Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 335 The much-anticipated press conference

   After booking the plane, An Feng can consider selling Gulfstream.

   There is no rush now. It will be a year and a half before the delivery of the supersonic aircraft to the customer. If there are not enough manpower, it may be even later. If you want to sell the aircraft at a good price, you have to wait patiently for the buyer. Anfeng's Gulfstream is very new and well-maintained. It is not a problem to sell it for 60 million carefully.

  After arranging the matter to the assistant, An Feng continued to consider the competition.

  As the boss of Maserati, it is no problem for An Feng to intervene in the management, not to mention that he only cares about the events, and GP is responsible for the rest. He provided some advice on the format of the event, where and when it will be held, but more is up to the professionals.

Maserati is involved in many professional competitions, from the original FIA-GT to the Trofeo-MC of the World Championship. They have rich experience in professional racing. Anfeng just provides some forms that he wants, and does not guarantee professionalism. If it can be adopted Just better.

It is initially confirmed that it will be a five-stop competition, which will be held in various states in the United States. There are not many permanent traditional tracks in the United States for touring car racing. At present, we are looking for racing tracks that have hosted F1, such as Long Beach in California, Austin Speedway, or Las Vegas and Detroit are also under consideration.

   Soldiers and horses go ahead without food and fodder. Although Maserati has not announced the establishment of the "MC Challenge", GP Energy is planning a "GP Team" with inextricably linked insiders. The company intends to participate in events like Red Bull to increase its popularity.

  An Feng’s invitation to Duke and Howard was also carefully considered. In the field of professional racing, the company has no experience and needs to hire someone familiar with the industry. Duke is very good at running the team, the family has sponsored the NASCAR team; and Howard is very good at modifying, the last time the Ferrari F12 was personally operated by him, and he can compete with P1 and 599XX on the track. One can imagine.

   It was a good idea to invite both of them to collaborate. According to An Feng, give them 10% of the team share, and the team will be able to share dividends when they have profits, and at the same time encourage them to contribute to the team. Duke and Howard don't dispute that. Have a hobby, but also have some benefits.

  The three of them got together and discussed the event.

  Howard said: "The car can only be modified after the organizers issue modification regulations, restrictions on motor modification, and overall performance requirements."

  Duke said: "You have to consider that it is pure electric, which is different from traditional cars."

  An Feng has a deep understanding of this point: "Driving on the track, the gear and the speed can be ignored, and the torque is already at the maximum when the switch is stepped on."

  Howard said: "Then I have to try the new car."

  An Feng pointed to the garage on the side: "It's inside, the unreleased Maserati GT sports car, you two can go up and test drive."

  Duke looked at Howard: "Shall we go?"

   "Of course." Howard was very interested. The two got into the car and drove on the track for about 20 minutes. After getting off, they already had a profound experience.

  Duke is very satisfied: "It can be seen that it is a road sports car model, but it can run out of the racing track. Pure electric power is amazing."

An Feng nodded: "Maserati's technicians will probably test the electric motor to improve the fairness of the competition, and modifying the electric motor will limit the power, so they will focus more on other aspects, such as ECU, differential, suspension system or brakes. "

  Howard said: "These are very easy. It has many similarities with the tradition, including the modification of the shape. It is very important to conform to the aerodynamic principle of the track race."

  The three started researching on professional car modification. Although the rules have not been issued, they have a new car and can plan ahead. The division of labor also began. Duke is responsible for the operation of the team, the recruitment of personnel, and the logistics team is very important. It happens that he is very familiar with this aspect and has many friends.

Howard's technical director plays a very important role. He is responsible for the modification of the car, the tacit training of the training technician team, and occasionally serves as a test driver. It seems not easy, but for car fans, testing their modified vehicles is a sense The ultimate experience, he is very happy.

  As for An Feng...in charge of soy sauce and money.

  …

  One more important thing in February.

  Berger's Nokia is about to be released. A lot of public relations work has been done before, and a lot of publicity and advertising have been done. With the promotion of GP, Nokia's turnaround is highly anticipated. The time frame was fixed in late February, and Burger held a global conference in London.

  As the major shareholder, Joanna was naturally invited to attend.

  On the day of the press conference, An Feng and Joanna arrived in London and were invited to attend this high-profile press conference.

  Escorted by bodyguards and a special car, he arrived at the press conference in a certain hotel. Before the press conference started, many journalists and news media had already gathered at the scene. Simply Nokia's press conference won't get too much attention, but coupled with GP's publicity, the meaning is different.

  Now the whole world is staring at graphene technology, from batteries to chips to screens, Nokia has revealed some news about microprocessors, successfully arousing everyone's curiosity. You know, so far, the only thing that uses graphene technology in handheld mobile devices is the battery.

  Battery can improve the experience of consumers to a higher level. If there are chips and display screens, what will be the result? It is very exciting, and the attention is high. The lucky viewers who were invited to participate in the release were very excited, and they queued up early with the invitation letter.

  An Feng arrived at the right time. The two Audis stopped, and there was a crowd of people outside. Under the **** of cameras and bodyguards, he walked into the venue in a low-key manner. After An Feng and Joanna sat down, they were surrounded by acquaintances.

  Louis Hart, who was in charge of Berg Company, was also present, but like An Feng, he was the manager behind the scenes, the chairman, not the CEO standing at the front. After they exchanged a few pleasantries, the press conference was held soon. The venue is very large, and there is a huge projection screen on the stage.

  The company's CEO Richards took the stage and began to host the press conference.

Richards is tall and thin, and his clothes are very serious. He has a suit, tie, and shiny leather shoes, which reflect the rigidity of the British. He didn't go on stage like Mr. Joe, who wore a black shirt with jeans and sneakers, deliberately showing his personality charm. There's a little energy missing here.

But how about the individual, it does not affect the product, and the press conference did not disappoint the reporters. After the simple opening remarks, the big screen behind him remained unchanged, but a holographic image was projected from the bottom of the stage, continuing the content of the press conference with a highly simulated picture. Immediately After amazed the audience.

  Although GP has disclosed the holographic projection technology, the commercialization is not yet ready, and this needs to be done by a dedicated department, or GP Electronics can promote it. Anyway, what you can have on the market is either the members of the consortium or the technicians of the company.

  Live experience with real holographic technology, so that everyone's attention is focused on the stage.

With the advent of high technology, the press conference immediately became grand. Richards first showed off their in-depth cooperation with GP, and then extended the topic to mobile phones. Starting from every detail, including the key graphene screen, The frequency reaches 150GHz and integrates a GPU chip, which can make the running score party completely lose the fun of running the score, and it can be accepted by the perfect party with peace of mind.

  What he holds and holographic projection is the current first high-tech mobile phone, Nokia's R series. R means "rebirth", and it also means a new start, allowing the audience and reporters to make up their own minds. But the model is second, and the focus is still on the phone itself.

  The powerful performance is beyond doubt. Another bright spot is the new system, which has a certain degree of intelligence, can be customized, and can be automatically programmed by combining your favorite functions. Although it is still in the testing stage, the fresh experience is very high.

Let me talk about the compatibility of the new system, but there is not too much content in it, there is no need to promote the two major mobile phone systems, the new system is very open, the program design is simple, and many interesting apps can be added in the future. Backward compatibility is only a transitional period.

   After the introduction of software and hardware, the conference is already half successful.

  The invited audience and reporters all applauded that it is worth it. Whether it is a technology feast or a news report tomorrow morning, they can already foresee its popularity, and most of them have the idea of ​​buying one to experience it. From this point of view, the conference has been very successful.

   But there are more exciting things to come.

   In the applause of everyone, continue to the next item. The tenacity of graphene has been promoted before, and now it is necessary to show a real sword in front of the public. There are two tables at the scene, a fish tank is placed on one table with several goldfish swimming in it, and a box is placed on the other table.

  Richards, under the attention of the camera, threw his mobile phone into the fish tank, sat at another table, and took out what everyone was guessing about—walnuts. Laughter suddenly erupted at the scene, and An Feng also laughed. It seems that no matter at home or abroad, everyone has a deep understanding of smashing walnuts.

  Richards held up the walnut: "I think everyone knows that this is a walnut, very hard, and you can't enjoy its deliciousness with ordinary methods."

   "We can't carry a hammer with us." Richards picked up the Nokia, "but I have it."

  The scene laughed again, and Richards said seriously: "Trust me, it won't let you down."

   As soon as the voice fell, the Nokia screen fell on the walnuts on the table! There was a crackling sound, and the audience held their breath. He did it again, and the walnut was smashed. The audience could feel the damage to the mobile phone just by listening to the sound. If it was an apple in their hands, the other kidney would probably be gone...

But Richards was not in a hurry, calmly picked up the phone and showed it to the camera and the audience. Everyone could clearly see that the impact point of the walnut was the screen. He wiped it with his hands and it was unscathed. Turn on the computer, use the program normally, and make a call.

  The Nokia in the goldfish bowl rang.

   "That's it," Richards said.

  The audience burst into loud applause. Violent and direct, Nokia smashed walnuts, and the legend of blocking bullets returned! And in this form of contempt for other competitors! Enough to pull, but also enough to capture the confidence of consumers. Then continue to show other means of violence.

Such as dropping a mobile phone, scratching the screen, etc. It can be said that as long as it is not intentionally violently damaged and does not affect the circuit board inside, the graphene screen and metal body can completely withstand it, and the airtightness is also very good, at least until Cell phones in the water are still working.

  Richards also said a fact in the form of a joke: "Strictly speaking, when you are facing a bullet and cornered, please believe it!"

The strength of graphene is more than 20 times that of the "Kevlar" material used in current body armor, and more than 100 times that of steel. As long as the multi-layer splicing of graphene can be realized-this is the most difficult part-it can be manufactured The strongest, lightest body armor ever made.

   And just right, GP company has this ability.

  Even if the screen is not as strong as bulletproof material, but blocking bullets...maybe not a legend!

  Finally, the press conference came to an end with long applause from the audience.

The reporters who edited with notebooks on the spot were excited. This is undoubtedly the most sensory press conference they have ever seen. In the first half, they showed off the technology of GP, which can only be described as "invincible". In the second half, they smashed their phones violently The process made the audience shout wonderful.

  Now if there is a questionnaire survey, almost all participating audiences will choose to buy it and experience it.

   Something so high-tech, it feels primitive to miss out.

  After the press conference, the shareholders were presented with brand new mobile phones, as were An Feng and Joanna. Experience technology was at the forefront. Take a trip to London and get two of the world's most powerful mobile phones. On that day, the news around the world began to report fiercely on the matter of Nokia mobile phones.

  News websites in various countries, especially those related to mobile phone technology, as long as you click on the homepage, you can see the video of the press conference about Nokia’s “Rebirth” series, and even some websites that have nothing to do with technology have room for space. The official YouTube video has gone viral.

Berg Company did not hire any sailors, but now as long as you go online, you can more or less see related reports. The media collectively climaxed and promoted Berg Company for free, even if some executives of mobile phone manufacturers complained Big screens, metal bodies or whatever, it doesn't help.

How those high-level executives complained and felt that the high-end mobile phones they produced could not cover up the technological light brought by Nokia. Even if there were flaws, people were immersed in the powerful technology of GP and the incomparable mobile phones at this time. Can't afford the slightest disturbance.

As things went smoothly, there were hot discussions on the Internet and hot news. Burger Company stated that it would put into production as soon as possible, and the cooperation with Asian foundries was also under negotiation. It depends on the production of GP Electronics.

   "Quasi-fans" turned their attention to GP Electronics.

Over the past few years, GP has successfully developed to the point where the world has become numb. The only pity is that they are too mysterious and procrastinating—in fact, this is an illusion caused by too hot demand. Even if GP is twice as fast, they It cannot make up for future needs.

GP Electronics is also under a lot of pressure. Recently, it has been working on mainframe and PC processors, and now it is spreading mobile processors... But the spokesperson said that he will go all out, and finally let some impatient Nokia fans settle down, and turn to Expect the first shipments probably in March.

  After An Feng returned to the United States, he simply browsed the news and heaved a sigh of relief. The mobile phone is very popular, which proves that the efforts these days have not been in vain.
