Chapter 1374 Tribute (4k)
Yike’s press conference has not ended yet, but shocking news about this year’s flagship mobile phone products are already flying around.
Flagship-level features, hardware that surpasses flagships, and amazing progress in baseband chips... There is no doubt that Yike Mars will dominate the upcoming smartphone market.
Samsung, Apple, and Yike are known as the "Big Three", which is a proof that they have consolidated the high-end mobile phone market. These three companies have always been similar and each has its own user camp.
But now, the flagship mobile phone launched by Yike has a chip performance that is a generation higher, which has simply knocked Apple and Samsung down to a lower dimension out of thin air.
Are you still a high-end machine?
Oh, still.
That Yi Ke is the high school computer science.
"Since 2007, the evolution of Yike's mobile phone products is the development history of smart phones, including smart phone systems, front cameras, elimination of physical buttons, 3G communications, glass cover, CMOS sensors, fingerprint recognition, self-designed processors, 4G communications, and face recognition..."
"From ingenious ideas to core crushing, from the dark horse of the industry to the high-end hegemony, Yike has integrated the progress of software and hardware to bring perfect mobile phone products to consumers around the world."
On Weibo, this time the flagship from Yike also received a lot of certification from official media.
The Yike press conference is still going on, but Fang Zhuo did not host the launch of the next product. Instead, Liu Qiangdong, president of Yike Huaxia, took the stage to introduce this year's generation of Selfy mobile phones, smart watches, Galaxy tablets, Yike notebooks and multiple smart home ecological cooperation products.
This autumn's launch event is the one with the most products ever released.
However, compared with the crushing performance of the Mars series, although these products have their own innovations, their influence and impact are far less than that of the flagship products.
Some of the audience were still concentrating on listening to the new product, some media reporters were quickly editing and reporting content, and others were absent-mindedly considering the changes that Yike had brought this time.
Fang Zhuo sat in the first row, occasionally communicating in a low voice with Professor Hu, Dr. Liang and others beside him, but he was mainly listening carefully to Dongzi's introduction.
There was a constant buzz of discussion in my ears, and flash lights were lighting up from time to time behind me. Dongzi on the stage seemed a little nervous and occasionally stuttered when speaking, but it did not affect the overall situation. The phone in my pocket was vibrating frequently, with nothing but congratulations and greetings.
Fang Zhuo gradually became distracted, and after a few rounds of applause rang out and then died down, his eyes suddenly came into focus.
The two-hour Yike autumn press conference is over.
"Do you want to be interviewed?" Fang Zhuo did not stand up immediately, but asked Professor Hu, Dr. Liang and Mr. Qiu about their willingness.
The three of them all shook their heads. This was agreed upon before they came.
In fact, Liang Mengsong was not willing to come. He was happily pulled into the car by Hu Zhengming.
"Okay, our celebration party will be later." Fang Zhuo said.
Liang Mengsong spoke more directly: "Let's wait for the yield rate to go up."
Hu Zhengming was in a good mood and added with a smile: "I have confidence."
He touched Qiu Ciyun's arm again: "Mr. Qiu, right?"
Qiu Ciyun also said: "We are confident that we can start the battle to increase the yield rate and protect the production capacity of 16nm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen of the phone in his hand lit up. He looked down at it, his complex expression showing some excitement. He said directly, "It's a call from NVIDIA."
Several people nodded. There was no doubt that NVIDIA called at this time because of Bingxin's 16nm process technology. It could help Yike Mars become the world's first mobile phone product, and naturally it could also help other manufacturers.
Intel has officially announced that its 1nm processor will be launched in Q14 next year, but it does not provide foundry services to the outside world.
Taiji also has a clear plan for its 16nm process. According to current information, large-scale mass production will not begin until April at the earliest.
With a lead time of nearly half a year, manufacturers with demand will naturally consider whether they can get a ride. Moreover, NVIDIA has previously tried to cooperate with Bingxin on mobile processors.
"It's noisy here, I've got to go do something first." Qiu Ciyu said this, and after hanging up the phone, he just said "hello" and "hello" to the other party.
"Mr. Fang, you go ahead and do your work. The reporters behind are getting restless, and it's scary to watch them." Hu Zhengming looked back at the media reporters approaching from the aisle.
Fang Zhuo nodded. There was no need to say more on this occasion.
He moved his feet, and when the reporters behind him saw Mr. Fang move, they squeezed forward, and this squeeze brought more reporters forward.
As the most high-profile and anticipated mobile phone launch event this year, the YiKe Center gathered many reporters from all over the world. One reporter hesitated and lost sight of the head of YiKe, so he quickly spoke in French to direct his colleagues in front.
"Don't let Mr. Fang go, the guy in the shirt in the first row!"
The French reporter was pushed from the aisle to his seat just after he finished shouting. His vision was widened and he saw Mr. Fang taking the suit from the person next to him. He quickly shouted to the front: "The one holding the suit is Mr. Fang!"
Fang Zhuo had just visited France at the beginning of the month. Although he couldn't understand anything, he could understand French. He looked around curiously, but didn't see anything. He could only look at the impatient media and smiled helplessly: "There is a question-and-answer session, and I'm not leaving. Why are you in such a hurry?"
No hurries?
Most people want a good position for an interview.
The reporters gradually formed a circle, and set up an interview area in the front row with their cameras and rifles.
Fang Zhuo looked around and gave up the idea of changing the venue. He smiled and said, "I'm glad to see everyone's enthusiasm for the Yike press conference. Let's make it short. In fact, I said everything I should have said at the press conference, and Mr. Liu also said it in detail."
The reporters ignored him and kept asking questions in a mixture of Chinese and English directly at Fang Zhuo's face.
Fang Zhuo listened for ten seconds, then directly called for help to maintain order during the interview. He decisively said to a domestic reporter, "You ask first."
"Hello, Mr. Fang. I am Fan Qigao, a reporter from the Shanghai Securities News." Fan Qigao looked young, paused, and asked the first question, "Mr. Fang, I want to ask, when did Yike become the world's number one?"
Fang Zhuo laughed when he heard this question: "Today, today."
This question has a source. Last year, when Fang Zhuo was browsing Weibo with his account, he reposted a fan-edited history of the development of Yike mobile phones. The title of the video clip at that time was what the reporter is asking now, "When was Yike the world's number one?", and it also came from a line in a movie.
When Fang Zhuo reposted the article, he gave an answer similar to the one in the movie - I don't know, what do you think?
Now, he gave a completely different answer from before - today, today.
Many people who follow Mr. Fang's updates remembered this connection and laughed along, while domestic reporters who didn't pay attention just laughed at the content of the question and answer.
But the foreign media reporters didn't quite get the joke. They just thought it was Mr. Fang's confidence. They wondered if everyone had any other reasons to be happy.
Fan Qigao wanted to ask more, but he saw that Mr. Fang had already pointed to someone else. He felt a little regretful, but he also felt that the lead he had taken was good.
"Mr. Fang, Yike's Mars series of mobile phones use the 16nm Zhurong chip. Is the production capacity sufficient? Where will the first batch of countries and regions be launched?" The Financial Times reporter asked a key question.
It was not until then that Fang Zhuo realized that he seemed to have forgotten to say this when he was on the stage.
No, it should have been displayed on the screen at that time.
The first batch of Yike Mars series mobile phones were sold in five countries: China, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and the second batch was sold in Canada, Australia, Japan, Italy, Spain and other countries.
"We have sufficient production capacity, unlike the previous full-screen sales where there are restrictions." Fang Zhuo's answer made some foreign media reporters feel heavy. He added, "So, I would like to take this opportunity to say that you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it. Our official website, the first batch of sales countries (China, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and domestic Yiguo have all started pre-sales. The arrival time depends on the logistics conditions in various places. If there are no accidents, you can receive it in 10-14 days."
Because Christmas is approaching overseas, Yike has concentrated its sales this year to maximize sales during the traditional peak season.
The words of Yike's boss were very straightforward, which made those who had doubts about Bingxin's 16nm production capacity give up hope.
Judging from Yike’s mobile phone sales strategy, there is sufficient supply, which means that the 16nm lead this time is basically true.
What does this mean?
If Yike and Bingxin were really allowed to develop together like this, with Yike dominating the high-end market and Bingxin suppressing the TV reporters, wouldn't this cycle be a hundred times faster?
In addition, Yike has achieved development in the baseband field that is almost as good as Qualcomm, and this is only one year away from its baseband breakthrough last year.
From point to line to surface, such surging development really made some foreign media reporters present look solemn.
Fang Zhuo pointed to a foreign reporter who looked familiar, but he was from the Wall Street Journal.
"Mr. Fang, is it too late for me to cancel my iPhone 6S order now?" The Wall Street Journal reporter said this, which may represent the thoughts of some users, and then asked, "YiKe has made a gratifying breakthrough this time. Well, what do you want to say to your competitors?"
"Competitor?" Fang Zhuo was bewildered. "Ah?"
The reporter thought Mr. Fang didn't understand, so he repeated it again.
Fang Zhuo raised his hand, made a lookout gesture, and then spread his hands out.
Laughter was heard all around. Well, Mr. Fang was looking at his competitors. Where were they?
There is no rival here!
"With sufficient market competition, I have enough confidence in Yike's investment, R&D, products and innovation." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I don't know if Cook is watching the press conference, but I do think of an old friend occasionally."
Reporters understood, and some people familiar with Cook felt that... Cook, who had to admit that last year's low-cost strategy was wrong, must be heartbroken...
But this can't be blamed on Cook!
This is a breakthrough in the ice core!
That ice core thing, that thing...Oh yes, it was also created by Mr. Fang.
All the responsibility lies with Mr. Fang!
"Mr. Fang, do you think Samsung and Apple's mobile phones are still competitive in front of Mars?" Another foreign media reporter asked a similar question.
"Let the market answer this question. Although I am confident, it still depends on the market performance in the end." Fang Zhuo replied, "I believe in Mars."
At this moment, a reporter who was following Nasdaq shouted out: It’s up! It’s skyrocketed!
The consumer market still needs time to find an answer, but the secondary market has given an enthusiastic response first.
When the Nasdaq opened, Yike’s stock price soared 9%, directly setting a new high, and its market value exceeded US$3500 billion!
At the same time, the share prices of Apple and Samsung fell, which was considered as a contribution to the launch of Yike Mars.
The stock prices in the secondary market stimulated the journalists and their enthusiasm for interviews increased.
Fang Zhuo patiently answered questions, including some slightly sensitive questions about the ice core. This went on for an hour until it was getting late.
"Let's stop here today. After a whole press conference, I'm tired of being asked questions like this again." Fang Zhuo raised his hands, suppressed the questions that were still being thrown out, and said with a smile, "I will personally give everyone who visited today a Mars phone as a gift. I hope we can keep it as a souvenir. No matter what I say on the stage, the most practical thing is to experience it in your hands. You are the first users in the world to get the phone."
Mr. Fang’s words made all the reporters’ eyes light up.
The actual experience of Mars 8.8 is enough to write a report. If we compare it with competing products, it will be another report, and it is indeed very memorable.
Many reporters directly thought of sealing it up.
Liu Zonghong, a reporter from the outside circle, asked media friends to register nearby and bring their mobile phones early tomorrow morning.
Fang Zhuo accepted the congratulations from the media again and expressed his gratitude with a smile.
After this round of interviews, his back was slightly sweaty. He threw the clothes he had been holding back to his secretary and quickly left the press conference.
"Mr. Fang..." It was not surprising that there were still people waiting outside. What was surprising was that Sohu's CEO Zhang Chaoyang had also been waiting outside for a long time.
"Brother Chaoyang!" Fang Zhuo gave him a hug in a good mood.
"Congratulations." Zhang Chaoyang was in a mixed mood. He first congratulated and then said, "It's really the Red Hare among horses and the Mars among airplanes! It's the best in the world and it lives up to its reputation!"
Fang Zhuo laughed loudly, turned around and said, "Tell Yiguo to use Brother Chaoyang's blessing later, Red Hare among horses, Mars among planes."
"Of course, there's also you. I heard Qi He's acquisition intention on behalf of Yike, and you also want to do the same." Zhang Chaoyang gave a thumbs up, "Fang Zhuo among the people!"
Fang Zhuo pressed down Zhang Chaoyang's thumb with a slap and said with a smile: "I really think you are praising me, Brother Chaoyang, let's keep it to ourselves, let's not talk about that, let's do it privately, if you are willing, I will regard it as a gift to my brother."
Before Zhang Chongyang could say anything, he saw Mr. Fang's secretary Liu Zonghong coming over with a phone in his hand with a serious look on his face. Mr. Fang glanced at the screen and immediately indicated that he should answer the call first.
"Fang Zhuo, you said you wanted to push up the stock price, but you didn't say you would do it this way." It was a rare voice from the shadow shareholder himself on the phone.
"Ah? Whether it's Yike or Bingxin, the stock prices will hit new highs this time. We only know how to make money." Fang Zhuo answered innocently.
No matter how you push it, just see if it's high this time.
There was no sound on the phone, but the call was not disconnected.
Fang Zhuo also remained silent. It’s just about making money. Our relationship is purely about making money.
"Congratulations on achieving such remarkable results." The shadow shareholder said this and then hung up the phone.
"Ask Mr. Kong to call Austin to discuss the funding issue." Fang Zhuo returned the phone to Liu Zonghong and reminded him that it is worth fighting for every bit of time that can be gained.
Zhang Chaoyang saw that Mr. Fang was walking back with a serious expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Congratulations from a leader." Fang Zhuo adjusted his expression and smiled naturally.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zonghong hurried over again and whispered, "Mr. Fang, Qualcomm is voting, and Chen Fuyang is leading."
Zhang Chaoyang was also shocked when he heard this. He naturally knew what was happening in Qualcomm. That Chen Fuyang was actually ahead of Jacob?
Wow, Qualcomm even sacrificed its own leader as a gift to Yi Ke!
