In the end, Peter did not go to the Foxconn factory to put pressure, not because Wen Ming did not want to make the workers of the Foxconn factory work crazy overtime because of the pursuit of the extreme production speed of the iPhone, but simply because they did not need to go.

Although the sales of the iPhone were only officially released in the United States for various reasons, the amazing sales on the day of its release have already attracted the attention of the world.

Without any hardware manufacturing basis, Apple's first smartphone has already received a lot of attention on the day of its launch event. Because before the iPhone, no one would have thought that the phone could be designed like this, and its decision to reject any software released by any software manufacturer on the iOS platform and carry those private goods that may affect the user experience has also caused a lot of controversy.

IT practitioners have criticized this, believing that this is a violation of industry rules. Ordinary consumers, on the other hand, are supportive of this. Of course, there are also many consumers who believe that this is just a gimmick created by Apple to promote the iPhone, and in essence, Apple will not be different from any other phone manufacturer.

On the second day of the official release of the iPhone, the most discussed word on the Internet in the United States was the iPhone.

In addition to the praise, the most common news about the iPhone is the problem of out of stock, because by the afternoon of the next day, Apple experience stores across the United States, as well as ATT stores, have been sold out, and they have put up a sign that suspends authorization and only accepts reservations.

The main reason for persisting until now is that all users who have ordered from Apple's official website have been notified that it will be officially shipped three days later.

This point has been told to consumers on the first day of the official launch of the iPhone.

"Foxconn has received news that they will deploy as many production lines and assembly workers as possible for us, and it is expected that in a week, the number of iPhones they will assemble every day will reach 300,000."

Peter started to report on Wenming's daily work, which has doubled the speed of 150,000 units per day before the Foxconn factory.

"And the price we paid was to hand over the next batch of 10 million iPhone assembly orders to them."

Normally, after the two sides have signed the contract, no matter how hot the iPhone sells, Foxconn does not need to be in a hurry, according to the assembly speed agreed in the previous contract, they can get all the benefits. But everything is for the sake of profit, judging from the current sales and reputation of the iPhone, it is absolutely impossible for 10 million iPhones to meet the needs of the global market. Therefore, Apple will inevitably need to increase the number of orders.

In this case, Foxconn is very smart to take the initiative to increase the production line for assembling iPhones before Apple's request, and naturally, it will be able to get Apple's second batch of iPhone assembly orders with a good foundation of cooperation.

Wen Ming nodded, Foxconn's speed up was in his expectation, and after thinking about it, he asked: "On the part supplier's side, do you have any comments on our behavior of adding new parts orders, but not paying the balance in the early stage?" ”

Peter shook his head with a smile and said, "How can they have an opinion? Now they are begging us to continue to be our parts supplier, and there is no time to pay the final payment. ”

In the past, when Wen Ming was looking for parts suppliers, he tried his best to find Apple parts suppliers in another world, because his company was too small and too few people, so he didn't have so much time to compare and do quality inspections. And now, with iPhone sales going on a spree, he has enough cash flow to expand his company.

With enough manpower, he naturally chose the best Apple parts supplier for him, not Jobs's Apple parts supplier.

"In the second batch of 10 million iPhones, the suppliers tried not to change, because the sales of iPhones were too fast, and we didn't have time to find new parts suppliers. However, while this batch of iPhones is being manufactured, I need you to choose the most suitable parts supplier for me. ”

Hearing Wen Ming's request, Peter said confidently: "Boss, don't worry, as long as I go to talk, the cost of this batch of iPhones can be reduced a lot." If I had joined the company earlier, the cost of the last batch of iPhones would have dropped a lot. ”

Peter is an old fritter in the mobile phone industry, and he used to be in a high position, so he is much better than Wen Ming in this regard.

Wen Ming laughed and said, "So, how many shares do you want to get?" ”

Peter instantly fell into a stupor, he didn't think about this problem, and even very much hoped that he could get a stake in Apple. For a company, it is very normal to give real high-level management and old employees technology stocks, and in the United States, it is also the desire of many people to change from a part-time worker to a partner.

But Peter also knows very well how valuable Apple's stock is, and it is no exaggeration to say that Facebook, which is known as a rare asset in the IT industry for 20 years, is not as valuable as the current Apple. More than a month ago, Apple relied on Facebook to become a member of the $1 billion club.

This incredible speed of progress, Peter did not contribute much in it, and he is not the real patriarch of the company, the real patriarch of Apple should be the Sith and others, as well as the group of people who developed Plants vs. Zombies.

"Boss, isn't it April Fool's Day?"

Seeing Peter's disbelief, Wen Ming smiled and said, "Of course it's not April Fool's Day, I'm going to take out a part of the shares as technology stocks and management shares, among them, naturally you have your share." ”

Wen Ming had planned to take out Apple's shares and give them to technicians and management, because this would increase the cohesion of the company's core. After all, when giving shares again, many conditions will also be set, which is equivalent to tying people to their own chariots with money. And when this person wants to get out of the car, or wants to leave the company to start a new business, or even betrays the company, his rights and interests will be withdrawn.

But Apple wasn't very valuable before, and Wen Ming only gave out a bonus once, the one time he sold ins.

While giving to others, you must let others know the value you give, otherwise, no one will receive much affection. The most important thing is to give shares when Apple is not very valuable, give less people are unhappy, and give more Wen Ming and reluctant.

And now, Apple is already very valuable, and giving shares at this time can not only give less, but also get more thanks, so why not?

Peter's expression of excitement was instantaneous, and after thanking him many times, he didn't mention how much he wanted at all, which is his cleverness. When people don't have enough right to speak, try not to ask for it, but choose to accept it, because what you get belongs to others in essence, and the decision is also in the hands of others.

After Peter left happily, Wen Ming got a very bad news, which made him very unhappy.

I don't know if it happened to be today, Teresa Roy found out the news, or he decided to tell Wen Ming after seeing the sales of the iPhone.

Anyway, he made a phone call.

"Congratulations on the success of your iPhone!"

After some politeness, Teresa Roy said, "It's Nokia!" ”

Wen Ming was stunned, he really didn't expect that it would be Nokia?
