The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 385, two giants facing each other tit for tat
September 1979 was a special month because Apple Company in California would hold a new product launch conference, while China Resources Corporation in Hong Kong Island would also hold a new product launch conference.

The two companies released them almost at the same time, within two days.

This time of year is not only a carnival for agents, but also a carnival day for the media industry. It is also the favorite month for consumers.

Especially this year, the media has revealed a long time ago that the new product launch conference in September this year will definitely be far better than before, and the new products will definitely be the most special and epoch-making technology products.

North America, Apple headquarters in California.

A lot of people came to today's press conference. The entire venue could only accommodate 3,500 people. As a result, more than 10,000 people came. A large part of them were ordinary consumers who had not received invitations, so they could only stand. Waiting outside the venue.

Even outside the venue, Apple provided several large screens to broadcast the conference content live.

At the scene, reporters from traditional media such as the Wall Street Journal, as well as reporters from CBS, North American Broadcasting Corporation, the Public Broadcasting Service, NBC and other television stations, also set up long-range and short-term weapons.

Among these groups of reporters, Apple journalists are the most special because they are employees of Apple's subsidiaries, so they stand directly in the C position.

There are also new media that compete with traditional media: New Culture Forum, Mars Forum, etc., as well as self-media bloggers, etc. were also invited to the scene.

As the president of Apple, Hobbs Kittridge has been at the helm of the company for eleven years, but until now, he is still unfamiliar with the shareholders behind Apple.

It is very clear to the outside world that he is just a professional manager and can be replaced at any time.

Of course, he has been on the stage of Apple's press conference for ten years, and everyone is quite familiar with him.

Therefore, without any special circumstances, the board of directors will definitely not dismiss him at will.

Today's heavyweight press conference is still hosted by him.

"ladies and gentlemen."

The opening remarks are still the same old rhetoric, and there is not much freshness.

After some greetings, Hobbs Kittridge, who successfully amused the audience with his humorous language, finally got to the point.

The first product he introduced was surprisingly one of Apple's flagship products: a computer!
"This is an epoch-making computer product that will redefine computers and will certainly be the industry benchmark for electronic products."

A series of super bluffing words aroused the attention of everyone present.

Many viewers who were sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast of the press conference also stared intently, for fear of missing any pictures or words.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen. This is the latest product launched by Apple this year: the ultra-thin computer iMac!"

hiss!
Along with Hobbs Kittridge's words, a computer photo was displayed on the big screen behind him.

When this photo is displayed, it looks exactly like a notebook book, very, very thin.

"This is the top view and side view of the ultra-thin computer iMac. Is what you see exactly the same as what I just said? It is actually a book."

It's 13.3 inches in size. It's certainly very small. It looks like a book.

And it is indeed very thin, but it is just a display screen. The host is still just as thick, but this thickness is also relative.

Because it is perfectly built and full of futuristic technology.

In terms of performance, it is actually the first generation Power Macintosh in the history of the original time and space, but in terms of appearance design, it is already the first generation iMac.

A monitor, keyboard, mouse, and host computer are all four components that make up a computer.

Just the appearance full of technology is enough to make many consumers excited.

The first-generation iMac computer is actually the shell of the original time and space in the early millennium, but it is more refined and has a stronger sense of future science fiction.

"Our ultra-thin computer iMac will be available in three different versions. The regular version has a memory capacity of 256MB and a hard drive capacity of 1GB and is priced at US$1999."

Hobbs Kittridge spoke confidently on the stage, introducing the three versions and prices of the ultra-thin computer iMac.

In fact, detailed parameters, prices, etc. are displayed on the big screen behind him.

In addition to the regular version, there are also Plus and Max versions, with different prices and parameters.

For example, the Plus version has a memory capacity of 512MB, a hard drive capacity of 16GB, and a price of US$2999.

As for the Max version, the memory capacity is 1GB, the hard drive capacity is 64GB, and the price is US$4999.

The reason why different versions are provided is to take care of the needs of different users.

Some people just use it for ordinary entertainment, working from home, etc., and do not have high performance requirements for computers.

But some people want to play games and need better picture quality and gaming experience, so they must have better performance parameters. These contents can be found in Internet forums.

At this time, the number of Internet users in North America is close to over 100 million, and this data has completely exploded the original time and space.

Because in the original history of time and space, the number of Internet users in North America exceeded 100 million in 1999.

In other words, this time and space has been advanced twenty years.

It can be seen that the butterfly effect brought about by the wings of Chen Guohua, the Amazon butterfly, is already very, very large.

At this time, Apple launched such an ultra-thin computer, iMac, which is actually very suitable for this era.

However, the number of Internet users in the mainland has not yet exceeded 10,000, while the number of Internet users in Europe, Tokyo, Hong Kong Island and other places is very different from that of 1999 in the original time and space.

Now that the reform has been advanced, I believe that within a few years, the number of Internet users in the mainland will definitely catch up.

After Hobbskittridge finished introducing the ultra-thin computer iMac, he next introduced the second flagship product: a mobile phone!

The product that Apple started out with was its Big Brother mobile phone. However, in today’s global market, Apple’s mobile phones are still not as good as those of China Resources. It will take time to challenge the other company’s leading position.

Perhaps, this current mobile phone can do this.

"The smartphone I have in my hand is the most advanced electronic technology product that Apple has spent five years building. The unparalleled metal texture is just a standard feature and is Apple's consistent product pursuit."

No one knows how long it took Hobbs Kittridge on the stage to memorize the contents of these speeches, which were close to advertising slogans.

But there is no doubt that the effect is great because everyone's attention is focused on his side.

This mobile phone is equivalent to the Nokia 9000 product released by Nokia in in the original history of time and space.

It can send and receive emails through the Internet, and the phone is also equipped with a full keyboard design. In today's era, it can be said to be a very eye-catching and advanced design.

Such an epoch-making mobile phone made everyone in the audience and the TV audience exclaim again and again.

How should China Resources respond?

The struggle between the two giants began almost as soon as Apple established in 1969 that it would release new products in March and September every year.

From the beginning, Apple was a small shrimp to China Resources and was not worth paying attention to.

But now, although China Resources still occupies the world's largest electronic product market share, it is a leading company, but it does not dare to underestimate Apple.

The two sides are often compared together by the media, which does not take it too seriously.

Everyone is watching to see when Apple overthrew China Resources.

Apple's latest mobile phone is called the ninth generation of Apple. As of now, Chen Guohua still has not come up with the title iPhone because he still has to wait for the smartphone era to use it.

The ninth-generation Apple mobile phone is not expensive, but it is also divided into three versions: basic, Plus and Max, corresponding to three different prices of 999, 1299 and 1699 respectively.

"The next third product is a super product that we at Apple have been honing for ten years, and it is also our first major product to enter this market."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Hobbs Kittrich did not end the press conference, but instead introduced the third product with a solemn expression.

Good guy, there are always surprises, right?

Don’t you want today’s consumers to still have money in their pockets?

There is really no need to worry about this, because whether consumers have money in their pockets can be determined by looking at sales.

Capitalist countries such as Europe and the United States have economic crises almost every once in a while, and they say that ordinary people have no money. But over the years, have China Resources' products ever been unsaleable?

There will always be people who are unemployed and there will always be people who find jobs.

When someone has no money, it is because some people have made money away.

Soon, along with Hobbs Kittrich's voice, the full picture of the product was displayed on the big screen.

In an instant, everyone looked surprised.

why?
Because this product is actually a reduced version of a mobile phone, somewhat similar to the previous PHS mobile phone, but more sci-fi in design, and it is not a mobile phone, but a player based on audio compression technology.

Commonly known as MP3, but it is now called Apple iPod.

“With this product, users can download the songs they want to listen to through their computers.”

"There are three different versions in total. The basic version has a memory capacity of 128MB, can download about 599 songs, and is priced at US$."

In addition, there is an advanced version with a memory capacity of 512MB, which can download about fifty songs, and the price is $759.

And the 1GB high-end version, which can download more songs, is more expensive, reaching $1259.

Obviously it has the same memory capacity as the high-end version, but the price is five hundred dollars more expensive. That's because its headphones and other other features will be upgraded, so the price will naturally be more expensive.

After Hobbs Kittridge introduced all the contents of this product, the audience fell silent.

Hey guys, music player?
Doesn’t it mean that the previous tape player will not be needed in the future?

In this way, this is completely targeted at the Huayue Mobile Walkman product produced by China Resources Company in 1968, but it is not completely targeted.

Just because the price of Apple's iPod is too expensive. Even the basic model costs US$599, while the high-end model is as high as US$1259.

Crazy!

It’s just about listening to music. Can’t a computer listen to music?

Also, is it not possible to listen to music on the Huayue Walkman? Moreover, the price of the Huayue Walkman has now dropped to the retail price of US$79, which is US$20 lower than the US$99 price eleven years ago.

"Is Apple trying to develop the high-end market?"

Many people have thought that after two days, they will find out that this guess is the truth.

After Apple's press conference lasted for nearly three hours, it finally came to an end.

There are three products in total, and each product is very awesome and very attractive.

Especially for ordinary consumers, they want to buy all three products, but for users with limited wallets, they have to struggle for a while.

However, on the second day of the press conference, there were long lines in front of almost every Apple store in major cities across the United States.

Many people came and waited in line at the door early in the morning. Some people even prepared tents and food early, and even bought diapers.

why?
Because they didn't want to be jumped in line, they made these preparations.

Several staff members from Rodrigo Studio appeared on the busiest street of Manhattan in New York at 4 o'clock in the morning, and directly captured the long queue at the entrance of the Apple store next to Times Square at 4 o'clock in the morning. .

Although it was only four o'clock in the morning, the long queue had already occupied the entire block, and it was impossible to see the end.

Such a shocking scene was faithfully recorded by the camera and uploaded to the Mars Forum in real time. The title of the post was: Have you ever seen Times Square in New York at four o'clock in the morning?
The confused night owl netizen opened this post and was very confused when he saw the photo.

It was not until the explanation in the post that everyone realized that this was about the queues at Apple stores.

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, God, how could someone be so crazy?"

"What are Apple stores? Why do they like to queue up so much?"

"It's just spending money to buy electronic products. As for getting up early and queuing up so exaggeratedly? Isn't it possible that Apple's Gigafactory can't produce it?"

“My boss couldn’t even get me to get up and queue up at four in the morning, but I really liked the music player that Apple released yesterday. I loved it so much that I couldn’t sleep at all, so I came over and queued up, but I didn’t expect that there were many people who came earlier than me, there must be hundreds of people in front of me, right?”

"New York at four in the morning: homeless people, beautiful night skies and a group of like-minded Apple fans"

This post posted by Rodrigo Studio had over a thousand comments in less than ten minutes.

You know, it's four o'clock in the morning local time in North America. Even in California, it's already one o'clock in the morning.

At such a late hour, I was able to get over a thousand comments in such a short time.

So, in the past ten minutes, at least tens of thousands of people have viewed this post, maybe even more.

Horror!
The appeal of Apple's products to ordinary consumers can be seen from here.

Not only the Mars Forum, but also other Internet platforms such as the New Culture Forum, many people have reported these things.

At five or six in the morning, many people who got up early to go to work discovered these long lines of people.

For example, the staff of Qianduoduo Supermarket must get up early and go to the supermarket to prepare for the opening at 7 o'clock.

After all, Qianduoduo Supermarket's products are very comprehensive. Fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, etc. are all products that many nearby consumers often purchase.

"It's really crazy. It's just electronic products. Why do you get up so early?"

Jessica, who is already the supervisor of Qianduoduo Supermarket, has entered middle age, and her daughter Margaret is almost an adult.

Jessica has been divorced several times in the past ten years and is now living alone with her fourteen-year-old daughter Margaret and eight-year-old son Anthony.

When she complained like this, she forgot that her daughter didn't go home last night. The reason she told her was that she spent the night at a classmate's house.

In fact, her daughter Margaret was in the team not far away in front of her, sleeping soundly in the tent.

"Haha, Jessica, you didn't know this. Young people like these trends the most. You need to know how advanced Apple's products are now."

The colleague next to him echoed, which immediately brought back Jessica's memories.

It seems that more than ten years ago, in 1962, she and her then-boyfriend John went shopping at Sears Department Store after get off work. They saw an advertisement for Marilyn Monroe at the time and listened to the Hua Hin radio. , purchased this product on the spot.

She was also young at that time, so she also pursued trends.

However, time has passed and things have changed.

How can a middle-aged single woman with a life full of troubles and busy working for a few taels of silver every day have the leisure and leisure to pursue these trends?

After laughing for a moment, Jessica woke up from her memories. There were no poems and distant places in her life, only the immediate support for her family.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Qianduoduo Supermarket officially opened for business. Jessica had been busy for more than an hour, while her daughter Margaret was still sleeping soundly.

At around eight o'clock, Margaret and her friend had already gotten up, went to the toilet and had breakfast respectively.

Now we are just waiting for the Apple store to open.

By 8:50, Apple store staff have arrived to prepare for the next business.

At nine o'clock, the door just opened, and all the customers in line crowded into the store.

The originally empty specialty store was filled in an instant.

"It's not our turn yet?"

Margaret, who was in the middle of the queue, stood on tiptoes and looked ahead, wishing she could enter the store immediately.

She and two of her classmates were won over by Apple products.

In order to buy Apple computers, they had actually started saving money early, and even worked part-time at McDonald's during the previous winter and summer vacations.

As a result, this time, after seeing the Apple iPod, I immediately changed my mind.

What kind of computer is it? It’s not as powerful as Apple’s iPod.

After all, the computer is only placed at home, not as good as the iPod that can be carried around and listen to music.

Although you can also listen to songs on the Huayue Walkman, you need a tape, while the iPod can be downloaded directly from the computer, which is so convenient.

Generally speaking, a tape is like an album, but for young people, the songs they like are relatively mixed. Therefore, it is very simple to download songs from the computer. You can download the songs of whomever you want to listen to and mix and match freely. How fun it is.

Margaret's two classmates were also very anxious, and so were the others behind them.

At this moment, the sound of propellers came from not far away, and from far to near, a helicopter soon appeared.

That was a helicopter sent by CBS, just to broadcast live and report on the great sales of Apple stores.

Apart from anything else, this treatment alone shows how powerful Apple is in North America.

This is not something that Apple proactively asked CBS to do, but that their TV station wanted to take advantage of the popularity.

The hot topic in the news these days is the war in the Middle East. I'm almost tired of watching it. Maybe a change of style can improve the ratings.

There are many TV stations in the United States, and competition is very high.

If we don't take some measures, I'm afraid it will always be like this.

As time went by, the footage captured from the helicopter was broadcast live, letting TV viewers across the United States know about this grand event.

From New York to Boston, to Washington, Miami, Chicago, to Los Angeles, Seattle, etc., queues of varying degrees have appeared in major cities across the United States.

Apple has really made a lot of money this time!

"Finally we are here, Doggy."

Margaret and the other three girls went straight to the store and rushed to the iPod experience area as soon as they walked in.

There are three versions of iPods with different prices. Originally I just wanted to buy the basic version of Margaret, but after trying three iPods with different prices, I suddenly became confused.

The funds they have prepared are sufficient, after all, the price of a computer is nearly two thousand US dollars.

However, the reason why they are struggling is because the price of the 1GB high-end iPod has reached US$1259, which is indeed a bit expensive.

People are greedy, and they want both.

Just because the three of them have a combined capital of more than 6,000 US dollars, if the three of them only buy basic iPods, then the remaining funds can be used to jointly purchase another computer.

But once all three of them buy high-end iPods, there won't be enough money left.

Why do you have to stick to the high-end version of iPod?
First, the memory capacity of the high-end iPod is 1GB, and you can download many songs, but downloading requires money. After all, the patent protection in North America is still very good.

If you just listen to songs on your computer and don't need to download them, then it's okay. You only need to watch ads and you can listen to songs for free.

This is what Margaret and the others did in the past. After all, they didn't have computers before, so they usually went to Internet cafes.

Although they are only little kids of thirteen or fourteen years old, girls develop early, and Internet cafes have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain since the emergence of Huashuo Computer.

Especially in recent years, with the popularization of computers, the number of Internet users has soared, and there have been more Internet cafes.

Second, the sound quality of the headphones of the high-end version of iPod is very good, which is still somewhat different from the basic and plus models.

For a little girl, it is certain to be prudent with money, but it is certain to love beauty and show off.

That's why they are so confused.

"How about this, let's buy the high-end version first, then we can work part-time, and then we can buy a computer?"

Finally, after discussing for a while, in order not to leave any regrets and not want to replace the iPod in the future, they decided.

All three bought high-end iPods, and the others also bought this model.

Apple didn't expect that so many users would choose to buy high-end iPods, but the number of users who bought the basic and plus models was relatively small.

The first day is over, and Apple quickly got the sales data across the United States.

To everyone's surprise, the best-selling product was supposed to be mobile phones, but the sales volume of iPod turned out to be far ahead.

You know, this is an expensive iPod, and its function is just to listen to music.

In just one day, the sales data of all iPod series in North America was 2.07 million units, refreshing history.

The sales volume of mobile phones was only 1.12 million, which was surpassed by iPod by a lot.

Secondly, the sales volume of the ultra-thin computer iMac reached 630,000 units, and the data is even more average.

However, this is just the first day of data.

There was not much stock of these products, so starting from the next day, all products were sold out and could only be purchased on a subscription basis.

Some users even wanted to directly buy the experience machine in the store, which caused the store clerk to explain it carefully several times every day, which made those users give up the idea.

Apple's data was quickly made public and the whole world knew about it.

"Hey, grab the money!"

"Whether it's an iPod, Apple's ninth-generation mobile phone, or an ultra-thin computer iMac, the sales are terrible. How much money do you have to make?"

"God, is this Apple? How should China Resources respond?"

The media almost enjoys the excitement and enjoys studying these data.

The data reported by many TV stations are data analyzed by a financial analyst on Wall Street, or compiled by Bloomberg News.

You know, Apple is not a listed company. What is Wall Street trying to do?
Naturally, it is to gain popularity, divert public attention, hype up technology stocks, etc. These are the reasons.

Apple is not willing to go public, but there are many related listed technology stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Once they become popular, many investors will rush to buy the shares of these technology stocks. In this way, Wall Street Wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money?

In the past half year, many financial companies on Wall Street have suffered heavy losses due to the oil crisis.

Now of course I have to make up for it.

So what can we do if we don’t take advantage of the excitement surrounding the release of new products by Apple and China Resources?

Although the data is only estimated and guessed by Bloomberg, it is not very different from the actual data calculated by Apple.

In other words, in just one day, Apple made about three to four billion US dollars.

Earning three to four billion US dollars a day, what crazy data.

And this is only sales data in North America, not counting data in other regions around the world.

In New York, in a relatively cheap but actually quite expensive apartment building near Manhattan on the border with Queens, Margaret put away her high-end iPod before returning home.

When she opened the door and walked into the living room, she saw her mother Jessica and her brother sitting on the sofa watching TV. The content playing on the TV was a TV series that was very popular recently.

After briefly greeting her mother and brother, Margaret hid in her room.

Adolescent girls have their own privacy, and Jessica doesn't pay too much attention to it.

For Margaret, she was extremely happy these past two days.

Owning a high-end iPod, she became one of the most popular people on campus. There were not many students in the school who owned iPods, but she and her classmates all owned them.

They even severely humiliated the female classmates who had looked down on them before.

Margaret, who was hiding in her room, couldn't wait to take out her iPod as soon as she entered the door, ready to listen to music while doing her homework.

As a result, not long after, her mother Jessica suddenly opened the door and came in, holding fruit in her hand.

So the iPod she bought was discovered by her mother even after hiding it for two days.

The mother and daughter had a big quarrel, and Margaret's good mood disappeared instantly.

Although Jessica no longer pursues trends, she also knows the price of iPods. She did not expect that her daughter actually contributed to the more than two million sales reported in the news.

And she has to work at Qianduoduo Supermarket every day. Although she is a supervisor, her salary is not very high, just over two thousand dollars.

With a monthly salary of more than two thousand US dollars, she still needs to pay taxes, rent, water and electricity, as well as tuition and living expenses for her daughter and son, etc., so there is not much money left.

Living in the big city of New York, Jessica doesn't want to lower her quality of life, so life will of course be relatively tight.

However, Jessica did not expect that her daughter would actually buy an iPod without telling her.

What to buy? Why do you have to buy these expensive electronic technology products?
Electronic products are updated so quickly. For example, the Hua Hin radio that Jessica bought more than ten years ago has been thrown away by her long ago.

Margaret argued hard and did not give in because the money to buy the iPod was earned by her part-time job, so she had the power to control the money.

Adolescent girls are rebellious, and even Jessica has no good solution.

In this way, since the quarrel that day, Margaret can use the iPod openly.

This made her brother Anthony so envious that he pestered his sister all day long, wanting to listen to the song.

Hong Kong Island, China Resources Corporation headquarters.

On the third day after Apple's press conference, China Resources' press conference is about to begin.

Agents, reporters, and consumers from different countries and regions around the world all came to Hong Kong Island, and the lively scene was no different from a few years ago.

It can even be said that it is more lively than the previous two years.

Over the past few years, China Resources has made a lot of contributions to the hotel industry on Hong Kong Island.

Just because of the new product launches held twice a year, it attracts people from all over the world and improves Hong Kong Island's tourism status.

At the same time, because of China Resources, the Hong Kong government also saw business opportunities and naturally vigorously developed the tourism economy and built public infrastructure such as subways and buses.

If London wants to make money, the Governor of Hong Kong must also obey London's orders. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Hong Kong government to build Hong Kong Island well.

For example, initiatives such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the MTR planning, and the undersea tunnel launched more than ten years ago have made a lot of contributions to the economy of Hong Kong Island.

In the general manager's office, Cao Xiwen was reading relevant reports from North America, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Last year, Song Xuyan resigned from his position as general manager of China Resources Corporation and went to work in Beijing.

The general manager of China Resources Corporation is the easiest position to be promoted, although Song Xuexian began to serve as general manager in 1966 and did not step down until 1978, a total of 12 years.

But even so, Song Preface could be regarded as reaching the sky in one step and entered the capital directly.

There are even rumors that after Zhang Jihan retires, his position will be filled by Song Xuexian.

why?
Because Song Preface did a good job and was able to implement Chen Guohua's suggestions very well when he was on Hong Kong Island. In addition, he was also more exposed to high-tech products, so it was most suitable for him to take over this position. But that's it.

Of course, if he takes over this position, he will not be led by Chen Guohua like before.

Rather, they are at the same level and can be regarded as colleagues.

In the past, when Qiu Zongyue was still there, Chen Guohua was a complete subordinate. When Zhang Jihan and Chen Guohua worked with him, they were more like colleagues.

Moreover, Chen Guohua is an old colleague and Zhang Jihan is a new colleague.

The job relationship between leaders and subordinates is in name only.

If it were a Song preface, the situation might be even more different.

After Song Xuyan resigned, the position of general manager of China Resources Corporation was held by Cao Xiwen.

Although Cao Xiwen has only been on the job for less than two years, he has been the deputy general manager of China Resources for five years.

So he took over the handover very quickly, and there was no turmoil in China Resources.

And this year, he is only serving as the general manager of China Resources for the second year, and the deputy general manager has already been selected.

Yuan Bingzhang, a second-generation red man from the capital.

Although he is a second-generation red man, Yuan Bingzhang was still Cao Xiwen's soldier when he was in the army. Judging from this, the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

For this reason, Cao Xiwen was also very relieved about Yuan Bingzhang.

If there are no surprises, after Cao Xiwen, the position of general manager of China Resources Company will belong to Yuan Bingzhang.

"Haha, they probably don't know that we are behind Apple."

Yuan Bingzhang, who was sitting opposite Cao Xiwen, was also looking through the information. However, before Yuan Bingzhang finished speaking, Cao Xiwen glared at him:
"Are you talking nonsense again? But watch your mouth, be careful of trouble coming out of your mouth."

"Captain Cao, it's just you and me here, what are you afraid of?"

"You brat, your wings are stiff, right? Have you forgotten the military confidentiality regulations?"

Cao Xiwen became serious, and Yuan Bingzhang immediately surrendered.

Although Cao Xiwen is his old boss and current superior leader, Yuan Bingzhang is not bad either, and the relationship behind him far exceeds that of Cao Xiwen.

However, Yuan Bingzhang still respected Cao Xiwen very much, so he did not continue to smile playfully.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them stopped reading the information and decided to go to the press conference.

Today's press conference was very lively, surpassing the grand occasion at Apple's headquarters in North America two days ago.

As time passed, the restless press conference suddenly became quiet. The host came on stage and invited Cao Xiwen to the stage with a few words of greeting.

Unlike Song Xuexian who doesn't like to show off, Cao Xiwen's background is not strong enough, so he can only rely on himself.

And for important occasions like press conferences, its effect is already very impressive.

And he also needs to deepen his understanding of technological products through occasions such as press conferences.

Therefore, he personally hosted the press conference to introduce China Resources' products to global users.

In response to Apple's provocative behavior, China Resources also launched many heavyweight products this time.

"A friend of mine just held a press conference two days ago, and there are three excellent products. I also like their company's products, and according to news reports, their sales are very good."

Cao Xiwen, who just came on stage, said with a smile. Those who didn't know it thought he had a good relationship with Apple.

Everyone at the scene found it very interesting. They listened to Cao Xiwen’s speech with great interest, and at the same time they were even more looking forward to China Resources’ next products.

"Since everyone can't wait, let's not say much and start introducing our first product of China Resources."

As one of Huashuo Computer's flagship products, it must have a good reputation.

From a performance perspective, there is not much difference between Huashuo Computer and Apple's iMac. It is probably just the difference in chips, etc. The memory, hard drive, etc. are almost the same.

But in terms of appearance, Huashuo Computer is more aesthetically pleasing and embodies future technology. It feels like a lot of black technology has been used in the appearance design.

In the early years, the latest version of the electronic dictionary had already used metal casings in different colors of ivory white, sapphire blue, mint color, and Xiangfei color.

The same is true for today's Huashuo computers, and the metal casings made in these colors are more beautiful and have a better metal feel.

However, in terms of price, Huashuo Computer is $200 to $500 cheaper than Apple's various versions.

It's almost customary.

Therefore, the computer part does not surprise consumers too much. It can only be said that Huashuo computers are more cost-effective and have more color choices.

Many media and users who wanted to watch the excitement were immediately disappointed after seeing Cao Xiwen introduce Huashuo Computer.

Because this is difficult to cause a big blow to Apple.

Moreover, Apple's ultra-thin computer iMac sold only 630,000 units on the first day, far behind the ninth-generation Apple mobile phone and iPod music player.

So it’s nothing to see.
