The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Nelson received a phone report from his subordinates saying that Pangu Technology was launching a smartphone.

After hearing this, Nelson couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

This was really great news, he thought.

The competition between IBM and Apple is quite fierce.

The overall market situation is not good now.

The competition between the two companies became increasingly fierce.

Therefore, Apple's development of smartphones is definitely not a good thing for IBM.

That means Apple has an opportunity to overtake others!

It is even possible that IBM will be left behind by Apple because of this.

This was unacceptable to Nelson.

Pangu Technology also developed a smartphone and released it to the world first.

So, for Apple, it is a fatal blow!
This is bad for Apple.

But it's a great thing for IBM.

After hearing the news, Nelson became much more energetic.

He put down the phone and glanced at the people sitting around the conference table in the meeting room.

"Cough cough!"

Nelson cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone! Here is a very important news! Do you want to hear it?"

Jobs was feeling anxious at this moment.

Jobs was picking up his small feature phone on the desk and wanted his secretary to go online to see what was going on.

When he heard Nelson say this, he rolled his eyes and said to Nelson, "Mr. Nelson, don't keep me in suspense. What exactly is going on?"

Nelson smiled and said, "This must be sad news for you!"

"do you know?"

"Right now, Julong's Pangu Technology Company is holding a new product launch conference!"

“They released a really beautiful, fully touchscreen phone!”

"This phone is very beautiful. It is much more beautiful than this crude thing you released."

"Moreover, Wang Haoran, the head of Pangu Technology, also said that they will start mass production of this phone as soon as it is launched!"

"Their factory production lines are all ready."

“This is really shocking!”

Nelson's words confirmed what Jobs was thinking.

His face suddenly turned very pale.

There was an uproar in the conference room at this moment.

Because, if what Nelson said was true, it would mean that a technological breakthrough that Giant Eagle had worked so hard to come up with was released by someone else first!

However, most people in the conference room did not resist the news; some even felt a little secretly delighted.

After all, if their competitors suffer a defeat, they will feel happy!
Capitalists have no sense of patriotism.

In order to earn excess profits, they sometimes even dare to sell the ropes with which they can hang themselves!
"Ha! This news is really a bit sad."

"Mr. Jobs, I wonder if you got the technology from Pangu Technology and rushed to assemble this weird thing in order to release it first and seize the initiative?"

"It's over. Mr. Jobs still wanted to dominate the world with his smart phone technology. Now, his hopes are likely to be dashed."

There were a few people who usually didn't get along with Jobs and they were mocking him.

Jobs' face was gloomy and his mood suddenly became very bad.

He snorted coldly and left the meeting room.

One of Eagle King's staff stopped him at the door of the conference room: "Mr. Jobs, are you leaving?"

"Your Majesty may have other agendas later."

Jobs said, "I have to find out what the new product released by Pangu Technology is like."

"If there is anything else to come, I will involve my deputy in the meeting."

"He will convey it to me."

Jobs strode away.

He returned to his car.

He opened his laptop on the table in the back of the car.

Jobs' secretary has already asked for the WiFi password in the White House.

Jobs then used his laptop to access the Internet.

He opened the browser and logged into Weibo.

Although Weibo has withdrawn from Giant Eagle.

However, its influence here in Giant Eagle is still huge.

Even though Giant Eagle quickly launched a series of local imitation software, they still could not compare with the huge influence of Weibo.

When Jobs logged into Weibo, he saw on the homepage that Pangu Technology was live streaming the launch of a new product.

However, at this time, the live broadcast was almost coming to an end.

Jobs happened to see Wang Haoran using his mobile phone to perform various interactive functions with a computer running the Pangu operating system.

This operation is very magical.

The atmosphere at the press conference suddenly reached its peak.

Jobs watched the entire Pangu Technology's new product launch conference silently.

He sighed.

He felt a little regretful at this moment.

The disruptive product, iPhone, should have been released a few days earlier!

As long as the iPhone can be released first, Apple will be able to take the title of the inventor of the smart full-touch-screen mobile phone!

With this status, Apple can gain the advantage of being a first-mover.

Even if Pangu Technology releases it later, it can only be regarded as a follower.

But now, I just hesitated for a moment!
The opportunity to launch new products first is missed.

This missed opportunity can be said to bring huge losses to Apple.

After watching the live broadcast, Jobs began searching for relevant information on Weibo.

After searching like this, he found a lot.

This information provides detailed information about Pangu Technology's smartphones.

There is configuration.

There is a speaking function.

There are tests for various application software.

There are special tips for use.

It looks like Pangu Technology has already made preparations.

These bloggers must have received some fees.

So, they are just cooperating with the propaganda.

After looking at the configuration, Jobs knew that Apple could not compete with its competitors at all.

Because the other party’s lowest-end configuration is already two or three levels stronger than Apple’s smartphones.

How can you compare with them?

The key point: They claim that it will be available in mass production and on the market in a month.

Moreover, the price is very reasonable.

The lowest-end Pangu smartphone is priced at only 1888 RMB?
This price is completely affordable for the vast majority of dragon people.

Jobs read various information for nearly an hour.

After he finished reading it, he was completely deflated.

He thinks that the smartphone developed by Apple is rubbish compared to that of Pangu Technology.

Damn it! Should we take advantage of the popularity of Pangu Technology’s smartphone launch to release our own phone?

Jobs hesitated.

He felt that his smartphone was a bit too rubbish.

If I were to hold a press conference and give a live speech like Wang Haoran did, I probably wouldn't get any applause. Instead, I would probably only get ridicule and sarcasm.

However, he thought again, no matter what, this is also a major technological breakthrough for Apple, right?
Even if it is slightly worse than Pangu Technology, isn't it still much better than other technology companies?
At the very least, here in Giant Eagle, Apple is unique!
As Jobs thought about this, his mentality became stable again.

He thought to himself, compared with Pangu Technology, our Apple is indeed much worse.

However, compared with other Giant Eagle technology companies, we are ahead and crushing them!

Aren’t those guys just eating and waiting to die now?
They knew clearly that they were far behind the big dragons in the field of chips.

Have they done anything?

They didn't do anything!
They are also desperately flattering the dragon people in order to gain more and faster support.

Even though Apple is not that good, we at Apple have never given up and we have been working hard!

We even designed our own processor chips using Dragon's chip design tools.

We are good enough.

Jobs prepared himself mentally, and his mood finally calmed down.

In fact, white people respect strength the most.

When they deal with any force, they always proceed from their position of strength.

If you don't have strength, you won't get their respect.

You have strength, but if you don't use it, you will still be provoked by them.

When you have both the strength and the courage to defeat them, they will kneel down to you.

Jobs returned to Apple.

He immediately found Wozniak, the vice president of technology, and discussed with him how to make Apple's smartphone launch conference more attractive.

Because there is Pangu Technology as a good example.

If Apple doesn't do things right, they will definitely be despised by consumers.

However, Wozniak told Jobs that Apple's smartphones had no advantages at all compared to Pangu Technology's.

There is no unique function.

It is totally impossible to have a better performance at the press conference.

This disappointed Jobs a little.

"What about fakery?"

"Can we use animation to show the functions of our smartphones?"

"We need all the features their iPhones have!"

"We also need to have one or two features that they don't have."

"We must outwit them!"

Wozniak shrugged and said, "Mr. Jobs, that doesn't make any sense."

“Our products are meant to be sold on the market.”

"If we falsify data for vanity, we will be retaliated by the market in the future. We will be labeled as dishonest."

"This won't do us any good!"

Wozniak knew that Jobs said this because of his competitive spirit.

Jobs was competitive by nature.

He is unwilling to fall behind others.

No matter what he does, he hopes to do his best.

However, before this, Jobs had never been so impatient as to seek psychological comfort through fraud.

Jobs sighed.

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have no idea how to win the hearts and minds of consumers."

“I wondered, if our product is useless, how can we stand out?”

Wozniak patted Jobs on the shoulder and said, "As long as we are the best inside Giant Eagle, we can stand out."

“It is no longer possible for us to occupy other markets around the world through competition.”

“So, we should be content with the status quo.”

"Besides, I think we can still discuss cooperation with Pangu Technology."

"In the future, if we can get the full support of Pangu Technology first, then we will definitely be able to seize the market opportunities in Giant Eagle."

Jobs shook his head.

He felt humiliated.

However, in order to survive, he had to do so.

Once upon a time, Apple was a pioneer in computer products.

Now, we have to rely on others.

This was unbearable for the proud Jobs.

However, for the survival of Apple, he had no choice but to cooperate with Pangu Technology.

"I never thought that we were about to become a second-rate company," Jobs said, shaking his head.

First-rate companies engage in R&D and innovation, while second-rate companies follow suit and imitate others in research.

Third-rate companies can only follow behind and eat dust.

Wozniak said, "Mr. Jobs, as long as we never give up our dreams, I think we will have a chance to get back to the top!"

“Everything is temporary.”

Jobs smiled bitterly: "I used this sentence to comfort myself before."

"I told myself that everything is temporary, and one day, we will be able to return to our leadership position."

"But now, I realize that no matter how hard we try, it will always be in vain."

"The dragon already owns a large number of high-tech companies."

“Their innovation competition is very fierce.”

“They dare to revolutionize themselves and subvert the industries in which they are making a lot of money and leading.”

“This is something we will never be able to compare to.”

"So, we will never be able to beat them."

Wozniak was silent, too.

Because Jobs was right.

Pangu Technology’s enterprising spirit is really too strong.

Moreover, their investment in scientific and technological research is also enormous.

They recruit talent from all over the world.

They dared to revolutionize themselves.

The 2G mobile phone was developed by Pangu Technology.

Today, Pangu Technology occupies the largest market share of 2G mobile phones in the world!

Owner of more than 2% of the global 2G equipment and G mobile phone market.

It can bring hundreds of billions of RMB in revenue to Pangu Technology every year.

However, under such circumstances, Pangu Technology started to develop its own smart touch-screen mobile phones.

Isn't this just being hard on yourself?
Anyway, in the capitalist world, this would never happen.

Because the principle of capitalists has always been: saving money is making money!

When an industry can still bring them huge profits, they will not rush to subvert the industry they dominate.

There are quite a lot of examples here.

If you don’t believe it, take a look at the dilapidated railway in Giant Eagle.

In addition, Kodak was the first company in the world to invent the digital camera.

However, they are also the world leader in film.

They certainly won't revolutionize themselves.

They sealed up the digital cameras and continued to sell film.

As a result, when other companies also developed digital cameras and began to promote them globally, they collapsed all of a sudden. They lost the lucrative film industry, and the company soon died.

Jobs discussed it with Wozniak and finally decided to hold a more realistic new product launch conference.

This press conference highlighted the term "second in the world".

They want to emphasize that Apple is the second company in the world to develop a completely independent smartphone, second only to the Pangu smartphone.

Yes! Let me emphasize again at the press conference that Apple will cooperate deeply with Pangu Technology, exchange patents, and strive to provide the most advanced smartphones for the people of Giant Eagle. (End of this chapter)
