Reborn Millennium Player

In the battle of mobile phone brands, there is often a unique trump card.

Apple has IOS, Huawei has its self-developed Kirin SOC, Samsung has explosive grenades, and Xiaomi has the so-called ultimate cost-effectiveness...

Even the Smartisan mobile phone is almost a replica of Apple in terms of appearance and internal structure, but it can differentiate itself from competition by injecting soul into it with Luo Taijun's jokes.

What's more, Luo Taijun's idol, Steve Jobs.

Even though the Apple iMaga has the shadow of the Logic iPhone, the lines of the appearance, the ecology of IOS, the proportions of the screen, especially the iconic notch screen, and the hole dug out at the top are completely different from the iPhone, and not like the first generation iPhone 3G.

On the contrary, there is a vague shadow of iPhone 4.

Not a plastic casing, but a metal frame.

It is not a rounded design, but square and flat.

It’s truly an Apple!

Although Iphone was caught off guard, I was able to readjust the plan and make something outstanding in just half a year.

But following 1 to 2 is far less shocking than going from 0 to 1. It surprised everyone, but it was not completely amazing.

Under the stage, the staff distributed sample machines one by one to let the audience experience it. The IT reporters in costumes were divided into several groups, whispering around iMaga like primary school students.

"I can't say that it is exactly the same as lphone, but there are definitely traces of imitating lphone. Can this be called great?"

“Is Apple great because of innovation?”

"Yes, Apple has never been a great company that only pursues originality. Isn't MAC's mouse operation and graphical interface just imitating Xerox? Apple has always been a company that relies on imitation to become great. This is their corporate culture."

"That's right, didn't Steve Jobs also say that good artists imitate and great artists plagiarize?"

"There is no shame in plagiarizing Lu's iPhone. After all, Lu is a great genius and Steve Jobs is just an excellent artist."

"From lmusic, to Spotify, to lphone, I feel that Steve Jobs has been living in Lu Fei's shadow."

"..."

Facing everyone's whispers, Jobs stood in front of the curtain that read "Make Apple Great Again" and said seriously: "The greatness of Apple is that it never rejects any great ideas, whether it's 'imitation' or 'imitation'"

No matter what we learn, we don't feel ashamed, because imitation can also be divided into 'bad imitation' and 'breakthrough imitation', or 'ugly imitation' and 'beautiful imitation'. iMaga is the ultimate beauty."

Damn it, can it still be like this?

Being able to talk about plagiarism and imitation in such a refreshing and refined way made Lu Fei feel shameless, and he was really ashamed of himself.

“As for what’s the beauty of iMaga?”

Jobs looked around and threw the prototype into the air, drawing a parabola and landing in the center of the stage. When it hit the floor, a "crack" sound echoed throughout the hall.

"Hiss~"

The reporters held their breaths and watched helplessly as he picked up the dropped phone again, revealing its intact front, running the interface without any glitches, and still running smoothly.

Although the touch control is not as flexible as the iPhone, it is durable and far ahead of its peers. There is a beauty called hardness.

"This is the greatness of Apple!"

Jobs talked endlessly about "the artistic journey of a steel plate" and finally said plausibly: "Apple, like Newton, is a giant standing on the shoulders of others!"

"Bravo!"

"Well done, Steve Jobs!"

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

In an instant, there was thunderous applause and screams.

"Wow, what Steve just threw scared me. I didn't expect iMaga to be as strong as Nokia." Paul Jacobs cast a joking look.

"Paul, didn't you notice Steve Jobs' little trick? There was a thick carpet where the phone was thrown."

Lu Fei used his finger to indicate the thickness of the carpet.

"You're saying the rug became iMaga's savior."

Paul Jacobs took a closer look and saw that this was really the case!

"Jobs played a good trick."

Lu Fei smacked his lips and said, "I have to find out what brand it is, so I can order one as soon as possible."

"Steve is really bold enough to dare to play something like this and not be afraid of screwing up?" Paul Jacobs took a breath.

Imagine, if in front of so many reporters, the screen breaks, or even completely malfunctions and cannot be turned on, what serious consequences will it cause?

But then I thought about it, how can I do it without burning the boat?

There is a big mountain like lphone standing in front of us!

"Did it smash it?"

Lu Fei licked his lips, Steve Jobs was really a tough opponent.

"Lu, aren't you worried at all?"

Paul Jacobs was surprised,

"Worried? Why do I feel like it's just starting now?"

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, even a little excited.

We are not afraid of Apple's resistance, but we are afraid that Apple will not resist. Logically, the current conference will basically be in September, and there will be at least half a year to perfect the iPhone and Android systems.

Not to mention, the upcoming new series of Logic.

While the two were chatting about the dual-core processor S3 that Qualcomm was developing specifically for logic, Jobs was also introducing the iMaga's concept, appearance design, internal structure, hardware functions, software functions, and the GSM standard in an orderly manner.

"Wait a minute, GSM?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise: "iMaga doesn't support 3G, it's just a 2G phone?"

Paul Jacobs said with a smile: "As Steve said just now, Apple's baseband chip uses Infineon. Although the single chip is highly integrated and the area is not large for installation, the disadvantages are also obvious. Infineon only produces 2G

Chip, otherwise, we wouldn’t have cooperated with Qualcomm on 3G.”

"Maybe it's not that simple."

Lu Fei thought for a long time and suddenly thought that when he approached Qualcomm and Infineon to cooperate, wasn't it just to connect with European and American operators and jump into the European and American markets?

"Are you saying that Apple chose Infineon because it wanted to focus its sales on the European market?"

The more Paul Jacob thought about it, the more it made sense.

"That's right, just like Logic purchased your baseband chips, it also introduced Infineon and Intel to share orders." Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

When choosing a chip partner, operators are increasingly important.

After all, local protectors exist everywhere, and one's own family must help one's own family. For example, Vodafone's tender for contract aircraft is almost a clear expression of its favor for Infineon.

Even in the entire European market, operators such as Vodafone Anglia, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom France and others may become potential partners as long as they are equipped with Infineon chips.

Just like with Qualcomm, it can be used unimpeded in the United States.

"Speaking of this, Lu, I think it's time for our cooperation to go a step further. You don't want to be on the same level as Apple, do you?"

Paul Jacobs' eyes flashed with meaning.

"How do you want to deepen cooperation?" Lu Fei said.

Paul Jacobs repeated the "marketing incentive agreement" mentioned by Tim Cook before as it is: "In exchange, we will give Logic a more favorable royalty discount."

"The current patent fee for each iPhone is US$7. How much discount can Qualcomm give Logic?"

Lu Fei has already heard the implicit message, which is to cut off any cooperation with Intel and completely bind Logic to Qualcomm to compete with the WiMAX Alliance led by Intel.

Paul Jacobs said seriously: "$6.50."

"I don't like fractions, so I'll round it up, $6."

Lu Fei said seriously, I own the iPhone, Qualcomm owns the Snapdragon, and the Intel alliance is like a chicken and a dog, so what can I do?

Apples are just the icing on the cake.

After some haggling over 50 cents, Paul Jacobs endured his heartache and finally agreed to compromise.

"If you are willing to reduce the price, I can help Qualcomm win Intel's WiMAX alliance faster." Lu Fei said mysteriously.

"How to do it?"

"It's being kept secret for now, so how much will you give Apple?"

"$7.50."

"If Steve Jobs knew that he was being treated differently, he would definitely be very angry. Are you afraid of forcing Apple to go to Intel?"

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised, and he gave away the 50 cents as a profit, and got back from Apple without anyone noticing.

"We value your logic more."

Paul Jacobs disagrees, haha, Steve Jobs?

Give him face and call him Steve. If you don’t give him face, I will call the iPhone to the ground!

………………

At 8:30 in the evening, the Apple press conference finally ended.

Lu Fei walked out side by side with Larry Page and Elon Musk. As soon as he went out, the media guarding the door immediately swarmed over him like dogs that had smelled the smell, and surrounded him.

"Lu, what do you think of Apple's imitation logic?"

"Jobs said that iMaga has surpassed iPhone, do you agree?"

“Would logic sue Apple for this ‘copycat’ behavior?”

"..."

Reporters are trying every possible means to add fuel to the fire, trying to pit Apple and Logic against each other, preferably with a river of blood. But as everyone knows, the biggest enemy of both Apple and Logic at the moment is not the other party, but the feature phone camp led by Nokia.

The smartphone camp currently only talks about unity, not division.

"Good designs always have similarities."

Lu Fei said generously: "lphone defined the concept of smart phones and also defined the structure of smart phones. It is inevitable that subsequent followers will have the shadow of lphone.

I will not resist or even condemn the imitation of Steve Jobs and Apple. On the contrary, I very, very welcome to join because smart phones need more like-minded manufacturers. Logic is willing to join hands with them to lead global users into a new era of smart phones. In order to change World, I am willing to suffer some losses and let Apple imitate.

Of course, please don’t forget to pay the patent fee.”

"Hahaha~"

The whole audience immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Here, I want to announce something important!"

Lu Fei glanced around and shouted loudly: "In order to welcome more friends to join the ranks of smart phones, Logic and Google have unanimously decided to consider making the new generation of smart phone system, Android, completely open source and open to anyone interested in it." Vendors interested in cooperating can use it free of charge.”

"What?!"

Larry Page on the side was also shocked even though he knew about it.

Not to mention other mobile phone manufacturers. Kallasvuo, who was already halfway there, couldn't help but stop and look back. HTC President Wang Xuehong, who had already got on the bus, immediately led her men and ran back to the exit in a hurry. She stood outside the crowd and looked at Mr. Lu.

Apple's IOS is so tightly controlled that it is completely closed source!

Is Android willing to be open source?

Friends from LG, Samsung, and Motorola looked in disbelief. You must know that the sudden rise of iPhone has shaken the morale of traditional mobile phone manufacturers. And now, Apple is also resolutely rushing to the smartphone camp. From Sony to Ericsson, any company Every manufacturer knows very well that they must pay attention to smartphones, not to mention completely reversing the trend, nor can they cling to feature phones.

But at this time, Mr. Lu said he was not afraid of having his homework copied?

Is there such a good thing?

"Lu, are you really willing to make Android open source?"

The "Wired" reporter's face was full of excitement.

"The purpose of Android's existence is to accelerate the arrival of the smartphone era. If the logic is like Apple's and only works in IOS's own small circle, how can it make smartphones good?"

Lu Fei almost didn't say "insect", and said overly: "We believe that using an open source approach for our Android system will never affect logic. Anyone who is willing to join the Android camp, I promise, will not treat those who use us in good faith.

Technology people file any patent lawsuit, including Apple!"

"Hiss, awesome!"

Elon Musk stared straight at his back.

I originally thought that I was already awesome enough. I was building rockets and new energy vehicles. I never expected that Mr. Lu was even more awesome. He openly announced that he would make the closed Android system available for free at the Apple launch conference.

, so cool!

If Tesla has such a day in the future, I will do the same!

"Friends and businessmen can come to me at any time. The door of logic is always open to you, and no one will be turned away."

Lu Fei said something lightly, and under the cover of Wang Ben and other bodyguards, he squeezed out of the crowded crowd, leaving a meaningful figure behind for the confused people present.

Unknowingly, everyone forgot about Apple’s press conference, and their minds were filled with the shock of “open source Android system”.

Inexplicably, Apple’s new phone was robbed of its limelight.

"This concession of 1 US dollar is worth it!"

Paul Jacobs was extremely satisfied. This was enough to shake the foundation of the WiMAX camp. As long as a condition was added, if mobile phone manufacturers wanted to join the Android Alliance, they would have to withdraw from the WiMAX camp. Of course, logic would have to be given more discounts.

Thinking of this, he asked someone to tell Tim Cook that Qualcomm was willing to offer Apple a patent licensing fee discount of US$7.50.

"What? $7.50!"

In the backstage lounge, Jobs slapped the table: "Isn't iMaga enough to shock him?"

"This is already the biggest concession Qualcomm has given, that's what Paul said." Tim Cook frowned, "He doesn't seem to be afraid that we will switch to Intel's WiMAX."

"Isn't he relying on Lu?"

Jobs' face was tense and livid: "What Qualcomm gave Logic was definitely not $7.50."

"After all, iPhone sales are there."

Tim Cook said gloomily: "Although iMaga is not a success this time, it is not a failure either. There is only half a year, and there is no time to tear it down and redo it. We can only improve on the original plan to achieve the performance just now.

I believe the results will not be any worse than those of lphone."

"If Lu hadn't stolen our trade secrets..."

Jobs gritted his teeth and said, "After searching for so long, we still haven't found out who leaked the secret!"

"There was no answer before, but now there is an answer."

Tim Cook kept a straight face. He actually lied when talking to Paul Jacobs. He looked through the whole apple and couldn't find the insider. But the senior management didn't give up. There must be one!

"who?"

“The mole is Google!”

“What, Google?!”

Jobs' eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at Tim Cook for a long time before slowly saying: "Tim, are you sure?"

"It's very possible, Steve. Do you remember that in order for Google to install their mapping software, we shared some of the original designs of the Mac with the Google team and even showed them to Larry, Brin, and Schmidt?

Pass the engineering machine."

"Go on."

"Otherwise, why can't we find this mole? It's because the mole is not an Apple insider, but a Google employee. We never doubted that Google would betray us from the beginning to the end."

"This is just speculation, is there any evidence?"

"Lu just gave us evidence that Google is 100% defective. Android has a share of Google. And just now, in front of reporters, they jointly announced that they would open source Android!"

"Quickly, get Schmidt, no, Larry, and Brin to me right away, right away!"

Jobs was so angry that he picked up the cup on the table and smashed it on the ground. There was a "pop" sound and the pieces flew all over the floor.
