Chapter 241 Jobs: Reverse, Reverse!
"New York Times": "Huaxia Lu brought Huaxia's 'Apple' and logically broke into America."

"Washington Post": "Lighter, more technological, and cheaper, logical MP3 proves that 'made in China ≠ low quality'."

"Seattle Times": "The ipod crisis! The iron throne of the global personal portable digital audio market ushers in the strongest challenger..."

Countless newspapers, radio stations, and TV networks are making a lot of noise, but they are not as shocking as the sales figures. Weeping ghosts and gods, from the first week of listing on December 12, a total of 20 units were sold, just three days before and after Christmas, with 7.39 3 sets broke the sales record of the MP6.14 market in the United States.

The first batch of 10 units of fantasy 5 with 1 miles were all sold out.

In Sony Music's office, Andy Lack took a deep breath as he picked up the latest issue of Billboard.

"Numb" turned out to be No. [-] on the double charts, topping the Alternative Songs chart and breaking the record of "In the end", ranking No. [-] on the singles chart.

"Billboard's evaluation is to win the sales champion of the week, an undoubted new force of hard rock, but there are also boosts from off-site factors."

The secretary showed disbelief in his eyes, "This off-site factor should be the logic of cooperation. It's really crazy. MP99s with 199 dollars and 3 dollars are actually better than tapes. Hell."

"A tape can only listen to one song, but an MP3 player can listen to countless songs every day."

With a solemn expression, Andy Lak opened the newly downloaded Spotify on the desktop. As soon as the interface appeared, his tense nerves immediately relaxed.

It is not much different from itunes, except for a community chat function, but there is always a sense of foreboding hovering.

He left everything behind, regardless of hardware or software, it's none of my business!

I'm only in charge of the music stall!
However, Apple can't afford to be aloof.

Although the thigh is still a computer, the launch of the iMac G4 is the all-in-one computer with a screen suspended on a semi-circular mainframe base. It is amazing, but it is useless. The stock price fell to $14.33, a 40% loss in a year.

The ipod is Apple's other leg, so don't miss it!
"The metropolitan areas of New York, Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco are all covered with lmusic?"

"Lmusic has a very high sales volume on Amazon and Newegg, and its positive rating exceeds that of our iPod?"

"Internet musical instrument software that supports Windows system, Spotify? fuxk, Microsoft has invested in it!"

"..."

With the feedback from the marketing department that a large number of ipods were unsalable at Christmas, more and more information came out, and Apple executives, including Jobs himself, suddenly realized that a Chinese dragon had quietly crossed the Pacific Ocean and attacked half of the MP3 market.

Reversed, reversed, Huaxia created the Master Eater!

Jobs looked gloomy. The news he received from Doug Morris was only that Microsoft assisted Spotify to compete with ituens, and online McDonald's fought against music vending machines. He never expected that in addition to software, hardware would compete with hardware.

He rudely interrupted the regular meeting, leaving only Riccio, the president of the hardware department, and Jonathan Ivey, the chief designer, by name.

Riccio looked serious, "Steve, it must be a Microsoft conspiracy!!"

Jobs rubbed the stubble on his chin, "According to the information I have, the root of all this is not Microsoft, but logic, that Huaxia Lu connected the record company, Microsoft, retailer, and Amazon together. We do it all under our noses."

"I knew it, I knew it, how could it be possible with Ballmer's ass-like IQ."

Riccio felt the pressure deeply, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Microsoft has found a terrible ally, we are in big trouble now, I don't think ipod2, or even ipod3 has an advantage, do you, Ivy?"

"Yeah~"

Jonathan Ivey frowned. All three of them had seen iPod 3 before, and they knew it well. On the basis of iPod 2, there was an extra delicate touch wheel and dock interface.

In addition, from appearance to performance, it cannot be said that they are exactly the same, or at least they are almost the same.

Jobs remained silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, he tacitly agreed in his heart that if lmusic can blow up ipod2, it can blow up ipod3!

"It's too late to go back to the furnace and redo it. The press conference is at the end of April. What we can do now is to lower the price and support trade-in..."

Riccio had to make a bad move and use the price cut to offset lmusic's price advantage.

Jobs looked directly at the vice president, let go of his previous violent temper, and immediately told him to leave.

But I have already learned a lesson in Macintosh. Because of the high price, Microsoft refused to lower the price, so Microsoft seized the opportunity to launch windows1.0.

Lu Fei is still the first to force him and Apple to reduce prices!
"Whoo~"

Riccio and Jonathan Ivey were relieved to see the dictator's rare compromise.

Jobs squinted his eyes, in addition to lowering prices, he also used black public relations.

Using "made in China" to belittle the brand value of logic, after all, it is recognized that the quality of China's manufacturing is average, there is no core technology, and it is low-end and cheap.

"We don't need to do it ourselves, we can let "Connection" and other magazines do it, they are professional."

Riccio readily agrees that the biggest threat right now is Spotify, which stands in the way of iTunes dominating the digital music market.

"Steve, since you agree that ipod is compatible with Windows, then you agree that itunes is also compatible. Let more non-Mac users use it, but Spotify cannot be compatible with MacOS. This will be our advantage."

Jobs carefully considered and compromised to lower the price, so what else could not be compromised.

After a long while, he nodded, "You have to draw up these plans before the press conference." He said and looked at Jonathan Ivey, "Next time on iPod4, I don't want me to see compromises, you know me mean?"

"Of course!"

Jonathan Ivey replied solemnly that he did not believe that a little logic could overthrow the elephant of Apple, it just happened to take a nap.

………………

"Huaxia is a sleeping dragon. When it wakes up, the whole world will tremble!"

Lu Fei was overjoyed when he received the good news from Sun Hongjun.

Performance, bonuses, year-end bonuses, sales commissions, a bunch of benefits, the advance army must not be short of one, hard work pays more, capable people get more, if you want a horse to run, you must eat grass.

"The United States opened up the situation, and the European and American markets will be fully revitalized, and Europe will also win France, Italy, and Spain..."

Sun Hongjun's tone was full of excitement, and the opportunity to break one million sales was right in front of him.

"Can the supply chain guarantee supply? Can Toshiba and Samsung's NADA flash memory production lines be negotiated?"

Lu Fei got into the Audi car and pinched the Qingming acupoint on the bridge of his nose with two fingers to relieve his fatigue.

"Little Nihong is not very happy, worried that technology will flow into China, Samsung invited us to go to Bangzi Country and talk face-to-face."

Sun Hongjun asked about the specific time of the visit.

"This matter will be put in the next year, and we won't be able to talk about it for a while. I have more important things to do now."

Driven by Wang Ben, Lu Fei came to a warehouse.

During this period of time, he acted as a shopkeeper and devoted his energy to supplies. He lent the Second Hospital of Beijing Medical University the excuse of donating, and prepared 1500 million supplies, including 20 ventilators.

It is all out of pocket, and there is not much money on hand, the bulk is the manuscript fee of the book and the dividends of Qilixiang. If this money is invested, at least 15 courtyard houses, or more than 5% of Moutai stocks.

But is it about money?
I want to make another batch, but I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it because I've stocked up too much.

Halfway through his inspection, he felt a little overwhelmed and ended up going home early.

In the yard, Lu Yun was about to go out in a neat suit, when he saw his younger brother's tired face, he said with concern:
"Second brother, why are you so tired? What have you been up to lately!"

"Hey, busy." Lu Fei waved his hand, vaguely speaking.

"You can't make money, but you only have one life. Why do you work so hard?" Lu Yun dragged him into the bedroom, feeling distressed.

"The fate of many people is tied to me, and I can't let them down."

Lu Fei grinned weakly, took off his clothes and lay on the bed. In fact, he concealed one thing, and even the fate of the country may have his share.

"Soak some glucose and drink it while it's hot."

Xiao Hongmei held a bowl of pale yellow water, "Why don't I accompany you to bid for the Spring Festival Gala, and I'll stay and take care of A Fei?"

"I'll be fine once I sleep, and besides, there's Brother Wang."

After Lu Fei finished his drink, he yawned and urged them to go on the road, and come back with another Spring Festival Gala bid king, and then fell asleep with the whole body, posing with the word "too".

Xiao Hongmei retreated out of the room, worried, "We still have to keep someone, we women are more careful about some things."

"Why don't you ask Hailu?" Lu Yun thought about the bad business of the hot pot restaurant, so she should have time.

Xiao Hongmei pondered for a moment, "I'm here to make this call."
