Back to 1995

Wearing a baseball cap, Kevin Kelly, the editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine, who passed the security check, walked into this familiar conference center again as he did in previous years.

Kevin Kelly did not go to the media seat, but found a corner, and sat down quietly. Wired Magazine naturally has a media seat, and it is in the front row, but Kevin Kelly is used to sitting Here, he can quietly analyze and report on the products of the press conference.

The conference center was very noisy. Seeing countless people chatting and laughing in front of him, there was no expectation for P6. Instead, there was a low-pitched sarcasm, which made Kevin Kelly sigh in his heart.

He has not been absent from the Alcatel mobile phone press conferences in the past few years, and he can clearly feel the difference between each press conference. He did not mention the first press conference. At that time, everyone did not care about Alcatel mobile phones at all, but brought The biggest surprise.

And from the second press conference, the audience who came to the press conference basically had a state of mind ranging from excitement, anticipation to a little dullness. By the time of P5, they were already a little disappointed, and P6 directly became fun people. Mentality, many electronic enthusiasts came here today just to see how bad the P6 can be.

Even just last night, a "spy photo" of the P6 appeared on the electronic section of the Yahoo website. The P6 in that photo, not to mention exactly the same as the P5, is basically almost a twin, although the person who posted the last post "clarified" , he was just doing a spoof, and then deleted the post and ran away.

But that "disc photo" was still widely circulated, and was even quoted by many media, and the comment section, without exception, was a cynicism about Alcatel mobile phones, and no one even cared whether the disc photo was real or not, obviously countless People already subconsciously think that Alcatel mobile phones will not have any new ideas at all, and will only eat their old money!

Looking at the noisy scene, Kevin Kelly sighed. He didn't know what the outcome of today's press conference would be, and how Song Yang would accept questions from the media and the audience.

Also watching the live broadcast of today's global conference through the ICNC technology channel, there are also a group of people from Deutsche Bank Investment Bank.

Edison, who had been absent for a long time, appeared at the headquarters of the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. Sitting beside him was Edison's right-hand man, Anshu Jain, who asked Edison in a puzzled manner, "Bruno Song, what exactly do you want to do? After yesterday's analysis report, the entire Alcatel mobile phone concept stock has plummeted today!"

The analysis report of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank was naturally produced by Alcatel mobile phone. In fact, analysts of Deutsche Bank and other Wall Street institutions are not pessimistic about Alcatel P6 mobile phone. Well, where could it be? !

Can other mobile phone manufacturers really crush Alcatel mobile phones? Even if you think about it, you know that it is impossible, and Alcatel mobile phones have always established the image of high-end mobile phones over the years, and it is not so easy to be replaced. Market share is even more ridiculous.

However, the public relations department of Alcatel mobile phone approached the investment bank of Deutsche Bank and asked the investment bank of Deutsche Bank to help out an analysis report, which directly "predicted" that Alcatel mobile phone would be over. Anshu himself felt that it was outrageous.

Edison laughed, "Maybe the P6 mobile phone will have something beyond our expectations. You still don't understand Song's behavior style?!"

"He doesn't never fight uncertain battles. From his interview with Wired magazine, there are signs," Edison said with a sigh, and then his expression returned to stern, and he turned to Anshu Jain and other Deutsche Bank investment bank seniors. Guan said, "Have you started shorting companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony, Ericsson, Samsung, etc., and longing Alcatel's mobile phone industry chain and concept stocks?!"

As a standard Wall Street hungry wolf, Edison will never let go of any opportunity to cut leeks. This P6 press conference made Edison feel the bloodthirsty impulse for a long time. He feels that this wave can be severely cut A crop of leeks.

Nokia is a giant company with a market value of 3000 billion US dollars. Motorola is a little bit close, but if you add Samsung, Sony, Ericsson and other giant companies in the general electronics industry, it is not bad. If it really succeeds, then Deutsche Bank Investment Bank It is estimated that it can make crazy money.

Anshu Jain nodded quickly. He has always carried out what Edison told him without any compromise. This time he shorted Nokia and Motorola, and went long on Alcatel's mobile phone concept stocks. Although it was risky, Anshu Shu never doubted Edison's decision!
Sandor, Jobs, and his brother-in-law walked into the conference center. Looking around, they saw a lot of acquaintances, all of whom were big names in the American technology industry.

When Song Yang brought a large group of people from his own camp, including ICQ President Irene, PayPal President Aaron Swartz, Fortinet President Xie Qing, Siebel Automotive President Anduran, and PA Semiconductor, When a large group of people from the Symbian system arrived at the press conference, even Sandor, Jobs, and countless big names in the technology industry were envious of it.

Song Yang also saw Sander and the others, and nodded towards them with a smile. Seeing Song Yang's expression, Sander's heart suddenly skipped a beat, with a faint feeling of something bad.

As usual, there are rows of interview equipment in the audience of this year's conference. This conference was broadcast live on the technology channel of ICNC TV station. In addition, ICNC Internet TV station also has CNN, NBC, Twitter, ICQ community, AOL portal and other TV stations and Internet channels for rebroadcasting, etc.

Last year's P5 conference was hosted by Schultz, the chief operating officer of Alcatel Group. Afterwards, Schultz was accused by Wan Fu and was almost sprayed with autism. The entire mobile phone and technology industry laughed at him , as if the lack of eye-catching places on P5 is all his fault.

This year, the outside world thought that when Schultz presided over the press conference, when the scene was lit and then the lights were turned on on the stage, the audience and those who watched the live broadcast of the press conference were surprised to see him appearing on the stage. It turned out to be Ertian.

Whether it was the scene or in front of the TV, when I saw Ertian, I couldn't help being a little surprised. I didn't expect that he would dare to host this press conference on the cusp of the storm.

"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies, to today's on-site press conference. This year is a special year. Too many things have happened in the past year. I am very glad that you can come today!"

In terms of speech skills, Ertian is definitely not as good as last year's Schulz, but people who have experienced P1 to P4 mobile phone conferences naturally have a special feeling for Ertian, for example, every time they meet someone, If good things happen that day, then you will definitely look forward to seeing him again and again, that's how Ertian feels.

"I know that in the past year or even a few years, there have been a lot of debates on Alcatel mobile phones, but I can guarantee that Alcatel will never change. After being acquired by Director Bruno, Alcatel mobile phones will no longer be content with Ordinary, we hope that Alcatel's products are what everyone expects!
Welcome to the P6 mobile phone conference! "

As Ertian yelled, the big screen behind him lit up, and a silver P6 mobile phone appeared on the big screen. The media reporters who raised their cameras at the scene were stunned when they saw the real P6. There, even forgetting to press the shutter.

Countless electronic enthusiasts who were ready to boo at the scene forgot to boo for a while, just staring blankly at the P6 mobile phone on the screen.

At the same time, at Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, who was watching the live broadcast on TV, Edison sat up straight and stared at the P6 mobile phone. Too little to buy.

At the same time, Nokia, Siemens, Samsung, Blackberry, HTC, Panasonic, as well as China Cool Union and other large and small mobile phone manufacturers in China, all watched the press conference on TV without daring to take a breath. For fear of missing a word of Ertian's words, many mobile phone manufacturers' scalps are numb, and they feel as if they have jumped into a pit.

The electronic sections of the four major portals Yahoo, MSN, Lycos, and AOL America, as well as electronic enthusiast forums and electronic engineer forums, were all swiped by the P6. Under the posts speculating and discussing the P6 mobile phone, it took a few seconds It appeared in the hundred floor post.

"P6 is Alcatel's next generation flagship smartphone!"

Ertian bit hard on the last four words, "The Alcatel P6 smartphone is equipped with the Tyrannosaurus X1 processor and uses the smartphone operating system first developed by the Symbian system. This system, the future Exclusively owned by Alcatel Smartphones!"

On the big screen on the stage, as in previous years, the basic configuration and performance of P6 appeared, but this time everyone's eyes widened, looking at the above things.

When Ertian took a silver P6 mobile phone from his assistant, everyone watched Ertian's operation without blinking.

"P6 smart phone, use the touch screen to operate, you can swipe the screen to enter and exit the mobile phone operation page, and you can also use the touch screen to operate the mobile phone program!"

When Ertian swiped the screen back and forth to actually control the mobile phone, the atmosphere of the scene stagnated, and then there was sudden applause, first a few people, and then the applause that swept the entire press conference, and countless electronic enthusiasts took pictures. Palms, all unaware.

Ertian pressed down with his hands several times in a row, but failed to stop the roaring applause at the scene. In the end, he could only wait helplessly for dozens of seconds before calming down again.

"Similarly, making calls, editing text messages, sending emails, using ICQ to communicate, etc., are all operated by touch screens. The era of mobile phone keyboards is gone forever!"
