When jobs took out his selfie to kill all the major full keyboard smartphones, only one home key and a futuristic iPhone, the whole audience was boiling.
Song Yazhi scratched his head in front of the TV.
According to palm's information, apple does have a huge secret team with at least a few hundred people and a high degree of confidentiality in the research and development of new products. Rubinstein, the head of the iPod department who left apple not long ago, heard that he left in anger because he was completely excluded from that circle by jobs.
So, the secret team developed the iPhone.
It's a pity that he didn't pay enough attention to these information.
"Damn it!" He muttered to himself.
According to the Enlightenment of Apocalypse image, he knows that the future mobile phone will probably look like this, but he is not sure whether it will be launched by apple. According to the analysis of the frequency of brand appearance in film and television dramas, he has always thought that the probability is Samsung
In terms of time, it will be at least a few years before this kind of smartphone will dominate the world. Therefore, palm still has time, and palm is also developing the same type of mobile phone.
Apple's speed also exceeded his expectations.
At the last moment before the Disney shareholders' meeting last year, jobs chose to compromise and let Robert egger, Staggs and Pixar Animation leave Disney voluntarily to exchange shares for patents with him. His butterfly wings make palm have a large number of relevant patents, especially the beatsvideo appearance released earlier, which Apple can't get around, Jobs can only trade.
Unfortunately, jobs and others put enough pressure on him at that time, and Disney's control was more important to him
At that time, palm could not help it. In the field of smart phones, palm was in the stage of being attacked by competitors such as old rival blackberry, emerging rookie Dopod and industry leader Nokia. The threshold of this industry was getting lower and lower. Large IT manufacturers such as Motorola and HP could use their powerful channels to sell after saving hardware and buying windows mobile operating system authorization, The market has become a red sea.
On the 3dfx side, the potential of the architecture designed by Jim Keller for the voodoo graphics card was almost exhausted after sewing and mending for so many years. Technically, it has been overtaken by NV. Another competitor ATI is rumouring that it will be acquired by AMD. Later, the acquisition was successful. With AMD technical support that can resist Intel, ATI's design and manufacturing strength should usher in a leap.
Because of the XBOX360 crash, the relationship between 3dfx and Microsoft is still stiff.
So I felt that I could eliminate the hidden dangers of Disney as soon as possible and easily change to some apple patents, which was a great good thing for both palm and 3dfx.
Now... It's hard to say whether the choice of trading with jobs is loss or profit.
No, no... Disney is more important. It is a super media and entertainment group selling across Hollywood, the record industry, television networks, amusement parks and surrounding goods.
The media industry has always been more important than the consumer electronics industry in his heart.
And there is no obstacle for palm to continue to follow the tactics after exchanging patents.
I don't think so?
Song Ya was not sure. He asked palm executives who watched the press conference: "can we speed up the development of similar products?"
"How easy it is to type with a full keyboard!"
CEO Jeffrey Hawkins is a loyal supporter of full keyboard smart phones. "Apple makes so many gimmicks. In the end, it doesn't want to realize the soft keyboard function on the screen, except for beauty..."
"In addition to beauty?"
Song Ya rolled his eyes. "What we do is consumer electronics. Don't always think like an engineer."
"There are no obstacles in the hardware. The touch screen gesture demonstrated by jobs uses multi touch technology. Apple obtained a patent through acquisition. Microsoft also has similar patents. A professor at New York University also realized the same function with other technical routes last year."
Dr. Su Zi, chief technology officer, said: "the key is the operating system. Apple has obviously developed a mature software ecology. We..."
Jean Louis Garc é, head of the operating system, said: "our Palm OS is no problem. It's smaller and faster."
"You have always controlled PalmOS too small. I admit that, on the one hand, the storage space of early PDAs and smartphones is limited, which is necessary. On the other hand, the strength of early palm is insufficient. In addition to some necessary functions, other software has to be produced by a third-party company."
Stephen ward, chief operating officer of IBM, "There is a huge gap between the user interface and the iPhone demonstrated by jobs. All software is full of straightforward engineer thinking. There is no border transition and follow-up effect. It can be used and enough. In order to control the software quality of third-party companies, you have made very strict regulations on the running speed and security of PalmOS, and the development tools are authorized Very expensive... Many of these strategies are out of date. "
"Palm OS doesn't have to compete with Microsoft and apple on the PC operating system."
Beats CEO Donna Dubinsky retorted: "I don't think it's a problem to do this on the mobile phone. If it's too big, how can the customized version take into account the use of the Walkman?"
"Don't always mention your walkman, Donna. There are so many music enabled mobile phones now."
Stephen ward waved impatiently. "According to jobs' design, the iPhone will include the function of iPod in the future, so in the future, smart phones naturally include music phones, and users can listen to music with their mobile phones."
"Steve Jobs? Hehe, I know him. The controller will certainly make the early mistakes of iPod and pay the price for Apple's closed ecology." Let Louis gasser sneer.
"They are still early from large-scale distribution, at least half a year." Said Ryutaro Yamamoto, who is in charge of the supply chain.
"Stop arguing. We have to follow up on the iPhone anyway."
Palm is also a little Disney full of mutual collusion and competition for power and profit. Songya hates to let Louis gasser. The French has strong internal fighting skills, but he hasn't figured out how to deal with him for the time being. He interrupted the quarrel and pointed to the TV. "There should be some time before this thing goes on the market. We must speed up the catch-up."
"That requires more programmers, hundreds of people..." Jean Louis Garc é said.
"Move it. In addition, we need more support. The operating system should be open-source. Don't worry about making a little money for development tool licensing."
Song Ya explained a few words and hurried out: "all go to the conference room for a meeting."
“APLUS。” Jeffrey Johnson caught up and pulled him aside. "That's a lot of capital expenditure, our debt ratio, stock price..."
Palm has had a very difficult time in the past two years. After carrying the heavy burden of IBM's personal computer department, palm has to compete on multiple lines among Walkman, music store, laptop, smartphone, PDA and it giants.
"Think of a way together."
With the bright future revealed by the apocalypse, Songya at least never had doubts about the general direction, "gritting his teeth and sticking to Jeffrey, persistence is victory."
The company atmosphere has a lot to do with Jeffrey Hawkins, who is addicted to brain computer research and is not good at controlling people, but this does not mean that he is willing to give up his CEO power and leave palm.
Songya planned to quickly recruit Rubinstein who left apple and completely follow Apple's concept.
Of course, he will give Jeffrey an old friend one last chance.
"There are no other options. We must follow Apple's smartphone route this time." He repeatedly stressed at the meeting that we should unify our thinking.
"The full keyboard tero series..." Jeffrey Hawkins was reluctant to give up the Treo product line he founded.
"In addition to the existing projects, stop the follow-up plan. The company doesn't have so many resources."
Songya made a decision.
Fortunately, Ryutaro Yamamoto's judgment was right. After the iPhone launch, apple set the launch date in the middle of the year.
"Welcome, John."
In February, palm and John Rubinstein hit it off. Song Yaqin, who was eager for talents, welcomed the former Apple veteran and head of the iPod project at the headquarters.
"Jean, Donna, you're all born in apple, aren't you?"
Jobs was furious when he learned that he had come to palm and declared that he would never talk to him again. His arrival also expanded the current palm 'apple Gang' lineup.
"Yes." Rubinstein shook hands with Jean Lui Garc é and Donna Dubinsky, "Hello, hello..."
He will be responsible for the research and development of mobile devices and operating systems, as well as the follow-up research and development of beats walkman. Therefore, the atmosphere of the first meeting of the apple Gang is general, and the powers of the three overlap with each other.
Songya has no good way for the time being. Anyway, first pile up resources to make benchmarking iPhone products. Let's talk about it later.
The main energy must also be put on Disney to help Linton gain control of the board of directors.
"It was Quincy Jones, the burst drummer, who won the best sound effect at the 79th Oscar. Congratulations!"
On the eve of another Disney shareholders' meeting, the Oscar award ceremony was held. The burst drummer won seven nominations and the first best sound effect was won.
This is also Quincy Jones's first award after seven nominations. Before, he had only won the 67th Jean Hersholt humanitarian award.
Songya and Rashida stood up and applauded the old man. He was also very happy. His eyes were filled with tears and hugged all his crew colleagues.
After that, his best sound editing failed, his dream broke on the stage for the second time, and Songya's nomination for the best original script didn't win the award.
"Take it easy."
Songya comforted Rashida, who got on the head of the sedan chair. She held her arm tightly.
"I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? We'll win." Sonya is confident.
"Best editing award, won by: burst drummer! Aplus and..."
Before the voice fell, in the best editing award, song Ya defeated his main rival, the crew of the infernal walker.
In the attention and applause of countless people, he calmly buttoned up his dress, and Rashida's red lips had been blocked.
There are not many strong opponents for this year's Oscar. The Weinstein brothers simply didn't come to the scene. JK Simmons of the burst drummer crew later won the best male partner.
"The nominees for best director are: Martin Scorsese, infernal walker; Clint Eastwood, letter from Iwo Jima; Larry Jordan, burst drummer..."
Finally, the award ceremony has entered the heaviest link.
Old Larry has saved a lot of points over the years, but there is still a big gap with Martin Scorsese. The old man holds the handrail with his hands and tilts his body back. When the camera lens comes over, he quickly squeezed out a smile and clapped.
"The winner is..."
The organizing committee arranged three super directors, Coppola, Spielberg and Lucas to jointly present the award. This lineup is supposed to be prepared for Martin Scorsese or Clint Eastwood.
"Larry Jordan, burst drummer, Congratulations!" Spielberg and Lucas were humble and asked Godfather Trilogy director Coppola to announce the names of the winners.
The burst drummer crew jumped up and cheered for old Larry. Songya took the opportunity to observe the people of the infernal crew such as Martin Scorsese, little plum and Matt Dimon. They were good and showed perfect demeanor. Little plum smiled the most brightly.
Finally, old Larry was satisfied. He was already white haired and choked on the stage to read his thanks.
"Damn it!"
George Mitchell stared at Songya, a tycoon in the picture, and simply turned off the TV. The old man had been exhausted in the internal strife of Disney for many years. Paulson was even more unhappy after he resigned from Goldman Sachs. He reached out and picked up a piece of paper on the table. It was just given to him by the doctor today. It was the diagnostic report of his prostate cancer, "damn!"
Misfortunes never come singly. Curses kept coming from the chairman's office.
"The burst drummer who created and deeply participated in aplus has won the best director and best film in seven out of five this year!"
In March, when Disney's shareholders' meeting ended, Linton changed a director into his. At the board meeting to implement the resolution of the shareholders' meeting the next day, he shouted: "we can't hesitate any more. We don't think of any way to retain a + entertainment. Aplus will hand over all his films to other families for distribution in the future!"
"Don't worry about the creative passion of billionaires. Aplus and a + entertainment have signed scripts and related creative contracts for five more films. They also have the hot Twilight series, which is a big money printer!"
"We have been arguing about this at the meeting for more than a year! If you had listened to me earlier, a + entertainment would be much cheaper than now!"
"It will be more and more expensive!"
"Think about it, the dance series that has been sealed for a long time, such as my life series, 50 degree gray, blade warrior and so on, can be taken out and photographed again in a few years!"
"A + entertainment also enjoys the long-term benefits of Titanic! And a large film copyright library!"
"Intern grey also has the potential of longevity drama!"
"There is no such healthy second-line production company in Hollywood. Think about paramount taking on the mess of debt left by the big three in order to buy DreamWorks studio!"
"Well, well, my mouth is dry. Vote!"
"Hoo! Pass! It's fucking hard!"
"Disney announced today that it would wholly acquire a + entertainment company in the form of paid shares. After the transaction is completed, aplus will acquire about 5% of Disney's shares. With his previous Disney shares, he will instantly rise to Disney's largest individual shareholder with a total shareholding of about 7.7%."
This transaction instantly detonated the world. "This is also the first non white rich with African Chinese descent in history to control Hollywood's first-line production companies and the second-largest television network..."
Buzz!
After signing the contract, all the reporters crowded in front of song Ya and pressed the shutter madly.
At this time, his girlfriend has been replaced by Halle Berry, who has recovered her perfect figure after giving birth to little Asha. In the eyes of the outside world, the two old friends who have been together like brothers for many years have finally come together after many years.
In the past two years, Haley has also lost interest in stocks. During her pregnancy, she has no energy. Her money has been invested in a more stable real estate industry, such as eating and renting.
"High!"
Rashida burst into tears in front of the TV, "scum man!" She used to envy Amy Adams, but now she finally realized the pain of Amy Adams. Although the breakup was agreed long after the publicity period of the burst drummer award, and there was a confidentiality agreement in black and white, "I knew that I would be dumped after the Oscar..."
Cassidy, who was working as a housewife in her husband's constituency, stopped washing dishes, and her eyes showed relief and memories.
"He..."
Shakira, who accompanied Amy, was stunned when she saw this scene. "He is now the... Boss of century old Disney?"
"It's not difficult for him. He can always do things that others can't imagine." Amy said faintly.
"Hum..."
Maria Kelly called Royal producer Lee Daniels, "let's start the next one quickly. I'll handle Disney's distribution resources. This time we won't arrange 2000 cinemas... I'll, I'll kill him!"
Shirley Finn and Jenny, who were negotiating the release of the twilight sequel, watched TV and looked at each other again. Then they silently scolded each other and turned away at the same time.
"Seize the opportunity! Seize the opportunity!"
Standing behind charlice, who was dazzled and staring at the TV, amebethild secretly made up her mind. After Haley, it was her turn to announce with the king of new Disney! We must seize the opportunity!
In Chicago, mchammer sang and danced with aunt Susie, Tony and Donny.
"You."
Knowing nothing about the reaction of the forest, Songya, who is immersed in great pride and satisfaction, is naturally in an excellent mood. Isn't it for today that he has fought in Disney for so long? He pointed at a reporter.
"What do you want to say about this transaction, Mr. aplus?"
"Well, it's just some changes in stock and money figures. Besides, I don't feel that there will be any special changes."
He began to pretend: "I'm still creating movies for a + entertainment. All our projects have been handed over to Disney for distribution before, and even more so later. I think this is a necessary procedure to determine and stabilize the partnership between the two companies."
"It is generally believed that this high premium acquisition is more beneficial to you. A + entertainment sold a good price."
"I won't let Disney down, or I haven't let my partners down."
"What will happen to your lawsuit with Fox about the proceeds of the Titanic?"
"That lawsuit has been fought for eight years... Or nine years? It's too painful, which is one of the reasons why I made up my mind to sell a + entertainment."
Fox pictures actually pays for the follow-up income of the Titanic every year. What they want to deny is nothing more than the controversial part, which is also the part of the lawsuit. "In the future, this is the problem of Disney. I believe Disney's legal department will subdue fox."
The lawyers on both sides have exhausted their means until now. There is no option to admit defeat and lose money in fox film. That is tantamount to admitting the crime of commercial fraud. Someone may have to go to prison to lose money and pay interest. Finally, it is just a question of how much fox is willing to pay for the settlement.
"In the controversy over the Oscar, the burst drummer won the infernal Walker of Martin Scorsese..."
"Martin Scorsese is a good director. I respect him, but Larry Jordan deserves the award this year."
"It's rumored that you used some... Reward means."
"Everyone is like this, every year... Next!"
"What do you think of the iPhone released by apple? At the press conference, jobs ridiculed palm's tero phone." A reporter picked something up.
"I also respect Steve jobs. The iPhone is likely to be an epoch-making product, but I still want to say that it is only a concept machine. Every company is doing this kind of model every year, but we are just lower key than apple. Hehe, so it's still that problem..."
Songya reached out to the camera and made a begging gesture, "where's the machine? You asked him to sell the goods!"
