The scene of Gpod being sold at Best Buy was noticed by many Chinese media who had been waiting for a long time.

Yanjing China Television.

The boss of the news network is listening to the news gathered from all sides.

"According to what the reporter from Taili learned from the United States, today Gpod was launched in Best Buy, the largest consumer electronics mall in the United States, and the sales on the first day were also very hot. Although it is not as good as the retail experience store of Eternal Technology in China, it is basically Lots of customers."

After listening to the director's report, the boss of the news network pondered for a while.

"Let's go to the last one. This is the first time that a technology product in Huaxia has received such attention and popularity. We must support and speak out for it. And this itself is also a recent news hot spot."

"Okay!" The director immediately responded, "I suggest that you contact Lin Xiao, the founder of Eternal Technology, and ask him to accept an interview. There are already many college students who regard him as an idol on the Internet. If he can appear on our The news will also have more motivating effects on college students across the country."

The boss of the news network did not directly agree at this time, but said cautiously:
"It is because he is a college student, so we should be more cautious. If we report on him personally through our program, it is equivalent to establishing an officially recognized college student idol for him."

"His words and deeds will have a great impact on Huaxia college students across the country. We can't just judge from the quality of the products made by his company."

"Well, you guys do other work first." The boss of the news network patted the armrest of his chair lightly, "At the same time, find someone to go to Yanjing Institute of Technology, and then learn more about his identity and some of his deeds in school , we will make a decision later.”

"Okay!" The director immediately responded.

…………

The sales of Gpod in Best Buy are indeed very hot, but Best Buy only reflects the offline sales of Gpod, but it is not enough to represent the popularity of Gpod in the United States.

In fact, the moment Gpod was released, word of mouth began to ferment in the United States, especially in the major communication forums on the Internet, which aroused heated discussions among many music lovers.

Even the sales of Gpod on Amazon are booming.

Among them, the diversion effect of Gplayer is indispensable.

After breaking into the US software download rankings, Gplayer began to sing all the way. After breaking through 200 million downloads and registrations in a short period of time, it is still rising.

The design concept and all the functions of Gplayer just meet the needs of music lovers in the United States. Such a perfect fit has led to its super high reputation and the popularity of the software.

And it is precisely because Gplayer users are music lovers, Gpod ads are very targeted once they are launched on Gplayer.

Music lovers in the United States are experiencing the convenience of format conversion and CD song import brought by Gplayer, and suddenly find that there is such a carrier that can store all the songs they have converted. That feeling is like a discovery The mainland is average.

What's more, Gpod's various industrial design concepts, in the eyes of music lovers, are extremely fashionable.

Bob Barnard is an engineer at Apple and a music lover.

He discovered the Gplayer software a few days ago, when Gplayer was already at the top of the download list.

But as an employee of Apple, he naturally wants to use Apple's computer and Mac operating system, and because Gplayer is developed based on the Windows system, it cannot be used on Apple's Mac operating system, so he has never had a chance Come and experience.

In the next two or three days, Bob Barnard saw the introduction of Gplayer software in several music forums, and some people even shared many functions.

As a senior music fan, Bob Barnard was finally moved after seeing that Gplayer can support the re-production and burning of CD songs. This function suits his appetite too much.

So, when he got off work that day, Bob Barnard drove his two big boxes of CDs to the home of his friend Diamond Green.

Bob Barnard brought a lot of blank CDs, and he planned to burn all his favorite songs into a few CDs, so that he could always listen to his favorite songs.

Together with his good friend Diamond Green, Bob Barnard picked out a lot of songs from his own CD, first transferred them to the computer, and then took out a blank CD for burning.

Putting the blank CD into the computer, Bob Barnard asked his friend, "Diamond, do you need to burn two copies? I'll burn one for you."

"No, no need!" Diamond Green shook his head immediately, and then said with a smile: "The Gpod I bought from Amazon will arrive tomorrow, and I can put all these songs into the Gpod and listen to it."

"Gpod?" Bob Barnard looked at Diamond Green with some doubts. He had never heard of this thing before, but when he heard that Diamond Green wanted to put all the songs in it, Bob Barnard Nader's attention was also immediately attracted.

"Yes, Gpod of ancient technology." Diamond Green said, and asked Bob Barnard with some doubts: "Bob, as a music lover, haven't you heard of Gpod? One commercial, put 1000 songs in your pocket!"

Bob Barnard looked blank, saying he had never heard of it.

At this time, Diamond Green signaled the other party not to burn, then clicked back to the Gplayer homepage with the mouse, pointed to the Gpod advertisement above and said: "Look, this is Gpod."

Bob Barnard looked at the ad, a man was wearing white ears, and there was a white outline of a machine in his pocket, which looked very delicate, and the ad had the slogan that Diamond Green just said, putting 1000 songs Songs in pockets.

"You mean, this gadget can store all 1000 songs?" Bob Barnard asked Diamond Green full of doubts.

Diamond Green nodded, and then pointed at the advertisement on the screen, and said: "Of course, Gpod is the MP3 handheld player just released by Eternal Technology, and Eternal Technology is the company that invented the USB flash drive. Their Gpod uses hard disk storage technology, with 5G storage capacity!"

At this time, the advertisement on the computer has been completely opened, directly jumping to the Amazon purchase link, and Bob Barnard finally saw the complete introduction about Gpod.

After reading the entire page, Bob Barnard's eyes were full of shock. The exquisite appearance, large capacity and very long battery life can also be made into various playlists...

"This product is so cool!" Bob Barnard exclaimed, while looking at his two big boxes of CDs, "If I had a Gpod, I could put all my favorite songs in it. "

"I can listen to it for 10 hours without any replacement, it's exciting to think about it!" Bob Barnard said with some excitement.

Then he turned to Diamond Green and asked, "Diamond, where else can I buy it besides Amazon. I'm going to buy a Gpod soon. Amazon still needs to wait for the mail. I can't wait!"

"Best Buy!" Diamond-Green replied, "I saw someone in the forum had it at Best Buy."

"I'm going now!" Bob Barnard picked up his clothes at this time and was about to go out.

Diamond Green quickly grabbed Bob Barnard, "Dude, it's already night, and Best Buy is closed."

Bob Barnard came to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but complained: "Damn it, I think Best Buy's service needs to be improved, why don't they choose to continue to open at night, don't they buy things at night? They should be available 24 hours."

"That's why I choose to buy online." Diamond Green immediately smiled. He likes new things.

Unable to buy a Gpod, Bob Barnard didn't have the intention of burning a blank CD at this time. He immediately said to his friend: "Diamond, I never knew this product before, tell me the story of Gpod."

"No problem, I know this very well." Diamond Green happened to be the melon eater who paid close attention to Eternal Technology and Suoni in the early stage, so he immediately told the ins and outs of the two companies.

At the same time, it also expressed the reaction of some media and online comments after the two new product launches.

Bob Barnard listened with relish from the beginning to the end, and then immediately shouted, "I like the innovative spirit of Eternal Technology. It's a pity that such great products as Gplayer and Gpod cannot be used on Mac systems."

Although the Gpod cannot be used on the Mac system, this did not affect Bob Barnard's enthusiasm. The next day he directly found a reason to ask for leave, just to go to Best Buy to buy a Gpod.

Then he deliberately went to Diamond Green's house and imported the songs that had been converted to MP3 format last night into his Gpod.

Watching Bob Barnard get the Gpod, Diamond Green was also extremely envious. The two tossed about with this small machine for a long time, full of praise.

When he went to work in the afternoon, Bob Barnard even came to the company listening to his Gpod.

The white earphones Bob Barnard was wearing were so conspicuous that he was noticed as soon as he entered the Apple building, and someone came up to ask him immediately.

Bob Barnard saw that someone was attracted by his Gpod, so he couldn't wait to introduce it to his colleagues who asked him, so as to share his joy and excitement.

He also took out the Gpod to show the colleague, which caused the man to exclaim.

Gradually, several people gathered around. Among them, some people knew Gpod, but many people didn't know.

Also because the Gpod has indeed been out for such a short period of time, if they don't pay much attention to the news and the news on the Internet these days, they won't know.

There are also a few people who know about Gpod, but they all saw it on the Internet and haven't had time to make up their minds or find the time to buy it.

In this way, the Gpod that Bob Barnard took out became the first real thing that everyone saw.

Apple is undoubtedly a company that focuses on innovation, so everyone is immediately interested in Gpod with many innovative elements.

Coupled with the gathering of many individuals, the discussion became more and more lively.

At this moment, three people walked up not far away. The leader was tall and thin, with short hair and golden eyes. Seeing that these people were discussing together, he immediately turned to Looking at the people beside him, he asked, "What are they discussing?"

"President, I'll go over and ask." The person on the side immediately asked.

This person is impressively Apple President Steve Jobs.

"Let's go and have a look!" Jobs said as he walked towards the crowd. At this time, the sound of discussions began to reach the ears of Jobs and others.

"Bob, can a Gpod really hold 1000 songs?"

"Of course, I have tried it, and it does have a large capacity of 5G, so there is no problem with loading 1000 songs."

"It's unbelievable that a startup has come up with such a perfect product."

"Yes, this is simply a perfect product. Soni released the MP3 player three days before it was released, but it was completely inferior to Gpod."

"Even the color is so cool, the white earphones are amazing! I love the color."

"Look at the roulette wheel design in the middle, it's a genius wheel idea!"

"And its sound quality is also great. Before this, I always thought that the sound quality of digital music might not be comparable to that of CD."

As Jobs approached the crowd, he immediately heard compliments one after another, which made him extremely curious.

Listening to these people seems to be discussing an MP3 player, 5G capacity? 1000 songs?what is that?
At this moment, another person in the crowd let out a sigh of emotion.

"The only downside to the Gpod is probably that it doesn't work on the iMac."

"Yeah, it's a shame it doesn't work with Macs, and I think iMac users will want something like this."

At this moment, Jobs finally walked into the crowd. He was completely aroused by his curiosity and couldn't help but ask directly:
"What do you mean Gpod?"

"President!" "President!"

Seeing Jobs coming, everyone greeted him one after another, and Bob Barnard quickly picked up the Gpod to show Jobs.

"President, this is Gpod!"

Jobs' eyes fell on the small white machine, and he froze for a moment.
