Wall Street Legend

I was holding back a lot of things I wanted to ask, but at this moment the press conference started, and Jobs was already thanking the guests. The reporter from the Los Angeles Times had to leave first, because Ye Dongqing's attention was no longer on him.

The more mysterious it is, the easier it is to be chased by reporters. The few questions just asked can be pieced together into a small interview article. In the eyes of reporters, even if the products at the press conference are not outstanding, their trip is not considered. Bai Lai, it is not easy to interview a super rich man whose net worth is at the top of the rich list.

It was easier to find Ye Dongqing before. As he became richer and richer, he acted more low-key.

In the past few years, Apple's press conferences have attracted more and more attention. Almost every major press conference will produce several decent products, which are worth looking forward to. Needless to say, the popularity of Macbook and iMac all-in-one computers has already been rated as The two most useful and beautiful products on the market, the iPod music player was gradually replaced by the iTouch, successfully setting off a wave of craze.

According to rumors, the product to be released today will be another new model from Apple. Even before it is officially released, Apple's stock price has already risen slightly.

Too many circulating shares on the market were acquired by Tamsui Investment Group, which triggered a liquidity crisis and indirectly pushed up the stock price. Fortunately, there was news recently that additional shares would be issued for financing. Many small and medium-sized shareholders on the scene were already excited. They knew Got to be more than others.

Last year, as a major shareholder, Ye Dongqing sent an explanation letter to shareholders on behalf of Apple's management to introduce the use of R\u0026D funds.

In that letter, he praised a new product being developed by Apple to the sky, directly saying that it is a new product that "can change the world and make Apple one of the world's first-class manufacturing companies." Regarding today's press conference, these shareholders Full of expectations, good or bad is linked to their interests.

After recovering from the disease, Mr. Steve Jobs currently continues to serve as the CEO of Apple. The doctor said that he has recovered, but no one knows whether he will relapse again.

Having held so many press conferences, large and small, Jobs already had experience. He did not come up with good things from the beginning. He first introduced the development of the App-Store and subsequent updates and changes, and then talked about Learn about the current status of iTunes music player and related businesses.

Apple sells hardware and is very famous. In fact, it also does a lot of software business, but most of them are for personal use and are used on closed Mac-OS and iOS systems. Since new products have been launched one after another, sales have been pretty good. Yes, it can barely be called a small bright spot.

I don’t know who had a sharp eye, but vaguely saw something in the outline of Jobs’s trousers pocket. They passed it from person to person, and soon everyone knew it.

Then a strange scene occurred.

While Jobs stood on the stage and spoke seriously, a group of reporters set up their guns and focused their attention on his crotch, trying to take photos of his pants pockets and analyze them.

Compared with traditional mobile phones, it seems larger and thinner, and its shape is different from the iTouch. Because Jobs was wearing jeans, it can be vaguely seen.

The real good stuff has not been presented. It has been more than forty minutes since the press conference started. They are still listening to these things that they are not interested in, let alone the reporters. Even Ye Dongqing secretly dozed off. If it weren't for the large number of people present, , he really wanted to remind Jobs to get started quickly. He had no appetite in the morning, and now his stomach was growling with hunger.

finally.

As Jobs pressed the remote control, another picture appeared behind him, with a line of text written on it and a front view of the fuselage. The details were not blurred, and only the general outline could be seen.

It reads: The future belongs to iPhone smartphones.

Jobs walked back and forth and said: "When Leo and I first met, he had already acquired a lot of Apple shares and became Apple's major shareholder. During a chat, he told me that Nokia's mobile phones were terrible. , the Symbian operating system is simply unusable, Nokia is still a bit enterprising, and Motorola is just like it was in the 1970s, just making products with phone calls.

He also suggested that I create a brand new mobile phone based on Apple's operating system, which is not only limited to calls, but also a truly mobile micro-intelligent product. I would like to thank him for his creativity and the efforts of all the R\u0026D staff. , iTouch is just an attempt. Now, we have the next generation mobile phone, which is named the first product of the iPhone series. The research and development cycle is about three years, costing nearly 1.2 billion US dollars, and a total of more than 1,100 people participated in the research and development project. middle. "

In the audience, Ye Dongqing just laughed after hearing this. Anyway, he had already become enemies with those two companies because of his short selling. It didn't matter if he stepped on them again at this moment. With the launch of the iPhone, he and those two companies were destined to become competitors.

The reporters became nervous and pointed their cameras at the screen. Someone reported the press conference in real time on Ye Dongqing's news website through a computer. Shareholders were also very nervous and were ready to increase their holdings or sell off their stocks. , for fear of missing out on opportunities to make money, or losing money because the product is not good enough.

I saw Jobs put his hand into his pocket and took out a small black machine with a quite large screen. After pressing the side button, it lit up.

Ye Dongqing was sitting in the front row. Almost everyone sitting in the front row could see it. The white screen displayed the Apple logo, with time and so on. The familiar slide to unlock function was also there, in the shape of a long bar with arrows. .

In an instant, a flash of lights came on, vying to take a picture of the little thing in Jobs' hand.

In order to give people a more intuitive understanding, Jobs continued to press the remote control, and the next mobile phone picture was displayed on the screen behind him. It was an animated image rotated 360 degrees with size indicators.

Jobs continued: "It is equipped with a built-in camera with up to two million pixels, and uses a 3.5-inch full touch screen jointly developed by Apple, Japan's Sony, and Japan's Sharp. The resolution is as high as 320X480, so that the image performance is so Clear.”

As he spoke, the pictures behind him kept changing. He also took a photo on the spot and connected it to a projector to show it to people.

The screen on the mobile phone was displayed in real time, and the introduction started from the homepage. Among the crowd, pairs of eyes widened, especially when they saw that Facebook was successfully opened after connecting to the 3G mobile network without a wireless network, the scene was in an uproar...
