Chapter 1105 Kunlun, redefining mobile phones
March 7, 2007.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Beijing Future Science City, Hongmeng Art Center.
The venue was crowded with people, and the entire venue was filled with flags and accessories bearing the Kunlun Technology logo.
Every guest entering the venue can go to the sign-in desk to receive a gift, then carry the gift bag through the security check and enter the venue.
The long queue was enough to show how popular the press conference was.
Standing in front of the huge transparent glass window on the second floor, Xu Liang looked down at the lively scene below and felt very satisfied.
The audience and guests attending the press conference include not only major domestic technology media, but also many Internet celebrities from Penguin, Facebook, and YouTube platforms, as well as students from nearby Beijing and Shuimu University. The audience can be described as Very precise.
Kunlun K1 Mobile Phone issued a total of 3,000 tickets for the press conference this time. He took a few glances and found that the number of people who came to the scene should not be much lower than this number.
The estimated 3,000 viewers, after attending the press conference, should be able to pass on the epoch-making functions of the Kunlun mobile phone to 30,000 or 300,000 people...
Until the little-known Kunlun mobile phone The name is resounding all over the world!
But that will be in the future. Now he has to take the first step, that is, hold this press conference.
"Xu, seeing the lively atmosphere at the scene, I know that the press conference is already half successful."
Gates walked towards Xu Liang with a smile. The old man was still the same as ever. Changed clothes. A light blue shirt is paired with a round-neck light gray sweatshirt. The colors of the two pieces of clothing are very light, which makes the upper body look particularly clean, and therefore looks particularly younger.
This is the public image carefully created by the stylist for Gates. Gates also bought many pieces of the same clothes. Therefore, the outside world feels that Gates has not changed clothes for ten thousand years. In fact, it is strengthening the public's memory of Gates.
“Thank you for the award. It’s still early to talk about success. I feel very uneasy now. This is the first time I have spoken in front of so many people.”
In order to build momentum for Kunlun mobile phone, Xu Liang launched My own connections invited this old guy all the way from the United States to China.
Gates laughed and then raised the black mobile phone in his hand.
“This phone is very good, can you give it to me?”
"Of course."
Xu Liang asked Gates to come out and improve his status without spending any money. It was nothing to give Gates a mobile phone. They had already made hundreds of similar mobile phones, which were far more expensive than several Rich months ago.
“Thank you, Xu. I really love this phone.”
Gates stroked the smooth, mirror-like screen of the phone.
“Full touch screen, multi-touch, gravity sensing... This is really a work of art.”
Then he looked at Xu Liang, "The operating system this phone is equipped with is called Android, right?"
Xu Liang smiled and nodded.
“If Microsoft also plans to make smartphones, you can also use Android software.”
“Are you willing?”
“Android’s goal is to become a global application The most widely used mobile operating system. Kunlun is only its first user, but not the only one." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"How do you plan to charge?"
Xu Liang smiled lightly and said slowly.
“Free.”
“Free?”
“Yes, any mobile phone company can use the Android operating system for free.”
Old Gates' eyes flickered. As an old capitalist, he understood better than anyone else that nothing in this world is truly free.
Many things that seem free are often more expensive.
"Xu, investment needs to be rewarded. Where is Hongmeng's return?"
"We will charge based on the download volume and revenue of the App software on the Android platform."
Xu Liang didn’t hide anything.
The Android operating system has been successfully developed, the promotion strategy has been set long ago, and publicity has begun. There is no need to hide it.
Old Gates’ eyes lit up.
“A genius strategy.”
Android software is free, so most mobile phone companies will use it.
Let the APP charge fees, they don’t cost money anyway.
In this way, Android can easily become the largest mobile operating system in the world.
If other APPs want to be developed, they must use the Android platform.
Then Android can monitor the download volume and revenue in real time and collect the ‘Android fee’.
Looking at the old guy's appearance, Xu Liang knew that he was probably thinking of plagiarism.
Microsoft is the world's largest computer operating system company.
It also has a mobile operating system business.
I just don’t pay much attention to it.
With this old guy’s keen business sense, he probably understood his prospects as soon as he saw the smartphone.
I have the intention to imitate.
But Xu Liang is not worried, a qualified smartphone operating system is not that easy to make.
In the case of acquiring Android, Hongmeng spent nearly 2 billion US dollars and took four years to finally make it.
Even if Microsoft has a certain foundation, it will take two years to develop the same software.
At that time Android had already dominated the world.
“Xu, I have always heard you talk about the Internet 2.0 era before. Although I agree with it, I always thought it would take more than ten or twenty years to realize it. Now it seems that you are right.
We One foot has stepped into its threshold.”
Old Gates' eyes showed appreciation.
If you want to become a top technology company entrepreneur, in addition to firm confidence, you must also have a forward-looking vision that is far beyond ordinary people.
In the 1990s, he predicted the arrival of the smart home era and created Taohuayuan 2.0 according to his own ideas.
Xu Liang also predicted the mobile Internet era and built this era-changing smartphone according to his own ideas.
“Bill, this is just the beginning.”
"Haha, yes, everything has just begun."
Seeing Lei Jun waving to him, Xu Liang made a gesture to Gates, indicating that he was leaving for a while.
Gates nodded, "Don't worry about me, you go and do your work."
Lei Jun pulled Xu Liang to a small room, took out two identical black mobile phones, and then He said with a solemn expression:
“Mr. br>
Xu Liang was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
Lei Jun had a trace of shame on his face.
“This is our first press conference. I am just worried about the unstable performance of the mobile phone and any accidents. After all, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the stability of the mobile phone.”
“ I understand, you have done a good enough job, don’t worry too much.”
Xu Liang smiled at Lei Jun, with a hint of affirmation and encouragement in his smile.
In fact, the mobile phone development team has indeed done a good enough job.
The reason why the performance of mobile phones is not stable is more due to the background of the times. Many technologies have not been fully understood, including some problems in the supply chain.
Lei Jun left his busy work, and Xu Liang sat alone in the small room to relax.
After a while, Li Jinling knocked on the door and walked into the room, saying softly:
"Mr. Xu, it's time to go on stage."
In order to maximize the impact of this new product launch, Xu Liang not only personally invited the elder Gates, but also hosted it in person instead of Lei Jun.
Xu Liang stood up, straightened his hoodie with the Kunlun Mobile logo on it, and strode outside.
Through a dimly lit alley, light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then Xu Liang saw the crowd sitting under the stage. They were densely packed and dark, filled with heads.
The staff fastened the headset to Xu Liang and checked it carefully. After confirming that he was ready, Xu Liang took a deep breath, held two mobile phones in his hands, and walked onto the stage with firm steps.
The stage for the speech was very wide, and there was a large projection screen on the wall. The logo of Kunlun Mobile was displayed on it. The lights were dim, as if something was covered by the curtain.
On the other side of the smaller projection screen, Xu Liang's figure appeared walking around.
There was a podium standing on the side of the stage. Xu Liang walked to the podium unhurriedly, put down the two mobile phones, then picked up a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed it. Take a sip.
After getting the momentum in place, Xu Liangcai quickly walked to the center of the stage. Facing the 3,000 audience members, he slowly said: "I said before that the Internet has three eras.
1.0, the era of portals.
2.0, the era of mobile Internet.
3.0, the era of AI.
Many world-renowned scholars, as well as business elites including Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, have ridiculed and ridiculed me..."
Ellison, who is watching the live broadcast on YouTube, listen He dissed himself in front of so many people and broke his phone in anger
"Now I will use practical actions to prove their stupidity and short-sightedness."
Xu Liang made no secret of his unruliness.
When facing the TV media and the public, his speaking and acting style are sharp.
Young man, why don’t you call yourself a young man if you’re not arrogant?
Xu Liang turned sideways and pointed the PPT controller at the large screen behind him.
"Kunlun mobile phone is a product that condenses the hard work of thousands of engineers for one year and three months."
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
The 300 members of the atmosphere team are particularly hard-working. After all, those who are paid must have professional ethics.
The atmosphere at the scene became heated immediately.
After the scene calmed down, Xu Liang continued with a smile:
"I will show you a few sets of photos now so that you can evaluate the Kunlun mobile phone later."
After saying that, Xu Liang pressed the controller, and a photo appeared on the screen.
“Mobile phones for making calls, MP3 and MP4 players, handheld game consoles, computers for surfing the Internet...
With so many electronic products, what will happen if we integrate them into one?”
Then, Xu Liang clicked on the PPT, and a new picture appeared. It was a four-dimensional product with the characteristics of various electronic products.
Seeing this prank, the audience cheered and whistled again.
“Now let’s take a look at some smartphones on the market. In addition to call functions, they are generally equipped with email functions and some Internet functions that are more troublesome to operate. They are also equipped with a plastic keypad. ”
Xu Liang showed off several representative models of mobile phones from friend manufacturers, and then a new picture appeared with all the keyboards cut off.
“If the keyboard is removed and only a large-screen mobile phone is left, how should we control it?”
“Simple, the computer has actually pointed out the way for us, click with the mouse Click each icon to enter the application you want to enter. ”
"How about we equip the mobile phone with a mouse?
Put it in your pocket at ordinary times. When you want to use it, take it out and connect it to the mobile phone."
There was laughter in the audience.
“Oh, many people may say that a company has already thought of inventing a stylus, but what if the pen is accidentally lost? Then it’s over, half of the phone’s functions are useless.”
Hearing this, everyone in the audience became more and more curious about the Kunlun mobile phone, and they vaguely guessed something, but they were not sure yet.
At this time, the big screen on the stage suddenly flashed, and the true face of the Kunlun mobile phone appeared. It was a large-screen mobile phone without a keyboard and only had a round button in the bottom center.
Seeing the true face of Lushan, some people exclaimed that it was really what they thought, completely abandoning the traditional keyboard. This design is really bold.
Some people are confused, there is no keyboard, how to operate it?
“We didn’t prepare a stylus because it’s too easy to lose. We prepared this thing that won’t be lost.”
Xu Liang raised his hands, and a kindergarten kid came "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle" gesture.
"Using our ten fingers instead of a mouse and a stylus to control the phone.
Our phone will fall off, but our fingers will not. This is the safest and most convenient mouse in the world. Stylus.
We named this technology multi-touch and have applied for the corresponding patent.”
The atmosphere team in the audience applauded and cheered hard, and the others were unknown. The truth-seeking crowd also cheered.
At this time, someone took out their mobile phone and secretly started editing text messages, while someone else made a call directly.
Xu Liang continued: "We have made many breakthroughs in terms of hardware, but we are not idle in terms of software.
The Kunlun mobile phone is an epoch-making product that combines software and hardware to redefine mobile phones. , let’s take a look at our operating system...”
Xu Liang posted a few sets of pictures and introduced Android in detail.
Then he looked at the audience and smiled:
"I believe many people here can't wait to see how to use this phone. But please be patient, I Finally, let’s introduce its appearance. ”
3.5-inch screen, 160ppi resolution, 12.12mm thickness, 2-megapixel camera, home button that can return to the homepage at any time with one click, volume button, power button, headphone jack...
Xu Liang shows off all the appearances After introducing it once, he quickly walked to the demonstration stage, took another gulp of mineral water, and began to connect his mobile phone to the screen projection cable.
A mobile phone interface immediately appeared on the big screen. The background was a picture of the Great Wall, majestic and majestic.
At the bottom of the screen, there is an unlock bar with an arrow.
“Attention, don’t be distracted, this is the moment to witness the miracle.”
Along with Xu Liang's voice, the mobile phone page suddenly flashed on the big screen. The Great Wall picture disappeared, replaced by a main interface with several rows of neatly arranged applications.
There was an uproar in the audience. Many people had their mouths wide open and they didn’t even see clearly. They didn’t know why the page suddenly jumped.
Xu Liang smiled and turned on the camera on the demonstration stage.
At this time, Xu Liang’s fingers appeared on a small screen on the stage, and various small movements on his hands could be clearly seen.
Xu Liang's hand gently moved to the right, and the arrow in the unlock bar quickly slid to the right, and the interface jumped immediately.
Seeing this, people who were originally skeptical and cautious about multi-touch no longer doubted or were cautious. It turns out that fingers can really control the mobile phone screen.
At this time, Xu Liang clicked on a watermelon icon that was cut in half on the main interface.
“Now let’s try the game that comes with the phone and see if it can compete with some handheld consoles.”
Soon, the game started.
On the big screen, a large cartoon watermelon began to fall.
On the small screen, your finger swiped gently.
The watermelon on the big screen is split in half, and you can see the juice flying everywhere. The picture quality is very high-definition!
The mobile games produced by Hongmeng Games are also very exciting.
"Wow..."
Many people in the audience have mouths so big that they can swallow an egg. How can they still play games like this?
But the bigger surprise is yet to come.
On the large projection screen, watermelons are falling faster and faster, and even smaller pineapples and apples are joining in the fun.
The screen was filled with fruits, and then the screen was filled with chopped fruits. The juice was splashing everywhere, almost overflowing the screen.
Through the projection of the camera on the console, the audience can clearly see Xu Liang's fingers sliding at a high frequency at a speed that has been single for more than ten years and killed Teacher Kato Takashi in an instant. It is even so fast that it can be seen An afterimage.
What the hell is this a mobile phone? Handheld consoles aren’t that awesome either!
Love it, love it!
The young people in the audience stretched their necks and widened their eyes, watching the superb hand speed and listening to the sweet sound of the fruit being cut...
For a moment, The whole audience fell silent, silently watching Xu Liang play the game with envy.
“I’m exhausted. The game is quite fun, but it’s a bit fiddly. If I continue to play, the sparks will be rubbed out.”
Xu Liang finally stopped. action, shaking his hands vigorously while complaining.
The audience burst into laughter, laughing and applauding.
The atmosphere team stood up directly and shouted in unison: "Redefine mobile phones...".
Infected by the emotions at the scene, the melon-eating crowd also stood up, applauded and joined the shouting army.
As far as the current performance is concerned, Kunlun mobile phone is worthy of the name of redefining mobile phones.
In the audience, Gates watched all this silently.
Then he took out the mobile phone given to him by Xu Liang, looked down at it, and then looked up again, his eyes looked meaningful.
