Chapter 393 Sale (3)
Ye Dongqing wore a mask, and the bodyguards also wore casual clothes as disguise.
The richer he has, the more he cherishes his life. He will inevitably attract some opponents in business, so the number of bodyguards around him has increased to twelve. If he goes abroad and goes to activities that leak the itinerary in advance, he has to add a few more, or even double it.
The security expenses alone were nearly 16 million US dollars last year. This part of the money was paid by Tamsui Investment Group. Including the tax deduction, it was not actually that high. A team of up to 40 people was specifically responsible for his safety work, followed by 24 hours a day.
This is no exception.
He stood on the streets of crowds and inspected the sales situation on the spot. The bodyguards around him looked around and watched the movements of each pedestrian passing by his boss.
A young man suddenly came to Ye Dongqing's side. A bodyguard was about to stop him, but when he saw that the other party had no movement, he calmed down immediately and just got closer a little to prevent an accident.
The strange white man whispered: "Stop looking, you can't buy it. There are more than ten people in the team who are my friends. If you give me a hundred dollars, you can get you in the lineup. If you give me an extra hundred dollars, I promise you will get iTouch later. I guess you don't have to worry about sales. I guess you will have to wait for two more weeks if you miss the opportunity from me. I think you won't miss the first batch of opportunities to get it, right?"
New York version of scalpers.
The tone was calm. After all, he neither stole nor robbed. Even if someone wanted to buy, he was voluntarily. However, others took the time to queue up and took the risk that things might be thrown into their own hands.
Although it is not high, it does have the risk of hitting it in your hands.
Ye Dongqing really wanted to say that this thing was produced by his own company, and he got the first batch of prototypes more than two months ago.
Out of curiosity, Ye Dongqing asked at this moment: "I am indeed interested, but I want to learn about some situations first. Many people are paying attention to Apple's products this time?"
"Of course! Our dormitory and the next dormitory are specially designed to install wireless devices for it. Now we are just waiting to get this new product. Laptops can also use wireless networks, but the transmission speed is not as fast as connecting to the network cable!"
The young white scalper said and watched, probably because he wanted to find potential customers like Ye Dongqing. He and his friends stood here at 5 a.m. Eastern Time, and they didn't even dare to go to the toilet. The location was quite high and they could definitely buy it.
As a major shareholder, I was naturally very happy to hear that my company's products were being paid attention to by others.
Ye Dongqing didn't ask much about it during the sales process, and continued to say indirectly: "Are you sure you can buy it, right? How many pieces can each person buy?"
“…Ten pieces.”
When the other party heard this question, he looked alert, probably because he was worried that Ye Dongqing would become an intermediary vendor like them. Then he thought it was unlikely. The low-end version was priced at a price of up to 799 US dollars. It was not small to buy ten movies at a time, and he felt that it was almost impossible to affect their "big business".
Seeing Ye Dongqing just nodded, not knowing what she was thinking, the young white man was a little impatient and asked again: "So you should buy it or not? Don't waste my time!"
Take out an iTouch from your pocket and sways in front of the other side. After pressing the button, the screen lights up. The icon shape is exactly the same as those on the Mac-OS desktop operating system. When the young scalper saw it, he almost glared out his eyes and blurted out: "Where has it been released in advance!? Do you have relatives in the Apple retail store?"
Almost seen.
Ye Dongqing smiled and took off her mask, and everything was silent. Then she quickly put it on, put her hands in her pockets and followed the crowd forward. A group of people quickly surrounded him and tried to separate him from the crowd around her.
The young scalper stood there stupidly, but he didn't recover for a while. He was thinking that he had actually talked to Leo Ye, the world's third richest man and the richest man in New York.
It was not until Ye Dongqing walked away that she ran to her companions excitedly and told her that he had just arrived and was almost beaten because she didn't even ask them to talk together. If she took a photo or something, she would be more confident in bragging in the future...
************
As time comes, global sales will be launched simultaneously.
Unexpectedly, within half an hour, all 200,000 iTouches were sold out.
I had no confidence before. After inspecting the two direct stores, Ye Dongqing had almost guessed the result. He called Mr. Jobs and discussed the specific details of the next release, such as limiting each user to only buy one or two, increasing the number of releases, etc.
He had previously made conservative plans for production quantity and thought it would be good to sell eight million units a year. Now, depending on the situation, he might be more ambitious. Jobs was also very excited and urged Foxconn to hurry up and assemble and produce, and then hung up Ye Dongqing's phone.
How to say it is a relatively good result.
What made Ye Dongqing even happier was that from today on, the fool-style operating system will probably gradually withdraw from the stage of history. He has pushed the development process of human society a little forward, and at the same time, he is also happy that he has invested in so many companies in advance, so he can make a small fortune in the future.
I went to bed late last night and got up early today.
After dozing off at McDonald's, I made up for breakfast and rushed back to the idle apartment in Puchuan Building to take a break. I didn't wake up again until after twelve o'clock.
When I turned on, I found that there were many missed calls. Recently, as business expanded, my contacts with Wall Street financial institutions have also increased. I could receive seventy or eighty calls a day when I was busy. This made him wonder if he would die suddenly at a young age. He had already begun to plan to gradually retreat to the second line, assign more tasks to the assistant team, and arrange a personal assistant to rescue himself from complicated matters.
Accidentally, he found the number of the dean of Harvard Business School in a bunch of calls. After the call was answered, he smiled and asked, "Hey, Mr. Smith, is there anything you need to ask me?"
"Have you forgotten what month it is now and when will you hand in your graduation thesis? You must not miss the procedures you should go, otherwise don't think that you have taken a shortcut and your classmates are already preparing to leave school."
“…have to write a paper?”
Ye Dongqing was a little worried and didn't prepare in advance.
My life was so comfortable. I often forgot that I was still a student. I spent the fun at school the year before yesterday and made up for my regrets in life. I felt that staying there was a waste of time, so I never went back. More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Of course I have to write it, but... it's hard to imagine that I would say such things, but as long as I have a good paper, I won't ask whether it was written by you or someone else gave you a reference. Those routines are useless to you, right?"
