Reborn: Billionaire in College

After resting for a few days, Ge Mengshi returned to work as usual. At the insistence of Chen Pingjiang, she moved back to her parents' home. He only planned to visit them after he had finished his current tasks and had some free time.

What's the important thing?

Of course it was the iPhone 4 launch event.

Too many people got to know Apple phones and became loyal fans starting from this phone launch conference.

It was this press conference that made Jobs famous in China and put Apple on the throne.

From January to October 2009, in just 1 months, Apple's stock price rose by 10%, which is a miracle for any company, and this is where Jobs's brilliance lies. Moreover, Jobs did not go to work at Apple for a long time during this period because he was running around for a liver transplant.

This wave of Apple stock price rise also made Chen Pingjiang a lot of money, with a small profit of almost US$1.

It is impossible to reduce holdings, but the value will continue to increase.

Due to patent and production capacity factors, Orange phones cannot be sold overseas for the time being, but Apple can.

As Apple’s stock price rises, Chen Pingjiang still gets to enjoy the benefits.

"I wonder what kind of shock Jobs can bring us this time," Zhou Guangping said with emotion.

In the conference room, all the executives of Orange Mobile gathered together, basically everyone from middle level to senior level were there, about forty people, not one less.

Chen Pingjiang attaches great importance to this Apple conference, and he hopes that everyone present will take it seriously as well.

You must recognize your opponent and know how powerful it is so that Orange Mobile can be invincible in the next confrontation with Apple.

"This old man never gives up. He has been fighting cancer for many years, right?" Lin Bin looked at Jobs with admiration in his eyes.

Not to mention the contributions that Jobs himself made to business and technology, his spirit of fighting against disease and illness alone is worthy of people's respect.

But unfortunately, Chen Pingjiang knew that the old man only had a year and a half to live.

Strictly speaking, this person also delayed his own development. He could have defeated cancer.

When Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the doctor thought it was an incurable cancer and told him that his life expectancy was only 3 to 6 months. This result made Jobs' mentality "collapse", but fortunately the hospital quickly performed a pathological biopsy on Jobs, which prevented his mental collapse from lasting too long.

The results showed that Jobs' pancreatic tumor was a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, a very rare type of pancreatic cancer that can be cured through surgery. It only accounts for 1-5% of pancreatic tumors. Compared with classic pancreatic cancer, this type of cancer is easier to treat and has a very good prognosis.

In theory, Jobs only needed surgery to have a better chance of survival.

But I don’t know if this guy is too smart, he’s out there looking for folk remedies every day.

He tried a vegan diet, acupuncture and herbal treatments. He later searched for even more bizarre treatments online, including taking cow dung capsules and consulting a psychic.

Jobs believed in what seemed like an absurd practice to ordinary people. He thought that surgery to cut open his body was an invasion of him, and he could not accept it. However, a checkup nine months later showed that he paid the price - the tumor had metastasized.

After the metastasis, the right pancreas, gallbladder, stomach, bile duct and part of the small intestine were removed successively.

It should be time for proper treatment, right?

The old man refused chemotherapy and tried to starve the cancer cells to death. He only ate fruits and drank juice every day, but in the end, the cancer cells didn't die from starvation, but he almost died from it.

Fortunately, he was rich, so he had liver and kidney transplants, and targeted therapy. He tried almost every treatment method in the world and spent nearly 3 million US dollars, but in the end he still couldn't save himself.

Someone shouted, "It's about to begin."

Only then did Chen Pingjiang come out of his thoughts.

At 6 a.m. local time on June 7 in San Francisco, the United States, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference officially opened at the San Francisco Convention Center.

A washed top and ordinary jeans.

So Jobs walked onto the stage.

When Jobs started to discuss the new generation of Apple mobile phone, iPhone 4, he saw the new phone design lit up on the big screen.

Everyone in the conference room looked a little solemn. At the iPhone 4 launch conference, Jobs first emphasized the new design of the phone. The thickness of the phone was only 9.3 mm, which shocked the audience. This thickness can be said to have broken the record of the world's thinnest smartphone. Compared with the iPhone 3GS's thickness of 12.3 mm, the iPhone 4 is 24% thinner.

Lin Bin and Zhou Guangping both looked unhappy.

"Our S1 is 11.9mm thick, and it's 2.6mm thinner than ours."

Zhou Guangping nodded: "I guess he integrated the antenna and frame of the phone together. The stainless steel frame on the side is divided into two sections, which serve as two antennas. One is responsible for receiving Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS signals, while the other is responsible for receiving UMTS and GSM mobile phone signals. This design makes the thickness of the phone much thinner."

"I think the appearance is about the same as our Orange S1, but the iPhone 4 no longer uses the chip provided by Samsung, but uses its own A4. I think they should be very confident that this is probably better than our Qualcomm chip."

Chen Pingjiang also said: "I don't know if it's strong or not, but what is certain is that the homemade chip combined with the IOS system can definitely be more comprehensively tuned. Even if it's just a little bit worse than you, after tuning it can surpass you."

The reason why Chen Pingjiang said this is because he later used Huawei's mobile phone. The self-developed Kirin 9000S is only 7 nanometers, but it has made up for it in various aspects to make the phone as smooth as other mobile phones.

The new camera system of iPhone 4 is the most unexpected for consumers. The 500-megapixel camera supports 720P high-definition video recording, giving consumers an unprecedented mobile camera experience. According to Jobs, "iPhone 4 uses an imaging element that has greatly improved its imaging capabilities." In addition to the above improvements, the display technology of iPhone 4 is also far beyond the industry level. The resolution of the display screen has reached a high contrast ratio of 800:1, which is 3 times that of iPhone 4GS.

Fortunately, the other party did not come up with the Meipai engine, and the Orange S1 is still the only mobile phone on the market that can beautify the image.

当看到Phone 4手机16GB和32GB版本的签约价格分别是199美元和299美元，折合人民币分别是1360元和2043元时，全场的脸色都青了。

Finally, it was Chen Pingjiang who clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention: "This is a two-year contract. In fact, if it is sold in China, the 16G version will definitely not be less than 5000 yuan, and the 32G version may even be 6000 yuan. Our price is still very competitive."

"I know what you are thinking. The reason why I called you to this conference today is to tell you that there are always people better than you. Sooner or later, Orange mobile phones will go global and will clash with these giants, so we must develop better mobile phones to fight the tough battle. You can see from this conference that Apple has some things that we do better than us, but also some things that we do worse than us, so don't belittle yourself."

Lin Bin also said at the right time: "We should learn from the good places, such as chips, IOS systems, resolution, etc."

After the meeting, Chen Pingjiang, Lin Bin and Zhou Guangping found a barbecue restaurant and had some drinks.

"In fact, after watching the press conference, I am not so panicked." Zhou Guangping said with a smile: "Because of Mr. Chen, we are very competitive in appearance and photography, and most importantly, the price is very suitable. Even if Apple is listed in China, we are not afraid."

"Many of the technologies in it can also be used as reference for our later S2."

The reason why iPhone 4 became so popular was mainly because it had no strong rivals. However, with the competition from Orange S1 in the domestic market, it can naturally not reach its original heights.

But at the same time, it is undeniable that iPhone 4 will inevitably become the strongest competitor of Orange S1, and some high-end users will definitely be attracted away.

This situation exists objectively and cannot be remedied by Chen Pingjiang just by shouting a few words. Chen Pingjiang has also prepared himself for the coming impact in three months.

As expected by Chen Pingjiang, the next day, Weibo, Renren and other forums were full of news and posts discussing iPhone 4, and domestic news media also reported it extensively.

"I'm so confused. I don't know which one to choose between iPhone 4 and Orange S1. iPhone 4 is pretty good, but the beauty camera of Orange S1 is unique."

"It depends on you. You should make a decision based on your personal situation. For example, I am used to using Apple laptops, so it is natural for me to use iPhone 4. I will definitely buy it as soon as it is launched in China."

"It's definitely not cheap, definitely more expensive than the Orange S1. I chose the Orange S1, it looks good and takes better photos."

"I admit that the Orange S1 has some good features, but not much. Forget about trying to copy the iPhone 4. I don't know why the poster asked such a question. How can these two phones be compared? In my heart, the iPhone 4 is the best and beats the Orange S1."

"Haha, it's your right to choose iPhone 4, but there's no need to step on Orange S1, right? After all, Orange phones are made in China, and I support domestic products anyway."

"If you have money, go for Apple. If you have a normal budget, go for the Orange S1. Do what you can. Also, the iPhone 4 won't ship until September or October, and we don't know if it will be out of stock by then. You won't be able to use it until the end of the year. You might just buy it by then, and then the Orange S9 will be released, and it turns out to be more powerful than the iPhone 10. Then you'll be screwed."

For a while, there was a fierce quarrel on the Internet.

One group of people supported iPhone 4, another group supported Orange S1, and each gave their own reasons.

In the end, it escalated and turned into a war of words.

Compared with the calmness of Orange Mobile, Samsung and HTC are having a headache. The launch of iPhone 4 is like a stab in the back for them.

They feel that they cannot compete with iPhone 4 in foreign markets, and they cannot compete with Orange S1 in domestic markets.

I can't even take care of my head or my butt. (End of this chapter)
