The signing ceremony for the strategic cooperation between Marching Ants was crowded with people, and more of them were reporters who had heard about it.
In the hands of every reporter, whether it is a long gun or a short cannon, or a mobile phone or computer, any instrument that can be used to record is used.
Apple’s autumn conference has just passed, and news of Siri upgrades is in full swing. What do the army ants want to do when they make a noise at this time? Many media outlets had already smelled the special smell of gunpowder and were very excited. Naturally, they rushed over as soon as they got the news.
Time passed by minute by minute, and many reporters were whispering to each other, discussing the purpose of the ceremony of the Army Ant Company.
There have been rumors that Marching Ant Company will license multi-lingual intelligent assistants this time. But there is no specific information about which company it was authorized to. Some say Hua Wei, Glory, others say rice, Opal.
Various rumors, but no agreed answer.
While everyone was discussing, the scene suddenly fell silent and everyone looked towards the stage.
Time seemed to stand still. After seeing the person clearly, everyone's faces slowly became incredulous. The scene became turbulent and ended in an uproar. All the photographers, as if on fire, pointed their cameras at the people on the stage.
They were sure it wasn't an illusion.
Zhao Min, Yu Chengnan, Lei Jun, Chen Mingyong, Fan Wei, and Honor CEO Zhao Changming.
This is the first time that the bosses of several mobile phone companies have appeared on the same stage.
The reporter who was discussing just now suddenly realized that Army Ant did not sign a licensing agreement with a certain mobile phone company, but probably signed an agreement with five mobile phone companies.
For a time, the buzz on the field became louder and louder, and many reporters looked excited.
Big news, absolutely big news.
Just the fact that the heads of five companies appear on the same stage is big enough news. If something else happens, the news will be even bigger.
The taste of drama.
Qiao Liang in the audience licked his lips, his eyes were a little excited, and he began to think about how to write the manuscript.
Apple just announced the smart upgrade of Siri, and now this scene is happening. Obviously, it's for Apple.
The mobile phone products of Army Ant Company have not yet entered the international market on a large scale, but several other companies have already entered overseas business. Does Army Ant want to use the help of other companies to stop Apple
Huawei, Honor, Dami, Vivo and Opal are the five largest mobile phone brands in China, accounting for most of the domestic mobile phones.
Is this a one-time all-in-one authorization? Army Ant Company always seems to like to play its cards out of the box.
But that's the biggest news.
"Six sects besieging Apple?" 》
wrong.
The Army Ant Company alone is enough to rival Apple, and there is no need to besiege it at all.
"Is it possible for the mobile phone industry to reappear in the Huashan sword debate?" 》
Qiao Liang was thinking about the title, and while Zhao Min was delivering his speech, he was also writing the manuscript.
With a smile on her face, Zhao Min stood on the small podium and read the prepared manuscript.
The five companies wanted a signing ceremony with the clear purpose of building momentum. Using the influence of the Army Ant Company to create hype, and adding their five companies, this must be big news.
After the success of the campaign, it will be beneficial to the mobile phones to be released by the five companies, and it will also be beneficial to the Army Ant Company.
So they proposed to hold a public signing ceremony. Zhao Min did not refuse, but directly let people release the news and invited reporters over.
Cooperation between the two parties and a signing ceremony should have existed and would be beneficial to both parties.
Zhao Min's speech was very simple. He recalled the glory of the past, described the current situation, and looked forward to the future. Five minutes after the speech, the process officially entered the signing ceremony.
After signing and exchanging the authorization contract, there were no surprises.
The moment representatives from the six companies put their palms together, the shutter sounds of countless cameras merged into one, and the flashes were brighter than the lights.
The signing ceremony is over, and this has just begun.
Most of the leaders in the mobile phone industry appeared on the same stage at the same time. This has never happened before, but it happened this time, at the signing ceremony of the Army Ant Company.
Five companies were awarded smart assistants at the same time.
This news caused an uproar across the entire network. Many netizens are already excited, as if they have seen an annual show taking place.
"Let's make trouble. I'm a crowd waiting to see the show! Raise your paws like me."
"Army Ant made a bad move by licensing multilingual smart assistants to several companies, which is tantamount to giving them more power. Once it reaches a large scale, it is likely to squeeze out the original mobile phone market of Army Ant."
"Zhao Min once said that they are not afraid of competition. A market without competition is a pool of stagnant water. Natural selection and survival of the fittest are true. If a market is a pool of stagnant water, it is easy to be eliminated. Only competition will continue. Only when innovation enters this market will the market be dynamic."
In addition to the thoughts of netizens, more and more expert media are also involved in discussing the pros and cons of the Army Ant Company's move.
At this juncture, when conducting a signing ceremony with the five major companies, what Army Ant Company did was tantamount to pouring a ladle of water into the already boiling oil and causing it to explode instantly.
However, this is just the beginning.
Not long after the signing ceremony, Huawei announced that the launch of its new generation flagship phone will be held ten days later.
Now that the news is at its hottest, Huawei has announced this news, pouring fuel on the fire. Then, Rice also released news that it will hold a new phone launch conference in half a month.
Followed by Vivo and Opal who were not far behind.
Several companies have pushed the hot topic to a climax after announcing new machine launches.
…
In the office of the president of Apple, Cook looked at the news with an extremely sad look on his face.
After finally achieving Siri's intelligence breakthrough, they were able to feel proud and proud. I wanted to take advantage of this period to build momentum for S3, and maybe get S3 bigger orders, but I was slapped hard by the Marching Ant Company.
Army Ant has licensed its smart assistant to five mobile phone companies, obviously not wanting them to have an easy time.
In the international market, Army Ant's mobile phone business is very small and almost negligible. It originally did not pose a threat to Apple. But he didn't expect that Army Ant Company would actually license such an important technology as the smart assistant, catching them off guard.
But they had nothing to do with the Army Ant Company.
In recent years, China's mobile phone quality and design are slowly catching up with theirs.
The emergence of Huawei's smart chips and Army Ant systems have gotten rid of the shortcomings in chip technology and operating systems, allowing the two companies to catch up with them.
After the emergence of smart assistants, they have been at a disadvantage in terms of competition. The mobile phone sales last year and the first half of this year are the best evidence.
Apple's market share continues to shrink. Because Android phones can use smart assistants to make the phone experience better
I thought that Siri's intelligent upgrade could win back the victory.
As a result, Army Ant authorized multilingual intelligent assistants to five major companies, which is really terrible. Next, in the mobile phone business in the international market, Chinese companies, especially China Micro, will be their biggest competitors.
"Notify the production department to increase production and pre-sale orders will be shipped the day after tomorrow," Cook said. Now we can only use the time when new machines from several companies have not appeared to make more money to avoid the impact on other companies when new machines appear.
"Okay." The assistant responded and left the office with the documents.
After the assistant left, Cook knocked on the table and thought about the next countermeasures. And he was not the only one who was troubled by this matter.
