at this time.

Apple Inc. of the United States.

The board of directors convened urgently.

"Steve, when will our iPhone be released? I heard that the magical Dongfang Ye has released a Huafeng mobile phone, which is claimed to be the most advanced mobile phone in the world?"

"Yes, Cook, you are the CEO of the iPhone department. How is the progress of our iPhone research and development?"

"Can it be released this month? We can't fall behind the Chinese."

"That is, we have invested so much money in research and development, so the iPhone should be launched earlier than the Chinese."

Everyone on the board of directors asked Jobs, the company’s chairman and president, and Cook next to him.

Another director asked directly:

“I heard that the patent for Huafeng’s multi-touch mobile phone is licensed from Apple. This is simply a transfer of profits!!”

"I have long said that we cannot cooperate with the Chinese. They are just here to steal our technology."

Jobs snorted coldly, "That's enough. I know when the iPhone will be released."

He did not sell the face of the directors present, and everyone on the board of directors dared not speak out.

First, Jobs took over Apple for the second time and brought Apple back to life.

He is deeply loved by everyone in the company and can be said to be the spiritual symbol of Apple.

Secondly, Jobs is different from what he was back then. He is no longer a small shareholder who can be driven away from the company at will.

Over the years, Ye Feng, with the assistance of Jobs, spent nearly US$2 billion through Xinyao Fund to acquire 20% of Apple shares.

All were handed over to Jobs to exercise the voting rights of the shares.

In addition to the 7% stake held by Jobs himself, and nearly 10% stake held by the company's management.

Jobs's voting rights in Apple's shares are as high as 37%.

He is truly a major shareholder.

This is almost absolute control in an old listed company with dispersed equity.

Therefore, the directors on the board of directors are different from Steve Jobs.

They usually just focus on making profits. They really don't dare to do anything to Steve Jobs.

As soon as Jobs spoke out, he shocked the board of directors.

His face softened, "When we cooperated with Ye Feng from China, the iPhone-related patent exchange was decided after discussion by the board of directors. I don't want to hear any more bastard talk about settling scores."

Jobs thought for a while and explained: "We did not suffer a loss by cooperating with the Chinese. We obtained relevant industrial design patents, and the progress of developing iPhone was accelerated by at least a full year, saving at least 200 million US dollars in R&D.

Investment. And if the iPhone comes out one year earlier, we can recover the cost one year earlier."

After hearing Jobs' words, the board of directors fell silent.

That's fine if it's beneficial to cooperate with the Chinese.

They only care about making money.

"Okay, Steve, let's go back to the previous question. Is there a timetable for the launch of the iPhone?"

Jobs raised his head and looked east.

"I have already set the final time for the launch, which will be May 1 next year. As for the press conference, it should be before Christmas this year."

"May 1st? Isn't this the same day as the launch of Huafeng mobile phone?"

Some directors got the idea.

Surprised: "Are our iPhones going to compete with Huafeng Mobile Phones?"

"No, we didn't fight in the ring."

Cook explained for Jobs: "The Huafeng mobile phone was first launched in Chinese, and it was first launched in China. Our iPhone was first launched in the United States, and the language was English. There is no conflict between the two."

"If both are successfully issued, it will take at least two years before there is any overlap in sales."

"Our biggest competitive location may be in Europe."

"Besides, although our iPhones and Huafeng phones are both smartphones with similar appearances, their operating systems are completely different."

"The biggest advantage of our iPhone is our Apple operating system."

"This is a mobile operating system inherited from Apple Computer, very cool!"

After hearing Cook explain so much, everyone on the board of directors felt relieved.

Although they had no dealings with Steve Jobs, they were still very confident that Steve Jobs was making electronic products.

I believe that the iPhone will definitely sell well and surpass the iPod to become another popular product of Apple.

Subsequently, Apple announced the time of the iPhone launch event on its official website.

The fruit fans were very excited and talked about it a lot.

"Look, our iPhone is also about to be released?"

"Strange, why should I add the word "ye"?"

…

Rongcheng.

Luhu Eco-City.

Inside the largest four connected villas.

Mo Shaoming and Song Yuanting stepped onto the large art museum-style spiral staircase together.

"Oh my god, the stairs in Ye Dongxin's house are too big." Song Yuanting complained.

Mo Shaoming smiled and said: "In my opinion, the biggest feature of this villa is its spiral staircase. Look, it is located in the center of the house. It is majestic and makes you feel like you are in a museum. The space on each floor is surrounded by

Stairs, stairs can also lead to each floor.”

"Yeah!!" Song Yuanting nodded.

The outdoor spiral staircase is small and leads directly to the second floor.

After the owner disembarks from the private pier, he can not only enter the house from the living room on the first floor, but also enter the house through the spiral staircase to the terrace on the second floor.

Two moving lines enter the home, which not only ensures the independence of each space, but also creates a living experience of intimate communication with wind, snow, rain and dew in nature.

However, this staircase alone looks expensive, and Dong Ye's four conjoined villas are too expensive.

The two walked up to the second floor.

This is a very large living room.

The entire hall has large panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The 360-degree all-round water view of Luhu Lake fell right in front of you, giving the two people a wrap-around view.

It is conceivable that when the owner comes home and opens the door, he will have the super noble feeling that the king has returned and he is the only one in the world.

"Don't be stunned."

Mo Shaoming tugged at the corner of Song Yuanting's clothes, "Director Ye said that at least 200 luxury homes here need to be built. You also have the opportunity to buy one here."

"Buy a set? How much does it cost?"

Song Yuanting didn't dare to think about it.

"Then you work hard. Director Ye also said that he has left dozens of sets of rewards for those who have made outstanding contributions to the group." Mo Shaoming said.

At this time.

A lazy voice sounded, "Hey, Senior Brother Mo, Senior Brother Song, what are you talking about?"

The two turned around and looked.

I saw Ye Feng and Yang Yuqing walking in dressed in casual clothes.

"Director Ye! President Yang! Hello!"

"Director Ye, we are talking about why Huafeng mobile phones don't use our own chips?"

Mo Shaoming said: "Our IC design institute under Qingfeng Group has been designing and developing smartphone chips for ten years. Through testing, our designed mobile phone chips can fully achieve the performance of Huafeng mobile phones.

Request. The whole hospital asked me to ask, Director Ye, why don’t we use the chip we designed ourselves?”

"Yes. Why not use our own chip design and get it from SMIC for OEM production?"

Song Yuanting, representing SMIC, also asked his own questions.

Why did Ye Feng choose to use mobile phone chips designed by Qualcomm and manufactured by Semiconductor Manufacturing Company?
