Apple's headquarters meeting room in Cupertino, California, USA.

More than a dozen senior executives of the company, led by CEO Cook, stared at the pre-sale curve displayed on the projection back panel.

"It's only 3 minutes before the release date. How much traffic has the global official website reached now?" Cook frowned, and the bright white screen reflected on his glasses could not hide the tension between his expression.

"Gurl!"

Feeling the gaze of dozens of executives in the conference room, the technical director in charge of broadcasting, swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Global visit traffic...the peak is about 3.2 million visitors...the trough is less than 500,000 IP visits..."

"What?"

"The peak is only 3.2 million people?"

"What about the page you visited? Is it the payment sub-page for ordering and purchasing?" An Apple executive exclaimed.

"No...not...the page that is visited the most is focused on the after-sales application..." The technical director who controlled the backend data wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“What?!”

"That's all that low visits are gone, why are they still concentrated on the after-sales page?"

"Can these customers..." Schiller, senior vice president of marketing in charge of sales planning, noticed something was wrong, and he was stuck halfway through what he said.

As for the current Apple chairman Levinson, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, he had a gloomy face at this time, and said as if he could squeeze out water from his eyebrows: "I had expected this situation to happen long ago, but I didn't expect this [future technology] to have such a big impact on our 5S mobile phones."

"I just don't know how many new phones can be sold when they will be released later."

Chairman Levinson's words made more than a dozen company executives present feel like they were sitting on icebergs.

Several of the executives, even less looked like a gentleman in suits and tie. While raising their hands and holding their waxed hair, they almost buried their heads on the conference table.

They worked hard to develop a new IPone that had been around for nearly a year, but they were actually cast out of the altar overnight by a Chinese mobile phone.

Such a huge psychological gap, no one could stand it!

"There are 3 minutes left... How many visits are there in China now?" CEO Cook said hoarsely, his eyes staying on the projection panel from beginning to end.

"It's only about 50,000 IP visits." The technical director spitted out a heartbreaking number.

A mere 50,000 IP traffic!

Even some unknown small websites have more than this number in the end of a day, right?

What's more, there are technology giants like Apple, which have at least tens of millions of visitors when it comes to pre-sale opening days!

"Is it only 50,000?" A trace of decline flashed in Cook's eyes, because this Chinese market was the key target he had been paying close attention to since the death of the leader Qiao Gang.

Because according to previous market research, Chinese people have psychological factors that worship Apple.

In addition to the high pricing of Apple phones, many so-called apple powders are growing everywhere in the soil of China.

Even though the Android Alliance launched a phone with higher performance and better configuration, Apple's IPone sales have been firmly in the Chinese market from beginning to end.

Of course, the first factor is to pursue. The most important thing is that many Chinese middlemen and scalpers have made Apple's previous IPone series popular.

"It's over... It seems that I am the CEO, so I can't sit steadily... I just don't know when the board of directors will impeach me..." Cook was sitting in pins and needles, staring at the pre-sale countdown displayed on the screen.

Sure enough!

After the countdown is classified as "00S", the pre-sale channel implemented according to the plan will be opened.

The sporadic number of orders hurts the brain nerves of all Apple executives here!

"Selling for 7 minutes and 10 seconds, a total of 122,346 units... and most of them are low-profile 16G..." The technical director trembled and reported such a result data.

You should know that at the pre-sale site of Apple 4 and Apple 5, nearly 1 million units were sold in the first 10 seconds alone!

Now more than 7 minutes have passed, and only 120,000 units have been shipped?

And according to the icons on the screen, the trend of this curve is still skating all the way down. Can this not make Apple executives feel heartbroken?

Just 10 minutes after the pre-sale channel was opened, a "bang bang" knock came from the glass door of the conference room, which broke the dull environment on the scene.

"Mr. Cook!"

"The sales data of A1 of the Future Technology Company has been released... in 10 minutes... in 10 minutes, 20 million units sold out..." A female secretary in a uniform broke in with a panic expression and reported.

"What?"

"20 million units sold out in 10 minutes?"

"What magic does this [future technology] have?"

"F**k! This transcript originally belonged to our Apple 5S!"

After hearing this nearly 200 times sales gap, Apple executives finally became uneasy. One of the more irritable R&D presidents even made cracks in the water cup in his hand.

However, this is not the end!

After the front desk clerk heard news that several major shopping malls in North America canceled purchase orders, the CEOs, including Cook, and vice presidents all became restless.

“What?”

"The channel dealer wants to tear up the procurement contract?"

"Why!"

"It was at this critical moment..."

The conference room was a noisy. In the early years, Apple 4 and Apple 5 were released. The feeling of Dugu Qiubai, who was technologically leading the world, had long been thrown into the stinky ditch by these company executives.

In contrast, the sales center here at [Future Technology] is now trapped in a sea of ​​joy.

"Success!"

"We succeeded!"

"20 million units in 10 minutes!"

Such amazing pre-sale data was spreading, not only the employees of [Future Technology] went crazy.

Even the media circles in China that focus on technological trends are all excited!

"The 10-minute rise of a 100 billion giant!"

"Development and pre-sale, and the future mobile phones will sweep 20 million units in 10 minutes!"

"Defeat the apple and create a future golden body!"

"The pride of Chinese people, [Future Technology] takes off from today!"

Countless exaggerated reports have swept the headlines of major media in China.

Good guy!

Not to mention Weibo, Baidu's hot search list, even China's most authoritative China Television News has been released in the prime time broadcast at 7 pm, specifically for 3 minutes to report on the pre-sale site worth hundreds of billions.

As for these three-minute "national-level publicity blockbusters", it was even more than a dozen departments and nearly 100 news editors were temporarily filmed and edited by China Television's news column team.

no way!

It was really because I was beaten by Apple's technology for too long. This time, [Future Technology] was born, and finally gave the Chinese people a sense of excitement.
Chapter completed!
