Chapter 321 [Xingyu Technology Conference Arrives as Scheduled]
With the gradual development of the pilot publicity of Xingyu Technology, the outside world has continued to pay attention to the company's first-generation product launch, and the current publicity slogan is also "the first real smartphone in China", and the key word is "domestic".
However, this kind of propaganda has been ridiculed by many "Muyang" groups in the mainland, especially the so-called public intellectuals, who have always belittled domestic products and are waiting to see jokes.
Most people in the industry, including people in the investment community, feel that Xingyu Technology's recent layout is really too radical, and all the arrangements give the outside world the feeling that Xingyu Technology is extremely confident that its first product will definitely sell.
Many people in the industry are very confused about where their self-confidence comes from.
This makes the outside world more and more curious about the press conference of Xingyu Technology, and also makes many people in the investment circle secretly expect that once Xingyu Technology overturns, the first product will fail miserably, and the money that Qunxing Capital is now throwing will be lost, and it will lose the rhythm of Grandma's family.
However, what makes people from peer investment institutions very helpless is that they also realize that even if Xingyu Technology fails miserably, even if Qunxing Capital loses all its money in this project, it seems that it will not be able to hurt its bones.
Because there is so much money, it is really annoying to think about it.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this month, Rebus has established Xiaomi Technology, in terms of efficiency, Xiaomi may be faster, and Mr. Lei is bound to give the first generation of Xiaomi mobile phones this year.
But the technical content is really not flattering.
Qin Feng said that his S1 was an assembly machine, because most of the core components were not his own.
That Xiaomi's first-generation smartphone is even more of an assembly machine, from hardware to software, it is almost someone else's thing, except that the brand is its own.
Xingyu Technology's first-generation smartphones still have a lot of their own things, especially the software.
Rebus is also quite concerned about this press conference of Xingyu Technology, which may be Xiaomi's first competitor in the mainland, and he does not dare to underestimate it, because Xiaomi really has no advantage in benchmarking Xingyu Technology.
In terms of time, Xingyu Technology was established earlier than Xiaomi, and Xiaomi was officially established at the beginning of this month;
In terms of funds, Xiao Mi has no advantage, although Rebus also has a large number of investors to support him, but the father behind Xingyu Technology, Qunxing Capital, is stronger, and he supports Xingyu Technology as a "pro-son".
It is worth mentioning that Apple did not pay attention to this conference of new technology, and did not even pay attention to it, and Qiao did not even know that this company existed.
As a world-renowned tech giant, it's not uncommon for a start-up tech company to not take it to heart, after all, there are tech companies every day around the world.
What's more, Xingyu Technology was not established in Silicon Valley, in short, the giant manufacturers did not take it seriously.
The most important thing is that Apple has a big thing that is about to make the Qiao gang angry, how can you pay attention to a startup company like Xingyu Technology that has never heard of it and has no products.
……
When the time came to March 18th, something happened that made Qiao Gang Leader angry.
In North America, a software engineer at Apple named Gray Ball went to a bar today to celebrate his 27th birthday with an undisclosed iPhone 4 in his pocket.
Apple's new product release date is set for three months later, and before the release of the real machine, engineers sometimes have to take the product to the outside world to test performance, troubleshoot bugs, etc., which Xingyu engineers will also do.
Therefore, it is understandable that Gray Ball, an Apple engineer, is running around with a prototype of an iPhone 4, and Gray also specially made a camouflage shell of the iPhone 3GS with a deceptive nature, which is difficult to find without dismantling.
But the problem is that Gray Ball is too excited for today's birthday, he drank a lot of alcohol, and he left the bar in a daze, and which extremely secret iPhone 4 prototype was actually left on the bar table by him.
Not long after Gray Ball left the bar, a young man named Brian Hogan found the phone, and after a while he found that no one was holding the phone, and knew that it must have been lost by the owner.
Brian took the phone and asked around the bar to no avail, and he continued to sit still and wait for a long time, still not waiting for the owner.
So, Brian simply took the phone home.
When Brian returned home, he took out the phone and played with it, he quickly reacted and realized the special features of this phone, Brian said to himself in surprise: "How can iPhone3GS have a front camera?" It's not iphone3gs ......"
Brian soon noticed that the phone's screen was also exceptionally clear, and he finally made the decision to take the phone apart and accidentally uncamouflage the prototype.
"Generous Crab ......" Brian looked at the mobile phone in front of him with the shell removed and was stunned, this edge, this side frame, and this glass back panel are obviously not the iPhone3GS that has been on the market, and he quickly realized that this may be the upcoming iPhone4.
The next morning, Brian made a direct call to Apple's customer service, informing them that he had picked up an unlisted Apple iPhone and wanted to return it.
But Apple's customer service didn't believe his words at all, and directly hung up the phone as a prank.
This made Brian a little unhappy, and then he tried to contact a number of tech media outlets, and many media outlets didn't believe him, how could Apple's new product be owned by an unknown person?
Are you kidding?
But there was still a media editor called Gizmodo who took it seriously, and was pleasantly surprised to find super good news, and finally bought the prototype of the iPhone 4 from Brian for $5,000.
At the same time, Apple's engineer Gray Ball realizes that he has lost the prototype, and the news reaches the ears of Joe's gang leader, and he is furious that day, but Gray is not fired for it.
After realizing that the prototype was lost, Apple remotely erased all the data on the phone for the first time, in other words, the prototype became a delicate industrial brick.
But even though it's a brick, the Gizmodo website still violently dismantles the prototype from the inside out, and is also writing articles to release a series of blockbuster leaks in April to break the news.
If it is not immediately exposed, it naturally needs to be studied, which is a technical job, because Apple has erased the data on the phone through remote technology, and now it can't be turned on.
Such a material must be well prepared, anyway, as long as it is exposed before Apple's press conference in June.
As Fang Hong, who has been reborn through the rebirth, knows this, this is the iPhone4 "leak door" incident, and he also knows that the gizmod website will release a series of leak articles on April 19, so that the world knows about the iPhone4 prototype in advance.
That's why the press conference of Xingyu Technology is scheduled for the end of March.
……
As time went on, March 25 came as scheduled.
This morning, many invited technology media came to Xincheng, and the venue of the press conference was held in Xincheng, and the venue was set up next to the five official flagship stores.
There are five official flagship stores nationwide, and the other four are in the four first-tier cities, the flagship store is different from other direct stores, other direct stores are the façade of supermarket leasing, and the official flagship store is directly an independent building, although the building is not large, but in the center of the big city is the price of every inch of land.
The five flagship stores have long been arranged, and they directly bought a building in the local area for redecoration, spent a lot of money but definitely not a loss, and the price of this commercial building will soar more than six or seven times after ten years, worth billions of dollars.
The headquarters of Xingyu Technology is in the new city, although the degree of development is not as good as that of the first-tier cities, but as the city where the company's headquarters is located, it is natural to have an official flagship store.
At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon, a luxurious car drove into the location of the Xingyu Technology Conference venue, and the back seat of the car was Fang Hong, and today he also came to the scene to watch this grand new product launch conference.
