Chapter 251 New Ideas

Duke has already chosen the next goal, which is the TV market with the largest number of users in the world. Compared with the mobile phone market, the total number of users in this market is even more than that.

Although this market now looks like a sunset market, the annual sales volume is only 250 million units, and the number of units per person is much smaller than that of mobile phones. After all, the service life of a TV is much longer than that of a mobile phone.

However, Duke did not think there was no chance in this market. When Jobs was promoting his entry into the mobile phone market, many industry experts also thought that Jobs was crazy because he was already highly saturated in the mobile phone market and there were almost invincible giants like Nokia.

However, with the redefined mobile phone concept, Jobs entered the top high-end market of mobile phones in one fell swoop and achieved great success. He almost redefined the mobile phone industry and created a huge money-making product for Apple in a sunset industry.

The TV market was also something that Jobs had once looked at, but unfortunately his premature death, which led to the incongruous and mediocre reactions of the ITV that was launched later. It was completely without the momentum of the iPhone to subvert the entire industry, and was destroyed invisibly.

But Duke doesn't believe in evil. So far, he has the most core parts of the new generation of smart TVs, including independent operating systems, and can share mobile phone systems. The high-end display screen under development and customized CPUs are already extremely convenient for voice control technology.

It can be said that in terms of key technologies and components, Duke has laid an extremely strong foundation for the new generation of smart TVs. Now it is time to use its imagination to redefine the TV again.

In Duke's view, a true smart TV must go beyond the scope of simply receiving and watching programs, but should be a more comprehensive convergence of multiple home media, which can fully intervene or change the entertainment and living habits of a family user.

But TVs are by no means as simple as a computer and a monitor. If so, the market will be filled with all kinds of so-called smart TVs.

In Duke's mind, the external hardware of a real smart TV is closer to a tablet that is enlarged many times. But the real connotation is far more than this. Just like the iPhone back then, it is not just a mobile phone with some computer functions, but a personal entertainment communication center that concentrates applications and entertainment life.

When TVs are no longer just for watching TV, what changes will happen to the world?

Duke is very much looking forward to that one day, his product can occupy a person's life. He gets up and goes to work that day, remembers to bring his own mobile phone and walks on the road, so that wonderful music can be accompanied by, or a friend on QQ who has never been familiar with him but is extremely familiar with him, even though he seems a little stunned to himself.

Then on a business trip, I will demonstrate and explain to the customer. I don’t have to drag my heavy luggage, but take my mobile phone directly to the customer’s projection, which will handle a successful pre-sales speech concisely and elegantly.

When I got home, I turned on the SAL production TV. I watched TV when I wanted to watch TV, listen to music when I wanted to listen to music, played games when I wanted to play games, bought things when I wanted to buy things, and called my own computer friends directly. I even forgot that there is still something like computer in this world.

But to achieve this, the TV ecosystem that Duke wants is more complex and huge than that of mobile phones. He wants to integrate content providers, entertainment and shopping portals, and what Duke wants to do is to occupy the terminal desktop in this ecosystem, just like the Penguin in the Internet era.

To build a TV into a terminal for people's daily life and entertainment, and to solve almost 90% of people's needs, it has to be said that Duke's grand idea has really subverted the definition of TV. If this day really comes, Duke will no longer be a company that simply sells disposable products, but has become a company that controls people's entertainment and life entrances.

Such a future will completely exceed people's current imagination. When there is no barrier to communication between mobile phones, TVs and computers, what kind of world is this?! It's so exciting to think about it.

Three days later, Duke perfected this idea, brought the demo document and the code of the main translator translation engine module needed by Zhao Jianwu, Shi Ran came to the company and called several brothers over.

"Brother Wu, this is what you want. Don't forget. Just keep the source code yourself. If you have time, you can check it yourself and change it yourself if you have any questions. It took me several days to do this thing, and I will only rely on your own in the future. I don't care." Duke handed the U disk to Zhao Jianwu who came to the meeting and said jokingly.

"Don't worry, this is a priceless treasure, haha." Zhao Jianwu got the thing and smiled with a rare smile: "This thing comes out, and children's shoes who simply learn English can change their careers. When this thing becomes popular in a few years, our brothers will basically not need to translate or something when they go abroad."

"You dream, how much do you really expect this thing to be sold? Most people who stay in their own country use this thing at all. Business people require accurate requirements, so they won't feel at ease using it." Dong Feng attacked Zhao Jianwu.

"What's even more annoying is that you have to use this thing in pairs. Otherwise, even if you can understand the other person's words, the other person still doesn't understand what you said. You can't buy a pair as soon as you buy it. You have to communicate with the other person and lend it to him temporarily, right?"

"Hey, madman, your suggestion is good." Zhao Jianwu was not only not hit, but was as if he was very talented. "We really made a pairing to sell this thing. Anyway, the cost is only one mp3. Even if one pair is not very expensive, it would be huge profits if it could be sold at $300,400."

"You can sell it for $300,400," Dong Feng didn't believe that this single-function thing could be sold so expensively.

"Don't believe it. You should know that you can just take an English course now. Three or four thousand yuan is cheap. You still have to spend a lot of time learning. It may not be possible to understand the foreigners' speeches." Cai Siqiang explained with a smile. "So there should be a market for this thing, but I don't know how big it is. Anyway, the things have been made, and you can try it out by mass production."

"But Duke, you probably won't call your brothers to chat because of this incident." It can be seen that Cai Siqiang is not very concerned about this thing. In his opinion, this thing may be sold for about one billion US dollars. This is an amazing product in ordinary companies. However, now the navigation device under SAL, which sells over ten billion US dollars, has now become a little brother.

"Of course there is a big thing to discuss." Duke smiled and turned on the computer, connected the projector, and explained his idea in detail.

The response was not as enthusiastic as imagined. Because the brothers were all stunned.

ps: The fourth update! I will support the book friend "Liang Zhu is a good person". Wuwu, it is so enthusiastic, and there is a new support. This update cannot be reduced! There are still 11 additional updates left!
