Silicon Valley

On the evening of April 30, Sony Corporation headquarters in the United States.

"Tomorrow, our MiniDisc Walkman will be officially launched, Yamada-kun must prepare champagne to celebrate the sale of MiniDisc Walkman!!!" said an old man in sixties.

"Hi!!!" Yamada Ichiro nodded loudly in response.

Afterwards, Ichiro Yamada approached the sixtieth old man and said in a low voice, "Ms. Chiba, you came here from Japan, and you must be exhausted. I specially arranged for two American girls to serve you..."

"well!!!"

"Hehe, Minister, then I won't disturb you!" Yamada Ichiro bowed and bowed out of the room respectfully, and then, two fair-skinned and beautiful, tall blond bunnies walked in!

...

At this time, Henry is holding a high-level joint meeting in the enterprise-level ICQ group!

Geely Hurt of Nicholas Group, Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Global Online, Bill Joyce, new CEO of Isearch, Tian Shuai of ICQ, and Eugene Kaspersky of 360 Holding Group are all online.

Geely Hurt asked: "Chairman, what's your MP3 player going to be called?"

"Heavenly Sounds!"

"Wait..." Henry read, suddenly felt inappropriate, and suddenly remembered that there was a Dongfeng Nissan Teana in later generations. Although there is no such car yet, Henry felt a little awkward when he read about the Teana...

Paralyzed, it's hard to choose a name, just call it iPod... Anyway, Apple will not be able to escape its own palm sooner or later! ! !

"Tian Lai is no longer a name, it's called an iPod player!!!" Henry finished typing and sent it out. Compared with Apple's iPod, the MP3 player currently produced by Silicon Valley Electronics Group has a smaller capacity and a more frustrating appearance. However, it has already met Henry's requirements for MP3!

The first product, you can't make it perfect, otherwise, what should you do in the future?

The four saw Henry giving the MP3 player this name. Didn't understand what it all meant. ipod? what is this……

Tian Shuai asked: "Chairman, what does ipod mean? Is i related to Apple? Their products all start with i. And pod seems to refer to the pod of a spacecraft..."

The name iPod is really incomprehensible, and Henry explained helplessly: "We sell not only MP3 players, but also other things in the future, such as computers... So. Here, I first propose to you a The concept of 'digital central strategy', that is, in the future, we will produce computers by ourselves, and computers will become the central or connecting point of many small devices. Just now Tian Shuai said that pod refers to the pod of a spaceship, which is exactly the same as me The proposed 'digital hub strategy' is very similar! Our computer is the spaceship. The MP3 player is the pod. And the pod needs to go back to the spaceship for resupply, what? It's called an iPod..."

Henry doesn't care whether they accept this explanation or not. Anyway, when Jobs chose this name, it was the meaning!

"Okay, the name of the MP3 player is so determined, it's called iPod. Next, let's discuss how to promote the iPod!" Henry typed.

Geely Hurt typed: "Nicholas Shopping Network will promote the iPod's front page cover!!!"

Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Global Online: "The Global Online Portal will give each of the Global Online email users a testimonial, plus a front page tweet!!!"

Isearch's new CEO Bill Joyce: "Use Isearch to search for music. The iPod must be the first."

Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ Company: "The promotion of the cover of the ICQ chat interface, plus the pop-up window! Everyday music client and mp3 website are greatly closed and pushed!!!"

Eugene Kaspersky: "360 McAfee Safeguard and 360 Netscape Browser Double Popup!!!"

Henry looked at the words they typed, and sighed in his heart. This combination is almost equivalent to the Alibaba, Baidu, QQ, 360, and NetEase in the future. How much of a stir will it cause...

In a day, the entire network will know the name of the iPod! ! ! ! !

"The rush-buying time for iPod music players is set at 12 noon, no matter how many can be sold in the end, the purchase channel will be closed after ten minutes!" Henry typed, "It was announced after closing that within ten minutes, 10,000 iPod music players will be sold. It's all sold out and then tell them that it's going to be snapped up again next week, April 8th at 12 noon!!! That way we can create the illusion that the iPods are so popular and popular, and that will get people to They are extremely curious! They will think, this product is so popular that it sold 10,000 units in less than ten minutes?! So, the next time they snap up again, they will join it. The number of iPods has increased to 50,000, but after five minutes, the purchase channel will be closed and announced that 50,000 iPods are sold out!!!”

After Henry's words, everyone was stunned when they saw it.

This marketing tool is awesome! ! !

Afterwards, everyone chatted about the details, and after an hour, the meeting ended.

Henry turned off the computer, then took a hot bath, brushed his teeth and went to bed. However, these CEOs still have to work overtime, and arrange employees to hang up the advertisement at 6 o'clock tomorrow!

Silicon Valley Electronics Group's iPod music player is still produced in its own factory. However, if the demand increases in the future, it will need to find a foundry factory. Hong Nian Technology Co., Ltd. is a company under Cisco, and is currently developing towards electronic foundry.

Silicon Valley Electronics Group made a strategic investment in Hongnian Technology Company, injected 10 million US dollars, won 50% of the shares, and Cisco held half of the shares! Silicon Valley Electronics Group will only retain factories that produce high-end products in the future, and simple production and processing will be delivered to Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. for completion!

Harrison has sent technicians from Silicon Valley Electronics Group to the factory of Hongnian Technology Company in China to help them build an iPod foundry and conduct worker training!

The labor cost in China is much cheaper than in the United States. Once more iPods are produced, Silicon Valley Electronics Group can save a lot of money!

Not only China, but also India, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries have low labor costs, and with the rise of China, workers' wages have increased. In the future, the world's factory will be transferred to India. India's population is bursting, closely following China's, and its unemployment rate ranks among the highest in the world. The wages of the workers are really low...

India's Asan idle's eggs hurt, they can be called to work overtime every day! ! !

Since Silicon Valley Electronics Group does not have its own chip production factory, it is also looking for other companies for chip foundry for the time being! but. Before long, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will build its own fab!

The next day, early in the morning, when people turned on their computers, they suddenly found that almost all the Internet was promoting a product - an iPod music player! ! !

what is this?

then. Click to take a look. After watching it, I was amazed!

You don't have to buy CDs to play music, but download your favorite MP3 music from the Internet and copy it to the iPod music player to play the music. I rely on it. In this way, buying an iPod music player can save a lot of money. ! ! ! !

With a capacity of 43MB, it can store forty songs, and you can delete the songs you don't like at any time. The space freed up can be used to copy other songs in!

And an album CD also has more than a dozen songs, not only the capacity is not as big as an iPod, but also some of the songs I like, but some of the songs I don't like, but I have to spend money to buy the whole CD, which is really unreasonable. Great deal! ! !

In addition, CDs are not easy to carry and are easily damaged. The Walkman is also larger than the iPod, so how can it be so "exquisite and small" that it can be held in one hand. You can also put it in your pocket. Moreover, this ipod metal shell is fashionable and high-end, so it's more fun to take it out! ! !

See how much?

Ugh, it's only $499! ! ! !

Paralyzed, the MiniDisc Sony Walkman, which has been advertised on TV recently, is simply scum compared to the iPod. The iPod only sells for $499, and it dares to sell for $500! ! !

Sony is crazy about money! ! ! !

Is the MiniDisc worth $500? ! ****what! ! !

If you want to buy it, buy an iPod music player, never buy a MiniDisc Walkman. If you buy a MiniDisc Walkman in the future, you will have to spend a lot of money on magneto-optical discs! ! !

I continued to look at the iPod's information, and I couldn't help but sigh, Silicon Valley Electronics Group is really generous. I bought an iPod for $499 and also gave an iPod earphone, an iPod charger, and any USB universal converter, although I don't know what the USB universal converter is. , but as soon as I heard the name, I knew that this thing was a bunker! ! ! Otherwise, how can it be called a universal converter?

Scroll down the web page, and there is information about the usb universal converter: through the universal converter, the ipod music player can be connected to all computers currently on the market!

Niubi!

Sure enough! ! !

Even considering this point, no matter what computer at home, as long as you buy an ipod and a USB universal converter, you don't have to worry, the ipod can't be connected to the computer, and you can't copy music! ! !

"ipod music player start snapping time: April 1st at 12 noon!"

Eh, still need to snap up? Is it too exaggerated...

When I moved my eyes to the "one-click purchase", I found that only 10,000 iPods were left in the brackets!

Oh, how do you divide 10,000 iPods? There must be a lot of people who want to buy it too! ! !

Mad, you really need to snap up to buy it!

What kind of stupid company is Silicon Valley Electronics Group. It doesn't make money, so I don't know how to sell more iPods!

Depend on! ! !

...

...

"Minister!!! Minister Chiba, it's not good!!!"

Yamada Ichiro slammed into the room where Minister Chiba came down to the tower, shouting and panicking! ! !

Minister Chiba, as a Japanese old man in sixties, fought alone last night, fighting against two. !

Minister Chiba looked angry and scolded: "What's it called? You look panicked, what kind of decency! As the manager of Sony Corporation's US branch, you can't keep calm, a little calmer?"

"Yes yes yes!!! Minister Chiba taught a lesson!!!" Yamada Ichiro nodded again and again and said yes!

Minister Chiba asked while dressing, "What happened?"

"Minister Chiba, we may not be able to sell Sony's MiniDisc Walkman... From 7:00 in the morning to 11:30, only 800 units were sold in the United States, and 700 of them were sold before 9:00. It was sold, and in the next two hours, only 100 units were sold in total, and I estimate that there will be even fewer people who will buy it in the future!!!”

"Nani!!!!!!!"
