Chapter 445: The Feverish Media (Medium)

If it weren't for this report in the Wall Street Journal, everyone would not have realized the problem, but when the Wall Street Journal came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and all the media felt a little crazy. Because the latest Forbes list of the world's richest people has not yet come out, everyone does not have an intuitive concept, but when the Wall Street Journal launched this latest report, everyone suddenly realized the problem.

Even Zhang Yang couldn't help but touch his nose when he saw this report, to be honest, Zhang Yang didn't realize this problem, until he saw this report, Zhang Yang suddenly realized that he had actually created the richest man in the world. is not only the richest man in China, Bill Gates in 05 years in his last life how much money he used to be the world's richest man Zhang Yang does not know, but there is definitely not as much as 90 billion US dollars.

As soon as the Wall Street Journal report came out, not only did the domestic media directly reprint all the reports after a short period of silence, but even newspapers in some European and American countries reprinted the Wall Street Journal report, and even some newspapers even used the words Oriental Miracle to describe the incident after reprinting.

In just six months, the world's richest man was born, which can no longer be described as a miracle, this is simply legendary! There is no such history in any history, and the name Li Keqing has become a household name around the world almost all of a sudden. Foreign media and newspapers have much more influence than domestic ones.

After knowing the news, the employees of the Star Group were shocked, even they didn't expect that their boss would become the richest man in the world, before everyone was a little confused, as long as they are engaged in this business, no one has not heard of Bill Gates, in the past, Bill Gates seemed to be quite far away from people in China, but now Bill Gates suddenly feels not so mysterious, there is a richer than him around.

Looking at the time, it seems that there are still more than ten days left before the Forbes World Rich List comes out, Zhang Yang smiled strangely, now it is unknown who wins and who loses between Li Keqing and Bill, but the difference is not big, the main reason is that Zhang Yang's investment in Pujiang Development Zone can only be said to be a hidden investment, and cannot be regarded as real property!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and called Jobs, although it was just morning in the United States, Zhang Yang felt that Jobs had already gotten up. Sure enough, not long after the phone was called, Jobs picked up the phone: "Hey? Mr. Zhang? ”

"Haha, it's me, good morning Mr. Jobs." Zhang Yang immediately laughed twice and said.

"Mr. Zhang, should I say good evening?" Jobs laughed too.

"Okay, let's not dwell on this problem, by the way, I talked about the Apple online store last time, how is it doing now?" Zhang Yang asked quickly.

"Well, now more than 300 companies have joined, and there are more than 10,000 kinds of programs in total." Jobs said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, although it is still a long way from hundreds of thousands of applications later, but this is already a good start.

"Mr. Jobs, I think so, you see we will be released globally on May 1st, I wonder if we can accept online reservations? For example, if you launch some marketing strategies, and the top 10 in terms of order quantity, we will give away a free INE plus an ID? And this INE and ID are limited worldwide, that is, they are different. Zhang Yang quickly opened his mouth and suggested.

"Huh? It's a good idea. However, in this case, it will not be able to maintain enough mystery. Jobs thought about it and said with some surprise, this statement is like a limited edition car sold by those well-known sports cars in the world, but no one really does it on mobile phones, but it doesn't matter, it will be available soon.

"We don't need mystery now, and I tell you Mr. Jobs, I think what we need now is to give some excitement to this hot market." Zhang Yang said quickly.

Jobs thought about it, and then directly agreed with this opinion. Apple's products are notoriously expensive, just like Apple's M3 used to sell for hundreds of dollars a piece. After accepting Zhang Yang's opinion, Jobs said that he would announce the news today.

Zhang Yang did not object, it is very simple to let Li Keqing ascend to the position of the richest man in the world, and Apple's stock can rise sharply. Now Apple's stock has been hovering between 80 and 95, and as long as Apple's stock exceeds $100 per share, then Li Keqing will definitely be the richest man in the world.

Jobs moved far faster than Zhang Yang thought, and it seems that everyone is right to say that Jobs is a workaholic. At ten o'clock in the evening, Apple held a press conference in the United States, in which Jobs not only announced the appearance of Apple's mobile phone, as well as the final appearance effect, etc., but more importantly, Apple released a news that would never be released before.

It will be announced on Apple's website that it will accept pre-orders for Apple mobile phones, and will be among the top 10 pre-orders, and among all the pre-orders, 100 people will be selected to customize their own personal unique INE and ID! You know, whether it's INE or ID, there are only two colors when it's made, black and white!

And the special customization means that this is unique in the world, and there is absolutely no second one! Can this not drive those Apple fans crazy? Although the price of ine announced by Jobs was a bit high, it did not surprise others. In fact, this price is already lower than most people think.

After the first press conference of Apple and Star Group, many media predicted the price of INE and ID, and many media followed the old style, and even guessed the terrifying price of more than $1,000! But the price announced by Jobs far exceeded everyone's expectations!

Although the price of Apple's sale in various countries around the world is different, it is actually not much different abroad, and it is about $599 overall! The price definitely exceeded all expectations. You must know that one of Apple's M3 was sold for more than $700 before, and now the entire mobile phone integrating M3, M4, mobile phones and many other horror functions is actually sold for $599?!

And the price of ID is even more surprising, its price is only $499, which is $100 cheaper than the INE phone! However, Apple's domestic sale price has not yet been announced, but Zhang Yang knows that it will definitely not be as outrageous as in the previous life.

After all, the Star Group is still cooperating with the Ministry of State Security, and the country will also take this into account, and it is estimated that it will sell the Star Group a face at that time. Thinking of this, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered a key point, he immediately picked up the phone and called Chen Xiaowei, no matter what it was now, it was almost early in the morning.

"Hello? Why? Chen Xiaowei's lazy voice came out of the phone. Is that the case right, have negotiations with the Ministry of State Security begun? Zhang Yang asked quickly.

"Well, we have basically started to contact, but the negotiations have not started yet? How? What are the indications? Chen Xiaowei looked at Zhang Yang strangely and asked.

"Price reduction! Give me a hard price reduction, how to make the other party embarrassed, how to reduce it! Zhang Yang said quickly.

"Huh? Boss, I heard you right, you took the wrong medicine, right? Chen Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and then asked incredulously.

"You'll just do what I say and you're done." Zhang Yang said quickly. In the last life, the price gap between domestic and foreign INE was probably close to 2,000 yuan! This is the tariff trouble, as long as the above feels a little embarrassed, let go of the tariff on ine, and everything is back!

"Well, I'm the best at this kind of negotiation." Chen Xiaowei immediately rolled her eyes and said quickly. Zhang Yang was a little speechless, isn't this nonsense, this kind of negotiation is estimated to be good at anyone, desperately sending benefits to the other party, if this kind of negotiation is not easy to negotiate, there will be ghosts. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang immediately opened Apple's website.

At the time of the press conference, Apple's official website had officially opened the reservation channel, and Jobs had already said at the press conference that due to the limitation of initial production capacity, especially the production limit of touch screen, the production number of INE mobile phones and ID per month is only about one million units each.

The order of INE and ID will be distributed according to the order number on the official website. Except for some specific countries, on these news, at the beginning of the press conference, the orders of INE and ID were in the mountains at a terrifying speed, and the ID was okay, but the number of orders for INE mobile phones even almost crashed the system of Apple's official website.

Apple's ordering system can be based on payment reservation and unpaid reservation, as long as you book, even if you do not pay online, you can also choose to pay at the door, but there is a problem, that is, the delivery must first take care of the user who has paid.

This makes many users entangled, after all, Jobs also said, because of the limited production capacity, it is impossible to ensure sufficient supply, so what if the order is ordered, but because there is no payment, it is out of stock? The idea that Zhang Yang came up with can be said to have captured everyone's psychology.

Within an hour of Zhang Yang seeing the press conference end, the number of INE reservations had exceeded 100,000. Although he knew that the launch of such a new concept of mobile phone in this era would cause a sensation that was definitely ahead of his time, Zhang Yang never expected it to be so popular. However, seeing that the reservation far exceeded his expectations, Zhang Yang understood that the person in his arms would probably be the richest man in the world by the end of tomorrow.

After doing all this, Zhang Yang went into the bed and hugged Li Keqing, who was already asleep, to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Yang couldn't wait to open Apple's official website, he wanted to see how many INE Apple had booked out in a day, and when Zhang Yang opened Apple's official website, Zhang Yang was directly dumbfounded!

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Zhang Yang felt a little speechless, and it seemed that he had far underestimated the influence of ine. At the moment, the number of reservations on the official website has exceeded 2 million units! But it's still rising at a terrifying rate.

And Zhang Yang took a look, there are about more than 2.3 million mobile phones in total, only less than 100,000 are unpaid, and the remaining 2.2 million have already been paid! In other words, in one day, Apple already has $1.3 billion in revenue! And these 2.3 million units do not include the number of ID reservations.

Seeing this terrifying number, Zhang Yang subconsciously opened the ggle and searched for Apple's stock, if this predetermined number of stocks does not rise, Zhang Yang will not believe it! When Zhang Yang opened the closing price of Apple's stock, Zhang Yang saw the big market, and he felt that his breath was completely hot.

Dollar! Per share! Apple's total share capital is 930 million shares, which means that Apple's current market capitalization is $128 billion! This means that shareholders who have paid for almost half of their shares have not only recouped their costs, but also doubled their previous shares!

And now it's not any other market value of the Star Group, Li Keqing's net worth has reached $57.6 billion because of Apple's stock! surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world! I am afraid that in ten days, the top of the latest Forbes world's richest list will be replaced by a Chinese name!

Looking at this market value, Zhang Yang was excited, when was it, Zhang Yang had already thought about such a scene, when the world's richest man would also be replaced by us to sit by ourselves, when this scene was really realized, Zhang Yang still had a feeling that it was not very real.

In fact, it's not just the flamboyant excitement that has become completely frenetic in the media around the world. Especially in the media in the United States, when Apple held the latest press conference yesterday, along with the horror of Apple's mobile phone, it was followed by Apple's stock in the stock market as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

By the time the market closed, it had reached around $138! This price made the financial experts who were still questioning whether Apple had taken medicine some time ago and would give up so many shares speechless! None of them are idiots, and of course they understand that although it seems that Apple has given away 45% of its shares, now they have not only earned everything back, but doubled it all!
