Chapter Ninety-Six: Dazhang Asks for Monthly Tickets, Recommendations, and Rewards!
PS: Thank you for the reward of uyhgush, sailing against the current X, and in addition, continue to ask for a lot~
At this time, the pattern of the smartphone field is very similar to that of computers many years ago, but it is completely different.
In the 70s, when the computer was just commercialized, there was no such convenient window graphics scheme as it is now, but through the BASIC language compilation and execution, at that time there was no unified BASIC standard in the computer field, so its situation was more primitive and chaotic, each computer manufacturer had its own set of BASIC versions, IBM, Apple, including the first Microsoft to configure the BASIC language for microcomputers.
Due to the large number of versions, coupled with the different models developed by various manufacturers, they had to expand and develop according to the models, resulting in the fact that even if the programs compiled in the same BASIC were not compatible with each other, the maintenance of the programs was extremely difficult, and then, Bill Gates's Microsoft successfully implanted the BASIC language compiler into the computer using the Inter processor, and provided the matching decomposer, which was the best interpreter on the market at that time.
Because of such a complete set of solutions, to provide users with more convenience, many computer manufacturers began to use Microsoft's BASIC syntax and device integration, and therefore, Microsoft's BASIC language began to become the most widely used language for commercial microcomputers at that time, and then continued to develop new products, so that manufacturers had to follow and continue to adopt.
It was this cycle that made Microsoft's BASIC language almost the industry standard at that time!
Again, also because of this criterion. Eventually, IBM chose Microsoft to develop an operating system for its computers, and Microsoft DOS was born out of such an opportunity, and through the popularization of IBM computers, its operating system became the standard operating system for computers.
The reason why the pattern is similar is that the smartphone field, like the computer in the 70s, has not yet seen a unified standard. Whether it's Symbian or BlackBerry, they're still the same keyboard phone, trying to show more on a fixed-sized screen. But actually. The development of Symbian and BlackBerry has reached its zenith, and it is basically impossible for them to surpass each other anymore as the only standard in the industry.
This monopoly is unstable, and the reason why it is different is different. It is also because of this precarious monopoly. None of the criteria emerge. The future of smartphones is uncertain.
Once, Apple lost to Microsoft, and Jobs watched his hard work gradually fall. No one can better understand how powerful the establishment of a "standard" is for terminal electronic equipment!
Microsoft ruled the IT industry for 20 years because it set its own PC standards, and again, what Jobs wanted to do was to make Apple the second Microsoft!
iPhone.OS embodies all his expectations, he got rid of the traditional keyboard and freed up the screen, just to overturn Symbian and BlackBerry and set a standard for mobile devices!
Ahn Jun-hyuk speculated that Apple's acquisition of Google must be after Apple contacts Android engineers, and only then will Jobs understand the design concept of Android, the threat of Android to iPhone.OS, and the threat to his free-screen design.
More importantly, only when the standard is born, third-party software developers will apply this standard to develop software and games, provide content output, and only a rich selection of entertainment and applications can attract more users to consume!
That's where computers and mobile devices come together – content is king!
Standards are the cornerstone, content is the backbone, if the cornerstone is shared, then how can we use content to rule the market?
It was with a clear understanding of these that Jobs would immediately set out to crack down on Google's Android after he figured it out.
I was thinking about the computer landscape of more than 20 years ago, the current smartphone landscape, the path I chose for J.H to combine content production and terminal equipment, and the contact I had with Kazuo Hirai...... Many thoughts came to mind, and a thread became clearer and clearer, and more and more clearly ran through these thoughts!
The sun is warm, and you can overlook almost the entire city scenery by the window, the blue sea surface of the sky in the distance, the white clouds floating in the sky where the horizon is located, the sky is no longer a single color, the lines of the ocean waves below have also wrinkled the water surface, in the middle of the sky and the water, the shadow of the ship comes to this side, and also goes into the distance, and the seabirds fly.
Everything is going on silently, and here, only the soft music of the restaurant is whispering.
After gobbling up a plate of pasta, Zuckerberg straightened his stomach and leaned back comfortably in his chair, enjoying the exotic scenery outside the window and enjoying the comfort of a full meal.
"Ann, where are you taking me to play at night?" Zuckerberg, who had rested for a while and felt that his strength had come back, asked Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was contemplating on the other side, with great interest, "I've wanted to come to Japan for a long time, Mount Fuji, Hokkaido, oh, I heard that there is a place with many hot springs, called ...... Called......"
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who came back from his contemplation, smiled and said, "Izu?"
"Yes, yes, Izu! Ha Luha, this kind of weather should be comfortable in the hot springs, I have watched a lot of Japanese movies, and I have long wanted to try the life of soaking in the hot springs, drinking sake and eating radishes! By the way, I heard that ......" His body leaned over a little, squeezed his eyebrows, and his expression was ambiguous: "I heard that there are mixed baths for men and women?"
“…… I felt like I needed to talk to Priscilla......"
"Fuck!" Zuckerberg raised a middle finger in disdain, "You're ruthless enough, when you have a lover in the future, don't blame me for not being a friend enough." ”
Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't take his threat to heart at all, pushed away the food that had not been touched at all in front of him, and stood up with the suit buttoned, "Let's go back after eating!"
"Where are you going?"
"Hotel rooms, of course. ”
"Hey!" Zuckerberg complained, "didn't you listen to me? I can't wait to get out of the hotel to play, I stay in the company every day in Palo Alto, I can't go anywhere, I finally go abroad, I don't want to stay in the hotel all the time to get moldy. ”
"I didn't say you should stay in the hotel. ”
Ahn Jun Hyuk smiled, "Go back and pack your things and we'll go." ”
"Oh yes!" Zuckerberg, who was still a big boy, cheered, and asked repeatedly, "Where are we going? Nearby Mt. Fuji is still only in Tokyo? Time is running out today, Hokkaido and Izu will definitely not be able to go, let me guess." Let me guess...... Yasukuni Shrine? No, no, no. I know that Koreans and Chinese especially hate the Yasukuni Shrine of the Japanese, and you will definitely not take me there. ”
Glancing at him in surprise, An Junhyuk said strangely: "You actually know about this matter?"
"Ha, that's underestimating me, man!" Zuckerberg smiled and put his arm on his shoulder. "My lover is Chinese. My best partner is Korean. How could I not know about this kind of thing...... Uh, while I don't understand what's going on, maybe you should talk to me?"
"That's a long story. There is no need to talk about it now. Laughing, Ahn Joon-hyuk shook his head, in fact, if you want to describe it, it can be explained by a sentence of "like Jews hate Nazis", but there is no need to talk about this kind of scar-revealing thing, "Yes, Mark, I will take you to have a good time, but not Tokyo." ”
"Oh, oh, are you going to take me to your country? South Korea, I've wanted to go to Korea for a long time, the beautiful Jeju Island, and the river, which is still said to be covered in snow and ice...... Gangwon-do, I ......"
"Oh, sorry Mark, it's not South Korea either. ”
“……”
"Hurry up and pack up, my friend, we're going back to San Francisco soon, back to lovely Palo Alto...... Aren't you happy with that expression?"
There was a brief silence, and after a while, a mournful howl sounded at the entrance of the quiet restaurant: "Ssssshit! I've just arrived in Japan, I've just arrived in Japan!!"
……
……
“…… Today, J.H Entertainment officially issued an official announcement, saying that it has reached a consensus with InterPark management on the acquisition intention of 30% of Gmarket's shares, and the two sides will start negotiations at a specific time, according to reliable sources, J.H Entertainment currently holds 17% of Gmarket's shares, and if the negotiations go well, J.H Entertainment will complete its relative control of Gmarket during the one-month offer period...... Since it is a cash payment method, the relevant experts analyzed that InterPark has no reason to refuse......"
Professor Jang He-jae of LG Economic Research Institute wrote an article on J.H Entertainment's acquisition of Gmarket today, pointing out that according to the current proportion of outstanding shares issued by Gmarket, once the transaction is completed, J.H Entertainment will become the largest shareholder of Gmarket at the same time, Gmarket will also face forced delisting due to the excessive proportion of shares held by a single shareholder. J.H Entertainment is a private company, and the value of Gmarket will shrink significantly after the delisting, and small and medium-sized investors who hold Gmarket shares now should be wary of ......"
“…… In a telephone interview with reporters, today's network, financial and other relevant regulatory agencies said that J.H Entertainment's acquisition of Gmarket has already passed the review, and J.H Entertainment and Gmarket have not violated the relevant regulations of the 'same industry'...... The person in charge of the relevant institution stressed that shareholders and investors do not need to have too much panic attitude towards the acquisition of J.H Entertainment, and the securities regulatory department, the Ministry of Culture and Light, and the Ministry of Industry and Resources have clearly stipulated that after restricting J.H Entertainment's acquisition of Gmarket, it is not allowed to adjust its business structure, advertising and maintenance costs for at least half a year, and Gmarket will still protect the interests of customers and users......"
J.H Entertainment also said later that in compliance with the restrictions of relevant institutions, J.H Entertainment's acquisition of Gmarket is to enrich its own business and expand the industrial chain, and will maintain all the original appearance for the time being, even if it changes, it will be extremely cautious, and strive to make Gmarket better, provide better services for merchant customers and users, and create a more fair online trading platform......"
In the bright-filled room, the curtains flickered slightly in the daylight, Taeyeon went downstairs to get takeout, and when she returned to the room, Yoona was sitting on the floor with a remote control in her living room and watching the TV news with her head up.
The girl kept changing channels, and she would only stop when J.H. appeared in the news. Listen with one hand on your cheek and with interest.
In the past few days since Ahn Junhyuk left, she was like this when she had a little free time, of course she didn't understand what the things reported in the news meant and what they meant, she was just bored and wanted to hear about him - but the news from Japan had not yet arrived, and J.H was no longer his host here, and Ahn Junhyuk's name was rarely mentioned in the news.
Taeyeon was not surprised, and after coming in with a lunch box, she beckoned Yoona: "Don't look at it." Go to the dishes and chopsticks. After lunch, we have to go to the company!"
"Oh!" Yuna reluctantly moved into the kitchen, and when she came out again, the news had already passed.
"Sister, really, why don't you wait for me to finish reading it!"
"Why don't you even eat!" Taeyeon angrily knocked her chopsticks on the head of the complaining Yuna. The girl frowned and exclaimed. She laughed: "Your mouth is so pouting that you can hang an oil bottle." If you think about OPPA so much, why don't you make trouble when you go to Japan?"
"People are girls, so they have to be reserved. ”
Yuna held her face and made a shy. Then he was hit with chopsticks.
"Yay, you big-headed ghost, hurry up and eat!"
"Ah, Kim Taeyeon, if you hit me on the head again, I'll turn my face with you!" Yoona's eyes widened, trying to make herself look fierce, but it was completely deterrent to Taeyeon, Taeyeon smiled and picked up a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into her mouth, and the girl's protest was suddenly drowned out by the fragrant oil.
The pretty girls laughed and started eating.
It's still snowing in Gangwon Province, but it's already spring in Seoul after the cold for a while, and at noon, the temperature is so warm that people are drowsy, and even the streets outside look much colder. There are only two people in the spacious room, and there was a nanny two days ago, but in the morning, Ahn Junhyuk called and arranged for the nanny to take a plane to Japan, supposedly to take care of Lin Xiujing.
Thinking of this, Taeyeon was a little worried: "Yoona, why did OPPA call the nanny to Japan, did something happen to Sister Xiujing?"
"I don't know what to say, oppa was in a hurry, and he didn't make it clear. Yun'er picked out the rice grains in the lunch box, and her mood was a little low. No matter how unconvinced Lin Xiujing is, she has to admit that Lin Xiujing is very good to her, just like her own sister, she lives in this house as a girl, as his official girlfriend, Lin Xiujing has never said anything, Yun'er asked herself if she was in Lin Xiujing's position, I am afraid she would not be so tolerant.
Therefore, although she is a de facto rival in love, Yuna's feelings for Lin Xiujing have always been complicated, with rejection and resistance, but also respect and admiration.
Thinking about the call she received in the morning, Yuna picked up the food for a while, but she couldn't help but worry, and then heard Taeyeon on the other side ask, "Sister Xiujing is seven months pregnant, right?"
Yuna calculated and nodded: "Well, it's been 30 weeks." ”
"Due date ......"
"40 weeks. Yuna remembers these very well, "The child will be born in April." ”
Taeyeon's eyes lit up, and she comforted: "Don't worry, although the oppa call was in a hurry, it definitely wasn't a big deal, it should be a problem at work, so he couldn't take care of Sister Xiujing and Sister Jisoo, but ......" She tilted her head and expressed a little longing: "It's been 40 weeks, Sister Xiujing probably can't go back to South Korea to give birth......, right?" At that time, the cherry blossoms in Japan must have been in full bloom......"
In her murmuring tone, Yuna's attention began to think of that image. She had never seen the cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountains, but it didn't hinder her imagination, and TV and manga provided a lot of material.
Imagine a beautiful child born in the scent of a beautiful time in April in Japan, when the spring breeze is dark, when thousands of trees bloom, when a sea of pink blooms on both sides of Tokyo's streets, when the hair and skirt are lifted, and when the petals of countless cherry blossoms are fluttering and falling in the wind like snow.
Remembering that two days ago, Sister Jisoo called her to complain that Sister Xiujing always wanted to have a girl, which hurt her dream of having a nephew, and almost became a heresy, Yuna secretly laughed.
In another 4 months, she will be 17 years old, 18 years old, and she is already an adult, so she can ...... It's like that brochure...... If Sister Jisoo wants a nephew, maybe......
Something embarrassing appeared in the little brain, and Yun'er immediately spat herself: I am really not reserved!
But the heart in the chest was beating happily, and I couldn't hold back the anticipation and longing that I couldn't suppress. Popping out like a bunny, it hit its chest, and the hot sensation radiated to his cheeks.
In the warm light, the girl's face was red.
Taeyeon, who was sitting opposite, didn't notice this scene, and after looking forward to it for a while, she continued to eat lunch, and there were still many exercises in the afternoon, and when she thought of practice, she remembered one more thing: "That's right." Yoona. ”
"Huh?" the illusion faded. Yoona hurriedly agreed, lowering her head to prevent Taeyeon from seeing her panic.
Luckily, Taeyeon didn't pay much attention, and the girl just frowned, probably thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Have you felt ...... lately?" The company's attitude towards us is a bit weird?"
"Uh...... No!" Yuna thought for a moment. Some are not so embarrassed. Lately, her mind has been full of strange things, and her brain is full, so she has no time to pay attention to other things.
Ignorance of her. Taeyeon sighed and pondered for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while. Maybe it's because she's too sensitive, but when she practiced recently, she always felt that the dance and vocal teachers deliberately arranged for some of them to work as a team, while others were vaguely excluded.
She has only encountered this feeling once, and it was when she first joined the team, and the result of the feeling was another reorganization of the team!
…… Perhaps, it is going to be restructured again?
Thinking like this, the mood is a little low, after the last reorganization, as the practice arranged by the company becomes more and more intense, the 11 of them spend more and more time together, of course, it is impossible for everyone to become good friends, but there are also acquaintances with each other, for example, Yuna and Stella have an excellent relationship.
Taeyeon is not worried about herself, nor is she worried about Yoona, once when she was playing with J.H, Kwon Bo-geun once told her that with Ahn Jun-hyuk's relationship, she and Yoona didn't have to worry about SM not letting them debut. Maybe Kwon Bo-geun's idea is too utilitarian, but at the age of 18, Taeyeon gradually understands a lot of truths that he couldn't think of before, Kwon Bo-geun said that whether she and Yoon-a want to or not, now that Ahn Joon-hyuk is leading J.H to expand rapidly, she and Yoon-a, who have a personal friendship with Ahn Jun-hyuk, will definitely become the focus of SM's high-level management.
What their future holds is no longer personal, but a private link between the two companies.
Kwon Bo-geun carefully analyzed the complex relationship between J.H and SM that they compete with each other and cooperate with each other, and she knows what Kwon Bo-geun is special about and explains to her that unlike Yoon-a who often stays by Ahn Jun-hyuk's side, she is actually far away from Ahn Jun-hyuk, and it is impossible to communicate at any time, Kwon Bo-geun is probably afraid that she will inadvertently become a tool for SM to fight J.H!
These words are far away, and Taeyeon is worried that this restructuring may eliminate many people again.
She had noticed that Stella had been getting worse and worse off with the team's practice lately, and considering the relationship between Yuna and Stella, she was a little difficult to talk about.
…… Forget it, don't think about it......
Shaking her head, in the face of Yoona's inquiring gaze, Taeyeon smiled, "It's nothing, probably because I thought too much...... By the way, have you heard the rumors among today's trainees? ”
"What rumors?" Yuna was curious.
"I heard that the company's predecessor Li Yayumi recommended a trainee to the company, and the senior personally recommended it to the president and director Li Xiuman. ”
Yuna knows Li Yayumi, of course, not because of the other party's fame, but because the other party once collaborated with her oppa on an issue of "Ten Thousand Yuan of Happiness", but this does not prevent her from knowing that a senior who has become famous, and personally asked the president and director to recommend the weight of a trainee.
"Wow, this trainee must be a stinky fart?"
“…… You're a girl......"
"Hehe, let's talk about playing in private, sister, what's the name of that trainee?"
"Uh, you don't laugh!" Taeyeon pursed the corners of her mouth, trying not to look weird, "she called...... After saying that, she was ready to give her a chopstick when Ruo Yun'er laughed.
But the strange thing is that under her gaze, Yun'er was stunned when she heard this name, and looked at her blankly as if she had seen a ghost.
…… Is there something I don't understand about the name?
Taeyeon thought blankly, of course she couldn't guess, but the moment the name fell into the ear of the girl opposite, a blurry, jumpy, flashing image of snowflakes and skipping frames appeared in the girl's mind.
In the picture, there is a sea of pink extending out of the darkness, countless people shouting deafening slogans, countless people are calling her and their names!
In the past few times, in nightmarish dreams, I have heard countless times, and the girl has memorized the name by heart.
Jessica – Jung so-yeon, Tiffany – Wong Mi-young...... And, Sunny-
- Lee Soon-gyu!
……
……
At night, a plane bound for San Francisco took off from Narita Airport.
Zuckerberg, who had just come to Japan for a day and hadn't seen anything to play, was depressed and was taken on a plane by Ahn Jun-hyuk to return to San Francisco, where he had been absent for less than 48 hours......
"I said, what's wrong with you, you're rushing back to the United States in a hurry? Do you know that I haven't rested well, and I haven't ......adjusted to the jet lag yet."
Zuckerberg persistently asked Ahn Junhyuk what he was crazy about, Ahn Junhyuk, who unbuckled his seat belt after takeoff, was facing a notebook, writing and drawing on it, full of strange symbols and fonts that outsiders couldn't understand, and when he heard his complaints, Ahn Junhyuk didn't raise his head: "Isn't that great? ”
“…… I'd rather not adjust, you bastard!
The frantic Zuckerberg was grabbing Ahn Junhyuk's collar, and he had been paying attention to a flight attendant here from a distance, and hurriedly trotted over, squatting down and speaking softly, but his expression resolutely reminded: "This gentleman, please let go of your hand and keep quiet, don't disturb other passengers, otherwise I will report it to the captain, please come and deal with it!"
The crew of the passenger plane has air security personnel, and when they come to deal with it, I am afraid that there will not be such a gentle voice, Zuckerberg was stunned, and then let go of his hand stupidly.
Unexpectedly, the stewardess still didn't give up, turned to Ahn Junhyuk and asked, "Mr. Ahn Junhyuk, has this gentleman caused you any trouble?"
Zuckerberg's eyes widened, "Jesus.Christ! You know? That's great, miss, we're friends, I was just joking with him...... Joon-hyuk, isn't that right?"
The flight attendant didn't pay attention to him, just looked at Ahn Junhyuk, under the inquiring and expectant gaze of the two, Ahn Junhyuk put the pen cap in his hand against his chin, and looked at Zuckerberg with a smile on his face: "Troubled......"
That look was very bad, Zuckerberg hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't be too inhuman, I warn you......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ahn Junhyuk shrug his shoulders to the flight attendant: "You see, he is threatening me." ”
"Shit, can you still be good friends? It's a big deal if I'll shut up and stop arguing with you, okay?"
"If you just said that?"
Zuckerberg almost squirted out a mouthful of hot blood, but looking at the flight attendant's obvious partiality attitude, he had no choice but to shut up, and then he saw that this flight attendant who did not pretend to him, seeing that the matter was dealt with, had a faint flush on her little face, and asked An Junhyuk in a low voice: "Mr. An, may I ask...... Can you sign for me?"
"No problem!" Ahn Junhyuk readily agreed, "It's okay to take a group photo, it can be counted as Xie Lu's thanks for your fair handling." ”
…… Where's the fairness?
Zuckerberg watched them happily and take a photo, and then the flight attendant left happily, and immediately despaired of this society, and his heart was dark, only a light shone down, and he knelt in the light and drew circles......
"Don't be so envious, jealous and hateful, one day, you will be like me. ”
“…………”
"Why don't you speak?"
"Didn't you tell me to shut up?"
"So obedient, do you want to reward you with a candy to eat?"
"Get out!"
After the joke, Zuckerberg still couldn't hold back his doubts after all, and didn't ask again: "Ann, why do you want to take me back to the United States in a hurry?"
Still hanging his head and writing in his notebook, Ahn Junhyuk didn't look up, and after a while, he replied:
"Zach, here's our chance......" (To be continued......)
