Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter Seventy-Six: The First iPhone

On August 1, 2009, after a few days of upgrading the research room and working overtime, Wen Ming finally successfully manufactured the iPhone—the engineering machine.

After importing the ios system he made into the first engineering prototype, Wen Ming felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart. Although his knowledge of making iPhone hardware and software comes from the very "simple" things like dreaming, he made it by himself after all.

The other dozen or so researchers in the laboratory also looked at their boss with admiration at this time. They all knew very well in their hearts that although they also had the identity of researchers, this mobile phone called iphone could completely Said it was done by their boss alone.

"I'm not flattering, boss."

After a researcher took the iphone excitedly, he said sincerely: "This mobile phone is the most beautiful mobile phone I have ever seen, except for the previous Motorola V3, there is no one."

Hearing the Motorola V3, Wen Ming knew very well that in some years in his previous life, the magical machine he dreamed of was the Motorola V3 once named after the blade.

But even if it is a non-smart phone, the ultra-bright flip phone V3 with the name of the blade has a thickness of 13.9mm, and Wen Ming's iPhone is not only a smart touch-screen phone, but also only 9.2mm thick.

The engineering prototype made by Wen Ming himself is no different from the upcoming mass-produced iPhone. Both the appearance and the internal system programs are manufactured according to the same model and uniform specifications.

The iphone, which once made the media of another world claim to have invented the mobile phone again, appeared like this, and it was also complimented by more than a dozen researchers.

The iPhone wandered around in the hands of more than a dozen researchers, and after half an hour, it returned to Wen Ming's hands again.

If it weren't for the fact that the iPhone doesn't have any software at this time, Wen Ming has reason to believe that this time will become longer.

After taking back the world's first ever iPhone, Wen Ming issued a task, asking other researchers to assemble some other iPhone parts and import them into the iOS system to start debugging.

When other researchers started working, Wen Ming started playing with his iPhone.

When the iPhone 4 came out in the previous life, Wen Ming had never even heard of it. It wasn't until later when the iPhone was hard to find, that Wen Ming was surprised to hear that this kind of mobile phone existed in the world. However, after being shocked, he did not buy an iphone4 because he had no money at that time.

It wasn't until later that the price of iphone4S dropped due to the upcoming launch of iphone5, that Wen Ming finally caught up with the trend and picked up the enviable iPhone in the subway. The price to pay is naturally a few months of frugality.

But since the launch of the iphone5, the Apple mobile phone has become an arcade machine in China at that time, and holding an Apple mobile phone can no longer be the envy of others. Famous also switched to the domestic mobile phone camp because of income problems.

Of course, the slogan of supporting domestic production was also his explanation to himself at the time.

(ps: No bragging, no black, personal experience, please don't bring rhythm.)

And in this world, he will be the first person in the world to use an Apple mobile phone, and even, in the future, he will always be the first person to use an Apple series of products, and products from other companies will be completely out of reach for him .

Because Wen Ming's iPhone has not been obtained yet, it cannot be used directly. But this is not a problem for Wen Ming now. He only needs to use another mobile phone to make an accessory, and then he can use the hardware connection to make this engineering prototype of Wen Ming a normal mobile phone.

certainly,

On the surface, a mobile phone connected to a brick-shaped accessory is very unattractive.

(And ps: purely personal speculation, I don't know how to do it.)

Walking to a quiet place, Wen Ming used this iPhone to make the first call, and the caller was Sith.

"Guess what I used to call you?"

Sith on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that you invented the iPhone?"

When Wen Ming heard Sith say that he invented the iPhone, he didn't feel blushed at all, but said very proudly: "Yes, I invented the iPhone!"

After receiving the news, Sith was very happy and said, "In three more days, I should be able to complete this negotiation. Remember to reserve one for me."

Wen Ming said there was no problem, but he didn't want Sith to come back in three days.

"You know, in order to be able to talk to you from this phone, I made an accessory out of another phone."

Wen Ming looked at the 'brick' connected to the iphone, and said, "I hope you can go directly to the communication company to complete the cooperation request we made before. In this way, we can directly install the sim card on the iphone."

If you want to make a mobile phone, it is impossible not to contact those communication companies, because the mobile phone is not a product that can be used alone, it must be used with a SIM to be called a mobile phone. An iphone without a sim card can only be called a small ipad.

Moreover, even if the iPhone is priced at $499 for the basic version in Wen Ming's previous life, it is still very expensive for many Americans. Although the United States is a developed capitalist country, the gap between rich and poor in the country is also very large.

If we can reach a cooperation with the communication company and make the iphone a kind of contract phone, then, according to the price of the previous iphone contract phone in the United States, the basic version only costs 199 US dollars.

The reduction in pricing will greatly increase the sales of iPhones, and the loss of profits is not as much as imagined. Even if the communication company can order iPhones at a preferential price, after more sales, the profits will naturally come back.

Sith sighed exaggeratedly, and said: "Boss, even if our relationship is very good, you can't use me like this? I just helped you complete a $1 billion acquisition, and also helped you get Facebook 2.1% of the shares, are you going to repay me like this?"

After a week of negotiations, Scheider's first threat has not been put into practice. Maybe it's because even Li Jiacheng doesn't think he can invest in a software to defeat ins in the US market and some other western countries' markets.

Without the first threat, then, this time the four-party merger and acquisition case was negotiated smoothly. The result of the negotiation is that Facebook completely owns ins, and Li Jiacheng invested 500 million US dollars to get 2.1% of Facebook shares.

As for Apple, Famous will receive 2.1% of Facebook shares and US$500 million in cash. Of course, US$100 million of this will be for Teresa Roy's interests.

Because ins** made Wen Ming's personal investment, although some resources of Apple were used, but because Apple is completely owned by Wen Ming and has no shareholders, 2.1% of Facebook shares and 400 million US dollars in cash , will be Wen Ming's personal income.

However, although everything has been negotiated, the final finishing work still needs three days to complete.

"How about I decide to give you free access to Apple products for life?"

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Don't underestimate it. There is no Apple company that has officially launched any hardware yet."

Sith also laughed, and said: "I don't think Apple's products can't be afforded by my own salary. If this is the case, I will choose to teach you a lesson and then resign."

Sith, as Wen Ming's elder, is naturally qualified to teach Wen Ming a lesson. Of course, this is just a joke.

Just kidding, Sith agreed to Wen Ming's mission and began to arrange business negotiations with several American communication companies.

"One more thing to remind you, that is to manufacture a sufficient number of engineering prototypes as soon as possible, because if we want to sell iPhones to other countries, then we must obtain certification from other countries."

Wen Ming said that he knew about this matter, but Sith reminded: "I suggest that you go to China to submit the certification application first, because..."

Frowning, Wen Ming said: "If the situation we are worried about really happens, believe me, he will be the one who regrets it."
