    Chapter 485: This Starry Sky (2)

    Apple¡¯s products have never been mid- to low-end products, there is no doubt about this, so even if there are tariffs, the price of domestic iPhones is basically in sync with foreign countries, but it still reaches the price of 4999!  This price is more expensive than the iPhone 4 in my previous life, but this was not decided by Zhang Yang. You must know that foreign prices are even a little higher than this if based on international exchange rates.

    In my previous life, iPhones a few years ago were cheaper than this, but I have forgotten that just a few months ago, an Apple MP3 player sold for US$500 or US$600!  Moreover, the global market is now in a state of high fever, and the economic crisis has not yet broken out, so the price is normal.

    When Jobs set the price at the time, he proposed nearly a thousand dollars each, but was later suppressed by Zhang Yang.  In Jobs' understanding, the current iPhone is basically a monopoly product. There is no other smartphone to compete with it. It is too cheap to sell such a product for such a small price.

    Think about it when Microsoft had a monopoly on operating systems. How much did a system cost?  That's software. Except for the CD, which counts as cost, the rest is human resources.  Therefore, although Jobs had objections to the price, because Zhang Yang was the company's largest shareholder anyway, although the right to exercise the shares was in his hands, the face still had to be sold to Zhang Yang. In the end, the iPhone's price became what it is today.  this price.

    You know, with the price of iPhone becoming what it is now, Apple¡¯s previous products will have to be reduced in price on a large scale. Fortunately, Steve Jobs and others also know that iPhone will be Apple¡¯s flagship product in the future. If the price of things like MP3 is reduced, then the price will be reduced.  No impact.  Even in order to appease some users who have recently purchased MP3 products, Apple has paid a considerable loss for this. In the first three months before Apple announced the price of iPhone, anyone who purchased MP3 products will receive 50% of the discount.  Refund.

    Fortunately, Apple didn¡¯t produce many other electronic products within three months, but it still cost Apple more than a billion dollars.

    May 1st is International Labor Day. Because this day is a common holiday for all workers around the world, most countries have statutory holidays on this day. Today, almost 60% of the world¡¯s population is almost at home.  Watching the press conference held by Apple-Star Group for iPhone mobile phone.

    There is no way, who made the news media all over the world broadcast this press conference, even if these people want to watch it.  "Today is a special day. Perhaps the world will remember this day in the future, because this day not only represents the rise of two companies, but also represents the birth of a new epoch-making product. Perhaps in the near future,  Our mobile phones will transform into multi-functional smart terminals that are more like personal computers." This sentence is basically the opening report of most media.

    In the end, the location of this press conference was in China, but a press conference will also be held at the headquarters of Apple in the United States. Two press conferences will be held at the same time. The difference is that one is in the morning and the other is in the evening.  But because the real top executives of the two companies, including Steve Jobs, Li Keqing, and Chen Xiaowei, are all here in China, the Star Group's press conference has the largest number of reporters.

    "Thank you to all the journalists who came to attend the press conference of Star Group and Apple. In order to thank you, we have made a small discount for you today. If you are interested in buying iPhone or iPad products, you are here today.  All journalist friends can enjoy a 20% discount with their press cards." When he came up, Jobs smiled and announced something that excited all the reporters.

    ?? 20% off, it doesn¡¯t mean much, but it wins people¡¯s hearts. When these reporters comment, they will at least say something nice, right?  Zhang Yang naturally came up with this bad idea. Anyway, even if it is 40% off, both Apple and Star Group will make a profit. Besides, these reporters and the masters carrying cameras add up to thousands of people, so it is just a free gift.  How much money do you have.

    "I believe many journalist friends know the purpose of today's press conference. To this end, I will announce a piece of good news. First of all, for all Apple users who have pre-ordered on Apple's official website and support Apple, your mobile phone has been shipped by express delivery from various countries today.  The company has sent it to your home, and we guarantee that you will be the first user to receive the mobile phone! And I believe that most users have already received the mobile phone we mailed. In addition, in order to give back to all users, we have sent you a small  A small gift." Jobs smiled and said to all the users in front of the TV.

    In fact, these gifts are also very simple, a protective film for the mobile phone screen, a specially customized and beautiful case, and a mobile phone string. Many young users like to hang some decorations on their mobile phones.But the phone itself has no place to hang these decorations, and this function is naturally placed on the casing.

    This is naturally an idea that Zhang Yang came up with based on the accessory packages of Apple mobile phones in his previous life. You know, no one thinks of this method of making money now, and these products are naturally contracted to some related companies.  But 50% of the profits will be given to Apple and Star Group.

    These various shapes of mobile phone cases have undoubtedly given these users a big surprise. Everyone knows that Apple is stubborn and the appearance is always the same. Now they have the opportunity to change themselves. These loyal Apple users can  Not happy?

    "The second good news is that everyone knows that due to the time difference, the Asia-Pacific market sells about twelve hours earlier than the European and American markets. And now the good news I tell you is that this time Apple has  There are 5 million mobile phones in rush production in the Chinese market, and as of 4:45 this afternoon, judging from the news sent back by dealers across the country, all 5 million mobile phones have been sold out.  Sales of iPads have also been sold out by one-third!" Jobs said the second piece of news with a smile.

    When the news about Jobs came out, all the reporters went completely crazy.  Five million mobile phones sold out in one day?  You know, this is not the kind of mobile phone that costs several hundred or one thousand yuan, but a high-end mobile phone priced at 5,000 RMB!

    Don't call these reporters crazy. Zhang Yang, who got the news in the afternoon, found it unbelievable. Although he knew that the iPhone would be popular, Zhang Yang didn't expect it to be so crazy in China. It seems that Star Group's impact on domestic consumers is not just ordinary.  It's big, it's quite big!

    Even without investigation, Zhang Yang could guess that such terrifying sales volume has a lot to do with Star Group¡¯s current reputation in the country!  The data announced by Jobs made all the mobile phone manufacturers watching the press conference red-eyed!  Five million units in one day!

    These five million mobile phones are 25 billion RMB!  This is the sales volume of a country in China, but the iPhone was launched globally at the same time!  Well, although this number makes Zhang Yang feel a little pained.  In just one day in China, Apple has made a gross profit of US$3 billion.  And Starry Sky Group made nearly half of it. What kind of terrifying money-making efficiency is this?

    At this moment in the United States, when this news also reached the United States, Apple stock in the U.S. stock market once again began a new round of crazy growth.  The press conference ended quickly, and after it ended, the celebration reception for the top executives of Apple and Star Group was about to begin.

    At the beginning, the madness in the U.S. stock market had spread back, because the U.S. stock market did not have a daily limit. Just after 11 o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Yang and others were celebrating, Apple's stock price per share had increased to  A terrifying price of $232.3 per share!

    You know, just yesterday, the day before the mobile phone was launched, Apple's stock fell slightly, and the final closing price was US$193.67. In just one day, or half a morning, the price per share was  It¡¯s up nearly $40!

    And Apple¡¯s market value has now reached 213.2 billion!  Apple's market value has also jumped into the top ten in the global enterprise rankings!  Reached sixth place!  There is only a difference of less than 8 billion US dollars from the fifth place above, Shell Oil Company's 221.2 billion!  And with the current popularity of Apple¡¯s stock, it¡¯s probably only a matter of time before it surpasses Shell Oil!

    And everyone understands that today is just a hot prelude. When global sales appear tomorrow, the price of this stock will probably still rise!  $213.2 billion!  This price makes people feel dizzy. Only Zhang Yang is not too shocked. There is no way. Before Zhang Yang was reborn, Apple's stock price was already more than 360 US dollars per share, and the market value was already hovering around 370 billion US dollars. Back to  Looking back at its current market value, naturally it is not very shocking.

    The only thing that excites Zhang Yang is half of the 213.2 billion is his!  The rise in Apple's stock market is nothing new. In fact, before the press conference, various domestic media had already sent people to pay special attention to the U.S. stock market. Regardless of whether Apple's stock fell sharply or rose sharply due to today's events,  For the media, this is eye-catching news.

    So when Apple's stock started to rise, these media also directly reported the news to everyone. The rise of Apple's stock meant that Star Group's investment was even more enviable, which also meant that the wealth of the world's richest man would be even greater.  fear.

    Putting aside all other money, Apple Group¡¯s stocks alone have made Li Keqing¡¯s net worth reach 106.6 billion US dollars!  This is the first individual whose assets exceed 100 billion US dollars since the founding of Forbes magazine!  Looking at the long string of zeros behind Li Keqing's net worth, everyone felt a little speechless.?Assets have exceeded the GDP of many countries around the world.
