Chapter 244: Donus who completed the mission
After completing a lot of revenge, Wen Ming's life fell into the previous peace.
The C.I.A. didn't look for him, the U.S. military didn't look for him, and Theresa Roy didn't need to talk to him for some powerful power.
But this calm is only relative.
At this time, nearly two months have passed since Donners joined Apple, and in these two months, relying on the new computer system delivered by Wenming, as well as the hardware parameters of the first generation of Apple laptops and desktops, Donners has successfully manufactured an engineering prototype.
Then, he secretly came to Jurassic Island.
Donnas said with some emotion: "Boss, seriously, I haven't seen you for almost two months. ”
Wen Ming sat in the office of the research institute, looked at the two Apple computer products that Donus put on his desk, and asked with a smile: "What, are you going to tell me that you miss me?" ”
Donus shook his head and said, "Boss, I can't believe that a company that has just been established for less than a year, the boss has not been to the company for two months. What makes me even more unbelievable is that even in this situation, our company is still growing very fast. ”
Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has become the new giant of the global mobile phone industry, which is unthinkable to many. Because the birth of a giant company cannot be completed within a year, unless the company has the support of the state.
But Apple does not have the support of the state, and even because it is registered in the United States and the boss is a Chinese, Apple also enjoys some 'boycott of foreign goods' treatment in the United States.
However, none of this has affected the best-selling of the iPhone, as well as the sales of the iPad, which has been extremely popular in recent times.
"Moreover, our company's iPhone has become the best-selling mobile phone in the world. Best of all, now we are able to set a new sales record for every iPhone we sell. In other words, we are making history all the time. ”
Although the iPhone has nothing to do with Donus, he is now a senior executive of Apple, and any honor that Apple has achieved will make him proud.
Donnas's mood became agitated again, and he said, "Boss, many people in the company want to hold a celebration party to celebrate what we have achieved so far. However, if you don't come to the company, there is no way to hold this celebration. ”
Wen Ming smiled and asked, "Are we the best-selling mobile phone of all time?" So, where did you put Nokia? ”
Regarding the sales of iPhone, Wen Ming is very clear in his heart, because the company's daily report is summarized in his hands every day.
Although it has only been 7 months since the release of the iPhone, the global sales of the iPhone have already entered the global mobile phone sales record. Of course, for the time being, it has not surpassed the 250 million units sold by Nokia's 1110, and it is also far from the 160 million units of the Nokia 3210, which ranks second, and even the 70 million units of the Nokia 6010, which ranks tenth.
However, the cumulative global sales of the first-generation iPhone exceeded 60 million units, which still made it the 12th best-selling mobile phone in the world.
It is worth mentioning that in the cumulative ranking of global mobile phone sales, Nokia alone occupies 10 of the top 11, except for the seventh place is Motorola's Blade V3, which has reached 130 million units, and the rest are all mobile phones produced by Nokia.
It is precisely for this reason that Nokia, whose flagship model sales are far inferior to the iPhone, is still valued at $80 billion.
Take a look at Nokia's nearly 10 mobile phones that have sold more than 100 million units worldwide, and also set a global sales record of 250 million mobile phones. No matter how confident Wen Ming is, he feels that his iPhone will never reach this level.
Donnas laughed and said: "Boss, we are talking about smartphones, the current mobile phones on the global mobile phone sales list, none of the mobile phones are smartphones, in this case, we say that our iphone is the best-selling smartphone in the world, absolutely no one will have any doubt." ”
Wen Ming felt very new to this statement, because in another world, he had used the Nokia 5230 mobile phone, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people who could take this mobile phone at that time were much better than the people who came to get the iPhone later.
Nokia 5230, the third-generation smartphone launched by Nokia, has sold more than 150 million units worldwide since its release at the end of 2009.
Even though Apple had launched the first, second, and third generation iPhones at that time, it could not be compared with the Nokia 5230 in terms of sales.
However, because of Wen Ming's arrival, he did not take the same route as Apple in another world. Instead of taking out the first, second, and third generation iPhones of another world, they directly took out the iPhone 4, which was defined as a reinvention of mobile phones.
When this mobile phone appeared, although Nokia also launched the Nokia 5230 mobile phone at the end of last year, sales were very seriously affected by the rise of the iPhone.
That's why Nokia can't wait to work with Microsoft to launch their Nokia 2010 flagship model with the P operating platform.
The results are obvious, and Nokia 2010 also hit the streets.
"Okay, I'll go back to the company to hold a celebration banquet recently."
Wen Ming looked at the excited Donus and said with a smile: "But what I need to remind you is that we should look forward and not be complacent about what we have achieved in the past. So, I hope you can tell me, are these two computer products going to work? ”
The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, just as Nokia created such an incredible sales record, and then did not keep up with the times and declined. No matter how good the sales record is, it has already been sold, and the profit has already arrived.
In the era of smartphones, Nokia has been left behind by other mobile phone manufacturers because of decision-making mistakes. As a result, no one will buy their shares based on the history they once made.
Speaking of the two new Apple products, Donners is even more emotional, and he can participate in such a cross-era product development. Even if the main credit goes to Wen Ming, he feels very proud.
"Boss, can you let me tell you something first?"
Seeing Donus making such a righteous appeal, Wen Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Donus said, "Boss, you're really a genius. ”
In Wenming's astonishment, Donners began to explain the MacbookAir, Apple's laptop product.
"It's the thinnest laptop ever made, but it outperforms many laptops that are twice as thick. And on top of that, its battery life can be said to be at the pinnacle of all time in a notebook. Except for some special models of laptops, no laptop has a battery life that can match it. ”
For this notebook, Wen Ming knows better than Donnas, and even the first-generation iMac all-in-one next to him, Wen Ming knows better than anyone else, because these two products are 'independently developed' by him.
He was going to hear about the results of the internal testing of the two products after the engineering prototype was built. In addition to performance, it is a test of how you feel about it.
However, when he saw Donnas's excited introduction, he knew he didn't need to worry anymore.
How could a product that could impress the true social elite like the Donners not succeed?
