Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the first year of the new century is almost over.

    The New Year is always joyful because it means a new beginning and new hope.  However, the New Year of 2000 has a new meaning for many digital enthusiasts.

    Because at 8:00 pm on this day, Legend Technology Company will officially release their first mobile phone!

    In the past year, Legend Technology has been accompanied by a series of big moves, which can be said to have attracted a lot of attention. Meizu MP3 and MP4, which are popular all over the world, have made many people remember this previously unknown small company, and at the same time also remember  Its founder Liu Yufan

    Of course, what is more talked about is the grievances between Legend Technology and Soni Company.  Although many news cannot be written into the official media, this does not prevent people from discussing and speculating about the relationship between the two companies in private.  Soni is a veteran company in the global electronics industry, while Legend Group is an upstart in this field.  One has strong capital and market, and the other has the latest and most trendy technological products in its hands.  The collision between these two companies must be very exciting.

    Of course, before the conflict officially started, almost all media voices were overwhelmingly in favor of Soni Company. After all, the difference in strength between the two companies was too great.  However, the subsequent development of the matter was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.  Legend Technology only had two small products, which not only made Soni Company disgraced and shameless, but also made many other digital companies miserable.  This year, Legend Technology staged a business myth.  With two gadgets not much bigger than lighters, they swept the global digital product market and created a business myth.  According to incomplete estimates, Legend Group has made away at least nearly 600 million US dollars in both domestic and international markets through its two digital products, MP3 and MP4G!  This is definitely a scary number.  Even large multinational groups like Soni, Microsoft, and Apple cannot sit idly by with such a turnover!

    The direct consequence of this is the rapid rise in popularity of legendary technology.  Other companies that produce digital products are in mourning.  Looking at the global market, Legend Technology is almost the only player in the field of mobile playback devices.  It occupies nearly 60% of the market share, and the remaining 40% is mainly taken up by another giant, Apple.  There are about 30%, and the remaining 10% are some low-end markets, flooded with low-quality copycat products.

    As the former boss of mobile playback equipment, Suoni is the worst-hit company among these companies.  The CD player it is most proud of, which once sold nearly 200 million units around the world, has now been relegated to the cold side by the market and no one cares about it.  Although it made emergency repairs afterwards and developed a series of mp3 and mp4 products from Soni, it only competed in digital products.  It is a thing of "one step quickly and you will be full, one step slowly and you will have nothing to eat".  Legend Technology is now fully committed to this area and does not skimp on funds.  So it almost occupies the entire market.  Moreover, this company has a strong patent awareness, which is almost related to these two products. All patents that can be registered have been registered in advance.  This also makes Soni face the problem of production costs if it continues to develop these two products.  And it is impossible for it to ignore these competition rules like those small copycat companies.  It's a very troublesome thing for such a big company to be caught in the act of secretly producing some knock-off goods.  If a lawsuit really breaks out, regardless of the outcome, Suoni's brand image will definitely suffer a huge impact.  Brand image is the lifeblood of a company. If a company loses its brand image and loses its brand, it will not be far from bankruptcy.

    Therefore, Soni Company is in the most pain right now.  The pain doesn't stop there. What makes him even more depressed is that the stick of foreign companies that used to be unfavorable to Chinese companies seems to have failed this time.  No matter how high-level senior officials sent by Cement Co., Ltd. try to provide some convenience and help to Cement Cement Company through the government level, even Chairman Akio flew over personally and directly found the Minister of Commerce, but they have always attached great importance to the interests of foreign companies.  The Chinese government, this time, seems to have suddenly pretended to be confused. It neither clearly expressed support for Soni Corporation nor favored Legend Technology. It kept saying that competition would be left to the market and the government would only provide services.  The clay company was furious, but there was nothing they could do.

    Through this incident, an important message has also been conveyed, that is, this previously unknown legendary group is likely to have the support of powerful figures from the political circles.

    In this way, Soni Company was forced to enter the market again, and it had to rely on honest competition to fight for its own survival space.  Ordinarily, with its strength, even if it is a head-on competition, it may not be possible.Who are you afraid of, but this time the opponents are really too strong. They are like Doraemon in the anime "Nude Bang". They always seem to be able to take out some new and interesting things from their pockets, attracting the attention of the world.  The difference is that the Legend Group is not as weak as the big bear in Doraemon. On the contrary, it is very strong.  Such an opponent can easily make people feel powerless!

    Faced with this helplessness, some radicals at the top of Soni Company even proposed to use some "special means" to assassinate Liu Yufan, the soul of the Legend Group.  But this proposal was just the beginning and was rejected.  The reason is very simple. This thing cannot be touched easily. If you touch it, you cannot avoid it.  No matter how high-level a killer you hire, after the incident is successful, the killer organization and third-party insiders will become your lingering nightmare.  Moreover, the opponent is not an ordinary person. If he uses such drastic means, even if he succeeds, he will suffer endless revenge from the opponent. It is a lose-lose strategy and is not cost-effective.

    Some senior executives within Soni even made suggestions to cooperate with Legend Technology.  But obviously, this suggestion is not easy to accept.  Not to mention whether Legend Technology will agree to the cooperation conditions of Soni Company and let Soni Company be a long-established enterprise.  To take the initiative to lower your head and find a new and small company to cooperate with, this is really a good thing to say but not easy to hear.

    Large enterprises have the advantages of large enterprises, such as strong strength, mature market, and strong core competitiveness.  Big companies also have the disadvantages of big companies, the ship is too big.  It¡¯s hard to make a U-turn and there are too many internal conflicts.  Although Legend Group is developing rapidly now, compared to a large and established company like Soni.  If they could unite their opinions and use all their strength to deal with it, it would be difficult for the Legend Group to deal with it.  But the current problem is that the internal opinions of Soni Company are also in a state of unification.  The thing is in this endless discussion.  It was put on hold again and again.  There have been several counterattacks, but they were more probing than attacking.  Legend Group, on the other hand, took advantage of this rare pressure vacuum period to develop rapidly and become big in one fell swoop.  At the current scale, even Suoni has to carefully consider the cost if he wants to deal with the Legend Group.

    Today, Legend Group once again released a piece of bombshell news that it is going to make a mobile phone!

    Heard the news.  Mobile phone manufacturers around the world are in turmoil, especially established companies like Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, etc. After hearing the news, they held emergency internal company meetings overnight to discuss countermeasures.

    Relatively speaking.  Soni Company was secretly relieved.  Although Soni also has a production line for mobile phones, it also has a good brand - Soni Ericsson.  However, in the overall structure of the company, mobile phones are not particularly important.  Legend Entertainment produces mobile phones, so there is no direct threat to him.  However, the SLR cameras and video cameras it launched before caused heavy losses to Soni.  This time, Legend Technology switched to the production of mobile phones, which made Suoni's senior executives feel secretly relieved.

    The mud bombarded Guodongjing City.  The high-rise conference room of Suoni headquarters was brightly lit.

    It is already past seven o'clock in the evening. The more than ten directors participating in the meeting have been meeting since two o'clock in the afternoon. Until now, the discussion is still very intense and there is no intention of adjourning the meeting.

    "Legendary Group's involvement in the mobile phone field this time is, in my opinion, a huge mistake. It is a brand-new market and it is not easy to get involved. Legendary Group is now developing too fast and its business is too big.  This is not good for them at all, but it is good news for us. I think it won¡¯t be long before the market will slowly bring down the legend without us taking action." On the left side of Akio  One director spoke.

    "Yes, there is an old saying in China that you can bite off more than you can chew. This is what Legend Group did. It became a fat man in one breath. It looks very powerful, but it is just an embroidered pillow. It looks good on the outside but weak on the inside. Although his digital products  He has taken away a lot of profits from the market, but developing a mobile phone requires a lot of expenses. When his capital chain breaks, I believe he will die on his own without us taking action." Another.  The director echoed with a confident look.

    "The Legend Group is able to achieve today's achievements mainly because of one person - Liu Yufan. This guy is a genius, and his mind is the most powerful weapon. For him, we must not take it lightly and must be extremely energetic.  Okay!" Akio, who was sitting in the middle, said solemnly.

    "Chairman, let me tell you, if it really doesn't work, we will just" On Akio's left hand side, far away from him, a gloomy-looking director said in a deep voice. In line with his words, his hands were imaginary in the air.  A slash.

    "Yamato-kun, I warn you again, not to act without authorization! The other party is the chairman of a large group with assets worth billions, and his identity is very special.Same as Xiaoke.  Such methods must not be used on him. Although it has not been confirmed, I suspect that the Chinese government may have taken protective measures against him secretly.  If we do this, it will probably get us into even bigger trouble!  "When Akio heard this guy's words, he immediately frowned and interrupted him.

    Several other directors also showed a hint of disdain when they heard Yamato's words.  This Yamato is a martial artist. No matter what he encounters, he always thinks of using force to solve the problem. Now he is the major shareholder of Soni Company, with a net worth of more than one billion, and he shouts and kills every day. He has no technical content at all.  No, it¡¯s really despising.

    However, although he said words of opposition, Akio was very moved by this proposal in his heart.  To be honest, he wanted Liu Yufan to die more than anyone else at the scene.  For others, Liu Yufan and his legendary group.  It only touched their financial interests, but for Zhao Fu, Liu Yufan also killed his grandson.  Thinking of Tomura Junichi's previous excellent performances, Akio's heart was filled with anger!

    However, as the head of Soni Company, he must overcome his anger.  He must face all this more rationally, because it is on him.  Not only is it burdened with family affection, but it is also burdened with the expectations of hundreds of thousands of employees of Soni Group.

    "Okay, Legend Technology's press conference is about to begin. Let our company's people at the scene be ready and cut the scene in. We must clearly grasp the specific content of Legend Technology's new mobile phone, and then  Make a plan for the next step." Akio waved his hand.  commanded.

    Although everyone was a little hungry at this moment, seeing that the chairman had no intention of letting everyone eat, these people were embarrassed to make such a request, so they had to follow him and watch the huge projection in the conference room.

    In order to learn more about the details of the mobile phone released by Legend Technology this time, the intelligence team sent by Soni Company was unprecedentedly powerful. They even used satellites to set up a real-time broadcast system on site!

    Not only them, but at this moment, almost all mobile phone and digital device manufacturers around the world.  They all took similar actions and sent a large number of intelligence personnel to the press conference to find out the reality of this new product of Legend Technology.

    Finland, the world¡¯s largest mobile phone manufacturer and the headquarters of mobile phone overlord Nokia.  All eleven directors were also present.

    In front of them, there is also a huge projection screen, and what is currently displayed on it is the situation at the Works Sports Site in Beijing, China, thousands of miles away.  There are less than twenty minutes left before eight o'clock in the evening Beijing time.  Today is the traditional Western New Year, and sporadic fireworks have been set off outside the headquarters.  The festive atmosphere is strong, but here, the atmosphere is somewhat tense, without any joy of the approaching New Year.

    It¡¯s no wonder they are nervous. If any company were to launch a new mobile phone, Nokia would not be so concerned. After all, they are now the well-deserved leader in this industry. Compared with their competitors, they are  His own strength is already strong enough to ignore all their little moves.  According to their slogan, "Always imitated, never surpassed."  Nokia has been in the mobile phone industry for nearly two decades, and its various mobile phones have sold more than one billion units worldwide. This data makes them proud of any opponent who dares to compete with them.

    But tonight¡¯s opponent is different.

    This legendary group in China seems to have risen overnight. Just like its name, it has created two legends in just a few months!  Whether it is mp3 or mp4, they are revolutionary digital devices.  The hot sales of these two products and their impact on the global digital market have also made all digital product manufacturers feel deep fear.  Now, such a company that is good at creating miracles has extended its tentacles to the field of mobile phones.  Can it continue to perform miracles?  If it creates a miracle, then it will be a disaster for Nokia!

    "God bless, if the Chinese does something unexpected again, I'm afraid Nokia will come up with the ultimate weapon in advance." Nokia President Stephen thought to himself.

    The so-called ultimate weapon is the intelligent system that Nokia is secretly developing, code-named "Symbian".  This system is still under testing, but all data are close to maturity, and all that remains is the debugging of some details.  Originally, Nokia was planning to launch this new product at the CES global electronic equipment show in the middle of next year, and was in no rush now.  After all, his feature phones are still selling very well.  But the sudden attack of Legend Technology disrupted his position.

    Not only him, but the two giants in the communications industry, Samsung and Motorola, are also on the same level as Nokia at the moment.In many cases, their senior directors have no intention of celebrating the New Year at this moment. They all gathered together to pay attention to this new product launch conference of legendary technology!

    Far across the ocean, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is also paying close attention to this new product show.  Moreover, there was obviously a trace of nervousness on his face.  His expression made other leaders of the company a little strange.  Apple's current main business is MacBooks and iPods, and it has no plans to develop mobile phones.  The development of mobile phones by Legend Technology will not have much impact on Apple. Why is he so nervous?

    Looking at his colleagues, Gang Leader Qiao sighed secretly in his heart.  Here, few people understand his philosophy.  Just like when Apple's MacBooks were selling well, and they suddenly proposed to develop iPods, these people strongly opposed it.  However, with his persistence, iPod has achieved great success. Although he is now praised by everyone in the company, he cannot find the most important thing - understanding.

    Yes, he is a person who is always full of new ideas and impulses when it comes to digital products, and he pursues perfection.  Although he didn't bring it up, he already had the idea of ??a smartphone in his mind.  However, before he had time to say it, the Chinese on the other side of the ocean was already going to make the product.

    Although we still don¡¯t know what kind of mobile phone Legend Technology will launch, Jobs already had a vague hunch that it might be a smartphone.  He firmly believes that this thing will bring about earth-shaking changes in people's habits of using mobile phones and surfing the Internet!

    Sometimes, the people who know you best are not your friends, but your enemies.  .  .  )
