The Strongest Hacker

Chapter 485 This starry sky (2)

Apple's products have never been mid-to-low-end products, there is no doubt about it, so even if there is no tariff, the price of the domestic iPhone will basically keep pace with foreign countries, but the price has reached 4999! This price is more expensive than the iPhone in the previous life, but this is not determined by Zhang Yang. You must know that the price abroad is even a little higher than this if the international exchange rate is used. ;

The iPhone a few years later in the previous life was cheaper than this, but I forgot that just a few months ago, an Apple MP3 was sold for $500, $600 each! And now the global market is in a state of high fever, the economic crisis has not yet broken out, the price is also normal.

When Jobs set the price of Chapter 485 The Starry Sky (2), he proposed nearly a thousand dollars each, but was suppressed by Zhang Yang. In Jobs' understanding, the current iPhone is basically a monopoly product, and there is no other smartphone to compete with it. Such a product only costs so much, which is too cheap.

Think about how much a system sold when Microsoft was monopolizing the operating system? That's software. Except for the cost of the CD, the rest is human resources.

Therefore, although Jobs objected to this price, Zhang Yang is the company's largest shareholder anyway, and although he has the right to exercise the shares, he still has to sell this face to Zhang Yang. In the end, the price of the iPhone became the current price. this price.

You know, the price of the iPhone has become what it is now, and all Apple's previous products will have to be cut in price on a large scale. Fortunately, Jobs and the others also know that the iPhone will be Apple's main product in the future. Influence. Even in order to appease some users who recently purchased MP3 products, Apple has paid a considerable loss for this. In the three months before the day when Apple announced the price of the iPhone, anyone who purchased Those who have used MP3 products will get a 50% refund.

Fortunately, there were not many other electronic products of Apple within three months, but it still cost Apple more than one billion US dollars.

May 1st is International Labor Day. This day is a common holiday for all workers in the world. Most countries have statutory holidays on this day. Today, almost 60% of the world's population is almost at home. Watch the news conference about Apple's Star Group for the iPhone.

There is no way, who let the news media from all over the world broadcast this press conference, and these people can't watch it if they want to. "Today is a special day, and maybe the world will remember this day in the future, because this day not only represents the rise of the two companies, but also represents the birth of a new epoch-making product, perhaps in the future, Our handsets will all transform into this kind of multifunctional smart terminal that is 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 China, but a press conference will also be held in the headquarters of Apple 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 in the evening. But because the real executives of the two companies, Jobs, Li Keqing, Chen Xiaowei, etc., are all on the Chinese side, the press conference on the Star Group side gathered the most reporters.

"Thank you to all the reporters and friends who came to the Star Group and Apple's press conference. In order to thank you, we have made a small discount for you today. If you intend to buy iPhones or ipad products, come here today. All journalist friends can enjoy a 20% discount with their press cards." Coming up, Jobs smiled and announced something that excited all the reporters.

The 20% discount doesn't mean much discount, but it buys people's hearts. When these reporters comment, at least they will say something good, right? This bad idea was naturally thought up by Zhang Yang. Anyway, even if it is a 40% discount, Apple and the Star Group have profits. Besides, these reporters and the masters who carry the cameras add up to thousands of people, which is a free gift. How much money is there.

"I believe that many journalists and friends know the purpose of today's press conference. To this end, I will announce a good news. First of all, all Apple users who pre-ordered on Apple's official website, your mobile phone has passed the express delivery of various countries today. The company sent it to your home, guaranteeing that you will be the first users to receive the mobile phone! I believe that most of the users have already received the handset we mailed. In addition, in order to give back to all users, we have sent you a copy A small 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 case, and a handset rope. Many young users like to hang some decorations on the mobile phone, but the mobile phone itself is not hung on these decorations. Objects, and this function is naturally placed on the shell.

This is naturally Zhang Yang's idea based on the accessory kit of the Apple mobile phone in his previous life. You know, no one thinks of this way of making money now, and these products are naturally contracted to some related companies. But 50% of the profits have to be handed over to Apple and the Star Group.

And these mobile phone casings of various shapes and so on undoubtedly gave these users great surprises. Everyone knows that Apple is stubborn, and the shape is always the same. Now they have the opportunity to change themselves. These loyal users of Apple can Are you 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 earlier than the sales in the European and American regions, and the good news I want to tell you now is that this time Apple has sold in recent months. There are 5 million mobile phones in rush production in the Chinese market, and as of 4:45 pm today, according to the news sent back by dealers across the country, these 5 million mobile phones have all been sold out. One-third of the iPad sales have been sold!" Jobs smiled and said the second news.

When the news of Jobs came out, all the reporters went completely crazy. Five million mobile phones sold out in one day? You know, this is not a mobile phone with a few hundred yuan or a thousand yuan, but a high-end mobile phone with a price of 5000 RMB!

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 popular, Zhang Yang did not expect it to be so crazy in China. It seems that the impact of Star Group on domestic consumers is not just ordinary The big one is pretty big!

Even without investigation, Zhang Yang would have guessed that such a terrifying sales volume has a lot to do with Star Group's current domestic reputation! The data announced by Jobs made the eyes of all mobile phone manufacturers who watched the press conference red! In one day, five million units!

These five million mobile phones are 25 billion RMB! This is still the sales volume of one country in China, but the iPhone was launched all over the world at the same time! Uh, although this number makes Zhang Yang feel a little bit pained. Just in China, in one day, Apple has already made a gross profit of 3 billion US dollars.

And Starry Sky Group earned nearly half of it. What kind of horrible money-making efficiency is this?

And at this moment in the United States, when this news also spread to the United States, the Apple stock in the US stock market started a new round of crazy growth again. The press conference ended very quickly, and after the end, the celebratory reception of Apple and Star Group executives will begin immediately.

At the beginning, the madness in the U.S. stock market has spread back, because the U.S. stock market does not have a daily limit. Just after 11 o’clock in the evening, when Zhang Yang and the others were celebrating, Apple’s stock price per share had increased. To the horror price of 232.3 US dollars per share!

You know, just yesterday, the day before the launch of the mobile phone, Apple's stock fell slightly, and the last closing price was $193.67. In just one day, or half a morning, the price per share was 100%. It's almost $40 more!

And Apple's market value has now reached 213.2 billion! And Apple's market capitalization also jumped into the top ten in the global corporate rankings! Reached the sixth place! From the fifth place above, Shell Oil Company's 221.2 billion is only less than 8 billion US dollars! And with the current hotness of Apple's stock, I am afraid it is only a matter of time before it surpasses Shell Oil!

And everyone understands that today is just a hot prelude, and when the global sales appear tomorrow, 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. Looking back at its current market value, it is naturally not so 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 nothing new. In fact, before the press conference, various domestic media have sent people to pay attention to the US stock market. For the media, this is eye-catching news.

So when Apple's stock started to rise, these media directly broadcast the news to everyone. The rise of Apple's stock means that Star Group's investment is even more enviable, which means that the wealth of the richest man in the world... will be even more terrifying .

Putting aside all other money, the stock of Apple Group alone has made Li Keqing's net worth reach 106.6 billion US dollars! This is the first individual whose assets have exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars since the establishment of Forbes Magazine! Looking at the long string of zeros behind Li Keqing's net worth, everyone felt a little speechless. A person's personal assets have already exceeded the GDP of many countries in the world. This... ! ! ! \u003c/p\u003e;
