After careful consideration, Jobs prepared to take the heads of his market research and product departments to Xia Guo.
At the first stop, they will go to Yanjing to visit some well-known figures in the industry, and let this well-known figure connect them so that they have the opportunity to meet Chen Xiao.
In 2009, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was already well-known in China.
Because Steve Jobs was not famous for his mobile phone.
Rather, it was computers, TVs, and even iPods that have become very popular in the past two years.
iPod has subverted the definition of MP3 and has a wide range of fans all over the world.
But the success of the iPod is also thanks to Changtian Technology.
Because a few years ago, the best-selling MP3 player in the world was Changtian Technology's Lingyue MP3.
But later Chen Xiao changed the focus of his work and directly cut off the MP3 business.
So this gives the iPod an opportunity.
From iPod to current iPhone.
Apple's progress and industry-leading revolution are visible to everyone.
At least within the industry, everyone has watched Apple's rise in the past two years and feels that if Apple, where Steve Jobs worked, makes mobile phones, it has a certain chance of surpassing Nokia.
When Jobs visited Xia Guo this time, he brought a very large team.
It also directly attracted the attention of global media.
The New York Times: Jobs, who has not been abroad for a year, chose to visit Xia State this time to make final preparations for Apple’s industrial chain.
"Washington Post": Apple godfather Steve Jobs is about to visit Xia State. It is expected that Jobs will meet with the head of Changtian Technology this time.
With reports from many American media, the global spotlight has been on Steve Jobs.
Because compared to the lags of the Android system, judging from the Apple mobile phones released in the past two years, Apple not only has a smooth system, but also has a quite rich application.
iOS is not only installed on Apple mobile phones, it is also used on Apple’s popular product, the iPod.
Whether it is surveys from world-renowned industries or predictions from experts, they all agree that current iPod users will become iPhone users in the future.
The iPod user base is extremely large.
In Xia State, Jobs's name and his legend have long been talked about by college students, and he has become an idol in the hearts of a generation.
The Xia people of this era had a very strange phenomenon.
I appreciate successful people from abroad more than I admire successful people from home.
When they heard that Steve Jobs was coming to Xia Guo, the literary young boys and girls at the university had already started discussing it on the forum post bar.
The excitement is beyond words.
Under the attention of everyone, Uncle Qiao set off.
…
In Changzezhou, Chen Xiao, who is fishing at the beach, has been very depressed recently.
Take today for example.
The weather in Nagazezhou in autumn is quite comfortable.
Chen Xiao originally wanted to ask someone to go fishing today.
As a result, Shen Wei said that she had something to do, but Wen Qi still said that she had something to do.
Not to mention Gao Miao, Galaxy Energy Company has just been established. Whether it is industrial technology or personnel arrangements, they still need unified planning and sorting, and they are extremely busy every day.
After working for a long time, I couldn't get a date with anyone, so I went to the beach to fish alone, carrying my fishing rod.
It stands to reason that autumn fish fishing in Changzezhou is easy.
Because the temperature here is still relatively low in winter, fish still need to supplement a large amount of protein and fat in autumn to prepare for the winter.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao lined up two fishing rods here, but he didn't even catch a single black turtle or grouper.
On the contrary, the uncle next to him, who is also the family member of an unknown employee, always catches the fish with the same accuracy.
The uncle only fished for a few hours and returned with a full load. Seeing that Chen Xiao felt a little pitiful, he gave some small fish and crabs to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao had a wry smile on his face, but looking at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that were delivered, it should be enough to make a pot of seafood porridge tonight.
Chen Xiao, who didn't catch any fish, was preparing to go home with his fishing rod.
Suddenly, I felt that I had suddenly become the most idle person in Changtian Technology Park.
But I really can’t think about this.
As soon as Chen Xiao walked home, Wang Xiang was waiting for a call.
"Jobs, with his team of more than 50 people, hopes to visit Nagasawa and meet you."
Chen Xiao expected that Apple sent a team to Xia Guo to discuss cooperation with Changtian Technology.
After all, HTC's use of Changtian Technology's hardware some time ago has shown amazing charm in the entire North American market and has won the favor of a large number of users.
Htc's stunning performance will definitely attract the attention of Steve Jobs and Apple.
But Chen Xiao did not expect that Jobs would lead the team in person.
Because Chen Xiao was reborn, he still has a certain understanding of Jobs in the parallel world.
Let’s not talk about Jobs’ innovations in technology. Let’s just talk about his character. He was actually a bit arrogant.
In the world before Chen Xiao was reborn, Steve Jobs liked Buddhism and Zen, so he traveled to Japan many times.
Not only to attend business activities and technology seminars, or to negotiate some technology cooperation, but more importantly, to visit local Buddhist and Zen masters.
But Jobs never came to Xia Kingdom, the holy land of Buddhism and Zen.
Because in the world where Chen Xiao was reborn, Jobs had talked about his evaluation of Xia Guo to friends or reporters more than once.
Jobs believed that Xia people lacked innovation and that copycat products were rampant. He personally disliked Xia people very much.
It was precisely this kind of disgust that led to the ban on sales of the first two generations of Apple mobile phones in Xia.
Because he felt that Xia people were not worthy of using apples.
It wasn't until the third generation of Apple's iPhone 3GS came out that it was allowed to be sold in Xia.
However, Jobs may not have imagined that within a few decades after his death, Xia Guo would become the single market with the largest sales of Apple mobile phones.
Xia Guo’s hard-working workers and stable social environment have made it Apple’s largest manufacturing base in the world.
It can be said that Xia Guo has achieved Apple’s glory in the next 10 or 20 years.
Chen Xiao could guess that this time Jobs came to visit Xia Guo, and the most important thing he hoped to meet with him was to talk about Apple's hardware issues.
Steve Jobs always regarded mobile phones as works of art rather than simple technological products.
He not only pursues the performance of Apple mobile phones, but also pursues the shape and weight of Apple mobile phones, etc.
Therefore, Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal memory and camera lithium battery are very in line with Jobs’ requirements and may become Apple’s alternative hardware.
So if Steve Jobs comes to negotiate the contract, will Chen Xiao sell or not?
You must buy to sell, but how to sell and at what price requires detailed discussion.
Chen Xiao has already made a clear plan for the future industrial layout of Changtian Technology.
The entire earth is very big, with many countries and many markets.
If Changtian Technology launches the Hanhai mobile phone now, it will definitely face two problems.
The first problem is that in the Xiaguo market, smartphones are not that mature, and most people still use feature phones.
If you rush to launch the Hanhai mobile phone now, you may have a thankless experience in the domestic market.
Because the technology of Hanhai Mobile Phone is too advanced, there is currently no place for survival in Xia Country.
The second question is that if the Hanhai mobile phone is launched overseas, the super performance of the Hanhai mobile phone will definitely cause a sensation overseas.
However, the current overseas mobile Internet market is not mature yet, and even if the Hanhai mobile phone is a smartphone, it is not a necessity for overseas consumers at present.
According to the urinary nature of Westerners, they will definitely be banned after seeing the explosive sales of Hanhai mobile phones.
Then Hanhai Mobile will lose another opportunity for development.
There is no soil for development in China, and it may be blocked abroad.
It is definitely unwise to launch Hanhai mobile phone at this time.
So when will the time be right?
It is to deeply integrate Changtian Technology’s hardware with overseas technology companies.
On the one hand, there is a situation where I am in you and you are in me. At that time, it was logical for Hanhai mobile phone to be released globally.
Changtian Technology may not sell mobile phones for the time being, but it can still make money by selling mobile phone parts.
At the same time, Chen Xiao must be patient enough and wait for Xia Guo's technology and consumer market to slowly mature and mature.
This will allow Android and Apple phones to gradually enter the Xiaguo market and cultivate the habit of using smartphones among Xiaguo people.
Waiting for consumers in Xia to become accustomed to using smartphones, and after building mobile Internet platforms one after another, it is logical to launch Hanhai mobile phones in China.
Can Changtian Technology develop the smartphone market?
If you can do it, you can definitely do it.
But if we weigh the time cost and industrial cost, pioneering is extremely uneconomical.
HTC, which was the first to make Android smartphones, died early, and Motorola, which used the Android system to sell well, also died, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
Some things don't mean you can get good results just by entering the market first.
Rather, it requires a proper opportunity.
After understanding this, Chen Xiao knew the bottom line when negotiating with Apple.
Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "Changtian Technology welcomes Apple's team to visit."
Steve Jobs himself has his own halo.
However, he was accompanied by the media and heads of relevant departments all the way from Yanjing to Suhang City, and then from Suhang City to Changzezhou.
Changtian Technology is also very generous this time and is completely open to the media for interviews.
When Jobs' special car arrived in Changzezhou, he looked at the layout of Changzezhou Changtian Science and Technology Park, and he was still a little shocked.
Steve Jobs has traveled to many countries and visited many technology companies.
There are few technology companies that integrate nature and technology elements like Changtian Technology.
Changzezhou is not only the headquarters and science and technology park of Changtian Technology, but also more like a landscape garden with the style of Xia Kingdom.
Wang Xiang politely came over to greet him in advance. Before he could shake hands with Jobs, reporters came swarming to interview him.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, Changtian Technology is in talks with Apple. Will the two parties conduct some commercial cooperation?"
The reporter's question was very funny. Wang Xiang joked: "I'm afraid you have to ask Apple about this question, are they coming to Nagazezhou for vacation?"
"Mr. Wang, I heard that the cooperation between Changtian Technology and HTC broke up. This time, Changtian Technology and Apple are talking about making up for the lack of a cooperation agreement with HTC?"
This question seems to be saying that Changtian Technology is begging HTC and HTC disagrees.
Wang Xiang said helplessly: "Changtian Technology welcomes cooperation with any company in the world."
Soon the reporter was isolated by the security personnel of Changtian Technology. Jobs led a team of more than 50 people and walked over in a mighty manner.
Wang Xiang stepped forward and shook hands with Jobs.
Although Wang Xiang is a top student and can speak English, he still insists on using Chinese when chatting with Jobs.
Moreover, Changtian Technology is not equipped with a translator.
Fortunately, Jobs came prepared, and through the translator, the two parties still had a good conversation.
Whether it’s Steve Jobs or Wang Xiang.
They all know that this time Apple comes here to discuss cooperation.
But how to discuss cooperation depends on the bargaining chips held by both parties.
So from the moment Jobs stepped out of the car, every move of Changtian Technology was in preparation for negotiations.
Wang Xiang did not immediately invite Jobs back to the hotel to rest, nor did he invite Jobs to the conference room for a conversation.
Instead, he took Jobs to visit the critical care center on Tianyue Island and the microbial power station of Changtian Technology.
These two things have nothing to do with Apple phones.
But Chen Xiao just wanted to make such an arrangement.
This arrangement makes Apple somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, it took Jobs more than a day to arrive in Nagasawa from the United States.
Non-stop, no rest.
It stands to reason that Changtian Technology should invite Jobs to take a break first and then negotiate tomorrow.
Little did he know that Changtian Technology wouldn't let him rest at all, but instead asked him to visit.
Especially when visiting the intensive care center on Tianyue Island, Wang Xiang deliberately took Jobs to the area dedicated to overseas patients.
Jobs was shocked when he saw many Western-looking patients who were brought back to life but struggling to survive under the treatment of intensive care centers.
He also repeatedly asked some patients whether these diseases are terminal illnesses that cannot be treated in the United States?
In the end, Jobs got the answer in the affirmative.
Sure enough, when the arrogant Jobs looked at all this, his expression suddenly changed.
Jobs visited many technology companies.
But this time, he knew very well that Changtian Technology was not easy to control.
On the second day, under the gaze of the media and reporters.
Chen Xiaocai met with Steve Jobs.
In fact, Chen Xiao still had some strange feelings in his heart.
After all, before his rebirth, in that parallel time and space, Steve Jobs was a godfather-level figure in technology.
Chen Xiao was actually able to meet him.
However, time and space are different, and the background is also different.
After a while, Chen Xiao became very calm.
After the two parties shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Jobs was of course very excited about Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage.
And expressed some ideas that Apple hopes to purchase Changtian Technology hardware.
Jobs was completely sure of the quality and performance of Changtian Technology's hardware, so he didn't hold back this time.
"We hope to purchase 1 million pieces of carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage from Changtian Technology. The total amount involved should be tens of millions of dollars."
"We hope that this procurement cooperation can comprehensively establish a strategic partnership between the two parties."
Jobs' opening was about a cooperation agreement worth tens of millions of dollars, which made Wang Xiang uneasy after waiting for a while. Everyone looked at each other and whispered.
