January 29th.

2 o'clock in the afternoon.

in the hospital.

The smell of disinfectant water is unusually strong.

The nurse slowly lifted Jos's body out of the bed.

The muscles atrophy caused by calorie exertion, and no muscles can be seen in his buttocks, and his whole body seems to be a bone frame.

What is a very simple sitting action on weekdays is more like a luxury for Jos at this moment.

This morning, the pain suddenly spread densely around the body, as if every cell in the body was in pain.

But......

By the evening, the pain had gradually subsided, but he seemed to have lost control of his whole body, except for his mouth and eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were firmly fixed on the big screen in front of him.

On the big screen, it's the Yerba Buena Green Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

The lights flickered at the scene, countless people were cheering, and the excitement of countless people could be felt across the screen.

That is, a faith!

The memory seems to go back to many years ago.

Many years ago......

Wearing a black top and blue Levi's 501 jeans, he stepped onto the stage and took out the first-generation iPhone......

He swiped lightly......

To this day, there is still a trace of touch in my fingertips.

In a trance, his fingers trembled slightly.

In my ears, there seemed to be countless sounds of excitement and cheers, as well as the long-lasting screams......

on screen.

He watched as Kusho slowly walked to the center of the stage.

He saw his old friend smile at his fingertips.

Followed by......

"I'm sorry, but there is no Mr. Jos ...... today"

"But, I believe Mr. Jos is somewhere in the world, watching our iPhone 5 launch event......"

"Maybe, he'll curse in his heart and think I'm not wearing good clothes today, maybe, he'll laugh at the opening line, maybe, he'll kick my ass after the press conference......"

"But, no matter what, we're very proud of this company, and proud of all the teams who have worked hard to bring us all this innovation and keep us on the cutting edge of technology......"

"I'm even more proud to say that every product we've ever produced is a work of art, and they're all very good and leaders in the industry. The reason why MP3/MP4, cameras, ...... [IPOs] were at the forefront of the industry was because we were able to integrate everything perfectly together......"

“……”

In the hospital room.

Looking calm and humorous, Joss really wanted to kick Kusho's ass if he could.

Subsequently, he wanted to laugh, but at this moment, he found that he was deprived of even the qualification to laugh.

Sobbs rang out all around.

It was the voice of her assistant Weiss.

He wanted Viss not to cry, it wasn't a big deal, but he couldn't do anything.

He felt that his soul was imprisoned in a numb body, and he could only look at the screen in front of him.

………………………………

No matter what.

In 2012, the iPhone series of mobile phones is still one of the glory pursued by all young people.

1 o'clock in the morning.

Hundreds of millions of iPhone fans stayed in front of their computers to watch the iPhone 5 launch event through videos, Weibo graphics and live broadcasts.

Just a few hours ago, some of Zhang Sheng's managers had a meeting together.

Zhou Wen of [J&T Video] once suggested using means to block all the live videos of iPhone5.

Even, Liu Changyu also proposed that the series of words [and other words" be set to sensitive words that cannot be displayed......

At this moment, they [WeChat] have just reached the top, and if the display of the iPhone series is reduced, then the influence will be greatly reduced......

……

The former [IPO] company's ban on Zhang Sheng's software is vivid, and at this moment, when Zhang Sheng succeeds, it is reasonable to fight back.

But......

Zhang Sheng refused.

"Blocking means fear, and if we are afraid of the other person, then it means that we will never be able to get out of the cage we have set for ourselves......"

"Moreover, blocking is the most stupid means, and while blocking others, we are also blocking ourselves......"

Everyone's proposal was lightly rejected by Zhang Sheng with one sentence.

[Apple] in the office.

Ma Hongbo sat on the side, watching the press conference.

"Mr. Zhang, you say, will [iPhone5] copy us again? If it really is, our legal department has a job again. Ma Hongbo had a smile on his face.

"I don't know ......"

Zhang Sheng didn't laugh, just stared at McCann. Library.

When seeing McCann. After Kusuo took out a black [iPhone5] mobile phone, the smile on Ma Hongbo's face gradually disappeared.

After a long time: "He carried out rectification on the basis of our [appearance patent] ......"

Ma Hongbo's words were extremely unconfident, and when he saw that Zhang Sheng was still silent, he stopped speaking.

Quiescence......

Deathly silence.

The iPhone 5 is 7.6mm thick, which is 18% thinner than the 4S; Weighs 112g, which is 20% lighter than 4S......

In terms of volume, the iPhone5 is smaller than the previous generation, and the body color is still black and white.

But the appearance is different from any of the [appearance patents] applied for by Zhang Sheng, its appearance seems to have become more silky, and at the same time, it has become more rounded......

What surprised Zhang Sheng was ......

iPhone 5 not only looks different from any previous product, but also iphone 5 has a circle of silver fingerprint recognition around the front home button, and iphone 4S, and even the original world iPhone5 front home button does not have, at the same time, when introducing the processor used in the 5, Zhang Sheng silently looked at the processor......

Originally, I thought that they would use the A6 processor, and even, all the manufacturers thought it was A6, but the processor of the world's iPhone5 is a 64-bit dual-core Apple A7 processor.

Skip the A6 processor directly......

……

A parameter came to Zhang Sheng's mind.

Zhang Sheng pushed his glasses and realized that the iPhone5 configuration in this world is already the 5S configuration of the original world.

When the press conference reached the second half, Zhang Sheng stood up and walked not far away step by step.

Ma Hongbo also stood up.

"I received a message,[Taomi 4] mobile phone,It will be officially released tomorrow,The approximate parameters are our [Apple5]'s parameters,It also focuses on cost performance,Do we want to ......"

Although he knew the answer deep down, Ma Hongbo still walked over and asked again.

Zhang Sheng did not answer, but shook his head.

……………………………………

When the press conference is over.

The library rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.

...... in the hospital

Kusho saw Jos's body, which was originally immobile, was able to move.

Even deep in the throat, you can make a sound that is dry but slightly audible.

Kusho was thrilled, thinking it was a medical miracle.

But when the doctor saw this, he shook his head.

"This is the secretion of adrenaline and the release of adenosine triphosphate in cells......"

"What do you mean?"

"When the human body is faced with a serious health threat, the brain reacts quickly and initiates emergency plans to release this hormone that allows all parts of the body, including the cardiopulmonary and digestive systems, which are otherwise in decline, to gain energy in a short period of time, so that the patient shows temporary wakefulness or other positive symptoms......"

“……”

Kusuo was shocked.

Then he suppressed the fear in his heart.

He smiled when he saw Joss.

Joss smiled at him as well, as if he had gone back to the days when two young people started their own business together twenty years ago.

"Congratulations! The launch was a success! He said it very hard, trying to keep himself a little clearer.

"Thank you!"

Kusho sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his old friend lying on the hospital bed with the best posture.

After a brief exchange, Jos inquired about the Chinese man.

He laughed when he saw that the Huaxia man had never made any more noise, or had a lawsuit with them.

Although I still don't know, how did the other party know about their previous [appearance patent], maybe it was really their [IPO company] that borrowed from that Chinese person.

But......

None of that matters anymore.

"That Chinese did not take advantage of the popularity of our iPhone5 to launch their [Apple 5] ......"

Weiss couldn't bear to look at Joss anymore, but tried to say these words as calmly as she always did.

Jos nodded.

But then, his brow furrowed slightly.

Somehow, suddenly became more and more uneasy.

Kusu and Weiss were comforting him......

But he propped up his body and shook his head: "Never underestimate the details of any opponent......"

After he said this, he felt that his body seemed to be a little better again.

It was at this time......

Weishy's phone rang.

After answering the phone, Weiss glanced at the library with some hesitation.

Jos noticed this detail.

"What's wrong?"

"That Huaxia man, within his own company, sent an internal letter......"

"I'll look at ......"

“……”

Weiss placed her phone in front of Jos's line of sight.

Jos looked at the article.

[First of all, this internal letter, I wrote to my colleagues in [WeChat] ......]

[At this moment, we [.600 million, and the friend of the [micro chat] is only 158 million, in the field of payment, we have achieved great success, we have not only opened up the payment market, but also affected the lifestyle of countless people, 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years, when people recall the history of the Internet, we are forever remembered in the annals of history]

[This is a feat, and I am so proud of you!] 】

[However, we can't relax, let alone be complacent, the Internet is only a part of our journey, and we are still in the stage of babbling......]

[Secondly, I just watched the launch of the iPhone 5, and I felt shocked, but, at the same time, I felt a deep sense of disparity......]

[You say, it's uncomfortable, you say, it's desperate......]

[I have to remind myself that we are already lagging behind in the field of technology...... And we are being treated with unprecedented humiliation]

[Just now, Mr. Ma told me that there was something wrong with our Apple 5 processor, and we couldn't purchase the S5 processor of the [American Sky Group]...... We only have S4 ......]

[Mr. Ma also told me that in addition to the processor, we can't purchase other parts, we have upgraded the ...... compared to [Apple 4S]

[However, when I saw the other parts, I suddenly became more pessimistic......]

[It turns out that the [Apple] mobile phone that we are proud of is just a very simple, simple assembly plant without any core technology......]
