Coquettish Rebirth

Chapter 1739 Apple's Secret

When Jia Hongjian started retreat, Jobs and the others, who had offended Jia Hongjian before, started a research and development meeting for a secret project.The meeting was attended by very few people. Apart from Jobs, there was only one person—a young man.This young man says he is young, but in fact he is not that young. He is also 31 years old this year.However, when he was 26 years old, he was hired by Apple as a design consultant, and now, he has become the chief exterior designer within Apple.

Jobs looked at the young man in front of him quietly at this moment. His name was Jonathan Ive.From Jobs' point of view, this little Joe is obviously very appetizing to him, and he is very able to understand his old Joe's ideas in terms of design, so his old Joe is going to give this little Joe the qualification to qualify for the mysterious project appearance design.

"Jonathan, now I want to give you a secret project. Before accepting this project, you must know that this is the top secret of our company now, and absolutely no information can be taken out of the company, nor can it be outside the company. Talk about this project, understand? This is your n agreement, sign it." Then, Old Qiao took out a non-disclosure agreement of more than ten pages from the desk drawer and put it in front of Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao took it over and took a look. To put it bluntly, the ten-page contract was actually just one sentence - if you dare to reveal a secret, you will die.For this, Xiao Qiao readily accepted, because behind this extremely threatening n, he would give him a lot of extra money!Moreover, he also likes this kind of mysterious work!So after a quick look at the contract.This little Joe signed the contract, and then looked at Big Joe with great interest, ah no, it was Old Joe.

At this time, after Lao Qiao accepted the contract, he said, "Our company will give you a secret mission now. This mission is to develop a music player. This player is a hard disk player. It is expected It will be launched around 2000. For the time being, the size of the hard disk determined by our technical department is 18 inches, and the overall length and width are slightly larger than a credit card. The specific specification is 99x59x10mm. And although the hard disk itself will have a chip on the whole, but We still need a certain amount of space for the main control of the player and the battery, etc. Now what you have to do is to design a unique product for us from the concept. A product that can fully reflect our Apple aesthetics .A product appearance that embodies a sense of technology and a minimalist style... To be specific, it will take about 20 designs, and you can start preparing today...”[

Xiao Qiao heard this.Nodding his head, he agreed.Although Lao Qiao said that he was asked to come up with 20 designs, it sounded like an exaggeration, but in fact he was not surprised at all.This is actually the process of making the appearance of the product.Really big companies and excellent companies make appearances, where is there a time when they really only do one appearance?This has always been to do a few or even dozens, and then choose!

That's right, the reborn Jia Hongjian, who makes products in this world, can rely on his own rebirth advantage to know in advance what product looks good and sell well, so that he can directly create a design by himself, and then modify it a little Just finalize.If this is another company, why not spend months, half a year or even a year to slowly design and discuss?If it were in other countries, Jia Hongjian’s progress would definitely be much faster than others, but in the United States, it would lead to a little chance of being stuck in patents, after all, whoever draws the picture They can draw, and if the other party fails to do it well and just draws the same as their products, then Jia Hongjian and his team's fast speed sometimes becomes a disadvantage.

Here, after Xiao Qiao came out of the office, she already had a direction in her mind.He knows that Apple is now preparing to sell the all-in-one product m-g3, which is also designed by him. It has a translucent appearance like jelly pudding, plus a round and flat one of the same color as a curling pot. Translucent mouse, this is the result of his design.Since he wants to design a music player, it should be similar to the design concept of m-g3 as much as possible. In this way, the entire aesthetic route is the same...

Of course, the overall concept is the same, it doesn't mean that he should copy it, it doesn't mean that this player should also be made of plastic and translucent.As for the material, you can discuss it with Jobs and the others, mainly in terms of shape, Xiao Qiao thinks it can be made similar to the Apple m-g3 mouse—that is, it is round and flat like a curling jug.Speaking of Yuanyuanbianbian, Xiao Qiao suddenly thought of a yo-yo, or a yo-yo.This kind of toy for children is very popular in the market these days.Isn't the appearance of this thing round and flat?That is to say, there is a groove on the side of the yo-yo that surrounds the entire round surface... Hey, if such a groove is engraved on the music player, can it be used to wrap the cable of the earphone?

What an inspiration!Of course, he certainly didn’t mean to make an identical shell in the shape of a yo-yo, and then put a hard drive or something in it, that would be too lazy, and in case children really think it’s a yo-yo, shit What should I do if I throw this thing out with the headphone cable?The idea he came up with was to make the whole body as round and flat as a curling jug, and then make a slightly curvy, not deep groove on the side, so that such a groove can be used for winding wires, and at the same time has a A sense of beauty... Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao began to draw her own design.Such a rough sketch is not finished, but a dozen or even twenty or even more sketches are drawn in a row—after all, there are 20 sketches above, so he can’t just draw 20, he always needs to draw [-] sketches. Think a little more, and then choose twenty of them yourself and give them to the above, shall we?So, Xiao Qiao started a hard and long-term design.

After more than n days, Jia Hongjian's family finally welcomed Jia Hongjian out of the customs.It is also very simple for Jia Hongjian to leave the customs.Just on a certain day, I suddenly opened the door and came out, and then the retreat was over.When he first came out.Parents and even Ye Jing didn't notice that the three of them were still watching TV and chatting together at that time. "Mom, is there anything to eat at home? I'm a little hungry." Jia Hongjian's words immediately set the house ablaze.As soon as Su Ping turned around and found her son had come out, she had the urge to warm up food for her son immediately, and even wanted to go out and buy vegetables to cook delicious food for Jia Hongjian right now.And Ye Jing came up to look at Jia Hongjian back and forth, as if she wanted to see if Jia Hongjian had lost a piece of flesh during these days of retreat.Although Jia Gang was still sitting there without moving, his eyes kept scanning Jia Hongjian's body, obviously concerned and relieved.

After a while.The egg fried rice that Su Ping scrambled for her son will be out of the oven.Jia Hongjian was devouring the fried rice with eggs, while Su Ping and Ye Jing rushed to do logistics for Jia Hongjian, fetching water and reminding Jia Hongjian to eat slowly so as not to choke.Jia Gang, on the other hand, looked at his son leisurely from the side, and then chose a method that could slow down his son's eating speed—"How is it? Have you achieved any results in retreat?"

"En. I have sorted out a set of ideas." Jia Hongjian had to swallow the food that was full in his mouth and replied to his father. "Generally speaking, it is to separate the functions, and then you and my mother can handle the personnel and the finances. When the company wants to approve the money, it will ask the mother to sign. When the company wants to recruit people, you will be the last checker, and other things Well, you two basically don’t need to worry about it. It’s just that the Golden Week will start next year, isn’t it? , Ten days and a half months, the company can basically operate without your staring..."

As soon as Jia Hongjian said this, he heard Su Ping ask back in surprise, "Ten days and a half months? Where can we go? Don't let us go out for ten days and a half months and come back and the company will be someone else's!" Listen. Jia Hongjian was immediately happy with his mother's words.Sometimes, the boss of this company just feels that he is very important, and he feels that he can't do without himself.But in fact, most of the time the boss is purely making trouble in the company. Without the boss, the company's operating efficiency may be even higher!

Of course, he didn't think that his mother was making trouble in the company, but that as a boss, he always intervened here and there because he had no restraint, but in fact he did bad things with good intentions.For example, in Jia Hongjian's previous life, a friend complained to him. His friend was in a small and medium-sized company with two hundred people. His friend was in charge of after-sales.One day, the boss didn't know which tendon was cramping, so he came to the after-sales service to inspect and investigate, and the result was investigation.But who knew, when it was time for lunch, the after-sales personnel went to eat in batches, and the boss volunteered to stay in the office.

Then there was a customer on the other end of the phone. There was a problem with the product the customer bought. Maybe the customer was in a bad mood that day and his tone was rather aggressive.General customer service or after-sales see this kind of situation a lot. For this kind of customers, they can only coax them. Could it be that they are scolding them?As a result, ordinary employees have no choice but to be scolded in order to make a living, but how can the boss endure this?So when Jia Hongjian's friend was with him, within 2 minutes, he heard the boss scolding the client over the phone!He can't go up to stop this shit, and he can't say that the boss is doing something wrong, can he?How did it work out? A few days after the boss and the client had scolded each other, Jia Hongjian's friend, as an after-sales manager, received a complaint.The customer said that a certain customer service actually scolded him that day and asked the company to open the after-sales service, saying that their customers bought millions of goods in this company a year, and they were going to be sold after-sales. If they didn’t open the after-sales service, they would Do not cooperate!

At this time, Jia Hongjian's friend thought for a while, isn't it the boss who came to inspect that day who scolded this client?He is in a dilemma, can he fire the boss?And this complaint can't be reported to the boss, because the boss will lose face later, when the boss sees him as an after-sales manager, he will think that he knows what he is embarrassed about, and then either the more he looks at him, the more unhappy he is, or the more he gives him small shoes wear?

So, this boss really doesn't need to take himself too seriously. Being in the company all the time is really not a long-term solution.The real long-term way should be accepted by the company. If the boss is not in the company, it should be that the boss is away for a short time, and this system can continue to operate on its own!This is just like a child. It is impossible for parents not to wean their children for the rest of their lives, right?It's impossible to follow the child all the time, it's impossible to stay by the bedside to teach the child what to do during the wedding night, right?
