Chapter 098: Why Do You Give Them a Good Look?

Wen Ming never understood why Nokia would take action against his Apple.

In Wen Ming's impression, Nokia should have been immersed in its own hegemony at this time, and it is inappropriate to say that they do not want to forge ahead, but it is an indisputable fact to say that they look down on other peers.

If they can recognize the reality and launch Android phones instead of sticking to Symbian, what will the future of Nokia look like?

But such a Nokia chose to take a shot at Apple, which really surprised Wen Ming.

"If they really look down on other peers and any other mobile phone system as you analyzed, then why should they ask Microsoft to help them develop the WP system?"

After getting the news, Wen Ming immediately convened a high-level meeting of Apple, which was a bit shabby compared to Nokia's high-level meeting.

Except for Wen Ming, there are only Sith and Peter.

Although James and others have been helping Wen Ming when Apple was just established, they are still in the learning period and their ability is still lacking, so they cannot be regarded as senior executives of Apple, but can only be regarded as veterans.

Mahler, the chief financial officer, was not fit to be present at this meeting.

Peter continued the conversation by saying, "When I was at Motorola, I already knew about Nokia and Microsoft's WP systems, and you know, we had to know more about the news in the industry than we did about the journalists. But by the time I left Motorola, the WP system had not been able to pass Nokia's approval, which means that Nokia was not really sticking to the Symbian system, but they were trying to get a system that would help them really dominate the mobile phone industry. ”

When Wen Ming was in another world, one of his bosses once said: People who can earn 5 million are not stupid.

5 million is the mantra of that boss, but it can also be understood that there is no fool in the rich.

Nokia's market capitalization has already exceeded $100 billion, and if it weren't for the financial crisis, its market value would be even higher. At this level, it is impossible to be the kind of enterprise that only knows how to gnaw at the old foundation and does not know how to forge ahead.

Because Nokia is a public company, it is not a one-person dictatorship, and one person's decision-making may be wrong, but the decision-making of a group of people is rarely the possibility of serious mistakes.

Peter concluded: "So, I think when Nokia sniped us, it was trying to buy time so that they could grab a part of our market. And because before our press conference, the certification of the iPhone in the United States and other countries had been completed, so they couldn't do anything, but our certification in Huaxia at that time had not been completed, so we gave them a chance. ”

After hearing Peter's analysis, Wen Ming agreed very much, he had similar speculations before, but because he clearly knew that Nokia's scenery was about to be gone, he never put Nokia in his eyes.

But he ignored one thing, that is, the current Nokia is still the hegemon of the world's mobile phone industry.

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

Mobile phone brands such as Motorola and Blackberry started almost the same time as Nokia, so Nokia has no way to do anything to these brands. But Apple, which has just started, is like a baby, at Nokia's disposal.

Sith didn't know much about the cell phone industry, and the problem he was talking about was another aspect.

"Boss, let's not discuss whether Teresa Roy's news is reliable or not, we don't have any evidence to prove this at all. And there is no formal way to resolve this matter and hold them accountable. ”

It is difficult to define the act of dumping in business in law, and even the most obvious patent infringement will be different depending on the national situation.

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for trouble with them through formal channels, as you said, there is no formal way for us to solve the problem at all." I just want to know one thing, why are they bothering us, as for trouble with them...... I'll figure it out myself. ”

After Peter and Sith glanced at each other, Sith hesitated: "Wenming, you are still young, when thinking about the problem, I hope you can be more cautious." ”

The Sith called Wen Ming the boss when other people were present, and he called it that way just now. But now it suddenly became a name, and he wanted to tell Wen Ming that his words were to admonish Wen Ming as an elder.

Wen Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, there's no need for that." Now Peter's analysis has made me change my mentality towards Nokia, and we will definitely pay attention to their actions in the future when we do business. ”

The topic ended for the time being, and Peter coughed and said: "Boss, our current pre-orders in the United States have reached 600,000 units, and according to our business survey, the number of users who are interested in buying has exceeded 3 million, that is, in the next two weeks, as long as our iPhones arrive, we will be able to sell them all." ”

Changing the mood of the boss with good news is a common means in the workplace.

Peter added: "The problem now is that the agents in other countries except Huaxia are strongly asking us to supply in advance, and they don't want us to start delivering in two weeks. ”

Although Foxconn's assembly speed has increased, the iPhone is still not for sale, and this is only in the US market. In addition to Canadians who can come to the United States to buy iPhones at any time because of visa exemption, agents in other countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and other countries are very eager for iPhones.

Time is money, and who knows how many consumers will change their phones after two weeks and have no reason to buy an iPhone again?

Wen Ming waved his hand and said, "These things belong to you, you just need to make arrangements and tell me, I have to take a period of leave recently." ”

The sales of the iPhone and the sales for a long time in the future have entered the formality, and Wen Ming is going to prepare to go to New York to complete the project of 'resurrecting' the dinosaur with Benjamin and Cui Chuanming.

And Apple's abundant cash flow now also allows Wen Ming to spend money on the 'resurrection' dinosaur project in order to improve the speed.

"Leave?"

Sith was stunned for a moment, because Wen Ming's work status before was really no different from that of a workaholic.

"I couldn't agree more with your decision, you really need to take a break."

Wen Ming knew that the Sith had misunderstood, but he didn't need to explain, and Peter asked puzzledly, "Boss, didn't you say that there is still a cross-era product ready to be released?" ”

Sith glared at Peter, in Sith's opinion, Wen Ming's body is more important than money, not to mention that Wen Ming will never be short of money in his life. Peter's idea is that the faster the company develops, the better, so he is very much looking forward to the cross-era product that Wen Ming said.

Wen Ming said with a smile: "I will finish that product slowly during my vacation time, don't worry, I have completed the approximate design plan, and we can officially put it into production in two months at most." Moreover, now we do not have enough production capacity. ”

The development of the iPad is very simple for Wenming, and the iOS system has been completed, and the number of software on the platform is increasing by double digits every day. Therefore, Wenming can start the production of iPad at any time.

But his focus now should be shifted to the 'resurrection' of the dinosaurs.

There was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Wen Ming's airport assistant came in and reported: "Nokia has sent an official business visit letter, and their president wants to visit our company, preferably in a direct meeting with you." ”

Wen Ming looked at Sith and Peter, who were also puzzled, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Reply to them, we don't accept their interviews." ”

As soon as Peter tried to persuade, he was directly interrupted by Wen Ming.

"We are Apple, our goal is to change the world, and although I said it was an empty phrase, we should have this confidence."

"I know you want to say that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, but for me, the mood is the most important thing. Benefit? The benefits we can create for ourselves far exceed the benefits that Nokia can bring to us, so why give them a good face? ”
