Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 188 [Fengshen, debut is the peak]

It's really shocking, just a built-in 3-megapixel camera makes people feel extremely shocking, and the industrial design of Azure-X is equally shocking.

Only mobile phone users who have been using plastic keyboards can feel the shock when they see such an industrial design for the first time.

It simply subverts their inherent perception of smartphones.

Smartphones can still be made like this?

Could this conference really give birth to a revolutionary product that shocked the world?

The Western media couldn't help but get into a tangle. On the one hand, they hoped to see Luo Sheng make a fool of themselves, but on the other hand, they were really shocked.

On the stage, Luo Sheng said: "In addition to these, there are some high-tech that cannot be seen. There are three most advanced sensing devices built into Azure-X. The first is distance sensing, which can sense approaching objects, so When you put the phone next to your ear to answer a call, it will automatically turn off the screen and touch sensing, which saves power and will not accidentally touch the screen when your face touches the screen when answering a call. Screen."

"The second is ambient light sensing, which senses ambient light conditions and automatically adjusts screen brightness to suit the current environment, resulting in a better user experience while saving power."

"Finally, there is the gravitational acceleration sensor, which can detect the change from vertical mode to horizontal mode. This is really cool. I will show it to you later. Forget it, I will show it to you now."

Luo Sheng, who was in the middle of the stage, turned around and walked to the workbench on the side after saying this.

Could it be that everything he said was true?

The press conference had already been arranged for this, and Luo Sheng had been rehearsing for three days for this press conference.

There are several Azure-X prototypes on the workbench to ensure backup. There is also a special playback system that can transmit digital video, which can be placed on the projector through the connection cable and finally synchronized with the big screen on site. The audience is through the big screen. The screen can clearly see the interface of the prototype.

Soon, a sub-screen popped up on the right side of the big screen, showing Luo Sheng operating the prototype. He was holding a white prototype, but the big screen showed a black one.

At this moment, everyone focused on the prototype in Luo Sheng's hands on the sub-screen.

Witnessed by everyone, he pressed the power button.

The screen wakes up.

At the same time, the synchronized picture on the big screen on the stage also lit up.

Luo Sheng stared at the prototype in his hand: "Did you see it? The screen was awakened, and did you see an icon below? Just touch the icon with your finger, and then swipe over."

After speaking, it was demonstrated on the spot.

More than a thousand pairs of eyes present witnessed this moment with their own eyes, Luo Sheng tapped the screen and swiped to the right.

The phone is unlocked, and the main interface is presented.

This scene made the audience feel the needle drop. All the witnesses, whether they were mainlanders or foreigners, had an indescribable shock in their eyes at this moment.

It was only two seconds of silence, and without warning, the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

"Oh!!!"

The thunderous applause was mixed with excited shouts. With a slight slide, he instantly conquered everyone in the audience.

Although this mobile phone is still very backward in Luo Sheng's eyes, this is the only three and a half years that the Côte d'Azur can develop from scratch and with the current level of communication and semiconductor infrastructure. the ultimate product.

Although still far behind in his opinion, that's because he sees the vision decades into the future.

And in this era, he slipped gently, marking an era.

The era of smartphones in the true sense has been drawn.

It also opened the era of mobile Internet.

A whole new era has opened the door to mankind.

At this moment, Luo Sheng looked back at the auditorium. Only then did he notice that apart from the thunderous applause from the audience, everyone stood up. Compared to before, the audience was almost boiling.

Even harsh Westerners, Western media people who wanted to see Luo Sheng's jokes, were conquered at this moment.

Luo Sheng looked back at the screen and touched the screen interface and said, "This is the main interface of Azure-X, let's experience the experience, click the MusicSpace application icon to enter, and if you want to exit, press the year in the middle to return. to the main interface."

It is worth mentioning that MusicSpace is still the inner version, but it is fully enough to meet the needs of the current display. The domestic version of Bluestar Music is still very different from it. After the split and reorganization, there are two independent applications.

"There are several icons at the bottom of the screen, playlists, artists, MVs, more, etc., so how do you browse the song list? I will show you, just touch the screen with your finger and swipe gently, and there is a list of artists, such as Let's just choose Avril, you need to click, here are all the works about Avril, it's super cool, isn't it?"

Before Luo Sheng could finish his words, the applause that had just subsided rose again, and the audience was once again a sensation, with shouts and applause incessant.

More and more audiences are getting more and more excited.

An industry insider who attended the meeting muttered to himself: "I'm so stupid, it has subverted my perception of mobile phones."

At the same time, Luo Sheng spoke again, and the applause just fell.

"Click to enter the play interface, look at this gorgeous album cover, a very beautiful and cool female singer, I like this little rock witch, she is as cool as Azure-X and has no friends."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Avril is still one of the most popular female singers in the world.

Luo Sheng showed and introduced: "Here is the volume control, and there are more cool operations. Now I will demonstrate it to you. When you click and touch the album cover, turn around to display the lyrics. Back, what's even cooler is that no matter in the album cover interface or the lyrics interface, as long as you double-click continuously, you can display all the works under the same album list. The operation is very simple. Of course, you can also click on the [Album List] in the upper right corner. It does it, you can play whatever you want. Go back to the main playlist, and there are more personalized features, click to create a personal favorite playlist, check the song and you're done, it's very simple."

When Luo Sheng said this, he just turned his head to look at the auditorium, and people once again gave warm applause and screams.

"Let's take a look at the video function, enter the Bluestar video application, it is still a beta version, the official version will be completed before the product is launched, but I think it is already perfect, but we need to improve it, OK, let's get down to business, let's put a paragraph video."

When entering this demonstration session, the backstage staff and engineers all sweated, thinking in their hearts: Boss, don't click online videos, I'm really worried that the Internet can't stand it.

"Click the icon in the lower right corner to play in full screen." Of course, Luo Sheng didn't click on the online video, but opened the offline video. At this moment, the movie "Titanic" is playing.

Luo Sheng introduced while operating the interface: "There is also a touch screen playback function, so we can play a whole movie. This is Azure-X, so cool, right?"

"Oh--!"

There were people at the scene who were booing and shouting, and applauded once again.

Luo Sheng smiled and said to the audience: "I once showed the Azure-X mobile phone show to the boss of a supply chain partner, and then I asked him how he felt? He said, from the moment you swipe to unlock the screen, I will fascinated..."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience burst into laughter, and now everyone is extremely excited, and they are all amazed and shocked by this work.

It can be said that this new product launch has opened a new door to their imagination, and an industrial electrical product can also be designed so beautifully and coolly.

"Let's get down to business, let's move on to the next session. Let me show you the most revolutionary phone function of Azure-X. What is a god-level application? The answer is that it is a god-level application that can make calls." Luo Sheng looked at the audience and revealed With an unbelievable look on his face, everyone was watching him. No one laughed at his confident side now, and even those foreigners who had the heart to watch jokes had to accept it.

He's really showing the world how he's redefining the smartphone, and it's happening right now.

"It's incredible, isn't it? Azure-X can actually make calls? And how troublesome is it to make calls on most mobile phones? It's a key press, and most people don't actually have any phone numbers in their address books. They basically have no phone numbers. Using the recent call records as the address book, how many of you here are like this? I bet more than half of them are."

Many people smiled slightly, and the person who laughed was obviously right.

"So, we want to give you a unique way to use the address book. You can download all the contacts of PC and Mac to Azure-X synchronously, and then you have the contact information of each contact at any time."

Luo Sheng said in an orderly manner:

"Azure-X adopts the most popular international standard, GSM and its derivatives, and will support 3G and other more cool features in the future. Of course, Azure-X also supports wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions."

When I heard the Bluetooth function and Wi-Fi function, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Luo Sheng continued to operate and introduced: "In addition, I want to show you a few other things, phone functions, photo albums, calendars, text messages, Internet access functions, etc. These common functions in other mobile phones are changed in Azure-X. It is extraordinary, allowing these ordinary functions to have an unprecedented evolution."

"First enter the phone function, there are several icons below, personal favorites, recent calls, address book, dial pad, the way to browse the address book is also to slide the list, click on a list of contacts, there are his detailed information , email, phone number, etc.; it's an SMS text message, there can be several conversations, in the form of conversations, and you'll get a reminder every time you get a new message..."

Luo Sheng showed these functions to the audience one by one, showing that you can choose your favorite music as ringtones, showing you can choose your favorite photos as desktop wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper, showing using Azure-X mobile phone to make calls, etc...

During this period, the show was interrupted by applause and shouts from the scene one after another. No one expected that the press conference would turn out like this, and it would be shocking beyond measure.

"There is no doubt that we have redefined the smartphone."

Luo Sheng came to the midfield of the stage: "Now let's take a look at the Internet access function of Azure-X, which is a very important part of Azure-X. We have rich HTML emails, which is the first time in the world that there are smart mobile terminal devices in the world. Rich mail application, can use any IMAP or POP3 mail service, it will connect with your favorite mail service, you can put everything on the server, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Mac Mail, Google Gmail, etc."

"OK, without further ado, let's show you some more incredible features, an Internet world that runs on your hands, a product that can put the Internet in your pocket."

As soon as these words came out, Graman was forced to, and the audience burst into warm applause.

"This is the best browser in the world we use on mobile phones. It's not a wap browser, but a real browser. It runs on Azure-X." Luo Sheng said that he went to the workbench again to pick up the mobile phone. .

"emmm... just choose the blue space social networking site, load it and see if it's super cool? It's not like your existing smartphone gives you the wap version of blue space, shown on Azure-X It is a complete blue space page, you can slide up and down, although these views can see the entire page, but the text is too small, so we designed a double-click operation, just double-click any area to zoom in on that position, or you can use two fingers At the same time the touch screen expands and shrinks, just like that, and more importantly, it's our patents, and we want to protect those patents."

After finishing speaking, Luo Sheng gave a demonstration on the spot, and the scene was once again filled with warm applause.

Luo Sheng smiled and said to the audience: "If you have ever used the so-called browser on your mobile phone, you will understand how cool it is. There is no harm without comparison. This is a revolutionary breakthrough. From now on, your mobile phone has The real internet, portable mobile internet."

There was thunderous applause again, and some people in the industry also realized a very important problem in the shock.

Mobile Internet!

The world is about to change!

At this moment, all industry participants realized that an unprecedented new outlet was coming.

The Internet world is about to usher in an unprecedented subversive innovation. Luo Sheng's slide has ushered in a new era of the Internet world!

As the applause fell again, Luo Sheng also put down the prototype and returned to the midfield of the stage again, holding a small remote control in his hand.

"The battery life of many mobile phones on the market is not very good, but we have achieved eight and a half hours of battery life, including phone calls, videos, music, Internet access, and 26 hours of battery life if you are listening to music, which is better than previous smart phones. Phones are much better."

"There are too many revolutionary functions, and it is impossible to explain them all in the limited time at the press conference. There are a lot of innovative technologies in Azure-X, and we have done the best in all aspects of design, at least 5 times ahead of the industry. more than a year."

When Luo Sheng once again said that he was ahead by 5 years, the people present no longer had the mentality of questioning or even sneering as before.

On the contrary, the launch continues to this day, and after witnessing this series of groundbreaking features, they feel that they are more than 5 years ahead.

At this moment, Luo Sheng's voice resounded throughout the conference hall.

"We have multi-touch screen technology, we have our own designed AP processor, excellent power management, AOS operating system based on mobile devices, exquisite and beautiful industrial design, three advanced sensing devices, desktop computer level application……"

"In the past few years, we have devoted ourselves to researching crazy innovations, and at the same time, we have also spent crazy investment. The launch of this work cost 11.85 billion yuan, which is only the cost of R\u0026D investment. If you want to calculate the total cost globally, it is 20.8 US$16.7 billion, excluding exchange rate changes.”

"But we think it's worth it, we've filed 287 patents for Azure-X, and we want to protect those inventions, the intellectual property that our 7,000-plus engineers have worked hard to say for 1,280 days and nights. "

"Azure-X is like putting your life in your pocket, the internet in your pocket, your life when you take it out of your pocket, your life when you take it in your hand The Internet is in the palm of your hand.”

"Whoa whoa!!!"

The thunderous applause and shouting interrupted Luo Sheng's words again, and the applause continued for a long time.

The Internet is in the palm of your hand!

Luo Sheng's words were so shocking that it forced Geraman, and what was even more shocking was that he created the most perfect and cool smart mobile terminal device in the world so far. No one expected this "Internet giant" to play mobile phones across borders. It turned out to be the pinnacle of debut.

What is the biggest impact of the Azure-X mobile phone on the audience present?

That is, before they saw this work, they thought that the popular smartphones, such as Motorola and Nokia, were very good and perfect.

However, when I saw the Azure-X, I instantly lost interest in the product I had been raving about, so I could not wait to go up and grab the prototype and keep it for myself, and then threw the plastic keyboard machine in my pocket. Go into the trash can.

Once again, it confirms the sentence that there is no harm without comparison.

This transformation only took the time of one press conference. This transformation is not one person, but everyone.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was on the stage, paced away and said, "How should we price such a perfect product?"

Hearing this, everyone was very concerned.

"What is the price of these devices in general? The most popular iPod in North America has sold hundreds of millions of units. If I remember correctly, the 4GB Nano is priced at $199 in North America, or about ¥1598 excluding exchange rate changes; What about smartphones? Motorola, Benz, Nokia, these are usually around $299, or about ¥2,400, and people spend $499 or about ¥4,000 for this combination, so how much is Azure-X priced?”

"Let's compare them carefully, Azure-X is so much easier to use than them, I don't think anyone will object, there is music, there is video, there is a multi-touch interface, there is Wi-Fi, there is a super browser, there is a desktop For computer-level applications, you can use Bluestar Technology's 'Family Bucket' on it, etc. These things are generally worth four or five hundred dollars or four thousand. Then, we should set a price for Azure-X that is much higher than it Suitable?"

When domestic people heard this, they also smacked their tongues secretly. This product is good or not. It is perfect and impeccable. The only imperfection is that it is too expensive.

According to Luo Sheng's tone, I am afraid that it is more expensive than the brand machine that has won the international big factory, at least it can't run at the rhythm of more than 4,000 yuan.

I am afraid that not many domestic consumers can afford such an expensive mobile phone, we must know that many mobile phones are cheap copycats.

The senior industry insiders present surprisingly unanimously believed that it is impossible for Côte d'Azur to recover costs in the domestic market in a short period of time, and only rely on the international market.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Luo Sheng's main focus is the overseas market, and now he is mainly attacking the European market.

"Azure-X has too many revolutionary features, so how should we price it? The 4GB model is priced at ¥3999 domestically and priced at $599 internationally."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was surprised, and suddenly there was thunderous applause.

The international version is a full $100 more expensive, which is equivalent to more than 800 yuan.

This offer surprised people, especially the foreigners on the scene. The price was $599, and the 10-15% tariff on electronic products was added, and the most expensive was about $688.

Definitely not cheap, but acceptable.

It can only be said that the consumption of developed countries in Europe and the United States is strong!

Luo Sheng continued: "We also have a 16GB model, the domestic price is ¥5999 yuan, and the international price is $799."

This time, the audience secretly slammed their tongues. Even if this price is placed in Europe and the United States, as an electronic product, it is still a high price. It can be said that Azure-X is very expensive, but as an epoch-making disruptive technology product, it cannot be Say it's not worth the price.

With such an expensive price, it is definitely one of the most expensive smartphones in the world so far. Some people can't help but wonder what will happen to the sales of this product after it is released?

I'm afraid not many people will buy it.

In fact, Luo Sheng is not worried about sales at all. It is natural that the competition in the mobile phone industry is fierce, but the market size is also huge. It is no surprise that the global sales of the mobile phone industry will reach 1 billion units this year, which is more than three times the sales of computers. .

With such a large volume, Luo Sheng gave Azure Coast Company a sales target of about 10 million mobile phones by the end of this year and next year, which only accounts for 1% of the entire market share.

More importantly, Luo Sheng has full confidence in the product itself, and there will be no direct competitors in the next one to two years. As for those smartphones with plastic keyboards, one can play in front of Azure-X phones. nothing.

Finally, Luo Sheng announced: "So when will it go on sale? It will be released globally on December 24th."

The press conference has continued until here, and it has basically come to an end. With Luo Sheng's announcement of the specific release date, the audience once again resounded with warm applause.

And this press conference also ended with Luo Sheng's last speech in less than a minute.

The news is spreading to the world at an alarming speed, sweeping the world almost overnight, and the whole world is sensational. On the second day, the news of the new product launch of the Cote d'Azur company occupied the headlines all over the world.
