Chen Xiao made this call to Jobs’ personal mobile phone.
It happens to be evening in the United States now, and Steve Jobs is sitting on a futon, meditating.
Steve Jobs is a Buddhist.
Especially after he went to the intensive care center in Changzezhou to recuperate, he read a lot of Buddhist classics from the Xia Kingdom.
Only then did he discover that the Buddhist classics of the Xia Kingdom were the authentic Buddhism, which was completely different from the Buddhist classics that had been filtered and improved by the East.
The Central Plains Buddhism of the Xia Dynasty emphasized that all good deeds will lead to the same destination, which is a kind of mental and moral cultivation, while the Eastern Buddhism emphasized the recitation of Buddha's name.
Jobs has been learning Chinese since the Xia Dynasty. Next to him is a Chinese and English version of the "Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra".
When Jobs saw the call from Chen Xiao, he stopped meditating and stood up to answer the phone.
Chen Xiao said with a smile on the phone: "How is your health, sir, during this time?"
Jobs stood up and took a sip of warm water, which was a habit developed in Xia Kingdom.
"My health is okay, but I was used to eating rough tea and rice in Nagasawa. Now that I'm back and eat steak and pasta every day, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Jobs needed to recuperate before and after the surgery.
Therefore, strictly follow the diet plan formulated by the intensive care center.
One of the most common meal packages is a variety of rice porridge and some stir-fried vegetables.
This is a recipe commonly used by those recovering from illness in the Xia Kingdom.
In the medical industry in the United States, there are no such particularities.
Chen Xiao said: "Since sir misses the food in Changzezhou so much, are you interested in living in Xiaguo for a while?"
Jobs suddenly had a hunch that Chen Xiao's call this time must not only be concerned about his body.
Jobs was very excited.
On the one hand, it has been several months since he had the surgery. Smaller re-examinations can be completed in the United States, but re-examinations on drug supply and colony density of symbiotic colonies can only be completed at Changtian Technology, so he must
Go to Xia Kingdom.
Chen Xiao obviously had something to say, and it was probably not convenient to say it clearly on the phone.
Jobs readily agreed and said: "In three days, I will come to you with the best coffee in California."
Three days later.
Jobs took a plane to Nagasawa.
After retiring from the position of CEO of Apple, Jobs has been staying at home and rarely going out.
Therefore, this trip to Xia Kingdom did not attract more people to pay attention to it.
Even when Jobs left, relevant personnel at Apple still don’t know.
After traveling for more than 10 hours.
Jobs arrived in Nagasawa.
This time he not only brought Chen Xiao local California specialty coffee, but also brought Chen Xiao a coffee machine.
The first thing I did when I arrived in Nagasawa was to go to the intensive care center to check my body and replenish the nutrient solution for the bacterial colonies in my internal organs.
The next day, Jobs met with Chen Xiao again in Changzezhou.
Jobs personally used the coffee machine to grind a cup of black coffee for Chen Xian.
"I know you like drinking tea. In fact, coffee and tea have the same function, which is to control caffeine for the human body."
"This stuff produces dopamine and makes people happy!"
Jobs handed the ground black coffee to Chen Xiao and said, "Try it."
Chen Xiao slowly tasted the black coffee without any sugar or milk.
For Chen Xiao, there is no taste that can attract his taste buds except bitterness.
This may be the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
Chen Xiao and Steve Jobs were not polite either.
He put the coffee on the table and said: "Maybe the little sister in my office likes it more, but I personally have no interest in it."
Jobs didn't care either.
In the process of communicating with Chen Xiao in the past few months, both of them have been relatively candid and sincere.
It's more like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, talking about what they have to say, rather than those old foxes in the business world who make excuses.
Jobs laughed when he saw Chen Xiao looking so embarrassed.
He joked: "I don't know if the bacteria in my body are accustomed to the taste of Xiazhou. This time when I came back and breathed the air of Nagasawa, I felt refreshed and very comfortable."
The place where the two of them had coffee was Chen Xiao's villa on Tianyue Island.
Outside the villa area is a large garden, and further ahead is the beach.
In Suhang Bay in September, due to the influence of tides, the waves fluctuate greatly.
The two could hear the sound of waves lapping on the beach, which greatly relaxed Jobs' mood and spirit at this moment.
Suddenly there was an idea in his mind.
If you can settle down in this place for a long time and practice meditation with peace of mind, you may have a different understanding of life.
After the two chatted.
Let’s talk about business.
Jobs informed Chen Xiao about Cook coming to see him.
Because Steve Jobs worked at Apple for a long time, although he resigned, many Apple team members are his old friends.
So he is very familiar with Apple's way of doing things.
Jobs said: "The reason why Apple is able to achieve today's success is because of Apple's decisive style."
"When you think of a good idea, as long as the technical team feels it can be implemented, the idea can be developed within half an hour."
Chen Xiao nodded, fully agreeing with this truth.
For the entire mobile phone industry, Apple is a disruptor and a changer.
The most fundamental reason is that Apple has very strong execution capabilities and dares to innovate and change.
Jobs took a sip of coffee and said: "So I think Apple should immediately terminate the production of iPhone5 and start producing 4G mobile phones immediately."
Jobs said: "This time Changtian Technology and Nokia cooperated to simultaneously promote the construction of 4G networks in Asia and Europe, which indeed made many mobile phone manufacturers around the world unable to react for a while."
"It also made consumers very interested in 4G mobile phones."
"This measure is indeed unexpected and will bring iPhone 5 sales to a standstill."
Jobs looked at Chen Xiao and said: "But consumers' expectations and waiting period are time-limited. If Changtian Technology or Nokia does not launch a 4G mobile phone within this waiting period, or the performance of the launched 4G mobile phone is not satisfactory,
.Then the mobile phone market will definitely be taken over again by Apple, Samsung and other brands.”
When Jobs said this, he looked at Chen Xiao seriously.
Steve Jobs is no longer part of Apple.
He also speaks much more directly now.
Chen Xiao looked at Steve Jobs teasingly.
Although Comrade Lao Qiao is no longer working in the mobile phone industry, judging from what he just expressed, his attention and mental state have never left the mobile phone industry.
He has been following the development of the global mobile phone industry at home.
I even feel a little angry about Apple and sad about its misfortune.
Jobs has been waiting for Chen Xiao's answer.
He wants to know when Changtian Technology or Nokia will launch their own 4G mobile phones?
The most important thing about 4G mobile phone technology is the 4G chip.
At present, companies such as Samsung and Qualcomm have the ability to carry 4G basebands on chips.
As long as the network is rolled out, it is very likely that these brands will launch 4G mobile phones on a large scale as soon as next year.
Chen Xiao said: "There is no rush at all."
"Now that we have acquired Nokia, we are simultaneously promoting the construction of 4G networks in Asia and Europe."
"Then it is definitely impossible to hand over the 4G market created by Changtian Technology to others."
When Jobs heard Chen Xiao's words, he felt something was wrong.
"What is Changtian Technology's plan?"
Chen Xiao said: "Mr.'s inference is very correct, and I will always believe that Apple will immediately cut off the production of iPhone 5, and even make iPhone 5 one of the shortest-lived mobile phones in Apple's history."
"After cutting off the production of iPhone 5, Apple will definitely start the research and development, production and sales of its own 4G mobile phones immediately."
"My guess is that the next generation iPhone will definitely not be iPhone 6, but may be a patch model of iPhone 5 with a tail."
"The cheap iPhone 5 patches are most likely to reassemble the unused hardware of the iPhone 5 and add a gimmick, or to change some appearance, or to make some small improvements in the chip, equipped with a chip that can use the 4G network
, sell it at a relatively low price.”
"The more expensive iPhone 5 patch is likely to be Apple's true 4G phone,"
"It's just because Apple wants to test the waters, and the development and production time is too rushed to allow Apple to make major design adjustments to the iPhone, so it doesn't dare to call the iPhone 5 with a tail as the iPhone 6."
After saying this, Chen Xiao kept smiling and took a sip of tea.
After hearing what Chen Xiao said, Jobs was extremely shocked and dumbfounded.
He suddenly felt.
If Apple and Changtian Technology are rivals instead of partners, then they really think their lives are too long.
Because Chen Xiao has a very thorough understanding of Apple’s layout for the next year and thinks exactly the same as Steve Jobs.
iPhone5 has already ordered so much hardware, and Apple has also paid a lot of costs in advance.
If this hardware is wasted like this, it will definitely not be in the interests of the capitalists.
Therefore, we will definitely use these hardware and add a 4G chip to make a new mobile phone.
Time is already very tight, and Apple does not have time to design a new mobile phone. In a short period of time, Apple will definitely contact Samsung to find ways to further improve the configuration and appearance of the phone, and launch a patched version of iPhone 5.
Why not call it iPhone6?
Because neither the performance improvement nor the appearance change of the mobile phone are enough to support it to become a new generation of iPhone mobile phone.
It can only be used as an enhancement patch for iPhone 5.
Jobs nodded with great admiration and said: "Cook chose to give up cooperation with Changtian Technology, which is Apple's biggest loss."
It was only at this time that Chen Xiao answered the question that Jobs had just asked.
"Changtian Technology really wants to develop and sell its own smartphones."
"Otherwise Apple, HTC and other companies won't buy our hardware, and we will have no choice but to digest our opinions."
Jobs burst out laughing when he heard this.
This feeling is as if the landlord has raised a big fat pig and plans to kill it and eat it because it is too fat to sell.
"The time for mobile phone release has actually been decided. When will Apple release the next generation mobile phone that supports the 4G standard? Then when will Changtian Technology release our own mobile phone."
When Jobs heard this, he was convinced.
He heard that Chen Xiao's words had two meanings.
One is that Changtian Technology really wants to make its own mobile phone.
Another thing is that Changtian Technology is confident enough in its mobile phones and believes that it can definitely defeat Apple.
Chen Xiao chose the time to release his mobile phone after the new generation of iPhone was released. The purpose of doing so was actually to compete with Apple at the same time, and he had enough confidence that his mobile phone performance and sales would be able to surpass Apple.
Jobs suddenly broke out in sweat.
What kind of mobile phone will Changtian Technology develop?
It actually makes Chen Xiao have such a determined attitude to compete with Apple.
The reason why Apple can succeed.
Not just because of the ultra-fast chip or excellent appearance design, but also because of the excellent closed system.
Does Changtian Technology have any of these?
Changtian Technology seems to have none.
Just when Jobs was in a daze.
Chen Xiao said to Jobs: "Since Apple doesn't have a long memory if it dies once, then I will let her die twice."
"Mr. Jobs, Bird Technology, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, used to make mobile phones, but after the company released several feature phones, it fell into dormancy."
"Now Changtian Technology is interested in merging Bird and Nokia, restructuring and renaming it, and establishing its own Hanhai mobile phone brand belonging to Changtian Technology."
"I wonder if sir, you are interested in serving as the CEO of Hanhai Technology?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Jobs: "Sir is already rich enough, so we offer him the same treatment as Apple and give him 1% of the shares of Yuedong Internet."
"Of course, in return, the Changtian Technology Critical Care Center will be fully responsible for the future cultivation of the symbiotic bacteria in Mr.'s body, as well as the health care of his body."
Jobs was a little excited, but also a little worried.
He knew that this time Chen Xiao asked him to come to Changzezhou, there must be something important to discuss.
But I didn't expect that Chen Xiao would actually invite herself to become the CEO of a newly established mobile phone brand.
Jobs even wondered whether Chen Xiao hoped that he could play some role in the design of iPhone 4S and develop chips and operating systems for Changtian Technology's smartphones.
Just when Jobs was about to say that he didn't understand technology and that the team was all at Apple, Chen Xiao took out a box from the drawer.
He pushed the box in front of Jobs, "This is the smartphone that Changtian Technology developed last year, perfected and mass-produced this year."
"We named it Hanhai 1, which is iVast-1 in English. Sir, please don't reject me first. Take a look at the phone before making a decision."
Jobs was excited.
Changtian Technology actually developed its own mobile phone last year, but it has not been until now!
So what was developed last year fell behind this year?
