For the electronic product in front of him, which has just been born and is still in the most rudimentary state, Link's plan is entrusted to this thing.

After thinking about it, Link suddenly asked, "Boss Qiao, I don't know how long the iPhone will be until it takes shape?" When will it be ready for mass production? ”

This is what Link is most concerned about, he is not engaged in technology, and when he will go public is what he should be concerned about.

Jobs thought for a while, and then muttered in order to reply: "Although the iPhone has left the laboratory, it will be at least half a year before it is formed, and it will take at least half a year to wait for mass production." ”

"In other words, there's still a year left?"

Jobs nodded, he certainly understood why Link was asking. No matter how perfect the iPhone is and how much it surpasses this era, as long as it is really listed, it can become real money.

Jobs originally thought that Link was too slow, but when he saw the other party, he suddenly nodded solemnly: "If that's the case, then time should be enough." ”

"Enough?" Jobs looked at him suspiciously: "What time is enough?" ”

"Let's put it this way." Link casually sat on a chair next to him, stared into the other party's eyes and said, "We can understand the iPhone as a computer, think about it, what is the purpose of a computer without software?" ”

Jobs also suddenly realized: "Before your iPhone goes on the market, you must have enough apps on your iPhone?" ”

As the founder of Apple, how could Steve Jobs not think of this? Now that I heard Link mention it, I couldn't help but look heavy.

"It's only been a year, where are we going to get so many apps? And also. What kind of program should be done to make the user like? ”

Thinking about this problem, Jobs also found it to be a big problem. The iPhone alone is not enough, according to Link's previous vision, the iPhone is not just a phone that can make phone calls, it is also a mobile terminal and Internet device.

Suddenly, Jobs raised his eyebrows again. It was as if something had come to mind again: "Internet access? Then we need to have an internet connection. ”

Thinking about it this way, Jobs suddenly found that there were still many questions slowly appearing in his mind.

"I'm still thinking too simply."

See the way he sighs. Link smiled: "Network, I'll solve it." A telecommunications company has already been acquired, and a contract with Ike Parker Aerospace has been negotiated for several months, and three geostationary satellites with global coverage are being manufactured. None of this is a problem. ”

Jobs, however, has long since become sluggish. As if he couldn't believe it, he looked at Link in front of him.

He ...... He had already prepared so much? How much investment does that have to be? Three geostationary satellites? Oh my God! ”

For some reason, Jobs suddenly had a very strange thought: "Why is he so concerned?" He seems to have a big idea for the iPhone, but why did he tell me about this amazing idea? Don't...... He thinks that the value of the iPhone itself can't make him look at it anyway? ”

When the idea began to arise, the more Jobs thought about it, the more possible it became. Especially when I think of the beginning, Link only asked for the indefinite operation of the 'Apple Store' in exchange for the design idea of the iPhone.

Now I think of what he just said, telecommunications companies. Globally geostationary satellites, aren't they all paving the way for the 'Apple Store'?

"But...... No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely. Jobs looked at Link as he leaned back in his seat. While contemplating his eyebrows, he pondered: "Everything about the iPhone is in the hands of Apple, whether it is the future sales of parts, or the iOS system that has just been tested, this is where the iPhone makes money." There is also the sale of the iPhone itself, which is even more unimaginable money. ”

"Where did his faith come from?"

No matter how much Jobs thought, he could never understand the original intention of Link's approach.

Actually, Link's idea is very simple. He hates thankless work!

Although the sales of the iPhone itself can indeed bring a lot of profits to Apple, it will take a long time

First of all, you have to open up the market for the iPhone, right? You have to have a directly managed store, right? The amount involved is quite complex and enormous.

At the very least, the first two generations of iPhone models will not be able to make a profit for Apple. Even if you make a profit, you have to invest all in new marketing.

The process is long, time-consuming, laborious, and slow-to-be, all of which are reasons why Link is reluctant to spend money on developing and manufacturing the iPhone himself.

"Let's let Jobs go to trouble, when he finishes developing the market for the iPhone, I can sit back and wait to collect the money, hehe."

To put it bluntly, he is just a person engaged in the media, and the media channel is what he cares about.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to the iPhone is because the birth of the iPhone will create a new media field. And this field is still completely closed, and whoever owns the 'Apple Store' will master this field.

That's why he chose the iPhone instead of the Android model.

The media channels of the Android model are completely open, and anyone can do it, which is destined to make no one really the big brother in this industry.

But the iPhone is completely different, this is a completely new 'magic machine', from the beginning of the design of all the profitable places, all in the hands of Apple itself.

It's just that now they don't have the 'Apple Store', which has long been kept in Link's safe.

"That's it, Boss Qiao, the birth of the iPhone will definitely make Apple usher in a new life. As for me, it's time to go back now. I'm just here to take a look. ”

Speaking of this, Link suddenly smiled: "Boss Joe, the iphone belongs to you." You're the one who designed it, and Apple is where it started. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Jobs was suddenly stunned, and his old face turned red instantly. He could hear the sarcasm in Link's words, and Link's meaning was obvious. I do make a lot of money because of the birth of the iPhone. However, even the iPhone was given to you, and you still don't allow others to share a little cake?

Until the time Link left. Only then did Jobs gradually return to a state of calm.

"When it's time to share the cake, will he just share a little bit? Still is...... More? ”

As for what Jobs thought, Link didn't care. He doesn't sneak around anything. If you want to do it, you can do it in the open.

Even the idea of the iPhone, he can give Jobs, if it weren't for the other party's ambitions. If you want to fully grasp the entire chain of the iPhone. Link wouldn't be deliberately sarcastic about him.

"Lao Tzu is so generous, isn't it just to make some money, look at what your old face has blackened, your whole family."

It wasn't until Link returned to New York that he was still scolding in his heart.

As soon as he returned to the company, Fat Jack hurriedly ran over: "Little boss, where have you been?" I couldn't find you anywhere, and I thought you had been kidnapped to Africa. ”

"Get out!" Link glared at him. Link didn't pay much attention to his teasing. Instead, he began to command: "First thing, release the news now, that the female number one and female number two of "Twilight" have been selected. The second thing......"

He glanced at the fat man Jack and said, "The second thing is a bit complicated, and I can't figure it out for a while, so you can first notify the major mobile phone software manufacturers and tell them that I will cooperate with them, and there will be a lot of money to be made." Apple will take care of the rest. ”

For iPhone apps, which are commonly known as apps, Link can't solve it all by himself. All he has to do is cultivate the industry and firmly grasp this field in his own hands.

Only with more companies and people involved, can this field develop better.

"Yes, little boss, do you have any other orders?"

Link thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, let Old Polk be responsible for contacting Apple, let his subordinates design a 'meager app' on the mobile terminal, and let him talk to Jobs about specific things." ”

Although Fat Jack didn't understand a little and didn't understand what mobile terminals and apps were, he still did it.

When Fat Jack contacted the major mobile phone software manufacturers, the other party's response was mediocre. Although these manufacturers are engaged in mobile phone software, they are basically a department under the major mobile phone manufacturers.

Mobile phones in today's era, the function is still simple and pitiful, although you can also surf the Internet, but you can only simply browse the web, and it is not a 'mobile terminal' at all.

When they heard that Link was looking for them to cooperate, and the other party also claimed to make money, although these people were not optimistic about the field of mobile phone software, because they themselves were in this industry, of course, they knew best.

However, Link's name is quite loud, and he said that if there is money to be made, then it will certainly not be wrong.

Therefore, although the major mobile phone software manufacturers are still skeptical, they finally agreed to his request for cooperation and contacted Apple one after another.

When Jobs received a lot of requests for cooperation, he understood Link's huge appeal. These mobile phone software manufacturers don't even know what the iPhone and iOS system platforms are, and they came in a hurry just because of Link's words, how can this not shock him?

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that Link has always had an indirect influence on all walks of life.

People in the financial industry feel it the most, which also makes people in other industries yearn for Fang Link's superb methods. That's why these mobile phone software vendors react in this way.

After Link did this, he refocused on the planning of "Twilight", because the iPhone wanted to be released, and it was still early. (To be continued......)
