Cupertino is a city located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and western Santa Clara County. It is a high-tech city with a population of only tens of thousands of people. It has beautiful scenery and is particularly suitable for living.

Jobs paced back and forth in the office, his face was very serious, and he was about to release it in three days. He entered the micro digital music playback market and competed directly with and with him. This time he had great ambitions, and his goal was to directly defeat his opponent and completely occupy the digital music market.

However, a huge omission and hidden danger occurred.

"Idiot!" A roar without any shame.

He has always attached great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights, which is very similar to Liu Chen. However, yesterday, a patent agency that has been working with has sent a letter about the 137 reviews of the patents he applied for had conflicts with the application. Not long ago, a large number of patent applications entered the United States, with an astonishing number of thousands, and a whole range of them.

Jobs suddenly felt like he was too big when he looked at the long list. This was a time bomb. For these technology tycoons, patents were just tools, not weapons, and it did not mean that they could do anything with mastering this tool, but it was a hidden danger after all, especially Apple's current cash flow is still insufficient.

When Smith, the person in charge of the investigation, reported to Jobs, no wonder Jobs was so annoyed. Smith was so frightened that he didn't dare to let out a moment. Jobs, who had always been very passionate and did not fear any difficulties, also got angry and cursed: "****, this is a stolen attack, this is a technical gangster."

After scolding, Jobs, who calmed down, immediately asked: "Let Bob, the manager of the technical department, come to see me together. We must find a way to avoid these hidden dangers. If we are entangled in disputes over these patented technologies, our Apple will really lose the opportunity to become bigger and stronger in the end."

Smith said helplessly: "I have consulted Bob. If we avoid these patents, our - will lose all the characteristics, and the first batch of goods has been produced, taking up a lot of costs, if destroyed..."

He didn't say it any more, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jobs looked resentful and gritted his teeth. He never liked to hide his emotions in front of his subordinates.

The atmosphere stagnated.

Bob came, and he knew that he was angry again at first sight. He was very worried. Jobs asked directly with a cold face: "What measures can we take to kill the opponent?"

Bob said with a thorn in his teeth, "I...we are studying countermeasures. The other party has experienced and has made several layers of layouts, and there are fogs and various priorities. It will cost a lot of money to clarify the context clearly..."

Jobs's face became increasingly ugly, even sarcastic. Smith stopped as he said, obviously not wanting to hear him say this.

"I will see today the plan for the response, as well as the worst-case losses, and the details of the opponent."

"And this guy is still applying for division of cases, which means that even if we improve, he can continue to division of cases and he can't get around these mines anyway."

Snake, Jobs threw the analysis report he handed over to the ground and stared at Bob disdainfully.

Cook walked in with a look of a silly look, as if he had no desires or desires.

Jobs's face calmed down a little.

Cook's work has always been satisfying Jobs, because he would predict Jobs' reaction before reporting on his work and do his homework in advance, which would save Jobs a lot of time. Jobs is indeed Jobs. From a poor boy who has experienced the rapid rise of his career, he rarely succeeds after a second entrepreneurship. After returning to Apple, he seemed to have found his dream and passion for entrepreneurship at that time. He must once again attract the attention of the world. In order to achieve this goal, he excluded dissidents, acted arbitrary, and never let anyone point fingers.

Similarly, facing great pressure, no mistakes can be made in every decision.

Jobs quickly calmed down and asked, "Tell me the details, the more detailed the better."

Smith and Bob also looked at Cook.

"Zhuoling, a Chinese, was born in a prominent family. Her father was an artistic family, her grandfather was a soldier, and her mother was a politician. She had excellent grades in middle school. She entered Jianghai University, a famous Chinese university at the age of 15. She is now a sophomore and entered the national key laboratory. She is very interested in electronic science. She has not performed too well in her freshman year. She applied for a large number of patents since September last year."

Jobs frowned, "That's all?"

Cook was obviously well prepared and his face remained unchanged: "As I searched for a large amount of information, I found an abnormal situation, and she seemed to know Liu Chen."

"Liu Chen?" Jobs said it again and immediately remembered, "The real founder of Yinba? Yes, if it were him, everything would make sense, but why did he apply with the girl's name?"

"This is not clear." Cook told the truth.

Jobs' expression was particularly solemn, and he said after a while: "What about the Chinese market?"

"The sound tycoon has occupied half of the land. In 2004, it will probably exceed 70% and almost monopolize all profits. Most of the Koreans withdrew. The former overlord was acquired by Soni Yukiko, and a large number of small factories that sprung up after a rain went bankrupt one after another." Cook reported without any emotion. Although he was puzzled in his heart why Jobs did not enter the Chinese market at the time, in his opinion, China is a large market comparable to Europe and the United States, and last September was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But he has always reported objectively without any bias or suggestions.

Jobs looked at the second-generation machine that was still on the table. In fact, he did get inspiration from it and decided to develop it. He firmly believed that this must be a classic hot-selling product.

"Ku, please help me arrange it. I will arrive in China tomorrow, so I must."

It's not a negotiable tone at all.

Cook said: "Okay, I'll help you arrange your air tickets right away. But Mr. Jobs, if you want to meet Mr. Liu Chen, you may not be able to meet you in China now."

"Why?"

"Liu Chen was in his freshman year at Jianghai University. According to the school's bulletin board, he and Zhuoling will go to Harvard University to exchange and study for half a year, and." Cook looked at the table below and said, "It's almost time to take off from Jianghai to the United States."

At the same time, at Jianghai Airport, six young people were waiting for the plane. Liu Chen and Ling'er sat together, with smiles on their faces, which was quite a bit like a two-day flight, and a novelty of an unfamiliar area.)
