This was the first question that came to Minoru Matsuhashi's mind.
But she soon remembered that this was the CEO of a company that once competed with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
That company seems to have gone bankrupt, right?
Minoru Matsuhashi had almost forgotten the name of this company.
Speaking of which, this company used to be a bit legendary. Myron Case and a few partners founded this company in a garage, and then grew into a large company in the electronics industry. However, the company eventually disappeared from everyone.
There are so many such companies that it is normal for Songqiao to really not remember them. Only those companies that have a long history and are strong can be remembered forever.
Matsuhashi Minoru asked in surprise: "President, do you still remember this person? I almost forgot, why do you want to know about this person?"
Zhu Youxing said: "I remember that his new company had developed a portable player before. It was very compact, so I was quite impressed."
"President, do you think that small portable player will threaten us?"
It's not that little thing that threatens him, but Myron Keys's grander vision that threatens him.
But Zhu Youxing couldn't say it directly. If he said it directly, he would be suspected of being a stickman.
"It's just a feeling. Please help me find out about this person... No, no need. I think I can find information about him directly on the Internet. You just need to help me investigate and see if there are any secrets in their company."
It’s just a project.”
In business, it is also important to be wary and not afraid of deceit.
At the commercial level, it is definitely difficult for ordinary people to learn some secret information, but there are not so many barriers between large companies. There are many means and methods among large companies to learn some key information about their competitors.
Otherwise, why would Microsoft and Sony always launch products with comparable performance at the same time in the field of game consoles?
Why is it that Nvidia and AMD always have one side and the other side comes on the scene? Both sides are equally matched, so the gap between the products they release will not be too scary?
For top companies, some company secrets are nothing at all. Unless they are some key technical secrets, you will definitely not be able to find out. However, it is not a big problem to ask about the future business plans of competitors.
After all, they are all listed companies, and it is inevitable for them to disclose some data and information.
Matsuhashi Minoru still didn't quite understand Takeyusei's idea, but since it was Takeyusei's request, Matsuhashi Minoru also implemented it honestly. This was not a big problem for her now, and it was easy.
I can find a way to solve it.
Zhu Youxing also immediately turned on his computer and started searching for information related to Myron Keys.
This is a key figure.
If he is a person comparable to Steve Jobs in his previous life, then Myron Keyes may have already begun planning a new round of changes in the times.
Zhu Youxing vividly remembers the scene when Steve Jobs took out their first mobile phone at the press conference.
The epoch-making touch, minimalist design, and the pursuit of excellence in industrial electronics have made the iPhone a super product that has been influential for decades.
A smartphone also made Apple the most profitable company in the world in later generations.
Later, they even managed to earn an average of more than two thousand US dollars per second. Even if they did some criminal things, they could not keep up with the speed at which Apple made money.
After turning on the computer, Zhu Youxing searched for news related to Myron Keys in the search window.
Relevant information soon appeared.
Myron Case, the former CEO of Hongguo Company and the founder of Hongguo Company, was driven out of the company by shareholders due to disagreements with his ideas. Later, he set up a new company on his own, named Mickford, and engaged in the field of fashion electronic products.
Currently, Mickford's main products are several portable audio devices and a home computer product.
Several portable audio products are very small. The smallest product is only about the size of a thumb. It can be clipped on clothes or carried anywhere on the body. It is very convenient. And because of the rapid development of storage technology, such a very small product is now available.
Thousands of songs can be stored easily, allowing users to listen to music anytime and anywhere.
According to the latest market survey data, several audio playback devices have sold more than one million units, making them truly popular products.
Mickford's personal computer product line has just been developed. It is said that all the old developers from the original Hongguo Company were recruited back and then formed into a new team. This is a very experienced team.
, it took only one month to develop a home computer with independent intellectual property rights, and successfully achieved mass production within a year.
Moreover, many core hardware devices, including processors, are completely independently developed by this team, and its research and development capabilities are very strong.
The more Zhu Youxing looked at it, the more he felt that Myron Keyes was really possessed by Steve Jobs.
This guy is really extraordinary.
Sure enough, although the world is a parallel world, and the names may be different, the historical trajectories will always be very similar.
I can only be regarded as a small butterfly that slightly shakes the trajectory of the world, and the storm I incite can only affect a moment. It is difficult to shake the mainstream trajectory of history.
Look, Myron Case has re-established a new company, and it is already on the rise again.
Zhu Youxing immediately realized that the era of mobile Internet was coming.
As for what the mobile Internet has affected me, it should be the handheld business.
Because of the birth of the mobile Internet, smartphones have more functions, which is destined to cause the handheld business to shrink rapidly. It was not until more than ten years later that the handheld business showed signs of recovery.
However, there is still very little news that Zhuyouxing can search on the Internet, and it is impossible to search for more in-depth information.
This can only be done by Minoru Matsuhashi or others.
Looking at the introduction about Myron Keys on the Internet, Zhu Youxing realized that he should take some measures to deal with it.
It's time to give up the handheld business for the time being and quietly wait for the time when handhelds come back.
And just as Takeyusei expected, Matsuhashi Minoru delivered more news about Mickford Company early the next morning.
According to information obtained through multiple channels from retailers, parts suppliers and OEMs, Mickford is indeed carrying out some kind of large-scale planning.
The detailed product line cannot be known, but we can find out that the other party is using communication-related technologies, and these technologies are closely related to mobile phones.
In other words, Mickford is already trying to develop a mobile phone, and given Myron Keys's character, he probably won't develop that kind of simple feature phone.
Seeing this information, Zhu Youxing knew that the smartphone era might really be coming!
