Chapter 254 Mobile Phone Release
"Once again, we apologize for Professor Wang's bad experience. It was our fault for not taking good care of him!"
After Wang Yi was released from observation and allowed to leave, Li Zhenxi came over as a representative to apologize to Wang Yi.
At the same time, several popular female group members were selected to ask Wang Yi for some guidance.
"Mr. Li, you're too polite. Actually, I don't have much to worry about during this period. I can communicate with these experts every day, which is quite fulfilling. But I have been away for a long time, so I have to go back to my country."
It was time to go back, and Wang Yi was too lazy to do any more ideological work for the girl group.
"Why not let them go back with the professor? Doesn't the professor have an entertainment company under his command?"
Li Zhenxi said with a smile.
These words made Wang Yi glance at her.
There is no restriction order yet. Nan Gaoli's team is very popular in China. It is hard to say whether there will be a parallel world in the future. Wang Yi will not let Da Piaoliang mess around at his doorstep.
However, the domestic entertainment industry is already in a mess.
"Oh, I don't really like the spread of foreign culture in China. Are they planning to learn Chinese?"
Wang Yi's words stunned Li Zhenxi. She didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
But when I thought about the fact that he was an "upright" scholar, it seemed normal.
"Since they are asked to follow their husband, then of course they have to meet all of his requirements. It is not impossible for them to learn Chinese and debut in Chinese."
"Okay, come on the plane with me."
If we don't engage in cultural exports, it would be nice to throw some catfish into this filthy entertainment industry.
Speaking of popularity, the trainees from South Korea are really popular...
The basics of dance are here, and Wang Yi has experienced it personally. He will go back and practice the most dazzling ethnic style...
…
It is convenient to have your own private plane, which can directly reach Shudian Airport.
When Wang Yi returned, he also posted a message on Weibo announcing his return and received a lot of blessings.
Driver Xu Feng drove to the airport early to wait for Wang Yi. Qian Yayan was supposed to come too, but Wang Yi also brought a few members of the girl group with him, and it would be too crowded, so she was not allowed to come.
However, when Xu Feng saw Wang Yi followed by a group of beautiful female fairies, his eyes immediately widened.
Hey~ Another group of female fairies!
For a moment, he couldn't help but clench the Buddha statue in front of his chest and began to chant.
Then he drove calmly without paying attention to what was happening outside the window, letting the group of beautiful girls behind him surround Wang Yi and play around...
…
Wang Yi went to Seoul, but was delayed for a while because of the "Ebola outbreak".
During this period, Umbrella is also actively preparing for its first mobile phone!
Umbrella had originally acquired some factories and then sent out some orders. Although the output was still limited, it could not compare with Four Stars and Fruit, or even many friendly domestic companies.
But there should be no problem in barely completing the first wave of stockpiling and catching up with the ultra-long battery life mobile phones that were released almost at the same time.
Yes, it was the battery developed by Umbrella, but because of the time spent integrating other components and some of its own "micro-innovations", it almost failed to catch up with the first batch. This is the result of trying to do everything at once and taking too big a step.
As far as the manufacturing process of smartphones is concerned, these OEM factories are now relatively mature. The structure and combination of Lin Shiqin's design are not a problem at all, and the configuration can definitely be considered excellent among Android phones of the same level.
But just as Wang Yi had prepared before, Umbrella’s mobile phone must have some gimmicks of its own, right?
You can't be weaker than others!
Therefore, in the end, we must still carry out a second upgrade from our own factory .
"Boss, they are preparing to launch their new mobile phone? Do we want one?"
Lin Shiqin asked Wang Yi.
"Let's open one, but there's no offline store yet, so just sell it all online."
Umbrella was still too young after all, and was indeed lacking in some of its "internal strength" and accumulation.
Even the shipment of mobile phones has only accumulated 3 million units so far, and this is still due to the advantage in batteries. Compared with other friendly companies, there is indeed a big gap...
…
"Umbrella is going to make cell phones?"
"It's normal. Their batteries are so awesome!"
"But there are so many aspects of a mobile phone, and there's more than just one battery. Is this possible?"
"Just ask Xiao Mai. Xiao Mai is fine. I think Umbrella is fine."
"Why study cell phones when you can study zombies?"
"Why didn't you study zombies? Wasn't there a rumor about a zombie outbreak at Seoul University? They were the ones who did it. 'Haha~'"
"Oh, yes, yes, there were also rumors about Africa last time, but when will that game be released? It looks pretty good."
"What game dares to challenge Star World now?"
“The zombie theme is different.”
"Speaking of mobile phones, how did you end up with games?"
“Can’t I play games on my phone?”
"They don't just study mobile phones. I saw the news about South Korea. Umbrella has landed 6.7 million tons in South Korea, totaling 21 ships. The smallest is 100,000 tons, and the largest is 1 million tons."
"What the hell? Tell me how many tons an aircraft carrier weighs. Millions of tons, that's bullshit."
"Come on, aircraft carriers are just little brothers in front of some large cargo ships, but a million tons is a bit exaggerated!"
"It's mainly a demand issue. Usually, if the tonnage is too large, it's better to build two smaller ones. Except for some special ships, there are actually many restrictions if the ship is too large. How long will it take to be fully loaded? It's better to have two smaller ones to run more points than to run half of the warehouse."
“What does this have to do with making cell phones?”
"No, I'm just telling you that Umbrella Corporation is awesome!"
"I work in the domestic shipbuilding industry. Umbrella has been making big investments recently, not just from South Korea. my country has also placed orders for several million tons of tonnage, and it seems Japan has also received some."
"Shit, tens of millions of tons? What is Umbrella going to do?"
"I don't know, but it's a big move, maybe they're going to set up shipping logistics? Anyway, many ocean-going sectors are falling now."
In fact, Umbrella's shipbuilding actions attract more attention than its mobile phone actions.
After all, it's too much to ask for in one breath.
Although they are all civilian vessels, the total number of these vessels is too much, right? What are you going to do?
The total carrying capacity of Maersk Line, the world's number one ocean-going company, is only 18 million tons.
But if all the orders placed by Umbrella this year are freight, it will directly become the world's number one!
This is so annoying.
Moreover, the shipbuilding drawings belong to Umbrella itself, and it is not yet known what their main purpose is.
It’s just that the money is their own and they are willing to spend it that way, so who can say it’s not right?
What if they just want to attack First Shipping?
However, First Shipping is not so easy to attack.
There are so many factors to consider, it really involves all aspects, we need to have offices all over the world, connect with ports of entry, connect with goods, and connect with customers!
There are many cumbersome processes.
There is also a series of issues such as seafarers, captains, etc.
As the world's largest ocean-going company, Maersk Line has more than 600 locations, hundreds of cargo ships, and is supported by a large number of seafarers!
But the market value of such a large company is only a few hundred billion US dollars if calculated in US dollars. It is certainly very strong, but it is really far behind the top technology companies. In fact, it can be considered hard-earned money.
It’s just that this kind of basic entity is usually more stable, so there is no need to worry about too much fluctuation.
Shipping is vital, but Maersk does not have a monopoly or dominance.
Because Sino-Ocean Group has many...
With Umbrella's ability to make money and wealth, it would be no problem for them to squeeze into this market, but it is hard to understand why they would spend so much energy and money on this.
Even if you are worried about the freight being blocked, there is no need to worry. If this company doesn’t transport it, aren’t there other companies?
Just when the outside world was paying more attention to Umbrella's huge investment in shipbuilding, Umbrella's new mobile phone live broadcast conference started without much warning.
Phone model.
Red Queen－V1.0
As soon as the name of the mobile phone model came out, it instantly set the entire Internet on fire.
"I knew it, I knew Umbrella was going to cause trouble!"
"Is this the interaction between Red Queen and the mobile phone? No wonder Red Queen's related software has not been released, but some office software has been released!"
"Yes, it turns out that he was preparing to use his ultimate move on his phone. Has the system also been improved?"
"Separate system?"
“…”
Umbrella is a golden signboard. Who dares to ignore Umbrella now?
Even though Umbrella has just officially entered the manufacturing industry and the mobile phone industry, it has still attracted great attention from friendly competitors.
In fact, after Ningya’s batteries began to be sold to the outside world, Apple, Samsung and many other mobile phone manufacturers have successively held press conferences for new phones, all of which focused on super battery life and fast charging.
Umbrella is actually a bit behind schedule in terms of press conferences.
But even so, every move still touches people's nerves .
No, I was not seeing things.
The release of a model description at the beginning has already caused a sensation.
Even certain songs, four stars, and fruits are highly concerned.
A certain song focuses more on the system, while four stars and fruits focus more on the phone as a whole.
Even though Umbrella now has a good cooperative relationship with Four Star, this is how business works, and the struggle for interests must be a fight for every inch of land.
But soon, Mou Ge breathed a sigh of relief because Umbrella still used the Android system as its main framework.
It has only been optimized and adjusted to a certain extent based on the Android open source license.
At the same time, relevant intelligent services of 'Red Queen' were introduced!
"I believe that when you see the name of the phone, you will know what our goal is. Yes, Red Queen will have some functions connected to the phone. You should have known about the voice function at the previous fruit machine launch conference, and Siri and Red Queen are linked.
"But please rest assured, we will not sell you a castrated version of the voice assistant's linkage function with Red Queen. In other words, our voice assistant function is almost the same as Siri."
Li Yao's words made the fruit group feel relieved, but at the same time, they also felt heavy in their hearts.
It’s not that I’m worried about the impact of Umbrella’s mobile phone, but I understand Umbrella’s intention in doing this!
So kind, don't castrate it? Everyone uses the same version?
How can it be kind!
This is clearly telling other mobile phone companies, come on, come and connect to our Red Queen’s smart voice!
After the World Corporation collected the beauty tax, it is very likely that Umbrella Corporation will also collect the "IQ tax" from all smartphones, the IQ tax on voice assistants!
And considering the difference in software difficulty, this "IQ tax" is much heavier!
The fruit is 5% of the whole machine price! No negotiation!
In order to complete the agreement with Umbrella, Fruit has made a lot of concessions. When the time comes, they can directly use this template, and a considerable portion of the profits in the global mobile phone market will be directly taken away by Umbrella. They may even stop selling mobile phones!
It's just like Qualcomm, which makes money without doing anything. Yet, we have to let it rob us!
There are really not many companies that are actively investing in the field of artificial intelligence at present, and Umbrella has an overwhelming advantage here.
"Secondly, it is our system advantage. Apple's system is a closed loop, which everyone knows. Everyone is also familiar with the Android system. At present, our company's system has made some improvements on the Android system that are closer to Red Queen. Please rest assured that what we use are the publicly authorized parts of a certain song, and there is no infringement of relevant patents..."
Then Li Yao began to demonstrate the functions of Red Queen-V1.0.
Soon everyone understood why Umbrella had such confidence and tone, because they found that the control mode of Red Queen might be a little different from traditional mobile phones.
The overall intelligence is quite high, not just the voice assistant, but the entire system is centered around intelligent services...
