Chapter 540: Why
The majority of shareholders never expected that the ipod-mini would sell so well, five times better than expected, no, at least ten times, the early stock is simply not enough, a huge gap! Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Thanks to the booming sales of the iPod, Apple's stock price has been rising, and the company's market value has been soaring.
Yukiko looked at the stack of information in front of her, her face was quite solemn, she didn't expect the simplified version of the mini to be so successful, it was a big explosion, it is conceivable that Soni's space in the North American market will be further squeezed, or even disappear completely.
The form is stronger than the person, and there is really no way, and even the Hijima market has exploded with strong buying enthusiasm.
She couldn't help it, and made a phone call to her sister Hanzi, who took the phone and returned to Professor Memphis's office in a hurry, Memphis was staring at a stack of materials, taking a pen from time to time to record, and after a while, he said, "Hanko, pour me a glass of water." ”
There was no reaction on the other side, Memphis looked up, only to see that she was in a daze, and she was not annoyed, she got up and poured a glass of water, and helped Hanzi pour a glass of water, and laughed softly: "What's the matter? ”
Hanzi reacted at this time, and said embarrassedly: "Check it now, check it out now." ”
"Okay, you can help me make an appointment with Liu Chen, and find him if I have something. ”
Hanzi screamed again, why is it Liu Chen again.
What's wrong with this kid today? Surprised! Memphis was a little weird.
Professor Memphis is about to leave Harvard, because he asked Hanko Morita to ask Liu Chen, and the two are in a small café next to the business school library, although the last lecture at the Sanders Theater has made Liu Chen and Professor Memphis a little famous, but when they came here, there were a lot of classmates, and everyone saw that they didn't react, and they still did their own things.
As a great educator said, it is the important weapon of the country, and every student firmly believes in his own ideas, not blindly worship, and the only thing that needs to be treated with devotion is knowledge.
This point touched Liu Chen very much, as far as the Jianghai University and Harvard University he contacted were concerned, the arrogance of the students of Jianghai University was weaker, and the enthusiasm for celebrities and even celebrities was higher, and very few students dared to question the so-called authority, and blindly obeyed a series of names.
Don't look at Hanzi always looking rude and willful in front of Liu Chen, but in front of the teacher, she behaves very ladylike, obviously she is familiar with Professor Memphis's taste, help him add sugar and milk, Liu Chen glanced at the coffee in front of him, and then at Hanzi, and didn't move, the meaning was obvious.
Hanzi glared at the corner of his eyes very vaguely, but his face was well-behaved and docile.
It can be loaded.
Zack was naturally brought by Liu Chen, this guy has been too tired of Liu Chen recently, so he will follow if he has nothing to do, he also pushed the coffee with a smile, hey, the famous and beautiful school flower service, aren't you happy?
Hanzi just didn't see it, and Zach added sugar and milk to himself.
"Professor, the two-week sales data of the iPod-Mini has come out, and the results are amazing, I'm afraid that Apple and Mr. Jobs didn't expect it to be so popular, what do you think? Why can Apple's iPod dominate?"
Although Liu Chen probably knew that iPod-Mini sales were very hot, he was still greatly shocked and impacted when it came to the end, especially the pursuit of the Chinese market made him feel the same way.
When Hanzi heard this, her ears became proficient, and she listened carefully, she was a genius scholar, almost in instinctive literacy.
Memphis took a sip of his coffee and said slowly, "It's amazing how many iPod sales are skyrocketing, but what's even more amazing is that such amazing sales are coming from fierce competition from competitors' lower-priced products." If when the iPod was first launched, the [ultra-large capacity] characteristics were unmatched, then today's ipods are strong enough to compete with ring feeding, the innovative Zen-Touch, Soni's NW-HDI and VAIO's VGF-API, Dell's DJ and iriver's H300, and so on. ”
"So why?" Liu Chen probably had a feeling, but he didn't say specifically, he wanted to hear Memphis's analysis, which was similar to Yinba's previous dominance in the Chinese market, judging from the ipod's brief entry into the Chinese market, iPod was indeed much more competitive than Yinba, and he wanted to know the reason.
"The products of these companies are not inferior to the iPod in terms of technology, and most of them are even superior to the iPod in terms of hard drive capacity, battery endurance, shock resistance, operational performance, etc., and are cheaper. "Memphis is very professional as soon as he speaks, showing the rigorous demeanor of a scholar, "For example, Soni's products, which are also a powerful brand that have been condensed for decades, have failed in the face of Apple's iPod. ”
Mr. Professor is quite fond of using idioms.
As soon as Hanzi heard the professor talk about her own products, she listened more seriously, and the reason why she eagerly did research with Memphis was to find out what was the reason for Sony's loss to Apple in North America and Yinba's loss to Yinba in China.
"Soni's NW-HDI has a battery endurance of 30 hours, which is much larger than the 12 hours of the ipod-mini, while the ipod's previous products only had 8 hours. ”
Hanzi couldn't help but say: "That is to say, are these people all fools? Can't tell the difference between good and bad? This makes the engineers of Soni Company who have spent countless efforts and strive for excellence in developing products so chilling, they are really not worth it, and consumers are irrational." ”
So far, none of these competitors have had a big impact on iPod sales growth, let alone shake the iPod's position as the king of digital music. Memphis said slowly, "Hanzi, I need to remind you that when doing research, you must stand from an objective and neutral perspective, and don't substitute personal emotions, you are a little impatient." ”
It was considered a mild criticism, Hanzi blushed, lowered his head sincerely, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, professor, I was wrong." ”
The attitude of knowing mistakes and being able to change them simply made Liu Chen impressed with her, this little girl was quick to respond when she was a host, and she was very humble as a student, but she was here with herself, she was willful and rude, no wonder she was so popular at Harvard, and she did have a bit of a demagogic ability, at least pretending to be like something.
"I'm really eager to hear the professor analyze the reasons. Liu Chen said with a smile, anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I think I know why. Zach said suddenly.
