Chapter 18 Opportunities and Risks

"Yes, you heard it right. What I said is a new era," Feng Yiping emphasized with certainty as he looked at everyone present.

He also said the word "New Era" in Chinese and English.

He can understand everyone's suspicion, especially in the context of Chinese, the word "New Era" is not a simple word.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we entered a new era. After the reform and opening up, we entered a new era... Every time this represents the establishment of a new and more advanced order, and represents the gradual disappearance of the orders and things that many people have adhered to and are accustomed to.

Some are similar to an irreversible, nirvana evolution.

Wu Qian gave simultaneous interpretations to Mei Yiliang and Xingyu, who were not very smart in English on the table. "Of course, the new era I am talking about mainly refers to a new era in the commercial sense,"

"In this new era, many old models and products will be quickly abandoned by the world. I can foresee that many world-class companies that seem to be industry giants will be abandoned by this new era. The old business landscape will soon undergo earth-shaking changes...."

Wu Qian listened carefully to the boss's words, and as she listened, her tone couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although she was not very clear about what the boss said and what the boss referred to, she clearly felt her boss’s understanding and confidence in this new era.

She felt the power of this new era and the power of her boss.

If you are so confident in such a new era, you will naturally have strength.

"...What opened up this new era is an inevitable result of our technology in all aspects and development to a certain stage; it is an inevitable result of our wide application of various new technologies, new inventions and widespread use of them in production and life...."

"...Every era, there is a iconic product, the invention and application of steam engines, which opened the first industrial revolution, electricity and internal combustion engines, brought the second industrial revolution, computer invention, and brought us into the era of informatization,"

"And what I'm talking about is going to be launched by Apple. Some of us already know what product this is. I can tell you clearly that it is a brand new smartphone - but please keep it a secret for a few days,"

“The upcoming smartphone Apple releases will represent us that we have truly entered this new era.”

"This new era, we can call it the mobile Internet era,"

"Actually, it's not unfamiliar, right?" Feng Yiping said with a smile. "I guess some of us have already used a mobile product called 'Mobile Dream Network',"

"The characteristic of the mobile Internet era is to combine mobile communications and the Internet,"

"Of course, 3g has been widely used in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, so their understanding of mobile Internet is more intuitive,"

"The current mobile Internet is mainly controlled by operators. For example, although we don't use it much, Mobile launched a "treasure box" business in the past few years."

"But with Apple's redefinition of smartphones and as smartphone software and hardware become more and more excellent, the upstream of the industry will be quickly mobilized, and more and more developers will enter this industry and develop more products that are better than mobile treasure chests...."

"The further development of mobile communication technology will greatly promote this process. What I said is mainly the 4g technology that is currently being actively developed and prepared in the international community...,"

Mei Yiliang and Zhou Xingyu, who are not very good at English, will find that their Chinese is not very good at Chinese. They can hear all the words they say clearly, but they can't understand what these words mean.

Wu Qian is actually the same, including Pan Shimin.

But other people, especially the few people on Facebook, are already smiling. Hong Haoyu and Rubin and other engineer-born guys are also thinking, obviously they understand what Feng Yiping is saying.

Feng Yiping noticed their doubts, "Or we can directly say that the so-called mobile Internet, as the name implies, is mainly based on mobile terminals, that is, a lot of work we need to complete on computers in the future will be transferred to mobile terminals, such as smartphones."

Oh, now, no one doesn't understand what this means.

"This seemingly simple change contains many risks and opportunities, especially with the popularization of 4G technology in the future, we will find that many traditional boundaries, boundaries and barriers will gradually disappear," he said.

"What does this mean? To put it simply, it is very likely that some of the world-class large companies today may have failed before they understand what's going on," he said.

"In the future, professionals will often die in the hands of non-professional players inexplicably."

"If we don't understand this very well, we can take a look at the current situation of the Yellow Giant, Kodak,"

"In the film industry, Kodak successfully defended all its opponents, but the reason why they are struggling now is not because of their competitors, but because of the development of various technologies outside the industry,"

"First of all, not many people will use film cameras again; secondly, everyone will not wash or type out most photos as before. I can browse very easily on the computer and save it more easily. So why do you have to spend money to type out?"

"Similarly, we can predict that the camera companies that look pretty good now will become increasingly declining in the future, but the ones who defeat them will not be their peers, but...,"

"Cellphone?" many people said at the same time.

Although they were not very sure of their tone, they obviously understood the meaning of what Feng Yiping said.

"Yes, although this may take time, in the future, when we go out for travel, more often, it is enough to bring a mobile phone," Feng Yiping said.

"This time, our Facebook application will be installed on the upcoming smartphone Apple will launch. Of course, the smartphone launched by Apple this time can only support 2g mobile networks, but the next generation will definitely support 3g networks."

"This means that from the beginning, more users will choose to use their mobile phones to follow their Facebook updates and friends," he said.

"In other words, although our Facebook is currently the most popular social product, there is a very likely opportunity for a product that is not targeted at computers, but only for smartphones, and other mobile terminals that may appear in the future. However, users' preference for it may exceed our Facebook,"

"The same goes for our e-commerce," Feng Yiping glanced at Lao Ma. "In the future, there are likely many girls who will choose to shop through some e-commerce applications on their mobile phones during various gaps, such as on the way to work and when eating in a restaurant,"

"This is what I call a crisis. The achievements we have made at present only represent the past and future. Whether we can continue to be the leader in the industry depends on how we make efforts on mobile terminals including smartphones,"

"When doing well, we may still maintain our current lead, and we may also kill some masters by random punches."

"For example, our e-commerce group is currently limited to the field of online shopping. Who knows our business boundaries in the future? I think when the time comes, we will probably naturally develop other businesses that seem to be unrelated to online shopping," he said.

"To put it simply, what you eat in the future, where you eat, how you eat, and whether these problems will be solved by our e-commerce platform. Who knows? After all, Amazon is already developing their rockets and spacecraft,"

"From a more relevant aspect, will our Alipay become our close partner and a thorn in the bank's side in the future?"

"I think this is possible,"

"Similarly, will our Facebook be the biggest rival of telecom operators in the future? I hope this is, Xiaozha, please remember, next, you will develop a mobile chat tool,"

"That is, I hope that in the future, our users and friends will be able to easily send and receive instant information without making a phone call and through Facebook's mobile chat application," he said.

"Oh, OK," Zuckerberg agreed very slowly. It seems that he is digesting Feng Yiping's words and is already considering this function, how to achieve it.

"This means that if we do well, but if we do not do well, we are likely to become masters who are beaten to death by others."

"It's no joke," he said.
