Chapter 590 Logic Leads Progress, The World Belongs to the Three-Body Problem! (5k)

The press conference is over, but the bullets will fly for a while.

About logicX2, the global open source of the Android system, logic and Google's establishment of the Android Openers Alliance, all kinds of news, accompanied by media propaganda, quickly spread from Silicon Valley to the world.

It has been rumored that Google joined the Android Open Alliance in order to make mobile phones by itself. There is no doubt that it will break itself.

Google does not make mobile phones, but only the "brain" of mobile phones——

Android operating system.

Together with Logic, dozens of hardware, communication, mobile phone, and software application manufacturers have been assembled to form an aircraft carrier cluster, and they are heading towards Nokia and Microsoft.

Why no apples?
Because today's IOS market share is not even 0.1%, no matter what grade, it is also worthy of competing with Android!
As the smartphone that shakes Nokia's global supremacy, major newspapers such as the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and "Wall Street Journal" reported it vigorously. Bloomberg even made a big book just half an hour after the press conference. special book.

"Lu once again showed us the infinite possibilities of the future of smartphones!"

"Better camera experience, more application experience, stronger functional experience, especially the design of the APP store, let me really see the inestimable prospects of smart phones, which may be incompatible with the current mainstream mobile phones, but I completely believe that -"

"This is what the mainstream mobile phone of the future will look like!"

"I don't know how many manufacturers are willing to follow up, but I know that those who do not follow up are likely to be eliminated."

"And as a consumer, I'm happy to see this, because progress can bring convenience to us."

"After all, who would say no to such an advanced smartphone for $299 or $399?"

"Let us look forward to the results of the logicX2 pre-sale."

The Huaxia Bank Group headed by CITIC bought 20% of the shares of Bloomberg from Lehman. Naturally, they reciprocated.

Although there are elements of bragging, but the bragging is well-founded!
The 8G storage memory is only 299 US dollars, and the 16G is only 399 US dollars.

Look at the current mid-to-high-end models——

Apple's Maga, 2G also dare to sell 499 dollars?

As for functional phones such as Nokia and Samsung, the software and software are not good, and the hardware and hardware are not good. How dare you!

Friends and merchants have one, count as one, and are coerced by public opinion and forced to discuss price reduction strategies helplessly.

When the Internet was boiling for logicX2, the UP owners in the technology area supported by the YouTube MCN plan, especially the top-notch George, made a special video about the launch of the new logic machine for the millions of fans who followed him. .

First of all, I stacked a armor at the beginning, and posted two invitation letters to prove that I am a fruit fan and a believer of the Three-Body God Sect!
"Just the day before yesterday, I was invited to participate in Logic's conference, compared with the Apple conference in the first half of the year—"

"Honestly, cool, so fucking cool!"

"It gave me an urge to completely switch from apples to logic, because apples are no longer the apples they used to be."

"But logic is always great logic."

"Can you imagine the combination of shooting and social networking? You can take a photo on your phone in one second, and upload it to Facebook and Twitter in the next second. That's right, Lu thought of it! Can you imagine the concept of an APP store? No Wrong, Lu thought of it!"

"Can you imagine combining the front camera with face unlocking? That's right, Lu thought of it..."

"Think of it all!"

"Jobs? He looks to me now, just like I'm looking at the Maga2G in my hand and my family's Nokia. They are completely antiques from the last century. If Apple doesn't make great products comparable to lphone and logicX2 ..."

"Steve Jobs will eventually fall from the altar!"

"Then, there is only one God in this era."

"It's Lu, our Lord!"

The number of views and likes of the video continued to skyrocket. In just one hour, the number of views exceeded 35, and the number of comments exceeded [-].

It is indeed a Chinese import.

Imported products are better than domestic ones.

"I'm going to replace our whole family with logic phones!"

"I'm sorry, Jobs, I won't use Apple anymore, I'm afraid the logic will be misunderstood."

"Why America, which has such a strong innovative ability, did not make logicX2, is worth our reflection."

"The design of the front camera is much better than the rotating camera. Lu taught them another thing."

"Isn't Lu 'Iron Man', why is he called 'Lord'?"

"'Lord' is the name of the three extraterrestrials in "The Three-Body Problem". Because they have a technological level that far surpasses that of earthlings, they are honored as 'lords' by 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 Internet, but the novel has only translated the first part, and the second part has just started..."

"The most mysterious experimental base of logic is called 'Three-Body'."

"Leading human science and technology, the world belongs to the three bodies!"

"Leading human science and technology, the world belongs to the three bodies!"

"Could this Trisolaran be a Chinese?"

"........."

Thanks to YouTube's ability to spread horror, and thanks to the amazing social energy of Facebook, Line, and Twitter, it quickly swept across the United States, and logicX2 became the most anticipated product in the country.

China Global Television Station (CGTN) made a special report on Logic that night, which lasted 30 minutes and was full of people.

"Logic, a well-known technology company in my country, has released the latest generation of 3G smart phone logicX2, which has aroused strong repercussions 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 smart phone is A revolutionary product, far ahead of all current mobile phone brands in the world, at least 11 years ahead..."

"what?"

Seeing the picture of Lu Fei appearing on the TV, Zeng Yu held the remote control in his hand, opened his mouth and stared, unable to speak for a long time.

"Xia Xia, Xia Xia, watch quickly, Dad is on TV."

Zeng Li hugged Lu Xia and shook it gently.

"Sister, she is so young, how can she know this?"

Zeng Yu saw the happiness overflowing from her sister's face, and weakly raised 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!

Didn't you say that happiness is all about grabbing?

"But I'm very happy now."

Zeng Li rolled her eyes: "Why do you still want to rob it? Maybe you will not be happy if you rob it. You can say that I am rigid or stubborn. I am just such a person, so I just accept it. People are not happy." , never needs to be measured by marriage, if marriage is sure to be happy, then why is there still divorce?"

"But I didn't say that marriage is unlucky..."

Zeng Yu muttered.

"Do you know what matters most to a couple?"

"what?"

"Love."

Zeng Li poked her sister's forehead with her hand.

Zeng Yu was speechless for a while.

"Do you know what is the most important thing about being a star?"

"what?"

"endure."

Zeng Li smiled and said, "Do you think I can be exposed?"

"Oh, I'm so annoying!"

Zeng Yu sighed, "I don't care about you guys anymore, as long as you can convince mom with your tricks." From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Lu Fei who was on the phone on the balcony, seeing him pacing up and down with mixed feelings.

"The Developer Alliance has only applied for 49 companies, too few, Larry, we must dare to ensure that there are at least 150 Android-compatible apps in the app store before the mobile phone goes on the market."

"Paul, you can rest assured that you can hand over the order of Snapdragon S1 to Fuxin. At present, the yield rate of our 65nm process has reached 63%, which is no worse than that of TSMC and Samsung. Yes, just like Qualcomm gave us discounts, Fuxin will also give us discounts. Your discount."

"Don't rush, Steve, I'll be at Nasdaq on time when the Spotify IPO bell rings."

"..."

"Scholar, I watched those videos on Youtube. It is right to criticize Nokia's backwardness and Symbian's poor quality. But don't just use logical phones to step on them. Yes, it's too obvious. HTC and Samsung are also included. , Apple boasted, and wanted to use the entire smartphone camp to severely criticize these functional phones from Nokia."

Phone calls one after another, either congratulations or business.

Less than 10 minutes after Lu Fei put down the phone, the ringtone rang again, and it was Lei Jun who called.

"This press conference was quite successful, congratulations to Mr. Lu."

"Haha, I feel good too."

Lu Fei exchanged some polite greetings with him.

Sitting in the hotel room, Lei Jun glanced at the newspapers that touted logic, "But Mr. Lu, I don't understand one thing. Is the price of logicX2 set a little lower this time? You want to go for 'extreme value for money'" route?"

"No, it's just a strategy we developed internally."

With some reservations, Lu Fei only said that it was catching up with the cold winter of memory chips, and the procurement cost of the supply chain was greatly reduced to make adjustments.

The key is to subtly divide a price pyramid.

Just like looking up at the U8, which only sells for more than 100 million, how about a Mercedes-Benz Big G that has nothing but a target and is worth several million?

Thus, the high premium for looking up to the U9 sports car is guaranteed.

It is equivalent to challenging the owner of the hall, 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 porcelain lphone series, such as Apple.

What's more, now that the subprime mortgage and P2P thunderstorms are imminent, the people of America have become poor ghosts, and there is no oil to squeeze.

(ps: Apple’s 2008 mobile phone was priced at $199)

Lei Jun listened in a cloud of mist, and didn't ask the bottom line. The conversation turned to the establishment of Xiaomi, hoping that Lu Fei could help.

In order to get his investment in the angel round, and to clarify what exactly Xiaomi plans to do, I 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 don't force it. Xiaomi can do it by itself." 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 firmly, "Xiaomi will definitely help Android popularize around the world, although I don't have any experience in hardware development and manufacturing, and I can't make the best smartphone in the world. , but strive to make the most cost-effective smart phone in the world, not 3999 yuan, not 2999 yuan, only 1999 yuan, or even 999 yuan, what do you think, Mr. Lu?"

It seems that I have really realized it!

Realize the essence of cost performance!
Lu Fei pondered for a moment under the moonlight, and invested 500 million US dollars, but secretly made a request, Xiaomi can't touch porcelain logic, this is a restricted area, don't say it's unexpected.

"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 ability, especially in supply chain management and marketing, is no worse than Apple's Cook, but it is obviously unlikely.

Lei Jun was extremely excited while being grateful.

In the past, Jinshan was like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net, but now it stands on its own, like a fish entering the sea, and is no longer restricted!

But after thinking about it, thinking about his old club, he weakly asked:

"Mr. Lu, Penguin recently announced that the QQ anti-virus software will be free for another year. Are you planning to keep it free?"

"Haha, you're asking the wrong person. Penguin is basically managed by Hua Teng and the others, and I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper."

Lu Fei laughed.

"So it is."

Lei Jun swallowed many questions with interest, guessing that the other party was busy, so he ended the call.

Looking up, the moon was covered by dark clouds in the sky.

Anti-virus software is a pillar business of Kingsoft.

If Penguin makes the anti-virus software permanently free, it will be a drudgery against Kingsoft, and even the entire paid antivirus market.

But when his options are exercised, he will lose a fortune in vain.

Lei Jun sighed in disappointment, thinking that when he founded Joyo.com, Feigou.com was still a small website, and Lu Fei was also a small role. He did not expect the status reversal to be so big.

Sure enough, you must stand on the wind.

Smartphones and mobile Internet are my outlets!
Just thinking about it, the news section of the Yahoo portal was updated in real time, and new messages popped up one after another——

"Samsung acts as the vanguard of mobile phone price cuts"

"Nokia Announces Big Price Cuts for Three Models"

"HTC Brings the First Android Smartphone to North America"

"Why Mobile Phone Manufacturers Collectively Cut Prices?It must all be logical! "

Friends and merchants seem to have made an appointment. If you drop, I will drop too.

All of a sudden, panic spread in the mobile phone circle, and I thought of the fear of being dominated by Lu Fei again. Although the logicX2 has not yet been released, and because it is not released, I have to quickly reduce the price to clear the inventory, and it will be too late!

"Steve, I'm afraid this won't work."

Cook's face was blue, "Maga is only 2G, and it can't bear the price cuts of so many 3G mobile phone brands. We have to cut prices and cut orders..."

"You bastard Lu, he used the previous style of playing music players on mobile phones." Jobs gritted his teeth, "Tim, what does the Ministry of Commerce say, can you restrict logical mobile phones from entering the North American market and protect local mobile phone brands? ?”

Cook shook his head and laughed and said, "The combined sales volume of logicX and lphone is only over 3000 million, which only accounts for 3% of the global market. Those bureaucrats think that if they want to sanction, they should also sanction Nokia. After all, Nokia accounts for [-]%."

"What do these idiots know!"

Jobs was so angry that with such a group of insects, how could he suppress logic in all directions?
"In short, when Logic does not pose a threat like Nokia, it is impossible for the Ministry of Commerce to take action, because Logic will purchase hundreds of millions of chip orders from Intel and Qualcomm."

Cook spread his hands helplessly: "To deal with logic, we can only rely on ourselves, unless we agree to the Ministry of Justice's plan, send Fleub to assist, arrest Lu, and then dismember Logic."

Jobs walked up and down, "Do you really think the latest Kindle poses a threat to the iPad we secretly developed?"

"Absolutely!"

Cook said categorically: "It seems to be two different directions, but I can see that it must be the same goal by different routes."

Jobs rubbed his chin, "We must speed up the development of the 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, and an app store..."

For this press conference, the two discussed countermeasures.

After chatting until facial recognition unlocking, Cook was very worried. After unlocking the password of the lphone, logicX2 created a new screen unlocking mode. The finger draws a line on the "3X3 dots" to connect the dots.

Thus, an unlocking pattern is constituted.

Logic now has two sets of patents for screen unlocking that seem to be the best solution, but any smart phone can't get around it.

You can only use fingerprint recognition to unlock 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?

There is no shortage of money and apples, but the key is manpower and time——

We can only set a priority, who comes first.

"What do you think, Tim?"

Jobs played with Maga2G in his hand.

"Japanese and Korean manufacturers like Sony and Samsung are very willing to follow up, but Nokia and Motorola are not clear." Cook adjusted his glasses, "But..."

"But what?"

"The company that cooperated with us on the fingerprint unlocking sensor revealed a very important gossip. Last year, Logic acquired a Swedish company that specializes in developing 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, and it won't take long to get results. If the situation is true, then he is deliberately misleading our research and development direction at the press conference."

"Hehe, like 'Project Star Wars.'"

Jobs scolded: "He really is a super jerk!"

Cook deeply believes that logic must be suppressed at any time, and it will not work if it is not suppressed. Think about it carefully, Apple took engineers, spent money, and spent time making mobile phones, and suddenly it was far ahead!Therefore, a day without logic is a good day!
Jobs thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes:

"Tim, since Maga is going to lower the price, how about we price the iPhone 3G at $199 next year?"

"what?"

Cook was taken aback, is this going to fight?
