Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 16 Nokia 7650

  The urban area of ​​New York is not small, and it is really inconvenient to travel without a car.

  Ye Dongqing was really fed up with crowding the subway, and got used to living a comfortable life. She always felt aggrieved by the cramped and cramped environment.

But there is no way, the wealth he has is not enough to buy a slightly better car, he is unwilling to buy bad antique cars, and cannot afford better ones, so he just makes do with the subway and taxis, he does not I don't think I will be poor for long, so I have to endure it for now.

The rent of shops on Fifth Avenue is extremely expensive, and it is considered to be the most expensive shopping district in the world, not even the Champs Elysees in France and Bond Street in the United Kingdom. Rodeo Drive in the United States is also Just a little bit worse.

  Rent is expensive, but it doesn’t mean that everything is expensive.

  Many merchants like to open stores on Fifth Avenue for the sake of publicity. They never thought of selling goods to return their money. It's more like advertising to increase their reputation.

   Unexpectedly, after seeing certain brands with her own eyes, Ye Dongqing discovered some high-quality potential stocks with extremely high returns.

At this time, he was standing in front of ZARA, a fast-moving clothing store. If I remember correctly, the market value of its parent company will exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars at its peak in the future, but compared with the possible return rate of investing in Apple, it is one Big cut.

  It is still 2002. Looking at the next ten years, it seems that there is no industry with a higher and safer return rate than investing in the IT industry. The profit can be hundreds or thousands of times. Traditional industries are not so crazy.

If he puts his heart into creating a company, it is possible to bring tens of thousands of times in return. He has already thought about a rough development idea. At present, he only needs funds and talents to realize the ideas in his mind, so accumulating capital quickly is extremely important. .

  Old Sam hasn't called him yet, worried about missing the opportunity, he didn't dare to turn his phone to silent mode, and was still waiting patiently.

There is more money in the bank card, and the amount is too small to be noticed by the IRS. After entering the ZARA clothing retail store, he first matched two sets of clothes for himself. The jeans were washed to whitish.

The money spent on clothes, food, and transportation is not enough to affect the future development, and he finally lives again. In these aspects, he does not want to treat himself badly. If it is not thinking about Old Sam's small coffers, moving will also be considered He put it on the agenda.

  After changing into new clothes, he was already very happy, but suddenly felt that what people said about "being poor and happy" was exactly what they said. After eating the barbecue buffet, I felt even more satisfied. After paying the bill and going out, I happened to pass by the Nokia mobile phone store, and went in again to look at the new mobile phone like a ghost.

When the clerk was selling the latest mobile phone to him, Ye Dongqing almost couldn't help laughing, mainly because the other party used the adjective "the best mobile phone", as if seeing a primitive man suddenly showing off his stone ax How sharp, the scene is very funny in his eyes.

  In this day and age, the style and function of mobile phones are very bad. Just a few years after the leap from big phones to minicomputers, many people on the street still use "brick phones".

   Just this year, Nokia officially launched the first "smart phone" using the Symbian operating system - the Nokia 7650.

   From today's point of view, the Nokia 7650 is considered advanced, with a slider design and a 300,000-pixel camera.

It was a radical attempt. No company had linked the camera, the operating system, and the mobile phone before. Looking back at the present as a person who has experienced it, Ye Dongqing can only say that Nokia’s development direction is right. And too conceited, leading to the decline of Nokia in the near future.

Holding this year's mobile phone king Nokia 7650 in my hand, I looked at it. There is a joystick similar to a game console handle under the small screen. I can use it to select the program I want to open. It is a very convenient design, but it makes more mobile phones lose their industry. Design beauty.

  At the same time, Apple, which had not set foot in the mobile phone manufacturing industry, had already launched the iPod portable storage player equipped with touch technology.

The current Apple CEO, Mr. Jobs, was implicated for this, and many shareholders once again questioned his ability. In the late 1990s, Apple shareholders asked him to return to take charge of the company. If it hadn’t been for the past five years, Apple’s stock rose by 100%. The seventy or so credits may drive him away again.

   Except for Ye Dongqing, no one knows what the future of all kinds of electronic products will be.

  The concept of "Internet terminal" has just been proposed, and the Symbian operating system indicates that Nokia is developing in this direction.

  Those bigwigs in the technology field with a slightly longer-term vision think that in the future, mobile phones should be able to access the Internet, which can also be said to allow small handheld computers to have the calling function of mobile phones. However, they are still at a loss as to how to do it and whether there is a market for it.

He thinks the Nokia 7650 is not good-looking, and its functions are terrible, but that is not the case in the eyes of ordinary people. Seeing Ye Dongqing's smile, the shopping guide thought he was satisfied with this phone, and said with a smile: "Recently, everyone in the world Out of ten mobile phones sold, 3.5 of them are 7650. Choosing it is definitely the right choice. This mobile phone is different from other mobile phones and is more advanced.

  Little handsome guy, are you going to buy this one directly, or let me recommend other styles for you? Honestly, we don't have a better phone than the 7650 in our stores, including Motorola, Siemens, and others. "

   Except for antique phones, you can’t buy more advanced mobile phones because they haven’t been developed yet.

  There is not much room for choice, Ye Dongqing is not down to the point of picking and choosing products worth two or three hundred dollars, and said straightforwardly: "Just buy it, I am carrying it now, no need to pack it up."

   "Okay sir, please follow me this way, the procedure is very fast..."

   After paying the money and getting the invoice, the staff helped to unpack a new box, checked it on their behalf, and handed it to Ye Dongqing after they found that the phone was fine. The total cost was two hundred and forty-nine dollars.

   I ate barbecue, bought clothes, and a new mobile phone. I didn’t have any interesting places to go. I stood on the side of the road and waved for a yellow taxi, telling the driver where the address was.

  Old Sam over there.

  The old man weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but he was finally intimidated and called the number on the paper.

  He was ready to be extorted a sum of money as a hush money, so that the IRS gave up its preparations to investigate him...
