When the plane landed at the San Francisco airport, it was really dusk, and those golden sunshines were like a huge net in the sky, enveloping this world in a magnificent and magnificent way.

Stepping out of the airport and getting into the taxi, Zhao Qi enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the sunset very leisurely. The who was driving the car said something to Su Bei, Su Bei ignored him, he was not embarrassed, and his face was not ordinarily thick. In the end, after Tie Zhu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "If you are blind, I will pinch your eggs", the nigger finally shut up, with a kind and kind attitude, like a quiet ugly man. It seems that Chinese is also a very easy language to understand, at least, this understands the meaning of the iron pillar words very well.

Today, August 7th, the day before Apple's launch.

Zhao Qi took Su Bei to attend the press conference, and naturally he also brought the iron pillar, since the last trip to the East China Sea, Zhao Qi has become more and more careful, and when he goes to some distant places, he will bring the iron pillar. If you talk about heads-up, Zhao Qi is not inferior to Iron Pillar, but when it comes to professionalism, he is far inferior to Iron Pillar, as a hunter, Zhao Qi is good at mountains and forests, and as a special scout, Iron Pillar is good at all terrains, and the city is no exception.

"Half an hour to the hotel we booked, from which it was only a fifty minute drive to Parkview Green Arts Center. It's close, at least, in San Francisco. Su Bei took the tablet and checked the map and related information, and reported to Zhao Qi.

"Uh-huh." Zhao Qi was lying in the back seat, a little distracted.

"You've said that Apple's product updates are toothpaste-like, so why should we come to their launch? In my opinion. I can't imagine anything that could threaten the Dragonclaw phone after a small update of the iPhone 3G. ”

"Squeeze toothpaste-style updates. It's just that they have a technological lead. It's just for the sake of maximizing profits. But when they are threatened, the reaction is very different. The discontinuation of the MacBook and the advent of the MacBook Air illustrate this point. ”

"You're saying they're going to launch something that goes beyond the Dragon's Claw phone this time? That's not realistic, is it? It's only two months, that's too short! ”

"Because they have Steve Jobs."

"What are you looking at?" Su Bei thought about it for a while, and didn't continue the topic just now, but was curious why Zhao Qi kept looking out the window.

"Watching the sunset over San Francisco." Zhao Qidao.

"Uh...... You also have such a literate side? ”

"This is not Wenqing. It's just that the sunset in San Francisco is not the sunrise in Shudu? Their sunset is our sunrise. ”

"It seems that now is indeed almost the time of dawn in Xishu."

Su Bei didn't know if Zhao Qi's words meant what she understood, but she was willing to believe that it meant that. In her opinion, Zhao Qi seemed to predict the decline of the West and the rise of the East.

……

Apple's press conference opened at 10 a.m. on August 8, which is 1 a.m. Beijing time on August 9.

Half an hour before the launch. Zhao Qi took Su Bie and Tie Zhu to the Parkview Green Art Center. Due to the sudden emergence of Dragon Claw Technology, and it is rumored that the advanced nature of Dragon Claw products directly led to the postponement of Apple's press conference. Therefore, Zhao Qi, the boss of Dragon Claw, was "attacked" by the media present with long guns and short cannons.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you come to Apple's press conference?"

"It's easy, because I got an invitation."

"No, Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood my question. I mean you mocked Microsoft, rejected Google, why are you so kind to Apple? ”

"I'm not just kind to Apple, all three companies are great and respectable. But Apple didn't want to encroach on and control us, and sent me a friendly invitation, which is a sign of respect for us, and I just give them the same respect. ”

"You mean that Microsoft offered to provide the system technology for free to Dragonclaw in order to control you? Google wants to buy your company, but it also wants to control you? ”

"The development of an intelligent system independent of Apple and Android was originally a reaction of Dragon Claw Technology that did not want to be technically controlled by others. IF WE NEEDED MICROSOFT SUPPORT, WE COULD HAVE USED LINUX LIKE A NETBOOK, BUT WE DIDN'T, WE JUST INSTALLED A LINUX-BASED WORKBENCH. Because, we know that Microsoft systems are definitely not suitable for tablets! It's a stupid idea. As for whether Google's acquisition intention is for control, I don't think I need to say anything, how can Dragon Claw be sold to an opponent who is far behind in technology and concept? It's not about money, it's about not being responsible for technology! ”

I have to say that in the past two months, the sales of dragon claws in the world have been hot, and the quality, performance and user experience are all superior, coupled with the fact that Sony Ai was embarrassed by Zhao Qi's fierce counterattack and withdrew from the Chinese market, which has invisibly elevated the status of Zhao Qi and Dragon Claw Technology. Now, most foreign media are no longer picking and targeting at will, but looking up with a cautious look.

As a translator, Su Bei is also much more relaxed now, unlike Luo Ximeng who was always cold to the reporter who was picky.

"Mr. Zhao Qi, is it possible for you to cooperate with Apple, as far as I know, you don't have a physical store, and you rely on online sales. Apple's physical stores are all over the world, will you cooperate with Apple to sell dragon claw products in Apple's stores? ”

"Your offer is good, of course I do, but Jobs will kill you."

"Hehe, it's because we know that Apple has always been a lone ranger and doesn't want to work with other competitors, so we're curious about it. However, as far as we know about Apple, Apple never admits that it will be left behind, which means that they are likely to launch products that go beyond the dragon's claws at this conference, what do you think about this? ”

"That's good! There is competition to make progress. ”

Do you really think so? Aren't you afraid of competition? After all, once Apple's product performance surpasses that of Dragon Claw, it means that the previous popularity of Dragon Claw will be gone. At that time, Apple not only had a technical advantage over your dragon claw technology, but also a strong brand advantage. ”

"If Mr. Jobs can lead Apple to make a better product than the dragon claw phone and tablet, of course I will curse him, this is robbing me of money! However, as an atheist, I don't believe that curses work, so I can only accept reality. However, Dragon Claw Technology has never been afraid of competition, they can make more advanced products than us, but we will return the color immediately! This is Dragon Claw Technology. So, for consumers, that's actually a good thing. ”

"You're so optimistic! According to the information we have obtained, Apple has really made significant adjustments to the product by postponing the press conference for two months at a huge risk, and it is likely that it is aimed at Dragon Claw Technology. ”

"Oh? You mean, Jobs invited me to come for a demonstration? ”

"Isn't that possible?"

"Perhaps! But we welcome! Again, we are not afraid of the challenge of the excellent, but we reject the mediocrity. ”

"Can you predict what Apple is going to launch?"

"I don't know much about Apple."

"But you're a grader in this area, your company has the most advanced and best-selling products at the moment, and is there anyone better suited to language Apple's products than you?"

"Okay, let me count my fingers......"

Zhao Qi dressed up as a god stick with a sense of variety and posed as a fairy.

The media are no strangers to Zhao Qi, and they have already turned over his experience, so they naturally know that this guy used to tell fortunes to people, and they will smile when they see him joking like this. In the eyes of many, this nineteen-year-old young man is a very lively businessman, neither in character nor in thought, which is very different from the traditional Chinese businessman, and also makes Westerners more fond of it, at least not too far away.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed...... Zhao Qi sighed.

"It's not good to translate, don't pretend, just talk about things!" Su Bei glanced at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi glared at Su Bei: "Tell them that in addition to the updated Apple all-in-one machines and laptops that squeeze toothpaste, the focus of Apple's launch this time will be mobile phones and tablets." ”

"Apple will launch a new phone, and everyone has expected it! We don't think Apple will launch a tablet, though. Because, Apple is rumored to be launching an 11.6-inch version of the MacBook Air, which is used to compete with the Dragon Claw tablet, so they will not launch a tablet. ”

"No matter how small the MacBook Air is, it's still a laptop. They're definitely going to roll out the tablet, and it's still an all-metal case, just like a phone. ”

"How can you be so sure? It's just because of the success of the Dragon's Claw product, so, do you think Apple will imitate you? Are phones and tablets metal enclosures? ”

"Not because of imitation of us, but because Apple already has a successful precedent for all-metal casings."

"So, do you think Apple's new products will surpass yours? Will it have an impact on Dragon Claw Technology's products? ”

"There is no doubt that their products cannot surpass those of Dragon Claw Technology! This is not to say that Apple is inferior to us, but the current chip technology and screen technology, etc., can not make better products, and the products of Dragon Claw Technology are a limit! However, it is undeniable that Apple's new products are likely to affect us, and my girlfriend is an apple fan! Although her own company also produces electronic products, she is really an apple fan, and I don't even know if she will use Apple products or dragon claw products in the future. ”

Zhao Qi's self-deprecation once again attracted good-natured laughter from media reporters.

"Of course, I will do everything possible to improve the Dragon Claw product and make it unique beyond its peers! In this way, she will inevitably choose the dragon's claw, which is true for her, and it is also true for other consumers. So, in the face of competition, we will never back down! ”

The interview was not long, and it was quite friendly, and the reporters were satisfied with Zhao Qi's cooperation and left soon because the press conference began.

The lights dimmed, and Jobs walked onto the stage in that black cardigan.

Zhao Qi had seen such a scene many times in the technology tree, but he knew that this time history had already gone on a fork in the road, and he couldn't predict it! (To be continued......)
