The weekend morning, cold, sunny. In Beijing on the 12 floor of the multicolored city office, a geek summit dialogue was carried out by the founder of Millet, Chairman and CEO of Lei and Apple co-founder Steve Guery Vauznilhac (Stephen Gary Wozniak hereinafter referred to as Woz). This is also the third leg of the Woz China trip.
Woz to China, the first stop is Tesla China, the second stop is "Geek Park Innovation Conference", the third station came to millet company. So woz be invited to millet, Lei want to release the signal is what? Lei says Woz is here to motivate employees to create the ultimate product like artwork, and Woz as a good engineer, his influence cannot be underestimated.
Woz in a black T-shirt and a lei in a red dress, sat face-to-face with the future of technology products and industries.
Disdain to do anyone's second
When it comes to Apple, Jobs's name is unknown, and Woz, the engineer who co-founded Apple, developed Apple and Apple, is partly overshadowed. In fact, the era of Woz is a chaotic period of Genesis in the history of computer development, and he can be said to be "revelation future science and Technology genius". Through Apple, he has established the computer standards that continue to date, while promoting the development of the entire hardware equipment industry.
Lei said that he was using Apple Computer 30 years ago, he personally worship Woz. After dismantling the Apple, he was amazed at the simplicity of the entire circuit board, which he thought was as exquisite as art. "I think the achievements of Steve Jobs and Woz are two different directions, Woz made the world's best products and invented PC PCs. Lei expressed his views on Woz.
When asked by the media and the person closest to jobs, if I wanted to do jobs in China, Lei said: "I would be very excited if I were called" jobs in China "for 20 years, but for a 40-year-old, I would be more than happy to be second to anyone. ”
He said he had seen "fire in Silicon Valley" when he was 18--talking about the story of Steve Jobs and Woz's founding of Apple, and was determined to be a world-class respected company, the biggest driver of his job. "I don't have any dreams now, because the dream of being a billion dollar company has come true," he said. I enjoy doing excellent products, so that more people enjoy good and cheap products, the rest is the homeopathy. "he added.
When it comes to the most profound impression of millet, Woz said, from the staff of millet deeply felt their love for the product, at the same time feeling at the rapid growth of millet. "Millet people have dreams, and Lei Junzheng lead them to change the world, so that products better, more importantly, to create a product that did not exist before, that is more important innovation." Woz said.
Make simple and interesting products
"This year, the millet mobile phone 40 million units shipments are certain to achieve the goal." Lei said firmly. As we all know, Millet has been sold in batches according to the mode of product marketing, millet mobile phone is always a minute to be robbed, more consumers do not buy millet products, this has been deeply consumer criticism. Lei Frankly, because of this problem "we were scolded not like people, ghosts do not like ghosts."
In the scene, Lei and Woz placed in front of a millet for enthusiasts designed for the router, need to manually install complete. Lei says the purpose of the manual installation is to understand how this router differs from a typical router, such as a dual-core 1G product, four antennas and fans, and 2.4G WiFi and 5G WiFi, which are simple to assemble.
As a geek, woz, under the guidance of an engineer's father, showed extraordinary scientific talent. In his biography, Iwoz, he revealed he had finished the transistor radio at the age of 6, fell in love with the computer at the age of 13, and made up his mind to do logic and computer design later.
"I am very good at computer logic, and even become the world's most proficient in computer logic (but not sure, the length of college may have some experts better at quoting Demogan theorem)." When I invented the first Apple computer, logic was my life. This love has lasted so far. ”
Talking about the inner logic of millet products, Lei said that Millet has made three products in the past three years: mobile phones, TV boxes and routers, and believes that future handsets will replace PC PCs as the center of electronic consumption.
Lei specifically elaborated these several years to make the product the thought: "We first produced the mobile phone, after the phone, in order to solve the problem of the output of the phone, we need TV which is the big screen, so consider to do TV box, when the problem solved, we feel that the Internet performance is one of the most important things, and then consider doing routers. ”
The future of intelligent equipment
Lei yesterday in the "Geek Park Innovation Conference" that the next 3-4 years will not do other products, focus on the existing three products, but he looked at the future trend of consumer electronics is mobile phone-centric all the equipment intelligent, that is, often said the concept of "Internet of things."
"When we went into the router field, the big idea was that the reason the smart family didn't make real progress over the past decade was the lack of control centers." "So over the next five years, the mobile-centric consumer electronics world will move further." Millet will focus on the existing three areas, seeking to work with more partners to promote the intelligence of all appliances. ”
For the description of the smart device of the future, he said, for example, consumers open mobile phones can see the content of home PM2.5, if high, click on the mobile phone application, home Intelligent Air Purifier began to work, until the standard it stopped.
"All things can be managed, can be controlled remotely, in your mobile phone can be remote control." I believe we can see it clearly in the next two years. We are committed to promoting the intelligence of all electrical appliances. Lei added.
Woz also said that the Internet will make all the equipment associated, millet products will be the most important part of the Internet in the future, I believe that millet can make all the equipment associated, and enable users do not need to research technology, just a few steps to complete the process of manipulation.
"I believe that routers will be the center of a family's private cloud," he said. We are also at Apple, making technology easier and easier. Believe that one day, smart terminals can have a variety of sensors, know what you want, this device has eyes, ears and GPs, can know where you are. I believe it will become my closest partner more and more. "Woz said.
At the same time, Woz has always believed that great technology is a great art: you can understand it as soon as you see it.
