Unparalleled True Technology

Because of preparations for the launch of the iPhone, the number of Apple employees has increased again.

Although none of the employees of Apple's mobile phone department have seen what Apple's mobile phone looks like so far, preparations have begun in full swing.

The United States has a total of 50 states and 35,000 cities. The total population of the United States is just over 300 million, which makes the population density of major cities in the United States very low.

"There are only 9 cities in our U.S. with a population of over one million. They are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago ... Dallas, Texas."

Peter is the new head of Apple ’s mobile phone business. He previously worked at Motorola in charge of marketing in Asia. He returned to the United States because of family reasons. Originally, it should be possible to get a good arrangement at Motorola, but because of the strength of Nokia, Motorola's market share is getting lower and lower, so it was dug by Wenming with high salary.

"If you want to set up our Apple ... Experience Store, then these 9 cities must be selected."

In Apple's internal conference room, Peter stood at the forefront of the conference table and pointed at the map of the US cities displayed on the projector with a laser pointer. "In addition to these 9 cities, among the top 50 cities in terms of population, Fifty is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a population of only 320,000. "

"In my opinion, if our funds are not sufficient, we can completely abandon this kind of population. I suggest that cities with a population of more than 500,000 be set up to set up experience stores. According to the population ranking, we should close to the 27th Name, or Tucson, Arizona, with a population of 503,151. "

With regard to the concept of the Apple Experience Store, Wen Ming had already told Peter in advance, and Peter had already made a site selection plan one day later.

Wen Ming, who was sitting at the conference table, the first reaction at this moment turned out to be that she was really in the United States, not China.

If it is in China, the 27th most populous city, how can there be only 500,000 people?

"There is another issue to consider."

Qi Wenming sat down and said, "Although the population in the cities is small, the suburbs around these cities have a lot of people with spending power. If we don't set up an Apple Experience Store, what do these people do?"

When I heard Wenming ’s question, Peter smiled helplessly and said, “Boss, if I was not in charge of the business in Asia before, now I will definitely think you are kidding me.”

Peter introduced: "The United States and China are different. Many people may never leave the state where he was born. Of course, this situation may change with the development of the times. But now, this situation is very different. universal."

"We have a lot of towns in the United States, which is the kind of suburbs you call. Why don't these people choose to live in cities? In addition to the high cost of urban living, and because of the improvement of infrastructure, There are cinemas in every town, even if it is only a few thousand people. "

还有 "There are stores, do you know why Wal-Mart can become the third place in the Fortune 500? And among the top seven companies, except it is engaged in the retail industry, other companies are oil refining companies?"

Wu Wenming understood that Peter meant that the suburban towns in the United States had very good facilities, and that people living in the towns didn't need to go shopping in the city.

既然 "In this case, now we set up our Apple Experience Store in these 27 cities."

Peter changed the contents of the projector, showing some specific street coordinates.

老板 "Boss, according to your requirements, the locations we have selected are almost all in a city with the largest number of people. In a city like New York with a population of more than 8 million, we choose three locations."

当然 "Of course, of all our experience store investment budgets, the most expensive is Manhattan, New York."

Manhattan is the most prosperous district in New York, the most prosperous city in the world, and its rent is naturally very expensive.

Wu Wenming smiled and said, "Don't care about this money, because this is what I tell you about the high-end atmosphere."

Peter shrugged and said, "Well, now the world knows that you are rich, the boss, the youngest $ 1 billion club member in history."

Because the negotiations with Facebook have reached the level of delivery of acquisition funds and stock warrants, this matter has been jointly announced by Facebook and Apple.

Don't say it's Facebook that registered users have exceeded 1 billion, even Apple's current number of users is more than 50 million.

Ins users can still be regarded as Apple in the past few days, and "Talking Tom Cat" has also swept the United States in this week, and the number of downloads has exceeded 20 million.

A small game that has gained more than 20 million users in a week. It is also inadequate to describe it by popularity, and it can be described by phenomenon level.

The $ 1 billion Quartet M & A was completed, of which 2.1% of Facebook shares, not to mention a financially focused place like Wall Street, even those entertainment newspapers, with the 'youngest youngest $ 1 billion member of the entertainment department' Come report Wenming.

At the age of 19 and US $ 1 billion, these two adjectives have been added together, making Wen Ming an idol for many people, and of course, it has also become the fifth diamond king in the dream of the opposite sex.

After talking about the location selection of the experience store, Peter added, "We have negotiated with some agents, and they don't mind selling our Apple phones. However, in terms of payment methods, they generally think that the replenishment settlement method should be implemented. "

"That is to say, they don't need to pay any money to get a certain number of Apple phones from us. And after these Apple phones are sold, they will need to replenish before they will settle the payment with us. . "

Wu Wenming frowned, with a total of 36 Apple Experience Stores set up in 27 cities, naturally it was impossible to create the sales that Wen Ming expected. And those agents can help Wenming sell Apple mobile phones out of reach of Apple Experience Store.

The method of replenishment payment will undoubtedly increase Wenming's financial pressure. Even if the sales of Apple's mobile phone are as good as it is, the time difference of this periodic payment cannot be held back.

"I think this should continue to be negotiated with them."

Wenming is not afraid that the agent will not pay for the goods. The US law is sound. The strength and credibility of the agent will be evaluated by Apple Inc. ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Peter shook his head and said, "Boss, let them There is not much hope of paying the deposit, because our iPhone is not well known. To be honest, our company's reputation is not very helpful to the mobile phone business. "

到目前为止 So far, Apple has produced games except for one ins, and after the ins was sold, Apple has become a game company, and it is also a 'small game' company.

Wenming agreed with Peter's words. Before the previous Apple had launched a mobile phone, it had the support of ATT, the second largest telecommunications company in the United States, and various major agents. This is because Apple has established Technical and user base.

The well-known Apple company does not have this technology and user base.

After being silent for a while, Wen Ming said, "In that case, don't let them sell for us. I believe that the sales volume brought by the 36 Apple Experience Stores will definitely allow them to chase us with checks."

Peter laughed: "Boss, although I haven't seen our iPhone, but from your confidence in it, I think it will succeed."

This sentence is naturally nonsense, and Wenming doesn't care about it. The number of engineering machines for Apple's mobile phones is very small. He has been arranged by Wenming to take people to certification agencies in various countries. Sales in other countries, including the United States.

The real reason Wenming made this decision was because the shipment of Apple's mobile phones was too low, even if he added the 400 million US dollars in cash that he was about to receive, it could not increase much. One or two million iPhones, and the cities where 36 experience stores are located, can naturally be fully digested.
