By this year, that is, in 2006, as Apple's music store and IPOD continued to sell well, the company's stock price had risen a lot...

At the beginning, Wang Ye bought all the 160 million additional shares issued by Apple for $5 per share. He accounted for 16% of Apple's shares and was also the largest shareholder!

Now, Apple's stock price has risen to more than 160 US dollars!

From this investment alone, Wang Ye has made more than 25 billion US dollars!

Of course, with so many shares, it is very difficult to cash out. If Wang Ye really sold so many Apple shares to the market, Apple's stock price would plummet and depreciate significantly.

After all, he is the largest shareholder of Apple. If even the largest shareholder wants to cash out and run away, other investors must also feel that they are in danger and rush to cash out and leave.

But only Wang Ye knows where this is going!

When the IPHONE and IPAD are launched in the future, Apple's market value will continue to soar. At its peak, the company's market value may even exceed three trillion US dollars!

At that time, the 16% of the shares he holds will be worth nearly 500 billion US dollars...

Moreover, in addition to the soaring stock price, in a few years when the cash in Apple's account will be too much to run out, the company will also start paying large dividends. The most outrageous thing is that it paid dividends directly to shareholders four times in one year!

Highlights a wealthy person.

Therefore, Wang Ye has no intention of cashing out these shares at all. He will hold them for at least ten years, and then slowly cash out part of them when Apple's market value is close to its peak.

Anyway, I don’t have anywhere that needs large sums of money now, so why kill the goose that lays the eggs?

…………

"Mr. Mikhail, I wonder if you have time to visit Apple headquarters recently. Our epoch-making product has been successfully developed!"

On the phone, Gang Leader Qiao's voice sounded slightly trembling, and he was obviously a little excited.

Of course Wang Ye understands what the "epoch-making product" that Gang Leader Qiao refers to, it must be the IPHONE!

Moreover, when this project was first established, many shareholders on the board of directors were against it, because many directors believed that there was no need to develop mobile phones. Competition among mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, and Blackberry has already become fierce.

This is a Red Sea market!

But Wang Ye firmly stood by Gang Leader Qiao and supported his opinions.

That is to say, with the support of Wang Ye, the major shareholder, Gang Leader Qiao was able to officially establish the mobile phone project. Under a strict confidentiality system, the entire project team worked on research and development for more than three years. Today, Gang Leader Qiao finally came up with a mobile phone project.

Satisfactory product comes.

Gang Leader Qiao also hopes that Wang Ye can take a look at this product in person and give some opinions. After all, it is his first time to make a mobile phone product, and he is really unsure.

Although Wang Ye is not an industry insider, at the beginning of the project, he told himself some very critical and important suggestions about the product. For example, this new mobile phone must be different from all mobile phones on the market, and all mobile phone keyboards must be cancelled.

, adopt a full touch screen design, turn the mobile phone into a microcomputer, develop your own mobile operating system, etc...

I have to say that some of these suggestions coincide with Gang Leader Qiao’s own ideas!

Therefore, he believes that Wang Ye, a young man, is very visionary and has a strong acumen for the future development of the mobile phone industry, and his opinions are worthy of reference...

As for Wang Ye's current identity, it's not that Gang Leader Qiao doesn't know it, but he doesn't care about it at all. Even if Wang Ye's official position is high, what does it have to do with him.

…………

Hearing Gang Leader Qiao say this, Wang Ye also felt happy.

Even though he already knew that Apple's product that was about to change the world would be released in early 2007, his mood was different when things actually came to light.

Why don't you go to America...

Wang Ye needs to think about this.

On the one hand, the last time he went to the United States left very bad memories for Wang Ye.

On the other hand, if he says that he has not offended the United States with his series of actions in Eastern Europe and Africa in recent years, he is obviously deceiving himself.

Wang Ye was really worried that after he went there, he wouldn't accidentally have an "accident"!

If you can do some things, of course others can do it, and maybe others are even more experienced in doing it than you are...

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ye replied with a smile:

“I’ve been too busy here recently and have to visit many countries, so I may not be able to spare time to go to the United States.

But don’t worry, I probably have an idea of ​​what the new product will look like.

Although this product is a new starting point for Apple, it will definitely change a lot of things, but you have to know that many things cannot be rushed.

Like I told you before, play slow and iterate fast.

In my opinion, although this first product is amazing, it is far from being able to change the global mobile phone industry. I am even more looking forward to the new products next year and the year after that.

I predict that it will probably take the third or even fourth generation of products to truly change the world, and the sales volume of this first-generation product may only be one or two million units..."

Regarding Apple's upcoming mobile phone products, Wang Ye's suggestion is to launch only one new model every year, concentrating all the company's resources and technology, so that each new model will have a big breakthrough and sufficient selling points.

!

As for the sales volume he predicted, of course it is not a random guess, but the real historical sales volume of Apple mobile phones in Wang Ye's previous life...

Contrary to what many people imagine, Apple’s mobile phones did not become popular all over the world as soon as they were launched.

The first-generation iPhone was only sold in North America, and the supply chain had not yet been fully established, and the self-developed mobile phone system had not yet been officially launched, so sales were not high, with only more than 1.3 million units.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is completely incomparable with the major mobile phone brands of the same period, such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, etc.!

However, the second-generation iPhone 3G was officially equipped with Apple's own mobile operating system IOS 1, and began to be sold to more countries, so sales began to skyrocket, with annual sales reaching more than 11 million units.

By the third generation, the iPhone 3GS, sales had doubled from the previous year to just over 20 million.

The fourth generation, the classic iPhone 4, is the first to be equipped with Apple's self-developed A series processor, the first to be equipped with a Retina screen, the first to add the FaceTime video call function, and the first to introduce front and rear double tempered glass into the mobile phone casing.

Used on the Internet, iPhone 4 is also the most classic iPhone product in Qiao Bangzhu’s era, and it was this iPhone 4 that opened the door to the Chinese market!

Sales doubled again to 40 million!

The fifth generation, Qiao Gangzhu’s swan song, iPhone 4S, has sold more than 70 million units.

The sixth generation, the first new phone in the Cook era, iPhone 5, has sold 120 million units!

After that, 150 million units, 200 million units...

Mobile phones have also become Apple's core business. Because of the iPhone's global sales, the company's market value has skyrocketed year after year. It is the first giant company to become a trillion-dollar market value, the first market value to exceed two trillion, three trillion...

At its peak, Apple accounted for more than 100% of the profits of the global mobile phone industry!

It sounds outrageous and ridiculous, but that's just because other mobile phone manufacturers have cut too much. Many brands not only failed to make money, but also incurred huge losses. Therefore, the combined profits of the entire industry are actually lower than Apple's profits.

…

…………

Gang Leader Qiao was a little sorry to hear that Wang Ye could not come to the company headquarters, but he could understand it.

He responded with a smile: "Well, this product will be mass-produced soon. However, because of the tight schedule, we only plan to sell it in North America for the time being. The product launch is tentatively scheduled for early November. If it comes

If you have time, you can come to the press conference. After all, that day is also a historic day for Apple."

It would be a bit bad if he continued to shirk it. After all, Gang Leader Qiao also sincerely invited him, hoping that he could also witness history together.

Wang Ye smiled and agreed. At worst, he would fly directly to the press conference on the same day, and then fly back directly after the press conference...

…………

Wang Ye's trip to Jifu has caused considerable repercussions around the world.

Not to mention the neighboring countries, the member countries of the Economic Mutual Aid Organization and the Collective Protection Organization originally wanted to embrace Da Mao, but now that they saw the so-called integration agreement signed by Da Mao and Ermao, everyone's minds became more active.

In this case, should I also sign the same agreement with Da Mao?

Everything has two sides, and there are good sides and bad sides, and this integration agreement is no exception.

The good side, of course, is that you can rely on the relatively stronger national power and economy of the United Kingdom to help your country develop faster, so that integrated countries can exchange their needs and have freedom like the EU countries.

Trade exchanges, and even the currency can be unified in the future, and everyone will unite to form a strong whole!

In this way, when encountering any big risks, you don't have to worry about being unable to withstand it because you have so many brotherly countries on your back.

But the disadvantage is that in this integrated organization, Da Mao is the "big brother who takes the lead." As the younger brother, he must maintain the same direction as the "big brother" in many aspects, such as military diplomacy, etc. Correspondingly, it means reducing

A lot of autonomy...

Whether to promote integration with Mao Zedong or not, the thoughts of the rulers of each country are naturally different.

Some people eagerly want to join this integration without thinking, such as Sanmao...

Some countries are not too interested in integrating with Mao, or they have too many concerns for the time being. Many details still need to be further discussed with Ke Gong and Wang Ye before they can decide whether to join.

Representatives in this regard are naturally several countries of Stan.

…………

Speaking of Belarus, also known as Sanmao, we have to mention one person, and that is Luka Cisco!

This is also a ruthless man. He is only in his early fifties this year, but he has already served as the president of Belarus for two terms. He can be described as a "giant" in Minsk politics!

This year, he had just won the election and started his third term as president. During the inauguration ceremony, his adoptive father personally went over to celebrate him.

Because Lukasko is a very staunch "pro-Russian" person and has a very close relationship with Mao.

Even as early as the 1990s, it was proposed to promote integration with Mao, but because the situation on Mao's side was still relatively chaotic at the time, the matter was never finalized.
To be continued...
