Chapter 362 Listing

(.) Although the company is a little tight on time for the release of tablets, the preparations are still sufficient.

These things, although not very valuable, are very pleasantly surprised by customers. In particular, the customers who got the gift package couldn't help but try it on the spot. In addition, the store has also opened a free FI function, and the signal basically covers the surrounding area with a radius of 6 meters, which provides great convenience for customers.

Looking at the people who bought tablets with great interest and tried them out in public, the customers who were in the auction team were red-eyed. Moreover, during the trial process, it was found that this tablet was not only as convenient as shown in the commercial, but even added some functions that were not shown in the commercial, which made the customers who bought it let out a burst of surprise shouts.

In particular, the built-in camera of this tablet is clearer than that of a smartphone, and its photo and video software is more convenient to use. A girl quickly understood how to play after fiddling with a few times, holding the tablet with both hands and using it as a camera and a camera to shoot around, it was not enjoyable to shoot for a while, and called her companion to help her play selfie, and then sent it to the WeChat circle of friends who had just downloaded and installed it to show off.

In addition, under the influence of Zhou Liwen, CNGA's Plants vs. Zombies has also been released in advance, which is currently co-owned by CNGA's tower defense game has been installed in the tablet, and when developing the game, CNGA has made the game into a multilingual version, making it easy for users in all countries and regions of the world to get started.

Of course, Zhou Liwen will not be so stupid, according to the experience of later generations, he deliberately asked CNGA to set the version of this game in the tablet as a restricted trial version, that is, only provide a trial of the first few levels, if you want to play to the end, you must buy the serial number in the application software platform store to enter, which can unlock the key to the restricted trial version.

But even so, it didn't take a few minutes for first-time gamers to be fascinated by this new and playable game, not only for young men who liked video games, but also for many girls. Quick hands and feet,Some people who are experienced in the game only took half an hour to hit the last level of the restricted trial version,When the interface prompted that you need to buy a serial number in the application software platform store to officially use the prompt,Customers who were fascinated by this game didn't say a word,Immediately logged in to their own or smartphone user account in the tablet,Use the direct payment function bundled by Alipay to buy the serial number

With the start of the sale at 9:30 o'clock, by the beginning of 10 o'clock, more than half an hour has passed, but the crowd queuing at the door has not decreased, and even because of the influence of those who bought things and ran to the door to try them on the spot, some people who were passing by couldn't help but stop, stood beside those who tried it and looked at it with relish, and asked from time to time about the performance and use of this product and the price.

Affected by the atmosphere of the scene, some passers-by who had the ability but no intention of buying were immediately moved, and soon joined the queue to buy, which increased the popularity and flow of people on the scene. Seeing that more and more people were gathering, the police who maintained order also panicked, and on the one hand, they assigned some manpower to avoid trampling and other accidents in the team, and on the other hand, they worked with the security guards to persuade those customers who had already purchased tablets to leave as soon as possible to evacuate the flow of people.

Looking at the number of people who only increased but did not decrease from a distance, and the customers who were desperately squeezing in and buying things happily and desperately squeezing out of the crowd, Guo Tao, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, had his eyes straightened, and he didn't even pay attention to the cigarette ash burning.

"Crazy, it's crazy......." Guo Tao muttered to himself, with an ecstatic expression in his eyes at the same time, and he couldn't stop laughing as soon as he grabbed Zhou Liwen's arm.

"Brother, I can be considered convinced of you, it is so popular that *** Xiong still sells products, it's just a money grab."

Zhou Liwen seems to be calm on the surface, but he is also ecstatic in his heart, he doesn't even need to go to other stores to see the market to be sure that the big sale of his product has become a foregone conclusion.

Shaking his head, Zhou Liwen smiled: "It's really unexpected, I didn't expect it to become like this." ”

"You say, how much can we earn this time?" Guo Tao is a shareholder of or, of course he is indispensable to make money in the company, and the scene in front of him has completely dispelled his previous concerns, and he couldn't help but ask.

"How do I know that, it's only the first day?" Looking at Guo Tao's golden eyes, Zhou Liwen patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, the promotion expenses invested at the beginning must have been earned, what's the matter, you won't complain about me now, right?" ”

Hearing Zhou Liwen say this, Guo Tao scratched his head and got up embarrassed. Zhou Liwen asked Bill to invest heavily in marketing around the world, Guo Tao had objections from the beginning, not that he didn't agree to advertise and promote anything, but the key is that the investment is too big. At the beginning, Guo Tao was always worried that such a large amount of money would be thrown into it, what if the market was not booming? But now, the facts tell him that Zhou Liwen's decision is the right one.

Smiling embarrassedly, Guo Tao gave Zhou Liwen a thumbs up and said, "You cow, you can do it, I have convinced you." ”

"Hahaha, what to take? It's all your own people, don't say it. This is the way the market is, you still have to rely on shouting for good things, only big investment can have a big return. Look, isn't that the result? By the way, the stock will be listed next month, although I can't estimate how much profit the tablet can bring to the company now, but one thing is certain, with this wind our stock will be on fire, you kid is waiting to get rich. ”

"Must" Guo Tao replied with a straight face, and then laughed.

Due to the time difference, there are some differences in the release time in various places, and in the afternoon, the sales situation on the first day in Europe came back, and here in China, the sales points in Europe are extremely hot, and some specialty stores even almost sold out of stock, and the local person in charge took a lot of effort to transfer the goods from the pre-prepared inventory warehouse to ensure the inventory of the store.

Next, the sales situation in China, Xiangjiang and the Japanese market are also feedback, roughly similar to the situation in Europe, but compared with Europe, China's three major cities of Kyoto, Huhai and Huacheng, plus Xiangjiang and Tokyo, Japan's sales volume has reached a new high, and the stock inventory has decreased sharply.

For this reason, Bill in the United States hurriedly adjusted its strategy to avoid the shortage of supply caused by the hot situation in the European and Asian markets and the sale in the United States. He asked the people below to increase the stocking preparations to various stores and networks overnight, and also personally called Zhou Liwen to ask for an increase in the number of production, so as to avoid the phenomenon of running out of stock in various regions.

Zhou Liwen attaches great importance to the temporary situation. In fact, he saw that he and Guo Tao left at about half past ten in the hotel. Subsequently, the original celebration banquet was canceled, and Guo Tao quickly returned to Huacheng to stare at the foundry to speed up production and shipment, and at the same time called the Heijiang side, so that the Heijiang side tried his best to cooperate, as long as there is a box of goods leaving the factory, it will be immediately sent to the station, airport, and port, and sent to all parts of the world at the fastest speed.

This boom lasted for a whole week, and as the market gradually saturated, sales began to slow down. But even so, the OR company did not dare to slack off, because the amount of online reservation orders is not much worse than the situation in the store, and there is a huge number of products ordered online to be sent out next, and it can not be relieved until all are completed.

Due to the success of the OR company's tablets in the market, the news media in the whole world, especially in the United States, are boiling. After all, OR is currently an American-funded company, and it is also an IT group that is about to go public, according to professionals in the securities industry, there is no doubt that OR's shares are sought after in the market, and no one can say how much the price can rise after the official opening.

In addition, the United States is the base camp of the world's IT industry, and the OR tablet computer has broken the monopoly of the traditional computer industry. With this unprecedented new product, many IT manufacturers have seen the birth of a new hegemon. Just like the birth of Apple computers and IHNR port CFs, the advent of tablet computers has surprised people to find that personal computers are between mobile phones, and a new product makes people see another market with huge potential.

Samsung was the first IT company among all manufacturers to propose to join the development and production of tablets, and then China's Lenovo began to put forward the idea of trying to produce and enter the market for this new product. Next, there are some large and small companies, including professional computer hardware companies and compatible computer companies, such as Dell and AT in the United States, VIA and MSI in the Taiwan Strait, Elsa in Germany, etc., and even Microsoft, the boss in the software industry, has jumped out, claiming to pick up the tablet computer project that was dismounted back then in order to enter this market.

Not only that, but there are also mobile phone manufacturers, such as mobile phone giant Nokia and Japan's Sony and a joint venture with Ericsson. One by one, they also decided to develop tablets to seize this emerging market. In the past two years, the life of the giant Nokia has not been as good as before, with the emergence of OR smartphones, Nokia's original new technology, that is, locked in the safe, was intended to launch new mobile phones on the market one by one The plan has been dealt a major blow. With the gradual replacement of the original 2 mobile phones by smart phones, Nokia is facing huge market pressure, and its market share has been declining from its absolute advantage at the beginning, and now it has even taken away the position of HL, forcing Nokia to speed up the development of smart phones, in order to regain the position of the leading leader.

But I don't know what's going on, Nokia's upper echelons have made a fatal choice in the face of major changes in the mobile phone industry. They still refused to follow the trend and relied on an open software operating platform, but instead went extremely conservative and used the Symbian system developed together with Saipan.

Truth be told, the Symbian system is actually a very good mobile phone system in some ways, it is a real-time, multi-tasking 3-bit operating system, with the advantages of low power consumption, low memory usage, and it has a standardized open platform from the beginning of the design. In this case, there is nothing wrong with Nokia using this system as their smartphone operating system, but the point is that Nokia has made the wrong decision to standardize the application of open platforms.

Contrary to the strategy of OR, Nokia still holds the boss and refuses to open the software platform to application software companies for free, and even charges the other party. So, which software company will work with Nokia? Not only did they not make money from the application software they worked so hard to build on the Symbian system, but they had to pay Nokia money? Isn't this a big injustice? On the contrary, if you develop software for OR company, the other party not only does not charge any fees, but can even help the software company promote it in the software platform store for free, and make an extremely reasonable share plan based on the proportion of software sold. Compared with the two, more and more software companies have abandoned Nokia, and they have all joined the ranks of OR companies.

So, in a good word, ace, Nokia is the representative of this sentence. Even if they plan to change their strategy and enter the tablet market now, they will still fail miserably if they do not solve this critical problem.

With the big sales of tablet computers, OR company has suddenly become the absolute news protagonist in the IT industry, not to mention that it is currently facing the situation that the company's stock is about to be listed. When the news of the success of the tablet market came, the happiest thing was, of course, Wells Fargo, as a collaborator and a wells country that also owns shares, after reaching a share exchange agreement with Zhou Liwen, the company re-made a plan, and the final plan was that the valuation of the company rose from the original $8 billion to $800 million, and the company took out 5% of the spoon shares for market offerings, with a public offering price of $3 per share, 5% of the shares for 100 million 660 million shares, and a total of about $9.9 billion.

This amount has exceeded that of most previous IT companies, and even Cisco's stock was not so fierce at the beginning. According to this ratio, the current total share capital of OR is roughly about -l billion shares, and Zhou Liwen, as the largest shareholder, although he has exchanged shares and partially transferred, still holds about 300 million shares.

In order to push it even more, Wells Fargo announced a press conference for its stake before the stock was listed, which was prepared by Wells Fargo for a long time, and its purpose was actually the same as Zhou Liwen's sale of the tablet to promote the stock price. Although the method is old-fashioned, but the effect is still significant, on the day of the news release, Wells Fargo's stock actually soared, you must know that Wells Fargo's share capital is not comparable to ordinary companies, such a giant stock price can rise so much is simply astonishing. At the same time, it also strengthens investors' confidence in OR companies.

Time flickered, and soon the day of the stock listing came. Zhou Liwen deliberately flew from Shanghai to Xiangjiang and gathered in his villa in Xiangjiang with his friends in China.

In order to watch the market, he also deliberately asked people to pick up a set of equipment in the living room, and used a large screen to display the market in New York, and when the invited people debugged all the equipment and asked Zhou Liwen to see if there were any other problems, Zhou Liwen beckoned everyone who was chatting in the garden to go in and take a look.

"I'm professional enough" Guo Tao was the first to go in, and blurted out after a glance. The living room is indeed professionally furnished, and some of the equipment is not used by ordinary families at all, but extremely professional equipment. The demo is displayed on the large screen hanging on the front, and it is very clear to see.

Pang Yishan glanced at it a few times, and then looked at the sofa that had been set up, as well as the wine and some Yu Guo prepared by the maid, and suddenly he was happy.

"Old Pang, what are you laughing at?" Sha Zihao asked on the side with some incomprehension.

"Look, doesn't it look like a party to watch the World Cup? Projector, sofa, beer, Yu Guo...... Everything is complete, and then there is an opening or something, and everyone can start to guess whether they will win or lose today. ”

As soon as Pang Yishan said this, everyone was happy, indeed as he said, this set of things is overkill, and it is really good to use it to watch the ball.

The debugging personnel demonstrated the operation for Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen nodded after reading it, and then asked everyone if they had any other questions, everyone was very satisfied, and let the debugging personnel leave. Then, they sat down on the sofa, drank wine and smoked cigarettes, chatted about recent interesting things, and of course, inseparable from the stocks that were about to go public, while patiently waiting for the arrival of the listing time in the United States.

The night was getting deeper, but everyone was not sleepy, and when the time came, the stock market in New York finally opened. The numbers that had been standing still began to beat, and everyone stared intently at the screen in front of them.

In just half a second, the symbol representing the OR stock suddenly turned green (the United States is different from China, green means rising), and from the beginning of the market, the stock price of the OR company has jumped to the position of $9, which means that it has risen about % from the stock price of $3, just when everyone is happy, the stock price and the wild horse continue to rush up, and in just five minutes, the stock price has changed from $9 to 5. $6, its rise is so large and the ferocity of the momentum is jaw-dropping.

(Asking for votes, all kinds of requests)
