Chapter 661: Redefined
For 2003, the real estate market fluctuations in Xiucheng were just small waves, and the real big event appeared in May of this year.
"Thank you, thank you all for here. We know, there's a big news story about Pan Han Entertainment recently, and we photographed, oh, or should I say thank you to the American paparazzi, they got a picture-"
Lei Jun stood on the stage in a clean white shirt, looked at the hundreds of spectators in the audience, measured his body with some excitement, and stretched out his hand to point to the rear projection screen behind him.
"It's this photo, some of you may not know much, the hero of this photo, Laurena. Powell. Jobs. Who is she? Oh, everyone seems to understand ......."
Lei Jun smiled with the audience, and then said: "That's right, she is the daughter of Apple CEO Steve Jobs." But we're not going to talk about the father-daughter relationship between them, but we're going to talk about that. Miss Laurenna's mobile entertainment product, the Charm X2, is a great motivation for our product managers. ”
"If even your competitor's daughter is using your product, that sounds really good."
"To be honest, I personally love the full touch screen operation of the Charm X2. This is our first full touchscreen product, and it's the one that has taken the world by storm. Some American media reported that although it was not officially released in the United States, it made every American Charm X2 more precious. But of course, this is not our reason, but the US Congress still has not lifted the ban on us. ”
However, it has also led to some problems, and many Toronto citizens have said that their city now has a lot more Charm X2 buyers. This has had a significant impact on the living environment of Toronto's citizens. As a result, Americans have given rise to a new profession, parallel traders. Their job is to buy Charm products in Canada. Then take it to the U.S. to sell. ”
"According to our MyMusic website, the number of downloads of genuine songs from North America reached 2 billion times last year. And these download requests. It comes from at least 20 million Charm X2. To be honest, I feel like the U.S. Congress's blockade of us, at least in the field of mobile entertainment, has gone completely bankrupt. ”
The applause from the audience rang out completely warmly with Lei Jun's announcement.
Who are these applauding? Why is Lei Jun here? What exactly are they doing?
In fact, the reason is very simple, Pan Han Group is about to release a new product. This is a product launch conference, in addition to the lucky customers and famous customers selected by lottery, there are media, distributors, peers and professional evaluation agency workers.
It should be said that more than 99% of these people have used the Meidong series products. From the original Charm M2 to the large-capacity Charm M5 with LCD screen. In 2001, the company launched the X1, which can play videos, and the X2, an MP4 product with a full touch screen. Although the brand is only a test of the Pan Han Group, it is now a world-renowned brand.
It represents the most cutting-edge technology in the field of mobile entertainment, and is the trend and trend of the times.
Every time it launches its products, it's a feast in the field of mobile entertainment.
As the head of Angel Investment of Six Ears Fund, it is not surprising that Lei Jun appears here, because today when Six Ears Fund has completed its mission, he has turned to the position of CEO of Pan Han Mobile Technology.
The follow-up products of the Charm series are all from him.
So this product launch. Naturally, he did not give in.
"But that's all in the past, and we are here today to bring the latest products of Panhan Mobile Technology to you."
"Let's take a look. This is the Charm Phone. Yes, it's a mobile phone from a mobile entertainment company, or rather. We're going to reinvent the phone today. ”
"Before that, who can sue me. What is a smartphone? It's a trendy topic, but it actually seems to me. At present, the mobile phones on the market are not so smart. Their smart routines are too limited, and generally speaking, it will have a full keyboard, be able to play music and access the Internet easily, and that's it. ”
"Where are they intelligent? No, it's not smart enough at all. The program of the Motorola phone is not recognized by Nokia phones, and between the different models of phones within Nokia, their programs are not universal. When will our so-called smartphones meet our needs for mobile apps? So I think there's going to be a different product that will put an end to this messy show. The most important thing is to make all the apps work on all phones, just like our desktop computer system. ”
"It's the Charm Phone, or I prefer to call it a personal mobile terminal."
"It's not just a phone, it's not just about making calls. Mobile entertainment, communication, access to the Internet, it can even penetrate into every corner of your life. ”
"It's so magical, let's see what it looks like now!"
……
"There are so many innovations in the mobile phone, but what I like the most is its friendly support for the mobile Internet. In the WIFI state, you can worry about mobile phone traffic and poor GSM communication rates, and with the smart router launched by Fanhan Group, you can even control your desktop computer, laptop, other mobile phones, and even our recently launched mobile TV. ”
"Yes, this qiē is built on the support of WIFI on the mobile phone, and at present, 80% of the countries in the world have popularized this technology. Well, we're sorry to say that this feature may not be available to users in the United States for the time being. Because the U.S. Congress has drafted a special WAPI standard on its own in order to block WIFI network equipment. Our WIFI devices are not yet WAPI compliant because they are not licensed to us. ”
"And our WIFI, as you know, is provided free of charge to WIFI alliance manufacturers. It has helped notebooks all over the world get rid of the trouble of network cables and truly realize mobile office. Now it will also help smartphones to achieve true mobile Internet applications. ”
Offstage, Tang Weide and Wang Hongfeng listened to it with red faces and red ears, and even their hands were swollen.
Wang Hongfeng watched Lei Jun's demonstration on the stage intently, and said to Tang Weide excitedly: "Old Tang, we have waited!" Three years ago, when I saw Mr. Zhou's prophecy at the Pan Han Research Institute, I was thinking about how long this day would be. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it came true so quickly! ”
"Yes, but don't be too happy, Wang." Tang Weide poured cold water on him and said: "The emergence of the mobile phone will inevitably lead to the decline of the MP3 and MP4 markets, which we agreed on at the beginning." It's just that we all think that this day will be at least three or four years later, and it may not be a good thing for us to replace it so quickly. ”
"No, it must be a good thing!"
Wang Hongfeng was undiminished, shook his head and said: "With the consistent practice of the Panhan Group, I will definitely not eat alone." The Charm Hands will lead the way and change the way people live. But for Pan Han Group, what is more valuable is the platform of the smart phone. You forget that they launched the mobile phone platform three years ago, but it directly drove Motorola out of the Chinese market, and Nokia also made the market extremely sluggish. ”
"From the perspective of Pan Han Group, since it cannot meet the diverse needs of users for mobile phones, it simply focuses on the high-end market. Let's think about it, finding a market segment of smart phones may not be impossible to enter the mobile phone industry. ”
"I hope you're right."
……
As Lei Jun said, the emergence of the mobile phone directly redefines the meaning of the mobile phone. A communication tool has been turned into a personal information terminal.
With smart routers, mobile Internet has never been so deeply rooted in people's lives.
But there was a group of people who were very dissatisfied, and they were very angry because they were excluded from this life.
That's the American people.
"Lift the ban on Pan Han Group!"
"We're going to charm our phones!"
"We want to use WIFI for free!"
"Die to the stupid politicians who speak for the big clique!"
At the foot of the U.S. Capitol Hill, such demonstrations have been going on for almost a week. At the beginning, I was just a die-hard fan of dozens of Meidong series products, then young people who watched Lei Jun's press conference on the Internet, and people who bought parallel Meidong mobile phones but found that most of the functions could not be used.
More and more people gathered, and on the seventh day, there were already more than 1,000 protesters on the road that Gong Ju had walked on at the foot of Capitol Hill.
As soon as the WIFI technology of Panhan Group appeared, it attracted Nokia and Ericsson with patent swaps, and attracted more mobile communication equipment manufacturers with the advantage of free of charge. Coupled with the fact that the WAPI routers used by Cisco cannot open the market in other countries except the United States, today's WIFI Alliance is not at all inferior to the historical one.
It's just that the dominance of the alliance is now in the hands of the Pan Han Group.
Nowadays, the U.S. government seems to have a tendency to cocoon itself. There are also different voices in Congress on whether to lift the ban on the Pan Han group.
After all, a few years have passed, and the capitals that supported Cisco at the beginning have now seen the situation clearly.
Cisco's momentum is gone, and even in the United States, time may be running out. In that case, all we have to do now is to see how much we can sell it for. (To be continued......)
