My Age of Investment

Chapter 1614 Death of Steve Jobs

“Feifei, what’s the weather like today?”

 “This is today’s weather forecast…”

“If you receive a text message or Facebook Messenger, you can say to Feifei: Read this message for me.”

“Li, when will the press conference end? Remember to leave a mobile phone for me.”

 …

 Looking at the various magical and wonderful demonstrations on the stage, the audience was amused and laughed.

 Li Feifei, who was standing on the stage, also had a satisfied smile on his face.

After several years of hard work, Fuxing Industrial’s artificial intelligence laboratory in the United States finally delivered a satisfactory answer—the virtual voice assistant Feifei.

This first-generation artificial intelligence product approved by her boss and named after her has just been tested and verified and has been implanted in the Fuxing FX3S mobile phone released today.

Although Feifei’s intelligence still needs to be improved, at the moment, it is a well-deserved high-tech product.

 This can also be verified by the shock on the faces of the audience.

 The press conference continues to be held, and is broadcast live through YouTube Live, which was launched this year.

 Jobs was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, but he was still watching the live video of the Fuxing FX3S launch conference played on the iPad.

He couldn’t understand why Fuxing Mobile launched its latest products before them every time. What was the secret behind this?

Thinking of this, he turned his head with difficulty and turned his attention to Cook, his successor and best friend.

Cook knew what Jobs was thinking, and immediately showed a wry smile, "Perhaps as you have guessed, they have planted many commercial spies in our company. Otherwise, how can we explain that we are preparing to launch the Siri function, and they launched it before us?" What the **** is this Feifei."

 “We must find out the traitor! Ahem, cough, cough~”

 Jobs had an abnormal flush on his face, and then he let out a painful cough because he was so excited.

Laurenna, who was standing aside, could no longer control her temper when she saw that her husband was still obsessed with competing with Fuxing Mobile even though he was already terminally ill.

“Steve, what you should do now is to take good care of your health, rather than worrying about the press conference. It is Tim’s job to find the traitor, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Hearing what his wife said, Jobs was so angry that he yelled with all his strength: "Get out!"

“You are a lunatic! Paranoid! You only have eyes for Wisdom Fruit Company, and there is no place for me and my children at all. You are so sick, and yet..."

"go out!"

Seeing that the couple was still arguing at this juncture, Cook felt a little embarrassed and quickly stood up to break up the fight.

But unfortunately, Laurenna, who had been heartbroken by her husband, was completely unmoved. She covered her mouth and rushed out of the ward with tears streaming down her face, leaving Cook and Jobs alone there staring at each other.

 “Stop chasing her, let her go!”

 Jobs stopped Cook who wanted to chase him out, and said in a very weak tone: "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about alone."

Looking at Jobs' current appearance, Cook felt a little uncomfortable knowing that the other person might be "left alone".

Then he recalled all the times the two of them got along in the past, his nose couldn't help but feel a little sore, and he choked and said, "Steve, just tell me, I'm listening."

"Use all means to knock down the Renaissance Industry! This is my last wish, and there is nothing else I can ask for."

Cook tightly held Jobs's arm, which was as thin as a stick, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

 He nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, I, Tim Cook, swear to God that I will fulfill your last wish."

Seeing that Cook agreed to his wish, Jobs finally showed a relieved smile on his face, "If you have time, remember to take care of Laurenna for me."

How should I take care of this?

Cook couldn't help but mutter in his heart, after all, he was not good at this. He really couldn't learn from Blair's behavior of focusing on his friends' wives, and he didn't bother to learn.

Jobs didn’t know the strange thoughts in Cook’s mind, but he still kept nagging: “She comes from a single-parent family, and her stepfather is an abuser and an alcoholic. She has not received much love from her father since she was a child.

She will definitely develop a new relationship after I die. I have no objection to this. I am just worried that she will be deceived..." Cook listened patiently and nodded from time to time. Until Jobs said he was tired and then fell asleep. After passing by, he stood up and left.

 …

Four days later, Wisdom Fruit Company released the iPhone 4S in San Francisco, USA. Although this iPhone 4S, known as the most classic in its previous life, was also equipped with the intelligent voice assistant Siri, it did not make much splash.

Due to the advent of Fuxing mobile phones in this life, I am afraid that the title of follower of Wisdom Fruit will not be taken off.

 One day later, Jobs died quietly in the hospital at the age of 56.

This news has aroused a lot of heat and discussion in the United States and even around the world, but it is still fundamentally different from the global sensation in the previous life.

  Jobs’ talent is unique in the personal PC era, but he is not the only **** in the smartphone era.

Therefore, the iPhone 4S, the last iPhone launched during the Steve Jobs era, is not so legendary and is still firmly outclassed by Fuxing phones.

 …

 …

When Xia Jingxing received the news of Steve Jobs's death in China, he didn't make much of a reaction. He just replied lightly to the person notifying him, "I understand."

 He is really indifferent to this matter.

Although Jobs was still exerting his influence and talent after leaving Wisdom Fruit, the fledgling Fuxing Industrial Group was not afraid of this challenge at all, and did not pose much of a threat to the latter, so there was no bloodshed. The kind of sympathy shown in movies and TV shows.

However, after Cook completely takes control of Wisdom Fruit, Fuxing Industrial Group can try to ease the relationship with Wisdom Fruit. After all, BOE's screens, ATL's batteries, Luxshare Precision's foundries, Lens Technology's glass panels and many other companies There is room for cooperation with Zhiguo.

For example, Samsung Group and Wisdom are competing in the mobile phone business, but this does not affect their cooperation in chip manufacturing and screen procurement.

 Since large enterprise groups are involved in too many fields, the relationship between cooperation and competition is normal.

 Previously, because Jobs was still alive, Cook needed to rely on his influence to help him secure his position, so it was inevitable that he would make some moves that would please Jobs but would not maximize the company's interests.

Now that Steve Jobs is dead, the obstacles to cooperation will no longer exist, and cooperation that was previously impossible can be attempted.

Of course, this is an issue that Xia Jingxing views from a more rational perspective. No one knows what Cook will do next.

Soon, Xia Jingxing put the death of Steve Jobs behind him. He felt that he should care more about the living than the dead.

Since the past few years, the U.S. Department of Justice, the European Trade Commission and other agencies have initiated antitrust actions against more than a dozen Japanese, Korean and countertop panel companies, including AU Optronics, Chi Mei Electronics, CMO, Hitachi, Sharp, Toshiba, LG and Samsung. After investigation, the incident caused a big fuss and made these companies disgraced.

 During this period, AT&T, Motorola and other victims came out to speak out and launched lawsuits against these colluded panel companies.

In the words of Huang Dongsheng, Chairman of BOE: These idiots usually blackmail mainland companies, but they are so bold as to attack their masters. No, they will be hit on the head with a beating stick.

Xia Jingxing doesn’t care at all about how Americans train dogs. He is just thinking about how to seize this rare opportunity and reduce the gap with Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese companies in the panel industry.

After meeting and talking with Huang Dongsheng, the two gradually reached a consensus. They decided to take advantage of his illness and kill him. They simply took advantage of this east wind to put more pressure on Xiaori, Xiaobangzi and Wanwan.

 Huang Dongsheng is responsible for clearing the joints. It makes no sense that the European Union issued a fine of 650 million euros, the United States also issued a fine of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, and the mainland was indifferent, right? This is not in line with trade fairness, right?

Xia Jingxing is responsible for providing financial support and providing BOE with another loan or private placement financing.

This money is not used to build new panel production lines, but is used specifically to fight price wars for the seven panel production lines.

 Give me full production of all production lines, and then sell the panels at a reduced price.

Perhaps you will lose some money in a short period of time and suffer a lot for investors, but in exchange for the mainland people watching cheap TVs a few years in advance, it is also good.

I believe that as long as it survives this wave of price wars, BOE’s overall rise will be accelerated for at least several years, and it will become the global leader in LCD panels a few years in advance.

Only by securing the global dominance of LCD panels in advance can BOE have the energy to compete with Samsung and LG in the newly opened OLED panel battlefield.

Otherwise, we will fall behind step by step, burning hundreds of billions and failing to create a clear situation in the panel industry.
