Chapter 413 I'm so hot! ! !

"Youran, William, come here and see what good things Dad brought back for you!" Li Zetian shouted into the room when he returned home.

Upon hearing something good, Youran and William immediately ran downstairs.

"Dad, what a good thing!" Leisurely came to Li Zetian, looking around, a pair of beautiful big eyes sparkled.

Li Zetian was speechless. Doesn't a girl know how to restrain herself and be quiet?Well, William is still calm.

At this time, William saw three identical and exquisite boxes under the coffee table, and couldn't wait to reach out to get them.

"Wow, Apple iPod!!!" William shouted excitedly.William is an Apple fan, and the room is full of various Apple products.

You Ran couldn't help but pick up a box, and asked curiously, "What is an Apple iPod?"

Li Zetian said to the two of them angrily, "Go and see for yourself!!"

These two bears...

Li Zetian shook his head, took the last box and sent it to Yu Jingqiu.

Beautiful and sophisticated, the iPod immediately captured everyone's hearts.

The next day, both William and Youran brought their iPods to school, which caused a sensation in the school. The students asked what an iPod was, and the two of them were so proud!
"This is the iPod music player developed by Apple, and it's not on the market yet!"

"Currently only a few people own it!"

"..."

It aroused the envy and hatred of everyone.

Inadvertently, the iPod was exposed, but it was already popular before it was released. Various iPod news appeared on the Internet, just like the previous life of the new iPhone, before the release of the new iPhone, there were various hypes on the Internet.

In a blink of an eye, on March 3st, Apple held the iPod product conference. The conference was a sensation.

Jobs, in a gray top and jeans, was always dressed like this, even for important press conferences.

The conference scene was brightly lit, and Jobs walked slowly onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Apple's product launch event. I'm Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO!"

"Today is an important day. Apple will officially release an epoch-making product, which is the iPod music player!"

Jobs was passionate, and like an orator, everyone was infected by his emotions.

Li Zetian sat in the first row under the stage and nodded secretly. At this time, Jobs already had a trace of his previous life's demeanor!

Jobs began to introduce the iPod in detail, and at the same time, the huge LCD screen lit up.

"Look, everyone, this is the iPod, an iPod like a beautiful work of art!!!"

There was a smile on the corner of Li Zetian's mouth. Jobs really did not hesitate to praise the products he participated in designing.

At this moment, the audience in the audience were impressed by the exquisite design of the iPod.

"Apple's designs are always so beautiful and fashionable!" A guest thought to himself.

Jobs went on to introduce: "As you can see, the iPod music player is small and exquisite, very convenient to carry! But it is not a traditional flash memory MP3, but a genuine hard disk MP3! Yes, this is incredible, among you Many people can't believe it, because the hard disk MP3 players on the market are very 'huge'. If you use a human analogy, then the iPod music player is a slender and small bird, while other hard disks on the market MP3, but a big fat man!"

As soon as Jobs finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter. This metaphor is too unique and vivid...

Li Zetian almost burst out laughing.

Well, Jobs also has such a humorous side.

Jobs had to pause, and waited for everyone to stop laughing, and then continued to introduce: "iPod has a storage space of 100M, which can hold dozens of firsts! In addition, here, I will introduce the functions and functions of iPod grandly. The difference."

After speaking, a screen appeared on the LCD screen, which was the interface of the iTunes music store.

Jobs pointed to this picture and said loudly: "Look, everyone, this is the iTunes software built into the iPod music player. Users can download their favorite songs on it, and each song is very cheap, as long as $0.99. Much cheaper than buying music CD albums for us!!"

Following Jobs' introduction, the audience was amazed.

When the press conference ended, everyone couldn't help but feel unsatisfied.

Immediately thereafter, many dealers and retail giants contacted Jobs, intending to order a batch of iPods.

Although the price of the iPod is not cheap, it is not expensive either, retailing for $125.

The next day is April 4st, the iPod is officially on sale worldwide!

Apple has its own flagship store, and Li Zetian's supermarkets or department stores, Amazon.com, eBay, Alibaba.com, etc. are all iPod sales channels.

Countless users have already had iPods, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited until the iPod was released.

Early in the morning, long queues lined up in front of Apple's flagship stores around the world, with hundreds of thousands of people, the scene was extremely shocking! ! !

There are a dozen bodyguards around to maintain order.

A new young bodyguard was full of surprise: "There are so many people!"

An old bodyguard said lightly: "It's normal, I'm used to it. This is always the case when Apple releases new products every year!"

……

There are already a lot of people shopping online. In less than 10 minutes, more than 40 iPods were sold on the Amazon website, and 28 iPods were sold on the eBay website.

It's really hot!
However, when you think about it, this is normal.

In fact, the popularity of the iPod did not happen overnight. You must know that Apple had previously launched the tape-Walkman, then the CD-Walkman, and then the MP3-Walkman. It already had a fan base for three generations of products. Fans snapped up like crazy!
In the early hours of the night, Apple roughly counted the sales volume, which was as high as 500 million units.

My god, this is to scare the baby!

How embarrassing is this for other MP3 companies!

During the daytime of the next day, Apple's official website announced yesterday's sales volume, which shocked the industry, caused a sensation in the media, and caused heated discussions around the world.

"Apple's iPod is so popular? Is it really that good to sell 500 million units a day, so many people buy it?"

"Apple is awesome!"

"Yeah, what an awesome Apple company!!!"

"Isn't it just $125? My brother reluctantly bought one and gave it to my sister!"

"The friend upstairs is really wise. The iPod is definitely an artifact to please your girlfriend! I'm afraid there will be a show tonight, but you must take safety measures, hehe..."

"Fuck, I'm going to buy an iPod too! Go to Super [-] tonight!!!"

"..."

The iPod music player continues to explode, and the family is happy and the family is sad. Other MP3 player products are miserable, and basically no one buys them. The iPod has become a fashion, and it is extremely popular in the circle of students, white-collar workers, and celebrities. If you use another MP3 player instead of an iPod, you will definitely be laughed at.

"Look at that person wearing a Sony player, so old-fashioned!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"If it were me, I would rather not bring it out, how embarrassing! At most, I will wear it at home..."

"..."
