Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 353 [Azure-3 Press Conference]

New headquarters on the French Riviera.

On the morning of September 22, Luo Sheng came to the company’s new headquarters, "The City of Galaxy", which is the newest landmark in Sioux City, and is separated from the other major landmark, Bluestar Technology’s new headquarters, "Mobius Ring". hope.

Both have a close relationship with Luo Sheng, and the two major building complexes and the technology complex are also created by the architect Zaha Hadid.

The Galaxy City has been fully put into use by the end of the year, but it can already be used in some areas. This time the new product launch conference of the Blue Coast will be set in a large indoor party venue in the Galaxy City.

"Mr. Luo, in terms of ticket sales for the press conference, more than 7,500 tickets were sold out within three days, which is a small profit." Yao Jianhong who was accompanying him smiled.

This time the conference is no longer free, but the way to sell tickets.

Today's Côte d'Azur company is recognized globally as the leader in the field of smartphones, and its popularity is not comparable to that of three years ago.

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Venue maintenance fees are also very expensive. If you can earn a little, you can earn a little. If you can earn a little, you can let it go. Only then can the company become bigger and stronger...Let's go and look inside."

The Galaxy City headquarters can be said to be magnificent, and a large number of relevant pictures can also be found online, all of which were taken by netizens who eat melon or some tourists in Sioux City.

Sioux City, which has money, is now planning a new, larger and more complete airport, and the entire city's infrastructure facilities are being upgraded.

It is said that Zaha Hadid also took the list. This “deconstructivist” architect is very productive. Secondly, the three major landmark buildings in Sioux City were originally from her, and this list also has potential advantages.

"Yes, well done, let's rehearse in the next three days." Luo Sheng came to the press conference and inspected it. Generally speaking, he was satisfied. The staff on site were still busy setting up the venue.

The third-generation Azure smartphones are still contracted by BYD. With the help of the Azure Coast, BYD has already faintly challenged Fushikang on the road of foundry.

This time, the first batch of orders for the third-generation blue mobile phone is 75 million units. The company's internal performance prospects strive to achieve annual shipments of new products of more than 70 million units, accounting for about 6% of the total global mobile phone shipments.

We must know that when the Azure mobile phone first came out in 2007, the company's market share expectations were met as long as it reached 1%.

That is a shipment of 10 million units.

Counting from today, there is only the last week to countdown to the product launch. The eyes of the technology community are all focused on this, including users of consumer electronics products all over the world.

It has been two years since the Côte d’Azur has released a new product. In the last week, the publicity has also started as scheduled, and it has begun to warm up globally.

The Internet is hotly discussing the new product launch conference of the Blue Coast Company, which mobilized the appetite of countless consumers for a while.

...

On September 27, the Côte d’Azur, known as changing the world and redefining smartphones in 2006, finally ushered in today’s time to launch its latest products after two years of silence.

Global media focused on this conference. The domestic version of Bluestar Video and the international version of BluestarVideo were broadcast live. The Blue Coast official also prepared a professional English translator for this so that overseas users who follow the product can learn about the conference. specific contents.

As for other languages, wait for the media or some video UP hosts to translate subtitles or something.

In addition, other executives from other manufacturers are also very concerned throughout the entire process, such as Xiaomi’s Rebs, vivo’s Shen Wei, and Coolpad, not to mention, the same is true for large foreign manufacturers, such as HTC , Samsung, and traditional mobile phone manufacturers, etc.

It must be said that some counterfeit phones have appeared in Huaqiangbei. The appearance of the industrial design is almost 95% or more. It is really difficult to distinguish whether this is a genuine Azure phone or a counterfeit device from the appearance.

But unfortunately, the internal operating system and hardware are something that Huaqiangbei absolutely cannot handle, especially the chip, which can never be copied.

In fact, whether it is a mobile phone CPU or a computer CPU, as far as high-end chips are involved, there will be basically no fake and inferior goods. At most, only second-hand goods may be packaged as original goods in the market.

The complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process and the depth of global collaboration lies there.

Suppose which copycat company can imitate CPUs with the same performance, either by the state or by various venture capital companies waving banknotes and using the name copycat?

...

Early this morning, at the dawn of dawn, the staff behind the scenes were already busy.

At about 8:40 in the morning, the audience who purchased the tickets entered the Galaxy City. Of course, some media guests were invited directly, but about 70% of the audience were consumer users and die-hard fans.

It is the first time that ordinary people who eat melons enter the new headquarters "City of Galaxy" on the blue coast, and it is also the expression of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The building has an obvious Hardy style, that is, no obvious edges and corners can be seen, but at a glance, it is full of the sense of sight of geometric structure, which in turn brings the perfect sublimation of the full sense of technology.

"This is the new headquarters on the Riviera?"

"To be honest, I really envy the employees of the Riviera. It's not too good to work in such a place."

"No wonder everyone wants to recognize Master Luo as their boss, and they want to enter Bluestar Technology or the Blue Coast. The'best employer' deserves its name."

"The benefits are so good that people envy and hate them. Even the company that buys houses for employees has subsidies. Who doesn't want to work with Mr. Luo?"

"Well, the leader successfully redefines the technology company in my mind with the new headquarters on the Blue Coast. This is the real technology company. At first glance, it is high-tech and high-end."

The audience who entered the conference venue were talking about it along the way, and the media reporters who came here were also capturing the scenes. The new headquarters of the Cote d'Azur company was also the subject of coverage, which is also worthy of a big book feature.

However, the new headquarters has not yet been officially put into operation, this time it is only the first launch venue to be put into use, because of the extraordinary significance.

...

At nine o'clock exactly, the press conference was already full of people, and there were no empty seats.

When Luo Sheng walked from the backstage to the stage with his classic IT styling, he just showed up and detonated the atmosphere of the audience. The warm applause lasted for a long time, with some fanatical analysis shouts.

In this situation, at this moment, many friends and business leaders who pay attention to this conference are all envious. It is an index of real envy of Luo Sheng's influence and popularity.

He broke the national boundaries with amazing and excellent products, which made consumers all over the world sought after.

"Good morning, it's really cool to be here with everyone." On the stage, Luo Sheng added with a smile: "Thank you for your enthusiasm!"

The foreigners at the scene all bring translators and professional staff perform on-site translation, but only English translation is available. Foreigners who come to the scene can understand English. After all, this is the current international lingua franca.

"Today we prepared super exciting content for our press conference. We have made great efforts to this end. I am very excited because today's attendees have reached more than 8,000 people. This is the limit that the venue can accommodate. They come from In 70 different countries and regions, the tickets for the conference were also sold out within three days. We apologize to those customers who failed to show up because there are no tickets available. Here is the largest indoor room we can arrange The meeting place."

Luo Sheng's conversation turned around and smiled: "But you can watch it through live web channels such as Bluestar Video or BluestarVideo, and the conference will be broadcast live worldwide."

The only people in the industry who heard his words were amazed and filled with emotion. The Bluestar Technology Group, the world's most valuable technology company, was also created by this man.

On the stage, Luo Sheng held a small wireless remote control in his hand, and the big screen behind it also appeared.

"Before introducing the new product, let me say a few very important good news. As of last week, we have more than 300,000 applications in the AOS app store, which has exceeded 7 billion downloads, which has exceeded the total population of the earth. . But I prefer the following set of data. Everyone knows that 70% of the revenue of the AOS App Store is owned by developers. So how much money have we paid to developers so far?"

Having said that, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control and looked back at the giant screen: "Just a few days ago, this figure reached 3.01 billion US dollars!"

There was a burst of applause as soon as the voice fell, and many third-party developers from home and abroad also came to the scene. Although the Blue Coast company drew 30% of the share, it is very important for the management of the AOS application ecology in the Blue Coast. Satisfied, this is much better than Luo Sheng's previous iOS ecosystem.

Many ordinary developers have a try in the AOS ecosystem, and they have made a lot of money, and have great confidence to continue to work in it. For users, the experience is much better than that of open source ecosystems such as Android, at least not You will be pushed to give up treatment by various advertisements that make you irresistible.

Luo Sheng on the stage said: “This is why the AOS ecosystem can become the most dynamic development community in the world. A good ecosystem is not only a better experience for users, but also for developers. This is a two-way positive cycle, and we hope to continue to maintain it."

"Next, let's talk about Azure mobile phone Azure. The media is full of various third-party data, market statistics reports, etc., some are reliable, some are pure nonsense. I have prepared two sets of data here for your reference."

Speaking of Luo Sheng, he pressed the small remote control in his hand and turned his eyes to the screen behind him again: "The first set of data is the report on the market share of North American smartphones in the second quarter of this year. BlackBerry has a 35% share. Ranked first, the second is Azure mobile phone, with a share of about 33%, Windows mobile phone ranked third with 19%, Android mobile phone 9%, and others."

Luo Sheng turned back to face the audience: "You must know that RIM is one year older than me, and the Blue Coast was only five years old, and it entered the North American market more than a year later than other regions, and the Azure mobile phone market The share is 3.6 times that of Android."

There was warm applause at the scene.

After a while, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control and looked back at the big screen: "The second set of data is also from North America. This data is a survey report on the use of mobile browsers. Azure accounts for 68%, which is the second third of Android 22%. These are the latest data reports."

It is simply the show off of Chiguoguo to stimulate the majority of friends and businessmen. Now the major domestic mobile phone manufacturers that have just been established will not release their first products until next year.

One is waiting for the Côte d'Azur to release the open source system WOS. The second is that manufacturing is really not just a matter of doing it. Supply chain, payment, R&D, talents, etc. all have to be prepared, unlike Internet companies that can immediately launch products.

We must know that the blue coast is full of strength and Luo Sheng's link ratio also took three years to release the first product. Other friends do not have his financial and R&D capabilities.

"Let's go back to the phone itself." Luo Sheng's voice resounded through the audience again, and he said methodically: "Today in 2006, the release of Azure-X changed everything. In 2007, we added 3G support. , In 2008... blank. This year we did not release new products, so that it is today in 2009, so that we will take the biggest step since the first generation of products today."

"So today, we launched Azure-3. If Azure in 2006 redefines smartphones, then Azure-3 launched today redefines Azure phones; if the introduction of the first two generations of products means interpretation It is the success of the participant’s role, so the positioning of Azure-3, which is launched today, belongs to the disruptor of the industry."

Luo Sheng's words sounded through the audience, and there was a sense of confidence and pride between the lines.

As soon as the voice fell, the audience resounded with endless applause.

"Oh--!"

Fans are shouting and screaming, it seems they are super idols in their hearts, speaking domineeringly.

In Luo Sheng's tone, the product released today will subvert people's imagination.

Consumers and users have a sense of expectation, and media professionals are constantly looking at it, and industry professionals and friends and businessmen are a little surprised.
