Chapter 8 Ambition

PS: Yesterday I was sorting out the outline and information, so I didn't update it, after all, I delayed too much time this month, and many ideas are a little blurry in my brain, so I can't write it down if I don't sort it out, so forgive me!

Seeing Ahn Jun-hyuk raise his middle finger at him, and even raised his beer bottle to smash it, Zuckerberg quickly rolled over and crawled to the side, raising his hand in surrender: "OK! OK! Just kidding." ”

"What have you been learning all day? I don't see you using idioms correctly, but you understand these messes very clearly. ”

"Hehe, we're all men, you know......" Zuckerberg smirked.

Ahn Jun-hyuk sighed and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Not long after Ann gave birth, Zuckerberg leaned over again: "Hey, I'm serious, you really didn't name my godson?"

Ahn Junhyuk shook his head: "No, boys and girls don't know what to do, let's talk about it then......"

"How can you be a father like this?" Seeing his unhurried look, Zuckerberg said angrily: "This kind of thing should be prepared in advance, if it is me and Priscilla who want to have a child, we will definitely determine their names on the day of the inspection, the name is a symbol that distinguishes humans from animals, and it also represents whether they are important in your heart, understand?"

"Oh...... You and Priscilla are ready to have a baby, too?"

"Well, we haven't had this plan yet, and our relationship seems to be a little ......" Zuckerberg subconsciously scratched his head, and only came to his senses halfway through his words, exclaiming, "Hey, hey, man." Now I'm asking you, it's an angry godfather condemning an irresponsible biological father, okay?"

"Okay!" Ahn Joon-hyuk shrugged noncommittally, "So, may I ask the angry godfather, what do you think of the girl's name being Jingyeon and the boy's name Ahn Seung-taek?"

He said the two names in Chinese, so the "angry godfather" straightened his eyes and said for a long time. Fang Cai replied stubbornly: "It's still ...... Not bad...... It would be nice if there was an English name......"

β€œOlivia。 Mark。 ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What?"

"If it's a girl, the English name is Olivia. In Zuckerberg's blank gaze, Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled: "If it's a boy, it's called Mark." In the name of his godfather. Excuse me. How does the angry godfather feel?"

Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment, then suddenly kicked over: "Bastard." It turns out that you have thought about it, and you deliberately make fun of me, don't you?"

Ahn Jun Hyuk laughed and leaned sideways to get out of the way of his flying kick.

The mountain breeze was gentle, and a few laughter sounded on the rooftop under the dark night, and it was quiet again after a while. The villa with the lights emitted from each window, the sound of the shadows of the trees swaying faintly in the space surrounded by darkness, the window in the corner of the second floor, the window was open, and Jisoo, who was lighting the lamp and sitting under the window and reading a music book, heard the laughter above his head mixed with the rustle of the surrounding leaves, poked his head and looked up, naturally he couldn't see anything, smiled and shook his head.

Next to her, Xiujing, who was half next to the bed, hooked a small knitted sweater with a crochet needle, and sometimes laughed with Sachiko who was with her in the room, and the transparent glass let out the light, but blocked the sound.

This mountainside, the lights are warm, even the neon lights all over the city under the mountain can not cover these small, blocked by the mountains and forests, and appear faintly dim.

I don't know how long later, the two people on the rooftop finished drinking beer, and Zuckerberg, who felt that it was not enjoyable, urged Ahn Jun-hyuk to go downstairs and bring up a dozen. The cold of the beer bottle liquefies the steam that comes with the night wind, and a faint mist comes out from between the fingers of the two...... Hey, did you continue to pay attention to the news in the United States when you came back?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was also trembling slightly, nodded when he heard this.

"You know about Apple, right?"

"Where?"

Zuckerberg pouted: "Of course it's with the operator, and you don't bother to pay attention to other so-called prospect analysis or something." Before I came, a newspaper said that Steve Jobs was preparing to negotiate with several major operators, do you know about this?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't answer, and paused for a while before asking him, "What are you asking about this?"

In fact, this rhetorical question is already a tacit acquiescence, Zuckerberg fixed on his silhouette for a few moments, and then smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, of course, Facebook and Apple are too tightly tied now, I have to worry...... Someone analyzed in the newspaper that if the iPhone is launched, and optimistically estimates that it can form a trend and tap the potential of the new smartphone market, then the desktop application standard it promotes is likely to cause a devastating blow to operators, especially value-added services......

The reason why he sighed was because he knew that the so-called analysis in the newspapers, as well as the gossip that Steve Jobs was contacting operators for negotiations, all originated from the people in front of him who interviewed Time magazine about his views on the future of mobile applications and the significance of the birth of Jmap.

Asia is far away from the Americas, so it doesn't feel very felt, and in fact, in the days since Ahn Joon-hyuk returned to Japan, the journalism and IT industries have long since Time published his interview.

In that interview, Ahn Jun-hyuk bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of the current app market - too much reliance on operators!

He said that this model is "unhealthy" because they rely on user data provided by operators, and if operators are unable to provide data, the so-called mobile Internet industry, which seems to be thriving, will collapse immediately. Although this situation is extreme and has not developed to a similar extent, in fact, the bubble of the mobile Internet has begun to faintly appear.

CRBT, voicemail, various telephone and SMS subscription services, etc., in order to survive, are trying their best to make a profit, a service just launched, can't wait to start charging, some even do everything possible to integrate their products into the operator's package plan...... Everyone is losing their phone bills every day for no apparent reason, and mobile phone users are increasingly disgusted with those they simply don't need. On the other hand, Wall Street is reporting huge investment enthusiasm for the rapid explosion of the mobile Internet industry due to the growth of mobile phone users, and the index is growing every day, and the hot rate of return attracts more people to invest in it.

But this industry is built on the basis of "lies".

Once one day, user dissatisfaction erupts, then, the industry will immediately be doomed!

In fact. Long before Ahn Joon-hyuk. In some science and technology forums and interviews, some experts have mentioned the biggest problem in the development of the global mobile Internet industry, which has not attracted much attention before, Ahn Junhyuk's speech in an exclusive interview with Time. The reason for the heated discussion. It's because he doesn't just talk about theory. Moreover, a solution to this drawback is also given-

Use the advantages of desktop-class software to eliminate the strong demand for user numbers in current applications. Eliminate the dependency of mobile apps on carriers.

Of course, the relevant fields of American public opinion are not full of praise for the method he proposed, and where there is a debate, there must be opponents, not to mention those who oppose for the sake of opposition, and recently, an expert asked Ahn Joon-hyuk in the Washington Post his own question:

The current mobile Internet industry, of course, is restricted by operators, but it is countless SP service providers who are "kidnapped" by operators, they can develop rapidly, reaching a market size of 5 billion US dollars last year, although this behavior is overdrawing the trust limit of users, but the role of operators is indispensable.

In his commentary, the expert pointed out that Ahn Joon-hyuk's so-called significance of Jmap to liberate the shackles of the market is simply unrealistic.

This argument has been agreed by many people, and some newspapers have begun to spread the news that Apple is inviting major operators to negotiate, Zuckerberg is very worried that Jmap, which has finally clarified its future prospects, will encounter another setback.

He has to admit that since MacWorld, Jmap has brought drastic and positive changes to Facebook, and the two products are now both good and bad.

Silently taking a sip of beer and listening to Zuckerberg recount his doubts little by little, Ahn Jun-hyuk did not speak for a long time.

To this, Zuckerberg sighed bitterly: "Ann, you should at least tell me what you think, even if it's just to comfort me." ”

The "you" here are, of course, Ahn Jun-hyuk and Steve Jobs.

Before coming to Japan, when he explained his work, he also communicated with Phil Shiller, who is currently stationed at Facebook's headquarters, and listened to the other party's vague disclosure, Jobs did often meet with some operator executives recently, and Phil did not know what it was for, but it was obviously not for the contract sales of the iPhone in the future - that was Cook's job!

Listening to his somewhat depressed words, Ahn Junhyuk smiled and finally spoke: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I can't think of any reason to convince you." As he spoke, he put down the beer in his hand, leaned on the guardrail of the rooftop, supported his chin with one hand, and looked down at the night sky: "Those people are not wrong, at present, Jmap's slogan to free the shackles of the market is shouted too early." Although the current mobile Internet market is deformed, operators are indeed the biggest driving force for its rapid development, and those applications, precisely because of the kidnapping of operators, will quietly penetrate into users through various names and create huge profits!"

"And Jmap, it wants to play the advantages of desktop-level software, first of all, it must have a desktop-level operating platform, for now, it can be called a desktop-level operating system, only iPhone.OS, so, whether it can exert its power, first depends on whether the iPhone can be popular, in the present, this is an unanswered question. ”

Zuckerberg opened his mouth with a look of disappointment, but then put it away.

This is reasonable, Jmap was developed, it is provided for iPhone implantation and promotion, the two are originally one, naturally there is no iPhone has not been listed, Jmap will rule the market first.

But his doubts don't stop there.

"Well, for the time being, we can only hope that Apple's products will be favored by users as always. He shrugged his shoulders, let go of his worries, and said, "What I'm most worried about now is that the desktop-level competitive advantage created by Jmap can't compete with traditional applications, after all, they have the support of the operator, and they have the ...... of subscriber numbers."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ahn Jun-hyuk's "hehe" laughter.

"Uh, what are you laughing at?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's nothing. Ahn Joon-hyuk laughed for a while, and then saw Zuckerberg still looking suspicious, he thought for a moment and sat down in front of the other party, "Okay, let me reveal the idea of Jmap, Mark, do you know what the most important part of a product is?"

"Hmm...... User experience?"

"Yes, the user experience is very important, but it's not generalized enough. In my opinion, the most important part of a product is divided into two steps -- promotion and profit! At present, those mobile applications can create huge profits for the operator? Because they have the operator to promote, and they are also tied to the operator to make a profit, what can the operator do to quickly promote those applications? The answer you just said is because they have the user's number!

Ahn Junhyuk smiled, took an empty beer bottle, and put it in front of him: "This is a very important weight, with the user's number, the SP service provider can quickly and accurately deliver services according to the time of the user's registration number, the identity information used in the registration, the educational background, and even the work situation, the competitiveness you are worried about is nothing more than this, right?"

Zuckerberg, who was originally just vague and had a little concept, suddenly nodded when he heard Ahn Junhyuk's explanation: "Yes, Jmap doesn't have this advantage." ”

"Heh, yes, Jmap doesn't have this advantage, but Mark ......" Ahn Junhyuk flicked his fingers, and with a ding, the beer bottle shook and fell down, and the dark space on the rooftop was vast, and the sound of the beer bottle falling on the concrete sounded like thunder in Zuckerberg's heart, and at the same time it was shocking, and his words: "...... Jmap doesn't need a number at all!"

"Remember when I used to plan the Jmap function, I talked about 'location-based services'? Mark, you have to remember that Jmap is a map app, as long as there is a GPS chip integrated into the phone, we can grasp any real-time data of the user, where he has been in the past few days, where he is now...... Don't underestimate them, through this data, we can analyze a user's hobbies, interests, range of activities, and even the food he eats that day, the brand of the things he uses!"

In front of Zuckerberg's gradually widening eyes, Ahn Junhyuk pushed the beer bottle to the side with his fingers: "Let's imagine that if the desktop operating system of smartphones becomes a popular trend in the future, with 50 million or 100 million users using iPhones, then which of the 'location' information mastered by Jmap or the number information provided by the operator is more abundant and the cost is lower?"

"............" Zuckerberg opened his mouth wide, and the whole person was speechless.

"Mark, Jmap from the very beginning did not come up with the concept of a solution to overthrow the monopoly of the operators. Ahn Jun-hyuk's half-length hair, dancing wildly in front of his eyes in the wind: "Any market needs a standard, now, the standard of the mobile industry is the operator's number information, and in the future, the standard will belong to Jmap's 'location' information!"

The wind blew his voice a little messy, but every word was clearly transmitted into Zuckerberg's ears.

The young Jewish man was stunned, and after a long time, he burst out with a foul word: "Fuck...... You guys...... Are you reinventing entry-level services?" (to be continued......)
