Thinking about it, the dream pad is a bit unfinished. Everyone feels very puzzled by Xiao Qi's push of the dream pad2 so quickly, because at least the dream pad can be bought for another half a year, and there is absolutely no problem, or even a year.

Hearing the results of this investigation, Xiao Qi was so moved that he almost shed tears: It's not easy. In the next year, if we push an upgraded product, we will be scolded for cheating money. Now I have launched an upgraded product in a year and a half, and people say it kindly. The advantage of being one step ahead is really too great.

It is precisely because the user base of the dream pad is far from being saturated, so they directly transfer their desire for the dream pad to the dream pad2.

Coupled with the word-of-mouth spread over the past year and a half, many people who didn't care much about this smart tablet at first have also developed an interest and plan to get started with dream pad2 directly.

300 million purchase intentions. Let Microsoft, Samsung, Apple and other large companies interested in developing tablet computers are simply salivating.

If they also join this market, wouldn't they have at least tens of millions of shares?

As people become more and more aware of smart tablet computers, there is still hope for this market to become bigger and stronger!

I dare not say that there are more than 3 billion desktop and laptop computers in stock, but at least 1 billion is still possible!

It seems the entire tablet market. Really make a difference!

...

Leaving this matter alone and not mentioning it, come back to your eyes.

As early as 15 minutes before the official pre-sale, countless people stood in front of the computer, refreshing the website page of the Fairy Company dream pad2 area over and over again.

"tick~~"

With a clear sound of water drops falling, everyone was refreshed, and immediately saw the promotional page just now, which immediately turned into several dream pad2 purchase pictures with prices.

The price of dream pad2 has also been officially announced.

Unlike previous expectations, the price of dream pad2 has not increased due to the optimization and improvement of various performances and functions, and remains at the same price as dream pad.

Taking the moderate US price as an example, the 16gb wifi version is still $566, the wifi plus 3g is $666; the 32gb wifi version is $788, and the wifi plus 3g is $888.

It’s just that compared to the previous dream pad, the dream pad2 has added a 64g version. The 64g wifi version is 1088 US dollars, and the wifi plus 3g is 1188 US dollars.

How kind!

Since everyone had already made a decision, after a little emotion, they immediately clicked on the style they needed and turned to the payment page.

But at this moment, the speed of opening the webpage suddenly slowed down.

"Shet! Why are you so slow?"

"No? Is it stuck?"

"What kind of broken website? Fairy Company doesn't increase the amount of content?"

"..."

The curses came out from the mouths of eager fans, and spread to the Internet through various social media, WeChat, Weibo, Facebook, etc.

As a result, within a few minutes, they were happy again.

Because Fairy Company announced through its official WeChat account that as soon as the pre-sale channel was opened just now, 106 million independent IPs flooded into Fairy Company's website, directly destroying Fairy Company's website. Dozens of backup servers have been enabled, and I am afraid that the page will not be able to be opened long ago.

Now Fairy Company is mobilizing new servers, hoping to restore the access speed in ten minutes, please wait patiently.

"Haha, there are so many people pouring in at the same time! The fairy company is really awesome. It has more than 100 million visits to ip in the same time period. Is this another world record?"

"Let me tell you, Fairy Company is not crowded at all on weekdays. Even the monthly booking days for dream pads and dream stars can still be booked!"

"Damn it! I'm discussing a problem with someone on the dream stars forum, and now I'm completely stuck! You bastards, do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"Tch, I'm still shopping for accessories, am I easy? I'm on the west coast, it's two or three o'clock in the morning!"

"Hey, I'm not in a hurry to grab the first batch. Anyway, the dream pad in my hand is still in good use. It's just that Xiao Qi is too kind. I tried the prototype of dream pad2, and I think this high-performance tablet For a computer, a 20% price increase is not an exaggeration, but they didn’t raise the price for a penny, so for this, I will still buy one in two months.” \u003cCompared with stars, it’s so weak! A slightly larger game cannot be played, and a page with a little more information opens like a snail. What's the use of such a product if you say it's cheap? Learn from Xiao Qi! The dream pad is already good enough, but they quickly upgraded to dream pad2. This kind of serious and responsible attitude deserves our support! "

"I'm a huge fan of Xiao Qi. I like every product he creates and I want to buy it. I... Damn! The website has been restored!!"

When a group of people were bragging and farting, the Fairy Company's website had returned to normal before they knew it. Although the speed was a little slower, the selection and payment pages were still operating normally.

This time, the number of Dream Pad 2 released by Fairy Company is only 5 million, which is almost half of the normal sales of the previous Dream Pad, and it was sold out by people within 5 minutes.

Those who are a little slower, are still bragging and chatting with friends on the Internet. When they react, the pre-sale page has completely disappeared, leaving only the words "Stay tuned for the next release".

Many people are completely wanting to cry at such a speed similar to "robbery".

However, most people still understand why the sales volume is so small this time.

After all, both the Fairy Factory and the Red Sea No. 1 Factory have devoted themselves to the rescue of the 5.12 super earthquake. They officially resumed work in early June. They can produce 5 million new-generation dream pad2s in about 20 days. , is already the result of very hard work.

In the face of catastrophe, people are always more tolerant.

However, more people immediately left messages on the Fairy Company website, strongly demanding that the pre-sale volume be doubled next month, which was also a reasonable reaction. (To be continued..)
