Reborn multinational giant

"Investment of 3 billion US dollars?" Fang Zhe thought of Apple's new headquarters, which was not built until 2018 in his previous life. The total cost was more than 5 billion US dollars and more than 30 billion yuan.

In contrast, Huizhong’s investment of 3 billion yuan, which was rated by the domestic news media as the country’s most expensive and most embarrassing Internet company headquarters news, pales in comparison!

It’s just a pity that even though Jobs’s words are in a mess, it’s hard to conceal the regret and sadness that Fang Zhe has in his heart. Although Jobs designed and planned Apple’s new headquarters, he did not have the chance to see its completion with his own eyes. The more he said Happy and full of expectations, Fang Zhe feels that fate is impermanent and good fortune makes others!

From the new headquarters to the large-scale acquisition of more than 7,000 patents around the world by Huichuang some time ago, to the patent war between Apple and Google, the changes in the global mobile phone industry pattern and the emergence of various novel APP applications, the conversation between the two covers a wide range of aspects. , But most of the content still revolves around the Internet and IT industry.

Until lunch, when Jobs tasted the authentic Sichuan Mapo Tofu that Fang Zhe specially prepared for him, Jobs praised the delicacy of this dish, and also talked about the scene of the two first meeting:

"When we met for the first time at the beginning of last year, you said that there was a chance that I would come to China to have a look and try this delicious Mapo Tofu!"

"What do you think?" Fang Zhe asked. What he asked was how Jobs felt after he came to China.

"It's not bad. Although there is still a big gap between Yanjing and New York in terms of modernization, its historical heritage is far from comparable to any other city in the United States.

Now I have visited your Huizhong company, and listened to you about games, mobile Internet, WeChat, and the O2O concept that has recently emerged in your China. I can feel that the seeds and soul of innovation are in Huizhong and take root in the Chinese Internet industry. germination!

Maybe ten or twenty years later, China will be able to create a company that is very influential in the world like Microsoft and IBM, and your Huizhong company is the most promising company right now!"

From Jobs’s tone, Fang Zhe heard his arrogance and conceit. In his opinion, although China has indeed made some progress and achievements, the Chinese Internet industry wants to give birth to companies at the level of Microsoft, IBM, and Apple. It takes ten to twenty years of time and effort!

Indeed, if Fang Zhe is not a rebirth, if it is in his previous life, ten years later, Alibaba, China's most successful international Internet company, still has a big gap with companies such as Microsoft and IBM in terms of achievements and global influence.

The key to supporting Alibaba’s market value of over US$500 billion is still the huge Chinese market and hundreds of millions of Taobao users in China. Unlike companies such as Microsoft and IBM, whose core businesses and users are spread all over the world, they are found in most countries and regions around the world. Has a very strong influence!

Fang Zhe didn't intend to argue with Jobs. Facts speak louder than words. Even if Huizhong or other Chinese Internet companies really do Microsoft or IBM within ten years in the future, Jobs, I'm afraid he will miss it!

Later, the content of Fang Zhe and Jobs’ conversations was somewhat sensual. The content of their conversations ranged from religion to values, and values ​​to life pursuits. The age gap and the approaching of death made Jobs feel right. These things that he was quite disdainful and unwilling to mention in the past have gained a deeper understanding.

"If one day, the company you founded becomes the greatest company in the world, what will you do next?" Before leaving, Jobs asked Fang Zhe a very memorable question.

In the past, Fang Zhe seldom thought about this problem, or even thoughtlessly. Although Huizhong has achieved the No. 1 position in the domestic Internet industry, it is still far from the status of a giant and hegemon in the world. Therefore, what Fang Zhe has to do is to continue to steadily manipulate Huizhong, so that Huizhong will further develop and grow and take root in the world.

But now, when Jobs, the founder of Apple, one of the greatest companies in the global technology industry, asked Fang Zhe this question, Fang Zhe had to think patiently.

Obviously, to make Apple a great company should be Steve Jobs's ideals and pursuits after he re-takes Apple. When this ideal is realized, I am afraid that even Jobs himself does not know what his new ideals and pursuits are!

If Jobs in his previous life had been alive, what would he pursue for Apple under his control and leadership?applewatch?Smart wearable device or other?

Fang Zhe can’t imagine that Jobs’s ongoing development trajectory of Apple and the world’s IT industry and mobile phone industry, with Jobs’s dislike of large-screen phones, maybe the iPhone’s design will be dumped by Android phones with larger screens. Where's a street?

Fang Zhe doesn’t know what Jobs and Apple will do, but Fang Zhe and Huizhong will do what they will do when they become a great company in the future. Fang Zhe has thought about it.

Charity, education, 5G, artificial intelligence, holographic games and even the mystery of own rebirth are waiting for Fang Zhe and the increasingly powerful Huizhong to explore, so Fang Zhe and Huihui The public has never lacked ideals and goals.

"I will make Huizhong a greater company!" This is Fang Zhe's answer to Jobs!

After the lunch reception, Jobs’ visit to Huizhong is over. Next, Apple’s entourage such as Jobs and Cook will fly to Jianghai Pudong to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the newly opened Apple retail store in Lujiazui Pearl Plaza. Fly to Shenzhen City to visit Foxconn, the main production and assembly plant for iphones.

For Jobs's visit in China, Fang Zhe did not always pay close attention to the domestic technology media and mobile phone industry counterparts who stared at Jobs every move.

When Jobs left Huizhong, and even left China after waiting, it also meant that he, a reborn person, was connected to Jobs, a great man in the technology industry in this life.

Not surprisingly, in August, more than three months later, with Steve Jobs resigning to the Apple Board of Directors due to physical reasons and obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors, Apple, a great technology company, will usher in the "Cook Era" for many years!

Compared with the arrogance and paranoia of Jobs, Apple under the leadership of Cook has become more amiable, greedy and cheap. It is undeniable that Jobs pioneered the greatness and glory of Apple, and Cook led Apple to usher in it. The most glorious and greatest decade!

The world's first company with a market value of more than one trillion U.S. dollars. I wonder if Fang Zhe and Huizhong will be disrupted in this life. Can Apple still get what it wants?

May 4, Youth Day, the first working day after the Chinese May Day holiday, WeChat Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Russian, etc. WeChat in multiple mainstream languages ​​has been updated globally with the new version of WeChat 3.0. In this version, WeChat has launched two major functions for enterprises and self-media, the official account and the subscription account!

The release of these two blockbuster functions also marks that WeChat, which has a global total of 480 million users, has officially transformed from a social tool application to a social platform!
