Chapter 3495

Those executives all knew Jobs's mood. They spent years of hard work on the research and development of the Apple mobile phone, as well as countless money, and even racked their brains for the sake of confidentiality. But now, all of this seems to have been in vain.

Even if they developed the Apple mobile phone as scheduled, what would be the use? They would no longer be an epoch-making mobile phone; others would only think that they were following in the footsteps of the Hanhai mobile phone, just followers who picked up others' wisdom.

In an era like the present, only the pioneers will be remembered, and there are too many followers; who would remember a follower?

According to what they know, dozens of mobile phone manufacturers have now reached cooperation agreements with Hanhai Technology, obtained patent authorization from Hanhai Technology, and are preparing to produce smart mobile phones. Some mobile phone manufacturers are even designing their own models, preparing to start manufacturing smart mobile phones in their own mobile phone factories.

Even if Apple continues to invest and develops its own smart mobile phone, what would be the use? Their smart mobile phone cannot exceed the Hanhai Generation One in performance, and it cannot exceed the Hanhai Generation One in appearance either. If they produce it, what would be the use?

Not to mention that the Hanhai Generation One has already preemptively registered many patents, and if Apple wants to manufacture its own smart mobile phone, there are many patents that cannot be bypassed. They must have authorization from the Hanhai mobile phone and pay a high patent usage fee to the Hanhai mobile phone. Even if they manufactured their own Apple mobile phone, what would be the use?

Originally, Jobs hoped to use the Apple mobile phone to make Apple rise in one fell swoop. But now, all his plans and all his layouts have been shattered. This feeling is too uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, if Hanhai Technology had launched the Hanhai Generation One mobile phone two or three years earlier, Apple would not have been so uncomfortable, because at that time they had just started investing in the research and development of the Apple mobile phone, and the investment was not large, and the loss was not too great.

But now, Apple has invested hundreds of millions of US dollars to develop the Apple mobile phone. Just when they saw the hope of success, they found that everything they did was in vain. What kind of mood is this?

This is almost equivalent to an athlete participating in the 100-meter race of the Olympic Games. He is leading all his opponents and is about to reach the finish line, but because he tripped, he watched others rush across the finish line first. He can only accept the fate of being last. That mood is really enough to make one want to die!

An executive said: "Could it be that there was some flaw in our confidentiality work? This shouldn't be; how could they be the ones to manufacture such a mobile phone first? Such a mobile phone is our creative idea!"

Jobs shook his head and said: "Impossible, the Hanhai mobile phone is indeed a masterpiece of technology. Many creative ideas, even we didn't think of them. Besides, what flaw could there be in our confidentiality work?"
