For this product in your hand, Ye Dongqing can pick up a lot of minor problems.

For example, the screen is not clear enough, the smoothness is not enough, the functions are simple, etc., and the heat is very good. The battery can only watch movies for five hours, and it is relatively large and quite heavy.

However, it is unique in the market, and no other operating system can compete with this product in a short period of time, which is enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that when this product starts to be sold, it will be the beginning of Apple's dominance. This refers to the mobile smart terminal market. It has appeared. Is it still far from the birth of the first generation of iPhones? It is probably going to happen next year.

He provides valuable advice, Apple is responsible for execution from top to bottom, and judging from the recent market performance of laptops and all-in-ones, the cooperation between both parties is beneficial to everyone.

This is probably why other shareholders still praised Ye Dongqing in public after driving away the independent director Mr. Campbell, who was the reason why Ye Dongqing could help them make money. Apple's stock price is booming. If you have money, you can make money. It's nothing to concentrate your power.

Of course, there are also many people cursing Ye Dongqing, mainly those guys who chose to sell their shares to him.

During the acquisition, they thought the deal was pretty good, but now, as Apple's stock price doubled to more than 11 billion US dollars, the winner suddenly became Ye Dongqing.

The same situation also happened to some former shareholders of Amazon and Netflix. Whenever they thought of what stupid things they had done, many people would get dark and feel so depressed that they couldn't eat.

This is not Ye Dongqing's business. He focuses on profits in business and has no time to care about other people's lives or death. Anyway, he has made money through Tamsui Investment Group. Recently, many stocks have exploded at the same time. It is perfect to describe it as "a day to make money".

Now it’s just starting to make efforts, and the future is promising.

I discussed some features that need to be improved with Mr. Jobs and a group of developers, and checked the first-generation iPhone under development. There are still several problems that need to be solved. I am negotiating with several companies. Qualcomm is responsible for collaborating on the development of microprocessors. LG LCD panel company is accelerating the development of the new generation of LCD screens. Battery, sensor integration and other aspects are also being developed during the development process, and it cannot meet Jobs' requirements for the time being.

He is worthy of being a workaholic. After the operation, Jobs continued to focus on the research and development the next day, which made Ye Dongqing feel that he would not give him more shares in the future, and he was simply sorry for this guy.

I immediately felt boring after visiting. After leaving this floor, I pulled Jobs to talk about the production of iTouch. It can be sold to the public in February and March next year. There is no need to delay it for too long. It is just a semi-finished product after castration and will be replaced soon. If it is launched in time, it will probably make a big profit, which will directly affect Ye Dongqing's interests.

...

"I think it's better to wait for a while, and the cost is relatively high. Even if we leave it to a third-party assembly company, the price may be set at around 800 US dollars to ensure our profits.

In addition, the debugging time is not long enough, and maybe there are some problems. They are trying to streamline the code to improve the smoothness during operation. The appearance is not finalized. The texture of the plastic is cheap to touch, and the characteristic aluminum alloy shell means an increase in cost. Many parts are specially customized by us. The cost of those prototypes is as high as more than 6 million US dollars. I can't estimate the cost after real mass production for the time being. It mainly depends on how much sales are."

Jobs sat at the tea table and seriously helped Ye Dongqing make tea.

He spent some time in India and liked yoga and Chinese Zen culture. The doctor also told him that it would be better to be calm. Since he got sick again, his personality has indeed changed a little.

The project is about to be put on the agenda, and these things must be discussed and agreed upon first.

I used to explain to the board of directors, but now I have a major shareholder and still have a lot of voting rights. In terms of business management, I must obtain Ye Dongqing's consent. Otherwise, if there are any conflicts, the ones who suffer will definitely be Jobs, Cook and others. Who made them have fewer shares?

Cook was also there. He was worried that Ye Dongqing would be young and energetic, and said as if he explained: "I agree with Steve's idea in this regard. We must launch the most perfect product. This is the basis for our company to win the trust of users. After waiting for so long, why can't we wait for two more months? Maybe we can arrange a press conference on January 1 next year."

Ye Dongqing felt that they had misunderstood something, and he couldn't explain it: "I didn't mean to intervene. I just wanted to say that assembly and mass production of parts can be started in advance. Otherwise, there would be no large amount of inventory after the press conference, and we might be in some kind of dilemma.

In addition, telecom operators can also contact in advance and organize an internal exhibition to see what benefits they can give. We can help them gain more users by cooperating with them, slightly reduce the cost of Internet access, and develop more wireless network users. Those who do not have laptops at home may not even know what wireless transmission technology is, which has caused a great hindrance to our company's product promotion."

This is the truth. Just plug in the desktop computer and laptops also have data interfaces. Few people use the home wireless network that is currently very "unsparkable".

It was possible to have it before, but after the launch of iTouch, if consumers do not have the intention to install it or do not understand how to install it, the sales of this product will probably limit.

There are still a lot of issues that need to be discussed. After all, it is a new product and it takes a certain amount of time to allow consumers to accept it slowly.

So you can probably guess what the situation is then. The sales of the first-generation iTouch is destined to not be easy to see, and even the first-generation iPhone may be ignored by the public. After a few years and the network technology is more perfect, it will only usher in an explosive period. Before this, these will most likely become stepping stones.

The sales plan can be discussed. Ye Dongqing has not yet formulated a specific plan. At this moment, he gave some advice to Jobs and Mr. Cook. For example, after iTouch is released, he will start selling ideas and brainwash people first, so that they can understand that such products can be born in the context of the Internet era, and indirectly, it can stimulate suppliers to develop new products that meet demand as soon as possible.

They are all relatively macro development plans. You may not see anything at the moment, but they are very beneficial to future development...
