Reinventing the Millennium

Goldman Sachs broke the law.

The best photo taking.

Mr. Fang recommends stocks.

From 2007 to 2009, this is already the third mobile phone conference held by Yike, but each time the media likes it for various reasons. Especially, this time the content is extremely rich.

Well, Mr. Fang is also very rich in words and deeds.

"Investment is very simple, just follow what I just said..." Fang Zhuo was about to end his advice on investing, when he suddenly saw a prominent comment on YouTube and read it out, "Mr. Fang, I have 10 million Are U.S. dollars invested this way?”

After he finished reading, he thought it was mostly a joke and said with a smile: "No problem, 10 million is not too much. You can do it for less than 100 million."

Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence was finished, another comment appeared, "Mr. Fang, can I configure it like this with 150 million?"

Fang Zhuo didn't take this seriously and continued to laugh: "Why are you still asking how to invest and manage money with 150 million? Okay, like this, you can call my secretary directly. If I can collect 500 million before the press conference is over, I Let the foundation make a financial product specifically for you."

150 million US dollars, or funds, what is this concept? Are you on Forbes too?

Fang Zhuo picked up Mars3 again, and after just chatting for a few words, he saw the secretary on the other side, Liu Zonghong, picked up his phone in surprise.

really have?

Really coming?

After a brief phone call, Liu Zonghong nodded to his boss to confirm that he was indeed a prospective customer from Los Angeles, USA.

Fang Zhuo felt that he still underestimated the influence of Yike's short squeeze. Now, I don't know who is hiding among the people watching the press conference, and even the rich people jumped out.

After continuing to introduce Mars3 for five minutes, Liu Zonghong received two more unfamiliar numbers, both of which were looking for financial products customized by the former world's richest man.

I can’t find Mr. Fang’s phone number, and can’t I find the secretary’s phone number?

"Yike's official website and Amazon have launched pre-sale links. You can click in and take a look. The above introduction to Selfy may be more detailed than what I said." Fang Zhuo took advantage of a gap in the introduction to inform the global audience that they can place an order. .

Even though many people came to see Mr. Fang talk about short squeezes, many were still converted to the official website and Amazon, and they saw that the official price of Selfy is US$349.

Yike's mobile phone products have always been priced at two prices, the official price and the channel price of telecom operators. The sales volume of the latter is much greater than the former.

Before this press conference, there were still some powerful and weak industry media who made predictions. The threshold for the two generations of Mars in the past two years has been an official price starting at 399 and a channel price starting at 199 US dollars. Mars 3 will certainly be no exception.

However, the positioning of the new Selfy is not easy to predict, and many people think it will be under $300.

Now the official positioning of Yike is very clear, it is only 50 US dollars less than the flagship price.

This is not Yike's entry into the mid-to-low-end field under multiple pressures as expected by the outside world, but it continues to consolidate the flagship and sub-flagship positioning of US$300-400.

Regarding this point, there are actually multiple considerations within Yike. It is not easy to establish product levels. The two consecutive generations of Mars have gradually opened up and stabilized the user base through labels such as 3G, smart, and the world's first front-end.

However, the development brought about by 3G is far from over. Competitors such as Samsung in the same camp are also eyeing it. It is easy to launch products, but once the positioning is affected, it is difficult to recover.

Moreover, the chip project jointly conducted by Yike, Samsung, and Apple is nearing completion, and is scheduled to end as early as the third quarter of this year. Fang Zhuo is very much looking forward to the application of this chip.

Next year is Mars 4, and they may try to increase the official price, starting from breaking through the $400 limit. Selfy ensures that there are still products in the 300-400 range to compete in the market, and at the same time, it continues to cooperate with Qualcomm.

As for entry-level models, Yike promotes the Android + YMS system in China and invests in other brands. For the time being, it is through this association method to obtain benefits at this stage.

The thought of internal opinions flashed through Fang Zhuo's mind. Compared with this year's continuous supplement, the response to Mars using new chips next year will be very important.

"My secretary just told me that the foundation seems to really need to open a financial product."

After Fang Zhuo said this, he thought of the small situation that happened earlier and sighed sincerely: "I feel like I am holding a very new press conference."

This press conference was a bit out of control. Perhaps it was the display of the impact of this short squeeze that attracted too many people's attention. It has unprecedented popularity, which naturally brings out more factors.

"Take a few sips of tea, and you place your order. I'll answer everyone's questions by the way. I'm too sensitive." Fang Zhuo picked up the tea cup and spoke first.

——How do you evaluate this Yike short squeeze?

Fang Zhuo put down his tea cup and read out random questions.

Then, he made a short comment: "Yike just did the right thing at the right time. According to Chinese saying, people do not harm tigers, but they also guard against tigers harming people's hearts."

——Paulson owns a private plane named "Confidence." Do you think he will still have confidence after this blow?

Fang Zhuo read out this question and became interested, knowing that he was talking about Xiaobao.

After thinking briefly, he smiled and said, "Why did Paulson give the plane such a name? The plane took off and called 'Confidence' and flew away? When you need to fly, you have to ask, where is my 'Confidence'?"

"No wonder Paulson suffered heavy losses this time. Is it because his 'confidence' is being repaired and maintained?"

Fang Zhuo laughed along with the YouTube comments, and the man behind a screen in New York clenched his back molars.

——I am from Bridgewater, and the fund I am in did not participate in shorting Yike. Everyone now knows that you delivered 2% of the stock to the institution. I think you should clarify to the media that Bridgewater did not fail.

Fang Zhuo's answer to such comments was simple: "Yes, yes, now is not the time for Qiaoshui to come to the office to beg me."

——Mr. Fang, tell me in detail, tell me in detail! !

——What exactly do you ask for? ?

Fang Zhuo glanced at the suddenly lively screen and knew the nature of the people watching.

He ignored these and continued to read a question that caught his eye.

——As a party concerned, Mr. Fang, can you talk about the performance of the SEC this time?

The parties involved in Yike like the SEC's performance this time!

but……

Fang Zhuo frowned and hesitated: "Talk about the SEC's performance? Actually, I don't like to talk about this, because I tend to be critical when I talk about this."

The YouTube comments were even more excited. This bite is so good!

Fang Zhuo was about to reject the offer but returned the favor: "Seeing that you are all so concerned, let me just say a few words. Investigating the root cause, a very important factor that led to the short squeeze situation in Yike this time is the existence of 'naked short selling'. Since last year, By this year, the SEC was working on a ban on short selling, and was also temporarily banning naked short selling.”

"Isn't Yike an influential company? Why isn't it on the short-selling list?"

"How do some institutions circumvent the temporary regulations, and why does the SEC turn a blind eye to this?"

"Are the regulations sound? Is the implementation in place?"

“As a victim of short selling following the financial crisis, I must speak out for Yike.”

"I have to ask the SEC. Isn't Yike still on the list of prohibited short sellers? What considerations does the SEC have that I can't understand?"

Fang Zhuo was very enthusiastic and his emotions fluctuated.

Many comments on YouTube praised Mr. Fang for being consistent on the surface, and he was indeed very critical.

But there are also discordant voices emerging.

——Mr. Fang requested that Yike be included in the short-selling list at this time. Is it because Yike is about to receive the ITC’s final ruling? Are you scared?

——Is the current stock price of Yike still a bubble?

——Mr. Fang is not criticizing the SEC, he is using public opinion to coerce the SEC and ask the SEC to help Yike deal with the impact of the ITC ruling on the secondary market!

Fang Zhuo saw these comments but did not read out their contents.

The SEC did not put Yike on the short-selling list before, but now it will not do so with the recovery of the financial market, and institutions are not willing to see this change.

Coincidentally, neither I nor my clients wanted to see it.

However, you still need to have a fighting attitude, and the intensity is already quite high in front of millions of viewers around the world.

Fang Zhuo suspected that the SEC would ignore him and not even respond.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about mobile phones. This is a mobile phone conference, not my personal press conference."

"All configuration parameters of our new generation Mars are excellent. Although the camera pixels are slightly inferior to Selfy, the 200+500 shooting settings are still excellent. It is equipped with a Qualcomm 833Mhz processor. This year's 65nm process uses the LP process, which significantly reduces the power consumption, it supports the OpenGL ES 2.0 image processing engine and has the world's top processing capabilities."

"The Android ecosystem, I believe anyone who has used it or read it online knows how rich we are."

"The Android system has entered a positive cycle and will inevitably develop better and better. Everyone is welcome to join this big family in terms of systems, software, and products."

Fang Zhuo focused on the progress and performance of Qualcomm chips. This has been three consecutive generations of cooperation. It is quite stable and efficient and is worth learning from Yike.

This time, he did not use pre-sales, but directly announced the prices that everyone expected: "Our 16G version is priced at US$399, the 32G version is US$499, and the 64G version is US$599. Pre-ordered users There will be some small gifts given away.”

Compared with last year's Mars2, this year's version starts with 16G and has three specifications, up to 64G.

Fang Zhuo did not mention the price of the operator, but mentioned the name: "We have maintained stable cooperation with operators such as T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom. They are partners worthy of everyone's trust and still have very favorable packages."

The introduction and prices of the two mobile phones Mars3 and Selyf have come to an end, and this new and somewhat twists and turns conference has also come to an end.

The YouTube live broadcast room felt the end from Mr. Fang, and everyone asked to continue talking about the details of the Yike incident. Although there were messy things such as Goldman Sachs breaking the law, this alone was not enough.

——Mr. Fang, let’s talk about hedge funds and how they died!

——Mr. Fang, why are you so malicious!

——How much money did you make this time?

Fang Zhuogang smiled and interacted with such comments for a few words. Secretary Liu Zonghong suddenly approached and whispered the latest situation from the phone call.

It's time for the stock market to open in the United States, and the stock prices of Yike, Google, Apple, and Amazon have all risen in unison. Coincidentally, they are the stocks that Fang Zhuo mentioned before the market opened.

The SEC believed that this use of emerging live streaming methods to drive up stock prices may harm ordinary investors and may involve the behind-the-scenes operations of its MIGA fund, so it called and issued a timely warning.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

He faced the camera and briefly mentioned the warning he had just received.

Is this a stock recommendation or a critical warning?

Fang Zhuo said tactfully: "I just said it. I don't want to say it. You insist on asking me to say it. How can I say it? Well, this is very SEC."

——Made, the SEC has been so slow in the past few days, why is it suddenly alive now?

——This is very SEC, very SEC, very SECCCC! !

He doesn't dwell on this. There are already many additional factors in today's press conference, including this one.

"Remember, Mars is the best smartphone, and Selfy is the most powerful camera phone." Fang Zhuo reiterated that many people are not interested in mobile phones, and finally asked, "Today's conference brought me, I believe it will also It has brought you a very fresh experience. In this case, let’s keep it fresh until the end. How do you think we should end this press conference?”

——Mr. Fang, dance! Dance! You said you would dance when you were the richest man in the world!

——Kill the organization, kill the organization!

——Let the person who was dragged out come back for a chat and give him the camera!

——Looking forward to Mr. Fang’s press conference next year!

——Mr. Fang, come on, that, that’s the Unforgivable Curse!

Various opinions in the comments.

Fang Zhuo saw one and thought it was quite creative.

He pointed to two more mobile phones and said: "You can pre-order the new phones on the official website, Amazon, operators and offline stores. Remember to try them. This is a recommended product from the former world's richest man."

After Fang Zhuo said this, he picked up Mars with his right hand, looked at the camera, waved his phone, and smiled slightly:

"Avada Kedavra!"

As the Unforgivable Curse was actually spit out from Mr. Fang's mouth, the next moment, the live broadcast room fell into a black screen.

The online launch of Yike's brand new mobile phone that was hacked is over. Mars3 and Selfy were launched into the market before Samsung and Apple, and also before the ITC's final ruling.

…

As soon as the press conference ended, the media's online reports were completed.

——A mysterious man releases Avada Kedavra, and Goldman Sachs suffers a fatal attack!

——Mr. Fang gave up on Kallasvuo!

——Yike's new phone is very popular, but the official website reservation is stuck!

——The most powerful camera phone on earth is coming, and world-famous paintings are born in Yike!

——The SEC responded promptly and strictly investigated the behind-the-scenes transactions between Fang Zhuo and Google!

——Yike still has a bubble, Fang Zhuo hopes the SEC will protect it!

Various media reports have been disturbing, and the trend on Twitter has not subsided.

Under such circumstances, a man who claimed to be the bankruptcy manager of a hedge fund suddenly became popular.

The fund manager, who claimed to be Smith, posted his record of bankruptcies and air tickets to Shanghai. He then announced that he would stay away from the financial industry and follow in Mr. Fang’s footsteps to start a second business.

He angrily denounced the greed of hedge funds and Wall Street on Twitter, and sold "Mr. Fang's shorts", a short on his left hip and a wall on his right hip. Amazon orders were sold out for a time, achieving new success and becoming the Yike short squeeze, which made waves in the world. A little footnote.
