Chapter 1001: Qiao Gang Leader's Unhappiness

"Steve, this is what you wanted, and it was hard to buy it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After the door of the office was opened, an elderly man with an engineering background walked in and said to Steve Qiaobus, who was the senior manager and senior engineer in charge of radio communications at Apple Confection, Grignon, who was also the assistant to the Joe gang leader.

As he spoke, he pushed a box in front of him.

On top of the pure white box, a huge Letong logo is printed in hot gold, below is a rendering of a mobile phone, and on the box on both sides, the words LophoneS are also printed in hot gold.

This is the highest-spec version of the LophoneS priced at $988 in the United States, with 16G large memory and multiple functions such as fingerprint recognition and unlocking.

Since its launch in North America, although the appearance has not changed much, some of the newly upgraded functions still attract the likes of many people, and LophoneS is also highly sought after in North America, and it is not a simple matter to get the machine, although it cannot be said that it is in short supply as before.

Hearing Grignon's words, Qiaobus raised his head, staring closely at the box on the table, with an obscure, complicated gaze in his eyes, and after a long time, he reached out and opened the seal on the outside of the box, took out the mobile phone inside, and pressed the power button to light up the screen.

In the process of booting up, he kept playing with the mobile phone in his hand, and the slippery feeling was transmitted to the depths of his heart through the friction of his fingertips, like the smooth skin of a beauty, which made people addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Even the proud Qiao gang leader has to admit in his heart that the feel of LophoneS is the best performance of all the mobile phones he has seen.

"Is this their new work?" said Jobus as he tried his fingerprint unlock with interest, playing with it as he played, but his voice was very soft, not knowing if he was asking Grignon or talking to himself.

After a few moments, he threw the LophoneS aside and looked up at Grignon, who was standing across from him, and could already see the clouds gradually gathering over his face, making Grignon's heart lift slightly.

He has long been accustomed to the moody and irascible personality of Qiaobus, after all, genius always has some quirks that are different from ordinary people.

But even if that's the case, it doesn't mean that he won't be nervous.

"Why have all their products been launched to the new model, but our products still haven't been solved?" Qiao Booth looked at Grignon and said in a deep voice, although his tone sounded relatively calm, but Grignon, who was familiar with him, had already smelled a little bit of the smell before the storm.

However, Qiao Bus's words still made him a little silent, and after a long time, he showed a somewhat wry smile on his face: "Steve, you also know how long it took us to work on the iPhone project before, and the previous project is destined to be unable to continue, everything has to start from scratch, how can this be completed all at once." ”

Apple Condelity wanted to enter the field of mobile communication for a long time, from the idea of the telephone in 2001 to the formal establishment of the project in 2004, during which Apple Condelium designed and developed three different versions of the iPhone in '05 and '06. Then he designed and developed 6 fully functional prototypes, each with its own hardware, software and design features, such a huge plan, such a complex project, the cost of manpower and material resources is also huge, and Apple's profitability in other aspects is also declining year by year, so this iPhone project almost often threatens the regular operation of the entire company.

For all of this, many of Apple's top engineers were transferred to the project, and as a result, other jobs were involuntarily forced to slow down. Apple Confection's iPhone project is almost all-or-nothing.

However, just when all their designs have gradually become clear, and the first integrated prototype is about to roll off the assembly line, Lophone debuted in an extremely gorgeous posture at this juncture, making all their achievements almost all come to naught.

For the design of Lophone, almost the entire Apple Confectionery Company is shocked, because it has many design concepts similar to their ongoing iphone project, but it is more beautiful, more perfect, and the system is smoother, compared to it, even if the iphone project is finally completed, there is still a huge gap with it, which makes everyone's hearts full of frustration.

What's more, in 05 years, Letong has registered all the patents that can be registered, including appearance, completely cutting off the pace of Pinghua to continue to move forward on this project.

Therefore, even if it is an incomparable nest in the heart, Apple Confectionery can only reluctantly launch Apple Confectionery TV products at the new product launch conference that year to replace the stillborn iPhone, and then on this project, depressed to start all over again.

As Qiaobo predicted, Pinghua TV was originally a project that he was not optimistic about, but after it went public, it did not get a good response and became a completely niche product.

"I know it's hard, but aren't we all already working on it in some ways, like our OSX system, isn't it all ready-made? Don't give me these excuses to cover up your incompetence!" Jobus slammed his face and rebuked Grignon mercilessly.

"Qiaobus, are you sure you want to use the OSX system? This system full of bugs, what exactly does it rely on to compete with the Android system used by LophoneS, so far, we have not solved many problems in terms of program conflicts. In the face of Jobus's rebuke, Grignon did not get angry, but said to him as if he was arguing with reason.

"Then find a way to solve it for me, what I want to see is the result, not your incompetent complaining to me here!"

"Steve, we have 6 prototypes, and it's actually easy to launch a product, but do you think that if we make a product casually, can we really compete with LophoneS? What about your pride in excellence? Or are you now succumbing to the pressure of shareholders?" Seeing that Qiaobus was already on the verge of anger, Grignon did not have the slightest fear, and still replied loudly to Qiaobus.

Among the current apples, there is probably no one else who dares to argue with Qiaobus in such a way except his henchman Grignon.

Outside the office, those employees listened to the constant sound of quarrels, and involuntarily shrunk their necks in fear, with a wry smile on their faces.

Hearing Grignon's words, Jobus looked at him angrily, he didn't like it very much in the company, someone challenged his authority so much, but under his intimidating gaze, Grignon didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, and insisted on looking at him.

The two of them stared at each other like this, neither of them had any intention of taking a step back, and even the air in the office seemed to become viscous, full of the smell of gunpowder, and there was a big meaning that they would roll up their sleeves and dry without saying a word.

But after looking at each other like this for about three or four minutes, the anger on Qiaobus's body gradually dissipated, and the whole person was full of calm, and he took the lead in reining in his momentum, which was like a deflated ball.

"That's right, you're right, now I'm under a lot of pressure, now the company's product sales and profits are declining across the board, the demand for the main products has been greatly reduced, and the company urgently needs a representative fist product to open the market and create new profit points. Jobus said to Grignon, and even his tone became calm.

"I know, Steve, I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, but with LophoneS doing so perfectly, we didn't have to rush to make a product that surpassed it, or matched it. As a confidant of Qiaobus, why does Grignon not know this, so he can only speed up the pace of research and development as much as possible, which can be regarded as a kind of support for Qiaobus.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, please speed up as much as you can!" said Jobus bitterly to Grignon, and now he could only pin his hopes on him.

The two of them exchanged some core issues about the iPhone project for a while before Grignon left the office, and he could imagine how much pressure he was under from the shareholders at this time, and the project team he led had to come up with results as soon as possible, not only for the sake of Qiaobus, but also to narrow the gap with his rivals.

And after Grignon left, Jobs sat there alone for a long time, and after a while, the phone suddenly rang without warning, and he picked up the phone, not knowing what was said on the other side of the phone, but he could only see that his face was not good-looking at this time.

Hung up the phone irritably, Jobs sat there, with a depressed look on his face, after a while, bored, he inadvertently saw the LophoneS that he put aside, hesitated, he held the LophoneS in his hand, and slowly began to play.

After letting go of that pride, Jobs began to seriously face up to the communication company that produced such a perfect mobile phone, and he vaguely felt that in the future, this company that has grown rapidly will be a big rival to Apple.

But now, he can only watch the other party continue to grow unscrupulously, but he has no ability to restrain it, this kind of powerless mood, not to mention how depressed he is......
