Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 79: What is Apple's most valuable?

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

Even Jobs couldn't imagine it.

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

While Nokia is welcoming, is it ready to kill the iPhone? Who can know?

"Cannot replace the battery, which will make many people give up buying iPhones."

Theresa Roy held the analysis report and said, "The whole phone has only one physical button on the front, in addition to a few special function keys, which will make many users who are used to using a physical keyboard unaccustomed."

"They said that even Nokia, which is in the middle of the day, chose to withdraw from the full keyboard phone because of the strength of the BlackBerry in the US market, and when you bucked the trend and focused on the US market, you chose a full touch screen phone. So, the response from the market is not 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. But if you don't pay attention to the user's habits, then, It can only be a niche phone at best. "

"Moreover, as a brand new mobile phone system, you simply do n’t have enough capabilities and connections 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? "

"The vicious circle means that your phone cannot be sold because there is not enough third-party software, and no one is willing to develop software on it because of poor sales, and so on ... they think that your first-generation iPhone Global sales are limited to 1 million units. Such a small sales volume will make it impossible for you to recover the research costs and then completely abandon this series of products. "

After a few words, Wen Ming kept smiling, he really wanted to laugh.

The previous iPhone4 has a very serious problem, that is, its antenna design has BUG, ​​if the user's holding posture is wrong, it is easy to affect the signal. And what was Jobs's response then?

"Then change your grip!"

霸 This domineering response has proved 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 habits really that important?

After Teresa Roy finished speaking, she looked at Wen Ming and smiled, "Do you have any opinions on these things?"

After a bunch of criticisms, I picked myself out. This is not even the art of language. It is just a very ordinary social means.

Wu Wenming shook his head and smiled: "Of course there is no opinion. I think they are very reasonable."

There is something wrong with Teresa Roy about Wen Ming ’s answer. In his opinion, the young Wen Ming will inevitably strive to increase the value of the iPhone in his heart. It is best to reach the time when they negotiated before. Wenming quote.

Can Ke Wenming not argue?

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

Tong Wenming continued: "If we calculate it based on 1 million global sales, we really can't recover the cost, and even the operating cost cannot be recovered, let alone our R & D costs."

After the finished product is manufactured, transportation needs money, stores need money, employees need wages, and taxes are also required. If all of them cannot be sold in a short period of time, the return of funds is too slow, and the benefits lost due to this need to be calculated.

If it is another mobile phone manufacturer, one million of its mobile phones sold, it is already a very good result. Because other phone manufacturers have more than one phone, costs can be spread out. But for Wenming Apple, he only owns this phone, all costs are above.

Theresa Roy asked a little puzzled: "So why do you propose to me a $ 100 billion valuation of Apple?"

Yes, when Teresa Roy wanted to invest in Apple, Wenming reported a valuation of 100 billion US dollars. For Wenming, who knows Apple's future, this offer is a big loss, but for Teresa Roy, Wenming is just an idiot and a lunatic.

If it's not the genius Wenming has always shown, Teresa Roy will definitely turn her face on the spot, and even suspend the 'resurrection' dinosaur plan.

的 Nokia, which dominates the mobile phone industry, has just reached a market value of just over 100 billion US dollars. Why do n’t you even make a mobile phone for Apple, which is worth 100 billion US dollars?

When I asked this question, Teresa Roy's heart was very refreshing, because when he heard the quote before, he almost had a myocardial infarction.

Wu Wenming continued to laugh: "Because I think that the global sales of iphone can exceed 30 million. And this is only the first generation of iphone."

Bian Wenming said that he was conservative, and did not report the sales of more than 40 million units worldwide that iphone4 had once made, because his Apple company and Jobs' Apple company had a gap of decades. Even if he directly took out a cross-generation mobile phone product such as iphone4, he would not necessarily be able to achieve the results that iphone4 had in his previous life.

Theresa Roy took a deep breath, his rhythm was disrupted, because Wenming, a 19-year-old young man, had a different method of madness.

Normally, if Wenming believes that the iPhone has 30 million global sales, then the analysis report he got from the beginning should be dismissed, and Teresa Roy can use the analysis report to suppress Wenming.

Wu Keming agreed with the analysis report without a single argument. Now, if Teresa Roy asks why, the initiative is in Wenming's hands.

Can I stop asking? Can I stop investing?

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

Wu Wenming was smug in his heart and laughed: "Did their analysis report say about the research funding of the iPhone?"

Teresa Roy frowned, saying: "They think that the investment in research funding for iphone, coupled with the investment in human resources, should be about 200 million U.S. dollars. But I know that when you were developing the iPhone, and There is no 200 million US dollars, not to mention the technical staff needed ~ www.readwn.com ~ Now, Wen Ming has completely taken the initiative.

"Yes, when I researched the iPhone, I didn't have 200 million US dollars, not enough technical staff, Apple's financial situation, and the number of employees, you should be clear."

Wu Wenming stared at Teresa Roy's eyes and said: "The most important thing is that they should have analyzed the iPhone for at least two years, and you know that I don't have two years."

Teresa Roy wants to end this negotiation because he is now led by Wen Ming holding his nose, but he is reluctant to end, not because he has any special feelings for Wen Ming, but because he is really curious.

As we all know, Wen Ming is only 19 years old this year. He was only a freshman at Harvard University. Although he is considered a genius, it is a genius that ordinary people can reach.

Hey, how did you do that?

Wen Ming stretched out her right hand, pointed to her head, and said, "The iPhone was developed by myself. Whether it is hardware or system, I have spent a total of 3 months. The cost is only 3 million US dollars. . "

The cost of $ 3 million is mostly in the humble laboratories of Apple Inc., those necessary equipment purchase costs, and the salaries of a dozen researchers.

所以 "So, the valuation of 100 billion US dollars is not for Apple, but for me!"

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

But does he have this capital?

Theresa Roy is very old. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I think, about the iPhone, can we change the cooperation method?"
