Chapter 29: Finally on your knees

"Oh no! Stephen! Our tough statement on the problem of unstable mobile phone signals has been swiped on all the mainstream media in China today!"

Jobs' office door was pushed open by Tim Cook, and the doorknob reverberated with a tooth-aching reverberation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cook didn't even see Jobs' face, and he shouted the bad news from afar.

"What's wrong? Jobs looked at the old man with a cold face, and he was a little disdainful in his heart.

He had known Cook for years, and he had never seen the other person so panicked.

Cook didn't seem to know where to start, but he was stunned for a few seconds, and then held back a sentence: "The earthquake in southwest China - you should know about this news." ”

"Of course, wasn't it three or four days ago, could it be that it was shocked again? I remember that our company also donated $1 million to charity, could it be that they want to praise our sense of international responsibility?" Jobs was puzzled for a while.

"Of course, there are aftershocks...... Ah no, that's not the point. Cook was a little confused, and only after calming down for a moment did he talk about the meat, "Today, Xin-Hua News Agency specially interviewed Huaxia Unicom and launched an accountability inquiry on the poor GPS positioning performance of the 'Wo' mobile phone provided by Unicom in the disaster area. China Unicom sent a high-level technical review and response, and pushed most of the black pots of 'poor GPS positioning in areas with damaged base stations' on us!"

"What the hell!"

Jobs was furious: Isn't this a planting?

Cook swallowed a mouthful of saliva, relieved the burning dryness in his throat, and sighed: "I have a link to the specific news in my email - now the four major news portals in China have the headlines at the top, Renren and YY Tieba have also exploded, and in other East Asian disaster-prone countries that care about earthquake news, such as Fuso and Indonesia, there have also been widespread social media swipes." ”

Jobs sat back at his desk, flipped through his Mac, looked at the relevant pages he had pulled out, and within a few seconds his face turned green.

The homepage of the Huangyi news portal has been changed to a huge watermark painting.

On the left side of the picture, it is his proud cock full of scumbag face, and he also stretches out a finger to point at the country, and the whole person faces the screen at 45 degrees, and the finger is pointing at the screen - in other words, anyone who sees this picture will feel that Jobs in the picture is pointing at his face. It was a very arrogant state, which made people feel uncomfortable and disrespected.

IN THE PAINTING, WHERE JOBS IS POINTING, THERE IS AN IPHONE-3G MOBILE PHONE, NEXT TO WHICH IS WRITTEN THE FAMOUS WORDS OF JOBS HIMSELF: "PLEASE HOLD THE PHONE IN AN ELEGANT POSTURE!"

In the right half of the picture, a middle-aged man who is grieving and refusing is holding several scarred young people on the left and right, stroking the corpse and crying bitterly. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL PARTS THAT ARE SPECIALLY ENLARGED AND CLOSE-UP, EMPHASIZING THE IPHONES WITH VARIOUS MOBILE PHONE CASES HELD BY YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR HANDS, SOME OF WHICH ARE HELD BY BIG HANDS, AND SOME ARE NOT PINCHED, BUT THERE IS NO SIGNAL BECAUSE OF THE WET MOBILE PHONE CASE-

OF COURSE, WHETHER THERE IS A SIGNAL OR NOT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THESE PICTURES, ALTHOUGH THE PICTURES HAVE MAGNIFIED THE SIGNAL DISPLAY ON THE IPHONE SCREEN. But to see the cause of this situation, you have to look at the following text explanation.

The text explanation is naturally the content of the dialogue between the reporter of Xin-China News Agency and the spokesperson of Huaxia Unicom Technology, which is absolutely authoritative.

"Drop the chain at the critical moment!"

"Murderer!"

"The posture of holding the mobile phone is not elegant enough, and the mobile phone is covered with water vapor, should it be damned? should it be paid with life?"

"What is GPS for? Isn't it supposed to tell rescuers where we are when we're trapped in a disaster? If we can't even do that, what do we need GPS for?"

Jobs read the popular comments one by one using machine translation, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

These hot comments have hundreds of thousands of likes!

In addition to the official news, there are also countless videos and statements of friends criticizing, and hundreds can be seen at a glance.

encountered this incident, in fact, the happiest and the first to jump out was not Gu Cheng or his YY electronic spokesperson. Because Lei Jun's gang has not been engaged in mobile phones for a long time, the RF performance of Aimi's mobile phones is indeed not world-class.

The people who danced the most were the people from Nokia. Nokia released several demo videos on the same day on NICONICO - consumers have the right to hold their phones in any position! Consumers also have the right to use any phone case they want!

Then on the demo screen, Nokia staff performed live: they invited the NBA Lakers' retired strong man center, the big shark O'Neal, and held the Nokia mobile phone in his hands with his big hands - of course, that mobile phone is Nokia's latest research and development, with a GPS navigation function, which is not currently sold on the market.

The mobile phone was almost tightly clenched by the big hand O'Neill in all directions, but the signal was not affected at all, and the GPS positioning data could still be transmitted to the base station.

Then, Nokia did a bunch of experiments, putting several layers of rubber phone sleeves on all sides of the phone, and even a metal backplate phone case - only covering the back cover and middle frame, revealing the screen - and then testing the signal, and there was still no problem.

After reading all this, Jobs felt that the whole person was several years older.

Oh, and it shouldn't be a few years old, to be exact—because he didn't have three years to age. If nothing else, he would have died of pancreatic cancer three years later.

Therefore, at this moment, he just felt that he was angry for a while.

The corners of his mouth and cheeks twitched several times, and finally he shouted angrily:

"Shit! WHY DOES THE BURDEN OF 'POSITIONING USERS ON OCCASIONS WITH BAD SIGNALS' HAVE TO BE PRESSED ON THE IPHONE! THIS IS NOT FAIR! THERE ARE SO MANY BRANDS AND STYLES OF MOBILE PHONES USED BY CHINESE PEOPLE, EXCEPT FOR IPHONE-3G AND AIMI, DON'T OTHER 2G MOBILE PHONES HAVE NO STANDARD POSITIONING?

Of the 60,000 people who died, two-thirds of them were stoned to death in an instant just after they collapsed, and only one-third died of blood, hunger, thirst, and aggravated injuries after being buried. 20,000 people died because of the delay in rescue, and they only stared at those hundreds of people!"

Jobs's remarks, complaining behind closed doors, still have some truth.

After all, less than 5% of the victims in the disaster area now use 3G mobile phones with navigation. The remaining 95% are resigned to fate and wait for the excavation to be slowly saved, and life and death are fateful and lucky.

It's just a pity that there is no harm in not comparing.

HOWEVER, THIS TIME, AMONG THE COMPETITORS WHO ENTERED THE MARKET AT THE SAME TIME AS THE IPHONE-3G, THERE WAS A FAILURE THAT BOTH USED THE BEIDOU NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE METAL MIDDLE FRAME ANTENNA DESIGN THAT USED GPS AND DID NOT HAVE A CHEAT.

Under the combination of several factors, among the magnified 5% of victims, a verdict was immediately made, pushing Apple to the forefront.

Cook also knew that Jobs was telling the truth, but he had to correct the other party's response: "Stephen, I know what you said is true, but we must not respond like this - with competitors staring, the 5% of people who 'should have a chance to be rescued faster' are delayed, and the impact of this matter in the eyes of consumers and the public is absolutely no different from 100%." ”

Jobs said decadently, "I know...... I don't need you to teach me, anyway, first remove the banner on the official website that says "Please hold your phone in an elegant posture", and urgently rectify the internal situation, and remove all sensitive and uncomfortable things first. Don't start the press conference, let's keep it sinking for a few days. If Gu Cheng attacks us frantically, we will fight back appropriately, and if they don't pursue, we won't provoke the public to keep paying attention. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and arrange the crisis PR. At this time, it is really better not to say anything and pretend not to know. Cook sighed helplessly, and said in his heart that he could only deal with it coldly.

As soon as Cook went out, the more Jobs thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his liver hurt even more.

"Eh...... Quick, get my propofol codeine......" He felt a twitch in his right abdomen, struggling to press the female secretary's inner line.

……

Cold treatment obviously takes a long time to take effect.

IN THE DAYS OF JOBS'S LIVER PAIN, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT THE CRUSADE AGAINST THE IPHONE INTENSIFIED.

From the first two days, it only spread in China, and later spread to other Asian countries, especially in disaster-prone areas.

BECAUSE OF THE OCCUPATION OF SAMSUNG AND LG, AS WELL AS THE PATRIOTIC PARANOIA OF DONGYI PEOPLE IN MOBILE PHONES AND CARS, EVEN THE IPHONE OF "MI GUO'S FATHER" DID NOT HAVE MUCH SALES. So it doesn't matter if you're shocked.

Fuso, on the other hand, was originally developed by Apple as a key market in Asia - Fuso people clicked on the wrong technology tree in the smartphone era, and almost no one except Sony made mobile phones. At the same time, Fuso is a developed country with a high per capita income, which is much stronger than the purchasing power of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, which are also in the tectonic plate transition seismic zone.

It was originally a place where the "rice fathers" could wantonly erode and reduce dimensionality.

However, after the scandal of "poor signal and inconvenience in locating during disasters", the people of Fuso, who were hit by earthquakes almost every year, began to panic.

THOSE WHO WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO BUY AN IPHONE ALSO STOPPED AND BEGAN TO WAIT AND SEE, AND THEN SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH EACH OTHER ON THE RENREN NETWORK, OR WENT TO YY POST A POST TO DISCUSS FOR HELP, ASKING "WHY DOES AIMI'S MOBILE PHONE PERFORM SO WELL IN RESCUE POSITIONING, IS THERE A MORE ADVANCED PLACE THAN GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM?" AND OTHER QUESTIONS.

For such an humble request for advice, Lei Jun was simply crazy, of course, he did not hesitate to teach science.

It's a pity that Lei Jun is too ugly (although a little better than Ma Feng), and he was too low-key before and has no reputation, so many of the answers he arranged were buried in the sea of redundant consultations.
