Unparalleled True Technology

Even Apple in the previous life, when the iPhone was just launched, not many people would believe that the iPhone series could achieve such incredible results in the future.

Even Jobs couldn't have imagined it at all.

Nokia, the overlord of the mobile phone industry at the time, also issued a formal announcement, welcoming Apple to join the mobile phone manufacturing industry.

But while Nokia is welcoming, is it ready to kill the iphone? Who knows?

"Not being able to replace the battery will put a lot of people off buying an iPhone."

Teresa Roy took the analysis report and said: "Except for a few special function keys, there is only one physical button on the front of the whole phone, which will make many users who are used to using physical keyboards uncomfortable."

"They said that even Nokia, which is in full swing, chose to quit the full-keyboard phone because of the strength of the BlackBerry in the US market, and you went against the trend and chose a full-touch screen phone when you focused on the US market. , so the market response will not be so enthusiastic.”

After a lot of crackling, Teresa Roy concluded: "The appearance of the iPhone, video call technology, screen display effects, camera effects, etc., are really well designed. However, if you don't pay attention to the user's usage habits, then, It can only be a niche phone at best."

"Moreover, as a brand-new mobile phone system, you simply don't have enough capabilities and contacts to let those software developers develop their software versions on your ios platform. Without enough third-party software, smartphones can still Is it called a smartphone?"

"A vicious cycle where you don't sell your phone because you don't have enough third-party software, and because it doesn't sell well enough that no one wants to build software on it, and so on...they think your first-generation iPhone The global sales volume is only 1 million units at most. With such a small sales volume, you will not be able to recover the research cost, and then completely give up this series of products.”

After saying something, Wen Ming kept smiling all the time, he really wanted to laugh.

The iphone4 in the previous life had a very serious problem, that is, its antenna design had bugs, and if the user's grip was wrong, it would easily affect the signal. And what was Jobs' reply at the time?

"Then change your grip!"

This domineering response has proven the success of the iPhone and its popularity among users.

I was wrong, but I will not change. If you want to use our products, then change your habits.

So, is user habit really that important?

After Teresa Roy finished speaking, she looked at Wen Ming and smiled, "Do you have any opinion on what they analyzed?"

After criticizing a lot, pick yourself out, this is not even the art of language, it is just a very common social method.

Wen Ming shook his head and smiled, "Of course I have no opinion, I think their analysis makes sense."

Teresa Roy was a little taken aback by Wen Ming's answer. In his opinion, the young Wen Ming would definitely fight for reason in order to increase the value of the iPhone in his heart. It would be best if it could reach the value of the iPhone when they were negotiating before. Wen Ming's offer.

Why didn't Ke Wenming argue?

Because, I don't want to sell Apple's shares to you at all!

Wen Ming continued: "If calculated based on the global sales volume of 1 million, we really have no way to recover the cost, even the operating cost, not to mention our research and development costs."

After the finished product is manufactured, transportation needs money, stores need money, employees need wages, and taxes need to be paid. If all products cannot be sold in a short period of time, the return of funds is too slow, and the loss of benefits needs to be calculated.

If it is another mobile phone manufacturer, selling 1 million units of one of its mobile phones is already a very good result. Because other phone makers have more than one phone, costs can be spread out. But for Wen Ming's Apple company, he only has this mobile phone, and all the costs are on it.

Teresa Roy asked a little puzzled: "In this case, why did you propose to me a valuation of Apple's 100 billion US dollars?"

Yes, when Teresa Roy wanted to invest in Apple, Wen Ming reported a valuation of US$100 billion. For Wen Ming, who knows the future of Apple, this offer is a big loss, but for Teresa Roy, Wen Ming is simply an idiot and a lunatic.

If it weren't for the genius that Wen Ming has always shown, Teresa Roy would definitely turn his face on the spot, and even suspend the plan to "resurrect" the dinosaur.

Nokia, which dominates the mobile phone industry, has a market capitalization of just over 100 billion U.S. dollars. Apple, which doesn’t even manufacture a mobile phone, why is it valued at 100 billion U.S. dollars?

When this question was asked, Teresa Roy felt very refreshed, because when he heard the offer before, he almost had a heart attack.

Wen Ming continued to laugh and said, "Because I think the global sales of iPhones can exceed 30 million units. Moreover, this is only the first generation of iPhones."

What Wen Ming said was a little conservative, and he did not report the global sales of more than 40 million units of the iPhone 4, because there is a decades-long gap between his Apple company and Jobs' Apple company. Even if he directly took out the iphone4, a cross-age mobile phone product, he may not be able to achieve the achievements that the iphone4 should have in its previous life.

Teresa Roy took a deep breath, his rhythm was disrupted, because Wen Ming, a 19-year-old young man, had a different way of madness.

Normally, if Wen Ming thinks that the iPhone has a global sales volume of 30 million units, then he should refute the analysis report he got from the very beginning, and Teresa Roy can use the analysis report to suppress Wen Ming.

But Wen Ming agreed with the analysis report without a word of rebuttal. Now, if Teresa Roy asks why, then the initiative will be in Wen Ming's hands.

Can I stop asking? Can I not invest?

After Teresa Roy asked herself two questions in her heart, she sighed helplessly in her heart and asked, "Where does your self-confidence come from?"

Wen Ming was proud, and said with a smile: "In their analysis report, did they say how much the research funding for the iPhone is?"

Teresa Roy frowned, and said: "They think that the research cost of the iPhone should be around 200 million U.S. dollars with the investment of human resources. But I know that when you were developing the iPhone, you didn't Not $200 million, let alone the technical staff needed.”

Up to now, Wen Ming has completely grasped the initiative.

"Yes, when I was researching the iPhone, I didn't have 200 million US dollars, nor did I have enough technical personnel. You should be clear about Apple's financial situation and the number of employees."

Wen Ming stared into Teresa Roy's eyes and said: "The most important thing is that they should have analyzed it. The research time of iPhone should be at least more than two years, and you know, I don't have two years."

Teresa Roy really wanted to end this negotiation, because he had been led by Wen Ming, but he was reluctant to end it, not because he had any special affection for Wen Ming, but because he was really curious.

As we all know, Wen Ming is only 19 years old this year. He was just a freshman at Harvard University before. Although he is considered a genius, he is a genius within the reach of ordinary people.

How did he do it?

Wen Ming stretched out his right hand, pointed to his head, and said, "I developed the iPhone by myself. Whether it is hardware or system, I spent a total of 3 months. The cost is only three million U.S. dollars. .”

The cost of three million US dollars is mostly the purchase fee of the necessary equipment in Apple's humble research laboratory, as well as the salaries of more than a dozen researchers.

"So, the $100 billion valuation is not for Apple, but for me!"

Teresa Roy was really shocked this time. How could there be such a narcissistic and arrogant person in this world?

But does he have the capital?

Teresa Roy was already very old. After taking two deep breaths, she said, "I think, regarding the iPhone product, can we change the way of cooperation?"
