Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 82: After 1 month, start to change the mobile phone

Teresa Roy used her own assets as a guarantee, paid a deposit of 460 million US dollars, and placed an order of up to 8 million iPhones with Apple's suppliers and foundries.

One year later, Apple will pay the final payment. If Apple is unable to pay the final payment, Teresa Roy will pay the final payment and compensate for liquidated damages.

With Teresa Roy's asset guarantee, Apple's parts suppliers increased the production of iPhone parts in the first place.

"Are you stupid?"

After completing the gambling agreement, Sith asked with some confusion: "Let's not talk about anything else, the iPhone production cycle takes three months, which means we only have nine months to sell iPhones. Then you have to pay the balance.”

"The final payment for 8 million iPhones is as high as 1.8 billion US dollars, and we have to pay Teresa Roy 460 million US dollars. Have you ever calculated how many iPhones we need to sell?"

Wen Ming replied confidently: "I don't need to count, I just know that these 10 million iPhones are not bought or sold at all."

At this time, Sith really wanted to pat his ass and leave, and said a little angrily: "A new product with no user base at all, why can't you come to it step by step? Even Nokia, the flagship phone they launch every year , and it is impossible to place an order for 10 million units when stocking up for the first time."

Because the iPhone has proved its excellence and its attractiveness to users in another world.

Wen Ming sighed, he would never share the memory of another world with anyone, which caused his decision-making many times, making others unable to understand.

Normally, he is either crazy or an idiot for such crazy stocking of iPhones when the iPhone has not been recognized by the market. There is no other explanation. As Sith said, even Nokia, the overlord of the mobile phone industry, would not dare to do this, so why should Wen Ming?

Seeing Sith's anxious expression, Wen Ming comforted: "Don't worry, even if we can't sell so much, our loss is actually not big. As long as we can sell half of it, we can fully recover the cost, and the sales volume Reaching 5 million mobile phones can prove the market's recognition of the iPhone. At that time, we can directly launch new mobile phones, and those that have not been sold can be sold at a low price. We can earn as much as we can .”

Sith sighed, and said: "You are indeed right. I also think that it is no problem for the iPhone to sell 5 million units, but don't forget that you still have a bet with Teresa Roy."

Wen Ming laughed and said: "Facebook is only 2.1% of the shares. If our iPhone can sell 5 million units, then the market value after listing can break through 5 billion US dollars. To me, There is not much difference between 5 billion and 6 billion."

The discussion on the bet against each other ended here, and it was a done deal. Sith could not change anything at all. All he could do was to try his best to help Wen Ming, so that Wen Ming didn't need to worry too much about company affairs.

In Wen Ming's view, Sith's worries are completely unnecessary.

As he said to Teresa Roy, his time is running out, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to go crazy, then he probably won't have the chance to go crazy.

Even according to Teresa Roy's analysts' estimates, iPhone sales will allow him to have enough money to invest in the "resurrected" dinosaur project. As long as he can complete this project, then he has a great chance to solve his survival crisis.

As long as he is still alive, what does it matter if Apple gives them all away?

For Wen Ming, his life is far more important than money.

After Sith left, Wen Ming immediately summoned the employees of Apple's mobile phone division.

"Your task is very difficult, because in one month, the iPhones produced by our company will be assembled at a rate of 150,000 per day."

It takes one month for the Iphone parts to be produced and stocked to meet the assembly needs of the foundry, and Foxconn, which Wen Ming chose, also takes a month to renovate the production line and train the workers.

"In other words, after two months, we will be able to get 4.5 million iPhones."

The production efficiency of the foundry is not fixed, because Foxconn does not only produce iPhones. The Foxconn in the previous life, combined with all factories, can produce an average of 500,000 iPhones per day. The famous Apple company naturally cannot let Foxconn treat him as most important customers.

4.5 million units in one month, 9 million units in two months, plus a part of the production period of the first month's preparation period, a total of 10 million units, so Sith said that the production cycle needs three months.

Hearing that 4.5 million iPhones will be available in two months, the employees of Apple's mobile phone business department were a little dazed, because the first batch of iPhones produced was only 2 million a few days ago.

Peter, who was in charge of the mobile phone business department, frowned and asked, "Boss, what is your request?"

Wen Ming liked Peter's work attitude very much, he didn't have many questions, he just wanted to know what the boss wanted.

"I request that within one month, you complete all of our Apple experience store renovations and sales staff training."

"I request that you cooperate with the technicians in the R\u0026D department to send the iPhone's localized application development kit to developers and developers around the world."

"I request that you give me a complete iPhone global marketing plan within a week."

The three requirements are certainly not all, but they are the most important three requirements.

The Apple experience store is the guarantee of iPhone sales. When the iPhone is just launched, it is necessary to let users understand and feel the iPhone, so that they can arouse their desire to buy. And after these people bought the iPhone, they were able to provide a good publicity effect for the iPhone.

The localization application development kit is to tell those developers how to develop programs that run on the iphone. This is critical because the magic of a smartphone is the programs it can run. For the current Apple, this is not difficult to achieve.

It only needs to come up with a production volume of 10 million iphones to allow those developers to start developing programs that run on the iphone. Of course, in the early days, it is absolutely impossible for the iPhone to become the preferred publishing platform for the programs developed by those developers.

However, as long as those developers can convert their existing software or the software they are developing into programs that can operate on the iphone's ios platform, there is absolutely no problem.

The last requirement is also the meaning of the title.

Naturally, a product such as a mobile phone cannot only focus on the local market, but should be oriented to the world. Furthermore, Wen Ming himself is not an American, and China should be his home market.

Peter wrote down Wen Ming's request, and then asked: "Boss, is the first mobile phone produced by our company called iPhone? Will the subsequent naming rules be iPhone2 and 3?"

For Peter, he works with a salary, so he doesn't need to care about what price Wen Ming might pay for 10 million iPhones.

"Yes, it's called an iPhone, the first generation iPhone!"

At this time, Wen Ming has already started to think, should the second-generation iPhone be prepared for the iPhone 4s, or should it go directly to the iPhone 5?
