"13:56am: Macworld is ready to enter, in line ......"

"14:01am: A lot of people, looking back, it seems that the line is out of sight, at least 3 or 4,000 people, it's terrible. ”

"14:06am: Wow, I saw Ahn Joon-hyuk! He just got out of the car, with Kim Jung-wook, CEO of J.H Network, and Zuckerberg from Facebook, but unfortunately we couldn't get by, they were on the VIP line...... Damn!"

Far away on the other side of the world, in South Korea, which has just entered the middle of the night, there are many people sitting in front of the computer, refreshing over and over again the simple "Macworld text live room" in the special pages specially opened by several major portals.

Apple's fans are all over the world, and before the one-month postponement of Macworld, Apple issued an official message, admitting that the new product will be released as scheduled at the conference, and even used words that will make users "crazy" and "unbelievable" in the promotion, emphasizing the importance of the new product at the conference.

It's been almost 3 years since the last time a similar word was used, and although Apple has been using similar phrases every time it promotes a new product, this year's Macworld still makes Apple fans notice something unusual, for example, after Steve Jobs released the launch date and location of Macworld from Apple's official website, he was designated as the conference venue, and the site layout of the Apple.Store in San Francisco has been in secret, except for the workers who have signed the agreement. No outsiders are allowed to approach at all.

According to media reports, even the Apple.Store staff did not know what the workers were doing.

Such a solemn event obviously aroused the curiosity of Apple fans, and the South Korean side, the reason for the grand report is because in the guest list of this Macworld announced by Apple, An Junhe Huo Ran and Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, Google Eric, AT&T Edward and other Internet, electronics industry, telecommunications industry bigwigs are alongside, and his title in the guest list is Facebook CEO, Jmap design director.

Such news has almost made the Korean entertainment industry almost crazy, and countless people simply like Ahn Jun Hyuk. Or a fan of both. Feverishly chasing any news about Macworld, the Internet industry and the consumer electronics industry are also extremely concerned about this conference, and with attention there are customers, and major portals have arranged for reporters to rush to San Francisco in advance. In order to be able to guarantee access to the venue. A lot of people even started queuing the day before.

Among those people is Ahn Jun-hyuk's fan station representative.

Although he is the manager with the highest authority in the small building. However, Kim Youzhen, who is still a high school student and has been busy tutoring recently, has no way to go to the United States. can only continue to refresh the "text live broadcast room" like everyone else, watching the front line deliver live news.

Compared to this, it is much more convenient in the United States, where you can enjoy live streaming.

"As you can see, this Macworld is very lively, the crowd in line can no longer even see the tail of the camera, preliminary statistics, there are at least 3,000 people at the scene...... In the distance, Facebook CEO Ahn Jun-hyuk, as well as Facebook founder Zuckerberg and J.H Network CEO have arrived, Facebook is currently the second largest social networking site in the United States, and the latest news shows that the site has 30 million users, second only to Myspace. CEO Ahn Joon-hyuk led a partnership between Facebook and Apple last month, and the mapping product Jmap developed by the two parties is the most popular 'crowdsourced map' on the Internet...... Ah, audience friends, please look at the VIP line, Yahoo CEO Yang Zhiyuan, Intel CEO Paul O'Tellane also arrived, followed by the Jobs family, they are greeting and chatting...... God, if you add Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google who seems to be late, then that small place will stand with the most luxurious lineup in the global electronics industry!"

"Are they all ready to support Apple's 'crazy' and 'incredible' new products?

The front-line reporter is obviously also an Apple fan, and in an excited mood, he threw up the words of praise one by one, but the audience in front of the TV was not disgusted, they looked at the camera lens, the endless queue, and the focus on the close-up, several people in the Internet industry, electronics, and telecommunications industry standing in the VIP line, and their hearts were also a little agitated for a while.

In the past few years, although Macworld has been held every year, such a heavyweight guest lineup seems to have been lost for a long time, so long that it seems to have been thrown into the corner of memory. But when I picked it up at this time, people found that they had not forgotten the shock of that year.

For example, Macintosh, for example, iPod!

Could it be that the new Apple product that Steve Jobs is about to launch will be as groundbreaking as the Macintosh and the iPod? Could it be that today we will once again see the birth of a new history?

Time is moving forward without stopping, and the crowd on the TV screen is also moving forward in this kind of anticipation.

At about 14:30, the Apple.Store began to close, and half an hour later, Apple, which was finally busy with all the preparations, arranged for the staff to remove the isolation belt, and the entire huge exhibition hall suddenly became chaotic, and countless people kept crowding the elevator in order to get a good position, and a group of people turned over on their backs.

Many people even stepped on the VIP line, if it weren't for the support of people who Apple.Store arranged in advance, Ahn Junhyuk, Yang Zhiyuan, Ou Dening and others would probably be crowded.

Finally squeezing into the elevator, listening to the noise that was still going on over there, Zuckerberg patted his chest and felt palpitations, "These people are crazy." However, the envy on his face was even stronger, "Ann, do you think our developer conference this summer will have such a grand occasion?"

Hearing his inquiry, Ahn Joon-hyuk shrugged: "Of course it can't be. ”

"Hey. Can't you say something nice to comfort me?" Zuckerberg exclaimed dissatisfied.

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but I'm sure in a few years' time, Facebook will be in the same situation. Patting him on the shoulder, Ahn Junhyuk smiled, and then at the moment when he showed a longing expression, he poured cold water on it again: "So, in the past few years that have not been reached, you still don't want to be delusional." ”

“…… Fuck.you！”

"Thank you for your favor, but I like women. Shot back. Don't wait for Zuckerberg to protest again. Ahn Joon-hyuk, who had already arrived at the venue, smiled and walked briskly towards Steve Jobs, who greeted him.

"Hey, Ann, you didn't have any trouble down there, did you? However, the enthusiasm of users exceeded expectations. Look at. What a stage this is for you...... Haha Come, I'll introduce you to me, this is my wife......"

Zuckerberg, who watched Ahn Jun-hyuk being dragged away by Jobs and had nowhere to vent, had no choice but to look at Kim Jung-wook complainingly: "Hey, man, was that guy so hateful when he was in South Korea?"

Kim Jung-wook was expressionless.

Ahn Jun-hyuk was taken away by Jobs, and came back about ten minutes later, when the entire huge venue, the people who poured in had already found their own places, staggered and sat down, the bright lights of the venue were still on, and the whole space was full of people's voices.

When Ahn Jun-hyuk was looking for a seat, he actually heard someone shouting his name in the distance, but there were too many people, and he couldn't tell where the shouting person was, plus the conference was about to start, and Zuckerberg, who saw him not far away, had already stood up and waved, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't look any further, and walked over quickly.

"Where were you dragged by Jobs?"

When Ahn Jun-hyuk arrived, Zuckerberg, who had already left his depression behind, hurriedly asked curiously.

"Just introduced me to a few people. Ahn Junhyuk's expression was calm, but in fact, what Jobs took him to know may be as simple as "a few people", in addition to Phil Schiller, who has long been in contact with Apple, Cook, Oppenheimer and others also introduced each other, followed by the CEO and president of Intel, executives from Yahoo and Google, and representatives of Samsung.

These people, Ahn Junhyuk is not all without contact, such as Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, Yahoo offered more than $1 billion to buy Facebook last year, and it seemed that it was about to succeed, but it fell short because of Ahn Junhyuk's speech. Although the two sides talked and laughed when they were introduced by Jobs, the moment they learned his name, Yang Zhiyuan's expression stiffened instantly, and he still couldn't escape Ahn Junhyuk's eyes.

Google's Eric Schmidt performed similarly, Google was rumored to be interested in Facebook a few years ago, but before they could make a move, Facebook gave them a solid stick - in the past month, Jmap seems to have challenged the competitiveness of Google Maps, and users can configure and improve the map themselves, which is obviously more popular with users.

Recently, there have been media articles analyzing that if Google does not make major changes, then, its map products will fail in front of Jmap, which involves one of the most important problems: Google Maps, launched in 2005, does not occupy a decisive position in the same market like Google's search products, it is still very young, and it has not yet formed a huge advantage in technology accumulation and user experience.

For the digital map market, Jmap is certainly a newcomer, and Google Maps is actually just as fresh!

What's more, Ahn Junhyuk's single-handedly led Jmap snatched Apple from the Google Maps cooperation sequence, if it weren't for the deep city government, Ahn Junhyuk felt that Eric Schmidt might hate himself to bite.

However, when he met with the Samsung representative, Ahn Jun-hyuk was a little surprised.

That person he knew, or rather, many people in the whole of Korea had heard of that person's name: Lee Jae-yong!

South Korea's chaebol and the media can't deny that Lee Jae-yong is the most capable of the third generation of chaebol successors, although he has not independently presided over a business, and unlike his father, he began to work on Samsung's reform and expansion when he was young, but compared with other third generations, his performance has been above people's expectations. It's a pity that in view of the time, the two didn't communicate much, just greeted each other.

Thinking about the meaning of Lee Jae-yong's appearance in Apple, Ahn Jun-hyuk frowned slightly, but then put down the thought. Because, the convention has begun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to MacWorld.2007......" The lights of the venue gradually dimmed, only the rostrum, the huge TV wall, the Apple logo emerged, and the stereo played the song of James Brown, the godfather of American soul music, who passed away last year.

Ahn Jun-hyuk put aside those thoughts and looked at the stage. Zuckerberg, who was about to continue to ask. I also shut my mouth, and in the huge venue, the noisy voices slowly faded away.

When the music stopped abruptly, Jobs had snow-white hair and beard. Amid people's anticipation and applause, he walked onto the press stage. When the opening statement is spoken. Ahn Joon-hyuk's eyes brightly lit up as he looked there.

The beginning of history will soon be revealed......

……

……

And it's not just people in the venue who are looking forward to it, right now. In front of many televisions and computers, more people are paying attention to this conference.

South Korea, Seoul is snowing again, the ice and snow that stretches from Gangwon Province to here, sparsely falling and flying outside the window, the cold wind is blowing, and in the warm room, Yoona and Taeyeon are huddled on a bed, holding a laptop, constantly refreshing the "text live room", watching the news from the front line of Anjia Xiaozhu.

In Japan, Lin Xiujing and Jisoo, who are still living in the hospital, also watched the live broadcast through the device.

More and more places are paying close attention to this is just a small dot on the map, Manhattan, Sony's American headquarters building, Kazuo Hirai, who hurriedly ended a department meeting, also turned on the TV, and with him, there was also an executive from the Sony Ericsson mobile phone sales department that he specially invited.

Looking at the TV turned on, Steve Jobs opened the introduction: "A year ago, we just announced that we were moving to the Intel camp, but we had a very perfect heart transplant...... Over the past year, we've done everything we can to get the most out of every Macintosh, and we've been able to do ......"

The executive looked back at Kazuo Hirai, with a faint smile with a slight impatience: "Hirai-kun, are you asking me to come just so that I can see this?"

"Nope. Kazuo Hirai shook his head, "Please wait a little longer until its new product appears!"

“…… Okay! I hope I haven't wasted my time!" the executive sighed, of course he knew the purpose of Kazuo Hirai asking him to come and watch MacWorld.2007, and the media had been reporting half a month ago that Apple's new product was a mobile phone.

But in his eyes, he is dismissive of Apple's strategy, yes, Apple is very powerful, it has an iPod, it has Macintosh, and the Apple.TV that was released last year, but has not been launched this year, but if you talk about mobile phones......

Apple is a complete layman!

This industry is not so simple, it is not that revolution can be revolutionary, Apple's "crazy", "unbelievable" and other words, he does not believe it at all, if it were not for the rapid rise of Kazuo Hirai in the group, he would have left long ago.

Kazuo Hirai apparently understood this, smiled apologetically, and then stared at the TV screen.

The other party didn't know what to say, he didn't believe in Apple, nor Steve Jobs, but Ahn Junhyuk!

…… Hopefully, you won't let me down......

muttered, this wait, is half an hour.

In half an hour, Jobs focused on reviewing the sales of Apple's player products in the past year, as well as defending the outside world's doubts about Apple's profitability, and by the way, he reintroduced the Apple.TV released last year and announced its launch time.

Just when the executive was getting more and more impatient, on the TV, Jobs finally ended the opening, and after a short pause, he took a sip of water, played with the remote control of the video wall in the light, and slowly paced to the center of the press deck, the center of everyone's sight:

"I've been looking forward to this day for 2 years and 6 months......"

The audience immediately burst into cheers and applause from some Apple fans.

"Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along and then, changes everything. He looked around the audience, "However, Apple used to ...... Perhaps it should be said that it is lucky enough to be involved in a revolutionary product in your lifetime. And Apple is very fortunate to be able to introduce a few of these products to you in the past. ”

The crowd in the venue was quiet, the crowd in front of the TV was quiet, and in other countries, everyone quietly watched the text of the live broadcast, and they saw Jobs looking back, telling a solemn paragraph: "In 1984, we launched the Macintosh computer, which changed not only Apple, but the entire computer industry. ”

That peace was suddenly broken, and this glory belonging to Apple naturally would not be forgotten, and there was warm applause and whistles from the audience.

Jobs smiled, and that was the greatest honor and pride of his life, but it was not the focus of today, and he continued: "In 2001, we released the first iPod......" He paused to another round of applause, "It not only changed the way we listen to music, but it also changed the entire music industry." ”

"And yet, today!"

He stood in front of the video wall, looked at the people watching him, and raised three fingers: "Today, we will release three such products!"

When the words fell, everyone was stunned in disbelief for a moment. (To be continued......)
