Chapter 75: Everyone is in danger
Although it has been past the end of work, Cook is still working overtime to analyze Apple's sales data for the last quarter.
Affected by the rise of China's domestic mobile phones, Apple's market share in China has plummeted, but with a good reputation, Apple can still stabilize its position in the global market. Until the next mobile phone revolution window arrives, Cook is confident that Apple will maintain its position in the global market.
But where is the next cell phone revolution window? Huaguo's mobile phone manufacturers have not been found, and Apple has not found it.
Cancel the headphones? Mouth or facial recognition mode? Or maybe it's the hot full-screen design that everyone is hyping up?
These gimmicks are okay, but Cook knows that none of them are the next window of change in mobile phone technology.
Cook bets on artificial intelligence and virtual reality in the window of technological change, but at the current level of technology, it is not satisfactory, and at least in recent years, it will not fundamentally change the basic functions of existing mobile phones.
More than a month ago, Cook also saw a paper on carbon crystal batteries in the journal Nature, and he felt that if electronic products such as mobile phones wanted to make major changes, batteries that have been complained about by consumers would definitely be a breakthrough in the future.
But a paper is a paper after all, and the concept of human time travel can also be published. Theory is one thing, practice is the same thing, and from the laboratory to civilian use, it has to face problems such as cost, mass production, and so on. Cook's rough estimate is that it will take at least 30 years for carbon crystalline batteries to enter the market, so it is not taken seriously.
Unexpectedly, it was only a month and a half, and Huaguo held a press conference to say that carbon crystal batteries could be mass-produced.
Cook thought in his heart, if the carbon crystal battery is used in Huaguo mobile phones, then the entire mobile phone and even the electronics industry will be the most completely subverted, will Apple be so lucky at that time?
He doesn't think that a smooth IOS system can be more tempting than never having to charge, and the gap between the smoothness of Android phones and ios is getting smaller and smaller.
If in the future, Huaguo's mobile phones are equipped with carbon crystal batteries, and Apple is rejected, then ......
Cook felt cold behind his back, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't care that his technical team had already taken a break from work, so he hurriedly called them to come back to work.
"Look for last month's Nature Energy magazine, which has a paper on carbon crystalline cells, and you do an analysis report."
After arranging the work here, Cook immediately used Facebook to contact his friend who is a physics professor at Stanford University and asked him about carbon crystal cell technology.
From a friend, Cook got the news that carbon crystal cell technology is theoretically feasible, and Chen Nuo's paper is perfect, but there are many technical difficulties, such as the cost of carbon crystal and C14 manufacturing.
Cook couldn't sit still anymore, and he was going to go to Jiangcheng in person, preferably to get a carbon crystal battery.
"Ellie, yes, it's me, I'll book me a ticket to China right away. No, no, no, don't go to Yanjing, don't go to Shanghai, go to Jiangcheng! What the? If there is no direct flight to Jiangcheng, then book me to Shanghai, notify the Greater China headquarters, and ask them to send someone to pick up the airport, and go directly to Jiangcheng after pick-up! ”
"That's right! Make an appointment with Bluestar Technology, and we say that we are interested in cooperating with them. Don't have a contact information for Bluestar Technology?! Oh, God! Me neither! This is a newly established company, you should find someone to understand it for me immediately! ”
Yanjing, Kwon Guixian, president of Samsung Greater China, also inadvertently got the news of the release of the carbon crystal battery on his mobile phone, and the sensitivity of his profession made him realize that this matter was extraordinary.
If carbon-based batteries are really mass-produced, then the days of Samsung's batteries, which have been exploding last year, ......
Quan Guixian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked the people from the Jiangcheng branch to go to Bluestar Technology to understand the situation, and he forwarded the news to the headquarters of Stick Country Samsung.
……
In the Jiangcheng Academic Hall, Chen Nuo's press conference has just ended.
Everyone was still engaged in a heated discussion, immersed in the wonderful fantasy of the future of carbon crystal batteries.
"Goodbye, power bank, goodbye, two charges a day."
"In the future, I don't have to carry a power bank or look for a plug everywhere when I go out on a trip!"
"This time the domestic battery is going to beat the world, and in the future, consumers will only buy mobile phones with carbon crystal batteries."
"I have a bold guess that if the voltage of the carbon crystal battery is enough, in addition to mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, it can be used in other household devices, such as TVs or something!"
"Hahaha! If you have enough brains, you can apply to be a consultant at Bluestar Technology! ”
The reporters have sorted out Chen Nuo's complete speech, and no one will doubt that tomorrow's front-page headlines must be Bluestar Technology!
Backstage in the academic hall, Fortune magazine reporter Xiaowen is undoubtedly the luckiest, she is qualified to interview Chen Nuo alone.
Chen Nuo first expressed his apologies: "I was very busy some time ago, and I didn't accept your interview until today, so I'm embarrassed. ”
Xiaowen said excitedly: "It's okay, it's okay! Published a paper in the journal Nature and did experiments on carbon crystal cells! I'm lucky to be able to interview you. Mr. Chen Nuo, may I ask you a few questions now? ”
Xiaowen: "The first question, the consumer base of microbial cleaning mud has always been very large, but the supply of Bluestar Daily Chemical in this area seems to be insufficient, do you have any solutions?" ”
Chen Nuo: "A good product will not be won by quantity, at present our production is not able to meet the needs of everyone, but we are looking for ways to improve, I believe that next spring, the output of microbial cleaning mud will have a greater increase." In addition, we will not give up quality because we are chasing production, and Bluestar guarantees that every bottle of microbial cleaning mud can bring the best experience to consumers. ”
Xiaowen continued to ask: "Bluestar Daily Chemical is making skin care products, but you have released a carbon crystal battery this time, what do you think, is there a connection between the products of the two different industries?" ”
Chen Nuo: "I used to do computer chip development, to be precise, the research and development of carbon crystal batteries is my business, if there is any connection between the two, I think it should be the products of Bluestar Technology will be greatly convenient for human life, we aim to create a better new era for everyone!" ”
Xiaowen: "The last question, now the international mobile phone competition tends to be white, China has Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, Meizu and other state-owned brands, in addition to Apple and Samsung have also been occupying the first and second place in the global mobile phone market share, the emergence of carbon crystal batteries will definitely change the pattern of the mobile phone market." Whether Bluestar Technology intends to cooperate with domestic mobile phones first or with domestic and foreign mobile phone products at the same time. Because you know that your company's priorities are likely to change the landscape of the entire mobile phone market. ”
Chen Nuo: "Hahaha, this question is very tricky. I am a native of Huaguo, and under similar conditions, Bluestar Technology will give priority to Huaguo Company, but I always believe that excellent technology products should benefit the whole world. ”
Xiaowen: "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chen, for accepting our interview. ”
In the Bluestar Technology Factory, the high-quality students are excited to watch the media reports! They are glad that they stayed, and they can't believe that they are really producing carbon crystal batteries!
