Chapter 483: Miscellaneous Matters
So far, Mr. Sumu is also the CEO of Penguin Apple, and as the company's share of the global market has grown, he has received three option awards, which are worth about $340 million at today's share price.
The company's management structure is very perfect, and there is not much to worry about in ordinary times, just to continue to develop step by step, and gradually launch new products from generation to generation.
According to the current scientific and technological development, the field of personal computers will not change much in at least ten years, the brand image has been firmly established, the product line can meet almost all the needs of users, and it is good to maintain the leading edge in performance and quality.
Penguin brand computers have high-end series and low-end series, all of which are equipped with Microsoft's indos operating system, covering both personal computers and mobile notebook markets.
The Apple brand also sells PCs and mobile computers, equipped with the Mac-OS operating system, so that users can choose any product they want at this company, and the price is slightly higher than that of its peers, but the after-sales service and product quality are also better.
In addition, its Apple mobile phone, is also slowly expanding the number of users, IPhone1 sales are not high, IPhone2 has also been listed in March this year, as a replacement model, it has a larger screen, longer standby battery, is moving towards the direction conceived by Su Mu, with the joint efforts of many companies, it is expected to wait until next year, will launch a more advanced product.
Previously, Michael Dell asked Su Mu if he wanted to buy his Dell shares, and now Penguin Apple has reached an agreement with Dell to wait for the money to be transferred to his account.
Speaking of Michael Dyer, he is one of the first people Su Mu knew in the Silicon Valley area, he has long been a super-rich man, and he has a strange personality, and he is currently thinking about developing an electric car project, which is destined to develop twists and turns, given the resistance from vested interests in the oil industry.
After Su Mu met with Dale at the end of last year, Su Mu also invested a sum of money, about 35 percent of the company's total shares, at a cost of $200 million in cash, and gave up the management of the company, because he believed in Dell's ability, he dared to do so.
Time has just entered the 21st century, the world is changing because of the development of science and technology, more like the end of the 20th century in the technology of further improvement, to say that the real essential leap, in fact, has not appeared.
The company is about to have another brand "Dell", which means that the market share will be further increased, and it can also provide users with more choices.
Whether to put it into the market or not, we have to wait for the specific research to make a decision, but if there is this kind of intelligent logistics cabinet, it can indeed make the online shopping industry develop better, although the cooperation with the United States Postal Service, FedEx is not bad, but unfortunately their transportation efficiency is too slow, even if the transportation speed can be accelerated for half a day or a day, it makes Su Mu feel the need to build his own logistics system.
Since the advent of online payment instruments, the online shopping market has gradually shown amazing market potential, and the successful listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange also reflects people's optimism about the future prospects of this market, and it is believed that Mr. Jeff Bezos, the founder of the company who once sold his shares to Sumu, must have been in a bad mood recently, and some media statistics have calculated that he has lost at least eight billion US dollars......
A few years ago, Su Mu first proposed the concept of "Internet ecological chain" when many people did not care, or did not pay attention to it, and now it has become a giant in the global Internet field, is extending its tentacles to various industries, using its own development or merger methods, and constantly expand the gap between its opponents, with obvious leading advantages.
Online games are also a very important part of this ecological chain, its importance is reflected in the binding of users, and can also earn countless fortunes for the company, it is also interesting to say, many people are reluctant to buy clothes, watch movies, but are willing to spend money on games.
With the advent of online payment tools, not only has the transaction volume of Maple Leaf Shopping Network skyrocketed, but also the turnover of Snail Games, which made more than $300 million in profits in the first two quarters of this year, and is expected to increase further with the launch of new games.
Li Ping'an said that the speed of network transmission has limited the development of the website he co-founded with Du Zhong, and this limitation is even more obvious in Sumu.
The video website has been tepid, mainly because of the serious jamming phenomenon, which greatly affects the enthusiasm for online movie viewing, only some short videos have become popular, and it is still far from what Su Mu hopes to be able to watch a whole clear movie smoothly on the Internet, and the cost of Internet access is too high, and the ADSL technology that began to be implemented last year still does not meet his goals.
In this case, Su Mu suddenly heard that a new optical fiber communication technology was likely to be drummed up, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined.
Mr. Evans, who came from the R&D center, sat in front of him at this time and said: "It has been tried before, and it has a very fast transmission speed, maybe even 10Gbps, and the technology is close to maturity. Cisco, Bell Labs and other departments are also trying to convert electrical signals into optical signals, and I think we should also participate in research and development.
We have made some breakthroughs in fibre broadband that can be compared to the role that roads, railways, and electricity once played on the economy and society, and it will change the behavior of residents, companies, and governments, and can create new economic markets. ”
"I just want to know how much money I need to invest to get this very fast fiber broadband technology out there. "Su Mu is very direct, he now wants to directly make the Internet speed more than anyone else, and it is best to download a movie in the blink of an eye, which will make the Internet industry climb to new heights again.
Mr. Evans came to the boss to discuss R&D funding after making a detailed plan, and told him: "You have to cooperate with other companies that have patents, and if you want to really enter the commercial promotion stage, it is estimated that it will cost two to three hundred million dollars at the beginning, and no one can say ...... this kind of project."
