Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 593 Changing Fate Against Heaven

Gang Leader Qiao, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, was a little confused at this time.

He didn't expect that all he had to do was send a tweet and his iPhone 3G would freeze.

If it were any other situation, this little thing wouldn't have much impact at all.

But today is Apple's developer conference, and the screen of the iPhone 3G prototype in hand is also being broadcast live, with thousands of guests watching.

And among these guests, there are countless media reporters.

At this moment, the scene of the iPhone 3G crashing may have been reported by reporters.

Once it is not handled well, it is likely to cause a major crisis public relations incident.

After all, this is a global live developer conference, but the new generation iPhone 3G performs so poorly. How can it win the trust of consumers?

Fortunately, Gang Leader Qiao was a man who had experienced numerous battles, so he immediately restarted his phone.

He turned around and smiled calmly at the audience, and then complained about himself: "I'm sorry, everyone, it's true that I took it too much for granted before.

Just yesterday, my colleagues in the company and Twitter advised me not to use my own account to demonstrate today.

As everyone saw, the fans were so enthusiastic that they almost burned out the CPU of the iPhone 3G, haha..."

When he complained like this, the guests were all amused by him, and the whole place burst into laughter.

Gang Leader Qiao then walked to the front of the stage and interviewed the four Twitter giants sitting in the first row: "Jack, the four of you just saw it with your own eyes. How do you respond?"

The assistant in charge of the field was very discerning and handed the microphone to Jack Dorsey.

"Steve, you can't blame us for this. Because just a few seconds ago, news came from the company that your fans once again crashed the Twitter website.

This is already the third outage caused by you since Twitter went online, so I should ask you this question instead.

It's absolutely terrifying why your fans are so crazy.

If this continues, Twitter will be shut down by your fans.

You must know that we have made sufficient preparations for today's press conference, and even increased the backup server by 50%. But I still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening, for which I deeply regret. "

Jack Dorsey spread his hands and pretended to be innocent.

That look seemed to be crying: Do you blame me? We at Twitter are also victims. Who have we offended?

As a result, Jack Dorsey's misfortune once again caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Foreigners already have a culture of humor, and a good joke can often resolve the embarrassment, allowing everyone to laugh it off and get through the crisis smoothly.

What's more, the question and answer between Gang Leader Qiao and Jack Dorsey is a perfect coordination.

It not only explains how crazy the fans are, but also explains from the side that the iPhone 3G is not as vulnerable as everyone thought.

Fans who were totally crazy about Gangzhu Qiao just now are not that the iPhone 3G is not good enough.

After all, even the Twitter website was downed by fans, let alone a small mobile phone.

So Gang Leader Qiao returned to the demonstration stage again, picked up the restarted mobile phone, and hurriedly set the Twitter message notification to not automatically prompt.

Then I clicked on the Twitter App again, and this time the program failed to log in.

Because the Twitter website is still undergoing repairs, services have not been restored yet.

Upon seeing this, Gang Leader Qiao hurriedly showed the screen on his mobile phone, once again using his super speaking ability, and joked to the four giants of Twitter:

"Haha, it seems that the iPhone 3G is more powerful.

Lo and behold, our phones have all restarted, but Twitter’s servers are still down! "

Another light-hearted joke, turning passive into active, downplaying the impact of the iPhone 3G crashing.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

All the guests were once again amused by Gang Leader Qiao's impromptu talk show and applauded for his sense of humor.

“Okay, Steve, you win!

When I go back, I will replace all the company's computers with iMacs and the servers with the same models from Apple.

If it goes down again, I'll have to find someone to take responsibility for. "

Jack Dorsey is also very good at things. He directly played a trick and passed the blame to the computer hardware manufacturers. He also praised Apple's iMac computer.

The audience present once again cheered and applauded for his humorous response.

Gang Leader Qiao smiled slightly when he heard this, and responded readily and confidently: "Apple, you are trustworthy!"

The two sang together and finally resolved a crisis. What followed was that everyone had a new understanding of the App released by Twitter on the iPhone 3G.

Not only is tweeting fast, but even interactions are synchronized in real time.

This makes everyone feel very fresh. This feeling of being able to socialize online anytime and anywhere is so interesting.

When the reporters published what had just happened, the entire network was once again shocked.

For a while, the Twitter website, which had just recovered from the downtime, was hit by a huge wave of traffic. Countless netizens came to watch Gang Leader Qiao’s account to see if it was really that magical.

"Hi, Steve, I'm here too. I'm the seventh from the left in the fourth row. Am I more handsome than you?"

This was the comment that received the most responses from netizens, and the person who posted it was one of the reporters present.

After Gang Leader Qiao posted a Twitter update, the reporter used his laptop to connect to the Internet to open the Twitter website and made a comment immediately.

The result is obvious. How could netizens spare him so easily? The eye bag is destined to be ruined by everyone.

"Who do you think you are, you dare to compete with my idol, Gang Leader Qiao?"

"Quickly step back, only I, the Texas native of Tom Cruise, dare to say that I am more handsome than Steve."

"Put it down, is it just you? Have you ever asked me about New Jersey's little plum?"

"Sorry, I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that what I got in exchange was alienation.

Stop pretending, I have a showdown.

Actually, I am Brad Pitt’s younger brother, Brad Pitt. "

As a result, the reporter's comment was completely spoiled by netizens, and it became a trending topic on Twitter in an instant.

The more fun netizens have playing, the more it shows that they don’t care about the recent crash.

Some funny responses were also shown to the guests present by Gang Leader Qiao, which made everyone laugh non-stop.

What everyone is most interested in at this time is, when will the iPhone 3G be launched? How much is the selling price?

If it’s cheap, get one so you can use Twitter anytime and anywhere.

Boss Qiao realized that the atmosphere was almost complete, and immediately introduced the most important product information.

The 3G memory version of iPhone 8G is priced at US$199;

The 16G version costs $299, and both versions are available in black and white.

On July 2008, 7, it will be available for sale simultaneously in 11 countries, and all other regions will be available before the end of the year.

For economically developed countries, this price is quite affordable.

What no one could have guessed was that the days when they could enjoy iPhones cheaply were numbered.

When Qiao Qiao abdicates due to illness and Cook takes over, the price of iPhone will rise step by step to the point where ordinary people will feel distressed if they bite the bullet and buy it.

With a thank you from Gang Leader Qiao, the product release speech session of this Apple Developer Conference came to a successful end.

All the guests stood up and applauded as the great entrepreneur and product guru slowly walked off the stage.

"What a risk, what a risk, thanks to Jack for your quick reaction!"

Evan Williams was still afraid of the recent outage, and he still couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

Jack Dorsey shook his head and said modestly: "Well, it's all Steve's fault. I just followed him and said a few words casually.

After all, no one could have guessed that his fans would be so crazy. It almost scared me just now. "

"Okay, let's go say hello to Steve and then go back quickly."

Biz Stone urged from the side, after all, there are still a lot of things at Twitter, and Gang Leader Qiao is busy now and has no time to chat with them.

"That's right, that's right, we haven't finished using our ultimate move yet!" Dick Costolo glanced at Ma Liang and followed suit.

Ma Liang naturally knew what they were talking about. After all, Twitter shined at today's Apple conference, which can be said to be the biggest bonus.

All of this was arranged in advance, just to launch a big satellite today and prepare for the next financing.

And the matter is far from over yet, there are still plans for the next step in the afternoon.

So everyone went to the backstage to chat with Gang Leader Qiao, and Ma Liang also got to know this big boss who he admired greatly in his previous life.

Then, the group returned to Twitter’s headquarters and watched the follow-up plans unfold.

Just after the morning session of the Apple Developer Conference ended, Twitter convened several media outlets to hold a press conference in the afternoon and announced a big news.

[Twitter reversed its losses and became profitable for the first time since its establishment. ]

This news spread around the world at the speed of light, causing an uproar in the technology and venture capital circles of various countries.

Turning losses into profits means that Twitter's business model has been fully verified.

You must know that Facebook, which was previously known as the king of social networking, was still losing money. Unexpectedly, Twitter was able to catch up from behind and achieve profitability ahead of schedule.

As soon as this bombshell came out, coupled with Apple's strategic cooperation, the battle for the king of the social track was completely determined in an instant.

Twitter won, undisputedly...
