Chapter 997: Three steps faster than others is a madman
"It seems that the Meizu generation is not as perfect as we imagined."
Seeing the Meizu generation of screens cracked one by one, Nokia CEO Lopp breathed a sigh of relief.
"Raymond, go on."
Motioned for Raymond to continue.
"Just a distance of one meter can cause so much damage to the Meizu generation, I think, when other users are not careful, they will also cause damage to the screen in many cases. Of course, Penguin may have thought of this problem as well. Therefore, when they launched the Meizu generation, they also launched anti-drop peripheral products. For example, protective covers, protective films, etc., however, these peripheral products still cannot change the fragile characteristics of Meizu's glass screen. Because of this, in itself, in the design of Meizu's first-generation products, he has flaws. β
"Whether a product can continue to attract users may be one aspect, but it is more practical. The confirmation of our Nokia brand does not depend on the appearance, but on the quality of the product. Many people buy our Nokia because we are practical Nokia. β
"Of course, that's not the main thing. The main thing is ......"
At this point, Wren paused, as if to reinforce what was to be said next.
After a moment, Wren said.
"We at Nokia have always been the leading brand in the mobile phone industry and the leader in the industry as a whole. We are the ones who make the rules of the industry, and we are the only ones who have always led the way. This is the pride of our Nokia, and it is also the foundation for our Nokia to maintain its hegemony in the industry. If one day, we at Nokia start to model others, then Nokia will fall from its original hegemony. β
This translation is loud and clear.
When everyone present heard this paragraph, their mood suddenly became solemn.
"yes, when does Nokia need to model someone else?"
"When did Nokia become so timid."
"When did Nokia actually have to look at other people's faces."
Nokia has its own pride, and Nokia has its own style.
Wren was right.
Only Nokia leads the industry, which can guarantee Nokia's continued hegemon.
Once you fall into the mold defense of others, then Nokia will become someone else's follower.
Undoubtedly, no matter how strong Nokia is, it will lose its own market among others.
"Well said."
A word woke Loop.
"I think in the future, everyone must remember what Rennes said today. Our Nokia is the hegemon of the entire industry, when will our Nokia fall to the point of relying on mold defense. The Meizu generation is good, but I just want to ask, can't we develop a better product that is more suitable for the market? β
"Wren, the upgrade plan for the N95 is entrusted to you, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
"Yes, Mr. Lope."
β¦β¦
With Nokia, Microsoft, Google they started to act, as well as Apple, Sony, Nintendo, these companies.
Influenced by the Meizu generation, they have carried out a series of projects.
"Xiaoning, hundreds of companies around the world have plans to enter the smartphone market."
Chen Qingqing, who got the news, found Zhang Ning as soon as possible to discuss specific countermeasures.
"Oh, tell me, what are the plans of these companies?"
"Although we don't get much detailed information, I expect that most of the companies will go to the smartphone market. In other words, they will also develop a smart phone similar to the Meizu generation. β
"This is normal."
Zhang Ning didn't care.
"The technical difficulty of the Meizu generation itself is not particularly high, what they lack is creativity. After the Meizu generation appeared, it happened to give them this idea, and it is normal for them to enter. β
"Yes."
Chen Qingqing is also recognized.
"Moreover, the high price of our Meizu generation also gives these electronic companies the opportunity to enter the market. At the very least, they can enter the low-end market. β
"Qingqing, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ning asked rhetorically.
"I mean let them in?"
"Oh, Qingqing, you're being generous."
Zhang Ning said with a smile.
"Xiao Ning, I still don't know what you think. After the development of the Meizu generation, I knew that our Meizu generation could not monopolize the entire market, just like computers, there will be more and more smart phone brands in the world in the future, which is the inevitable trend of market development, as long as we have been leading the market, it is enough. The rest of the profits are given to others. β
"Well, Qingqing, your vision is getting longer and longer."
Zhang Ning was very satisfied with Chen Qingqing's answer.
Yes, as a product like the Meizu generation, it is impossible for any company to achieve a monopoly.
Even the Apple of later generations will not be able to monopolize it.
You can do the high-end, then, others will grab the low-end.
Even if you do both high-end and low-end, there will also be competition from other companies.
Instead of guarding against these companies, it is better to let go and only do high-end.
"But, Qingqing, do you know why I don't want to monopolize it?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ning asked again.
"The global market is becoming more and more interconnected, and it is no longer possible for any one company to monopolize it."
"That's just one of the reasons, but the more important reason is not that."
"Huh......"
Chen Qingqing has something strange?
"The more important reason is that we need to establish our leadership position at Penguin through this openness. In other words, we need this kind of openness to truly bring smart machines to the world. β
This seems to be a bit contradictory.
Hasn't the Meizu generation shocked the world?
Isn't the Meizu generation already selling very well?
On the surface, it is.
But this is only the appearance, and the Meizu generation is far from truly changing the world.
Admittedly, the Meizu generation is now selling very well, and many people want to buy a Meizu generation.
But these many people are only a relative part of the people.
There are still some people who don't know what the Meizu generation is.
In other words, even if they know what the Meizu generation is, even if they want to buy the Meizu generation. But for various reasons, they didn't buy it.
In other words, no matter how popular the Meizu generation is, it is impossible to do what everyone must have.
It's impossible for anyone to buy your product.
However, other companies joined the camp.
Then, smart machines will impact the world with the joint efforts of all enterprises in the world.
Just like the smartphones of later generations, only one out of ten people bought a smartphone, so he could not have the urge to let others buy such a smartphone. No matter how good this smartphone is. Moreover, when 5 out of 10 people, or even 6 or 7 people buy a smartphone, you must want to buy it too.
Obviously, Penguin alone could not have achieved such a high share of the position.
At this time, Meizu needs other companies to promote the concept of smart phones with him.
He wants to let the world know what a smart machine is.
He also wants to let the world know how to use smart phones.
He also wants smart phones to become a must-have product in the world.
"Xiao Ning, I understand. However, not all companies will enter the smartphone sector. There are some companies that have their own ideas. β
"Oh, yes, tell me which companies have their own ideas."
"Nintendo, Sega, Sony, etc., are said to be interested in developing a new generation of handhelds."
"Mean, they're trying to launch a touch-only handheld?"
"We don't have any news on the specific product design, but we estimate that it's about the same."
"Then don't worry."
Zhang Ning said with a smile.
"Our Meizu generation has integrated all the functions of the handheld, and I think there is no reason for users to buy their handheld separately in order to play games, and our Meizu generation will do it."
"That's what I thought, too, but we also had to guard against it, and besides, they also have the advantage of making games."
"If it's just the original video game, then their advantage doesn't exist for us. Because of our touch, we broke the game advantage they had accumulated before. If they just change the original single-player game to a touch game, then they are dead. β
Zhang Ning knew what Chen Qingqing was worried about, but there was no need for this worry.
Touch-based gaming has changed the video game landscape.
Either they adapt to it, or they just have to be finished.
The shadow of Nintendo, Sega, and Sony that touched games exploded in later generations also proves this.
However, Zhang Ning still made arrangements.
"Of course, you're right, we have to guard against it, and what we need to do in the future is to step up the development of more touch games. Of course, we don't just develop ourselves, in addition to our own development, we also need to work with all the video game companies around the world, so that all the game companies around the world can develop for us. β
"Xiao Ning, don't worry about this piece, we will deal with it. However, the other ones have some troubles. β
"You're talking about Microsoft, Nokia, and Apple."
"Yes, these three are very troublesome and may cause us a certain amount of pressure."
Chen Qingqing frowned, mentioning these three, he also had some tricky feelings.
"It's the same, let's talk about Microsoft first, Qingqing, what news did you get?"
"Microsoft, on the other hand, is said to have restarted a program called TabletPC."
βTabletPCοΌβ
For TabletPC, Zhang Ning seems a little unfamiliar.
However, Chen Qingqing was fully prepared for the investigation.
"The idea of the TabletPC project comes from the Dynabook in the 60s, which means a computer that can run, but some researchers have also translated it into an e-book or an e-book reader, which is the kind of functional e-book of our Meizu generation. However, due to the limitations of technology, the Dynabook, which could run computers, later became laptops. Microsoft's TabletPC program also comes from this. However, they didn't want to develop a laptop, they wanted to develop a tablet-based computer. β
"Tablet."
Zhang Ning nodded, understanding what was going on with TabletPC.
"Well, that's pretty much what Microsoft meant."
Chen Qingqing nodded, "As early as 2000, Microsoft had prepared this plan. However, they have not developed it because they are still constrained by technology and creativity. It is said that they developed a sample. However, Bill was not satisfied with the sample and eventually terminated the TabletPC project. It wasn't until the advent of our Meizu generation that TabletPC restarted again. β
"Bill has a lot of vision. I thought he would get a smart phone like most companies. β
"In fact, it is also influenced by our Meizu generation. What, Xiao Ning, are you not optimistic about Microsoft's tablet plan? I think it's very innovative, in fact, if our Meizu generation upgrades, isn't it just a tablet? I think we should also get into the tablet industry quickly, which is the trend of the future. If it is late, I am afraid, the tablet concept will be introduced to the world by Microsoft. This is not good for our Meizu generation. β
"There's no hurry."
Zhang Ning waved his hand.
"At present, we are still developing smartphones and tablet plans, but it can be a step later. Of course, we could have done research on this first, but now it's being rolled out, too soon. β
"Xiao Ning, wherever it's fast, I feel slow. Technological innovation is too fast, and our Meizu generation is too innovative. This kind of innovation gives people too many opportunities and too many ideas. If we had been a little slower, we would have invented something that we had invented, but in the end we would have made a wedding dress for someone else. β
Chen Qingqing seemed a little anxious, and even spoke much faster.
However, Zhang Ning is becoming more and more calm.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Qingqing, Microsoft will let them do it if they want to make a tablet."
"Xiao Ning, what do you think, have your heads been burned?"
Chen Qingqing had something incomprehensible.
"How can it be burned, do you think that people like me will let Microsoft take advantage?"
"Now that he has obviously taken advantage, you still let them push first."
"Let them push first is not the same as letting them take advantage, sometimes, it is not who launches first, who can win."
"It's getting more and more confused, Xiao Ning, just say it, what are your plans?"
"As I said earlier, my plan is to wait and let them launch it first."
"Oh my God......"
Chen Qingqing was a little crazy.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. In fact, it is not unreasonable to let them push first. Qingqing, you have to know that users will buy it if it is not a product, even if the product is very innovative. In fact, speaking of which, the products we are innovating now have already come out decades ago. There is only one bigger reason why they didn't succeed decades ago, except because they were constrained by technology. β
"What is it?"
"It's so innovative."
"Too innovative?"
"Yes, it's because they're so innovative that innovative users can't understand it."
Chen Qingqing didn't seem to understand, Zhang Ning continued to explain, "There is a good saying, you are one step faster than others, you are a smart person, you are two steps faster than others, you are a genius, and you are three steps faster than others, sorry, others will not regard you as a genius among geniuses, they will only regard you as a madman or a fool." It's the same with our products, our products are one step ahead of the market, then our products can sell very well. Our products are two steps ahead of the market, then, our products can be a global sensation. However, if our products are three steps ahead of the market, then, cup drama will be born. β
