Chapter 506: A blow to the head(1/2)
Li Yuan felt a little ridiculous and a little aggrieved. Looking at this, couldn't you see that domestic brands are good? They made something out of nothing and picked such an inexplicable fault?
However, the reality is difficult to explain. He paused for a few seconds and simply dropped the topic: "How about Shenlu's first-generation smartphone? There is no need for me to brag. Let's do this! Let's look at user feedback. One more thing,
We will open source our Xinran operating system to mobile phone manufacturers around the world. And it will be open source forever."
"boom--!"
There was a lot of exclamation below, and they couldn't care less about the problem just now.
"Mr. Li, are you going to open source it? Can any manufacturer use it?"
"Haha, just a reminder - Shenlu Generation uses Xirang, and the developer of Xirang is Parabola Technology. These are two different companies. The one who decided to open source Xirang is Parabola. Xiaolu Mobile is just a user. Of course
, other users are also welcome.”
Of course Li Yuan will choose open source. To put it bluntly, if it is not open source, it will definitely not be able to compete with the later Apple system and Android system. And the global promotion of Android system is also because of open source.
So these are two companies. That was specially arranged by Li Yuan. It is equivalent to uniting other manufacturers around the world to collectively compete with Apple in the future.
I really can't help it. To be fair, only after using Apple will you understand how awesome their software and hardware integration is! Especially the mobile operating system is quite excellent.
Because of this, the Xirang operating system can never be attributed to a certain mobile phone manufacturer, but can only be attributed to Parabola Technology. Otherwise, who would dare to use it from other manufacturers? Don’t leave a backdoor that was not given to others by then?
As for the fact that these two companies belong to the same boss? That’s relatively easy to explain. Anyway, they have independent boards of directors! It makes sense.
In the original historical line, in the field of mobile phone operating systems, Apple and Android have always been competing for hegemony. Li Yuan's ambition is not big, at least he wants to dominate the world.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just let all domestic brands of mobile phones be commonly used? In this regard, we also avoid a weak point that is a bottleneck in the country.
"Mr. Li, how do you charge for open source?"
“My personal ideal is to allow everyone in the world to enjoy the convenience of high technology.”
Many people have understood it. It is impossible to be free, but the price will not be too high. This is acceptable. The key is open source. It means that as long as you pay, you can use it smoothly, and you are not afraid of any patent barriers at all.
.
"Mr. Li, I found that this mobile phone has many unconventional designs, such as the elimination of mechanical buttons and the use of a full touch screen. What if consumers don't like it and this model of your product fails?"
"At the beginning of the design, we went through very rigorous scientific demonstrations, and the situation you mentioned should not happen. But when it comes to the risk of failure, it is the risk of innovation, and we are willing to bear all of it."
The audience burst into applause again. The new product launch conference is coming to an end:
"Mr. Li, when you enter the mobile phone field this time, do you have the same goal as the Internet? Do you hope to be as successful as Parallel Technology?"
"I personally don't have a goal, I just hope to make every product well. But for companies like Xiaolu Mobile, they definitely have their own ambitions. Haha."
"Then do you want to get the first domestic brand?"
After a pause for a few seconds, Li Yuan suddenly smiled: "Ahem, sometimes the National Games are more competitive than the Olympic Games. The number one domestic brand? This goal is quite difficult! Hahaha!"
"..."
Some people are a little confused about the last sentence. But in this era, there are still many people who can understand it quickly.
"The National Games is more intense than the Olympic Games." The origin of this sentence comes from a certain dream team - the National Table Tennis Team!
Since the national team has a quota limit, each provincial team also has a large number of excellent table tennis players. Many of them are still top-notch players in international competitions. They are not even much worse than the national table tennis players.
Therefore, a very funny situation arises. At the National Games, even if the Olympic champion is not careful, he may be defeated by an unknown person.
And it’s like this in every round, and you have to be careful in every round. Finally, it is recognized in the industry that the National Games champion is more valuable than the Olympic champion!
However, this sentence suddenly appeared? What does that mean?
Could it be that...Li Yuan didn't pay attention to those big overseas international brands at all, but instead believed that domestic brands were about to rise?
So being ranked first among domestic brands means it has the most gold content?
Damn it! I don’t dare to think about it! Even the most optimistic people at this time don’t think that the big country with copycat phones can sweep the world...
…
There were some surprises, but they seemed to be expected.
When the media issued press releases one after another, the advertisements for Shenlu Generation were also played on all TV stations across the country:
"...This is called embracing technology! Welcome to own it! Shenlu Generation!"
Li Yuan’s words are everywhere on TV. Although the advertising content has been greatly reduced, it still shows the powerful functions of smartphones.
Such a bombardment of advertisements has left audiences across the country... baffled!
Because it is too advanced and has exceeded their imagination. Is this a mobile phone advertisement? Isn't it a trailer for a science fiction movie?
It wasn't until Yang Madu broadcast the news about the new product launch in the 30-minute "News Network". Only then did people suddenly realize, oh my god! So this is true?
No! Wait a minute! It seems like this is a domestic mobile phone, right?
In this era, people also have great prejudice against domestic brands. They find it unbelievable. Has China really made such high-tech products?
…
Public opinion from the outside world was constantly fermenting. When Li Yuan returned home, he burst out laughing in front of several children: "Did you see that? Isn't your father awesome?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Dad, you are so awesome, can you play it for me?" Qiqi flattered him, he really wanted to play the game inside.
"Ask your mother, she agrees."
Gu Yuqin rolled her eyes, it seems like all the bad guys are my mother? "No!"
"Did you hear that? Your mother said no."
"Why not?" Qiqi said anxiously, "Dad, didn't you make the phone?"
"But your mother is in charge of everything at home?"
"Mom said, you are the head of the family."
"You, the head of the family, also want your mother to take care of you? Haha."
"Then you can scold her? Mom will listen to you."
Gu Yuqin was so angry that she took Qiqi away: "What nonsense are you talking about? You want to play all day long?"
Huh? This silly boy. How dare he say such a thing in front of their mother?
"Dad!" Yuyujiao called out and climbed onto Li Yuan, "If I don't want to play, I will watch you play."
"Huh?" The girl is still smart and knows how to make a sidestep.
Of course my daughter can’t stand it!
Li Yuan giggled "haha" and took out his Shenlu Generation 1. After opening the game: "Look, dad is going to break a new record this time. Try to break out of Asia and go to the world..."
"Kekeke..."
The father and daughter had a great time. When Gu Yuqin cleaned up the silly boy and went back to the room, he suddenly became furious: "Okay! You two had a great time while I wasn't paying attention?"
Unexpectedly, Yuyu "chirped" and slipped away from Li Yuan, leaning on Gu Yuqin's thigh and acting coquettishly: "Mom, it's not Yuyu, it was dad who was playing just now."
Damn it!
Where is our little cotton-padded jacket?
Li Yuan: Die!
It's a small farce. But in terms of family status, Li Yuan has made a visible improvement. So much bullshit outside is nothing. It's not as good as the admiration and praise of the baby at home.
I just don’t know, do they like the games on their mobile phones? Or their dad?
…
Back to the Shenlu generation.
Under the intensive bombardment of advertisements, Shenlu Generation became famous overnight, and in an instant it was well-known among women and children in China.
Through bundled sales with several major telecom operators, a certain sales volume has also been achieved.
However, in overseas markets, performance appears to be sluggish.
Including around 2020, an important channel for mobile phone sales was still bundled sales by telecom operators. In this era, the importance of this channel has become even more apparent.
Let’s just put it bluntly! In addition to China, consumers have become accustomed to the copycat phone market, including parallel imports from Apple, etc. In other countries, the power of telecom operators is so great that it can almost determine the fate of a mobile phone.
!
For example, books next to each other across the sea!
Everyone should know that their country is a chaebol monopoly, including those telecom operators.
Therefore, in the era of smartphones, there seems to be a joke - there will actually be a large-scale flip phone market in China?
Clamshell phone? In China, isn’t it just an old phone? A backward model that even the fashionable square dancing aunts sneer at? I didn’t expect that notebooks are still using this model?
Including the later self-media, there were many such ridiculing articles.
But have you ever thought about it? Are ordinary people in this country stupid and naive? Don’t they know about advanced technological products, so do they have to use very backward old machines?
In fact, the reason is very simple, it is because of the bundling of telecom operators.
This is because the top executives of their telecom operators are basically old men with stubborn ideas, and their requirements are just this kind of flip phone, without considering the preferences of young consumers at all.
In the end, it led to a very funny situation - there is only this kind of customized machine, and you have to use it even if you don't need it!
