1991 Starting from the core

"First of all, thank you friends for being here." Su Yuanshan put away the microphone and bowed slightly to the audience. When the applause subsided, he looked away with a smile, and the advice Chen Jing gave him flashed through his mind - let him remember that this was a launch conference focusing on products, not a speech, let alone a technical exchange conference.

It seems that Chen Jing still understands herself - what Su Yuanshan is best at is to start from a technical perspective and then expand into the industry. How good is he? As long as he talks about technical issues, he can go off-script and talk endlessly.

"After taking a look, among the friends who came today, in addition to the communication equipment industry and electronic products field, there are also many friends from the Internet industry." Su Yuanshan looked at the position in the middle and back - including Pony, Ding Lei, Ye Rudai and others. The emerging "big guys" of the Internet, headed by people, are staying behind the old brick-and-mortar companies in front of them like their younger brothers. Even two days ago, they were still the masters here.

"It just so happens that our first product today is a product closely related to the Internet."

After Su Yuanshan finished speaking, he placed his hands on his lower abdomen, then turned sideways to the curtain behind him.

In the corner of the front desk, Wang Rui quickly turned the pages of PowerPoint manually. At this time, there was no PPT page-turning pen specially used for press conferences, so he could only use this "clumsy method" to cooperate.

You know, in previous press conferences, the presenter basically stood in front of the demonstration stage and operated manually while talking. He would not run to the middle of the curtain in front like Su Yuanshan.

As Wang Rui turned to the next page of the PPT, the actual photos of Yuanxin MP3 also appeared on the screen.

It looks like a cigarette box. The lower part is composed of four directional function keys composed of a circle. In the center of the directional keys is a circular function button with impeccable visual effects and proportions.

Above the button area is a 15*40mm LCD panel.

Its entire appearance has no edges and corners and is well polished into a curve.

With another signal, Wang Rui also switched the screen to the next part. This part reveals its bottom interface - in addition to a 3.5mm headphone jack, there is only a microUSB charging and data interface.

Su Yuanshan approached the podium, took the MP3 in his hand, and walked to the front stage again.

"During development, we called it MP3 player, but now, it has a new name. It's called Imusic."

"As its name suggests, it is used to play music files in MP3 format spread over the Internet."

"It uses flash memory particles with the highest capacity ratio currently as memory, with a theoretical capacity of up to 512MB."

…

Along with Su Yuanshan's narration, various parameters of Imusic were also displayed on the screen.

"We can see that compared to the traditional Walkman, its advantages are obvious - it can easily replace songs and perform random combinations of playback menus."

"At the same time, it can also serve as a USB removable memory for data storage and transfer."

"By the way, I'm a little sorry... because we believe that for Imusic, music is private and needs to be enjoyed - therefore, it does not have an external playback function and can only be used with headphones. Therefore, it cannot be used with headphones. Let’s all demonstrate.”

But the next second, Wang Rui operated his laptop and inserted a short video - in the picture, while Imusic was being pressed, the sound of piano "To Alice" also came from the speakers at the press conference.

"Oh...it was an accident." Su Yuanshan smiled and shrugged.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter immediately in the venue, followed by applause.

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and exhaled softly: "Now, we can announce here that it is the first product in the world that allows content born on the Internet to enter the real world."

Amidst the applause, a voice sounded loudly.

"How much?!"

This sound was like opening a floodgate, and the young people in the middle and back rows began to shout.

Su Yuanshan's sharp eyes saw that those people were driven by guys like Ding Lei and Pony.

"$399."

As the words fell, whistles could not be heard.

…

In the first row of the press conference, Gates crossed his legs and looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile on his face - of course, he did not forget to use the corner of his eye to observe Jobs, who was separated from him by Carly.

Carly sat between the two, of course it was not her qualification, but she had to separate them.

After all, Apple and Microsoft are notoriously difficult to deal with in the industry.

Gates saw that since Su Yuanshan took out imusic, Jobs's face had remained serious, even a little bit shocked...

Gates knows what's going on.

Although he is a soft-armor engineer, Gates still has a good sense of product aesthetics. And it's not bad.

Long before this press conference, when Su Yuanshan met him in Seattle, he saw the actual MP3. Even experienced it.

It has to be said that Yuanxin’s imusic is indeed destined to be a revolutionary product in terms of product design and functionality.

Perhaps feeling Gates's gaze, Jobs frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced to the right, and then happened to meet Carly's gaze.

After thinking for a while, Jobs tilted his head slightly and whispered: "Miss Carly."

"Um."

"Have you obtained the product authorization from Yuanxin?"

Jobs knew that both Yuanxin and Xinghai were founded by Su Yuanshan, and the two had in-depth cooperation and cross-authorization in various fields.

"You mean imusic?" Carly smiled slightly and shook her head: "No."

"Hmm..." Jobs nodded slightly and looked at the stage again without comment.

On the stage, Su Yuanshan was explaining the second product.

That is the vidoo5 mobile phone.

In terms of design, this mobile phone adopts a clamshell design. For Jobs, he looked down on this shape design - he was a standard believer in simple style and believed that this flip phone simply violated the geometric beauty of the product. The spicy chicken...

——It seems that it is really up to me to teach consumers a lesson on what geometric beauty is.

Steve Jobs thought so.

Just when Jobs was stunned, the applause and whistles rang again.

Jobs looked up at the projection screen and saw that on the screen, the MP3 player and mobile phone that appeared earlier were connected by a big plus sign, and then an equal sign and a question mark were given.

Su Yuanshan took a deep breath and lifted vidoo5m in the air.

The stage light cast his shadow on the curtain, covering up the question mark.

"Friends, this time, I can demonstrate it to you."

Su Yuanshan put the microphone next to the phone with a smile, and then turned on the hands-free function.

Demo music started playing at the press conference.
