Chapter 524: Someone Panicked?
Apple.
"Check, investigate, see who leaked," Jobs shouted angrily.
"Steve, the features of the Tejas phone are more advanced than ours, and I can't see any of them imitating us, so I don't believe that someone from our project team leaked it."
"Because they are better than us in everything, I suspect that someone leaked the contents of the iPhone."
"I think we probably need to face up to the status quo more than do something meaningless."
"THIS IS THE SMARTPHONE I WANT, WHY IS IT A GPHONE," STEVE JOBS SAID, A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.
"I used to think our Apple was looking cool, but now it looks like an ugly duckling. And until now, our mobile phone system is very unstable, the signal is also very poor, and it often freezes. In the face of GPHONE's competition, there is no way to fight back."
"No, we can't just give up. Although I hate Jiang Hui's guy, there is one thing he is not wrong: Guanghui mobile phone will redefine mobile phone. The future development trend of mobile phones must be smart phones, at present only Guanghui mobile phones and we firmly believe that we still have a chance".
"So is our press conference still scheduled for January?".
"Why not? We want to show the world that it's not just the brilliant phone that has a forward-looking vision, we at Apple too," Jobs said, standing up, clenching his fists.
Every great leader often has a unique personality and charisma, and the uniqueness of these individuals is often difficult to replicate and universalize, so it is difficult to refine from the perspective of "best practice".
Jobs was a passionate man from a young age, and his ambition was to change the world, and he has always made "making the world a better place" as his professional credo. All the while, Jobs had a strong sense of purpose in everything he did, and he was passionate about what he did. More importantly, his passion can also infect others, including employees and customers, so that his personal vision can be transformed into a shared vision.
After Apple was founded, Steve Jobs was opposed to market research for the sake of innovation, and there was a natural resistance to producers coming together to build standards and platforms.
He believes that consumers do not buy platforms, standards, or strategies, but only the products they are obsessed with. So, while the giants got together to set standards, Jobs hid and studied his "little things." Jobs's life revolved around the struggle between taste and vulgarity, around individuality and standardization.
Perhaps it is Steve Jobs' maverick personality that has shaped Apple's unique culture of innovation. Apple employees have always been influenced by Steve Jobs's entrepreneurial myth, believing that "one person, one desk, one computer, can change the world!", and in previous lives, they did succeed.
However, now that Jiang Hui has been encountered, the situation has become more complicated, and the road of Apple's mobile phone is destined to be more tortuous.
……
Nokia.
"President, I just watched the product launch of the Guanghui mobile phone, and I think we need to contact Android and consider launching a smartphone as well?", Decardo, head of the development department, reported to the president of Nokia.
"What is a smartphone? I think a mobile phone that uses our Symbian system can already be called a smartphone. We are a global leader in the mobile phone industry, why bend down to a small company?".
Symbian is a real-time, multi-tasking operating system with low power consumption and low memory footprint, making it ideal for mobile devices such as mobile phones with limited memory and memory.
The first mobile phone based on the Symbian system was a certain Ericsson mobile phone that hit the market in 2000. The really mature and eye-catching Nokia 9210, which was launched in 2001, uses a system extended by Symbian. The Nokia 7650 and 3650, launched in 2002, were the first smartphones based on the 2.5G network, and they both belonged to the 6.0 version of Symbian. A model launched by Sony Ericsson also used the Symbian system, and the version has been developed to 7.0, which was developed specifically for 3G networks, and can be said to represent the most powerful mobile phone operating system at that time.
However, with the increasing demand for memory and various applications in smartphones, Symbian has been a bit out of pace.
"PRESIDENT, I THINK GPHONE'S DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IS RIGHT, AND USERS WILL LIKE THESE COOL SMARTPHONES MORE AND MORE IN THE FUTURE."
"That's just a trick to fool consumers, and in the end, the success of mobile phones still depends on hardware upgrades."
Why did Nokia, the giant, fall? Actually, you can see the eyebrows from here. The popular way of obtaining user stickiness by hardware progress in the era of feature phones will slowly be replaced by the user stickiness brought by software experience, but the success of the Symbian system in recent years has made Nokia's senior management underestimate the consequences of the changes caused by the concept of smart phones, or deliberately unwilling to admit that their Symbian phones are smartphones.
Unwilling to admit the impact of the trend of smart phones is to ignore users' attention to system evolution, and paranoid that continuing to rely on the leadership of hardware can make users continue to choose to purchase Nokia mobile phones. This eventually led to the fall of the behemoth.
"President, the upgrade of hardware is indeed very important, but it doesn't hurt for us to get in touch with Guanghui mobile phone."
"As far as the enterprises of the Celestial Empire are concerned, what is the need to contact? Dicardo, the company's development strategy is something I need to consider, you can go back and do your business."
……
Motorola.
"There are only two kinds of mobile phones in this world, one is a glorious mobile phone, and the other is a different mobile phone?haha~ Is today April Fool's Day?How can there be such ridiculous news?".
"Guanghui mobile phone has not even started selling a product, so it dares to shout such a slogan, and it is not afraid that the voice will be too loud and flashing."
"Korn Ferry Group may have some achievements in the Internet field, but if they want to do a good job in the mobile phone area, they still have to make good money in the first few years."
"yes, look at how many phones we've sold this year? look at how many phones Nokia and Sony Ericsson have sold this year? Look at how many phones have been sold by Guanghui phone? GPHONE is a child's toy."
"But this toy is not cheap, it is actually ready to sell for 499 dollars, haha~ laughed at me, did he make money fall from the sky when we were Americans?".
"Hehe, we're just going to sit and watch the jokes on the Glorious Phone."
"Well, let the market teach them how to behave".
