Chapter 503: Sold Out in 10 Minutes! (3rd Update)

Cupertino, California, in a conference room at Apple's headquarters.

More than a dozen company executives, led by CEO Cook, are staring at the pre-sale curve displayed on the projection backboard.

"It's only 3 minutes until the release time, so how much traffic does the global official website get now?" Cook frowned, the bright white screen reflected in his glasses could not hide the tension in his expression.

"Gollum!"

Feeling the gaze of dozens of executives in the conference room, the technical director in charge of the broadcast said in a trembling voice while swallowing his saliva: "Global access traffic...... The peak was around 3.2 million...... The trough is less than 500,000 IP visits......"

"What?"

"Only 3.2 million people at the peak?"

"What about the page you visit, is it a sub-page for the payment of the order?" An Apple executive exclaimed.

"No...... No...... The most visited page is focused on the after-sales application ......" The technical director who controls the background data wiped the cold sweat on his head.

β€œhat?!”

"Even if the number of visits is so low, how can it still be concentrated on the after-sales page?"

"Could it be that these customers are ......" Schiller, senior vice president of marketing in charge of sales planning, sensed something was wrong, and the words that had just come out of his mouth were stuck in the middle of his mouth.

As for Levinson, the current chairman of Apple, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, also had a gloomy face at this time, and said as if he could squeeze water out of his eyebrows: "I expected this situation for a long time, but I didn't expect this [Future Technology] to have such a big impact on our 5S mobile phone." ”

"I just don't know how many new machines will be sold when they go on sale. ”

Chairman Levinson's words made more than a dozen company executives present sit on an iceberg.

Several of the executives, even without the appearance of gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, raised their hands and grabbed their waxed hair fiercely, and buried their heads almost on the conference table.

They worked hard to develop the new iBone for nearly a year, but it was actually knocked down by a Chinese mobile phone overnight.

With such a huge psychological gap, no one can stand it!

"There are 3 minutes to go...... What is the number of visits in the Huaguo area now?" CEO Cook had a hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on the projection panel from beginning to end.

"There are only about 50,000 IP visits. The technical director spat out a heartbreaking number.

That's just 50,000 IP traffic!

Even if it's some unknown small website, it's more than this at the end of the day, right?

What's more, like Apple, when it comes to the pre-sale open day, there are at least tens of millions, or even more than 100 million visits!

"Only 50,000?" A look of decline flashed in Cook's eyes, because this Chinese market was the focus of his attention since the death of Qiao's gang leader.

Because according to previous market research, Chinese people have the psychological factor of worshiping Apple.

In addition to the high price of Apple's mobile phones, many so-called Apple fans are breeding everywhere on the soil of China.

Even though the Android Alliance has launched phones with higher performance and better configurations, Apple's iTone sales have always been strong in the Chinese market.

Of course, the pursuit factor is one of them, the most important thing is that many Chinese middlemen, scalpers have been able to make Apple's previous IPONE series popular.

"It's over...... It seems that my position as CEO is not stable...... I just don't know when the board will impeach me......" Cook sat on pins and needles, his eyes fixed on the countdown to the pre-sale displayed on the screen.

Sure enough!

After the countdown is classified as "00S", the pre-sale channel implemented according to the plan will be opened.

The sporadic number of orders stung the nerves of all Apple executives here!

"The sale started for 7 minutes and 10 seconds, and the total shipment was ...... 122,346 units...... And most of them are 16G low-end models......" The technical director trembled, reporting such a performance data.

You know, at the previous pre-sale sites of Apple 4 and Apple 5, nearly 1 million units were sold in the first 10 seconds alone!

Now more than 7 minutes have passed, and only 120,000 units have been shipped?

And according to the icons on the screen, the trend of this curve chart is still sliding all the way down. Can this not make Apple's executives feel cold?

Just 10 minutes after the pre-sale channel opened, there was a knock on the door of the glass door of the conference room, which broke the dull environment of the scene.

"Mr. Cook!"

"The A1 sales data of Future Technology Company has been released...... 10 minutes ...... All 20 million units were sold out in 10 minutes......" a female secretary in uniform broke in with a panicked face.

"What?"

"20 million units sold out in 10 minutes?"

"What is the magic of this [future technology]?"

"F**k! This report card originally belonged to our Apple 5S!"

After hearing this nearly 200-fold sales gap, Apple's executives finally did not calm down. One of the grumpy R&D presidents even pinched the water glass in his hand to crack it.

But that's not all!

When the front desk clerk came to the news that several large shopping malls in North America had canceled purchase orders, the CEOs and vice presidents, including Cook, were not calm.

β€œhat?”

"The channel provider wants to tear up the procurement contract?"

"Why!"

"It's ...... at this critical time"

There was a commotion in the conference room, and when Apple 4 and Apple 5 were released in the early years, the feeling of being alone and seeking defeat in technology that was leading the world in technology had long been thrown into the stinky ditch by these company executives.

On the other hand, the sales center of [Future Technology] is in a sea of joy at the moment.

"It worked!"

"We made it!"

"20 million units in 10 minutes!"

With such an astonishing pre-sale data spreading, not only the employees of [Future Technology] went crazy.

Even those domestic media circles who pay attention to the dynamics of science and technology are boiling together!

"The 10-minute rise of a 100-billion-dollar giant!"

"Development and pre-sale, the future mobile phone will sweep 20 million units in 10 minutes!"

"Defeat the Apple and forge the golden body of the future!"

"The pride of the Chinese people, [Future Technology] will take off from today!"

Countless exaggerated reports have swept the headlines of major media in China.

Boy!

Not to mention Weibo, Baidu's hot search list, even the most authoritative China Television News in China, in the prime-time broadcast at 7 o'clock in the evening, specially set aside 3 minutes to report on the pre-sale site worth 100 billion yuan.

As for the 3-minute "national propaganda blockbuster", it was the news column group of China Television Station, which spent several hours and dispatched more than a dozen departments and nearly 100 news editors to shoot and edit it temporarily.

No way!

It's really been beaten by Apple's technology for too long, and this time [Future Technology] was born, which finally gave the Chinese people a sense of pleasure.
