Chapter 251: A New Idea
For the next goal, Duke has already chosen, and that is the TV market with the largest number of users in the world. Compared with the mobile phone market, the total number of users in this market is even more than that.
Although this market now seems to be a sunset market, with 250 million units sold a year, the number of views alone is much smaller than that of mobile phones, after all, TVs have a much longer lifespan than mobile phones.
But Duke does not think that this market has no chance at all, when Jobs advertised to enter the mobile phone market, many industry experts also thought that Jobs was crazy, because the mobile phone market is already highly saturated, and there is an almost invincible giant like Nokia.
But with the iPhone that Steve Jobs redefined the concept of mobile phones, he broke into the top end of the mobile phone market in one fell swoop, and quickly achieved great success. The mobile phone industry has been almost redefined. Born in a sunset industry, it has created a huge gold-absorbing product for Apple.
The TV market was also a peep at by Jobs, but unfortunately he died young, resulting in the later launch of iTV nondescript, mediocre response, completely without the momentum of the iPhone to subvert the entire industry, annihilated invisibly.
But Duke doesn't believe in evil, so far, he has owned the most core parts of the new generation of smart TVs, including the autonomous operating system, which can completely share the mobile phone system, the high-end display under development and the customized CPU has been extremely convenient voice control technology.
It's fair to say that Duke has laid an extremely strong foundation for a new generation of smart TVs in terms of key technologies and components, and now it's time to use the imagination and redefine the TV once again.
In Duke's view, a real smart TV must go beyond simply receiving and watching programs, but should be a more comprehensive integration of multiple media in the family, which can fully intervene in or change the entertainment and living habits of a family user.
But the TV is by no means as simple as a simple computer and monitor, if so, this market has long been flooded with all kinds of so-called smart TVs.
In Duke's mind, the external hardware of a real smart TV is closer to a tablet with many times magnification. But the real connotation is far more than that, just like the iPhone back then, it is not just a mobile phone with some computer functions, but a personal entertainment communication center that concentrates applications and entertainment life.
What will happen to the world when televisions are no longer just used to watch TV?
Duke is very much looking forward to the day when his products can occupy a person's life, get up to work that day, remember to bring his own mobile phone, walk on the road, be able to let the beautiful music accompany, and can also brag and fart on a Q friend who is very familiar to him in his life, although a person seems to be a little stupid talking to himself.
Then when you are on a business trip, you can demonstrate and explain to customers, and you don't have to drag heavy luggage, but take your mobile phone directly to the customer's projection, and get a successful pre-sales speech concisely and elegantly.
When I got home, I turned on the SAL production TV, watched TV when I wanted to watch TV, listened to songs when I wanted to listen to songs, played games when I wanted to play games, bought things when I wanted to buy things, and called my friends directly when I wanted to chat, and even forgot that there is such a thing as a computer in this world.
But to do this, Duke wants a TV ecosystem that is more complex and large than a mobile phone, a content provider, an entertainment and shopping portal, and what Duke wants to do is to occupy the desktop of the terminal in this ecological chain, just like the penguins in the Internet era.
To build the TV into the terminal of people's daily life entertainment, to solve almost 90% of people's needs, I have to say that Duke's grand idea really subverts the definition of TV, if it really comes to this day, Duke is no longer a company that simply sells disposable products, but has become a company that controls the entrance of people's entertainment life.
Such a future will be completely beyond people's imagination today. What kind of world is it when there is no barrier between mobile phones, TVs and computers?! It's exciting to think about.
Three days later, Duke perfected the idea, and with the presentation document and the translator's main translation engine module code that Zhao Jianwu needed, Shi Shiran came to the company, and then called a few brothers over.
"Brother Wu, this is what you want, don't forget, you can keep the source code yourself, you can see it yourself when you have time, and change it yourself if you have any problems, this thing took me several days of effort, and you will only have to rely on yourself in the future, I don't care." Duke handed the USB flash drive to Zhao Jianwu, who came to the meeting, and said jokingly.
"Don't worry, this is a priceless baby, hehe" Zhao Jianwu got the thing, and said with a rare smile: "This thing comes out, and the children's shoes who simply learn English can change their careers, and after a few years, this thing will be popularized, and our brothers will go abroad, and basically there will be no need to translate or anything." ”
"You dream, how much do you really expect this thing to sell, most people who stay in their own country are useless to take this thing, people in business demand accuracy, and they won't rest assured with this" Dong Feng hit Zhao Jianwudao.
"What's even more annoying is that you still have to pair this thing to use, otherwise even if you can understand what the other party says, the other party still can't understand what you say, you can't buy a pair as soon as you buy it, you have to communicate with the other party, and lend him one temporarily, right?"
"Hey, madman, that's a good suggestion." Zhao Jianwu was not only not hit by this, but was like a treasure, "We really made a pair to sell this thing, anyway, the cost is only the price of an MP3, even if it is a pair, it is not too expensive, if it can be sold for 300 or 400 US dollars, it will be a huge profit." ”
"$300, $400, then you have to sell it," Dong Feng didn't believe that this single-function thing could be sold for such an expensive price.
"Don't believe it, you must know that if you go to an English course casually now, three or four thousand yuan is cheap, and how much time you have to take to learn may not be able to reach the level of understanding foreigners." Cai Siqiang explained with a smile. "So there should be a market for this thing, but I don't know how big it is, anyway, the thing has already been made, and we will know if we try the water in a batch of mass production."
"But Duke, this time you shouldn't call the brothers to chat because of this matter" It can be seen that Cai Siqiang is not too concerned about this thing, this thing may be a good thing in his opinion, and the sales of this thing may be more than one billion dollars, which is a great product in ordinary companies, but now under SAL, the navigators that sell tens of billions of dollars are now reduced to little brothers.
"Of course there's something big to discuss." Duke smiled and turned on the computer, plugged in the projector, and explained his idea in detail.
The response was not at all as enthusiastic as expected. Because several brothers are gone.
PS: Fourth Update! For the book friend "Liang Zhu is a good person" to cheer for the game, woo, it's too enthusiastic, and there is a new one, this plus more stunned can't be subtracted! There are still 11 plus more left!
