After being deeply involved in it, Zhou Buqi felt the epoch-making appeal of the iPhone.
For several days, he paid special attention to media reports about the iPhone.
Mainly some American media.
All kinds of news are flying all over the sky.
Most of them are negative.
This is a big deviation from the tone used by Steve Jobs when he first held the press conference. At first glance, many traditional mobile phone manufacturers discovered something and felt that the situation was wrong, so they needed to use the power of public opinion to resist.
This is also a relatively common means of competition at home and abroad.
In contrast, foreign countries are relatively restrained in this regard.
Zhou Buqi paid attention to an article in the Post, saying that their reporters came to China specifically to conduct an investigation and visited two iPhone OEMs, Quanta and Hon Hai.
What I got was astonishing.
These two foundries have guaranteed orders and can produce at least 2 million iPhones every month!
In other words, 24 million units need to be produced a year.
This is simply amazing.
Can the iPhone sell 24 million units a year?
Many senior mobile phone people have questioned it.
Some people believe that the first-generation iPhone sold 6 million units, but the second-generation iPhone will be sold simultaneously on 23 operators around the world and to more than 20 countries and regions. The launch scale and momentum far exceed last year, coupled with the accumulated operational experience
, this year’s iPhone shipments will exceed last year’s, so there should be no problem.
But to reach 24 million is a bit of a fantasy.
The global economy is not doing well right now. Mobile phone sales slowed down significantly in the first half of the year, a full 22% less than last year.
Moreover, there are many negative reasons.
For example, the first-generation iPhone had too many problems, mainly because Steve Jobs wanted too much, which led to problems. The second-generation iPhone's design was reduced for stability, but the price was higher.
Moreover, established mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson are also aware of Apple, a new competitor, and are eyeing the iPhone.
In July, when iPhone 3G is launched, almost every mainstream mobile phone manufacturer will launch its own flagship model!
It's like a conspiracy.
All released at the same time.
Just to compete with the iPhone market!
This is hand in hand to kill Apple!
Under this situation, even Wall Street analysts believe that the second-generation iPhone may fail. Even if Steve Jobs is a genius leader, it will be difficult to break through.
Let alone 24 million iPhone 3G sales, thank God if it can exceed 10 million!
Zhou Buqi was silent for a long time after reading this report.
In the Japanese market, he worked hard and came up with various ingenious strategies to break away from the traditional local business forces and strive to create a new world.
There are many difficulties and great resistance.
But what about Steve Jobs?
He is facing the traditional forces all over the world!
How big of a dilemma is that?
What's the result?
He swept through thousands of armies.
"No! At least the Japanese market must be secured!"
Zhou Buqi's arrogance has been knocked away a lot, and his reborn sense of superiority has also been worn away. In the final analysis, he is not a genius with reality-distorting power like Steve Jobs.
It's better to play it slow and steady.
Let’s capture the Japanese market first.
Then, I became surprised.
Regarding the Japanese business, Ziweixing Japan has no problem. The number of registered users of yikyak has exceeded 10 million, which is already a big success. The "Japanese Good Voice" planned by Jieyu Media is also in progress.
But what happened to Jingtao?
Why is there no movement?
I just want to say that on the 1st of this month, the Jingtao website was officially launched and the website is very stable.
Chen Dong seemed to have disappeared.
Don't report or complain.
With the two teams from JD.com and Taobao, plus the original local team and consultants sent by SoftBank, can Chen Dong really control such a complicated situation?
Zhou Buqi couldn't believe this was true.
After calling to inquire, Chen Dong said confidently: "Well, I have solved all the management issues!"
"Solved?"
Zhou Buqi was very suspicious.
Chen Dongdao: "Really, they all listen to me now. I replaced a financial director and deputy financial director sent by JD.com and Alibaba, and replaced them with a Filipino-Japanese person in charge of finance. He is not involved in factions.
The relationship is only responsible for me."
Zhou Buqi was quite surprised.
This kid can do it!
When running a business, the most important thing is to grasp the two major businesses, one is finance and the other is human resources. If you control these two businesses, you will have the power of the company.
How did Chen Dong do it?
Can you actually kill the finance sent by JD.com and Alibaba?
The key is that this was done quietly.
It means there was no earthquake!
Become invisible!
sure!
Zhou Buqi became more and more curious, "How did you do it? Come and teach me, you can do it at your level!"
Chen Dong's laughter was a bit embarrassing, "Um... the soldiers should be on the safe side."
"Why is it so dangerous?"
"Boss Zhou, can I keep it a secret?"
"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, very funny, "You still want to keep it a secret from me?"
Chen Dongdao: "I'll tell you after some time. My strategy is a bit... not very compliant. I also agreed with them that everyone must keep it secret and no one can tell. I want to set an example."
Zhou Buqi said: "Okay, you can have your own ideas. It doesn't matter if you do something wrong, just change it. I'll support you and the sky won't fall. I'm just afraid that you are too timid and dare not do things for fear of making mistakes."
Chen Dongdao: "I am a very courageous person."
"Yeah, I know!"
Zhou Buqi was convinced that this guy was very courageous. He could be said to be the boldest person he had ever seen.
When I was in high school, I made my senior sister pregnant. When my senior sister went to college, she asked her to give birth to the child. Then the two of them raised the child while they were in college. For three or four years in a row, the parents never knew...
It is not an exaggeration to say that one is bold enough to hide the truth from others.
He graduated from Peking University. This is not the reason why Zhou Buqi is optimistic about him. The reason is that he is courageous, dares to fight, dares to think and dares to fight.
…
Ning Yameng is working in a trendy play commune as a designer and painter. Zhou Buqi can't always disturb her work.
However, we need to meet more often.
After getting off work in the afternoon, I went to her house with Ning Yaxian. I couldn't waste time and made the best use of every minute and every second.
Let me take this opportunity to console Ning Da Mi first.
Then, he simply took a shower and walked to the living room wearing men's pajamas to see Ning Yameng who was playing with Xinxin.
"Is it done?"
Ning Yameng is a bit strange.
Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Huh? Are you jealous? That's a good thing, there is progress."
Ning Yameng's face turned red and she rolled her eyes at him, "Your phone rang just now. I checked and it was Zhang Yiming."
Zhou Buqi was not in a hurry. He smiled and sat down next to her. He wanted to hug her waist, but she dodged him and said angrily: "You're so bad when you hug your sister just after you hugged me."
