After Scott appeared on the stage, he briefly introduced the hardware information of the iPad, but this information didn't have much bright spot to Fang Zhe, because Apple's main product is still the iPhone. If the iPad is configured too well, it would be tantamount to stealing the limelight of the iPhone. Therefore, Scott just said that the iPad battery can last 10 hours, Waiting for a month or something.
Later, he called up several younger brothers to show the use effect of iPad in other types of games and applications. However, compared with the amazing demonstration of "Temple Escape" by jobs before, these later demonstrations seem a little ordinary.
When jobs returned to the stage, the main content of the press conference had been more than half, and the rest was the price that all the audience were looking forward to.
US $16g499, US $32g599 and US $64g699 are very close to the people of the United States. After all, even the waiters in ordinary American restaurants have a monthly salary of about US $2000. The purchasing power of US dollars is still quite strong.
Next, jobs also recommended two traffic packages specifically tailored for iPad by apple and operators, including $15 250m and $30 unlimited traffic package. Fang zhe thought of the current domestic traffic price, which is about $5 30m. It looks very expensive, but it is actually much cheaper than SMS and phone charges.
Finally, Jobs announced that the release period of the iPad was two months later, and told everyone that there was an iPad experience area next to it. Interested audiences could go and play. After jobs thanked you again, the press conference ended.
Fang zhe left the auditorium and went to the iPad experience area to play. Li Wen and they sat in the back of the auditorium before. Now when they arrived at the experience area, they all came together with Fang Zhe.
"President Fang, what do you think of the market prospect of Apple's new iPad?" Li Wen asked curiously as he stood next to Fang Zhe, swinging the iPad in front of him.
Fang zhe uses his thumb to press the home key of the previous iPad below, slides and unlocks it, opens the main interface of the iPad, switches the screen randomly left and right, opens several applications and turns them off. The whole is very smooth. Although the configuration of the first generation iPad device will fall behind every few years, it is definitely the top configuration at present.
Fang zhe played a few times, turned to Li Wen and said, "it can't compare with the iPhone, but in the tablet field, it should be invincible!"
After pondering Fang Zhe's words for a long time, Li Wen didn't understand whether president Fang was optimistic about the iPad or not. Before he asked again, Fang zhe waved his hand and said, "let's go. It's time to meet with Qiao Gang!"
At about 12:20 noon, Fang Zhe, Li Wen and others came to the sushi restaurant agreed by both parties before jobs. After Fang zhe entered the private room, Li Wen and other accompanying employees of Huizhong went to the private room next door. A few minutes later, jobs and his accompanying Secretary entered the private room. Fang zhe got up to greet each other. After they exchanged greetings, jobs sent his secretary away and they both sat down.
Although Fang Zhe is not used to eating Japanese food, jobs is a full Japanese food lover. He not only likes Japanese food, but also likes Japanese culture very much. He is a quasi vegetarian who eats meat and only fish.
"Does Mr. Fang zhe think the Mayan prophecy is true?" before Fang zhe spoke first, jobs asked Fang zhe a question first.
Fang zhe looked at jobs squarely. Now jobs is over 50 years old. His glory began in the era of personal computer more than 30 years ago. Now he is just returning to the peak. Fang zhe glanced at his somewhat backward hairline and said: "More than ten years ago, many people believed that 1999 was the end of the world, but they didn't know whether the people who predicted at the beginning also lived to the present."
"Nostradamus died many years ago, and then it was just that many people used his name to spread false information!" Jobs said.
Nostradamus in jobs's mouth is a famous prophet in France in the 16th century. The evidence widely circulated on the Internet in 1999 was also from his prediction. Fang zhe smiled: "the Maya civilization has also disappeared for many years. If they are so powerful, the Maya civilization will not disappear!"
Jobs nodded and stopped pestering the topic. Fang zhe asked, "I heard you like Japanese culture very much, sir!"
"Yes, I like eating sushi and Japanese Zen culture very much. I have been to Japan many times. The design of many temples in Kyoto is very unique!" many people in the Internet industry know jobs's admiration for Zen culture, and he is not shy about it.
"Your company's minimalist design on iPhone and iPad is also great!" Fang zhe complimented and said:
"In fact, I very much look forward to your coming to China in person, sir. After more than 5000 years of history and civilization, China has rich cultural accumulation and cultural treasures. Your favorite Japanese Zen culture was also introduced to Japan from the Song Dynasty in ancient China.
Of course, Japan's Zen culture has become unique and has its own characteristics and style, but in China, there are more wonderful cultures waiting for you to explore! "
Jobs smiled and said, "people's energy in life is limited. I'm just respecting the instructions of my heart and doing what I like. Even if China has more cultural heritage, it's just a distant story for me!"
Fang Zhe's face is calm. In his previous life, Steve Jobs loved Japan and Japanese culture, but he is full of prejudice against China. Now from the tone of Steve Jobs's speech, Fang zhe seems to be aware of this prejudice.
"I don't know, sir, which games have you played under Huizhong's banner, and which one do you like best? In addition to the previous Temple Escape." although Fang zhe knows that jobs doesn't like playing games, he still has another guess in his heart. As Jobs said, respecting the instructions of the heart, his intuition tells him that jobs should like a special game under Huizhong.
Jobs looked at Fang zhe with a smile. After a few seconds, he asked, "how can you be sure that I still like other games in your company?"
"Intuition!" Fang zhe said an answer that made jobs smile more.
"Your intuition is right. I really like another game of your company," don't step on the white block! "When Jobs said the answer, Fang zhe said" sure enough ". Fang Zhe's intuition comes from the previous design of iPhone and iPad and jobs's admiration for minimalist culture, including the color of Apple products such as iPhone, iPad and MAC, There are always only three colors, white, gray and black.
There are reasons for industrial design, as well as jobs' love and dedication to black and white. Most of his T-shirts are black. Apple didn't launch electronic products in gold, rose gold, red and other colors until a few years after jobs left. The game scene of don't step on white blocks, the simple design of black and white, is really favored by jobs.
