95: Chapter 95 Stellar Mobile Phone Ignites the Market

Xingchen Technology Park, temporary office.

Guan Yi stood in front of the desk, her laptop connected to a projector.

On the white wall was the backend monitoring page of the Star Technology official website.

“Boss, the real-time visitor count on the official website has surpassed three million.”

“All customer service lines are fully occupied.”

“The resale premium for ‘stellar’ phones on second-hand platforms is still rising.”

All data pointed to one conclusion.

The market was extremely hungry.

Chen Xu withdrew his gaze from the construction site outside the window.

“Start the sale.”

With that command.

At the same time, millions of users across the country who were refreshing the Xingchen official website saw the page change.

The grey 'Sold Out' box disappeared.

A blue 'Buy Now' button took its place.

On the website's backend, the numbers representing real-time order volume began to scroll at a terrifying speed.

100...

1,000...

5,000...

The refresh rate was so fast that the numbers blurred into a waterfall.

“Server cluster one load is at ninety-nine percent!”

“Cluster two load is at ninety-nine percent!”

“Traffic peak has exceeded the preset threshold!”

The technical lead shouted to Guan Yi.

“General Manager Guan! Requesting to initiate the emergency capacity expansion plan!”

“In another thirty seconds, the servers will crash due to excessive instantaneous requests!”

Guan Yi's eyes did not leave her screen.

On the screen, the total sales figures were constantly jumping.

One hundred million.

Two hundred million.

“Authorized.”

She uttered two words.

The technical lead immediately turned and roared at the team.

“Initiate the plan! All backup server clusters, go online now!”

In the server room, rows of indicator lights turned from yellow to green.

The massive torrent of data was diverted into new computational resource pools.

The lag on the official website disappeared.

The growth rate of orders became even faster.

Chen Xu walked behind Guan Yi, looking at the string of numbers on the screen representing sales revenue.

He took out his phone and dialed the number for Wei Donghai of Huaxing Precision Engineering.

The call was answered in a second.

“President Chen!”

Wei Donghai's voice contained uncontrollable excitement.

He had clearly seen the sales data on the official website as well.

“Chairman Wei.”

Chen Xu's tone was flat, without any fluctuations.

“Starting now, the stellar phone production lines are to run twenty-four hours a day.”

“Push production capacity to the limit.”

On the other end of the line was Wei Donghai's forceful voice.

“President Chen, don't you worry! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!”

Wei Donghai hung up the phone.

He stood on the observation walkway of the Huaxing Precision Engineering exclusive production workshop, looking down.

Dozens of robotic arms were currently at work.

Pieces of titanium alloy raw material were being precisely fed into the processing centers.

Milling, shaping, conveying.

There was not a single production worker in the entire workshop.

Wei Donghai's gaze fell upon the central control console.

Chen Shier and Chen San were monitoring all the data streams.

He knew that the true core of this production line was those few young people.

This was the production line that Star Technology had upgraded for him.

The yield rate was ninety-nine percent.

The cost was one-fifth of the quote from Tiangong Manufacturing.

Wei Donghai picked up the walkie-talkie and connected to the HR manager.

“Send out the notice: all logistics, warehousing, and material personnel related to the ‘stellar’ project will work in three shifts.”

“From today on, Huaxing Precision Engineering has only one goal.”

“Production.”

...

Shenzhen, Huawei Headquarters.

In the strategic meeting room, the atmosphere was solemn.

The long conference table was filled with the top heads of various business departments.

On the screen was precisely that constantly scrolling sales figure from the Star Technology official website.

“Can anyone tell me what is going on here?”

No one answered.

An hour ago, they were still discussing how Star Technology's sales of one hundred thousand units was a successful piece of fan marketing.

An hour later, this number had already surpassed three hundred thousand and was still growing at a rate of several thousand units per minute.

“Fan economy? What brand's fans have this kind of purchasing power?”

The head of the marketing department stood up; his report had already been rewritten three times.

“We were wrong.”

He was very direct.

“We have been staring at Apple, staring at Samsung, and staring at our domestic competitors.”

“Our user personas are white-collar workers, students, and young people who pursue fashion and performance.”

“We overlooked a group.”

He projected a new user persona report onto the large screen.

Delivery riders, freight drivers, construction workers, geological survey members, ocean-going sailors.

“They have only one requirement for a phone.”

“Battery life.”

“They need an absolutely reliable tool that can guarantee they are online at all times.”

“stellar meets their most core and only demand.”

In the meeting room, no one spoke.

The CEO of Huawei looked at that report.

He saw a vast market that they had forgotten.

“R&D Department.”

He spoke.

“Buy one and bring it back for an immediate teardown. I want to know exactly how far its battery technology is ahead of ours.”

“Procurement Department.”

“Immediately contact its battery supplier, Star Technology. Attempt to procure them at any cost.”

“Marketing Department.”

“Immediately initiate a project to launch our own high-endurance product line.”

“Catch up.”

He said only two words.

Almost at the same time, in the boardrooms of Xiaomi and the OV Group, similar instructions were being issued one after another.

A 'brick' that all the giants had previously looked down upon had smashed open the doors of the market in the most direct way possible.

It didn't steal anyone's cake.

It made a bigger cake for itself.

Everyone realized that the rules of the game had changed.

...

Xingchen Technology Park, office.

The massive waves of the outside world did not reach here.

Guan Yi closed the sales data monitoring page.

The final number stopped at 523,600 units.

Sales revenue: 784.8 million.

This was only the first day's figure.

“Boss.”

Guan Yi walked up to Chen Xu.

“At this rate, our cash flow will be normal by next week, and we can pay off all our bank loans.”

Chen Xu simply nodded.

He looked out the window at the massive silhouettes of Plant No. 1 and No. 2.

“Inform finance.”

Chen Xu spoke.

“Prepay three hundred million in production funds to Huaxing Precision Engineering.”

“Let them go all out on production.”

Guan Yi took it down.

“Yes, Boss.”

She looked at Chen Xu's back.

From the decision to make phones to the product igniting the market, it had taken less than three months.

This speed subverted her understanding.
