readx; At the same time that Shi Lei and the middle and senior managers of the stone group headquarters were celebrating in Shuimu Wuhuai, far behind a window in Silicon Valley, Jobs held a data report and muttered in disbelief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How is that possible? Single, the sales volume is approaching one million? ”

Standing across from him was one of his partners, his most powerful assistant, the Chief Operating Officer, Tim Brown. Cook, he also said with a look of amazement: "This is just the data we can get, and according to the news, we can basically judge that this data is basically true." Moreover, there should be some data that we have not yet counted, and according to estimates, the number of sales they first announced may have exceeded one million. ”

Jobs's face was full of disbelief, and soon turned into a lonely depression: "A million units...... Hehe, I thought our data could finally regain some of the lost market this time, alas...... Who knows that people are stronger. What are our sales quantities today? ”

Cook looked a little embarrassed and whispered, "Less than fifteen thousand, a lot less than yesterday." ”

Jobs sighed again, walked to the window, pushed it open, and greedily breathed in the slightly cool air outside the window.

After a long time, he turned back abruptly: "Is it possible for us to defeat the Stone Group?" ”

"In fact, the meaning of the board of directors has always been that we just need to keep putting pressure on the stone group, and the current results are enough to satisfy the board, and they don't expect too much. Steve, you have always been a genius, but Shi Lei is also a genius. And, you should know that for the word genius, people prefer the younger. Shi Lei's youth is his biggest advantage. And, what the board of directors means is that our main direction has always been the sale of computers, and it's pretty good to be able to get to where we are now. Steve, you should know that when you came back here again ten years ago, it was almost insolvent. And now, our market capitalization is even higher than that of Stone Group......"

Jobs waved his hand decisively, interrupted him, shook his head and said: "Our market value is high because of our financing in the capital market. Do you think that once Shi Lei takes the Stone Group, or just a part of it, to go public for financing, will it be possible for their market value to surpass us in one day? ”

Cook was silent, as the chief operating officer, he was naturally well aware of the power of the capital market. The reason why Stone Group has always insisted on not going public and not raising funds is because they want to maintain their reading power and not be constrained by any capital in terms of technology. In fact, to a certain extent, this actually restricts the development of Stone Group, but as long as Shi Lei decides to go public, then the degree of financing will be better than that of any company. According to the internal report of Apple's board of directors, Stone Group may also have reached the juncture of listing and financing, and a number of internationally renowned consulting companies have analyzed that Stone Group will not be listed on the premise of Shi Lei's insistence on technology, but will be responsible for the research and development and production and sales of digital products Wuxing Technology to read the power of the listing. In addition, major consulting companies and many investment banking companies on Wall Street have conducted rigorous data analysis of the market reaction after the listing of the Stone Group, and most of them believe that if the Stone Group is listed in the United States, its financing ratio will reach a frightening proportion, and the stock price will not be too difficult to break 100 within three months, and even some investment banking experts believe that the stock of the Stone Group may reach a height of $200 at the end of 2007. This means that if Stone Group chooses to go public, their stock will quickly climb eightfold to $200 in less than a year, from the usual $25 or so for listing.

Of course, this is not the mainstream view, the mainstream view is that whether the stone group is listed as a whole or spun off, its share price will reach about $160 by the end of '07. Even so, it's a staggering number.

Apple's current stock price is around $80, and the market value of the entire company is about $70 billion according to the stock price performance, while the market value of the entire Stone Group is about $50 billion, of which the digital industry accounts for about 6% of the sales of the entire group. In this way, the market value of its stock market is estimated to reach about $40 billion in one day, and with the unlisted part, it is really likely to surpass Apple's market value in one day.

"There may be this surname, but I guess it is more normal to reach the same market value as us in about a week."

Jobs was still smiling lonely: "Then according to the analysis of those experts, their stock price will rise to about 100 within three months, and at that time, their total market value will probably exceed 100 billion." Once Shi Lei decides to go public, what he will create will no longer be a myth in the IT industry, and even in the financial world, he will become a myth. ”

Tim? Cook was completely silent, his mood was not so low, like the other members of the board, he was actually quite satisfied with the current state of Apple's operation, but after being influenced by Jobs, it seems that his satisfactory results are not so satisfactory.

"Tim, it's time for you to think about starting a family, and don't always focus all your energy on work. You know, life is not just a struggle for wealth, it has many other components. ”

Jobs waved his hand and turned to leave his office, while Tim, who was born in 1960 but is still unmarried and single because of his workaholic performance, was thinking carefully about Jobs's words. It seems, as if, he really lost a lot of the joy of life because of his work.

Three days later, Jobs finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the iPad sales fell sharply because of the launch of the Rocpad, but it still remained at about 10,000 units per day, and the sales of the Rocpad in addition to a record 1030000 units on the first day, the performance on the second and third days was only 200,000 units, and the total sales of the three days were fixed at 1.5 million units, This is the same as Apple's iPad sales of more than 200,000 units in the first three days are still maintained at about 1:5 to 1:6 market distribution, and considering that the sales of ROCPAD on the first day are too amazing, in fact, in the next days, ROCPAD's sales are not so satisfactory, which somewhat makes Jobs masturbate.

And for such a sales result, Shi Lei also felt a little surprised, he originally thought that after the Rocpad went on sale, after the sales number on the first day exceeded one million, the sales in the first three days should be at least around two million. To this end, he convened a meeting of all the middle and senior managers to find out what was going on.

He Cailan is directly responsible for such a problem, he is the top manager in charge of sales of the Stone Group, but until everyone else has arrived in the conference room and sat down, He Cailan still did not appear.

"Where's the old blue man?" Shi Lei sat in the chairman's position, and did not show dissatisfaction or anger, but asked lightly that He Cailan should have appeared on his left hand side, but now he has not appeared.

"Mr. He is in contact with our largest production line supplier, it seems that there is a problem with their shipments, and the first batch of goods we have sold in the past two days are mainly from our own factories, and none of their goods have reached the hands of retailers so far." Duan Qinglai helped He Cailan explain, and in fact, he and He Cailan did relax their vigilance a little in the past two days, and they didn't pay much attention to the problem of supplier delivery, who would have thought that just when they were most proud, there was such a big loophole on the production line.

Shi Lei nodded, lightly tapped his fingers on the conference table, and patiently waited for He Cailan's arrival.

After about ten minutes, He Cailan was finally late, and as soon as he entered the door, he didn't even have time to walk to his position and sit down, so he hurriedly said to Shi Lei: "Shi Shao, the foundry in Queensland was seized by the quality supervision department because of potential production safety hazards, and all inventory was not allowed out of the warehouse, which led to our disconnection in the retail store." ”

"How did you only get the news now? You've been too excited for the past two days, right? Shi Lei only showed a little anger at this time, but he quickly suppressed himself, he knew that it was useless to choose to be angry at this time, the key was to restore the supply as soon as possible.

"Our largest foundry was shut down, and it was a hidden problem of production safety, which was at least a week ago, which led to the current out-of-stock on the retailer's side. It's good that you guys only found out that something happened to the factory at this time. What was the result of your contact? ”

"The reason why they haven't told us is because this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and there have been cases of being troubled because of production safety issues before. It's just that they didn't stop production a few days ago, they just didn't let them ship, because they felt that the goods sent out before and our inventory were enough for us to cope with a few days, and they believed that after the upper and lower joints were dredged, this kind of problem would be easily solved. But I didn't expect that this time someone seemed to be deliberately targeting them, and after dredging, not only the warehouse still did not allow delivery, but even on the first day, the quality supervision department simply united with the industrial and commercial department and ordered them to stop production. They were also a little panicked and didn't dare to tell us......"

Shi Lei slapped the table suddenly: "Nonsense! They didn't expect our sales to be so good, right? Think a retailer has enough stock to sell for 10 days? Or half a month? What happened to them that the quality supervision department would order them to suspend production? ”

"It was a worker who cut off his wrist some time ago, and the worker ......sued them after his demand for two million in compensation was not met," He Cailan's face was slightly cramped.

Shi Lei didn't believe He Cailan's words at all, and interrupted him bluntly: "Is it inappropriate, or do they really have potential safety hazards?" Now that we have an internal meeting, and we don't have any explanation to the media, how can you believe the nonsense over there, Lao Lan? Shi Lei finally broke out and roared at He Cailan.

The reason why Shi Lei is so angry is because in that life, Foxconn, Apple's largest production line supplier, committed suicide by jumping off a building because of excessive work pressure and low wages of workers. In this life, he has always been cautious in this regard, and can even be described as walking on thin ice, and has been emphasizing that even if the cost increases, it is necessary to ensure the profits of the foundry, and the most important thing is to ensure that the foundry will not put too much pressure on the workers and not cause the same thing in that life.

But who would have thought that he would be so careful that even Shi Lei asked the people on the side of McGao Communications to strengthen the supervision of the foundry in the Queensland High-tech Zone, and there must be no similar safety problems, but he didn't expect that something would happen after all.

"Call Xu Le and tell him that I will go to Queensland immediately, and I told him to keep an eye on the factory, how can there be such a big production accident! What the hell is wrong?! Hum! I think it's Xu Le, they don't supervise properly! After speaking, Shi Lei flicked his sleeves, ignored all the middle and senior managers in the entire conference room, and walked straight out of the conference room.

The conference room was silent, this kind of scene they had never encountered since joining the Stone Group, at least no one had ever seen Shi Lei make such a big fire, especially this fire was actually aimed at He Cailan, everyone knows that since the first company of the Stone Group, Stone Technology, He Cailan has followed Shi Lei, he is one of the few veterans in the company who can compare his qualifications with Jiang Feng, and everyone knows that the sales of the Stone Group, and even half of the country, can be said to be He Cailan's single-handedly beaten back, Especially Shi Lei has a very good personal relationship with him, when he married Ling Meng, Shi Lei directly gave him a mansion worth tens of millions and a famous car Bentley worth tens of millions, and as for the red envelope that Shi Lei packed, no one knows how many, and the outside world is rumored to be at least 50 million. But today, Shi Lei actually made such a big fire at He Cailan, which couldn't help but make these people here feel worried.

However, He Cailan saw the treacherous atmosphere left by Shi Lei in the conference room, shook his head and said: "It's my problem, I'm too carried away, I only care about the sales market, and ignore the supervision of production that Shi Shao has been emphasizing." This matter, even if I had found out earlier that something had happened to the Hyundai factory, it would not have been where it is today. Shi Shao is not blaming me for not handling the problem of sales and supply, he is blaming me for not knowing about this earlier, if we had known earlier, we would have been able to make a better compensation choice than the foundry. With Shi Shao's surname, even if he personally bears the cost of compensation, he will definitely satisfy the worker. Everyone has been following Shi Shao for so many years, don't you know that Shi Shao has always been most concerned about people's problems? Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and get in place, and arrange to go. Shi Shao himself has already gone to Queensland, and we have also sent some people to Queensland to deal with this matter. Mr. Duan, you stay in Wudong and sit in the headquarters, the retailer still needs you to comfort me, and I will also rush to Queensland. ”

Duan Qinglai nodded and said, "Mr. He, hurry up and chase Shi Shao, he shouldn't have gone far yet." I'll arrange it here......" Duan Qinglai was also very uncomfortable, Qin Mubei No. 2 flew to Luohu early in the morning, ready to take over all the matters of the South China Branch, but because it took time to take over and the business also needed to be transferred, it was impossible for Jiang Fengyue to come back immediately, so in the past two days, there was a vacancy in the headquarters, and the burden on Duan Qinglai's shoulders was naturally heavier.

He Cailan immediately chased him out, and when he walked outside the company, he was surprised to see Shi Lei standing at the gate waiting for him.

"Shi Shao......"

Shi Lei waved his hand: "You know why I got so angry, this time it was just a broken hand, and this kind of break, if you were not careful, it would be a human life." You don't know about production safety, and I don't blame you. But as the sales director, the vice president of the company, and the largest foundry, they are responsible for more than 50% of our annual assembly tasks, and you don't know that something happened to them, which is hard for me to forgive. Everyone inevitably has their negligence, but Lao Lan, your negligence is really too big this time. It doesn't matter if the supply is not strong, even if this year because of this incident, I can not blame you for the big decline in our market, but human life is a matter of heaven! I don't want to say these words in front of those people, and they think that I pretend to be compassionate, but, Lao Lan, you know me, and when it comes to personal safety and production pressure, I can't tolerate any mistakes. ”

He Cailan took a deep breath: "Shi Shao, this matter is my problem, even if I pay more attention to the supply over there, I won't fall into such a situation now." ”

Shi Lei sighed: "Forget it, let's go to Queensland first." You go to that factory and tell them that if you can't guarantee safe production, I don't mind finding another supplier! Isn't the profit that Lao Tzu gave them enough? Who else in the industry is higher than the OEM price I gave? earns the hard-earned money earned by the workers working overtime, but they are not even willing to be responsible for the investment in production safety! It's a bastard! As he was talking, Mei Qing also drove the car over, and Shi Lei glanced at He Cailan: "Do you need to go back and get something?" ”

He Cailan shook his head: "I don't need to, I don't have that mind now." ”

"Then get in the car." Shi Lei got into the car first, and after all these years, he finally changed his car, and the Dodge Ram earlier was finally replaced by a GMC business car. This car may not be famous enough, but with a casual price of more than one million, it is definitely second to none in the business car
