Chapter 849 . What a big butterfly
"If you want to come for an internship, of course you are welcome." Huang Wenbin said, "But there is no internship career recently, and it will be a while before it happens." "In a few days or a few years, it depends on the needs of the company, but the company probably does not have this need, and it is not just the beginning of the mobile phone project to be fully rolled out, at that time it is really possible to grasp the individual. Now that the various project teams have basically stabilized, there is no need to insert people into it on a large scale, and it will also destroy the chemical reaction that has been generated.
"I'm the first to be notified if there's news!" The students said in unison that many people took out their mobile phones and wanted to add Huang Wenbin's number. Naturally, all of them were wheat mobile phones, and one of the people holding the iPhone couldn't help but blush, and quickly put it away, but it was too late, and there were disdainful glances around.
Huang Wenbin will not discriminate, Apple mobile phones do have their own uniqueness, wheat mobile phones are still so breathing, "You just add the official public account of wheat mobile phones, if there is a recruitment of interns, a message will be published on it, and you can apply for it when the time comes." "People want exclusive news, Huang Wenbin said this, naturally very disappointed. So Huang Wenbin gave them an exclusive message, "But if you want to join our wheat phone, there is a shortcut." ”
"What shortcut?" The students were in high spirits.
"Our company will set up an R&D base in the coastal province." Huang Wenbin said, "If you are willing to go to the coastal provinces, you can immediately apply to our company." "The coastal provinces are not developed areas, and the local talent is not very sufficient, so it is not impossible to recruit people from other places, and the price paid will be relatively large. If you can fool these students, it will be the best of both worlds. This is the elite of Beijing University, and it is so big, Secretary Sun can't say that Huang Wenbin doesn't pay attention to it. Fresh graduates can make the most of cheap human resources by letting them work as interns for six months first.
Of course, Huang Wenbin will not pit them, he is willing to go to the coastal province, which means that he is not the kind of person who is ambitious, as long as he survives the six-month internship period and learns the real skills, he can become a regular employee, and then they are willing to stay in the coastal province, they can be promoted and raised, and they can also buy a staff house at a low price in the local area. If you refuse to stay in the coastal provinces, you must return to the capital, and you will still be promoted and raised. However, there is no housing subsidy, so you can't divide the house.
"Going to the coastal provinces?" Suddenly, many people retreated.
"Yes, to the coastal provinces." Huang Wenbin said, "You don't have to worry, it's not that you won't come back, as long as you have good grades during the internship period, you can go wherever you want." ”
This means that you can't go anywhere if you don't get good grades during the internship period, of course, all of you here are the elites of Beijing University, who would want to have bad grades, of course, you want to kill your own family and get full marks, this wants to do wheat chat, that wants to do wheat mall, and even wants to do wheat system, and even wants to enter the head office of Shengong Group, all of them imagine the future.
"I do!" Kong Bugeng was the first to say, "I am willing to go to the coastal provinces!"
"I would too." Others scolded Kong Bugeng for not being as reserved as a graduate of a prestigious university, which caused them to be one step late.
"Okay, you guys are also paying attention to the official account, and there will be news soon." Huang Wenbin said.
"I'd like to!" Toms said.
"What would you like?" Huang Wenbin asked.
"I'm willing to go to the coastal provinces." "But I don't have to do an internship, do I?" ”
Good horses don't eat back grass, Brother Tang! Huang Wenbin wanted to sue him like this, but he looked at Tom as if he was joking, "Are you serious? ”
"Of course it's true, last time I missed the miracle of wheat mobile phone, and I thought I would regret it for the rest of my life, if I had the opportunity to make up for it, I would be willing to do anything." Toms said.
Thomas is a strong man, more than 1.9 meters tall, often goes to the gym, has strong muscles, a full beard, and old hair, so he said that he is willing to do whatever he wants, and Huang Wenbin is not excited at all. It's a pity that it wasn't a blonde beauty with long thighs who said this, or else...... Phew, what are you thinking about, I just swore that I wanted to be Megumi Yanagishita. Huang Wenbin said to Toms: "I have no choice but to welcome you back, but the position of software director has been revoked. If you wish, I would like to hire you as the development director of the high-tech development zone in the coastal province of Shengong Group, under the same conditions as before. ”
"Yes." Thomas agreed, "Well, if I hadn't gone then, I'd be part of a miracle by now." "The software director of wheat mobile phones, what a big opportunity, even if you listen to Huang Wenbin, what if you don't have any autonomy at all, this is a wheat mobile phone that has sold almost 100 million units, and there is a complete set of wheat software on each machine. Not only that, but the wheat software on the Android market of the Apple Store is also very popular. Originally, Tom could claim that these software came from him, but he let go of this opportunity, which is really painful.
After talking about serious things, the following is the time to ask questions, Kong Bugeng asked first: "Mr. Huang, I heard that you will change the code yourself?" ”
"Of course it's fake." Although Huang Wenbin didn't want to admit it, he still had a little vanity, "How can I have time to read the code in person, let alone change the code." "I just said that I didn't have time, but I didn't say that I couldn't understand it at all," I just asked for it, and I would never interfere with how the programmer wanted to implement it. So don't listen to Toms's nonsense, I'm not against innovation, I'm just against some innovation that is out of the project. ”
"I heard that Mr. Huang's motivation for making mobile phones is similar to Sony's for making game consoles, isn't that so?" Another asked.
"What do you mean?" Huang Wenbin didn't understand, what is the relationship between his mobile phone and Sony's game console?
"In the past, Sony didn't think about making their own game consoles, they just made hardware for Nintendo. Later, Sony invested a large amount of research funds, and finally made the game console, but Nintendo didn't want it, Sony was forced to have no choice, so he had to make his own game console, that is, PS, out of control, surpassing Nintendo to become the first in the game console industry, so it is very similar to Mr. Huang. Toms understood and explained to Huang Wenbin.
"Where's it like me?" Huang Wenbin still didn't understand.
"It turns out that Mr. Huang, you want to be an agent for Apple's mobile phone." Thomas said, "I applied in '07, and it was this Miss Mickey who applied for it." ”
"I wrote to Steve Jobs at the time, and he replied very quickly." Mickey said, "At that time, Wen Bin told me that Apple's mobile phone would replace Nokia as the hegemon of the mobile phone industry, but I didn't believe it. However, I still applied with Steve Jobs for the agency of the iPhone. He also agreed, and gave us the right to act as a proxy for the provincial capital of the coastal province. I have always treasured that authorization, and then the Apple mobile phone was really going to come in, saying that this authorization was not in line with Apple's business philosophy, so we canceled our agency. ”
It turned out that there was such a thing, Huang Wenbin almost forgot about it.
"That's right, the wheat software that Mr. Huang made was originally for Apple." "If Apple doesn't cancel Mr. Huang's agency, we'll be able to work together," Toms said. As a result, they had to cancel, and as soon as Mr. Huang got angry, he decided to make his own mobile phone. Not only occupied the entire Chinese market, but also squeezed out a lot of Apple mobile phone markets exported abroad, especially the low-price market. According to Apple's own estimates, they have been usurped for 5 to 10 percent of the share. ”
How can there be such a thing, not only Huang Wenbin disagrees, Kong Bugeng also said: "Mr. Tang, the pricing of wheat mobile phones and Apple mobile phones is completely different, wheat mobile phones are 2,000 yuan, and if they are converted into US dollars, they are only more than 200 or 300 yuan, and Apple mobile phones are more than 500 or 600 yuan, which is half the difference." ”
"In the U.S., not just in the U.S., but in Europe and elsewhere, the contract market for mobile operators is much more important than the retail market." Toms explained, "The unlocked retail version of an Apple phone costs more than $500 or six hundred, but the locked contract phone is generally more than $200 or three hundred, which is the same as the retail price of a wheat phone." People will naturally compare, with the same money, there are no requirements to buy wheat mobile phones, and to buy Apple mobile phones, you have to sign a contract to ensure how much you consume each month, of course, there will be people who choose wheat mobile phones. Operators in some places also provide wheat mobile phones as contract machines, which are cheaper. Therefore, wheat mobile phones will squeeze out part of the Apple mobile phone market. ”
"It's not much." Huang Wenbin said.
"Boss Huang, don't be anxious, after all, Apple has accumulated a lot of energy." "And 5 percent of the market is enough for them to have their hearts ache." I have friends at Apple, and I heard that in order to deal with wheat phones, they have even postponed the release of a new generation of IP4, and they must surpass wheat phones in an all-round way. ”
"And this?" Huang Wenbin asked, he remembered that Apple 4 should have been released in early June 10, but there was no news by mid-June, and he thought he had misremembered the time.
"I heard that the main thing is to increase the screen, and the original screen is 3. 5 inches, this time to add 4 inches. Thomas said.
"How is that possible?" Huang Wenbin said, "3. 5 inches is the most comfortable size for the human body. "It's not just IP4 that's 3. 5 inches, even 4s is 3. 5 inches, and then Jobs died, and Cook took the position, so he used a 4-inch screen on IP5, not widening, but lengthening, to make a donkey face. Later, when it came to IP6, it finally caught up with the trend and made a big screen. Now that Jobs is not dead, how can he give up 3. 5 inch screen.
"My friend did say so, and a number of people confirmed it to me." Thomas said, "This mistake was so big that Apple held Apple accountable internally, and found that it was during Jobs' illness that Cook canceled Boss Huang's agency and fired Cook." ”
"Which Cook?" Huang Wenbin was taken aback.
"Tim Cook, Apple's COO, he's in charge of marketing." Toms said.
Although Huang Wenbin didn't care much about the current affairs of the IT industry in his previous life, he also knew that Cook took over from Steve Jobs as the head of Apple, making Apple the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization, and it was still the case until Huang Wenbin crossed over, and later came out (in fact, Huang Wenbin only noticed Cook when he saw the news). Now Cook was actually fired by Apple? This butterfly effect is too big.
