Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Standing on the stage of the Grand Theater again, Wang Zheng was quite emotional.

The last time I stood here was at the end of March, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Compared with the first press conference, the number of companies, individuals or media participating in this joint press conference has been greatly improved, both in terms of quality and quantity.

The entire grand theater was packed with seats.

As the 10 o'clock bell rang, Wang Zheng walked onto the stage with brisk steps.

Today, Wang Zheng is still wearing a casual shirt and jeans, but his confidence is different.

"Dear friends, I am Justin Fehr."

After a burst of warm applause, Wang Zheng started today's press conference.

"In 2006, the number of Internet users around the world reached 1 billion, an increase of 35% over last year. This is an extremely great number. It proves to us that the Internet is covering the world at an extremely fast speed."

"Currently, 120 million people around the world use Meta, WeChat or Tik Tok every day to get the information or content they want. Thank you for your support. At the same time, we promise every user that we will continue to be user-centered.

Bringing a better Internet experience.”

Wang Zheng paused and said with a smile: "I have to say, I am very curious, what do the remaining 780 million Internet users do when they go online every day? Is it because the girls in the Meta community are not beautiful enough, or is the news on Tik Tok not popular enough?

hot?"

These words caused a roar of laughter, and from time to time there were a few whistles mixed in.

When the atmosphere at the scene gradually calmed down, Wang Zheng said again: "Phil International Group, as a start-up, we also hope to make a contribution to the development of the Internet. As we all know, PC is currently the most popular Internet tool, but it must not

Not to mention, it’s a bit too expensive.”

After pressing the remote control, a new page was displayed on the wall behind him. Wang Zheng calculated an account with his fingers.

"A PC host with mainstream configurations costs about US$400 on average."

"A mainstream operating system costs about US$200."

"If you have office needs, a set of word processing software costs about $200."

"Calculated, people have to spend at least 600 to 800 US dollars before they can get a relatively good Internet experience. And after using it for up to 4 years, they almost need to buy these things again."

"If users want to get more experiences, such as games, digital music, digital TV and other services, you have to spend more money."

Wang Zheng shook his head: "This is too expensive!"

What he said was recognized by many people. Wang Zheng changed his style and switched to the next page: "I believe everyone knows that we held the Ultron operating system developer conference yesterday. For the first Ultron operating system,

I also have a certain understanding of the Taiwan host S1 and the Ultron operating system."

"With a modular stacking structure, computing units and accessory units can be purchased on demand. We provide 8 types of accessories, with a total of 21 specifications for users with different needs to choose from."

After Wang Zheng briefly introduced the specifications and performance of each unit, he turned the topic to the topic that everyone was most concerned about.

"I know that what you are most concerned about is the product price. Let's put it this way, this time, I really have to lose money to my grandma's house."

"Ultron console S1, basic version, $199!"

Fuck!

The media in the audience were excited on the spot!

When introducing the configuration just now, Wang Zhengke said that the basic specifications are starting with a dual-core CPU, 1G memory, and 60G hard drive. This horse is only priced at 199?

What's going on?

A PC host with the same configuration, whether it is Dell or HP, costs at least about 350 US dollars. Moreover, the chassis is bulky and big, and it is really strong. If you put it there, you will have no courage to move it.

The Ultron S1 is compact and lightweight, not to mention scalable, it is simply invincible.

At this moment, the media people almost all thought about the focus of the news: the price butcher.

"We haven't finished talking yet. We'll start making trouble later."

Wang Zheng waved his hands and shouted loudly: "All series come with the Ultron operating system! Listen clearly, it comes with a bonus!"

This voice can be regarded as making the whole Grand Theater explode.

How dare you come with an operating system for $199?

This is not a question of price butchering. Are you here to do charity?

What Wang Zheng wants is this kind of effect. If he wants to promote it, he has to hit it off immediately. The slow-cooking method will gradually become less popular in the future.

The staff was asked to bring up a basic version of Ultron S1 and connect it to the projector. The PPT screen behind Wang Zheng immediately switched to the host interface.

When the scene became slightly quiet, Wang Zheng said with a relaxed smile: "Maybe you don't know what kind of product you can buy for 199 US dollars, let's turn it on!"

After saying that, under the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, he reached out and pressed the power switch on the top of the host.

The screen showed a slowly flowing Milky Way, with stars twinkling in the Milky Way. Soon, the stars gathered into the words "Ultron", and in less than 15 seconds, the login interface was directly entered.

This startup speed... is a bit outrageous.

Because solid-state drives are not yet popular at this time, the read and write speed of mechanical hard drives is quite low. It takes at least 30 to 40 seconds for the mainstream XP system to start. If it is used for a long time, it is common for the progress bar to scroll thirty or fifty times.

Something.

The Ultron system only takes 15 seconds to enter the login interface, which is much faster than the current win system and mac system.

"As you can see, the system is very simple inside. We use the flat design language that is consistent with Phil International's products. It is elegant, simple and absolutely efficient."

"At the same time, the system's operation method is also very consistent with the usage habits of most users."

This sentence caused bursts of laughter, and it was clear that he was copying Microsoft's operating habits.

There are not many icons on the desktop, only four, namely host, browser, software store, and cloud space.

Wang Zheng was operating the mouse and introduced the functions of the host one by one.

"All your files are stored in the host computer. You can clearly view everything except system files on the disk."

"As a browser, we directly integrated the WE browser, which is widely praised by users. It has powerful functions, good compatibility, and super fast speed, which is enough for you to browse 99.9% of the websites in the world.

By the way, if the remaining 0.1% of websites cannot be opened and you really need it, I suggest you find a website developer and quickly update those ancient codes."

After making a joke, Wang Zheng said sternly: "You know, 199 US dollars for a host plus an operating system is really a huge loss. So, I have to explain to you how we are going to make money off of you.

Money in your pocket.”

Wang Zheng opened the software store icon and said: "The software store, as the name suggests, is the place where you buy software."

"In the Ultron system, all software must be purchased from the software store and then installed. This means that even if you want to install WeChat, you have to purchase it from the software store."

In the most eye-catching recommendation column of the software store, Wang Zheng clicked on the "WeChat" purchase page.

In this independent page, there is a clear description of WeChat's functions, versions and other information, and there is also a rating area and comment area below.

"As you can see, a software that allows you to chat, video, and make free Internet calls with any user around the world only sells for 0 yuan... Did our staff get the price wrong?"

In the midst of joyful laughter, Wang Zheng clicked the purchase button, and WeChat immediately began to download through the Internet. About 20 seconds later, the installation was completed, and the WeChat icon appeared on the desktop.

"As you can see, our staff seem to often make such low-level mistakes. An office suite that is compatible with office files actually costs 0 yuan?!"

"Wow! "CS:GO", the sequel to the orthodox online version of "Half-Life", this game is also 0 yuan?!"

After Wang Zheng downloaded several 0-yuan commonly used software and games in succession, he spread his hands and sighed helplessly: "Everyone, can I stop releasing products? I feel that this product is not that perfect yet..."

The audience’s answer this time was surprisingly unanimous: “No!”

The sound wave almost blew off the roof of the Grand Theater.
