Reborn multinational giant

After Scott took the stage, he briefly introduced the hardware information of the ipad, but this information did not really shine to Fang Zhe, because Apple’s main product is still the iphone. If the ipad configuration is too good, That is tantamount to stealing the limelight of the iPhone, so Scott only said that the ipad battery can be used for 10 hours, standby for a month, and other commonplace information.

Later, he called up a few younger brothers to show the use of ipad in other types of games and applications, but compared to the amazing work of Jobs in the previous demonstration of "Temple Escape", the following demonstrations seemed a little plain. Up.

When Jobs returns to the stage, the main content of the conference has been more than half, and the rest is the price that all the audiences are extremely looking forward to.

16G499 US dollars, 32G599 US dollars, 64G699 US dollars, this price is very close to the people of the United States, after all, even if the average US restaurant waiter, the monthly salary is about 2000 US dollars, the purchasing power of the US dollar is still quite strong.

Next, Jobs also recommended two to everyone, Apple specially tailored the data package for the ipad with the operator, 15 US dollars 250M, and 30 US dollars unlimited data package, Fang Zhe remembered the current domestic data price, which is about 5 yuan The money is 30M, which looks expensive, but it is actually much cheaper than SMS and phone bills.

Finally, Jobs announced that the iPad’s release date was two months later, and informed everyone that there is an iPad experience area next to it. Interested audiences can go over and play. After Jobs thanked you again, the conference ended. Up.

Fang Zhe left the auditorium and went to the ipad experience area to play. Li Wen and the others sat in the back row of the auditorium before, and now they are in the experience area, they all walked with Fang Zhe.

"President Fang, what do you think of the market prospects of Apple's new ipad?" Li Wen stood beside Fang Zhe, and asked curiously while swinging the ipad in front of him in a novel way.

Fang Zhe pressed the home button of the ipad in front of him with his thumb, swiped to unlock and opened the main interface of the ipad. He switched the screen twice, opened several applications and then closed them. The whole is very smooth. The annual configuration will be outdated, but at the moment, it is definitely the top configuration.

Fang Zhe played a few times, turned his head to look at Li Wen, and said, "Not as good as the iPhone, but in the tablet field, it should be invincible!"

Li Wen tried to figure out what Fang Zhe said for a long time, but he didn't understand whether Mr. Fang was optimistic about the ipad or not. Without waiting for him to ask, Fang Zhe waved his hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to meet with Qiao Gang!"

At around 12:20 noon, Fang Zhe, Li Wen and others came to the sushi restaurant agreed upon by both parties before Jobs. After Fang Zhe entered the private room, Li Wen and the other staff accompanying Huizhong went to the next private room. A few minutes later, Jobs Walking into the private room with his accompanying secretary, Fang Zhe got up to greet each other. After the two exchanged greetings, Jobs sent his secretary away, and both took seats.

Although Fang Zhe is not used to eating Japanese food, Jobs is a full-fledged Japanese food lover. He not only likes Japanese food, but also Japanese culture very much. He is a quasi-vegetarian who eats meat and fish only.

"Does Mr. Fang Zhe think the Mayan prophecy is true?" Before Fang Zhe could speak first, Jobs asked Fang Zhe a question.

Fang Zhe was looking at Jobs. Now Jobs is over 50. His glory began in the personal computer era more than 30 years ago. Now it is nothing more than returning to the peak. Fang Zhe glanced at his somewhat backward hair Ji Xian said: "More than ten years ago, many people believed that 1999 was the end of the world. They just don't know whether the people who prophesied at the beginning have lived to the present."

"Nostradamus has been dead for many years, and then it was just a lot of people who used his name to misrepresent it!" Jobs said.

The Nostradamus mentioned by Jobs was a famous prophet in 16th-century France. In 1999, the end of the world, the evidence widely circulated on the Internet was also from his prophecy. Fang Zhe smiled: "Mayan civilization They have disappeared for many years. If they are really so powerful, the Mayan civilization will not disappear!"

Steve Jobs nodded, and did not dwell on the subject anymore, Fang Zhe asked, "I heard that, sir, you like Japanese culture very much!"

"Yes, I like sushi and Japanese Zen culture very much. I have been to Japan many times. Many temples in Kyoto have very unique designs!" Many people in the Internet industry know Jobs' respect for Zen culture. This is not shy.

"Your company's minimalist design on iphone and ipad is also very good!" Fang Zhe complimented and said:

"Actually, I really look forward to your visit to China in person in the future, sir. We have a history of more than 5,000 years of history and civilization in China, with rich cultural accumulation and cultural treasures. The Japanese Zen culture you like is also passed down from the Song Dynasty in ancient China. Into Japan.

Of course, Japan’s Zen culture is now unique, with its own characteristics and style, but in China, there are more wonderful cultures waiting for you to explore!"

Jobs smiled and said: "The energy of a person's life is limited. I am only admiring the instructions of the soul and doing what I like. Even if China has more cultural heritage, it is just a distant story for me! "

Fang Zhe's face was calm. In his previous life, Jobs loved Japan and Japanese culture, but he was full of prejudice against China. Now from the tone of Steve Jobs's speech, Fang Zhe seems to be aware of this prejudice.

"I don't know which games under Huizhong have you played, sir. Which one do you like best? Except for the previous "Temple Escape"." Although Fang Zhe knew that Jobs didn't like to play games, he still had something different in his heart. Guessing, as Jobs said, respecting the mind’s instructions, his intuition told him that Jobs should like a special game owned by Huizhong.

Jobs looked at Fang Zhe with a smile on his face. A few seconds later, he asked, "How can you be sure that I still like your company's other games?"

"Intuition!" Fang Zhe gave an answer that made Jobs smile more.

"Your intuition is correct. I do prefer another game of your company, "Don't Step on the White Block"!" When Jobs gave the answer, Fang Zhe secretly said "Sure enough". Fang Zhe's intuition was derived from In the past, the design of iphone and ipad, as well as Steve Jobs's respect for minimalist culture, so far, the colors of Apple products including iphone, ipad, mac, etc., have never been only three colors, white, gray and black.

There are reasons for industrial design, as well as Jobs’ love and obsession with black and white. Most of his T-shirts are black. Apple did not release gold, rose gold, red and other colors until Jobs left for a few years. Electronic products, and the simple black and white design of the game "Don't Step on the White Blocks" is indeed very popular with Jobs.
