Chapter 708 An Era Is Coming to an End

On the hospital bed.

A emaciated figure was silently watching the sales of iPhone 4S.

iPhone 4S was released on February 18 last year, and on January 27 this year.

This phone, which he had high hopes for, once again set a new sales record in the global smartphone industry with an astonishing sales volume of 70.29 million units.

Looking at this data...

He opened his mouth, feeling a little relieved and a little regretful.

However, his voice was unusually dry, as if all the water in his throat had been drained. He struggled to use all his strength to barely say [GOOD].

His body had dropped from 82 kg to 49 kg...

The rapid weight loss and endless surgeries and chemotherapy had made his thick hair thinner and thinner, and his cheeks were almost sunken, like a dead tree that could be blown down at any time.

McCann Kusho sat in front of the hospital bed.

During this period, he visited this old friend at the bedside almost every week, and every time he came, he brought the new upgraded technology of the iPhone 5 series.

But every time he came, the news he heard was bad news.

Just now...

The doctor told him in the most pessimistic tone that Joss might be in the next two days.

When he heard the news, McCann Kuso felt that his heart was hammered hard, and then his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He followed Joss, from the PC era to the IPO era, and finally stood on the top of the world step by step, becoming a technology giant that everyone is paying attention to.

In the iPhone era, he became a god in one battle, making [IPO] the world's most valuable company, overlooking the world and becoming the king of the world...

The scenes of experience seemed like yesterday.

But today, he was told that an era will eventually end.

What a desperate thing!

"Write what you want to say..."

On the bed, Joss looked a little excited after seeing Kuso, and kept trying to say something, but Kuso couldn't understand him, and finally took out a recognition software.

[How is iPhone5? ]

The recognition software showed such a sentence.

"We will hold the press conference tomorrow, January 28th..."

Looking at Jos's hopeful eyes, McCann Kusuo felt a slight tremor in his heart.

When Jos nodded, Kusuo hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't want to make Jos anxious at the last moment, Kusuo still sighed: "I don't know what our iPhone will be like in the future..."

As the last minute got closer, Kusuo spent every day in anxiety.

Every time, he thought about what he would do if he stood in Jos's position...

But, after all, he is not Jos, nor is he the "god" who brought [IPO] from a small company to a world-famous large company.

I am just a loyal executor.

[You are you, you are not Jos, and you are not anyone. Don't think about what will happen when I am here. You should think about what you would do if it were you... Just be yourself! ]

Such a sentence slowly emerged on the recognition software.

After seeing this, Macken Kusuo was slightly shocked, and then looked at Joss, who gave him an encouraging look.

This sentence undoubtedly brought Kusuo great confidence, and Kusuo nodded: "I will."

[How is China? I want to know the news of that Chinese man...]

When he saw this line of words appearing on the recognition software again, Kusuo glanced out the window: "His [WeChat] is currently catching up with [Tengji Technology]'s [WeChat]. If nothing unexpected happens, it is estimated that in two days or three days, it will officially become the largest social software on the mobile terminal after [Q Dog]... His pirated [Apple], except for the appearance, still has no breakthroughs in technology, and no core technology. It is always in the OEM stage like other Chinese mobile phones..."

"He is just a clown who is riding on the popularity of our iPhone series, that's all!"

That Chinese man...

is still very small for Kusuo and others.

The difference between a real technology company and an OEM Internet company is still a world of difference.

Kusuo didn't understand why Jos paid so much attention to the Chinese man. Almost every time he came over, he would see Jos asking about the young man's condition.

[Arrogance is the original sin. Although the distance between us is still very large, I always have a hunch that the Chinese man will do something amazing in the future...]

[From 1949 to the present, from the atomic bomb to the gradually involved in the field of science and technology, the country of China has created too many miracles...]

[It is inevitable that they are dirty and backward, but they have always been in the position of pursuers, always catching up with the time when we were lost]

[What is really alarming is that their culture has never stopped falling. With 5,000 years of culture and national cohesion, I always feel that they can create miracles]

[Every time I lie in bed during this period, I will be dreaming. I dream that one day, our iPhone series will no longer surprise people. I dream that one day, our technical barriers will be broken through by them. I also dream that there will be One day, our advantages are gradually being caught up...]

[We stand very high, and we see everyone as small, but these small existences will always climb to our position inadvertently...]

【……】

Young José was once arrogant.

He is so arrogant that he knows he has a heart problem. He is so arrogant that even though he has cancer, he still thinks that he can improve it by being a vegetarian and eating other things.

He paid a heavy price for his arrogance.

But during those days on the sickbed, after he no longer dealt with the tedious daily tasks, he began to calm down and truly began to examine himself and each of his former opponents.

In the past few days, he could not help but think of the despicable Chinese young man who once made him gnash his teeth, and then a feeling of worry gradually emerged in his heart.

Seeing Kusu's indifference, he suddenly felt a surge of worry and fear deep in his heart.

He used his greatest strength to convey the worry and gloom in his heart to Kusu through words.

"I will pay attention to him!"

Kusuo looked at Jos's expression and finally nodded solemnly.

Seeing the solemn expression on Kusuo's face, Joss did not relax, but continued to write a line of words on the recognition software.

[We must face up to ourselves, and we must face up to our opponents. We must always be wary of any new forces, and we must always maintain technological competitiveness.]

【……】

"Yes, Mr. Jos, you need to rest first!"

Kusuo's cell phone rang.

Kusuo answered the phone, and then looked at Joss again, who was struggling to sit up and seemed to have countless things to say.

"I will do a good job at the press conference tomorrow."

Kusuo's eyes finally turned red. After saying this, he stood up and finally walked out of the ward.

Joss looked at Kusuo's leaving figure, his lips kept moving, and his body struggled more and more fiercely, but at that moment the ward was closed.

His body slowly calmed down.

His eyes gradually became dull and he stared blankly at the ceiling.

The entire ward became extremely quiet.

It was so quiet that he could hear his heart gradually slowing down and his life force gradually passing away.

He finally closed his eyes.

Ear...

The nurse's sudden, anxious voice seemed to echo.

…………………………………………

Even though iPhone4S was driven by Zhang Sheng in various ways...

However, the astonishing global sales of 70 million are still surprising.

The number of units in China reached a stifling 24.5 million units...

When this sales volume was announced, the entire Internet was blown to the sky, and the popularity remained high.

A product.

It can really sell well and last for a long time.

In addition to brand effect, product power and brand influence are also needed.

Obviously, iPhone4S does have this influence.

Ma Hongbo’s [Apple 4S] China sold a total of 6.3 million units last year, including domestic and overseas sales.

It’s a pretty good report card.

[Apple 4S] Does it have product capabilities?

Yes, but apart from cost-effectiveness, it has always occupied the mid-to-low-end position, following the ranks of mobile phone brands such as [Taomi Mobile] and [Zhongsheng Mobile].

Is there anything independently developed?

Do you have the core technology?

Unfortunately……

Except for the so-called [appearance patent] and [battery], it has nothing.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

January 28th.

Ma Hongbo hurried to Zhang Sheng's office.

When he arrived at the office, Ma Hongbo had a complicated expression.

“Should our [Apple 5] be released?”

"What configuration?"

“The previous [Apple 4] was an S4 processor owned by [American Long Sky]. This year’s [Apple 5]... we can’t purchase the S5 from [American Long Sky] Group in terms of processors..."

"Why can't I buy it?"

"It's just...a channel problem. The other party claimed that it takes a while..."

"Do you know what processor the iPhone 5 will use?"

"I don't know the specific information, but it is most likely to use an A6 dual-core processor, but we have upgraded it in other aspects, such as the camera..."

"Do we have our own intelligent robot?"

"We have Android's smart voice..."

"..."

Ma Hongbo sat opposite Zhang Sheng.

Looked at Zhang Sheng silently.

He felt that the atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

He tried to suppress this solemnity: "We can take advantage of the popularity of the iPhone 5 release to release our [Apple 5] on the same stage. Mr. Zhang, as long as you come on stage and shout out, with your current influence, you can definitely... At least in terms of sales, it will definitely be better than [Apple 4S], maybe it can exceed 8 million..."

"..."

Ma Hongbo sounded hopeful, but he didn't see Zhang Sheng's nod.

This was the first time he saw a serious look on Zhang Sheng's face.

"Do we have to rely on each other's influence to flaunt ourselves every time?"

"ah?"

"..."
