Chapter 2463 How Could This Happen?
As a company known for its social skills, Feng Yiping's NEXTDOOR's ability in public relations should not be underestimated.
The next morning after Schwarzenegger and the California state government returned to Sacramento with a smile on their faces, when Feinstein boarded the United Airlines flight with sunglasses and an expressionless face, preparing to return to Washington, the same news could be seen in all the well-known newspapers.
"The policewoman partner in the California Senate, senior senators Feinstein and Boxer, both hope to attend the new product launch conference held in Silicon Valley next week,"
"That is the first product developed by a startup called Android acquired by NEXTDOOR,"
"From the information that has been disclosed, this should be a product that will have a major impact on the smartphone industry, because smartphone-related companies around the world, including mobile phone manufacturers, operators, semiconductor companies, and software suppliers, will send important people to attend the launch conference,"
"The attendees are believed to include but are not limited to the co-founders of Google, the founder of Yahoo, the CEO of Intel, the CEO of Qualcomm, the CEO of Motorola, and the CEO of Intel. O, CEO of Samsung Electronics, head of T-Mobile, head of China Mobile..."
"This will be a press conference that is no less than the Apple iPhone press conference at the beginning of the year, and it is a rare event in Silicon Valley in recent years,"
"...According to relevant experts, this product, also called Android, will be another groundbreaking product in the field of smartphones in the United States after the Apple iPhone. It is believed that it will also profoundly change the market structure of smartphones and other mobile products..."
"...We are looking forward to that day and the further unveiling of the mystery,"
Because of the time difference, when Schwarzenegger and Feinstein saw such news, it was already old news for the East Coast.
To be honest, many people on the East Coast are not interested in such news at this time. They are only worried about whether they will lose their jobs, whether they can keep their houses, and whether their living standards will be downgraded.
Their attitude towards Silicon Valley, which is also a place where wealth is gathered, is only slightly better than Wall Street, the initiator of the current situation.
But for those electronics enthusiasts on the East Coast, this is naturally a rare good news.
From the list of guests attending the conference, it can be seen that this should be an extraordinary product in any case. It will not be more epoch-making than Apple's iPhone. On the contrary, it is more likely that this will be a product with excellent performance and will bring benefits to the entire industry.
That's why so many big names in the industry are here to support it.
Apple, which is used to eating alone, obviously finds it difficult to get such widespread support.
Some relevant sources are waiting to watch the excitement at this time. They have a general understanding of what kind of product Android is and what changes Android will bring to the market.
As expected, once Android comes out, the first to be affected must be Apple.
And Apple's Steve Jobs is a person who gets angry at the slightest touch.
Other people become more knowledgeable as they get older, but Steve Jobs is completely different. The older he gets, the more irritable he becomes.
Recently, due to publicity, Apple's difficult process of developing the iPhone has been disclosed one after another, so many people are very sure that Steve Jobs will not be able to stand such a situation.
So they were waiting early in the morning, waiting for the reaction from Jobs and Apple.
But several hours had passed, and it was almost noon, and neither Jobs nor Apple had made any move. It seemed that they didn't know about it at all.
But how could this be possible?
Apple is not blind.
So why is this happening?
Many people were puzzled.
The main audience of the relevant news, that is, those people on Wall Street, naturally knew it at the first time.
Strangely, Lawrence Fink, who should have been furious, was like nothing happened when he saw the newspaper in the morning.
It was as calm as Lake Ontario, which was about to freeze at this time.
Lawrence Fink was naturally not angry or annoyed.
In fact, after knowing that two important members of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley had defected, he was already extremely angry and annoyed.
Facing such expected bad news again, he was now a little numb.
However, this morning, when he saw the word "America", he felt a little glaring.
Because all the reports said that Android would be the "American" in the field of smartphones after Apple's iPhone.
And their original plan was to target Android's non-American attributes.
But now, I believe that after the subsequent publicity, all Americans will know that Android is an American product.
Because it is so targeted, Fink believes that this must not be a coincidence.
He also had some expectations for Jobs and Apple, but by noon, he still hadn't waited for any response from Jobs and Apple, so he knew that there was one more person who failed to live up to his expectations.
At noon, Lawrence Fink, a Wall Street tycoon who developed his company into the world's largest asset management company in just a few years, couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
Even Edward Johnson, the head of Fidelity in Boston, felt his depression. "Lawrence, although it is difficult for us to achieve the original goal based on the current situation, our subsequent arrangements will still bring them great pressure,"
"Indeed, he can find ways to weaken or even disintegrate some of our arrangements, but he knows some arrangements but has no ability to change them,"
"You also know that these media can now actively exaggerate Android. According to our plan, they can also follow our wishes and actively criticize Android in the future,"
Although the American media industry has long eliminated paid news, Wall Street has also had very rich experience in how to guide public opinion, how to reduce pressure on itself through public opinion, and at the same time put pressure on competitors.
They believe that many media will definitely follow their own batons by then.
"Don't you expect to see that day?"
"Haha," Lawrence Fink laughed, "I'm just a little disappointed for Apple,"
"Apple is a world-renowned company, but facing such a situation, they are so indifferent,"
What he really thinks in his heart is naturally not like this.
Since Feng Yiping can resolve so many of their arrangements, then he must have no way to resolve the point that Edward Johnson relied on in the end?
What's more, this time, there are two traitors, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, who know a lot of arrangements and have extraordinary strength and influence to help him.
…………
But the most disappointed person after seeing Apple's lack of reaction is Masayoshi Son, who told Lao Ma that he knew he would be friends with him for life as soon as he met him, and later met Feng Yiping and said the same thing.
In the call with Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, he also couldn't hide his disappointment, "That's it?"
You know, not only will Android definitely have an adverse impact on Apple's iPhone, but shouldn't Jobs know that Feng Yiping has recruited a large number of original iPhone R&D personnel?
These two things combined, Jobs can actually act like nothing happened?
Is this still the familiar Steve Jobs?
Wasn't Su Shiyi extremely disappointed when he saw the reports in the newspaper?
According to their assumptions, it should be lively at this time at the latest.
Apple and Steve Jobs should have started to attack Android at this time, and then put tremendous pressure on all of Feng Yiping's businesses in the United States.
But now Apple is just pretending that nothing happened?
How can he take revenge?
"Perhaps Apple will wait until the official Android conference before taking any action," Su Shiyi comforted the disappointed Masayoshi Son, and also comforted himself.
"There is another news," he said, "I heard that even Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have already turned to Feng Yiping's side,"
"So, this is good news for us. After all, our company is not clearly involved,"
However, when Masayoshi Son heard the news, he didn't feel any joy at all. In his mind, a sentence kept echoing, how could this be?
