Chapter 10 The Boat Sails the Sea

Most people in the world probably don't know how important Apple is in the first six months after its official launch -- except for Steve Jobs himself and Gu Mojie.

The reason why this half-year shipment period is important is because before the release, although Google is also organizing the "Android Developer Conference", but because of the lack of IOS system comparison, Google, which has never done a mobile phone system, does not know what the future Android system should be developed.

Many of Android's design concepts are undoubtedly borrowed from Apple's IOS - not plagiarism, but borrowing.

This means that Android mobile phones will take at least 18 months to be on the market at night compared to Apple mobile phones - according to the industry norm, it will take at least a year to write and improve the Android system, and then after the major hardware manufacturers get a stable system, it will take half a year to design, develop, produce and promote the whole machine.

Jobs spent more than $2 billion in R&D funds behind closed doors in the previous three years to build the first generation of Apple, could he not have imagined that "once it is launched, its excellent design at the system level will definitely be borrowed"? Of course not. So Jobs thought about it, but he wasn't afraid of copycats - if you did, you would be at least 18 months later than me.

And in the past 18 months, it is enough for Apple to build up the credibility of this app store platform, forming a snowball effect, tying thousands of APP application software development companies to the chariot of "optimizing for Apple".

What Gu Mojie wants to convince Larry Page to snipe is Apple's time lag.

Page is quite powerful, and after receiving Gu Mojie's plan, he started to do it alone:

"In the past few days, all kinds of videos have been flying sideways, and there are all kinds of American 'technology channel bricks' doing self-media talk shows there, analyzing that Apple will definitely cut prices in exchange for the time difference in the distribution of goods, and warn the American people to hold back and not buy Apple's mobile phones -- because the sooner you buy, the more you lose.

In addition to video sites, the columnists of tech channels of major news portals were also bought off by our Android League, writing an overwhelming number of similar articles to squeeze Jobs.

Under this kind of wind and sound, the number of sales has fallen further, and it is currently difficult for Apple to ride the tiger, and it is expected that its original price reduction plan has been put on hold.

The specific further actions will be discussed in person in the United States. ”

After receiving Larry Page's reply, Gu Mojie immediately began to arrange his travel plan. This trip to the United States is estimated to take a lot of days, because not only to deal with Android's plan to snipe Apple, but also to deal with the acquisition of Steven's "Fire Fist" company, maybe also to investigate some other investment plans, there are still a lot of things.

"Sister Xiaoru, help me take a look at the foreign affairs of the group's subsidiaries that I have to deal with personally in the past few months? Calculate how long I can stay in the U.S. at the latest. ”

Ye Minru had already made multiple sets of spare itinerary arrangements for Gu Mojie, and she didn't need to check the information, and when she received Gu Mojie's internal call, she immediately reported confidently: "Last month, the standard and standard number of JÙ card products of Chuyin Intelligence have been listed in the Philippines and Indonesia at the same time, and the current volume of goods is very stable. In the near future, there are no major issues that you have to deal with personally.

However, during the November Golden Week, mobile phones will also be introduced simultaneously with the operators of the above two countries, and I heard that Uncle Fei is still developing the operator relationship in Malaysia, and maybe he will join in at that time. This project is relatively large, and it would be better if you could return to your home country in person when the time comes.

Moreover, the 11th Golden Week is also the official launch time of the company's Unicom/Telecom version of the 'Feixin' product - 'First Meeting', which involves some later business contacts with China Telecom and China Unicom Corporation, and you also need to come forward in person to be good enough.

In addition, in October, we will also cut the ribbon in the park in Nanhui District, Hujiang City, and Cardinal Qi will also appear in person, so you had better go there - the Central Government has already revealed the news, and Cardinal Qi will end his term of firefighting in Hujiang and be transferred to the capital before the end of October. ”

"Shhh I'm going to come before eleven, it's done! Gu Mojie gasped when he heard this, and stopped Ye Minru from continuing to render.

Obviously, if he doesn't come back in October, he will end badly. Therefore, even if the things on the US side are not finished by then, they can only be thrown away first.

Before hanging up the phone, Gu Mojie thought for a while, and finally added a question: "Cardinal Qi's ...... Position, is there any rumor at present? Is there a channel to inquire. ”

Ye Minru: "I heard that after entering Beijing, I will first work as a cardinal for half a year, and then ...... After the two sessions next year, it will become a vice-president. ”

Gu Mojie hung up the phone, crossed his fingers and calculated, now that it is late August, he can stay in the United States for 40 days at most.

In '07, there was already an online booking business, and he opened his browser and checked the flight records. When I was about to place an order, I suddenly felt inexplicably moved in my heart, and I couldn't remember anything, so I just held my mobile phone and was stunned.

Seeing that it's already time to get off work, it's better to book tickets tomorrow.

……

At the same time, Osaka's old castle south ward, Dotonbori.

The time in Japan is an hour earlier than the time in China, so when Gu Mojie gets off work, it is already full of lights in Osaka.

"Hori" means canal or canal in Japanese. "Dotonbori" is an urban canal dug by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Warring States period when he repaired Osaka Castle, and asked the wealthy merchant Yasui Doton. (PS: It's the one in "Taiko Aspiration 5" who lives in the Stone Mountain Imperial Workshop and has architectural skills.) )

After more than 300 years, the canal has long lost its logistics value; The area around Dotonbori has become a famous food street in Osaka, especially around Shinsaibashi, where you can eat all kinds of food from all over Japan.

Around August 20th, it is the hottest time of the year, and even the izakaya is rarely seen drinking people, and they use other cold drinks to ward off the heat.

In a private dining pavilion, in the top box, there are three girls. If you know a little bit about the entertainment industry, you will definitely be dumbfounded by the luxurious lineup at this table: these three girls are Kwon Boa, Lee Hyori and Matsuura Yami.

Kwon Bo-a came to Osaka to hold a "Biennial Flower" concert.

Lee Hyo-ri and Matsuura happened to be on vacation to say goodbye to their good sister, and by the way, they would accompany her for a few days - after this round of concert tours, Bao'er will be sent by S-M to open up the North American market, laying a precursor for the company's follow-up singing and dancing artists to develop in the North American market and expand the customer base.

Bao'er has been popular for all these years, and it is impossible to say that insiders are not jealous of her. However, things gather by like, relatively speaking, among those female singers who are also at the level of a generation of divas and are not badly popular, it is easier to form close friends who cherish each other. This is the case with Lee Hyo-ri and Ayama Matsuura.

At the dinner table, Bao'er replaced the wine with coffee and poured a glass of iced latte. The whole person is like a decadent red panda, resting his chin on the table, and the only soft flesh on his cheeks is spread out a few centimeters to both sides, which is simply self-destructing.

Sister Lee Hyo-ri shook her while persuading her to drink slowly and not to spoil her throat.

Boa debuted on August 27, 00, and it will be the 7th anniversary of her debut in a week. Considering that this year is a farewell work, the company gritted its teeth and arranged six sessions. From Fukuoka to Hiroshima, Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo. Starting on August 8 and ending on August 27 for the seventh anniversary, each stop lasted only three or four days, which can be described as very stressful and tiring.

As a result, Kobe Station, the third stop that had just ended, hit the streets.

The company rented a venue of more than 20,000 people and sold tickets for less than 15,000 people – and a 70 percent attendance rate for other singers was not considered a hit. But as a little diva who has been the total sales champion for several years, this is really a blow.

On the night of the end of Kobe Station, in order to be in a hurry, Bao'er rushed to Osaka, which was only a hundred miles away, overnight to stay - so that she could squeeze out a whole day of rest the next day.

So, they appeared at this restaurant in Dotonbori Shinsaibashi and 'quietly licked their wounds'.

"Hyorioni, Amioni, do you think I'm going to be angry? I thought I wanted to leave a better ending here before I went to the United States, but as a result, woo woo woo ......"

Obviously it was just the coffee she was drinking, but Bao'er was a little dazed, as if she had drunk wine.

Lee Hyori doesn't understand the Japanese market, so it's hard to persuade him on this issue. However, Matsuura Ami and Quan Baoer were both arranged by Aibex Company (Japan's associate brokerage company), and they comforted the little sister at the moment:

"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's all the company's bad schedule - Kobe is so close to Osaka, and it's scheduled on Wednesday night, so it's normal for there to be few fans. If you want to see your fans, they must all be crowded with this one the day after tomorrow~Come on~"

"I hope so. I knew that when I had six games, I should have raised my objections. This is a waste of work, and there is definitely no money at all. Bao'er looked a little better, fiddling with her phone alone, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

For a concert, if the attendance rate is less than 70%, the most it is to write off the cost and feed the team.

Seeing that Bao'er hadn't completely recovered from the blow, Ami felt that it would be better to change the topic, so she immediately gossiped narrowly: "You are too workaholic, and then when you are frustrated, you will be depressed." If you want me to see it, you should have some other fun thinking about it - why don't you let Sister Xiaoli introduce you to some more male friends? ”

"Go--they're sad and ignore you." Bao'er scratched Ami's pink fist in disagreement, but her face broke into a smile.

Li Xiaoli, who had been drinking quietly before, did not follow, and quipped: "I don't dare to introduce men to her!" Bao'er sauce has a high vision - two years ago, I introduced her to the handsome actor Lee Junji, and she was good, and she hinted that she didn't like people after just a few phone calls. I don't even have the face to go back to see Lee Jun-gi now. If I tossed this kind of thing a few times, my own male friends would all be offended by her. ”

Bao'er listened, refilled the coffee, and said, "Sister Xiaoli, wasn't it young at that time, and I didn't know what kind of man I was looking for." Anyway, I don't need your help in the future, and you don't have to worry about offending people again. (To be continued)).
