Global monopoly of technology

[Thanks and rewards and even more for the rudder master of "Where is she?"]

——

Domestic offline stores continue to be popular, and so are overseas.

In the European market, Côte d’Azur has more offline stores than in China, and every offline store is full of popularity. Mobile phone users who have learned the news through advertising or online are constantly rushing to the nearest offline store. Experience.

Luo Sheng has never been stingy with the budget for the creation of offline stores.

For example, a single flagship store in Germany, by the Danube River, was designed by an architectural firm called Modostudio. The overall appearance of this flagship store is a single herringbone geometric structure. At the same time, the glass and thick wood structure are used to design the local The natural landscape is unified with the unique historical context of the city.

Doing business in other people's homes must integrate into the local culture and customs. The highest level is to let local consumers produce the illusion of local enterprises.

Just like the flagship store in Norway, this single flagship store was created by an architect named Reiulf. The shape of the entire building is composed of loose angular geometry and covered by glass, which is combined and integrated in vertical stripes.

Detailed design is often difficult. Another reason is that Party A may not be able to bear the price. Fortunately, Luo Sheng is not short of money nor stingy with money.

In this flagship store in Norway, the glass in it can reach 30 meters, and the process level of monolithic cutting is expensive, and there are few manufacturers in the world that can make such glass.

Facts have proved that it is right to build a tall single flagship store.

These offline stores of Côte d'Azur, especially the single flagship store, are very eye-catching, whether they are domestic or foreign, and even those who have not heard of it will be attracted.

The single flagship store in Germany was very popular when it was opened to consumers on the first day. Facts have proved that mass consumers prefer touch-screen phones. Azure-X is the first to impress consumers with industrial design, and a product serves as a customer. When I saw it, I was half done, and even if I didn't buy it, I was able to achieve word-of-mouth benefits.

After opening the screen to unlock, it deeply attracted consumers.

For most Europeans, at the very beginning, they thought it was a product from Europe or North America, but after understanding it, they realized that this product was originally from Asia, so they thought it was a product of a Japanese company. People in Europe and the United States know Sony, and they know that Japan is also very famous in the field of consumer electronics.

As a result, they found that they were wrong. This product actually came from a country that was mysterious and backward in their eyes.

What surprised Europeans even more is that the concepts interpreted by such a tall flagship store and its products are all full of a sense of science and technology, and their inherent cognition makes them not even think that this may be a company from China. Products of technology companies.

As time goes by day by day, there are countless experience of major flagship stores, and they continue to be popular.

The huge publicity cost of US$180 million was quickly exhausted in the following October. Luo Sheng very decisively again approved a US$150 million publicity budget, which was mainly used for publicity in overseas markets.

In the past month, Azure-X of the Blue Coast company has become the subject of more than 3,000 magazine articles, with about 15 million searches on Google.

Many consumers have the first experience in major offline stores.

The product is not yet on the market, but it is the first to release the experience. Without sufficient confidence, few manufacturers dare to play like this.

Even those major international companies may not dare, after all, look at the total cost of Azure-X. Luo Sheng’s performance is one thing, but it can’t hide that it’s actually not a small sum. fact.

In addition, there are also a large number of technology bloggers introducing this phone on their homepage. They call it the "God Phone" without hesitation. Some of these technology bloggers are spontaneous, and some of them charge the Côte d’Azur advertising fee of.

All of this is impossible to prevent consumers from being affected, and the intuitive experience is the popularity of offline stores and the continuing popularity of topics on Reddit.

The Côte d’Azur company is changing from an almost unknown technology company to a new technology company that has gained a reputation all over the world.

Really rely on one product to make a global reputation.

...

Entering October, Luo Sheng began to actively prepare for the first global developer conference of AOS, and initiated invitations to major Internet companies at home and abroad.

The first AOS global developer conference is scheduled for October 5th.

...

North America, Google corporate headquarters.

At the moment, the AOS Developers Conference has three days left. At this moment, Google’s executives are gathering together to discuss the matter.

Eric Schmidt spoke at the meeting: "This is Luo Sheng’s invitation letter. He invited Google to participate in the AOS Developer Conference in the name of the Cote d’Azur Company. The letter shows that he sincerely invited one of Google’s A series of services including Google Search, Google Maps and other services can develop applications based on the AOS system."

Page sitting in the position of chief intersected his chin with his fingers crossed: "Have you read Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's comment on Azure-X?"

Everyone nodded.

With the end of the Azure-X mobile phone conference, time has passed day by day, and many bigwigs in the Silicon Valley technology circle have jumped out to comment. The current head of Microsoft is one of them, but he and the traditional mobile phone manufacturers It seems to be the same, not optimistic.

Ballmer commented publicly some time ago that his original words were this:

[Azure-X does not have any chance to gain important market share, there is no chance. This is an alternative product worth $600. If you really look at the 1 billion mobile phones that have been sold, I would rather reduce our software to 60%, or even 70% or 80%, are unwilling to take only 1% of the market share. Moreover, Azure-X's price tag of $600 and $800 is too expensive to sell.]

A Google executive who attended the meeting said: "I went to Europe some time ago and happened to experience a few minutes at an offline store of Azure-X mobile phone in the local area. Fit."

Sergey Brin: "Which doesn't fit?"

The other party replied: "Uh...what is not suitable is that the sales staff of the store said that the products on sale will be more perfect. Who knows, maybe some things of this mobile device were not fully displayed at the press conference. "

Larry Page immediately spoke: "I have different views from Ballmer. Even in the 1.0 version of the press conference, I think Azure-X should still be the most advanced and forward-looking electronic product in the past few years. I finished watching the press conference. He did a lot of things very well and made people very pleasant, so that you really want to forgive the small flaws that still exist on Azure-X."

Eric Schmidt said: “I think that this time Luo Sheng’s invitation, Google will go. Because he is still the head of Bluestar Technology, there is no doubt that some Bluestar Technology’s services are already fixed on AOS. If If Google does not go, it is very likely that he will make Bluestar Technology have to open up new business sectors, such as entering the map service to compete with Google Maps, and entering the search field to compete with Google Search."

Page said without hesitation: "I agree, then go."

Although in the search engine segment, Google has already dominated the world, including Google Maps services, etc., if Bluestar Technology also enters these markets, even if it is not afraid, it is definitely not what Google wants to see, and no one wants to make it for no reason. If a competitor comes out, it only adds to the variables.

The key is that Bluestar Technology should not be underestimated. Page has not forgotten the huge amount of financing of 7.5 billion US dollars some time ago. As long as Luo Sheng is willing, these funds are enough to enable Bluestar Technology Group to bring war to all corners of the Internet.

Facts have proved that Page’s judgment is correct. This is a backup option for Luo Sheng. The main purpose of financing $7.5 billion is to acquire Sun Computer Sun. If the acquisition does not achieve the expansion of cloud computing services, but other than that The other is to enrich the AOS ecological chain at the software level through Bluestar Technology Group.

Relevant Internet services should be moved to the mobile Internet as much as possible. It is not fake for everyone to pick up firewood, but no one is there to play, and you have to play by yourself. At least Bluestar Technology Group can set up the ecological chain.

On October 3rd, Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt was invited to go there in person. In addition, the head of Yahoo and other Silicon Valley bigwigs also went.
