Reinventing the Millennium.

The ship arrives at the port.

The cargo plane landed.

The truck departs.

The glass substrate is cut with a laser.

The chip is picked and placed and bonded to the PCB board.

The camera module is mounted on the mobile phone.

Foxconn's factory floor is rumbling for Mars.

New York... The tornado in New York made Yu Hong feel a little irritable.

The hurricane the year before, the heavy snowfall last year, and the tornado this year were so fierce that they even caused power outages.

Yu Hong stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the street, and suddenly felt that this weather was suitable for hiding in her room and using her laptop to go online to buy a pre-sold Yike Mars mobile phone.

For $99, you can get Mars pre-sale.

Holding a coffee cup, Yu Hong sat back at her desk and refreshed the pre-order page on T-Mobile's official website.

Through the observation of iPhone sales, the $199 contract machine is still the most popular, and this time Mars must be no exception.

T-Mobie operator has been making great efforts to increase its 3G deployment in the US market, and when it comes to terminal mobile phones, it has specially designed tariff packages for Mars.

主要是分为四种套餐，每月40/50/60美元，享受200条/1500条/不限量的短信、5G/10G/不限量的流量、450分钟/1000分钟/2000分钟的通话时间。

And, if you are willing to pay $110 per month, you can enjoy unlimited calls, unlimited data and 500 text messages.

Sign a two-year usage agreement for any package, and the purchase price of the two versions of Yike Mars is US$199/US$299.

Compared with the tariffs on the market, T-Mobile has a small discount, trying to challenge AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint's 3G market in terms of price. Its goal in the first half of next year is to occupy 18-22% of the US market.

Yu Hong carefully and boringly evaluated the package situation, and thought that if it is used normally, the $50 package is still more cost-effective, and the 10G traffic is not enough, right?What's more, WiFi is also available.

There was a light knock on the office door.

"Mr. Yu, Nord, the senior vice president of Ericsson America, would like to meet with Fang when he has time." The secretary reported the news just received.

"Ericsson's Nord?" Yu Hong changed her mind. Sony Ericsson's mobile phone cooperation has always been with Sony. Ericsson... I am afraid it is related to the operator's 3G equipment. T-Mobile will have a great impact on the market from this year to next year. put in.

She said lightly: "About the 10th of this month, Mr. Fang will come to the United States after celebrating the National Day. If there is any change in the itinerary, we will postpone it later."

The secretary nodded, and reported again: "Feng Wenfeng, vice president of Verizon's wireless department, wants to talk about the cooperation again."

This is a Chinese executive in the operator Verizon.

When Yike and Qualcomm lobbied Verizon before, he also approached this person, but he was mostly on a business trip.

Yu Hong also wanted to go on a business trip, but she decided rationally, looked through the arrangements, and said, "It will be on the morning of the 4th."

Then she commented: "Both parties know it's useless, and we still have to waste time together."

The secretary asked, "President Yu, didn't we sign an exclusive contract with T-Mobile?"

"There is a six-month exclusivity period with T-Mobile, which starts from the release in December, and when this half-year ends, it will be June next year." Yu Hong said, "The iPhone will probably have a second generation by then, and it will definitely be released. With the addition of 12G, our press conference may be a little later, but it will not be too late."

"Can Verizon sit back and watch as it misses almost a generation of phones? Not realistic."

"Moreover, Android is an open source system."

Yu Hong took a sip of coffee: "It can only be said that we retain the possibility of cooperation. As for whether we can cooperate, it depends on market changes and other manufacturers' moves. Yike is always open to cooperation with operators."

The secretary understood.

Although Yike has taken some initiative in the cooperation with T-Mobile, operators of Verizon's size may have greater subjective initiative, whether it is OEM or cooperation, there are still many choices.

"Go and get the supplier's documents." Yu Hong ordered one thing.

However, when she flipped through the documents sent by her secretary, she was still restless, always thinking about the pre-sale situation.

From the opening of the pre-sale at [-] p.m. to the time I left the office at [-] p.m., the weather in New York was not very good.

Yu Hong finally browsed the background and data reports, and finished the coffee in the cup.

clang clang.

The notebook that is about to be closed will play a prompt.

Yu Hong raised her eyebrows and saw that a BOSS was online in the conference system.

Soon, Fang Zhuo, who looked like he was still in bed, appeared on the screen in pajamas.

"Boss Fang has had a hard time sleeping." Yu Hong said angrily, "Didn't you say to wait for the data before telling you? Why are you so impatient to go online again?"

Fang Zhuo yawned: "It's mainly because the person next to me wants to hear about the situation."

"Weiwei, you should... eh? Xiong, Mr. Xiong?" Yu Hong looked at Xiong Xiaoge who occupied most of the screen when he showed his face, "Mr. Xiong, why are you there?"

Xiong Xiaoge said happily: "I came to Shanghai to inspect the project, thinking that Yike's mobile phone has opened for pre-sale, so I sent Mr. Fang two boxes of expired mooncakes by the way."

Fang Zhuo's voice came from outside the screen - "Don't believe it, the Shanghai he came from the capital overnight is almost comparable to the midnight cock crowing of the A shares this year."

Xiong Xiaoge's smile didn't change, he came over by himself if the mountain couldn't pass.

He walked out of the bedroom with his notebook, sat on the sofa in the living room, and asked concerned: "It's been four hours, how is the pre-sale of Mars?"

"The bulk is on the operator's side. We mainly sell pre-sales at retail prices here." Yu Hong said, "We just broke through 5000 units in four hours."

Xiong Xiaoge silently calculated, 5000 units in four hours is 200 million US dollars, which is 1500 million Huaxia coins.

Assuming that's all for one day, it will be 50 units if you keep it for [-] days.

What's more, the operator's side has not been counted.

That's been pretty good, and I'm on track to finish quarters in a month.

Yu Hong said with some regret: "If we started the pre-sale immediately after the press conference, the response would definitely be better. Now that there are real iPhones on the market, the latest human-computer interaction experience like the touch screen can be satisfied. .”

Xiong Xiaoge didn't know about Yike's internal goals, so he just said: "Mr. Yu, Jobs must think so. Now there are expectations of Yike Mars 3G smartphones. If there is no such thing, the iPhone response will definitely be better."

Yu Hong was stunned, the mouth of the venture capitalist really knew how to speak.

Xiong Xiaoge turned to look at Mr. Fang who came out of the bedroom, and warmly invited: "Mr. Fang, 4 units have been pre-sold on the official website in 5000 hours. What do you think?"

Yu Hong heard the voice-over again, from Mr. Fang's evaluation - "not satisfactory".

She suddenly felt itchy teeth, and said to the screen in a deep voice, "Mr. Fang, come here."

Xiong Xiaoge quickly turned the direction of the notebook: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Yu is calling you."

Fang Zhuo squeezed the toothpaste and said, "It's not satisfactory, but people are generally satisfied. What's the problem? The pre-sale target in the US market this month is 30 units, and Mr. Yu has completed 0.5 units from the official website alone. We are a business. ..."

He began to brush his teeth, and said vaguely: "That's what you know. Mr. Yu is in charge of the US market, confronting Apple head-on, dealing with telecom operators, and working hard to build a supply chain. He is definitely a great contributor."

"What do you want to do, old bear? Turning the camera, who do you want to provoke?"

"I opened the door early in the morning and bought two boxes of mooncakes, so I have the nerve to knock on the door?"

Fang Zhuo rinsed his mouth and showed a smile: "As soon as I arrive in the United States, I have to write an inscription for President Yu in front of all the employees, and the inscription-Yi Ke's merits, Yu Hong is the first!"

"In just these four hours, I think it's just around the corner to overthrow Nokia, wipe out Samsung, and kill Apple!"

Yu Hong finally said, "Bah!"

"What are you looking at, old bear? Give me the notebook, go buy breakfast, at the gate of the community, buy more." Fang Zhuo grabbed the notebook and put it on the table.

"Where's your secretary?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.

"I'm not in my [-]s and [-]s, and I still want a life secretary?" Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Xiong, and urged, "Go, I have business secrets to discuss with Mr. Yu, it's not you who sold Yike's stock that can do it." Listen."

Xiong Xiaoge stood up helplessly after being overwhelmed by the last sentence.

The sentence he heard before leaving the house came from Mr. Yu in his notebook.

"It should be stronger than Apple's sales in the same period. It mainly depends on the operator. T-Mobie's influence is weaker. Now there is something I have to report to you. It is said..."

Xiong Xiaoge didn't hear "it is said", and he was embarrassed to press his ear to the door.

Hey, Mr. Fang is too defensive.

The red light of the surveillance camera in the corner flickered, Xiong Xiaoge pondered the information on his phone, and slowly walked towards the elevator.
