404: Pingguo iPhone? (Thanks to Drunk 05

At this moment, Steve Jobs, troubled, resolutely said, “No matter what, even if we can’t defeat the Dawn S3 smartphone, we must become the world’s second-largest mobile phone company.”

As Steve Jobs spoke, a hint of confidence rose within him.

Steve Jobs believed that their iphone phone was the second-best mobile phone, only surpassed by the Dawn S3 mobile phone, and even the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone couldn't compare to them in some aspects.

The reason for this, besides the stronger hardware configuration of the iphone phone compared to the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone, was primarily due to the iphone phone having numerous core selling points.

As for what those core selling points were?

In summary, they included the Siri Artificial Intelligence assistant, a more powerful 4-megapixel mobile phone camera, Apple's exclusive OIS optical image stabilization technology, the iOS system, and the Apple A1 processor developed based on the ARMv7 architecture launched in 2004…

It's worth noting that many of the core technologies in Pingguo Company's iphone phone were self-funded and developed.

Because of this, the smartphones of the other Four Major Mobile Phone Giants had already been out for quite some time.

Apple's iphone phone was late, and it would take about two more months to be truly completed.

However, being late had its advantages, because it didn't go along with the other Four Major Mobile Phone Giants.

Although the numerous core selling points of Apple's iphone phone were not as good as Shuguang Technology's mobile phones.

But because the core technologies were its own and didn't need to be shared with others, this, in turn, became a unique selling point for Apple Mobile Phone.

However, whether consumers would buy into Apple Mobile Phone's approach was another matter.

After all, the current mobile phone market had two major camps, and it wouldn't be easy for Apple Mobile Phone to become the third camp.

As for what those two major camps were? They were the Symbian system camp and the Dawn Smart Phone System camp.

Among them, the Dawn Smart Phone System camp's status was similar to that of the Apple iOS system camp in the previous life, while the Symbian system was similar to the Android mobile phone system camp.

At this time, Pingguo Company wanting to join in was undoubtedly similar to the late-arriving Hongmeng system, and whether Apple Mobile Phone could ultimately survive was also an unknown.

After all, the Apple iOS mobile phone system in this life had lost its first-mover advantage, and their system didn't have any exclusive games or software.

In this situation, whether those game companies would develop specific games and software for the iOS system, or even port corresponding game software to the iOS system, was also an unknown.

But who knows what the future holds?

Lin Chen still attached great importance to Steve Jobs, although according to the current situation, it would be difficult for the Apple iphone phone in this life to achieve the same status as in the previous life.

But Lin Chen was still very wary of Apple Mobile Phone and the iOS system camp; when the iphone phone is officially released, it will surely face a round of heavy blows from Shuguang Technology.

However, according to the current development progress of the iphone phone, this event will also happen two months later.

After all, the current iphone phone has not been truly completed, and its specific launch still needs some time to brew.

And so, time slowly passed, and in the following period, the sales of Shuguang Mobile Phone were quite stable.

Globally, for every 100 high-end mobile phones sold, 80 high-end mobile phones were Dawn S3 smartphones.

According to this situation, the sales of Dawn S3 smartphones are expected to reach 120 million units in the next year!

It can be said that the sales of Dawn S3 smartphones are even stronger than during the previous Dawn S3 period, and the sales of the mid-range mobile phone Xinghuo Generation 1 are also quite strong.

According to the current sales proportion of the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone, if other mobile phone manufacturers cannot launch a smartphone with a much higher cost-performance ratio than the Xinghuo Generation 1 in the next year.

Then the Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone's dominance of the mid-range market will be inevitable, though this is impossible, because the Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone is not without competitors in the mid-range mobile phone field.

Not to mention, if other manufacturers' current high-end mobile phones reduce their prices to that of mid-range mobile phones, they can directly compete with the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone!

Among them, although the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone has many advantages, it is not irreplaceable.

So if their mobile phones drop their prices to that of mid-range mobile phones, and the price is even cheaper than the Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone, it will cause some trouble for the Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone.

Of course, whether they will lower prices is a matter for the future, after all, choosing dignity or real benefits is a question that needs to be weighed.

As for how many Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phones will be sold?

If everything develops smoothly, theoretically, 230 million Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phones can be sold within the next year.

If the development is not smooth, the final sales may only be a little over 100 million, so how much the future sales will be is truly a mystery.

In short, Shuguang Technology will fully defend its dominant position in the mid-to-high-end mobile phone market, striving to sell more mobile phones, after all, Shuguang Technology is truly short on cash right now.

Building car factories and developing cars requires money, developing 65-nanometer chip production equipment and improving yield rates requires money, developing mobile phone and computer hardware and software requires money, and self-development also requires money…

In this situation, Shuguang Technology will absolutely not allow others to grow bigger, but will fully defend its market dominance and sales.

However, these are all matters for the future; in the coming period, Shuguang Technology will appear relatively calm.

But a tree desires calm, yet the wind won't cease; the United States's anti-monopoly lawsuit is in full swing, even encountering danger several times and almost losing.

However, thanks to the efforts of the relevant lawyers, the crisis was successfully averted, at the cost of a significant increase in legal fees.

So, in some respects, the anti-monopoly lawsuit is continuously draining Shuguang Technology's fresh blood.

A large amount of Shuguang Technology's capital profits are being used for the anti-monopoly lawsuit, for hiring lawyers and relevant human and material resources; it can be said that this is truly a very disgusting matter.

But no matter how disgusting, Shuguang Technology can only forcefully endure, after all, if they lose the lawsuit, they will have to bear abnormally high fines and higher tax costs than others, and ultimately Shuguang Technology will only lose more.

Of course, facing this shameless suppression and the baseless anti-monopoly lawsuit, Lin Chen did not completely give up resistance; instead, he became more courageous with each setback.

Don't they want to suppress Shuguang Technology?

Then Shuguang Technology must strive to develop better and research more black technologies.

Strive to break the technological blockade, making their technological lead vanish, and this is the best counterattack, and the one that will cause them the most pain and regret!

Of course, in addition to this, Lin Chen also became ruthless; Lin Chen decided that he would absolutely not sell the exclusive technologies and core equipment he currently possesses, or those developed in the future, to United States enterprises!

Whoever mentions selling exclusive technologies and core equipment to United States enterprises to him, Lin Chen will get angry with them, even if the higher-ups act as lobbyists!
