Chapter 1029 Opening

Facing the media and reporters, Katsuhiko Machida did not hide his dislike for Onyx Technology's new products. Although he did not explicitly say that Onyx-A2 e-reader would suffer a crushing defeat, the meaning of the words still emphasized his concept. Even if the pre-sale of A2 e-reader sets a record, it will still be abandoned by users after it starts to be officially sold!

Machida Katsuhisa has to say that Onyx Technology's choice to stop cooperation with Sharp is indeed a bit beyond Machida Katsuhisa's expectations.

Katsuhisa Machida, who has always been known for his arrogance, created Sharp's LCD panel empire. When Sharp was building a Kameyama LCD factory for LCD production lines, Katsuhisa Machida arrogantly announced to All-Ni Benzene that "Sharp will turn All-Ni Benzene color TVs into Sharp's LCD products!"

It is precisely because of Katsuhisa Machida's arrogance that Sharp surpassed Samsung and Sony in a short time and became the number one in the LCD panel field!

This time, the sudden terminal cooperation between Sharp and Onyx Technology was really a bit passive. But now Machida Katsuhiko can only hold on and declare to the outside world that Onyx Technology will only lose a crushing defeat if Onyx Technology leaves Sharp's screen.

Otherwise, the better the A2 reader sold by Onyx Technology, wouldn’t it mean that Sharp is not that important in the e-reader industry? Machida Katsuhiko did not expect that Onyx-A2 reader can get amazing sales if it is only pre-sale!

When he heard Katsuhisa Machida, a reporter immediately began to dig a hole, "President Katsuhisa Machida, are you not optimistic about the development of Onyx-A2 e-reader, or even the entire e-reader industry?"

The other reporters also pointed the camera and the microphone at Katsuhisa Machida, waiting for Katsuhisa Machida to jump into the trap. The last one who said in front of the media was Apple's Joe's Gangmaster, but he still couldn't escape the law of "Masaki". When the interview report of Joe's Gangmaster was still broadcast on TV, Apple has begun to enter the e-reader industry now!

Katsuhiko Machida did not jump into the trap. He was targeting Onyx Technology, not the entire reader industry.

"I am very optimistic about the prospects of the e-reader industry, but I have doubts about the Onyx-A2 e-reader. I don't know who will buy an e-reader with no guarantee of screens at all!"

After saying that, Katsuhisa Machida took the people away and was unwilling to continue to tear it down with the reporter. However, what he said was enough for the reporter. After Katsuhisa Machida was edited and broadcast, it caused a lot of sensation.

After leaving the media and reporters, Katsuhiko Machida's face immediately sank and said to Takaji Okuda, the manager of Sharp LCD business unit, who was standing beside him, "I don't want Onyx Technology to happen again. Do you know how much we have lost?"

When facing the reporter just now, Katsuhiko Machida seemed very tough, but only he understood how much he regretted it. No one expected that the e-reader market would develop so rapidly.

When he thought that the panel market that may have been related to billions of dollars left Sharp, Machida Katsushi was bleeding, and the profits of LCD TV panels and computer panels were constantly declining. Now he missed the electronic reader LCD screen, even Sharp was unable to withstand it.

Takaji Okuda, who was mentioned by Katsuhisa Machida, had a bitter face. The reason why Sharp has been unable to meet Onyx Technology's orders is actually complicated. First of all, the production capacity is seriously insufficient. In order to ensure that the technology is not leaked, Sharp maintains a high level of technology blockade, so the production capacity has always been low. Priority is given to the production of TVs and computer LCD panels. As for Onyx Technology's e-readers, they can only rank third or even behind.

On the other hand, it is also a mentality problem. Sharp has never regarded Onyx Technology as a real collaborator, nor does he think Onyx Technology dare to refuse Sharp's cooperation. Therefore, when he established the Global E-Reader Industry Alliance, Sharp was disdainful at all. When he lost his order, he also treated Onyx Technology in a threatening tone and wanted Onyx Technology to hand over the order to Sharp, but who knew that Onyx Technology directly interrupted all cooperation!

"President Katsuhisa Machida, I believe your judgment that A2 e-reader will definitely not be successful. Onyx Technology will sooner or later ask Sharp for it again!" Okuda Takashi said to Katsuhisa Machida. In fact, he himself didn't believe these words.

After cooperating with Onyx Technology for so long, Takaji Okuda could feel that Onyx Technology is not the kind of impulsive company, and there is no certainty in picking up the goods. Onyx Technology would not just openly kick Sharp, but at this time, he didn't dare to say these words. When he cooperated with Onyx Technology, Katsuhiko Machida never attached much importance to Onyx Technology.

Not only Sharp is not optimistic about Onyx's new products, but also many media and technology industry personnel may be for various interests and purposes, but during this period, they have frequently made various remarks.

For example, the British "Manchester News" expressed its unconcealed resistance to Onyx electronic reader. "The company that launched Onyx electronic reader is the company that launched Renren Music and Renren Film and Television. It is making humans say goodbye to record machines and cinemas. Now it makes humans say goodbye to books. Life becomes a network cable and a computer, and it becomes the whole of life. I wonder what the meaning of such a life is?"

It has to be said that Britain's conservative power is very strong. A country that still retains the title of aristocratic, immersed in the glory of the empire that never sets in the 18th century. It once dominated the world with the help of new technologies, but now it has become the country that resists new technologies the most.

The reason why some European media such as Manchester News resisted Onyx e-reader is that e-readers make those people feel the meaning of life, that is, they are gone!

Not only the media, but also a world-renowned technology forum, the Onyx e-reader was criticized for being useless. One of the administrators said, "I admit that this so-called A2 reader is indeed better in performance than the previous e-reader, but I still don't feel what it is for. It is still just a technology toy!"

Just talking about Onyx-A2 e-reader is just a thing that collects IQ tax. These professional technology forums only look down on e-readers, but think that e-readers do not have much technological content at all.

There is a lot of controversy about the Onyx-A2 e-reader, but there are many supporters. "Silicon Valley Daily", "Science and Technology News", "New Era of Technology", etc. all expressed their expectations for Onyx's new e-reader.

Like the "Wiang" magazine, which Chuke Technology has been donating a large amount of funds, it continues to tout Onyx Technology, and the "New York Times" also published "One of the most anticipated products this year, one of the products that are changing the world, Onyx e-reader!"

As for financial media such as the Wall Street Journal and Manhattan Fortune, they continue to track news about Onyx Technology, because these financial media can feel that Onyx Technology is creating a new industry!

No matter how the outside world reports, Onyx Technology is still experiencing overwhelming publicity, and pre-sale work is still in full swing. The A2 readers produced by Onyx Technology R&D Center are being delivered to Onyx Technology's global channel merchants and dealers through various means of transportation. This is a feast for the technology industry. Countless people are already ready to fight, and no one can stop them!

Chen Chu has been in charge of Chuke Technology these days, mobilizing the resources of Chuke Technology to promote and promote Onyx Technology. Only Chen Chu can suppress all industries and departments of Chuke Technology.

Otherwise, Tang Zhouming alone would be the one who would make phone calls and emails to vomit blood. Major Chutech technologies such as SG Games, Renren Technology, Oriental Network, etc., may not be willing to allow these industries to support Onyx Technology at any cost.

For example, Renren Technology, in order to support A2 readers, it took out 46 million US dollars as a subsidy, and scattered subsidies to users of Renren, Renren Music, and Renren Film and Television. It was all about buying A2 readers with real money!

If it weren't for Chen Chu, Du Jianzhao would never have invested so much money. In the past few days, in order not to put too much pressure on Onyx Technology, Chen Chu and the senior executives of Chu Ke Technology did not go there.

However, today is completely different. When it was just dawn, vehicles were parked down the office building of Onyx Technology R&D Center.

The entire Onyx Technology office building is brightly lit. With the experience of releasing products last time, this time, Onyx Technology specially prepared a one-story office building as a sales center, technology department, operation department, marketing department, promotion department, customer service department, finance department, and logistics department. All of them took their team to this building with their team. If you have anything, just shout a word and don’t need to make a phone call.

When Chen Chu went over, he saw many executives of Onyx Technology and directors of Chuke Technology. Wu Xingdao was whispering to Tang Zhouming, Du Jianzhao sat aside and talked to Ning Yanlin, and Zeng Yuanli and other executives were also coming one after another.

When everyone saw Chen Chu coming in, everyone stood up immediately. Chen Chu waved his hand and asked people to sit down. Chen Chu saw that there were even many sleeping bags and tents in the corner of the wall. It was obvious that the floor shops that had been here these days.

"How is it?" Chen Chu sat down and asked Tang Zhouming.

"We are all ready. Today, we have put more than 1.5 million Onyx-A2 e-readers into major cities, including Onyx official flagship stores, major e-commerce companies, as well as major distributors and channel merchants. All products have been put into place. It will officially start global sales at 8 o'clock today!" Tang Zhouming said. Even after experiencing it once, Tang Zhouming was still a little nervous.

The closer you get to eight o'clock, you can clearly feel that the atmosphere on this office building begins to become more intense, and the phone ringing on the table has never stopped.

"Start!" When the hour hand reached 8 o'clock, Chen Chu said to everyone, and the entire Onyx technology quickly began to become busy.

In the entire technology industry, there were no one knowing how many people stayed up all night. At this moment, they were all cheered up, just like precision machinery, all stores selling Onyx-A2 e-readers opened their doors at this moment.
