Chapter 529 Orange's Development
As Lu Cheng's product launch conference officially ended, the two keywords Lu Cheng and Orange quickly became hot searches. Some people appreciated it while others questioned it, some people worshipped it while others mocked it. All kinds of comments came in, causing a fierce debate on the Internet and becoming the focus of discussion outside the Internet.
A large number of Ju fans naturally admire Lu Cheng to the extreme, and many of them even quoted famous sentences from Lu Cheng's speeches as their own mottos.
In Lu Cheng's new home, Lin Jingyi was looking at all the dissenting news on the Internet and was a little angry: "How can these people do this? This is clearly fabricated out of thin air. And these are all guys who worship foreign things. They haven't used our products yet, but they say our products are not good. It's really infuriating."
Lu Cheng took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed one to Lin Jingyi: "Don't be angry with these people. If there are people chasing, there will be people hating. Only when there are debates can there be topics, and only when there are topics can there be heat. This is also good. In fact, even if no one jumps out to criticize us, we will create topics ourselves. Don't worry, time will prove everything."
After the press conference, more than 100 offline stores of Juzi Technology started selling the product at the same time, and the official website of the website was instantly overwhelmed. On the first day of the launch, the sales volume exceeded 50,000 units, and the backend data showed that most of the customers who purchased the product were college students.
Soon after, a wave of showing off mobile phones swept across Penguin's QQ Space, Orange Community, and Tieba websites. Countless people showed off their new phones, and some also posted many photos taken with their phones.
There are also loyal fans who display every orange product they have purchased, attracting the envy of many people.
For a time, Orange mobile phones became synonymous with trend and fashion.
In the next two or three days, there were long queues at all the offline stores of Orange Mobile Phones, and the stocks online were sold out long ago.
All major offline stores were urging for delivery of goods, and the inventory of the Orange Electronics Factory began to run out.
For a time, oranges were in short supply.
At this time, hunger marketing had not yet been overused, and short-term shortages made the product even more popular.
With the arrival of September, major universities have started the new term, and Orange mobile phones have also entered the campuses of major universities.
After a period of time, major stores replenished their supplies and the sales of oranges entered a stable phase.
By the end of September, in just one month, the sales of Orange phones reached a staggering 500,000 units.
At this time, the first batch of users who bought Orange, after experiencing the excellent quality, complete functions and smooth operation of the Orange phone, also recommended this phone to their friends.
Many customers who originally planned to buy foreign brand mobile phones were also attracted by this phone and bought the Orange mobile phone which is inexpensive and has a better cost performance.
In terms of various functions, the Orange phone uses the most advanced Chinese input method, has a richer vocabulary, and is more convenient to use.
Moreover, Orange itself originated from the MP3 and MP4 industry, and the music and video playback functions of Orange mobile phones far exceed similar products on the market.
It is precisely because of the good performance of various functions that many doubts about the Orange mobile phone have been cleared.
By October, major domestic mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung all cut their prices in an attempt to win back those lost customers.
In fact, at this time, Nokia and Motorola had already accumulated a group of stable customers with their excellent quality and reputation. Samsung, as a latecomer, still had many problems and was far behind the other two.
Therefore, Samsung is more eager to compete for the Chinese market and has the largest price cuts.
This also confirms what Lu Cheng said at the press conference, that the prices of mobile phones from major foreign brands are too inflated.
At the same time, under the guidance of Lu Cheng, Lin Jingyi completed her undergraduate studies one year ahead of schedule and continued her graduate studies at the University of Tokyo.
As for Lu Cheng, it took him just over a year to complete his master's studies and start his doctoral career.
In the field of computer science, Lu Cheng has already demonstrated his ability with his solid level and works, and is more professional than many professors in the Computer Science Department of Tokyo University.
Therefore, while studying at school, Lu Cheng mainly studied architecture courses.
After entering their senior year, the students all cherished their last years of college life. Those who had failed courses were studying hard to accumulate enough credits and GPA to successfully obtain their graduation and degree certificates.
For those of you in the Department of Architecture, since it is a five-year program, one year longer than others, you still have a lot of courses to study in your senior year.
Although Lu Cheng still returned to school from time to time, he spent less and less time in the boys' dormitory.
With a spacious bed to sleep on at home, Lu Cheng didn’t want to go back home and sleep on the bunk bed often.
Moreover, Lu Cheng has recently devoted most of his energy to Orange Technology, and is leading the company's technical team to develop a complete mobile operating system.
In January 2007, Apple launched the iOS operating system, ushering in a new era of smartphones. In November of the same year, Google launched the Android operating system. Since then, Apple and Android phones have gradually occupied the market, and non-smartphones have gradually been eliminated.
If you want to break this pattern, it would be best to launch a mobile operating system before IOS appears.
The development of hardware still requires many prerequisites, but software development does not have so many restrictions for Lu Cheng. After all, cross-border tablets have operating systems, artificial intelligence, and so on that will be available a hundred years from now.
Of course, future software cannot be supported by current hardware.
It is not so easy to develop a complete mobile operating system. So many domestic companies have been working on it for so many years, but in the end only Hongmeng has emerged.
Even Google quietly acquired the Android machine technology team in 05, and after more than two years of development, it finally had the perfect Android operating system.
Therefore, Lu Cheng also led the team personally, doing research and development while teaching, to cultivate the research and development capabilities of his team.
To this end, Orange Technology set up a separate project team last year to start learning and research and development.
In the future, product iteration, improvement, and expansion will all be completed by this team.
Of course, this group absorbs fresh blood every year and continues to grow.
In terms of hardware, the investment of Orange Lab is no less than that of Orange Technology, and the focus is on the chip named "Qinglong" by Lu Cheng. The cycle of this project may be very long, and the continuous investment may increase, but if we don't do it now, we may be controlled by others in the future. Even if we spend more money, we must build the foundation of chip technology as soon as possible.
To this end, Lu Cheng would occasionally take out some technology that would be available in two or three years' time to appropriately speed up the research and development process.
As for display screens, domestic brands are doing well. Two companies will become the main suppliers of major mobile phone brands in the future. Juzi is also keeping an eye on the products of these two companies. As long as they are not too much worse than foreign products, you can switch to domestic screens.
With the upgrading of lithium battery technology, mobile phone memory, cameras, display screens and other hardware, mobile phones, MP4 and other products are also constantly being upgraded.
To invest so much in scientific research, the company naturally needs to make more money to be able to afford it.
As a result, various products such as Orange Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, fans, etc. appeared one after another.
One day, Lu Cheng even suddenly gave an order to the electronics factory to produce a simple, good-looking and easy-to-use power strip, which was immediately sold out, directly leading to a significant price drop for a certain brand of power strip.
As Orange has entered more and more fields, a saying has begun to circulate on the Internet: the one who defeats you may not be a competitor in the same field, but may be someone from another field.
