Global monopoly of technology

The Azure-5 conference was officially announced on the same day and it became a popular search term. A poster triggered a spectacular event, and its status as the king of the smartphone industry can be described as a glance.

This is the kind of influence that friends and businessmen dream of.

Netizens and consumers who eat melon found that this time flickered, and the last time the Azure-4 flagship was released, the Azure Coast is just another three-year window.

But this is no coincidence.

Other mobile phone manufacturers basically maintain the frequency of releasing a flagship phone in one year, and several models continue to be on sale throughout the year.

Only the way on the Côte d’Azur is unique, and no friend dared to imitate it. A company of such a large scale, looking at its series of products, found that it could be counted by just one hand.

However, each product is an unparalleled classic, and it has also established the brand image of "A blue product, must be a boutique" in the industry and consumer groups.

The product launch is slow. Consumers firmly believe that the Riviera is to polish more outstanding products, so they can tolerate bouncing tickets and the slow release of new products, and they are willing to wait, and they also like to hear and laugh while waiting.

And this kind of excellent boutique route is not something ordinary manufacturers can follow. Without the high profits of the Côte d'Azur, the end of this game is starvation.

Therefore, other friends and merchants must constantly release new products to impulse, in order to maintain the brand's popularity.

If you follow the route of the Côte d’Azur and do not produce new products in two or three years, not to mention whether technological research and development can make a difference, and disappear in front of the public for so long, your brand has been forgotten by consumers. Yes, it must be the rhythm of bankruptcy.

Obviously, friends and businessmen do not dare to gamble because they cannot afford this kind of risk.

Friends businessmen must continue to launch new products. They cannot learn from the new products of the azure coast and get together with various innovative technologies. Friends businessmen can set a new product for sale as long as they break through a small technology and make a big announcement.

But the Azure series brand has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is a god-like existence among many smart phone brands today. With its current status in the hearts of consumers, it will not be forgotten every five years.

In fact, there is another reason for the "Craftsman" style route of the Côte d’Azur, which is also a way for friends to survive. Once the Côte d’Azur launches new products, suppliers must give priority to receiving Azure orders, and other mobile phone brands will either stay in line and wait in line. , Or pay a higher foundry fee in exchange for production capacity.

Smart phones are a typical intensive high-tech industry. It is impossible for any manufacturer, including the Côte d'Azur, to produce all by itself, from screws to final products.

Azure mobile phone is the "daddy" of the supplier, and the supplier is the "daddy" of other mobile phone brands, the difference is big.

The Côte d'Azur uses its position and influence in the industry to control the ecological stability of the entire industrial chain invisibly, and it is just right for three years.

If the time is too short, the business pyramid structure will lose its stability if friends cannot survive.

The time is too long, and the supplier’s life is not easy. Their profits will not go up, and the industrial upgrading may not be able to keep up with the pace of the Côte d’Azur. At that time, it will drag down the pace of the new products of the Côte d’Azur. In the end, it has to stop. If you have to step down and wait, even if you have to pull it, it would be more than worthwhile.

With the official announcement of the Côte d’Azur that it will release new products this year, friends and businessmen understand it and have new ideas to learn from.

However, they still don’t know that the job this time is more difficult to copy than before. In the days to come, it will become more and more difficult. Manufacturers without technical strength will be gradually eliminated. Almost every time the Riviera releases a new product, there are manufacturers in the industry that do not operate. Continue to transform or go bankrupt, because technological iterations cannot keep up.

It can be seen that the competition in this industry is fierce and cruel.

At the same time, friends and businessmen also know that in the next year, life will be difficult, and profits will shrink almost invariably.

Over the years, the Côte d’Azur and its friends seem to have reached an unwritten agreement that is quite tacit, everyone earns money in time periods, and new Azure products are on the market. All friends and merchants are helpless and have to give way. Fight again in two years. Those who are not afraid of death can also directly harden steel.

Most of the friends do not have this confidence, so they can only choose to avoid their edge for the time being, and wait for the heat to pass, and then brush their presence. By that time, the homework will probably be copied. This has been the case for so many years. This is the current situation. Industry Status.

In the year when the Côte d'Azur released new products, the friends and merchants all chose to collectively turn off the fire as usual. They were also holding back their big moves. They would wait until the second year to fight for the last 20% of the industry's profits.

Commercial competition is such a reality. Everyone wants to live better and live well, but first they have to live.

It has been ten years since the Côte d’Azur redefines smartphones. During this period, smartphone brands have sprung up like mushrooms. The glorious era of counterfeit phones has passed, the old international manufacturers are lonely, and new brands are also fighting brutally. Mass decline and bankruptcy.

Manufacturers that are still alive, such as Xiaomi, Honor, VIVO, etc., none of these brands are simple. They must have mastered the market's survival code in this cruel market competition environment and must have their own unique competitiveness. , And did not master, such as Coolpad, 360, these have now been forgotten by consumers.

Out of the game.

...

Day after day passed. After the launch of the conference tickets, they were sold out on the same day. A total of 7,000 tickets were sold. The 13 million ticket revenue was almost a steady income for the conference.

For so many years, it can be said that the Côte d’Azur has not raised the fare is very conscientious. You must know that there is inflation in this world.

If the venue could not be expanded, most of the 10,000 tickets would be sold out. Many people who eat melon will not only go to the conference to watch the press conference, but also get the tickets for a day trip to the Galaxy City of the Blue Coast headquarters.

You should know that except for the official employees of the Côte d'Azur, ordinary people generally cannot enter. Only during the press conference can they get in through the ticket to see the mysterious veil of the black technology research and development center of the Côte d'Azur.

...

Wednesday, September 28th, arrived as scheduled. Today's global technology circle is destined to be the protagonist of Azure-5.

Consumers or tech enthusiasts who can't go to the scene are watching the live broadcast. Most of the people who bought the tickets have already arrived in Sioux City three days earlier. They were already waiting at the Galaxy City headquarters early this morning, and it was open around 8 o'clock. , Admission with the ticket in hand.

At the gate, long-awaited audiences and media guests have filed in. The Galaxy City headquarters is very large and is an independent complex composed of multiple buildings. It is an independent high-end ecological community, and there is even an independent ground light rail inside. The line runs around the city of Galaxy for 24 hours, which shows that its scale is huge.

Rich is willful.

After entering the interior, there will be related staff and signs to guide the off-site personnel to the designated place of the press conference.

The R&D area is forbidden from outsiders. Even if it is an internal official employee, some areas with different permissions are not allowed to set foot. Although this is a place that media reporters dream of wanting to go in, they want to touch it without permission. Going in almost exists in the theory.

The venue of the conference is still the original multimedia event hall, and many of the audience who participated in this conference also participated last time, which is already quite familiar.

By about 8:40, 90% of the audience had already entered the conference site. With the tickets in hand, they were seated in the designated position. The media reporters were debugging the equipment. There was also noisy discussion at the scene.

Ordinary consumers or fan viewers take out their mobile phones to shoot vlogs on the spot, and they are basically all Azure-4 mobile phones.

Media guests and reporters, those who attend the conference with a work nature, basically have a laptop on their lap. From the perspective of the back of the conference hall, there are more than 1,000 laptop screens lit up in the audience. , It's spectacular.

This is the popularity of the Côte d’Azur. Even if it is announced that it will return after three years, the atmosphere on the scene is a perfect interpretation of the industry’s unshakable status as the king.

One minute and one second passed, and there was about a minute left until nine o'clock exactly. At this time, the main light of the conference hall was suddenly turned off, and the auditorium area appeared dim, with only some laptop or mobile phone screens reflecting off. Halo.

The moment the lights were turned off, all the audience present knew that the long-awaited Azure-5 conference had begun.

The noisy discussion gradually receded, and everyone's eyes turned to the big stage ahead. The super-large 4K HD giant screen on the stage is now a LOGO trademark of the Blue Coast.

At nine o'clock exactly, the scene that had just been quiet for less than a minute immediately detonated the audience when a man walked to the midfield of the stage. All the people sitting in the auditorium stood up and gave warm applause and screams. .

Fans stood up for the first time, and some of the guests and industry insiders who participated in the meeting took the initiative to stand up and applaud, and some followed up. At this time, sitting still seems to have no EQ, and it will make you feel embarrassed.

This is the function of "potential", and "potential" is unstoppable when it is formed. Who dares not give the archbishop face to the industry now?Even, being able to come is to earn face.

"Come here! The spicy blue silver finally appeared."
