Rewrite the Technological Landscape

The advertisement of Dafeng Group was also released in Europe. After all, Samsung’s advertisement was released in Europe. This is a counter-advertisement.

The advertisement quickly became popular in the European market. The culture there already likes this kind of gameplay, and it is applicable to any country. Samsung first teased this thing, and now it is ridiculed by the Dafeng Group. , but can only endure.

Because Samsung can't convince Microsoft.

And everyone is unhappy with Microsoft at the moment. This counter-advertisement not only hates Samsung but also Microsoft, and it is also the European region that hates Microsoft the most. This makes many users feel really cool.

Samsung thought the Microsoft system was the wings, but it turned out that the Microsoft system was the bomb.

At the same time, another core problem at Microsoft also began to erupt, that is, software quality.

Apple's map incident also exposed Apple's long-term software quality defects.

Coincidentally, Dafeng Group launched the concept of Smartphone 2.0 this year, which changed the market's perception and expectations of mobile apps. Therefore, while the market is criticizing Apple and Microsoft, it pays more attention to the ecology of Hongmeng. Especially when September is approaching, many smart apps have been developed, and the market has already seen the effect directly.

Generally speaking, when it goes on the market at the end of June, sales in September should slow down after seven or eight months of outbreaks. As a result, the sales growth of Hongmeng mobile phones in the first week of September increased by 80% month-on-month.

Users of Apple, Nokia, and Samsung have switched to Hongmeng. The products are really good, and the price is high and they don’t worry about selling them.

Scott Foster still did not escape the fate of being responsible for Apple's map gate, and was kicked out of Apple by Cook.

On September 10, when Foster left Apple, Sun Xiaojing was already waiting for him downstairs.

"I have something to tell Mr. Meng." At this time, Foster is not as disappointed as he was in his previous life. Although he is always somewhat unwilling and nostalgic to leave Apple, the broader stage of Dafeng Group is waiting for him.

"The plane is ready."

"I'll go home and take my luggage and go."

On September 11, after taking a nap on the plane, Foster went straight to Dafeng Group after arriving in Hangzhou.

"My non-compete agreement will still take effect, and I will not be able to work in Dafeng Group for the next year." Foster first explained this matter clearly.

Meng Qian nodded and said that he had already made preparations, "Mr. Foster has been busy for so many years, and it's time for him to take a break, so that he can go and appreciate our great rivers and mountains in China."

"There is no need to rest. I am going to study further, but there are some things I want to say first."

"you say."

"Although it is Cook's hope that I leave Apple this time, I don't know that my character is a defect in the office, but I am me and I will not accommodate anyone."

Meng Qian picked up the thermos and smiled, "I've heard of Mr. Foster's nickname, Mr. Grumpy Silicon Valley. It is said that you once quarreled with 12 executives?"

Foster shrugged nonchalantly and acquiesced that it was.

Meng Qian took a sip of water and put down the thermos, then motioned for Foster to come with him. The two came to the R\u0026D center. After walking a few steps, Foster noticed a lot of arguing voices on both sides.

"I don't like the kind of office culture where everyone is polite and like brothers on the surface, but scolds each other more ruthlessly behind the scenes. This is also an office culture that our company has been avoiding.

Especially in the R\u0026D center, there can be no differences in R\u0026D. People always say that the world is pushed forward by a bunch of lunatics. I don’t know if they are lunatics, but I know that excellent people need to take into account both listening and expressing abilities. "

Meng Qian led Foster forward while talking, and there were various fierce collisions from both sides from time to time.

"One of the things I fear the most is to engage in R\u0026D and become sophisticated, and then it's over.

I have always told everyone, talk when you want to talk, argue when you want to, don't suppress your heart, the old past is meant to be broken, and only by breaking the past can we have a new future.

In this civilized and harmonious society, quarrels seem to be a symbol of barbarism, but everyone has overlooked one thing. The ideas that represent civilization we see are all quarrels, but the world beautifies such quarrels After a while, the quarrel was called an argument.

But in our case, there is no need to beautify anything. It is best to argue politely. If not, the table should be overturned. What I want are R\u0026D talents, not pioneers of civilization.

So I also have to put the ugly words up front. I don’t know if Mr. Foster can accept this kind of environment in our company, because in the future when Foster is a manager on our side, he may often be criticized by others.

But Mr. Foster can rest assured that everyone's standards are much more restrained than before, at least they won't beat people to the hospital. "

Foster, "."

After regaining his senses, Foster looked at the surrounding scene and suddenly said, "If Dafeng Group is so tolerant, then I don't know if Mr. Meng is interested in Dag Kittlaus and Adam Cheye. "

Meng Qian frowned subconsciously, because the two names sound familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a while, and it took him more than ten seconds to realize, "Is Dag Kittlaus the founder of Siri?"

"That's right."

"Then Adam Cheye, should he be the father of Siri?"

Foster nodded to show that Meng Qian was not mistaken.

At this time, some memories were revealed. Meng Qian remembered that Adam Cheyer also left Apple in 2012, and his own response to the reason for leaving Apple was that Jobs was gone, and Cook made Apple different.

Also a big cow who left Apple because of Cook.

"If I remember correctly, Kitlaus has left Apple, and Adam Cheyer is now Apple's Siri project lead, right?"

"Kittlaus' departure can be regarded as a sacrifice of office politics." Foster obviously remembered something, but he didn't mean to go into details. I can guess.

"Mr. Foster asked me if I had any interest in either of them, did you?"

"Cheye actually submitted his resignation report in June." Foster told Meng Qian something he didn't know. "Cheye has been thinking about finding a suitable new owner for the past few months."

Now that we have talked about this, Meng Qian naturally understands, "Would the two of them want to work together again?"

Foster suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, "Mr. Meng, one thing I can confirm is that it's not just Cheye who wants to leave Apple, but the entire Siri core team."

This matter is unclear because Meng Qian’s later generations have never seen it. In fact, Kitlaus and Cheye did not leave Apple alone. Especially when Cheye left, the entire Siri team left one-third of the time. In addition to the people who followed Kitt Laus, more than half of Siri's core old members left in 2012.

So everyone has seen the performance of Siri's future generations, and it is getting worse and worse. After all, the original core team is almost gone.

Meng Qian's eyes lit up all of a sudden. To be honest, Dafeng Group has its own core figure in the development and design of the voice assistant, and this core figure is Meng Qian himself, so he didn't specifically fight the Siri team from the beginning. The founder's idea is actually a bit troublesome how to position people after they are really poached.

But if you come to a whole team, it will be different. The company's voice assistant is not bad for a soul, but it is short for an experienced team.

"When can I see both of them?"

"It's fine in a few days. If Mr. Meng has time, oh yes, the characters of these two are quite irritable."

"I like irritable ones, please help me contact them."

Cook was anxious to kick Google Maps out, which resulted in Foster's resignation, and Foster's resignation led to Meng Qian's contact with the Siri team.

In the end, Cook failed to successfully kick Google Maps out, but only attracted a lot of trouble.

Cook's move in this step is definitely losing his wife and losing his army. It can be called a classic battle in the history of Apple's development.
