Chapter 474 Emergency
"What? Are you not ready to speak?"
Seeing that everyone was silent and showed no intention of responding to him, Jobs asked coldly and angrily again.
Faced with a difficult situation, none of the employees in the company have any ideas. What should we do?
Apple wants to become an instant success through the sales of this smart phone, and iphone3g is their main product this time!
But suddenly, a Chinese mobile phone company appeared. Not only has mobile phones been launched in China for some time, but it is also recently preparing to sell smartphones in North America.
Haotian Group came to North America to launch Haotian htone mobile phone to seize the mobile phone market share. It is coming fiercely. It is inevitable to sell well depending on the situation.
They, Apple, are in a tough spot and their future is unknown.
Before this, Jobs was very confident that his product would be very awesome, even the first in the world.
But who would have expected that Haotian would be the first to launch the htone mobile phone, which far surpasses their iPhone 3G mobile phone in terms of performance and many designs.
It seems to be an upgraded version of iphone3g!
Yes, Jobs had similar ideas in his mind at this time, which were very similar, but others launched 3G mobile phones earlier than them, with more functions and more powerful performance.
This made him feel like a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to describe the pain, but he could only experience the taste.
Staring at the Haotian htone phone in front of him, Jobs had a lot of thoughts. This Haotian htone phone is too amazing!
Even a person who pursues perfection like him can't help but praise and admire his competitors.
But how could he, who has always refused to admit defeat, stop here? !
"Chairman, we have no way to deal with our current situation. We can only continue to improve our R&D capabilities."
After a long time, Apple's CTO had to stand up and speak. He was the general management responsible for technology.
In terms of Apple's technology, he has a lot of responsibility. If the performance and innovation of Haotian's mobile phones are more outstanding than Apple's, then he definitely has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Tell me, how should we improve the competitiveness of our products?"
"Chairman, first of all we must launch the current iPhone 3G mobile phone as soon as possible, so that it can be successfully launched and gain a certain user base."
"Do you think our iPhone 3G mobile phone can be comparable to Haotian mobile phone? Or even compete?"
After the CTO's words fell, Jobs questioned, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Contrast, for Apple, is the source of the greatest harm.
If Haotian htone mobile phone is not launched, of course Apple's iphone3g mobile phone can be launched smoothly and even achieve good results.
But what about now?
As soon as the Haotian htone mobile phone was launched, it immediately killed the iPhone 3G mobile phone, not to mention that their mobile phone has not yet been launched!
"this……"
The cto was left speechless by Jobs' questioning and seemed unable to go online. If a product with too big a gap is launched online, it may only occupy a small part of the market, and the price will be very low.
The competitiveness is a bit weak, which is obviously inconsistent with their original design!
But Apple has to face the fact that it has invested a lot of money. If it directly conducts other research and development, the initial investment will basically be scrapped.
"You must have understood that our Apple iPhone 3G mobile phone is definitely not as good as the Haotian htone mobile phone, so we can only seek other solutions."
Jobs immediately revealed the truth and spoke frankly. He still had the courage to admit that he was not as good as others.
If he cannot even admit this and dare not face it, then he will never be able to make the best product.
"Chairman, I have another suggestion!" CTO hesitated for a moment and suggested again.
"If you have a better plan, just say it."
When Jobs heard this, his face lit up and he looked at the CTO eagerly.
The other managers participating in the meeting also turned to stare at the CTO, hoping to get better solutions from him to resolve Apple's current predicament.
"Chairman, our iPhone 3G mobile phone has entered the final stage and is not far from mass production. In fact, we can launch this mobile phone in due course."
"Put out the phone? What do you mean?"
"Yes, just launch the iPhone 3G mobile phone, obtain a certain amount of funds from it, and then increase our capital reserves."
"Such a thing will never happen to an iPhone. If iPhone 3G is launched in a cheap way, it will definitely not happen!"
Jobs quickly understood what the CTO meant, and he would never agree to such a solution.
Letting the iPhone 3G mobile phone go online as a defective product will definitely affect the reputation of Apple's mobile phone. This is something he is unwilling to do.
If you want to do it, do it to the extreme!
iPhone mobile phones must reach the top level in the industry!
"Chairman, what should we do now?"
After hearing Jobs' words, the CTO knew that his plan had been rejected. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Jobs.
"The current situation is very bad, but it has not yet reached a truly desperate situation. We still have a chance. The iPhone 3g mobile phone will be upgraded to add more powerful functions."
Steve Jobs encouraged everyone that Apple
The first generation of products may be aborted, with the same fate as the previous first generation products.
The first generation of iPhone ended in failure, and now the second generation has a similar fate.
"Chairman, if this happens, the cost we will pay will be greatly increased, and we may need to double the capital expenditure."
"It is necessary to pay. The emergence of Haotian mobile phone has broken our original layout. Now we will add more functions on the basis of iphone3g and officially enter the iphone3gs version!"
Jobs pondered for a moment. Apple can only iterate more innovative functions on the original basis. It cannot be said that it is too inferior to Haotian htone mobile phone, at least it must have a similar level.
"Chairman, we understand!"
The rest of the people received Jobs's arrangement and immediately responded.
They know that Apple is going to do something serious. This time the iPhone 3gs will definitely introduce more functions, especially those similar to Haotian mobile phones.
"We will discuss the specific details next, such as how the appearance of the hardware needs to be designed and how the Apple system can be improved."
"Okay, Chairman."
As a result, Apple's entire management has entered serious mode and continues to contribute its own experience and technology.
…
Overseas news has swept the entire technology field, and North America is also known as the temple of electronic technology in the world, so it naturally has considerable power.
As a large company in the world, especially the search giant, Google has countless powers.
Faced with the menacing Haotian htone mobile phone, today's search giants are also difficult to resist. After all, they are weak in this aspect.
At present, relying solely on the original Android team, it may be difficult to catch up with Haotian System and Haotian htone mobile phones, especially when others are so far ahead.
After receiving the news of Haotian's hot sales, Google boss Page was of course paying attention and immediately rushed to where the Android team was to hold a meeting.
"Everyone has received the news before and has researched the Haotian htone mobile phone. What do you think?"
Google boss Page pointed to the Haotian htone phone on the table, stared at the many employees, and then asked.
Google now only relies on the Android team in the field of smartphones, so it naturally has to ask these employees about the situation and find solutions.
When the Android system came out, it was obviously lagging behind the Haotian system, even lagging behind by nearly a year, which shows how slow it is.
"Boss Page, our current progress is very good. I believe we can complete the preliminary research and development by the end of June and conduct testing in July and August. Then by the end of August or early September, we can release the software and share it normally. "
Android founder Andy Rubin looked at Page with a helpless look on his face and explained to Qi.
The Android team is currently working day and night to speed up the progress, and it is now more than half a year ahead of schedule.
"Andy Rubin, of course we know the hard work and efforts of the Android team, but time waits for no one. At present, other mobile phone manufacturers have developed systems, and we at Google seem to be lagging far behind. Even Apple is faster than us!"
Page said with a straight face that Google has definitely invested a lot in smart systems and mobile phones, and if it does, it can be expected to achieve results.
Compared with the same competitors, their progress is obviously much behind. They are at least a year behind Haotian System and about half a year behind Apple.
Even one day's delay will have a huge impact. If someone else seizes the market first, it will be more difficult for the brand to be promoted.
The difference between the second and the first is not even a tiny bit.
"Boss Page, let's try our best to get the software system out as soon as possible."
"Okay, for the Android team, our support will definitely be the greatest, and we will still invest more funds in the future."
"Thank you, Boss Page. In this case, we programmers will be more motivated!"
"You guys came up with the Android system, that's the biggest thank you to me."
Page smiled and encouraged Andy Rubin that Android was indeed a good move for him.
Google and Apple are currently making plans and strategies to launch products as soon as possible, especially by investing a lot of investment and manpower.
…
The next day, Haotian's overseas promotion and pre-sales caused a sensation in China.
Kyoto News: "Haotian Group, Haotian htone mobile phone competes overseas!"
Kyoto Science and Technology Morning News: "Haotian mobile phone, pre-sale in New York Plaza!"
Sina News, headline news: "Haotian Group, hot overseas pre-sales!"
NetEase News: "Haotian htone mobile phone opens up overseas Yangfan."
Penguin News: "Haotian mobile phone pre-sale in New York, rising overseas?"
All kinds of publicity and reports are flooding in, especially those related to Haotian htone mobile phones.
New York, North America, Haotian mobile phone pre-sale!
The gathering of these key information has naturally attracted the attention of countless people. This is the first overseas battle of Haotian htone mobile phone.
It can be seen that its importance is very high. As a result, it has attracted much attention and caused the concern of countless people.
Of course, the fans are interested, the fans are concerned, and the competitors want to analyze and understand the situation.
"Haotian mobile phones are actually going to be sold overseas? We in China can't even meet the supply!"
"That's right, I want to buy one, but I haven't been able to buy one!"
“99 rounds of buying htone mobile phones, but I didn’t win even once.”
"You idiot upstairs, Haotiantian has been online for less than 99 days, and you have robbed it 99 times."
The lively discussion lasted for a long time, and a group of melon-eating people gathered and participated one after another, but most of them expressed dissatisfaction.
A large number of them have rushed to buy many times, but they have not been able to buy once, so they are naturally very resentful.
"Haotian Group, Brother Hao has his own arrangements, right?"
"Isn't Haotian increasing production capacity? Originally, it only shipped 500,000 units offline and 500,000 units online every week. Next week, it will increase to 750,000 units."
"I hope God, Brother Hao, will give me a certain amount of luck. If I win the phone during the rush purchase, then I don't want a girlfriend."
"Upstairs, think about whether you have a girlfriend first!"
Due to the construction of factories, Haotian's production capacity has been continuously increasing, but demand still exceeds supply.
At present, domestic sales are getting better and better. The millions of Haotian htone mobile phones every month are not enough for the Chinese public to snap up, and they are still increasing the output of mobile phones.
Huawei, Xiaomi, and other mobile phone manufacturers have paid attention to Haotian’s news.
When they confirmed the final pre-sale situation, it was indeed true. Haotian won the first battle overseas and sold out immediately!
Millions of mobile phones were all pre-sold in just half a day, which was terrifying.
…
"Mr. Feng, this report is about the overseas pre-sale information and the pre-sale situation of Haotian htone mobile phones in North America."
Not long after Feng Hao arrived at Haotian Group, Mo Xiaolan handed him a report on overseas progress.
Taking the report from Mo Xiaolan, he was very happy after seeing the information. It was indeed a success!
Even though he roughly knew that it would not fail yesterday, when he finally saw the pre-sale status reported back by Chen Mingyong, he was finally sure and breathed a sigh of relief.
This overseas campaign is off to a good start!
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Chen and the others have done a great job overseas and displayed Haotian's momentum."
Mo Xiaolan saw Mr. Feng looking at the report, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile on his face, so he congratulated him.
Haotian Group was successful, and Chen Mingyong's pre-sales in New York were very popular. She was very happy with Yourong.
"That's right, Mingyong still did a good job and deserves a performance."
"Yes, Mr. Chen is really awesome."
"Of course, otherwise how could he become the general manager of Haotian Mobile and take charge of the entire affairs of Haotian Mobile? After coming back this time, he should have no chance to go out again."
"We still have many capable people in Haotian, including Mr. Farmer, Mr. Peng, Mr. Jin, etc."
Regarding the management of the company, Mo Xiaolan truly admires their ability and experience, which can perfectly solve many problems of the company.
"They have always been the best soldiers of the company and have contributed a lot to the company. By the way, I heard that something unexpected happened to the hacker group yesterday?"
"Yes, Mr. Feng, not only for WeChat, but also for Penguin's QQ!"
When Mo Xiaolan heard this, her smile disappeared instantly, her face became solemn, and she said in a deep voice.
"What is the specific situation?"
Feng Hao looked gloomy. This matter was not easy to deal with, even for him and Ma Huateng.
