Chapter 350 [Azure-3 Press Conference]
New headquarters on the Côte d'Azur.
On the morning of September 22, Luo Sheng came to the company's new headquarters "Galaxy City", which is the latest landmark building in Sioux City, and is across the lake from another landmark building, the new headquarters of Bluestar Technology, "Mobius Ring".
Both have a close relationship with Luo Sheng, and the two major buildings and the science and technology complex are also the hands of the architect Zaha Hadid.
Galaxy City is from the end of the year to be fully put into use, but some areas can already be applied, and the new product launch of the Cte d'Azur is scheduled for a large indoor gathering venue in Galaxy City.
"Mr. Luo, in terms of ticket sales for the press conference, more than 7,500 tickets were sold out within three days, making a small profit." Yao Jianhong, who accompanied him, said with a smile.
This time, the press conference is not free of charge, but of ticket sales.
Today's Côte d'Azur company is globally recognized as the leader in the field of smartphones, and its popularity is not comparable to that of three years ago.
Luo Sheng said with a smile: "The site maintenance fee is also very expensive, you can earn a little if you can earn a little, earn what you should earn, and put it when you should put it, so that the company can become bigger and stronger...... Let's go, let's go inside. ”
The headquarters of Galaxy City can be said to be spectacular, and a large number of related pictures can be found on the Internet, all of which were taken by melon-eating netizens or some tourists in Sioux City.
Sioux City, which has money, is now planning a new, bigger and better airport, and the infrastructure of the entire city is being upgraded.
It is said that Zaha Hadid also took the order, this "deconstructivist" architect is himself prolific, and secondly, the three current landmark buildings in Sioux City are originally from her, and there are potential advantages to making this list.
"Yes, good job, let's rehearse in the next three days." Luo Sheng came to the press conference site to investigate, and was generally satisfied, and the on-site staff were still busy building the venue.
The foundry of the third-generation Azure smartphone is still contracted by Piard, and with the help of the Cote d'Azur take-off, Piardi has faintly the strength to call Fushikang on the road to OEM.
This time, the first batch of orders for the third-generation Azure mobile phone is 75 million units, and the company's internal performance outlook strives for the annual shipment of new products to reach more than 70 million units, accounting for about 6% of the total global mobile phone shipments.
When the Azure phone was first introduced in 2007, the company's market share expectation of 1% was met.
That's 10 million units shipped.
Starting today, there is only one week left before the product launch, and the eyes of the technology community are all focused on it, including consumer electronics users around the world.
You must know that the Criviera has not released a new product for two years, and now in the last week, the publicity side has also started as scheduled, and it has begun to warm up on a global scale.
The autumn launch of the new product of the Cote d'Azur company was hotly discussed on the Internet, which mobilized the appetite of countless consumers for a while.
……
On September 27, after two years of silence in 2006, the Cote d'Azur company, which was hailed as the world-changing and redefining smartphone in 2006, finally ushered in the moment of launching its latest product.
The global media focused on this press conference, and the domestic version of Bluestar Video and the international version of BluestarVideo broadcast the whole process, and the Cte d'Azur official also prepared a professional English translator for this purpose, so that overseas users who pay attention to the product can know the specific content of the press conference.
As for other languages or something, then honestly wait for the media or some video UP to translate the subtitles or something.
In addition, executives from other manufacturers are also extremely concerned throughout the process, such as Xiaomi's Rebus, vivo's Shen Wei, not to mention Coolpad and the like, the same is true for foreign manufacturers, such as HTC, Samsung, and traditional mobile phone manufacturers.
It must be said that there have been some copycats in Huaqiangbei now, and the appearance of industrial design is almost high to more than 95%, and it is really difficult to distinguish whether this is a genuine Azure mobile phone or a copycat machine just from the appearance.
But unfortunately, the internal operating system and hardware are what Huaqiangbei can never do, especially the chip, which can never be imitated.
In fact, whether it is a mobile phone CPU or a computer CPU, when it comes to high-end chips, there will basically be no counterfeit and shoddy goods, at most only second-hand goods may be packaged as original goods and circulated in the market.
The complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process and the depth of global collaboration are there.
Suppose which copycat company can imitate a CPU with the same performance, either it is co-opted by the state or various venture capital companies come over waving banknotes and use the name of copycat?
……
Early this morning, at dawn, the behind-the-scenes staff was already busy.
At around 8:40 in the morning, the audience who bought tickets entered Galaxy City one after another, and of course, some media guests were directly invited, but about 70% of the audience were consumer users and die-hard fans.
The ordinary melon-eating masses entered the new headquarters of the Cote d'Azur for the first time, "Galaxy City", and it was also the expression of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
The building has an obvious Hardy style, that is, there are no obvious edges and corners, but at a glance it is full of a sense of geometric structure, which in turn brings a perfect sublimation of a sense of technology.
"This is the new headquarters on the Côte d'Azur?"
"To be honest, I'm super envious of the employees on the Côte d'Azur, and it's not too good to work in a place like this."
"No wonder everyone wants to recognize Sect Master Luo as the boss, and they all want to enter Bluestar Technology or the Cote d'Azur, and the 'best employer' is worthy of its name."
"The benefits are so good that people are envious and jealous, and even the company that buys houses for employees has subsidies, who doesn't want to work with Mr. Luo?"
"Well, the sect leader has successfully redefined the technology company in my mind with the new headquarters of the Cote d'Azur, this is the real technology company, at first glance, it is playing high-tech, and the atmosphere is high-grade."
The audience who entered the press conference hall was talking along the way, the media reporters who came here were also capturing the scene, and the new headquarters of the Côte d'Azur company was also the subject of the report, which is also worth writing about.
However, the new headquarters has not yet been officially put into operation, and this time it is only the first time that the venue for the press conference has been put into use, because it is of great significance.
……
At nine o'clock, the press conference was already overcrowded, full of seats, and as far as the eye could see, it was crowded.
When Luo Sheng walked from the backstage to the stage with his classic IT style, he detonated the atmosphere of the audience as soon as he appeared, and the warm applause lasted for a long time, with some fanatical analysis shouts.
In this situation, at this moment, many friends and businessmen who pay attention to this conference are all envious, and they are really envious of Luo Sheng's influence and popularity index.
He has broken borders with amazing and excellent products that are sought after by consumers all over the world.
"Good morning, it's really nice to be here with everyone." On the stage, Luo Sheng added with a smile: "Thank you for your enthusiasm!" ”
The foreigners on the scene all brought translators, and there were professional staff to translate on the spot, but only English translations were available, and foreigners who came to the scene could understand English, after all, this is the current international lingua franca.
"We have put in a great effort to prepare super exciting content for our launch today, and I'm very excited because there are more than 8,000 attendees today, which is the limit of what the venue can accommodate, they come from 70 different countries and regions, and the tickets for the launch were sold out in three days, and we apologize to the customers who were unable to attend because they didn't have tickets to buy, this is the largest indoor venue we can arrange."
Luo Sheng changed his words and said with a smile: "But you can watch it through live webcast channels such as Bluestar Video or BluestarVideo, and the press conference will be broadcast live worldwide." ”
Hearing his words, people in the industry can only marvel and sigh with emotion, Bluestar Technology Group, the world's most valuable technology company at the moment, was also created by this man.
On the stage, Luo Sheng was holding a small remote control on the wireless end in his hand, and the big screen behind him also appeared.
"Before I introduce the new product, I would like to say a few very important pieces of good news. As of last week, we had more than 300,000 apps in the AOS App Store and more than 7 billion downloads, which is more than the total population of the planet. But I prefer the following set of data, as you know, 70% of the revenue of the AOS app store goes to developers, so how much have we paid developers so far? ”
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control and looked back at the giant screen: "Just a few days ago, this figure reached 3.01 billion US dollars!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of applause, and there were also a lot of third-party developers at home and abroad, although the Cote d'Azur company took 30% of the share from it, but it was very satisfied with the management of the AOS application ecology of the Cote d'Azur, which was much better than Luo Sheng's iOS ecology in the previous life.
Many ordinary developers have made a lot of money in the AOS ecosystem, and they have great confidence to continue to work in it, and for users, the experience is much better than that of an open source ecosystem like Android, at least there will be no love for you to be pushed by various advertisements to give up treatment.
"That's why the AOS ecosystem can become the most dynamic development community in the world, a good ecosystem not only has a better experience for users, but also creates more revenue for developers, which is a two-way positive cycle, and we hope to continue to maintain it," said Luo Sheng on stage. ”
"Next, let's talk about Azure mobile phone, the media is full of various third-party data, market statistics reports, etc., some are reliable, some are pure nonsense, I have prepared two sets of data here for your reference."
Saying that, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, and once again looked at the screen behind him: "The first set of data is about the market share report of North American smartphones in the second quarter of this year, BlackBerry mobile phones ranked first with a share of 35%, the second is Azure mobile phones, accounting for about 33% of the share, Windows mobile phones ranked third with 19%, Android mobile phones 9%, and others. ”
Luo Sheng turned back to the audience: "You must know that RIM is a year older than me, and the Cote d'Azur has only been established for five years, and it has entered the North American market more than a year later than other regions, and the market share of Azure phones is 3.6 times that of Android." ”
There was warm applause at the scene.
After a while, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control and looked back at the big screen: "The second set of data is also from North America, the data is a mobile browser usage survey report, Azure accounts for 68%, more than three times that of the second place Android 22%, this is the latest data report." ”
It's just a show off of Chiguoguo to stimulate the majority of friends, and now the major mobile phone manufacturers in China that have just been established will not release their first products until next year at the earliest.
The first is waiting for the Cote d'Azur to release the open source system WOS, and the second is that the manufacturing industry is really not just about doing it, the supply chain, payment, research and development, talents, etc. have to be prepared, unlike Internet companies that can immediately launch products.
You must know that the Cote d'Azur has worked hard, and it took three years for Luo Sheng to release the first product, and other friends do not have the financial resources and R&D capabilities of him.
"Let's go back to the phone itself." Luo Sheng's voice resounded throughout the audience again, and he said methodically: "Today in 2006, the release of Azure-X changed everything, in 2007, we added 3G support, and in 2008, we ...... Blank. We didn't release a new product this year, so that today in 2009, so that we could take the biggest step since the first generation of products today. ”
"So today, we're launching Azure-3. If Azure in 2006 redefined the smartphone, then the Azure-3 launched today redefines the Azure phone; If the launch of the first two generations of products meant the success of the participant role, then the launch of Azure-3 today is positioned as a disruptor in the industry. ”
Luo Sheng's words resounded throughout the audience, and there was a sense of confidence and arrogance between the lines.
As soon as the words ended, the audience resounded with long-lasting warm applause.
"Oh——!"
Fans are shouting and screaming, and it seems that they are really super idols in their hearts, and they speak domineeringly.
Judging from Luo Sheng's tone, the products released today will subvert people's imagination.
Consumers and users are full of anticipation, media people are looking sideways, and industry professionals and friends are a little stunned.
