    Chapter 525 Starry Sky (1)

    "Hello fellow journalists, I don't know how many times this press conference has been held by Star Group, but I still want to thank all the journalists for coming." Li Keqing stood on the rostrum with a smile. Today's press conference  It was Li Keqing who came directly to open the meeting. Because today's press conference may represent a change in the world's industry in the future, it is better for Li Keqing to announce it in person at this moment.

    Looking at the flash below, Li Keqing smiled and paused: "I believe everyone is wondering why Star Group and Apple will jointly hold this press conference again. Today I am here to tell you! The reason why Apple and Star Group are here again today  , because Apple Co., Ltd. will officially reach a new cooperation agreement with Star Group. One of the themes of today¡¯s press conference is that Apple Co., Ltd. will officially release the second generation of the iPhone series! This phone will be launched in January 2006  It will officially go on sale on the 1st!¡±

    With a "boom" sound, following Li Keqing's announcement, the venue below immediately became heated as if a gasoline bomb had been thrown into it. All the reporters pressed the shutter in their hands with some incredible madness.  Because everyone knows that the iPhone series is very popular now, so although there are rumors that Apple is developing the second generation of iPhone, everyone predicts that iPhone 2 will not be released until at least two years or even three years later.  Sale, because iPhone is now almost a monopoly, and with such huge profits, there is no rush to develop new products.

    Because the current iPhone 1 still has considerable profit margins, but all reporters and analysts did not expect that Apple would go against the norm and go in the opposite direction and propose the release of iPhone 2 so soon. Although the release date is far away, since  Now being released means that the iPhone 2 generation has made some technological breakthroughs. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened.

    "Second, the restructuring of Star Heavy Industries has been completed, and will be submitted to the Hong Kong stock market for review and listing application within a certain period of time!" Li Keqing announced the second news, and now all the reporters were even more uproar, and everyone was  They all recorded something in their own notebooks or notebooks.

    "Third, regarding Star Group's flagship products, there will be a special introduction in a moment. In the future, all of your lives may be closely related to Star Group's products? Next, I will ask Mr. Jobs to demonstrate the iPhone 2 products to you." Li Keqing  There was no explanation, just enough suspense.

    Although the reporters below are very anxious, they are already used to it. Which press conference of Star Group has not left the suspense till the end?  Although everyone finds it incredible and feels that Apple is undoubtedly squeezing the sales ability of its own products by doing this, and it may even be counterproductive. At least now many users have just purchased iPhone 1, and you have withdrawn from iPhone 2. Isn¡¯t this clear to let the previous users have opinions?  ?

    "Thank you all for your participation. Now I am announcing several decisions on behalf of Apple. First, regarding the sales of iPhone 1, Apple will continue to sell iPhone 1 in the next few months, but the production of iPhone 1 will decrease year-on-year. All of our  The production force will be concentrated on iPhone 2. In addition, all users who purchased iPhone 1 will be able to exchange for iPhone 2 at a price ranging from 50% to 70% year-on-year depreciation on January 1, 2006." Jobs dropped a bomb right away.

    The reporters below were immediately in an uproar. Exchange?  No one expected Apple to make such a decision. After all, this decision would mean that Apple might recycle tens of millions of iPhone 1s. How to deal with so many 90% new machines?  Because of the high price of the iPhone series, everyone must be extremely careful when using them. In this way, by the end of the year, that is, in seven or eight months, the iPhone 1 generation mobile phones will still be very new.

    How will Apple deal with so many long-term mobile phones?  "Now I will introduce to you the main performance and changes of iPhone 2." Jobs did not talk about the main reform issues, but quickly introduced the performance issues of iPhone 2 generation. In fact, the difference between iPhone 2 and iPhone 1 is really very small, because after  The time gap between the two is too small, less than a year, but the progress of hardware is certain. Most hardware has undergone small improvements. The most important improvement is the increase in camera pixels.

    Now the main camera pixels of the iPhone have increased to 5 million and 500,000. The pixels of the front camera are 500,000. These two numbers have been greatly improved compared to the previous generation. You must know that this number has been compared with the previous generation.  The price of iPhone 4 is almost the same. In this era, this price is quite expensive.

    But overall speaking, apart from the improvement of the camera, there are really not many improvements in other aspects. In addition, some major software functions have been improved. Compared with the iPhone 1.?The lack of Apple¡¯s online store. In just a few months, with the popularity of iPhones around the world, the number of software in Apple¡¯s online store is increasing at a terrifying speed.

    As Jobs finished his explanation, countless reporters below immediately raised their arms, and soon Jobs directly clicked on a reporter.  "Mr. Jobs, in the eyes of the outside world, Apple will not launch the second generation iPhone so soon, but Apple's decision is surprising. Mr. Jobs, what is the main reason for launching the second generation iPhone?"

    "The main reason is, of course, that our technology has improved, and the scope of this innovation is quite large. If we continue to sell iPhone 1, more users will suffer losses, so we made this decision." Jobs smiled  He answered.

    "I would like to ask Mr. Jobs, your company's announcement of the launch of iPhone 2 will inevitably affect the current sales of iPhone 1. As we all know, Apple's stock has been the best in the U.S. stock market during the past period. I would like to ask Mr. Jobs, have you done a good job for your company?"  Prepare for the stock to fall." A reporter from China Daily quickly stood up and asked.

    "Haha, I believe in the eyes of investors, and I believe that after today's press conference, Apple's stock will not only not fall, but will rise again. If Star Group does not go public, I believe Apple Group is far away from being the world's number one company.  His throne is not far away." Jobs replied confidently.

    Jobs's words immediately caused a stir among the reporters below. Everyone knew that Star Group's press conference meant big news, so countless foreign media directly chose to live broadcast it. Due to the uniqueness of the country, only a few domestic TV stations chose to do so.  live broadcast.

    And Jobs's words were directly transmitted to the ears of users around the world along with computers, and everyone's curiosity was suddenly aroused, because this is obvious, if only based on the data of iPhone 2 released now,  Although the performance of iPhone 1 has been improved a lot, it is not enough to be a reason for users to buy iPhone 2 like crazy. On the contrary, users will be troubled by Apple¡¯s rapid update, which will cause big problems for the sales of iPhone, and many of them will  Potential users will start to hesitate.

    Unless Apple will give a reason that everyone can accept!  A reason that makes everyone not only convinced, but also even more crazy about taking out their wallets!  If you can't come up with this reason, then it's a failure for Apple!  Because Apple¡¯s stock and products are already quite crazy right now.

    But now many people have ignored this issue for the time being. At this moment, countless experts are directly frightened by Jobs's rhetoric. After all, although Microsoft once ranked first in the world, it was because of the impact of the economic crisis. Those industrial giants  The market value of Apple has been greatly affected, but now Apple is still far away from the throne of the world's number one company. Apple dares to shout this slogan. It is obvious that Jobs has enough confidence.

    However, more people are dissatisfied with Jobs's words that if Star Group does not go public, Apple Group will not be far away from the throne of the world's number one company. The implication is that if Star Group goes public, Apple will not take advantage of it.  To the world's number one company?  This is quite tricky. Although Star Group now owns almost half of Apple's shares, the other half of Apple's current market value is also a huge number. Star Group's other current industries include the newly acquired Star Heavy Industry, and  Taking into account Starry Sky Industrial Park and so on, it is only about 40 to 50 billion US dollars.

    There is still a big gap behind this. How to make up for such a big gap?

    Seeing that there were still reporters asking questions, Jobs asked another reporter to stand up and said, "Mr. Jobs, I am a reporter from Science and Technology Daily. I would like to ask Mr. Jobs. As we all know, the battery life of the iPhone series has become the biggest shortcoming of the iPhone series."  board, although the iPhone 2 looks very beautiful, these performance improvements and the addition of many software functions will undoubtedly consume a lot of power. So how does Apple solve this problem? After all, no matter how good a thing is, it cannot be used for a long time.  It's useless." The middle-aged reporter's question directly caused applause from the reporters below.

    And the applause was accompanied by countless flashing lights. Obviously, this reporter's question suddenly captured everyone's heart.  Even Zhang Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone could actually see this problem. It seemed that these reporters were not vegetarians.

    "Haha, regarding this question, I would like to ask Ms. Luo Tianshuluo, the executive president of Star Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of Star Group, to give you a brief answer." Even Jobs smiled unexpectedly, and he directly threw the question to the next person.  Luo Tianshu appears.
