Chapter 428 My heart is broken
For technology trendsetters, waiting for the iPhone is undoubtedly quite painful.
They were deeply attracted by this mobile phone. People who didn’t buy iTouch before started to buy it to satisfy their hunger. Some potential consumers who planned to buy iTouch thought that it would be better to wait for a mobile phone with more comprehensive functions to come out.
The idea is quite good, but the pity is that this product is not just bought.
Especially when I heard that the iPhone has not yet been officially mass-produced, many people were heartbroken, and they were looking forward to it.
How hot can a mobile phone be? Just look at the recent news reports about the iPhone. It can be said to be overwhelming. There is no need to advertise. People’s word of mouth is the best advertising marketing. Every day, people go to Apple’s direct sales store to ask when they can buy it, but they get The answer is only disappointment.
We must know that this is not an era of smartphones blooming, and it is Symbian that is competing with the iOS operating system... Needless to say how big the disparity in strength is. Recently, the CEO of Nokia has poured dirty water on Apple many times, which shows how impatient it is. .
Because it is unique and has really kicked off a new era, so it is normal to be popular.
Many people suddenly feel that the new Motorola flagship phone they just bought has suddenly become ugly and rubbish. The idea of wanting to change mobile phones has gradually enveloped the world, which is worse than the flu.
In the next half a month or so, there will be six waves of thieves who invaded Apple, each of which is very famous. Someone issued a reward of one million dollars just to get an iPhone that has not yet been launched. These guys After being caught, they all spoke in unison, all for this phone.
If it’s just like this, it’s fine. Anyway, everyone doesn’t have it. Although the wait is getting angry, it’s still acceptable. Good things are always worth waiting for.
But in mid-June, a picture deeply stimulated them.
A netizen took a picture of Ye Dongqing holding her phone sideways, dotting on the screen, with earphones plugged into her ears, it is said that she was playing a game.
When this netizen posted the picture on Facebook, there was a wave of crusade immediately, and they ran to Apple's official account, asking why he could get it, but he couldn't buy it?
The news spread instantly, and the public relations department of Apple saw the bright spots, and directly sold a screen in Times Square, writing on it: "We are sorry, but he is our major shareholder, so..."
This marketing is really amazing, and it has a wave of goodwill from users.
This led to a sudden increase in the number of people who borrowed cell phones from Ye Dongqing to watch. Even his nannies, his daughter's nutritionist, and his bodyguards were no exception. No matter where they went, the most common sentence they heard was "Can you give me Look at your phone?"
When Richard rushed over to steal his mobile phone, he was directly pushed down by the bodyguards. He was a billionaire and had a super-rich grandpa, which really embarrassed the Rockefeller family.
In recent years, there have been more and more technological products that have touched people's nerves, but only the iPhone is the most powerful, and colleagues can only admire it. They watched Apple's market value rise again and again in more than half a month, until it reached 40 billion US dollars. I didn't mean to stop. I heard that Jobs recently went for a walk on the street when he had nothing to do, and enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by others. He hadn't received such attention before.
Ye Dongqing was even more wicked. She was on the phone and drove a sports car from one end of Fifth Avenue to the other. ?
**********
In the short term, Nasdaq's capital transactions have increased significantly, which directly caused Ye Dongqing's worth to distance from Gates.
Being the richest man in the world for a period of time, I finally accepted this change in identity. I am in a relatively good mood recently, and I will probably never have to worry about money again in this life.
To be honest, the speed of spending money is not as fast as the speed of making money, which is also an annoyance. Ye Dongqing has not bought anything for a while, because she has everything she should have, and there is almost no place to spend money. boring.
There is no rush for iPhone mass production. The processing and production of accessories takes time, and the assembly process also takes time. The foundry has been on standby 24 hours a day, striving to shorten the production cycle.
The long-lost sense of anticipation is back, because in addition to environmental protection and public welfare, he has found a small goal worthy of lifelong efforts—like Musk’s pursuit, Ye Dongqing wants to send the first batch of people on earth to the world through hard work in his lifetime. to Mars.
No one knows what there is on Mars, and he may never get back his investment, but after he can no longer find a "peak" worth climbing on the earth, he can only look further afield and try to do it. Some more meaningful people, such as paying attention to the destiny of mankind, changing the status quo of society, participating in public welfare and charity, etc., these propositions are very big, but he feels that he has the hope to change something through hard work.
Recently, more time has been spent on charitable foundations. The medical research and development team has a general framework and has successfully acquired several companies in the new energy field and research and development laboratories. However, it is still tree planting that has succeeded so far. Money is enough, there is no technical content, and it is not impossible to make money. The economic effect of artificial regenerated forests is not bad, but the rate of return is too low, and few people are willing to spend a long time waiting for profits.
The endangered animal protection plan has also started, with a total initial investment of 100 million U.S. dollars. The group of people who lent the money to Ye Dongqing are not in any hurry to get the money back. The only worry is that the interest is not enough. Just a joke, no matter who he forcibly pays it back now, the other party may slap the table and get angry. The interest rate is indeed too high, and no one wants to miss this kind of safe opportunity to make money.
On June 24th, more than half of 2006 has passed in the blink of an eye. The main frame of the Cobra Building has reached a height of more than 500 meters. The walls haven't started yet.
Ye Dongqing has nothing to do today, so she came to Hudson Park to visit. The apartment building jointly invested with another company is also under construction, and the entire building complex may take shape faster than expected.
The old Mr. Bloomberg didn’t draw big cakes. The rectification work of the surrounding old buildings and old parks is indeed in progress. At this moment, walking with Laura on the construction site, he asked with a smile: “I haven’t seen you for more than two months. Is the filming going well? If you don’t like it, just come back to me, so many houses are mine, and there will be no shortage of places for you to live in.”
For Laura, the longer we know each other, the deeper the relationship will always be.
Laura didn't appreciate it. Now that she is quite successful in the entertainment industry, her demeanor is different from the past. She gave him a blank look and replied, "It's been a while since I saw you, and you're starting to be able to coax women. Who did you get it from?"
