With Chen Yu's orders, Wu Kai's first stop was the United States, Germany, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
Every time they arrived in a country, Wu Kai would choose the most luxurious hotel and invite reporters from all over the world.
As for inviting them here, of course, it was to watch Wu Kai brag.
"Everyone, this is our Pear 3. Many of you might ask if the Pear 3 is an MP3 player or a watch. I can only say that Pear is an MP3 player and a watch, but it's not an MP3 player or a watch. So, what is this? Actually, this is the Pear 3. "
"Traditional MP3 players are no longer attractive. In the future, MP3 players will undergo many changes."
"This is a gift from Huanyu Technologies to the world."
Although they were overseas, Wu Kai's bragging skills did not decrease.
In fact, Wu Kai's bragging skills were even better overseas.
"CEO Wu, how do you feel about the Pear 3 and Apple's iPod?"
"Apple's iPod has been imitating our Pear 2. Do you think the iPod can be compared to the Pear 3?"
"But some consumers say that the Pear 3 is too expensive."
"I just want to say that it's not expensive because it's worth the price."
"Some industry insiders say that the Pear 3 has many flashy features and is actually useless."
"I don't know who said that, but I don't think it's a real Pear 3 user. We did a survey and found that the satisfaction rate of Pear 3 users is 99.9% … As for why it's not 100%, it's because it's too cheap. "
Of course, a lot of people were bragging. But it didn't matter if they were bragging or not. Most importantly, through these product introductions, the Pear 3 attracted the interest of people all over the world. Especially those who attended the product introductions. The moment the lights were turned off, the Pear 3 in Wu Kai's hand had a fatal attraction.
Even without looking at the other features, just the appearance and the creativity alone made him worth people's money.
…
Jin Li's phone.
"Director Liu, Pear III is very popular. Shouldn't we follow suit?"
"MP3 players seem to be a niche market. Last year, they only sold about 2 million units. Isn't that a little too little?"
"The sales were a little low in the past, but I heard that Huanyu Technologies sold 300,000 units of Pear III in a week."
"Is the data real?"
"It should be true. I heard that Huanyu Technologies has reached an agreement with Taiwan's HTC and is preparing to increase production. If we don't follow up, I'm afraid we'll miss this opportunity. "
"Alright, let's draft a feasibility report first. We'll hold a meeting to decide on this matter."
"Yes."
Jin Li's mobile phone, which was originally still observing, began to take action.
…
"Xiao Liu, you're in charge of technology. Is the Pear 3 technology difficult?"
"Mr. Xu, we've taken apart the Pear 3 and studied it. It's not particularly difficult."
"Oh, tell me."
"Although the Bluetooth technology in the Pear 3 is not widespread, this technology was invented a long time ago. It's just that the cost is slightly higher. In addition, their electronic compass technology is based on the Hall effect theory that was proposed more than 100 years ago. As long as the current conductor is placed in a magnetic field, we can achieve this technology. As for how to achieve the altitude, we can measure it through air pressure. This is not difficult. We just need to add a barometer. "
"It's that simple?"
"It's very simple."
"But why hasn't anyone done it before?"
"Mr. Xu, Pear III's technology is not the technology. It's the idea. No one had this idea before, or maybe someone had this idea before, but he didn't have the ability to make it a reality. But Huanyu Technologies made this idea a reality. That's why it amazed many people. "
"So, the Pear III doesn't have any technology?"
"It's not that it doesn't have any technology. For example, their electronic display technology. Their electronic screens are very good. We might not be able to catch up for the time being. However, we can compete with them and develop the low-end market. "
"Alright, Xiao Liu. Immediately lead a team to design the product."
"Yes, sir."
Jin Li was working with Wave Guide.
Of course, they weren't the only ones. Panda, Jin Zheng, Xia Xin, and TCL … also followed suit.
However, they didn't tell anyone else.
This kind of thing had always been done in secret. If they told anyone else, wouldn't it be exposing their trade secrets?
However, not all companies would follow suit.
For example, Lenovo had no intention of following suit.
This didn't mean that Lenovo was ignoring Pear III.
The main reason was that the person in charge of Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing, was preparing for an acquisition.
Lenovo was preparing to acquire IBM's personal computer business.
If Lenovo could complete the acquisition, it would be a huge help to Lenovo.
"Rui Yong, can you solve the problem with Pear III's Bluetooth sound quality?"
"Not yet, but it seems like many users don't buy Pear III for music."
"Then why?"
"To show off."
"Show off … haha."
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, he also felt that Pear III was good, but Yang Yuanqing had a sharp eye.
After he researched Pear III, he realized that Pear III wasn't a very mature product.
For example, the Bluetooth function.
Although the Bluetooth function could allow one to listen to music, the sound quality was too poor.
As for functions such as a compass, altitude, and thermometer, they weren't particularly practical.
Although it was possible to make them, why would an ordinary person need a compass or altitude?
The most practical thing was the electronic time display function.
After all, it could be used as a watch.
However, if that was the case, then what was the difference between Pear III and electronic watches?
Nowadays, many electronic watches only cost a few yuan, but the Lizi III actually cost more than 5,000 yuan.
"You guys can study it first. I still have something to do."
Pear III looked good, but Lenovo's most important business was computers.
As long as the computer business was secure, it didn't matter if they didn't do anything else.
This was also the reason why Yang Yuanqing was still fine when Lenovo's mobile phone was defeated by Huanyu's mobile phone.
Also, this time, he made up for his mistakes.
When he received news from IBM, he immediately contacted IBM and prepared to acquire their personal computer business.
It was also because of his hard work that he was ahead of other computer companies.
Because of this, Sect Leader Liu Chuanzhi had specially praised Yang Yuanqing a few days ago.
If this acquisition was completed, he would have no problem taking over.
However, Yang Yuanqing was a careful person.
Even though he wasn't going to follow up on Pear III, he was going to ask the other manufacturers about it.
"CEO Liu, Huanyu Technologies recently released the Pear III. It seems to be selling well."
"It seems to be selling well."
"Does that mean CEO Liu is going to follow up?"
"Why would we? We took a look. The people buying Pear III are all rich kids. Why would we follow up? Do we have a lot of money?"
CEO Jin Li received a call from Yang Yuanqing. Naturally, he wouldn't tell him the truth.
Of course, if it was before, CEO Jin Li would have told Yang Yuanqing something.
After all, Lenovo was a big brother. There was no harm in having a good relationship with him. However, there were a few times when they thought that this big brother was the one who had led them to cause trouble. In the end, they almost raised the white flag and surrendered to Huanyu Technology.
This time, when Yang Yuanqing called, CEO Jin Li didn't care whether he was a big brother or not. He just lied to him.
"That's what I thought."
Yang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction and hung up.
Then, he called a few other people.
"What, Boss Yang, you heard that other phone manufacturers are following up on Pear III?"
"Yeah, you didn't know?"
"I don't know. I don't think anyone."
"Pear III seems to be very popular. Why didn't you follow up?"
"What's there to follow? MP3 players are a niche product. They can only sell two million units a year. We won't make any money if we enter. Boss Yang, Lenovo is a big company. Why don't you give it a try? "
"Sigh, no, no. Lenovo's funds are tight."
This time, Yang Yuanqing was even more relieved.
