I am many years in the courtyard

December 1985, Hong Kong Island, Xintiandi Plaza, Apple headquarters.

Today is Apple’s new product launch, and many big names from around the world, as well as media reporters, are here.

They all gathered in the lobby on the fifth floor of the building, which is where Apple often announces important matters or holds major events.

"It is said that Apple is going to make a big move today, but I don't know if it is true?"

"I heard that there is a very novel work. I heard some information from their internal employees. It is definitely breaking news."

"There are many big-name journalists in the news industry here today. Look, the blonde beauty in the front row is the ace of the New York Times, and the white-haired uncle is the reporter of the Global Times. If the news is not big enough, These reporters will never come."

"Hey, I don't know what it is, but it actually attracted so many people."

"How about saying that Apple is awesome? Although the rise of PHS and Huaxing in the past two years has put a lot of pressure on Apple, after all, Apple is still the leading company in the mobile phone industry."

"Looking forward to Apple returning to its peak."

Everyone in the audience was talking a lot and looked very expectant.

Bai Doufu sitting in the audience was purely here to study.

She didn't know what kind of trump card Apple had prepared to defeat PHS and Huaxing.

But it's obvious that Apple is definitely prepared this time.

About a thousand people came to the entire press conference, filling the entire venue.

These are not the most important, because these important guests here today are the focus of Bai Tofu.

In her opinion, the PHS company should have such a strong character next time.

Before the press conference, Bai Doufu asked her father if she could know in advance what Apple's new products would be.

She was rejected by her father without hesitation.

Since it is a competitive relationship, let's sing this scene well.

If it was cheating, there would be no need for Bai Doufu to personally go into battle. He could just send someone randomly to manage the PHS company for many years.

Therefore, Bai Doufu had no choice but to come over in person.

In fact, PHS and Apple are not far apart. Both companies are in Xintiandi Plaza.

There are several super-grade office buildings in this square. These buildings were built to build this square many years ago.

Therefore, the companies that have settled in these office buildings are Rolls-Royce Group, Huimin Supermarket, Apple, PHS and other companies.

When everyone was looking forward to it, the host came on stage and started today's new product launch conference.

With the announcement of the first product, the entire scene was filled with exclamations of exclamation.

Everyone looked at the pictures on the big screen with incredible expressions.

Oh my god, it's actually an MP3 player.

The Walkman, which is as thick as two fingers of an average adult, is very tempting to look at.

This kind of walkman can be put in your pocket at any time, and it doesn't matter if you run around with headphones on.

When Bai Doufu listened to Apple CEO Yi Jianbo introducing the MP3 product on stage, he felt a bit like Auntie Jin.

Of course that's all.

However, when Yi Jianbo introduced that the memory of this MP3 player exceeded 256MB, Bai Doufu suddenly lost his composure.

Because this means that such a product can store dozens of songs.

In Hong Kong today, the Internet has just emerged, but Apple already has an online music player.

It means that Apple can build its own ecosystem, from computers to mobile phones and other products, and now MP3, which means that Apple will form a closed loop.

hiss!

As if she was blessed in her soul, Bai Doufu suddenly understood what her father said before.

Now it seems that her father's expectations for Apple are not generally high.

A killer device like MP3 is definitely an epoch-making product for many consumers, but it is a huge blow to friendly businesses.

At this moment, Bai Doufu wanted to run home and discuss with her father whether there were any other black technology products?

Because it is obvious that Apple is too powerful, and PHS and China Renaissance may not be able to withstand it.

After all, MP3 is already so powerful, so Apple’s mobile phones will definitely be even stronger, right?

Media reporters do not know much about technology, and what Yi Jianbo introduced was not all technical, because he knew what the scene was like today.

Therefore, when he introduces things, he uses the simplest language to describe them, so that everyone can understand them as much as possible, and he must be very competent.

Therefore, his language is extremely inflammatory and seductive.

For example, when introducing the sound quality of MP3 headphones, he would say: Put on our headphones, and you will find that they are the best headphones in the world, and they can bring you the ultimate music enjoyment.

"Our engineers spent eighteen months to build such a product, and there were as many as 897 testing projects alone."

Many consumers who hear such words for the first time will definitely be confused.

Because it is indeed too inflammatory.

Good guy, I feel like if I don’t buy an MP3 player, I’ll be sorry for the hard work of these engineers.

In addition to such an MP3, it is Apple's blockbuster today.

"What we are going to introduce next is the greatest technology product in the history of our Apple company, which is our iPhone."

"Before introducing this mobile phone, I would like to briefly introduce the mobile phones of our friends."

When I saw the mobile phone pictures on the big screen, there was a burst of laughter.

Because these two mobile phone products are obviously products of PHS mobile phones and Huaxing mobile phones.

Yes, this is really a narrow road for enemies.

Motorola and other mobile phone companies, who were also watching the live TV broadcast, suddenly looked ugly, and then felt powerless again.

Although Apple's press conference, Motorola and other mobile phone brands have not been announced on the big screen.

But in fact, the global mobile phone market is divided between Apple, Huaxing and PHS.

The remaining few percent of the market share is captured by more than a dozen mobile phone companies.

Based on this, people say that the friends are these two companies, and there seems to be nothing wrong with them.

Among them, Apple is the absolute dominant company, and their mobile phone market share currently accounts for 60%.

The remaining 30% is divided between Huaxing Company and PHS Company.

This does not mean that the products of these two companies are not good.

On the contrary, the two of them are rising stars. The fact that they can occupy so much market share in a relatively short period of time shows how competitive their mobile phones are. Bai Doufu looked at the pictures on the big screen and didn't smile.

She didn't know Yi Jianbo's intentions, but it was obvious that PHS was used for comparison.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable, the fact is right in front of me. Apple is indeed much more powerful than PHS.

"Okay, these are the mobile phones of these two friendly manufacturers. Then let's take a look. Why do I say that Apple's products are the greatest products?"

Listening to Yi Jianbo's bragging, Bai Doufu became more and more unhappy. Hum, I will definitely be more awesome than your Apple company next time.

For many years, I didn't know that my daughter had been inspired to fight. If she knew, she would definitely be very happy.

Among his many children, except for the little ones, almost all of them grew up slowly under his protection.

Therefore, whether it is Bai Doufu or Brother Jing, they seem to be very strong, but that is just what the media brags about.

And with the aura of being the richest man in Hong Kong Island for many years, their journey was relatively smooth.

However, putting these factors aside, whether they can still achieve such an achievement is questionable.

But it’s different when you’re little.

There is no doubt about his strength because it is his skill.

Technology is not something like business, it is relatively simple.

The ability of Xiao Doian to pursue the path of scientific research and technology, from nuclear power plants to the current research and development of lithium battery technology, relies not only on his scientific research and technical strength, but also on his own mathematical logical thinking ability, business management ability and other comprehensive abilities.

"As we all know, Huaxing's mobile phones can listen to music, so our Apple mobile phones will definitely not lack this function."

"Of course, this is not the focus of today. The focus is that our iPhone can take photos and videos."

"That's right, our iPhone has a camera built into it."

"With the day-and-night efforts of our engineers, our latest Apple mobile phone can achieve 300,000-pixel photo and video functions, and it can record the beautiful moments of life."

If you hear about a 300,000-pixel mobile phone in many years, you will definitely turn away immediately.

Good guy, if you take out such a mobile phone, he will definitely not want it.

Of course, in the 1980s, being able to take out a mobile phone that could take pictures was definitely a black technology.

You must know that there are no real digital cameras today, and some are just castrated versions of digital cameras.

Therefore, a mobile phone can actually take pictures and record videos, which is definitely the latest trendy mobile phone.

Although it only has 300,000 pixels, it is still top-notch.

When Bai Doufu heard this, his eyes widened.

Although she didn't quite understand the resolution of 300,000 pixels, there was no doubt that such a mobile phone would be very attractive to consumers.

There were also bursts of exclamations at the scene. Everyone did not expect that Apple would actually make a bigger move.

A cell phone that can take pictures, it’s incredible!

Many media reporters took photos and recorded it.

Three hundred thousand pixels are not very clear pixels, but how big is a mobile phone?

Its screen is also very small, and it’s already great if it can take pictures. What else do you need for a bicycle?

Many people were shocked that mobile phones can take pictures.

In addition to taking pictures and listening to music, the two major functions of calculator and radio are also put into Apple mobile phones.

In fact, these two functions are dispensable, but after adding them, they can add two more selling points to the phone.

In fact, the two functions here do not place a heavy load on the mobile phone.

In addition, Apple mobile phones have also upgraded mini games. The three built-in mini games are also more friendly to many consumers.

As we all know, game arcades and home game consoles have begun to rise since the 1970s.

I have invested in several game consoles over the years, and their earning power is not bad at all.

Take Atari, for example. This company launched the Atari 2600 in . In the following year, Atari sold more than million units, setting off a gaming craze.

By 1980, in the Bald Eagle continent at that time, almost every household would have an Atari home game console.

In other words, just one home game console, the Atari 2600, sold more than million units.

It was simply terrifying.

Directly, more than one million invested over many years, finally earned more than three billion US dollars.

Because the profits earned from selling game consoles are as high as more than one billion US dollars, nearly two billion US dollars.

Then many years later, he withdrew his shares from Atari Corporation, slowly withdrew, and recovered more than one billion US dollars.

Blood earned!

The game is very profitable, with very scary profits and profit margins.

So from the beginning, Apple has paid great attention to the gaming experience.

For example, the first laptops would have one or several different games built-in.

Minesweeper, card games, etc., these are the most common games on computers, and they are also quite attractive.

Mobile phones are social tools, but how can there be so many calls to make?

After all, it is impossible for everyone to be a customer service person. They have to answer dozens of calls all day long.

In this case, in addition to its social attributes, mobile phones are also indispensable for entertainment, office, and learning attributes.

These are nothing for many years.

But for many people in this era, it is an explosive design.

More functions also mean that mobile phones are more attractive to consumers, and their desire to buy mobile phones is greater.

Looking at the high-spirited Yi Jianbo on the stage, he was still talking about the functions of the Apple mobile phone, while Bai Doufu had already begun to formulate words, thinking about how to persuade his father to help boost the PHS company when he got home. competitive.

Otherwise, the PHS mobile phone will not be able to withstand the current mobile phone launched by Apple.

Snake, Tetris and Masturbation are three such fun games that have already attracted consumers to their full potential.

Not to mention other functions such as taking pictures, it can be said that Apple mobile phones have already won the game.

As for the music listening function of mobile phones and MP3, which have some overlap, this is a bit interesting.

The phone does not have much memory to store more songs.

MP3 is just a supplement.

What's more, the price of MP3 is much cheaper than that of mobile phones. (End of chapter)
