Chapter 322 [Xingyu Technology Conference Arrives as Scheduled]
Chapter 322 [The Xingyu Technology press conference arrives as scheduled]
As Xingyu Technology's pilot publicity gradually unfolds, the outside world's attention to the launch of the company's first-generation products continues to rise. The current promotional slogan is also "the first true smartphone in China". Keywords
It’s the word “domestic”.
However, many "foreign" groups in the mainland, especially the so-called public intellectuals, sneered at this kind of propaganda. They always belittled domestic products and acted like they were waiting to see a joke.
Most people in the industry, including those in the investment community, feel that Xingyu Technology's recent layout is too radical. All the arrangements give the outside world the feeling that Xingyu Technology is extremely confident that its first product will be a hit.
Many people in the industry cannot understand where their self-confidence comes from?
This has made the outside world more curious about Xingyu Technology's press conference, and also made many people in the investment circle secretly expect that once Xingyu Technology overturns and the first product launch fails miserably, all the money that Star Capital has invested will be lost.
Return, the rhythm of returning to grandma’s house.
However, what makes people from peer investment institutions very helpless is that they also realize that even if Xingyu Technology fails miserably, even if Star Capital loses all its money on this project, it seems that they can't do anything to it.
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 established Xiaomi Technology. In terms of efficiency, Xiaomi may be faster, and Mr. Lei is expected to launch the first-generation Xiaomi mobile phone this year.
But the technical content is really not flattering.
Qin Fengdu calls his S1 an assembly machine because most of the core components are not his own.
Xiaomi's first-generation smartphone was even more of an assembly machine. From hardware to software, it was almost everyone else's product, except for the brand, which was its own.
Xingyu Technology’s first-generation smartphone still has a lot of its own features, especially the software.
Rebus is also very interested in this press conference of Xingyu Technology. This may be Xiaomi's first competitor in the mainland, and he does not dare to underestimate it, because Xiaomi really competes with Xingyu Technology.
There is no real advantage.
In terms of time, Xingyu Technology was established earlier than Xiaomi, while Xiaomi was only officially established at the beginning of this month;
In terms of funds, Xiaomi has no advantage. Although Rebus also has a large number of investors to support him, the financial backer behind Xingyu Technology, Dad Qunxing Capital, is more powerful and supports Xingyu Technology as his "son."
, technology is to give you what you want, the stars will give it to those who have it, and they will find a way to give it to those who don't have it.
It is worth mentioning that Apple did not pay attention to this new technology launch conference, and did not even pay attention to it. Gang Leader Qiao did not even know that this company existed.
As a world-renowned technology giant, it is not surprising that it does not pay attention to a newly established start-up technology company. After all, technology companies are founded every day around the world.
What's more, Xingyu Technology was not established in Silicon Valley yet, so the giants didn't take it seriously.
The most important thing is that a big event from Apple is about to make Gang Leader Qiao furious. How can he pay attention to a start-up company like Xingyu Technology that he has never heard of and has no products.
…
When the time came to March 18th, something happened that made Gang Leader Qiao very angry.
In North America, an Apple software engineer named Gray Ball went to a bar to celebrate his 27th birthday today, and in his pocket was an unreleased iPhone 4.
The release date of Apple's new products is set in three months, and before the real machine is released, engineers sometimes have to take the product to the outside world to test its performance and eliminate bugs. Xingyu Technology engineers will also do this.
Do this.
Therefore, it is understandable that Gray Ball, an Apple engineer, carries an iPhone 4 prototype around. Moreover, Gray specially made a deceptive camouflage shell for the iPhone 3GS, which is difficult to find without taking it apart.
But the problem is that Gray Ball was too excited for his birthday today. He drank a lot of wine and left the bar in a daze. However, he actually left the extremely confidential iPhone 4 prototype behind in the bar.
On the table.
Not long after Gray Ball left the bar, a young man named Brian Hogan discovered the phone. 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 away and asked around the bar, but no one claimed it. He continued to sit there and waited for a long time, but still did not find the owner.
So Brian simply took the phone home.
When Brian got home, he took out the phone and played with it. He quickly reacted and realized what was special about this phone. Brian said to himself in surprise: "Why does the iPhone 3GS have a front-facing camera?"
Camera? This is not iPhone 3GS..."
Brian soon discovered that the screen of this mobile phone was also extremely clear. Finally, he made a decision and took apart the mobile phone to take a look. He also accidentally removed the camouflage casing of the prototype.
"Gift crab..." Brian was stunned when he looked at the phone with its shell removed. The edges, the frame, and the glass back were obviously not the iPhone 3GS that was already on the market. He quickly realized that this might not be the case.
It’s the upcoming iPhone 4.
The next morning, Brian called Apple's customer service directly and told the customer service that he had picked up an unreleased iPhone and wanted to return it.
But Apple customer service didn't believe him at all and hung up the phone as if it was a prank.
This made Brian a little unhappy. Then he directly tried to contact many technology media. Many media did not believe his words. How could Apple's new product be owned by an unknown person?
Are you kidding me?
But there was still a media editor from a website called Gizmodo who took it seriously. As a result, he was pleasantly surprised to find super exciting information and finally bought the iPhone 4 prototype from Brian for US$5,000.
At the same time, Apple engineer Gray Ball realized that he had lost the prototype. The news reached the ears of Gang Leader Joe, and he became furious that day, but Gray was not fired because of it.
After realizing that the prototype was lost, Apple immediately remotely erased all data on the phone. In other words, the prototype became an exquisite industrial brick.
However, even though it was turned into a brick, the Gizmodo website still violently dismantled the prototype from the inside out. At the same time, it was writing articles to publish a series of heavy leak articles in April to break the news.
If it was not exposed immediately, it would naturally require research. This is a technical task, because Apple has erased the data on the phone through remote technology, and now it cannot be turned on.
Such explosive news must be carefully prepared. Anyway, it only needs to be exposed before Apple's press conference in June.
Fang Hong, who was reborn in time and space, knows this. This is the iPhone 4 "Leak Door" incident. He also knows that the Gizmod website will publish a series of leak articles on April 19th to let the world know in advance.
iPhone4 prototype.
That’s why Xingyu Technology’s press conference was scheduled for the end of March.
…
As time went by, March 25th arrived as scheduled.
This morning, many invited technology media came to Xincheng. The conference venue was held in Xincheng, in a venue set up next to five official flagship stores.
There are five official flagship stores nationwide, and the other four are in the four major first-tier cities. The flagship store is different from other directly-operated stores. Other directly-operated stores are storefronts rented by supermarkets, while the official flagship store is a whole building.
Although the independent building is not big, land is very expensive in the center of big cities.
The five major flagship stores have already started to decorate. They directly bought a building locally and renovated it. They spent a lot of money but they will definitely not lose money. In ten years, the price of this commercial building will soar more than six or seven times. How much is it worth?
One billion.
The headquarters of Xingyu Technology is in Xincheng. Although it is not as developed as first-tier cities, as the city where the company is headquartered, it naturally needs an official flagship store.
At around 15:00 in the afternoon, a luxurious car drove into the Xingyu Technology launch venue. Fang Hong was clearly in the back seat of the car. He also came here specially to watch this grand new product launch today.
