Chapter 242: Aftermath (2)
Jobs took off his snow-white overalls and put on a pair of crystal glasses to protect his eyes, and the assistants and staff around him gently put him on a warm wet towel, and a cup of fragrant coffee was placed within his reach.
"Call Thomas." He whispered.
"I'm here. Mr. President. A middle-aged black man stood in front of Jobs.
Jobs didn't raise his eyes, everyone knew that he was not disrespectful to the other party, but he was so tired that he didn't have the strength to open his eyes.
"TOMORROW MORNING, PREPARING FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE, APPLE WILL RELEASE ITS OWN MOBILE PHONE, IPHONE PLAN, AND THIS IS THE END OF THE PLAN."
THOMAS NODDED, THEN SAID HESITANTLY, "PRESIDENT, CAN THE SALE OF THE IPHONE BE POSTPONED?" ”
Jobs opened his bloodshot eyes slightly, and just looking at Thomas made him sweat.
"That's right...... Thomas cleared his throat, "you've been in the R&D room all along, and I've left everything to me, and we've found something very strange and unusual. ”
"Apple stock, all the way down since last year, the whole company has shrunk by almost a third, of course, there are speculative companies buying Apple stock for venture capital, we can understand. But earlier this year, when the fake news of your obituary broke, Apple took a big hit, losing nearly half of its assets, and the few companies that were still eating Apple stock stopped buying Apple stock, with one exception......"
He looked at Jobs' face and continued, "This company is China's Dawn Film and Television Company, and just when fake news appeared, he increased his purchase of Apple shares. It's like ......"
“…… It's like...... Determined that Apple can launch an epoch-making model ......"
Jobs opened his eyes and retracted his massaging hand in due course. He finally spoke in a hoarse voice, with a hint of weariness.
"How many shares does he have?"
"About 470,000 shares ......"
Jobs' hand shook without a trace.
Apple, which fell a hundred dollars last year, fell below a hundred when Jobs' obituary was issued! Compared to the stock that was originally $150 a share, it can be said that it fell below the table.
470,000 shares, compared to tens of millions of Apple shares is not much, but it is also a force that cannot be ignored, and the most important thing is that the other party has so much confidence that they can develop a 3G mobile phone?
In the last life, from 07 to 12, Apple's stock rose by 300%! It rose from $150 to more than $450. Jobs had no doubt that his R&D results would cause such a sensation in the world, and there was no doubt that this sensation was even higher than that of 3D movies. After all, people can not watch movies, but they can't not look at their phones.
HE QUICKLY CALCULATED IN HIS HEART THAT THE AVERAGE STOCK PRICE OF DAWN SHOULD BE ABOUT $100, EVEN IF THE IPHONE RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL COST AND THE STOCK PRICE RISES TO $150, DAWN EARNS FIFTY DOLLARS PER SHARE, WHICH IS A NET PROFIT OF $23.5 MILLION!
Nearly 200 million yuan in earnings!
AND HE BELIEVES THAT THE IMPACT OF THE IPHONE WILL DEFINITELY NOT MAKE APPLE REPLY, AND MAY EVEN DOUBLE!
If it's two hundred dollars, then ......
50 million dollars in profits! Nearly 500 million RMB in feedback!
He gasped, this silent company will reap a net profit of nearly 500 million yuan after tomorrow's press conference!
That's enough to be available in the US!
The most important thing is that at this moment, he must remove all doubts!
Why is the other party so confident? Why did his obituaries come out, forcing him to come out of the laboratory to refute the rumors, and he still couldn't stop falling wildly, and the other party dared to buy it! You know, at that time, the world's five major venture capitalists, A.H, Sequoia, ACCEL, Heguang, etc., all stopped, and only this Chinese company dared to eat?
Could it be that Apple has a traitor?
His gaze quietly swept over the man in front of him, and he said to Thomas, "Tell me about the dawn." ”
"Okay, President. This is a film and television company that has just teamed up with Prada to invest in a film, with Dawn as the producer, distributor, and foreign affairs by Sony...... The Chibi they produced, now with a box office of 1.5 billion in three weeks, is hitting the world's No. 1 box office, and the status of the Titanic is ......"
A flash of surprise flashed in Jobs's eyes: "1.5 billion? Titanic? ”
He smiled suddenly, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen a movie for a long time...... That's kind of interesting......"
However, he was already vigilant in his heart.
Breaking dawn is not scary, but he noticed that the foreign distribution is Sony!
This has to be prevented, Sony's most awesome thing is not film and television, but electronic products!
"Immediately contact the chairman of the dawn, and say that Apple wants to communicate with them, and I believe that our company's name still has this face in the world." After a moment's silence, he said to Thomas.
President...... You don't have to ...... it yourself."
"You say, I listen." JOBS'S RED EYES WERE FIXED ON HIM, "IPHONE, IT MUST BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY!" We can't let Apple's assets continue to shrink! Before the release, any small thing can become a suspicion! ”
When Lin Xiao received this call, he was extremely surprised.
He didn't expect to receive a call from an electronic faucet like Apple!
If you want to compare, Apple is the big six in the film and television industry, and it is a company at the same level as Microsoft! Global predators!
If it weren't for Sony's overseas distribution rights, Jobs probably wouldn't have made this call at all, hundreds of millions of dollars, and Apple didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Mr. Lin, first of all, congratulations on your movie getting such good results, I think I'll go to the theater to watch it when I'm done, hehe, I don't know if I can get a VIP ticket?" Thomas laughed.
"Of course, Apple's senior management is willing to come to the theater, which is the highest honor of Chibi, and we welcome it."
Thomas's smiling voice came from the phone, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lin, I don't know what the relationship between your company and Sony is, I just checked, your company is not affiliated with Sony, a year ago Sony trusted President Stringer took office, and Dawn signed a Dawn cooperation treaty with him, which is the cooperation ...... between the two companies."
Lin Xiao finally understood that the word Sony had aroused Apple's vigilance, and the root of this vigilance came from Dawn pouring the company's strength to sweep Apple stocks.
"We're just a normal partnership."
"Oh?" Thomas smiled, "If it weren't for Sony's analysis, Dawn would have believed Apple so much?" ”
Lin Xiao was just about to explain clearly, but suddenly his mind lit up, and he said with a smile, "We have our own channels, and we know very clearly that Mr. Jobs's 3G mobile phone iPhone should be developed in these two days." ”
"What!?" Thomas's completely irrepressible exclamation rang out from the phone, but in the next second, his voice was gone, replaced by a tired and majestic one.
"Hello, President of Daybreak."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Steve Jobs."
Now, it was Lin Xiao's turn to be surprised, this one, who can be said to be the godfather of the electronics industry, has a status comparable to Cameron in the film and television industry, and from a global perspective, it is even more than a lot, and receiving his call is really something that I can't think of.
"Hello, Mr. Jobs, it's my honor to receive your call, are you feeling better?"
Lin Xiao is very sincere, but this sincerity is not his flattery for the other party's status, but his admiration for an old man who has been facing a terminal illness for nearly ten years.
And on the other side of the phone, everyone at Apple was shocked.
THE IPHONE PLAN IS AN INTERNAL PLAN THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPLEMENTED, AND FEW PEOPLE KNOW THE NAME, NOT TO MENTION THE CORE OF THE 3G MOBILE PHONE, AND NOW, BEING CALLED OUT BY LIN XIAO, HOW NOT TO SHOCK JOBS WHO IS ABOUT TO RELEASE THE IPHONE?
"It's better." Perhaps it was Lin Xiao's respect from the bottom of his heart, and Jobs's voice softened, "Mr. Lin, you don't have to guess Apple's project. ”
HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT LIN XIAO REALLY KNEW THE CORE OF THE IPHONE.
"HEHE, MR. JOBS, THE IPHONE IS EQUIPPED WITH APPLE'S IOS SYSTEM, IT IS THE FIRST SMARTPHONE, IN FEBRUARY, YOU HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE, BUT IT WAS IN RESPONSE TO YOUR FAKE NEWS CRISIS, AND NOW IT IS OFFICIALLY COMPLETED, READY TO GO ON SALE......"
"President!" "Mr. Jobs!"
A series of screams rang out on the other side of the phone, and even Lin Xiao heard many people shouting, "Doctor!" Call the doctor! "Towels! Towels too! ”
It's like before the movie was released, someone suddenly gave everyone spoilers, how to keep the director and screenwriter alive?
"It doesn't matter." After a long time, he heard Jobs' weak voice sound again, and even the system said it, he had no reason not to believe it, this name was only known to a few people involved. THE IPHONE PROJECT IS APPLE'S TOP SECRET!
But what he didn't know was that if Lin Xiao hadn't appeared, this mobile phone would have already begun mass production, and for various reasons, it would have been postponed for a few months now.
"You all go out."
After a minute, Jobs spoke again: "Mr. Lin, if you make any stupid choice, you will face Apple's unsparing suppression!" ”
"I heard that big Hollywood directors have invited you to come to Hollywood? I appreciate this very much, for decades, except for Bruce Lee, no Chinese filmor has really entered Hollywood, and now you have done it, and you didn't break out yourself, but let the big directors invite you over. He smiled, "Believe me, the one delivered to the door is not necessarily good, but if you invite it, they will see it more than their own lives." ”
"Since your focus is on Hollywood, I don't want you to make irrational decisions."
Lin Xiao smiled, just now he just had a flash of inspiration, but now he is sure.
Yes, it's better to invite him than to send it, so I can't say that Apple wants to invite him.
HE KNOWS THAT FROM 07 TO 09, THERE IS ONLY ONE WORD FOR MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD, AND THAT IS IPHONE!
THE SUBSEQUENT IPAD HAS MADE THE CONCEPT OF INTELLIGENCE DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE, AND IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE IPHONE HAS SAVED APPLE, WHICH HAS SUFFERED A GREAT LOSS OF VITALITY IN THE WAR WITH MICROSOFT!
That's why Steve Jobs has become synonymous with Apple! Therefore, his obituary can make Apple's assets shrink significantly!
AND IPHONE, IT HAS DONE A PRETTY AWESOME THING, THAT IS, IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A GLOBAL VIDEO WEBSITE!
IN CHINA, IT IS EQUIPPED WITH YOUKU, AND ABROAD, IT IS YOUTUBE, WHICH DOMINATED EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES AT THAT TIME.
NOW, THERE IS NO YOUTUBE, ONLY THE DAWN! OF COURSE, ONCE IT IS DISCOVERED THAT THE IPHONE CAN CARRY VIDEO, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT ONLY DAWN THAT WILL ACT, WARNER, PARAMOUNT AND OTHER INDEPENDENT VIDEO SITES WILL BE DISPATCHED LIKE SHARKS SMELLING BLOOD!
Once Lin Xiao eats this first bite of cake, then Shuguang's five-nation hegemony in foreign countries is likely to come to an end!
"Mr. Jobs, you are a very respectable old man, and I believe that I have made the right decision." Lin Xiao chuckled, but said solemnly, "I hope to have a cooperation with Apple." ”
Jobs breathed a sigh of relief, but still warily asked, "What cooperation." ”
