Kou Shaoli, a columnist for Southern Metropolis Daily, put a thick stack of magazines and newspapers next to his desk, propped his head and pondered.
For half a month, reports about the imminent launch of smartphones by Infinity have flooded newspapers across the country and around the world.
Even in the West, there are many media outlets that have spent a lot of space on the changes that smartphones will bring, and have speculated and looked forward to the impact of human life on the future.
It is unprecedented for a Chinese company to make headlines in Western newspapers many times and to attract sustained attention.
As a science and technology columnist, in the face of this trend, Kou Shaoli also wrote a lot of related reports.
However, he now feels that such reports seem to be one-sided.
Although there are a lot of them, the smartphones of Infinity, after all, have not yet been officially launched and cannot access more substance.
And he just wants to touch the essence behind this trend and write a high-quality report.
His gaze crossed over the two headlines of "intelligence leading the trend" and "leaping into the electronic age", and he didn't feel laughing, some emerging domestic network media always like to attract people's attention and use such sensational titles.
It is undeniable that China's scientific and technological progress in recent years has been very rapid, but in the field of microelectronics, we still have a big gap from the West, and even the island country next door is also far ahead of us.
However, the Chinese people need such a positive stimulus.
After all, there has never been a product that can arouse the attention of so many people at home and abroad.
Kou Shaoli has to admire Infinity Company, it is only the first time to enter the mobile phone industry, it has caused such a big sensation, and the hardships and R&D funds to be paid are probably calculated in a massive amount.
It is really the first high-tech private enterprise in China.
He restrained his mind, opened an office software, and wanted to tap a few bytes, but in the face of the computer screen, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Even the most picky people sincerely praise the advantages of this office software, which integrates word processing, tables, icons, pictures, and music and video materials." ”
"It is precisely because of this that in the computer software market, the renewal rate of this software is also surprisingly high."
"When Windows+ fell into weak sales due to pirated software, this office software still sold strongly, and there is a tendency to catch up with the Windows platform and expand to other operating systems."
Countless system software companies in the world are speaking out, cursing the discrimination rules of Infinity, and threatening to file an antitrust lawsuit, demanding that other system versions of this office software be framed as soon as possible.
The software department of Infinity did not refuse, but said that the transplant was somewhat difficult, and it was working hard to rush the work, and it was expected to be launched in 2006!
However, it is said that a third version of the Indows 7 system will be launched next year.
By the time Infinity brought the office software ported version to the market, Windows 7 had already taken over the world's PC operating platform!
In this way, although Infinity's Dimensity computer was blocked by the high tariffs imposed by the United States, Infinity changed its course with the brains of their boss, took out the magic weapon of the operating system, and cooperated with Microsoft.
After a combination of punches, they finally succeeded in taking root in the PC market.
And expand its influence to the whole world.
In Kou Shaoli's heart, there was a faint premonition.
Things will not be so simple, several general managers of Infinity are very strong people, and they will definitely not be satisfied with achieving success in the software market and give up the hardware market for personal computers.
They will inevitably attack the entire West again.
It's just that this time I don't know what kind of means they will use to achieve this goal.
Maybe the upcoming smartphone is one of them?
Kou Shaoli immediately closed the office software, he was going to spend a little time to seriously investigate this matter and find the clues.
Of course, to write a sensational article, it is necessary to find evidence of reliability.
The next day, Kou Shaoli, a columnist for the Southern Metropolis Daily, took his miniature recorder and a camera around his neck to Huaqiangbei, Futian District, South China City.
These things are still the equipment he configured when he was an undercover reporter in his early years.
After all, many well-known companies now have some problems, and there are many chaos, illusions, and routines that consumers can't guard against.
But what does the exposure of these problems depend on?
Is it just an overt investigation?
Who provides some of the dark sources?
Of course, it's them undercover reporters.
Since the press conference on Infinity's smartphones, there have been countless reporters who have gathered at the gates of Infinity's campus all day long, hoping to get their hands on the smartphones.
But the security personnel of Infinity are not vegetarians.
Almost all of them are made up of veterans, and with the peculiarities of the company's business, it is impossible to get a glimpse of what is really going on inside the park without consent.
People don't give you preferential treatment just because you're a journalist.
That's why he found another way to go to the largest electronics wholesale market in South China to see if he could get some news.
At this time, Huaqiangbei can open the door to do business with a safe, a calculator, an account book, and a mobile phone.
Backed by the abundant supporting resources of electronic components in the electronic store, when the customer comes to the door, the merchant only needs to confirm the list of components to the customer, and then transfer the goods to complete, and the business will become.
With the transformation of South China from "three to one supplement" to high-tech industries, high-tech electronic products such as DVDs, digital cameras, and MP3s have become hot sellers.
Especially after joining the WTO, Huaqiangbei's influence has even extended to foreign countries, and even India's computer city sells "products from Huaqiangbei".
In the electronics market, Kou Shaoli saw a dazzling array of electronic products.
Almost all of them are the latest models in China.
With the opening of the market economy and the increasingly fierce competition of electronic products, many private enterprises racked their brains and began to spend a lot of thought on the appearance design of their products.
Just like an ordinary MP3, in addition to the small and delicate volume, the shell is also replaced with a silver frosted one, with a three-dimensional and rounded guide angle, which makes people have a strange "sense of luxury" and "sense of technology" at a glance, thus emerging an inexplicable desire to buy.
If it weren't for Kou Shaoli's limited activity funds, he couldn't help but pay for it.
However, in addition to being famous for electronic products, Huaqiangbei is also a well-known mobile phone "parallel import" market in the country.
A large number of copycat and refurbished machines are sold here, plus batteries, shells, and some custom parts, and a "self-developed" mobile phone can be produced in a week or even a few days.
Kou Shaoli saw a round "flashlight", which can be loaded with two No. 1 large batteries, which can be used as a flashlight at night, or to make phone calls, and the built-in Symbian system is even somewhat similar to Nokia's latest 6260 model mobile phone.
But when he removed the battery, he revealed the copycat's signature "dual SIM dual standby" card slot.
You know, Nokia doesn't engage in dual SIM dual standby.
Look carefully on the left side, there is also a faint hidden resistance stylus, this "6260" is really ridiculous, it is difficult to say.

Kou Shaoli looked at the interview machine and told his feelings.
He interviewed the owners of a few random stalls, but when asked what they thought of smartphones, they immediately became silent, with an indescribable mysterious smile on their faces.
Kou Shaoli was puzzled, and went all the way to the exit of the market, but he didn't understand the meaning of this.
At this moment, a bus with the logo of Infinity suddenly stopped at the entrance of the labor market not far away.
A middle-aged man in a dark blue shirt got out of the car, shouting with a loudspeaker.
I can vaguely hear something, the minimum is three thousand, and the hourly wage is fifteen yuan.....
At the entrance of the labor market, those who are looking for work, like a fryer, immediately swarm up, pulling the car door, almost about to stampede, from all over the world, all kinds of scolding and scolding dialects are endless.
"Wait, I'll go too! I'll go too! ”
"Don't squeeze me! My shoes...."
"Grass**!"
....
Kou Shaoli's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly squeezed towards the surging crowd and the bus at the front.
