1991 Starting from the core

"In fact, in addition to market purchasing power, the success of our launch event also benefited from cost control in the production process, which made our overall costs extremely competitive. Moreover, vidoo's impact on the market does not end there. "

Su Yuanshan took out a fax from his briefcase and handed it to Jobs: "This is what we just received this morning, statistics on price reductions from other domestic brands. As you can see from this table, no matter what brand or model, After the release of vidoo5M, they all adjusted the price to a price range lower than that of our products."

Speaking of this, Su Yuanshan felt an indescribable feeling of pleasure in his heart.

He has been on this road for a long time to make Yuanxin the most "expensive" brand acceptable to the market. Even various tricks were used during the process... But in the end, we still relied on technology to achieve this goal.

Except for those inlaid with gold and diamonds, there is no more expensive mobile phone than Yuanxin on the market - at least in China.

"What's next? Do you want to occupy the North American market?" After reading the fax, Jobs remained calm and looked at Su Yuanshan calmly again.

"Of course." Su Yuanshan didn't hide it and confessed his ambition: "In my opinion, in the North American market, except for Apple, no one can beat it."

This sentence made Jobs, who was originally very serious, smile and feel a hint of regret.

Since meeting Su Yuanshan last year, Jobs's views on the mobile phone market have changed - his original plan was to ride on the wave of mobile communications and rely on Apple's excellent design capabilities to design an excellent mobile phone to enter the market. In order to get rid of the financial difficulties currently facing Apple.

But after listening to and agreeing with Su Yuanshan's vision for future mobile phones, he thought he should wait.

Entering the mobile phone market now does not reflect Apple's excellence at all - he already has the prototype of the "next generation" mobile phone in his mind, and believes that it will be a design that will subvert the entire industry. However, according to the current technological development, there is still some time before his dream mobile phone.

Therefore, Jobs is not in a hurry. He plans to stay based on the traditional PC market and rely on cooperation with Yuanxin's chip project to continue to promote the advancement of handheld tablet computers.

When the time is right, he will give the world another surprise.

But now... Yuanxin can actually lead the world into the "digital age", which really makes Jobs a little worried - can Apple defeat Yuanxin in the consumer electronics market in the future?

"Then I wish you good luck." Jobs quickly showed his grace and nodded slightly at Su Yuanshan: "Apple has no desire to become Yuanxin's rival for the time being."

Su Yuanshan was a little surprised now. He knew that Apple was a company that kept a lot of confidentiality, but Mr. Qiao couldn't lie to him... he couldn't lie to his face, right?

"You have no plans to enter the mobile phone market yet?"

"No." Jobs looked back at Su Yuanshan's questioning gaze calmly.

Su Yuanshan scratched his head and thought that this is unscientific... Shouldn't you, the old man, be preparing to develop the first-generation iPhone?

"..." He was a little confused by Mr. Qiao's frankness, but soon Su Yuanshan smiled and sighed: "That's a pity. I have always believed that Apple's design has irreplaceable beauty. If it is used in mobile phones, If the beauty of Apple is missing from a product... then the world will not be perfect."

Jobs looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile, and was filled with emotion in his heart - this guy is obviously a very powerful person, how come he keeps praising people all the time? It's more powerful than those losers who make a living by patting horses, and it even sounds more pleasant to the ears.

——There will be a day, Jobs replied in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Jobs turned the topic to MP3. In his opinion, compared with mobile phones, this gadget can more accurately reflect Apple's design capabilities and occupy the market more quickly.

Of course, Su Yuanshan did not hesitate to experience and told Jobs about Yuanxin's plans and predictions for flash memory particles. In Su Yuanshan's plan, Yuanxin had never been an electronic product company that produced U disks, MP3s, or even solid-state drives in the future. , but a semiconductor company that provides flash memory particles and main control chip technologies and solutions.

Mr. Qiao wants to enter the MP3 market, and he is eager to do so.

Finally, Su Yuanshan finally talked about inviting Jobs to transfer the production process to Yuanxin. In his words, Apple has unparalleled design capabilities and ideas, while Yuanxin OEM Industrial Park has excellent product realization capabilities and cost control capabilities. If Apple chooses Yuanxin Industrial Park for OEM, it will be the best choice. A perfect match made in heaven.

In this regard, Jobs did not push the envelope anymore, but made it clear that he would hand over the production task of the next generation tablet computer to Yuanxin Industrial Park for trial cooperation.

When it was five o'clock in the afternoon, Jobs finally raised his hand and looked at the time.

Su Yuanshan also looked at his watch in unison.

At this moment, Jobs' assistant also walked in and said that someone from the Discovery Channel was visiting.

Su Yuanshan stood up and looked at Jobs with a smile.

"If my guess is correct... maybe Discovery Channel hopes that the two of us can do a show."

"Program?" Jobs frowned slightly and looked at Su Yuanshan in surprise.

"To be honest with you, I actually received the invitation first." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips slightly, considered the words, and tried his best to convey his wishes to Jobs in a way that would not arouse Jobs' disgust.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This person is unfamiliar, so it’s really difficult to deal with him.

…

…

After watching Su Yuanshan leave, Jobs turned and returned to the office.

He has always been a workaholic, and he was able to spare so much time to accompany Su Yuanshan today purely because of his good impression of the other party, not because of what kind of partners the two parties were.

"Bob." Jobs called his assistant who was about to close the door for him.

Bob stood at the door and looked at his boss suspiciously.

"Tell me, was it Su Yuanshan who called Discovery Channel?" Jobs looked at his assistant calmly.

Bob just thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Jobs also slowly laughed.

Yes, this trick... is simply too childish.

"It seems that Yuexin really hopes to take this opportunity to enter the North American market in the mobile phone field." Jobs said softly: "Do you think we should keep up or stand aside?"

Bob was slightly startled - since when did Mr. Qiao ask others about decision-making issues?

However, he soon realized that Jobs was not asking about decision-making issues, but simply wanted to get more answers.

After a few seconds of silence, Bob closed the door.

"Jobs, we can do it."
