My Return to Life

One o'clock in the morning.

On the viaduct in the bustling city center, there are still colorful traffic slowly swimming in search of the exit.

Usually, the eastern outskirts of Pudong are already quiet due to the late night.

According to the time, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, but villa No. 20 is brightly lit for the first time.

In the study on the first floor, seven people in the front office were fiddling with a computer.

For example, Fang Nian is watching the official WWDC live broadcast.

When Gu Yu reported domestic public opinion, Fang Nian didn't react right away.

Because the WWDC scene is a bit messy.

Although due to factors such as the sound recording and language of the live broadcast equipment, it is not possible to fully understand the noise of the scene.

But Fang Nian could still see the embarrassment on the face of the demonstration engineer named Craig on the stage.

And Fang Nian also heard a sentence with a relatively high decibel: how come.

Although no shoutouts like 'wtf' have emerged yet.

But the scene was visibly chaotic.

The dissatisfaction of the audience is also very obvious.

The demonstration engineer on the stage was obviously not as able to hold up the scene as the previous executive Schiller.

The boos from the audience were too obvious.

In the end, it was just over two minutes anyway, and Craig hurriedly said: thanks.

Then Schiller immediately took the stage again.

Fang Nian is having fun.

Because it is obvious that some of the new gestures of the new system that Schiller specially introduced before, and even the new function demonstrations including pages and photo editing, are gone.

Fang Nian does not understand technology, but he still knows a little about the press conference process.

The presentation apparently had to be stopped midway due to dissatisfaction in the audience.

"Thank you Craig..."

"OK..."

"..."

Fang Nian who was behind didn't pay attention, and muttered: "The audience this time is not very good, impatient, not at all like a senior 'fruit fan' like me."

Then he looked back at Gu Yu who had just spoken: "How should I say it?"

Gu Yu looked at the computer screen and said, "About five minutes ago, the Shenzhou official announced through the Weibo platform that they would try to discuss the possibility of cooperation with the Frontier Nuwa Lab."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Nian: "Although it is already late at night, netizens are rushing to tell each other."

"Shenzhou..." Fang Nian muttered the brand name.

Regarding the commercialization of Nuwa DeskOS, Fang Nian is not in a hurry to finalize a complete plan.

It's natural.

It can also be said to be waiting for an opportunity.

Because the application ecology of Nuwa DeskOS is relatively incomplete, there is no need to rush to launch it.

Fang Nian said at the beginning that if you want to launch something similar to Google Chromebook, the open source KuaFuOS is at the same level as ChromeOS;

Anyway, after the installation is complete, there is only a browser, and everything is done through the browser, including the use of some basic applications.

The goal of Nuwa DeskOS is obviously not to realize an Internet access function.

In addition, now Nuwa DeskOS has only achieved a leap from 0 to 1.

Next, we need to realize one life two and two life three.

When it comes to the Three Lives and Myriad Things,

There is enough accumulation for commercial deployment.

It's just that Fang Nian didn't expect that Shenzhou would pick such an opportunity to suddenly announce such a news that would obviously cause an uproar.

Shenzhou...

Although it is called Shenzhou, because of the "extreme cost performance", the brand power is not very good, and the reputation is not very good.

But Shenzhou is very good among domestic computer brands.

In particular, Shenzhou notebooks have leapt to the second place in the market share of Chinese local brands since 2005.

If the standard is stricter, it can be said that it is the first in the local area based on the headquarters address.

Of course, such a standard is too strict.

After Fang Nian muttered a few words, he frowned slightly: "Just wait and see, the cooperation cannot be now, it's just a piece of news, and it's not ruled out that they might want to bundle marketing, um..."

After pondering for a while, Fang Nian said indifferently: "If it's really a bundled marketing, we can be a little more tolerant this time. It's not easy for local computer brands."

"Understood." Gu Yu nodded, "Anyway, there is already a lot of popularity on the Internet, even if it is marketing, it is considered a success."

Hearing this, Fang Nian didn't say any more.

"..."

Speaking of the field of personal computers, Chinese brands have not been very successful.

Even if some companies such as Juchang and Xiaomi successively intervene in the field of notebook computers in the future, the situation will not change much.

Including big brother Lenovo, they can only be regarded as assembly plants.

Because in a macro sense, neither the hardware core nor the software core has its own things, which means that it has not mastered the core technology.

Especially on CPU and OS.

It is nothing of their own.

The CPU is either Intel or AMD, and the system is almost all Windows;

Even if a Linux window system such as Ubuntu and Deepin is installed in the factory, there is a high probability that the user will replace it with Windows in the end.

certainly……

The same goes for foreign brands.

That is to say, Microsoft and Apple are companies with core technologies.

After all, one is the Wintel business alliance, and the other is the Mac series, which bucked the trend of declining global computer sales and soared by 28%—Schiller listed this data when he first appeared on stage.

Although Microsoft has not yet heard the voice to make its own Tablet PC.

But this situation has been going on for ten years.

Therefore, Microsoft simply dismissed the touches and provocations of Nuwa Labs—it’s not that there are no other window systems.

Even the most popular Apple Mac series has eaten away less than 10% of the market?

Even if it bucks the trend and rises by 28%, so what!

Therefore, Fang Nian was determined at the beginning that he must deeply touch Apple, so he focused on WWDC instead of caring about Microsoft's build conference.

so……

Now Apple's WWDC opening speech will be such a disappointment.

as if now...

After Schiller took the stage again, he simply introduced the FaceTime built into the new system and the upgrade of functional modules such as mail.

Introducing the new system priced at $29.99.

That compares to $129 for the previous generation.

And this time only the electronic version can be purchased through the App Store.

In the end, when it was mentioned that the release date would be in July, there was no dissatisfaction from the audience, so the speech was hurriedly ended.

Today's Mac system is the same as Microsoft's Windows, and upgrades also cost money...

…………

Taking advantage of the time between substitutions, Fang Nian specially opened some social media sites in the United States.

It is daytime in the United States, and the Internet is naturally very lively.

There is also a lot of talk about Apple.

"Very disappointed! After waiting for so long, the new system is not attractive at all, definitely will not upgrade!"

"Has Apple lost its ability to innovate?"

"Even if a Chinese company's system is better than it, what's the point!"

"What happened!"

“Waste of my time and tickets!”

"..."

Although there are a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints on the Internet, in the capital market, the fluctuation of Apple's stock price is not serious.

It should be said that since the market opened on the 6th Eastern Time, Apple's stock price has fluctuated too much.

It looks like retail trades are only a little bit more frequent than usual.

Even if there is a lot of negative news.

Even if Frontier pushed out some news just right, the impact would not be great.

but……

It is obvious that Apple is vigorously defending the market.

Because some investors have expressed some doubts in the stock-related forums.

"Someone must be manipulating the damn stocks!"

"Shit!"

"..."

It's just that there are not many such news, and they are quickly drowned out.

At this time, Guan Qiuhe in the corner suddenly clicked his tongue in amazement: "Mr. Fang is really stable when he should be stable. I thought that there would be a large number of institutions jointly shorting Apple today. I didn't expect that there was no sound!"

"Apple's investors are not stupid. In the past, WWDC would boost Apple's stock price. This time, there were obvious risks and they did not suspend trading. They must have been prepared."

Having said that, Fang Nian paused and said calmly.

"In fact, today is nothing more than the fact that the original public opinion news has become a reality. The combination of software and hardware that Apple relies on for survival has indeed encountered serious challenges, but that's all."

"If you don't believe me, read on."

"..."

After a while, Foster, another Apple executive, took the stage to introduce iOS5.

The opening is the climax.

When Foster came on stage, he simply said a few opening words, and then his voice was in vain.

"Over 200 million iOS devices have been sold!"

"iOS has become the number one mobile operating system!"

"25 million iPads sold in 14 months since launch!"

"There are already over 90,000 apps designed for iPad in the App Store!"

"The App Store has been downloaded over 14 billion times!"

"..."

The speed of speech was extremely fast, if it wasn't for some introductions on the PPT, Fang Nian would not have been able to keep up.

The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became heated.

The applause continued.

Sweep away the haze before.

The normal atmosphere of Apple's WWDC opening speech was restored.

Hearing this, Fang Nian was very jealous, and kept beeping: "This is a good audience. If you can properly cheer and encourage, don't be so shy, yes! Shout out, clap your hands, and learn to express your excitement!"

"Apple is awesome! I really want to buy it!"

"Domestic manufacturers are really disappointing, so many bundled together is 5% of others."

"Ugh……"

"Listening to it, I feel that Nuwa is really a piece of trash!"

"Mr. Guan, Mr. Lu, you all have to fight hard. Although we are only excited about such a big gap, we must face it squarely."

Everyone in the study room listened to Fang Nian's beeps while listening to the passionate voice from the computer speakers.

They can't help but laugh.

After all, it was Fang Nian who was the worst in English, and they were better able to keep up with the progress.

Wen Ye was the first to joke: "Mr. Fang, didn't you say that Jobs was the one who reinvented the mobile phone, and that anything that doesn't look like an iPhone is no longer called a mobile phone, so isn't this normal?"

"That's right, besides, Frontier doesn't make mobile phones, so it's useless for you to just face up to the gap." Guan Qiuhe continued.

Fang Nian was unhappy when he heard it: "I didn't say that, I'm a 'fruit fan' and I'm so excited to see Apple's press conference, can't I shout a few words?"

"What the hell are you making fun of!"

As he said that, Fang Nian waved his hand: "I have decided that for a company as powerful as Apple, cutting-edge science must be studied seriously. From now on, the first goal of cutting-edge science is to imitate Apple. The first step..."

"Let's kill the iPhone first. As the saying goes, the master teaches well and the apprentice learns quickly. Three punches can kill the master!"

The general manager of Frontier Science, Mr. Lu, and Fang Nian's fiancée, Ms. Lu, all felt very embarrassed!

Obviously she didn't say anything, why did the target fall on the head of cutting-edge science?

Also, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen my husband so shameless.

Co-author, why are you such a "fruit fan"?

The first step is to kill people?

Guan Qiuhe, Wen Ye and the others gloated immediately, and looked at Lu Weiyu with raised eyebrows. They watched the show.

At the end, Lu Weiyu tentatively asked: "Then... Can cutting-edge science make your own mobile phone?"

Fang Nian didn't return, and said, "Of course not! But I can teach you an effective method."

Then he said nonchalantly: "List the data on the faces of Lei Jun, a group of unsatisfied **** bastards,

One by one, they know how to hold back and threaten them to make mobile phones. If you don't worry, they won't even be able to eat hot poop. It's guaranteed to work! "

Lu Weiyu: "..."

"Screw you!"

While talking, there was a new situation at the press conference.

There was a sudden booing.

Apple executive Foster introduced several features of iOS5, unfortunately, they are basically the same as Nuwa MindOS3.0.

Except for the different names and slightly different ways of expression.

Even Fang Nian heard an angry voice shouting: "Get out."

There's even one: "fxxk!"

Fang Nian snorted twice: "Hey, these audiences are not civilized at all, they only know how to say hello, it's true when they go up! Coward!"

"..."

The previous enthusiasm in the columnar data environment is gone.

All the major upgrades of iOS5 seem so bland and full of weird taste of plagiarism.

The chaos on the scene this time far exceeds that when the new OSX system was introduced.

how to say……

If expectations were not created, the audience might not have such a big reaction.

But so many exciting news were announced before.

So much so that the gap is too great for many people.

"Mr. Fang... At this moment, I suddenly admire your decision to go abroad less after traveling around the world in March. It can be said that you are quite far-sighted."

Wen Ye's solemn voice interrupted Fang Nian's attention to the live broadcast.

Before Fang Nian could open his mouth, Gu Yu looked deeply convinced: "I can finally understand why Apple, which could have been so superior, would end up in person on the first day of our developer conference, and still say that we are 'shameless thieves'."

Guan Qiuhe rolled his eyes, and immediately added: "Mr. Fang, we are all our own people. To be honest, did you go to California to steal the materials of Apple's WWDC opening speech when you were traveling in the United States?"

"It's just chasing after them." Wu Fucheng smacked his lips and sighed.

"..."

Until now, at this moment, they, who know the inside story best, have fully understood the reason why Fang Nian must promote the Frontier Science Developers Conference.

I also understand why the time is so stuck.

Over the past month or so, there have been at least a thousand people in the frontier department who have not even had a rest during the May Day holiday.

Guan Qiuhe even wanted to understand why Fang Nian suddenly decided to make an empty apple.

"Mr. Fang, did you already guess what happened today?"

Fang Nian cleared his throat, and said seriously: "No, I guessed it only after I went to Nuwa's laboratory on the afternoon of the 22nd."

Then he explained: "Computing science has developed to this day, and software and hardware have long been mutually realized. Since Professor Huang said that Nu Wa has achieved the ultimate hardware platform, Apple will definitely not be better;

The user experience itself is detailed, and it can only be achieved to this extent in many cases, which is why Apple can’t change it;

You can take a look at the laboratory product function realization direction planning plan, there are many functional features that are far more experiential than those that have been realized now. "

As for why Apple dares to be so grandiose, it is actually related to the ambiguity of some intellectual property rights at the software level. "

Speaking of this, Fang Nian sighed deeply, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we were ahead, otherwise we would have to wait at least another year. It's really dangerous, so I say Apple is awesome!"
