Chapter 275: Sniping Apple

Henry officially launched a bid for Sikorsky, and his own professional team was responsible for how to negotiate the specifics.

At this time, "Toy Story" had been drawn in the United States and received $265 million at the box office.

The box office performance is much higher than that of the previous life, thanks to three months of publicity, and secondly, the number of films scheduled.

The U.S. box office is usually a bellwether, and the higher the box office, the more popular it is with other countries.

Subsequently, "Toy Story" was released all over the world, setting off a wave of movie-watching craze.

Hundreds of companies around the world have approached Pixar Animation Studios for a partnership and licensing. In order to expand its influence, Pixar is naturally happy to see it, as long as the other company's strength is strong, those who come will not refuse!

Galaxy Film Company established the Galaxy Film Peripheral Management Company, which is responsible for the peripheral products and production business of film licensing. It also has its own production companies under the Galaxy Film Peripheral Management Company, the most important ones are: Galaxy Toys Company, Galaxy Clothing Company, Galaxy Books and Audio-visual Company, Galaxy Daily Necessities Company and so on. But more is to invest some funds to support third-party manufacturers, making it a relatively stable strategic partner of the Galaxy film system!

One is prosperous, one is lost!

The good development of Galaxy Film Company, the more their companies will be able to earn. Galaxy Films, on the other hand, can use their power to promote the movie offline. All kinds of overwhelming products, from computers and cars to toothbrushes and key rings, are launched on the market, which will inevitably attract people's attention and increase the popularity of the movie.

After the success of Toy Story, Pixar Animation Studios expanded its staffing to 2,000 people and produced two animated films at the same time.

The first is Toy Story 2. The second is "Bug Crisis".

Among these 2,000 people, more than 1,500 of them are reserve talents, and after a period of training and study, more than half of them will be transferred to the TV animation production department to be established by Galaxy Film Company, specializing in the production of TV cartoons.

The value derived from a classic TV cartoon is sometimes more profitable than that of an animated film, and TV cartoons are due to the particularity of the communication medium. It is easier to form a super IP.

Whether it's an animated movie or a TV cartoon, you have to grasp it with both hands, and you have to be hard with both hands!

……

After Clinton took office, he immediately implemented the policy of rapid information development, and the government allocated funds or provided preferential policies to help the company build basic network facilities.

CommScope Fiber Optic has developed a breakthrough with digitally synchronized SDH technology that enables next-generation fiber at speeds of up to 10Gb/s.

And before. The fastest record was only in 1992, when Bell Labs and a Japanese partner collaborated on a successful 5Gb/s experiment.

CommScope Fiber is the clear winner!

When CommScope Fiber announced his development, it caused an immediate uproar in the industry.

At present, only 2.5Gb/s optical fiber is generally used, and the transmission speed is slow, resulting in users generally only getting 56kbps of broadband.

When the speed of optical fiber is increased to 10 Gb/s, the user's broadband can be increased to 2 times, and if you have money, you can open 4 times the original bandwidth.

Williams Telecommunications pioneered the use of CommScope Fiber's SDH fiber. Ready to replace the original fiber and upgrade the entire network!

Williams Telecommunications shouted the slogan: "High-speed network." Unimpeded, giving you the feeling of flying - Williams Telecom, the !! of the 2M broadband era"

1M broadband is 112kbps, and 2M broadband is almost 224kbps.

It's as fast as flying!

When other telecom companies are still 56kbps, but Williams Telecom is 224kbps, the gap widens instantly!

Williams Telecom immediately adjusted the price of Internet access.

Big discount on 56kbps internet access fees. It used to be $1,000 a year, but now it's only $800 a year!

The cost of 112kbps internet access is $1000 a year.

The cost of 224kbps internet access is $1200 a year.

This pricing almost made other telecom companies so depressed that they vomited blood. Nima's own 56kbps and Williams Telecom's 112kbps are actually the same, who wants to go to their own company to open and Internet service?

At this time, the number of Internet users in the United States was increasing day by day.

As for which telecommunications company to choose. Go without saying.

Other telecom companies were forced to cut their prices to $750.

At the same time, a number of telecommunications companies jointly sued Williams Telecommunications for monopoly.

Williams Telecom innocently said: "Because SDH fiber is the latest new product developed by CommScope Fiber, the production capacity is seriously insufficient, and it is very reluctant to just provide it to Williams Telecom." Alas, it's not that we want to monopolize, it's really a lack of production capacity...... Of course, we are already working hard to increase production capacity, and I believe that it will not be long before other telecom companies can use CommScope SDH fiber !!."

This is a set of rhetoric from Williams Telecommunications to the outside world, and this is what it said to CommScope Fiber Optics internally: "Don't worry, everything is in order, how to develop as you want......

The longer it drags on, the more customers Williams Telecom will snatch.

By February, all was well.

Every company is doing very well, and Williams Electronics has developed a new product, the palm handheld, which can snipe Apple's Apple Newton handheld computer and ruin Apple's years of hard work.

Apple's Apple Newton handheld computer is about to be released.

Therefore, the palm handheld computer must be ahead of the curve.

Soon, Williams Electronics held a product launch event and officially unveiled the PALM handheld computer.

Apple was dumbfounded when it saw the news, Williams Electronics had developed a very similar product to it.

It doesn't matter, the point is, the palm handheld computer is only sold for $299, which makes Apple embarrassed?

AppleNewton all cost much more than $299 to manufacture......

Apple is already crying and fainting in the toilet!

When it was rumored within the company that Apple and Williams Electronics had developed the same type of product, but the price was $1,000!

As a result, Apple's stock price plummeted.

Apple hurriedly issued a statement: "The palm handheld computer is a low-end product, and our Apple Newton handheld computer is a high-end product, and the two are differentiated and competent, and the impact is not very great! We believe that after AppleNewton is listed, it will definitely sell well!"

At this time, Williams Electronics has put the palm handheld computer on the Williams Electronics store for sale, and it can also be purchased through Amazon.com and eBay.com.

The PALM handheld computer is lightweight and portable, with simple and practical functions, and has been loved by business people since its launch.

100,000 units were sold in the first month.

As soon as this data was released, Apple was taken by surprise.

, palm is selling so hot?!AppleNewton is expensive, but it won't be bad. So, I quickly ordered the factory to produce AppleNewton, and the order was given, the more the merrier!

An Apple spokesperson told the media: "The palm handheld computer is selling hot, and our Apple Newton handheld computer from Apple will only be more popular!!

Shareholders think, too, Apple's AppleNewton has developed a good multi-function, with touch screen, infrared, handwriting input (even support cursive) function, etc., and there is also a variety of software to assist in the management of personal information, such as Notes, Names, Dates, and other gadgets, such as computers, conversion programs, time zone maps, etc., awesome coaxing, you can completely blow up palm handheld computers, there is no reason why AppleNewton can't sell it!!

Apple's stock price rose sharply for a while.

Many newspapers reported: "Apple is going to rise !!"

On April 1st, Apple officially released AppleNewton.

At the product launch conference, there was a lively mess, and a lot of media reporters came.

And AppleNewton's sales on the same day were as high as more than 4,000 units, which was gratifying. After all, the price is expensive, and you can't take the cheap route like the palm, and the quantity is a little less, which is normal.

So, the reporter rushed to the manuscript that night, and the apple giant stood up again.

Early the next morning, the newspaper was sent out.

However, the next day, AppleNewton sold less than 1,000 units, which swiped the faces of many media newspapers.

By the third day, Apple's Newton sales had dropped again, to only 500 units.

Media reporters, you know, AppleNewton is finished, it can't be sold, only about a hundred!

At first, so many people came to buy AppleNewton, most of them were Apple fans, or they were curious, but the high price made most people stop.

Although AppleNewton has many functions, it is not very useful, and it is much more affordable to buy a palm than AppleNewton.

palm is still selling well, while AppleNewton sells a pitiful amount of less than 100 per day.

Apple's edifice collapsed suddenly, and the stock price fell wildly!
