My Return to Life

Whether Apple will cancel WWDC is hard to say.

But the celebration in the front office cannot be delayed.

Fang Nian took the notebook aside and said with a smile, "It's almost half past seven, everyone has already had dinner."

Seeing everyone nodding, Fang Nian made a gesture: "Let's simply celebrate the successful conclusion of the conference."

"Is there still a celebration?" Wen Ye whispered.

Gu Yu rolled his eyes, but didn't follow.

Fang Nian said casually: "There are celebrations outside, what do you think?"

"..."

But it's really just a celebration.

Fang Nian took a few bottles of wine from the villa's small wine cellar.

A bottle of recent Romanée-Conti.

A bottle of old Shaoxing rice wine.

Compared with red wine, including white wine, Wu Fucheng personally prefers rice wine.

Fang Nian simply accompanied Wu Fucheng to make do with a few sips, which was also a good idea.

"You actually hid rice wine?" Wu Fucheng was very surprised, "I remember saying something casually a long time ago..."

Fang Nian just laughed: "Don't be moved blindly, there are some kinds of wine hidden in the wine cellar."

"I went to get the wine just now and suddenly remembered that you mentioned it."

Wu Fucheng: "..."

Lu Weiyu next to him interjected with a smile: "Fang Nian has a good memory, after all, he is the youngest here, so he has the advantage of his age!"

Wu Fucheng sighed slightly: "Boss Fang is comparable to 'Duke Zhou Spitting Feeding'."

"If you really want to praise others, add more words, don't just one, you will look lonely." Fang Nian said lazily.

Everyone laughed.

"..."

Guan Qiuhe presided over drinking, sobering up, and then poured wine for everyone.

After doing this, Mr. Guan is somewhat elegant.

Ok……

very elegant.

Speaking of which, Fang Nian really doesn't have a good memory, it's purely because he knew about it for too long in his previous life.

After all, Wu Fucheng said in his previous life that he likes to drink rice wine.

On the contrary, Fang Nian rarely drank rice wine with Wu Fucheng in his previous life, he usually drank noble rot sweet white wine like Dijin...

Besides wine, Lu Weiyu also brought some snacks from the kitchen.

Chatting and drinking.

Fang Nian took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "This year's time flies a bit fast, Brother Ang will be working hard to prepare for graduation soon, right?"

"That's not necessary, it's just Friday's thesis defense." Wu Fucheng replied.

Wen Ye next to him interjected: "I thought Angkor's defense was just a formality, Shangcai will not prevent such an excellent student like you from graduating."

"Indeed, they all appeared as rotating CEOs at the developer conference." Gu Yu added.

Hearing this, Fang Nian laughed: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Ang can't graduate with his own ability?"

"That's natural.

"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, only Wu Fucheng, a social person, is the only one in the front office.

Everyone else has to be a student.

Including Wen Ye and Gu Yu, the materials they submitted to the Fudan MBA program naturally got the C-line admission qualification.

Although the year of graduation is not enough, but in terms of the face of the frontier, it is not incompetent.

As long as you pass the postgraduate entrance examination organized by the national unified organization in the second half of this year, you will be able to officially enter the school next fall.

Fudan part-time MBA teaching time is relatively loose.

Usually Tuesday or Thursday nights, plus a full day on weekends.

It just so happened that Wen Ye and Gu Yu could choose two different times, so there was basically no delay.

As for missing classes in case of emergencies, that is also a normal phenomenon.

Speaking of Wu Fucheng's graduation, Fang Nian and Liu Xi's sophomore year is coming to an end soon.

The exam week for this semester is scheduled for mid-June.

During this period, there will be some courses ending one after another.

After all, I am about to be a junior.

Fang Nian also planned to publish a paper for a journal before the end of his sophomore year. He was quite busy academically.

"..."

At night, everyone was chatting about it.

In the end, Wen Ye, CEO of Frontier, mentioned half of the official business.

"Before I saw a topic on Zhihu about how to view the vision and mission of the frontier, I think the discussion is quite heated."

Gu Yu also said: "The evaluation of the frontier in the general direction is not friendly."

"..."

Guan Qiuhe naturally also saw this topic, and she pondered: "Strictly speaking, the outside world still doesn't know Frontier, and thinks Frontier's calibration is too grand and ambitious."

"There are certain contradictions. The frontier was very low-key at first, and the planning of the laboratory also became a bit unscrupulous because it took over the Nuwa system."

"..."

"The issue of company culture is not a simple matter. You can refer to the voices on the Internet, but you must have a clear internal framework. In this regard, the cutting-edge enterprise development department still needs to work hard." Wen Ye concluded by himself.

"..."

Fang Nian said calmly: "Since we are talking about corporate culture, let's just say a few words;

In fact, the construction of corporate culture will not be accomplished overnight. From the separation of various companies in the frontier department, to the establishment of the Nuwa laboratory, the frontier is more inclined to allocate resources to laboratory projects;

The rest of the interior is largely ignored. "

"This matter, Mr. Guan, Xiaogu, and Brother Ang will take the lead to focus on it. Don't worry, sort it out step by step."

"..."

Guan Qiuhe, Gu Yu, and Wu Fucheng all nodded in response.

In fact, Fang Nian also saw this topic just now.

Seriously speaking, Fang Nian was actually a bit surprised.

Because of the Frontier Science Developer Conference, the frontier has attracted much attention and generated a considerable amount of topics, which is normal.

However, even the vision and mission of the frontier are specially brought up for hot discussion, which is not so normal.

It's not that the corporate culture of other companies is not cared about.

Ali's phrase "Let the world have no difficult business" is often quoted and touted.

On the surface, the reason for the hot discussion should be related to Frontier's low-key before and the sudden top-notch of this conference.

Launched Nuwa MindOS 3.0, which is ahead of the world;

Then, the more popular computer operating system Nuwa DeskOS was developed.

That's all.

In the end, Shenlong 1 was used as a finale.

Among other things, at least there are many electronic enthusiasts who know about the performance of mobile phone processing chips.

Especially as early as New Year's Day this year, when Xiaomi released Mi 1, it made some parameters of the phone transparent.

On the final big screen, Guan Qiuhe, on behalf of Frontier, gave a brief introduction of Frontier's business modules and development causes.

On the one hand, it shows that the frontier has developed to some extent by doing nothing.

On the other hand, it proposes a more ambitious mission.

Let some people who eat melons with little knowledge of the frontier put forward some controversial views.

It is said that Frontier is full of ambitions.

It doesn't matter what the outside world thinks, because Frontier actually has no direct-to-consumer business.

Whether it is an operating system or a mobile phone processing chip, it can only be used by consumers through other manufacturers.

But even Wen Ye understood that there must be some frontier staff's thoughts mixed in.

And any company must pay attention to internal management issues.

Especially a large group like Frontier, which already has such a big stall, needs to focus on the construction of corporate culture.

This can be matched with Huang Yankang's frontier internal virtual stock business to produce a good chemical reaction.

It was also the reason why Fang Nian directly named and arranged for three people to take charge.

Bie Fangnian deliberately provoked some giant companies in Europe and the United States here, but there was something wrong inside Frontier.

Of course, there won't be any contradictions for a while.

Because Frontier gives generous money, at least it satisfies the most simple pursuit of salaried workers who are willing to work: enough money.

In the early eight o'clock, everyone was almost drunk, and no one drank too much.

After tidying up, they got busy in the living room.

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, Liu Xi, and Wu Fucheng all hugged their notebooks and tapped, exchanging a few words from time to time.

Fang Nian, Lu Weiyu, and Guan Qiuhe were not idle either.

In Fang Nian's words, the conference is over, so how can we save this matter with Apple for the new year?

…………

…………

8:30 p.m.

5:30 a.m. California time on the 24th.

8:30 a.m. ET on the 24th.

There is still an hour before the opening of the US stock market.

Apple specially held a small media press conference.

We specially invited some media who have a good relationship with Apple to come.

Rumor has it that Jobs, who has been battling illness, did not attend the press conference. Cook, the chief operating officer, spoke on behalf of Apple.

From the perspective of job order, the person most likely to take over as Apple's CEO came forward, which shows that Apple attaches great importance to it, and the standard of the press conference is high enough.

There will also be a simultaneous online broadcast of the press conference.

Fang Nian saw the news on the Internet three minutes before the press conference started, and then rushed to watch.

Compared with China, there are actually many press conferences of this type in the United States, and they happen every now and then.

Of course, the words of the reporters were also sharper.

Fortunately, Fang Nian's English listening ability is not bad, and he can listen to the same level without real-time subtitles.

Cook stepped onto the podium and made a brief opening remark.

"Good morning……"

Then said: "We have noticed some rumors and public opinions about Apple on the Internet recently, and we will make a special explanation."

"Frontline showed the news media the list of patents it applied to relevant intellectual property units in August 2010...

These patent lists involve all aspects of the operating system;

Apple respects intellectual property and science.

I am also deeply sorry for some unverified remarks before, Nuwa Laboratory is a great laboratory, full of scientific research spirit..."

"..."

"Some of the content that has sparked controversy on social media sites is not entirely true..."

"..."

This report, Cook said for more than three minutes.

But in the whole process, there was only one clear apology, and it was not an apology to Frontier or Nuwa Lab.

This made Fang Nian happy.

He snorted coldly: "The political and business faces of European and American countries are equally ugly, gentle and secretive, and as sharp as possible."

This reminded Fang Nian of an article that left a deep impression on him in his previous life.

Analyzed a core idea of ​​Westerners:

'I can, you can't'

In detail, Westerners believe that I can surpass you, but you cannot surpass me; I can make mistakes, but you cannot make mistakes; I can apologize to myself, but you cannot ask me to apologize.

All in all, the logic of Westerners is like this, and it is not even a double standard.

It is equivalent to saying that you are strict with others and treat yourself leniently.

Anyway, Fang Nian couldn't get used to this face...

After Cook's speech came to an end, Cook said: "Next is the questioning session."

"..."

A reporter asked: "Mr. Cook, there is news that because of the excellent control experience and functional features of Nuwa system, it will affect the WWDC held by Apple next month?"

"What do you think about this problem?"

"..."

A smile appeared on Cook's face: "This question is of no standard. In any case, Apple's annual WWDC conference will not be affected."

"..."

"Mr. Cook, judging from the patent application date of Nuwa Lab, does it mean that Nuwa Lab is very forward-looking in terms of system functional characteristics?"

Cook: "In fact, this is a false proposition. Nuwa Lab's efforts on the operating system are worthy of recognition, but they cannot be generalized."

"..."

"Mr. Cook, what does Apple think of the Shenlong 1 chip released by Frontier a few hours ago?"

Cook: "I've never heard of it."

"..."

"Mr. Cook, please don't avoid practical issues. Shenlong 1 uses the same instruction architecture as the A5 chip, but its performance has been improved by 70%! It also uses the world's most advanced lithography process of 28 nanometers. Does this mean that Frontier is far ahead of Apple in terms of mobile phone processing chip design capabilities?"

Cook: "Sorry, I can't answer this question, because I don't know what Shenlong 1 is, let alone where these performance parameters of Shenlong 1 come from;

It is recommended that you pay attention to the reliable data of neutral evaluation agencies! "

"..."

Seeing this, Fang Nian was amazed: "It's good to change the subject, but... I'm not prepared for the front line? Let the bullets fly for a while!"

"..."

Regarding the matter of neutral evaluation, Bai Ze is of course prepared.

Although Frontier does not plan to produce mobile phones, it does not mean that there is no way to independently test chip performance.

Of course, Bai Ze has prepared more.

"..."

Ten minutes in a row was a question-and-answer session.

Although when Bai Ze released Shenlong 1, it was past three o'clock in the morning in the United States, and it was past twelve o'clock in the morning in California time.

But that doesn't mean Apple isn't paying attention at all.

Since this press conference was held at 5:30 am in California time, it is enough to show that some of Apple's executives may have woken up in the middle of the night last night and stayed up all night.

It can be seen from Cook's avoidance of the most important.

Many issues can be delayed as long as they can. Of course, issues that are beneficial to Apple must be long-winded.

"..."

In the end, Cook said that because of time constraints, he could only answer three more questions.

Then there is...

"Mr. Cook, has Apple ever thought about publicly apologizing to Frontier?"

"Mr. Cook, did Apple have to hold a press conference earlier because it was worried about the stock price?"

"Mr. Cook, will Apple announce a new iPhone at WWDC?"

Cook answered one by one: "First of all, Apple has expressed its apology;

Secondly, Apple did not hold a press conference because it was worried about the stock price, but because social media believed that Apple was evading response;

Finally, there are things about WWDC, please look forward to the arrival of the conference, and we will announce them one by one. "

"..."

"Thank you everyone, this press conference is over, I hope everyone has a good day."

At this point, Apple's press conference, which lasted a total of 30 minutes, came to an end.

Watching the blacked out video, Fang Nian pondered for a while, then looked at Wen Ye: "Is everything sorted out?"
