Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 829

Many people stretched their necks to see the boxy things Lu Yiming put on the table, but the light was so dim that they couldn't see clearly.

Lu Yiming continued his speech.

"Since we want to reinvent the mobile phone, it will naturally be different from all previous mobile phones. I want to give it wisdom."

"I named this product Panda. As we all know, Panda is our national treasure. My goal is to make the Panda mobile phone a national treasure."

Lu Yiming's words immediately sparked a heated discussion among everyone.

"Panda phone? Well, it does sound better than Maomao phone."

"It's blowing again. I want to see how your phone is different from all the previous phones."

"Lu Dazui."

"Don't touch the porcelain national treasure."

Lu Yiming had heard people mention it before, and the name Maomao mobile phone was not very good, so Lu Yiming thought of a panda cigarette, so he decided to call the mobile phone brand Panda.

The word panda appeared on the big screen, and the icon was an abstract panda head.

Kind of like Mickey's head.

Lu Yiming continued his speech.

"Come on, now let's talk about our reinvented phone. First, it has a revolutionary user interface."

Two letters of UI appear on the screen.

"It's the culmination of years of research and development. It's the perfect combination of hardware and software."

"Someone may ask, why do we need such a thing? It took years to develop it, and I'll tell you, I spent a lot of money."

"There are four mobile phones here, also known as smart phones."

Four mobile phones appeared on the screen, namely motoQ, BlackBerry, PalmTreo, NokiaE62.

Without exception, these mobile phones have a boxy screen on the top and a densely packed 26 full keyboard below.

These so-called smart phones are all written in some programs in the JAVA programming language, which is the product of the transformation from a fully functional machine to a semi-smart machine.

"What's the problem with these four phones? In my opinion, all their problems are on the dense keyboard below."

After hearing this, the representatives of the mobile phone manufacturers felt unhappy again.

What mobile phone is not like this now?This is already the most advanced mobile phone.

"These things, whether you use them or not, are there. Do you think it makes sense?"

When Lu Yiming asked, everyone in the audience laughed.

"Isn't that ready to use whenever you need it?"

"Can you take it down when you don't need it?"

"This is a bit of a problem. If there is no keyboard, how can the mobile phone be used? How to make calls and send text messages?"

The representatives of these mobile phone manufacturers really want to make a case against Lu Yiming and scold Lu Yiming.

From their point of view, Lu Yiming's nitpicking was purely nitpicking.

Lu Yiming listened to these people's discussions, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he continued: "These keyboards are often not used by us, but we have to carry them all the time. I can't bear it. So the panda mobile phone One thing to solve is this problem. I want to remove the keyboard on the Panda phone."

"Remove the keyboard?"

"You're kidding me, how do you use the phone without the keyboard?"

Since Bell invented the telephone, there have been several buttons to operate from the simplest dial dial to the later 9 number keys, and even the BP machine that intelligently accepts incoming call reminders.

It is hard for everyone to imagine a mobile phone without a keyboard.

However, at this moment, a boxy mobile phone appeared on the screen - let's just look at the shape, it looks like a mobile phone.

The front of this phone is a big screen, and there is nothing else.

"Look, everyone, this is our Panda phone, a reinvented phone."

Although everyone discussed before, and even expressed disdain for Lu Yiming's various statements, when this thing appeared on the big screen, it still attracted a burst of exclamation.

"Is this the panda phone?"

"It looks like a boxy vanity mirror!"

"Without a keyboard, how do you operate this phone?"

After the mystery was revealed, Lu Yiming picked up the mobile phone on the table, and a spotlight shone on his mobile phone.

"This is the Panda phone. When you look at this picture, you may think, how can I operate without a keyboard? Some people may think of a computer. The computer is also a screen, and then a mouse and keyboard. Should we equip the mobile phone with these tools? No , so stupid. The best tool in the world is our fingers. Why don't we just use our fingers to operate directly on the screen?"

"We invented a ten-point touch screen. We use our fingers instead of a mouse, and use our fingers to tap the screen of a mobile phone like a mouse on a computer screen to use a mobile phone. This is what I call reinventing the mobile phone!"

"This is the first different, different user interface I gave this phone. Anyone can use the phone to operate this phone intuitively. You no longer need the arrow keys to go up, down, left, and right to find what you need. , you only need to click with your fingers. You don’t need those complicated keys anymore, because you can write on the computer screen with your hands.”

As a demonstration video played on the screen, the audience in the audience was all excited.

"Damn, this is awesome."

"Maomao Mobile re-invented the mobile phone, this is not an exaggeration! My God, this is really like a brand new invention!"

"Although, I have to say this is pretty cool!"

"Finger directly on the screen, this idea is absolutely amazing!"

"Needless to say, I will definitely buy one when this phone comes out!"

Many people changed their views after listening to Lu Yiming's introduction, and even had the urge to place an order immediately.

Operating the phone directly on the screen with your fingers is definitely the coolest thing in the world!
Science fiction!

And the representatives of the mobile phone manufacturers sitting at the scene were shocked by how much Lu Yiming gritted their teeth just now.

Their eyes were fixed on the big screen, looking at the panda mobile phone that seemed to come from the future, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Even many people feel like mourning.

It's over, it's really over now.

When Lu Yiming's mobile phone comes out, it will kill other mobile phones!

When the big brother appeared, it changed the life of the BB machine.

These miniaturized mobile phones such as Nokia PHS have revolutionized the lives of mobile phones.

Now, none of these can run away.

One counts as one, in front of the panda mobile phone, they all have to die!
Lu Yiming continued his speech.

"I believe you are already surprised when you see this, right? But if it's just like this, I don't need to spend so much time and energy on it. Since I want to reinvent the mobile phone, I need to be different in every aspect."

"As I said, it is a smartphone. In order to give it intelligence, Yixun Technology has specially developed an operating system for it. This is the Hongmeng operating system."

The operating system is no stranger to everyone, and now the computer runs the Windows operating system.

The surprising thing is that Lu Yiming actually created an operating system for mobile phones!
This is a very incredible thing!
"Why is your next computer a computer?"

Lu Yiming picked up the panda phone and said, "It is a computer that can fit in your trouser pocket. It can do everything a computer can do!"

"For example, log in to QQ and chat with people."

Lu Yiming demonstrated on the spot that he can log in to QQ with Panda mobile phone, and the interface is almost the same as the computer version of QQ.

This immediately caused screams from the scene.

Especially the virtual keyboard that appears when you need it and disappears automatically when you don't need it, which makes people call it sci-fi.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yiming demonstrated how to use the mobile phone to listen to music, take photos, watch videos and browse the web.There are already dedicated apps for these in the Hongmeng system.

"This is the application store of Hongmeng OS. You can download the software you want to your mobile phone at any time. It can be said that from today on, everyone's mobile phone will have unique functions!"

"I announce that the Hongmeng system application store is open to all developers for free, anyone can make software and put it on the Hongmeng application store!"

The press conference was over in half an hour, and Lu Yiming only demonstrated some basic functions.

For smartphones, 1 people have 1 ways to play them. Of course, it is impossible for Lu Yiming to explain everything at the press conference.

Although it is only the tip of the iceberg about smartphones, it is enough to shock people beyond recognition.

It has been 5 minutes since the press conference ended, and the applause on the scene is still prolonged.

In the original mobile phone market, Nokia was the king and hegemony, and mobile phones of brands such as Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, etc. were also blooming, competing for beauty, presenting a grand occasion of vigor and vitality.

However, after the Panda mobile phone came out, there were only two types of mobile phones left on the market, one was the Panda mobile phone, and the other was other brands of mobile phones.

Panda phone has become a unique existence!
The emergence of smartphones heralds the official arrival of the era of mobile Internet. However, many mobile phone giants that dominated the entire industry chain in the feature phone era have not yet realized that their ambitious dominance is coming to an end.

The Panda mobile phone came out shockingly, and through the rapid spread of the Internet, it spread all over the world in an instant.

A few days later, Nokia's headquarters in Finland, a small European country.

President Peng Peijia fell silent after watching the press conference of the Panda phone.

When he got off work, he was unexpectedly blocked by reporters at the door of the company.

"The Xia people reinvented the mobile phone, what do you think about this matter?"

Peng Peijia said contemptuously: "People in the Xia Kingdom don't understand mobile phones, and their mobile phones are of poor quality."

As he said that, he took out his Nokia mobile phone, threw it on the ground hard, then picked it up and blew the dust. The mobile phone was not damaged at all.

"Only our Nokia, the quality is excellent!"

However, this argument did not cause any waves on the Internet, and it is even less likely to have any impact on Panda mobile phones.

Even, a group of people on the Internet are calling him an idiot.

"Panda phones start at $499 apiece, who would drop them for fun?"

"Is this person out of his mind? Old things like Nokia should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago."

However, some Nokia fans were unconvinced and spoke up for Nokia on the forum: "Our Nokia mobile phones are bulletproof, and your Panda mobile phones are not even waterproof!"

Fans of the Panda phone looked scornful at this: "Why, are you going to use your phone as a bulletproof vest, or play with it while swimming? Go to the doctor if you have a mental illness, and stop showing off your IQ here."

Regardless of the debate on the Internet, the sales of Panda mobile phones have been completely booming. During the global launch, several specialty stores in the United States even formed long queues outside the stores. The price as high as 499 US dollars still cannot stop consumers. Enthusiasm, many people came to line up overnight after watching the press conference.

Most of these people are Tianyin MP3 users, and the Panda mobile phone, a cross-generational product, has long been recognized in the community.

At the Apple headquarters in the United States, Joe’s boss was pushing the progress of the R&D department, and then his assistant came to him, and Joe’s boss was furious: “Didn’t you see that I’m busy? I’ll talk about it later!”

The assistant had long been used to Gang Leader Qiao's irascibility.He directly opened a video file in his laptop and said, "Look at this."

With doubts, Leader Qiao watched the video.

It is the launch event of Maomao Mobile's Panda mobile phone.

After watching the press conference, Gang Leader Qiao was completely dumbfounded, and then said angrily, "Someone must have leaked the secrets in the company! Find it out! You must find out the person for me!"

At this point, his first-generation iPhone was ready.

In the original history, iphone1 was released on January 2007, 1.

Lu Yiming was eight days ahead of him.

2007 1 Month 8 Day.

At Maomao Mobile headquarters, Huang Zhang found Lu Yiming excitedly, and said, "The 200 million Panda phones we prepared have all been sold out, and orders are still skyrocketing."

Lu Yiming was surprised: "Is the market's acceptance so high? In just a few days, 200 million units have been sold out? Are there so many rich people now?"

The pricing of Panda mobile phones is aimed at the high end.

Lu Yiming is very clear that if the price is high at the beginning, it can be decided whether to lower the price in the future, but like Xiaomi, the price is low at the beginning, and if you want to enter the high-end market later, it will take a lot of effort.

Huang Zhang said with a smile: "It's not about the price. Such an epoch-making product cannot be measured by money at all. And relying on your strong network, this mobile phone is sold simultaneously all over the world. What about the billions of people on the planet? , there are quite a few rich people."

Lu Yiming asked, "How much is left in stock?"

Huang Zhang said: "Before you asked us to prepare 500 million units, there are still 220 million units in the warehouse, and the rest are still in overtime production."

Lu Yiming warned: "Send half of the remaining inventory to foreign countries first, and sell 20 units each time. Don't sell too fast, so as not to sell out of stock."

Huang Zhang nodded. He was so excited that he wished he could go to the front line to turn screws and produce more panda phones.

At a price of 499 US dollars, 200 million units is almost 10 billion US dollars!
It's too easy to make money.

As soon as Huang Zhang left, Yu Jiayi came in front of Lu Yiming and said, "Mr. Lu, Apple's boss Qiao has launched a press conference. It is said that they will launch a brand new smartphone."

Because Lu Yiming asked her to keep an eye on Apple before, although Yu Jiayi didn't know why, she still did it.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It happens to be free, so let's take a look together."

He used his computer to connect to the network of the beautiful country, and began to watch Qiao's press conference online.

It can be seen that the term "Bangzhu Qiao" is a press conference held to catch ducks on the shelves. Strictly speaking, his Love Crazy 1 is not highly completed, and it is completely a show.

If there is no competing product of the same type on the market, it is really possible to rely on Apple's diehard fans to become a god of faith.

Make money, and then slowly improve the subsequent second-generation, third-generation, and fourth-generation products.

On the original timeline, the sales of Apple’s first-generation iCrazy mobile phone were not very good. The real masterpiece was iCrazy 4, and then it took off completely and became the gravedigger of feature phones.

It's a pity that Ai Crazy 1, who was placed with high hopes by the leader of Qiao's gang, met a strong competitor this time - Panda Mobile.

At the press conference of Love Crazy 1, Gangzhu Qiao was wearing his round neck sweater and talking on stage, but the audience below did not buy it.

"Why does it feel a bit like a panda phone?"

"Does it look like it? I don't think it looks like it. It's much uglier than a panda phone."

The people around agreed one after another.

"really."

"It's not as sharp-edged as a panda phone, and the arc behind it makes it impossible for the phone to be placed on the table normally."

"I came here to have a look because I couldn't buy a Panda phone. I didn't expect that Qiao Gangzhu was really disappointing this time. The gap between Ai Crazy 1 and Panda phones is too big, especially the screen is so small. "

Many Apple fans are very disappointed. They originally planned to support Qiao Gangzhu, but the degree of completion of Love Crazy 1 is too low. The software function is smaller than that of Panda mobile phone, but the hardware is similar, but your screen is 5 inches. The screen of You Love Crazy 1 is only 3.5 inches!
The pricing is still the same, do you really think us old fans are fools?
During the normal press conference, for more than an hour, Gang Leader Qiao spoke dryly.

After the press conference was over, Chief Joe came backstage and asked Vice President Cook, "How's the response?"

Cook showed a embarrassed expression, and finally said truthfully: "I have read the speeches of users on the Internet, and most of them have opinions."

Gang leader Qiao got angry and scolded: "Any opinion? Love Crazy is my most perfect work! Are they all blind? What do you think you are not satisfied with?"

Cook sighed and said: "Most users' opinions are focused on the size of the screen. They think the screen of Ai Crazy 1 is too small and a bit shabby."

Qiao Gangzhu was even more angry when he heard the words: "I think 3.5 inches is just right, and it is very safe to hold with one hand."

Cook was helpless: "It's useless for you to tell me, you have to convince users."

Gang leader Qiao was so angry that he wanted to throw the glass. He couldn't accept that his design aesthetics were questioned, let alone change it.

In fact, the screen size of the previous generations of Ai Crazy has been criticized by the market, and Qiao Gangzhu is still life and death, and has to teach users how to do things.

Afterwards, the large-screen smart phones of competitors sold well, and Apple finally lowered its proud head and made the screen bigger and bigger.
