Unparalleled True Technology

纽约 "New York Times" September 13, 2009 headline-"Change the mobile phone! ".

For the media, they will never care about the martial arts thing. As long as Apple is willing to pay a large 'notification fee', then it is not impossible for them to talk nonsense with their eyes open.

What's more, Apple's iPhone is really worth such a headline.

On the first day of sale, the iPhone sold more than 1 million units in the United States. Among them, the 500,000 iphone inventory received by ATT has been sold out, and the Apple Experience Store in Wenming has sold more than 15 iPhones. Ten thousand units, plus orders from Apple's official website, and consumers who had previously pre-ordered and have not been cancelled, the total sales of iphones have reached 1.2 million units.

If calculated based on the standard price of US $ 499, then Apple ’s revenue on this day has reached US $ 590 million. Of course, the 500,000 iphones of ATT are agency prices, and a 16G storage capacity version is only It costs $ 449.

But the iPhone is not only one version, it also has a 32G storage version, priced at $ 599.

"A day's revenue exceeds $ 600 million?"

Wu Wenming finished reading today's "New York Times" headline news. In addition to doing his best to praise the iPhone, the main thing in the article is to promote the sales of the iPhone on the first day and Apple's total revenue.

The relationship between Wen Ming and The New York Times has always been good. This good relationship of spending money on news began with Wen Ming's first novel, Robinson Crusoe, which was selected by Wen Ming at that time. This relationship laid the groundwork, and after Apple's games were released, they often sponsored the New York Times.

Qi Wenming asked with a smile on his face: "How do you think, if we go on the market now, how much the market value can reach?"

Mahler Gobihas, Apple's chief financial officer, was very excited at this time. He originally chose to come to Apple because of Sith's invitation. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to Apple because Apple was already ' Desolate 'to the point where you have to sell all your products.

"Plant Vs Zombies" was sold, and the ins were also sold. Even if they entered the 1 billion dollar club, there is nothing to show off, because without the product, what can you do with only cash?

No company can guarantee the success of every new product developed by itself.

现在 But now, he really appreciates Sith's invitation.

"If we can go on the market now, with the current iPhone sales guarantee, our market value will definitely exceed $ 80 billion. Because Facebook's revenue last year was similar to our yesterday's revenue."

The Siss next to me was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is this so high? Nokia's cumulative sales of mobile phones are hundreds of times ours now, and their market value is only 110 billion US dollars."

"It's because Nokia has no real users, and we have real users like Facebook," explained Mahler.

He Wenming applauded because Mahler pointed out the focus of Apple's soaring market value.

"Yes, Nokia is just a mobile phone manufacturer. If their phones are not welcomed by the market, then they will face a very embarrassing situation. But we are different because we also have the APPStore app market and so on. All users who use iphone Will register Apple accounts, and these accounts will firmly tie them to us. "

为什么 Why is Apple in another world so valuable?

In addition to products and mastered technology, Apple's application market has definitely contributed a lot of value.

Lucis suddenly realized: "What do you mean, we can not only have users like Facebook, but also profit revenue from hardware like Nokia. So, can our market value reach that high?"

Wen Ming nodded and said: "Facebook's annual revenue is currently less than 1 billion US dollars, but its valuation has reached about 30 billion US dollars, and although Nokia ’s cumulative mobile phone sales are very high, they What is the net profit in the revenue? Mahler, do you calculate our hardware profit ratio? "

Mahler said excitedly: "Of course, after deducting taxes and labor costs, our hardware revenue on the iPhone has reached 35%. In other words, yesterday we sold $ 600 million, pure The profit is over 200 million dollars. But this is 200 million dollars a day. Can Nokia do it? "

With a user base and an extremely high revenue-to-profit ratio, how can the market value be low?

Unless, Apple's second-generation iPhones are no longer welcome, but this is unlikely to happen. If the level of hardware development is not enough, Wenming can even make iphonex directly, which is the full-screen iphone of Apple's 10th anniversary edition.

With an aggressive expression, Lucis said incredibly, "That is to say ~ www.readwn.com ~ We are now a $ 80 billion company?"

"and many more!"

Lucis suddenly exclaimed: "Wen Ming, aren't you the richest man in the world now?"

Wen Ming and Mahler looked at each other and smiled. Mahler understood Wen Ming's eyes and began to explain to Sith: "The market value we just said is just what we think is the ideal market value. If we go public, we can definitely reach this level. At that time, our boss was bound to be the richest man in the world. But when we did n’t go public, the money the boss had was just the money on the books of our company. Now we only have $ 600 million. "

Wu Wenming added with a smile: "Also, this 600 million US dollars should be used as a deposit and paid to our suppliers in the shortest time, so that they can continue to produce iPhones for us."

Lucis responded and asked with an awkward smile: "Shouldn't it be the final payment? And, don't we still have more than 8 million iPhones?"

Qi Wenming shook his head and said, "The final payment can now be postponed, because we have not yet reached the settlement final payment time. As for the eight million iphones, do you think it is enough to sell?"

Lucis shook his head and said, "I don't think it's enough to sell, it must be not enough!"

Between the three of them, Peter, who had just met with people from the ATT company, walked in frowningly.

"Boss, I strongly demand that I go to Foxconn and I have to ask them to raise the speed of producing iPhones, otherwise they will not be sold enough."

I heard Wenming for a moment, and suddenly thought of the previous life of Foxconn, the Blood Tears Factory, and the Jump Factory. Maybe the reason is that the iphone sold too much, so it worked too much overtime?
