Rebirth of the Internet Overlord
0399. Apple's technical blockade of Emperor Penguin
/*Come on, let’s open the curtain!*/
{Time: February 2008}
{Location:China}
"fu~ck!"
On the night when Spark Technology released the official version of the Android system, Jobs slammed the report document about Spark Technology on the table. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but punch it again.
He couldn't help the anger in his heart, so much so that when he suddenly raised his head, everyone sitting on the sofa could see his anger from his violent but stiff movements without looking into his eyes.
This is truly thunderous and wrathful...
"Why? Tell me why." Jobs looked at the circle of people in front of him and glared angrily, "At the 1998 IMAC new product launch conference, I returned to Apple after 12 years. At that time, I had already given
Our products define the underlying meaning of the i-Series.
imac represents the perfect combination of the Internet and Macintosh. We are committed to developing the best computers to make surfing the Internet simple and fast. Therefore, the i contained in imac is the i in the word Internet (inter).
Therefore, we showed the definition of i as early as 1998 on the ppt, individual (unique), instruct (guide), inform (inform) and inspire (enlightenment), which have given life to our i series, and
This was followed by the casting of our second i-series iPod.
But even though we have defined the i of the i series in the brand so perfectly, our team can actually miss the registration of iphone, ipad, ibook, icloud, and itouch, and let a mere 18-year-old boy rush to register them?"
Jobs' voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and he walked around from his desk to the Apple brand director.
In front of him, the 98-year-old veteran who returned to Apple was sitting on the sofa, his head lowered and not daring to make eye contact with him. Jobs felt that he had no way to vent his anger, so he could only walk around him and stand in front of everyone.
behind the sofa.
It wasn't until he stood behind everyone and looked out the window for a long time that Jobs finally calmed down the anger in his heart.
After all, the main reason for his anger is still because of his own negligence. But this reason does not lie with him, because how can anyone clearly lay out the corresponding products one after another when they don't know the future direction of their company?
Apple's iMac only submitted its brand application half a year before the product was launched, and was officially defined as iMac, and the same is true for the iPod music player.
Come to think of it, that young man who is called a genius, who has gradually registered iPhone, iPad, ibook, icloud, and itouch since 2001, his purpose at that time should be to make some money by controlling these brands, right?
Otherwise, how could a young man with little experience in the world have such a long-term strategic plan? Does having so many brands mean that he has defined his future development direction early on?
This is impossible!
No one has such a clear plan for the future!
Better than myself, who has not gone through a long journey in life before he can find his own direction?
Perhaps, he should have been lucky enough to understand what he meant by the Apple i series at that time, so he took the first step to register the relevant brands? It was only in the process of enterprise development that he was optimistic about the corresponding market, so he got involved in the corresponding market.
field?
But he was only 17 or 8 years old at that time, so how could he have such careful thoughts?
But what does the iPod brand application he submitted in 2001 mean?
If the iPod produced in October 2001 had not been trademarked as early as 2000, that damn genius's brand application submitted half a year late might have stolen their iPod brand!
How could he continuously steal their brands that Apple has only gradually wanted to register in recent years?
How dare you promote his products through Spark Technology’s press conference?
iPhone is a smartphone based on Spark's nqx microkernel operating system Android!
Is this young man who became the COO of PayPal at the age of 18 not only an Internet genius who created the instant messaging software Skype, but also someone who thinks he has a long-term plan in the field of smart hardware?
The more carefully Jobs thought about it, the less he understood it.
From what momentum did such a person emerge?
Although there were six people sitting in the room, the few people frozen on the sofa were as quiet as stone sculptures. Only Jobs, who was pacing back and forth in the office, was still using his footsteps to prove that there was someone in the room.
After a long time, Jobs sat on the sofa across from several people.
As soon as he sat down, he looked across at the executive vice president in charge of Apple products and asked, "What's going on with the magnetic charging head of our MacBook?"
The MacBook magnetic charging head technology mentioned by Jobs was the magnetic charging technology that Apple originally planned to use on the MacBook Pro products launched in 2006. Originally, when the team thought about this technology, they happily thought that it must be a new technology.
A disruptive and unparalleled technology. However, when they went to register the patent in 2005, they discovered that an independent company had already registered this patent for use, appearance and technology.
This unexpected discovery made the macbook pro less colorful at the 2006 macworld conference!
The executive vice president raised his head after hearing this and said, "We have traced it back and found that the other party registered this technology as early as 2005, and this company is also an offshore company. The company's shares and legal person information are unknown, so that
We can't contact them."
As he spoke, his eyebrows wrinkled, "We suspect that the same guy named Ning registered this technology under another identity. Because the brands of iphone, ipad, ibook, icloud, and itouch were originally owned by a divorce company.
shore company.
It was also after 2006 that these brands were gradually transferred to the corresponding brand management companies under the name of Mr. Ning’s Emperor Penguin Group."
"It's better not to think about this matter," Jobs interrupted him by waving his arms. After thinking for a while, he said firmly, "Apple has gone through 42 years of development history since its founding in 1976. How could it be possible because of this?"
A small mistake and a young man appearing out of nowhere will affect our pace?"
Scanning the crowd who were looking up at him, Jobs still said firmly, "With a history of 42 years, Apple is not that easy to surpass in the field of combining software and hardware. If the former genius boy competes with our Apple,
Let’s just let him come over as he pleases!”
"The world does not yet belong to their generation of young people! We have enough confidence to meet any competitor!" Jobs waved his fist, "He is a talented young man with a background in the Internet, and he will not be good at all fields.
Especially in the hardware field that Apple is involved in, it is no longer just about hardware, but also software. We have been designing on the os system for many years, and have been researching on the integration of os systems and hardware for many years. Moreover, there is no considerable accumulation and layout in this field, and there is no corresponding
He won’t be able to use the supply chain to match it!”
Jobs said with a sullen face, "Whether he does it intentionally or not, when I start to regard him as a potential competitor, I will see how he breaks through the various blockades I set for him!"
***+***
Ning Zimo didn't know that when he came out of the cinema with Sima Lin, a full week had passed since the blockade that Jobs had set for him.
Perhaps, even if he knew, he didn't have time to think about it at this moment. At this moment, he was racking his brains to find a way to face the embarrassing situation caused by his subconscious actions.
Two seconds ago, as they were walking out of the cinema exit, a naughty kid rushed out from behind them, roaring.
When he heard the voice and turned his head subconsciously, he could already see from the corner of his eye that the naughty child was just a few steps away from crashing into Sima Lin.
In front of Sima Lin was walking a pregnant woman with staggering steps. What if she bumped into her one after another?
In just one second, Ning Zimo made a subconscious move.
He put his arms around Sima Lin and took a step back with the other leg.
The next second, the naughty kid bumped into his leg steadily.
Fortunately, the impact brought by the naughty child is not great.
Ning Zimo not only stabilized his figure, but also protected Sima Lin in his arms and the pregnant woman walking in front of him.
However, before he could say anything, he heard a stern voice behind him, "Why can't you walk without eyes? It's killing all our children~~"
Before he could finish the word "du", the person who made the sound just glanced at Ning Zimo, then grabbed the child and headed towards the exit to hide from the crowd.
There was a cursing woman next to him, but the man whispered something and lost her voice.
Ning Zimo frowned as he watched the man keep hiding his figure, but he heard a voice coming from his ear, "Have you seen anyone?"
Looking back, Ning Zimo realized that Sima Lin, who was in his arms, had a blushing face.
Although it is said to be an encirclement, it is actually almost the same as an embrace.
Hearing Sima Lin's voice, Ning Zimo felt his face getting hot.
People walking around kept looking back when they passed by them, which made Ning Zimo dumbfounded.
He quickly let go of his hand and explained to Sima Lin, "It's okay. I just feel that it's a little strange for someone so aggressive to see me as if I'm seeing a ghost."
After breaking away from Ning Zimo's arms, Sima Lin held her arms with one hand, but felt that her face was so hot that it was almost radiating heat.
She remembered that the place she was holding with her left hand was exactly where his big hands had held her when he had just embraced her. But as soon as she turned away from this thought, she felt as sweet as honey.
It seems that from the day I met him, every time I encountered a crisis, he would always step forward to protect me.
Sima Lin kept changing scenes in her mind, and suddenly thought of that day seven years ago.
Finally, she looked at the faint scar under Ning Zimo's right eye and stretched out her hand to tug on her sleeve, "Since there's nothing wrong, let's go."
"Oh...oh...let's go."
Ning Zimo quickly followed her pull and walked out side by side with her.
It wasn't until the crowd had dissipated for a long time that Zhao Tong took Ma Yan and his son out of the passage.
Seeing his cautious look, Ma Yan complained softly, "Did you get it wrong? Isn't he the richest man now? Why do he still come to these places to watch movies?"
"You know p, who knows the preferences of rich people." Zhao Tong said back, "Guess who else I saw?"
"who?"
"Xi Mengyun's best friend was held in his arms! Fortunately, it was just a profile view, so she probably didn't see me." Zhao Tong said angrily, "The richest man probably didn't see me either."
"Hey, this one is really big to play with. He is in the same grade as Xi Mengyun, so he must be at least 4 years older than him." Ma Yun frowned and glanced at Zhao Yiyi again, whispering in his ear.
, "Are you still thinking about Xi Mengyun?"
"You can pull him down. It's better to have two birds in the forest than one in the hand." Zhao Tong put his arm around Ma Yan's waist and whispered, "What's more, you are so moist, how could I be obsessed with a woman I can't get."
"
"Bah, I won't believe your nonsense."
"We are already an old married couple, why do you still care about this?"
Zhao Tong took advantage of the situation and gently pinched the soft flesh in his hand, but what he got was a look of spring water in response.
"Dad, Mom, that person blocked me just now, why didn't you scold them?"
Zhao Tong's interest was interrupted by his son, which immediately annoyed him, but he still warned his son, "Son, I can tell you. Remember that face just now, and stay away from him in the future!"
Ma Yan stretched out her hand to hold her son in her arms and whispered, "Son, it's always right to listen to your father."
Afterwards, Ma Yan asked Zhao Tong, "If you meet him here, would you like to give Zhou Zhigang a call?"
Zhao Tong thought for a while and quickly took out the phone, "Yes, I have to remind that guy. He has to pay attention, otherwise, our business will not be able to continue."
…
When Ning Zimo and Sima Lin walked out of the cinema, they had already put aside what had just happened.
When taking Sima Lin to eat at a food stall, she brought the topic to the area he was "good at".
Faced with the question she just extended, Ning Zimo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "The so-called technological blockade is not a problem in private manufacturing. I have already found a supplier with better technology than them!"
