Chapter 525: Starry Sky (1)

"Hello journalists, I don't know how many times Star Group has held a press conference, but I still want to thank all journalists for coming." Li Keqing stood on the rostrum with a smile, today's press conference was opened directly by Li Keqing, because today's press conference may represent a change in the world industry in the future, so it is better for Li Keqing to announce it in person at this moment.

Looking at the flash below, Li Keqing smiled and paused: "I believe everyone wonders why Star Group and Apple will jointly hold this press conference again, today I am here to tell you that the reason why Apple and Star Group are standing here again today is because Apple Co., Ltd. will officially reach a new cooperation agreement with Star Group, one of the themes of today's press conference is, Apple AG will officially release the second generation of the iPhone series, which will officially go on sale on January 1, 2006."

"Boom", with Li Keqing's announcement, the venue below immediately became hot as if it had been thrown into a gasoline bomb, and all the reporters pressed the shutter in their hands with some incredible madness. Because everyone knows that the iPhone series is now very hot, quite hot, so although there is gossip that Apple is developing the second generation of the iPhone, everyone predicts that the iPhone 2 will not be on sale until at least 2 or even three years later, because now the iPhone is almost a monopoly position, and such a huge profit is naturally not in a hurry to develop new products.

Because the current iphone1 still has considerable profit margins to do, but all reporters and analysts did not expect that Apple actually went against the norm and went the opposite way, so soon proposed to release the iphone2, although the sale time is far away, but since it is on sale now, it means that the iphone2 generation has had some technical breakthroughs, otherwise, there will be no such situation.

"Second, the restructuring of Star Heavy Industry has been completed, and it will be submitted to the Hong Kong stock market for review and application for listing within a certain period of time" Li Keqing announced the second news, and all the reporters were even more in an uproar, and everyone recorded something in their own small books or notebooks.

"Thirdly, about the main products of the Star Group, there will be a special introduction in a while, and all of your lives may be closely related to the products of the Star Group in the future. Next, I would like to ask Mr. Jobs to demonstrate the products of the iPhone 2 generation. Li Keqing didn't explain, but left enough suspense.

Although the reporters below are very anxious, they are used to it, which time did the press conference of the Star Group not leave the suspense to the end? Although everyone thinks it's incredible, and thinks that Apple is undoubtedly squeezing the sales ability of its own products by doing this, and it will even backfire, at least now many users have just bought iphone1, and you quit iphone2, isn't this clear that the previous users have opinions?

“…… Thank you for your participation, now I announce several decisions on behalf of Apple, first, on the issue of iPhone 1 sales, Apple will continue to sell iPhone 1 in the next few months, but iPhone 1 production will decline year-on-year, our entire production force will be concentrated on iPhone 2, in addition, all users who buy iPhone 1 can wait until January 1, 2006 to depreciate 5 percent to 7 percent of the price of the iPhone 2 generation. "Jobs came up and threw a bomb.

The reporters below were immediately in an uproar, exchange? No one expected Apple to make such a decision, after all, this decision will mean that Apple may recycle tens of millions of iPhone1, what to do with so many ninety percent of new machines? Because of the high price of the iPhone series, everyone must be extremely careful when using it, so that by the end of the year, that is, in seven or eight months, the iPhone 1 generation of mobile phones will still be very new.

How will Apple deal with so many long-term mobile phones? "Below I will introduce to you the main performance of the iPhone 2 and the changes." Jobs didn't say the main reform problem, but quickly introduced the performance problem of the iphone2 generation, in fact, the difference between iphone2 and 1 is really small, because the time gap between them is too small, less than a year, but the progress of hardware is certain, most of the hardware has been improved in a small part, the main improvement is to increase the pixels of the camera.

Now the main camera pixels of the iPhone have increased to 5 million and 500,000, and the pixels of the front camera are 500,000, these two numbers have been greatly improved compared with the previous generation, you must know that this number has been similar to the price of the iPhone4 in the previous life, in this era, this price is quite expensive.

But on the whole,In addition to the improvement of the camera,There are really not a lot of improvements in other aspects,The other thing that has been improved is some of the main software functions,Compared with the lack of Apple's online store at the beginning of the iphone1,In just a few months,With the popularity of the iphone in the world,At present, the number of software in the Apple online store is rising at a terrifying rate。

As Jobs' explanation was finished, countless reporters below immediately raised their arms, and soon Jobs directly ordered a reporter. "Mr. Jobs, in the eyes of the outside world, Apple will not launch the second generation of the iPhone so soon, but Apple's decision is surprising, what is the main reason why Mr. Jobs launched the second generation of the iPhone?"

"The main reason is, of course, that our technology has innovated, and this innovation is quite large, and if we continue to sell the iPhone 1, more users will lose by then, so we made this decision." Jobs replied with a smile.

"May I ask Mr. Jobs, your company's announcement of the launch of the iPhone 2 generation will inevitably affect the current iPhone 1 sales, as we all know, Apple's stock has been a standout in the US stock market for the past period of time, may I ask Mr. Jobs, are you ready for your company's stock to fall." A reporter from a China Daily quickly stood up and asked.

"Hehe, I believe in the eyes of shareholders, and I believe that after today's press conference, Apple's stock will not only not fall, but will rise again, if Star Group is not listed, I believe that Apple Group is not far from the throne of the world's number one company." Jobs replied confidently.

Jobs's words immediately made the following reporters set off waves again, everyone knows that the press conference of the Star Group means big news, so countless foreign media directly chose to broadcast live, because of the particularity of the country, only a few domestic TV stations chose to broadcast live.

And Jobs's words also directly followed the computer to the ears of users all over the world, and everyone's curiosity was seduced at once, because it is obvious, if you only look at the data of the iphone2 released now, although the performance of the iphone1 has improved a lot, but this is not enough to become the reason for users to buy crazy 2, but users will be blocked because of Apple's rapid upgrading, which has a big problem for iphone sales, And many potential users will start to hesitate.

Unless Apple will give a reason that everyone can accept, a reason why everyone will not only be convinced, but will be more crazy to take out their wallets, if not to come up with this reason, then it will be a failure for Apple, because Apple's stock and products are already quite crazy right now.

But now many people have ignored this problem for the time being, at this moment countless experts are directly frightened by Jobs's rhetoric, after all, although Microsoft once won the world's first, but that is because of the impact of the economic crisis, the market value of those industrial giants has been greatly affected, but now Apple is still a lot of distance from the throne of the world's first company, Apple dares to shout this slogan, it is obvious that Jobs has enough confidence.

However, more people are interested in Jobs's sentence that if the Star Group is not listed, the Apple Group will not be far from the throne of the world's No. 1 company, which means that if the Star Group is listed, Apple will not get the world's No. 1 company? Although the Star Group now owns almost half of Apple's shares, the other half of Apple's market value is also a huge number, and the other industries of the Star Group, including the newly acquired Star Heavy Industries, and the Star Industrial Park, etc., are all counted, and they are only four or five billion US dollars.

There is still a big gap behind this, how will such a big gap be made up?

Seeing that there were still reporters asking questions, Jobs clicked another reporter to stand up, "Mr. Jobs, I am a reporter from Science and Technology Daily, I want to ask Mr. Jobs, as we all know, now the battery life of the iPhone series has become the biggest shortcoming of the iPhone series, although the iPhone2 looks beautiful, but these performance improvements and the addition of many software features, there is no doubt that these will be big power consumers, so how does Apple solve this problem?" After all, no matter how good things are, they can't be used for a long time, and they can only be chicken ribs. This middle-aged reporter's question directly made the following group of reporters burst into applause.

And the applause was accompanied by countless flashing lights, and it was clear that this reporter's question captured everyone's hearts at once. Even Zhang Yang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that anyone could really see this problem, it seems that these reporters are not vegetarians.

"Hehe, on this question, I would like to ask Miss Luo Tianshuluo, CEO of Star Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of Star Group, to give you a brief answer." Even Jobs smiled unexpectedly, and he directly threw this question to Luo Tianshu, who was the next to appear.
