how i bought the whole world

LG's newview officially launched in the second month.

Prior to this, LG has done a month of overwhelming advertising.All major shopping malls, subways, and bus stations are pasted with promotional posters of LG’s new products, and during the prime commercial time of TV dramas, there is also a newview promotional video that is continuously broadcast, which describes in detail several aspects of newview that are different from Saipan. The functions of the system, including social network applications, touch screen, photo upload and other effect display, this advertisement is straightforward and capable, almost pasting the name of the best smartphone on his forehead, and we can also see the implicit ambition of LG .

Of course, Android's name started on the Internet.

The first thing to note is LG's electronics enthusiasts.

In the immediate interviews on the street, many people said that they would go to the store to try out the new model, and if the effect was good, they would consider buying it next. The price of this NEWVIEW from LG belongs to the middle price in the mobile phone market. It is priced at 402 US dollars. They do not need to pay for the Android system, so the price is lower than that of ordinary smart phones. The only high expenditure is the touch screen item. But this technology has gradually reduced the cost with the development of research.

And we told LG that we will further reduce the cost of selling smartphones to half the final price.

LG's global sales last year were 15.2 billion US dollars, with a market share of 2.1%. In just one month, their global sales suddenly soared to 4 million US dollars, almost the sum of their past three months.This has to be said to be a very astonishing figure. Isidore, the boss of LG.Donahue was overjoyed and called me to express his thanks. His words expressed the intention of continuing to cooperate. On the first day of their listing, the operator of T-mobile in the UK also approached us and asked us to provide support for their T-mobile. phone to create a dedicated smart system, the mobile phone manufacturer is HTC.

In fact, Android has always had two sales models for mobile phone systems. The community version is a completely free and open-source mobile phone system, while the customized version requires merchants to pay for it. The difference between the two is that the former is a public demand and can meet basic mobile phone performance. Requirements, but can not get Android special technical support and follow-up services, the latter is a mobile phone system that can accept the special requirements of special users and design attributes for them.The newview that LG is trying to release now is the community version. This is an attempt by LG. After newview won a big victory in the market, LG quickly signed a customized version of newview 2.0 with Android.

This was just the beginning. Soon, other mobile phone manufacturers also realized that LG's success could be replicated, and they threw an olive branch to Android one after another. Among them, the two major brands, Motorola and Samsung, were the fastest. After the cooperation with Symbian, they originally wanted to develop their own mobile phone system, but now they realize that a free and open source system is likely to quickly occupy the mobile phone market in the future, so they had to postpone the development of an independent system and turn to Seek cooperation from Android.All of a sudden, the Android market became very hot, and even Andy Rubin was in the limelight, but he committed another old problem and wanted to resign to work on his robot.

I calmly agreed to his request to get out.Then I wrote an email to him, telling him that from now on, the Android series cannot be named after dessert names.I'll call them, Android 2.0, Android 3.0, and so on.

As a result, in less than two weeks, Andy, who was concerned about the development of Android 1.5 cupcakes, quickly rolled back.

Among them, the only one not satisfied with the rise of Android is Nokia's Symbian company.In the past few years, Symbian mobile phones have occupied an absolute dominant position in the smartphone market. Even if LG has only occupied less than [-]% of its territory, it is enough to make Symbian feel angry.They think they are the best keyboard phones, with simple operation functions, quick task mode, and easy to use, while Android is a hodgepodge, not only see themselves as mobile laptops, but also like to play around the edges.

But none of this can stop more and more software developers from joining the Android APP market.Now Android APP is a big cake that everyone wants to taste. It is famous for its complex functions and colorful interface. Andy Rubin said on his Twitter that Android 1.5 Cupcake will be launched at the end of 05. Add video upload, music playback, caller avatar and photo editing functions. At that time, users will find that they can edit files, programs or emails in batches, and when people accidentally turn the phone upside down, they will find that the interface of the phone is upside down come over.

The 1.5 Cupcake will abandon the keyboard and become a truly complete touch-screen phone.

Brandon suggested that we should acquire more small software studios and serve the Android software market under the name of Cyclops. Today's Android companies only need to fully develop mobile phone systems and built-in software, and the rest of the game software and applications Can be completely responsible by a special software company.

I agreed with his request. Opening up the market share is indeed the best way to expand the Android APP store. How much a cake can eat does not depend on how much you own it, but on the size of the cake. In order to make Android the most mainstream as soon as possible I even agreed that software studios not belonging to the WF Group can use the Android APP platform to distribute their paid or free software. This decision is ultimately in charge of Brandon.

The summer of 05 was quickly passed by the good news of Android and the stable and extraordinary stock price. One day, when I came back from the supermarket outside, I suddenly found that Brandon was packing his luggage in the upstairs bedroom.

I startled, "What are you doing, honey?"

"I'm moving out, William," Brandon said, almost scaring me to death, and he gave me a look, "Relax, my parents are coming to Boston from Florida to visit me tomorrow, and I can't show them I live in such a big house with a boyfriend by my side."

"But didn't you quit the lease?" I couldn't help asking.

"So I improvised a house today," Brandon said.

I'm not very happy looking at him.

Brandon sighed and came over and kissed my face. "Don't be angry with me, okay? I don't want it to be like this. I have to go to the new house later to tidy up the room and make it look a bit popular, so that my parents won't find me living in a bedless room. house."

"You can live in Newton." I said stubbornly, "and then I live here in Lincoln."

"William, even if I were Newton, my salary wouldn't be enough to pay my rent."

I put my arms around him, "Then I'll go to your new apartment and clean it up for you."

Brandon looked at me suspiciously, "Are you really going to? Don't mess with me later."

I sniffed the breath in his hair, "Don't make trouble."

I packed Brandon's daily necessities into a small bag, and then stuffed Jude Law's toys, teething and dog food bowls into it, and Jude Law was circling around my legs, and I fed him some dog biscuits, as if he knew he was about to To leave, sniffing at my trouser legs.

"You don't want to go either, do you, little boy." I rubbed his head.

Jude Law started licking my face furiously.

"Forget it, you'd better get out." I said resentfully, reaching out and pushing him aside.

Jude Law came running after me again.I pushed him on the rug, and he wagged his tail and rolled, and the two of us played push, stand, push, until Brandon came down the stairs with a suitcase, stand before us.

"Are you going to take this little thing with you?"

"My parents won't stay long, and I've only packed a week's worth of clothes," Brandon said.

"Okay." My answer was a little dry.

Brandon sat down in front of me and gave me a tender kiss.

That night I was lying in bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep. I reached for the watch on the bedside, and the time had only passed an hour. Now it was midnight in the middle of the night. The night was quiet and peaceful, and the silvery moonlight poured into my room from the window. But I didn't feel sleepy at all, because there was one less person next to my bed, and Brandon had moved to a new rented apartment early with Jude Law.

I decided to call and harass Chris.

Chris answered the phone sleepily, "William, give me a reason not to break up with you right away."

"I have a question, please answer me."

"Say."

"Suppose you are a worthless, hopeless little bastard, how do you please a pair of parents-in-law who are not satisfied with you?"

"First of all, I'm not a worthless little punk with no future, and second, I'm broken up and inexperienced."

I knocked on the receiver sympathetically, "Hey, Chris, I remember you broke up last year, right? Didn't you find a girlfriend in this year?"

Chris raised his voice a little, "Thank you for reminding, William, you are such a kind and good friend." After a while he calmed down again, "What's the matter? Why are you asking this suddenly, what happened to you and Brandon?"

"Brandon's parents are here. He and Jude Law have moved to a new home." I said sadly.For the first time, I found myself missing even dogs.

"Don't tell me that you're going to talk directly to Brandon's parents about your relationship."

"I won't," I said dejectedly. "That's not our root cause. If I do, Brandon will kill me. His worst fear right now is our relationship being exposed to his parents!"

Chris thought for a while, "Come on, come out!" He said suddenly, and then he seemed to roll over and get out of bed, and I could hear the sound of him getting dressed. "Evelyn said that it's time to have a good drink at this time, don't lament on your own, let's go and have a drink."

Chris is indeed my good friend. Even though it is almost one o'clock in the morning, he is still very loyal and invites me out for a drink. The place is in the bar street in the city center. Important point: they are open all night.

After we met, we found one of the most common bars and walked in. The two of them ordered a row of tequila, sat on both sides of a small round table, and then began to pour each other hard.

"Are you tired, William?" Chris asks me as we finish off the first row of tequila.

"What is meant?"

"All of them. Work, relationship, do you feel tired?"

I sighed, "Tired? Maybe, work is so busy, and life is not always smooth sailing. God bless us, Chris, when we started WF, we didn't expect it to develop to where it is today, and I am in When I was pursuing Brandon, I never thought that family factors would be such a problem... But now, it seems that all the troubles have piled up together, and the group is getting bigger and bigger. All sorts of messes, I can't remember when was the last time I wanted to go on vacation; then Brandon's parents showed up at this time, and it's actually the same thing whether they show up or not, they're like Bran Deng's magic spell, jumping out to make trouble when we are on good terms. Oh, and add my brother, he called yesterday to warn me to get a little bit clear about the relationship between men and women, he will not adopt the child to me, God, he There are no children yet, it’s just a mess.”

Chris sighed, "Yes, we seem to have become richer, but also more troubles. Because we have no way to use money to solve troubles, not only you, but I also feel the same way." He paused, as if Thinking of something, he began to pour down glasses of wine, "But you are a lucky guy, although the group is big, at least we are all by your side, you, me, Brandon and Yitzhak, and now add Ann Dee, no matter what the problem is, we can face it together, and Brandon never wants to leave you, you don't have to face the pain of being separated and alone. I have to tell you, this feeling is not at all It’s uncomfortable, you don’t know if the other person will change their minds, and you’re not sure if you will change your mind. In fact, changing your mind is not the worst thing, it’s the most tortured thing when you find that you can’t control your future.”

I heard the other party's implication, and couldn't help raising my eyebrows, "Chris, what do you mean? What's going on between you and that... Marilyn?"

"Marilyn?" The other party opened his eyes blankly.

"It's your Latin girlfriend, the one who stays in France all the time."

"You mean Catherine?" His voice was still puzzled, "Why did I mention her, didn't I say? We broke up early, she fell in love with someone else, and then dumped me. I told you a long time ago."

"You told me that you broke up, but you didn't tell me that you still miss her until now. What is the meaning of 'uncontrollable distance is the most tormenting', don't tell me that you suddenly became a poet .”

"Oh, this, it's too complicated. William, I don't know what to say."

We ordered two more rows of tequila, and after consuming a certain amount of lemon and salt, I also became a bit tongue-in-cheek.

"Chris, Brandon, he...sometimes I can feel that he loves me very much, his tone, eyes and attitude tell me that, but if compared with his parents, I feel that my position is a bit precarious. Of course, the other party is his parents. They raised him up and took care of him until he was an adult. How could he not care about his parents' feelings, and what am I? It's just a lover who has been dating for two years. At best, there is one more boss And sometimes I always make him angry, he might be a little annoying to me, just like today, he left me without any consideration, don’t you think it’s okay to go away?”

Chris patted me on the shoulder, "William, you know, lovers are creatures that cannot be described in words. They are gentle like running water, and cruel like gladiators. They try their best to be with you There is a memory in my heart, but I am very stingy and refuse to give any emotion. There is a poem saying, 'Devil, you are just like the devil, you took my body and forgot my soul'."

He actually recited modern poetry on the spot.

After reciting the poem with emotion, Chris asked the bartender to give us another row of tequila. He giggled and continued, "But what can we do? We like him so much, even if we don't know we are The position in his heart is still untiring, and sometimes I feel that this kind of relationship will not last long, but if I really want to break up, I will definitely not open my mouth."

I was confused for two seconds, "Chris, your words seem to describe a man." He used HE, not SHE.

"Really?" Chris's face was redder than mine, and he barely opened one eye, "Did I just say something?"

"You're drunk, my friend." I took his arm. "Let me take you home. We should sleep and forget about today."
