But Jobs is Jobs after all, he was betrayed by his closest allies and did not defeat him, cancer did not defeat him, a Google or an Android, even if there is a threat to Apple, his way of dealing with it will never be to retreat.

After a slight pause, he smiled on the other side of the phone: "But before waking up Google, Jmap has already brought benefits, yesterday Google reconvened negotiations, and the other side has relented, no longer threatened me with maps, and began to take the initiative to turn the problem to the search service that Apple and Google cooperated......"

Hearing him say this, Ahn Jun-hyuk was a little dumbfounded, and had to interrupt him with words: "Steve......"

During this time, taking advantage of the convenience of the cooperation between the two sides to develop the map, Jobs often talked to him about the topic of work, and he knew why the other party wanted to do this, but it was precisely because of this that he felt embarrassed.

Interrupted by him, Jobs over there was silent, and then laughed heartily: "Ha Lu Ha I don't embarrass you, but I need to say it again, Ann, I want you to seriously consider my proposal, Steve Jobs has set the stage for you, you just need to stand in the light, show your ambition and charm to the fullest, and then, by the way, guard the work of his life for an old man, other than that, you don't need to give anything, on the contrary, everything you need can be obtained on this stage...... Do you understand?"

In response to him, there was a long silence, and the only sound of faint breathing was transmitted back by the phone signal.

After a while, An Junhyuk's somewhat deep voice sounded: "...... Thank you. Steve. ”

"Oh, don't be pressured, I just want you to think carefully about what is the most beneficial, what kind of choice will use the least effort to get the greatest results. I have lived in this world for more than 30 years longer than you, and before you were born in this world, I experienced the most unforgettable pain of my life, and everything I fought for was deprived overnight, that kind of embarrassment...... You can't imagine!"

"It's all because of my youth. And my naivety. Life is like walking. You'll walk on plains, you'll cross hills, but you'll fall into canyons all of a sudden. All I'm doing is acting as your guide. Find a way for you to avoid the canyon. There are no ups and downs along the road. You don't have to face all that darkness and frustration. All you can see in your field of vision is mountain after mountain, and my only request is this. Even when I don't have the strength to go any further, you can follow in my footsteps and eventually climb to the top I haven't climbed. ”

……

……

Playing with his hung up phone, Ahn Joon-hyuk sat in his office, letting the dusk of Palo Alto envelop him.

Outside the window, the sky glowed yellow, and the strong color difference of light dragged the shadows of the window grid to him, reflecting his face to the side and side, and in the quiet of the office, his ears seemed to still echo Jobs's advice.

The words were so earnest, but his heart never agreed with them!

The first time he heard Jobs's proposal, he secretly sighed that if there was no dream, if there were no memories in the dream, if he was just an ignorant young man who had just embarked on his career and had not honed his true self, he would not be able to refuse in the face of such an invitation, and he would not refuse.

As Steve Jobs said, what he offered was a smooth, no trough, no darkness and no pitfalls, and on this path, he could easily get fame and fortune, because he would get the greatest legacy of a great man.

But......

But what about other than that?

Inheritance is only inheritance after all, that career is not Ahn Junhyuk's, Ahn Junhyuk is just a successor, the glory that belongs to Jobs will never fade, and the successor seems to be under the surface of the scenery, in fact, there is only responsibility to inherit.

A road that he didn't want to take, but under the spur of responsibility, he had to continue walking, and he couldn't deviate slightly, because if you deviated, outside the lights, under the cliff next to the road, there would be countless roaring voices, they cursed, blamed, they stretched out their hands from the darkness, you pulled me, pulled to the ground!

The slightest hesitation is what Qianfu refers to, and there will be no return.

What is the difference between that kind of life and marionette?

Waking up from the dream, some things have not changed, and some have long been unrecognizable, Ahn Jun-hyuk is no longer the pure young man, he is no longer confused by prosperity, he is no longer fascinated by the five colors, because those have been experienced, and again, they are just the scenery on the side of the road.

The life that others have arranged for me has been the life I wanted.

It's not about being proud or not, conceited or not, it's about thinking this way, that's why you do it.

That's Ahn Joon-hyuk's self – past, future, and present!

Of course, more importantly, when he started to buy Gmarket and start founding Jmap, he already had a clear path for his future, and the key points of this path are Google and Sony.

JMAP has been released, and when Google realizes that their product is not irreplaceable, how will they react? When Apple starts to show the outside world its epoch-making product, its revolutionary operating system, Google has few options.

…… Open Handheld Alliance ......

Half-leaning on the pliable leather seat, elbows on the armrests, and hands crossed in front of him, Ahn Joon-hyuk looked out the window at the twilight, walked from here to the corner of the room, and walked out like a white horse, and the darkness came.

It's time to engage Sony further.

However, Ahn Jun-hyuk did not expect that when he was about to contact Kazuo Hirai the next day, Kazuo Hirai had already appeared in San Francisco on a flight that night and rushed to Palo Alto overnight.

Ahn Joon-hyuk received him at the Four Seasons Hotel, in the hotel's exquisitely decorated café, the two of them sitting opposite each other, the sound of the piano moving in the air. From time to time, there was a crisp sound of a spoon hitting the wall of the cup, looking at Kazuo Hirai who could not hide the tiredness of the dust on the other side, Ahn Junhyuk didn't say much greetings, sat down and greeted a few words, and asked directly: "Hirai-kun, I don't know ...... you are here this time."

"Hehe, I saw An Jun on the news today, and he happened to come to San Francisco to do something, so I came over to take a look. Kazuo Hirai was calm and said with a smile: "An Jun and I hit it off at first sight." When I was in Japan, we had a great conversation. It's a pity that I am riddled with trivial things, and I don't get close to each other, but at this moment, you and I are in a foreign country, and you and I just support each other!"

Ahn Joon-hyuk just smiled. but he did not speak.

Look at his reaction like this. Kazuo Hirai sighed secretly. Immediately groaned, took a sip of coffee, and cleared his throat. He continued: "I watched An Jun's Jmap press conference speech...... To be honest, I was a little confused, and I was about to ask An Jun for advice at this opportunity. ”

"Oh?" Ahn Jun-hyuk put down his cup and nodded, "Hirai-kun, please speak." ”

Kazuo Hirai looked into his eyes, paused, and asked in a slightly solemn voice: "I want to ask An Jun, what is the status of Jmap in your heart? An Jun doesn't have to prevaricate me with the same set of dealing with the media, it is undeniable that the point of view you quoted from the Tao Te Ching is indeed refreshing, but that is the development concept of Jmap, I believe that An Jun has greater expectations for its actual operation!"

There has never been a shortage of smart people in this world, although they can't know the creative storm that finally persuaded Jobs, but just looking at Ahn Junhyuk's own industry and pulling Apple, this behavior itself is enough to make smart people reverie.

Ahn Jun Hyuk said that the ultimate purpose of Kazuo Hirai coming over this time was not Jmap. Instead, with his sensitive sense of the market, he noticed that Ahn Junhyuk was behind Apple's development of map products, which was unusual.

Ahn Jun Hyuk has never underestimated Kazuo Hirai, and said an exaggerated evaluation, the entire Sony Group, if he is asked to choose a character who is the most open-minded, understands the market the most, and can be Sony's "eyes", this character is none other than Kazuo Hirai.

This middle-aged man, who is not an engineer, has been a marketer all his life, and since he worked in the entertainment industry a long time ago, he has been pondering the relationship between users and products, and if Sony's former glory has blinded all executives, then Ahn Jun-hyuk believes that only this person will not be fooled.

Because he has spent his whole life on observation.

Moreover, Ahn Junhyuk hopes that he will not be blinded by past honors.

Under his fixed gaze, An Junhyuk sat on the sofa, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest, he didn't speak for a while, and Kazuo Hirai also waited quietly, for a long time, An Junhyuk raised his head: "Hirai-kun, have you ever used a smartphone?"

Kazuo Hirai frowned, smartphones are not a new concept, Sony's mobile phone division since the merger with Ericsson to form Soison, also has its own smartphone operating system - Symbian (Ericsson is one of the founders of Symbian), the current share of the smartphone market is mostly dominated by BlackBerry and Symbian, and feature phones are completely Symbian's world.

Although he felt that Ahn Junhyuk's question was redundant, Kazuo Hirai still nodded and took out his mobile phone: "I use BlackBerry now." ”

Looking at the BlackBerry phone, which is quite trendy now, Ahn Junhyuk looked away lightly: "Do you think this is a smartphone?"

“…… What do you mean by Anjun?"

"Well, I'll put it another way. Ahn Jun-hyuk adjusted his sitting posture, folded his right leg on his left leg, crossed his hands, leaned on the right armrest of the sofa, and looked calm, "What kind of definition does Hirai-kun think intelligence should be?"

Kazuo Hirai frowned and thought for a moment, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he closed it again, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

He didn't know much about this field, and although he had some ideas in his heart, he couldn't weave them out in words, so he had to shake his head at the end.

"Intelligence in a broad sense should be split into two words - intelligence and ability!"

Ahn Joon-hyuk said, "From memory to thinking, to form intelligence, and then from intelligence to concrete action, is the ability to realize intelligence." In my opinion, the most important role of intelligence is to facilitate people's 'memory', and then facilitate people to transform these 'memories' into concrete executions. ”

"Hirai-kun, do you think the phone you use can do what I said it is convenient?"

Looking at the BlackBerry in his hand, Kazuo Hirai did not answer. Ahn Junhyuk's angle of this question is quite fresh, because the so-called smart phone at this time is actually part of the functions of the handheld computer integrated on the mobile phone.

It can assist people with some things, but it is convenient to say ......

As if to see his hesitation, Ahn Jun-hyuk said with a smile: "No, they are not convenient at all, it is actually still a mobile phone, you can't do anything else when you are on the phone, it is not a handheld computer, and the micro keyboard has taken up about 45% of its space." Its screen is too small. While both Symbian and BlackBerry are trying to make the screen display as much as possible, the most important issue is that the overall design trend of mobile phones is to be lighter, thinner, and more portable. In the case that the size of the phone itself cannot be broken through. The keyboard takes up half of the space again. The screen is so big, how much can it show even if you try?"

"That's all. It increases the complexity of the operation!" While speaking, Ahn Junhyuk also took out his BlackBerry and demonstrated to Kazuo Hirai the functions of using BlackBerry to send and receive emails and surf the Internet, "In order to squeeze out space for the screen, mobile phone manufacturers have to find a way to shrink the keyboard, but this has caused the expansion of the function keys, for example, after I finish writing an email, I want to read the news, then I have to exit the email through the cumbersome operation of the keyboard to open the news page...... It's like a computer 20 years ago, everything can only be operated by the keyboard, don't you think it's tiring?"

During his presentation, Kazuo Hirai was dumbfounded.

Many times, in the absence of contrast, people will be very satisfied with one thing, but once someone questions it, the mind opens up, and a vague concept is formed in the mind of an unthinkable point of view, which is used as a reference, and thus a contrast is formed, and the very satisfied will turn into dissatisfaction.

Stunned to look at the Blackberry mobile phone in his hand that he usually thinks is good, but at this moment he feels useless, Kazuo Hirai almost lost his language for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses, he shook his head slightly, and smiled bitterly: "An Jun's eloquence is really ......"

"It's not how eloquent I am. Ahn Jun Hyuk spread his hands, "But someone has already shown me the real intelligence, I know the purpose of Hirai-kun coming to me, the only thing I can tell you is that Apple's new product is indeed a mobile phone, a real smartphone, and its innovation in the field of intelligence is almost equivalent to the invention of the mouse!"

Ahn Junhyuk's determined tone made Kazuo Hirai a little stunned, and he immediately lost his smile: "You mean, Apple has developed a mouse for their mobile phone, or an external device that can replace the mouse, such as a stylus for a handheld computer?"

If that's the case, he'll be disappointed.

Ahn Junhyuk didn't answer his question: "Oh, I don't understand it, on the 10th of next month, Apple will hold a new product launch conference, and there will be a live broadcast at that time, if Hirai-kun has time, you might as well take a look." ”

Hearing An Junhyuk talk so much, but didn't get the news he wanted, Kazuo Hirai was a little disappointed and was about to refuse, but before the words could be spoken, through the soft light of the café, he looked at An Junhyuk's calm expression on the other side, his heart moved, and asked, "An Jun will also go to the press conference then?"

Ahn Jun Hyuk nodded: "I will attend as a guest." ”

This was not about the preferential treatment given to him by Steve Jobs and Apple, but rather the fact that the conference itself was meant to give partners a chance to showcase, and the invited guests were Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, who provided search services for the iPhone, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who also provided search services, and Edward Whitaker, CEO of AT&T, the largest telecommunications company in the United States, a telecommunications giant.

Hearing Ahn Jun Hyuk say this guest list, Kazuo Hirai's expression was a little strange.

Yahoo...... Google...... AT&T……

Jerry yang...... Eric Schmidt...... Edward Whitaker ......

The weight of each of the three multinational groups and the three CEOs alone is incredibly powerful, not to mention that the three of them are present together? Jobs, however, included Ahn Jun-hyuk and the Facebook and Jmap he represented in this scope.

This is important......

After a moment of silence, the refusal was swallowed back suddenly, and Kazuo Hirai said with a smile: "Then, I will first wish An Junqi victory here." ”

"Thank you!" Ahn Jun Hyuk bowed in return.

There is no refusal, it is a promise. He knew that what he said, Kazuo Hirai would most likely disagree, but it didn't matter. As long as the concept can leave an impression on the other person's mind, then, when you see the iPhone with your own eyes, everything is no longer a problem!

Everything, just look at half a month later!

……

……

In the United States from the end of January to the beginning of February, Alaska and parts of central China were still covered in snowflakes, but the cold ice could not freeze the noise of the media.

Internationally, in the period from the end of January to the beginning of February, a series of bad news came back to the United States. Garrisons far away in Iraq. Recently, the new ground-to-air strategy of the anti-US forces in Iraq has lost several helicopters and crews, which is even more than the total loss in the whole of 2006. The anti-American forces are getting stronger and stronger, and on the other hand. The Iraq War Alliance, however, is facing disintegration.

America's biggest ally in the Iraq war. United Kingdom. The current Prime Minister Tony Blair has been criticized within the Labour Party and attacked by the opposition parties precisely because of his pro-American foreign policy. The Times published an editorial at the end of January arguing that Blair would soon be unable to resist the pressure and would continue his political life by withdrawing troops to compromise with political opposition.

The crisis of the Iraq War Alliance in Britain has also affected other countries, and Denmark has long been dissatisfied with the government's participation in a war that has nothing to do with Denmark, and the voice of opposition is growing louder and louder, and some American newspapers have revealed that Denmark has begun consultations with Britain on the issue of withdrawing troops.

This kind of news is undoubtedly what the Democratic Party likes to see the most, and for a time various Democratic congressmen have come out and quarreled with the Republican Party in public opinion, and the Bush Administration's prestige and support rate have rapidly declined in the battle of support and opposition.

Although Jmap launched by Facebook, which is in the limelight, has found various problems in the operation process, because of timely technical support and a new attempt to build a map database in this crowdsourcing way, users and media have given it the greatest patience.

In the past half a month, its development has never stopped, and every day, Facebook users have joined it. After nearly a month of operation, Facebook slowly figured out the trick of the incentive system, constantly developed new virtual products into the entire virtual community, and integrated them into Jmap's point system, inducing users who were not originally active to gradually actively participate in the improvement of the map database.

On February 5th, Facebook's latest data showed that Jmap's guide dog users have expanded rapidly from 6,000 in two weeks of operation to 11,000 people, especially after Facebook revised the points system, the points of Jmap users were displayed in grades, and the level was set to "watchable materials", guide dog users have grown greatly.

Of course, ordinary users also have a way to obtain points, and the way they obtain points is to supervise and remind guide dog users to correct errors and omissions, as well as the two functions of building description and road condition information newly launched after the revision of the Jmap points system.

The Jmap operation team found that guide dog users had to measure the real geographic data on the spot, and because of the large number of urban buildings, roads and complex geographical environment, they did not have the extra energy to sort out the detailed building data, and even if they were sorted out, there were many mistakes.

Therefore, this function is separated and handed over to ordinary users to improve, and ordinary users can record the function of the next building in the form of text, such as shopping malls, buildings, office buildings or residential buildings...... The more detailed the profile, the more times it gets "thumbs up", the fewer times it prompts for revisions, the more points you get, and even allows users to take photos of the exterior and geography of public buildings and upload them to Facebook for linking.

In this way, if there are users who want to inquire about public buildings such as shopping malls and hotels, detailed information and photos can give them an intuitive understanding.

The building description function is loved by many users, no one does not like their place of residence, school, near the company, all the shops appear on one map, especially in large cities with complex environments, a clear map can save a lot of time.

Compared with this function, the development of traffic information is a bit sluggish, and even Jmap has quietly launched this function, mainly because Internet users do not have the conditions to update it in real time except for living near the road.

If it can't be updated in real time, the traffic information will not exist, and many media outlets see this feature as a failed attempt by Jmap.

But in any case, the crowdsourcing map concept pioneered by Jmap has been successful in a sense, as a columnist for Silicon Valley Technology praised in his analysis of Jmap: "...... If Ahn Joon-hyuk and his team can keep users enthusiastic about sharing, then Jmap's reach of Google.Maps will no longer be a dream, but a miracle like Wikipedia, a miracle of humanity...... Ahn Joon-hyuk's experiment is off to a good start, as he has identified a business opportunity hidden in Facebook's user base, even if it can't be converted into profit for the time being!"

There are also opponents who are not optimistic: "Jmap is very popular now, this is a fact that cannot be ignored, people like the kind of accomplishment of making maps of familiar places with their own hands, and then sharing them with others, but under the surface of such popularity, we can't hide the fact that Jmap does not have a stable mechanism to attract users to keep the fun they share, levels and virtual gift systems, and one day we will get bored, and when the enthusiasm of users begins to cool, Jmap will lose the soil on which it depends!"

Of course, more media will not forget that Ahn Jun-hyuk once said that he would demonstrate the true core value of Jmap at Apple's new product launch conference, coupled with the attraction of Apple's new products themselves, when the time approached February 10, at the special request of "tyrant" Jobs, the postponed MacWorld was finally held in San Francisco, outside the exhibition hall full of science and technology, journalists, participants, and audiences from all over the United States had gathered!

The weather was not good, and the rainy winter in the San Francisco Bay Area often shrouded the city in haze, and in the afternoon, some cold winds blew outside the pavilion, and just before the conference began, a drizzle floated down.

However, even if the rain beat on the cheeks, the wind blew the wet clothes, and the cold people shivered, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the reporters waiting outside the exhibition hall, holding long guns and short guns.

In addition to Apple's new product launch, which is the highlight of this conference, there are also other large technology companies that use this platform to show their products to the outside world, not to mention, before the conference, Apple announced the guest list to attend the new product launch conference, which is a luxurious lineup, enough to make reporters forget the cold and murder the film to their heart's content.

Therefore, when Ahn Junhyuk took the limousine provided by the hotel and got off outside the exhibition hall, he was greeted by dense flashing lights like summer thunderstorms and lightning.

As an idol star, Ahn Jun-hyuk has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, but he startled Zuckerberg and Kim Jung-wook, who accompanied him.

"Shit!" Zuckerberg, who was dazzled, hurriedly covered his face, "Are these people crazy?" However, although he complained, his tone was full of envy that could not be concealed. (To be continued......)
