Reborn Millennial Gamer

January 2007, 1, finally came this day.

Everyone who pays attention to Apple knows that Jobs will unveil the first smart phone to enter the mobile phone market today.

Originally, he disdained to deal with the media in person, but with iPhone Jewelry in front of him, Apple, who came later, felt more pressure.

Not long ago, Jobs made a special trip to visit newspapers and magazines such as "Wall Street Journal" and "Connection" to conduct public relations one by one.

Even Tim Cook, as the second leader, ran around Apple's global suppliers, trying to avoid overlapping with the logical supply chain as much as possible, but there was one thing that couldn't be avoided——

It is the baseband chip!

Especially Qualcomm, which is the CDMA technical standard.

Paul Jacobs gave enough respect to the sponsor's father, Apple, and came to the Masconi Convention Center in San Francisco half an hour before the press conference, and had a face-to-face conversation with Apple's top executives.

"We are very happy that Apple can purchase Qualcomm's chips. As for the price, Tim, you know best that Qualcomm will take a certain percentage of every iPhone sold."

Jobs and Tim Cook glanced at each other. They had heard about the "Qualcomm tax" for a long time. The former sniffed, while the latter smiled shrewdly: "No problem, but we hope that Apple can enjoy patent licensing fees like logic. Discount, isn't that too much to ask for?"

"How much do you want?"

Paul Jacobs looks left and right.

Jobs acted as a black face, opened his mouth for each Apple mobile phone, and only paid a licensing fee of US$1.5.

"$1.5? $1.5!"

Paul Jacob seemed to hear a big joke, and couldn't help laughing: "Sau Rui, I don't know if I heard it wrong, or you said it wrong, are you sure it's $1.5?"

"It's $1.5."

Jobs straightforwardly pointed out that the WiMAX communication standard initiated by Intel has received responses from Motorola, Samsung, IBM, Nokia and other major manufacturers, and has also won the support of some operators. Except for one logic, Qualcomm is isolated and helpless. Shouldn’t it give its allies a little sweetness? try it?
If you don't give it, Sajia immediately defected to the WiMAX camp!

The big deal is to cooperate with Intel to develop baseband chips!
"Are you threatening me?"

Paul Jacob sneered.

"We're helping you, Paul."

Tim Cook sang red face and said in a good voice: "Apple can sign an exclusive 'marketing incentive agreement' with Qualcomm, and this part of the discount will be regarded as a 'marketing fee'.

In exchange, Apple will firmly stand on your side and jointly oppose the Intel-led WiMAX standard. As long as we find that we use the baseband chip of Qualcomm's opponent, this agreement will be immediately and unconditionally voided. "

Paul Jacob couldn't help being moved, but shook his head: "$1.5 is too little, even if it's logic, it's not that low."

"How much logic went wrong?"

Jobs narrowed his eyes.

"This is a commercial secret, and I cannot disclose it."

Paul Jacobs said with a stern face: "But I can remind you that in just over four months, lphone has sold more than 2000 million units worldwide. Even so, Lu did not ask me for $1.5. , do you think Apple mobile phone can surpass lphone?"

"Beyond?"

When Jobs was about to rage, Tim Cook beat him to the punch:
"Paul, don't you believe in the capabilities of Jobs and Apple? We will not only surpass the iPhone, but even surpass the entire era. The Apple mobile phone is definitely an epoch-making work!"

"I trust you, Jobs, but I also trust Lu, and I trust my eyes even more." Paul Jacobs pointed to his own eyes, "Why don't you show me the iPhone displayed at this press conference? "

"Sorry, I'm afraid this will have to wait until the press conference."

There was regret in Tim Cook's tone.

"Ah."

Paul Jacob felt contempt in his heart.

Lu Fei did not hesitate to allow himself to get started, thinking back to the shock of the first time he came into contact with the lphone, still in front of his eyes.

However, Apple didn't even dare to take it out, and even surpassed lphone, who gave you the courage?

"Ahem, Paul, it's not that we don't want to disclose it to you, but that Apple's mobile phone had a very serious commercial leak, and the confidentiality level of the entire project had to be raised to the highest level."

Tim Cook had a serious face.

"What! You mean someone leaked your mobile phone plan?" Paul Jacob couldn't help being surprised.

"That's right, Lu and that bastard who developed the Android system are thieves! lphone and Android are stolen products!"

Jobs looked sullen and gritted his teeth.

"Are you saying that Logic's lphone is the solution to stealing your iPhone?" Paul Jacob asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"As soon as last year's press conference ended, we immediately conducted an investigation on the company's top and bottom to see which link leaked the secrets. Now we have a clear direction and are collecting enough evidence." Tim Cook looked serious.

Seeing their serious faces, which did not seem to be fake, Paul Jacob murmured in his heart, could it be true?

But still couldn't believe it, he frowned and said, "Whoever is right and who is wrong between you and logic, I will not intervene. Qualcomm is willing to cooperate with any manufacturer that supports the CDMA standard. Since the Apple mobile phone can only be seen at the press conference, then wait for the press conference." When it's over, let's sit down and talk about discounts."

"Huh, we will destroy lphones, we will destroy androids!"

Jobs put down his harsh words, shook his head and left.

"Steve is like that." Tim Cook smiled awkwardly and politely, then turned and followed.

"嘁~"

Paul Jacob curled his lips, logic plagiarized Apple?

Fun, fun, and the movement is getting bigger and bigger!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to tell Lu Fei immediately, took out my phone, and dialed decisively.

Buzz, buzz.

The mobile phone on the bed was vibrating, and Zeng Li was standing upside down on the bed at the moment, with her two long legs leaning against the wall in order to get pregnant.

"A Fei, the phone is ringing."

"Who called?"

Lu Fei straightened his clothes in front of the mirror and fastened the buttons on his cuffs.

"Well, Paul Jacobs."

Zeng Li got off the bed naked, handed over the phone, took the tie from his hand, and tied it on him gently: "Why do you like red so much? This year is not your birth year."

"Of course it's a red scarf."

Lu Fei talked to Paul Jacobs, his bright smile disappeared quickly, and his whole face was pulled down, cloudy or sunny.

"what happened?"

Zeng Li straightened his collar.

"It's nothing, he urged me to come to the press conference to meet."

Lu Fei lowered his head and pecked her mouth, then seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally supporting his old waist, his footsteps were weak, as if his body had been hollowed out.

"Pfft."

Zeng Li's glamorous face rarely showed a charming smile like a juicer, and she muttered to herself: "Well, I have to make up for him tonight, scrambled eggs with leeks, shrimp and seahorse soup, stewed pork loin, and stewed wolfberries." Pigeon, I don’t know if the United States sells soft-shelled turtles..."

…………

At dusk, the sun sets.

Apple's macworld conference was held on time.

In addition to Apple fans and the media, friends and businessmen who may value Apple mobile phones more than anyone else attended the event one after another.

Among the crowd walking in the special passage, they could vaguely see the faces of Nokia CEO Kallasvuo Kallasvuo and others, as well as Eric Schmidt, Apple director and Google CEO.

Of course he was there, and so was Larry Page.

"Hey, Lu, this way, this way!"

As soon as Lu Fei stepped into the gate, he saw Larry Page waving at him, enthusiastically recommending to his friends:

"Let me introduce, this is Elon Musk, one of the founders of PayPal and a good friend of mine."

"Lu, I finally met you."

Elon Musk seemed to see an idol, his white and fat face flushed instantly, and he held his hand without letting go: "You are really an unbelievable guy, awesome~"

"You taught him?"

Lu Fei almost laughed out loud, and looked at Larry Page in surprise.

I saw him nodding complacently: "Me, Brin and Musk often talk about very interesting things, including some crazy ideas, let's talk about cars. This guy successfully fooled me and even invested in his Tesla. 4000 million U.S. dollars, Lu, can you believe it, it's not a petrol car, it's a pure electric car!"

"Hey, how can you say 'fudge'?"

Elon Musk smacked his lips: "Didn't you already see the prototype car? It won't be long before you can build a product system around Tesla, sports car, SUV, and even off-road..."

"Ah, yes, yes, and then build an energy system to support a 'fully sustainable earth', Lu, listen, how crazy it is." Larry Page looked sideways, but saw that Lu Fei was calm , there was no surprise on his face.

"Oh, in fact, I also invested in a company that develops new energy electric vehicles, and I also brought Buffett along."

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up slightly.

"Hiss, Buffett?!"

Elon Musk and Larry Page looked at each other, their eyes were burning with fire, and they asked in unison which company it was.

Lu Fei said: "BYD just launched its first electric car equipped with iron phosphate batteries last year, and now it is moving towards pure electric cars, and the momentum is very good."

"Lu, why are you interested in electric cars?"

Larry Page was puzzled.

"Our great scientist in China, Qian, gave me inspiration. He published a report on new energy vehicles, saying that civilian vehicles can take the electrified route in the future. I think I can try it."

Lu Fei glanced at Elon Musk calmly.

"Is it the money of one of the six founders of NASA!"

Elon Musk's shoulders trembled with excitement.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Lu, besides electric cars, this guy has even more crazy ideas. He's actually building rockets."

Larry Page shook his head and laughed, "I want to colonize Mars."

"What's the matter, I have a dream, I want to retire on Mars." Elon Musk raised his chin, "So I have to build the world's largest rocket, otherwise how can I go to the sky!"

"But you've been bombing for two years."

Larry Page rolled his eyes, and was about to take this opportunity to persuade his old friend who was about to go bankrupt, but Lu Fei suddenly interjected:

"I think it's very cool. If it's not that I have too many things to do, or I also want to build a rocket. Even if it blows up, it will be a firework. It is definitely the most splendid firework in the world."

"That's right! That's right!"

Elon Musk's face is full of "you know me" excitement.

"If you need help or investment, you can come to me. Larry's friend is my friend."

Lu Fei looked like a big brother and senior, patting him on the shoulder while pouring chicken soup, pony, pony, work hard.

Maybe it will be called "American Lu Fei" in the future!
The two immediately exchanged business cards and contact information, and came to the venue talking and laughing. According to the seats arranged in advance, they came to the designated position, next to Paul Jacobs.

All of a sudden, it became the focus of everyone's attention.

It is because the sales volume of the lphone, which opened up a new era of mobile phones, is too dazzling. Although it still lags behind Nokia with 06 million units, Sony Ericsson with 3.35 million units, and Samsung with 7480 million units in the global sales rankings in 6330, it is only With two models of logicX and lphone, it surpassed LG with 3090 million units, ranking fourth in the world.

It accounts for 3% of the global market share, which is terrifying.

Smartphones have thus gained a firm foothold.

"I heard that Apple is also releasing a smartphone this time?"

"It should be because I saw the big sale of logic, and I wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with this wave and make a lot of money by taking advantage of the concept of 'smart machine'!"

"Not necessarily, Jobs is not a person who will follow suit! How could he be willing to follow in the footsteps of the Huaxia people?"

"Only a company from Bangzi Country like Samsung will shamelessly follow suit. It is said that Samsung is also going to release a smartphone?"

"What's Motorola's attitude?"

"Motorola's attitude is that it has the attitude of Nokia, and Nokia is the number one!"

"..."

The peers around whispered, and there is always a consensus in the industry that the frenzy of lphone sales is entirely due to the curiosity of customers.

lphone, it was just an accident.

"Lu, is what Jobs said true?"

Paul Jacob observed Lu Fei's expression.

"I'm like you. I don't even know what the Apple phone is called or what it looks like. This is the first time I've seen it."

Lu Fei didn't change his face, and couldn't see any flaws.

"I think the same is true. Jobs is too arrogant, and he is never willing to admit the excellence and greatness of others."

Paul Jacobs nodded.

"Maybe it's a thief calling for a thief, Jobs has been a thief not once or twice." Lu Fei smiled.

"That's right, I've been a habitual offender for a long time!"

Paul Jacob chuckled a few times, noticing that the lights in front of him were dim, and a few beams of light hit the stage, he immediately restrained his smile.

The entire press conference was kept strictly confidential. Everyone at the scene not only asked to turn off the recorder, but also put away their notebooks and pens.

"Wow~"

Amid applause, Jobs appeared on stage in his signature blue jeans and a black turtleneck.

Holding his frail body, he made some opening remarks.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to review the great evolution in Apple's history, which made the whole press conference more historical:

In 1984, the first Macintosh was born!

In 2001, the first iPod came out!

Suddenly, Jobs raised his voice and said plausibly:
"Apple's supreme principle is to make great products that change the world and never accept mediocrity, because once mediocrity is accepted, Apple will lose its great soul.

But in the past few years, Apple has had such a trend, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, let such a great company as Apple fall into the abyss of mediocrity, so——

It appeared! "

As expected of an eloquence on the same level as Lu Fei, he immediately drew everyone's attention to the upcoming mobile phone.

"It's a widescreen iPod with touch controls!"

"It's an evolutionary smartphone!"

"It's a breakthrough Internet communicator!"

Jobs loudly announced the third evolution: "This is not three different devices, but a unique device, and its name is called iMaga, make apple great again!"

"Wow!"

As soon as these words came out, applause and cheers erupted one after another.

Under the background of the atmosphere, Jobs finally took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and at the same time as a panda-colored iMaga3G on the back appeared, he repeated:
"A widescreen iPod with touch controls!"

"A revolutionary mobile phone that has amazed the world!"

"A work of art to make Apple great again!"

However, when everyone cast their eyes on the iMaga in Jobs' hands, it was like pouring cold water on the blazing fire of passion. Everyone's eyes widened and they were dumbfounded on the spot.

Although this unlocking is not a sliding unlock, it is just a simple password unlocking, which is far less amazing than lphone.

This touch replaces the operation of the keyboard, which is also familiar.

The physical keys at the bottom of the screen seem familiar.

Although it is an oval, not a circle...

Although there is a slight deviation in the position of the earpiece, the shape design, IOS system, interface UI, screen ratio, etc. are also completely different, and it is not impossible for a few buttons to have similar possibilities, but the crux of the problem is that there are vaguely lphone shadow.

In some places, they even come down in one continuous line!
Paul Jacob opened his mouth wide in shock, and immediately turned his head to look at Lu Fei, wanting to know what Master Lu thinks at this moment!
There are not a few people who think the same as him.

Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and other traditional manufacturers all joined in the fun, their eyes full of gloating, hurry up, I want to see blood flow into rivers!
Lu Fei stood up slowly, and said in a calm tone:
"I have to remind Jobs, remember to pay patent fees."
