For this product in hand, Ye Dongqing can pick out a bunch of small faults.

For example, the screen is not clear enough, such as the fluency is not enough, such as the function is simple, etc., the heat is still strong, the battery can only watch five hours of movies, and the volume is relatively large, and it is quite heavy.

However, it is unique in the market, and no other operating system can compete with this product in the short term, which is enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that when this product begins to be sold to the outside world, it will be the beginning of Apple's dominance, and this refers to the mobile smart terminal market, which has appeared, will it be far from the birth of the first generation of iPhone? It is estimated that it will be within next year.

He provided valuable advice, which Apple executed from top to bottom, and judging by the recent market performance of laptops and all-in-ones, the cooperation between the two sides is good for everyone.

This is probably the reason why other shareholders still praise Ye Dongqing in public after the independent director Mr. Campbell was ousted, because Ye Dongqing can help them make money, Apple's stock price is booming, there is money to be made, and there is nothing to concentrate power.

Of course, there are many people who curse Ye Dongqing, mainly the guys who chose to sell their shares to him in the first place.

At the time of the acquisition, they thought the deal was pretty good, but now that they look at it, as Apple's stock price has doubled to more than $11 billion, the winner has suddenly become Ye Dongqing.

The same situation happened to some former shareholders of Amazon and Netflix, and every time they thought of what stupid things they had done, many of them turned black in front of their eyes and were so depressed that they couldn't eat.

This is not Ye Dongqing's business, doing business is based on interests, and he doesn't have the spare time to care about the life and death of others, anyway, he has made money through Tamsui Investment Group, and many stocks have recently exploded at the same time, and it is very appropriate to describe it as "daily gold".

It is just beginning to make efforts, and the future is promising.

And Mr. Jobs and a group of developers, discussed some of the features that need to be improved, and looked at the original iPhone in development, there are still several problems to solve, and several companies are negotiating, Qualcomm is responsible for collaborative research and development of microprocessors, LG LCD panel company is accelerating the development of a new generation of LCD screens, batteries, sensor integration or something is also in the process of research and development, and it cannot meet Jobs's requirements for the time being.

is worthy of being a workaholic, after the operation at that time, Jobs continued to stare at the research and development the next day, so that Ye Dongqing couldn't help but feel that he would not give him more share rewards in the future, and he was simply sorry for this guy.

After the visit, I immediately felt bored, after leaving from this floor, I pulled Jobs to talk about the production of iTouch, which can be sold to the outside world in February and March next year, there is no need to delay for too long, it is just a semi-finished product after castration, and it will be replaced soon.

……

"I think it's better to wait a little longer, the cost is relatively high, even if it is handed over to a third-party assembly company, in the case of a significant reduction in production costs, the price may have to be set at about 800 US dollars, in order to ensure our profitability.

In addition, the debugging time is not long enough, and maybe there is a problem, they are trying to streamline the code to improve the smoothness during operation, the shape has not been finalized, the plastic texture is cheap to the touch, and the characteristic aluminum alloy shell means that the cost increases. Many of the parts are custom-made by us, and the cost of those prototypes is more than six million dollars, and I can't estimate the cost after actual mass production, mainly depending on how big the sales are. ”

Jobs sat at the tea table and made tea for Ye Dongqing seriously.

He spent some time in India and liked yoga and Chinese Zen culture, and the doctor told him that it was better to be calm, and that his personality had indeed changed a little since he was sick again.

The project is about to be put on the agenda, and there must be a consensus on these things before they can be discussed.

In the past, it was good to explain to the board of directors, but now that there are major shareholders, they still hold a large number of voting rights, and they must obtain Ye Dongqing's consent in terms of operation and management, otherwise there will be any contradictions, and it will be Jobs and Cook and others who will suffer, who will let them have fewer shares.

Cook was also there, he was worried that Ye Dong was young and frivolous, and said as if explaining: "I agree with Steve's idea on this point, we must launch the most perfect product, this is the basis for our company to win the trust of users, so long waiting, why can't we wait for two more months, maybe we can arrange a press conference on January 1 next year." ”

Ye Dongqing felt that they should have misunderstood something, and couldn't help but explain: "I don't mean to intervene, I just want to say that the assembly and mass production of parts and components have been able to start in advance, otherwise there will be no large inventory after the press conference, and we may be in some kind of predicament."

In addition, the telecom operators can also contact in advance, organize an internal showcase, see what kind of benefits they can give, we can work with them, to help them get more users, slightly lower the cost of Internet access, develop more wireless network users, those who don't have laptops at home, may not even know what wireless transmission technology is, which is a big obstacle to our company's product promotion. ”

This is the truth, desktops can be plugged in, laptops also have data interfaces, and few people use the home wireless network that is still very "chicken".

In the past, it was possible to have it or not, but after the launch of the iTouch, if consumers did not have the will to install it, or did not know how to install it, it would most likely limit the sales of this product.

There are still a lot of issues that need to be discussed, after all, it is a new product, and it will take a certain amount of time for consumers to accept it slowly.

So at the moment, you can probably guess what the situation will be when the time comes, the sales of the first generation iTouch are destined to not be good, and even the first generation iPhone may be ignored by the public, and in a few years, after the network technology is more perfect, then it will usher in an explosive period, and most of these will become stepping stones.

The sales plan can be discussed, Ye Dongqing has not yet formulated a specific plan, and at this moment gave Jobs and Mr. Cook a little advice, such as waiting until iTouch comes out to start selling ideas, first brainwashing people, so that they can understand that such products can be born in the context of the Internet era, and the side can also stimulate suppliers to develop new products that meet their needs as soon as possible.

These are more macro development plans, which may not be visible at the moment, but they are very beneficial to future development......
