Teresa Roy secured it with its own assets, paid a deposit of $460 million, and placed orders for up to 8 million iPhones with Apple's suppliers and foundries.

After one year, Apple will pay the final payment, and if Apple is unable to pay the final payment, then Teresa Roy will pay the final payment and pay liquidated damages.

With Teresa Roy's asset guarantee, Apple's parts suppliers increased the number of iPhone parts production in the first place.

"Are you stupid?"

After completing the gambling agreement, Sith asked a little puzzled: "Not to mention anything else, the production cycle of the iPhone takes three months, which means that we only have 9 months to sell the iPhone, and then we have to pay the final payment." ”

"The balance of 8 million iPhones is up to $1.8 billion, and we have to pay Teresa Roy $460 million. Have you ever calculated how many iPhones we need to sell? ”

Wen Ming replied confidently: "I don't need to count, I only know that these 10 million iPhones are not bought and sold at all." ”

Sith really wanted to pat his ass and leave at this time, and said a little angrily: "A new product that has no user base at all, why can't you come step by step?" Even if it is Nokia, it is impossible for them to place an order for 10 million units when they first stock up. ”

Because the iPhone is in another world, it has proven its excellence and attractiveness to users.

Wen Ming sighed, he would never share his memories of another world with anyone, which caused him to make decisions many times that others couldn't understand.

Normally, when the iPhone is not recognized by the market, he is either crazy or an idiot, and there is no other explanation. As the Sith said, even Nokia, the overlord of the mobile phone industry, didn't dare to do this, why did Wen Ming?

Looking at Sith's anxious expression, Wen Ming comforted: "Don't worry, even if we can't sell so much, our loss is actually not big." As long as we can sell half of them, we will be able to fully recover the cost, and the mobile phone with sales of 5 million units will be able to prove the market's recognition of the iPhone, and when the time comes, we can directly launch new mobile phones, and those that are not sold can be sold at a low price. How much we can sell, we earn. ”

Sith sighed and said, "What you said is indeed good, I also think that it is no problem for the iPhone to sell 5 million units, but don't forget, you have a bet with Teresa Roy." ”

Wen Ming laughed and said: "Facebook only has a 2.1% stake, if our iPhone can sell 5 million units, then the market value after the listing can exceed 5 billion US dollars, for me, there is not much difference between 5 billion and 6 billion." ”

This is the end of the discussion about the bet, the wood is already in the boat, the Sith can't change anything at all, all he can do is to do his best to help Wen Ming, so that Wen Ming doesn't need to worry too much about the company's affairs.

In Wen Ming's opinion, Sith's worries were completely unnecessary.

As he told Teresa Roy, he didn't have much time, and if he didn't take the opportunity to go crazy, then there was a good chance that he wouldn't have a chance to go crazy.

Even according to Teresa Roy's analysts, iPhone sales would give him enough money to invest in the 'resurrection' of the dinosaurs. As long as he can complete this project, then he has a good chance of solving his existential crisis.

As long as he is alive, even if Apple gives it all away, what does it matter?

For Wen Ming, his life is far more important than money.

After Sith left, Wen Ming immediately gathered the employees of Apple's mobile phone division.

"Your task is very difficult, because in a month, our company will be producing 150,000 iPhones per day."

It takes a month for iPhone parts to be produced in stock to meet the assembly needs of the foundry, and Foxconn, which Wenming has chosen, also needs a month to renovate the production line and train workers.

"In other words, in two months, we will be able to get 4.5 million iPhones."

The production efficiency of the foundry is not fixed, because Foxconn does not only produce iPhones, Foxconn in the previous life, all factories combined, can produce an average of 500,000 iPhones per day, and the famous Apple Company naturally cannot let Foxconn regard him as the most important customer.

4.5 million units in one month, 9 million units in two months, and a part of the preparation cycle in the first month to produce a total of 10 million units, so the Sith said that it would take three months to produce the production cycle.

Hearing that 4.5 million iPhones would be available in two months, the employees of Apple's mobile phone division were a little stunned, because the first batch of iPhones produced only 2 million units a few days ago.

Peter, who was in charge of the mobile phone division, frowned and asked, "Boss, what are your requirements?" ”

Wen Ming liked Peter's work attitude very much, and he didn't have many doubts, he just wanted to know the boss's requirements.

"I ask that within a month, you complete all of our Apple Experience Store renovations, as well as the training of sales staff."

"I ask you to cooperate with the technicians of the R&D department to send the iPhone localization application development kit to developers and developers around the world."

"I ask that you give me a complete iPhone global marketing plan within a week."

Three requirements are not all, of course, but they are the three main ones.

Apple's experience store is the guarantee of iPhone sales, and when the iPhone is just launched, it is necessary to let users understand and feel the iPhone, so that they can rise up the desire to buy. And these people, after buying the iPhone, can provide a good publicity effect for the iPhone.

Localizing an app development kit is a way to tell developers how to build a program that runs on an iPhone. This is crucial, because the charm of a smartphone lies in the programs it is capable of running. And for Apple now, this is not difficult to achieve.

It only takes 10 million iPhones to be produced to get developers to start working on iPhones. Of course, in the early days, the iPhone was never going to be the preferred distribution platform for those developers to develop programs.

However, as long as you can get those developers to be able to convert the software they already have, or the software they are developing, into a program that runs on the iOS platform of the iPhone, there is absolutely no problem.

The last requirement is also the meaning of the question.

Mobile phones are a product that naturally cannot only focus on the local market, but should be oriented to the world. Moreover, Wen Ming himself is not an American, and Huaxia should be his home market.

Peter wrote down Wen Ming's request, and then asked, "Boss, is the first mobile phone produced by our company called an iPhone?" The subsequent naming rules, is it iphone2, 3? ”

For Peter, he works on a salary, so he doesn't need to care about what kind of price Wen Ming might pay for 10 million iPhones.

"Yes, it's called the iPhone, the first generation of the iPhone!"

At this time, Wen Ming has already begun to think, is the second-generation iPhone ready for iPhone4S, or directly on iPhone5?
