I've said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.

In order to deal with Sun Zhengyi, Zhou Buqi showed his utmost sincerity and did him a big favor.

In the PC Internet era, Masayoshi Son made the world crazy. His "time travel" investment philosophy achieved great success. However, something went wrong in the mobile Internet era.

As Zhou Buqi said, Times have changed.

Playing one model in two different eras simply doesn't work.

Among them, the investment in Sprint caused huge losses to SoftBank. Before investing in the shared office company WeWork, it was SoftBank's biggest burden.

Based on his business philosophy and understanding of the mobile Internet, Zhou Buqi has thoroughly analyzed the Sprint case. If even this fails to convince him, then there is nothing he can do, and he can only blame bad luck.

If you're lucky, Son accepts...

That would be awesome!

The current Internet market is in a transition stage from different eras.

The PC Internet market has almost been finalized. The giants have carved up the market, and it is difficult to find new entrepreneurial opportunities. However, the mobile Internet market is an uncultivated wasteland full of uncertainties. As an investor,

He said, don’t rush into the market, just wait and see.

Therefore, as long as Masayoshi Son does not invest in sprint, under the current environment, he will not have any investment direction worth paying attention to.

Then you can focus all your attention on the entertainment industry.

If the times really changed under Zhou Buqi's operation, that would be amazing!

If Son Zhengyi wants to enter the scene, it will definitely not be a small show. A mere EMI record is not enough. By then, Xu Baihui's entertainment empire will be just around the corner.

What kind of domestic entertainment queen?

This layout is too small.

She should be a world-class queen of the entertainment industry!

However, Xu Baihui’s English is not very good, so she will still have to let Senior Sister Zhen Yu and Sister Baoshan play the main role.

In the Ten School Entrepreneurship Alliance at that time, there were three female generals, Zhen Yu, Xu Baihui and Xue Baoshan, who made great contributions in the early days of entrepreneurship and founded Jieyu Media.

Times have changed, and Zhou Buqi's industry has expanded to the international market.

Jieyu Media also wants to look to the world.

The next day, Zhou Buqi, Sun Zhengyi, Lu Qi, Zhen Yu, and Ning Lu went to Apple together and met Steve Jobs. As soon as they met, their hearts skipped a beat.

Jobs was in very bad condition and his face turned pale.

I could only sit on the sofa and it was difficult to get up.

Zhou Buqi's resentful mood disappeared immediately.

There were two medical staff, a man and a woman, accompanying him. The man was a doctor and the woman was a nurse.

Jobs waved his hand and asked them to go out.

The female nurse was very young, only in her twenties, with a concerned look on her face. Before she left, she told him: "Mr. Jobs has just been discharged from the hospital and his body has not recovered yet. Don't disturb him too much."

Jobs apologized again, saying that after the Disney board meeting, he felt not in good health and went to the hospital for a week. He should have accepted Zhou Buqi's invitation as soon as possible...

The haggard look on his face is quite reminiscent of the vicissitudes of a hero's twilight years.

Zhou Buqi expressed some concern and expressed condolences, asking him to pay attention to his health and protect his body. Work is secondary, body is the most important.

"It is true that work is not as important as the body, but it is not work." Jobs' tone was a little weak, but his tone was deep and powerful. "Apple is my life, and my mission has not been completed yet."

It’s really embarrassing and admirable at the same time.

Since the other party is in poor health, everyone has no time to talk nonsense and get down to business quickly.

Lu Qi simply described the requirements, and Jobs had almost no extra thoughts, "Well, a very good idea, this is what the Internet should do."

Then, he explained emphatically.

It's actually not bad here in the United States. Text message charges are not too expensive. Americans particularly like to send text messages. They send thousands of messages a month. The overall cost is relatively low. There are even many large packages that offer free text messages.

But this is not possible in some other countries, the SMS charges are too high.

For example, in China, a text message costs 10 cents, and a multimedia message costs even as much as 1 yuan.

It’s a sky-high price.

Apple's vision is the world, and it wants to promote changes in the current business structure and create greater value for users. MacBook has driven the world's notebook computer trend; iPod has changed the world's Walkman habits.

Next up are iPhones and iPads.

Almost every product is leading the times and changing the world.

Of course, Jobs was very interested in this new model of using smartphones and mobile Internet to change the past, in which operators sat on gold mines and enjoyed the benefits.

I agreed without thinking.

In fact, he has always had this idea.

The legacy he left to Apple after his death was a new form of text messaging based on the Internet, iMessage. This product went further and went further than all mainstream chat communication products on the market.

Because iMessage is deeply bundled with the operator's SMS.

Two applications integrated into one product.

That is, open the "SMS" application on your iPhone and send a text message to your friend...the message sent is not necessarily a short message. If the other party also has an iPhone, then the message sent is an iMessage message, not a text message.

The iMessage service used to send messages between iPhones shows blue bubbles; the messages sent between iPhones and other mobile phones use the operator's SMS service and shows green bubbles (because the U.S. dollar is

green).

Different colors are used to distinguish whether the message sent is free or paid.

Then a very interesting social phenomenon occurred in the United States.

It is said that Apple mobile phones are more closed, which means that the user's personality is more conservative; Android mobile phones are more open, indicating that mobile phone users are more open-minded. According to statistics, it is true that people who use Android mobile phones have a higher cheating rate.

Then, people will pay special attention when chatting up through text messages on iPhone. If the bubble is blue, you can continue the relationship; if the bubble is green, sorry, exit early to prevent being green.

I don’t know if this is a social culture deliberately marketed by Apple in order to sell iPhones.

…

When operating the sales of the first-generation iPhone, because it was Apple's first time making a mobile phone, the operators had absolute say, and Jobs was severely cheated.

Of course he wants revenge.

It is not only about opening Apple experience stores around the world, but also selling iPhones directly to consumers across operators through direct-operated stores.

I also want to crack down on operators on software products.

For example, iMessage is for SMS service, and FaceTime is for phone service.

It's still early.

It was the early days of mobile Internet.

Jobs is also willing to cultivate the development of OTT chat applications that can span operators, and the negotiations certainly went smoothly.

In fact, in the previous life, WhatsApp was able to quickly become popular because of Steve Jobs’ efforts behind the scenes. He upgraded the iOS system and launched the “message notification push function”, which directly put WhatsApp and SMS business on the ring.

In this life, with Zhou Buqi taking the initiative to push them, they hit it off immediately.

"Are you still causing trouble?"

During dinner, Zhen Yu asked inexplicably.

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"Disney acquired Marvel." Zhen Yu sighed softly, "Jobs' body... Well, if he is gone, it will be a loss for all mankind."

Zhou Buqi said: "What does this have to do with Marvel?"

Zhen Yu said with admiration: "Jobs believes that the combination of Disney and Marvel can shine. I believe they must have some special business arrangements. If this transaction is blocked, Marvel's effect may be greatly reduced."

"Damn!" Zhou Buqi looked at her angrily, "Senior Sister Zhen Yu, you are almost done! Am I not as good as Steve Jobs? He is a genius, but I am not? Humph! I have Marvel in my hands, can I

Play a greater role!”

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Yeah, you are also very good."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "It's good to know."

Zhen Yu suggested: "I'll go to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Buqi was wary and tested her calmly, "Going to Los Angeles to meet your fiancé who is a doctor?"

Zhen Yu's expression was calm, "No, I want to go to Marvel to inquire about the situation."

When the topic reached this point, Zhou Buqi became rude. He put down his knife and fork, leaned on the dining table, and asked curiously: "Senior Sister Zhen Yu, what's going on between you and your fiancé?"

"What's wrong?"

"You live with me every day, does he have no problem with it?"

"I didn't tell him."

"Depend on!"
