Chapter 82: Inform the world about our results
In mid-September 2018, iPhone8 and iPhone8plus were released globally, which was severely impacted by the green leaf mobile phone, and the sales of the IP8 series products fell off a cliff. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A month after the phone's release, Cook looked at the sales statistics and couldn't sleep. For a whole month, less than 1 million IP8 series phones were sold, which is a dismal figure that has not been seen since IP4.
Anything that starts again, there is always an end. At a price point above $700, Apple has lost out to the new Greenleaf phones in the high-end segment, just as Apple beat the old Nokia more than a decade ago.
Competition is so ruthless and cruel!
Cook is well aware that IP8 is a turning point for Apple, and from this day on, Apple is still a giant in the mobile phone industry, but it is not necessarily the leader anymore. Cook was angry and uncomfortable with this result, but still chose to accept it helplessly.
Even if he accepted it, Cook silently swore that he would never let Apple repeat the mistakes of Nokia!
Someone within the company has suggested that Cook reduce the price of IP8 series mobile phones, and now it is obviously impossible to compete with Green Leaf Company at the high-end, but if the price is reduced, it will be another group of consumers, and Apple's advantage will be expanded, although the profit of each mobile phone will be reduced, but the sales will be guaranteed to a certain extent.
Cook resolutely denied this approach, which will completely ruin the image of Apple's high-end mobile phones, and become a second-rate mobile phone manufacturer! You must know that the IP8 is Apple's flagship phone, not a low-end series like the IP7SE!
THANKFULLY, BEFORE THE IP8 SERIES SALES PLUMMETED, THERE WAS ALREADY SAMSUNG'S NOTE9 BACKING, SO COOK DIDN'T FEEL ALONE. He felt even more fortunate that he had reached a contract with the Kaos Company, and he had to survive this year, just survive this year.
This winter is destined to be extremely cold for Apple......
California's spaceship headquarters has entered the bitter cold, but it is still hot for the entire mobile phone market, and the senior media has made strict calculations on the sales of green leaf mobile phones, and by September next year, it will probably reach about 100 million units!
100 million units! Just a model phone, not a series! This kind of pride has only been touched by Apple and Samsung.
Just as the media began to focus all their shots and writing on the success of the green leaf mobile phone, when the world's major mobile phone manufacturers thought of countermeasures to deal with the surging green leaves, when the people of the Republic were proud of their national brands, and when Lenovo was still intoxicated with this beautiful turnaround, Shen Huai no longer played with everyone.
At the end of the year, with the approval of the state's high-level officials, Chaos Creatures (Kaos) announced the results of research that will affect the course of human evolution in the future:
Chaos Organisms (CHAOS) has clinically demonstrated the possibility of human asexual reproduction, human Ino will produce sporangia under certain conditions, in which the complete human gene will be replicated and formed into spores after mitosis, and the spores carrying the complete human gene can eventually develop into embryos under certain conditions......
Kaos's statement was less than 200 words, but after a short period of calm of public opinion, it spread to the whole world like a nuclear bomb explosion!
Asexual reproduction! Spore multiplication!
The speed of the world's reaction has not kept up with the speed of Kaos's research!
Everyone rubbed their eyes and saw a few words more clearly: spores! Reproduction!
Humans can reproduce through spores?
Oh my God, this must be a fantasy story!
Shortly after Kaos released his scientific findings, China's authoritative scientific and technological journals Science China and Nature (Nature in the UK) quoted the research report of the chaotic creature Kaos.
Subsequently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a brief statement confirming Kaos's scientific achievements.
This is incredible!
Not just the entire scientific community, but the entire human world was a sensation!
Not a clone! It's spore reproduction! What's more, the phrase 'Chaos Creature 'has been clinically proven!' ’
Since the rapid development of cloning technology in the 60s of the last century, carp, cows, the most famous sheep Dolly, as well as pigs, monkeys and other animals have been cloned, but no human has ever been cloned!
Moreover, despite the fact that today's cloning technology is quite mature, the failure rate is quite high.
Dolly was born after 276 failed attempts, 70 calves were born after 9,000 attempts, and Prometea was born after 328 attempts.
Even if the cloning is successful, the congenital diseases that cannot be understood today are still plagued by cloning technology, such as Dolly the sheep suffering from arthritis at the age of 6, a third of the 70 calves dying at a young age, and countless failed cases of successful cloning of dogs and cats that could not grow normally.
As a result, human cloning, though a cliché, remains a distant dream.
Now, Kaos has succeeded! No, they are not using laboratory cloning technology yet, but natural spore reproduction! A safer and more natural way to reproduce asexually!
The domestic press of the Republic immediately paid attention to the great research results of Kaos.
"People's Daily" opened a special scientific and technological column, detailing Kaos's spore reproduction technology, and commented that this technology will be a milestone progress in the history of human development and will bring good news to mankind! The whole report is silent on whether it violates ethics and the law.
CCTV also made a brief comment on the first news item broadcast on the news network, pointing out that the Republic is the first country in the world to achieve asexual reproduction of human beings, and this great achievement is enough to change the history of human science and technology. (Silence on cloning)
Compared with the orthodox reports of authoritative media, online media are not polite.
UC Headlines: Shocking Kaos Achieves Asexual Reproduction, Spore Reproduction Technology Will Change Human Processes!
Sina Technology: Give me a spore and create a nation!
Sohu Headlines: Human spore reproduction technology was born, and from then on, children are single parents!
Phoenix News: Asexual reproduction technology has changed the world, and the legalization of homosexuality is no longer far away.
Tencent News: Kaos is high energy again, and the fact that the spores multiply or change the decline in the number of developed populations.
In a short period of time, the British journal "Nature" contacted the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Kaos, and after detailed confirmation, published a second article related to Shen Huai "Spore Reproduction", the difference is that this time it was written by the journal "Nature" itself, and analyzed the experimental process of Kaos through theoretical conjectures.
After the publication of the article in the journal Nature, the global media is finally not calm!
