Chapter 134: A Joke About the Goal (6/10 Ask for the First Order)
Wen Ming had seen a news story in his previous life about a professor at a certain university who publicly declared that students who did not have iPads should not attend his lectures.
The ridiculousness of this point of view will not be discussed, except that this news proves the popularity of IAPD in another world.
This is a product that can bring a new user experience, which is what has allowed many manufacturers to follow the trend and launch dozens of tablet products in just one year.
As the iPad promotional video played, most of the impatient journalists present, as well as biologists from all over the world, were attracted to the iPad. The features on the promotional video have already given them a sense of how much this highly portable and easy-to-use tablet can help them in their future work.
At the end of the video, Wen Ming walked to the center of the stage again, holding an iPad in his hand and demonstrating.
He didn't know that Bill Gates thought that his iPad still had a lot of room for design improvement. In other words, his iPad still has a lot of design flaws.
In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he clearly knew what kind of tablet could be considered an all-round PC in Bill Gates's mind.
The Surface series of tablets is the all-round PC in Bill Gates's mind, which can be used like an ipad, and can also be connected to peripherals such as keyboards to become a device similar to a notebook, as well as a stylus for Surface......
And it is the emergence of Surface that has frustrated the sales of Apple's ipad in another world, and many people with related needs tend to choose Surface when choosing tablet devices.
However, does Wen Ming need to be worried?
He didn't, because he knew the Surface's design parameters, and he could have ported those designs to the iPad or, on its own, launched a tablet similar to the Sueface.
He is also confident that he will launch products faster than Microsoft. And it's not like another world where Jobs has been eating his old apples since his death, and he has a lot of fresh ideas, such as the technology from Osborne.
The presentation of the Ipad is over, and it took forty minutes.
When many people thought that the velociraptor was about to debut, Wen Ming started the report meeting, and the main content of the report was the global sales of the iPhone so far.
"It has been 104 days since the iPhone was officially released today."
Wen Ming on stage, with a confident smile on his face, liked the opportunity to let him tell the world about the miracle he had created. This is not just to install X, but also to prepare for Apple's next financing and listing.
Although those capitals have obtained relevant data, many ordinary people do not know about it, and many of the viewers who are watching the press conference now are shareholders.
Shareholders are absolutely weak in the stock market, but if a company wants to make money through listing and create an incredible market value, in addition to the help of those capitals, the most important thing is to make shareholders believe that the company can make money, so it is very valuable.
"And in these 104 days, we sold a total of 23.97 million iPhones around the world."
On the projection screen behind Wen Ming, sales data and Apple's financial statements appeared.
Normally, unlisted companies are not required to disclose their financial statements, so Apple's purpose in doing so is obvious to those capitals.
Among the audience, there were some capitalists who were watching the live broadcast, and they were excited.
"More than $12.3 billion in revenue, to be honest, it scared me."
Wen Ming looked at the audience with a serious face, and the camera also captured his expression at this time.
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to create so much wealth one day, and before that, my goals were small."
Wen Ming said sincerely: "That is, before the age of thirty, earn 1 billion US dollars." However, six days later, I was twenty years old. ”
Theresa Roy, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others in the audience were stunned, not to mention the others.
In the light laughter of the scene, almost all of the 40 million American viewers who watched the live broadcast cursed the American national curse after a half-silence. At the same time, start thinking about how old you are and how much money you have.
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg looked at Teresa Roy at the same time, their eyes were full of doubt, Teresa Roy was speechless, and then, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg looked at the stage.
They looked at Wen Ming's eyes as if they were watching a tease.
Making a joke that would make him more famous, Wen Ming began to look forward to the future of Apple, which was very short.
"I've always thought that changing the world was an empty word, but I've been working towards it."
Wen Ming's voice made the scene completely silent, because everyone had a premonition that the most important part of the day was about to begin.
"Changing the world isn't just about changing the user experience with digital devices, it's about changing the assumptions that are considered impossible and creating things that the world thought were impossible before we did it."
On the projection screen behind Wen Ming, a dinosaur fossil appeared, which was a heavy dragon fossil stored in the American Museum of Natural History, 12 meters long and 5 meters high. Almost all Americans have seen this dinosaur fossil because it has been published in American textbooks.
Everyone in the room, as well as the audience in front of the TV, couldn't help but sit up straight.
At this time, no one wanted to complain about Wen Ming's 'joke' just now, and their eyes were attracted by the picture of the dinosaur fossil.
"Before humans, the absolute king of the earth was the dinosaurs that dominated the earth for more than 150 million years. However, 65 million years ago, for some reason, the dinosaurs became completely extinct. ”
There are several theories about the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, none of which have been proven so far. This shows how shallow human beings are about the planet.
"When I was a kid, I always fantasized about what a living dinosaur would look like. What kind of skin does this dinosaur fossil have on the skeleton, do they have scale armor, how did they grow so big, do they have intelligence, do they eat people......
After a series of questions, Wen Ming said: "Many of my doubts and fantasies have been understood by me through study as I grew up. But one of the most important doubts, or fantasies, has never been confirmed. ”
"That is, can the dinosaurs be resurrected by us?"
"Human genetics is constantly evolving, we are able to clone animals, and IVF. So, if we get a genetic sample of a dinosaur, how far can we go? ”
Wen Ming took a deep breath and said, "Until that day, I learned that Mr. Teresa Roy had collected a piece of amber from 65 million years ago, and there was a mosquito in that piece of amber. I knew that the time had come to validate my fantasies. ”
The picture on the projector turned into a piece of amber, a piece of amber that preserves the prehistoric mosquitoes.
"Thank you, Mr. Teresa Roy, for helping me a lot when I didn't have enough money to do my research."
Wen Ming finished politely, looked at the moving camera, and said: "It is this help of Mr. Teresa Roy that has allowed me to create a miracle, yes, there is no word to describe this achievement except a miracle." ”
"We, resurrected the dinosaurs!"
