Boston, as Apple's current home base, is naturally the largest in the United States in terms of the scale of Apple's experience stores.

In addition to an Apple Experience Store in Boston's busiest neighborhood, there is also one in Boston's Cambridge Township, which caters to students from several nearby universities.

Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, just the students of these three universities can bring a lot of sales to Apple's mobile phones. What's more, through the students of these three universities, the reputation of the first-generation iPhone can be spread very smoothly.

Wen Ming didn't do any research today, and after the official launch of the iPhone, he can relax a little bit. Of course, after the sales of the iPhone are assured, he will devote himself to another project, the 'resurrection' of the dinosaur that will save his life.

Driving the Bentley, which is only 150 kilometers long, Wen Ming took James to the Apple Experience Store in Cambridge Town.

"I said, are you driving a little too slowly?"

James sat in the passenger seat and said very awkwardly: "Do you know how much horsepower this Bentley Mulsanne has?" ”

Wen Ming unhurriedly let go of a taxi that wanted to overtake, and said with a smile: "How much horsepower it has, does it have anything to do with how fast I drive?" ”

James watched another car pass by on the left and felt very uncomfortable.

"Wen Ming, I really doubt many times, are you really only 19 years old this year?" James pouted and said, "When young people drive this kind of luxury car, shouldn't the purpose be to pursue speed?" ”

Wen Ming replied with a smile: "If you pursue speed, this Bentley Mulsanne is not suitable, and the speed should be on the race track or on an intercontinental highway with sparse traffic, not on the road in the city." ”

James shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject and said: "The number of pre-orders for the iPhone in the United States has exceeded 300,000, according to the analysis of the marketing department, on the first day of our official sale, the sales volume can reach at least 500,000 units, and we can't sell it in a few days in terms of the current supply." ”

During the one-month preparation period, Wenming could only get 1 million iphones, and 500,000 of these 1 million iphones needed to be handed over to ATT.

In other words, there are only 500,000 iPhones in stock in Apple experience stores across the United States, and thousands of them will be used for customer experience, which means that they will never be sold.

When Wen Ming was still 5 seconds away from the intersection, he turned on his turn signal in advance.

"Then we can only continue to let users continue to order."

At this time, there is still one day before the official release of the iPhone, that is, today, the Foxconn factory began to supply Apple with an assembly rate of 150,000 iPhones per day.

So far, no one can guarantee that Apple will be able to sell 150,000 iPhones a day after the first day of 500,000 units.

But even so, the iPhone is not enough to sell. Because even if Foxconn produces an iPhone, it is impossible to send it to the United States on the same day, because Foxconn's factories are all in China, and the time required to ship from China to the United States cannot be based on the speed of a plane.

Because it involves customs, even if ordinary people go from one country to another, they need passports and visas and other procedures, not to mention so many goods?

"In addition to that, there are also big problems with supply in other countries because we have 9 million iPhones at the moment, and it's going to take two months to get them out," James said. But now, agents in many countries have been guarding our company. ”

Wen Ming laughed happily, he was really happy, a few days ago, agents in other countries were still arrogantly clamoring for what to pay for replenishment, but now, at the end of Apple's first product launch, when the pre-order volume in the United States reached 300,000 units in two days, those agents couldn't sit still.

The U.S. market has always been the market vane of many countries, a smartphone product has not yet been officially launched, has already got 300,000 pre-orders, and, so far the iPhone has shown excellence, but also let those agents feel that this mobile phone will have a good market guarantee.

It seems that the total number of 10 million is a lot, but there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and the population of the United States is only 300 million, while the global population has exceeded 7 billion.

On the premise that it is not enough, there is still a two-month supply cycle, and at this time, it is equivalent to whoever gets the goods first will be able to earn money first.

Two months from now, will the iPhone still be a mainstream flagship model? Will it still be a smartphone with a strong desire to buy?

For a product like a smartphone, two months can complete a replacement. Or for those old mobile phone manufacturers, can't they develop products similar to iPhones in two months?

If there are similar products, then, iPhone sales, it is difficult to guarantee. This is also the reason why Wen Ming is willing to bet with Teresa Roy, he really needs Teresa Roy to help him solve the production of 8 million iPhones, otherwise, what will he sell now?

Even if the sales of the iPhone are guaranteed now, he can place orders with hardware manufacturers, but the intermediate production cycle will have to be extended again, and at that time, it will not be two months, it is likely to be extended to 4 months or even longer.

Two months will affect sales, let alone four months?

Users don't deliberately wait four months just to buy an iPhone, because the current Apple is not Jobs's Apple.

"Priority supply to the Chinese market."

Wen Ming ran out to do market research work today, just to avoid the agents in the company, but James was cheeky and followed, and he still brought up the topic.

"Because Foxconn's factory is in Huaxia, we can save a few days of transportation cycles. Moreover, the market of Huaxia is very large, and in addition to the American market, the Huaxia market will be the most important market for our company. ”

So far, Huaxia's consumer market has not surpassed the United States, but Wen Ming knows very clearly that in a few years, Huaxia will surpass the United States and become the world's largest consumer market in many industries.

"As for the rest of the country, it's up to you to distribute it, I'd love to relax for a while now."

Wen Ming was really tired for a while before, although the hardware parameters and system code of the iPhone were in Wen Ming's mind, but even if it was copied, it cost him a lot of attention, not to mention that his physical condition was not too good.

James nodded and said, "You really should relax, why don't we go out and play?" ”

Wen Ming's face darkened instantly: "Do you want to take me out to sea again?" ”

James smiled awkwardly, suddenly raised his hand and said, "It's here, let's go in and have a look." ”

Wen Ming parked the car and took James to the Apple Experience Store, but at this moment, his phone rang.

Picking up the phone, Sith's voice was filled with anger.

"There was a problem with the certification of the iPhone in Huaxia, and it was said that it would take at least a month, and just now, the agents from Huaxia were gone."

"I see."

Wen Ming didn't say anything, because it didn't make sense to say anything now, and after hanging up the phone, he continued to walk towards the Apple experience store without changing his face.

"It's a pity that I can't be friends with the richest man."
