339. Don’t bother with the fire

United States.

Cupertino, Apple headquarters.

"Hey! Steve, you can't go on like this anymore, you have to stop the work you are doing."

The stern voice of Doctor James came from the other side of the phone, "Do you know? Your pancreatic tumor is very rare, but pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors only account for less than 10% of pancreatic tumors, and this tumor grows slowly. It is easy to cure it with comprehensive treatment such as surgical resection, radiation therapy, and drug treatment.

You only need to spend 2 hours to come to me for a resection and you can make you healthy.

Did you know, I saw how you looked recently on the news, and I’ve been losing weight. You can’t continue like this. Steve, I suggest you should have surgery as soon as possible.”

Steve Jobs frowned. He hated being told by others that he had his own principles and methods of dealing with things.

"Oh, come on, I still have a lot of mess to clean up. And I have my own way. I eat apples every day now, and vegetarian food will heal my body.

That's it, James, if I really have any discomfort, I'll contact you."

To be honest, Jobs has really felt very tired recently. He lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

But Jobs didn't have time.

Apple phones are really in a critical period in history, and the operation of the entire company is inseparable from it.

He is Steve Jobs, the world's genius in the field of industrial design and the soul pillar of Apple.

Now that Apple's mobile phone is about to be released, he still has to prepare for Apple's press conference. How could he have time to undergo surgery?

Moreover, according to Jobs' own judgment—

Once the outside media learns his current physical condition, pancreatic cancer will spread, which will inevitably cause Apple's stock price to plummet.

Jobs knows this deeply. He is completely different from Microsoft's Bill Gates. The whole Apple revolves around Jobs. Jobs is the soul of Apple. Once the soul collapses, it will inevitably cause Apple's stock price to plummet, and Microsoft's one-

If he dies, Microsoft's stock price may rise even further.

Thinking of this, Jobs's face couldn't help but feel a smug smile.

"Hey, Steve, have you seen the smartphones sold in China Bomi?" It was at this moment that Chief Marketing Officer Phil walked in from outside the door.

His words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Jobs, making his smile froze on his face.

Jobs's mouth twitched twice, not knowing how to answer Phil.

If anyone in the world is more concerned about Bomi smartphone marketing than Cao Yang, then this person must be Apple's Jobs.

Since he learned that there was such a young genius in the far east who was comparable to him, Jobs was in a bad mood.

From the Bomi smartphone press conference to the present, Jobs has been worried every day and is nervous.

Especially Apple is lagging behind everywhere and is restricted by Bomi, which makes Jobs uncomfortable.

Originally, Apple smartphones should be the first new era smartphone product launched in the world, but now it has been seized by Bomi.

What's even more uncomfortable is that Apple has to pay relevant patent licensing fees for Bomi.

Fortunately, the Apple team successfully negotiated the patent licensing agreement some time ago, otherwise Jobs would not know what to do until now.

"Phil, of course I know. Now it's the Internet era." Jobs said very angrily, "I was following their news as soon as Bomi smartphones were released."

Jobs took off his glasses, placed it on the table next to him, turned his chair and looked at Phil.

"So, let's talk about it, how is Bomi's smartphone now?"

this……

Phil thought to himself, don’t you know everything? What else do you want me to report?

"Bomie smartphones are selling quite well." Phil took the relevant data report and read, "So far, in one week after Boomie mobile phones were released, global sales have exceeded 3.6 million units.

800,000 units were sold in pre-sales.

The sales in China reached an astonishing 2.1 million units. In other countries, India's English version of Bomi smartphones were sold at 300,000 units, Han Country's sales reached 700,000 units, and island countries' sales reached 500,000...

Now, according to our preliminary statistics, Bomi Company's revenue on mobile phones has reached $1.8 billion."

Affected by tariffs, packaging, transportation costs and local agency costs, Bomi smartphones sold abroad are much higher than those in China.

For example, in the Hanguo region, the Bomi 16G smartphone priced at 1.2 million won, which is almost equivalent to 6,800 soft sister coins.

The island countries are also at the same price.

It can be said that Bomi smartphones are an absolute luxury in Hanguo and Dongdao areas.

The gap between the rich and the poor in A San is very large, with many poor people and rich people. This time, the release of Bomi smartphones has shown a very strong sense of high-end and technological sense abroad, so the sales volume is very good.

If it weren't for Boss Cao's priority supply to the country, his income would be at least a little higher than now.

But even so, the sales of US$1.8 billion is amazing.

Even at a profit margin of 15%, Bomi's profit has reached 270 million US dollars, which is much faster than making money by making games.

There are several main reasons why Bomi smartphones can achieve such good sales results -

First, the domestic user market size is very large, and the mobile phone market size in China is as high as 350 million. The pricing strategy of Bomi smartphones in China is quite excellent. High-end phones with 16G storage space are more than 1,000 yuan cheaper than Nokia's same-grade mobile phones, but their performance is far higher than products of the same level.

The 2999 8G small-capacity mobile phone is not much different from 16G in terms of use. Chinese mobile phone users in the middle and lower levels can save up a little money.

It’s not a problem that you can’t sell it now, it’s a problem that Bomi smartphones are out of stock.

Second, the high-end route abroad is actually because Bomi smartphones have to pass on tariffs and transportation costs, so the pricing abroad is much higher than that in China, but this has won the favor of many rich people. Many rich people abroad are worried about not that you sell expensively, but that you are afraid that you sell not expensive enough and cannot highlight their value and value. Bomi smartphones perfectly cater to this point.

Bomi smartphones are not only expensive abroad, but also have a simple, elegant and elegant appearance, advanced performance and design, and have a strong sense of technology.

The same thing is not a problem that cannot be sold now, but a problem that Bomi smartphones are out of stock.

This phone came out of nowhere and was a dimensionality reduction blow to other mobile phone products on the market. If it was not sold well, it would be really a problem.

...

"Water?!"

Jobs closed his eyes, felt a pain on his face, and he was in a bad mood.

This should have been their honor.

It’s a pity that Bomi Smartphone is one step faster than them. Who made Apple phones not fast enough? It’s not easy to apply for research and development and related patents before Bomi Smartphone, and now it’s obviously a bit late to enter.

Just thinking about it, it’s a lot of money to sell millions of smartphones in a quarter.

If Apple makes the first move, Apple's stock price will rise.

"Phil, this number should have belonged to us, a pity," Jobs sighed, "we're one step late."

"It's not too late," said Phil. "The better thing is that Bomi mobile phones have not yet obtained the Omi area's release license. This is also the relevant protection policies are tilting towards us. In fact, it is a good thing for Apple. We should hurry up and sell it. It should be no problem to occupy the local market in the next few years."

At least Bomi smartphones proved a little for them-

This new touch-controlled mobile phone design is very market-prospect, which can be seen from their sales.

The future will inevitably be the world of smartphones.

As long as Apple can stabilize and do research and development well, it is not impossible to come from behind.

For the world, the market has never been the only one. In the end, multiple giants will compete with each other.

"What's more, we have very loyal Apple users," said Phil. "Our operating system is still very different from Bomi smartphones. We use IOS, Bomi smartphones use Hongmeng operating system, and the core user groups in the future are different, so Steve, you don't have to worry too much about this."

"Yes." When Jobs heard what he said, his expression on his face calmed down a little, not as uncomfortable as before.

"Steve, you'd better take a break lately," before leaving the door, Phil raised his finger and circled around his face, signaling Jobs, "Your face is not very good."

"You know, in two days, we need you, Steve."

"I know," said Jobs.

...

Although there is no accurate Bomi Company's financial report, the sales of Bomi smartphones are already an open secret. There are still many third-party companies doing related sales statistics, so people can roughly evaluate how many phones Bomi sold and how much money it made.

Bomi's smartphone sales directly ignited the mobile phone market around the world.

Many people are worried about old-fashioned traditional mobile phone manufacturers. Since the emergence of Bomi's smartphones, many high-end mobile phones of the same price have basically been in a state of unsalable sales, such as Nokia N73 and Samsung D908...

Many mobile phones are new products just developed this year, and even Samsung phones are equipped with high-definition cameras of up to 2 million pixels. Unexpectedly, they will face the terrible fate of elimination as soon as they come out.

This is something that can't be tolerated in any company.

Distributors in various places now do not want to reduce the price of related mobile phone products because the cost of selling is too high, so they want to wait and see for a while.

In fact, the truth is very simple -

The production of Bomi smartphones is limited. When this batch of mobile phones is sold out, naturally other mobile phones on the market will be able to reach the demand gap. If you can't buy Bomi smartphones, you may consider other mobile phone products, and it may not be certain.

...

Since Alibaba Ma made a bet with Boss Cao at CCTV's annual economic figure awards ceremony, this time, because Bomi's smartphone sales were so good, the reporters asked in a public speech by Ma Yun:

"Mr. Ma, what do you think of the excellent sales results achieved by Bomi smartphones this time?

Now, less than half a month after Bomi mobile phones were released, sales have exceeded 3.6 million units, and the total revenue is at least 1.8 billion US dollars. Alibaba's annual revenue may not be able to keep up with the revenue of this half month. Do you still have confidence to win this war? Are you confident that you can surpass Bomi within 5 years?"

This is a damn...
