Chapter 782 Your life is like a candle in the wind (4k)

"Drip, drip, drip."

The heartbeat monitor chart was beating up and down. Jobs weakly opened his eyelids and saw doctors and nurses standing around him.

"Steve, Steve."

Laurenna was excited to see her husband awake.

Jobs woke up slowly and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Almost a day."

Laurenna had tears in her eyes, Steve, you scared me to death. Fortunately, you were rescued in time, otherwise you would..."

Jobs suddenly remembered that he was in a coma because of Apple's negative news, and pulled himself together, "How is iPhone 4s doing now? Is the news about E. coli exceeding the standard true?"

"What you should care about now is yourself!"

Laurenna looked dissatisfied.

"No matter how concerned I am, the disease will not heal and I will not live long."

Jobs waved his hand.

"Hey!"

Laurenna interrupted his frustrated words, "Can't you just ignore Apple's affairs for a day? You have retired, why can't you choose to trust Cook and leave these matters to them to handle? The most important thing for you now is to rest. do you know!"

"I can ignore other things, but the slogan of iPhone 4s is 'My final masterpiece'. If there is a 'colon scandal', it will simply slap me in the face and ruin my reputation. You don't want me to miss the holiday." Sure?" Jobs gritted his teeth.

"But……"

Laurenna was startled.

"Nothing but, help me up and give me the tablet. I'll read the news first." Jobs' eyes were firm.

Laurenna knew that he was stubborn, so she shook the handle to slowly raise the hospital bed, "Then you have to pay attention to your mentality and control your emotions. Never be in a situation like yesterday again."

"I promise!"

Jobs made his vow and did some mental preparation before browsing the news about iPhone 4s these days.

"Almost all of the iPhone 4s that have been exposed to hygiene and quality problems are produced by Tianzhu OEMs."

"The iPhone 4s produced in Tianzhu was found to have 'excessive E. coli', which is an embarrassment for Apple and also for Tianzhu. An EU official said, 'This problem is very serious because it is related to the health of consumers. I am very suspicious of Apple. The company's product quality and culture, they should pay more attention to hygiene and quality issues in the production process, but they don't."

“The YouTube video about the serious excess of E. coli on the Apple phone has exceeded 4 million views. After the iPhone 4 antenna scandal, the iPhone [-]s once again experienced an epic overturn.”

"Considering health issues, EU countries have banned the import of iPhone 4s, and European consumers are strongly boycotting Apple."

"iphone4s, huge disappointment! In addition to the worrying health issues, the high price, internal dust, and shoddy manufacturing of the OEM, I have to re-examine Apple."

"........."

There is negative news about Apple everywhere in major media.

On forums, Tieba, Facebook, and Twitter, just like last year's "Antenna Gate", a large number of consumers gathered and organized to initiate a rights lawsuit against Apple.

pay! Must pay severely!

As much as Apple's stock price rose before, it has fallen as hard as it has now. It has only been exposed for a day, and it has fallen by more than 5%.

"Cough! Cough!"

Jobs was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing and didn't bother to rest. He asked Laurenna to call Cook quickly.

"Steve, I heard Laurenna say yesterday that you suddenly became seriously ill and were sent to the emergency room? How is your health now?"

There was concern in Cook's voice.

Partly as an old friend, I care about his health.

Half of it is Jobs as the totem of Apple. Now is the time when Apple is in quagmire. At this juncture, although the death of Jobs can save Apple, life is more meaningful than death. The banner of Jobs cannot fall.

At least for now, Steve Jobs can't die!
"Tim, I'm fine, but it's iPhone 4s, how could this happen! Why is this happening!" Jobs roared.

"Steve, calm down. You calm down first."

Cook was inspired.

"I can't calm down! Have Wistron and Foxconn and other OEMs done a good job in quality control! Do they want to cooperate with Apple for the last time! What's going on with E. coli!"

Jobs was like a sick lion, gnashing his teeth.

"We have made a preliminary investigation into the situation. The main reason is that there is a problem at the Tianzhu OEM factory, but it is not intentional by the OEM factory. In fact, there is a huge gap in quality and ability between workers in Tianzhu and workers in China." Cook. Why?

"Really?"

"Really, we overestimated Tianzhu. How can I put it? If we strictly follow the quality control standards of Huaxia OEMs, Tianzhu's pass rate may not be 40%, maybe less than 10%."

"........."

Jobs was speechless for a while. Tianzhu and China are both big countries. Why is the gap between big countries so big?
"But this mistake is tolerable. After all, it takes time to train skilled and high-quality workers. The Tianzhu foundry has only been built for about a year. We cannot give up on Tianzhu."

Cook warned.

"Of course I know."

Jobs sighed inwardly. Not to mention opening Apple's market in Tianzhu, Wistron and Foxconn, the "workers" in Apple's supply chain, had already invested hundreds of millions or more than a billion dollars in Tianzhu. He suddenly gave up. ,How can it be!

What's more, moving the production line to Tianzhu can not only reduce costs and avoid tariffs, but also reduce costs and increase efficiency, making more money.

At this point, I have already made plans for a global recall. I also asked how many iPhone 4s will be produced in Tianzhu?
"Currently, 800 million iPhones have been sold globally, and 10% of them are produced in Tianzhu," Cook said. "We are considering recalling the iPhone 4s produced in Europe and the United States, and selling them to other places together with the iPhone [-]s produced in Tianzhu."

"Other places? Europe has banned the import of Apple mobile phones produced in Tianzhu, and the United States is definitely not allowed to do so."

Jobs sneered: "Where else can the market digest so many and so expensive iPhone 4s? Tianzhu? Tianzhu does not have such a large spending power."

"Tianzhu is impossible, but China can, and China has huge market capacity and purchasing power." Cook replied.

"When this happened, didn't China ban imports? Didn't China take corresponding measures?" Jobs asked curiously.

"No, not at the moment. Even China's major e-commerce platforms are willing to cooperate with Apple. The supply exceeds demand. It is expected that sales will exceed the European market. This is also a blessing among misfortunes." Cook couldn't help laughing.

"The iPhone 4s exported to China did not reveal any hygiene problems?" Jobs was surprised.

"Not yet, because most of the ones in circulation are produced by Huaxia OEMs. The mobile phones produced by Huaxia workers are of very good quality, with a pass rate as high as 98%, and there are no hygiene problems."

Cook said quietly: "Maybe we should have let a group of foundries go to Tianzhu and let a group of foundries stay in China. Now Foxconn's foundry in China has a production capacity that is far from being able to meet the worldwide demand for iPhone 4s."

"If, if, all the iPhone 4s manufactured in Tianzhu were supplied to China, and the same amount of iPhone [-]s manufactured in China were used to compensate and replace them for European and American consumers, what do you think?" Jobs touched his chin.

"I think there is no problem. Many multinational brands have quality crises. When they recall products globally, they always ignore China. However, Chinese consumers do not have any dissatisfaction."

Cook disagreed, "Just do it!" July 7, Yanjing Wanda Plaza.

At this moment, the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was held as scheduled. As the first event of Wanda Pictures' opening, it naturally paid the highest attention to it, and even Wang Jianlin and Wang Sicong attended in person.

In line with the fact that this is the first cooperation between Hantang and Wanda Pictures, and because Hantang invested in Wanda Pictures, Gao Yuanyuan asked all the artists under Hantang to come and support the show.

Chinese entertainment forces from Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai also came to help. For a time, the stars were bright and the momentum was huge.

Even "Avengers" doesn't have such a grand spectacle. What's even more unexpected is that Lu Fei is also here!
In the car, Gao Yuanyuan picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of An Muxi's mouth, "I didn't expect you would ask to come?"

"Whoo~"

Lu Fei breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Is it directed at Master?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised the corner of her mouth, "Don't worry, the character design of 'Koi Goddess' will not be messed up. We can count on Shishi, a top star, to bring more attractions to TV series and movies."

"What are you thinking?"

Although the two were an old couple, Lu Fei couldn't help but scratch her nose, "Let's borrow a piece of land to do something."

"What happened?" Gao Yuanyuan asked doubtfully.

"Beat the dog in the water."

Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his arm, and let her hold it. The two got out of the car and walked on the red carpet that stretched for dozens of meters.

"Kakkaka~"

Long guns and short cannons naturally bombarded them indiscriminately.

Among the media on both sides, there were some reporters who had been arranged in advance, swarming forward and pushing to the front.

As soon as Lu Fei wrote his signature on the signature plate, a reporter claiming to be "Penguin News" stood up and asked a question:

"Mr. Lu, as we all know, you are a busy man, why did you take time to attend the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife"?"

"Yeah, originally I didn't have time to attend this kind of movie event. After all, Logic is in trouble right now."

Lu Fei said seriously: "The United States sanctioned Logic, TSMC sued Fuxin, Samsung and Logic were in a patent lawsuit, and recently, Apple's iPhone 4s is challenging Logic's mobile phone again, but fortunately, Apple approved a leave note for me, and I never expected it. , iPhone 4s actually has E. coli bacteria exceeding the standard.”

"Huh."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

I'm afraid I'm taking this opportunity to smash Apple's brand!

Immediately afterwards, a reporter from New Wolf came to fill in.

“Will this year’s Logic X5 feel pressure when facing Apple’s most powerful smartphone, the iPhone 4s?”

"Pressure? No!"

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed: "Originally it was 4, or [-], but now, iPhone [-]s has such a big problem. If logic can't win as usual, then it won't be called 'logic'!"

He paused and said, "Actually, it's hard for me to believe that iPhone 4S will be Steve Jobs's last masterpiece. Would someone as striving for excellence as Steve Jobs allow this to happen? I think it's probably Apple's marketing ploy."

The media are talking a lot, these words are quite cruel!

It is equivalent to saying that the iPhone 4S is promoted as "Jobs' last masterpiece", which is suspected of false propaganda and over-marketing!
"Mr. Lu, the news that the iPhone 4s' E. coli bacteria exceeded the standard has gone viral on the Internet. What do you think of this?"

"Unexpectedly, but reasonably, Tianzhu also invited Logic to build a new foundry in Tianzhu, but after our repeated investigations and postgraduate entrance examinations, we finally chose Zhengzhou in southern Henan."

Lu Fei said righteously and sternly: "The fundamental reason is that China's manufacturing level is far ahead of Tianzhu! Logic, why should we sacrifice the near for the far!"

"But some foreign media said that only European and American manufacturing industries are at the world's high-end first-class manufacturing level. There is not much difference between Tianzhu manufacturing and Huaxia manufacturing. They are both low-end industrial chains." The reporter asked.

"First of all, it is nonsense to say that manufacturing in Tianzhu is at the same level as manufacturing in China. The status of manufacturing in China in the world's manufacturing industry cannot be shaken by sleep."

Lu Fei said with a smile: "Compared to American manufacturing, China only lacks high-end manufacturing. However, in recent years, we have been working hard to upgrade the manufacturing industry and have made achievements in the fields of semiconductors, consumer electronics, and energy vehicles. , otherwise, the United States would not be so anxious to launch the sanctions list."

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at him and realized that this was what he was doing. Her eyes were full of admiration. Even though he stole the limelight of the premiere, she was not annoyed at all.

Say it earlier!
If you had told me earlier, I would have called in all the media from across the country!
Listening to him talk endlessly about the important connection between "logic" and "Made in China", the media and movie fans were a little confused, as if they were not at a movie premiere.

"I believe that slowly, China Manufacturing will one day complete a qualitative change from quantity to quality and rank first in the world!"

Lu Fei faced the camera, high-spirited.

Another reporter jumped out, "According to reports, Feigou, Jingdong and Meituan held Apple mobile phone launch events. Are there any defective mobile phones produced in Tianzhu? If there are quality problems or hygiene problems, how can consumers protect their rights? ?”

"That's a good question!"

"Please rest assured that consumers in China, e-commerce platforms such as Jingdong, Feigou and Meituan have jointly formed a rights protection lawyer advisory group, which will be fully responsible for consumer rights protection issues for iPhone 4s, whether it is returns, refunds, or claims for compensation. We are all very supportive of consumer rights protection."

The corner of Lu Fei's lips raised, "And just in case, in the future, the e-commerce platform will reject any Apple mobile phone produced in Tianzhu, and will only accept iPhone 4s produced by the Chinese foundry."

"Clap clap clap!"

In an instant, the applause sounded like thunder.

Mr. Lu is here! It’s coming to the sky!

Just when Feigou took the lead and joined forces with e-commerce platforms such as Meituan, Ali, and Dangdang to boycott Apple mobile phones produced in Tianzhu, a piece of gossip spread like wildfire on the Internet.

Impressively——

It is rumored that Apple and European dealers decided to urgently transfer iPhones made in China to Europe, and transferred this batch of defective products to the Chinese market in an attempt to get Chinese consumers to pay the order.

All of a sudden, it ignited the anger of public opinion.

On Weibo, Tieba, WeChat, QQ, and portals, people kept criticizing Apple verbally and writtenly, so much so that it alarmed the official decision.

An investigation team is dispatched to strictly investigate and collect evidence.

The frightened Apple China branch immediately reported it to the headquarters. Even if Cook was reluctant, he could not give up the Chinese market, so he had to pinch his nose. The official announcement was that the Tianzhu foundry only produces about 7% of iPhones, which is not enough to supply the entire Chinese market.

"According to the latest news from the supply chain, Apple will randomly distribute the iPhone 4s series produced in Tianzhu and China to users around the world."

"Regarding the recent discrepancy in the recall and replacement of Apple mobile phones, an Apple spokesperson said it is purely a rumor!"

The news was playing on the TV, but there was no one in the hospital bed.

Laurenna stood anxiously in front of the operating room door, as if she could see Jobs undergoing surgery, holding her hands together, constantly praying to the cross in her hands, praying to God.

After a while, the doctor tiredly walked out of the operating room with a shocking piece of bad news. Jobs' life was in ruins and he was not expected to survive the end of this year. He should prepare for his funeral.

"Steve!"

Laurenna burst into tears, I told her to leave the apple alone!
You don't listen! I want to fight to the end with Huaxia Luhuo!
Oh, God! Why do you want to side with Huaxia Continent!
