Chapter 426: My Heart Is Broken
For tech boomers, waiting for an iPhone is undoubtedly quite painful.
They were deeply lured by this mobile phone, and people who did not buy iTouch began to buy it to satisfy their hunger, and some potential consumers who planned to buy iTouch thought that it was better to wait for a more comprehensive mobile phone to come out.
The idea is quite good, but unfortunately this product is not something that can be bought just by buying it.
Especially when I heard that the iPhone had not yet been officially mass-produced, many people's hearts were broken, and they were eager to wear it.
Just look at the recent news reports about the iPhone, you can know that it is overwhelming, no advertising, people's word of mouth is the best advertising and marketing, every day people go to Apple stores to ask when they can buy it, but the answer is only disappointment.
You must know that this is not the era of smartphones, and it is Symbian who is fighting the iOS operating system...... Needless to say, there is no need to say how big the disparity in strength is, and the CEO of Nokia has poured dirty water on Apple many times recently, which shows how anxious he is.
Because it is unique and truly kicks off a new era, it is normal to be welcomed.
Many people suddenly feel that the new Motorola flagship phone they just bought has suddenly become ugly and garbage, and the idea of changing their mobile phones has gradually spread around the world, which is worse than the flu.
In the next half a month, there were six waves of thieves who invaded Apple alone, each of which was very famous, and someone sent a million-dollar bounty just to get the iPhone that has not yet been launched.
If it's just that, forget it, everyone doesn't have it anyway, although the wait is hot, but it can still be accepted, and good things are always worth waiting for.
But in mid-June, they were deeply irritated by an image.
Some netizens photographed Ye Dongqing holding his mobile phone horizontally, dotting on it, and with headphones in his ears, it was said that he was playing a game.
When this netizen posted the picture on Facebook, he immediately set off a crusade, and ran to Apple's official account, asking why he could get it, but he couldn't buy it?
The news spread in an instant, and Apple's public relations department saw the bright spot, and directly sold a screen in Times Square, writing on it: "We are sorry, but he is our majority shareholder, so ......"
This marketing is really amazing, and it is angry to brush up on a wave of user goodwill.
This led to a sudden increase in the number of people who borrowed Ye Dongqing's mobile phone to watch, even his nanny, his daughter's nutritionist, and his bodyguard, no matter where he went, the most common sentence he heard was "Can you show me your mobile phone?"
When Richard came in a hurry and was about to steal his mobile phone, he was directly knocked down by the bodyguards, who was a billionaire and a super-rich grandfather, who simply lost the face of the Rockefeller family.
In recent years, there are more and more scientific and technological products that affect people's nerves, but only the iPhone is the most powerful, peers can only admire, watching Apple rise again and again in more than half a month, until 40 billion US dollars did not stop, I heard that Jobs recently went to the street to walk around the corner, enjoying the feeling of being noticed by others, he was not so concerned before.
Ye Dongqing is even more lacking in morality, driving a sports car on the phone, from this end of Fifth Avenue to that end, the people I saw along the way, the hatred in my heart, even if I have money, I don't want to sell it quickly!?
In the short term, the NASDAQ's capital trading has increased significantly, which directly led to Ye Dongqing's value being distanced from Gates.
After being the richest man in the world for a while, he finally accepted this change in identity, and he has been in a good mood recently, and he probably doesn't have to worry about money anymore in this life.
To be honest, the speed of spending money is not as fast as the speed of making money, which is also a kind of annoyance, Ye Dongqing hasn't bought anything for a while, because he has everything he should have, and he can hardly find a place to spend money, which is very boring.
The mass production of the iPhone is not in a hurry, the processing and production of accessories takes time, and the assembly process also takes time, and the foundry has been on call 24 hours a day to shorten the production cycle.
The long-lost sense of anticipation has returned, because in addition to environmental protection and public welfare, he has found a small goal worth his life's efforts - like Musk's pursuit, Ye Dongqing wants to send the first batch of earthlings to Mars through hard work in his lifetime.
No one knows what is on Mars, and may never get back the investment, but after no longer finding a "peak" worth climbing on the earth, he can only look farther away, trying to be some more meaningful people, such as paying attention to the fate of mankind, changing the status quo of society, devoting himself to public welfare and charity, etc., these propositions are very big, but he feels that he has hope to change something through hard work.
Recently, more time has been spent on the charitable foundation, the pharmaceutical R&D team has a general framework, and has successfully acquired several new energy enterprises and R&D laboratories, but the current success is still tree planting, this kind of thing can cost money, there is no technical content, it is not that it can't make money, the economic effect of artificial regeneration forest 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 begun, with a total initial investment of 100 million US dollars, and the group of people who lent the money to Ye Dongqing are not in a hurry to get the money back, but they are worried that the interest is not enough, and he does not need to be in a hurry to repay the money now, to tell a joke, now no matter who he forcibly returns, the other party may slap the table and get angry, the interest 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, and the main frame of the Cobra Building has reached more than 500 meters, and it is expected that it can be capped in August.
Ye Dongqing has nothing to do today, so he came to Hudson Park to visit, and the apartment building invested in partnership with another company is also under construction, and the whole complex may take shape faster than expected.
Old Mr. Bloomberg didn't paint a pie, the rectification work of the surrounding old buildings and old parks is indeed going on, at this moment, accompanying Laura on the construction site, he asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than two months, the movie is still going well, right? If you don't like it, just come back to me, so many houses, all mine, there will be no shortage of places for you to live." ”
For Laura, after knowing each other for a long time, the feelings will always be a little deeper.
Laura didn't appreciate it, but now she is quite successful in the entertainment industry, her bearing is different from the past, she gave him a blank look, and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have started to coax women, who did you exercise from?"
