Demon School

Cupertino, in the south of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, is one of the core cities of Silicon Valley. In this small city of less than 60,000 people, the famous IT giants such as Symantec, mysqlab, and zend companies are gathered; of course, here The most well-known company is Apple, which has changed the lives of countless people with a number of epoch-making digital products such as ipod, iphone and macbook.

In the past few months, their newly launched fourth-generation ipod-nano, ipod-acbook-pro, and iphone-3g have been very successful, making countless money for this company, making them the most profitable in the world one of it company.

However, now, among Apple ’s headquarters, three company founders and vice presidents, Tim Cook and Vice President of Industrial Design, including Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ro Wayne President Jonathan Yves and others all looked dignified and did not feel the joy of a bumper harvest.

"Okay, let me talk about your opinions!" Jobs first recovered from the silence, he looked at his vice president of industrial design, "Jonathan, do you think this product is different from the iPad we are designing?"

"I have to admit that it is more advanced than the product we are currently developing, and it is more in line with consumer needs! In terms of function and design, it is much better than the product we plan to achieve! Steve, I I think we are in big trouble! "Jonathan Yves Yiyi was reluctant to put down the sample in his hand. This thing was too much to let him put it down, and it was exactly the same as his ideal product.

"Can we crack his design and apply it to our products? If it doesn't take long, I think we might not participate in this auction?" Philip Schiller, vice president of marketing, knows this without thinking This auction will cost the company a huge amount of money.

"Since I got this product, I checked their patent registration as soon as possible!" The head of Apple's legal department shrugged and said, "Then I found that they had a perfect registration, if we want to do so Will pay a great price! "

"So we can't beat our opponents in court?" Steve Wozniak asked. This is not good news!

"Not impossible. But ..."

"But the most critical thing now is time!" Jobs interrupted him. "We must launch the product in the first place to occupy the market. Jonathan, if you want to get a product similar to this sample. How long will it take? No need to think about patents or cost, the company will provide you with all the support you can think of, I just need you to tell me the time! "

"Steve, I have disassembled a sample, according to my analysis. To reach its current level, we need at least half a year to complete the world! This is only the result of the laboratory, if we want to carry out large-scale production , This time will be longer! "Jonathan Yves reluctantly answered, he knew this answer would definitely not satisfy Jobs!

"Aha! Half a year! For half a year, all the people in the United States have one of these things!" Jobs said, raising the sample mailed by Lei Busi over his shoulder. "By this time we will launch products and sell them to whom?"

"So we must participate in this auction now?" Luo-Wayne rubbed his temple and asked, this event is undoubtedly a huge blow to Apple's strategic planning.

"Yes! Not only do we have to participate in this auction, we also have to get vacation patents as much as possible!" Steve Jobs turned his attention to the company's chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer, "Peter, how much liquidity can we withdraw now? At this auction? "

"Thanks to the hot sales of iphone. Our current liquidity is very abundant. As of last week, our total current assets were 30 billion US dollars. Excluding the necessary reservations, we can take out ..." Austria Benheimer reported a number that made Jobs very satisfied.

"Very good, I think even Microsoft can't beat us in liquidity, I finally heard the good news!" Jobs nodded in satisfaction.

"Steve, we must convince the board of directors to use such a large amount of funds!" Wozniak had to stand up and remind him.

"What those wastes know! If you lose this opportunity, Apple will suffer a more severe blow than in the nineties!" Jobs seemed to remember the history of being expelled from Apple when Apple was killed by Microsoft. The window95 fiasco in the computer market. "To help me arrange my trip to China, I must catch up with others before they can get favorable conditions for us."

At the same time, in Redmond, Washington, the greatest entrepreneur in IT history, Bill Gates, is also working with his core team to study this gadget sent from China.

Microsoft's new president Steve Ballmer is also optimistic about this new product. "He looks more charming than our tablet-pc ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is also more powerful! I think customers will love it!"

The views of the two Steve are surprisingly consistent, Ballmer also believes that this tablet will set off a new round of consumer boom, "Bill, I think we must take down its patent!"

"But Apple and Google have also received this sample! They have more liquidity than us! Especially Apple!" Said the Blazers boss Paul Allen, these things are not a secret for them .

"Even if you can't get the exclusive patent. It's good to get a part!" Damen students said, "Let the finance department submit a report to see how much money we can use for this little thing! I think I might have to go to China in person Now! "

In Mountain View, California, after consultation, the Google ’s leadership team decided that the company ’s co-founder and CEO Larry Page led a team to Changan to participate in this grand auction.

In addition to them, neon Sony, Samsung in South Korea, HTC in Baodao, Nokia in Europe, Alcatel and other related companies have also taken active actions, adjusting their strategic plans one after another, intending to take a slice of this new product.

However, the related companies in Huaguo are somewhat disturbed. Their strength is relatively weak compared with these companies. I am afraid that it is difficult to win this competition; but it is always unwilling to not participate, so Weihua, Xingzhong, Imagine, etc. Companies have also launched public relations activities in an attempt to seek benefits for themselves through high-level relationships.
