Chapter 556: Jobs' Speech

September.

Apple has completed the distribution of iPhones at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and hundreds of thousands of mobile phones have appeared in stores, counters, and telecom operators around the world.

For this, Apple paid more than $60 million in fees, and the payment of this fee made Apple's stock, which had just recovered because of Jobs' return to Apple, immediately suffered a heavy blow, falling by more than 20%, and Apple's shareholders continued to attack Jobs, demanding that Jobs withdraw the release of the iPhone.

But because Li Lin has always supported Jobs, and the two of them have more than 50% of Apple's shares, the voices of these shareholders are destined to be ignored by the two like mosquitoes.

"Lee."

Jobs gave Li Lin a hug fiercely, and an abnormal blood-red color appeared on his withered face, "This time, we must not fail." ”

If they fail, they will be doomed.

Jobs will lose his apple, and Li Lin will lose his gold group.

Neither of them, can afford to lose.

Not only can't you lose, but you have to win beautifully.

If the annual sales of the iPhone cannot exceed one million, then it is impossible for Apple stock to return to its previous price, and if Apple's stock does not return to its previous price, Li Lin will lose his Apple stock and the gold medal group because he cannot repay the loan from Wells Fargo.

Of course, he can choose to sell Apple shares, but there is no takeover, and such a large-scale sale of Apple shares will only drive Apple shares into the abyss.

Second, will he make a move?

Apple stock is a 100% profitable business. As long as Li Lin didn't fan his butterfly wings and fan Jobs to death, then Apple's stock was destined to rise, and even if he slapped Jobs to death. With the iPhone that has already completed the design and distribution, it is not difficult for Apple to return to the top position.

"We're not going to fail." Li Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, Lee, you have more confidence in the iPhone than I do." A bright smile appeared on Jobs' face, "So I don't know if you are willing to be the spokesperson of Iphone?" ”

"Me?"

Li Lin was suddenly hit by a pie, and his whole body was dizzy, "Why?" ”

"You're a shareholder in Apple. Do you need to ask why to support your own products? Jobs smiled: "Of course, although I am a shareholder of the company, I should give a lot of endorsement fees." So you don't have to worry about Apple being stingy. ”

Worried about Apple being stingy?

No!

Li Lin was not worried at all.

In later generations, the world's most tycoon is about Apple, Apple's annual profits have been beating the world for many years, that is, oil companies can be comparable to Apple.

And does he need Apple's endorsement fee?

No!

He doesn't need it at all.

What is Iphone? It was an epoch-making work that ushered in the era of smartphones. Give it a spokesperson. There are many things that the king and queen can't grab if they want to.

In later generations, as long as Apple opened its mouth and needed a spokesperson, the world's superstars immediately heard the news.

For what? Money? Of course they need money, but what they value more is Apple's influence, and if you think about it, your wallpaper is seen by hundreds of millions of Apple fans around the world, which in itself is a huge publicity.

Unfortunately, Apple has never had a spokesperson.

If you insist on saying yes. Then Apple's spokesperson is Steve Jobs.

Later, when Jobs died, he saw the madness of fruit fans, which was no less than the madness of MJ's death.

Li Lin became Apple's spokesperson. It immediately became popular all over the world, and its influence radiated from the three circles of film and television songs, radiating mobile phone users around the world.

As long as you are a user of an Apple mobile phone, you will know that the popularity has spread out all of a sudden.

And becoming Apple's spokesperson, it means that he has officially stepped into the global endorsement market, and since then he has an international net worth, as long as he gets rid of the bad influence brought by the water color years and the endorsement of Wanbao Baobao, then the global luxury giant will seriously consider the possibility of him to endorse his products.

In the eager eyes of reporters, Jobs and Li Lin appeared one after another, and as soon as they appeared, they caused exclamations from the reporters below.

"Jobs is here."

"It's Li Lin."

"How did he come here, could it be that he is the face of Apple's upcoming iPhone? Oh no, it would be terrible if that were the case, endorsing a doomed phone like the Iphone, what the hell is in his head. ”

"Maybe Apple gave him enough endorsement money to make him take the risk, maybe he is now praying for God's blessing and blessing that the iPhone can sell well."

"The iPhone is a big seller? I can't figure out how a clumsy, stupid, keyboardless phone can sell well and want to sell unless God himself sends a decree for his believers to buy an Iphone, but is this possible? ”

"Of course not."

"A lot of people don't like our Iphone, they come to see us for jokes." A hint of vague anger appeared on Jobs' withered face.

"But they're going to keep their mouths shut soon, aren't they?"

Li Lin lowered his voice, "When every epoch-making work comes out, many people criticize it, but when they see the madness of the Iphone, they will shut up and turn to praise our works, which is the common feature of journalists." ”

"I hope that the Iphone will be an epoch-making work as you say!" After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, in the midst of endless criticism, he, the designer of the Iphone, actually flinched, but it was Li Lin, a layman, who was constantly cheering and cheering, firmly believing that the iPhone was an epoch-making work.

"Jobs, you can only succeed."

Stride Jobs strode up to the podium, "on April 1, 1976. A tiny apple was born in the United States. ”

On stage, the big screen appeared Steve Jobs and his partner Steve Jobs. Wozniak and Rowe. A photo of Wayne when he was younger.

At that time, the three of them hugged each other, and their faces were full of youthful smiles.

"But it's a pity."

Li Lin sighed.

The current apple is no longer the apple of the three. With the injection of capital, more and more investors are focusing on Apple, and in such a situation, it is difficult for Apple to maintain its initial independence.

Just like now, his stake in Apple has long surpassed Steve Jobs, he is Apple's largest shareholder, and he only needs to buy 5% of Apple's shares. He can control the apples.

With only a 29 percent stake, he could even bring Apple, a promising company, under the umbrella of his Gold Group, making him one of his subsidiaries.

"At the time. Apple is committed to the sale of personal computers. Jobs smiled, "In 1977, we introduced the Apple II at the first WestCoast Computer Fair, and the Apple II became the first personal computer in human history. For the first time, it has an architecture for outputting mono sound. Make the personal computer no longer dumb. ”

The big screen behind Jobs appeared in the form of an Apple II.

What may seem stupid and clumsy now, the Apple II was synonymous with high technology at the time.

It sold millions of units like crazy, laying the foundation for Apple's rise.

"On January 24, 1984, the Apple Macintosh was released, which was equipped with a new revolutionary operating system, which became a milestone in the history of the computer industry."

Behind Jobs, the big screen appeared with the figure of the Apple Macintosh.

On October 23, 2001, Apple launched the iPod digital music player with great success, with its exclusive iTunes network paid music download system. Become the world's largest digital music player. ”

Behind Jobs, an iPod digital music player appeared on the big screen.

He did not mention anything after 1984 or before 2001.

Because it was the age of Jobs' shame.

He was driven away.

Leaving from the company he created and brought into the brilliant company with him, and after he left. The Apple company he led to glory gradually declined.

It's a pain.

It's the reverse scale.

The reporters present did not debunk his idea of reverse scales, because in Jobs's eyes, Apple's greatness had been slowly revealed, and the memories in the hearts of reporters were also awakened by him.

The reporter below has vaguely understood Jobs' idea of talking about Apple's success in the past generations at this press conference, and he wants to tell all consumers that Apple has always been at the forefront of high-tech and fashion.

If there is no Apple, there is no personal computer; If there is no Apple, there is no graphical interface system; If there is no Apple, there is no office software.

Apple has created so many firsts, and at this time, it will enter the mobile phone market in a big way, and it will definitely bring about a historic change, and this change is Iphone.

The reporters below also have to admit that Jobs's strategy has been successful, and their idea that the iPhone is stupid and clumsy has been shaken, and instead Apple has created so many firsts and achieved so many epoch-making technologies, why can't the iPhone be epoch-making?

In the past, there were no personal computers, and Apple created zĂ o; In the past, there was no graphical interface system, and Apple created zĂ o; In the past, there was no office software, and Apple created zĂ o.

So now, there is no mobile phone without a keyboard, and Apple has come to create zĂ o.

Jobs's speech directly emptied the established impression created by many experts and replaced it with the impression that Apple will create a miracle.

Don't underestimate these impressions.

With these impressions, reporters inevitably tend to Apple when reporting, and their tendencies will affect many people, and the impact on the iPhone is also immeasurable.

In the midst of a string of glories, Jobs finally brought the protagonist of today.

"It's the Iphone."

"A technology product that combines the functions of an iPod and a mobile phone. It is also an internet tool and mobile computer. ”

"We have reason to believe that it will raise the curtain of an era in which the iPhone is the king of kings...... (To be continued......)

PS: I didn't find the Chinese version of Jobs' speech, so I wrote some by myself, so let's make do with it!
