He Chaohuan’s pregnancy made Jiang Feng feel a little complicated.

Fortunately, the good news came from Lu Shi’s side, which made him temporarily forget about this troublesome matter.

“Mr. Jiang, congratulations. The Congress has agreed to your request to set up two root servers in the Free Financial Port. In addition, your proposal to invest US$800 million to build two submarine optical cables has also passed the review of the relevant departments.”

In the banquet lounge, Lu Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Jiang Feng’s hand.

Jiang Feng said with a smile:”This is all thanks to the help of Mr. Lu Shi.”

“Without Mr. Busch’s help, things wouldn’t have progressed so fast.”

“Don’t worry, I, Jiang Feng, always keep my word. I will transfer 200 million US dollars from the international bank account to your campaign fund account as a token of my gratitude.”

Looking at Xiushi, Jiang Feng said with a serious face.

Although two hundred million US dollars is a lot, if Xiushi can continue to work, even if it only lasts four years, Jiang Feng can get dozens or even hundreds of times the income.

It’s like This time the root server and the submarine optical cable matter.

Just imagine, under his promotion, Hong Kong, even Australia Island, and the mainland, will take the lead in Internet communications and surpass the world.

Maybe, in the future, the world of the Internet will be a big one. Xia competes with the United States for supremacy.

And Xiangjiang will usher in more trust by using its unique location advantages and the gimmick of an international free financial port. In this way, it may not be difficult to build Xiangjiang into an Internet center in the East and even the world. Realized.

Under his promotion, maybe Xiangjiang will change the pattern of no famous Internet companies in the past.

Hearing that Jiang Feng had injected 200 million US dollars into his campaign fund company, the smile on Lu Shi’s face became wider and he looked at Jiang Feng His eyes became more and more satisfied.

After staying in Washington for a few more days, Jiang Feng took a plane to San Francisco. After getting off the plane, he did not go to the hotel, but went directly to Apple to meet and talk with Steve Jobs.

Jobs was very surprised by Jiang Feng’s sudden arrival, because before that, he had not received any news about Jiang Feng’s arrival.

However, with his old-fashioned character, he would not make any changes even if he knew about it. Technology geeks only have the pursuit of technological revolution in their minds.

It is normal for talented people to be proud.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Jiang Feng stepped into the topic and said:”Mr. Jobs, I am here this time mainly for two things. First, how about the USB interface protocol research and development proposed in Xiangjiang? The second thing is, how is the operating system based on nextstep going now?”

These two things are related to Jiang Feng’s strategy for the Internet and technology industries.

The USB protocol interface is a top priority for the upcoming MP3. At the Hong Kong Annual Meeting last year, Jiang Feng had already emphasized its launch as soon as possible.

The main reason why mp3 was not launched before was because the USB interface was not perfect.

As for the audio file format, this has already achieved a breakthrough, and as for the music download storage station, it is even easier.

Although the submarine optical cable invested by Jiang Feng has not yet started construction.

But Xiangjiang actually has a broadband network.

It is mainly used by some government agencies.

The network used also comes from the submarine optical cable from the island country to the United States.

Although this bandwidth is very narrow, it is still possible to download a few megabytes of music without watching videos. Of course, most of them are sending emails.

It is incomparable with the broadband of hundreds of megabytes in later generations.

In this era, such Internet speed is already very fast.

A song of several megabytes can be downloaded in a few minutes. Finished.

In addition to the MP3 project, USB is also related to his U disk strategy.

Patents have been applied for.

Things have been developed.

Now we are waiting for the interface to be connected.

In short, the USB interface may not be so useful to other people. It was urgent, but for Jiang Feng, it was the infrastructure of many products.

Seeing Jiang Feng so anxious,

Jobs smiled slightly, stood up and said,”Mr. Jiang, regarding the new operating system, I think your personal experience is more important than my words.” Intuitive”

“oh?”

Jiang Feng was slightly startled by Jobs’s words, and then looked at Jobs in surprise,”Quick, take me to see him.”

“Mr. Jiang please”

“Walk.”

Under the guidance of Jobs, Jiang Feng soon came to an unknown room, which seemed to be a research and development room.

At this time, there were twenty or thirty people working in the room.

Jobs took him there A desk.

It was a computer.

The appearance of this computer was not like the IBM PC that Jiang Feng had seen before, but more like the computer that Jiang Feng used when surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe in 2003.

The screen was about 17 inches. Left and right, it will be considered small in later generations, but for now, it is undoubtedly a very large screen. You must know that the current computer screens are all 10 inches.

Suddenly you are 17 inches. Think about it, the visual experience has changed dramatically.

“This computer was built by the company’s hardware department. It integrates existing technologies and is several times better than IBM in terms of configuration and workmanship. I believe that as soon as this computer is launched, it will definitely cause a global sensation.”

When talking about this computer, Jobs’s face was full of confidence and contempt for IBM.

Jiang Feng observed it carefully for a while, nodded, and said:”The workmanship and design are very good, but how much does it cost?”

No matter how good the computer is, if the price is too outrageous, it will not help. The price is too expensive, and too few people will buy it. If there is no sales, the company will not make money, and if there is no money, there will be no funds to invest in R&D.

Without R&D, there will be no new technology….

This is an endless cycle. In its previous life, Apple was too arrogant, priced its products too high, and was out of touch with its consumer base.

If it weren’t for the innovation of Apple’s mobile phones, it would have a trillion-dollar market value, and it might even go bankrupt.

Jobs said:”Because we use top-notch products in the industry, the cost is a little higher. The cost of one unit is about US$3,100, and the estimated retail price is US$7,000.” Cost of US$3,300

?

Retail price $7,000?

Sure enough, the price is more than 2,000 US dollars higher than that of IBM, Compaq, and HP.

Jiang Feng shook his head and was speechless about Jobs’ pricing.

The price of spectrum is too high, let alone foreign countries.

US$7,000 is already very expensive for Americans. You must know that the per capita GDP of the United States at this time is only US$23,000.

US$7,000 is almost one-third of an American’s annual income.

This is the United States with the most prosperous economy at the moment.

If this were placed in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that 1,000 units would be sold.

“The pricing is too high and unrealistic. Jiang

Feng said unceremoniously:”Jobs, you are suitable for research and development, but not for marketing. How many people do you think will buy it at such a high price?””

“But…”

Jobs still wants to defend

“Nothing but”

“No matter how good the product is, it only needs people to buy it.”

“I think the price is about $5,500.”

The price is US$5,500, which is US$700 or US$800 more than what is sold on the market. According to the consumption power of the United States, it is also affordable.

“No, Jiang, this computer is the product of Apple and cannot be sold so cheaply. This is an insult to this computer.”

Jobs shook his head and said stubbornly and somewhat angrily.

If he hadn’t considered that Jiang Feng was the boss of the company, he would have been ready to curse.

Jiang Feng was speechless.

This guy is really stubborn.

Forget it, let’s wait until he fails.

Jiang Feng turned on the computer and tried to run it. It started up quickly.

Soon, a familiar interface appeared in front of Jiang Feng.

It was similar to the macos system he remembered, and the interaction mode and icons were almost the same.

It seemed that it was still The inertia of history cannot be changed.

When Jiang Feng was operating at will, Jobs did not forget to explain:”Mr. Jiang, I am not bragging. The macOS operating system is countless times more powerful than Microsoft. Microsoft’s broken system is full of loopholes.” , I really don’t know, only fools can use it.”

Jiang Feng was noncommittal.

With Jiang Feng’s intervention in this life, macOS has taken fewer detours and is more in line with human-computer interaction.

“Yes, it is indeed excellent.”

After experiencing it carefully, Jiang Feng sincerely praised it.

The system’s fluency is much better than Microsoft’s Windows 3.1 that he had been exposed to before, and the window interface has been improved by several levels.
