377 A false alarm, a sign of overturning

 The screams and applause almost lifted the roof, and all the surrounded friends and businessmen were on pins and needles.

Everyone knows the value of a touch screen. The operating experience alone surpasses that of a hard keyboard with buttons, and it is not easily damaged. However, the technical content contained in it is by no means comparable to that of a color screen.

Including Li Fuzhen, Riccio, Ballmer and others have set their sights on the Nokia camp.

Kallasvuo, who is taking the lead, is tilting his head and whispering to his subordinates. The one at the forefront of touch screens in the world today has to be Nokia.

But they only launched one or two experimental products. The real flagship product is the slider phone.

There is no other reason. The touch screen technology is not yet mature. Either it will not move when touched, there will be no response, or the response will be slow and the delay will be serious.

"Check, check immediately after the press conference, check the production company of this screen!"

Riccio's eyes widened, and he suddenly got goosebumps when he thought about Apple's computers equipped with touch screens.

In his sight, he saw Lu Fei gently touching the MP3 screen, tapping songs, sliding the list...

Although it is not as smooth as later generations of smartphones, or even as smooth as the iPhone 3, it is now 2004, and with the operating logic and techniques of the roulette buttons, it is like God has opened a door.

"Quick, give me the paper and pen, I want to draw it."

Kallasvuo licked his tongue excitedly, and slowly imagined the future shape of Nokia in his mind, which was very similar to lmusic3.

The upper part is a touch-sensitive resistive screen, and the lower part is a simple button.

Seeing that Nokia is stealing from others, Sony, Philips, Ericsson and other major international manufacturers have mixed emotions. I can't do this!

"Look, touch control not only makes it easier to listen to music, read pictures and e-books, it also opens up more possibilities for playing games on MP3 players."

Lu Fei said as he clicked on the electronic pet.

A plush, round and cute giant panda appeared. There were first-level menus such as "Feeding", "Bathing", "Treatment", etc. below. After clicking on it, second-level options appeared, demonstrating each one.

Every time I touch it, there will be a lot of cheers and applause.

"Damn, what's so surprising? It's just a Tamagotchi pet egg!"

Sony's representatives had sullen faces and a sour tone in their disdainful tone. In fact, they really wished they had done it.

"A Fei really did it."

Li Fuzhen was both happy and worried.

Although lmusic3's touch technology and application are useless, market competition is all about differentiation.

Everyone is new and unique. As soon as the touch screen comes out, it suddenly stands out among competing products and stands out as a high-end product.

Just like buying BBA, the picture is just a standard, the logic is high-end and classy, ​​and its brand appeal in the MP3 field far exceeds that of Apple, while Samsung can only survive between the two powers competing for hegemony.

"Lu!"

"Lu! Lu! Lu!"

"Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu~"

Amidst the roar of the audience, Lu Fei smiled brightly, walked calmly to the comfortable leather chair, and picked up the oil-skin paper bag from the table.

It directly skips the comparison process between competing products. After all, how can a king take the initiative to compete with black iron and bronze? Not only will he lose his rank, but he will also send traffic to his friends for no reason. The first one should have the domineering attitude of being the first——

I am not targeting anyone, I want to say that all the friends and businessmen here are happy!

"Kakaka~"

The media eagerly picked up their cameras and focused their lenses on the stage. The touch screen MP3 player was indeed a breakthrough in the technology world, but what everyone was looking forward to more was the tablet computer.

In the early years of the millennium, before the iPad, tablet computers had many directions. There was a camp led by Sony, which supported low-configuration but lightweight netbooks, a camp headed by Microsoft, which supported tablet computers touched by stylus, and



"Between mobile phones and laptops, there must be a third category of devices!"

Lu Fei opened the envelope with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to take out his kindle. Instead, he casually raised a bulky netbook.

"But obviously it's not going to be that, it's not a good computer in any way, it's just a cheaper computer than a laptop."

After saying that, he whetted the appetite of the audience, and then he showed off the pure white kindle 1.

But the audience, whose expectations had been raised, were not surprised. Their faces were filled with confusion, and soon there was silence.

nnd, why don’t you applaud, applaud!

When Guo Xing, Huang Zhang and others standing in the front row saw this, they felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to toe, and their hearts were beating wildly.

"6-inch e-ink screen, 4-level grayscale display..."

"Currently, it does not support touch screens, but it is equipped with a physical full keyboard, navigation buttons and scroll wheel keys..."

Lu Fei slowly followed the "golden sequence" set in the rehearsal, switching PPTs while talking.

It clearly lists the picture quality of e-books displayed on Kindle, as well as magazines and newspapers that have appeared after the Internet.

At this time, the projection screen was filled with screenshots of "I am the Archmage", appearing again and again.

However, there was never the thunderous applause that lmusic3 had. Instead, there were a lot of discussions and doubts in the audience——

"It's not a color screen. Logic is the founder of a new era of color screens. How come he has become a relic of the old era!"

"So what if it supports voice reading? What if it supports music? Isn't this just a large lmusic?"

“The design is nice and it’s a good e-reader, but there’s really nothing about it that wows me.”

“Is this enough to surpass netbooks?”

"..."

"Hey, that's all."

The major international manufacturers who originally regarded Kindle as a scourge were relieved, especially when they saw that there was no strong response from around them, they secretly rejoiced.

Who the hell uses electronic products to read books!

Chicken ribs, tasteless food.

But among a group of people sitting and watching the joke, Riccio and Jonathan Ivey looked at each other and murmured in a low voice:

"Genius, if these are all Lu's ideas, he is really a genius!"

A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.

Riccio marveled at the rounded bezels of the Kindle, which were completely unlike the dozens of models designed by Apple. None of them felt comfortable to look at or even more comfortable to hold, as they had to be lifted carefully.

"Look at the holes on the edge of the kindle."

Jonathan Ivey touched him with his elbow and whispered: "The connection interface, headphone jack and buttons are all designed to the edge of one end, and speakers are installed up and down to make the sound more three-dimensional, fuxk, genius design..."

The more the two of them discussed, the more incredible they became. The more they felt that it was a waste to concentrate so much creativity on Kindle! What a waste of resources!

"The kindle has 512MB, supports unprotected Word text, PDF, TXT and other text formats, as well as mainstream image formats such as JPEG, GIF and PNG, and can store about 400 e-books without images..."

Lu Fei didn't seem to notice the weird atmosphere of the press conference and entered the next step, introducing the Kindle store nonstop.

"Kindle can also register and log into Singularity International Station with your ID. There are a large number of e-books like "I Am the Archmage" that can be read online, and they also support downloading and transmission."

"If Spotify is an anti-piracy moat for digital music, then the Kindle Mall is an anti-piracy moat for paper books, with more than 50,000 books currently available for download..."

The whole hall was quiet, and there was a trace of embarrassment in the air.

Use electronic devices to read books and study? Study, study!

"So, how much does a tablet like this cost?"

Lu Fei walked straight to the computer, made sounds step by step, and then tapped the mouse gently.

I saw glittering golden figures popping out of the huge curtain——

512M, US$399!

The venue fell into a brief silence, like a thunderous explosion, which made everyone burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Just a kindle that integrates reading newspapers, books, etc., is it so expensive? Crazy, grab the money!

"Gulu~"

Huang Zhang's face turned pale. Kindle was his first project. "Mr. Guo, we won't overturn, right?"

"Bah, don't be so talkative and trust Mr. Lu!"

Guo Xingqiang calmed himself, controlled his panic, and took the lead in applauding.

The loud applause seemed particularly abrupt.

"Bah bang bang."

Immediately afterwards, applause sounded sparsely.

The audience in the audience was very respectful, and it was not until the third-generation lmusic and fantasy announced their prices that the dignified and awkward atmosphere brought by the Kindle was broken.

"Unnie, Oppa will be like before this time and won't fail, right?"

No matter how ignorant Li Yinxin is, she also noticed that Sony, Apple and other friendly companies showed gloating faces, obviously waiting to see the logic of the joke.

"this……"

Li Fuzhen looked at Lu Fei's back as he walked towards the backstage, his eyes full of worry and concern.

"Unnie, Oppa will definitely be very busy these days. Why don't you confront him later and let him finish his work for a while?"

Li Yinxin crossed her hands, lowered her head and prayed, silently praying to God to bless Lu Fei.

Thanks to City University, which has nowhere to put it, for the 300 starting coins.
