Chapter 181: Hypocrisy

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The mysterious iPod 7 was finally officially released the day before Christmas, with a delicate design, a novel and sensitive full touch screen, and convenient operation, which instantly left all opponents behind. With 3,078,100 units on the first day of sale, 4,281,700 units on the second day, and 4,520,800 units on the third day, the iPod 7 shipped three times as many as the second to tenth places combined, as HH advertised, this product will end the competition in this field.

The young people queuing up in front of the stores and counters of the best buy in major cities around the world only think that the iPod7 is worthy of the end of the digital music player in the publicity, but some people with a little vision seem to see the prototype of the iPhone.

As for whether the veiled iPhone can lead the new trend, it is a matter of wisdom for the wise, but no one thinks that the upcoming iPhone of HH company can be compared with brands such as Nokia and Ericsson, and even the president of Nokia North America joked: "The great A Ming will definitely provide consumers with a work of art." ’

The subtext is that the iPhone may be beautiful, but it will certainly not have good practicality, and a company that has never designed and produced a mobile phone can give consumers a practical mobile phone?

Not only are the opponents not optimistic, but even the fourth brother and Lao Guo who spent Christmas with him are not optimistic, the success of the iPod is because there were no strong opponents on the market at that time, and how fierce is the competition in the mobile phone industry? A few years ago, Motorola's mobile phone was so good-looking that it became Nokia's world in a blink of an eye, although it looked a little ugly, it was durable, the standby time was long, and it didn't matter if it fell to the ground.

"Jiaming, do you have 30 million sales?"

Are you kidding? Because the plan was too far ahead, the company invested more than $3 billion in the iPhone project, starting with the basic hardware. It took eight years, except for the chips!

Eight years of research and development, decided that the core technology of the iPhone is in their own hands, everyone finally came to the eve of the harvest, Li Jiaming, who was happy, said proudly: "Must, our minimum goal is to sell 60 million per year!" ”

The old Guo Hehe, who was drinking the glass bottle of Site wine from 20 years ago, reminded him: "I'm asking ipod7".

'Dangdang', Li Jiaming, who deliberately dragged this guy to join in the fun, knocked the plate with chopsticks, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Be careful, drink my wine, and don't say something auspicious?" ”

"Cut, you gave it to Professor Li, that's Professor Li's, can it still be considered your wine?"

"Shut up", Qiao Qiao, who was facing the TV, grabbed a sentence and turned on the sound a little louder with the remote control. The three of them turned their heads to see that ABC's interview with Kyle was playing on TV, and the old boy was beaming, swearing that the era of "Nokia" was about to pass, and the future would be the future of the iPhone.

β€œfiftymillion! iPhone sales are at least fifty million, and if I don't meet this sales target, I will resign from the board! ”

50 million?

Although they knew that this was propaganda, several people who were eating and drinking were still startled. Although iPod sales exceeded 10 million in three days, only Nokia can reach this sales in the field of mobile phones, right?

That is a king, Li Jiaming, who is bent on pulling the other party off the throne, also praised: "The global sales of Nokia 1110 as of yesterday were 210 million units, and 75,018,200 units have been sold this year." ”

"So you mean 50 million sales are not high?"

It's already high, and the myth of Nokia may not be there anymore. Li Jiaming doesn't want to talk about this kind of topic anymore, because the disparity in wealth can mutate the relationship between people. But Lao Guo likes to comfort people very much, and thought that he had dampened the interest of his old friend, and comforted him: "It's not bad, it's 25 million units at a discount, plus your ipod7, can the annual sales be 15 billion?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Lao Guo realized something, and Qiao Qiao, who realized it later, also looked at the little uncle in shock. I usually laugh with the guys, but I realized that this kid has become the richest Chinese overnight!

The iPod 7 costs $119 per unit, 60 million units is $7.2 billion, and 25 million phones cost at least $5 billion. High-tech electronic products are highly profitable, how much money does HH company have to make a year?

At this time, you have to be calm and not modest, otherwise the sense of distance between friends and family will come out. Being in a foreign country, if even family and old friends look up to you, it will be difficult to find someone to talk to in the future.

"Regret it, huh? Last time, I said that I would send you and Lao Yang a villa, and I didn't want to be hypocritical, that money couldn't even compare with hair in the eyes of today's genius! ”

Li Jiaming's worries were not unreasonable, but he also underestimated the open-minded Lao Guo, this guy was slightly stunned and then mocked: "Fart, you have at least 6 million hairs on your body!" ”

1 million * 6 million, it seems that you can't use sweat and hair as a metaphor, but Li Jiaming argued: "I haven't learned Chinese, right? Don't know any idioms? ”

"Are you a cow?"

"That's an exaggeration, you shouldn't have gotten into Tsinghua University, right?"

"Are you a liberal arts student?"

Fortunately, to be able to laugh and scold the richest man so much, his own luck, Li Jiaming simply admitted defeat, "Okay, okay, am I wrong?" The one who is close to the ink is black, you are also as poisonous as Lao Yang, beware of the hell of pulling out your tongue in the future! ”

"Is there one?"

Qiao Qiao, who had a big belly, nodded again and again, and agreed: "Lao Guo, you speak very much like Fenhua now." ”

"Gotta change, gotta change".

Saying this, Lao Guo was also curious: "Jiaming, so your company doesn't make billions a year?" ”

Honest and honest to make money, and to be a fair and honest person, Li Jiaming doesn't mind talking about the company's profitability at all.

"It's okay, this year's profit is 1.041 billion, and it should reach about 12 billion next year, mainly because the expenses are too large."

1200% increase? Lao Guo was surprised, and even the fourth brother who didn't care about foreign things was surprised. A profit of 12 billion is hundreds of billions of RMB, and this guy's shareholding is so high, isn't that a year to earn five or six billion?

After being stunned for a while, the open-minded old Guo Cai was curious: "Is your iPhone so powerful?" ”

Eight years of sharpening a sword, of course, the name moves the world, since the old friend is so generous, Li Jiaming also said proudly: "Epoch-making, what do you say?" ”

"You're amazing, no wonder Fenhua said that your kid is not human at all!"

How do you say that?

However, Li Jiaming did not ridicule each other, but sighed: "Lao Guo, you may not believe it, when you first embarked on this project, it was pure gambling. For eight years, I swallowed up all the profits of my iPod, and I kept taking out mortgages, and I couldn't stop if I wanted to. Just like Senior Wang told me at the beginning, the rat pedals on the bicycle, the faster it pedals, the faster it can't stop, and it can only be put in the air. ”

This is too hypocritical, Lao Guo laughed and said: "Jiaming, aren't you looking for success now?" ”

It's really hypocritical, last night at Kyle's house for dinner, the two were drunk, Li Jiaming also made an exception to sleep at someone's house for one night, but at this time be modest.

Although Lao Guo is open-minded, he still has the basic humanity of envy, and if he is not allowed to see that he is stronger than himself, the friendship between the two sides will still mutate. Don't talk about Lao Guo, the fairy-like fourth brother is the same, saying that he is a fairy is actually a human being, as long as he is a human being, he will be envious and jealous, these are basic human nature.

Picking up the glass wine bottle on the oak dining table, Li Jiaming, who was actually very happy in his heart, poured half a glass for Lao Guo Manshang and the fourth brother, and poured half a glass himself, and sighed: "Lao Guo, to put it mildly, sometimes I think that you and my fourth brother are actually the happiest."

Money doesn't seem to be of much use other than giving people a sense of accomplishment. Lao Zhang: They like to soak a girl and smoke a cigar, and I can't seem to be excited about anything. If possible, I'd rather go back to school and teach. ”

The three people at the table are all academics who are obsessed with academics, and it is easy to be fooled by Li Jiaming, who is usually not pretentious, and they have also remembered the dissatisfaction of the guys. Don't look at this kid's studies and career, but he is emotionally defeated. In this way, it is actually pitiful, standing at the peak of life, but no one shares the joy of success with him, and he has to run to others for a holiday, and he has to pull Lao Guo to the picture to be lively.
