With the gradual launch of Xingyu Technology's pilot publicity, the outside world has continued to pay more attention to the company's first-generation product launch, and the current promotional slogan is also "the first real smartphone in China", the keyword It is the word "domestic".

However, many "Muyang" groups in the Mainland, especially the so-called public intellectuals, scoffed at this kind of propaganda. They have always belittled domestic products, and they all pretended to be waiting to see a joke.

Most people in the industry, including people in the investment community, feel that Xingyu Technology's recent layout is too radical. All the arrangements give the outside world the impression that Xingyu Technology is extremely confident that its first product will be a hit.

Many people in the industry are unable to understand where does their self-confidence come from?

This makes the outside world more and more curious about Xingyu Technology's press conference, and it also makes many people in the investment circle secretly expect that once Xingyu Technology overturns and the first product launch fails miserably, Qunxing Capital will lose all its money now. Return, thanks to the rhythm of grandma's house.

However, to the helplessness of the fellow investment institutions, they also realized that even if Xingyu Technology failed miserably, even if Qunxing Capital lost all their money on this project, it seemed that they could not hurt it.

Because there is too much money, it is really annoying to think about it.

It is worth mentioning that earlier this month, Rebus has established Xiaomi Technology. In terms of efficiency, Xiaomi may be faster, and Lei always intends to release the first generation of Xiaomi mobile phones this year.

But the technical content is really not flattering.

Qin Feng always described his S1 as an assembly machine, because most of the core components are not his own.

Xiaomi's first-generation smartphone was even more of an assembly machine. From the hardware to the software, it was almost someone else's property, except for the brand that was its own.

Xingyu Technology's first-generation smartphone still has a lot of its own things, especially the software.

Rebs is also very concerned about Xingyu Technology's press conference. This may be Xiaomi's first competitor in the mainland, and he dare not underestimate it, because Xiaomi is really good at competing with Xingyu Technology. There is nothing to take advantage of.

In terms of time, Xingyu Technology was established earlier than Xiaomi, and Xiaomi was officially established at the beginning of this month;

In terms of funds, Xiaomi has no advantage. Although Rebs also has a lot of investors supporting him, Qunxing Capital, the funder behind Xingyu Technology, is even stronger, and even supports Xingyu Technology as a "son". , The technology is given whatever you want. Some stars will give it, and they will find a way to give it if they don't.

It's worth mentioning that Apple didn't pay attention to this new technology conference, or even paid attention to it, and Joe's boss didn't even know the existence of this company.

As a world-renowned technology giant, it is not uncommon for a newly established start-up technology company to be ignored. After all, technology companies are founded every day all over the world.

What's more, Xingyu Technology was not established in Silicon Valley. In short, the giant factory didn't take it seriously.

The most important thing is that Apple's big event is about to make Joe's boss explode. How can he pay attention to a start-up company like Xingyu Technology that he has never heard of and has no products.

...

The time came to March 18th, and something happened on this day that made Gangzhu Qiao very angry.

In North America, an Apple software engineer named Gray Bauer went to a bar to celebrate his 27th birthday today, and in his pocket was an undisclosed iPhone 4.

The release date of Apple's new products is set in three months, and before the real machine is released, engineers sometimes have to take the product to the outside world to test performance and eliminate bugs. do it.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Gray Bauer, an Apple engineer, to run around with a prototype of the iPhone 4, and Gray also specially made a deceptive iPhone3GS camouflage case, which is difficult to find without taking it apart.

But the problem is that Gray Bauer was too excited about today's birthday, he drank a lot of wine, and left the bar in a daze, and which extremely confidential iPhone4 prototype was actually left behind by him On the table.

Not long after Gray Power left the bar, a young man named Brian Hogan found the phone. After a while, he found that no one took the phone, and knew that it must have been lost by the owner.

Brian took the phone away and asked around the bar, but no one claimed it. He continued to sit and wait for a long time, but still did not find the owner.

So Brian simply took the phone home.

Back home, Brian took out the phone and played with it. He quickly realized and realized the special features of this phone. Brian said to himself in surprise: "Why does the iPhone 3GS have a front Camera? This is not an iPhone 3GS..."

Brian soon discovered that the screen of this phone was also exceptionally clear. Finally, he made a decision to take the phone apart to have a look, and accidentally removed the camouflage shell of the prototype.

"Gift crab..." Brian was shocked when he looked at the mobile phone with the case removed. The corners, the frame, and the glass back panel were obviously not the iPhone 3GS that was already on the market. He soon realized that it might be Is the upcoming iPhone4.

The next morning, Brian called Apple's customer service directly and told them that he had picked up an unlisted iPhone from Apple and wanted to return it.

But Apple's customer service didn't believe his words at all, and hung up on him as a prank.

This made Brian a little upset, and then he directly tried to contact a number of technology media, and many media did not believe his words. How could Apple's new products be owned by an unknown person?

What are you kidding?

But there was still a media editor called Gizmodo who took it seriously, and was pleasantly surprised to find out the super news, and finally bought the prototype of the iPhone 4 from Brian for $5,000.

At the same time, Apple engineer Gray Bauer realized that he had lost the prototype, and the news reached the ears of Joe Gang, and he was furious that day, but Gray was not fired because of this.

After realizing that the prototype was lost, Apple immediately wiped all the data on the phone remotely. In other words, the prototype has become a delicate industrial brick.

But even if it became a brick, the Gizmodo website still violently dismantled the prototype from the inside out, and at the same time was writing an article preparing to release a series of heavy leaked articles in April to expose this fierce news.

If there is no immediate exposure, it needs to be researched. This is a technical task, because Apple has already erased the data on the phone through remote technology, and now it cannot be turned on.

Such wild news must be well-prepared, anyway, as long as it is exposed before Apple's press conference in June.

Fang Hong, who has been reborn through time travel, knows this. This is the "leaked door" incident of the iPhone 4, and he also knows that the Gizmod website will release a series of leaked articles on April 19th, letting the world know in advance. iPhone4 prototype.

That's why Xingyu Technology's press conference was scheduled for the end of March.

...

As time went by, March 25 came as scheduled.

This morning, many invited technology media came to Xincheng, and the conference venue was held in Xincheng, which was set up next to the five official flagship stores.

There are five official flagship stores across the country, and the other four are in the four major first-tier cities. The flagship store is different from other direct-sale stores. Other direct-sale stores are leased by supermarkets, while the official flagship store is a whole building directly. An independent building, although the building is not big, but in the center of a big city, the land price is very expensive.

The layout of the five flagship stores has long been started, and they directly bought a building in the local area for refurbishment. They spent a lot of money but are definitely not at a loss. Ten years later, the price of this commercial building will soar by more than six or seven times. One billion.

The headquarters of Xingyu Technology is in Xincheng. Although the level of development is not as high as that of first-tier cities, as the city where the company's headquarters is located, it is natural to have an official flagship store.

At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon, a luxurious car drove into the Xingyu Technology conference venue, and Fang Hong was in the back seat of the car. Today, he also came here specially to watch this grand new product conference.
