Chapter 485 This Starry Sky (2)
Apple's products are never low-end or mid-range products, which is beyond doubt, so even if the tax is concerned, the price of the domestic iPhone is basically synchronized with that of foreign countries, but it has reached the price of 4999! This price is more expensive than the iPhone of the previous life, but this is not decided by Zhang Yang. It should be known that if the price abroad is based on the international exchange rate, it will be even higher than this. ;
The iPhone in the last few years was cheaper than this, but it was forgotten. Just a few months ago, Apple's MP3 was sold for $500 and $600! And now the global market is in a state of high fever, the economic crisis has not erupted, and the price is normal.
When Jobs set the price of the starry sky (2) in Chapter 485, he proposed a price of nearly one thousand dollars, which was later suppressed by Zhang Yang. In Jobs's understanding, the current iPhone is basically a monopoly product, and no other smartphone can compete with it. Such a product only sells so little money, it is too cheap.
Think about how much money a system sold when Microsoft was monopolizing the system? That's software. Except that CD-ROMs are counted as costs, the rest is human resources.
Therefore, although Steve Jobs has objections to this price, because Zhang Yang is the company's largest shareholder anyway, although the exercise of the shares is in his hands, this face should still be sold to Zhang Yang, and finally the pricing of the iPhone has become now this price.
You should know that iPhone prices have become like this. Apple’s previous products have to all reduce prices on a large scale. Fortunately, Jobs also know that the future iPhone will be Apple’s main product. Those MP3 and other things will be reduced in price. influences. Even in order to calm down some users who recently purchased MP3 products, Apple has also paid a considerable loss for this. Within the first three months of the day when Apple announced the iPhone price, any purchase of the 485th chapter of this starry sky (2) Those who have passed MP3 products will get a 50% refund.
Fortunately, Apple's other electronic products are not much in three months, but it still cost Apple more than a billion dollars.
May 1st, International Labor Day, because this day is a common holiday for all workers in the world, most countries have statutory holidays on this day, and today, almost 60% of the world’s population is almost at home Watched a news conference about Apple’s Star Group holding iPhones.
There is no way, who can let the news media of all countries in the world broadcast this conference, these people can't even watch it. "Today is a special day. Perhaps the world will remember this day in the future, because this day not only represents the rise of two companies, but also represents the birth of a new epoch-making product, perhaps in the future. Our handsets will be transformed into this kind of multi-function intelligent terminal more like a personal computer." This sentence is basically the opening report of most media.
The location of this press conference was finally placed in the country, but there will also be a press conference in the headquarters of Apple Inc. in the United States. Two press conferences will be held at the same time. The difference is that one is in the morning and the other is at night. But because the real high-level executives of the two companies, Jobs and Li Keqing, Chen Xiaowei, etc., are all on the Chinese side, so there are the most journalists gathered at the press conference on the Star Group side.
"Thank you to the reporters and friends who participated in the press conference of Star Group and Apple. To thank you, today we made a small discount for everyone. If you are interested in buying an iPhone or an iPad product, come here today. All journalist friends can enjoy a 20% discount with their own press card." Come up, Jobs smiled and announced a statement that made all journalists excited.
20% off, not much discount, but it has bought the hearts of the people. At least how many of these reporters will say something good when commenting? This bad idea was naturally conceived by Zhang Yang. Anyway, even if it is a 40% discount, Apple and Star Group have profits. Besides, these reporters and the masters who carry the camera add up to thousands of people. How much is it?
"I believe that many reporters and friends know the purpose of today’s press conference. To this end, I first announce the good news. First, Apple, which is scheduled on Apple’s official website, supports all users of Apple. Your mobile phone has passed the express delivery of various countries today. The company sent it to your home to ensure that you will be the first user to receive a mobile phone! And I believe that most users have already received the handset we mailed. In addition, in order to give back to all users, we have sent you a copy Little gift." Jobs smiled and said to all the users in front of the TV.
In fact, these gifts are also very simple, a protective film for the mobile phone screen, a specially customized beautiful shell, and a handset cord. Many young users like to hang ornaments on the mobile phone, but the mobile phone itself is not hung on these decorations Place, and this function is naturally placed on the shell.
This is naturally the attention Zhang Zhang came up with based on the accessory set of the Apple phone of his previous life. You know, no one can think of this method of making money now, and these products are naturally contracted to some related companies. However, 50% of the profits must be given to Apple and Star Group.
These various mobile phone cases undoubtedly gave these users too many surprises. Everyone knows that Apple’s stubbornness and appearance will always be such a kind. Now that they have the opportunity to change themselves, these loyal users of Apple can Not happy?
"The second good news, everyone knows that because of the time difference, the market in the Asia-Pacific region is about 12 hours ahead of the sales in the European and American regions. Now the good news I tell you is that this time Apple has been in recent months There are 5 million mobile phones in the Chinese market, and as of 4:45 this afternoon, according to news sent back by dealers across the country, these 5 million mobile phones have all been sold out. iPad sales have also been sold by one-third!" Jobs smiled and said the second news.
When the news about Jobs came out, all the reporters were completely crazy. Five million mobile phones sold out in one day? You know, this is not a kind of mobile phone with hundreds or thousands of pieces, but a high-end mobile phone with a price of 5000RMB!
Not to mention that these reporters are crazy, Zhang Yang who got the news in the afternoon felt incredible. Although he knew that the iPhone would be hot, Zhang Yang did not expect it to be so crazy in China. It seems that the influence of Starry Group on domestic consumers is not just ordinary The size is quite large!
Even without investigation, Zhang Yang guessed that having such a terrible sales volume has a lot to do with the current reputation of Star Group in China! And the data announced by Jobs made all the mobile phone manufacturers who watched the press conference eyes red! Five million units in one day!
These five million mobile phones are 25 billion RMB! This is still the sales volume of a country in China, and the iPhone is listed at the same time worldwide! Uh, although this figure makes Zhang Yang feel a little hurt. In China alone, Apple has made a gross profit of $3 billion in a day.
The Star Group has earned nearly half of it. What kind of horrible profit-making efficiency?
At this moment in the United States, when this news also spread to the United States, Apple stocks in the US stock market began a new round of crazy growth again. The press conference came to an end very quickly, and after the end, the celebration party for the top executives of Apple and Starry Group also began immediately.
At the beginning, the madness of the US stock market has spread back, because the US stock market does not have a daily limit. So at 11 o'clock in the evening, when they are publicized on their side, Apple’s stock per share has grown. At the horror price of $232.3 per share!
You know, just yesterday, the day before the mobile phone went public, Apple’s stock fell a little, and the final price was $193.67. In just one day, or half an hour, the price per share was Rise by nearly 40 dollars!
And Apple's market value has now reached 213.2 billion! And Apple's market value has leapt into the top ten in the global enterprise ranking! Reached sixth place! From the fifth place above, Shell Oil's 221.2 billion is only less than 8 billion US dollars! With Apple’s current stocks hot, I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before Shell Oil!
And everyone understands that today is just a hot prelude. After tomorrow's global sales, the price of this stock may still rise! $213.2 billion! This price makes people feel dizzy. Only Zhang Yang is not too shocked. There is no way. Before Zhang Yang was reborn, Apple's stock price was more than 360 US dollars a share~EbookFREE.me~ The market value is already 370 billion The US dollar is hovering around. Looking back at its current market value, it will naturally be less shocking.
The only thing that excites Zhang Yang is... half of the 213.2 billion is his! The rise of Apple’s stock market is not new news. In fact, before the press conference, various domestic media have sent people to pay special attention to the U.S. stock market, regardless of whether Apple’s stock fell or rose because of today’s events. For the media, this is eye-catching news.
So when Apple’s stocks began to rise, these media also directly broadcast this news to everyone. The rise of Apple’s stock means that the Star Group’s investment is more jealous, that is, the wealth of the world’s richest man... will be more terrifying. .
Putting aside all other money, Apple’s stock alone has already allowed Li Keqing’s worth to reach $106.6 billion! This is the first individual whose assets have exceeded 100 billion US dollars since the establishment of Forbes Magazine! Looking at the long series of zeros behind Li Keqing's net worth, everyone feels a little speechless. A person's personal assets have exceeded the GDP of many countries around the world. ! ! ! ;
