Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian and President José together took a shovel and stood side by side to shovel a handful of soil before the start of construction. All kinds of news media clattered and took pictures, which was regarded as the "foundation".In Angola, the domestic method of laying a foundation is not very popular. What is more popular among them is the expression that the leaders took the lead in "starting construction" in the past, just like inviting celebrities before the first game of a football or baseball season. It used to be pretty much tee off.After such a thing, President Jose also let go of his hands. He took photos taken by various news media and went to the conference of dozens of African countries. He was going to brag about it at the conference. Such a livelihood project of my own.

As for Jia Hongjian, he didn't stay in Angola too much. After the arrangements were almost made, he came to the United States to see how the new Android system was doing.Although it was only a beta version before, such a version is now perfected very quickly, because after all, it is only to find bugs, and the main function construction has been completed. The system's "strip" machine is fine to play, so that during all kinds of messy use, see if there are any bugs.But speaking of it, this bug really exists, and there are many!But the real headache is far from the bugs in this kind of code!Even if Jia Hongjian and the others are looking for a group of software engineers who have never developed mobile phones before, even if the things made by these "newcomers" do have a lot of bugs, in fact, such a thing as a bug has no life after all.Just find out these things and eliminate and fix them. The real trouble is something else!What's the matter?For example, something that even Jia Hongjian didn't quite understand - visual voicemail!Such a thing seems to be proposed by a newcomer in the team. According to him, there is such a thing as voicemail service in the United States.It is a bit similar to the one in American movies where landlines can record missed calls, like "Hi, this is the Sever family, we are not at home now, if you have something to do, you can hear a beep Leave a message later..."

If such a thing records on a landline, it needs a landline with a recording function to match.But it's different on mobile phones. The storage capacity of early mobile phones was simply not enough.Therefore, it is impossible for the mobile phone to record the recording by the machine itself.So Americans are used to using voice mail again, what should we do?So telecom service providers like AT&T came up with a solution, that is, they prepared a server to centralize a voice storage medium of the previous voice mailbox from the customer to their operator.So if you make a phone call in the United States for voice recording.That is a communication service provider such as AT&T to provide recording media for recording.The overall process is similar to someone calling Jia Hongjian's cell phone.Called a few times but didn't answer.It was automatically "forwarded" to a special voice mailbox, and then the caller could leave a message, and then such an at&t system.Then it will automatically send a text message to Jia Hongjian's mobile phone, reminding him that there is a voicemail message, and let Jia Hongjian read it and listen to it.Then Jia Hongjian dialed the voicemail number with his mobile phone or other mobile phones, and after entering the password, he could hear the message.At first, when Jia Hongjian heard about such a function that he had never used in China, he asked curiously—why do we need a voicemail?Since no one answers the call, there will be a missed call display. If you have something to say, just send a text message or something?Why go to voicemail to leave a message?

As a result, after Andy Rubin and the people in the group explained it, Jia Hongjian understood why—Nagada in the United States is sparsely populated, and there are actually no signals in many wild places!Because these operators in the United States do not need to listen to the government 100% like China Mobile or something!The government said that it will build signal towers in no-man’s land, and China Mobile will build them even if it loses money. However, the United States is a market economy, and all kinds of communication companies invest in the construction of signal towers in places where they can make money. In a place that is definitely losing money, people are struggling to build signal towers?So there may still be a signal in the wild in China, but there may be no signal in the wild in the United States!So what do you do when there is no signal?For example, if you go camping, you can't answer an important call!So after having a voicemail, people can leave a message, and the owner of the phone goes back to an area with a signal and makes a call. Isn't that still possible?

On the other hand, if you need to turn off your phone or turn it into a flight state to reject all signals when you are flying or other times, then text messages cannot be sent at such a time, in case there is an important message at such a time Is there a phone call?So it is better to have voicemail!For such an explanation, Jia Hongjian thinks that according to Chinese habits, text messages can still solve the problem-no matter whether the mobile phone is turned off or there is no signal before, as long as the caller sends a text message to the owner to explain the situation, turn back to the phone If the main unit is turned on or has a signal, can it receive text messages?In this regard, it can only be said that the usage habits of people in China and the United States are different.Americans may have been used to using voice recorders in the past, so in the era of mobile phones, they still subconsciously want to continue using this service.

Then again, why would this voicemail service be a problem?The main problem is that after a newcomer in the team pointed out that Americans are accustomed to using voicemail, the newcomer raised another opinion-let’s build an Android system under the guidance of the great Mr. Jia, everything is to be done. Visualization is all about touch.So in such a situation, should such a voice mailbox also be visualized?Such a proposal made Andy Rubin greatly appreciate it!So he began to try to visualize the voicemail. In one of his ideas, such a visualized voicemail.It should be such a structure - a page like a historical dialing record, and then there will be entries of various voicemail messages in it, and each entry will also write the time and so on.Then click on such an entry, the entry will automatically connect to the server of a service provider such as AT&T, and then the voice message will be downloaded and played on the machine.

This is pretty good, but there is a problem, and that is to interface with service providers like at&t!That's right!What interface to use, what verification procedures are there, and how to transmit the user name and password of this machine to other people's servers.Is it necessary to negotiate with AT&T?If it is done behind closed doors.It is basically impossible to succeed, and at&t must open the permissions!After all, people used to dial up the services of AT&T and enter the password. If they want to make it visualized now, they have to download it and listen to it.Why do you need to connect with other people's servers!Otherwise, you can only call as usual!

So how did this become a problem?It's also very simple.The development of such a new Android system under the guidance of Jia Hongjian is highly confidential.relative!The iron rule that Jia Hongjian set down at the beginning was that when he did not hold a press conference, no one was allowed to speak out!Everyone who has access to the development of the new Android system has signed an nda, which is a non-disclosure agreement.Anyone who leaks it will face a huge liquidated damages that they will never be able to afford in their lifetime!And now for such a visualized voicemail, it is necessary to cooperate and negotiate with AT&T, so should I tell AT&T that they are working on such a visualized thing?Is this a bit of a leak?What if someone in AT&T has a big mouth and tells Motorola and Apple what to do?Will people realize that Jia Hongjian and the others are going to become competitors all of a sudden?This really affects the whole body!

So for such a question, it needs Jia Hongjian to make a decision!Under such a situation, is it necessary to contact AT&T?To be honest, let Jia Hongjian say that he really doesn't want to contact AT&T!Because there is no way to keep this kind of thing secret-even if we get the other party to sign the nda, but if we call or come to talk about such a matter, it is itself a secret!Let's talk to AT&T, no matter what it is, if Motorola and Apple find out about such a thing, it's not a good thing!So what to do?If we don't make such a stuff, how can the American people think our stuff is easy to use?Although such a function is really dispensable to Jia Hongjian, but our mobile phone must be localized if it is to enter the United States!When KFC enters China, they know that they want to sell rice. When Chinese mobile phone manufacturers arrive in the United States, they still feel that they are not good enough, and they insist on correcting the habits of Americans... This is unreasonable, right?

So what to do?An idea suddenly appeared in Jia Hongjian's mind - how about we use Holmes' server to get something like "**" for this thing? **This kind of software can directly transmit voice, isn't it almost like a voice mailbox?Moreover, there is also an American version of WhatsApp in the United States in later generations, called "whatsapp". Such a thing is almost the same as WhatsApp, and it can send messages, pictures and voices!Since we are smart phones, can we simply use such a thing instead?If it’s not possible, let’s add a voicemail-like function to such a software?At that time, for example, if A calls B and can't get through, can you leave a message on Holmes' server directly through B's mobile phone number instead of voice mail such as AT&T?Then Holmes' server will automatically push such a voice message to B's mobile phone?First push a piece of software or something, and then let the other party go to Sherlock Holmes' special page to download it when it is convenient for the other party to surf the Internet?

It is good to think this way, but it is not without problems. First of all, it is troublesome to use. After all, it is not provided by the direct communication service provider, so it cannot be directly transferred to the voicemail after the call fails, and it needs to be operated by others.Consumers are lazy in the first place, who would like to take a few more steps?And not to mention that service providers like at&t already provide voicemail!So if Jia Hongjian thinks about it, maybe many people will still use AT&T's service in the future, and the owner of the phone will still have to call to listen!In this way, the different smart features of Jia Hongjian's mobile phone will be lost!On the other hand, such a software also has a problem, that is, things like ** can only be used with each other between large-screen smartphones. Whose functional phones can communicate with smartphones? Chatting with **?No!

So this raises a question, does this limit the relatives and friends around consumers to also buy such a mobile phone, so that consumers can get rid of voice mail?Otherwise, customers are still using feature phones, and they can't use **, so what should I do?According to the usage habits of Americans, this will definitely return to the voice mailbox in the end!So thinking about such a thing, Jia Hongjian himself felt a headache!Later, Jia Hongjian came up with a solution that was not a solution - if it really doesn't work, let's procrastinate?How about making the general function of such a visual voicemail first, but without contacting at&t and other communication providers, and then after our mobile phone is announced, let's contact them?But I just don’t know if it’s enough to get it done in such a little time between the announcement and the release!What if there are still many functions that need to be improved by then?What if you are too busy at that time?These things really made Jia Hongjian's mind ache!
