Wall Street Legend

For technology hipsters, waiting for the iPhone is undoubtedly quite painful.

They were deeply attracted by this phone. People who had not bought iTouch before started to buy it to satisfy their greed. Some potential consumers who planned to buy iTouch, on second thought, thought it would be better to wait for a mobile phone with more comprehensive functions to be released.

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that this product is not available for purchase.

Especially when they heard that the iPhone had not yet been officially mass-produced, many people were heartbroken and could not wait to see it.

How popular can a mobile phone be? If you look at the recent news reports about the iPhone, you will know that they are overwhelming. There is no need to advertise. Word of mouth is the best advertising and marketing. Every day, people go to Apple stores to ask when they can buy it. However, they get The answer was only disappointment.

You must know that this is not yet an era when smartphones are flourishing. The one competing with the iOS operating system is Symbian... Needless to say, the disparity in strength is huge. Recently, the CEO of Nokia has poured dirty water on Apple many times, which shows how big the difference is. impatient.

Because it is unique and truly heralds a new era, it is normal to be welcomed.

Many people suddenly feel that the new Motorola flagship phone they just bought has suddenly become ugly and trashy. The idea of ​​​​changing their mobile phones has gradually enveloped the world, and it is worse than the flu.

In the next more than half a month, there were six waves of thieves who invaded Apple. Each one was very famous. Some people offered a million-dollar reward just to get the iPhone that had not yet been released. These guys After being caught, they all said in unison that they were all here for this phone.

If this is just it, forget it. No one has it anyway. Even though I get angry from waiting, I can still accept it. Beautiful things are always worth waiting for.

But in mid-June, a picture deeply stimulated them.

Some netizens photographed Ye Dongqing holding her phone sideways and tapping on it, with headphones plugged into her ears. She was said to be playing a game.

When this netizen posted the picture on Facebook, there was an outcry of criticism. They all went to Apple's official account and asked why he could get it but couldn't buy it themselves.

The news spread instantly, and Apple's public relations department saw the bright spot and directly sold a screen in Times Square, writing on it: "We are sorry, but he is our majority shareholder, so..."

This marketing is really amazing, and it has created a wave of goodwill among users.

This led to a sudden increase in the number of people who borrowed their mobile phones from Ye Dongqing, including his nanny, his daughter's nutritionist, and his bodyguard. No matter where he went, the most common sentence he heard was "Can you give it to me?" Look at your phone?"

When Richard rushed over in a hurry and was about to steal his cell phone, he was directly pushed down by the bodyguards. After all, he is a billionaire and has a super-rich grandfather. He simply disgraced the Rockefeller family.

In recent years, more and more technological products have touched people's nerves, but only the iPhone is the most powerful. My peers can only admire them and watch Apple's market value rise again and again in more than half a month, until it reaches US$40 billion. He has no intention of stopping. I heard that Jobs recently went for a walk on the street when he had nothing to do, enjoying the feeling of being noticed by others. He had not received such attention before.

Ye Dongqing was even more wicked. He was talking on the phone and driving a sports car from one end of Fifth Avenue to the other. The people he met along the way felt so hateful in his heart that even if he had money, he didn't rush to sell it! ?

***********

In the short term, Nasdaq's capital transactions increased significantly, which directly caused Ye Dongqing's net worth to distance itself from Gates.

After being the richest man in the world for a while, he has finally accepted this change in status. He is in a good mood recently and probably will never have to worry about money again in his life.

To be honest, the speed of spending money is not as fast as the speed of making money, which is also a worry. Ye Dongqing has not bought anything for a while, because he has everything he should have, and it is almost impossible to find a place where he can still spend money. This is very annoying. Not interesting.

There is no rush to mass produce iPhones. The processing and production of accessories takes time, and the assembly process also takes time. The foundry is already on standby 24 hours a day, striving to shorten the production cycle.

The long-lost sense of expectation has returned, because in addition to environmental protection and public welfare, he has found a small goal worthy of lifelong efforts - just like what Musk pursues, Ye Dongqing wants to work hard in his lifetime to bring the first batch of people on earth to the world. Send to Mars.

No one knows what is on Mars, and they may never be able to recoup their investment. But after he can no longer find a "peak" worth climbing on the earth, he can only look further and try to do it. Some people who are more meaningful, such as paying attention to the destiny of mankind, changing the status quo of society, participating in public welfare and charity, etc. These are big propositions, but he feels that he has hope to change something through hard work.

Recently, I have been spending more time on charity foundations. The pharmaceutical R\u0026D team has a general framework and has successfully acquired several companies in the new energy field and R\u0026D laboratories. However, the most successful one so far is still planting trees. This kind of thing takes a lot of time. Money is enough, there is no technical content, it’s not that you can’t make money, the economic effect of artificial regeneration forest is not bad, but the return rate is too low, few people are willing to spend a long time waiting to make a profit.

The endangered animal protection plan has also begun, with a total initial investment of 100 million US dollars. The people who lent the money to Ye Dongqing are not anxious to get the money back. They are only worried that the interest is not enough, and there is no need for him to rush to pay back the money now, saying It's a joke. No matter who he returns it to forcibly, the other party will probably slap the table and get angry. The interest rate is indeed too high, and no one wants to miss this reliable opportunity to make money.

On June 24th, more than half of 2006 has passed in the blink of an eye. The main frame of the Cobra Building has reached a height of more than 500 meters. It is expected to be topped out in August. Compared with construction, the later stage will take longer. The glass exterior We haven't started building the wall yet.

Ye Dongqing had nothing to do today and came to visit the Hudson Park. The apartment building invested in partnership with another company is also under construction. The entire building complex may be taking shape faster than imagined.

Old Mr. Bloomberg didn’t draw a big picture. The renovation work of the surrounding old buildings and old parks was indeed in progress. At this moment, walking with Laura on the construction site, he smiled and asked: “I haven’t seen you in more than two months. Did the filming of the movie go smoothly? If you don't like it, just come back to me. With so many houses, they all belong to me, so there will never be any shortage of places for you to live. "

For Laura, the longer we know her, the deeper our feelings will become.

Laura didn’t appreciate it. Now that she is quite successful in the entertainment industry, her demeanor is different from before. She rolled her eyes at him and replied: “It’s been a while since we last met, and I’m starting to know how to coax women. Who did you get this training from?”
