Akio Morita's reputation is high, and it is not limited to one country. The reason why Sony www.biquge.info's brand can go to the world is largely due to the fact that the founder once moved to New York, USA, to live and make a wide range of contacts.

There is no doubt that Akio Morita is a great talent to be admired. Even Steve Jobs, who has always been unconvinced, put it on the list of appreciation.

After hearing the news of Akio Morita's death, Jobs also showed a very regretful expression.

Tang Huan joked, "With the further expansion of the digital music market and the steady increase in the market share of the iPod, it will not be a few years before Sony's Walkman will be replaced." It is estimated that when Akio Morita was lying in a hospital bed, he was very worried about this incredible threat from a company that produces personal computers. ”

Jobs smiled harshly: "Then use a market frenzy of iPod second generation and iPod_shuffle to pay tribute to the deceased Akio Morita." ”

"If you want to pay tribute to the deceased Akio Morita with more brilliant achievements, you must first have a healthy body that can live longer, so as to realize one ideal after another. Tang Huan stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital together and have a checkup." ”

Jobs subconsciously asked, "Check what?"

Tang Huan smiled dumbly and said, "This is not nonsense, of course it is a physical examination." ”

Jobs had a look of jealousy on his face, "I'm not going." It's not good to go to the hospital with you, I remember Andy Grove was in the hospital with you for a check-up and found prostate cancer. ”

"What do you mean, think of me as a plague god who spreads diseases?" Tang Huan scolded with tears and laughter: "Aren't you putting the cart before the horse? If Andy Grove hadn't found out about prostate cancer early, he might have gone to another world to report by now. ”

"I suffered from a kidney stone last year, and I have recovered a long time ago and my health is fine. Jobs stubbornly excused himself, "Besides, I have my own doctor." ”

Don't look at Jobs's initiation of a surge is not a common annoyance, but he has always been a veritable workaholic, which confirms the conclusion that success is equal to one percent genius and ninety-nine percent effort.

With Tang Huan's escort, the process of Jobs' return to Apple Computer Company, although it is decent and smooth, but when it comes to specific work, he must face all kinds of very practical doubts.

In addition, in the face of the Apple computer production line, which has become extremely messy after he left for more than ten years, it is not easy for Jobs to sort out.

As a result, under the dual effects of stress and exertion, Jobs suffered from kidney stones last year.

It can be seen that for this little problem, Jobs did not pay attention to it at all.

However, Tang Huan knew Jobs too well. The arrogance of this guy even includes his own physical health.

"Think of it as a review. Tang Huan smiled slightly, "You can't always get a dollar of annual salary." At the current state of business, Apple should be able to return to the normal track necessary for recovery in the next fiscal year. ”

"I think the time has come for the Apple Board of Directors to revisit your option allocation. And with a heavy responsibility, shouldn't you prepare early to show that you are physically fit enough to meet the bigger expectations?"

Jobs, who was hit by the goal, said stupidly: "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”

So, the two went to the treasure hospital invested by Tang's together for a comprehensive physical health examination.

Tang Huan deliberately and quietly instructed the doctor, "Focus on Jobs's pancreas, whether there is a problem, or there may be a problem." ”

Of course, because Jobs had kidney stones before, the treasure hospital must first focus on his kidneys and ureters.

Judging from the results of the examination that can be obtained on the spot, Tang Huan and Jobs, who are both 44 years old this year, are in good health; as for the results of further examinations, they will not be available until later.

Jobs, who felt that he had escaped the "curse of the Down's family", could not hide his smug muttering: "I'll just say, my body is fine." ”

Tang Huan, who didn't take such complaints to heart, laughed: "No matter what, after the inspection, I'm relieved." ”

After this little episode passed, Jobs began to officially launch the second generation of the iPod and iPod_shuffle in high spirits, and then he started to sell the product in a variety of ways.

Compared to last year, when the iPod generation was first emerging, the digital music content mainly came from the authorization of Yanle Entertainment Group, and this year Apple Computer has received more support from content providers.

For example, the Beatles music license, which Jobs has been obsessed with, finally got his wish this year after being rejected last year, which is a piece of heart.

I have to say that these record companies are quite powerful, and they are watching the iPod ecological chain move forward steadily. A feasible business profit model was formed, and it was quickly and decisively followed.

You know, at the moment, record companies are busy crusading against unauthorized digital music sharing sites on the Internet, and the most typical Napster has been sued in court, which is just in line with the way of "traffic is king", helping the other party advertise, and attracting thousands of admirers to flock to it.

EMI, who holds the licensing of the Beatles' work, is relieved of Jobs this time, and to some extent is also a kind of surrender to reality.

The lawsuit is still to be sued, but Yanle Entertainment Group is not as timid as its peers in the Internet operation of digital music, anyway, it is enough to reduce the pressure of breaking the tradition by allowing its artists to feel the benefits of this part of the profits.

Take the second generation of the iPod and the huge release of the iPod_shuffle as an example, Yanle Entertainment Group has officially introduced audio books in addition to digital music, and launched a digital audio version of "The Matrix", which was read by two-time Academy Award actress Jodie Foster, who has a high IQ enough to control its connotation.

You must know that compared with the original time and space, with the content can be rigorously "self-justifying", the release time catches up with the Internet wave, the aura of Mr. the richest man, the operation is powerful, and the film production completes the trilogy in one go, and other favorable factors, "The Matrix" is indescribably popular.

The first two parts of the movie "The Matrix" trilogy were released last year's Christmas and this year's summer, and the last one will soon meet ordinary audiences.

Among them, the global box office of the first part is more than 500 million US dollars, and the global box office of the second part is nearly 900 million US dollars, which is not inferior to "Star Wars: Phantom Crisis", which was also released in the summer of this year.

Therefore, the "Matrix" movie series, which proved to get rid of the trap of the sequel's powerlessness, made fans look forward to the finale.

Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, the iPod II and iPod_shuffle launched the commemorative edition of "The Matrix", which immediately became more and more popular, and Apple Computer Company was even more optimistic to increase its sales from 200,000 units in the same period last year to 280,000 units, thus creating a successful business example.

In addition to "The Matrix", Yanle Entertainment Group has also released an audio version of another best-selling book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by British female author Joanna Rowling.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has been critically acclaimed since its publication in 1997 and topped the New York Times bestseller list this year.

The introduction of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" audio book by the second generation of iPod is considered to further refine the market, and it is estimated that it will occupy a higher proportion of this year's Christmas gifts.

I have to say that compared with the current wave of the Internet era, countless .COM have already understood the "traffic is king" law, Apple Computer Company's iPod has obtained the true meaning of "content is king" in the digital music era.

In the field of computer hardware, there is also this phenomenon of chasing the extreme, that is, "speed is king". For example, buses, memory, graphics cards, hard disks, and especially CPUs are even more dazzling to see hardware enthusiasts.

Zheru's RISC microprocessor Holder has officially launched 1 GHz and 1.2 GHz versions for commercial applications, including the latest technologies such as copper process, super pipeline, 64-bit, and dual-threading, making it the most powerful CPU at present.

With Zheru's Holder as a benchmark, in the field of RISC microprocessors, IBM's POWER, Sun Microsystem's Sparc, etc., are vigorously catching up.

As for the x86 field, which already represents the direction of CISC microprocessor technology, the situation is a bit chaotic.

Originally, Ingle was the absolute leader, but it may have solved all the criticisms of the previous generation of products, and absorbed many of the satisfactory advantages of the previous generation of products, the Pentium 2 was too successful, and Ingle dropped the chain again, and its Pentium 3, which was launched at the beginning of this year, performed simply miserable.

The first problem is that Inger added a unique serial number to each Pentium 3 chip on the grounds of safety, which caused an uproar.

Gain users believe that instead of helping to alleviate the growing problem of computer security, Gaine users believe that this unique serial number can easily become a "back door" and fall into the pit of exposing privacy.

Ingle quickly lost the battle in the face of overwhelming criticism, providing software that allowed users to disable or enable the globally unique serial number at their own discretion, while motherboard manufacturers set it to be disabled by default directly in the BIOS.

In this way, the turmoil finally calmed down.

The significance of this incident for Mr. the richest man is that it gave him a vivid lesson.

Because Tang Huan also wanted to add such identification codes to his own products to facilitate management and control, he watched Intel go to the thunder.

Now that the results have come out, users are no more ignorant than in previous years, and all aspects related to their own interests are concerned, even if they don't understand it at first, the Internet will tell them until they understand.

Therefore, if you don't want to be exploited by pretenders who are hiding on the sidelines, you should not feel uncomfortable.

It's just that this world's only serial number, which is regarded as a backdoor by users, is not the real shortcoming of Pentium 3. The unsatisfactory performance of its product itself is a real opportunity for the opponent AMD to catch up.

A few months after the launch of the Pentium 3, AMD took out its latest generation x86 microprocessor K7, that is, Athlon, and cleanly put the Pentium 3 down.

The set of people who designed Athlon CPU is mainly from DEC, which has been disassembled and acquired and disappeared in the long river of history. They used the mature RISC microprocessor technology of the original owner to make AMD surpass Intel for the first time in the excellence of product architecture.

The most telling point is that AMD is busy making Athlon win the "speed is king" crown and become the first 1 GHz microprocessor in the x86 field, while Intel's current architecture Pentium 3, even if the process conditions allow, but its own design shortcomings, limit the sprint to 1 GHz.

Ups and downs are the norm.

The richest man did not worry about the possible collapse of Intel because of this, and it is deep enough, which is the old problem of "squeezing toothpaste", and it must have AMD, a little brother, with a whip behind his back, in order to move forward neatly.

Tang Huan is interested in what kind of leap the powerful performance of Holder, which runs at a frequency of more than 1GHz, to the special effects of movies.

To this end, Mr. The richest man went to the post-production department of the superhero film of the same name, which was produced by James Cameron and adapted from the marvel comic book "X-Men".

After a trip, Tang Huan was immediately sure that Hollywood blockbusters were about to enter a new world.

At this time, Jinge took a book and presented it to the richest man, and excitedly introduced: "Dad, this book "Dow Jones Industrial Average 36,000 Points: How to Profit in the Future Bull Market" has been in a mess since it was published on October 1st. You see. ”

Tang Huan casually flipped through a few pages, and then said lightly: "It is estimated that after your child is born, you will see that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will reach 36,000 points." ”

Jinge smiled and said, "Dad, I don't agree with the ideas in the book, but this book is co-authored by two economics experts, James Glassman and Kevin Hassett, and is currently the best-selling book in the United States, so there should always be something to be desired." ”

"Moreover, the current Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq are 12,000 and 5,000 points away, respectively, which are one step away. ”

Following this trend, according to the analysis of James Glassman and Kevin Hassett, it is not impossible that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will reach 36,000 points between 2002 and 2004. ”

"Yes, if the world is peaceful, maybe it can. The richest man put down the book casually and pointed out: "It is only good for us for others to believe in these young and youthful and frivolous views, but we must not be really deceived by the blood gushing." ”
