Silicon Valley

A week has passed, and the sales volume of iPhone 1 has reached 21 million units, and the number of users in the United States alone has reached more than 8 million.

At this time, the daily sales of iPhone 1 slowly dropped, mainly because iPhone 1 was too expensive and users were reluctant to spend money on it. However, as more and more people use the iPhone, it has become a fashion, and many people are saving money. Others play with iPhone1 mobile phone, chat online, watch videos, if I take out a Nokia mobile phone, I feel that I am too low in an instant!

Other mobile phone manufacturers are already jealous, but what makes them even more envious is that the AppStore on the iPhone 1 is also a cash cow. Up to now, the number of software downloads has reached 210 million, and each user has downloaded at least 10 apps on average. software! Essential software such as icq, YouTube, Facebook, wps, PayPal, etc., relying on their monopoly position, almost all of these software are charged, ranging from five dollars to as much as one hundred dollars, with a total revenue of 6.45 billion dollars!

Here, users are very strange at first, how can there be PayPal software, but no Amazon, eBay and Alibaba?

In fact, these software programs are included in the third-party payment software PayPal, and its design is completely modeled on Alipay. As for why it is designed this way? In fact, the reason is very simple, mobile payment is the payment portal, and the portal is king! ! !

Therefore, preempting the payment entrance is far more important than the e-commerce platform! ! !

Henry is going to play a big game of chess!

Mobile payment will be the entrance of mobile Internet financial services, and also an important entrance of O2O (online to offline) industry, including food delivery, taxi, etc., involving all walks of life.

Henry not only wants to create an Ant Financial, but also create O2O industries such as "Are You Hungry" and "Uber"! Right now, except for Henry who can deploy the mobile Internet, other companies can't do anything in a short period of time, so he has plenty of time to calmly deploy!

In addition to the huge income of the AppStore, the number of music downloads on iTunes has also skyrocketed. A total of 400 million songs have been downloaded, each song is 0.99 US dollars, and the total revenue is close to 400 million US dollars. Obviously, this data will become bigger and bigger. No one doesn't like music. With the increase of new songs and iPhone users, it will promote the increase of income!

Currently, Jackson and others are filming commercials in Digo. When they saw the popularity of the iPhone, they were shocked and delighted at the same time. Just imagine, what an honor it is to be the endorsement of the iPhone! After the commercial short film is released, the fame will definitely increase!

Therefore, during the filming of the commercial, everyone worked very hard, and they were shocked to hear that the iPhone was actually designed by Henry himself!

Fan Bingbing, Lin Chiling, Liu Yifei and other actresses admired Henry even more. Unfortunately, Henry has never seen each other since having dinner with them.

...

On October 20, Smith, who was in charge of purchasing the company for Henry, came to Henry's office.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that I think you should be very interested in!" Smith bowed slightly and said.

"Tell me, what is it!" Henry said lightly.

"Sony Group is actively contacting the Bertusmann Group, hoping to merge Bertusmann's BMG record company with Sony Records, with each party holding 50% of the shares!" Smith paused and said, "Your Majesty, Bertusmann Siman Group is a global media and service giant, carrying out TV, books, magazines, services and media clubs in more than 50 countries and regions around the world, including RTL Group, a leading entertainment content production and dissemination company in Europe , the world's largest popular book publishing group - Random House, the world's magazine giant - Gruner \u0026 Jahr, an international media service company, one of the world's largest service providers - Arvato Group, and the world's five largest record companies One - BMG Records..."

"If we can acquire the Bertelsmann Group, we will have strong competitiveness in content media, which will help us create a more perfect industrial ecosystem! For example, if we can own the popular iPhone For more music, books, information, and film and television works, it is impossible for other mobile phone manufacturers to compete with us!"

After Smith finished speaking, he stared at Henry, waiting for his order.

Do you even need to think about it? Henry immediately said: "Smith, you should go to Germany immediately, get in touch with the Bertusmann Group, and complete this acquisition!"

"Yes, then I'm leaving now!!!" Smith responded and said goodbye to Henry.

"Go!" Henry nodded.

Looking at Smith's back, Henry showed a slight smile and murmured: "Of course I will destroy Sony's good deeds! What's more, the acquisition of Bertelsmann Group is so beneficial to me. Once its resources are integrated, in the The content of this piece can be described as powerful!"

So three days later, a news came out of Germany, which immediately caused a sensation all over the world!

"Williams royal investment company intends to invest 100 billion US dollars to acquire German Bertelsmann Group!"

"Reuters" later reported: "Some people may be unfamiliar with Williams Royal Investment Company, but seeing the words 'Williams Royal Family', they must also know whose company this company is! Williams The predecessor of Royal Investment Company was Weifeng Capital, but it just changed its name.

On October 23, the Williams royal investment company suddenly announced that it would acquire the media giant Bertusmann Group, which was very surprising. However, thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The iPhone comes with iTunes and iBook software. Music, video, books, and magazines can not only bring a lot of income to Apple, but also increase the attractiveness and stickiness of users. Therefore, from the iPhone smartphone, we can glimpse Henry Williams' business layout! ! ! "

"Bloomberg" said: "Henry Williams acquired Bertelsmann Group, intending to create the strongest smartphone ecosystem!!!"

"..."

In the office of the president of Sony Corporation, Shinichi Idei, the president, looked angry and said furiously, "How could it be such a coincidence!!! Henry Williams unexpectedly sent someone to acquire the Bertelsmann Group when Sony Records and BMG Records merged. , he must be targeting us!"

With a "snap", Nobuyuki Idei slapped the desk hard, and his palms turned red due to the excessive force.

If Henry heard this, he would definitely sneer with disdain: "It's aimed at you, what the hell!!"
