Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"This is our new project. I saw the direction our company should take from smartphones."

Steve Jobs waved the smartphone in his hand at his R&D team. After smartphones had been on the market for so long, Jobs had also bought one. After playing with it for a while, he discovered that they could also make this kind of thing, and even better.

"But we don't have patents. We need patents, lots and lots of patents. And we don't have chips. If we manufacture the phone, we'll have to pay a lot in patent fees, and we'll lose money."

The finance person in charge of cost accounting poured cold water on the idea, but he was right. If they were to develop mobile phones now, the cost would be enormous. They would need to purchase or license GSM-related technologies from Europe, which would be a considerable expense. And then there's the CDMA technology. I heard that Q-Tong has a patent wall, which is terrifying to think about.

There's also the touchscreen technology, the battery... I'm afraid a lot will be needed.

"When have we ever cared about patents?"

Everyone paused for a moment, then Joe said, "We'll use it, and then when they come to us, we can negotiate and then sue. During this time, we can bypass those patents and develop our own."

"Let's put these things aside. We need to get our own phones first. Are you OK?"

"OK, Sir!"

And so, Apple entered the mobile phone manufacturing industry. Perhaps the smartphone set the precedent, making the rest easier to figure out.

"Given the abundance of patents, and the fact that smartphones are like computers, why not miniaturize our computers and adopt a highly integrated design? This way, we can avoid many of the negative impacts."

Fruit Company owns many patents on computers, so his idea was immediately recognized by others.

Then, all that's missing for their phones is a screen patent and a chip patent.

There are two patents, one for G network and one for C network. Therefore, they need to send people to negotiate. These two patents are troublesome, but C network can be put aside for now, and they should choose G network, which is a patented technology commonly used in Europe and America.

For some patents, submitting the most basic documentation is sufficient, as per the regulations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). However, for patents that haven't been a member, things become more complicated, requiring negotiations, such as with Q-Tong. And then there's the touch technology.

"Should we join the Grand Marshal Foundation and become members too?" Master Qiao muttered to himself, then answered, "We must join."

The Grand Marshal Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is easy to join, but you must pay a membership fee to become a member. If you don't pay, you can expect to be sued, and this includes, but is not limited to, lawsuits.

"After joining, it really did have benefits; these patents saved us a lot of trouble."

After the fruit company applied to join the Da Sima Fund as a member, Zhang San immediately found out and it made him think that the company might be going to manufacture mobile phones. Therefore, he immediately asked the fund company to continue to increase its holdings of the fruit company's stock.

On one hand, they were getting fund companies to increase their holdings, and on the other hand, they were spreading rumors that Steve Jobs was getting old and lacked innovation, and that Apple hadn't seen much improvement since his return. After so many years back, was it...?

Such questions are numerous and pervasive across the North American internet.

"In the future, Fruit Company will just be a computer company; it will lose its drive to innovate."

"I never imagined the fruit company was going to go bankrupt..."

"Even the great Steve Jobs couldn't defy the passage of time?"

"Perhaps his past glory has made him obsessed with the past and unable to extricate himself."

……

These online comments have led many to wonder if Steve Jobs is no longer a god. This is also reflected in the board meetings... How could that be? Those who remained at the board meetings were people who shared his ideals.

The storms outside had no effect on him, but the stock price drop was real.

"Sell all the shares of that damn fruit company, liquidate them, and get me some GO's stock instead. I trust GO's will be just as good."

"Wow, sir, that's a wise choice."

On the other hand, someone else made a similar decision: "Help me sell my fruit company stock and buy Amazon stock instead. I feel that e-commerce is an important part of the future of retail."

Many people are switching stocks because they've discovered that Apple has only been selling computers in recent years and is living off its past successes.

If things continue like this, they will be eliminated in this rapidly changing era, so they are not optimistic about them.

Because some people have proclaimed the slogan of mobile internet, some analysts have analyzed that in the era of mobile internet, a smartphone can do many things, so computers will become obsolete products.

Someone reposted an article on Yahoo! Taiwan. The article was signed "THREE" (in English). In it, the author pointed out that mobile internet and traditional internet differ significantly in many ways.

Mobile internet is primarily based on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, offering portability and real-time access, allowing users to access the internet anytime, anywhere. Traditional internet, on the other hand, relies more on fixed devices such as computers.

In terms of user experience, mobile internet is simpler and more intuitive to operate, adapting to the characteristics of mobile devices, while the interface and operation of traditional internet are relatively complicated.

Furthermore, mobile internet applications are more diverse, including mobile payments, location services, and instant messaging, providing users with a more convenient lifestyle. Traditional internet, on the other hand, primarily focuses on information access and online communication.

With the continuous development of technology, the trend of convergence between mobile Internet and traditional Internet is becoming increasingly apparent, with each complementing the other and jointly promoting the development and innovation of the Internet.

After this article was published, the stocks of many telecom operators rose. Not only that, but many high-tech companies also saw their stocks rise, especially Q-Tong. They believed that what THREE said was true. Soon after, a movie about mobile internet was released by Hollywood's global film studio.

That article was written by Zhang San. He was ahead of others in deploying mobile internet. He not only held a large number of shares in related companies, but also held more patents. Therefore, he wanted to be one step ahead. Moreover, the internet infrastructure in mainland China was in the Da Sima Fund and could be used globally. However, there were six manufacturers worldwide, three of which were his, in Hong Kong. He indirectly controlled two others, one in North America and one in Europe. The last one was in Taiwan and had no connection with him.
