Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 271-A Conversation with Jobs

"Everything in this world is growing, whether it is the population, electronic devices, information, even the food we eat and the beverages we drink, are becoming more complex.

Each of us is living in an era of information explosion. These disturbing information pollutes and deceives what we really want in our hearts. Only by removing and washing these things can we understand what we really want.

Therefore, our Apple products have been doing subtraction. When all mobile phones use complex button operations, we hope to use touch to solve user input. When all mobile phones need to use touch pens for touch operations At that time, we hope to be able to operate directly with our fingers. Whether it is clicking or sliding, it is one of the most primitive and simplest operation methods for human beings.

Similarly, in the choice of colors, the colorful colors will only evoke the distracting thoughts that people are disturbing one after another. Only black and white colors can make people feel the purity of their hearts!"

Without waiting for Fang Zhe to speak, Jobs directly stated the reason he liked the game "Don't Step on the White Blocks", just because of its simple and straightforward black and white design.

Fang Zhe smiled and did not refute. Everyone has their own favorite colors. If you like black and white to represent the purity of your heart, then you like colorful colors, which means that your heart is full of sunshine, full of love for life, God created This prosperous world is not only black and white!

"Sir, have you heard of Yin Yang and Tai Chi?" Fang Zhe asked in an orderly manner.

"Have heard it, I know it is a kind of culture in your China." Jobs answered truthfully.

Fang Zhe nodded and said, "Mr. Do you know that the patterns of Yin Yang and Tai Chi are composed of two colors, black and white."

Fang Zhe was talking, his right index finger dipped some water from the teacup, and drew a pattern of Tai Chi on the table in front of him. Jobs stared at Fang Zhe’s painting and Fang Zhe explained:

"One side of this line is white, and the other side is black, which means that the yin and yang are both polarized and blended together. I myself only know a little about it, but in ancient China and around the world, many celebrities did it to it. After commenting, I think the sage who created this pattern at the beginning, he should be like you, a person who likes black and white and pursues purity of mind!"

Jobs closed his eyes, opened his eyes again after a few seconds of silence, and said, "Perhaps, Chinese culture is indeed profound and profound. Perhaps thousands of years ago, there were sages who pointed out the principles and philosophy of life for us. The latecomers are nothing more than practicing!"

When Fang Zhe listened to Jobs’s tone, he felt like a monk who practiced Buddhism or the Taoism. Fang Zhe remembered Jobs’s life over the past 50 years. He started Apple in his early 20s and reached the pinnacle of his life. He was young and frivolous and reckless. He was self-contained. After being driven out of Apple by Apple shareholders, he began to regain his original intentions. After ten years, he returned to Apple. He cut off many cumbersome and useless products from Apple, and concentrated on starting from the iPod to the current iPhone and iPad. , He led Apple to rise again from its decline, but in 2003, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Now, it is the seventh year he has struggled with cancer. He is also pursuing more and more spiritual intuition, because in the rest of his life, nothing is more important than doing what he wants to do!

"I believe that Chinese culture is a wonderful culture, and I also appreciate the wonderful games you made by Huizhong, but I don't like China, and I am sorry that I criticize your country in front of you.

I hate plagiarism and copycats. Both Microsoft and Android are full of copycats and plagiarism. Like them, China is full of copycats and plagiarism. Although you have thousands of years of cultural heritage, you are now using these things They are all forgotten in history books and museums. Now your China, whether it is industry or the Internet, is nothing more than a copy of the United States and Europe!"Jobs was sharp and merciless, and he came to Fang Zhe's homeland in front of Fang Zhe's words.

Indeed, Jobs was right when he said that. China is indeed full of copycats and plagiarism. Even Fang Zhe himself is nothing more than copycats and copyists from previous lives. Copycats and plagiarism are indeed wrong, but Fang Zhe still has to do it. They argued that Fang Zhe and Huizhong, as well as Fang Zhe's homeland, China, were the objects of Jobs that should be condemned and blamed.

"Sir, I agree with you very much. The many copycats and plagiarisms that happened in my country in the past are painful.

There is a saying in ancient China: one knows the etiquette for being practical, and one knows the honor and disgrace for the food and clothing.If a person can't even eat enough to eat, but you talk to him about etiquette, morality, justice, honor and disgrace, this is unrealistic.

During the first industrial revolution in the 19th century, many technologies in the United States originated from Britain and Europe. Many industries in Europe were transferred to the United States due to rising production costs. The United States therefore left an industrial foundation for the second industrial revolution.

After World War II, this shift changed from the United States to South Korea, Singapore, Japan and other countries. I remember that in the 1960s and 1970s, Japanese manufacturing was all over the world, and it was also full of fake and shoddy products.

Later, China was already the third country to undertake this transfer. Since China's reform and opening up, with a stable political environment and cheap labor, a large number of low-end industries have been transferred to China from Japan, South Korea, Europe, America and other countries. It is doomed that the past history will repeat itself again.

Today the United States and Japan have transformed from learning, imitating, copycats and cheap to a country full of innovation and great technological strength. China is no exception. Sir, you only see many copycats and plagiarisms in China. Of the products, but did not notice that there are more and more innovative products, and the proportion of innovation is increasing.

You detest the plagiarism and copycats that occurred in China, but in the United States, Japan, and Europe, don’t you see that there are also many plagiarisms and copycats, including Microsoft and Google. I know you hate them the most, so I hope you can understand that this kind of thing happens not in which country, but in which person and company."

Fang Zhe’s defense did make Jobs a lot of changes in China, but his character is still paranoid. Plagiarism is plagiarism, and there is no right or wrong. Fang Zhe also agrees with his views. When a person strengthens his heart No matter how much outsiders talk about it, it will play a very small role. Probably only if they can experience it personally, the concept in their hearts will be shaken.

"Apple's products are currently sold in China, and most of Apple's products are also assembled in Foxconn on the mainland. I hope you can go to China to take a look and experience it personally if you have time. How is she different from the China you know.

China is the only country that has inherited its culture among the four ancient civilizations. With a population of 1.3 billion, China is also one of the fastest-growing countries in the world and the world's largest single market in the future.

Sir, you should believe that it is only a matter of time before the Chinese market surpasses the American market. Apple wants to lead the global mobile electronic consumer market in the future. China is a market that cannot be avoided in any case and has to be taken seriously."
