Chapter 355 [Hot sales scene and cool AI assistant]
October 5, Sioux City.
In the single flagship store located in Xiangcheng District, the number of consumers queuing up to buy has exceeded 1,000. These people are also working hard enough. The National Day holiday is basically spent here.
The most popular one in the front row area is hundreds of people. In order to buy the Azure-3 mobile phones as soon as possible, they queue up for a week, so they set up a tent on the spot to spend the night.
If this is not true love...
Such a grand occasion made friends envious, and they were also excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, because this scene allowed them to see that the market potential of smartphones was even greater than they had imagined before.
What makes Wall Street amazed is that this kind of thing actually happens in China, and almost all major offline retail stores across the country are like this.
When did the consumers here get so crazy?
Is the consumption potential of this market crazy?
Or is it the result of the competitiveness of the new Costa del Azure products being too strong?
It seems that all can be established.
By around 9 a.m., all offline retail stores across the country opened and sold almost at the same time.
On average, there are 47 employees in each offline direct retail store, mainly sales staff, followed by six or seven security guards. Since there are too many people queuing on site, these staff must maintain order on site and not turn good things into bad things.
The consumers who had been in line for a week were already in a state of nowhere, as if they were trapped with a "weak" skill, but as soon as the store door opened, everyone immediately recovered.
...
"8gb version black version."
"Okay, sir, may you swipe your card or cash?"
"Cash."
"8gb version, two white models."
"Look, it's so tangled. Is it 8g version or 32g..."
"Beauty, it's OK to change your phone if it is activated, but it's very troublesome."
"Hey, how long does it take for your mobile phone warranty?"
"Three years."
"Okay, get me 32g."
...
As soon as the store opened, it immediately showed a hot sales scene. The dozens of employees in the store were divided into multiple links, and their respective division of labor was very clear, which was just like an assembly line.
Here, line up to make an order, confirm the model you want to purchase, and then the customer will take the order to go to the next counter to complete the payment. The third step is to go to the next service counter, and the warehouse staff will take out the designated model and activate it.
After completing these three steps, you can basically take the product away. If you have any questions, you can go to the customer service hall in the store to consult the staff. If you catch any person wearing work clothes, you can ask.
Of course, there are also online customer service consultations.
The average investment cost of an offline store is as high as RMB 35 million. All services are very thoughtful and extremely efficient.
Now is the first day of the new product launch. Five counter windows have been opened in the store at the same time. On average, each window can complete the shipment of four units within one minute. The offline store will open on time from 9 a.m. to 22 a.m. The staff will rotate and rest.
In theory, this flagship store in Sucheng can complete shipments of more than 1.5 units in one day, while flagship stores in first-tier cities such as Shencheng can theoretically exceed more than 20,000 units in the maximum daily shipment capacity.
The store size will also be adjusted in different regions.

On the afternoon of October 5, it was located in a residential bedroom in an apartment in Pengcheng.
A man living here is Wang Fu. He is a technology blogger. He is a group of early self-media practitioners. He mainly produces video up hosts with various newly launched electronic products personal review videos. He has accumulated a lot of fans and users.
The new Costa del Sur is so popular that he will not let it go. After the first day of release, he bought one at the first time, but he did not queue up, but asked his friend to buy it, and he had to pay double the price for this.
After all, it took a week to rush to buy it at the first time.
The main platform for publishing his videos is naturally Bluestar Video, but the ability to monetize this industry in the mainland is really average, far less than that of the international version, and it is currently the world's largest streaming video website, Bluestarvideo.
You should know that on the BV video website, some up masters and masters have a monthly advertising alliance share income of US$400,000 and RMB500,000, which is equivalent to more than RMB3 million.
Wang Fu was naturally very envious, but there was no way. He was aimed at mainland audiences, and the main streaming platform Bluestar Video is already the best platform in mainland China. Even so, the competition is very fierce.
However, Wang Fu is now ready to make a living, which is related to the technology product review he is engaged in. As he has more and more fans, the video content he produces is also very popular, and some merchants will also come to him to advertise.
The videos he made usually ranged from about 7 to 10 minutes. At this moment, after getting the first-hand product, Wang Fu started to make videos and spent several hours producing them, including some editing and subtitle editing before uploading them to the Blue Star Video website.
As the video is uploaded, some scattered viewers begin to click to watch, and the number is gradually increasing. The mechanism of Blue Star Video is similar to that of the international version of BV. After the new video is uploaded, it will enter a t1 level traffic pool, and then advance from t1 level with ability. The more you go up, you can get more traffic and exposure.
[A good house was destroyed in a window, a good neighbor was destroyed in his surname Wang, a good girl was destroyed in his makeup, a good man was destroyed in a gun, and a good video was destroyed in no one likes it.]
[Hello everyone, everyone, I am the "Intimate Lao Wang". The video of azure-3 that my friends have been urging has finally come out. Don't forget to like it when watching the video.]
[Before entering the official stage, Lao Wang apologized to his friends. Actually, I had already received the goods in the morning. However, because this phone was so fun, I forgot to make a video. This machine is really fun. Lao Wang definitely didn’t have the meal on the Costa del Sur in this video, because they didn’t need it at all. Everyone knows how azure-3 is.]
[As one of the hardcore believers under Archbishop Sheng, Lao Wang actually wanted to make a fuss. However, the Archbishop probably didn't know that there was a man named Yun Masao. If he talked too much, he would cry, but we are still fanatical.]
The viewers who watched the video couldn't help but comment when they saw this.
Do you call the 25-year-old archbishop an old man? Can you have a ghost Fancha...
[Back to the point, this video introduces Azure-3. As for the Archbishop’s introduction at the press conference, we will not introduce too much, such as 45nm process, AOS 3.0 version system, L3 chip, etc., it is absolutely awesome. It is definitely ahead of the world. This is domestic products. I would like to emphasize again, domestic products, this is why I am one of the enthusiastic believers of the Archbishop.]
[I believe that all the cultists have watched the press conference. There is a complete review of the full press conference video on Blue Star Video. Today, we mainly introduce a super cool feature that the Archbishop did not introduce at the press conference. I don’t know what the Archbishop thinks. Anyway, after I experienced it today, I think this new feature is so cool. Why doesn’t the Archbishop introduce it?]
[This is specially left to Lao Wang to introduce?emmm...]
[It is the Azure-3 comes with an intelligent program [Xiaolan], which is an intelligent voice assistant. In Lao Wang's opinion, this is definitely a super unexpected and super surprise. "Xiaolan" not only makes you feel the powerful technical strength of the Costa del Sur, but the key is that it is so fun. How to play it? I will show you later.]
[Let’s talk about the functions of this voice assistant. As long as you let ‘Xiao Lan’ run in the background, you can directly enter it through voice, such as asking Xiao Lan to arrange an alarm clock for you and a schedule prompt. What’s even more cool is that through ‘Xiao Lan’, you can start all the applications on your phone without manual operation, including if you want to search for cloud songs, you can also directly enter it. It’s so sci-fi.]
The viewers watching the video were also very shocked. If it was ten or even five years later, this situation would not have any psychological fluctuations for the general public.
But in this era, it is really amazing, and for ordinary consumers, it is simply like the unheard of black technology.
[Through this application, Lao Wang has been pursuing the powerful voice recognition technology of the Costa del Blue. ‘Xiao Lan’ not only has superb recognition of voice input. This recognition is not limited to the voice content you say, but also includes your voice. Yes, you heard it correctly, and also includes your voice recognition.]
[You may be confused with a question. For example, in some occasions, such as in public, when you are typing the voice of "Xiao Lan", it happens to be noisy next to you, and there are other people talking, which may cause the voice to recognize what others say. Isn't this very inconvenient?]
[But the technical team of the Costa delle of this problem, how to do it? If you are using it for the first time and after starting the smart program of "Xiao Lan", you must first register and associate it through the Azure account. Then you will be asked to enter three voice segments in a quiet environment. Whatever you say, this is to lock your original soundtrack.]
[Complete this step, even if you are in a downtown area, ‘Xiao Lan’ will recognize the voice content you said in various voices and provide feedback, while other noises will be filtered out, right? In this way, there will be no embarrassing scenes like “Shut up, I’ll talk to Xiao Lan”.]
[If you have a cold, your voice will change? It's very simple. Can't you just reset the original sound settings? This does not require your previous voice to judge. You can change the original sound settings by simply passing account password verification or other verification channels.]
Next, the up master, Lao Wang, immediately gave a series of demonstrations in the video.
It is worth mentioning that the underlying technology source of Xiaolan, the intelligent voice assistant, is Nov Nafu, that is, Xiaona.
Including Hatsune Miku, the origins of these AI technologies are all derived from Xiaona.
There is no doubt that Xiaona is still in the stage of weak artificial intelligence, and Xiaolan, the assistant of Azure-3, must be weak artificial intelligence. In a sense, whether it is Hatsune or Xiaolan, it is just a monetization projection of Xiaona.
Next, Wang Fu first demonstrated that he opened the blue space application through voice input. Before voice input, he needed to say the prefix, that is, the wake-up word "Xiaolan". This name is not fixed. Users can open the program to personalize the settings and customize the nickname for the intelligent voice assistant. This nickname is the wake-up word.
However, "Xiao Lan" is the official name. Just modifying this by just awakening words, companies or scientific research institutions around the world that study artificial intelligence cannot do it. The issue of awakening words is enough for them to study for several years.
So although Luo Sheng is a "mind-retarded" in his eyes, he is definitely a black technology in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of ordinary people.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Wang used "Xiao Lan" to search using Yun Song.
What he said was: "Xiao Lan, help me open the official website of Blue Star Technology."
Xiaolan: "Okay, master."
With about 1 second delay, the mobile phone desktop will automatically jump to Yunge Search and enter the official website of Blue Star Technology.
Afterwards, Wang Fu tried to dial the phone through "Xiao Lan" and send text messages. The content editor said it was fine, and he could also arrange regular releases, which means that Xiao Lan could arrange it in advance and determine the text message content and release time. Once the time came, Xiao Lan would send this message according to the recipient designated by the owner.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a complete black technology.
The audience who watched the video was extremely shocked and fell in love instantly.
