Chapter 816: Press Conference
Low orbit satellite mobile communications, also known as Internet satellites, and later Google, Facebook, and other large enterprises, start-ups, and non-profit organizations have participated in this competition, and it is unclear how many of them really want to make the Internet available to the other 3 billion users on the planet. The areas where the Internet is not practical are mainly concentrated in Africa, South America, South Asia and other places, all because of poverty. Since it is poor, the market there can be imagined. It's hard to say how much the cost of Internet satellites is? However, one of the two things, Time, or his charitable trust, is definitely going to get involved in this field. Whether it's for spectrum and orbit, or for his rocket launch company to have enough business, this is a must.
Yahoo should not get involved in this kind of thing, whether it can succeed or not is another matter, there is no need to use limited funds for such a project that has no hope in the short term. Almost no one in domestic Internet companies will do such a thankless thing, and Zhou Shi, who has too much money, has the strength to do some pioneering things.
On June 28, 2013, the long-awaited Guoke Galaxy voice speaker conference is finally about to begin, which is not only the launch of the voice speaker, but also the launch of the Galaxy brand.
Zhou Shi presided over this meeting, which does not mean that he is also required to be present for the release of the product. Kalifiorina was able to complete the product launch task very well.
"Today's first product is the Galaxy smart voice speaker,Its biggest feature is that we have migrated the voice assistant function to the speaker?No,Absolutely more than that,We also equipped him with a unique operating system,Not only can you play music through voice control,Set an alarm clock,Check the weather and road conditions,After some transformation,You can also control smart devices at home。 For example: Galaxy! Turn off the lights in the first row.
Galaxy! opens the door on the left.
Turn on the TV.
Play House of Cards on Galaxy!......
You see, Galaxy is pretty much omnipotent. In the future, we will work together with our partners to let Galaxy control everything in our home!" said Kalifiorina
With the programs and interactions of singers such as mildew, Guoke has successively released smart bracelets, smart watches (Samsung released Galaxy Gear in September 2013), smart TV boxes, smart driving recorders, ADAS and a series of products.
In addition to the price of the smart bracelet is around $49, the price of the TV box is around $99, and the pricing of products such as smart speakers is above $199. Of course, that's not the point of this launch.
"Have you been a little disappointed with today's press conference, we have made so much effort to publicize, and the resulting products do not seem to have market impact and have little to do with the existing product system of Guoke. Zhou Shi smiled and walked to the middle
"Since we acquired Harman International, Mobileye a few years ago, a lot of people have lost interest in Guoke and thought we weren't focused. You are a mobile phone company, what tablets do you make, what rotten laptops do you make, especially there are a bunch of messy products.
In fact, these people are wrong, Guoke has never said that it is a mobile phone company, and we may not be a high-tech enterprise in the real sense. If you have to define the husk, then the title of consumer technology company seems to be more suitable for the husk.
You know, the black technology of decades ago is now just the most common product. Even if it's a smartphone, it took us years to make the first product, but now it's different, in a few years, as long as you want, maybe a few hours can provide you with a complete smartphone solution, and after 24 hours, it can even be transformed into a laboratory product......
Needless to say, personal computers are now common, and this kind of fact tells us that technology products can also be transformed into consumer goods, especially in the Internet era, the speed of technological change is very fast, and smartphones have accidentally changed from very cutting-edge high-tech products to mass consumer goods, and Apple and Guoke are among the best.
The development of smart phones this year, in fact, the range of technological progress is not very large, and it is difficult to have a very significant breakthrough. It's more about technology upgrades, improving your phone's performance, storage space, etc. Of course, the husk can do this, but we are not willing to do only that.
As mentioned earlier, Guoke is a science and technology consumer enterprise, and the first thing we need to do is to meet the needs of users, and of course we can also create needs for users! The products we released today are to pave the way for creating user needs.
These products seem to be disorganized, but they are actually an attempt to explore in three areas. The three areas are smart driving, smart home, and personal health management.
Among them, the intelligent driving ......" Zhou Shi talked about the future development of Guoke flatly, and it caused a sensation before he finished speaking, many reporters raised their hands to ask questions, but he didn't have the patience, and originally wanted to talk about the problems of Baidai Music, so he had to give up, and left the press conference despite the obstruction of many reporters.
"The new fruit shell shines!"
"Consumer goods company husk!"
"The intelligent world of the future!"
"A new development in the husk!"
"Zhou Shi's husk or Zhou Shi's husk?"
Guoke was embarrassed to dominate the financial headlines in the next few days, and then the company's stock price rose one after another, with a market value of more than 800 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Mobileye, Harman International, voice recognition, smart wearables, driverless technology, and so on are perfectly combined. For the first time, the ambition of Guoke was fully displayed in front of the public.
As for why Zhou Shi/Guoke said this, it is not difficult to understand. has responsibilities and obligations, and it is also to build momentum, so that the public will think of the fruit shell when they say these aspects. Secondly, in order to attract talents and attract followers, the scale of these three industries is very large, a company obviously can't eat, and Guoke has not thought about building a closed system like Apple, so that more people can join his chariot, drive the king, charge into battle, and wait until the market matures, Guohu may be harvested through superior capital. Of course, there will be accidents, otherwise Nokia will not fail, and there will be no room for small businesses to grow.
Many people think that the development of enterprises, advanced strategy is the most important, but IBM's advanced concept is ahead of the global high-tech enterprises for nearly ten years, and finally was surpassed by Google and Facebook, which shows that it is not possible to have a strategy without implementation. For another example, we all know that Ping Duoduo is very powerful, listed in two years and ten months, with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars. But even if you knew about this idea ten years ago, without the support of WeChat, is it possible to replicate the success of Ping Duoduo? Creativity is not the most important thing, the important thing is execution.
Guoke is not afraid of someone learning it, and the most important thing is to expand the market.
