Chapter 912: Eventful

The year 2008 is destined to be a strong stroke in the history of world development.

Not to mention the far-reaching subprime mortgage crisis, not to mention the imperial capital Olympics that are about to shock the world, Apple's release of the iPhone 2 alone, which began the most head-on collision with the glorious mobile phone, will leave a very deep impression on everyone.

Historically, the first generation of the iPhone was released on January 9, 2007 by Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, and officially went on sale on June 29, 2007.

The second-generation iPhone 3G was officially released on June 10, 2008 by Steve Jobs, the head of Apple Inc., at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

The third-generation iPhone 3GS was officially announced on June 9, 2009 by Apple at the Worldwide Developers Conference DC2009.

The fourth-generation iPhone 4 was unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (DC 2010) held on June 8, 2010 at the Moscone est Convention Center in the United States.

It can be said that after the release of the iPhone4, Apple really gained a firm foothold in the smartphone industry. But now, with the instigation of the "butterfly" wings of the glorious mobile phone, the development of global smartphones has accelerated for at least two or three years.

If the iPhone 2 released by Apple this year is still the same as in history, it is destined to have no way to live, and Jobs, who has always been long-sighted, will naturally not be unaware of this.

So when the first generation of iPhone was hit by Gphone, and the monthly production and sales were less than a quarter of that of Gphone, Jobs had already arranged for R&D personnel to speed up the research and development of the new iPhone.

Of course, with the comparison of Gphone, this generation of iPhone is destined not to just have one more 3G function than the first generation of products, but to benchmark Gphone in an all-round way and develop a product that surpasses Gphone.

To do the best, this has always been Jobs's philosophy, but unfortunately, when the iPhone meets the glorious mobile phone Gphone, this plagiarized the classic shape of the iPhone in history, and avoided the shortcomings of the iPhone in history, it is destined to be a difficult battle to win.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the marketing department combined with yesterday's Apple press conference to sort out the information of the new generation of iPhone, from the parameter point of view, this generation of iPhone is no worse than our Gphone anniversary edition, and even some places have surpassed. ”

Jiang Hui has always regarded Apple as the biggest competitor of Guanghui mobile phone, or a potential competitor, so the Guanghui mobile phone marketing department has a special team to study Apple's information, so as to provide it to the management for judgment and use in the first time.

Therefore, yesterday Apple just released a new generation of iPhone, the relevant report information of the glorious mobile phone has been put on Jiang Hui's desktop, as the company's deputy general manager in charge of research and development, Zhu Zhengfeng personally brought the relevant personnel of the marketing department to the imperial capital to make a report to Jiang Hui.

"It looks good, but it doesn't exceed our expectations. Jiang Hui commented while flipping through the information in his hand.

As the leader of smart phones, Jiang Hui never expected Guanghui mobile phones to monopolize this market, last year's global mobile phone sales exceeded one billion, this is not a cake that Guanghui mobile phone companies can eat, can cut the sweetest piece of this cake, Jiang Hui thinks it's okay.

As for Apple, Jiang Hui expected a leap forward in the new generation of iPhone.

You know, it is the domestic followers IO and OPOO, and even Warwick, the smartphones they have pushed out are much more beautiful than the first iPhone, and there is a faint shadow of Gphone in the appearance.

How classic the iPhone 4 is, this is not something that can be clearly explained in one sentence or two.

It's almost a matter of course that followers will imitate Tejas phones.

In fact, this is not the case with the Celestial Empire.

You must know that even Germany, one of the world's largest industrial powers, started by imitating, or copycating products.

Every time there is a rainstorm in a certain place in the sky, and then the whole city is covered, there will be:

"The Germans stayed on the island for 17 years, and they didn't build villas, they didn't build fountains, they built sewers. 100 years later, the whole day saw a Koto Island that was never flooded...... Some of the interface parts needed to be replaced, and the German company that built the sewer no longer exists. After contacting Germany, Kotoshima found a small warehouse where spare parts were stored, and spare parts wrapped in oilcloth were still as bright as new......"

This blind worship of German quality has affected all aspects.

The Celestial Empire's choice of cars also reflects a preference for German quality.

The Audi A6 has long been the standard equipment of the official cars of the Celestial Empire, and the models of Volkswagen have long topped the sales list of the Celestial Empire, and burning engine oil and breaking the large axle cannot change people's enthusiasm for buying.

German car fans simply believe that the German brand is rigorous in craftsmanship and reliable in quality, and it is definitely more advanced than the Japanese island country.

In fact, the history of "Made in Germany equals high quality" is rather short. Until the 20th century, the image of the Germans had nothing to do with "rigor".

For many Celestial people, the grammatically complex German language is a testament to German rigor. But in the 17th and 18th centuries, French was the language of German high society. Leibniz, the greatest German scholar of the 17th century, wrote only in French and Latin, and King Frederick II of Prussia, who was revered as the spiritual ancestor of the Germans, considered German to be a semi-civilized language, far inferior to French.

The same is true of the image of the Germans. Madame Stahl, a writer during the French Revolution, used the words "sluggish", "lacking military spirit" and "being distracted" to describe the Germans, in stark contrast to the French at this time.

By the time the German nationalist movement arose in the 1830s, it was not "rigor" that Germans used to shape national culture, but the plays and poetry of Schiller, Goethe, and deep religious sentiment and agitated romanticism. Rationality, science, and other ideas necessary for "rigor" were also regarded as imported from the culture of the French Revolution.

Even the German Chancellor Bismarck could not help complaining that he could not talk about politics with the Prussian conservatives, because they would have to put everything into the relationship between man and God.

Early German industrial products were more insulated with "rigorous" and "high-quality" products.

At the beginning of German reunification, the vast majority of the German population was engaged in agriculture, and manufacturing was mainly in handicraft workshops, with few large factories. Compared to Britain, which was already the world's largest industrial power, Germany had advantages only in terms of population and labor costs. In the early days, German factories were filled with unskilled unskilled workers, destined to produce shoddy, low-end products.

Under the onslaught of the factory, the apprenticeship system, which was considered a shelter for the "artisan spirit", quickly became unsustainable. Apprentices with low incomes often break their contracts to work in factories, and the masters, who are worried that they will not be able to recoup their capital, have to use their apprentices as cheap labor to squeeze, so that the workshop loses the meaning of training craftsmen.

As a result, in 1871, Germany officially abolished the guild apprenticeship system and began to use trade protectionism policies to foster a labor-intensive, export-oriented economy.

Like a century later, made in the Celestial Empire, German products soon became notorious.

Just a few years later, "Made in Germany" suffered its first fiasco at the 1876 World's Fair in Philadelphia, USA. While the latest civilian products and advanced technologies were being exhibited in various countries, the German pavilion could only rely on Krupp cannons to make a strong noise, and embarrassingly hung political propaganda praising Wilhelm I and Bismarck.

In 1887, British businessmen aggressively pushed Parliament to pass a trademark bill that required foreign products to indicate their country of origin. The move is aimed at Germany, which has seriously jeopardized the credibility of British manufacturing by exporting large quantities of counterfeit products purportedly made in the UK.

Fortunately, Germany did not fall to the bottom on the copycat road.

In 1884, the Ministry of Trade took over the management of adult schools from the Ministry of Education and began to develop vocational training. In the two decades since, spending on vocational education has increased 20-fold, with the number of training schools growing from 664 to 2,162 and the number of trainees from 58,400 to 352,000.

In 1897, the modern craft guilds were re-established in Germany, with apprenticeships as an important part of the training of skilled workers and the development of small and medium-sized workshop-based enterprises. Compared with the traditional guilds, the new system has uniform training standards, legal apprenticeship contracts and a vocational qualification assessment system, and the modern German worker training model is beginning to take shape.

It can be said that Germany's industry, in fact, should also start from "cottages".

In addition to Germany, the stick country next door to the Celestial Empire actually started from the "cottage" island country, and after accumulating the original capital through the cottage, it began to work hard to change the situation.

As a late-stage stream, it is naturally difficult for the Celestial Empire to avoid such a situation.

So when the smartphones of IO and OPOO look very similar to Gphone, and the function is almost imitating Gphone, Jiang Hui did not let anyone from the legal department go to court with them.

On the one hand, although the legal system of the Celestial Empire is not sound enough, even if the lawsuit is won, the Guanghui mobile phone may not be able to get any benefits, and another consideration is that Jiang Hui also expects these followers to drive the trend of smart phones, so that smart phones can subvert the traditional feature phones earlier.

To a certain extent, these followers are partners of Brilliant Mobile.

Of course, Apple certainly does not belong to this kind of ordinary followers, and it should be treated differently. ()
