Cupertino, in the southern part of California's San Francisco Bay Area, is one of the core cities of Silicon Valley, a small city of less than 60,000 people that is home to some of the biggest names in IT giants such as Symantec, Mysqlab, and Zened, and of course, Apple Inc., which is best known for changing the lives of countless people with its epoch-making digital products such as iPod, iPhone, and MA Ok.

In the past few months, their new iPod-Nano 4th generation, iPod Touh 2nd generation, newly designed MA Wave OK and MA Wave OK-Pro, and iPhone-3G have all been very successful, earning the company countless amounts of money and making them one of the most profitable IT companies in the world.

However, now, in Apple's headquarters, the three founders of the company, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ro Wayne, as well as Vice President Tim Cook, Vice President of Industrial Design, Jonathan Yves and others all have solemn faces and do not have the slightest joy of a bumper harvest.

"Alright, let's talk about your opinions!" Jobs was the first to recover from silence, he looked at his VP of Industrial Design, "Jonathan, what do you think is the difference between this product and the iPad we are designing?"

"I have to admit that it is more advanced than the product we are developing now, and it is more in line with the needs of consumers! In terms of function and design, it is much better than the product we plan to achieve! Steve, I think we are in big trouble!" Jonathan Yves was reluctant to put down the sample in his hand, this thing was so much that he couldn't put it down, it was exactly the same as his ideal product.

"Can we crack his design and use it in our products? If it doesn't take long, I don't think we will be able to participate in this auction?" Philippe Schiller, vice president of marketing, knew that the auction would cost the company a huge amount of money.

"Ever since I got this product, I immediately checked their patent registrations!" said the head of Apple's legal department, shrugging, "and then I found out that they had a perfect registration, and it would be a big price if we wanted to do it!"

"So there's no way we can beat our opponents in court?" asked Steve Wozniak, and that's not good news!

"It's not impossible. But "

"But time is all that matters!" Jobs interrupted, "we have to launch the product in the first place to capture the market, Jonathan." If you want to get a product similar to this sample, how long will it take? No need to think about patents, no need to think about costs, the company will provide you with all the support you can think of, I just need you to sue me for time!"

"Steve. I've already dismantled a sample, and according to my analysis, it will take us at least half a year to complete it to reach its current level! This is only the result of the real room, and if we want to go to large-scale production, it will take even longer!" Jonathan Yves replied helplessly. He knew that this answer would definitely not satisfy Jobs!

"Aha! Half a year! Half a year, everyone in the country has one of these things!" said Jobs, holding up the sample that Lebusi had mailed over, over his shoulder. "At this point, who are we going to sell our products to?"

"So we have to attend this auction now?" asked Ro-Wayne, rubbing his temples, as this incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to Apple's strategic planning.

"Yes, not only are we going to participate in this auction, but we are also going to win as many vacation patents as possible!" Jobs turned his gaze to the company's chief financial officer, Peter Oppenheimer, "Peter, how much liquidity can we spend on this auction now?"

"Thanks to the popularity of the iPhone, we now have very strong liquidity, and as of last week, we had a total of $30 billion in liquid assets, excluding necessary reserves. We can come up with "Oppenheimer reported a number that Jobs was very happy with."

"Very well, I don't think even Microsoft can beat us in terms of liquidity, I finally heard a good news!" Jobs nodded with satisfaction.

"Steve, with such a large sum of money, we must first convince the board!" Wozniak had to step up and remind him.

"What do those shits know! If this opportunity is lost, Apple will suffer a harsher blow than it did in the 90s!" Jobs seems to remember the history of his expulsion from Apple, when Apple was defeated in the computer market by Microsoft's indo95, "help me arrange a trip to China, I have to get in touch with other people before they get in touch to win favorable terms for us." ”

Meanwhile, in Redmond, Washington, Bill Gates, the greatest entrepreneur in IT history, is working on this gadget sent from China with his core team.

Steve Ballmer, the new president of Microsoft Corporation, is equally bullish on the new product. "It looks even more glamorous and powerful than our tablet-PC! I think customers will love it!"

The two Steves' views are surprisingly aligned, and Ballmer also believes that this tablet will set off a new wave of consumer boom, "Bill, I think we must take its patent down!"

"But Apple, Google, they've got this sample, they've got a lot more liquid than we have, especially Apple!" said Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, who said these things are no secret.

"Even if you can't get the exclusive patent, it's good to get some of it!" Damen said, "Let the finance department submit a report and see how much money we can use for this little thing! I think I may have to go to China myself!"

In Mountain View, California, Google's leadership team negotiated a decision to have co-founder and CEO Larry Page lead a team to Chang'an for the grand auction.

In addition to them, Neon's Sony, South Korea's Samsung, Treasure Island's HTC, and Europe's Nokia, Alcatel and other related companies have also taken active action to adjust the company's strategic plan, intending to get a share of this new product.

However, the relevant enterprises in China are a little apprehensive, their strength is relatively weak compared to these companies, and it may be difficult to win in this competition; however, they are always unwilling not to participate, so many companies such as Weihua, Xingzhong, and Imagination have also launched public relations activities to try to seek benefits for themselves through high-level relationships.
