Chapter 335

About Huizhong's future financing preparation, Fang zhe did not disclose it to other senior executives at the plenary high-level meeting for the time being. It is only after their seven core executives negotiate more specific details that they can talk to other senior executives. Otherwise, it is inevitable that many people will talk and leak the news. In that case, Fang Zhe and Huizhong will not prepare financing according to their own plans, But Fang Zhe is busy dealing with all kinds of door-to-door investors every day!

In the past two days when Huizhong held the closed door meeting and the plenary high-level meeting, a very important thing also happened in the global mobile industry, that is, Apple released a new generation of iPhone, iPhone 4, at the apple global developer conference on June 8.

Also at this conference, Fang zhe used to call the unaccustomed iPhone OS and was renamed IOS!

Nowadays, no one in the mobile Internet industry or mobile phone industry does not recognize Apple's leading position in leading the global smartphone revolution and mobile Internet revolution.

On May 26 last month, Apple's market value exceeded Microsoft's, reaching more than $220 billion, officially exceeding Microsoft's market value of more than $210 billion, becoming the world's most valuable technology company!

In the past, that is, from this day on, apple sat on the throne of the technology company with the highest market value in the world, bravely climbed the peak all the way, surpassed Wal Mart, ExxonMobil, PetroChina and other top companies in various industries in the world, until it became the company with the highest market value in the world, and its market value exceeded US $trillion in 2018, becoming the largest company in human history, The first company to break through the market value of trillion US dollars!

What is the concept of trillion dollars? There are less than 20 countries with a global GDP of more than trillion dollars! Behind it, there are nearly 200 countries, including Turkey, Switzerland, Argentina, Thailand, the Philippines and many other countries familiar to Chinese people. Apple, with its own business empire, has explained to the world what is rich and invincible!

Every act and every move of Apple has been concerned by the global mobile Internet industry, the mobile phone industry and many industries and even the national level they have associated with. Apple has released iPhone4, which is no exception to the headlines of the major news media and newspapers in the world, including Chinese mainland which has been gradually popular in China.

Fang zhe remembers that the iPhone was officially known to most ordinary Chinese people. The iPhone gradually appeared hot words such as selling kidney and buying mobile phone, starting with iPhone 4, which was also the last mobile phone released by Jobs himself in his previous life.

What impresses Fang zhe even more is that the iPhone 4S released next fall was released by cook, the next CEO of apple, on October 4, just the day before jobs died. Therefore, many people in the industry have always regarded the iPhone 4S as "iPhone forced"!

If Fang zhe can't think of anything unexpected, jobs may die next year. Even if Fang Zhe is a reborn, I'm afraid it's difficult to change the outcome of jobs, because he died of cancer, and Fang zhe has nothing to do.

While busy sorting out the spin off of Alipay, Fang zhe took the time to simply watch the broadcast video of the iPhone 4 press conference. The iPhone and Appstore are closely related to Huizhong's mobile Internet business and mobile game business. Fang zhe naturally attaches great importance to the relevant information at the press conference.

However, after watching the video, Fang zhe didn't find anything enough to attract his attention. Although it also involves some updated contents of the new version of IOS, it's not necessary for his big boss to worry about these trifles. He believes that the technical directors and employees of Huizhong's R & D departments must be earlier and more detailed than he paid attention to.

After watching the video, Fang zhe leaned back in his chair and recalled the scene when he went to the United States to meet Steve Jobs at the beginning of the year. In Fang Zhe's view, Steve Jobs is a great and paranoid person. Needless to say, his paranoia is almost well-known in the industry.

Jobs has absolute decision-making power and persistence in the design of Apple's various products. This persistence not only helps Apple make many great products, but also inevitably leads to many problems.

For example, jobs never liked large screen phones. He always liked small screen phones. Therefore, today, when the 4-inch screen has begun to rise in the global mobile phone industry, Apple's new iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S to be released next year are still 3.5-inch screens.

It was not until his death that Apple released the iPhone 5 with a 4-inch screen, which was nearly two years later than the trend of the whole mobile phone industry. Other mobile phone companies could not keep up with the trend and times. I'm afraid they were swept into the garbage of history like Nokia mobile phones. Unfortunately, Apple's advantages in system, hardware and other aspects are enough to make many consumers, Ignore the gap between the two years.

With regard to Apple's release of iPhone 4, in addition to collecting various related business layouts, Fang zhe also remembered one thing, that is, in his impression, a scandal about Apple and iPhone 4, "antenna gate"!

After the release of the previous iPhone 4, it began to go on sale more than 20 days later. That is, at that time, it was revealed on the Internet that after users hold the iPhone 4 with their hands, the mobile phone signal of the iPhone 4 will deteriorate or even disappear. In the previous life, this matter has become a hot topic all over the world. Apple's public relations department and even founder Steve Jobs had to hold a special press conference to settle this matter.

Although afterwards, judging from the sales and return rate of iPhone 4, users did not give up their love and welcome for iPhone 4 because of the "antenna gate" incident, it did push apple to the forefront of the storm during the outbreak of antenna gate.

Because for a mobile phone, the most basic communication problem is a big problem. Apple's competitors, including Motorola, Nokia and other companies, take this opportunity to crack down on and satirize apple. Jobs was so angry that he even wrote when replying to users' emails: "the signal is bad, just change your posture to hold the mobile phone!"

Although people in the industry believe that it is the mobile phone design problem of iPhone 4, jobs and apple are certainly unwilling to admit that it is a major design error of their team. Therefore, in the end, Apple's mobile phone screen signal display algorithm error has become the back pot man of this event!

Fang zhe thought, do you want to tell apple to remind them to prepare early and think about it? If you don't say it, it will have no impact on Huizhong. If you say it, it may make Steve Jobs and apple owe themselves and Huizhong a favor. No matter how big or small the favor is, it can be regarded as a matter of no cost and no profit!

Fang zhe called his secretary Li Wen into the office and casually found an excuse to tell him about it and let him make arrangements. More than half an hour later, Li Wen came in and told Fang Zhe that Huizhong's technology department had tested the iPhone 4 prototype obtained from internal channels, there was indeed a signal problem, and had given feedback to apple.

Fang zhe nodded. Although this matter was important to apple, it was a trivial matter for Fang Zhe and Huizhong. Fang zhe had just sent Li Wen out for a few minutes. Unexpectedly, he knocked on the door in a hurry. Without Fang zhe asking him, he said:

"President Fang, there is news from the United States!"
