Chapter 445: Fanatical Media (Part 2)
If it weren¡¯t for the Wall Street Journal report, no one would have realized this problem. But after the Wall Street Journal came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and all the media felt a little crazy. Because the latest Forbes list of the world's richest people has not yet come out, no one has an intuitive concept. However, when the Wall Street Journal published this latest report, everyone suddenly became aware of this problem.
Even Zhang Yang couldn't help but rub his nose when he saw this report. To be honest, Zhang Yang didn't realize this problem. It wasn't until he saw this report that Zhang Yang suddenly realized that he had actually created the world's richest man. . He is no longer the richest man in China. I don¡¯t know how much Bill Gates paid to become the richest man in the world in 2005, but it is definitely not as much as 90 billion US dollars.
When the Wall Street Journal report came out, not only the domestic media reprinted the report directly after a short silence, but even newspapers in some European and American countries reprinted the Wall Street Journal report, and some newspapers even After reprinting, the words "Oriental Miracle" were used to describe this incident.
In just six months, the richest man in the world was born. This can no longer be described as a miracle. It is simply a legend! There is no such birth of a fortune in any period of history, and the name Li Keqing almost instantly became a household name around the world. Foreign media and newspapers are much more influential than domestic ones.
After learning the news, the employees of Starry Sky Group were all shocked. Even they did not expect that their boss would become the richest man in the world. Before, everyone was a little confused. As long as they were in this industry, There is no one who has not heard of Bill Gates. In the past, Bill Gates seemed quite far away from people in China, but now Bill Gates suddenly feels less mysterious. There is someone richer than him.
Looking at the time, it seems that there are still more than ten days at most before the Forbes list of the world's richest people is released. Zhang Yang smiled strangely. It is unknown who will win between Li Keqing and Bill, but the difference is not big. The main reason is that Zhang Yang is in Investment in Pujiang Development Zone can only be said to be invisible investment and cannot be regarded as real property!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, then picked up the phone and called Jobs. Although it was just morning in the United States, Zhang Yang felt that Jobs was already up. Sure enough, Jobs picked up the phone not long after the call was made: "Hello? Mr. Zhang?"
"Haha, it's me, good morning Mr. Jobs." Zhang Yang immediately laughed twice and said.
"Mr. Zhang, should I say good evening?" Jobs also smiled.
"Okay, let's not dwell on this issue anymore. By the way, the Apple online store I mentioned last time, how is it operating now?" Zhang Yang asked quickly.
"Well, now more than 300 companies have joined, and there are more than 10,000 various programs in total." Jobs said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction. Although there is still a long way to go with the hundreds of thousands of applications later, this is already a good start.
"Mr. Jobs, this is what I think. You see, we will launch it globally on May 1st. I wonder if we can accept online reservations? For example, we will launch some marketing strategies. For the top ten orders, we will Give me an iPhone and an iPad for free? And this iPhone and iPad are limited edition in the world, which means they are unique." Zhang Yang suggested quickly.
"Well? That's a good idea. But if you do this, you won't be able to maintain enough mystery." Jobs thought for a while and said with some surprise. This statement is like the limited editions sold by famous sports cars in the world. It's the same as cars, but no one has really done this on mobile phones, but it doesn't matter, it will be available soon.
"We no longer need mystery now. Let me tell you Mr. Jobs, I think what we need now is to give this hot market some excitement." Zhang Yang said quickly.
Jobs thought about it for a while, and then directly agreed with this opinion. It is well known that Apple's products are expensive. For example, Apple's MP3 players once sold for hundreds of dollars each. After accepting Zhang Yang's opinion, Jobs said he would announce the news today.
Zhang Yang had no objection. It was very simple to make Li Keqing the richest man in the world. All it took was Apple's stock to rise sharply. Now Apple's stock has been hovering between 80 and 95. As long as Apple's stock exceeds 100 US dollars per share, then Li Keqing will definitely be the richest man in the world.
Jobs moved much faster than Zhang Yang thought. It seems that everyone is right to say that Jobs is a workaholic. At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Apple held a press conference in the United States. At the press conference, Jobs not only announced the final appearance of the Apple mobile phone, as well as the final appearance, etc., but more importantly, Apple released A piece of news that would never have been released before.
It will be announced on Apple¡¯s website that it will accept pre-orders for Apple mobile phones, and 100 of the top ten pre-orders will be selected from all pre-orders to customize their own unique iPhone and iPad! You know, both iPhone and iPad are only produced in two colors, black and white!
And specialized customization means that it is unique in the world, and there is absolutely no second one! Will this not drive those Apple fans crazy? Although the price of the iPhone announced by Jobs was a bit high, it did not surprise others. In fact, the price is already lower than most people imagine.
After the first press conference of Apple and Star Group, many media predicted the price of iPhone and iPad. Many media followed the previous style and even guessed the terrifying price of more than 1,000 US dollars! But the price announced by Jobs far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Although the price of Apple's sales in various countries around the world is different, there is not much difference abroad. Overall, it is about 599 US dollars! This price definitely exceeded everyone's expectations. You know, before, an Apple MP3 player sold for more than 700 US dollars, but now the entire mobile phone, which integrates MP3, MP4, mobile phone and many other horrible functions, only costs 599 US dollars? !
The price of iPad is even more surprising. It is only $499, which is $100 cheaper than iPhone! However, Apple's domestic sales price has not yet been announced, but Zhang Yang knows that it will definitely not be as outrageous as it was in domestic and foreign countries like in his previous life.
¡°After all, Star Group is still cooperating with the Ministry of National Security. The country will also take this into consideration, and it is estimated that it will be sold to Star Group to save face. Thinking of this, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the key point. He immediately picked up the phone and called Chen Xiaowei, regardless of the fact that it was already close to early morning.
"Hello? What are you doing?" Chen Xiaowei's lazy voice came from the phone. "That's it. Have negotiations with the Ministry of National Security started?" Zhang Yang asked quickly.
"Well, contact has basically started, but the actual negotiations have not started yet? What? What instructions are there?" Chen Xiaowei looked at Zhang Yang strangely and asked.
"Lower the price! Lower the price as hard as you can to make the other party feel embarrassed and feel guilty!" Zhang Yang said quickly.
"Huh? Boss, did I hear you right? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Chen Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief.
"You just do as I say and that's it." Zhang Yang said quickly. In a previous life, the price gap between domestic and foreign iPhones was probably close to 2,000 yuan! This is what the tariffs are about. As long as the higher-ups feel a little embarrassed and relax on the iPhone tariffs, everything will come back!
"Okay, I'm the best at this kind of negotiation." Chen Xiaowei immediately rolled her eyes and said quickly. Zhang Yang was a little speechless. Isn't this nonsense? Everyone is probably good at this kind of negotiation, and they try their best to give benefits to the other party. It would be weird if this kind of negotiation is not easy to negotiate. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang immediately opened Apple's website.
Just when the press conference was held, Apple's official website had officially opened a reservation channel, and Steve Jobs had already said at the press conference that due to initial production capacity constraints, especially touch screen production constraints, iPhone The production numbers of mobile phones and iPads are only about 1 million units each.
The order of delivery of iPhones and iPads will be based on the order numbers on the official website. Except for some specific countries, as far as this news is concerned, at the beginning of the press conference, iPhone and iPad orders were in Shansheng at a terrifying speed. iPads were okay, but the number of orders for iPhones almost exceeded Apple¡¯s official website. The system crashed.
Apple's ordering system can be divided into paid reservations and unpaid reservations. As long as you make a reservation, even if you don't pay online, you can choose to pay at the door. But there is a problem, that is, delivery must be given priority. Take care of users who have paid.
This has caused many users to struggle. After all, Steve Jobs also said that due to limited production capacity, it is impossible to guarantee a sufficient supply of iPhones. What if the iPhone is ordered but the product is out of stock because there is no payment? It can be said that Zhang Yang's idea captured everyone's psychology.
Within an hour after Zhang Yang saw the end of the press conference, the number of iPhone reservations exceeded 100,000department. Although he knew that the sensation caused by launching such a new concept mobile phone in this era was definitely ahead of his time, Zhang Yang never expected it to be so popular. However, seeing that the reservation far exceeded his expectations, Zhang Yang knew that the man in his arms might be the richest man in the world when he wakes up tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Zhang Yang got into bed and went to sleep with Li Keqing, who was already asleep. When Zhang Yang woke up the next morning, he couldn't wait to open Apple's official website. He wanted to see how many iPhones Apple had scheduled to ship out in one day. When Zhang Yang opened Apple's official website, Zhang Yang was dumbfounded!
Zhang Yang rubbed his eyes vigorously and felt a little speechless. It seemed that he had far underestimated the influence of the iPhone. At this moment, the number of reservations on the official website has exceeded 2 million units! But it is still rising at a terrifying rate.
And Zhang Yang took a look and found that there were more than 2.3 million mobile phones in total, of which less than 100,000 were unpaid, and the remaining 2.2 million had been paid! In other words, in one day, Apple has already earned US$1.3 billion in revenue! And this 2.3 million units does not include the number of iPad reservations.
Seeing this terrifying number, Zhang Yang subconsciously opened Google and searched for Apple¡¯s stock. If the predetermined number of stocks didn¡¯t rise, he wouldn¡¯t believe it even to death! The U.S. stock market does not have a daily limit, but a lower limit. When Zhang Yang opened the closing price of Apple's stock and looked at it, Zhang Yang felt that his breathing was completely hot after having seen the general market.
$137.65! per share! Apple's total share capital is 930 million shares, which means that Apple's current market value is US$128 billion! This means that those shareholders who paid nearly half of their shares have not only recovered their cost, but have doubled their previous holdings!
And now, not counting any other market value of Star Group, Li Keqing¡¯s net worth has reached US$57.6 billion just because of Apple¡¯s shares! He has firmly surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world! I'm afraid that in the next ten days or so, the top of the latest Forbes list of the world's richest people will be replaced by a Chinese name!
Looking at this market value, Zhang Yang was very excited. Once upon a time, Zhang Yang had thought about such a scene. When would the world's richest man become the richest man himself? When this scene really comes true, Zhang Yang still has the guts to do it. Not quite a real feeling.
In fact, not only is Zhang Yang excited, the media around the world has become completely fanatical. Especially the American media. After Apple held its latest press conference yesterday, along with the terrifying pre-orders of Apple mobile phones, Apple¡¯s stock price on the stock market began to rise horribly like a shot of chicken blood.
By the time the market closed, it had reached around $138! This price made the financial experts who were questioning whether Apple had taken medicine some time ago speechless and would have given up so many shares! Everyone is not an idiot. Of course they understand that although it seems that Apple gave up 45% of its shares, now they have not only earned everything back, but have doubled it! - Didn't finish reading?
