Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 903 Sue Him (4k)

Schmidt took the stage.

The second half of the conference belonged to Google and Android.

Fang Zhuo sat in the first row, feeling the gazes from different directions and meanings, and his face remained normal.

Yu Hong, who was sitting next to him, saw that he had sweat on his forehead, and first handed him her phone with YouTube on, and then handed him two tissues.

Fang Zhuo just wiped his hands and glanced at the real-time comments from different angles in the official live broadcast room.

"So you can sweat on your palms when you are nervous?" Yu Hong laughed.

"This is not sweat from nervousness, this is the afterglow of passion." Fang Zhuo answered calmly.

Yu Hong disagreed: "It feels more like cleaning the tools used in the crime."

She handed over two more tissues: "Wipe more, and it will be clean again after wiping."

Fang Zhuo simply said: "Thank you."

Yu Hong glanced at him: "Your press conference this year is bound to be outrageously impressive. Let's see what you will do for next year's press conference."

Fang Zhuo remained calm and assigned him as the head of Yike: "Next year."

Yu Hong: "..."

Schmidt on the stage gave a passionate speech and plan about the Android system.

However, the conference hall gradually calmed down. Many people were recalling the press conference in the first half, which was like a slap in the face. The media reporters were even more considering how to evaluate and report the industry dark horse's reckless firing.

It was difficult to objectively evaluate this mobile phone press conference at the scene, but everyone, like Yu Hong, could easily make a judgment - whether it was good or bad, at least it was definitely impressive.

A press conference that is impressive enough is 1% product information + 99% criticism and praise of competitors.

As for whether competitors will accept criticism, it is not clear yet.

Schmidt on the stage is getting better and better, and he smoothly introduces the upgrade of the Android system to everyone. Although the number of viewers in the YouTube live broadcast room is decreasing, in fact, the optimization details brought by the latest version of Android, Android Donut, are quite important.

Including but not limited to copy and paste, quick search box, improved virtual keyboard, support for OpenCore2 media engine, optimization of Gmail's processing of emails and other updates.

Thanks to Yi Ke's urging and millions of product feedbacks equipped with the Android system, Android has made a lot of commendable efforts in Fang Zhuo's view.

Schmidt took much longer than Fang Zhuo, and he also looked forward to the future application of the Android system on more devices, not only limited to mobile devices, but also TVs, cars and other products that will become more and more intelligent.

Fang Zhuo nodded frequently, and Mr. Shi was still very far-sighted.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the press conference jointly held by Yi Ke and Google came to an end.

Because of the partners who came from afar, Yike and Google, who are in love with each other, still jointly hosted the dinner and imagined a better future together.

However, Fang Zhuo had an important media interview scheduled, so Yu Hong, the co-founder of Yike, represented him in the first half of the dinner.

This press conference was preceded by the prosecution and sniping of Nokia and other manufacturers. Fang Zhuo picked Nokia, which has the largest market share and the most conservative product design, as the main focus of his complaints. Finally, he also supplemented it with media interviews.

The media for the interview was CBS, and the program was the influential "60 Minutes". It has been broadcast since 1968 and has been broadcast for 40 years. The interviewees are from all over the world and all industries.

As the name suggests, the program is 60 minutes in total, basically consisting of 3 independent news in-depth reports and 1 news comment section.

Fang Zhuo's interview is a news in-depth report, which lasts about 13 minutes.

The famous host of this program, Wallace, retired two years ago. Another famous host, Molly Seifer, attended the Yike press conference in the afternoon and interviewed in the evening.

Fang Zhuo put on makeup before the interview to cover up her beauty before entering the interview room prepared in advance.

Molly is old, but still fighting on the job of CBS.

Fang Zhuo has not watched this program much. He only knows that the group of hosts of "60 Minutes" seem to be not young, and the one who interviewed him visited China in his early years.

Sure enough, Molly really recalled his past 40 years ago before the formal interview.

Fang Zhuo listened to this, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind. How will he recall what he did now in the future? Praise, appreciation, or praise?

The interview officially began, and the camera started working.

The two sat face to face.

"Are you ready to answer some tough questions?" Molly's first sentence was about scale.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "No problem, but I hope we don't have a preconceived position unless you are a loyal fan of Nokia."

Moli admitted, "I am indeed a loyal fan of Nokia."

Fang Zhuo was stunned.

Moli continued, "But I don't have any good feelings about a mobile phone that needs to be assisted by the mouth."

Fang Zhuo laughed and then said, "At that time, I was just indignant from the perspective of a consumer. To be honest, I regret it now."

"Will you regret it? Today's mobile phone launch conference, which is the first to use live broadcast, must be widely circulated, and you chose a very controversial way to criticize competitors. Didn't you plan it?" Moli spoke slowly, but not at all euphemistically, "Wasn't it premeditated?"

Fang Zhuo took out a prepared speech and denied it: "No, today's press conference is different from what was expected. This is the content of my planned speech."

Morley took it but didn't look at it and asked noncommittally: "Are the details different, or did you never think of criticizing Nokia in the first place?"

"No matter when or where, I don't think Nokia can't be criticized, especially at Yike's press conference. If you stand as an industry leader like me, you will also regret that a manufacturer like Nokia will criticize at this time. Only come up with works like this." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "You can think that my criticism is premeditated, and I don't mind others thinking so."

"Aren't you worried that such public criticism will damage the brand image?" Morley asked two points. "It is difficult for me to rank you as an industry leader."

"At present, it seems that the sales volume of Yike mobile phones is the highest among similar products. Smartphones must be the future of mobile phones. You can put me in that position first and see if it can be realized later." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Open Criticism of the occasion is an exchange, and Yiko accepts this exchange as well, if Nokia is willing to do so.”

He continued to answer: "I was just communicating with Nokia. Maybe people will think that it is not appropriate for me to use a stylus with my mouth, but I am just showing a situation. The root cause of this scene is a very poor product." , I am very confused about Nokia’s product strategy, this is a problem it needs to solve in the industry.”

Morley asked about the key points of observation at the afternoon press conference: "You said at the press conference that you think Nokia's Michael Kovrig is losing control of the company? Just because of the emergence of a 5800?"

Fang Zhuo pondered: "Perhaps, we should respect a company's business process and give more understanding. Nokia launched the 5800 in June, but the design time may be March or February. At that time, Yiko Mars We haven’t sold more than 7 million units yet, and the second-generation iPhone hasn’t sold 2 million units in two months.”

"From this perspective, it seems that we should be more understanding."

"But if we are measuring Nokia, Morley, what standards do you think we need to measure an industry leader?"

He took out Mars2 from his pocket, handed it over and said: "What's more, the actual experience of capacitive screen and resistive screen does not need to rely on sales volume to distinguish. Anyone who has used it can simply judge. However, Nokia's 5800 is still The removal of the keyboard confuses me even more.”

"Molly, you need to know the significance of this Nokia phone."

"It was specifically chosen to be released two days ago, with the purpose of competing with Yike with a full touch screen phone. However, the strategy it laid out was completely wrong. This cannot help but make people suspect that there are serious internal problems within Nokia. Problems that need to be corrected.”

Morley then asked: "Do you think Nokia's most serious problem is its competitive strategy? Is it the inability to recognize consumer needs?"

Fang Zhuo thought carefully and then replied: "It has been a year and a half since Apple released the iPhone last year. Mars has sold nearly 8 million units, the iPhone has launched its second generation, LG has sold more than 1 million units, and Samsung is about to launch it." For Android, many manufacturers are launching capacitive screen products.”

He looked at the old host opposite him with bright eyes and said with a smile: "What do you think this means?"

Molly frowned, her thinking unable to keep up with Mr. Shang's accelerated speaking speed.

"This means that the speed of technological change in the industry is accelerating." Fang Zhuo asked and answered, "I think Nokia underestimated the speed of this change, just like Motorola in the past."

Mo Li continued to think along with Mr. Fang's words.

Fang Zhuo slowed down his speech: "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is, and 5800 is Nokia's arrogance."

Morley suddenly asked a question: "So what do you think Nokia can do now to avoid going to the edge of the cliff like you said?"

Fang Zhuo said simply: "It is not too late to abandon Symbian, which is not suitable for the new era, whether it is equipped with Android or self-developed a new system and bet on it with all your strength."

Morley smiled. Symbian is the symbol of Nokia, how could it be abandoned?

He asked: "You don't hesitate to comment on Nokia at your own press conference, and you analyze and give methods like this. Are you not worried that Nokia will really come up with a smart product that can rival Mars?"

Just as Fang Zhuo was about to answer, he noticed Mo Li's gaze and knew that the other party actually knew the answer.

If a word from a competitor can cause a giant company to change course, its governance is too simple.

It has only been two years since Nokia's Kallasvuo took over as CEO. He is facing a large, intricate group with a long history.

This year, Nokia still has nearly 40% of the market. If now it has to listen to its competitors' bad intentions, what else can it do next?

Are we going to introduce an insider as the leader?

Fang Zhuo gave up the idea of ​​a long speech and repeated what he had just said: "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is, and time will witness everything."

Morley smiled. Time will tell whether Nokia is arrogant or not.

The joint press conference between Yike and Google is over.

Such a press conference using a new live broadcast method quickly and unexpectedly caused waves.

I don’t know how many people like it, and I don’t know how many people hate it.

But the picture of Fang Zhuo using his mouth to explain the use of 5800 at the press conference was widely circulated.

The expression of the head of Yike, the astonishment of the head of Deutsche Telekom, the surprise of the guests in the audience, and the innocent Nokia 5800... everything seemed funny.

Soon someone copied this way of use to defend Nokia.

——Who said it can’t be used with one hand? Look, I successfully called my mother with my mouth!

——The correct way to use 5800, my mouth can send text messages!

A group of fun people tried to control the stylus with their mouths, attracting many people to watch the latest product complaints.

In addition, the scientific content of Yike’s press conference itself was also ridiculed. Is this really Yike’s press conference? Is this Nokia’s complaint conference? And what the hell is Jobs who appeared in the air?

Whether it is Facebook or YouTube, a mobile phone press conference has gained a lot of popularity.

The media’s coverage of the press conference is much simpler, and there are headlines everywhere.

——Nokia's worst mobile phone in history was born at the Yike press conference!

——Fang Zhuo: Nokia is facing the most dangerous moment since 1982!

——Surprised, the world's famous rich people actually treat mobile phones like this in public!

——Jobs: Yes, it's a resistive screen, a bunch of idiots from Nokia.

——A Yike mobile phone press conference with almost no Yike mobile phones!

——Fang Zhuo: Call me!

Some media lamented in the report: This rich man from the East turned the press conference into a show, making the guests and the audience watching the live broadcast very happy, except Nokia.

Soon, there was a follow-up from the person involved.

Fang Zhuo reposted a media report on Facebook saying that he was frivolous, and responded: "If one day my wealth exceeds Gates, I can still dance at the press conference."

As for the Yike mobile phone press conference with almost no Yike mobile phones, don't everyone know that Yike has launched the latest Mars2?

In fact, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and other manufacturers still insist on using resistive screens, and Mars2, which continues to use capacitive screens, doesn't need to be said at all. The characteristics of the capacitive screen alone have the greatest differentiated competition.

Fang Zhuo was already very relieved about this. The only thing that might need to be adjusted was the scheduled sales target.

Two days later, Nokia, as if nothing had happened, finally could not hold back its silence and filed a lawsuit against Yike Mobile for patent infringement in Finland.

According to the company's internal analysis... Nokia may not have had such an intention, but it really couldn't stand the ridicule on the Internet, so it used this as a statement: Can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, sue him!

As for whether it will file lawsuits in more countries in the future...

A screenshot of Yike's internal work was circulated on the Internet, and I don't know if it was photoshopped.

- It is forbidden to insult competitors at will.

It is forbidden to insult competitors at will, and competitors will really sue!
