588 Logic leads to progress, the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem! (5k)
The press conference is over, but the bullets will continue to fly for a while.
Regarding logicX2, the global open source Android system, Logic and Google established the Android Opener Alliance, and various news spread rapidly from Silicon Valley to the world along with media publicity.
There have been rumors that Google joined the Android Open Alliance in order to make mobile phones on its own. There is no doubt that it will be self-defeating.
Google doesn’t make mobile phones, it just makes the “brains” of mobile phones——
Android operating system.
Together with Logic, we gathered dozens of hardware, communications, mobile phone, and software application manufacturers to form an aircraft carrier cluster and headed towards Nokia and Microsoft.
Why no apples?
Because today's IOS market share is not even 1%, no matter what grade it is, it is worthy of competing with Android!
As a smartphone that is expected to challenge Nokia's global dominance, major newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal reported it, and Bloomberg immediately wrote about it just half an hour after the press conference.
Special book.
"Lu once again shows us the infinite possibilities of the future of smartphones!"
“Better camera experience, more application experience, stronger functional experience, especially the design of the APP mall, let me truly see the immeasurable prospects of smartphones. It may be incompatible with current mainstream mobile phones, but I completely believe it.
——”
"This is what mainstream mobile phones will look like in the future!"
"I don't know how many manufacturers will be willing to follow up, but I know that those who don't will probably be eliminated."
"As a consumer, I am happy to see this scene, because progress can bring us convenience."
"After all, who would say no to such an advanced smartphone for only $299,399?"
“Let us look forward to the results of logicX2 pre-sale.”
Hua Xia Bank, headed by CITIC, bought 20% of Bloomberg's shares from Lehman. Naturally, they reciprocated the favor.
Although there is some bragging, the bragging is well-founded!
8GB of storage memory is only $299, and 16GB is only $399. You can’t buy it at a loss, and you can’t be fooled when you buy it.
Take a look at today’s mid-to-high-end models——
Apple’s Maga, 2G is also priced at US$499?
As for Nokia and Samsung feature phones, the software and hardware are not good, how dare you!
One of my friends, one of them, was coerced by public opinion and forced to discuss price reduction strategies helplessly.
Just when the Internet was buzzing about Logic
.
First of all, I made a mistake at the beginning and posted two invitations to prove that since I am a fruit fan, I am also a believer in Trisolaris!
"Just the day before yesterday, I was invited to attend Logic's press conference. Compared with the Apple press conference half a year ago-"
"To be honest, it's cool, it's so fucking cool!"
"I have an impulse to completely switch from Apple to logic, because Apple is no longer the Apple it used to be."
"But logic is always great logic."
"Can you imagine combining photography and social networking? Take a photo on your phone in one second, and upload it to Facebook and Twitter the next second, yes, Lu thought of it! Can you imagine the concept of an APP mall? No
Wrong, Lu thought of it!"
"Can you imagine combining the front camera with face unlocking? Yes, Lu has thought of it..."
"I thought of everything!"
"Jobs? He looks to me now, just like I look at the Maga2G in my hand and my family's Nokia. They are completely antiques from the last century. If Apple doesn't make products as great as iPhone and LogicX2,
…”
"Jobs will eventually fall from the altar!"
"Then, there is only one god in this era."
"That's Lu, our lord!"
The number of views and likes on the video continued to skyrocket. In just one hour, the number of views exceeded 350,000, and there were more than 3,000 comments. The video received rave reviews. The most outstanding thing is——
It is worthy of being imported from China.
Imported products are better than domestic ones.
"I want to replace our whole family with logic phones!"
"Sorry, Steve Jobs, I will never use Apple again. I'm afraid of logical misunderstandings."
"Why America, which has such strong innovative capabilities, did not produce logicX2 is worthy of our reflection."
"The design of the front camera is much better than the rotating camera. Lu has taught them another thing."
“Isn’t Lu ‘Iron Man’? Why do you call him ‘Lord’?”
"'Lord' is the name of the three-body alien in "The Three-Body Problem". Because he has a technological level that far exceeds that of the Earthlings, he is respectfully called the 'Lord' by the Earthlings who believe in the Three-Body Problem. If you are interested, you can read Penguin's creation novel
I searched for "The Three-Body Problem" on the international Internet, but the first part of the novel has only been translated, and the second part has just begun..."
"The most mysterious experimental base for logic is called the 'Three Body'."
"Leading human technology, the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem!"
"Leading human technology, the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem!"
"Could this Trisolaran be a Chinese?"
"..."
Thanks to the terrifying communication ability of YouTube, as well as the amazing social energy of Facebook, Line, Twitter, etc., it soon swept across the United States, and logicX2 became the most anticipated product in the country.
China International Television () made a special report on Logic that night, which lasted for 30 minutes and was packed with content.
"Logic, a well-known technology company in my country, has released the latest generation of 3G smartphone logicX2, which has triggered a strong response in North America. According to the plan, it is expected to be officially launched in November this year. Chairman Lu Fei said in an interview that the logic smartphone is A revolutionary product that is far ahead of all current mobile phone brands in the world, at least 5 years ahead..."
"ah?"
Looking at the picture of Lu Fei on the TV, Zeng Yu held the remote control in his hand, opened his mouth, stared, and was speechless for a long time.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia, look, dad is on TV."
Zeng Li hugged Lu Xia and shook her gently.
"Sister, she is so young, how can she know this?"
Zeng Yu saw the happiness overflowing from her sister's face and weakly asked the question buried in her heart. Since Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan are not married, sister, why don't you dare to fight with her!
Isn’t it said that happiness must be snatched away?
"But I am already very happy now."
Zeng Li rolled her eyes: "Why do you still want to rob? Maybe if you rob, you won't be happy. You say I'm rigid or stubborn. That's just the way I am. It depends on one thing. I'm happy or not.
, there is never a need to get married to measure it. If marriage means happiness, then why is there still divorce?"
"But it doesn't mean that you will be unlucky if you get married..."
Zeng Yudu muttered.
"Do you know what's most important to a husband and wife?"
"What?"
"Love."
Zeng Li poked her sister's forehead with her hand.
Zeng Yu was speechless for a moment.
"Do you know what's most important about being a star?"
"What?"
"endure."
Zeng Li smiled and said: "Do you think I can be exposed?"
"Oh, it's so annoying!"
Zeng Yu sighed, "I don't care about you, as long as you can convince Mom with your approach." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Fei who was on the phone on the balcony and saw him pacing back and forth with mixed feelings.
"The Developer Alliance has only applied for 49 companies, which is too few. Larry, we must dare to ensure that the app store has at least 150 apps adapted to the Android system before the mobile phone is launched."
"Paul, you can safely place your order for the Snapdragon S1 to Fuxin. Currently, our 65nm process yield rate reaches 63%, which is no worse than TSMC and Samsung. Yes, just like Qualcomm gives us discounts, Fuxin will also give us discounts."
You have a discount.”
"Don't rush, don't rush, Steve, I will be at Nasdaq on time when the bell rings for Spotify's listing."
"..."
"Shijun, I watched those videos on YouTube. I'm right in criticizing Nokia for lagging behind and Symbian for being poor. But don't just criticize logical phones. Yes, it's too obvious. You should also bring in HTC and Samsung."
, Apple boasted that it would use the entire smartphone camp to severely criticize Nokia and other feature phones.”
The phone calls came one after another, either to congratulate or to do business.
Less than ten minutes after Lu Fei put down his cell phone, the ringtone rang again, and the caller turned out to be Lei Jun.
"This press conference was quite successful. Congratulations to Mr. Lu."
"Haha, I think it's good too."
Lu Fei exchanged a few polite words with him.
Lei Jun sat in the hotel room and glanced at the newspapers that were full of praise for logic. "But Mr. Lu, I don't understand. Is the price of logic
Route?”
"No, this is just our internal strategy."
Lu Fei reservedly said that he was making adjustments just in time for the memory chip winter, when supply chain procurement costs were significantly reduced.
The key is to subtly divide a price pyramid.
Just like the U8, which only sells for more than 1 million, the Mercedes-Benz Big G, which has nothing but a target, is worthy of selling for several million?
This ensures a high premium for the U9 sports car.
It's equivalent to challenging the gym leader, you have to knock down the senior brother first.
In the same way, as long as you can't keep up with the configuration and performance of logicX, you can never touch the iPhone series, such as Apple.
What's more, now that the subprime mortgage and P2P thunderstorms are about to happen, the people of America have become poor and have no money to exploit.
(ps: Apple’s 2008 mobile phone price is $199)
Lei Jun was confused after hearing this, and did not ask for the root cause. The conversation turned to the founding of Xiaomi, hoping that Lu Fei could help.
In order to get his investment in the angel round, and to explain clearly what Xiaomi planned to do, we spent more than an hour on the phone, planning to do ODM first and then OEM.
"You can cooperate with The Paper like Shenzhou and Tianyu. The Paper has many integration solutions. Of course, I won't force you. Xiaomi can do it on its own." Lu Fei grinned, "As long as the phone insists on using the Android system."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Xiaomi will always be a part of Android." Lei Jun said resolutely, "Xiaomi will definitely help popularize Android around the world. Although I don't have any experience in hardware R&D and manufacturing, I can't make the best smartphone in the world.
, but strive to make the most cost-effective smartphone in the world, not 3,999 yuan, not 2,999 yuan, just 1,999 yuan, or even 999 yuan, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
It seems that I have really realized it!
Realized the essence of cost-effectiveness!
Lu Fei pondered for a moment under the moonlight, then invested 5 million US dollars, but made a secret request: Xiaomi cannot mess with logic, this is a forbidden area, don't say it is unforeseen.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lei Jun vowed to agree.
"We are friends. I wish your Xiaomi success."
Lu Fei also wants to recruit Lei Jun. After all, his abilities, especially in supply chain management and marketing, are no worse than Apple's Cook, but it is obviously impossible.
Lei Jun was grateful and extremely excited.
In the past, in Jinshan, I was like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net. Now I am on my own, like a fish in the sea, no longer restricted!
But then I thought about it, thinking about my old club, and asked weakly:
"Mr. Lu, Penguin recently announced that QQ anti-virus software will be free for another year. Do you plan to keep it free?"
"Haha, you are asking the wrong person. Penguin is basically managed by Hua Teng and the others now, and I am just a hands-off shopkeeper."
Lu Fei laughed haha.
"So that's it."
Lei Jun swallowed all the questions back to his stomach knowingly, guessing that the other party was busy, so he ended the call.
Looking up, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon.
Anti-virus software is a major pillar of Kingsoft’s business.
If Penguin makes its anti-virus software permanently free, it will be a direct blow to Kingsoft and even the entire paid anti-virus market. If Kingsoft is launched on the market, it will break down soon.
This will cause him to lose money in vain when his options are exercised.
Lei Jun sighed with disappointment, thinking that when he founded Joyo.com, Feigou.com was still a small website and Lu Fei was also a small player. He did not expect that the status reversal would be so big.
Sure enough, you have to stand on the edge of the storm.
Smartphones and mobile Internet are my hot spots!
Just as I was thinking about it, the news section of the Yahoo portal was updated in real time, and I saw new messages popping up one after another——
"Samsung serves as the vanguard of mobile phone price reduction"
"Nokia announces major price cuts for three models"
"HTC launches its first Android smartphone in North America"
"Why do mobile phone manufacturers collectively lower prices? All this must be done logically!"
It's as if the friends and businessmen have made an agreement. If you surrender, I will surrender too.
Suddenly, panic spread in the mobile phone circle, and the fear of being dominated by Lu Fei was once again remembered. Although logicX2 has not yet been launched, it is precisely because it has not been launched that we have to reduce the price and clear the inventory quickly. It will be too late!
"Steve, I'm afraid this won't work."
Cook's face was livid, "Maga is only 2G and cannot withstand the price cuts of so many 3G mobile phone brands. We must cut prices and cut orders..."
"This bastard, Lu, used the same music player strategy on mobile phones." Jobs gritted his teeth, "Tim, what does the Ministry of Commerce say? Can it restrict Logic mobile phones from entering the North American market and protect local mobile phone brands?
?”
Cook shook his head and laughed and said: "The total sales volume of Logic is only over 30 million, which only accounts for 3% of the global market. Those bureaucrats feel that if they want to impose sanctions, they should also sanction Nokia. After all, Nokia accounts for 40%."
"What do these idiots know!"
Jobs was furious. How could he suppress logic in all aspects with such a group of insects?
"In short, when Logic did not pose a threat like Nokia, the Ministry of Commerce would not be able to take action, because Logic would purchase hundreds of millions of chip orders from Intel and Qualcomm."
Cook helplessly spread his hands: "To deal with Logic, we can only rely on ourselves, unless we agree to the Ministry of Justice's plan, send Flobo to assist, arrest Lu, and then dismember Logic."
Jobs walked around, "Do you really think the latest Kindle is a threat to the iPad we're secretly developing?"
"Absolutely right!"
Cook said categorically: "It seems like they are going in two different directions, but I can see that they must be leading to the same destination through different paths."
Jobs touched his chin, "We must speed up the research and development of iPad. Not at the earliest, but at the latest in the second half of next year, I will see an engineering machine that can be mass-produced, as well as an app store..."
The two discussed countermeasures for this press conference.
Cook was worried when we talked about facial recognition unlocking. After unlocking the iPhone with the password, logicX2 created a new screen unlocking mode, where the finger draws a line on "3X3 points" and connects the points.
Thus, an unlocking pattern is formed.
Logic now owns two sets of screen unlocking patents that seem to be the optimal solution, but they cannot be circumvented on any smartphone.
You can only use fingerprint recognition and facial recognition to unlock. Otherwise, you can only obediently pay the patent licensing fee to Logic.
But faced with a dilemma, should we follow logic?
Apple is not short of money, but the key thing is manpower and time——
We can only decide the priority, who comes first and who comes last.
"Tim, what do you think?"
Jobs played with the Maga2G in his hand.
"Japanese and Korean manufacturers like Sony and Samsung are very willing to follow up. Nokia and Motorola are not sure." Cook adjusted his glasses, "But..."
"But what?"
"The company that cooperates with us on fingerprint unlocking sensors revealed a very important piece of news. Last year, Logic acquired a Swedish company that specializes in the development of fingerprint unlocking. Although the scale is small, with only more than 30 people, it has accumulated 10 years of research and development.
experience and patented technology.”
"Is the information reliable?"
"I'm asking a business intelligence company to investigate. It won't take long for the results to be available. If the situation is true, then he deliberately misled our research and development direction at the press conference."
"Haha, it's like the 'Star Wars Project'."
Jobs scolded: "He is indeed a super asshole!"
Cook firmly believes that logic must be suppressed at any time. If you don’t suppress it, it will be impossible. Think about it carefully. Apple spent money and time with engineers to build mobile phones, and suddenly it was far ahead! So, there is no logic in the day.
, is a good day!
Jobs thought for a long time and narrowed his eyes:
"Tim, since Maga is going to lower its price, what do you think about us pricing the iPhone 3G at $199 next year?"
