Chapter 258: Defeat the Big Three

The lively press conference continued.

People have completely forgotten the arrogant tone of Cole, the CEO of holographic electronics, who complained in their hearts at the beginning - sure enough, the companies that are involved with VR companies are crazy to the limit, but they are powerful. The technology they bring is completely worthy of the tone just now.

After introducing the main features, Cole did not forget to thank the partners: "The VRS company provided us with VROS has further improved the functionality of the H1. ”

"For example, in terms of intelligent browsing of the Internet, artificial intelligence has completely replaced everything, and we can make intelligence work through voice control."

"At the same time, its search technology has also been upgraded across the board, for example," Cole paused, "V, I'm looking for a car, red double doors, a quad exhaust at the rear, an engine that looks like a V8, and maybe an electric motor, a four-seat car." ”

Kerr's bunch of keywords covers "nonsense, ambiguity, and uncertainty", and if you use your fingers to do this on a traditional search engine, you will only get regrettable or irrelevant results.

But the smart V understood and sorted out these keywords, and presented the results, and Cole was also satisfied with finding the BMW M series sports car he liked.

In addition to winning the applause of users, this hand also successfully made the Google executives who watched it gloomy - this is simply a Google search!

Google's search has also gained a certain amount of intelligence because of its previous cooperation with VR companies, but VR companies have always been hidden, and Google has limited advanced technology.

Compared to the technology presented now, the gap between the two is like a bicycle. It's the same as driving a four-wheeled car!

When users get used to this more advanced search technique. Who cares about Google?

What's even more terrifying is that this technology has an inherently large user base - a potential user base of 500 million users of VR devices. AI Butler is about to break one billion users, and after the press conference, the H1 watch will definitely sell crazy, no matter how you calculate it, it has more than 500 million users.

First the VR company, and then holographic electronics before taking a breath?

Google is finished?

Some people think about this with pessimism. Although the huge Google empire covers a wide range of areas, the main business has always been the search business, and other investments are promising. But it's still far from being fruitful. The main business collapsed, and sooner or later the Google empire will decline!

Google CEO Pichai, who was watching the live broadcast, knew something was wrong - he immediately called the group's top presidents, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Strictly speaking, these two tycoons have a certain friendship with Meng Qian, and Meng Qian once extended an olive branch to them as a brotherhood.

Although it was not negotiated, because of the anti-aging business and the elite club, there is usually contact - but no one is naΓ―ve yet. Think that these friendships can change the situation.

The VR company is now a behemoth with a network of relationships; Its behind-the-scenes boss, Meng Qian, has a deep background and is difficult to provoke.

If a few years ago. It is very risky for VR companies to do this, and they will face a joint crackdown on giants.

But now...... Who can shake tech trends?

Before the battle even began, Google had lost completely. There is only one option left for them: sum.

Seeking cooperation will be to preserve the future. The way not to lose too badly - VROS and intelligent search are strong, but resource shortcomings still exist.

……

On the other hand. Microsoft is in a worse position than Google.

If Google still has room for cooperation in intelligent search, Microsoft's old-fashioned flat system is completely a product of the old era in the face of intelligent and three-dimensional VROS.

What are Microsoft's advantages in the face of VROS? User? The two are comparable, and even the latter has a wider user base with the third-generation VR equipment.

Fund? Although Microsoft's market capitalization is almost twice that of VR companies, it is useless, they are all giant companies, each with its own capabilities.

Relationship? There is nothing to say about this, everyone knows that behind the smooth sailing of VR companies, there are many consortia and family businesses, and they are strong.

The conclusion was that Microsoft couldn't do anything - the only way was to keep working on the path of artificial intelligence, hoping to one day surpass VR companies.

The premise is that Microsoft is not clear that the AI quartet has successfully developed strong artificial intelligence.

The unclear Microsoft, under the premise that there is no hope of cooperation, can only put all the bets on artificial intelligence research - a project that is already doomed to failure in Meng Qian's eyes.

……

Press conference in. In the later stage, Cole also announced its release time and price as he wished.

The release date is just in early July, and the price is $699 β€” cheaper than an iPhone, but everyone knows that it costs more money to use cloud services.

Cloud services definitely need traffic, they need cost, and a lot of the features of this watch are based on the cloud, otherwise its small size can't fit so much hardware.

But after five years of rapid development, VR companies' cloud costs have been kept low, and two years ago they also acquired broadband network companies and satellite communication companies.

Including the satellite network that Meng Qian is using now, it is the resource of VR companies, and with the assistance of certain black technology, its speed and latency performance are very good.

So after the final answer was announced, there were too many people who were interested and willing to spend money to buy. It's also a good contrast to the lack of attention to Apple's new products.

VR companies and holographic electronics, these two companies have challenged the foundations of Microsoft and Google, and the remaining Apple is naturally not immune.

Apple mobile phone VS smart watch, comparing the two, it doesn't seem to be an era...... Consumers know how to choose.

Tim Cook, who is about to retire, lost his fighting spirit after watching the press conference.

This is like a cold weapon primitive with a sword, and a life-and-death duel with a traverser with a machine gun, and the strength of the two is no longer on the same level at all.

There is no other choice but to surrender and admit defeat.

Cook can predict that the former fruit fans will switch to the camp of smart watches. Those huge overseas funds that once made Meng Qian extremely envious may also be staged on holographic electronics. VR companies hold 30% of the shares, which would be a very considerable income.

After the press conference, Wang Manwen said: "You can properly short these companies. ”

"I've been preparing for a long time." Meng Qian said, "It is the decline of Apple that will have an impact on the revenue of Wells Fargo Energy...... It's time for the new energy empire plan to come to an end. ”

Wang Manwen said: "The market value of Wells Fargo Power has exceeded 210 billion US dollars, and the group currently holds 45% of the shares, and more than 55% of the controlling stake is in our hands. ”

"I have to keep throwing." Meng Qian has let the company cash out in a low-key manner, and with the advent of smart watches, its consumption of batteries will increase. Enter a new phase.

After six years of low-key preparation, it was time for INE to make its debut.

……

The day after the holographic electronic press conference, there was a lot of craze on the Internet.

They've finally stolen some of the headlines from VR companies' devices, and people have linked the partnership between the two companies to their previous ambition: to challenge the Big Three.

"They've almost succeeded." So the New York Times commented.

"A new model of science and technology economy will be rebuilt in the west." The Wall Street Journal also said.

The outside world has affirmed the results of the two companies in challenging the Big Three. As long as they don't die on their own, success is assured.

Their inevitable success is also manifested by the volatility of the stock price of the opponent. Microsoft, Google and Apple, which have been high, all fell after the opening of the next day, and the biggest decline was Apple, which will be defeated in terms of products and systems.

At the meeting held by the three companies the next day, it was gloomy.

I want to discuss countermeasures, but it's all on the negative side, and the knife hanging over my head will fall at any time.

What are the other businesses of the Big Three? are in decline! Apple has invested in AR augmented reality, but VR companies are also investing in subsidiaries to do so, and stronger; Google's investment in communications and life sciences was also preempted by rivals; As for Microsoft, there has been no improvement.

Apple lost more than $50 billion in market value overnight, a drop of more than 10% - those short-selling forces that hoarded and waited for the fall in advance, including Meng Qian, made a lot of money from it; And these short-selling forces continue to affect the fall of Apple's stock price.

It stands to reason that Microsoft is on par with it, but because VROS was announced months in advance, they have already gone through a period of decline, and this time it's not so obvious; Google fell second-worst, but because it was able to catch it. Living with cooperation opportunities, it will be able to move back some later.

The outcome of the battle for giants is clear today. Both VR companies and holograms are winners in the struggle, winning money as well as winning the future. The trumpet of the changing times and the offensive of the Brotherhood made them an outstanding victory in this battle. (To be continued.) )
