Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 190 [Feng Shen, debut is the peak]

It's really shocking, just a built-in 3 million pixel camera makes people feel extremely shocked, and the same shocking is the industrial design of Azure-X.

Only users who have been using mobile phones with plastic keyboards can most feel the shock when they first see such an industrial design.

It has simply subverted their inherent perception of smart phones.

Can smart phones be made like this?

Will this conference really give birth to a revolutionary product that will shock the world?

The western media couldn't help getting into entanglements. On the one hand, they hoped to see Luo Sheng make a fool of themselves, but on the other hand, they were really shocked.

And Luo Sheng on the stage said: "In addition to these, there are some high-tech devices that are invisible. There are three most advanced sensing devices built into Azure-X. The first is distance sensing, which can sense close objects, so When you take the phone to your ear to answer a call, it will automatically turn off the screen and touch sensing. This saves power and will not accidentally touch your face when you answer the phone. screen."

"The second is ambient light sensing, which can sense the surrounding light conditions and automatically adjust the screen brightness to adapt to the current environment, bringing a better user experience and saving power."

"Finally is the gravity acceleration sensor, which can detect the change from vertical mode to horizontal mode. This is really cool. I will show you later, forget it, I will show you directly now."

Luo Sheng, who was in the midfield of the stage, turned around and walked to the workbench on one side after speaking. All the audience on the scene had their eyes brightened, and the hearts of the industry participants became more and more shocked.

Is it possible that everything he said is true?

The conference has been set up for this long ago, and Luo Shengdu has rehearsed for three days for this conference.

There are several Azure-X prototypes on the workbench to ensure backup, and there is also a special playback system that can transmit digital video, which can be put on the projector through a cable and finally synchronized with the large screen on site. The screen can clearly and intuitively see the interface of the prototype.

Soon, a sub-screen popped up on the right side of the big screen, showing Luo Sheng operating the prototype. He was holding a white prototype, but the black one appeared on the big screen.

At this moment, everyone focused on the prototype in Luo Sheng's hand on the sub-screen. Under everyone's witness, he pressed the power button.

The screen was awakened.

At the same time, the synchronization picture on the big screen on the stage is also bright.

Luo Sheng stared at the prototype in his hand: "Did you see it? The screen is woken up, do you see an icon below? Just touch the icon with your finger and slide it over."

After speaking, I gave a live demonstration again.

Over a thousand pairs of eyes witnessed this moment with their own eyes. Luo Sheng tapped the screen and swiped to the right.

The phone is unlocked, and the main interface is presented.

This scene made the needle drop in the audience audible. At this moment, all witnesses, whether they are from the mainland or foreigners, had an indescribable shock in their eyes.

It was only two seconds after being quiet for two seconds, and the audience suddenly resounded with thunderous applause without warning.

"Oh!!!"

The applause and thunder were mixed with excited shouts, and his light swiping instantly conquered everyone in the audience.

Although this mobile phone still appears to be very backward in Luo Sheng's eyes, this is the Côte d’Azur in just three and a half years, from scratch, and can be developed with the current communication infrastructure and semiconductor infrastructure. The ultimate product.

Although he is still very backward, it is because he has witnessed the vision in the coming decades.

In this era, he swiped gently, marking an era.

Marked out the real smart phone era.

Also opened the era of mobile Internet.

A whole new era has thus opened the door to mankind.

At this time, Luo Sheng turned his head and looked at the audience. Only then did he notice that everyone stood up except for the thunderous applause of the audience. Compared to before, the audience was almost boiling at this moment.

Even harsh Westerners and Western media people who want to watch Luo Sheng's jokes have been conquered at this moment.

Luo Sheng looked back at the screen while touching the screen interface and said: "This is the main interface of Azure-X. Let's experience the experience. Click the MusicSpace application icon to enter. If you want to exit, press the middle button to return. To the main interface."

It is worth mentioning that MusicSpace is still the inside version, but it is also fully enough to meet the needs of the current display. The domestic version of Bluestar Music is still very different from it. After the split and reorganization, it is two independent applications.

"There are several icons under the screen, such as playlists, singers, MVs, and more, so how do I browse the song list? I will show it to you, just use your finger to touch the screen and swipe gently, and there is a list of artists, such Say it’s Avril Lavigne, you need a click, here are all the works about Avril Lavigne, isn’t it super cool?"

Before Luo Sheng's words fell, the applause that had just subsided rose again, and the audience was once again a sensation, with shouts and applause endless.

More and more viewers became more and more excited.

An industry insider who attended the meeting murmured to himself: "I am so stupid, it has subverted my understanding of mobile phones."

At the same time, Luo Sheng spoke again, and the applause just fell.

"Click to enter the playback interface, look at this gorgeous album cover, a very beautiful and cool female singer, I like this little rock witch, she is as cool as Azure-X and has no friends."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. Avril Lavigne is still one of the most popular female singers in the world.

Luo Sheng showed and introduced: "Here is the volume control, and there are more cool operations. Now I will show it to you. When you click and touch the album cover, you can turn it over to display the lyrics. Back, it’s even more cool. Whether it’s in the album cover interface or the lyrics interface, as long as you double-click continuously, you can display all the works under the same album list. The operation is very simple. Of course, you can also click on the [Album List] in the upper right corner. It can be achieved, and you can play as you like. Return to the main playlist, and there are more personalized functions. Click to create a personal favorite playlist, check the songs and then you can, very simple."

Luo Sheng just turned his head to look at the auditorium when he said that, people once again offered warm applause and screams.

"Let’s take a look at the video function and enter the Bluestar video application. It is still a closed beta version. The official version will be completed before the product goes on sale. However, I think it is already very complete, but we need to improve it. Video it."

When entering this display session, the backstage staff and engineers all squeezed their sweat, and silently said in their hearts: Boss, you should never order online videos. I'm really worried that the Internet will not be able to survive.

"Click the icon in the lower right corner to play in full screen." Of course, Luo Sheng did not click on the online video, but opened the offline video. At this moment, the movie "Titanic" is being played.

Luo Sheng introduced while operating the interface: "There is also a touch screen playback function, so we can play a whole movie. This is Azure-X, is it super cool?"

"Oh--!"

There was another shouting and applause.

Luo Sheng smiled at the audience and said: "I once showed the Azure-X mobile phone show to the boss of a supply chain partner, and then I asked him how he felt? He said, from the first time you swipe to unlock the screen, I I was attracted..."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience burst into laughter, and now everyone was extremely excited, and they were all amazed and shocked by this work.

It can be said that this new product launch event opened a new door to their imagination, and an industrial electrical product can be designed so beautiful and cool.

"Close to the subject, now entering the next link, I will show you the most revolutionary phone function of Azure-X. What is a god-level application? The answer is that it is a god-level application that can make calls." Luo Sheng looked at the audience. With a strange expression on his face, everyone was watching him, that self-confident side, no one laughed at it now, even the foreigners who had the heart to read jokes before had to convince him.

He is really showing the world how he redefines the smartphone, which is happening now.

"That’s incredible, isn’t it? Azure-X can actually make calls? How troublesome is it to make calls on most mobile phones? It’s a key press. Most people’s address books don’t actually have any phone numbers. They basically I used recent call records as my address book. How many of you are like this? I bet more than half of them are."

Many people smiled slightly, and the one who laughed was obviously the one who was hit.

"So, we want to give you a unique way to use the address book. You can download all your contacts on your PC and Mac to Azure-X simultaneously, and then you have the contact information for each contact at any time."

Luo Sheng methodically said:

"Azure-X adopts the most popular international standard, GSM and its derivatives. In addition, 3G and other cooler functions will be introduced in the future. Of course, Azure-X also supports wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth."

When I heard the Bluetooth function and Wi-Fi function, there was another round of warm applause.

Luo Sheng continued to operate and introduced: "In addition, I will show you a few other things, such as phone functions, photo albums, calendars, text messages, Internet functions, etc., which are common functions in other mobile phones, but they have changed in Azure-X. It's extraordinary, and these ordinary functions have been an unprecedented evolution."

"First enter the phone function, there are several icons below, personal favorites, recent calls, address book, dial pad, the way to browse the address book is also to slide the list, click on a list of address book, there will be his detailed information , Email, phone number, etc.; this is an SMS text message, there can be several conversations, in the form of conversation, every time you receive a new message, you will receive a reminder..."

Luo Sheng demonstrated these functions to the audience one by one, showing that you can choose your favorite music as ringtone, showing you can choose your favorite photo as desktop wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper, showing using Azure-X mobile phone to make calls, etc...

During this period, the show was interrupted by applause and shouts from the scene one after another. No one expected that this press conference would turn out to be like this, and it would be shocked beyond the limit.

"There is no doubt that we have redefined the smartphone."

Luo Sheng came to the stage midfield: "Now let’s look at the Internet access function of Azure-X. This is a very important part of Azure-X. We have rich HTML emails, which is the first time in the world on smart mobile terminal devices. Rich mail application, you can use any IMAP or POP3 mail service, it will connect with your favorite mail service, you can put everything on the server, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Mac Mail, GoogleGmail, etc."

"OK, let me show you more incredible features now, an Internet world running in your hands, and a product that can be put in your pocket on the Internet."

The words were filled with gratitude in an instant, and the audience burst into applause.

"This is the best browser in the world that we use on our mobile phones. It is not a WAP browser, but a real browser. It runs on Azure-X." Luo Sheng said here again, he went to the workbench and picked up the phone. .

"Emmm... just choose the blue space social networking site, load it, and see if it’s super cool? It’s not like the blue space that your existing smartphone gives you the wap version, shown on Azure-X. It is a complete blue space page that can be swiped up and down. Although these views can see the entire page, the text is too small, so we designed a double-click operation. You only need to double-click any area to zoom in that position, or you can use two fingers At the same time, the touch screen opens and closes to expand and contract, just like this, and more importantly, this is our patent, and we hope to protect these patents."

After speaking, Luo Sheng gave a live demonstration again, and there was once again warm applause.

Luo Sheng smiled and said to the audience: "If you have used the so-called browser on your mobile phone, you will know how cool it is. There is no harm without comparison. This is a revolutionary breakthrough. From then on, your mobile phone has The real Internet, portable mobile Internet."

There was thunderous applause again, and some people in the industry realized a very important issue in the shock.

Mobile Internet!

The world is going to change!

At this moment, the industry participants all realized that an unprecedented new outlet was coming.

The Internet industry is about to usher in an unprecedented subversive innovation. Luo Sheng's sliding has opened a new era in the Internet industry!

With the applause falling again, Luo Sheng also put down the prototype and returned to the midfield of the stage again, with a small remote control in his hand.

"Many mobile phones on the market have poor battery life, but we have achieved eight and a half hours of battery life. This includes phone calls, videos, music, and the Internet. If you listen to music, you can last for 26 hours, which is smarter than before. Mobile phones are much better."

"There are too many revolutionary functions, and I definitely can't explain them in the limited time at the press conference. There are a lot of innovative technologies in Azure-X. We have done the best in all aspects of design, at least 5 ahead of the industry. More than years."

When Luo Sheng once again said that he was ahead of 5 years, the people present no longer questioned or even sneered at it.

On the contrary, the press conference lasted until now. After witnessing this series of groundbreaking features, they felt that they were more than 5 years ahead.

At this moment, Luo Sheng's voice resounded throughout the conference.

"We have multi-touch screen technology, we have our own designed AP processor, excellent power management, AOS operating system based on mobile devices, exquisite and beautiful industrial design, three advanced sensing devices, desktop computer-level application……"

"In the past few years, we have devoted ourselves to researching crazy innovations, and we have also made crazy investments. The advent of this work cost 11.85 billion yuan. This is only the R&D investment cost. If you want to calculate the total cost on a global scale, it is 20.8. Billion U.S. dollars, excluding exchange rate changes is equivalent to 16.7 billion yuan."

"But we think it's worth it. We have applied for 287 patents for Azure-X. We want to protect these inventions and the intellectual property rights created by our more than 7,000 engineers who have worked hard around 1,280 days and nights. "

"Azure-X is like putting your life in your pocket and putting the Internet in your pocket. When you take it out of your pocket, it is your life. When you hold it in your hand, At that time, the Internet is in your palm."

"Wow!!!"

The thunderous applause and shouting interrupted Luo Sheng again, and the applause lasted.

The Internet is in the palm of your hand!

Luo Sheng’s words were too shocking, and they forced Guerra to be full. What is even more shocking is that he created the most perfect and cool smart mobile terminal device in the world so far. No one expected this "Internet giant" to cross-border mobile phone. It turned out to be the peak of debut.

What is the biggest impact Azure-X mobile phone has on the audience present?

That is, before seeing this work, they felt that the current popular smartphones, such as Motorola and Nuojia, are very good and perfect.

However, when I saw Azure-X, I didn’t show any interest in the product that I was full of praise for an instant. I can’t wait to go up and grab the prototype as my own, and then throw away the plastic keyboard machine in my pocket. Go into the trash can.

Once again, it is confirmed that there is no harm without comparison.

This change only took the time of one press conference. This change is not one person, but everyone.

At this time, Luo Sheng on the stage was pacing, and said without hurries: "How do we price such a perfect product?"

Hearing this, everyone was very concerned.

"Generally speaking, what is the price of these devices? The most popular iPod in North America has sold hundreds of millions of units. If I remember correctly, the price of 4GBNano in North America is $199, which is about 1598 excluding exchange rate changes. What about smartphones? Motorola, Palmer, and Nokia usually cost around $299, which is about 2400, and people spend about $499 or 4000 for this combination. So what is the price of Azure-X?"

"Let’s compare it carefully. Azure-X is much easier to use than them. I don’t think anyone will object to it. There are music, video, multi-touch screen interface, Wi-Fi, a super browser, and a desktop. For computer-level applications, you can use Bluestar Technology's "family bucket" and so on. These things are generally worth four or five hundred dollars or four thousand yuan. Then, we should set a price higher than that for Azure-X Suitable?"

When people in China heard this, they secretly slapped their tongues. This product is good, perfect and impeccable. The only imperfection is that it is too expensive.

According to Luo Sheng's tone, I am afraid that it will be more expensive than the brand machine that has been won by major international manufacturers. At least the rhythm of more than 4,000 yuan can't run.

Domestic consumers may not be able to afford such an expensive mobile phone. Many mobile phones nowadays are cheap copycats.

The veteran industry insiders present surprisingly unanimously believed that it is impossible for the Côte d'Azur to recover costs in a short period of time in the domestic market and only rely on the international market.

In fact, it is true. Luo Sheng's main focus is the overseas market, and now he is mainly targeting the European market.

"Azure-X has too many revolutionary features, how should we price it? The 4GB model is priced at RMB 3999 domestically and US$599 internationally."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was surprised and suddenly applauded.

The international version costs a full 100 dollars, which is equivalent to more than 800 yuan.

This quotation surprised people, especially the foreigners at the scene. The price was US$599, plus the 10~15% tariff of electronic products. The most expensive is about US$688.

It's definitely not cheap, but it's acceptable.

It can only be said that the consumption of developed countries in Europe and America is strong!

Luo Sheng continued: "We also have a 16GB model with a domestic price of RMB 5,999 and an international price of $799."

This time the audience secretly slapped their tongues. Even if it is placed in Europe and America, as an electronic product, it is also a very high price. It can be said that Azure-X is very expensive, but as an epoch-making disruptive technology product, it cannot Say it is not worth the price.

Such an expensive price is definitely one of the most expensive smartphones in the world so far. Some people can't help but wonder what the sales of this product will be after it is released?

I'm afraid there won't be too many people buying.

In fact, Luo Sheng is not worried about sales at all. It is natural for the mobile phone industry to compete fiercely, but the market size is also huge. Not surprisingly, the global market for the mobile phone industry will reach 1 billion units this year, which is more than three times the sales of computers. .

With such a large volume, Luo Sheng's goal for Azure mobile phone sales to the Azure Coast company at the end of this year and next year is about 10 million units, which only accounts for 1% of the entire market share.

More importantly, Luo Sheng has full confidence in the product itself. There will be no direct competitors in the next one to two years. As for those smart phones with plastic keyboards, they can be used in front of Azure-X phones. nothing.

Finally, Luo Sheng announced: "So when will it go on sale? It will be on sale globally on December 24."

The press conference lasted until here and basically came to an end. As Luo Sheng announced the specific release date, there was once again warm applause.

The press conference also ended with Luo Sheng's final speech in less than a minute.

The news is being delivered to the world at an alarming speed, sweeping the world almost overnight, and the whole world is a sensation. On the second day, the news of the company's new product launch conference occupied the world's headlines.
