[Chapter 203: We Won]
Matrix Technology Headquarters.
After Ren Hong left the "Dark Axe Base", he finally came to his office. For more than a month, he has not asked about all the affairs of the company, and now he has successfully "exited", so he naturally has to spend some time on this, although he has never been in charge of the company's operation, but as a company, especially a group technology company with huge profits and wide influence, as its head, there are some things that need to be understood regularly.
For more than an hour, he browsed through, and basically the company's daily operations were very stable.
"What's the big thing this month?" When Ren Hong browsed the daily operation of Matrix Technology, he asked Ding Yang, who had never left.
"It's not a big deal, everything is normal." Ding Yang replied quickly and competently, "Oh yes! He suddenly remembered something, and then said, "There are two things!" ”
"What is it?" Ren Hong looked at him.
Ding Yang said: "You have won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology, and the award ceremony will be held at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden on December 10 next year. ”
"Huh?" Ren Hong suddenly looked at him suspiciously, "I said Ding Yang, did you make a mistake?" I remember that there is still a nomination for the Nobel Prize, and the real winner will be announced at the end, so why do you just win the award, do you have to change the rules? ”
Ding Yang said with a smile: "Boss, who else is eligible to win this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology besides you, it is no exaggeration to say that it is not only the winner of this year's Best Biophysiology Award, but also the winner of the Best Physiology Award of this century?" This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology is said to be the most suspenseful in history. You have won this award, and you deserve it. It's a unique one. ”
"Alright! What about the other thing? ”
Ding Yang paused and said, "A week ago, Apple Inc. and its CEO Tim . A letter of request was sent in Cook's name. Tim. Cook wants to meet with you in detail. ”
"Cook?" Ren Hong raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at the other party a little puzzled, "I seem to remember that I don't seem to have much friendship with him, right?" If there is a relationship, it is also a competitive relationship, ha~~"
"I don't know. So how do you respond to him? Ding Yang asked.
Ren Hong thought about it carefully and asked, "What is the total performance of Apple's flagship 9S during this period?" ”
"The total sales volume of more than two months is about 20 million units, and the stamina is worrying, relatively speaking, it has become saturated." Ding Yang replied quickly, obviously doing his homework.
"And what about our 'S-2'?" Ren Hong asked again.
Ding Yang sorted out the information. He then said: "The shipment of 'S-2' has exceeded the 100 million mark, and basically 'S-2' has been booked from the production line. However, Rockefeller did not come to pick up the goods again, the United States has launched an anti-dumping bill, restricting our footsteps in the international market, but the smuggling of 'S-2' has also become more frequent with the United States initiating the anti-dumping bill, and many products have been transported from Greater China to foreign markets with huge demand through secret channels, and the price on the black market has even been sold for $5,000 a unit. ”
"Yo!" Ren Hongyi laughed when he heard this, "Is this an international scalper?" ”
"Respond to him!" Ren Hong said: "If you want to meet, let him come to Matrix Technology." Maybe you can take a bite on the other side of the 'apple' and it should be enough to make a fortune. ”
Apple wants to meet, which can only mean that they can't bear it and compromise. And that means dollars, Ren Hong can already smell the dollars emanating from Cook. No one will get along with the dollar, especially Ren Hong. Matrix Technology making money is indeed not much different from grabbing money, but spending money is not much different from burning money. The "Immortal Axe Project" is now underway. In the future, there are "virtual world projects", "moon projects", "Mars plans", "dinosaur park plans", etc., which of these is not tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars of expenditure?
So. As long as he can make money, Ren Hong will not refuse to come. He has money, but he also lacks money.
As Ding Yang left, Ren Hong's voice sounded again, saying, "Sakura-chan, post a tweet on my Weibo and Facebook, the content is...... Well, that's all! ”
Sakura: "No problem...... Get! ”
After three hours in the office, it was not too early to see the time. It was already 17:50 p.m. when I returned to the villa, and the days were short and the nights were long towards the end of the year, and it was already close to evening for the northern hemisphere.
"Good evening, dear, haven't you seen me in a month, missed me?"
When Ren Hong, who returned to the villa, saw Gao Yue sitting alone on the platform overlooking the scenery of the reservoir, he quietly appeared from behind and hugged each other, and said with a smile.
"Nope!" Gao Yue suddenly replied coldly.
This made Ren Hong stunned, "How can you be so direct!" ”
"yes, do you have an opinion? If you have any opinions, you can go back to your stinky lab and stay there! It's better to stay for a year and don't come out! ”
"Hey! What are you doing? Let me go! ”
Ren Hongjiu occupied the magpie's nest, forcibly pulled her from her seat and hugged her into his arms, and then sat down. And Gao Yue is struggling with all his might, but to no avail.
"Today is December 12th, and there are still 10 days to go, and I'm ready for this, and I've been preparing for this for months, and even locking myself in the lab for a month is also for the two of us, so that it makes you feel emotional, so are you ready?"
"The devil believes you! Engage in your broken research is the real thing! ”
"That being said, it's really a preparation for our two-person plan, and I can ...... I swear by little JJ, if it's fake, then I won't be able to get hard again! ”
"Shameless!! Hey, what are you going to do? ”
"It's been holding back for more than a month! What do you say you're going to do? Don't you want to? That's right! It's just a good time to verify if I'm lying! ”
"Haha! Ah~~ My clothes are torn, thousands of dollars! Don't do that, haha. Can't you just be gentle? I can't stand you anymore! ”
"You can't stand foreplay?"
"Hooligans!"
"I'm just a hooligan for you!"
"Come on! Infinite welcome! ”
"I'm coming!"
……
And at the same time, on the other side of the planet upright in the morning. Apple's spaceship headquarters in California.
Apple executives sat in the conference room again.
Tim. Cook looked at the crowd and said, "Apple hasn't fallen yet, there is hope."
"Tomorrow I will leave for China Matrix Technology! Meet its founders! Cook said.
"The other party agreed?" An executive said.
"Yes. Two hours ago! Cook nodded in affirmation, he was silent, but once again he spoke with great seriousness, "Tomorrow's trip, what the result is, will determine the life and death of the iPhone, and basically determine the life and death of our company." ”
At present, Apple's market capitalization has fallen below the $350 billion mark, and as of yesterday, the market capitalization was $348.1 billion. Almost half of the market value has evaporated, and this half of the market value is supported by Apple's mobile phone business, and now the iPhone is in danger or will be eliminated. Apple lost its dominance of the mobile phone business, and the corresponding market value fell with it, which can be described as a sharp decline, and the setback in the stock market echoed the setback of the iPhone in the market.
Unless the iPhone can be killed again and reclaim its own "throne". Otherwise, Apple will not return to a market capitalization of more than $400 billion. It will even fall below the $300 billion mark, because Apple is simply not worth the price without an iPhone.
The iPhone 9S has failed in the face of the 'S-2', which has become the consensus of the industry all over the world, and even Cook himself has to admit it. As a consumer, even he loved the 'S-2', but he couldn't use it. Because he is the CEO of Apple.
"Look at this Silicon Valley Bulletin!" Cook said suddenly, after a while. The executives present all faced the large screen in the conference room, and the voice of the reporter began to resound in the conference room:
"Matrix Technology Founder 'Sherus. Ren's tweeted on social platforms three hours ago. The tweet message is as follows: The battle for high-end smart devices is over, and we win!
When I read this news, I couldn't help but think of the E3 game show in 2002, and it was also an Asian who said something of a similar nature. At the time, Sony's PS2 console was selling more than 30 million units worldwide, and SCEA proudly announced at the press conference before the E3 show that the console war was over!
History always has such striking similarities......
…… Silicon Valley Technology, collating reports. ”
Everyone in the room, including Tim. Cook, no one spoke, just quietly looked at a screenshot of the text message of a tweet on the screen: The battle for high-end smart devices is over, we have won!
When I saw this text message, especially when I saw that there was a comment intercepted below this tweet: Apple is going to be finished!
Everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness. They have also defeated countless strong enemies, watching them end, and now it is inevitably their turn, the reality is so cruel, but does Apple really have regrets?
In the eighties and nineties of the last century, the world was shrouded in the "shadow" of Sony, and in the following twenty years, a bitten apple "ruled" the world. Now, Apple is finally coming to an end, and the shining star is rising from the east like the sun, and the next 20 years may be the "world" of matrix technology.
The so-called "talented people from generation to generation have come out, and each has led the way for decades". Nothing more.
"It's off!" Cook covered his nose and mouth with his hands closed, took a deep breath, looked at everyone with tired eyes, and said calmly: "Get ready to enter the low-end market!" Remember, this is not a disaster that belongs to Apple, this is a disaster that belongs to the entire American tech community and even the world's tech circle! We're just one of them. ”
Thinking of someone suffering with him, the hearts of those present are also a lot more balanced, people are such strange animals, when they are miserable, if they see someone who is more miserable than themselves or a group of people who are as miserable as themselves, their hearts will feel much better.
"I wish me all the best tomorrow, adjournment!"
