North America, Seattle single flagship store.

As early as a week and a half ago, a large number of American consumers began to queue up for the Cte d'Azur flagship store in Seattle, which may be the first time that North American mobile phone consumers have been so crazy about a consumer electronics product from China.

It was not easy for the Cote d'Azur company to enter the North American market, with many twists and turns in the middle, and a whole year of delay, but after unremitting efforts, it finally came in.

Prior to this, Zhongxing mobile phones have entered the North American market, and now they have also gained more than 30 million users in this market, but they are still a small amount compared to the current Cote d'Azur.

There are two sides to everything, and North American consumers have been hungry for almost a whole year, and the new models are simply hungry for new launches.

The haze of the subprime mortgage crisis does not stop the enthusiasm of consumers, especially for advanced technology products, as long as they can touch the hearts of European and American consumers, they will not be stingy with the dollar bills in their hands, the price of six or seven hundred dollars is not cheap, but it is not to the point where they cannot afford to spend, even if the economic crisis comes, the worst situation is about 10% of the unemployed people.

Isn't it that 90% of people are not unemployed, and the positioning group is the middle-income group, Luo Sheng's goal is only to win 1% of the global market share is to succeed.

"I'm going to buy a 16GB model, thank you."

"16GB model, thank you."

"$799, cash or credit card, please?"

"Swipe your card."

At this moment, the popularity of this single store in Seattle for the first time is spectacular, and the consumers who come to order are endless, and the long queue is extremely popular.

As an ordinary consumer, the Azure series of smartphones on the Cote d'Azur has a beautiful industrial design, a revolutionary desktop-level user interface, a rich app store, and other third-party developer apps from Bluestar Technology, Google, Yahoo, and other third-party developers.

After purchasing the product, many users can't wait to enter the AOS app store and download the major APP applications of Bluestar Technology Group, whether it is the social networking site BlueSpace, MicroBlog or Reddit, or Google applications, which are all must-have APP applications for smartphones.

But the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the music store MusicSpace, and now that Apple finally knows the hardware that the rival relies on, the combination of [MusicSpace + Azure] has begun to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on Apple's [iTunes + iPod] combination.

As the CEO of Motorola said, there are only three things that people take with them when they travel: wallets, keys, and mobile phones.

This advantage is unmatched by the iPod, and there is no reason for a user with an Azure smartphone to spend a few hundred dollars extra on an iPod, because by downloading the music store MusicSpace from the Azure phone, they can get the music experience of the iPod, or even have a better user experience.

This is a self-evident blow to Apple, which has released a new product, Azure-3G, for the first time in a year, and this year also includes the North American market, and the hot scene of its sale has hit Apple's stock price hard.

In order to save the decline, Joe Gang Leader this time bet his hopes of a comeback on a product that had been shelved - the tablet iPad.

The long-prepared iPhone project was temporarily shelved by him, and the tsundere Joe gang leader did not want Apple to become a follower of the Cote d'Azur, he still wanted to be a changemaker, so he had high hopes for the tablet.

As early as 2000, the iPad was already an extremely important project within Apple, starting as a secret project based on multi-touch screen development, and has been carefully protected by Joe's gangster, but in the end multi-touch screen technology was preempted by the Côte d'Azur.

Two years later, Apple's hardware development department had the first iPad prototype, but the tablet plan was postponed indefinitely due to the heavy machine and poor battery performance.

Later, the CEO of Motorola found Qiao to help the owner make a mobile phone together, but the result was a fiasco, and the iPhone plan began to brew, but the iPhone plan was seriously delayed because of the licensing issues of many technologies such as multi-touch screen and Luo Sheng, and the Cte d'Azur launched the Azure mobile phone in 2006, and the iPhone is now facing the embarrassing situation of difficult birth.

At the moment, the situation for Apple is very bad, even frustrating, in order to regain glory, the iPad plan that has been put into the cold palace for five years has been "flopped" by Joe's gang again.

As the year drew closer to the end of the year, the subprime mortgage crisis was still mired in a quagmire, with Bank of America, Citibank and Morgan Stanley agreeing to spend at least $75 billion to help the market out of the crisis, followed by Bank of America leading Citigroup, JPMorgan and Chase to raise $80 billion for the super fund.

But even that can't stop the overall deterioration of North American housing market indicators, which are already a bottomless pit, with existing home sales falling for eight consecutive months in October, and the S&P/Shiller National Home Price Index falling 1.7% q/q in the third quarter, the largest quarterly decline in 21-year history.

In mid-November, technology stocks finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to show a downward trend across the board, with Bluestar Technology Group's stock falling 3.63% to $137.65 per share, and the company's total market capitalization fell below the $200 billion mark, temporarily locked in at $199.58 billion.

However, in the context of the decline in the technology sector across the board, the market value of Bluestar Technology has fallen second only to the first-place Microsoft Corporation, while the market value of Google, which ranks third, has fallen to $171.4 billion.

The winter of capital is coming.

And this is just a cold wind that has just blown, and more violent storms are yet to come.

Luo Sheng occasionally pays attention to the trend of the general environment, but under the panic in the market, he is not panicked at all, Bluestar Technology Group earlier got the third financing from Goldman Sachs of $4 billion, the company's current book capital exceeds $16 billion, in the next cold winter when cash is king, Bluestar Technology has sufficient cash flow.

……

On the afternoon of November 17, the "Virtual Idol" development department.

"This is a set of intelligent voice software system that I have preliminarily written, but it needs to be further optimized and upgraded, and the follow-up development will be handed over to you." At this moment, Luo Sheng convened a meeting with Xu Yong and other members of the technical department.

"To Hatsune Miku?" Xu Yong immediately intervened in the computer and looked at the documents brought by Luo Sheng.

"Not all, this voice software system is owned by the Cote d'Azur, but it is open to Bluestar Technology." Luo Sheng said, although the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, but the brothers still have to settle the accounts, and the process must be done well, so as not to gossip about it on Wall Street.

After a while, Luo Sheng added: "The product has a high degree of linkage attributes and complementarity, and this software system is actually the intelligent voice butler assistant I developed for the Azure series of mobile phones, and the avatar chooses to use Hatsune Miku." ”

He Chao said excitedly when he heard it: "From film and television, music, endorsements, e-sports, etc...... Boss, this game of chess is very big. ”

Even if it is a superstar among human beings, no one can get such a huge resource to support, but Hatsune Miku enjoys the promotion resources that countless stars are envious of, which is simply the rhythm of Bluestar Technology's "pro-daughter".

made "Hatsune Miku" popular, and in the linkage with the voice assistant of the Azure series of mobile phones, the dead house has a new reason to change their mobile phones.

A little outbreak, more flowering, this is the advantage of the whole family bucket linkage, this advantage makes other peers envious and jealous.

The interconnection between major products can form a strong set of ecological closed loops, so as to bloom more, not expecting a user to immediately like all the products of Bluestar Technology or the Cote d'Azur, but as long as one of the products and services can impress users, then consumption will naturally be expanded.

The value generation of potential customers is unmatched.
