Reinventing the Millennium.

When the press conference was over, Fang Zhuo was not idle at all.

In addition to answering calls from some friends in China, he even tactfully rejected the company's internal celebration banquet proposal.

What are you celebrating?How to celebrate?
It's not you who are sweating and changing phones on stage!

It's not you who accidentally embarrass yourself in front of the whole world!

Fang Zhuoren was on the stage, completely unaware of the viewing effect of the press conference, and only planned to pay attention to the reaction of public opinion if he had time to see if there was any real feedback.

That night, in fact, the Audio-Technica, which had just been kneaded before the press conference, held a promotion meeting in full swing.

Don't look at Legere's good words on the stage, don't look at the three leaders who took a selfie with Mars and sent it to Facebook, don't look at the name of the global partner, they all know what happened before the meeting It's a mess.

However, both Schmidt and Fang Zhuo wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but Legere evaded it in various ways and just reviewed the press conference, believing it to be successful, shocking, and widely influential.

He said that he had to digest the impact of this press conference, to see the release of the iPhone three days later, and then get together again to continue to implement this "global partner" thing.

After a busy day, Fang Zhuo felt that he could not force cooperation, so he had to make another appointment.

The fake Audio-Triangle meeting ended, and later, he followed up with attending the seminar of the project team of the R&D center, which can be regarded as a slight expression of his boss's dissatisfaction with the progress.

Usually, Fang Zhuo was never willing to put pressure on the team because of his own positioning, but he had to give some attitude when he really experienced Mars' frequent black screen and abnormal fever on major occasions.

They wanted to poach people, but they did so at a high price.

I want to buy it, and I bought it for real money.

The press conference has passed this time, so I won’t say more, and the release in December must not be delayed because of the quality of the mobile phone!
The seminar ended very late. Seeing that the boss looked calm and did not feel the joy of a successful conference, the project team discussed several times and seriously updated the schedule again.

Xu Keden tried his best to be sincere and believed that there would be absolutely no problems with the release in December!

In the early hours of the morning, he simply communicated with Yu Hong and answered calls from Schmidt and others. Even though Fang Zhuo has always had a steely spirit, he just read a few Silicon Valley media reports before falling asleep and resting.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, when Fang Zhuo was dealing with more and more matters after the press conference, he received a call from the head of Sony, Stringer, and learned that the other party had arrived in Silicon Valley. He sincerely invited him to talk, and he agreed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the original supplier meeting was postponed until the afternoon, and in the evening, a team meeting for the European market was held, and in the evening, it was a discussion about the arrangements for the domestic market. Fang Zhuo arrived at Sony's office in Silicon Valley after confirming all of these.

For some reason, Fang Zhuo was in a good mood every time he saw Stringer, the head of Sony.

Even though Ichiro Miyamoto, the person in charge of Sony's mobile phone department, was in the office this time, he complained quite directly about what happened at his press conference yesterday, lamenting that making a mobile phone is not easy.

Stringer's regular meeting with the parties is to congratulate the release of mobile phones, inquire about the progress of the Shanghai cooperation production line, and discuss matters related to Sony Bertelsmann Records.

He couldn't help laughing when he heard Mr. Fang's simple and down-to-earth complaints, and felt that the glamorous backside was really unexpected.

Sony's chairman and outside directors talked and laughed happily.

Miyamoto Ichiro, who was watching, was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart while watching this scene.

He came here today to report his observations on Yike's mobile phone Mars.

Although Miyamoto did not participate in the on-site press conference yesterday, he asked friends in the media about their impressions, and most of them were full of praise. He quickly watched the entire video uploaded on YouTube, and he had a very strong intuition.

A few years ago, Mr. Fang was called "Sony's enemy", and Yike's first pot of gold was stepped on Sony's music player.

However, as Yike reached a cooperation with Sony Music, and later had a close relationship with Stringer, and became an external director, no one mentioned such a title.

However, after Miyamoto watched the press conference, watched the Yike Mars parameters, inquired in detail about Google Android and the Open Handset Alliance, and even explored the cooperation model between the iPhone and AT&T to guess the situation between the Yike Iron Triangle, he immediately re-entered his mind. Emerged such a title - Sony の enemy.

This time the victim was most likely replaced by a Sony Ericsson phone.

Miyamoto is an old employee of Sony. He witnessed the glory and desolation of Walkman with his own eyes, but at that time he watched with emotion and never said anything. Later, he sincerely thanked Mr. Fang for his help.

Now, Yi Ke's tentacles turn to his department...

He thinks that he has a strong obligation to advise the leader Stringer, and it is necessary to recognize the threat of Mars!
In particular, Sony also sent someone from the camera department to help Yike adjust the camera, which was simply one of the most ridiculous things that happened to me...

Oh, and the most absurd thing is that the Sony camera department I met didn't want to share technology internally.

Taking advantage of the gap between the head and the outside directors drinking water, the transparent Miyamoto finally found a chance to speak.

He said euphemistically: "The Yike press conference is still very successful. The front camera is unique in the world. It is very powerful. It has seized the hot Internet websites to make mobile software. It is also very powerful. It has cooperated with dozens of manufacturers such as Google. Together, this is really powerful!"

Miyamoto took a deep breath and said with a more serious tone: "I really hope to see Yike Mars and Sony Ericsson competing on the same stage. It would be best if we can learn from each other."

Fang Zhuo put down his teacup in surprise, his face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to glance at Miyamoto.

Oh?Three great comments, what's going on with this Miyamoto?

It is my own suggestion to raise the mobile phone department by half a level and surpass the camera department.

Why is this guy talking nonsense at this moment?

He smiled at Stringer and said, "Sir, have you ever used YouTube?"

Stringer shook his head.

Fang Zhuo asked again: "Have you ever used Facebook?"

Stringer shook his head again.

Fang Zhuo pretended to be angry: "You must have used Yike's iMusic, I hope to use this to attract you to buy our Mars mobile phone."

Stringer laughed.

——Any technology that was born when I was born is part of the normal order of the world. Any technology that was born between the ages of 15 and 35 is a revolutionary product that will change the world. Any technology that was born when I was 35 The technologies born after that are all against the laws of nature and will be condemned by God.

Stringer knows that the two websites have developed well, but how good can they be? Can they grow to the level of Yahoo?
As for using these to attract users, I am afraid the effect is worrying.

Fang Zhuo said hesitantly: "It's okay if Miyamoto didn't say anything, he mentioned Google's Android, tsk, sir, the development of this system is a bit difficult, and I'm here to represent Google's sincere invitation to you and Sony to join the Android camp." , let’s make it bigger and stronger together!”

Stringer always thought Mr. Fang had a keen eye, but he really had a different opinion on the mobile phone system.

The old jazz said with all his heart, "Android? Mr. Fang, I think your Yike can try the UIQ system."

The UIQ system is one of the core user interfaces of the Symbian intelligent system based on Nokia, and many models of Sony Ericsson are equipped with this.

Fang Zhuo was silent.

Stringer also said: "There are too few mobile phones, and we are actually considering Microsoft's WP mobile phone system. Yike can't tie itself to Android with only one model, which is not conducive to future development. "

Fang Zhuo nodded slowly: "After all, we are making mobile phones for the first time, so we need to observe and observe."

He took a sip of tea and said, "However, the camera that Miyamoto mentioned, our Yike is really unique in the world. I have to thank Sony for this. This gadget benefits from the guidance of Sony's camera department."

Stringer waved his hand, it was indeed a gadget.

Ichiro Miyamoto saw Mr. Fang's constant fights, Internet applications that are not valued by the head of the company, the comparison between the emerging mobile operating system and the current system, and the unique front camera is just a gadget with the help of Sony...

Just as he was about to speak, Mr. Fang, who was leaning on the desk, changed his angle, turned his back to Stringer, and looked at him with a teacup.

"Miyamoto said just now that we are competing on the same stage. Hey, I wonder if we can sell 200 million units this time. Does this count as being eligible to compete on the same stage?" Fang Zhuo and Stringer talked, looking at Miyagi on the sofa. Book.

Stringer laughed, 200 million units is too little. The sales volume of Sony Ericsson mobile phones in this quarter alone is close to 3000 million units. Leaving aside the feature phones, the mid-to-high end is not comparable to Yike's target number.

"Sir, don't laugh, we are still experimenting and developing on the touch screen." Fang Zhuo looked at Ichiro Miyamoto and continued, "If Sony wants to make a capacitive screen mobile phone in the future, Yike can cross-license this aspect patent."

Miyamoto Ichiro felt stiff when he was watched by Mr. Fang, but his heart moved when he heard this sentence. This is a good thing that Yi Ke can really show.

Stringer took a sip of tea, noncommittal: "That's not bad, either."

"As a new player in the industry, Yike still needs to learn more from Sony." Fang Zhuo looked at Ichiro Miyamoto and sighed, "Miyamoto has done such a good job in the mobile phone business, and it happened to happen again this time, can you give us Yike? Come to an analysis report, and I also learn to learn from the perspective of a real insider.”

Miyamoto Ichiro was taken aback, how to write an analysis report?Is Yike Mars a threat to Sony Ericsson mobile phones?

"It's all small things. It depends on whether Miyamoto is willing to communicate with you, the director, without affecting his work." Stringer laughed.

Fang Zhuo asked Miyamoto who was under his sight: "Miyamoto, you must help me with this job. Jazz and I were the ones who mentioned the mobile phone department above the camera department."

Stringer commented: "It still seems to be quite effective now."

Ichiro Miyamoto opened his mouth and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Mr. Fang, of course there is no problem. Yike's mobile phone is actually very good."

Fang Zhuo smiled at the person in charge of Sony Ericsson's mobile phone, took one last look at him, and turned around to discuss the important topic of this trip with the old jazz—Sony is considering acquiring 50% of Bertelsmann's shares in the record company, and Yi Ke There are also 5% of them.

Ichiro Miyamoto breathed out lightly, his scalp was numb, Mr. Fang's last look was cold, this is not a human... This is a tiger talking to the head of Sony!

The head of Sony and external directors spent more time communicating with Bertelsmann shares than mobile phones, followed by the sensor production line under construction in Shencheng.

After chatting like this for a long time, Miyamoto Ichiro silently acted as a little transparent.

At 10:30 in the morning, Stringer had other guests who had an appointment, and Fang Zhuo was also busy. When he was leaving, he called Ichiro Miyamoto up to ask some questions on his mobile phone.

Ichiro Miyamoto left the office with the outside director in silence.

"The Jazz's reform of Sony is really effective. Sony Ericsson's mobile phone is developing well now. Miyamoto, your ability is also very strong." Fang Zhuo chatted casually, and then asked, "Are you optimistic about the development of the Android system?"

"Looking good." Miyamoto said truthfully.

"If Android can really develop, Sony wants to join the Android camp in the future, and it would be a good thing for Yike and Sony to join forces." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly.

Miyamoto reluctantly responded, and Mr. Fang stopped talking about Android's difficulties in front of him.

"How are Nakabachi Ryoji and Kutaragi Ken doing now?" Fang Zhuo asked again.

Miyamoto suddenly realized what Mr. Fang meant, and this was probably what he wanted to talk about about the reform of the leader.

Different from when he first took office, Stringer now vaguely has the prestige of the master of ZTE. With the help of the PS3 situation, he got rid of Kutaragi Ken, further reorganized Sony's board of directors, and took advantage of the situation of Ryoji Hachibachi.

Under such an asymptotically arbitrary right, it is only a small change that the mobile phone department overrides the camera department.

Miyamoto doesn't believe how an external director can intervene in the internal affairs of the group, but believes that Mr. Fang, who has a good relationship with the head and has always cooperated with him, can at least have a considerable influence on himself.

Thinking about it again, the current bureaucratic situation of the group, I have repeatedly reflected on the problems of the camera department, and the communication channel is realized only through the foreign director.

On the other hand, considering Mr. Fang’s words, Yike’s patent authorization on touch screens, Yike’s voice in the Android system and Android companies, and the analysis report of the head of Sony’s department on competing products was presented to him...

The mobile phone market is so big, Sony Ericsson mobile phone is not a life-and-death relationship with Yike mobile phone, but can coexist.

Miyamoto took a breath, and replied respectfully: "I heard that Kutaragi Ken wants to start a business. There is no new news about Ryoji Nakabachi, just silence."

Fang Zhuo nodded, stopped, and patted this man on the shoulder: "Do well, last time Sony's internal situation surprised me, and if there are similar things in the future, or Sony has a ceiling for promotion, I can work with Jazz." Let’s chat and see if there is room for cooperation.”

He commented: "Sony Ericsson's position in the world today is due to Ichiro Miyamoto."

Ichiro Miyamoto was excited with a half-truth and half-fake face. After all, in front of him was one of the 50 richest people in the world, and also... Sony's enemy.

He watched Boss Fang get into the car, saw the car disappear, and thought one after another in his mind, can the boss agree with his judgment?Is it necessary to be alarmist at this moment when it is not even on sale?
Miyamoto Ichiro sighed, made up his mind, and walked into the office building silently.

However, the Mars that he studied repeatedly on the computer last night still emerged in his heart. It is really a very attractive and threatening mobile phone.

……

Fang Zhuo smoothly consolidated the good relationship between Yike and Sony, and did not take a newly promoted executive as a big deal.

On the contrary, it was Stringer who said to acquire Bertelsmann's 50% stake in the record company, which is really interesting.

The cooperation agreement between the two parties is due to end in August next year, and the record company has been tepid in the past three years. If you consider the economic situation next year, Bertelsmann's 8% stake will definitely be a cheap price.

Does Sony still have a strong willingness to acquire by then?Alternatively, Echo, which owns 5%, could share a share of Bertelsmann with Sony.

Sony Bertelsmann Music → Sony Ico Music → Ico Music?

Fang Zhuo asked the secretary to write down such a matter, intending to have time to communicate with Bertelsmann in Germany, and also let the company internally evaluate whether such development is necessary.

Just as he was about to go to the R&D center, Schmidt from Google suddenly called.

Schmidt's tone was unexpected: "Mars has already started pre-sale in Finland?"

Fang Zhuo was puzzled: "Why do you ask that? How is it possible?"

Schmidt said again: "Mars is already on pre-sale in Finland."

Fang Zhuo heard the affirmative tone on the other side, and said in astonishment: "Impossible!"

Immediately, he thought of a possible answer from Europe, and heard Schmidt's voice: "It seems that Deutsche Telekom is doing it. I thought it was you and Legere who reached a new cooperation intention?"

Fang Zhuo asked the driver to drive to T-Mobile's office, while denying: "There is nothing, as you know, Legere and I only cooperated verbally, we didn't even sign the draft, and he refused to implement it yesterday." Further cooperation is waiting for the situation of the iPhone."

He said angrily: "Deutsche Telekom? I didn't receive a notification at all. Legere didn't make a call. I'm going to find him now."

Schmidt let out a "huh" and ended the call. His first reaction when he received the news was that the two parties communicated again at night, but now it seems that the operator is still a mess.

Fang Zhuo put down his phone, frowned, and asked the people in the company to inquire about the so-called pre-sale in Finland. However, there was not much news, but he confirmed that such a thing did exist. It was launched on the official website of the operator in Finland at ten o'clock last night. pre-sale.

In other words, it was a pre-sale that started automatically four hours after the press conference.

Fang Zhuo felt offended by such inexplicable actions that he neither signed nor communicated.

He made a menacing visit to T-Mobile's offices.

Legere, who received the call in advance, greeted him with a smile.

"Sit, sit, Mr. Fang."

"Mr. Fang, what kind of tea do you drink? I also have Huaxia tea bags here!"

"Why don't you have a cup of coffee? You must have slept very late last night."

In the office with only two people, Legere was busy.

Fang Zhuo asked: "What happened to the Finnish pre-sale? Didn't we agree to talk about it after the iPhone is released? A pre-sale without notifying the brand at all? Absurd!"

He scolded: "You are destroying the trust between us with your own hands!"

Just as Legere was about to answer, he suddenly felt that the word sounded familiar. Wasn't it what he said in the conference room before the press conference?
He couldn't help laughing and said, "Boss Fang, I have to clarify this matter!"

Fang Zhuo looked at Legere.

Legere clarified: "It is not Deutsche Telekom that opened the pre-sale."

Fang Zhuo is suspicious. There are problems with Schmidt's news and his own company's verification?
Legere continued: "It is Deutsche Telekom that has closed the pre-sale of [-] units."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Legere once again disregarded the relationship: "This is a temporary decision made by Deutsche Telekom after watching the press conference. I also received the notice in the early morning. The [-] units are just a small test. Now, I think we can talk about it." further cooperation."

Fang Zhuo said with a sullen face, "How do you Deutsche Telekom do things?"

Legere denounced it together: "Indeed, things are not reliable at the headquarters. Even if you are eager to promote cooperation with Yike, you should inform us first before starting a small-scale pre-sale."

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "Yes, you, Legere, should go to Germany to be the CEO."

"Indeed...the US market has yet to be explored." Legere declined the offer, and described the details, "From ten o'clock last night to ten o'clock this morning, Finland opened online and telephone pre-sales, a total of [-] Mars units."

He said excitedly: "One hundred thousand units, all in one sweep!"

Fang Zhuo let out a sigh of relief: "One hundred thousand units, heh, it's okay."

Legere looked at Mr. Fang and continued: "Because there is no contract, the contract price cannot be carried out. This batch is pre-sold at the price of 399 US dollars at the press conference."

It's not the contract price, it's $399. The headquarters is thinking that even if it's a self-test, it can be purchased directly at the original price to adjust the goods.

A small-scale pre-sale attempt to determine the strength of cooperation.

Legere emphasized: "Mr. Fang, this is equivalent to an advance order screening of a movie! The order screening was successful, and we are waiting for the official release! The audience bought tickets, and the theater has arranged the film! Now we have to wait until December to let the surging The audience of the theater filled the auditorium!"

He said excitedly: "The 399 tickets for $[-] are all sold out!"

Fang Zhuo didn't speak, but stretched out his right hand.

Legere understood, and handed the poured teacup to Mr. Fang. The Yike Mars that had been tested suddenly had a different meaning. Both the headquarters and his side updated their judgment on this point.

Fang Zhuo took the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said slowly: "Well, 399 units for $[-], Yike Mars, not bad."

Legere laughed.

This is the base camp of Nokia sold 3 [-]G touch screen smartphones!
He loves Finns now!
Regardless of whether there are Finnish social fear factors, at least it can prove that consumers' acceptance of fresh products is beyond the imagination of operators and brand owners.

This is still not too much publicity. What if we continue to carry out large-scale and multi-channel publicity?

Legere looked at Boss Fang in front of him, and felt that he was shining golden, and when he looked closely, there was a faint word on his forehead - the top [-] richest people in the world.

If people don't know how to make money, how can they have such wealth?
The headquarters has made the latest decision. Both the European market and the US market can discuss in-depth cooperation. Deutsche Telekom already has a team on the way.

There is only one thing Legere needs to communicate now, and one thing he regrets very much!

He sat down and said sincerely: "President Fang, we can go back to the cooperation draft before yesterday, and the purchase price can still be negotiated, but the exclusive contract from the United States, I think..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted Legere and reminded: "Global partners, and, we have already talked about this matter, different times mean different prices."

Last year was the same price, the prototype was the same price, and the press conference was the same price. Today, although it is a sudden pre-sale with a test nature, it is another price.

Legere looked at Mr. Fang's expression. From time to time, the results of the temporary pre-sale at the headquarters surprised Europe, and the decision-making power of the matter has changed a lot.

He gritted his teeth a little bit, and suddenly hated the team's inefficiency. If he knew it earlier, he would have known it earlier...

Legere still said: "At the very least, T-Mobile should have a certain period of exclusivity."

Fang Zhuo glanced at Legere and suggested, "Let's talk about the purchase price first."

Overnight, [-] yuan was sold out, and the host and guest moved.

Farewell for a day, you should look at each other with admiration.

The key link for operators can finally get through and land.
