These reporters are real, just interviewing, just look at what they said, it's like rubbing salt on the wound and adding fuel to the fire!
Luckily, Simon Motorola was hiding in his office and didn't hear those words. However, he doesn't dare to go out now, feeling that there is no face left...
It was almost noon, and Simon Motorola and other company board members held a meeting in the large conference room, and all the senior management above the company's manager were also present.
Simon Motorola, who was sitting in the main seat, looked haggard and looked very tired.
He looked at everyone and said in a low voice: "Everyone, at this moment, Motorola will face an unprecedented crisis!!! We originally thought that this time we would successfully suppress Apple, but we never expected Apple's Apple Phone1. Stepping on our Motorola mobile phone to rise strongly!"
Speaking of this, Simon Motorola couldn't help sighing slightly, feeling a little powerless, and said from the bottom of his heart that Apple's Apple Phone 1 is indeed better than Motorola's.
"Now, we urgently need to come up with countermeasures, otherwise, the mobile phone market will be taken away by Apple sooner or later!"
"Which one of you came up with a solution?"
Simon Motorola asked, however, when he looked around, he saw that they all bowed their heads, for fear that their eyes would meet his.
snort!
These rubbish!
Before, I swore to say how powerful the new mobile phone I developed was, and I blew it to the sky, but in the end, in the face of Apple's new mobile phone, it was a complete mess.
Simon Motorola was furious. As the chairman, he would only intervene in the company's development unless there was a major event. Usually, professional managers would take care of him, but the people who managed the company for him were really incompetent. The name seems to be handed over to Apple!
Apple is different from ordinary mobile phone manufacturers. It is small in scale and slow in development. Apple has strong financial resources, broad channels, even higher brand awareness than Motorola, and many fans. This time, Apple Phone 1 is coming and it is popular all over the world. In the field of mobile phones, Apple's position will soon surpass Motorola's!
The meeting room was silent for a while, and finally someone spoke.
The one who spoke was Sean Gray, CEO of Motorola. Looking at Simon Motorola's increasingly cold face, he knew that if he didn't speak again, the position of CEO might not be guaranteed.
"Mr. Motorola, Apple clearly planned to spend eight or nine years secretly developing mobile phones, so it caught us by surprise! However, we Motorola are not easy to mess with! The level of mobile phone development technology, Motorola has always been a leader in the industry. First, even Apple can’t compare to us. If we fail temporarily, it does not mean that we will fail in the future! Failure is the mother of success. As long as we summarize this experience, we will definitely defeat Apple and regain the market share of mobile phones belonging to Motorola. !!"
When Simon Motorola heard this, his expression turned slightly.
Sean Gray glanced at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "We have to admit that the functional design of Apple Phone1 is very good, such as ringtones, contacts and call records, etc. In fact, we can do it too, just go to Take the best of its crumbs, and the company's next-generation phone will be a success!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone applauded and echoed.
"Sean Gray is right!"
"The CEO's proposal is very good. We can't deny the advantages of the enemy, and we have to learn from it, and make it better than the blue!"
"… "
Now, Motorola has plans for a new phone right away!
Still, Motorola hasn't given up on analog phones. Even though Apple Phone1 is very popular now, and GSM and CDMA are beginning to rise, the mobile communication technology in many countries is still stuck in analog signal communication. Will give up this fat too soon.
Motorola's calculus is actually quite simple. It wants to wait until the digital mobile phone really rises before it gets involved. However, Motorola did not expect the speed of the second-generation communication technology to develop beyond their imagination.
Soon, Motorola announced the research and development plan of the new mobile phone.
"Motorola, as the dominant player in the mobile phone industry, is very powerful. Although the current mobile phone product has failed, it has not affected Motorola's position. I believe that with Motorola's technology, it will definitely develop a more powerful and popular mobile phone product. Welcome phone!"
"This time, Motorola will invest 200 million US dollars to concentrate the strongest R&D force within the company, and we are confident to beat any competitor, including Apple!!!"
The Motorola spokesman spoke with extreme confidence when confronted by reporters.
On the same day, as soon as the news came out, Motorola's stock price, which had been plummeting, stopped immediately, and then rebounded a lot.
"Wall Street Journal": "Motorola announced its new mobile phone plan this morning, and the stock price rebounded immediately. Shareholders and investors have been optimistic about Motorola's development! The freezing of three feet is not a day's cold, and Motorola's mobile phone research and development technology is indeed better than Apple's. powerful!"
However, some media are not optimistic about Motorola.
For example, the "Los Angeles Times" said: "From the perspective of Apple Phone1, Apple's technology is no worse than Motorola's, and even stronger in many places. In addition, Motorola only has an advantage in analog communication technology, but obviously, The times are progressing, the first generation of communication technology is gradually being phased out, and the second generation of communication technology has matured. Apple is many years ahead of Motorola in the development of GSM and CDMA mobile phone technology!
As we all know, CDMA technology belongs to the patent of Qualcomm, and Qualcomm is the industry of Chronos·Li! Therefore, it is not difficult for us to speculate that in the era of second-generation communication technology, Apple must have a place in the mobile phone market, and its advantages are stronger than any company!
In addition, Apple's industrial design level has always been praised by the industry, and many of its products have won industrial design awards, such as the red dot award, IDEA and the iF Design Award known as the 'design Oscar'!
The appearance and internal design of the Apple Phone1 can be called industrial art, fashionable technology, and are deeply loved by young people. It is said that the Apple Phone1 has been nominated for the red dot award... ”
Li Zetian also learned about Motorola's plans to develop new mobile phones.
He looked at Jobs beside him and asked with a smile, "Do you think Motorola is developing a digital cell phone or an analog cell phone?"
Jobs shook his head and said, "I don't know. Their new mobile phone development plan this time is very confidential, and it seems that they are going to break the boat!"
After a pause, Jobs smiled, "If Motorola develops digital mobile phones, with the R&D capabilities of the other party, it will indeed pose a great threat to Apple in the future. But if they develop analog mobile phones, huh, Motorola's mobile phones The throne of hegemony is about to be relinquished!!"
Li Zetian shook the red wine glass and said lightly: "The analog mobile phone market is still a piece of fat, and Motorola may not give up easily. Haha, they don't have the courage! Of course, they will definitely develop digital mobile phones at the same time, but the main force They are all placed on the developers of analog mobile phones, how much energy can they invest in digital mobile phones? This will inevitably lead to the slow development of Motorola's digital mobile phones, and we will eventually be left farther and farther away!"
After speaking, Li Zetian took a sip of red wine, put down the glass, and said with a hint of pity and understanding: "As the saying goes, 'the boat is small and easy to turn around', but a big company like Motorola is naturally not easy to turn around. Let me decide to give up what I am best at, and there is still a huge market in this area, I may not dare to do so…”
"Oh, by the way, what happened to Nokia in Europe? Pay more attention to this company in the future!" Li Zetian said suddenly.
Jobs changed his expression slightly and replied, "Nokia is a bit amazing. According to the reliable information I have received, the new mobile phone that Nokia is currently developing has many functions the same as the Apple Phone1! After the Apple Phone 1, Nokia may become famous!"
Li Zetian nodded, no one knew Nokia's strength better than him, even Motorola was still too weak compared to him. When Nokia was brilliant, it dominated the mobile phone market for 15 years! ! !
"Pay more attention to Nokia in the future, he may be even more terrifying than Motorola!"
"Well, I see!"
"In the future, the competition in the mobile phone market will be fierce. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The development plan of Apple's new mobile phone will also be put on the agenda immediately!"
After Li Zetian finished speaking, he asked about the sales of Apple Phone1.
In less than a week, Apple has sold more than 800,000 mobile phones worldwide, which is an amazing achievement!
Apple Phone1 mobile phone has become the most fashionable and trendy product at the moment. Although the price is not as expensive as Motorola mobile phone, it is more face-saving to take out. And those who hold "big brother" mobile phones are complained about outdated old hats or get rich.
The success of Apple Phone1 is not only the success of Apple, but also Sprint and Qualcomm.
CDMA technology has been widely promoted, and Qualcomm has made huge profits. In addition to mobile phone manufacturers contacting Qualcomm, telecommunications companies in many countries have also come to contact Qualcomm, including China Mobile and China Unicom.
As for Sprint Telecom, it stunned other telcos by adding more than 800,000 wireless mobile subscribers in just one week.
The term "custom machine" began to spread in the industry.
A customized phone refers to a mobile phone specially customized for a telecommunication operator, and some extended applications and services of the telecommunication operator are embedded in such a mobile phone. It's a win-win for both handset makers and telecom companies! This week, Sprint's Apple Phone 1 custom machine alone sold 280,000 units, which is astonishing.
…
…
A month later, Apple announced the total sales of Apple Phone 1 - 2.1 million units! ! !
The news immediately spread all over the world, causing a huge sensation.
The industry was stunned!
The media is dumbfounded!
Countless companies are envious and jealous!
"Ping... Apple is too powerful, right?!"
Many people questioned because they really couldn't believe it. Motorola is such a powerful mobile phone king. Apple's mobile phone sales in a month are almost catching up with Motorola's mobile phone sales in a year!
However, this is an indisputable fact.
Apple Phone1 is not only a communication phone, but also a fashion element.
The price of Apple Phone 1 is cheaper than that of Motorola phones, and consumers are reluctant to buy it.
Coupled with a large number of online and offline promotion resources, it is no wonder that the sales of Apple Phone 1 are not hot.
However, in Li Zetian's view, 2.1 million is not a big deal. When Apple released the iPhone series in the previous life, it exceeded 10 million units in the first week. Apple still has a long way to go.
However, for others, 2.1 million sales a month is a miracle!
"Apple Phone1 successfully activated the mobile phone market, and Apple created an unprecedented industry miracle within a month with its unparalleled brand strength and product design! 》
"Apple Phone1 strongly crushed Motorola, creating a legend of 2.1 million mobile phone sales in the first month! 》
"Experts predict that Apple Phone 1 mobile phones are expected to exceed 5 million units this year! 》
"Revaluation of Apple by a famous Wall Street appraisal agency - 200 billion US dollars! ! ! 》
As soon as the market value of 200 billion US dollars was estimated, it caused a sensation all over the world and caused a crazy heated discussion.
Some people question it, but others agree.
"Apple's market value has reached 200 billion US dollars! However, Apple deserves its name! CD-Walkman dominates the world, selling more than 30 million units every year, accounting for more than 75% of the market share. There is also the Mac all-in-one desktop computer, which almost monopolizes the world in the all-in-one computer market and sells tens of millions of units every year. In addition, there is also the MacBook notebook computer, which is also the most popular and popular notebook computer! Now there is Apple Phone1 mobile phone, take a look This trend is to blow up Motorola and monopolize the world!"
"Apple's products have always been highly profitable, and now the technology stocks are super hot. Apple must be highly sought after by Wall Street investors. This time the sales of Apple Phone 1 are really amazing. Apple It is not surprising that the valuation of the company can reach 200 billion US dollars!”
"That's right, which technology company's market value is not inflated now? Take TripAdvisor's travel website, which just launched in June. It's almost $11.5 billion now. It's scary!"
"Yeah... It makes me itch now, and I want to start a business in Silicon Valley! If the company goes public, it will make a fortune!!"
…
Li Zetian looked at the newspaper with a stunned expression.
"Fuck, this is 200 billion US dollars? This is really not experienced in the 1990s, I don't know how crazy the valuation is!" Li Zetian said with emotion, "In the late 1990s in my previous life, Microsoft was more than 600 billion US dollars, Cisco's 6,000 More than $100 million, even Sun Microsystems is over $200 billion…”
