Chapter 740: Another epoch-making acquisition that eventually became a joke

"Are you ready for the company to start researching smart watches?"

As soon as Lei Jun heard Huang Xinglong's words, he understood what he meant.

After all, Xia Qingqing just introduced smart watches on stage for most of the day, which must have made many companies want to enter this market.

Compared with other products, smart watches are obviously the most suitable for mobile phone companies to produce.

In this way, it can form a better linkage effect with the mobile phone and exert the power of one plus one than two.

"Not only smart watches, I think many other products can be considered as long as they can be combined with smartphones."

"For example, Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, and even smart home products such as projectors and air purifiers."

"As long as we play this concept well, I think the company can go public and raise funds at least two to three years earlier."

When Huang Xinglong said this, Lei Jun immediately became interested.

This is indeed the truth.

For the fourth wave of attack, Apple chose watches.

"Wang, please immediately arrange for someone to investigate and find out when Honor Mobile started designing smart watches and where the main members of their design team come from."

MP3 players existed before the iPod, but Apple's products keep you hooked.

The iPad takes tablets from the fringes and into the mainstream, surpassing the efforts of companies like Nokia and Microsoft over the past few years.

When the Honor mobile phone computer appeared, Kuka also silently accepted it.

But when he saw HONORWATCH, he was no longer calm!

As early as October 2011, shortly after the death of then-Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Kuka arranged for relevant personnel to start envisioning an Apple Watch.

This definitely had a huge impact on KUKA.

At the dinner table, someone buried himself in his cell phone and couldn't help but reach into his pocket whenever there was a vibration or sound.

After all, when HONOR 3G came out, he had endured even greater impacts.

He is a self-aware person.

"At that time, some development stories of this product should be slowly released."

The goal of Apple Watch is to liberate people from their phones.

Unexpectedly, the Apple watch has not been developed yet, but the smart watch of Honor mobile phone is about to be launched.

This matter has something going on.

Ive, Apple's vice president of design, began an in-depth examination of the watch industry, studying how observations of the sun's position gave rise to clocks and then to watches.

This would be a new phase in the Apple dynasty, the first product without the guidance of Steve Jobs.

"Kuka, in the past year, I have been paying close attention to news related to Honor mobile phones, but no news has reported information about HONORWATCH."

After Honor Mobile ended its 2012 new product launch event, the American side also began to enter a working day.

"Just like after our smartphone was launched, consumers immediately rushed to buy it. It can be said that it is hard to find one."

Kuka was the final decision-maker, and his requirements were very high: for example, he would say that the metallic feel was too heavy and not natural enough.

There is a 12-hour time difference between the United States and China.

He plans to launch the Apple Watch as the most disruptive product since he becomes CEO.

How could the value of the company skyrocket if it is not listed on the market?

"Now that Honor Mobile has launched smart watches, I don't think they will give up some other peripherals. Will we be able to compete with them by then?"

In the process, they have even begun designing and producing some early prototypes.

"If we produce smart watches priced at 1000 to 2000 yuan by then, I think there will still be a market."

In the process, the Apple team found a reason for the watch’s existence, which can be summarized as follows: Your phone is destroying your life.

There are very few entrepreneurs in China who don’t want to take their companies public.

"There is a high probability that Honor Mobile will not give up these products, but Honor Mobile has always taken the high-end route, and not all consumers are their customers."

He was obsessed with watch technology, and this obsession also created products.

Apple also has similar ideas.

The iPhone transformed the smartphone from a business device into a pop culture icon.

"But now that their products have been officially launched, they will probably be interviewed by various media soon."

High expectations and intense scrutiny were inevitable, and in KUKA terms, this watch had to be insanely good.

Although Lei Jun is a very confident person, facing such a giant as Honor mobile phone, confidence alone is definitely not enough.

People carry their phones with them and check their screens frequently.

After all, Apple has transformed three important areas of consumer electronics over the past dozen years, and in the process has grown into the most valuable company on the planet.

They meet weekly, and the software and interaction teams work together to test things like how incoming phone calls sound and feel.

After Huang Xinglong explained this, Lei Jun couldn't help but nodded.

When Kuka saw the mobile phones and PAD products of Honor Mobile, although he was a little worried, they were still within the acceptable range.

As the CEO of Apple, Kuka naturally received relevant reports immediately.

Wang Ziming obviously did not realize that Kuka attached great importance to this information.

In his view, the emergence of HONORWATCH, although amazing, is a disruptive product.

But Apple can also quickly launch similar products, and we still don’t know who will win by then.

How did he know that the Apple Watch project has been in progress for a year.

Now that he has been intercepted, Kuka is very angry and wants to know if there is any other story behind this matter.

"I hope that the Huaxia branch will make inquiring about information related to Honor mobile phone development HONORWATCH the most important thing in the next week."

Kuka was very unhappy and gave a very straightforward instruction.

This made Wang Ziming feel strange.

However, Wang Ziming was not stupid. From Kuka's tone, he could hear the other party's displeasure.

"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away."

"I think smart watches are indeed a very good direction. The company can consider developing similar products next, which may bring unexpected surprises to everyone."

It was okay if Wang Ziming didn't say this, but when he said this, Kuka's mood became even more depressed.

The Apple Watch project is a highly confidential project, and even Wang Ziming, the general manager of the China branch, does not know about it.

So it’s hard for Kuka to say anything.

“Dudududu!

What greeted Wang Ziming was the sound of the other party hanging up the phone.

Obviously, Kuka didn't know what to say and was not in the mood to explain anything to Wang Ziming, so he hung up the phone directly.
