Chapter 545: The Strongest Smartphone Ecosystem

A week later, the iPhone 1 has reached 21 million units sold, and the number of users in the United States alone has reached more than 8 million. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the daily sales of the iPhone 1 slowly declined, mainly because the iPhone 1 was too expensive, and users were reluctant to spend money to buy it. However, with the increasing number of people using iPhones, it has become a fashion, and many people are saving money. Others play iphone1 mobile phones, chat online, watch videos, if you take a Nokia mobile phone out, you instantly feel too low!

Other mobile phone manufacturers are already jealous, but what makes them even more envious and jealous is that the appstore app store on the iphone1 mobile phone is also a cash cow, as of now, the number of software downloads is as high as 210 million, and each user has downloaded at least 10 software on average! Such as icq, youtube, facebook, wps, PayPal and other essential software, with a monopoly position, these software almost all charge, as little as five dollars, more than a hundred dollars, the total revenue of 6.45 billion dollars!

Here, the user wonders at first, how can there be PayPal software, but not Amazon, ebay and Alibaba?

In fact, the third-party payment software PayPal comes with these software programs, and its design is completely modeled after Alipay. As for why it is designed like this? In fact, the reason is very simple, mobile payment is the payment entrance, and the entrance is king!!

Therefore, it is far more important to seize the payment entrance than the e-commerce platform!!

Henry, this is a big game of chess!

Mobile payment will be the entrance to mobile Internet financial services, and it is also an important entrance to the O2O (online-to-offline) industry, including food delivery, taxis, etc., involving all walks of life.

Henry not only wants to build an Ant Financial, but also wants to build O2O industries such as "Hungry" and "Uber"! At present, except for Henry's ability to lay out the mobile Internet, other companies are powerless in a short period of time, so he has time to lay out calmly!

In addition to the huge revenue from the AppStore, the number of music downloads on iTunes has also skyrocketed, with a total of 400 million songs downloaded at $0.99 per song, for a total revenue of nearly $400 million. Obviously, this number is going to get bigger and bigger, no one doesn't like music, and with new songs and more iPhone users, it will lead to an increase in revenue!

Currently, Jackson and others are filming a commercial short film in Diego. When they saw that the iPhone was so popular, they were shocked and overjoyed at the same time. Just imagine, what an honor it is to be the spokesperson of the iPhone! After the release of the advertising short, the fame will inevitably rise!

Therefore, during the filming of the advertisement, everyone worked very hard, and during the period, they couldn't help but be shocked to hear that the iphone was actually designed by Henry himself!

Fan Bingbing, Lin Chiling, Liu Yifei and other actresses are even more admired by Henry, but it is a pity that Henry has never met since dinner with them.

……

On October 20th, Smith, who was in charge of acquiring the company for Henry, came to Henry's office.

"Your Majesty, there's one thing I think you should be very interested in!" Smith said, bowing slightly.

"Tell me, what's the matter!" said Henry.

"Your Majesty, the Betussmann Group is a global media and services giant with television, books, magazines, services and media clubs in more than 50 countries around the world, including Europe's leading entertainment content production and distribution company." RTL Group, the world's largest popular book publishing group - Random House, the world's magazine giant - Gounayar, one of the world's largest service providers of international media services - Arvato Group, and one of the world's top five record labels - BMG Records, ......"

"If we can acquire Betussmann Group, then we will have strong competitiveness in the content media, which will help us build a more perfect industrial ecosystem!

After Smith finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Henry, waiting for his orders.

Henry immediately said: "Smith, you should immediately go to Germany and get in touch with the Betusmann Group to complete this acquisition!"

"Yes, then I'll leave now!!" Smith replied, and said goodbye to Henry.

"Go ahead!" Henry nodded.

Looking at Smith's back, Henry showed a hint of a smile and muttered: "Of course I will do a good thing to destroy Sony! What's more, the acquisition of the Betusmann Group is so beneficial to me." Once its resources are integrated, it can be described as powerful in the content area!"

So three days later, a piece of news came out of Germany, which immediately caused a sensation around the world!

"Williams Royal Family Investment Company wants to invest $100 billion to acquire the German Betussmann Group!"

Reuters later reported: "Some people may be unfamiliar with Williams Crown Investment Company, but when they see the words 'Williams Royal Family', they must also know whose company this company is! Williams Royal Family Investment Company's predecessor was Weifeng Capital, but it has just changed its name."

On October 23, Williams Crown Investment suddenly announced that it was going to buy the media giant Betussmann Group, which was very surprising. However, when I think about it, I think it makes sense. The iPhone comes with iTunes and iBook software, and music, videos, books, and magazines can not only bring Apple a lot of revenue, but also increase the attractiveness and stickiness of users. Therefore, from the iPhone, we can vaguely get a glimpse of Henry Williams's business layout!!"

According to Bloomberg, "Henry Williams acquires Betussmann Group with the intention of creating the strongest smartphone ecosystem!!"

“……”

In the office of the chairman of Sony, Shin'ichi Idei, the chairman of the company, looked angry and said angrily: "How could it be so coincidental!! Henry Williams actually sent someone to buy the Bertelsmann Group at the time of the merger of Sony Records and BMG Records, he must be targeting us!"

With a "snap", Nobuyuki Idei slapped the desk hard, and his palms turned red due to the excessive force.

If Henry heard this, he would definitely sneer disdainfully: "It's aimed at you, what's the matter!!"
