Unparalleled True Technology

Boston is the current home base of Apple Inc. The scale of the Apple Experience Store is naturally the highest in the United States.

In addition to an Apple Experience Store in Boston's busiest neighborhood, there is also an one in Cambridge Town, Boston. This Apple Experience Store is targeted at students from several nearby universities.

Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston University, just the students of these three universities can bring a lot of sales to Apple mobile phones. More importantly, through the students of these three universities, the word of mouth of the first-generation iPhone can spread very smoothly.

Wu Wenming didn't do much research today. After the official launch of the iPhone, he can relax appropriately. Of course, after the iPhone's sales are guaranteed, he will invest in another project, the "Resurrection" dinosaur project that can save his life.

Driven by the 150-km Bentley, Wen Ming took James to the Apple Experience Store in Cambridge.

我 "I said, are you driving too slowly?"

James sat on the co-pilot and said very awkwardly, "Do you know how much horsepower this Bentley Mulsanne has?"

Tong Wenming passed a taxi that wanted to overtake, and laughed, "How much horsepower does it have to do with how fast I drive?"

James was very upset as he watched another car overtake from the left.

闻 "Wenming, I'm really very skeptical a lot of times, are you really only 19 years old this year?" James said with a grin, "Should young people drive such a luxury car, shouldn't the purpose be to pursue speed?"

Qi Wenming replied with a smile: "In pursuit of speed, this Bentley Mulsanne is also inappropriate, and the speed should be on the racing track or on the intercontinental road with little traffic, not on the road in the urban area."

James shrugged, changed the topic and said, "The iPhone's pre-order volume in the United States has exceeded 300,000. According to the analysis of the marketing department, the first day of our official sale, the sales volume can reach at least 500,000. In terms of availability, we can't sell it for a few days. "

During the one-month preparation period, Wenming was only able to get 1 million iPhones, and of these 1 million iPhones, 500,000 needed to be handed over to ATT.

That is to say, the Apple Experience Store in the United States currently only has a total of 500,000 iPhones in stock, and thousands of them will be used for customer experience, which is equivalent to never being sold.

Wu Wenming turned on the turn signal in advance when he was 5 seconds away from the intersection.

"Then you can only continue to let users continue to order."

At this time before the official sale of the iPhone, there is still a day left. That is, today, the Foxconn factory begins to supply Apple with an assembly speed of 150,000 iPhones per day.

目前 So far, no one can guarantee that after the first day of 500,000 units sold, Apple can sell iPhones at a rate of 150,000 units per day.

But even so, iphone is not enough to sell. Because even if Foxconn produced the iPhone, it would not be possible to send it to the United States on the same day, because Foxconn's factories are in Huaxia.

Because it involves customs, even ordinary people going from one country to another need passports and visas, not to mention so many goods?

James said: "In addition to this problem, there is also a big problem in the supply of other countries, because we currently have 9 million iPhones, and it takes two months to produce them. But now, many The agents of the country are already guarding in our company. "

Wen Ming smiled happily. He was really happy. A few days ago, agents in other countries were arrogantly clamoring for replenishment and payment. But now, the first product release at Apple At the end of the meeting, when the nationally scheduled volume reached 300,000 in two days, those agents could not sit still.

The US market has been the market vane of many countries. Before a smartphone product was officially released, it had already received 300,000 pre-orders. Moreover, the excellent performance of the iPhone so far has also made those agents feel that There will be a good market guarantee for these phones.

It looks like there are a lot of 10 million units in total, but there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world. The population of the United States is only 300 million, while the global population has exceeded 7 billion.

On the premise that itself is not enough, there is still a two-month supply cycle. At this time, it is equivalent to whoever gets the goods first, whoever can make money first.

After two months, will the iPhone still be the mainstream flagship model? Will it still be a smartphone that consumers have a strong desire to buy?

For a product such as a smartphone, it can be completely updated once in two months. Or for those established mobile phone manufacturers, in two months, can not develop products similar to iphone?

If there are similar products, then it is difficult to guarantee iPhone sales. This is why Wenming is willing to bet with Teresa Roy. He really needs Teresa Roy to help him solve the production of 8 million iPhones. Otherwise, what is he selling now?

Even if the iPhone's sales are now guaranteed, he can place orders with hardware manufacturers, but the intermediate production cycle must be extended again. By then, it will not be two months, and it is likely to extend to four The month is even longer.

Two months will affect sales, let alone four months?

Users don't wait for four months deliberately to buy an iPhone because the current Apple company is not the Apple of Jobs.

"Give priority to the Chinese market."

Wu Wenming ran out to do market research today, just to avoid the agents from various countries in the company ~ www.readwn.com ~ But James followed up cheekily, but still got to the topic.

"Because Foxconn's factory is located in Huaxia, we can save several days of transportation cycles. Moreover, the market of Huaxia is very large. Except for the US market, the Huaxia market will be our company's most important market."

Huaxia's consumer market has not surpassed the United States so far, but Wenming knows very well that in a few years, Huaxia will surpass the United States and become the world's largest consumer market in many industries.

"As for the other countries, it's up to you to allocate them. I want to relax for a while now."

Wenming was really tired for a while. Although the iPhone ’s hardware parameters and system code are in Wenming ’s mind, even if it is copied, it takes a lot of his mind, not to mention his physical condition is not too it is good.

James nodded and said, "You should really relax, why not, let's go out to play?"

Wenming black face instantly: "Do you want to take me out to sea again?"

James smiled awkwardly, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Here it is, let's go in and see."

Wu Wenming stopped the car and took James to go to the Apple Experience Store. But at this moment, his phone rang.

I picked up the phone, and Sith's voice was full of anger.

"There is a problem with the certification of the iPhone in Huaxia. It said that it will take at least one month, and just now, the agents from Huaxia have left."

"I know."

Bian Wenming didn't say much, because it doesn't make sense to say anything now. After hanging up the phone, he went on to the Apple Experience Store without changing his face.

"It's a pity not to be friends with the richest man."
