Chapter 211: The press conference ends
Zhao Ye took the packaging box handed over by the staff, and then opened it, and the camera shot here, and the guests saw that it had a silver-white shell, which was very similar to a laptop.
Many people guessed that this product was a laptop at the first time.
Laptops have long been commonplace at this time, and they were invented relatively early. In 1986, IBM launched the IBM PC convertible 5140 notebook.
On October 5 this year, IBM launched the first laptop named ThinkPad 700C.
The world was stunned by the fact that it was the leader of mobile computing technology, and if nothing else, the ThinkPad 700C would have won numerous accolades, including PC Magazine's 1992 Technical Excellence Award and Best System Award, Business Week's 1992 Best Product Award, PC Computing's 1992 Most Valuable Product Award, and Best Notebook.
Unfortunately, if nothing else, the unexpected came.
After more than a month, Wujiang Group held a product launch conference.
Zhao Ye took out the "iBook1 laptop" and introduced it to everyone: "This product is called "iBook1 laptop", and it also uses the "Kirin Pentium" CPU processor and the "Kunpeng 2" graphics processor, which has excellent performance.
The power supply uses a new lithium-ion battery, which can be used for up to 12 hours.
It has 256MB RAM and a 10GB SSD.
The biggest difference between it and other laptops is that it supports a wide range of network functions as well as Wi-Fi capabilities. ”
After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he unfolded "iBook1" for everyone to see.
The appearance is simple and fashionable, the body is light and thin, and the appearance is very durable.
Behind the fuselage, the word "Boundless" is lit up in white.
And in the middle of the display is the brand name of iBook.
Many people compare the "iBook" with the "ThinkPad 700C", and they can't help but find that the former is a light elf, and the latter is a silly big black.
And in terms of hardware configuration, "ThinkPad 700C" is directly crushed by "iBook".
When the ThinkPad 700C first went on sale, it cost as much as $5,000, but even so, many people bought it.
As long as the price of the "iBook1" is the same as that of the "ThinkPad 700C", the latter may be seriously unsalable. Except, of course, for the U.S. market.
There were applause and exclamations from the audience.
Obviously, everyone was amazed by the design and configuration of the "iBook".
Zhao Ye continued: ""iBook1" also installs HarmonyOS 2.0, and it is extremely smooth to use it to browse websites on the Internet, but I don't recommend using "iBook laptop" to play games. If you want to play large-scale games, it is recommended to buy a desktop computer "Shenzhou Computer 2", or go to the Tenglong Internet café to get on the computer. ”
"The biggest feature of the "iBook1" is the wifi function I just mentioned."
"Here, I will first briefly give you a brief science popularization of what wifi is."
"WiFi is a wireless networking technology, which simply means connecting to the Internet through radio waves. At present, all the routers on the market are wired routers, but we have developed a wifi wireless router, "iBook1 laptop" as long as the effective range of the radio wave coverage of this wifi wireless router can be connected to the Internet!
For example, if you have a WiFi router installed in the living room, you can surf the Internet while holding the "iBook1" on the bed in the bedroom. Of course, if your living room is hundreds of meters away from the bedroom, then you have to start Plan B, and you may need to install a wireless router, because the radio wave coverage of the wifi wireless router is currently only about 80 meters, and the indoor can penetrate one or two walls......"
"Now, please look at the big screen, and we will show you a short video to show you the use of the "iBook1 laptop" and the wifi wireless router."
After speaking, everyone turned their eyes to the big screen.
At this time, the lens on the screen appeared in a high-end apartment.
A young beauty is sitting cross-legged on the sofa with "iBook1" in her arms at the moment browsing the website, and the camera gives a close-up of "iBook1", and it is obvious that there is no network cable connected to the body of "iBook1".
After a while, the beauty seemed to be a little tired and yawned, so she put on her slippers, stood up, and went to the bedroom with "iBook1" in her arms, and then continued browsing the website while lying on the bed in the bedroom.
Finally, the camera shifted to the corner of the living room, stopping on the wifi wireless router, and then an English narrator sounded: "No rope, more freedom!" ”
No rope, more freedom!
At this point, the short film ends, and the picture freezes.
At this time, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and you could vaguely hear praise such as "cool", "handsome", "perfect", and "this is a real laptop".
Countless viewers who watched the live broadcast were all shocked by the WiFi function of "iBook1".
At this time, users who have already purchased the "ThinkPad 700C" instantly feel that they have lost a lot of money, and they think that they have only bought it for a month, can they return it~
The "ThinkPad 700C" is simply inferior to the "iBook1 laptop", and the more I think about it, the more angry I become.
Not long after, IBM's customer department received many calls from consumers, who said they wanted to return the goods.
IBM's senior management is about to go numb, "both Shengyu, He Shengliang", "ThinkPad 700C" laptop is the pride of IBM, almost everyone in iBM thinks so. It's a pity that as soon as the "iBook1" came out, the "ThinkPad 700C" was instantly compared, and it was no longer fragrant.
"Bang Bang ......"
The office of the president of IBM suddenly heard the sound of smashing bottles, and some profanity was faintly heard......
On the stock market, IBM's stock price plummeted wildly.
"ThinkPad 700C" PK "iBook1", complete defeat!
A trader at the exchange looked panicked and muttered: "The pride of the United States, IBM, has completely lost to China's Wujiang Group." ”
"Eighteen years ago, IBM's typewriter business was defeated by Wang An; Eighteen years later, IBM's personal computer business was also defeated by a Chinese! ”
"Is this fate?"
"The Chinese often say, '18 years later, another good man'? Could it be that every 18 years, IBM has to be abused by the Chinese? ”
"What are the secrets of the mysterious ancient Oriental country? Why was a genius like Zhao Ye born? The chattering trader decided to go to China in the future to find out.
There is no way, Zhao Ye's appearance has almost become a taboo existence in the United States.
The Wujiang Group he founded has achieved corner overtaking in many fields, and many technology companies in the United States have bowed their heads and trembled in front of the Wujiang Group.
These companies have completely refused to compete head-on with the Wujiang Group, and can only hide behind their backs and play conspiracy.
They are timid and afraid to allow the products of the Borderless Group to enter the American market.
thought that this would weaken the Wujiang Group, but who would have thought that the Wujiang Group would become more and more courageous......
Before you know it, the press conference has been going on for more than two hours.
Seeing this, Zhao Ye was almost finished talking about what he was going to say.
Finally, there is a product price that everyone is very concerned about.
"Ahem, let's be quiet for a while, now I'll talk about "Shenzhou Computer 2", "iBook1 Laptop", "HarmonyOS 2.0", "WiFi Router", ...... The price! ”
"The price of the 'Shenzhou Computer 2' is $3,499."
"The iBook1 laptop is priced at $5,000."
"HarmonyOS 2.0 is priced at $399."
"The WiFi router sells for $299."
“……”
The net profit of the product ranges from 60% to 39,000%, which is simply a huge profit.
However, when the guests in the audience heard this, they all showed surprise and felt that Wujiang Group had a conscience.
At this time, Zhao Ye loudly announced the end of the press conference, and just as he was about to leave the stage, he suddenly turned his head to look at the guests and the camera in the audience, and said slowly with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to remind everyone that the HarmonyOS 2.0 only supports IPv6 network, which is not compatible with the IPv4 network in the United States." Therefore, if you want to use all the services above HarmonyOS 2.0, you must open the IPv6 network.
However, only China, Europe, Southeast Asia and other places have opened IPv6 network services. I'm sorry for other regions, although Wujiang Group would like to provide you with the best service, but the reality does not allow it, but we are actively communicating with the local government and telecom companies to provide IPv6 network services for you as soon as possible! ”
"Alright, I've finished what I'm going to say, you can leave!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't wait to rush out of the scene, some went straight to the Wujiang flagship store and Wujiang supermarket, some went straight to the Tenglong Internet café, and some went straight to China Telecom to open Internet services.
In front of the TV, many people were immediately angry after listening to Zhao Ye's words just now. But this anger is not directed at the Wujiang Group, after all, the Wujiang Group is also very innocent, and they want to enter their country's market, but they are not allowed.
Therefore, everyone's anger is only aimed at their own country.
Especially Country M, which was named by Zhao Ye, was almost not scolded to death by its own people.
All of a sudden, the call to allow Borderless Group's personal computers and operating systems to enter the U.S. market became louder and louder......
However, it doesn't seem to be of much use.
Since the launch of Wujiang Group's products, the world has recognized the importance of the Internet.
Of course, it is even more unlikely that Wujiang Group's operating system will enter the US market.
Wujiang Group has an IPv6 network, and the United States has an IPv4 network.
The authorities of country M do not believe that the IPv6 network standard of the GPS can compete with their IPv4 network standard.
The authorities of country M hurriedly called the country's top technology companies together for a meeting, and then asked them if they could develop a browser and a website, and when they could do so.
At the same time, a note was sent to other countries asking them to keep pace with themselves and develop IPv4 network standards.
This is undoubtedly a very serious challenge for Wujiang Group!
At this time, Zhao Ye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, quietly watching the storm, lightning and thunder outside the window, as if he had realized the danger coming.
In fact, he was well aware of the difficulties and hardships he was going to face.
However, he did not give in.
The body is as straight as the pine and cypress standing.
His eyes were firm and powerful, as if to say, "Let the storm come more violently!" ”
At this moment, he seemed to be incarnated into a brave petrel, flying on the rough sea, no matter how the rainstorm hit, it had to stubbornly persevere.
"Boss, the presidents of hundreds of American technology companies gather in New York !!" Secretary Liu Yinyin suddenly came over and said.
Zhao Ye was not surprised when he heard this, he nodded to Liu Yinyin, smiled and said, "Okay, I know." ”
"Boss, aren't you worried?" Liu Yinyin asked worriedly.
When Zhao Ye heard this, his expression was stunned, then he smiled and said meaningfully: "What is there to worry about, this is the war we provoked......"
