The press conference was over, and the 128 direct-operated stores in the Costa del Sur in China began to queue up for purchase the next day. This grand occasion has not happened for almost three years.

As soon as the azure-4 was announced, it became a new benchmark in the industry. Industry insiders and consumers are now discussing this flagship phone, and the popularity remains high.

However, the high heat of discussions has made the outside world's comments on Azure-4 polarized.

One side is strongly supported. These people mainly include the "basic plate" of the Azure smartphone, that is, the hard-core fans and Luo Sheng's fans. The rhythm is simply blowing. Various Azure-4s redefine the benchmark for smartphones. The second is the technology blogger of Chafan. After collecting money from advertisers, it is naturally blowing the rhythm. Moreover, the Azure-4 is worthy of its name. So far, no competitors can compare with it.

On the other hand, it is criticized, mainly based on industry insiders and the media industry. The point of criticism is that the price of azure-4 is too expensive and it is simply very expensive.

The flagship phone products of domestic friendly companies are also sold at two or three thousand yuan, while the international friendly companies only dare to sell at three or four thousand yuan, so they dare not raise them up. Samsung or Apple are carefully testing the high-end zone.

The Costa delle is so good that I will greet you 7888 and have few friends who can resist it.

Many media are criticizing that the sales of the azure-4 may end up being bleak. Although the product is good, the pricing is too high.

A friendly businessman in the industry posted a message on Weibo the same night after the press conference of the Azure-4:

[There is no point in using a 2k screen with a screen that is less than 5 inches for a friend. It is completely a waste of time to get the wool of consumers. It is a bit too much for a mobile phone to sell for 7888]

There are also two pictures, one is the front screen of the Azure-4 phone, and the other is the front screen of the latest product of the friendly company. It seems that the difference is not much, while the former costs 7,888 yuan, while the latter only costs 1,999 yuan.

The subtext is that consumers who choose the former are cut off and collect IQ tax. Don’t be fooled. Come and buy 1999. As long as 1999, you can’t buy it and suffer losses, and you can’t buy it…

This news was released, and netizens who were good at watching the fun and didn't bother to repost it immediately. They also @ Luo Sheng's Weibo, and the fans on both sides began to quarrel with each other.

Luo Sheng was @ed at the argument on Weibo, but he ignored it after following it for a while, and it was even more unlikely that it would pop up.

The executives of the Costa delle will not jump out and interact with their competitors online, and were warned by the boss a while ago.

Luo Sheng really didn't care, and even was a little funny because both sides were noisy on Weibo, and the final profit was Blue Star Technology, which was an Internet social product under Blue Star Technology. The noise between the two sides brought traffic and popularity.

Then, Bluestar Technology is Luo Sheng Enterprise again.

In this closed-loop Internet ecosystem, you can't lose no matter how you come.

Although there is occasionally "interaction" between the Costa ça de Azure and its companions, of course, the Costa ça de Azure seems a bit colder, and generally the companions take the initiative to "interaction".

However, this "interaction" is not that intense now, because the entire smartphone industry is currently in an era of increasing volume, rather than an era of stock.

Simply put, although the competition in the smartphone industry is trending towards the red ocean, major brand manufacturers are currently eating because the market is not fully saturated and global shipments are always growing.

If it was the era of stock, if the production capacity was overcapacity, it might not be as harmonious as it is today. It would be a life-and-death rhythm, and the shopping mall is the battlefield.

But again, one company of the Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à Costa à was jealous of many competitors. After all, the profits were taken away by your family, and everyone was chasing the sip of soup. So if you can give Costa à Costa à, the competitors were still very enthusiastic.

The press conference of the Azure-4 did not receive unanimous praise, but was polarized in popularity. The critics attacked the high price point, intending to instill consumers that the Azure-4 mobile phone is a product with high quality and low price.

In fact, I also want to instill in consumers that things are not beautiful, but the problem is that Azure is really beautiful, and this is really unlucky.

I was also very happy to see someone working on the Costa del Azure, and it would be OK to do it together.

...

Costa del Azure Laboratory.

The Azure-4 flagship phone will have to wait a few days before meeting consumers. The outside world is fighting and making noise, but Luo Sheng and the engineer team of the Costa delle and corporate executives have begun to quietly layout the next generation of flagship phone products.

That is, azure-5. In fact, as early as the first half of the year after the azur-4 was finalized, azure-5 had already begun iterative development. Now that the launch of the azure-4 is about to be released, a large number of R&D engineer teams have begun to move into the research and development of next-generation products.

"...The under-screen camera is not impossible to implement, but there will be a series of new problems. Moreover, if the front camera is placed under the screen, it will affect the 'screen effect' of the photo screen. These shortcomings make it very difficult to implement the under-screen solution."

At this moment, in a conference room in the Costa delta of the Azure Laboratory, technical experts from various modules of the Azure-5 project team gathered together to discuss technical issues with Luo Sheng.

Another engineer said: "Azure-4 has solved the problem of returning physical keys to the original desktop. Under-screen fingerprint technology will definitely become popular. Then under-screen cameras are the focus of the next generation of development. Industrial design has been carried out since early 2012, and it has basically been completed now. The drawings have reached the stage of finalization."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng who attended the meeting. The latter basically didn't speak much. The audience kept sitting with one hand on his hips and the other on the conference table, leaning forward.

At this time, Luo Sheng said: "To put it bluntly, it is a breakthrough problem for new materials. If the graphene flexible screen is overcome, the 'screen effect' of the under-screen camera will be solved, thereby achieving a truly 100% full screen."

To be honest, Luo Sheng is simply trying to kill his obsessive-compulsive disorder with the front camera above his Azure-4 phone screen. Whether it is the extreme screen solution, the water drop screen solution or the notch screen solution, the feeling of a black bump on the screen is simply unbearable.

If you use the graphene flexible screen solution, the screen transmittance can be achieved above 95%, and it can also support the advantages of bending and falling resistance. Such a solution can completely put the front camera under the screen. Due to the strong light transmittance, the "screen effect" will not appear.

Luo Sheng added: "Five years ago, the Costa delta of the Costa delta has already started to demonstrate and research on graphene preparation technology. The first year it was revealed that $1 billion in R&D budget funds were added every year. In the past five years, it has invested $15 billion, and 100 billion yuan has been invested, regardless of exchange rate changes and inflation. How is the situation now?"

After saying that, Luo Sheng turned his head to look at the technical director in charge of graphene technology research.

The latter replied: "The progress has been gained every year or even every month, but how long will it take to go before the specific commercial time? Mr. Luo... You know the most about the technology research and development work. It's hard to say. It may be done next year, but it may not be possible in ten years."

There is no time-to-quantitative indicator for scientific and technological research, and it does not mean that it can be done in a long time. Luo Sheng, who was also a scientist in his previous life, is certainly very clear about this.

But Luo Sheng is different now. The so-called butt determines the head. He knows the reason but also puts pressure on the team. He said: "Azure-5 must be released in 2015, and it must be a 100% true full-screen phone. Hidden the front camera under the screen. Graphene screen technology must be produced for me."

The technical director of the graphene technology development department complained when he heard this. When he was about to speak, Luo Sheng said to him first:

"Don't complain to me. I know you have difficulties. Who is the one who is doing innovation? What kind of innovation is there? Next year, I will allocate RMB 100 billion to your department for R&D budget. If 100 billion is not enough, then 200 billion will be available. Your department's development team can give priority to any resources you need. The bulls will go forward together, and you will be willing to cost and overcome the new material problem for me."

The other technical development teams attending the meeting couldn't help but smack their lips. The boss was simply crazy. This was really cost-effective, at all costs.

You should know that the overall R&D investment cost of the Azure-4 mobile phone is only US$1.88 billion. Of course, this is because the Costa delta of technology has been enjoying the dividends of technology over the years.

The company no longer had any background in 2004, and today's Costa delle is also accumulating its own technological background.

However, no one envies the graphene technology development department for such a great resource tilt, because this is really not an easy job, and the pressure you get is as high as the funding you get.

With such a large resource tilt and such a terrifying financial investment, as long as graphene technology is breakthrough, the future benefits will be really amazing, which will bring ten times or even hundreds of times, and will trigger a revolution in the field of new materials science, which will in turn bring unprecedented technological disruption in application scenarios.

At this time, the director of the graphene technology development department looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Okay! But Mr. Luo, but I want to borrow a scientific research team from you!"

Luo Sheng: "If you have any requirements, just say it. Give whatever you can. I will try my best to get it for you if you can't."

The other party immediately said, "I want to borrow Liu Jianwei's team from your Star Arrow International. To be honest, I have already set my sights on Professor Liu half a year ago."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, you really know how to pick treasures. OK, I will invite you to someone."

Liu Jianwei's team is the key to Xingjiang International's realization of the space ladder. However, such a century-level super project is too far away and can be lagged behind for a few years. Luo Sheng is also confident that he can convince Liu Jianwei to come and participate in the research on graphene material technology. Anyway, they are all playing with carbon atoms.

It is actually not difficult to convince Liu Jianwei. After all, he is an ambitionist of the space ladder, but he needs huge investment and has to make money first. Therefore, he came to the Costa delle to build a space ladder in the future.

A simple scientist like Liu Jianwei can never withstand the trick of the story king Luo Sheng. So he should take his team to the Coast of Azure Laboratory to develop graphene technology?

As time goes by, the release date of the domestic version of the azure-4 mobile phone has officially arrived.
