Chapter 892: News Released
It has been more than 20 days since the announcement of the suspension of production, but the popularity of the sound master has not diminished.
A large part of the reason is that there are hundreds of music players on the e-commerce every day, and there are many people who are happy to buy them every day.
This batch of products that have been engraved with numbers is now being speculated, and the price has doubled in the second-hand market, and if you buy it, you will earn it, even Liu Chen himself did not expect that the sound master player would become a value-preserving product.
Time passed quietly, and the countdown to the day when Yinba announced its withdrawal from the market began.
Many MP3 manufacturers have been working hard to start production since the day Yinba announced its withdrawal from the market, after all, Yinba occupies more than 50% of the market, and if it withdraws, this huge market share will be left to them to carve up.
Everyone sees it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
However, there are two companies that have been on the move: Soni and Apple.
As the music player manufacturer with the second largest market share in the world after Yinba, it stands to reason that they are the biggest beneficiary of the discontinuation of Yinba, but out of understanding Liu Chen, Yukiko Morita and Jobs both chose to stand still and wait and see what happens.
Jobs was very puzzled, so he made a transatlantic call to Liu Chen and asked why he made such a move, but he was perfunctory by Liu Chen, which made Jobs very depressed.
Just kidding, Liu Chen's discontinuation of the sound master is to make mobile phones wholeheartedly, the purpose is to release it before the first generation of iPhone, seize the market in advance, and establish the position of the leader in the smartphone market, how can this kind of news be revealed to Jobs.
As for Yukiko Morita, she came directly to Jianghai and found Liu Chen in person, wanting to know what was going on.
At first, Liu Chen was reluctant to tell her, but Sheng Tian Yukiko pestered her all day and night, giving herself a headache, and then thinking about how the two of them had an unusual relationship, she didn't want her to be in trouble.
So Liu Chen finally gave Sheng Tian Yukiko a thorough explanation, the era of music players is about to pass, and if you spend a lot of energy and a lot of money to get in, the gains outweigh the losses.
As for the fact that Yinba is about to push his mobile phone, he has always kept his mouth shut, and he will not make it public until the last moment.
After Liu Chen got the news here, Yukiko Morita returned to the United States and pressed the group to vigorously develop MP3 players, taking advantage of the discontinuation of the sound master to seize the sound of the market, and focusing on the development of music mobile phones.
As early as 2001, Soni and Ericsson of Sweden each invested 50% to establish Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., which mainly produces mobile phone products.
In 2004, the launch of Nokia's Ultra Classic 7610 made many consumers love it.
And Soni Ericsson is not lagging behind, releasing its own megapixel strong machine S700, the main focus is the camera function.
In 2005, it launched a 550 slider mobile phone, focusing on music functions, using stereo audio, and equipped with a 1.3 million pixel camera, which can support 4x digital zoom to meet the needs of young people for taking pictures.
It's just that Sheng Tianxuezi expected that the music player would be replaced by a mobile phone, but she didn't expect that the advent of smart phones would directly set off a revolution in mobile phones.
……
There are still three days left before the countdown to the withdrawal of the Soundmaster player from the market, and the company suddenly released the news that the annual meeting of the global software developers of the company will be held at the Jianghai National Convention and Exhibition Center in a week, and the Soundmaster generation mobile phone will be launched at that time.
After the news was released, it spread like thunder, and it spread all over the world on the same day.
No one thought that the discontinuation of music players by Yinba was to transform into a mobile phone company, which is not a small span.
Of course, some people are optimistic about Yinba's mobile phone, and some people are down.
After all, MP3 is too simple compared to mobile phones, and companies that make good mobile phones can basically make an excellent MP3, but it is almost impossible for companies that make MP3 to make a great mobile phone.
After all, the functions of mobile phones are too huge, and the music playback function is only the tip of the iceberg.
Jobs was shocked to learn the news, and when he and Liu Chen met a long time ago, Liu Chen revealed that he knew that Apple was engaged in a secret project called "Project Purple" to develop a new smartphone.
Now this mobile phone is still in the development stage, and Liu Chen himself made a mobile phone, Jobs is very suspicious, the sound master generation is a smart phone.
And, with his understanding of Liu Chen, this young man will either not do it, or if he wants to do it, he will definitely do the best, and his Yinba mobile phone will definitely be better than all the mobile phones on the market.
If that's the case, it will be a huge blow to the release of the iPhone generation.
You know, in order to develop this mobile phone, Apple has convened more than 1,000 internal employees to form a research and development iPhone team, investing hundreds of millions of dollars, which can be described as a bloody investment.
When this news was released, Yukiko Morita was still on Hijima, and she quickly made a call to Liu Chen: "Liu Chen, what kind of mobile phone is the Yinba generation?"
"An epoch-making smartphone. At this time, Liu Chen was not so strict in guarding.
"Are you free? On behalf of Yinba, I would like to formally invite you to attend the press conference. Liu Chen said with a smile on the phone.
Morita Yukiko smiled and said, "I will definitely go." ”
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the night for a long, long time, and collapsed in her chair, feeling like she had collapsed.
The group has just allocated a large amount of money for the development and promotion of music mobile phones, but Liu Chen wants to launch an epoch-making smart phone, doesn't it mean that their efforts will be in vain.
"What a love-hate guy. Yukiko Morita muttered to herself.
"Still, it's not a man who fascinates me. ”
……
Liu Jiang didn't understand the launch of Yinba's mobile phone, but he was faintly worried in his heart.
Ba e-commerce is now at a disadvantage, but Liu Chen doesn't seem to care, first the release of the borderless drone, and now it is a discontinued music player, and the launch of the sound master generation of mobile phones, one action after another.
"Could it be that Liu Chen wants to rely on these things to turn the tables in a desperate situation?" Liu Jiang thought in his heart, he has never been involved in the field of mobile phones, and he doesn't know what the potential of the mobile phone industry is, but as we all know, the mobile phone market in China is monopolized by Nokia and Motorola, especially Nokia.
