Reinventing the Millennium

Yike's press conference has not ended yet, and amazing news about this year's flagship mobile phone products are already flying all over the sky.

Flagship-level functions, hardware that surpasses flagships, and amazing progress in baseband chips... There is no doubt that Yike Mars will dominate the next smartphone market.

Samsung, Apple, and Yike are called the "Three Royals" as a proof that they have already consolidated the high-end mobile phone market, and these three have always been similar, each with its own user camp.

But now, Yike's flagship mobile phone has a chip performance that is a generation higher, which is simply knocking Apple and Samsung down a dimension out of thin air.

Are you still a high-end phone?

Oh, still.

Then Yike is a high-end high-end phone.

"Since 2007, the evolution of Yike's mobile phone products is the development history of smartphones, including smartphone systems, front cameras, physical buttons, 3G communications, glass cover, CMOS sensors, fingerprint recognition, self-designed processors, 4G communications, and face recognition..."

"From ingenuity to core dominance, from industry dark horse to high-end dominance, Yike has integrated the progress of software and hardware to bring perfect mobile phone products to global consumers."

On Weibo, 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 release of the next product. Instead, Liu Qiangdong, president of Yike Huaxia, took the stage to introduce this year's replacement Selfy mobile phone, smart watch, Galaxy tablet, Yike notebook and multiple smart home ecological cooperation products.

This autumn press conference is the one with the most products released in history.

However, compared with the performance of the Mars series, although these products are also innovative, they are far less influential and impactful than the flagship products.

Some of the audience were still concentrating on listening to the new products, some media reporters were editing the content of the reports quickly, and some were absent-mindedly considering the changes brought by Yike this time.

Fang Zhuo sat in the first row, occasionally whispering to Professor Hu, Dr. Liang and others next to him, but mainly listening carefully to Dongzi's introduction.

There was a constant buzz of discussion in his ears, and flash lights were lit from time to time behind him. Dongzi on the stage seemed a little nervous, and occasionally stuttered when speaking, but it did not affect the overall situation. The mobile phone in his pocket was vibrating intensively, nothing more than various congratulations and greetings.

Fang Zhuo gradually became distracted, and when several rounds of applause sounded and subsided, his eyes suddenly focused.

The Yike autumn press conference, which lasted for two hours, ended.

"Do you want to be interviewed?" Fang Zhuo did not get up immediately, and asked Professor Hu, Dr. Liang and Mr. Qiu about their wishes.

The three of them shook their heads. This was agreed before coming.

In fact, Liang Mengsong was still reluctant to come. He was happily pulled into the car by Hu Zhengming before coming together.

"Okay, we'll have a celebration party later." Fang Zhuo said.

Liang Mengsong was quite straightforward: "Let's wait for the yield rate to climb 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: "I have confidence in starting the battle to increase the yield rate and defend the production capacity of 16nm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen of the mobile phone in his hand lit up. He looked down at it, with a complicated expression and some excitement, and said directly: "It's a call from NVIDIA."

Several people nodded. There is no doubt that NVIDIA called at this time for Bingxin's 16nm process technology, which can help Yike Mars become the world's first mobile phone product, and naturally it can also help other manufacturers.

Intel has officially announced that the 14nm processor will be launched in Q1 next year, but it does not provide foundry services to the outside world.

And Taiji's 16nm also has a clear plan. According to the current information, large-scale mass production will not be carried out until April at the earliest.

With nearly half a year of leading time, manufacturers with demand will naturally consider whether they can catch up. Moreover, NVIDIA has previously tried to cooperate with Bingxin on mobile processors.

"It's noisy here, I'll go and get busy first." Qiu Ciyun said so, and after pressing the phone, he said "hello" and "hello" to the other party.

"Mr. Fang, you are busy. The reporters behind are eager to move, and it's scary to watch." Hu Zhengming looked back at the media reporters approaching from the aisle.

Fang Zhuo nodded, and there was no need to say more on this occasion.

He moved his feet, and the reporters behind him squeezed to come forward as soon as they saw Mr. Fang moving, and this squeeze brought more reporters.

As the most popular and anticipated mobile phone launch conference this year, the Yike Center gathered many reporters from all over the world. One reporter hesitated and lost sight of the head of Yike, and quickly directed his colleagues in front in French.

"Don't let Mr. Fang go, the guy in the shirt in the first row!"

The French reporter was squeezed from the aisle to his seat just after he shouted. 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 been to France at the beginning of the month. Although he couldn't understand French, he could hear it. He looked curiously and didn't see anything. He could only look at the impatient media and smiled helplessly: "There is a question and answer session. I'm not leaving. Why are you in a hurry?"

What's the hurry?

Most of them want a good position for an interview.

The reporters gradually formed a circle in front and back, setting up an interview venue directly in the front row.

Fang Zhuo looked around, gave up the idea of ​​changing the venue, and said with a smile: "I'm glad to see everyone's enthusiasm for the Yike press conference. Let's make a long story short. In fact, everything I should say was said at the press conference, and Mr. Liu did the same. It’s also very detailed.”

The reporters ignored him and threw questions in both Chinese and English directly at Fang Zhuo's face.

Fang Zhuo listened for ten seconds, then directly stepped in to maintain the order of the interview, and decisively said to a domestic reporter: "You ask first."

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I am Fan Qigao, a reporter from Shanghai Securities News." Looking at his young age, Fan Qigao paused and asked his first question, "Mr. Fang, I want to ask, is Yike the number one in the world at that time?" ah?"

Fang Zhuo laughed loudly after hearing this question: "Just today, just today."

This question has its origin. Last year, when Fang Zhuo was browsing on Weibo using his account, he retweeted a fan-edited video about the development history of Yike mobile phones. The title of the video clip at that time was the reporter's current question: "When is Yike?" No. 1 in the world”, and it also comes from a movie line.

When Fang Zhuo reposted it at the time, he gave a similar answer as in the movie - I don't know, I'm just talking.

Now, he gave a completely different answer than before - just today, just today.

Many people who follow Mr. Fang’s news remembered this origin and started laughing. Domestic reporters who were not paying attention also laughed just by listening to the question and answer.

However, the foreign media reporters were a little bit unable to get the laugh. They only felt that this was Mr. Fang’s confidence. I wonder if everyone had any more reasons to be happy.

Fan Qigao wanted to ask again, but saw that Mr. Fang had already reached out and nodded to someone else. He felt regretful and felt that he had made a good start.

"Mr. Fang, Yike Mars series mobile phones use 16nm Zhurong chips this time. Is this production capacity enough? Where are the first countries and regions to be launched?" A reporter from the Financial Times asked a more critical question.

It was only then that Fang Zhuo suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to mention this when he was on stage.

No, it should have been displayed on the screen at that time.

The first batch of Yike Mars series mobile phones was 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, and Spain.

"The production capacity is sufficient, and there are no restrictions like when we sold full-screen screens before." This half of Fang Zhuo's answer made some foreign media reporters feel heavy, and he added, "So, I also take this opportunity to say that you don't have to worry about buying Not long ago, our official website, the first batch of cooperative operators in China, the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and domestic e-commerce have all started pre-sales. The arrival time will be based on the logistics situation in each place. If there are no surprises, it will be available in 10-14 days. receive."

Because Christmas is approaching abroad, Yike has concentrated its sales this year to maximize sales in the traditional peak season.

The words of the head of Yike are very straightforward, which makes people who have doubts about the 16nm production capacity of ice core no longer think about it.

Judging from the sales strategy of Yike mobile phones, it is completely sufficient supply, which means that this time the lead of 16nm is basically true.

What does this mean?

If Yike and Bingxin are allowed to develop together in this way, Yike dominates the high-end, and Bingxin suppresses Taiji, wouldn't such a cycle be a quick one?

In addition, Yike has achieved development in the baseband field that is almost as good as Qualcomm's, and this is only one year after its baseband breakthrough last year.

From point to line to surface, such turbulent development really made some foreign media reporters present look solemn.

Fang Zhuo named a foreign reporter who looked familiar, but he was from the Wall Street Journal.

"Mr. Fang, is it too late for me to unsubscribe from iPhone 6S?" The Wall Street Journal reporter first said this, which may represent the voice of some users, and then asked, "Yike has made a gratifying breakthrough this time. Well, you What do you want to say to your competitors?”

"Competitor?" Fang Zhuo was confused, "Huh?"

The reporter thought Mr. Fang didn't understand, so he repeated it again.

Fang Zhuo raised his hand and made a lookout gesture, then spread his hands.

There was laughter all around, okay, Mr. Fang is looking at his competitors, where are they?

There is no opponent!

"With full market competition, I have enough confidence in Yike's investment, R\u0026D, products, and innovation." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I don't know if Cook was watching the press conference, but I did Occasionally I think of an old friend.”

Reporters understand that some people who are familiar with Cook feel that... Cook, who has to admit the mistake of last year's cheap strategy this year, may be heartbroken...

But you can’t blame Cook for this!

This is a breakthrough in ice cores!

That thing about ice core, that thing... Oh yes, it was also founded by Mr. Fang.

All the responsibility lies with Mr. Fang!

"Mr. Fang, do you think Samsung and Apple mobile phones are still competitive in the face of Mars?" Another foreign media reporter asked a question with a similar meaning.

"Let the market answer this question. Although I am confident, in the end it still depends on the market performance." Fang Zhuo replied, "I believe in Mars."

At this moment, a reporter who was following Nasdaq shouted out - it's up! Skyrocketed!

The consumer market still needs time to answer the question, and the secondary market first responded eagerly.

When Nasdaq opened, Yike's stock price soared 9%, directly setting a new high in stock price, and its market value exceeded US$350 billion!

At the same time, the stock prices of Apple and Samsung both fell, which can be regarded as a part of the release of Yike Mars.

The stock prices in the secondary market stimulated the hearts of reporters, and their enthusiasm for interviews became even higher.

Fang Zhuo patiently answered questions, and also answered some slightly sensitive questions about ice cores. This continued for an hour, and the time was getting late.

"That's it for today. After a whole press conference, I was dazzled by you asking questions like this again." Fang Zhuo raised his hands, suppressed the questions that were still being thrown out, and said with a smile, "Everyone who is here today , I personally give you a Mars, hoping to keep a souvenir together. No matter what I say on stage, the hands-on experience is the most practical. You are the first users in the world to get the mobile phone.”

Mr. Fang’s words made all reporters’ eyes light up.

The actual experience of Mars 8.8 can directly write a report. If you compare it with competing products, it will be another report, and it is indeed very memorable.

Many reporters directly considered sealing it.

Reporter Liu Zonghong of the outer circle promptly asked media friends to register nearby and bring their mobile phones early tomorrow morning.

Fang Zhuo accepted another congratulations from the media and expressed his gratitude again with a smile.

After such a round of interviews, his back was slightly sweaty. He threw the clothes he had been carrying back to his secretary and quickly left the press conference.

"Mr. Fang..." There are people waiting outside. This is not surprising. What is strange is that the head of Sohu, Zhang Chaoyang, has also been waiting outside for a long time.

"Brother Chaoyang!" Fang Zhuo hugged him in a good mood.

"Congratulations." Zhang Chaoyang's mood was a little complicated. He first congratulated him and then said, "It's true that the horse is the red rabbit, and the plane is Mars! No. 1 in the world, and it is well-deserved!"

Fang Zhuo laughed loudly, turned around and said: "When I go back, I will tell Tesco to use Brother Chaoyang's message. The horse will be the red rabbit, and the machine will be Mars."

"Of course, and you. I heard Qi He's willingness to acquire Yike on behalf of Yike, and so do you." Zhang Chaoyang gave a thumbs up, "Fang Zhuo among the people!"

Fang Zhuo pressed Zhang Chaoyang's thumb with his palm and said with a smile: "I really take it as a compliment. Brother Chaoyang, a father is a father. Let's not talk about that. We will keep it private. If you are willing, I will take it as a gift to my brother." ”

Before Zhang Chongyang could speak, he saw Mr. Fang's secretary Liu Zonghong approaching with a serious look on his phone. Mr. Fang only glanced at the screen and immediately signaled to answer the call first.

"Fang Zhuo, you said you were going to push up the stock price, but you didn't say you were pushing it like this." A rare voice came from the shadow shareholder himself on the phone.

"Ah? Whether it's Yike or Bingxin, the stock price will hit a new high this time. We just make money." Fang Zhuo replied innocently.

Don't worry about how you push it, just see if it's high this time.

There was no sound on the phone, but it didn't hang up either.

Fang Zhuo also kept silent, just making money, our relationship is purely about making money.

"Congratulations on achieving such impressive results." The shadow shareholder said again before hanging up the phone.

"Ask Mr. Kong to call Austin and talk about funding." Fang Zhuo returned the phone to Liu Zonghong and told him that any time he can buy is worth fighting for.

Zhang Chaoyang saw Mr. Fang coming back with a serious face and asked, "What?"

"Congratulations from a leader." Fang Zhuo adjusted his expression and smiled naturally.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zonghong hurried over and whispered: "Mr. Fang, Qualcomm is voting, and Chen Fuyang is leading."

Zhang Chaoyang was also shocked when he heard this sentence. He naturally knew what was happening at Qualcomm. That Chen Fuyang was actually ahead of Jacob?

Good guy, even though Qualcomm directly sacrificed a leader, it also wanted to give a gift to Yike!
