1991 Starting from the core

"...So, I think electronic and digital products are essentially an extension of the computer field."

After Jobs expressed his views on computers and digital products, he gave a summary.

As a product manager and a pioneer in the personal PC industry, Jobs' views will naturally focus on the PC field itself.

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded in agreement on the opposite side.

At this time, the host George took over the topic and said humorously: "Then can I understand that Apple will not get involved in the field of digital products?"

Jobs glanced at him and said, "No, that's what we're going to get into next."

The host was startled, and at the same time there was a commotion in the audience. Students are whispering among themselves, is Apple entering the field of digital products? What is that going to do?

You know, Apple's peak period has long passed. Although Steve Jobs staged a comeback last year, Apple's product business has not made many adjustments. It is still dominated by personal PCs and Apple OS, followed by notebooks and PDAs (handheld computers).

And PDA, in essence, is still a "computer" equipped with an operating system.

"Mr. Steve, can you satisfy our curiosity?" the host glanced at the audience and asked with a smile.

"Sorry, no." Jobs shrugged.

"Oh... It seems that it must be a disruptive product, which is very exciting." After speaking, the host looked at Su Yuanshan again.

"Mr. Steve just talked about his belief that although electronic digital products will be the popular direction in the future, they are still inseparable from PCs. I don't know what Mr. Su's different views are."

Su Yuanshan picked up the phone and smiled lightly.

"Mr. Steve and I share the same view."

As he spoke, he put down the phone and changed into a relaxed posture.

The host was obviously stunned for a moment and looked at Su Yuanshan in disbelief. Su Yuanshan also looked at the other party with a smile, and relaxedly spread his hands, indicating that he really had nothing to say.

…

Off stage.

Zhou Xiaohui glanced around, and when she saw that Carter was no longer around, she took a few deep breaths - she couldn't find a place to vent her anger.

Obviously, Su Yuanshan was angry.

——She has been with Su Yuanshan for so long. If there is anyone in the world who understands Su Yuanshan better besides Academician Su Xinghe and his wife, that person must be her.

Su Yuanshan now seems to have no need to be angry at all, and even has a cheerful face, full of self-restraint. But she can use the head on her neck to guarantee that as long as the host continues to be dishonest or someone dares to provoke him, he will face merciless ridicule.

Su Yuanshan has always been a "good guy" in Yuanxin. Only Zhou Xiaohui has seen Su Yuanshan become "acrimonious" in private.

It's the kind of crushing that stands on the high ground of intelligence and logic, the kind that would make people want to jump off the building with humiliation.

"Uh..." After being obviously panicked, the host glanced to the side of the camera, then lowered his head and turned over the card, while the expression on his face kept changing. When he raised his head again, a professional smile appeared on his face again: "But Mr. Su, the information I have here shows that Yuanxin seems to be more interested in promoting digital products."

"For example, this time, you are representing Yuanxin to launch the Imusic and vidoo series of mobile phones - if I understand correctly, these are standard electronic digital products, right?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded, and at the same time picked up the phone again.

In the audience, Zhou Xiaohui took a long breath.

After all, this time we are here for publicity, not to quarrel with others.

…

"Every company has its areas of expertise and its own development direction. I agree with Mr. Steve's view because computers are indeed the basis for all data processing. At present, digital products do also need to be processed by computers. Perform data processing and interaction.”

After the host gave up his petty thoughts and began to perform his duties, Su Yuanshan returned to the topic.

"But there is something I want to add about the interaction process."

"Not long ago, an Internet conference was held in Silicon Valley, and one of the topics was cross-platform data interaction. In our view, electronic digital products, in addition to being an extension of the PC, can also be As the product extension and entrance of the Internet.”

"For example, the imusic we launched this time is a product that can directly download music from the Internet to a flash memory device smaller than a Walkman for listening at any time."

The host looked at Su Yuanshan, his eyes flickered for a moment and then he nodded slightly: "Can you show me?"

"Can."

Su Yuanshan took out the MP3, then stepped forward and handed it to the host.

The two people's eyes met, with their backs to the camera. Su Yuanshan glanced at him lightly and said softly: "Mr. George, Steve Jobs came here to give me face. I hope you can respect him."

Ignoring the host, Su Yuanshan returned to his seat and smiled at Jobs.

Jobs also shook his head slightly and spread his hands.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for Su Yuanshan, he definitely wouldn't come - of course, it can't be said that Su Yuanshan's face is so great that he wants to help. He mainly hopes to hear what Su Yuanshan will know about future electronics and technology when facing the public. What attitudes do digital products hold and what comments do they make?

If he doesn't come, Su Yuanshan will definitely find Gates.

Rather than watching the two people compliment each other on the stage, it would be better to listen to them in person.

"Su, although imusic can use the MP3 format, you still have to use a PC to complete the download." Jobs ignored the host above and directly picked up the microphone and asked.

"Yes, so I support your point of view. PC is still an irreplaceable product in the future. But I tend to believe that at some time in the future, its entertainment attributes will gradually be replaced by other emerging devices, and it will be more Prefer office properties.”

"The jobs that come will become more and more fragmented with the development of the Internet and technology."

"Fragmentation?" Jobs raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well... it can be understood as mobility. The kind that can work anytime, anywhere, even at home." Su Yuanshan explained briefly and said with a smile: "So, the future must be an era of mobility. From this point on, in my It seems that Apple has chosen a good direction."

The direction Su Yuanshan mentioned here naturally refers to the direction Apple is heading towards notebooks and handheld computers.

Jobs smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude.

The two people chatted casually, and the host kept smiling for a long time. Then he finally found an entry point and interrupted the conversation.

"So, Mr. Su, can you tell us what the future work methods and entertainment methods will be?"
