Chapter 525： [2 Polarized word of mouth and ... Azure-five? ...

The press conference was over, and the 128 directly-managed stores on the Côte d'Azur in China began to queue up for buying the next day. Such a grand event has not appeared for almost three years.

Azure-4 has become a new benchmark in the industry as soon as it is announced. Industry insiders and consumers are now discussing around this flagship machine, and the popularity is still high.

However, despite the high level of discussion, the external criticism of Azure-4 is polarized.

One side is strong, these people mainly include the "basic disk" of Azure smartphones, that is, **** fans, Luo Sheng fans, the rhythm of the explosion, all kinds of Azure-4 redefine the benchmark of smartphones, followed by just The technology blogger of Fan, of course, accepts the advertiser's money as a rhythm, and Azure-4 is also worthy of the name. So far, no friend has been able to match it.

On the other hand, it is criticized for singing down, mainly in the industry and the media industry. The point of criticism is that Azure-4 is too expensive to sell, it is really expensive.

The flagship products of domestic friends and businessmen are also selling two or three thousand yuan stalls, and the products of international friends are only daring to sell three or four thousand yuan stalls. They dare not mention it, like Samsung or Apple. Tried carefully to the high-end area.

The azure coast is good, come up and greet you 7888, few friends and businessmen can survive.

Many media are singing down the sales of Azure-4 may eventually be very bleak, although the product is very good, but the price is too high.

A friend in the industry sent a message on Weibo the night after the Azure-4 conference:

[It is meaningless for a friend to use a 2k screen for a screen less than 5 inches. It is completely in the consumer ’s wool. It ’s a bit too expensive to sell 7888 at the retail price of a mobile phone]

Also comes with two pictures, one is the front bright screen of Azure-4 mobile phone, and the other is the front bright screen of the latest product of the friend. It seems that the difference is not much, and the former costs 7888 yuan, while the latter costs only 1999 yuan.

The subtext is that consumers who choose the former are cut leeks and charged IQ tax. Do n’t be fooled, come to buy 1999, as long as 1999, you ca n’t buy a loss, you ca n’t be fooled ...

This news was released. The good things eat melons. The netizens immediately began to repost a large number of people after watching the excitement. Also, @ 罗 晟 的 微 博, fans on both sides began to quarrel with each other.

Was also glanced at the quarrel on Weibo by @ 罗 晟, but he ignored it for a while and ignored it, even less likely to bubble up.

The executives on the Cote d’ Azur will not jump out and interact with friends on the Internet. They were warned by BOSS a while ago.

Luo Sheng really does not care, and even steals a bit of music, because the two parties are noisy on Weibo, and the last thing they earn is Bluestar Technology. Weibo is an Internet social product owned by Bluestar Technology. The noisy both sides bring traffic and heat. .

Then, Bluestar Technology was Luo Sheng Enterprise again.

In this closed-loop Internet ecosystem, you can't lose anything.

Although there are occasional “interactions” between the Côte d’ Azur and its peers, of course, the Côte d’ Azur appears to be a bit colder, and generally the businessmen come up to “interact”.

But this kind of "interaction" is not so intense nowadays, because the entire smartphone industry is currently in the era of heavy volume, not the era of stock.

Simply put, although the competition in the smartphone industry has a tendency to move towards the Red Sea, all major brand manufacturers are eating right now, because the market is not fully saturated, and global shipments are always growing.

If it is an era of stocks, excess capacity may not be as harmonious as it is today, that is really the rhythm of life and death, and the mall is the battlefield.

But then again, a company on the Cote d'Azur took 80% of the industry's overall profit, which made many friends and businessmen jealous. After all, the profit was taken away by your family. The head is bleeding, so anyone who can give eye drops on the Cote d'Azur, or friends or businessmen, is still very enthusiastic.

The release of Azure-4 did not receive unanimous praise, but polarized criticism. The criticism is to attack the high price point. The intention is to inculcate Azure-4 mobile phone as a high-quality product. .

In fact, I also want to infuse consumers with things that are not beautiful, but the problem is that Azure is really beautiful, this is really black.

I am also very happy to see someone doing the Côte d'Azur, and it is also possible to do it by the way.

……

Côte d'Azur Laboratory.

Azure-4 flagship machine will wait a few days before meeting with consumers. The outside world is tearing up the noise, but Luo Sheng and the Cote d’ Azur team of engineers and business executives have already begun to silently lay out the next generation flagship product.

That is Azure-5. In fact, as early as the first half of the finalization of Azure-4, Azure-5 has begun iterative development. Now that Azure-4 is on sale, a large number of R & D engineer teams have begun to transfer to the development of next-generation products. Too.

"... The off-screen camera is not impossible, but there will be a series of new problems, and if the front-facing camera is placed under the screen, it will affect the 'screen window effect' of the picture. These shortcomings make the under-screen solution very real. difficult."

At this moment, in a conference room in the Cote d'Azur laboratory, the module technical experts of the Azure-5 project team gathered together and Luo Sheng was discussing technical issues.

Another engineer said: "Azure-4 has solved the problem of returning the physical keys on the original desktop. The off-screen fingerprint technology will definitely become popular. Then the off-screen camera is the focus of the next generation of development. Industrial design has been carried out since the beginning of 2012. It ’s basically done now, and the drawings have reached the stage of finalization. "

Everyone couldn't help but look at the participating Luo Sheng, who basically didn't speak much. The audience kept one hand on hips and the other on the conference table, leaning forward.

At this time, Luo Sheng said: "To put it bluntly, it is a breakthrough problem of new materials. If the graphene flexible screen is overcome, the" screen window effect "of the camera under the screen will be solved, so as to achieve a true 100% full screen.

To be honest, Luo Sheng is about to kill his obsessive-compulsive disorder for the front camera on the screen of his Azure-4 mobile phone. Whether it is the extreme screen solution, the water drop screen solution or the bangs screen solution, there is a black pimple on the screen The feeling is almost unbearable.

If you use a graphene flexible screen solution, you can achieve a screen light transmittance of more than 95%, and it can also support the advantages of bending and falling resistance. Such a solution can completely put the front camera under the screen. The "light screen effect" will not appear.

Luo Sheng added: "Since five years ago, the Côte d'Azur Laboratory has been demonstrating research on graphene preparation technology. From the first year, it will start with a research and development budget of US $ 1 billion, and every year thereafter will be US $ 1 billion. Additional, in the past five years, hit 15 billion US dollars, excluding the exchange rate changes and inflation rate of 100 billion yuan, what is the situation now? "

After finishing the speech, Luo Sheng turned to look at the technical director in charge of graphene technology.

The latter replied: "The progress has been harvested every year or even every month, but how long is it until the specific commercial time, President Luo ... You are the most aware of the technical research and development work, it is not easy to say, maybe next year It ’s done, maybe not ten years later. "

Science and technology research results do not have time to quantify indicators, not to say how long it can be done, Luo Sheng, who was also a scientist in the past, is of course very clear.

However, Luo Sheng is different now. The so-called buttocks determine the head. If you know the reason, you have to put pressure on the team. I saw him saying: "Azure-5 must be released in 2015, and it must be 100% true. The full-screen phone on the phone hides the front camera under the screen. Graphene screen technology must be made for me. "

The technical director of the graphene technology development department heard a bitter heart and was preparing to speak. Luo Sheng first said to him:

"Do n’t complain to me. I know you have difficulties. Who is innovating? Is n’t it difficult to innovate? I ’ll allocate RMB 100 billion in R & D budget to your department separately next year. If 100 billion is not enough, 200 billion yuan, your department's development team can give priority to whatever resources you want, go hand in hand, and at any cost, at any cost, I will overcome the new material problem. "

The other technology development teams at the meeting couldn't help but smack their mouths. BOSS is a crazy rhythm. This is really at the cost and at the cost.

It is necessary to know that the overall R & D investment cost of Azure-4 mobile phone is only 1.88 billion US dollars. Of course, this is because the Blue Coast Company has enjoyed the dividends of technology precipitation for so many years.

The company is no longer without any background in 2004, and today's Cote d'Azur is also accumulating its own technical background.

But everyone does not envy that the graphene technology development department can obtain such a strong resource tilt, because this is really not an easy job, as much pressure as there is for the funds.

Such a large resource tilt ~ www.novelhall.com ~ such a terrible financial investment, but as long as the graphene technology is breakthrough, the future income is also incredible, which will bring ten times, tens of times, or even a hundred times. Will lead to a revolution in the field of new materials science, and then bring unprecedented technological disruption in the application scenario.

At this time, the director of the graphene technology development department looked at Luo Sheng and said: "Okay! But President Luo, but I want to borrow a research team from you!"

Luo Sheng: "If you have any requirements, just say it, give everything you can, and I will try my best to help you get what you can."

The other party said immediately: "I want to borrow your Liu Jianwei team from Star Arrow International. I don't want to hide that I have been staring at Professor Liu half a year ago."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, you really can pick up the baby. Then, people, I will invite you over."

The team of Liu Jianwei is the key to Star Arrow ’s realization of the space ladder, but such a century-level super project is too far away, and it can be lagging behind for several years. Luo Sheng is also confident that he can persuade Liu Jianwei to participate in the research of graphene material technology. Playing with the carbon atom.

Convincing Liu Jianwei is actually not difficult. After all, he is a visionary of the space ladder, but he needs to invest a lot of money to make money first, so he came to the Cote d’ Azur in order to lay the foundation for the future of Star Arrow International.

Simple scientists like Liu Jianwei, it is impossible to withstand the sudden flickering of the story king Luo Sheng, then they must not obediently pack up and bring the team to the Azure Coast Laboratory for graphene technology?

With the passage of time, the release date of the Azure-4 mobile phone national bank version has officially arrived.
