Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Time to Witness History (1)

When An Yuxi 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 person who was shouting was, plus the conference was about to start, and Zuckerberg, who saw him not far away, had already stood up and waved, An Yuxi didn't look any further, and walked over quickly.

"Where were you dragged by Jobs?"

When An Yuxi arrived, Zuckerberg, who had already left his depression behind, hurriedly asked curiously.

"Just introduced me to a few people. Although the identity of the CEO of Facebook was temporarily added to him to add weight to his identity at the Apple conference today, An Yuxi's bearing is not lost to others. An Yuxi'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 Shiller, who has long been in contact with Apple, Cook, Oppenheimer and others also introduced each other, followed by Intel CEO and president, Yahoo and Google executives, and representatives of Samsung.

These people, An Yuxi is not all without contact, such as Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, Yahoo offered more than $1 billion to buy Facebook last year, and it was about to succeed, but it fell short because An Yuxi cut off his beard. 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 An Yuxi's eyes.

Google's Eric Schmidt performed similarly, Google rumored that it was interested in Facebook a few years ago, but before they could make a move, Facebook gave them a solid stick - in the past month, Skymap 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, the media has published an article analyzing that if Google does not make major changes, then, its map products will fail in front of Skymap, which involves one of the most important problems: Google Maps, launched in 2005, is not as decisive as Google's search products in the same market, it is still very young, it has not yet formed a huge advantage in technology accumulation and user experience.

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

What's more, Skymap, which An Yuxi led single-handedly, snatched Apple from the Google Maps cooperation sequence, if it weren't for the deep city government, An Yuxi felt that Eric Schmidt might hate himself so much.

However, when meeting with the Samsung representative, An Yuxi 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 Woo-seo frowned slightly, but then put down this trace of thought, because, the conference began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Macworld 2007......" The lights of the venue gradually dimmed, only the rostrum was still bright, the huge TV wall showed Apple's logo, and the stereo played the world-famous song "Soul", which has been popular in the past two years.

There were screams from girls in the room, causing a small commotion.

Listening to this song, An Yuxi put aside those thoughts, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, looked at the stage, Zuckerberg, who was about to continue to ask, also closed his mouth, and in the huge venue, the noisy voices slowly faded.

When the music stopped abruptly, and Jobs, whose hair and beard were already snow-white, walked up to the stage amid people's expectations and applause, and said the opening remarks, An Yuxi looked there with bright eyes.

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

……

Not only the people in the venue are looking forward to it, but at this moment, in front of many TVs and computers, more people are paying attention to this conference.

In Seoul, South Korea, several girls are watching the live broadcast through their devices, looking at the big names on the screen, their eyes are wide one by one.

More and more places are paying close attention to this is just a small dot on the map, Los Angeles, Tianheng International Headquarters Building, Andingbang, who hurriedly ended a meeting, also turned on the TV, and with him, there were several executives of the newly established mobile phone department that he specially called.

Looking at the open TV, Stephen Jobs opened the introduction: "A year ago, we just announced that we had transferred 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 ......"

In the face of the big boss, several executives were a little restless, and made eye contact with each other in private, not knowing what the deep meaning was behind this.

Of course, they knew the purpose of the big boss asking him to come and watch Macworld 2007, and the media began to report half a month ago that Apple's new product was a mobile phone.

But in their eyes, they don't care about Apple's strategy, yes, Apple is very powerful, it has an iPhone, it has Macintosh, and the Apple· TV, but if you talk about mobile phones......

Apple is a complete layman!

This industry is not so simple, it's not just talking, Apple's "crazy", "unbelievable" and other words, Andy Rubin, the head of the mobile phone business, doesn't believe it at all, if it weren't for the big boss, he would have left long ago.

He didn't know, he didn't believe in Apple, nor Stephen Jobs, but An Yuxi! Although Tianheng Technology has internal members involved in the development and debugging of the Iphone, he doesn't think this phone is any different from other mobile phones, at least he thinks that a mobile phone only needs to be able to make calls and send text messages.

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. TV, announcing when it will be on the market.

Just when Andy Rubin 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 table, the center of everyone's sight:

"I've been looking forward to this day for 3 years and 5 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 was quietly looking at the text of the live broadcast, and there were blurry photos, and they saw Jobs looking back, telling a solemn statement: "In 1984, we launched the Macintosh computer, and it 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 applause again, "It not only changed the way we listen to music, but also 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.
