"Apple releases a new generation of mobile phones, and Steve Jobs claims to subvert the mobile phone era!"
Su Wang looked at a series of company documents compiled by Gao Tingting. When he saw Apple mentioned in the foreign version, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Regarding Apple, to be honest, when Su Wang first learned about this company, he started with Apple mobile phones. If he remembers correctly, the Apple 4, which established Apple's dominance in mobile phones, seemed to have been launched this year.
Su Wang didn't understand how popular the iPhone 4 was abroad. He was just in college at that time, so how could he care about foreign news? To put it mildly, he didn't even know how to circumvent the firewall at that time. He was a true law-abiding person.
citizen.
But he certainly knew how popular the Apple 4 was in China. The original price of the phone was just over 4,000, but it was priced at more than 10,000 in China, and it was even called a kidney machine.
"This is an opportunity to make money."
Su Wang made a decision in his mind and decided to go abroad and meet the legendary Steve Jobs.
"Mr. Su, do you want to go abroad?"
When Gao Tingting heard that Su Wang asked her to arrange a travel pass and visa, she was stunned for a while, but as an assistant, whatever the boss said was what she said, not to mention that Gao Tingting was very grateful to Su Wang at this moment.
"Well, I have to meet someone!"
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. Mr. Su, just provide me with your ID card information."
Applying for a visa is not a simple matter for most people in Guangfeng County, but for Gao Tingting, it is not difficult at all. With Sun Liancheng's local connections, the Exit Management Office can easily review it.
The procedure that normally takes half a month was completed in three days under Gao Tingting's operation. As long as there were no problems with the US Customs, the preliminary work for Su Wang's trip abroad would be considered complete.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Su Wang and Gao Tingting took a plane to Magic City, and then transferred to a flight abroad from Magic City International Airport.
…
“Is this California?”
After getting off the plane, Gao Tingting had a special emotion in her eyes. For any famous college student, the United States is their first choice for studying abroad, especially for the technology industry. Although Gao Tingting is not a technical major, she is studying in college.
During this period, she also applied for IELTS and TOEFL, and also had the dream of going abroad.
"Why, are there some differences as you imagined?"
Su Wang saw Gao Tingting's dazed expression and asked with a smile.
"A little bit."
Gao Tingting nodded. In the literature she had read about foreign countries in the past, the most mentioned words were freedom, openness, prosperity...
But judging from the buildings you see when you get off the plane, they are no different from second-tier cities in China.
"Are they Mr. Su and Ms. Gao?"
At the exit of the airport, a Chinese in his thirties saw Su Wang and Gao Tingting walking out of the station and quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Yes, who are you?"
"Hello, I am Mr. Yang's assistant. Mr. Yang was originally going to pick up the two of you in person, but he had to go to Silicon Valley because of something unexpected. Mr. Yang asked me to apologize to you. As for your itinerary in California,
Mr. Yang asked me to accompany him."
"Say thank you to Mr. Yang for me."
Su Wang nodded and followed him into the car. Gao Tingting on the other side was a little confused because she didn't know who the man in front of her was, let alone who the Mr. Yang he mentioned was.
During this trip abroad, Su Wang only told her the address and purpose. He was here to visit Apple in California, but the star in front of him was not an employee of Apple.
"Mr. Su, you also have friends abroad."
Hearing Gao Tingting's insidious inquiry, Su Wang didn't hide anything and answered directly: "We met through a friend of a friend. When you go out, you have to find an acquaintance to guide you."
"So that's it, Mr. Su, this Mr. Yang should be very powerful in California."
When she was on the plane earlier, Gao Tingting was a little worried that her boss might be too naive. Apple is a listed company, and the CEO of a listed company could not be seen so casually. She was afraid that her boss would eat him by then.
Closed door.
Now it seems that my boss has already arranged it, and I am worrying in vain.
She can even find friends abroad, which gives Gao Tingting a better understanding of her boss's energy. Perhaps her boss's energy may be more than what she knows.
"Well, this Mr. Yang is very energetic, the founder of Yahu."
Knowing what Gao Tingting wanted to know, Su Wang made it clear.
"Ahem..."
Gao Tingting felt that she was shocked by the news. She couldn't help coughing a few times to cover up her inner shock. At this moment, she looked at Su Wang with a kind of uplifting emotion.
The founder of Yahu is also named Yang. Apart from Yang Zhijin, who is known as the number one Internet person of the century, there is no one else.
Even if she is not an Internet professional, Gao Tingting is no stranger to Yahu. Even though Baidu has taken the majority of domestic search engines now, Yahu’s name is familiar to everyone who has come into contact with the Internet.
Like thunder.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that many domestic Internet companies have Yahu’s presence behind them.
Gao Tingting never thought that her boss would know such a big shot, and even be able to send an assistant to receive him. At the same time, she realized where her boss's confidence came from.
If the founder of Yahu comes forward, the boss of Apple will naturally have to give face.
Feeling the change in Gao Tingting's mood, Su Wang sighed slightly in his heart. Although Su Hu had begun to decline slowly at this time, the halo above his head was still there. After another five or six years, Su Hu would have completely declined.
It was even acquired by others in the end and completely withdrew from the Internet stage.
Of course, as Gao Tingting was shocked, Yang Zhijin was still a big boss at this time, and the reason why Su Wang was able to contact this big boss was through Chen Binghao of Kaixin.com.
Kaixin.com wanted to raise funds, and Yahu was very interested in Kaixin.com. Yang Zhijin and Chen Binghao had communicated many times in private and no less than ten times on the phone. Su Wang was aware of these situations, so he contacted Chen Binghao.
Fucked Yang Zhijin.
As for Yang Zhijin, he knows the equity structure of Kaixin.com and also knows that Su Wang is a shareholder of Kaixin.com. If Yahu wants to raise funds to enter Kaixin.com, he must obtain the consent of the shareholders. Naturally, he also
I am willing to sell Su Wang this face to become good friends with Su Wang.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Kaixin.com is currently very favored by capital. In contrast, Xiaonei.com is slowly being squeezed by Kaixin.com. The reason is very simple. In addition to always lagging behind Kaixin.com in terms of development, there is another point.
The reason is the combination of Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com.
Fanfou.com provides a powerful traffic entrance to Kaixin.com. Of course, Kaixin.com also provides Fanfou.com. The two websites cooperate with each other, which has led to many domestic netizens becoming accustomed to visiting Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com.
To put it in one sentence, articles on Kaixin.com can be shared on Fanfou.com and discussed with netizens, but not on Xiaonei.com. Fanfou.com blocks the port connection of Xiaonei.com.
It’s not that Fanfou.com is willing to give up users of Xiaonei.com for Kaixin.com. The reason is that Xiaonei.com knows that Fanfou.com and Kaixin.com are closely related, so Xiaonei.com chose Tencent Weibo for cooperation, but it never thought of Tencent.
Weibo is a weakling that cannot be supported. With Tencent’s huge traffic entrance, it is still half-dead.
As for Fanfou.com, it has a very good relationship with Kaixin.com, and if your school network chooses to cooperate with my competitor, then I will definitely block you.
This is the same as the link to kill a certain treasure on WeChat in later generations.
In more than two years, Kaixin.com has caught up with Xiaonei.com and become the number one social networking site in China. Naturally, it will be favored by capital. Yahu has been investing in the domestic Internet in the past few years, so naturally it is not willing to let Kaixin go.
Internet.
Because Yang Zhijin was not here, Su Wang declined Yang Zhijin's assistant's invitation to visit Yahu Company, and instead returned to the hotel to catch the jet lag. After all, it took fifteen hours to fly from Shanghai to California, and there was a time difference between the two cities.
It’s also big. If you don’t reverse the jet lag, it’s easy to lose energy.
…
After a speechless night, Su Wang got up early the next morning. After Gao Tingting had breakfast at the hotel, she got into assistant Yang Zhijin's car and drove to Apple's headquarters in California.
"As expected of Apple, what a huge headquarters!"
Arriving at Apple's headquarters, Gao Tingting was a little emotional when she saw Apple's floor space. Assistant Yang Zhijin on the side explained: "Ms. Gao, this is nothing. Apple is going to build a new headquarters building soon, and that area is larger.
"
"Apple is really rich. How much does this land cost?"
"It can't be calculated like this. After all, the population here is not particularly large, and generally this kind of land is provided by the government for free. What I hope is that companies can stay here to pay more taxes and provide some jobs."
Su Wang smiled and explained that he quite agreed with the government's policy in this regard. It was the same at home and abroad. Many people complained that the government gave land to big companies for free.
But these people have never thought that with the settlement of these large companies, it will drive local economic development, because first of all, large companies have many employees. With more employees, they need supporting facilities, food, housing, and clothing, which can drive the surrounding areas.
Industrial development, not to mention tax policy.
Of course, these are all digressions. Apple did not keep Su Wang waiting for a long time. Every woman appeared at the door. She seemed to be familiar with Yang Zhijin’s assistant. The two exchanged a few words with a smile, and then they started talking.
He led Su Wang and Gao Tingting towards the high-ranking official floor.
