1991 Starting from the core

"Everyone who has hope for the future may have thought this way - is there a device that can meet all our needs for spiritual life?"

"As a technology company, we are thinking about it all the time. What kind of products can carry our yearning for the future."

Su Yuanshan held the phone in his palm, and Wang Rui also began to display various data on the phone.

“Not long ago, I had the pleasure of reading a book called The Road to the Future. The author of the book predicted various scenarios for the future – it just happened that our products and his imagination overlapped at this moment.”

"Next, let me introduce the characteristics of Vidoo5m again - although it has the same appearance as Vidoo5, the technology inside it is very different."

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuanshan began to give a comprehensive introduction to Vidoo5M from the configuration, battery capacity, and storage space.

"It has the most advanced SOC processor, YX3133. It is also equipped with the Ymico micro operating system that supports the cc language - this means that it can provide a software platform based on the cc language, allowing us to load more software on our mobile phones. Excellent program.”

"At the same time, it also supports GPRS Internet function - you can even use it to send and receive emails."

Su Yuanshan paused when he said this, his eyes swept across the front row, and stayed on Gates' face for a second.

At this second, he saw that Gates was also surprised for a moment.

There is no doubt that this guy is smart - Su Yuanshan thought in his heart.

The entire venue seemed to be lost in thought because of his words.

Su Yuanshan had been talking continuously for more than an hour, but he didn't even feel thirsty. Instead, he became more and more excited - and in his excitement, there was a trace of regret.

Because this phone is, after all, just a transitional product.

The Ymico system is far from mature, and such an excellent chip as the YX3133 is in vain. Moreover, the flash memory is also welded to the motherboard, and there is no time to install a TF card reading system.

But there is still too much to explain about the phone itself.

For example, it uses the micoUSB interface for charging and data transmission for the first time, turning mobile phones into "tools" and "entertainments" for the first time.

For example, it uses polymer lithium battery for the first time, which allows it to have a highly plastic body shape while having a high battery life.

…

"In the end, it's the price."

Su Yuanshan turned his back to the crowd and looked at the curtain.

A very simple animation, slowly showing numbers from left to right.

First there is a dollar sign, followed by an Arabic numeral "1".

When they saw the word "1", the audience started to whistle and applaud - it can't be ten thousand dollars! This means that it is also the most expensive at $1,999.

This price is enough to be accepted by everyone in Silicon Valley.

At this time, the numbers paused, and Su Yuanshan turned around in time and looked at the passionate crowd - he could no longer figure out whether the "shills" were making noise or whether everyone was really mobilized.

But what the heck, since someone is cooperating, let’s just act!

Su Yuanshan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "What do you want the second number to be?"

Everyone in the audience said in unison: "zero!"

"You guys are so bad." Su Yuanshan laughed, and then showed the second number.

1.

When the numbers were fully displayed, the entire venue... boiled.

$1199!

(Let me explain, I remembered the exchange rate incorrectly... I said it wrong in the previous chapter, and it has been revised to focus on the current one.)

…

In the audience, Ellison, the president of Motorola, was sitting next to Jobs. When he saw this number, he was startled. He almost couldn't help but point at Su Yuanshan's nose - is it so cheap?

Yes, at $1,199, it's a steal.

Even Ellison couldn't help but maliciously speculate at this moment whether Yuanxin was engaging in malicious dumping in order to enter the North American market!

But he soon calmed down.

There is no way, the RMB is now in a period of depreciation against the US dollar, this cost... Yuanxin is completely controllable - because they have their own production lines from chip design to chip production to complete machine assembly.

The only thing that requires external procurement may be the screen.

Thinking of this, Ellison breathed out softly and began to wait for the show to end.

"Thank you all for coming, see you next time."

After Su Yuanshan took a final bow, he returned backstage amid applause.

…

…

The press conference is over, but the battle to enter the North American market has just begun.

But this is no longer Su Yuanshan's task - Wang Rui's visa is for half a year, which means that he will stay here for at least several months.

From channels to stores to dealing with customs, although the preliminary work has already been carried out, there is still too much to do after the actual "loading" of goods begins.

As for Su Yuanshan, after the meeting, he said goodbye to the big guys who came to support him one by one.

"A very good press conference." Gates held Su Yuanshan's hand and praised with "sincerity" on his face: "I will learn from you next time."

"Haha, don't laugh at me. I was wandering around on the stage because I was nervous." Su Yuanshan knew that when Gates talked about learning, he naturally meant that he did not stick to the form of "speech" but stood up. The center on the stage was responsible for guiding: "By the way, I think the PPT system should be improved."

"Huh? What improvement?"

"For example, if we get a laser remote control pen or something to coordinate with the PPT, then we can stand in the center of the stage and turn the page directly, instead of the current situation where two people need to cooperate." Su Yuanshan said and shrugged: "Why don't I just turn around? Let someone tinker with it and come up with a set of wireless remote control equipment."

Gates thought for a while and nodded immediately: "Well, not bad. I'll wait."

"..." Su Yuanshan smiled silently: "Bill, I thought you wanted to ask me about the Ymico system."

"I've thought about it." Gates immediately became serious when he heard Su Yuanshan talk about Ymico: "Since we both understand that mobile phones will develop in the direction of intelligence, a compact system must be necessary."

"Yes." Su Yuanshan nodded without reservation: "Do you have any ideas?"

When Su Yuanshan asked about his thoughts, Gates was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly shook his head: "I can only tell you now, I don't know whether it should be there or not."

This sentence sounded difficult to pronounce, but Su Yuanshan understood it.

Of course Mr. Gates knows that future mobile phones must have an operating system. But now... he is powerless.

At this time, Microsoft is focusing on the development of the next generation Windows operating system and has no intention of doing anything else. You know, win95 only established a winning streak, not an absolute monopoly.

You know, Apple isn't dead yet. Even Steve Jobs is back...not to mention there are still people working on Linux!

The most important thing is the mobile operating system, which must enter the mobile phone industry.
