Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology - Chapter 736
, !
Although users in the United States are not sure why the local launch price is so much higher than that in Europe and Asia, the most important thing now is to grab the phone.
While preparing to line up, users in the United States repeatedly looked for the media, or called Apple directly to inquire about the reason for the difference between the price of local mobile phones in the United States and the price of overseas mobile phones by 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers.
American users definitely want to ask.
After all, the United States is also the headquarters of Apple. For a mobile phone brand headquartered in the United States, its sales price is thousands of dollars more expensive than that of overseas cities. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Apple can only reply to the price difference caused by the production and market factors of the product.
After users get such an answer, they must be very dissatisfied, but it seems that the iphone4s will be officially released soon.
Everyone’s mind is not on the price, so hurry up and queue up, hoping to grab one.
If you can’t grab it and find a scalper to buy it later, the price will definitely be much more expensive than buying it directly in the experience store.
Under Jobs’ arrangement, this time the iphone4s is sold simultaneously in many countries around the world.
At the beginning, Jobs didn’t think much of Xia Guo in his heart.
I feel that Xia Guo’s technology level and people’s consumption level are completely unworthy of Apple.
So whether it is the first iphone2g or iphone3gs, and the iphone4 released last year.
Xia Guo is not the first release country.
In the era of iphone3gs, Xiaguo is not even a country where mobile phones are listed. Users of Xiaguo can only buy parallel mobile phones from overseas at a high price using iphone3gs, and use the method of sticking cards to make this mobile phone suitable for domestic mobile networks.
But this time is completely different. One is that Jobs was treated by Changtian Technology, and he got to know Xia Guo completely and changed his previous biased views on Xia Guo.
The second is that with the development of science and technology in Xia Guo in recent years, especially with the rapid development of 4G network, Changtian Technology has become one of the most developed countries in the communication network. Iphone4s chooses to synchronize with other countries in the world. The start is also reasonable.
Unsurprisingly, the iphone4s has been selling well in many countries and regions such as the United States and Europe.
In Europe, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and other countries, there are long queues outside the iphone experience store. Many consumers even come here one day in advance, just to be able to snap up an iPhone 4s when it officially goes on sale the next day. tower.
October is very cold in the northern hemisphere, and there are still blizzards in parts of the UK.
However, in order to be able to buy the most advanced smartphones in the world, users still stayed up late in the cold to line up. Some users even prepared clothes and tents to keep out the cold, hoping to get the iPhone 4s first in the morning.
In the Shanghai stock market in Xiaguo, Sanlitun in Yanjing, and the business district of Jiangzhou, there are also many users who have been waiting eagerly, hoping to become the first batch of global consumers of iphone4s in the world.
If it is divided according to the economic volume of the city, then Jiangzhou will definitely not be in the forefront of the country, but because the old headquarters of Changtian Technology is in Jiangzhou, Apple also opened the experience store in Jiangzhou, which is completely for Changtian. Heavenly technology face.
October 11, iphone4s officially began to sell.
The event attracted the attention of the global media.
There are many reporters carrying cameras in the local Apple experience store to interview the actual situation of mobile phone sales.
The sales of the Apple Experience Store surprised the reporters – there were too many people!
Users who are about to buy mobile phones have no time to talk to these reporters, but try to queue up and wait anxiously for the number.
Even the payment is rushing to pay by card, just because I am afraid that I will lose my mobile phone one step later.
This pomp is almost synchronized in many countries around the world.
Users buy mobile phones, all of them are snapped up.
Nokia, which was once mighty, or Samsung, which has a global presence and huge sales volume, has never encountered such a situation.
Apple really redefines the phone.
It makes the mobile phone not only a mobile phone, but a very important partner in one’s life as a part of one’s life.
The reporters suddenly discovered something very special.
Something that has never been seen on other brands.
Apple has established its own user group.
These groups of users view the use of iPhones as a belief.
One of the users who lined up to buy said: “I buy an iPhone, not just a mobile phone, but a new way of life.”
Such an answer caused reporters and many people in the mobile phone industry to ponder.
What a great product it is for such users to use it as a way of life.
And some Jobs fans came to line up with a portrait of Jobs.
Some excited consumers also shouted into the microphone and camera.
The first batch of users who were lucky enough to get in front of them got iphone4s. Everyone is also like opening a blind box, wondering whether this batch of iphone4s uses the hardware of Changtian Technology?
Of course, users do not have this technical level, they can only guess which company’s hardware is used by the speed and response of the mobile phone.
Of course, it is not only ordinary users who are queuing to buy mobile phones, but also some mobile phone evaluation experts, reporters and spies of other mobile phone brands.
Soon around 11 o’clock, some technicians dismantled the latest iphone4s.
They were surprised to find that the battery used in the iphone4s came from Changtian Technology Galaxy Energy Company, the camera came from Changtian Technology Seagull Company, the memory and storage came from Changtian Technology Hardware Company, and the US and European versions were from Pascal Company.
Fools all know that the hardware used by Pascal is the carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage of Changtian Technology.
“iphone4s, the whole system uses the standard hardware of Changtian Technology.”
Soon many media published the relevant information.
This time Coke broke consumers.
Users are worried that some mobile phones of iphone4s use the hardware of Changtian Technology, and some mobile phones use the hardware of Samsung or other companies, which will lead to the uneven performance of mobile phones sold in different regions.
Now everyone is relieved.
All mobile phones use the hardware of Changtian Technology.
This made some users who were still on the sidelines flocked to it.
Soon in some big cities’ Apple Experience Stores, the first batch of iphone4s in stock was sold out.
Apple has prepared more than 1 million units this time around the world.
I didn’t expect it to be sold out in just one day. Such exaggerated data made the entire industry and the media industry stunned.
Apple is rushing to restock again.
The vehicle that transported the mobile phone stopped at the door of the foundry. After a mobile phone was packaged, it was immediately sent to the truck.
After collecting enough mobile phones, they hurried to the corresponding retail point.
three days.
iphone4s sold 5 million units.
Swallow the entire Apple stock.
Jobs immediately ordered from the hospital bed to let the major foundries hurry up and produce.
At the same time of production, there must be corresponding hardware.
Jobs also asked Apple headquarters to immediately contact Longline Technology and Pascal Company to buy 15 million carbon crystal storage and carbon crystal memory, 15 million seagull cameras, and 15 million lithium batteries in one go.
These parts will be reserved 3 million for after-sales maintenance, and all other parts will be sent to the foundry for production as soon as possible.
Even in the most brilliant time of Nokia, those so-called emperors have never achieved such impressive results.
“The New York Times” commented: “The entire mobile phone industry has changed.”
Nokia headquarters in Finland.
Ollila looked at Apple’s brilliant record and was very jealous.
Nokia has also worked hard to launch a new mobile phone this year – the Nokia x7 mobile phone.
This phone is still using Nokia’s very mature Symbian system.
And an unprecedented 8-megapixel camera.
In order to be able to make this phone a hot sale.
Nokia has adopted the most common method in the past few years, which is to cooperate with offline channel providers, including those telecommunications providers.
But from the release of the mobile phone to the present, the global sales volume has only exceeded 100,000 units.
The sales of Apple mobile phones in three days actually reached 5 million units.
Such a terrifying gap made Ollila really want to vomit blood.
Simpson has been demoted.
Ollila looked around the entire Nokia, but no one was available.
And in the Xiaguo market, which Nokia is proud of.
The “Heart” brand mobile phone that cooperated with China Mobile also cannot be sold.
It is mainly eroded by a large number of Apple htc Samsung and domestic feature phones to segment the market.
Nokia has been tossing around in recent years.
Now I’m in debt, and I’m about to toss.
And Ollila also noticed that Nokia’s executives and board of directors had the idea of declaring Nokia’s mobile phone business unit bankrupt or selling it to other companies.
The most fundamental reason why Ollila can become Nokia’s CEO is that under his control, Nokia’s mobile phone business has grown by leaps and bounds and has become a global champion in one fell swoop.
If Nokia spins off its mobile phone business and sells it to other companies, then Ollila, the CEO, will definitely face the risk of being dismissed.
This is the outcome Ollila is unwilling to face.
But the times are unpredictable and the development is extremely rapid.
The times will abandon you, and they won’t even say hello to you.
Some uncomfortable, some autistic.
Ollila is a ghost from an Apple experience store in Finland and bought an iphone4s mobile phone.
When he opened and used the iphone 4s, he suddenly found that the Nokia x7 mobile phone he led painstaking research and development was a piece of garbage.
At this time, Ollila’s memory suddenly had a flash of light.
He remembered that a few years ago, Changtian Technology once gave Nokia a prototype of a smartphone, hoping to cooperate with Nokia.
He vaguely felt that the prototype of this smartphone uses a closed operating system developed by Changtian Technology, and its running speed and experience are very similar to those of Apple.
To be precise, it should be countless times better than the current iphone4s.
But at the beginning, Nokia has been addicted to Symbian mobile phones, and mobile phone sales ranked first in the world.
So Ollila didn’t take Changtian Technology’s original invitation to cooperate at all.
After thinking of this, Ollila gratefully asked the secretary to find the mobile phone prototype provided by Changtian Technology.
The secretary immediately asked the relevant staff again, and finally managed to find this phone in a warehouse after a lot of hard work.
At the same time, I also found the manual of this prototype attached to Changtian Technology, as well as some insights into the future development trend of mobile phones.
Ollila charged the phone immediately and turned it on.
The concise firefly os mobile phone version system appeared in front of us.
Ollila carried out a simple operation and compared it with the iphone4s just bought.
He was extremely shocked.
A few years ago, the prototype provided by Changtian Technology is not the same as the iphone4s in terms of experience and smooth operation, but is much more advanced than the iphone4s.
If the iphone4s is an era ahead of the Nokia x7, then the concept mobile phone of Changtian Technology a few years ago is an era ahead of the iphone4s.
With the phone in hand, Ollila slumped on the sofa.
There was a smile on his face.
But this smile is uglier than crying.
Ollila felt like she was about to suffocate.
Nokia had the opportunity to continue to dominate the entire mobile phone era.
Once had the opportunity to step into the smartphone 2.0 era.
And this opportunity was handed to Ollila.
But it was so hasty and contemptuous that Nokia gave up.
Ollila had only one thought.
Everything is arranged by God.
At the beginning, Nokia’s focus on feature phones was because of Changtian Technology’s lithium batteries.
Now Nokia’s mobile phone is far behind the whole era, but also because of Changtian Technology’s hardware.
Laughing and laughing, Ollila suddenly burst into tears and burst into tears.
He very much hopes to re-enable Simpson and re-cooperate with Changtian Technology on this concept phone.
But it’s not what it used to be.
Nokia was in full swing, and now Nokia is in decline.
How could Changtian Technology be willing to cooperate with a decaying Nokia.
The secretary was very shocked when she saw Ollila crying.
This cut in front of Nokia is very likely to be really overwhelmed…

Wang Xiang has been paying attention to the sales of Apple’s mobile phones.
When Wang Xiang saw that 5 million iphone4s mobile phones had been sold out in three days, he was extremely surprised.
If calculated according to the average price of a mobile phone of 5,000 yuan rmb, in just three days, Apple will get 25 billion in cash.
This number is quite scary.
Wang Xiang couldn’t help but complain.
“It’s really profitable to be a fast-selling mobile phone product!”
“In just three days, the cash of consumers around the world was sent to Apple.”
“Apple has no risk at all!”
Chen Xiao smiled and said, “Are you envious?”
Wang Xiang took a sip of water fiercely and said, “How could you not be envious!”
Chen Xiao played with the iphone4s in his hand (the customized version given by Jobs), smiled and said, “We’re almost there!”
