At night, Tim Cook returned to the hotel, carefully considered his words, then dialed Jobs's personal phone and reported everything.

"Shenyueguang, BOE?"

Jobs, who was far away in California, was holding a mobile phone in one hand and two cow dung capsules in the other hand. "No problem, I agree to him, but the price will be increased by up to 5 points."

"No, Steve, absolutely not!"

Tim Cook sternly stopped him: "I would rather increase the quotation by 10% than let logic dominate the supply chain."

"I understand, I understand, but Tim, time, time!"

Jobs said excitedly: "We must make the iPhone, an epoch-making product, appear as soon as possible. The damn screen is missing now. With it, maybe it will be released at the conference next year and make Apple great again!"

"Steve, iPhone alone is not enough. Only good products and a good supply chain can create a great company. You haven't forgotten what the supply chain was like before I joined Apple, right?"

Tim Cook politely declined.

"Fake, they are all those useless and incompetent people."

Jobs yelled: "I have invested so much money and raised so many people, why can't Apple develop transparent glass projected capacitive technology, but Logic can?"

After cursing for a while, when he was tired of cursing, he drank some water and swallowed the capsule into his throat, "What are you going to do?"

"Wait, wait for Logic to negotiate with us."

Tim Cook said in a serious tone: "Only by taking the initiative, will China agree to our conditions? Monopoly is the best. If it cannot be monopolized, it must at least transfer the production process to Shenghua and 3M. In any case, the touch screen supply chain must

It’s in our own hands.”

"Will Lu agree?" Jobs asked.

"No? A product that no one uses is a waste product!"

Tim Cook is full of confidence. lmusic can make the "touch screen" concept popular, but it will definitely not make the "capacitive screen" popular, because the global MP3 market is already a stock market, a red ocean.

There is not much difference between a resistive screen and a capacitive screen, and the cost is relatively cheap. A resistive screen is enough for MP3 players. What kind of capacitive screen do you want?

"Is your information accurate?"

Jobs doubted: "Are you sure the touch screen is only used on logical music players and tablets, not mobile phones?"

"That's right, Lu personally admitted that he doesn't make mobile phones."

Tim Cook said categorically: "Motorola and Ericsson have also confirmed this, but their definition of a mobile phone is very strange. It is called a 'feature phone', which is a very strange name. But no matter what, after Logic launched LogicX, it has not released it again.

New machines."

Jobs rubbed his stubble and became more and more suspicious: "What if he breaks his promise, or he just deliberately lies to you? In fact, the logic behind it has been building mobile phones, maybe building another mobile phone similar to the iPhone."

Tim Cook frowned, "It's unlikely. If mobile phones are really being manufactured in secret, there are absolutely clues that can be found, such as industrial design drawings. Don't the suppliers know that what they are supplying is logic?"

"Isn't that what we do!"

Jobs snorted coldly: "Pretend to be another company, so that suppliers don't know that their products are provided to Apple. Even the circuit diagrams are fake. According to China, this is called 'building plank roads openly and building warehouses secretly'."

Lu is a Chinese, how could he not have read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"

"Hiss~"

Tim Cook took a breath and felt that it made sense. He couldn't refute it for a while, but then he thought about it. Lu Fei is a respectable person after all, so he should have some respect, right?

"Face? Does he have one?"

"Steve, you may be a little biased against Lu. Otherwise, Logic's September press conference is coming soon. How about we go and see if there are any new mobile phones?"

……………

On August 24, the press conference was in full swing.

The engineers also worked day and night to cooperate with Lu Fei's rehearsals and worked overtime to solve his various unreasonable requests.

"Why does the computer freeze as soon as the video is finished playing?"

Lu Fei resisted the urge to smash the engineering machine to the ground, and glanced fiercely at Andy Rubin, Bai Yongxiang and other engineers.

Andy Rubin explained: "Lu, we are still fixing this bug. We can only play a short section of the video for now."

"It crashes after playing a complete video. This smartphone is useless!"

Lu Fei couldn't bear it anymore and vented the anger he had squeezed out during the rehearsal, shouting at everyone, roaring like thunder.

However, everyone present has long been accustomed to this kind of filial piety. They are all stressed to the extreme and exhausted physically and mentally, because engineering machines always have errors of one kind or another. They either shut down or get stuck. It is simply a nightmare.

"I don't want to hear an explanation, and I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry'. I just want to hear how to solve it!"

After Lu Fei finished getting angry, his tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he noticed that many engineers were on the verge of mental collapse. He breathed out: "Aimu Saori."

"I should, sir."

The engineers shrank their heads, knowing in their hearts that Mr. Lu didn't want to accuse anyone. He was just under greater pressure than they were, so he subconsciously said these hurtful words.

"After browsing the web and then sending an email, the computer freezes?"

Lu Fei was operating a new engineering machine, "What do you do for food? This bug hasn't been fixed yet!"

"Mr. Lu, this takes time."

Bai Yongxiang wiped away the sweat on his head with trembling hands: "How about sending an email first and then browsing the web during the exhibition? In this order, I guarantee that your computer will never crash."

"Why don't we stop showing the physical objects?"

Just when everyone was racking their brains to come up with ideas, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, which exactly expressed the thoughts of all engineers. If the demonstration failed, it would be a devastating scene.

"emm, this is a solution."

"The frequency of accidents is too high. What if something happens?"

"Yes, we won't demonstrate it in real form for now. After all the bugs are resolved and the phone is launched, we will release a few trailers."

"What a great idea, what a great idea."

"What good!"

Faced with the crowd's retreat, Lu Fei slapped his hand on the table, raised his voice and shouted, "Anyone who dares to cancel the show again, get out." He ignored everyone's objections and insisted on a live demonstration.

The conversation then changed: "How do you plan to solve the network signal problem?"

"Lu, Mr. Lu, I think we can ask AT&T to set up a signal tower like the last press conference, and we can also secretly install a Wi-Fi signal transmitter under the stage to shorten the transmission distance."

Bai Yongxiang raised his hand weakly.

"That's right!" Lu Fei looked at the others, "Are there any more?"

"Yes, the software can be changed so that no one present that day can occupy the wireless frequency used by the lphone."

"That's right!"

Lu Fei smacked his lips, "What if the wireless network fails and needs to be restarted?"

"If you restart the phone, the signal strength in the upper right corner of the phone will definitely change. How about making a software that will always display a full signal on the screen regardless of the strength of the on-site signal that day?"

"Look, isn't there a solution?"

Lu Fei said with a serious tone and a serious tone: "Remember, this conference is equivalent to the 'first moon landing' of smartphones. The lphone is the moon landing rocket. If it succeeds, it will be a small logical step and a step forward for mobile phones."

Big step, we will change the world, so we have to make sure nothing goes wrong, understand!"

"clear!"

Everyone was given a bowl of chicken soup for the soul and their spirits were lifted.

“Empty words are based on nothing but written evidence!

"

While Lu Fei was pouring chicken soup and drawing cakes, he baked large cakes with salary, bonuses, and official leave, and fed them to all the gentlemen. They were stuffed so full that they almost choked to death.

"Mr. Lu, drink water."

Zhang Tianmei looked at him with smoke coming out of his throat, raised his hand, and cleverly handed over the water.

"Gulu, Gulu~"

Lu Feimeng took a few sips and exhaled comfortably: "How many replies have we received to the invitation letters we sent to our friends and businessmen?"

"Microsoft, Huawei, Philips, Nokia, Ericsson, BlackBerry, Sony, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments..."

Zhang Tianmei took out the notebook that she brought with her and pulled out a list, from software to hardware, from IT to IC, "Google is not very interested in the conference, but Larry Page said he will come, and I hope to be there after the conference."

Let’s talk about oil pipes.”

"When he sees lphone, he won't think so."

Lu Fei took out his cigarette case and shrugged.

In the previous life of YouTube, at this time, there was only one traffic portal from Google, but now there are Line, Penguin, Facebook, Microsoft IE, etc. to divert traffic. It has not only taken off, but has already reached the sky.

The videos of Microsoft and Google were so shaken that they couldn't even eat the exhaust fumes. They didn't want to work hard anymore. They waved banknotes and shouted "shut up and take my money", eager to hug the lap of a penguin.

Just in time, you can use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Google.

"Larry Page also revealed to us that at Apple, it is said that Steve Jobs will also come." Zhang Tianmei spoke with a slight tremor.

"you sure?"
