Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 627 Competitors think so; new mobile phones on sale

[Starry Sky Smartphone] received more attention than the warm-up before the press conference.

After the press conference, the popularity of this product increased instead of decreasing, and it was also transferred to foreign forums by some media.

Not only domestic netizens expressed shock, but those foreign netizens also felt very incredible.

"Is this really the technological strength from the East? Shocked."

"Is this a mobile phone? It's a work of art, right? Compared to the phones we use every day, they're ugly as hell."

"The previous [Thunder 2] game consoles have already shocked me a lot, and this time it has shocked me even more than before."

"4799 Yuan Daxia coin? If you convert it into US dollars, it's only about 600. It's really cheap!!!"

"If it is sold to our country, it must not be so cheap. Customs taxes and other messy things have to be added, and it will cost at least 800 US dollars."

"$800 I can do it!!!"

"I don't know when I can buy it? It's a pity that it's not convenient to buy an overseas version of the mobile phone, otherwise I will ask someone to buy one."

"It's a pity that I couldn't go to the press conference in person, I can even imagine how the atmosphere at the scene exploded!!"

"I look forward to the international version being released as soon as possible, even if the price is 800 US dollars, or even 1000 US dollars."

"Damn it! Why is such a powerful high-tech actually a product of Daxia Country? Are all the scientific research companies in our Lighthouse Country eating dung?"

"I can hardly feel the pride of being born in the lighthouse country. I feel inferior to that backward country in the East in many aspects."

"It is said that the Great Xia Kingdom is a beautiful place, a famous gourmet town all over the world. You must visit it when you are on vacation in the future."

"Speaking of several scientific research giants in our country... Haven't you looked at today's stock market? The stock price has been cut in half. It is estimated that those shareholders can't sleep."

"I think these arrogant guys should be stimulated. Otherwise, their research and development speed is slow. When will such powerful high-tech appear?"

"Let's look forward to the release of the international version of [Xingkong Smartphone]. I don't count on these domestic capitalists anymore. They only make money, so how do they know about research and development?"

Foreign netizens are discussing enthusiastically.

While pursuing [Xingkong Smartphone], they also did not forget to ridicule several scientific research giants in their own country.

And at the same time-

As a netizen said, how can the top executives of scientific research giants still have the mind to sleep?
Their stock prices plummeted, and even if they personally rescued the market, they could not stabilize the situation.

[Giant Hard Group]!
An international giant that once competed with [Thunder Group] has a market value of more than 2000 billion U.S. dollars, and it is considered a leader in the world.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the company's conference room was very solemn.

"It's because the international version of [Xingkong Smartphone] has not been released. Once the international version is released, our stock price will continue to fall. Those investors who are swaying the wind have given up hope in us."

The boss "Johnson" sitting at the top said coldly: "[Thunder Group]'s scientific research strength is far inferior to ours. How did they make this product? Don't you get any information?"

He was disappointed.

I feel that my subordinates are a bunch of idiots.

[Great Hard Group] Industrial spies have been planted in all the threatening scientific research companies in the world. They dare not say that they can get any core secrets, but they still cannot hide the basic trends from them.

Throughout the world, there are not many scientific research giants that can pose a threat to them.

The [Thunder Group], which is far away across the ocean, has indirectly defeated them several times. In Johnson's eyes, this company's threat is even greater than [MT Group] and [Dongzhu Group].

however--

[Thunder Group] released two products one after another, but they didn't get any news.

The previous [Thunder 2] game console was nothing more than that. This product line is too similar to a computer, and it is understandable to be negligent for a while.

But what about 【Star Smartphone】?

The research and development costing nearly [-] billion, such a large fund mobilization, such a large project project requires at least several years of accumulation, and at least thousands of scientific researchers to participate... The result?

They made such a big move right under your noses, and you can't get any news?
"[Thunder Group] is really special, and you know it."

A high-level executive said with a wry smile: "We tried to send some elites there, but these people are not qualified to enter the core area at all, not only them, according to the investigation... But anyone who has been abroad, anyone whose family has gone abroad, But anyone who has any contact with overseas will either not be able to become a core research and development member, or will be closely monitored... We don't even have the slightest chance."

"Moreover, the [Thunder Life Park] model is simply unheard of. Many core scientific research executives even simply moved their homes in, and they may not come out twice a year... We have no chance to connect. The entire [Thunder Life Park] ], just like a military base.”

"If [Thunder Life Park] is overseas, we may have some chances to infiltrate, but..."

"The entire base is in the imperial capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and you know the official attitude of the Great Xia... Preventing foreigners is like preventing thieves. We may not even be able to pass this level."

Isn't it like guarding against thieves?

Many powerful countries on the other side of the ocean are not willing to see the rise of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Compared with Great Xia becoming a global technological power, they would rather see the other party as just a country with cheap labor without core technology, that is, an industrial power.

In the future era of science and technology, industrial powers will lose all the right to speak and become a big cake that everyone wants to eat.

Since the birth of [Thunder Group], it has earned trillions of value for the Great Xia Kingdom in the international field, and it has also given the Great Xia Kingdom the confidence to negotiate with the world's major powers. Of course, they will not let these foreign businessmen touch their own treasures.

"Let's not talk about that for now."

Johnson didn't want to pursue responsibility at this time. He glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Find a way to get a few [Xingkong Smartphones] for dismantling and research. Just establish the direction of research and development. In addition, apply for a review of [Thunder Group] I want to know how much research they have done quietly... Also, contact me [Thunder Group] to discuss cooperation matters."

Cooperation?

The higher-ups were taken aback.

It is normal to disassemble and study each other's technology products, and it is not surprising that everyone is doing it.

Consult the patent catalog of the other party, so as to find ways to avoid patent restrictions through reference and imitation, and even countermeasures. This is also what scientific research companies often do.

But cooperation...

You know, as the number one giant in the field of civil technology in Lighthouse Country, their [Giant Hard Group], if they really reach a cooperation with [Thunder Group], what will outsiders think?
"Cooperation is a must."

Johnson said lightly: "The most important thing now is to stabilize the stock price of the group. We will not be able to compete with [Thunder Group] in a short time. This is a fact that everyone does not want to believe, but the fact will not be changed because of your wishes Change, if we can’t give the market and shareholders an explanation, the group’s share price will only continue to fall, eventually forming a vicious circle.”

"so--"

"The only way for us right now is to reach a cooperation with [Thunder Group], so that shareholders can see a bright future... No matter what, we must promote this cooperation, and the time should be extended as much as possible, at least until our smartphones appear. until."

Join if you can't.

Enjoy if you can't resist.

This is the only way for [Juhard Group] to tide over the difficulties at this stage, although it makes many high-level officials feel very aggrieved.

……

"Cooperate with us?"

When Tian Moyun knew about this, he was a little surprised.

"Yeah, and they're calling to talk to you about it."

Wilson said in a videoconference.

After he jumped ship and joined, he was in charge of the overseas business of [Star Technology Company]. He had been in charge of the operations of the two games "Counter-Strike" and "Warcraft" before.

And right now, after the [Starry Sky Smartphone] is released, he is also very excited. If he can win the overseas high-end mobile phone market, he will definitely gain a lot.

Whether it is the salary and dividends in [Star Technology Company], or his own career ability, he has greatly improved.

"Alright."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "Arrange a suitable time, it's best not to affect my rest time."

Because the work and rest schedules of the two parties are almost opposite, Tian Moyun, as "Party A" right now, of course he will not accommodate the negotiating team of [Great Hard Technology Group].

Compared with this close cooperation, Tian Moyun cares more about his health and rest.

"Okay, I will talk to them about this matter, and they should want to negotiate as soon as possible, after all, the current stock market is not friendly to them."

Wilson smiled and ended the call.

……

Tian Moyun took this matter to heart, but he didn't take it too seriously.

[Thunder Group] and [Juhard Group] are the most powerful in the cooperation negotiation, not them, but the latter.

For [Thunder Group], it is just the icing on the cake.

Making more money and making less money, at this point, is no longer the focus of consideration.

[Thunder Group] can cooperate with overseas companies or domestic companies to help domestic companies go out of the Great Xia Kingdom and become a giant in the world... although it will take a long time.

And [Giant Hard Group]?

They urgently need to find some reliable and powerful good news to stabilize their company's stock price.

For listed companies, this thing is still very important. In the view of Johnson, the boss of [Juhard Group], it is more important than becoming a competitor with [Thunder Group].

It stands to reason——

There is absolutely no need for Tian Moyun to discuss cooperation with the other party now, because it is a good thing for him to be unlucky for the [Juhard Group], so why should he "help" his opponent to tide over the difficulties?

But Tian Moyun also had his own ideas.

Johnson was able to take the initiative to talk to him about cooperation, obviously because he was caught off guard by the beating. While hating him in his heart, he didn't want to really tear his face completely, thinking that he could still rescue him.

However, if Tian Moyun directly refused to cooperate, it would be easy to force Johnson to launch a war that would hurt both sides, and even accelerate the arrival of the next "ice age", which would be of no benefit to anyone.

Tian Moyun didn't want to completely tear herself apart with Johnson at this juncture.

Because that is likely to hinder the global plan of [Xingkong Smartphone], which is not the situation he wants to see.

At the same time, Tian Moyun felt that this time the leaders of the two sides discussed cooperation in person...he could also take the opportunity to do something other than "benefit exchange" with the other party to make plans for the future.

certainly--

More specifically, it depends on the results of the negotiations between the two parties at that time.

……

Time soon came to July 05, 1.

This is a very memorable day, because the world's first smartphone will be officially released today.

The lowest price is 4799 yuan, and the highest price is 5999 yuan!
This is a price that makes countless Chinese people gasp. I don't know how many people on the Internet are secretly cursing that the price is too expensive, thinking that Tian Moyun is too black-hearted and so on.

But these obviously don't affect the results.

Those consumers who are very interested in this and have no financial pressure started to line up nearly half an hour in advance, waiting to buy new mobile phones as soon as possible.

While queuing up, they chatted about the new mobile phone with a smile on their face, such as why they bought a mobile phone, and their opinions on the price.

"I think there is something wrong with the pricing of [Starry Sky 1]."

一个年轻人吐槽：“16G版本4799元，32G版本5299元，合着16G内存值500块钱？这也太坑了吧？”

“这算啥啊？128G版本的5999元，比32G版本才贵700块，却多了96G内存呢。”

A buddy next to him was also complaining: "I thought about it at first, just buy the highest configuration directly, but after thinking about it, I don't need so much storage, so it's not a waste to buy it."

"That's a lot of trouble."

The young man Two sighed: "Don't think about it so much, let me tell you, just buy the 16G version. The mobile phone has so much memory and it's enough, and it's the only option under 5000 yuan."

There are not a few people who complain about the pricing of the version.

As for the lowest price of 4799 yuan for mobile phones, not many people complained.

Consumers who can queue up to buy at the first time obviously don't care about the money. They prefer to pursue fashion, fashion, and trends, and they are not very sensitive to prices.

Of course... these are also based on their own financial resources.

In addition to complaining about version pricing, they discussed more about a series of functions at the press conference.

Capacitive touch screen!
This thing has never appeared before, and at the press conference, when this function appeared, it can be regarded as blinding their titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

……

At 8:00, the national brand stores will open for business and sales.

【Xingkong Smartphone】The sale is very hot. You can see reports about this matter everywhere on the Internet. Even many local TV news are discussing this matter. It is very lively.

Weibo, Tieba and other forums.

Many consumers who have bought mobile phones are taking photos and uploading them to show off their high efficiency.

A large number of jealous netizens commented quickly, expressing their inner envy with three consecutive exclamation points.

"How does it feel to operate the touch screen? Is this thing accurate?"

"The press conference site is pretty good, but I don't know how the actual machine operation is going to be."

"Full touch screen, there are no other buttons except the switch, volume button, and mute button. In other words, you have to rely on the touch screen for everything. Is it really convenient?"

"What I'm more concerned about is, what if the accuracy of the touch screen is too low? For example, when you make a call and enter the wrong number."

"If the screen is broken, then the phone will be completely unusable, right? And this kind of high-tech seems to cost a lot to repair."

"I still can't believe this kind of high technology, and I feel that the previous push-button mobile phone is more practical."

"Yes, yes, I feel that Boss Tian's step is too big, with hundreds of billions of research and development, if it's not easy to sell..."

Netizens who didn't buy it all discussed in a tone of 'concern for the country and the people'.

And what did you buy?
Of course, they were not used to the full touch screen operation logic at first, and instinctively wanted to find the familiar physical button layout, but they couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and then they remembered that the phone in their hands didn't have those things.

If you want to think about it yourself... such an expensive thing feels precious in your hands, and you dare not toss it casually for fear of breaking it.

Therefore, they had no choice but to read the instructions carefully, and then learn a little bit.

Fortunately——

The operation logic of [Xingkong Smartphone] adopts a completely fool-like design. In order to prevent interference with the user's thinking ability, the system UI is deliberately made extremely simple.

The first batch of netizens who bought it were also pleasantly surprised after they gradually became familiar with it.

"By the way, there is also wireless network."

A certain consumer suddenly thought of something, and quickly dug out a USB device from the mobile phone box.

According to the introduction at the press conference, this thing is called a "wireless signal transmitter". It is very convenient to use it according to the usage in the manual. The mobile phone does not need to consume data when it is connected to the home network.

This is a great invention.

Because in the past year, everyone has had a headache because of the data fee problem, this thing is really expensive...for those heavy surfers.

The software configuration of [Xingkong Smartphone] is so good, and the software volume is dozens of times larger than the previous feature phone.

If you just use traffic, you will definitely feel distressed. Downloading a game will cost you several dollars in traffic fees... But with this "wireless signal transmitter", all problems are easily solved.

Then--

After preparing everything clumsily, click on the [Game Store APP], ready to download the game.

""Fruit Cutting"? Isn't this the game that was announced at the press conference, and it's still free to download?"

""Talking Tom Cat"? This also appeared at the press conference. It's quite interesting. It's also a free download?"

""2048"? What kind of game is this? It seems quite simple."

""Star Chess Hall"? Hmm... the picture introduction of this one seems to be the same version as the one on the computer."

""Flying Bird"? This game is so old... But it seems quite interesting to port it to a mobile phone and control it through the touch screen."

""Traveling Frog: New Edition"? This game is very famous. Does it cost 3 yuan? Forget it, I spent nearly 5000 yuan today. It is not appropriate to continue to waste money. I will definitely do it next time."

……

Weibo, Tieba and other forums.

The number of netizens discussing this new product has suddenly increased, and their little tail has also changed its name: from the [Starry Sky 1st Generation Smartphone] client.

This little tail undoubtedly made many netizens express envy and hatred.

At the same time, a "new trend" is gradually becoming active on the Internet. Netizens like Xiaowei are very happy to regard each other as good friends.

And those netizens who don't have new mobile phones can only watch them chat, but they can't get in the conversation.

After all... I am just an ordinary little netizen who has no right to speak.

That's pretty interesting.

……

"It seems that everyone's acceptance speed is quite fast."

Tian Moyun pays more attention to the evaluation of the first batch of users.

He looked around on the Internet and found that the comments were basically positive, and only a very small number of people expressed dislike, so he was relieved.

Many people are not used to the birth of any new product or new technology. These people are more accustomed to the traditional way of life and do not like to be exposed to new things.

Take [Xingkong Smartphone] as an example.

There is no doubt that this is the most advanced mobile smart technology in the world, but [Starry Sky Smartphone] has all advantages and no defects?
No, it's flawed, and it's big.

For example: intolerance to falling, short battery life, high price, heavy traffic consumption... These are real shortcomings.

However, compared to its advantages, these things seem to be worth mentioning again.

Tian Moyun does not expect everyone to like such a product, he only hopes that the target group of [Xingkong Smartphone] will like it.

Apparently, it worked.

"How about sales? 24-hour sales."

Tian Moyun asked Zhou Yunteng: "Has the statistic come out?"

"The statistics are out."

Zhou Yunteng replied: "The 24-hour sales volume is about 20 units, and the revenue has just exceeded 10 billion yuan. According to statistics, the favorable rate is about 99%. The word-of-mouth feedback from consumers is pretty good."

In 24 hours, the revenue reached 10 billion yuan!

Is this income great?

If compared with the billions in a few seconds on Earth in the previous life, it seems nothing at all.

But you must know that in this era, not all consumers can accept [Xingkong Smartphone], because most people do not know its concept.

Similarly, the per capita income of this era is not as good as the glorious period of the Internet in the previous life, and the power that really promotes the prosperity of the Internet (mobile Internet) has not yet arrived...

Under such circumstances, naturally, the data cannot be compared with the previous life.

But Tian Moyun believes that the achievement of breaking 24 billion in 10 hours... can still be bragged about!

"Pack up this news and send it out through Weibo and Tieba, and also send it to overseas forums."

Tian Moyun thought for a while and said, "On the one hand, I would like to thank the netizens who supported us. On the other hand, try to put pressure on [Juhard Group] and other overseas scientific research giants to force them to be more active in promoting this cooperation. This will benefit us. Conditions."
