   Chapter 549 A new era is coming?

  548

  Who is Myron Keyes?

   This is the first question that came to Matsuhashi's mind.

   But she quickly remembered that this was the CEO of a company that once competed with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   That company seems to have closed down, right?

   Matsuhashi almost forgot the name of this company.

  Speaking of which, this company used to be a bit legendary. Myron Keith and a few partners set up the company in the garage, and then grew into a big company in the electronics industry, but the company finally disappeared.

   There are too many companies like this, and it is normal for Songqiao to not remember it. Only those companies with a long history and strong history can always be remembered.

  Matsuhashi asked unexpectedly: "President, do you still remember this person? I almost forgot, why do you want to know about this person?"

  Take Yusei said: "I remember that his new company developed a portable player before. It was very small, so I was more impressed."

   "President, do you think that small portable player will threaten us?"

   It is not the little thing that threatens him, but the bigger vision of Myron Keyes.

   But Zhu Yuxing couldn't say it directly, and if he said it directly, he would be suspected of being a magician.

"Just a feeling, you help me find out about this person... No, no, I think I should be able to find information about him directly on the Internet, you just need to help me investigate to see if their company has any secrets The project will do."

   In business, we also pay attention to deception.

   On the commercial level, it must be difficult for ordinary people to inquire about secret information, but there are not so many barriers between large enterprises. There are means and methods among large enterprises to obtain some key information of competitors.

   Otherwise, why did Microsoft and Sony in the game console field always launch products with comparable performance at the same time?

  Why Nvidia and AMD always come on stage after you sing, and both sides are half a pound each, so the gap between the released products will not be too scary?

   For top companies, the secrets of some companies are nothing at all, unless it is some key technical secrets, which will certainly not be inquired, but it is not a big problem to inquire about the future business plans of competitors.

   After all, they are all listed companies, and they inevitably have to disclose some data information.

Matsuhashi still didn't quite understand Zhu Yuxing's idea, but since it was Zhu Yuxing's request, Matsuhashi also honestly implemented it. This is not a big problem for her now, it's easy to do it. Can find a way to solve it.

   And Zhu Yuxing immediately turned on the computer and started searching for information related to Myron Keith.

   This is a key figure.

  If he is comparable to Jobs in his previous life, then Myron Keyes may have begun to plan a new round of era changes.

   Take Yuxing deeply remembers the scene when Steve Jobs took out their first mobile phone at the press conference.

  The epoch-making touch, minimalist design, and the pursuit of excellence in industrial electronics have made IPHONE a super product that has influenced decades.

   A smartphone also made Apple the most profitable company in the world in later generations.

   They even managed to make an average of more than 2,000 US dollars per second, even if they did some criminal things, they couldn’t keep up with the speed of Apple’s making money.

   After turning on the computer, Zhu Yuxing searched for news related to Myron Keith in the search window.

   Soon relevant information was presented.

  Myron Keith, the former CEO of Red Fruit Company, the founder of Red Fruit Company, but was kicked out of the company by shareholders because of disagreement with the idea, and later set up a new company, named Mikford, engaged in the field of fashion electronic products.

  The main products of Mikford are several portable audio devices and a home computer product.

Several portable audio products are very small. The smallest product is only the size of a thumb. It can be clipped on clothes or carried anywhere on the body. It is very convenient, and because of the rapid development of storage technology, such a very small product is now Thousands of songs can be stored easily, allowing users to listen to music anytime, anywhere.

  According to the latest market survey data, several audio playback devices have sold more than one million units, and are already veritable popular products.

Mikford's personal computer product line has just been developed. It is said that all the old developers who were originally from Hongguo Company were re-recruited, and then a new team was formed. This is a very experienced team. , It only took a month to develop a home computer with independent intellectual property rights, and it successfully achieved mass production within a year.

   And many core hardware devices including processors are also developed by this team completely independently, and the research and development capabilities are very strong.

   The more Zhu Yuxing looked, the more he felt that this Myron Keyes was really possessed by Jobs.

   This guy is really unusual.

   Sure enough, although the world is a parallel world, the names may be different, but the trajectory of history will always be very similar.

  I can only be regarded as a little butterfly that shakes the trajectory of this world a little, and the storm that I stir up can only affect it for a while. The mainstream trajectory of history is difficult to shake.

  Look at the fact that Myron Case has re-established a new company, and it has a trend of rising again.

   Take Yuxing immediately realized that the era of mobile Internet is coming.

   If you want to say that the mobile Internet affects you, it should be the handheld business.

   Because of the birth of the mobile Internet, smartphones have more functions, which is destined to make the handheld business shrink rapidly. It was not until more than ten years later that the handheld showed signs of recovery.

   The information that Zhuyouxing can search on the Internet is still very small, and it is impossible to search for more in-depth information.

   This can only be done by Matsuhashi or others.

   Looking at the introduction of Myron Keys on the Internet, Take Yuxing realized that he should make some countermeasures.

   It is time to temporarily abandon the handheld business and quietly wait for the moment when the handheld returns.

   And just as Take Yusei expected, Matsuhashi Mitsuhashi passed more news about Mikford Company early the next morning.

   According to the information obtained through multiple channels of retailers, parts suppliers and foundries, Mickford is indeed doing some kind of planning with a lot of money.

  The detailed product line cannot be known, but you can find out that the other party is using communication-related technologies, and these technologies are closely related to mobile phones.

   In other words, Mickford is already trying to develop a mobile phone, and with Myron Case's character, he probably won't develop that kind of simple feature phone.

   Seeing this information, Zhu Yuxing knows that the era of smartphones is really coming!
