It's hard to say whether Apple will cancel WWDC.

But the celebration of the frontier office cannot be delayed.

Fang Nian took the notebook aside and said with a smile: "It's almost half past seven, everyone has had dinner." ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Fang Nian made a gesture: "Our own people will simply celebrate the successful conclusion of the conference." ”

"And celebrations?" Wen Ye muttered quietly.

Gu Yu's eyes rolled and he didn't follow.

Fang Nian said casually: "There are celebrations outside, what do you say." ”

“......”

But it's really just a simple celebration.

Fang Nian took a few bottles of wine from the small wine cellar of the villa.

A bottle of a more recent Romanée Conti.

A bottle of old Shaoxing old rice wine.

Compared with red wine, including white wine, Wu Fucheng personally prefers rice wine.

Fang Nian simply accompanied Wu Fucheng to make do with two sips, which was also a meaning.

"You actually hid rice wine?" Wu Fucheng was surprised, "I remember saying it casually a long time ago......"

Fang Nian smiled: "Don't be blindly moved, there is a little bit of wine hidden in the wine cellar." ”

"I went to get the wine just now, and suddenly I remembered that you mentioned it. ”

Wu Fucheng: "......"

Lu Weiyu next to him interjected with a smile: "Fang Nian has a very good memory, after all, he is the youngest here, and he has an age advantage!"

Wu Fucheng sighed slightly: "Mr. Fang, this is comparable to 'Zhou Gong Tufu'." ”

"If you really want to praise people, you have to say more words, don't just one, look lonely. Fang Nian said lazily.

Everyone laughed.

“......”

Guan Qiuhe opened the wine, sobered up the wine, and then poured wine for everyone.

After doing this, Mr. Guan is still somewhat elegant.

Well......

Very elegant.

Speaking of Fang Nian, this is really not a good memory, it is purely because he has known about it for too long in his previous life.

After all, Wu Fucheng said in his previous life that he liked to drink some rice wine.

On the contrary, Fang Nian rarely drank rice wine with Wu Fucheng in his previous life, and he usually drank noble rotten sweet white wine such as Dijin......

In addition to wine, Lu Weiyu also brought some snacks from the kitchen.

Drinking and snorting.

Fang Nian took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Time flies a little fast this year, Brother Wu is about to go all out to prepare for graduation, right?"

"That's not the case, it's just Friday's thesis defense. Wu Fucheng replied.

Wen Ye next to him interjected: "I think about Angkor's defense, let's go through the motions, Shangcai won't prevent you from being an excellent student who can't finish your studies." ”

"Indeed, they all appeared as rotating CEOs at the developer conference. Gu Yu added.

Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Wu can't finish his business with his own ability?"

"That's nature. ”

“......”

In the blink of an eye, only Wu Fucheng, the lone seedling in the front office, is a social person.

Everyone else has to be a school student.

Including Wen Ye and Gu Yu, the materials submitted to the Fudan MBA program naturally obtained the C-line admission qualifications.

Although the year of undergraduate graduation is not enough, it is not a failure to accommodate in terms of the face of the frontier.

As long as the postgraduate examination organized by the state in the second half of this year passes the line, you will be able to enter the school seriously next fall.

The teaching time of Fudan part-time MBA is still relatively relaxed.

It's usually a Tuesday or Thursday night, plus a weekend for the whole day.

It just so happened that Wen Ye and Gu Yu could choose two different times, so they basically didn't delay.

As for skipping class in case of emergency, it is also normal.

Speaking of Wu Fucheng's graduation, Fang Nian and Liu Xi's sophomore year is coming to an end.

This semester's exam week is scheduled for mid-June.

There will be some courses ending one after another.

After all, it's about to be a junior.

Fang Nian also plans to publish a paper and publish a journal before the end of his sophomore year, and he is quite busy academically.

“......”

In the big night, everyone is also idle.

At the end, Frontier CEO Wen Ye mentioned half of the business.

"I saw a topic on Zhihu before, talking about how to view the vision and mission of the frontier, and I think the discussion is quite hot. ”

Gu Yu also said: "The evaluation of the frontier in the general direction is not friendly. ”

“......”

Guan Qiuhe naturally saw this topic, and she muttered: "Strictly speaking, the outside world still doesn't understand the frontier, and thinks that the frontier calibration is too grand and ambitious. ”

"There is a certain paradox, the frontier was very low-key at first, and the planning of the laboratory became a little unorthodox because of the takeover of the Nuwa system. ”

“......”

"The issue of company culture is not a simple matter, the voice on the Internet can be referenced, but there must be a clear framework internally, and the cutting-edge enterprise development department in this area still needs to work hard. Wen Ye summed himself up.

“......”

Fang Nian said calmly: "Since we have talked about corporate culture, I will say a few words;

In fact, the construction of corporate culture will not be achieved overnight, from the separation of various companies in the frontier department to the establishment of Nuwa Laboratory, Frontier has tilted more resources to laboratory projects;

The other components of the interior are largely ignored. ”

"This matter, Mr. Guan, Xiao Gu, and Brother Wu will take the lead and focus on it, don't be in a hurry, sort it out step by step. ”

“......”

Guan Qiuhe, Gu Yu, and Wu Fucheng all nodded in response.

In fact, Fang Nian also saw this topic just now.

Seriously speaking, Fang Nian was actually a bit unexpected.

Because of the Frontier Science Developer Conference, Frontier has attracted a lot of attention and generated a considerable amount of topic, which is normal.

But even the vision and mission of the frontier are specially brought out and discussed, which is a bit abnormal.

It's not that the culture of other companies doesn't care.

Ali's sentence 'Let there be no difficult business in the world' is often quoted and touted.

On the surface, the reason for the heated discussion should be related to the low profile before the frontier and the sudden rise of this conference.

Launched the world's leading Nuwa MindOS3.0;

Then I got the more popular computer operating system Nuwa DeskOS.

That's it.

At the end, Shenlong No. 1 was used for a finale.

Not to mention anything else, at least there are many electronics enthusiasts who know about the performance of mobile phone processing chips.

Especially as early as New Year's Day this year, when Xiaomi released the Mi 1, some parameters of the mobile phone were made a lot more transparent.

In the final big axis play, Guan Qiuhe, on behalf of the frontier, briefly described the business modules and development causes of the frontier.

On the one hand, it shows that the frontier has developed to a certain extent by not doing its job properly.

On the other hand, it put forward a more ambitious mission.

Let some melon-eating people who are half-aware of the frontier put forward some controversial views.

It is said that the frontier is full of ambitions.

It doesn't really matter what the outside world is talking about, because Frontier doesn't really have a direct-to-consumer business.

Whether it is an operating system or a mobile phone processing chip, it can only be used by consumers through other manufacturers.

But even Wen Ye understands that there must be some ideas of front-line employees in this.

And every company must pay attention to internal management issues.

Especially for a large group like Frontier, which is now such a big stall, it is more necessary to pay attention to the construction of corporate culture.

This can be matched with the cutting-edge internal virtual stock affairs led by Huang Yankang, which can produce a good chemical reaction.

is also the reason why Fang Nian directly named and arranged three people to take charge.

Other parties are deliberately provoking some big giants in Europe and the United States here, but there are moths inside the frontier.

Of course, there will be no contradiction for a while.

Because the frontier gives money generously, at least it satisfies the most simple pursuit of salarymen who are willing to go to work: enough money.

At eight o'clock, everyone was almost drunk, and no one drank too much.

After that, they cleaned up and went their separate ways in the living room.

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, Liu Xi, and Wu Fucheng all hugged their notebooks and tapped them, exchanging two sentences from time to time.

Fang Nian, Lu Weiyu, and Guan Qiuhe were not idle.

In Fang Nian's words, the conference is over, can you still keep this thing with Apple for the New Year?

............

............

8:30 p.m.

5:30 a.m. California time on the 24th.

8:30 a.m. ET on the 24th.

There is 1 hour left before the U.S. stock market opens.

Apple held a special press conference for small media.

In particular, some media outlets that have a good relationship with Apple were invited to come.

Steve Jobs, who is rumored to have been battling the disease, did not attend the press conference, and it was Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook who spoke on behalf of Apple.

The fact that the person who is most likely to take over as Apple's CEO in terms of job order comes forward shows that Apple attaches great importance to it and that the press conference is of high standard.

The press conference will also be broadcast online.

Fang Nian saw the news on the Internet three minutes before the press conference started, and then rushed to the onlookers.

Compared with China, this type of press conference in the United States is actually not old and young, and there are many reporters at every turn.

Of course, the journalists' rhetoric was a bit sharper.

Fortunately, Fang Nian's English listening ability is not bad, and he can listen to it without real-time subtitles.

Cook stepped up to the podium and made a brief opening remark.

"Good morning......

Then he said: "We have noticed some rumors and public opinion about Apple on the Internet recently, and we have made special explanations. ”

Frontier presented to the news media a list of patents it applied for in August 2010 to the relevant intellectual property units......

These patent directories cover all aspects of the operating system;

Apple respects intellectual property and respects science.

I am also deeply sorry for some unverified remarks before, Nuwa Lab is a great laboratory full of scientific research spirit......"

“......”

"Some of the content that has sparked controversy on social media sites is not entirely true......"

“......”

This report, Cook said for more than three minutes.

However, there was only one time in the whole process that was a clear apology, and it was not an apology to Frontier or Nuwa Lab.

This made Fang Nian happy.

Snorted coldly: "The political and commercial faces of European and American countries are the same ugly, secretive, and as sharp as possible. ”

This reminded Fang Nian of an article that impressed him in his previous life.

It dissects one of the core ideas of Westerners:

'I can, you can't'

To put it more simply, Westerners think, I can surpass you, you can't surpass me, I can make mistakes, you can't make mistakes, I can apologize to myself, you can't ask me to apologize.

All in all, the logic of Westerners is like this, and it's not even a double standard.

It is equivalent to saying that he is strict with others and lenient with himself.

Anyway, Fang Nian couldn't get used to seeing this face......

At the end of Cook's speech, Cook said, "Then comes the question session. ”

“......”

A reporter asked: "Mr. Cook, there is news that because of the excellent control experience and functional characteristics of the Nuwa system, it will affect Apple's WWDC next month?"

"What do you think about this. ”

“......”

Cook smiled: "This question is not standard, and under any circumstances, Apple's annual WWDC conference will not be affected." ”

“......”

"Mr. Cook, judging from the patent application date of the Nuwa Laboratory, does it mean that the Nuwa Laboratory is very forward-looking in terms of system functional characteristics?"

Cook: "In fact, this is a false proposition, and the efforts of Nuwa Labs on the operating system are worthy of recognition, but they cannot be generalized. ”

“......”

"Mr. Cook, what does Apple think of the Shenlong 1 chip released by Frontier a few hours ago?"

Cook: "I haven't heard of it. ”

“......”

"Mr. Cook, please don't shy away from the practical question, Shenlong 1 uses the same instruction architecture as the A5 chip, but the performance is improved by 70%! It also uses the world's most advanced lithography process 28nm process, does this mean that the cutting-edge design capability in mobile phone processing chips has been far ahead of Apple?"

Cook: "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question, because I don't know what Shenlong 1 is, let alone where these performance parameters come from;

I recommend that you pay attention to the reliable data of neutral review agencies!"

“......”

Seeing this, Fang Nian was surprised: "I'm quite good at changing the topic, but ...... When I'm not prepared for anything, let the bullets fly a little longer!"

“......”

Regarding the neutral evaluation matter, Bai Ze is of course prepared.

Although Frontier does not plan to produce mobile phones, it does not mean that there is no way to independently test the performance of the chip.

Of course, Bai Ze also prepared more.

“......”

For more than ten minutes, it was a question and answer session.

Although when Bai Ze released the Shenlong 1, it was more than 3 o'clock in the morning Eastern time, and it was also more than 12 o'clock in the morning in California time.

But that doesn't mean Apple isn't paying attention at all.

Since this press conference was held at 5:30 a.m. California time, it is enough to show that some of Apple's executives may have woken up in the middle of the night last night and stayed up all night.

It can be seen from Cook's avoidance of weight.

A lot of questions can be delayed, and of course, the questions that are good for Apple are bound to be long-winded.

“......”

In the end, Cook said that because of time, he could only answer three more questions.

And then there'......

"Mr. Cook, has Apple ever thought about publicly apologizing to Frontier?"

"Mr. Cook, did Apple have to hold a press conference earlier because it was worried about its stock price?"

"Mr. Cook, will Apple release a new iPhone at WWDC?"

Cook replied one by one: "First of all, Apple has already apologized;

Second, Apple did not hold a press conference because it was worried about its stock price, but because social media thought that Apple was avoiding a response;

Finally, I would like to ask you to look forward to the coming of the WWDC, which will be made public. ”

“......”

"Thank you, this is the end of this press conference, and I wish you all a good day. ”

This brings to an end Apple's 30-minute press conference.

Looking at the video that had darkened, Fang Nian groaned for a moment and looked at Wen Ye: "Is everything sorted out?"
