Reborn multinational giant

Regarding Huizhong’s future preparations for financing, Fang Zhe did not disclose to other senior executives at the high-level meeting for the time being. This matter has yet to be discussed with other senior executives after the seven core executives discuss more specific details. Otherwise, it is inevitable. People talk too much and leak out the news, so it is not that Fang Zhe and Huizhong prepare financing according to their own plans, but Fang Zhe is busy dealing with various door-to-door investors every day!

In the two days when Huizhong held a closed-door meeting and a high-level meeting, a very important event also happened in the global mobile industry, that is, Apple released a new generation of iPhone at the Apple Global Developers Conference on June 8. Mobile phone, iphone4.

Also at this conference, Fang Zhe used to call iphoneos, which he was not used to, and was renamed ios!

Nowadays, no matter whether it is the mobile Internet industry or the mobile phone industry, no one does not admit that Apple is leading the global smartphone revolution and mobile Internet revolution.

On May 26 of last month, Apple's market value surpassed Microsoft's, reaching more than 220 billion U.S. dollars, officially exceeding Microsoft's more than 210 billion U.S. dollar market value, becoming the world's most valuable technology company!

In the previous life, from this day on, Apple sat on the throne of the world’s most valuable technology company, surpassing Wal-Mart, Exxon Mobil, PetroChina and other top companies in various industries around the world until it became The world's highest market capitalization company, and its market value exceeded one trillion U.S. dollars in 2018, becoming the first company in human history to exceed one trillion U.S. dollars in market value!

What is the concept of trillion dollars?There are less than 20 countries with a global GDP exceeding one trillion U.S. dollars!Behind it, there are nearly 200 countries, including Turkey, Switzerland, Argentina, Thailand, the Philippines and many other countries that are familiar to the people. Apple, with its own business empire, explained to the world what is a rich and enemy country. !

Therefore, Apple’s every move has attracted the attention of the global mobile Internet industry, the mobile phone industry, and many of their associated industries, and even at the national level. Apple’s release of iphone4 naturally appears on the world’s major news media and newspapers without exception. Front page headlines, including mainland China, which has gradually become popular in China, are no exception.

Fang Zhe remembers that iphone is officially known to most ordinary people in the country. Iphone gradually appeared related hot words such as selling kidneys to buy mobile phones, starting with iphone4, and iphone4 was also the last mobile phone released by Jobs himself in his previous life.

What impressed Fang Zhe even more is that the iphone4s released next fall, just one day before Jobs’s death, was released by Apple’s next CEO Cook on October 4th. Therefore, many people in the industry in future generations have always regarded iphone4s as "Iphoneforsteve"!

If Fang Zhe can think of nothing unexpected, Jobs might die next year. Even if Fang Zhe is a rebirth, it may be difficult to change the outcome of Jobs, because he died of cancer, and Fang Zhe is helpless.

While Zhe Fang was busy sorting out the business of splitting Paypass, he took the time to briefly watch the broadcast video of the iphone4 conference. The iphone and appstore are closely related to Huizhong’s mobile Internet business and mobile game business. Fang Zhe naturally paid special attention to the relevant information at the press conference.

But after watching the video, Fang Zhe didn’t find any content that attracted his attention. Although it also involved some updates of the new version of ios, etc., there is no need for him, the big boss, to worry about himself. I believe that the technical directors and employees of Huizhong’s R&D departments must have paid more attention to them earlier and more in detail.

After watching the video, Fang Zhe leaned back on his chair and recalled the scene where he went to the United States at the beginning of the year and met with Jobs. In Fang Zhe’s view, Jobs is a great and paranoid person. His greatness needless to say, his paranoia , It is almost everyone in the industry knows.

Steve Jobs has absolute decision-making power and perseverance in the design of various products of Apple. While this perseverance has helped Apple make many great products, many problems will inevitably arise.

For example, Jobs has never liked large-screen mobile phones, he has always liked small-screen mobile phones, and therefore, now that 4-inch screens have begun to emerge in the global mobile phone industry today, Apple’s newly released iphone4 and the iphone4s to be released next year, It is still a 3.5-inch screen.

It was not until his death that Apple released the iPhone 5 with a 4-inch screen, which was almost two years behind the trend of the entire mobile phone industry. It was almost two years later than the trend of the entire mobile phone industry. Changing to another mobile phone company could not keep up with the trend and the times. I am afraid it would be like Nokia mobile phones. In that way, being swept into the garbage dump of history, it is a pity that Apple's advantages in systems and hardware are enough to make many consumers ignore the gap in the past two years.

Regarding Apple's release of iphone4, in addition to Huizhong's various related business layouts, Fang Zhe also remembered one thing, that is, in his impression, a scandal about Apple and iphone4, "antenna gate"!

After the previous life iphone4 was released, it was officially on sale more than 20 days later. At that time, it was revealed on the Internet that after the user gripped the iphone4 with his hand, the iPhone4’s cell phone signal would deteriorate or even disappear. There is a lot of noise around the world, and Apple's public relations department and even founder Jobs have to hold a special press conference to settle this matter.

Although afterwards, judging from the sales and return rate of iphone4, users did not give up their love and welcome to iphone4 because of the "antenna gate" incident, but during the period when the antenna gate broke out, it did push Apple to the forefront. .

Because for a mobile phone, the most basic communication problem is a big problem. Apple's many competitors, including Motorola, Nokia and other companies, took this opportunity to vigorously attack and ridicule Apple, and Steve Jobs even responded. The user wrote in the email: "If the signal is not good, just change the position and shake the phone!"

Although the industry believes that it is the iPhone4 mobile phone design problem, Jobs and Apple certainly do not want to admit that it is a major design error of their team. Therefore, in the end, the Apple mobile phone screen signal display algorithm error, which became the backer of this incident!

Fang Zhe wondered, would you like to tell Apple to remind them so that they can prepare early, thinking about it, not telling it, will have no effect on Huizhong, if you say it, it is possible that Jobs and Apple will owe it. If you have a favor with Huizhong, no matter how big or small it is, it is a worthless thing to make Apple and Jobs owe yourself a favor!

Fang Zhe called the secretary Li Wen into the office, and casually found an excuse to tell him about the matter and let him make arrangements. After more than half an hour, Li Wen came in and told Fang Zhe that Huizhong’s technical department had tested it. The iphone4 prototype obtained through internal channels does have signal problems and has already given feedback to Apple.

Fang Zhe nodded after hearing this. Although this matter is important to Apple, Fang Zhe and Huizhong are trivial matters. Just a few minutes after Fang Zhe sent Li Wen out, he didn't expect him to knock on the door hurriedly again. Asked him, he said:

"President Fang, there is news from the US!"
