"I made people buy my car on my own merits, why do you say I'm dealing in PY? Slander, pure slander!!!" Seeing the comments on the Internet, Li Zetian widened his eyes and said indignantly, "And those Car companies, what is unfair, how can there be fairness in this world? Do the rich and the poor really have the same rights?”
Outside the house, secretary Selena just came in at this time.
"Mr. Li, according to your instructions, companies under your name will also order Tesla cars one after another, as a year-end reward for outstanding employees. I calculated that there will be about 35,000 orders..."
"Well, very good... Oh, yes!!!" Li Zetian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "You will inform Rolls-Royce, BMW, Daimler, Chrysler, Tesla, Bosch, Google, The CEOs of Microsoft, Apple, and Cronos Industries will have a remote video conference next year at exactly 10:00 a.m. New York time!"
"Yes!" Selena responded.
Li Zetian nodded, and couldn't help but feel excited by the idea of his sudden inspiration just now.
Li Zetian knows that although there are many users who order Tesla cars, he still understands how much water is in them. Tesla Roadster is a luxury sports car, and the price of $100,000 is actually a very expensive price. Generally speaking, the average price of the car is only a few thousand dollars. In two days, Tesla Roadster can pre-sell more than 20,000, which is simply impossible. It is inevitable that some people will ridicule Li Zetian for brushing orders and wait to see Li Zetian's jokes.
Japan's Toyota Motor Company even publicly satirized that Li Zetian would be a check-waving upstart and a clown. He must have encountered Waterloo in the auto industry, but Li Zetian refused to accept it. He wanted to prove to the world that I am here and I will conquer!
Li Zetian suddenly discovered that in terms of car-making technology alone, he may not be able to surpass Toyota Motor Corporation and other auto companies by much, and his own advantages should be artificial intelligence, operating systems and the Internet...
Unmanned vehicles will not be built for a while, and they will not be able to be applied on a large scale, but what about smart cars
A car equipped with the world's top artificial intelligence operating system, is it a cow
The next day, a remote video conference was held.
After everyone said hello, listen to Li Zetian's speech.
Li Zetian said on the theme of the live broadcast: "Today I gathered everyone to say one thing and make cars more intelligent! In the past, words such as comfort, cheapness, low consumption, safety and so on were the main propaganda slogans of automobiles, but in the future , we will also vigorously promote artificial intelligence and make artificial intelligence vehicles the core competitiveness of our enterprise!!!”
"The era of automobile revolution has come, and intelligent cars will be the main development direction in the future. What we sell is not cars, but experiences, trends, and technology!!"
"Equipped each car with an operating system and an artificial intelligence assistant, collects the user's driving habits, masters every piece of his data, and makes the user inseparable from our artificial intelligence assistant!"
“In fact, we have already provided users with artificial intelligence assistants! Users using Microsoft operating systems have Microsoft Cortana, users using Apple products have Siri, and the Internet habits of these users are collected in our database. Our AI assistants know them best, and are naturally the 'people' who take care of them the most!"
"We have the largest and richest ecosystem in the world, such as operating systems, artificial intelligence assistants, various software, entertainment content, PCs, mobile phones, cars, and smart home appliances, which no other car company can do. !!! I believe that the cooperation between automobile companies and Internet technology companies will definitely achieve a win-win situation!!!”
After Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone was overjoyed.
Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to cooperate fiercely.
The meeting went on for a long time, and before I knew it, a morning passed. This will be the first in-depth and comprehensive cooperation between a car company and an Internet technology company to build cars with Internet thinking and provide consumers with the best user experience!
Of course, Li Zetian is only responsible for the strategic policy, and the specific work is left to their own cooperation.
Just after the meeting, secretary Vanessa walked over to Li Zetian and said softly, "Mr. Li, Samsung Android phones are definitely going to be officially released on March 30!"
Li Zetian nodded and asked as he walked, "Where's the Xiaomi phone?"
"April 16!" Vanessa replied, "However, the promotional video has already started to be broadcast online, and the response has been good so far, and many Chinese netizens have expressed great expectations."
"What about Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers?" Li Zetian asked again.
"Nokia's new mobile phone has also been developed, and it will be officially released on March 30!"
"Haha, this is going to be against us!" Li Zetian smiled and pouted, "Okay, keep watching."
"Yes!"
…
Li Zetian has been busy building cars recently, but he has paid less attention to smartphones.
But fortunately, the car-building thing has come to an end, and Li Zetian can relax for a while.
Li Zetian opened the website and browsed the website on Nokia's official website. He had a general understanding of the main direction of Nokia's new mobile phone, and it turned out to be the main focus of high-end mobile phones!
Well, presumably seeing the price of the iPhone sell so high, making a big profit. At the same time, it also means competing with the iPhone.
However, this new Nokia mobile phone makes Li Zetian a little speechless. It uses a 3.5-inch resistive touch screen and supports multi-touch, but at the same time adopts a side-slip design and has a full QWERTY keyboard, which is the commonly used computer keyboard layout. Slightly large.
In addition, this phone has a high configuration, using a Zeiss-certified 5-megapixel camera, supporting autofocus, equipped with dual LED flash, built-in OMAP 3430 processor, running 1GB of virtual memory, and operating at 600MHz . Pre-stored 32GB memory space, support GPS global positioning system, support Wi-Fi, and Flash 9.4, VoIP, 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, TV-out interface, stereo Bluetooth, microUSB connection and other functions are also basically available.
That's right, this is a full-fledged high-end business smartphone, and in fact the highest-spec phone Nokia has ever produced. Although the official website did not announce the price, but according to Li Zetian's speculation, this phone will cost at least $800.
Soon, March 30 arrived, the first Samsung Android phone, named Samsung Galaxy S1. Samsung Electronics had previously sent Li Zetian the design drawing of the Samsung Galaxy S1. Li Zetian slightly modified it, in fact, it was designed according to the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S1, and then sent it back. Therefore, Samsung's first Android mobile phone is almost the same as the previous Samsung Galaxy S1. Because it is mainly low-end, the configuration is not as high as that of the iPhone1, but it is enough to support the normal operation of the software and ensure that the phone is not stuck. This is very important.
When many mobile phone manufacturers first made Android mobile phones, after users installed several applications on their mobile phones, they were immediately stuck. A powerful processor and software optimization capabilities can ensure that the mobile phone does not get stuck and can make the mobile phone stand out.
Since Samsung's new mobile phone conference and Nokia's new mobile phone conference were held at the same time, Li Zetian had to make a choice. Because he knows more about Samsung mobile phones and thinks it should be successful, he pays more attention to competitors.
The Nokia press conference was held very grandly. Major mobile phone manufacturers, spare parts suppliers, software developers, investors, cooperative media and fans all attended the press conference.
The chairman of Nokia was well-dressed, with a black suit, black leather shoes, and shiny hair. When he walked to the stage, his face was full of confidence.
He greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Nokia product launch conference! Today, you will see the best mobile phone in the world!!!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was thunderous applause.
"Nima, how can you be so shameless?" Li Zetian sneered, "How dare you say that it is the best mobile phone in the world, where is the iPhone?"
The chairman of Nokia smiled slightly and pressed his hands, indicating that everyone can stop applauding, and then continued: "This mobile phone is a new series of mobile phones launched by Nokia, called Nokia S1, please take a look," pointing to the LCD screen behind him. The screen, said, "The entire body of this mobile phone is made of safe black, the panel is surrounded by metallic luster, and the screen size is 3.5 inches. But it seems that the first impression should be more than 3.5 inches. People's sense of visual coordination is very good! This mobile phone is a full touch screen model, but it is also equipped with a full keyboard with side sliding!"
Speaking of this, the chairman of Nokia paused for a while, the corners of his mouth rose, and he couldn't help showing a smile. He was proud of the design of the full touch screen and the full keyboard with sliding sideways!
He smiled and said: "Nokia S1 is not only a mobile phone, but also more like a notebook computer. Whether it is a user who likes touch or a user who likes buttons, the Nokia S1 can satisfy!"
"When it comes to the interface of Nokia S1, it is not only gorgeous, but also has a high degree of freedom, which will definitely give people a new experience..."
The chairman of Nokia promotes strengths and avoids weaknesses, and talks with Kai Kai, which is very provocative, and many people can't help but like this Nokia S1.
People watching the live broadcast on the Internet have liked and commented to express their support.
"The Nokia S1 is uniquely designed, powerful, and worth getting!"
"A very cool phone!"
"Side-sliding is cool!"
"I've been using Nokia, I believe in the Nokia brand!"
"… "
However, when the press conference was about to end, when everyone heard the price of the Nokia S1, they immediately retreated.
"$899? Wow, this Nima is the same price as the 8GB version of the iPhone 1! I was thinking of buying a Nokia S1, but looking at the price, I might as well buy the iPhone 1."
"In terms of appearance, the iPhone 1 wins; in terms of performance, the iPhone 1 is not worse than the Nokia S1. The point is, I can still pretend to buy the iPhone 1. But how can I pretend to buy the Nokia S1!"
"Don't buy Nokia S1. Although this phone can access the Internet, there are very few third-party software that supports this phone. There are no Facebook, Weibo, QQ, WeChat, Flamingo games..."
…
After the press conference, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Nokia S1 was sold online and offline at the same time.
Nokia has opened flagship stores on Amazon, eBay, and Taobao. Li Zetian is not in a dilemma, otherwise he will appear too stingy.
After all, Nokia is the second giant in the mobile phone industry and has many fans.
From 9 p.m. to early morning, 350,000 Nokia S1s were sold on Amazon, eBay, and Taobao alone. As for how many other places were sold, Li Zetian did not know.
However, Nokia has learned from Apple and customized many contract machines. I heard that there are long queues outside the doors of many telecom business halls.
Li Zetian just put down the phone when Yu Jingqiu leaned behind him and said softly, "Nokia S1 is on fire?"
"It seems that there is a fire, and 450,000 Nokia S1s were sold online." Li Zetian shrugged and said indifferently.
"Where's the Samsung phone?"
"The offline data has not been counted, but the online data should be counted... The Samsung Galaxy S1 sold a total of 950,000 online from 9 o'clock in the evening to the early morning!"
"So many!!!" Yu Jingqiu opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise.
Li Zetian smiled and said, "There is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die!"
Yu Jingqiu shook her head and did not understand.
Li Zetian explained: "In the mobile phone industry, in terms of reputation, there is no doubt that Nokia mobile phones are more famous than Samsung mobile phones. However, when Samsung announced that it would hold a product launch event and officially sell it on March 30, Nokia's mobile phone was much more famous. The company also made the same decision. Nokia was trying to crush Samsung and crush the Android alliance. But the result was unexpected."
"I won't say anything about Samsung's mobile phone and Android, but it has made each other a success. You know, the two companies are so competitive, how can they not attract media coverage? Recently, Samsung Galaxy S1 has a very high exposure rate, and every report on Nokia When it comes to S1, it must be the Galaxy S1. In addition, on the homepage of Amazon, eBay and Taobao, the two touch-screen smartphones are specially advertised at the same time for PK.”
"The price of the Nokia Galaxy S1 is $899, and the price of the Samsung Galaxy S1 is $499. Come on, there are more people willing to pay for the Samsung Galaxy S1."
"Okay, don't worry about it, it's so late, let's go to bed..." Li Zetian said to Jingqiu.
"Um."
Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu and got into the quilt.
The bed in the bedroom was still on, but suddenly there was a sound, and the wait in the bedroom went out.
"Eve, turn off the lights!"
…
…
By noon the next day, the Nokia S1 exposed a lot of problems.
There is no commonly used social software.
If the software is installed too much, the phone will get hot, and then it will start to freeze.
Poor battery life.
The touch buttons are slow to respond, and the accuracy is not high.
…
"Next door to Mala, what's the use of my phone!!! I don't even have Facebook, how can I use my phone to play with others?"
"What about mobile games? I want to play "Happy Farm", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Crazy Birds"... Nima, I don't even have "Chinese Cube" or "Snake", tell me, you have what!!!"
"Return! There are only so many softwares on the phone, and I have never heard of it! I want to return it!"
"Nokia is really a pit! Isn't today's smart phone just able to play games, browse websites, swipe Facebook, Weibo, WeChat, watch YouTube, Netflix video sites? But, the Nokia S1 has everything No, make a yarn!"
"Nokia's new mobile phone S1 giant pit, everyone must not jump!"
"… "
On Weibo, the reputation of Nokia S1 dropped sharply. Except for a few iron fans, almost all the users who bought it were scolding mothers.
Major media around the world have also reported.
For a time, the Nokia S1 was seriously slow to sell.
The number of consumers who return to the store is even more numerous.
Nokia said that it is communicating with Internet giants and will solve the problem of less software as soon as possible.
But the eyes of the masses are sharp.
"Communication wool! Communication! It's been made clear that they don't develop software for the Saipan system!"
"As a developer, to be honest, I prefer to develop software for Android and iOS, because the software development of the Symbian system is difficult and the development cycle is too long. In addition, Android is supported by two bigwigs, Google and Microsoft. , isn't it obvious who to support and who not to support? No matter how good Nokia is, is it better than Google and Microsoft?"
…
With the intensified return of Nokia S1 and the big sale of Samsung Galaxy S1, members of the Saipan Alliance have changed their flags and switched to Android. In less than a week, the chairman of Nokia fainted...
When Li Zetian heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked, but don't die...
The reason why the reputation of the Nokia S1 plummeted so quickly is that Li Zetian helped fuel the flames. If the chairman of Nokia was pissed off, Li Zetian would feel uncomfortable, and he would lose his appetite for food for at least a week, no, maybe it would be two weeks... This is too painful for Li Zetian, who is a foodie.
