Chapter 358: The Much-Anticipated Press Conference
After booking the plane, An Feng can consider selling the Gulfstream.
There is no hurry, it will be a year and a half before the supersonic aircraft is delivered to the customer, and if there are not enough people, it may be even later, and if you want to sell the aircraft at a good price, you have to wait patiently for the buyer. Anfeng's Gulfstream is very new and well-maintained, and it is not a problem to sell it for 60 million carefully.
After arranging things to the assistant, An Feng continued to think about the event.
As the boss of Maserati, An Feng has no problem interfering in management, not to mention that he only cares about the events, and the GP company is responsible for the rest. He offered some advice on the format, location and timing of the event, but it was more up to the professionals.
Maserati is involved in many professional races, from the original FIA-GT to the Trofeo-MC of the World Championship, in professional racing, they are very experienced, Anfeng just provides some of the forms he wants, not guaranteed professionalism, if it can be adopted, it is better.
It is tentatively confirmed that it will be a five-stage competition, which will be held in various states in the United States, and there are not many permanent traditional circuits needed for touring car racing in the United States, and it is currently looking for a racing circuit that has hosted F1, such as Long Beach in California, Austin Motor Speedway, or Las Vegas, Detroit is also under consideration.
Although Maserati has not announced the establishment of the "MC Challenge", GP Energy, which is inextricably linked to insiders, is planning the "GP Team". The company intends to participate in the event like Red Bull in order to increase its visibility.
An Feng invited Duke and Howard, which was also carefully considered, to say that in the field of professional racing, the company has no experience, and needs to hire someone familiar with the industry. Duke has a knack for running a fleet, and his family has sponsored the NAS trucks team; And Howard is good at modding. He personally designed the last Ferrari F12, and he was able to compete with the P1 and 599XX on the track, and the technology can be imagined.
It's a good idea to invite the two of them to work together. According to An Feng's meaning, give them 10% of the team share, and the team will be able to share dividends if they have income, and at the same time motivate them to contribute to the team. Duke and Howard have no objection to this. There are hobbies. But there are also some benefits.
The three of them got together to discuss the event.
Howard said: "After the organizers have introduced the regulations on modification, the restrictions on motor modification, and the requirements for overall performance, we can start modifying the car." ”
"You have to consider that it's pure electric, unlike a conventional car," Duke said. ”
An Feng has a deep understanding of this: "Driving on the track, the gear and speed are already negligible, and when you step on the electric door, the torque is already the maximum." ”
Howard said, "Then I'll have to try a new car." ”
An Feng pointed to the garage on the side: "It's inside." The Maserati GT sports car has not yet been released, and both of you can go up and test it. ”
Duke looked at Howard: "Let's go?" ”
"Of course." Howard's interest was high, and the two got in the car and drove on the track for about twenty minutes, and after coming down, they already had a profound experience.
Duke is satisfied: "You can see that it's a road car model, but it's able to run the feel of a track car, and it's amazing that it's all-electric. ”
An Feng nodded: "Maserati's technicians are expected to test the electric motor to improve the fairness of the competition." Retrofitting the motor will limit the power, so it will focus more on other aspects. ECU, differential, suspension or brakes. ”
"It's easy, it's a lot of similarities to tradition, including the modification of the shape, it's important to fit the aerodynamics of the track," Howard said. ”
The three of them studied professional racing car modifications. Although the rules are not in place, they have new cars and can plan ahead. The division of labor also began, and Duke was responsible for the operation of the fleet and the absorption of personnel. The logistics team is very important, and it just so happens that he is very familiar with this aspect and has many friends.
Howard's technical director has a big role, he is responsible for modifying the car, training the team of technicians, and occasionally serving as a test driver – it may not seem easy, but for fans, testing their own modified cars is the ultimate sensory experience, and he is more than happy to do it.
As for An Feng...... Responsible for playing soy sauce and money.
……
There's one more important thing in February.
BOGE's Nokia is about to be released, and a lot of PR work has been done before, publicity and advertising have been done a lot, and with the promotion of GP, Nokia's turnaround battle can be described as highly anticipated. In late February, BOGE held its global launch in London.
Joanna, as the majority shareholder, was naturally invited to attend.
On the day of the press conference, An Feng and Joanna arrived in London and were invited to attend the high-profile press conference.
Escorted by bodyguards and a special car, he arrived at the press conference site of a hotel. Even before the start of the press conference, many reporters and news media had gathered at the scene. Nokia's press conference alone will not attract too much attention, but with the promotion of GP, the meaning is different.
Now the world is staring at graphene technology, from batteries to chips to screens, Nokia has revealed some news of microprocessors, successfully arousing everyone's curiosity. So far, the only thing that has used graphene technology in handheld mobile devices is batteries.
Batteries can already take the consumer experience to the next level, but what would happen if there were chips and display screens? It's very exciting, the attention is very high, and the lucky audience who can be invited to participate in the release is very excited, and they queue up early with the invitation.
An Feng's arrival was just at the right time, the two Audis stopped, and there were a lot of people outside, escorted by cameras and bodyguards, they walked into the venue in a low-key manner, and were led to sit down in a relatively high position by the reception, and the bodyguards stayed around. After An Feng and Joanna sat down, they were surrounded by acquaintances.
Louis Brown, who is in charge of BOGE. Hart was also present, but like An Feng, he was the behind-the-scenes manager, the chairman, not the CEO standing in the front desk. After a few pleasantries between them, the press conference took place soon after. The venue is huge, and there is a huge projection screen on the stage.
The company's CEO, Richards, took the stage and began to host the press conference.
Richards was tall and thin, and his clothes were very serious, with a suit and tie and shiny leather shoes, reflecting the old-fashioned rigor of the British. didn't go on stage like Joe's gang leader, with a black shirt and jeans and sneakers, deliberately showing his personal charm. There's a lack of dynamism here.
But personally, it doesn't affect the product, and the press conference did not disappoint the reporter, after a simple opening statement. The large screen behind him remains the same, but holograms are projected from under the stage, and the content of the press conference continues with a highly realistic picture, which immediately amazes the audience.
Although GP has made the holographic projection technology public, it is not yet ready for commercialization, which will also require a special department to complete or let GP Electronics promote it. Anyway, what you can have in the market is either a consortium member or a technician of the company.
The live experience uses real-life holographic technology to keep everyone's attention focused on the stage.
As soon as high technology came, the press conference instantly became high. Richards first showed off their in-depth cooperation with GP companies, and then extended the topic to mobile phones, starting from every detail, including the key graphene screen, the frequency reaches 150GHz and the GPU chip is integrated, so that the running party can completely lose the fun of running scores, and it can be accepted by the perfect party with peace of mind.
What he has in his hand and holographic projection is the current first high-tech mobile phone, Nokia's R series. R means "to be born again" and also to start over. It allows viewers and journalists to make up their own brains. But the model is secondary, and the focus is on the phone itself.
There's no doubt about the power of performance. Another highlight is focused on the new system, which has a certain level of intelligence, can be customized, and can be programmed automatically with your favorite functions, although it is still in the testing stage. But the freshness of the experience is very high.
Let's talk about the compatibility of the new system.,But there's not much expansion in it.,There's no need to promote the two major mobile phone systems.,The new system is very open.,The program design is simple.。 In the future, many interesting apps can be added, and the backward compatibility capability is only a transitional period.
After the introduction of software and hardware, the conference was half the battle.
The invited audience and reporters shouted that it was worth it, whether it was to enjoy the tech feast or tomorrow morning's news report, they could already predict its popularity, and most of the people present had the idea of buying one to experience it. In this respect, the launch has been a great success.
But there's more to come.
To everyone's applause, move on to the next item. The tenacity of graphene has been advertised before, and now it is necessary to have a real fight in front of the public. There are two tables on the site, one with a fish tank with a few goldfish swimming in it, and the other with a box on it.
Richards tossed his phone into the fish bowl and sat down at another table to take out the guess - walnuts. Laughter suddenly broke out at the scene, and An Feng also laughed, it seems that whether it is at home or abroad, everyone has a deep understanding of smashing walnuts.
Richards held up the walnut: "I think everyone knows that this is a walnut, it's very hard, and you can't enjoy it with ordinary methods." ”
"We can't carry a hammer with us." Richards picked up the Nokia, "But I have it." ”
The scene laughed again, and Richards said very seriously: "Trust me, it won't let you down." ”
When the words fell, the Nokia screen smashed down on the walnuts on the table! With a snap, the audience held their breath, he did it again, the walnuts were smashed, and the audience could feel the damage to the mobile phone just by listening to the sound......
But Richards was not in a hurry, calmly picked up the phone and showed it to the camera and the audience, everyone could clearly see that the impact point of smashing the walnut was the screen, he wiped it with his hand, unscathed, and then turned it on, the use of the program was normal, and made a call.
Nokia rang out in the goldfish bowl.
"That's it." Richards said.
The audience burst into applause. Violent and direct, Nokia smashed walnuts, and the legend of blocking bullets returned! And in this form of contempt for other competitors! It's enough to drag, and it's enough to capture the confidence of consumers. This is followed by the presentation of other violent methods.
For example, dropping the mobile phone, screen scratching, etc., it can be said that as long as it is not deliberately violently damaged, it does not affect the circuit board inside, the graphene screen and metal body can fully withstand it, and the airtightness is also very good, at least until now, the mobile phone in the water is still running.
Richards also said a fact in the form of a joke: "Strictly speaking, when you are faced with a bullet and cornered, believe it!" ”
Graphene is more than 20 times stronger than the current "Kevlar" material used in body armor and more than 100 times stronger than steel, and as long as it can achieve multiple layers of graphene - this is the most difficult part - it can create the most powerful and lightweight body armor ever made.
And it just so happens that GP companies have this ability.
Even though the screen is not as strong as bulletproof material, it is ...... to block bullets Maybe it's not a legend!
In the end, the press conference ended with a long applause from the audience.
The reporters who took the notebook editors on the scene were hi, this was undoubtedly the most sensory press conference they had ever seen, the first half showed off the GP company's technology that can now only be described as "invincible", and the second half was a violent and direct smashing process of smashing mobile phones, which made the audience shout wonderful.
Now, if there is a survey, almost all the audience who participate will choose to buy it and experience it.
Such a high-tech thing, it feels like a primitive person to miss it.
After the press conference, shareholders were presented with brand new mobile phones, as were An Feng and Joanna, and the experience technology was to be at the forefront. Take a trip to London and get two of the world's strongest mobile phones. On the same day, the news around the world began to report fiercely about the Nokia mobile phone.
News sites in various countries, especially those involving mobile technology, as long as you click on the homepage, you can see the press conference video about Nokia's "Rebirth" series, and even some websites that have nothing to do with technology are also left with space. YouTube's official video has gone viral.
The Berg company did not hire any water army, but now as long as the Internet is accessed, more or less you can see relevant reports, the media collectively high = tide, free for the Berg company to publicize, even if some sour mobile phone manufacturers high-level complaints about the big screen, metal body or others, to no avail.
No matter how many high-level executives complain and how they feel that their mobile phones are tall, they can't hide the technological brilliance brought by Nokia, even if there are flaws, but people are immersed in the power of GP and the incomparable mobile phone at this time, and these remarks can't make any waves.
Following the logical situation, hot discussions on the Internet, hot news, BOGE said that it would be put into production as soon as possible, and the cooperation of Asian foundries is also being negotiated, but the technology of microprocessors is in the hands of GP companies, and the amount of mobile phone production depends on whether the production of GP electronics is strong.
The "would-be fans" turned their attention to GP Electronics.
Over the past few years, GP companies have managed to develop to the point where the world is numb, the only pity is that they are too mysterious and too procrastinating - in fact, this is all an illusion caused by too hot demand, even if GP companies are twice as fast, they will not be able to make up for future demand.
There is also a lot of pressure on GP Electronics, which has been working on mainframe and PC processors lately, and now on mobile processors...... However, the speaker said that he would go all out, and finally let some impatient Nook Kee powder settle down, and instead look forward to the first shipment in March.
After An Feng returned to the United States, he simply browsed the news and breathed a sigh of relief, the mobile phone is very popular, which proves that the efforts of these days have not been in vain. (To be continued......)
