[The development of technology has exceeded people's perception of the times. On September 27, 2006, the announcement of the first generation of ACC's smartphone Azure-X was tantamount to dropping a blockbuster!]-"Daily Mail"

[Sexy technology!But the most incredible thing is that the birthplace of this mobile device is not Silicon Valley, this is the only imperfect place!]--"New York Times"

[This is a Chinese electronic product?Are you kidding me?]-"AFP"

[Look at the iPod five years ago. The monochrome interface and the heavy roulette look like something a caveman would use.Now imagine that the future Azure-X may make great progress. You will have a great phone in a few years, and it will be cheaper. If you are not ready to see the difference, then look further!]-"Silicon Valley Magazine"

After the product launch conference, some people in the science and technology circles and news reporters made various comments on the first product of Côte d’Azur. Most users focused on the screen size and focused on Azure-X can do things that other smartphones on the market cannot.

There are some far-sighted views among these hot reviews, and they keenly felt the true meaning of Azure-X.

...

Côte d'Azur, at the senior management meeting.

Luo Sheng, Feng Yi, Yao Jianhong and others gathered together. Yesterday's press conference was concluded successfully, and it also made all the staff breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the preparation was extremely sufficient. During the press conference, there were no accidents. The whole process ended smoothly, and the period was high.

"The response from the media has been pretty good. News from all over the world is covering yesterday’s press conference. I especially looked at the reports and comments of foreign media. Generally speaking, they were positive reports, but more comments were surprised. Of course, it is not boring. To be honest, especially the comments of the western media, it looks dark and cool." Yao Jianhong said with a smile.

Everyone smiled sharply, and everyone was secretly watching foreign media reports.

"It's not surprising at all. I am afraid that Europeans and Americans would never think of this high-tech product. It is actually a product launched by a Chinese technology company, and we are pure novices? It is estimated that they are difficult to accept." Feng Yi said with a smile. .

Everyone at the meeting was also happy. The company is also in a state of excitement. More than 7,000 engineers have worked hard for three and a half years, and now they have finally launched a revolutionary product. Everyone who participated in it was excited. This product is proud of the code I have written.

After a while, Luo Sheng looked around and said: "How is the voice of the industry? Nokia, Motorola, Microsoft, etc.? I really care about their comments."

Qin Weimu shook his head and said: "For the time being, I haven't seen relevant people from these major international companies come out to comment. They have remained silent so far."

In fact, these major international companies are very calm and do not feel like they are facing a big enemy.

The Côte d’Azur products really make them feel amazing, but they still believe that plastic keyboards are the future, and touch screen phones will not become the mainstream in the industry.

Their highest evaluation is that this product on the Côte d'Azur is at best like an unpopular non-mainstream product like Apple, gathering a small number of fans and losing mass consumers.

The development trajectory of things is always surprisingly similar. In Luo Sheng's previous life, when the Qiao gang launched the first real touch-screen smartphone, those international manufacturers did not realize that the disruptive change node had arrived.

And this also put Nokia and Motorola on the road of decline.

Luo Sheng nodded, and immediately looked at Yao Jianhong and said: "The first task at the moment is publicity. If the US$180 million publicity fee is not enough, we will allocate funds. The focus will be on the European market. As for the North American market...Let’s take it step by step, and finally the strategy In this market, our focus is now on Europe, and the domestic market will not be considered in a short period of time. Sales will not be too large, so the European market is the top priority now."

Yao Jianhong nodded and said, "I understand."

In terms of marketing and promotion, Luo Sheng did not stingy with money, and immediately added: "What about offline stores? In this way, we will send a batch of prototypes to each offline store as soon as possible, and open it in advance to welcome consumers and let them come offline. The shop is one step ahead for free experience."

Everyone was startled when they heard it. This was no longer in the sequence of making plans. The boss really never played cards according to the routine.

Yao Jianhong quickly said: "Mr. Luo, the prototype products are not rich enough, will this..."

Feng Yi also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, boss, Bluestar Technology's "Family Bucket" is currently in closed beta, and it will take a month before the official version is launched."

The product hasn't been exposed to consumers at the most perfect time. Wouldn't it be a rhythm to explode in situ in case of a smashed reputation?

When Feng Yi and others heard Luo Sheng’s decision to say that they didn’t panic, it was a fake. For this product, the Blue Coast Company has not only paid the sweat of more than 7,000 engineers in the past three years, it is only in the middle. The investment is more than 178 billion.

Although the press conference was very successful, the news media has received a good response, and it has earned enough attention all over the world, but in fact there is still a rock hanging in everyone's heart.

Although the product is excellent, the ultimate success depends on the sales. This is a major matter related to the survival of the company. It is not known whether it is praised or not. If it is not praised, the Blue Coast company may go bankrupt overnight. Now he has more than 10 billion debts.

Although Luo Sheng is in the bottom line, many people have already had feelings for the Cote d'Azur company after more than a thousand day and night struggles.

Luo Sheng disagreed, and said confidently: "Just do it, trust me, don't you have confidence in Azure-X?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Seeing this scene, Luo Sheng said: “It’s okay if you have confidence? Just imagine, if users are still satisfied after the offline store experience, it will definitely be a bigger surprise when it is officially released. The comments from the technology community and the news media are In my eyes, they are worthless. They are like those film critics. They do not represent the preferences of the audience. The reason is the same. They also cannot represent the preferences of consumers. We should pay more attention to the reputation of consumers. What we have to do is to cultivate The reputation of consumers."

Everyone looked at each other, Luo Sheng's words always have a magical power, and his incomparable self-confidence is slowly infecting everyone.

"Furthermore, even if it fails? The big deal is to reopen quickly, and the technological precipitation will not be wiped out because of the failure of the product. Even if one or two billion is lost, I can afford to lose it. I will come to the bottom." Luo Sheng finally Said so.

Everyone: "..."

These words simply numb everyone's scalp, the key is to be unable to refute, even if it really fails, and Luo Sheng has all the trouble, compared to his current worth, he has only lost more than 8% of his wealth.

This matter was settled by Luo Sheng's decisive decision, and he would not give any opportunity to refute.

After the meeting, Yao Jianhong began to arrange. In the afternoon, a batch of prototypes began to be sent to major offline stores. In overseas markets, they were also directly airlifted to Europe via a plane that day.

On September 30, the direct-operated stores of the Cote d'Azur company in major markets opened ahead of schedule, offering consumers a free experience when entering the store.
