Reinventing the Millennium.

New York has been a bustling night of feasting and feasting.

"Schmidt really said that?"

When the recording of Yu Hong's response to the mobile phone brand LG was over, she couldn't help being a little skeptical when she heard Mr. Fang describe her communication with the CEO of Google. Demeanor.

Fang Zhuo nodded.

Yu Hong thought of a possibility: "Could it be that Schmidt said Do it, and when you listened to English, you automatically translated it into your mother tongue and added some personal characteristics, turning it into a fucking LG?"

Translation pays attention to honesty and elegance, but sometimes it also includes personal emotions and self-understanding. Will it be different because someone is too vicious?
Fang Zhuo sighed, a little sad: "Xiao Yu, don't think too bad of me, and think too good of others. Who is Schmidt, can I still not know? I can smell it from three miles away. to the bad water in his stomach."

He once again gave a strong proof: "He didn't say Do it, he said Fuck LG, do you think there is something wrong with my description?"

Fuck LG!

Yu Hong understood that Mr. Fang's English skills are really good, and he deserves to be a man who uses selfies accurately.

She explained: "No, Mr. Fang, I just didn't expect Schmidt to have such a decisive charisma as a business leader like you."

What is business leadership charisma?

Unite with partners and fight against opponents!
"After all, he is the CEO of Google. It's not easy to pull Sergey and Larry. I have a lot of vigilance against Schmidt, especially when I learned last time that he has a close relationship with the US defense." Fang Zhuo believes that it must be serious He clarified his attitude because Xiao Yu was in charge of the US market, and the two had to be on the same front.

Seeing Mr. Fang's stern eyes that he rarely showed to him, Yu Hong nodded silently.

Fang Zhuo's eyes softened, and he continued: "LG and Verizon thought they were standing in the Android camp this time, but I didn't expect to choose Symbian. I think Symbian is not good, but Schmidt attaches great importance to it. Our patents on touchscreens, especially things like multi-touch are killer patents."

He repeated the positioning.

Killer patent, Killer Patent.

"But our patent is validated in the United States through the Paris Convention. I don't worry about it in Europe. I am more worried about unexpected situations in the US Patent and Trademark Office." Fang Zhuo frowned and said, "I pay attention From time to time, there will be overturned rulings on the patents here, and the supplementary review of the patents is extremely long.”

Yu Hong knew where Mr. Fang's worries came from.

Yike applied for a patent in China, and then passed the Paris Convention for global patent certification, such as multi-touch for capacitive screens and was successfully approved in the United States.

However, FingerWorks, which Apple acquired in 05, also has a similar patent, but it is broader, rather than specifically describing capacitive screens like Yike.

Considering the additional influence of directors like deputy chief executives at Apple, this is a hidden worry that could easily lead to disputes.

"Moreover, once a patent war starts, it's okay for LG, but it's a loud reminder for a giant like Nokia." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Nokia's accumulation is too strong, and it's not easy to fight a patent war. "

Yu Hong nodded. Indeed, that is the dominant player in the industry, and the patent war is very difficult to fight.

Now it is time to create a star product first, and use its effects and chips in hand to do behind-the-scenes things, including the Pro alliance jointly established with Google for patent cross-licensing, all of which are preparing for deeper competition.

These behind-the-scenes are more complicated, but Yu Hong has confidence in the company and Fang Zong.

The start of Yike Mars started with selling 100 million units.

……

On the second day after the release of the Yike mobile phone, the queues at the stores of major operators in the United States and Europe continued.

Affected by the popularity of the Internet, many users who previously chose express delivery orders canceled the door-to-door mode and took the initiative to go to the store, hoping to get their mobile phones as soon as possible.

According to T-Mobile's estimate, these pre-sale models can be digested within 4 days.

Many media were surprised by the release of Yike Mars, and reported on the queuing phenomenon one after another. More and more influential bloggers gave the evaluation of Yike Mars after careful exploration and comparison.

Among them, TechCrunch, a technology blog that has analyzed Yike's press conference before, has the greatest influence.

The founder of TechCrunch, Michael Arrington, personally recorded a video to share the experience of using Yike Mars.

"After waiting for more than 5 months, I finally got the 3G touch-screen smart phone Mars released by Yike."

"This mobile phone, which is advertised as unique in the world, bloomed with a different brilliance from the first second I opened the mobile phone box!"

"I have to say that as a pre-order user, I will inevitably have many of the same concerns as everyone before I get the phone. A glass phone must be easy to break, right?"

"When I got it, such worries were thrown away because...it's really beautiful!"

"Mars canceled the physical keys, and even refused to keep the Home button like the iPhone, and gave us a complete 3.7-inch screen. I am holding a Nokia N95 in my left hand. Its 2.4-inch screen is compared..."

"The body of the N95 is made of engineering plastics, and the back is made of soft rubber."

"Based on the feel alone, the feeling of holding two mobile phones together does not seem like a product of an era!"

"I can somewhat understand why Yike insists on using such glass materials."

"Forgive me for praising the material feel of Mars so much. The last thing I admired was the metal texture of the iPhone, but I was soon troubled by the signal problem of the latter. After a day of use, Mars has not encountered this problem for the time being. bothered."

"The texture brought by the glass body, I really recommend other mobile phone manufacturers to follow up quickly."

"I am still willing to continue to praise the texture of Mars, but I have to talk about its front camera."

"But what should I say?"

"The collapse of Facebook's European servers not only proves Facebook's stinginess in European budgets, but also proves people's pursuit of self!"

"Mr. Fang's selfy word is very good. It can be traced back to the ancient Scottish word 'self-centered' in the 17th century. Hey, isn't self-portrait meant to be self-centered?"

"I can almost assert that the selfie of the front camera will profoundly change the habits of mobile phone users and the design of mobile phone manufacturers!"

"Only using it for one day, I must come to such a conclusion, and I must be faithful to my inner judgment."

"Because it's so convenient!"

"Oh yes, there are also YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter that are convenient. These three mobile software have built a video, social, and media framework. I doubt that I will spend more time on my mobile phone in the future."

Arlington was very interested in showing his use of the three software one by one, and also showed the excited speeches of users on the three platforms.

He said with great admiration: "Eco only claimed that its front camera is unique. I would say that its Internet application framework is also unique in the world, which greatly facilitates our users."

"As for the search for the root cause, the system on this mobile phone has such an effect."

"There is a software called Android store in it. I tried to download the recommended applications, and once again I am amazed by the convenience, and the application of the signature mechanism of Symbian is very backward!"

"The mobile phone made by Yike, I think its idea is not only to compete with the mobile phones in the market, but also to think about how to tap and meet the needs of users."

"I highly recommend the first phone from Echo and look forward to the next one."

"And after recommending it, I'm going to talk about its shortcomings."

"As a technology blogger, I own almost all the mobile phone products on the market. I have used the iPhone for five months. It is very similar to Mars. It is said that many parts come from the same supplier."

"I want to say objectively that as a touch-screen mobile phone, the experience of using the touch screen takes up a lot of user experience time, and the iPhone is superior to Mars in this respect."

"But when I want to take a selfie, when I don't have wifi and want to watch a video, in the future, when I want to use Amazon to shop without getting up from the couch, do I use the Mars or the iPhone?"

Arlington shrugged: "I can only choose Mars."

He leaned forward with his upper body and tapped the camera lens with his hand.

"Boom, boom, Jobs, we want 3G!"

"Boom, boom, Jobs, we want to front!"

"Dang dong dong, Jobs, Jobs, did you hear that? You've fallen..."

Snapped.

The notebook is covered.

Jobs clearly heard.

Not only did he hear it, but he was impressed.

People in Apple's conference room were already sitting down one after another, and it happened to be a bit embarrassing to hear Arlington's affectionate cry to Jobs.

Today's meeting is to discuss the two-day competitors.

Since that press conference, Apple has done a lot of research and analysis on Yike products.

As a result, to really see the popularity and reality of the sale on the Internet, another meeting hosted by Jobs himself had to be held.

The content of the meeting is not complicated. It will discuss whether to make improvements to the iPhone released next year.

According to the original plan, the next-generation iPhone will be released around June next year, mainly to add 6G functions, change the metal back shell to improve the signal problem, and also launch the Apple Store to increase the use of applications.

Now, what is before everyone is whether to learn based on Mars.

First, whether to add a front camera, which means a change in the internal design.

Second, whether to change the screen size, Yike has done a lot of publicity work by using the extra 3.7 inches of 0.2 inches.

Third, whether to also use a glass body, replacing next year's plastic design.

Fourth, based on this year's situation, whether to add pre-sales next year, optimize online marketing, and how to conquer the European market.

So far, 230 million iPhones have been sold in the US market, and only 25 units have been sold in the European market. The latter is a big problem.

In particular, Mars seems to be booming in Europe with Deutsche Telekom's channels, which is a very unfavorable signal. Apple's stock price has fallen in the past two days due to the popularity of its opponents.

Jobs talked about iPhone sales.

In fact, for a new mobile phone, the total sales volume of 255 million units is already very good, and around Christmas is the peak season for sales.

However, under the enthusiasm of competing products on the market, this is somewhat bleak.

"Yike has not announced the pre-sale sales until now. A large part of its current offline sales is due to the collection of pre-sale mobile phones. This is not a small bubble. I think..."

The speech of Apple's marketing director was interrupted by Jobs waving his hand.

Jobs saw the latest news push appeared on the laptop of the colleague on the right—Eco announced the sales volume of mobile phones.

He interrupted the meeting, pulled his notebook closer, and clicked on the message.

——Eco announced that the sales volume of Mars exceeded 100 million units!

"Since Yike's mobile phone was released on December 12, as of 10:12 pm on the 3th, in just two days, the sales volume of Mars exceeded 100 million."

"Does this mean the era of touch-screen phones is coming?"

"Is this a challenge to the mainstream mobile phone system launched by the Android system?"

"Yike Mars is still going on."

In just two days, even knowing that there was a pre-sale, when the number of 100 million really came into view, Apple executives including Jobs were shocked!
There was silence in the conference room!
Just like Apple is waiting for Christmas sales, Yike Mars will inevitably increase sales around Christmas.

Apple is working hard towards 300 million, when will Yike's 200 million be?And, will Yike reach 300 million before Apple?
There is also a European market over there!

Jobs allowed his colleagues to go back to the meeting process after intensive discussions.

This time, however, the decision-making was quick.

Jobs made the decision himself: "Add a front-facing camera."

This meant changes to the exterior and interior, requiring the removal of parts of the design.

As for the screen size, he is still hesitating. With a gap of 0.2 inches, the fluency of the system should be enough to make up for the user's scrutiny.

If even the screen is on par with Yike, wouldn’t this be Apple Mars?
Jobs finalized the content of the meeting one after another, and will urgently negotiate with European operators, no longer insist on the original high share, and strive to improve competitiveness in Europe and make up for this shortcoming.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

When Jobs returned to the office, he couldn't help opening his laptop to see the feedback on Yike's sales on the Internet.

However, as soon as he opened YouTube, he was pushed a video from Fang Zhuo, the head of Yike.

"Mars breaks through 100 million units, which is of course the favorite of consumers. I am very happy that the first mobile phone we made can be recognized."

"I once promised Jobs that I would give him the millionth mobile phone."

"The one I'm holding in my hand is a gift that's going to be sent by Amazon."

"He's going to love it, it's healthy competition between us."

"By the way, Amazon will launch its Android software application before Christmas, and you can use Mars for mobile shopping on Christmas."

"Also, the Android system is upgraded tonight, and we have carefully prepared fruit killer eggs for everyone."

After watching the video with a sullen face, Jobs felt that the smile inside was particularly dazzling.

Are you familiar?
Who wants your phone?

I want to buy it myself!

Jobs glanced at Mars on the table, suspecting that the surname Fang was even targeting him with Easter eggs, fruit killer?Got the wrong name?Apple Killer?
After fighting for many years, Apple knows Fang Zhuo's heart best.

……

It is no coincidence.

When Apple first learned that the sales volume of Mars exceeded one million, the Finnish giant Nokia was also forced to hear the news.

Kallasvuo Kallasvuo, head of Nokia, was interviewed by a reporter by phone.

He heard what the reporter on the other end said, and he repeatedly suspected that the other party had misrepresented the data.

"What? What? How many days? Yike's mobile phone has sold over a million? Is it a million? Which million?"

The reporter said with absolute certainty, that's right, the sales volume has exceeded one million, which is Mars' two-day million!It is the mobile phone company of Fang Zhuo, the world's richest man, that is on the rise!

Kovrig was shocked.

Is this the phone that was supposed to be a touchscreen toy?

This is the little-known new player in the industry?
Is this, that... a small mobile phone manufacturer that will infringe Nokia's patents?
You might as well say that Yike bought Samsung overnight and changed all the names!
It was 09:30 p.m. European time. Kovrig hurriedly ended the interview, called his subordinates, and got a brief report. Only then did he know that there was still a "minority" going on.

Kovrig knew about the pre-sale, and knew that the two-day period was mixed with pre-sale, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

However, this still attracts attention. Are users so attracted by the front camera?This deserves a closer look.

Kovrig talked about a million for two days, thinking that this pre-sale was a slightly interesting routine.

Almost at the same time, Lowell, the head of Verizon, who had announced the cooperation with LG, looked at the news on the computer, lost in thought and hesitation.

Yike mixed with the two-day pre-sale million is also very powerful.

However, South Korea's LG is a well-known brand, and it is equipped with the Symbian system with the largest number of users in the world. Moreover, LG has released two capacitive screen products.

Coupled with its own users and channels in the United States.

This way you can't lose, right?

How can such a combination lose?
Lowell stared at Yi Ke's news for a long time, thinking that he wanted to send his congratulations to Yi Ke out of grace.

He dialed the number of the head of Yike, and as soon as he connected, he heard a very noisy background sound on the other side, which seemed to be a celebration party.

"Congratulations to Yi Ke and Mr. Fang for their great success." Lowell showed his grace in a calm manner.

Before Fang Zhuo wanted to speak, champagne was opened beside him, and even Schmidt's "FFFFF..." rang out.

"Hey, Verizon's, Verizon's, boo."

Lowell heard Mr. Fang's reminder to others at the other end, and then made a formal answer.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Thank you, this is just a small step for Yi Ke."

Lovell thought the next sentence was "but a big step for the mobile phone industry".

"I hope to still receive your call before Christmas." Fang Zhuo said clearly amidst the celebratory voices of colleagues and partners, "At that time, we can say Merry Christmas to each other."

Lowell understood the meaning, exchanged some pleasantries, and ended the call.

Christmas?
200?
impossible!
Lowell's heart is full of gloom, only 13 days left, can you sell nearly 8 units a day?You can sell 13 million units per second in 100 days, and I ate LG's mobile phone on the spot, on the spot!
Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!
LG, LG, you have to stand up!Stand up! !
