After 2 hours, the press conference ended.
The live broadcast on YouTube came to an end.
Before leaving the field, Lu Fei smiled, the kind of smile unique to a person who knows he has won and is waiting to declare victory.
Back in the backstage lounge, there was an endless stream of people visiting.
Some, like Verizon Communications, regretted it and re-established a cooperative relationship, just like the contract machine of Greedy Logic. Others, like HTC's Wang Xuehong, T-mobile's John Legere, Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs, etc., have Congratulations on further cooperation.
Lu Fei spent the longest time chatting with Schmidt and Larry Page.
Motorola’s Mobility Business Unit Acquisition Must Be Accelerated!
New product launches can certainly help Logic gain public support, but the key to the patent war lies in patents.
More than 20,000 patents are the secret weapon of logic.
“The iteration speed of smart phones will become faster and faster.”
Lu Fei crossed his legs and said, "Nokia underestimated the speed of this technological change, just like Motorola now."
"Lu, what do you think Motorola should do to avoid going to the edge of the cliff like you said?"
Schmidt was curious. After all, Motorola was already in Google's possession, so he naturally hoped to revive it.
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Software and systems have been transformed, and hardware must also be transformed. You don't have to worry about independent research and development. You can start with solution integration and use Motorola's global channels and brands to turn losses into profits and consolidate the market. As for the solution... "
After a pause, he took a sip of water: "You can refer to HTC, Xiaomi, and Shenzhou for this. ThePaper has many turnkey solutions."
"So can Nokia be saved?"
"Unless we abandon Symbian immediately and adopt Android, we may not be able to maintain our current glory, but at least we won't die."
"Or ask you to become a director of Nokia?"
"Hahaha, can Google still eat Nokia?"
Lu Fei winked and blamed Nokia's tricks, so he had to split the mobile phone business into pieces to relieve his hatred.
Larry Page and Schmidt looked at each other and laughed.
Then, Lu Fei sent them out the door, and Larry Page turned around, "Lu, Icahn said that the time is ripe, and the board of directors can submit a proposal on the acquisition next time."
"I will let Ivanka fully cooperate with him."
Lu Fei extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
“A pleasure to work with.”
Larry Page held it and shook it a few times, "I can't wait to go online now to see what's going on with Apple and Steve Jobs!"
"I can only wish him good health and never get sick from anger." Lu Fei shrugged and asked Guo Xing to give them a ride for him, then turned back to the lounge.
Open your laptop and surf the Internet.
As expected, the press conference has just ended, and the Internet is already in turmoil. Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms are full of battlefields. Those who praise Master Lu, those who praise LogicX3, those who criticize iPhone4, those who angrily complain about Apple, and those who defend Steve Jobs, but gradually, the situation began to look one-sided.
After all, the reviews of iphone4 are inherently polarizing.
Under the extreme perfection of logicX3, it has changed from a "slightly flawed masterpiece" to a "seriously flawed masterpiece".
Especially Logic’s free phone cases make people who buy iPhones and $29 protective cases feel like clowns.
The previously dormant conspiracy theory that "Apple deliberately created antenna defects to promote protective cases" has once again become a hot search topic.
More and more iPhone4 users are no longer satisfied with denouncement online and are returning goods offline. The "wrongful people" have gathered together and are preparing to file a class action lawsuit against Apple in the local court.
"Mr. Lu, there's something good to watch now!"
After Guo Xing came back, he rubbed his hands.
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is, and Steve Jobs will pay the price for his arrogance."
Lu Fei looked at the group electronic signature event he had specially arranged. The number of people exceeded 1,000, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This amount is enough to drink a pot of apples!
Coupled with Nokia's prosecution and Section 337 investigation, Apple is undoubtedly in trouble from all sides. If logic is mixed again...
"Isn't that right? If Apple wants to drag everyone down, it depends on whether he has the ability!"
Guo Xing smiled coldly, "Mr. Lu, the route to Munich has been approved. We will leave on time the day after tomorrow. By then, we will be able to hold the first new product launch conference for Europe at our completed convention and exhibition center. Deutsche Telekom and the British Operators such as Vodafone and France’s Orange will come to support us.”
"Starting from next year, we will move the overseas launch stage from the United States to Europe."
Lu Fei checked his itinerary. The European press conference will be on the 27th, he will return to China on the 30th, and then the domestic press conference will be on November 1st.
"I totally agree!"
Guo Xing nodded in agreement. The American market has matured and Logic's brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is time to move the focus to Europe to help Logic's business in Europe completely expand.
As for the United States, isn’t there a global live broadcast on YouTube?
"And safety."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes into a thin line.
"Safety??"
Guo Xing couldn't understand it for a while and understood the mystery.
Lu Fei smiled and said nothing, and the conversation turned to the third wave of offensive against Apple. The press conference was just the opening of this climax.
"We have informed the media in advance and have sent out the prepared manuscripts. Mr. Lu, just wait and see the good show."
Guo Xing showed a gloating smile.
"It is better to use your remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord."
Lu Fei stood up and set off for New York.
There, there was an exclusive interview with Bloomberg waiting for him. The complaints about Nokia and Apple at the press conference were far from enough. They had to be supplemented by media interviews, with full firepower.
While he was pursuing victory, the media launched a new round of public opinion offensive, targeting Nokia and Apple.
“Huaxia Lu: Apple’s poor designers should be fired!”
"The logic conference made another shocking statement. Nokia is facing the most dangerous moment since 1982!"
"The world's first AMOLED panel, the first six-axis gyroscope, and the first Zulong 211 processor equipped with Logic's independent research and development, do not accept any refutation! LogicX3 is the best mobile phone in the world today! Huaxia Lu has fulfilled his promise !”
"Reveal: Android smartphone signals are generally better than Apple's iPhone series, which may trigger a large-scale return wave."
"Which one is more worth buying, iphone4 or logicX3?"
"…………"
It's like this offline, but it's even crazier online.
Lu Fei's magical "you are fired" expression and "far ahead" mantra, the stunned screenshots of Kallasvuo and Cook, the surprise of the guests in the audience, and the N5230 and iPhone 4 that were far ahead of the whole game, there was a lot of fun.
It is more than enough to keep netizens alive for a week.
The key will be regarded as a classic and replayed repeatedly. Nokia and Apple are likely to be whipped over and over again.
At the same time, on Logic's official website, a video of mobile phone signal strength produced by a third-party organization was forwarded by major mobile phone review YouTubers, and the final evaluation report was also quoted by many media.
Friendly companies such as Samsung and Motorola used this report to prove that the signal strength of their own brands was fine and fought back strongly.
Apple is once again facing an unprecedented crisis of trust.
Perhaps the designers within the company did not want to endure online violence and ridicule, nor did they want to take the blame for Jobs and leak secrets secretly.
The Wall Street Journal immediately made the truth public——
Co-authored Before the release of iPhone 4, Apple engineers knew that the design of the antenna middle frame was risky, but Jobs liked the design so much that he was stubborn and had no choice but to continue development.
All of a sudden, Jobs was pushed to the forefront.
Jobs's proud work suddenly became Apple's disappointment, severely damaging Jobs's image, Apple's stock price, and iPhone 4's reputation and sales.
Those who haven’t bought it yet, those who are considering it, those who are hesitating to return it, and those who are preparing to return it, will no longer consider iPhone 4.
Along with the wave of returns from Apple and the wave of price cuts from its friends, the first pre-sale of logicX3 on Amazon and Feigou.com exceeded 3 million units in just 2 days. Logic is pushing A report card poster has been posted.
By the way, @Apple.
I don’t know if it was intentional or accidental.
"Lu, this disgusting scumbag!"
Jobs had a stern face and a bandage on his right hand.
"Steve, we have to do something now."
Cook has been doing crisis public relations for Apple for the past two days, with a tired look on his face. "The logical press conference, especially the free phone cases, has made us passive. Now we must adopt my plan of free protective cases to immediately end the conspiracy theories about us on the Internet." .”
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Jobs flipped through the statistical report and discovered to his surprise that the return rate had soared from the original 3.2% to 9.1%, and this ratio was still rising, while the sales growth was cut off in half.
With a look of disbelief on his face, "Why is it so high!"
"This is already the result of our public relations, and it is also the reason why I demand that free protective cases must be distributed. The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us, especially when it is rumored that Nokia has temporarily shelved the prosecution of Logic and concentrated its efforts on dealing with us first. "
There was a hint of worry in Cook's voice.
"What did you say!"
Jobs glared angrily: "Fake! Does Nokia think Apple is easier to bully than logic?"
you do not say!
Cook did not dare to say it clearly, but euphemistically expressed that Apple has more cash than logic, allies do not have more logic, and public opinion is worse than logic. Moreover, the Unfair Import Investigation Office did not approve Nokia's investigation of logic and only accepted complaints against Apple.
"The Unfair Import Investigation Office is so unfair!" Jobs sneered, "Absolutely collecting dirty money! Absolutely!"
"Ahem."
Cook cleared his throat: "The chief of staff, Cruz, asked us if we would accept mediation with Nokia?"
"Take that shit!"
Jobs didn’t even think twice and refused to admit defeat!
Lu Fei didn't kneel down to Nokia, why should he kneel down?
"Then let's postpone it and focus our energy and time on solving the current public relations and sales crisis of iPhone 4, as well as entering the Chinese market. Uh, Steve, I think this signing ceremony with China Unicom will be held by you personally. Come forward..."
"No, Tim, it's up to you to go."
"Don't you like Eastern Zen culture? China is the birthplace of Zen. You might like it there."
"Yes, I like Zen culture very much, but I hate Huaxia Lu even more. That's where this bastard comes from!"
Jobs hated everything related to Lu Fei.
"All right."
Cook sighed. It was precisely because of Lu Fei's unparalleled influence in China that Jobs had to take action.
But seeing that he was very resistant, I had to give up with regret.
"Dong dong dong~"
At this moment, the secretary hurriedly knocked on the door, bringing new bad news. In the news just broadcast, Lu Fei talked about the design concept of logicX3 in an interview, and "accidentally" revealed that the original plan was to only It is planned to be equipped with a three-axis gyroscope.
Because I was 100% sure that no other manufacturer could come up with such a wonderful idea, but when the iPhone 4 appeared, Logic had to give up squeezing toothpaste and directly come up with a six-axis gyroscope.
Until now, it's been normal.
But then, Lu Fei mentioned that Logic was conducting an unprecedented investigation within the company, and intentionally or unintentionally linked the investigation to the leakage of confidential logicX3 design plans.
"Lu, do you want to say Apple..."
On the TV screen, the host asked with interest.
"No, no, no, we currently don't have any evidence to prove whether there was any leakage or who instigated the theft. We just found some clues and are following the clues to investigate in depth."
Lu Fei smiled bitterly like a victim.
"Beep!"
Seeing this ugly face, Jobs felt disgusted and immediately turned off the TV. "Get the people from the legal department right away! I'm going to sue him! He's slandering Apple! He's slandering me!"
"Steve, it's useless."
Cook gritted his teeth and said, "Lu is very smart. He didn't mention Apple at all, but he gave the impression that it was Apple."
The secretary nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and weakly reported that after the program aired, another conspiracy theory appeared on the Internet.
Apple stole Logic's 3-axis gyroscope solution.
There is no other reason!
The iPhone 4 is really criticized. I am afraid that the original plan did not take the gyroscope into consideration. Instead, I somehow learned that logic A fatal and simple mistake forced the leaked logic to launch the 6-axis gyroscope solution on iPhone 5.
It has a nose and eyes, and is logical and organized.
There is just no evidence.
"Check! Check it for me right away!
Jobs was furious: "Find out those people who are spreading rumors. I will sue them until they lose everything!"
"calm down."
Cook quickly dissuaded: "Behind the conspiracy theory is the conspiracy. Whether we accept it or not, we have fallen into the trap of the conspiracy theory. It is urgent that we solve the negative impacts of 'Antenna Gate' as soon as possible and increase the sales of iPhone 4." .”
"Hoo~"
Jobs took a deep breath, slowly regained his senses, and touched his chin, "Something's wrong, Tim, something's wrong. Don't you think these are connected too well, as if they were planned?"
"You mean..."
Cook stared straight at him.
"You're right, there must be a bigger conspiracy here, and it must be this bastard Lu!"
Jobs slapped his good hand on the table.
Just like the logic is unfounded, Apple is equally unfounded and can only passively use emergency public relations to announce that all iPhone 4 users can receive free protective covers.
Jobs even publicly apologized for the first time.
But when it comes to iPhone 4, even though there are many problems, he still refuses to admit his mistakes and insists that the signal is not Apple's problem. The reason why he wants to design such an iPhone at all costs is to create a more perfect mobile phone.
At the end of the tweet, he attached his usual catchphrase:
"To leave a mark on the universe."
Apologies, compensation, feelings, and poor sales have allowed some heartbroken Apple fans to regain their enthusiasm for iPhone 4 consumption.
Apple has tortured me thousands of times, but I treat Apple like my first love.
But the return trend has only slowed down, not stopped.
At the same time, a spoof picture was circulated on the Internet.
Che Gewala's photo was replaced with Lu Fei's avatar, and came with a famous quote from the magic change: "After the press conference, Apple will give you a protective case and an apology, and will solve the antenna problem. This is not because of their conscience, nor is it because of their conscience. Not because they became good people, but because I am here and logic is there!”
