The invitation letter issued by Changtian Technology this time includes not only partners and media, but also some important companies in the industry (Apple, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Lianxiang, etc.) as well as well-known universities and media around the world.
At this time, the entire media and mobile phone industry were confused.
Is Hanhai Technology really going to release a mobile phone?
How could the speed of Changtian Technology be so terrifying?
Today, Cook and Apple's top executives went to the retail store in Times Square to investigate the retail situation of the new generation iPhone and express condolences to the store clerks.
When he received the news on the way, he felt depressed and had a bad premonition.
However, today's offline condolences are to establish a good image for Apple, and it is also a people-friendly activity. He went to meet the fans queuing up at the Apple Experience Store. The most important thing is that many reporters followed him for interviews, so Cook put himself in good spirits.
, continue your activities.
When he arrived at the Apple Experience Store in Times Square, there were not as many users queuing up as Cook had imagined.
Users who have the desire to queue up at the scene are basically users who are obsessed with smartphones, know them well, and hope to buy a mobile phone as soon as possible to experience it.
Among the users, many are old users of iPhone 4S two years ago.
One of the biggest characteristics of these users is that they know Changtian Technology and the performance of Changtian Technology's hardware is very powerful.
Just last night, many users knew that Hanhai Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, was about to launch the iVast mobile phone, so many people were holding a wait-and-see attitude. Even if they wanted to buy Apple, they hoped to wait a little longer.
After the Hanhai mobile phone is released, take a look at the performance of the Hanhai mobile phone before making a decision.
Since everyone is a mobile phone enthusiast, of course there are ways to get Hanhai mobile phones that are not available in the US market.
Sure enough, when Cook saw that the number of people was sparse, which was in sharp contrast to the number of reservations, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Wilson, the manager of the Apple Experience Store in Times Square, quickly reported his work and said: "Mr. Cook, there were quite a lot of users queuing up here yesterday. I don't know why the number of people has dropped so much today... We are worried that it is because of the weather.
It may be that the weather is bad...bad weather will inhibit customers' desire to spend."
Cook looked at the sky. It was blue with white clouds and the temperature was just right.
The spring temperature in New York is very comfortable, and with the sun out now, the temperature feels even better.
Although it is morning now, there are already many tourists shopping in Times Square.
It's such a nice weather, but manager Wilson actually said that everyone couldn't come because of the weather?
This is not to say that the weather is bad, but that Cook is blind.
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd in the Apple Experience Store, and everyone turned their heads and looked outside.
This scene puzzled Cook and his team.
Cook also followed everyone's gaze and saw Jobs's face and an advertisement for Hanhai Mobile appearing on the big screen opposite the Apple Experience Store.
iVast!
Multiple screens throughout Times Square are advertising iVast.
People queuing up at the Apple Experience Store cheered, raised their phones one after another, and took photos at the big screen in the distance.
Advertisements are played over and over again,
Whether it is the technological beauty of Changtian Technology or the personal charm of Steve Jobs, many consumers can indeed look forward to Hanhai mobile phones.
Next to Cook, a customer said:
"In a few days, Hanhai Mobile will be released. How about we wait?"
"But, man, according to the results of the current hearings in the United States, it seems that we have no way to buy Hanhai mobile phones in the United States."
"I'm worried, Bill, I have channels at my disposal!"
The two people were discussing while lining up.
Soon he reached the front of the queue. Cook suppressed his inner unhappiness and looked at the two of them with a smile.
According to today's event schedule, Cook will randomly communicate with consumers.
Cook's assistant said: "Two gentlemen, do you want 5C or 5S? Our CEO, Mr. Cook, is here. You can ask him some questions."
The reporters and press officers accompanying Cook held recorders and cameras aimed at the two customers and Cook, waiting for the three people to communicate.
Cook also smiled and nodded at the two of them.
Last night, in preparation for today's event, Cook prepared a lot of information in advance, including some strange questions that reporters and consumers would ask.
Who knows, customer Bill said: "Um...sorry sir, we are not going to buy it."
This surprised reporters at the scene and made Cook very embarrassed.
Cook's assistant quickly asked: "Why? There are still many customers queuing up behind you. It's hard for you to get here. If you don't buy now, you will most likely have to queue up again later."
Bill shrugged and said: "I know this, sir, but the Hanhai mobile phone will be released soon, and we hope to wait a little longer."
This statement made everyone very embarrassed.
A customer queued up at the Apple Experience Store, and after finally getting in line, he actually said in front of Cook that he didn't want to buy it and wanted to buy a Hanhai mobile phone.
Seeing all the media cameras focused on him, although Cook was angry and holding fire in his heart, he still showed his gentlemanly side and said: "Yes, sir, I hope you will discover the benefits of Apple phones after using the Hanhai phone.
"
Cook's mentality at this time seemed to be very unhappy. He added: "Some brands have hired former Apple employees in the hope of replicating Apple's success. However, it is a pity that after Apple, there is only one mobile phone in the world that can do that."
It’s called iPhone!”
"We changed the world!"
After saying this, Cook was in no mood to stay here any longer. He hurriedly left the Apple Experience Store, ended his trip in New York, and took a plane back to California.
Just after returning to Apple headquarters in California, Cook received another news.
Apple received a letter from Hanhai Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, and asked Mr. Tim Cook to personally sign it.
After Cook opened the letter, it was an invitation from Changtian Technology.
Cook is invited to go to the Wangyue Hotel in Changzezhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xia Guo on May 15th to participate in the new product launch conference of Hanhai Technology Company.
As if to deliberately disgust Cook, the invitation also had Jobs's autograph at the bottom.
Cook: "..."
Cook was a little angry at first, but after thinking about it, Apple has been developing for many years, and from the first generation iPhone to the present, it has accumulated enough experience in mobile phone production and sales, and also has a huge base of users and fans.
And what does Hanhai Technology have?
What kind of mobile phone can a newly established company produce without any technical accumulation?
After thinking about this matter, Cook handed the invitation letter to his assistant and said: "Give this invitation letter to Daxia Country President Lu Lei and ask him to go to Changtian Technology to see the so-called
Hanhai mobile phone conference."
The assistant said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lu Lei...has received the invitation letter from Hanhai Company."
Cook: "..."
Cook took the invitation out of his assistant's hands, tore it into pieces and threw it directly into the trash can. His heart was extremely messy.
May 12, Changzezhou.
A few days before the press conference.
Song Yi reported to Chen Xiao about confirming her participation in the Hanhai press conference.
"Warwick CEO Yu Dong, Xiaomi CEO and founder Rebus confirmed that they will attend the conference in person...Ali Chairman Feng Yuan will personally attend the conference...Lianxiang will send representatives here, and Apple will send Daxia President Lu
Lei will participate...Samsung will send business managers from Suzhou and Hangzhou to participate, and the list of Sony participants will not have any titles."
It was determined that the number of people attending the press conference exceeded the number of invitations Chen Xiao sent out.
Most companies attach great importance to it, such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which send their CEOs to participate.
Of course, there are also companies that seem to be giving Changtian Technology face, but in fact they are showing contempt for Changtian Technology.
Such as Samsung and Sony.
One just sent a sales representative, and the other probably gave the tickets to someone unknown.
The number of reporters who came was even greater. In addition to the reporters who were invited by Changtian Technology, there were also many international media who came to participate. Chen Xiao still wanted to let them in.
The venue for this press conference is the rooftop garden of the Moon Moon Hotel. If there are more people, just add more seats.
Changtian Technology has also specially set aside 50 places for the general public, including students from colleges and universities.
Citizens can go to the official website of Changtian Technology to make an appointment, and those selected at random will have the opportunity to attend the press conference and stay in the super luxurious Wangyue Hotel for free for one night.
Technological products for civilian use require public participation in order to have a sense of gain and happiness.
Lu Ming, a sophomore majoring in computer science at Jiangzhou University, was lucky enough to be qualified to attend the press conference.
Lu Ming has always followed Chen Xiao as his role model, and it was under Chen Xiao's influence that he gave up the opportunity to study at Shuimu University and instead entered Jiangzhou University.
His goal is to become a graduate student at Changtian Science and Technology Graduate School and have the opportunity to study at Changtian Science and Technology.
Lu Ming didn't expect to get the chance to watch the Hanhai mobile phone launch conference. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He got up early and packed his luggage to take the train to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"Lu Ming, today is the weekend, what are you doing up at six o'clock?"
The fat roommate Dayong turned over and murmured a few words, feeling that the whole dormitory was shaking.
"I'm going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to attend the Hanhai mobile phone launch conference. I have to take the train a few days in advance."
The fat man muttered, "What's so exciting about the press conference?"
Lu Ming sighed and said: "There's nothing good to see, except that you can eat and drink for free in Changzezhou for two days and stay at the Moonlight Hotel at night."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "Damn! Stay at the Moon Moon Hotel!"
Although Wangyue Hotel does not have a star rating, it can be regarded as one of the best hotels in the country in terms of service and environment.
Lu Ming patted the fat man's bed and said: "Do you know that we live in dormitory 613? Do you know that the bed you sleep on is the bed that Chen Xiao has slept on before? Chen Xiao in college should also sleep at this time.
I got up for a morning jog and got ready to go to the laboratory, and you’re still sleeping. It’s really... ugh..."
After hearing this, the fat man jumped up and sat up. At this moment, he suddenly felt that even breathing was a waste of time.
May 15, Changzezhou.
In early summer, Nagaze Island is bustling with business, and the sea breeze smells of vitality.
On the roof of the Wangyue Hotel, the stage for the grand press conference was ready.
The huge LED screen constantly displays the development history of Changtian Technology in recent years, advertisements for Hanhai Mobile Phones, and the natural scenery of Changzezhou.
Because of the sea breeze, the press conference was not very hot.
At 5:30 in the evening, the audience began to take their seats.
The No. 1 VIP seat was occupied by relevant leaders from Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as leaders from universities that have a cooperative relationship with Xia Guo and Xiangtian Technology (of course, leaders from Shuimu University and Yenching University were also invited. After all, in biotechnology and semiconductor technology,
Changtian Technology not only represents the highest level in the country, but also represents the highest level in the world).
VIP seats No. 2 and 3 are company representatives who have a cooperative relationship with Changzhang Technology or have good relationships with them.
Alibaba’s Feng Yuan, Xiaomi’s Rebus and Warwick’s Yu Dong sit in the first row.
All media were also present.
Changtian Technology originally prepared 200 press seats. It also arranged high stands around the press conference venue so that reporters’ cameras could capture the live footage of the press conference from high places.
But the actual situation is that there are too many reporters here today.
Many media did not have invitation letters or came uninvited.
Of course, everyone who comes is a guest, and Changtian Technology also tries its best to provide convenience for everyone. The reporters at this time are extremely crowded. Under the coordination of the security personnel, each shooting team can only have a small position to shoot.
, what kind of pictures you can take depends on your own skills.
At 7:00 in the evening, Song Yi walked to the center of the stage.
"Please be quiet, everyone, our press conference is about to begin."
All reporters fell silent.
The lights at the scene dimmed, leaving only a bright light in the center of the stage.
Jobs, wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans, walked up from the back of the stage.
He wears his signature fluorescent glasses, has sparse hair, and is much stronger than when the iPhone 4S was released.
The body is no longer troubled by the disease, the mind is also greatly relaxed, and of course the complexion is much better.
There was a burst of warm applause and screams.
Especially the big names in the VIP seats, many of them had contact with Steve Jobs.
Everyone heard a few years ago that Steve Jobs was suffering from severe cancer.
Especially the year before last, everyone heard that Steve Jobs' time was running out, and the iPhone 4S became his legacy.
But I didn't expect that after Jobs came to Changtian Technology, things would turn around. Not only was his cancer cured and his body recovered, but he also became the CEO of Hanhai Technology, the most important subsidiary of Changtian Technology.
The screams and applause were endless and lasted for several minutes.
Jobs opened his mouth to speak several times, but was drowned out by applause.
Then Jobs pressed his hands and said to everyone: "I am very happy to be able to meet you again in Nagasawa two years later. The last time I stood on this stage was when the iPhone 4S was released two years ago."
"At that time, I always dreamed of developing a new smartphone, making mobile phones a part of our lives, and letting mobile phones change our lives. I hoped to change the world."
"But in the end I found that our world has too much baggage and too many stubborn diseases that cannot be changed."
"Just like my cumbersome body, even if I go to the hospital hundreds of times and undergo countless surgeries, there is no way to cure it."
"So I came to Changtian Technology to reshape my liver, spleen and lymph. At Changtian Technology, I also know that the dirty and hopeless old world should be broken, and we need to create a new world."
"We_will_be_ew_world! For_you, For_me, For_us!"
Jobs' opening remarks made all the audience and reporters stand up and burst into warm applause.
Some Steve Jobs fans who came from afar even had tears in their eyes!
