Chapter 316: The Chapter of the Times! (The Third Update!)
"An IPOD..."
"A mobile phone..."
"We have entered a new era..."
May 7, 2010.
Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA.
Under the dim screen.
Wearing a black turtleneck T-shirt, he walked to the center of the stage step by step.
He did not make too many gestures and did not speak fast, but every word caused countless cheers and applause from the audience.
This is a landmark technology feast!
Under the light of the camera, Joss slowly stretched out his hand.
The appearance of the iPhone 4 appeared on the screen.
"How should we view it?"
"..."
"No one wants the old stuff. You can pick it up and throw it away. No one wants this stuff anymore..."
"..."
Joss took the iPhone 4 and gently slid the unlock button with his hand.
It seemed that a new era had been unlocked!
………………………………
No reporters were contacted, and the company was not asked to take any remedial measures, and even the public relations were not asked to do a series of public relations to minimize the influence.
No food, no sleep, no meeting with anyone...
Lin Guodong just locked himself in the office, silently watching the iPhone 4 launch on the computer.
He saw Joss unlock the computer smoothly.
He heard the unprecedented cheers from the audience in the video, as if it was a wave, sweeping wave after wave.
He also saw the combination of glass back panel and metal frame, the noble and elegant iPhone 4...
He actually watched the trailer of iPhone 4 very seriously, but after seeing Joss's iPhone 4 launch, he still felt shocked.
He continued to watch and saw the retina screen, which should be an ultimate enjoyment and experience for users.
He saw that iPhone 4 also introduced the FaceTime video call function for the first time, allowing people to communicate face-to-face with relatives and friends anytime and anywhere...
...
After watching the video launch, he was shocked for no reason in his heart, and then gradually lowered his head.
The video of the iPhone 4 launch conference made him feel like a dark cloud was pressing down on his head. In addition to being shocked by the powerful functions of the iPhone 4, he was even more shocked by the fact that it was equipped with the latest A4 chip. This chip not only provides powerful processing power and excellent battery life, but also allows users to run various applications and games more smoothly...
So far, no mobile phone in China, or any mobile phone in the world, is equipped with an A4 chip...
He also saw the Apple Store where various software and games can be downloaded on Apple phones...
Lin Guodong was keenly aware that these things would deeply fascinate countless young people, and then they would be deeply trapped in them.
He picked up the [Hua X1] mobile phone that [Yaohua Technology] has not been able to mass-produce so far, and compared it with the iPhone 4 that will be sold on a large scale.
He thought of the words "dimensionality reduction attack".
After watching the press conference, Lin Guodong walked step by step to the window in the office.
Outside the window, the lights were bright, and the reporters were still gathered at the door of [Yaohua]. In the dark, Lin Guodong seemed to see a pair of eyes staring at him.
With ridicule, contempt, or disdain...
Everyone was waiting to see his joke.
Just a few hours ago, domestic operators had removed all the mobile phones under [Yaohua] and replaced them with their new partner POOP mobile phones.
But this is just the beginning, and the more devastating thing should be still to come.
Lin Guodong, who has always been very strong, clenched his fist and punched the wall hard. Blood oozed from the edge of his fist, but he didn't feel any pain.
On the computer, the company's internal emails have gone crazy. The former veterans kept sending emails, blaming their own failures and blaming his willful behavior, as if he was a tyrant.
Lin Guodong felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
In the internal struggle for power and profit, everyone wanted to steer the [Yaohua] ship in the direction they thought they should go, and as the helmsman, he was always stared at by pairs of eyes.
Outside, powerful enemies surrounded them, and the research and development that had just risen was instantly extinguished. The distance between them and the world's cutting-edge technology was not only not getting closer, but getting farther and farther away.
He felt powerless, he felt a net was trapping him, he wanted to break through, wanted to struggle, but he was always in the net, becoming a joke.
He opened the window and continued to look at the ever-changing city.
Lin Guodong had no idea how many people would rush over and eat his body when he fell.
He felt that he could fall, and even use the things he had accumulated over the years to feed the beasts in the dark, but what would he use them for? After they became bigger beasts, they would eventually be shot down by hunters and become flesh and blood.
[Yaohua] has held on until now...
He vaguely felt that he really couldn't hold on!
Tired, anxious, irritable, and then began to become confused, confused whether he was wrong, whether he collapsed...
At this moment, he no longer knew what kind of emotion he should use to face tomorrow.
But this night...
It was really too long!
…………………………
Zhang Sheng came to Yangcheng.
He saw countless reporters.
Some reporters surrounded him, wanting him to express his opinion on the matter of [Yaohua].
Zhang Sheng just smiled, and then, under the protection of security personnel, he walked into the [Yaohua] lobby with Xu Bowen.
The [Yaohua] lobby was very chaotic. The once polite front desk ladies were now receiving one call after another. In the lounge next to them, there were constant quarrels.
Zhang Sheng saw Yu Dong accompanying the elders to explain something...
The elders' eyes were angry and even a little distorted. Several shareholders who held [Yaohua] even cursed their mothers.
Zhang Sheng heard all kinds of extremely ugly curses that almost cursed Lin Guodong's ancestors...
Xu Bowen looked at all this and his face turned pale.
In fact, this time he came here, in addition to talking to Zhang Sheng about something, he also went to [Yaohua Technology] to ask about the large-scale return subsidies of [Johnson Mall].
They helped [Yaohua Technology] sell things. Now that they were implicated, they naturally could not lose money.
Zhang Sheng saw Yang Hongwei, the person in charge of Huaxing Mobile, coming in from outside, and then several excited shareholders rushed up and slapped Yang Hongwei hard.
Yang Hongwei was slapped and scolded, but he didn't dare to say anything, just covered his face.
Then, several people got on the elevator.
"Stop! What are you doing here? We are looking for Mr. Lin to hold a shareholders' meeting, you return the goods to other departments..."
Zhang Sheng took Xu Bowen into the elevator, but just as he walked in, he suddenly saw a fat middle-aged man staring at Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng looked at him calmly.
The fat middle-aged man was Liu Guobin, a veteran of Yaohua Technology, and one of the shareholders who held a few shares of Yaohua Technology.
Xu Bowen had one foot outside and the other foot slightly shrank inside.
"Come in!"
At this moment, Zhang Sheng suddenly said this coldly.
When he heard the voice, Xu Bowen was startled, and then walked in subconsciously.
The elevator door closed.
Walk up slowly.
Seeing that Zhang Sheng ignored him, Liu Guobin was furious, but when he wanted to say something, he saw Zhang Sheng's cold eyes.
After a while of contact, he actually felt a breathless momentum pressing on him, which made his heart tremble and even suffocate.
Wait!
That look!
Like looking at a dead person?
At this time, Yu Dong made a round and explained that Zhang Sheng was arranged by General Manager Lin...
The atmosphere in the elevator was slightly relieved.
The elevator finally reached the intersection.
Zhang Sheng followed these people to Lin Guodong's office.
But he didn't make a big fuss like these people, but let Xu Bowen follow him and sit on the chair next to him.
About half an hour later...
The group of elders left angrily, and before leaving, they glared at Zhang Sheng fiercely.
"General Manager Zhang, we offended them... We..." Xu Bowen's face was a little worried.
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that we are too small now, and we have to return the goods to get the payment... I'm afraid they will hold us back. After all, it's nearly 100,000 yuan. We can't pay for it all by ourselves, right?"
"No need to return it."
"Ah?"
"I said, no need to return it."
Zhang Sheng looked at the direction where Liu Guobin left, with a sneer on his face: "Old Xu, don't be afraid of them, they will be liquidated soon..."
Xu Bowen was stunned when he heard this.
"【Yaohua】is surnamed Lin after all. When I first saw Mr. Lin, I knew that Mr. Lin had been patient, but a person's patience is always limited..."
After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he walked to the door of the office and knocked on the door simply.
"Mr. Lin, it's me..."
Zhang Sheng waited for a while.
Then, the door finally opened.
"Old Xu, please sit down first. I'll go in and talk to Mr. Lin..."
"Okay!"
……………………
Zhang Sheng walked into Lin Guodong's office again.
The office was filled with a strong smell of cigarettes.
He saw Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong's hair turned completely white overnight...
He looked old.
Zhang Sheng suddenly felt that the ancient people who turned their hair white overnight were not fake.
"Sit down."
Zhang Sheng found a seat and sat down.
"Did you watch the iPhone 4 press conference?"
"I did."
"What do you think?"
"It's just average."
"Just average?"
Lin Guodong looked at Zhang Sheng, with a bit of surprise on his haggard face.
He finally put out his cigarette butt and then laughed.
I don't know if it was a self-deprecating laugh or a helpless laugh.
"Although it's just average, a new chapter of an era has come. Even if "Seven Days to Die" makes the iPhone 4 a phone that can crawl out of ghosts, it will affect sales to a certain extent, but it can't stop the times..."
"This is a revolution, a revolution in the mobile phone industry." Lin Guodong stared at Zhang Sheng.
"You are right, and it will have a long impact!"
When Lin Guodong heard this, he fell into a long silence.
"How many Huaxing mobile phones are there?"
"Pile up like a mountain..." Lin Guodong replied.
"Oh, you have no use for these piles of goods?"
"It's useless. It's all over the Internet now. People are so scared of it!"
"Then give it to me."
"For you?"
"Well, I have new technology to improve the battery. For this batch of goods, give me a few professional inspectors. If I confirm that there are no other problems except the battery, I will help you change the brand to sell..."
"Are you kidding?" Lin Guodong looked at Zhang Sheng's expression and was a little surprised.
"Uncle, I may make some jokes in my life, but I won't make any jokes at this time..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Apple will be a revolution in the future, and the popularity will be amazing. I will use this popularity!"
"What do you want to do?"
"I will design various new LOGOs for [Huaxing] mobile phones..."
"Hmm?"
"America can have apples, and China can also have pineapples! America can have apples, but we in China can also have pears and oranges... It's time to let those foreigners see the power of our copycat phones!"
"???"
