Chapter 191 [Google, Come and Play~]

Offline stores in China continue to be popular, and this is also the case overseas.
In the European market, the Cote d'Azur has more offline stores than in China, and the popularity of each offline store is full, and mobile phone users who have learned the news through advertising or online channels are constantly rushing to the nearest offline store to experience.
For the creation of offline stores, Luo Sheng has never been stingy with budget.
For example, a single flagship store in Germany, on the Danube River, was designed by a studio called Modostudio, and the overall appearance of this flagship store is a single herringbone geometric structure, and the use of glass and thick wood structure design is used to unify the local natural landscape with the unique historical context of the city.
To do business on someone else's territory, you have to integrate into the local culture and customs, and the highest level is to make local consumers have the illusion that this is a local company.
Like the flagship store in Norway, the single flagship store was designed by an architect called Reiulf, and the entire building is composed of loose angular geometry and is covered with glass that is combined in vertical stripes.
Detail design is often difficult, and another difficult reason is that Party A may not be able to afford the price, but fortunately, Luo Sheng is not short of money and is not stingy with money.
In this flagship store in Norway, the glass can reach 30 meters, and the level of craftsmanship of the whole piece of cutting is very expensive, and there are few manufacturers in the world that can make such glass.
Facts have proved that it is right to build a tall single flagship store.
These offline stores of the Cote d'Azur company, especially the single flagship store, are very eye-catching, both at home and abroad, and even some people who have not heard of it will be attracted.
Germany's single flagship store was very popular on the first day of developing an experience for consumers, and it has been proved that mass consumers prefer touch-screen mobile phones, and Azure-X has taken the lead in impressing consumers from the industrial design.
After unlocking the screen, it deeply attracted consumers.
For most Europeans, at the beginning, they thought that this was a product of Europe or North America, until they understood that this product was from Asia, so they thought that this was a product of this company, and Europeans and Americans knew Sony, and knew that they were also famous in the field of consumer electronics.
As a result, they found out that it was still wrong, and this product actually came from a mysterious and backward country in their eyes.
What is even more surprising to Europeans is that such a tall flagship store and the concept interpreted by its products are all full of a sense of science and technology, and the inherent cognition makes them not even think that this may be a product from a Huaguo technology company.
Time goes by day and there are countless experiencers of the major flagship stores, which continue to become popular.
The huge publicity cost of 180 million US dollars was quickly exhausted in the following October, and Luo Sheng very decisively approved the publicity budget of 150 million US dollars again, which was mainly used for publicity in overseas markets.
In the past month, CΓ΄te d'Azur's Azure-X has been the subject of more than 3,000 magazine articles, with about 15 million searches on Google.
Many consumers are the first to experience it in major offline stores.
The product has not yet been launched, but it is the first to release the experience, and there are not enough self-confidence that few manufacturers dare to play like this.
Even those international manufacturers may not dare, after all, just look at the total cost of Azure-X, Luo Sheng's performance is one thing, but this can't hide the fact that it's really not a small amount.
In addition, there are also a large number of tech bloggers who introduce this mobile phone on their homepages, and they do not hesitate to call it "God Mobile", some of these tech bloggers are spontaneous, and some of them are charged with advertising fees on the CΓ΄te d'Azur.
It's impossible for all of this to be without consumers being affected, and the intuitive experience is the popularity of offline stores and the continued popularity of the topic on Reddit.
The Cote d'Azur is moving from a virtually unknown technology company to a new tech company that already has a global reputation.
It's really a product that has made a global reputation.

In October, Luo Sheng began to actively prepare for the first global developer conference of AOS, and invited major Internet companies at home and abroad.
AOS's first Worldwide Developers Conference is scheduled for October 5th.
β¦β¦
North America, Google Corporate Headquarters.
It's three days before the AOS developer conference, and Google's top brass is coming together to discuss the matter.
Eric Schmidt said at the meeting: "This is Luo Sheng's invitation to Google to participate in the AOS developer conference in the name of the Cote d'Azur, and the letter shows that he sincerely invites Google's series of services including Google Search, Google Maps and other services to be able to develop applications based on the AOS system. β
Paipa, who was sitting in the chief position, crossed his chin with his fingers folded: "Have you read Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's comments on Azure-X?" β
The crowd nodded.
With the end of the Azure-X mobile phone conference, time passes day by day, and many bigwigs in the Silicon Valley technology circle have jumped out to comment, and the current head of Microsoft is one of them, but he seems to be the same as those traditional mobile phone manufacturers, and he is not optimistic.
Ballmer commented publicly some time ago that his exact words were as follows:
[Azure-X doesn't have any chance of gaining significant market share, there's no chance, it's a $600 fungible, and if you really go and look at the billion phones that have been sold, I'd rather get our software down to 60 percent, or even 70 percent, or 80 percent, than just take 1 percent of the market, and Azure-X is too expensive to sell at $600 vs. $800. ]
A Google executive at the meeting said: "I went to Europe some time ago and happened to experience it for a few minutes in an offline store for Azure-X phones, which I think fits most of the hype from its previous launch. β
Sergey Brin: "What doesn't fit?" β
The other person replied, "Uh...... What doesn't fit is that the sales staff in the specialty store said that the product on sale would be more perfect, and who knows, maybe some of the things about this mobile device were not fully shown at the launch. β
Larry Page was quick to speak: "I don't agree with Ballmer, even in version 1.0 of the conference, I think Azure-X should still be the most advanced and forward-thinking electronics in years, and I watched the launch and he did a lot of things so well that it was so enjoyable that you would like to forgive Azure-X for some of the little flaws that still exist on it." β
Eric Schmidt said: "I think this time Luo Sheng's invitation, Google is going. Because he is still the head of Bluestar Technology, there is no doubt that some services of Bluestar Technology have landed in AOS, and if Google does not go, it is very likely that he will make Bluestar Technology have to develop new business sectors, such as entering the map service to compete with Google Maps, and entering the search field to compete with Google Search. β
Page said without hesitation: "I agree, then go ahead." β
Although Google has been leading the world in the search engine, including Google Maps services, etc., if Bluestar Technology also enters these markets, even if it is not afraid, it is definitely not what Google wants to see, and no one wants to create a competitor for no reason, which will increase variables.
The key is that Bluestar Technology should not be underestimated, Page has not forgotten the huge financing of $7.5 billion some time ago, as long as Luo Sheng is willing, these funds are enough for Bluestar Technology Group to bring the war to all corners of the Internet.
Page proved to be right, this is a backup option for Luo Sheng, the main purpose of the $7.5 billion financing is to acquire Sun Computer, if the acquisition does not achieve the expansion of cloud computing services, but other than that, it is for the AOS ecological chain, through the Bluestar Technology Group at the software level to enrich the AOS ecological chain.
The related Internet services are moved to the mobile Internet as much as possible, and it is true that everyone is collecting firewood and the flame is high, but no one comes to play, and they have to play alone, at least Bluestar Technology Group can set up the ecological chain.
On October 3rd, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt was personally invited, in addition to the head of Yahoo and other Silicon Valley bigwigs.
