Chapter 552 Smartphone Launch Conference (Part )
"nervous?"

Arriving at the backstage lounge, Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing and said with a smile.

"A little bit. We'll be done here at three or four o'clock. I'll have someone go out and buy a meal."

Zhou Jing gave Gu Jia a banana.

"No, do you miss your little cotton jacket?"

Gu Jia took out her cell phone from her bag, opened the photo album and handed it to Zhou Jing.

"Will Zhou Zhou cry and not sleep at night if we are not around?"

Of course Zhou Jing wanted to. In the album there were photos and videos that Gu Jia took of the child last night. Zhou Jing opened a video. In the video, a little girl in a cute nightgown was sitting on the bed and shouting "Daddy, Daddy".

“I should cry.”

This is the first time that Gu Jia and Zhou Jing are not in BJ since the child was born. The child will probably cry at night and in the morning.

"I watch videos on my computer to soothe myself at night."

After looking at the photos, Zhou Jing returned the phone to Teacher Gu.

"I see how you dress. If you are handsome, you will look good in any clothes."

Gu Jia asked the boy to stand straight, looked him up and down, and then straightened his clothes. The boy was sunny and handsome, with an upright figure. He wore a pure white shirt without a logo. His chest was slightly lifted by his upright pectoral muscles, which added a bit of masculinity to him.

"Is Tang Du hotter than BJ?"

Zhou Jing reached out and touched Gu Jia's waist. Teacher Gu had a good figure to begin with, and her waist looked even thinner in the slim-fit jeans. Her figure became even more graceful after giving birth.

"The summer in Tangdu feels airtight."

Gu Jia returned to Tangdu for the first time from May Day last year to August this year. She has gained a lot in the past year. The company has developed smoothly. The biggest gain is that her child was born safely and is growing up healthily. He can already call dad and mom. Gu Jia's life has been complete in the past year.

After resting with Gu Jia for a while, Zhou Jing went backstage to prepare.

Bai Xiyao specially found a makeup artist today to do Zhou Jing's hair before the press conference started. Bai Xiyao didn't just find a random makeup artist, she hired a senior stylist for half a day and paid five thousand yuan.

The stylist arrived at the conference hall at one o'clock and prepared in the dressing room for Zhou Jing to go in.

“Is this the smartphone your company is going to release?”

The makeup artist was doing makeup for the boss of a large company, and she was very careful. She noticed a smartphone that Zhou Jing had placed on the table, which she had never seen before, and asked.

"Correct."

Zhou Jing said while looking at the makeup artist in the mirror.

"The appearance design is very beautiful. Ideal mobile phones and speakers should sell very well. I have seen many around me. I bought a white square Bluetooth speaker, which is very convenient to use."

The makeup artist looked at Zhou Jing's figure in the mirror, considering how to style her.

“It sold well in the first half of the year. This time, we will launch an upgraded version of the Bluetooth speaker, which enables voice control.”

Zhou Jing said with a smile on his face.

“It sounds very technological.”

"."

Not long after finishing her makeup, representatives and leaders from China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom Tangdu headquarters and various universities in Tangdu arrived at the Great Hall one after another. The important figures did not have to go through the front door, but entered from the backstage. Zhou Jing greeted them outside the back door of the Great Hall.

“I wish Ideal Smartphone great success.”

The last important figures to arrive were the Provincial Party Secretary, the Director of the Science and Technology Department and others. As soon as the Party Secretary got out of the car, he gave his blessing to Ideal Technology.

"Thank you Secretary Qin for your concern. We will do our best to work for our province's science and technology industry. Welcome everyone. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and encourage and support Ideal Technology."

Zhou Jing stretched out both hands to shake hands, being very humble.

"Mr. Zhou is young and promising. Such a technological feast is rare in our Tang City."

"."

"Hello, Secretary Qin."

Zhou Jing shook hands with Qin and greeted the other visitors, and other executives of Ideal Technology followed suit and shook hands with Qin.

"Xiao Gu is still so beautiful. The last time I saw you was in Yu City. It has been four or five years."

Qin recognized Gu Jia and shook hands with Gu Jia directly, skipping the two executives of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.

"Secretary Qin, long time no see."

Gu Jia smiled slightly and bowed slightly to shake hands.

Seeing Qin take the initiative to shake hands with Gu Jia, the people present at Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. were quite surprised. The background of this boss lady was indeed extraordinary. If she could make Qin take the initiative to shake hands, then the boss lady must have an institutional background, and her level was not lower than Qin's. The company's executives thought that the provincial *** secretary also had the surname Gu, and had worked in Yulin City before. The boss's first company, Bowei Network, was started in Yulin City. They roughly guessed Gu Jia's background.

Zhou Jing was not surprised that Qin knew Gu Jia. With a background like Gu Jia, everyone in the province who could name her should know her.

After receiving all the important people, Zhou Jing asked Fang Ming to confirm that no one was missed on the invitation list before returning to the backstage.

"Qin** was promoted to his current position last year, and my dad voted for him."

Gu Jia followed Zhou Jing and whispered.

"I see."

Zhou Jing understood. No wonder Qin cared so much about Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. Father Gu was one of the senior officials and his vote carried a lot of weight.

A reporter from the provincial TV station arrived backstage at the Great Hall and invited Zhou Jing to do a brief interview before the press conference.

The live TV interview was a segment that had been arranged in advance. Zhou Jing was mentally prepared. He simply adjusted his clothes and the makeup artist fixed his hair. Then Zhou Jing walked towards the camera.

After the photographer confirmed it, he made an OK gesture to the reporter to indicate that everything was ready to begin.

"Good afternoon, audience friends. Before the Ideal Smartphone Launch Conference begins, we are very honored to invite Mr. Zhou Jing, founder and CEO of Ideal Technology. Please let Mr. Zhou Jing say hello to everyone."

After the reporter's opening remarks, he handed the microphone to Zhou Jing.

"Good afternoon, dear audience friends."

During the first live interview, Zhou Jing looked calm, as the provincial TV station only watched people from the province.

Time was limited, so the interview ended with a few brief sentences. Less than half an hour before the press conference started, the big screen on the stage was playing a video shot and recorded by Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., which was considered an ideal advertising video.

The technical team of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. always pays attention to the status of multimedia equipment.

The videos are professionally produced, with people from the company acting as users using various ideal products.

In the clip introducing the Bluetooth speaker, Passerby A sorted out the tangled charging and data cables before using a traditional wired small speaker. He frantically and took some time to sort out the cables. As a result, the speaker data cable did not match the device, and the device's jack had a small hole. Just when Passerby A was at a loss, Passerby B appeared.

Passerby B uses Ideal Bluetooth speaker, turns on his phone and speaker and starts playing music.

"Is this your speaker? How do you play it without a cable?"

Passerby A said in surprise.

"This is an ideal Bluetooth speaker. It can be connected to a computer or a smartphone with one click. This ideal phone can also be connected with one click. You can listen to it anytime, anywhere."

Passerby B introduced patiently.

Passerby A: "How amazing! Is it expensive?"

Passerby B: "It's only about 80 yuan."

Passerby A: "Wow, it's so cheap, I'll go buy it now."

Passerby B: "Don't worry, I heard that Ideal will soon release an upgraded version of its smart speaker that can be controlled by voice!"

Passerby A: "It sounds very high-tech! So exciting!"

"Has Ideal Bluetooth speaker been upgraded?" "Will it be released together with smartphone today?"

"What does voice-controlled speakers mean? Does it mean I don't have to manually change songs by just shouting?"

"That's really cool."

At this time, the conference hall was almost full. They noticed the easter eggs in the video and broke out into a low voice of discussion. They suddenly felt that the Bluetooth speakers in the gift package given by Ideal Technology were not so good.

Sharp digital bloggers opened their phones and posted as soon as possible [In addition to smartphones, Ideal’s press conference today may also have surprises, such as smart speakers that can be controlled by voice. Are you looking forward to wireless + voice control?]

All domestic mobile phone manufacturers are paying attention to the Ideal smartphone launch conference today and watching the live broadcast on Tangdu TV. Every time a manufacturer releases a new product, other manufacturers will pay attention to it, as the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy.

After seeing the digital blogger’s post, other mobile phone manufacturers had a bad feeling that the six-month technical protection period of the Ideal Bluetooth Speaker’s technical patent was about to end. They had already obtained accessories from the Ideal Bluetooth Speaker supply chain and produced and stocked them, ready to start selling them as soon as the six months were over. As a result, they fell behind before it even went on the market?

Especially the Xmi, which has been very popular in recent days since its press conference was held on the 1999th. From the grapevine, we learned that Ideal will launch a smartphone priced at around 2 yuan. If it is true and the performance is ok, then the Mi with a starting price of will have no advantage at all. If Ideal also launches a so-called smart speaker, it will be a bomb.

Mr. Lei, who had been so impressive at the Mi 2 launch conference on the th, was looking at Tang Duyi with a worried look on his face.

“The video was shot very well.”

In the preparation room, Zhou Jing said to his bestie Bai.

"It cost a lot of money. The video is less than 20 minutes long and cost more than 2 million."

In order to shoot and produce a good warm-up video for the press conference, Bai Xiyao not only hired an excellent recorder, but also found the best advertising company team in Tangdu to create it. The video, which was less than 20 minutes long, cost more than 2 million yuan.

"value."

Zhou Jing didn't think it was expensive. Advertising is expensive. The video of the press conference has to be carefully produced. The Bluetooth speaker video alone is worth half a million.

"A lot of people came."

Gu Jia said as she looked at the live TV screen in the preparation room.

Bai Xiyao said: "The hall can seat more than 1,500 people in total, and there should be more than 1,400 people here."

At 2:20, Zhou Jing got up and went backstage to prepare for the stage.

"Hold the cue card in your hand. It will be too obvious if you forget the words."

It was Zhou Jing who went on stage, and Bai Xiyao felt that she was more nervous than Zhou Jing.

Bai Xiyao has been looking forward to this day for more than two years. She started her business with Zhou Jing in the winter of 09. At the beginning, when Zhou Jing said he wanted to make mobile phones, Bai Xiyao felt it was a bit unrealistic. After establishing Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. in May 10, the two formally determined the goal of setting up a software company and making mobile phones. After setting up a software company in BJ in March last year, they officially launched the mobile phone project. Last winter, they acquired an electronics factory in Tangdu and put mobile phone manufacturing on the agenda.

After the Spring Festival holiday this year, the company began mass production of Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones and put them on the market. They became popular due to their unique functions. In late April, the company began testing the first generation of smartphones. Although the company has developed smoothly, Bai Xiyao has paid a lot. As a young girl, she treats herself like a man.

“It’s impossible to forget the words.”

After gradually adapting to the powerful brain after his rebirth, Zhou Jing was able to remember everything he saw. He could even recite fluently the English texts in high school that he had never remembered after reading them once.

"Hold it in your hand for safety."

Gu Jia kept an eye on Bai Xiyao and became more and more impressed with the girl in front of him. A girl of twenty-four or twenty-five years old managed the two companies in Tangdu so well. The girl's frank personality made Gu Jia have no doubts about her relationship with Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing took out the inscription card and flipped through it.

"Mr. Zhou, it's almost half past two."

At 2:27, press conference planner Chen Yu said.

“Start on time.”

Zhou Jing checked the headset and remote control.

[Dear ladies and gentlemen, the launch of Ideal Technology's first generation smartphone is about to begin. Let us welcome Mr. Zhou Jing, founder, chairman and CEO of Ideal Technology, and chief designer of Ideal mobile phones]

The countdown reached 2:30, and Chen Yu switched the big screen image on time. Then the lights in the hall were turned off, and the big screen showed the image of [Zhou Jing] [founder, chairman, CEO of Ideal Technology, and chief designer of Ideal mobile phones].

Zhou Jing trotted two steps and walked to the center of the front stage amid the sound of inspiring music and the flashing lights.

"clap clap"

"Wow, so handsome!"

"Oh"

There was warm applause from the audience, and some girls shouted excitedly.

"Dear guests, dear friends, good afternoon, welcome to the Ideal Smartphone Launch Conference."

Zhou Jing turned on his headset and spoke loudly. Before the echo in the hall had faded away, warm applause rang out from the audience again.

"thank you all."

After the opening remarks, the press conference officially began. Zhou Jing used the remote control to switch the PPT, and the screen switched to [Ideal First Generation Smartphone]

"I first came into contact with a smartphone in 09, when I was a senior in college, and I truly felt the charm of technology, especially the iPhone 4, which made me re-understand mobile phones and made me realize that a mobile phone can be so powerful."

"I deeply realize that smartphones are the center of future technology. iPhones are smooth and slick, but they are too expensive for ordinary people to afford. Domestic smartphones are developing rapidly. In some aspects of experience, domestic smartphones are better than iPhones, but they are far from being as smooth and slick as iPhones."

"The reason is that the software system and ecosystem of iPhone are far superior to other brands. In order to achieve the same smooth experience as iPhone and to allow ordinary people to experience a smoother smartphone, I decided to try it myself. I majored in applied mathematics in college. Starting from 09, I spent two years in-depth self-study of software programming and mobile phone hardware knowledge. In 11, which is last year, I founded Chuangzhi Technology Software Company in BJ."

"You may not be familiar with Chuangzhi Technology, but you should be familiar with Happy Elimination, Rhythm Master, Happy Landlord, Tiantian Cool Run, and the graphic social networking site P Station. These mobile phone applications are all developed by Chuangzhi Technology."

Zhou Jing spoke completely without a script and first introduced the development process of Ideal smartphones.

"Wow, it turns out that these are all made by their company, that's amazing."

"I really like playing Match 3 and Run Everyday."

"Me too."

"I was a senior in 09, so how old are you this year?"

"Looks like twenty-six at most."

"so amazing."

"."

A low murmur broke out from the audience.

"We have spent more than a year to develop Chuangzhi Technology Software Company into a first-class domestic smartphone application software development company. At the same time, after in-depth research on the smartphone system ecosystem, we have comprehensively optimized its underlying structure and architecture based on the Android operating system architecture, which has qualitatively improved the system stability and fluency, which is our ideal mobile OS."

"Because of our focus, we are professional. Ideal OS has only one competitor, which is iPhone. It allows people who cannot afford iPhone to enjoy the smooth experience like chocolate."

Zhou Jing then introduced the soul operating system of the smartphone. The biggest advantage of Ideal smartphones compared to other domestic phones is the software system, so let’s talk about the system, then the unique functions of Ideal phones. As for the hardware, I will just read out the parameters. The hardware of mobile phones of the same level are basically the same, and the key lies in the tuning of software and hardware.

Nowadays, domestically produced smartphones are all assembled in factories, so there is no need to brag about the hardware.

Before developing the mobile phone system, Zhou Jing thought about directly making an independent closed system like iPhone, but it is not feasible at present.

Domestic smartphones all use Android, and the biggest problem is developing system software adaptation independently.

In order to make the price more acceptable, after introducing Ideal 1, Zhou Jing did not announce the price, but went on to introduce Fantasy 1.

"Although the Changxiang series is positioned as a low-end phone, with the support of Ideal OS, the system stability and smoothness are comparable to those of mid-range phones. Take the most performance-intensive mobile game Tiantian Kupao as an example. The Changxiang 1 is not inferior to many phones priced over yuan in terms of the speed of entering the software and the smoothness after entering the software."

Since the big screen could not project, Zhou Jing could only give a simple manual demonstration on the spot.

"The news from the digital blogger is interesting. A few days ago, he said Ideal will release a mid-range phone priced at more than 2,000 yuan and a low-end phone priced at 1,300 or 1,400 yuan. It seems to be true."

"It would be incredible if a phone that costs 1,300 or 1,000 yuan had a smoother system than other phones that cost more than 2,000 yuan."

"how much is it?"

Someone in the audience shouted out the issue that everyone was most concerned about: price.
