Chapter 727 iPhone Tester
…
Ji Hong stayed in New York for a week before leaving. There are still children in the magic capital to take care of, and it is impossible for her to leave for too long. As for the New York side, there is naturally a special person in charge to pay attention to, she only needs to pay attention to the progress and do a good job of inspection.
And Guo Shouyun took Stephen Bryan to Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. Compared to the amazing spaceship of later generations, the current Apple headquarters is just an ordinary industrial park.
Guo Shouyun, who has been here many times, can be said to be familiar with the road.
“Why don’t we go to the R&D area?”
After following Guo Shouyun into his office at Apple, Stephen Bryan said in surprise.
“Steve regards the development of the iPhone as his life. The security work in the R&D area is the best he can think of. Therefore, even the chairman of the board cannot bring people in. So we still wait. Well, I’ve already called him.”
Stephen Bryan nodded and sat down on the sofa next to him.
“By the way, Steve, you should be familiar with it, right?”
“Apple used to be a Goldman Sachs client, but I don’t have much direct contact with Steve Jobs, so I don’t know much about it. … As for now, I know Bill better.”
Bill Oppenheimer, Chief Financial Officer of Apple. Apple’s ‘401 (K) pension’ asset investment planning, the company’s salary payment, and the company’s liquidity management, the partners are Phoenix Bank. And these questions are basically communicated by Bill Oppenheimer and Phoenix Bank. Naturally, the two sides will not be unfamiliar.
“…But I heard that Steve Jobs is a stubborn and eccentric guy!”
Noticing the look in his eyes, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded.
“Geniuses always have temperaments and hobbies that are different from ordinary people. However, such people’s minds are usually not that complicated. As long as you identify his personality traits, getting along with them is not as difficult as the outside world thinks.”
Just as Guo Shouyun finished speaking, footsteps from far to near came from outside.
“Probably here!”
Stephen Bryan stood up with Guo Shouyun, and turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
“boom!”
The closed door was pushed open directly.
This rude behavior directly made Stephen Bryan frown. However, Guo Shouyun didn’t care. He was accustomed to Jobs’ self-serving style and personality.
Looking at the guy wearing a black turtleneck sweater and gold glasses with an excited face on his face, Guo Shouyun opened his arms to meet him.
After the two sides hugged hard, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, “Steve, after the surgery, your body is as strong as a bull again.”
“Bruce, my body has always been strong. I was the one who climbed Mount Everest back then!”
Seeing his smug look, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded. He knew about Jobs’ life, he knew he was a big fan of Zen, and he was a big believer in vegetarianism. After dropping out of Reed College in 1974 and working for Atari for a while, Jobs made a pilgrimage to India. He even shaved his head.
However, compared with Wang Shi, who actually climbed Mount Everest, Jobs only stayed in Manali town, which is close to Huaxia West Z, India for two weeks, and did not really make the matter of climbing Mount Everest a reality. But that didn’t stop Jobs from bragging about it. After all, only a few people knew the real inside story. The reason why Guo Shouyun knew was that Wendy told him. And Wendy’s source is her best friend, Jobs’ wife Laurena.
“Steve, this is Stephen Bryan, CEO of Phoenix Bank. Bryan, this is Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple.”
Guo Shouyun introduced the two.
“Mr. Steve Jobs has always been a big name in the American technology industry. Under your leadership, Apple has launched a series of amazing products, and I am a loyal Apple user. Even now, I still remember my first A computer is Apple’s Apple 2. It’s very good.”
Although I didn’t like Steve Jobs’ rude behavior, it didn’t stop Stephen Bryan from complimenting him with a smile.
This is Stephen Bryan’s communicative skills and superb emotional intelligence honed over twenty years on Wall Street. Of course, there is also the excellent education he received from a young age.
Compared with his parents who are just ordinary people, Jobs who has risen from the grassroots and has a somewhat weird personality. Stephen Bryan is one of those children of a traditionally white elite family. Strict family education, aristocratic private schools, and Williams College, the traditional top aristocratic university.
After graduation, he entered Wall Street. Because of his outstanding contacts, he could quickly gain a firm foothold in investment banking. Then you can get everything that ordinary people need dozens of times of hard work and talent to get.
Two of the easiest words to describe Jobs and Stephen Bryan. Guo Shouyun will choose ‘Phoenix Man’ and ‘Gao Fushuai’.
After holding Stephen’s right hand, Steve Jobs smiled and nodded. After being kicked out of Apple, coupled with the experience of almost returning to Buddha’s arms, it changed Jobs’ character somewhat. Make him less extreme and arrogant.
“Bill has told me many times about Mr. Bryan’s talent in finance. Especially since you became the CEO of Phoenix Bank, Apple’s wealth management revenue increased by 13%.”
“Getting more capital returns for our clients is what we should be doing.”
After the two complimented each other, they politely released their right hand.
Guo Shouyun is still very satisfied with their harmonious coexistence.
“Steve, I brought Stephen this time, mainly to see the development of the iPhone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jobs frowned.
“Don’t worry, Stephen is my own. Besides, I have almost made him sign a non-disclosure agreement. If he discloses the news of the iPhone to the outside world, he will lose all the money he makes in his life to Apple.”
After taking the non-disclosure agreement from Guo Shouyun and reading it, Jobs nodded.
“Come with me.”
Guo Shouyun nodded and followed Jobs out of the office. The group walked through the corridor and came to Apple’s R&D area.
“Bruce, you know the rules!” Jobs stopped and said.
“certainly!”
After Guo Shouyun nodded, he took out his mobile phone, keychain, etc., and put them in the barcode safe on the side.
Seeing him like this, Stephen Bryan naturally took out his own things. Matthew, Wang Jue, and Wu Xiaojing are of course the same.
But this is not the end. After going through two security gates, they really entered the Apple R&D area.
“It’s getting more and more exciting!”
Stephen Bryan looked at everything around him and said with excitement.
Guo Shouyun glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.
After passing through the security gate is a long corridor. The offices on both sides of the hallway were constantly moving in and out. Jobs came to the end, pushed open the door and walked in. Everyone entered one by one, and in front of them was a room with a size of 150 square meters.
Not as well-organized as in sci-fi movies, and full of technology. On the contrary, because of the placement of many different types of components, it appears to be a bit messy.
“Jonathan!”
Steve shouted, a slightly thin, middle-aged man with a bushy beard on his lower jaw looked up and looked up.
“Steve! … Bruce?”
“Hi Jonathan!”
Guo Shouyun waved to the other side.
Jonathan Rubinstein, head of Apple’s hardware R&D department, along with Scott Foster, head of software R&D, and Jonathan Ivey, head of design, called Apple’s troika of core R&D positions.
“How did you come?”
Jonathan asked as he put down what was in his hand.
“I heard that your work has made a breakthrough, so I rushed over to take a look.”
During the time the two were talking, Stephen Bryan kept looking around. Soon he was placed by Jonathan Rubinstein’s hand ~www.readwn.com~ and attracted his attention with what looked like a cell phone.
In fact, it wasn’t just him, Guo Shouyun also saw it.
“This is the finished product you made?”
Guo Shouyun asked while looking at the phone on the table, the size of an adult’s slap, with a black casing but a thickness of nearly two centimeters.
After nodding, Jonathan Rubinstein excitedly picked up the black phone on the table, opened the button and handed it to Guo Shouyun.
“Multi-touch technology, one-key return technology, manual page turning technology, we have all achieved it.”
After getting it in his hand, Guo Shouyun looked at this silly, black and thick iPhone that looked more like a brick than a mobile phone. Although very primitive, a pass-through screen, different from a button phone, has begun to take shape. Guo Shouyun tried multi-touch technology, one-key return technology, and manual page-turning technology, but it didn’t feel very smooth. The software in the mobile phone goes back and forth, and there are only a dozen or so of them are Apple’s own products.
Of course, to be able to do this is very good.
“When will the thickness of the iPhone be reduced to only a quarter of its thickness. We can officially launch the market.”
“Steve said the same thing. But with the current level of hardware development, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do it in a short time.”
“I’d rather wait. I don’t want to put a flawed product on the market!” Jobs affirmed.
Guo Shouyun nodded in appreciation.
“If Apple wants to lead the development of the consumer electronics industry in the future, of course, it must strive for perfection and bring the most perfect products to the market!”
Jonathan Rubinstein shrugged. The two bosses said so, of course he would not object.
“Boss, can you show it to me?”
“certainly!”
