Chapter 499: Nokia's tragedy is staged
"I rely on my own ability to let people buy my car, why do you want to say that I am engaged in PY trading? Slander, purely slander!! Seeing the comments on the Internet, Li Zetian's eyes widened and he said indignantly, "And those car companies, what they say is unfair, how can there be fairness in this world? Do the rich and the poor really have the same rights?"
Outside the house, the secretary Selena happened to walk in at this time.
“Mr· Li, according to your instructions, the companies under your name will also order Tesla cars one after another, as a year-end reward for outstanding employees, I have counted, and there will be about 35,000 orders......"
"Well, that's good...... Oh, that's right!!" Li Zetian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "You will inform the CEOs of Rolls-Royce, BMW, Daimler, Chrysler, Tesla, Bosch, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Chronos Industrial that a remote video conference will be held at 10 o'clock New York time next morning!"
"Yes!" Selena replied.
Li Zetian nodded, and couldn't help but feel excited about the idea that suddenly flashed to him just now.
Li Zetian knows that although there are many users who order Tesla cars, how much water is there, the Roadster is a luxury sports car, and the price of $100,000 is actually a very expensive price. Generally speaking, a car in the average price range is only a few thousand dollars. In two days, Tesla Roadster was able to pre-sell more than 20,000 yuan, which is simply impossible, and it is inevitable that some people will sarcastically swipe Li Zetian's orders, waiting to see Li Zetian's jokes.
Japan's Toyota Motor Company even publicly ridiculed Li Zetian as a nouveau riche and a clown waving a check, and he must have suffered Waterloo in the automobile industry, but Li Zetian is not convinced, he wants to prove to the world that I am coming, I am conquering!
Li Zetian suddenly found that in terms of car manufacturing technology alone, it may not be able to surpass Toyota Motor Corporation and other car companies too much, and his advantages should be artificial intelligence, operating systems and the Internet......
Unmanned vehicles will not be able to be built for a while and a half, and at the same time, they will not be able to be applied on a large scale, but what about smart cars?
A car equipped with the world's top artificial intelligence operating system, cow or not?
The next day, a remote video conference was held.
After everyone greeted each other, they listened to Li Zetian's speech.
Li Zetian said on the theme of the live broadcast: "Today, we will gather everyone to say one thing, to make the car more intelligent! In the past, words such as comfortable, cheap, low consumption, and safety were the main slogans of the car, but in the future, we will vigorously promote artificial intelligence, and take artificial intelligence cars as the core competitiveness of our enterprise!!"
"The era of the automobile revolution is coming, and intelligent vehicles will be the main development direction in the future. What we sell is not cars, but experiences, trends, and technology!!"
"Equip each car with an operating system and artificial intelligence assistant, collect the user's driving habits, master every piece of his data, and let the user do without our artificial intelligence assistant!"
"In fact, we've already provided AI assistants to our users! Microsoft Cortana for Microsoft operating systems, Siri for Apple products, and our online habits are collected in our database. Our AI assistant knows them best, and naturally is the 'person' who cares for them the most!"
"We have the largest and richest ecosystem in the world, such as operating systems, artificial intelligence assistants, all kinds of software, entertainment and information content, PCs, mobile phones, automobiles and smart home appliances, which is absolutely impossible for other automotive companies!! I believe that the cooperation between automobile companies and Internet technology companies will definitely achieve a win-win !!."
After Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone was overjoyed.
Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to cooperate.
The meeting went on for a long time, and before you knew it, a morning had passed. This will be the first in-depth and comprehensive cooperation between an automobile company and an Internet technology company to build a car with Internet thinking and provide consumers with the best user experience!
Of course, Li Zetian is only in charge of the strategic policy, and the specific work is entrusted to them to cooperate with themselves.
As soon as the meeting ended, the secretary Vanessa came to Li Zetian's side and said softly: "Mr· Li, Samsung's Android phone is confirmed to be officially released on March 30th!"
Li Zetian nodded, and as he walked, he asked, "What about the Xiaomi phone?"
"April 16th!" Vanessa replied, "However, the promotional video has already started to be broadcast online, and the response is good, and many netizens in China are looking forward to it." ”
"What about Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers?" Li Zetian asked again.
"Nokia's new mobile phone has also been developed, and it will be officially launched on March 30!"
"Hehe, this is going to fight against us!" Li Zetian smiled and pouted, "Okay, stay tuned." ”
"Yes!"
……
Li Zetian has been busy building cars recently, but he pays less attention to smartphones.
But fortunately, the matter of building a car has come to an end, and Li Zetian can relax for a while.
Li Zetian opened the website, browsed the website on Nokia's official website, and roughly understood the main direction of Nokia's new mobile phone, which turned out to be the main high-end mobile phone!
Well, probably seeing the price of the iPhone sell so high, it makes a lot of money. At the same time, it also has the meaning of competing with the iPhone.
It's just that Nokia's new mobile phone makes Li Zetian a little speechless, using a 3.5-inch resistive touch screen, supporting multi-touch, but at the same time using a side-sliding design, with a QERTY full keyboard, which is now commonly used computer keyboard layout, so the fuselage is slightly huge.
In addition, the device is highly specified, with a Zeiss-certified 5-megapixel camera that supports autofocus, is equipped with a dual-LED flash, has a built-in OMAP 3430 processor, runs 1GB of virtual memory, and works at 600MHz. 32GB of pre-stored memory space, GPS support, i-Fi support, Flash 9.4, VoIP, 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, TV-out port, stereo Bluetooth, microUSB connection and other functions are also basically available.
That's right, it's a high-end business smartphone, and in fact it's the highest-spec phone Nokia has ever produced. Although the price is not announced on the official website, according to Li Zetian's speculation, the phone will cost at least $800.
Soon, March 30 arrived, and the first Samsung Android phone, named Samsung Galaxy S1. Samsung Electronics Company had previously sent Li Zetian a design drawing of the Samsung Galaxy S1, and Li Zetian made a slight modification, in fact, it was designed according to the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S1, and then sent it back. Therefore, Samsung's first Android mobile phone is almost the same as the Samsung Galaxy S1 in the previous life, because it is the main low-end, so the configuration is not as high as the iPhone1, but it is enough to support the normal operation of the software to ensure that the phone is not stuck, which is very critical.
When many mobile phone manufacturers first started making Android mobile phones, users installed a few apps on their mobile phones, and they immediately got stuck. Powerful processor and software optimization capabilities can ensure that the mobile phone is not stuck and make the mobile phone stand out.
Since Samsung's new mobile phone conference and Nokia's new mobile phone conference were held at the same time, Li Zetian had to make a choice. Because he knows more about Samsung mobile phones, he thinks it should be successful, so he pays more attention to competitors.
Nokia's press conference was held very grandly, and major mobile phone manufacturers, spare parts suppliers, software developers, investors, cooperative media and fans all participated in the conference.
The chairman of Nokia was well-dressed, with a black suit, black leather shoes, and shiny hair, and walked to the stage with confidence written on his face.
He greeted everyone passionately: "Welcome to Nokia's product launch! Today, you will see the best mobile phone !! in the world."
As soon as the words fell, there was thunderous applause.
"Nima, how can you be so shameless?" Li Zetian scoffed, "You dare to say that it is the best mobile phone in the world, where is the iPhone?"
The chairman of Nokia smiled slightly, pressed his hand, signaled that everyone could stop applauding, and then continued: "This mobile phone is a new series of mobile phones launched by Nokia, called Nokia S1, everyone please see," pointing to the large LCD screen behind him, said, "The entire body of this mobile phone is safe black, and the panel is surrounded by metallic luster, and the screen specification is 3.5 inches." But in fact, the first feeling should be more than 3.5 inches, giving people a good sense of visual coordination! This phone is a full touch screen model, but with a full keyboard with side slides!"
Speaking of this, the chairman of Nokia paused, the corners of his mouth floated, and he couldn't help but show a smile, this kind of full touch screen with a full keyboard design with side slide, he is proud!
He smiled: "Nokia S1 is not only a mobile phone, but also more like a laptop, whether it is a user who likes to touch or a user who likes to press buttons, Nokia S1 can be satisfied!"
"When it comes to the interface of the Nokia S1, it is not only gorgeous, but also has a high degree of freedom, which will definitely give people a new experience......"
Nokia's chairman promotes his strengths and avoids his weaknesses, and Kai Kai talks about it, which is very inciting, and many people can't help but like this Nokia S1.
People who watched the live broadcast on the Internet liked it one after another and commented to show their support.
"The Nokia S1 is unique in design and powerful, and it's worth buying!"
"It's a great phone!"
"Sideways skiing is cool!"
"I've been using Nokia and I believe in the Nokia brand!"
“……”
However, at the end of the press conference, everyone immediately retreated when they heard the price of the Nokia S1.
"$899? This Nima is the same price as the 8GB version of the iPhone1! I was thinking about buying a Nokia S1, but when I saw the price, I might as well buy the iPhone1." ”
"In terms of appearance, it is still the iPhone1 that wins, and in terms of performance, the iPhone1 is not worse than the Nokia S1. The point is, I can still pretend to be forced when I buy an iPhone1. But how to pretend to be forced to buy a Nokia S1!"
"Don't buy Nokia S1, although this phone can access the Internet, but there are very few third-party software that supports the phone, and there is no Facebook, Weibo, QQ, WeChat, Flamingo game ......"
……
After the press conference, it was 9 o'clock in the evening, and the Nokia S1 was sold online and offline at the same time.
Nokia has opened flagship stores on Amazon, eBay, and Taobao, which Li Zetian is not embarrassed about, otherwise he would be too stingy.
After all, Nokia is the second largest company in the mobile phone industry and has many fans.
From 9 o'clock in the evening to the early hours of the morning, 350,000 Nokia S1s were sold on Amazon, eBay, and Taobao alone. As for how much was sold in other places, Li Zetian didn't know.
However, Nokia learned from Apple and customized a lot of contract machines, and I heard that there were long queues outside the doors of many telecom business halls.
As soon as Li Zetian put down the phone, Yu Jingqiu leaned behind him and said softly: "Nokia S1 is on fire?"
"It seems to be a bit of a fire, and 450,000 Nokia S1s have been sold online. Li Zetian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
"Where's the Samsung phone?"
"The offline data hasn't been counted yet, but the online data should be counted...... The Samsung Galaxy S1 sold a total of 950,000 online from 9 p.m. to midnight!"
"So many !!" Yu Jingqiu's mouth opened wide, her face full of surprise.
Li Zetian said with a smile, "There is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die!"
Yu Jingqiu shook her head and didn't understand.
Li Zetian explained: "In the mobile phone industry, in terms of fame, there is no doubt that Nokia mobile phones are more famous than Samsung mobile phones. But when Samsung announced that it would hold a product launch conference and officially sell it on the evening of March 30, Nokia also made the same decision. Nokia originally wanted to suppress Samsung and suppress the Android Alliance. But the results were unexpected. ”
"I didn't suppress Samsung mobile phones and Android, but I didn't talk about it, but I also achieved each other. You know, how can the two companies not attract media coverage when they are so competitive? Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S1 has been extremely exposed, and when reporting on the Nokia S1, the Galaxy S1 must be used as an example. In addition, on the homepages of Amazon, eBay and Taobao, the two touchscreen smartphones were also specially advertised for sale at the same time for PK. ”
"The price of the Nokia Galaxy S1 is $899, while the price of the Samsung Galaxy S1 is $499, and come to think of it, there are more people who are willing to spend money on the Samsung Galaxy S1. ”
"Okay, don't worry about this, it's so late, let's go to bed......" Li Zetian said to Jingqiu.
"Hmm. ”
Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu and got into the quilt.
The bed in the bedroom was still on, but suddenly a sound came out, and the waiting in the bedroom went out.
"Eve, turn off the lights!"
……
……
By noon the next day, the Nokia S1 had a lot of problems.
There is no commonly used social software.
After installing more software, the phone gets hot, and then it starts to get stuck.
Poor battery life.
Touch buttons are slow to respond and not very accurate.
……
"Spicy next door, what do I want this phone for!! I don't even have Facebook, how can I use my phone to play with others?"
"What about mobile games? I'm going to play Happy Farm, Plants vs. Zombies, Crazy Birds...... Nima, you don't even have "Chinese Cubes" and "Snake", tell me, what are your !!"
"Return! There are only so many software on the phone, and I haven't heard of it! Lao Tzu wants to return it!"
"Nokia is really too bad!! isn't the current smartphone just a mobile phone that can play games, browse websites, and brush Facebook, Weibo, and video websites?
"Nokia's new mobile phone S1 giant pit, don't jump!"
“……”
On Weibo, Nokia S1's reputation has plummeted, except for a few iron fans, almost all users who buy are scolding their mothers.
Major media outlets around the world have also reported on it.
For a time, Nokia S1 was seriously unsalable.
There are countless consumers who return goods to the store.
Nokia said that it is communicating with Internet bigwigs and will solve the problem of lack of software as soon as possible.
But the eyes of the masses are bright.
"Communication, communication! People make it clear that they don't develop software for the Symbian system!"
"As a developer, to be honest, I prefer to develop software for Android and iOS because the software development of the Symbian system is difficult and the development cycle is too long. In addition, Android has the support of Google and Microsoft, and it is not obvious who to support and who not to support? Nokia is better than Google and Microsoft.
……
As the Nokia S1 return turmoil intensified and the Samsung Galaxy S1 sold well, the members of the Symbian Alliance changed their flags and switched to Android......
When Li Zetian heard the news, he couldn't help but be surprised, but don't die......
The reason why Nokia's reputation has plummeted so quickly is naturally due to Li Zetian's fueling the fire, if the chairman of Nokia is angry to death, Li Zetian will feel uncomfortable, at least he has no appetite for a week, no, maybe it will be two weeks...... This is too painful for Li Zetian, who is a foodie.
