Global monopoly of technology

North America, Seattle single flagship store.

As early as a week and a half ago, a large number of U.S. consumers had already queued up for purchases at the Côte d’Azur company’s offline flagship store in Seattle. This may be the first time for a North American mobile phone consumer to purchase a product from China. Electronic products are so crazy.

It was not easy for Côte d'Azur to enter the North American market. There were many twists and turns in the middle, which delayed a whole year, but after unremitting efforts, it finally entered.

Prior to this, Zhongxing mobile phone had entered the North American market, and now it has gained more than 30 million users in this market, but it is still insignificant compared with the current Côte d’Azur.

Everything has two sides. Consumers in North America have been appetite for almost a whole year, and the new launch is simply hungry.

The haze of the subprime mortgage crisis cannot stop the enthusiasm of consumers, especially for advanced technology products. As long as they can impress the hearts of European and American consumers, they will not be stingy with the dollar bills in their hands. The price of six or seven hundred dollars is not cheap. , But it is not to the point where consumption is not affordable. Even if the economic crisis is coming, the worst situation is about 10% of the unemployed.

Isn’t that 90% of the people are not unemployed, and the target group is the middle-income group, Luo Sheng’s goal is just to win 1% of the global market share is success.

"I want to buy a 16GB model, thank you."

"16GB model, thank you."

"US$799, is it cash or credit card?"

"Swipe your card."

At this moment, the popularity of this single store in Seattle, which opened for the first time, is spectacular. There is an endless stream of consumers who come to order, and there is a long queue, which is extremely popular.

As an ordinary consumer, the Azure series smartphones of the Azure Coast have beautiful appearance industrial design, revolutionary desktop-level user interface, rich application store, Bluestar Technology Family Bucket, Google Family Bucket, Yahoo Family Bucket and other large and small Three-party developer applications have everything.

After purchasing the product, many users eagerly entered the AOS application store and downloaded the major APP applications of Bluestar Technology Group, whether it is social networking sites BlueSpace, MicroBlog, Reddit, or Google applications, these are all It is a must-have APP for smartphones.

But the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the music store MusicSpace. Now that Apple finally knows the hardware that its opponents rely on, the [MusicSpace+Azure] combination has begun to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on Apple's [iTunes+iPod] combination.

As Motorola’s CEO said, people only bring three things when they travel: wallets, keys and mobile phones.

This kind of advantage is unmatched by the iPod. Users who own an Azure smartphone have no reason to spend a few hundred dollars extra to buy an iPod, because downloading the music store MusicSpace through the Azure mobile phone can get the iPod’s music experience, and even have more It has a better user experience.

This blow to Apple is self-evident. The Azure Coast Company released its new product Azure-3G for the first time in a year, and this year it also included the North American market. The popularity of its sale has slumped Apple's stock price.

In order to regain the downturn, the leader of Joe’s bet this time on a product that has been shelved-the tablet iPad.

The long-prepared iPhone project was temporarily shelved by him. The arrogant Joe gang did not want Apple to become a follower of the Côte d'Azur. He still hopes to be a game changer, so he has high hopes for the tablet.

As early as 2000, the iPad was already an extremely important project within Apple. It started as a secret project based on multi-touch screen research and development, and has been carefully protected by Joe’s gang. However, in the end, the multi-touch screen technology was adopted by Azure The coast took the lead.

Two years later, Apple's hardware development department had the first iPad prototype, but due to the heavy weight of the machine and poor battery performance, the tablet plan was postponed indefinitely.

Later, it was Motorola’s CEO who approached Joe to make a mobile phone together with Joe’s help. The result was a miserable failure. The iPhone plan was brewing. As a result, the iPhone plan was not negotiated with Luo Sheng because of the licensing issues of multiple touch screens and other technologies. Was seriously delayed, and the Blue Coast company launched the Azure mobile phone in 2006, the iPhone is now facing the awkward situation of difficult delivery.

The current situation for Apple is very bad and even frustrating. In order to regain its glory, the iPad plan, which has been in the cold for five years, was once again "flopped" by the Joe gang.

Time is getting closer to the end of the year, and the subprime mortgage crisis is still in a quagmire. The three major banks of Bank of America, Citibank and Morgan Stanley have reached an agreement and agreed to spend at least 75 billion US dollars to help the market out of the crisis. Then Bank of America led Citi , Motor and Chase raised US$80 billion for the Super Fund.

But even this cannot prevent the overall deterioration of North American property market indicators. There is already a bottomless pit. Existing home sales in October have been declining for eight consecutive months. In the third quarter, the quarterly rate of the S&P National House Price Index fell 1.7%, a 21-year history. The biggest single-quarter drop on the previous year.

In mid-November, technology stocks finally couldn't stand it and began to show a downward trend across the board. Bluestar Technology Group’s stock fell by 3.63% to US$137.65 per share, and the company’s total market value fell below the US$200 billion mark. Temporarily locked at 199.58 billion US dollars.

However, in an environment where the technology sector has fallen across the board, the market value of Bluestar Technology has been second only to the number one Microsoft company, while the market value of Google, ranked third, has fallen to $171.4 billion.

The winter of capital is coming.

And this is just a cold wind that has just blown over, and a more violent storm is still behind.

Luo Sheng occasionally pays attention to the trend of the general environment, but under the panic in the market, he is not at all panicked. Bluestar Technology Group has received the third financing of US$4 billion from Goldman Sachs earlier. The company's current book value With funds exceeding 16 billion U.S. dollars, Bluestar Technology has sufficient cash flow in the winter when cash is king.

On the afternoon of November 17, the "Virtual Idol" Development Department.

"This is a set of intelligent voice software system I initially wrote, but it needs to be further optimized and upgraded, and the follow-up development is left to you." At this moment, Luo Sheng convened Xu Yong and other members of the technical department for a meeting.

"For Hatsune Miku?" Xu Yong immediately took the file brought by Luo Sheng into the computer and looked at it.

"Not all, this voice software system is owned by the Blue Coast, but it is open for authorization to Bluestar Technology." Luo Sheng said, although the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, the brothers have to make clear calculations and the process must be done well. Gossip about this on Wall Street.

After a while, Luo Sheng added: “The product has a high degree of linkage and complementarity. This software system is actually an intelligent voice butler assistant I developed for the Azure series of mobile phones. For the avatar, I choose Hatsune Miku.”

He Chao said exhilaratingly: "From film and television, music, endorsements, e-sports, etc.... Boss, this chess game is very big."

Even if it is a superstar among human beings, no one can obtain such a huge resource to praise, but Hatsune Miku enjoys the promotion resources that make countless stars envy and envy, it is simply the rhythm of the "pro-daughter" of Bluestar Technology.

To make "Hatsune Miku" popular, and to link with the voice assistant of Azure series mobile phones, the dead houses have a new reason to change mobile phones.

A little burst, more blossoms, this is the advantage of the family barrel linkage, this advantage makes other peers envy and hate.

The mutual linkage between the major products can form a strong ecological closed loop, so that more points will blossom. It is not expected that a user will immediately like Bluestar Technology or all the products of the Blue Coast, but as long as one of the product services can impress users After that, consumption will naturally increase.

The value mining for potential customers is unparalleled.
