(Thanks and rewards for the "just so true" helm master!)

[Swipe gently to mark an era, the era of mobile Internet! ] "Technology Express"
[The development of technology exceeds people's perception of the times. On September 27, 2006, the company's first-generation smartphone, Azure-X, was announced. It was tantamount to dropping a blockbuster! ] "Daily Mail"
[Sexy tech! But the most incredible thing is that the birthplace of this mobile device is not Silicon Valley, this is the only place where it is not perfect! ]--"New York Times"
[This is a Chinese electronic product? Are you kidding me? ] "AFP"
[Look at the iPod five years ago, that monochrome interface, that clunky roulette, looks like something a caveman would use. Now imagine that the future of Azure-X may be greatly improved, you will have a super phone in a few years, and it will be cheaper, if you are not ready to see the difference, look farther! ]-"Silicon Valley Magazine"
After the product launch, some people in the tech industry and journalists made various comments on the first product of the Cote d'Azur company. Most users focused on the screen size and focused on Azure-X can do what other smartphones on the market can't.
There are some visionary points in these hot reviews, they are keenly aware of the true meaning of Azure-X.
...
Cote d'Azur, senior management meeting.
Luo Sheng gathered with Feng Yi, Yao Jianhong and others. Yesterday's press conference was successfully concluded, and all the staff members were relieved.
Fortunately, the preparations were extremely sufficient. There were no accidents during the press conference. The whole process ended smoothly.
"The response from the media is pretty good. News from all over the world is reporting on yesterday ’s press conference. I went to see the reports and comments from foreign media. Generally speaking, the reports were positive, but more comments were expressed astonishment. , Of course, there is no lack of sourness, to be honest, especially the comments of Western media, it looks dark. "Yao Jianhong said with a smile.
Everyone smiled with consternation, and everyone was secretly watching foreign media reports.
"It's no surprise that Europeans and Americans are definitely not thinking about this high-tech product. It is actually a product launched by a Chinese technology company, and we are pure novices? I guess they are difficult to accept." .
The people attending the meeting are also happy, and the company is now in an excited state. More than 7,000 engineers have been fighting for three and a half years, and now they have finally launched a revolutionary product. Everyone involved is excited. This product is proud of its own code.
After a while, Luo Sheng looked around and said, "How is the voice of the industry? Nokia, Motorola, Microsoft? I really care about their comments."
Qin Weimu shook his head and said: "I haven't seen relevant people from these international manufacturers commenting for the time being. They have remained silent so far."
In fact, these international manufacturers are very calm and do not feel like the enemy.
The products of the Cote d'Azur companies have really made them feel amazing, but they still think that plastic keyboards are the future, and touch screen phones will not become the mainstream in the industry.
Their highest evaluation is that this product of the French Riviera is at best like the non-mainstream products that applaud and not applaud like Apple, gather a small number of fans and lose the mass consumers.
The trajectories of events always have amazing similarities. When Luo Sheng's last generation and Qiao helped the owner launch the first truly touch-screen smartphone, those international manufacturers did not realize that the subversive change node had arrived.
And this also makes Nokia, Motorola embark on the road of decline.
Luo Sheng nodded, and immediately looked at Yao Jianhong, saying, "The priority task at the moment is publicity. If the publicity cost of 180 million US dollars is not enough, we will allocate funds, focusing on Europe, as for the North American market ... step by step, and finally in the strategy In this market, our focus is now on Europe. The domestic market does not need to be considered in a short period of time, and the sales volume will not be too large. Therefore, the European market is currently the top priority. "
Yao Jianhong nodded and said, "I understand."
In terms of marketing and promotion, Luo Sheng didn't save any money and immediately added: "What about offline stores? In this way, we will send a batch of prototypes to each offline store as soon as possible, open up in advance to meet consumers, and let them come offline Shop first step for free. "
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. This was no longer in the sequence of making plans. The boss really never played cards according to the routine.
Yao Jianhong said quickly: "General Manager Luo, the prototype products are not rich enough, will this ..."
Feng Yi also nodded again and again and said, "Yes, boss, Bluestar Technology's" Family Bucket "is currently in beta, and it will be a month before the official version is launched."
The product has not yet reached the consumer at the perfect time. Should it blow the word of mouth, isn't it the rhythm of the explosion in place?
Feng Yi and others heard Luo Sheng's decision to say that he was not panic. It was false. For this product, the Cote d'Azur company has not only paid the sweat of more than 7,000 engineers in the past three years, it is only fair. The investment is more than 17 billion yuan.
Although the press conference was very successful, the response of the news media is not bad now, and it has earned enough attention all over the world, but in fact everyone's heart is still hanging on a stone.
Although the product is excellent, but the ultimate success depends on the sales volume. This is a matter of life and death of the company. Now it ’s applauding and we do n’t know if it ’s good or bad. If it ’s good or not, the company may go bankrupt overnight. Now it has more than 10 billion liabilities.
Although Luo Sheng is at the bottom of his pocket, in the continuous struggle of more than 1,000 days and nights, many people have already had feelings for the Cote d'Azur company and absolutely do not want to die before he can succeed.
Luo Sheng disagreed, saying confidently: "Just do this, believe me, don't you have confidence in Azure-X?"
Everyone shook his head.
Seeing this situation, Luo Sheng said, "If you don't have confidence, just think about it. Imagine that if users are still satisfied after the offline experience, it will definitely be a bigger surprise when it is officially launched. The comments from the tech industry and the news media are in In my eyes, they are worthless. Like the film critics, they do not represent the audience ’s preferences. The reason is the same. They also do not represent the preferences of consumers. We should pay more attention to the reputation of consumers. What we have to do is also to cultivate Consumer word of mouth. "
Everyone looked at each other, Luo Sheng's words always had a magical power, and his unparalleled confidence was slowly infecting everyone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Besides, what if it failed? It's a big deal to re-open quickly, and the technology deposit will not be wiped out because of the failure of the product. Even if one or two billion dollars are lost, I can still afford it. Luo Sheng said finally.
Everyone: "..."
This remark really numb the scalp of everyone's show, the key is the inability to refute, even if it really failed, and Luo Sheng's full pocket, compared to his current value is only a loss of more than 8% of wealth.
This matter was settled in Luo Sheng's decisive decision-making board without giving any chance for refutation.
After the meeting, Yao Jianhong began to arrange. In the afternoon, a batch of prototypes began to be sent to major offline stores, and overseas markets also shipped directly to Europe by air on the same day.
On September 30th, the direct-operated stores of the azure coast companies in major markets were opened ahead of time, and consumers were free to enter the store.
