Chapter 640: The Last Legacy (Happy New Year!) )
Year 2011.
It was a milestone year for the iPhone series.
As of October 2011, the global sales of iPhone 4S have exceeded an astonishing 50 million units, accounting for an astonishing 35% in China alone......
This is the first time in its history to occupy the first place in market share, and it is the first time to beat the old [Nokia] series of mobile phones and be crowned king.
[IPO] all the management, including everyone in the database, is very clear that the upper limit of the future of the iPhone 4S is definitely 70 million!
This is a new chapter in history.
It's also a brand new page.
In 2011, the IPO company also ushered in a "new change", from a company that was once on the verge of bankruptcy, with the iPhone series of mobile phones, transformed into the world's largest market capitalization company.
But......
For Jos, this result is still not satisfactory.
At that time, Android was still menacing......
………………………………
Starting in September of this year.
Jos is no longer working.
He can only lie in bed, spend his days with nutrient solutions, and occasionally sit up, but when he sits up, his whole body is extremely difficult.
While listening to the inside news of the [IPO] company, he remotely commanded various things.
This state lasted until late October......
His body became weaker and weaker, his whole body was almost so thin that only bones remained, and he could sit on the bed for half a day last month, but this month, he could only sit for an hour, and then he felt weak and had to continue to lie down.
During this period, old friend McCann. The library walked in and talked to him about the R&D arrangements for the [iPhone5] series......
Last year's iPhone 4S was released on February 18, and this year, the library also intends to adjust the iPhone 5 series to February 18 for official release.
But, McCann. The treasury is still nervous.
He started a business with Jos, the two sides have a clear division of labor, all the technology, one is the market, over the years, every iPhone series, Jos stands in front of the stage to host......
And this year, the doctor said that Jos's body can live until now, it is already a medical miracle, February 18, there is a high probability that he can't wait, if he can really wait, he can only wait in the hospital bed, watching TV......
"It's okay!"
"You can ......"
“……”
Mccann. Kusho talked to Jos a lot about the [IPO] company, and it also revealed a lot of concerns about the company's future.
When the [IPO] company loses the legend of Jos, no one knows where the future of the [IPO] will go. Kusuo himself doubted whether he could stand in the new era and continue to carry this banner.
Joss had a smile on his face and encouraged McCann over and over again. Library.
But wait for McCann. After Kusho left, Joss fell into an unprecedented panic in his heart, as if in the darkness, a pair of hands would come at any moment and drain his soul.
This sense of panic reminded him of the leakage of the appearance patent of the former iPhone series of mobile phones, and then slowly became suspicious.
Then there is the appearance of the other Apple 4S......
It looks exactly the same as the iPhone5 that was filed for the previous [IPO]!
Almost identical shell, people will not think about coincidences at all, you say that the designer of the [IPO] company copied the little-known Huaxia company?
How can it be?
With the fear of death, coupled with the gradual loss of control of the [IPO] company, the only thing Jos could think of was to find out the spy before the new [Phone5] came out.
In October, he had to pay more attention to the [IPO] situation, and he asked McCann. The library has withdrawn all the design teams of the previous series, and secretly set up an [iPhone5] team, which he operates remotely at all times, and personally selects suitable module samples from the hospital bed, often a little dissatisfied, he will be as angry as a tyrant.
His harshness in his criticism of the [iPhone5] series has almost reached a perverted level.
After doing this, he still felt that all this was not enough, and let people secretly investigate all the ups and downs of the [IPO] company, once he felt that something was slightly wrong, or suspected of having contact with the outside world designer, he immediately ordered someone to put it on hold and completely eliminate the R&D team......
This is the last chance in his life to participate in research and development.
The curtain call should be perfect, not with regret and reluctance to close your eyes.
October 26th.
The door to the hospital bed opened.
A middle-aged man named Jimmy silently walked into the hospital bed.
Jos opened his eyes, and when he saw Jimmy, he motioned for Jimmy to sit down.
Jimmy's eyes are complicated, with some sympathy for Jos, but also a little unwilling......
"iPhone5 series, what kind of mobile phone is it?"
"I don't know ......"
Jos looked at Jimmy, his weak body made his voice gradually dry and hoarse, but the look in his eyes made Jimmy very clear that this legendary figure had not lost his mind due to illness.
For a moment, Jimmy was suddenly disappointed: "When I learned that I was thrown out of the core of the design, I still didn't understand why I was not worthy of your trust......"
Jos had no words.
Jimmy continued to himself: "I have been following you to start a business a long, long time ago, I even regard you as an idol, we have gone from the 2G era, step by step to 2.5G, and then to 3G, our first generation of iPhone series touch screen mobile phones, changing the global mobile phone revolution, and then to the glory of iPhone4S, I have always dedicated my blood and spirit along the way...... Why can't I be trusted? ”
Several security guards from outside the hospital rushed over, but Joss shook his head and told the security guards not to do anything to Jimmy.
Jimmy's face became more and more bitter, and after seeing Joss's calm appearance, the chill in his heart became deeper and deeper.
"The iPhone series is the most important part of my life, he is the greatest honor in my life, and it is also the greatest meaning in my life...... Mr. Jos, I don't know how good people you have found, I just want to tell you that there are only two paths in front of me now, one way, to continue to follow the company and create greater glory, and the other way is to leave this [IPO] that I once admired, fanatized, and dedicated to, and then, jump into the abyss......"
Jimmy was emotional, but in the end, he never made any radical moves, instead, his eyes were full of hope, and he was going to fight for himself one last time.
Jos's weak body slowly leaned back on the bed.
His eyes were calm: "I trust all people, but I need to explain to some people......"
"So, I'm the one who confessed?" Jimmy's face grew ugly.
"Not only you, but all the engineers who have been involved in the design of the iPhone series and the process design of parts will be terminated from the research and development of [iPhone5]......"
"What if, that bullshit company in Huaxia, still comes up with the same appearance as the iPhone5?" Jimmy stared at Joss sharply.
When Jos heard this, his eyes gradually darkened, and then he shook his head, and instead of answering directly, he muttered to himself: "I, I'm dying, before I die, I'm going to give McCann. Mr. Kusho, who left behind a clean company and never believed in God, now prays to God every day, praying that I will live through October, through November, and until February...... Look at McCann. The moment Mr. Kusuo took the stage...... Jos coughed, then closed his eyes.
Jimmy looked at Jos, "What's our end?" You know McCann. What did the library tell us? Mr. Jos, do you know how serious the internal struggle is at the current [IPO]? The shadow of leaks has always hung over everyone's heads, everyone is like a spy, a criminal, everyone is careful to live, not only for themselves, but also for their colleagues...... Every one of us has never even traveled to China, let alone contacted any yellow people, and colleagues have started to report each other again......"
Then, he stared at Jos: "I don't know how I made you so distrustful......"
"Could it be that because I went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and happened to be photographed?"
"Is it because I went to see a "Seven Days to Kill" movie?"
"Could it be that just because I said that China's [Apple 4] has an interesting appearance?"
Jimmy said a flurry of words excitedly.
After saying that, when he saw that Jos shook his head and still didn't respond, he finally stood up.
"I'm leaving!" Jimmy walked out of the room.
When it was time to leave, he paused.
Jos lay back in bed, seemingly tired, and seemingly acquiescing, accepting the outcome.
Jimmy finally leaves the bed without saying a word and closes the door.
Wait until Jimmy leaves.
Joss then glanced in the direction Jimmy had left.
[iPhone 5] may be his last posthumous work, and he must treat it well.
………………………………
A year ago boomerang.
A year later, he returned to his side.
October 26th.
The scene of the [Southern California International Film Awards] was crowded with people......
And Zhang Sheng, through Berto. Abel, met a small, bespectacled American.
The American's name was Jimmy, and after the two shook hands, Jimmy stared at the Chinese man who made him lose his job, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, before, I hated you very much, but now, I want to know, what kind of means did you use to steal the secret ...... of the iPhone 4S?"
"Mr. Jimmy, I want to tell you that I never stole anyone's ideas, but your former company stole my ideas......"
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, not to mention the appearance patent, I want to know, some time ago, I would be on the road for some reason, and I met some Chinese young people inexplicably accosting me, almost every day, and even many, they are all walking people who pass through Mexico, and live by selling your pirated mobile phones...... Did you arrange these people? ”
"I've never cheated anyone...... Yes, I arranged it, but I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting all the employees of the [IPO] company...... I do it a lot, and I like to do it, and of course, if he trusts you enough, he can't suspect you, and I'm a villain......"
"I came to see you, I never wanted to cooperate with you, I wanted to set up my own mobile phone brand......"
"That's a good thing, I can license you some of my next phone appearance patents...... From Series 4 to Series 12, I have patents for them all! ”
“……”
When Jimmy heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
(Happy New Year, all the best, smooth sailing and good luck!) )
(No rest on New Year's Day!) )
(Ask for a ticket!) )
