On the evening of April 30th, the headquarters of the US branch of Sony Corporation.

"Tomorrow, our Min Walkman will be officially launched, Yamada-san must prepare champagne to celebrate the big sales of Min Walkman!!!" said an old man in sixties.

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

Afterwards, Ichiro Yamada approached the old man in sixties and whispered: "Ms. Chiba Minister, you are coming here from Japan. You must be exhausted. I specially arranged two American girls to wait for you..."

"well!!!"

"Haha, Minister, then I won't bother you!" Yamada Ichiro bent over and respectfully exited the door, and then two tall, fair-skinned blond bunny girls walked in!

...

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

Nicholas Group Geely Hutt, Global Online CEO Jonathan Jackson, new CEO Bill Joyce, ICQ Company Tian Shuai, and 360 Holding Group Eugene Kaspersky’s top five CEOs are all online.

Geely Hutt asked: "Chairman, what is your MP3 player's name?"

"Temple!"

"Wait..." Henry read, suddenly felt wrong, suddenly remembered that there is a Dongfeng Nissan Teana car in later generations, although there is no such car now, but Henry feels a bit awkward when he reads Teana...

It's numb, it's hard to choose a name, just call it ipod... Anyway, Apple can't escape its palm sooner or later! ! !

"Tianlai is no longer called the iPod player!!!" Henry finished typing and sent it out. The current MP3 player produced by Silicon Valley Electronics Group is compared with Apple's iPod. The capacity is small and the shape is frustrated. It's simply nothing compared. However, it has already met Henry's requirements for MP3!

The first product. You can't do it perfectly, otherwise, what about the next upgrade?

The four of them saw Henry give the MP3 player the name, but none of them understood what it meant. ipod? what is this……

Tian Shuai asked: "Chairman, what does ipod mean? Does i have something to do with Apple? Their products start with i, and pod seems to refer to the compartment of a spacecraft..."

The name ipod is indeed incomprehensible, and Henry reluctantly explained: "We are not only selling MP3 players, but there will be some of them in the future. For example, computers... So, here, I first propose one to you. The concept of the'digital hub strategy' is that we will produce our own computers in the future, and the computer will become the hub or connection point of many small devices. Just now Tian Shuai said that pod refers to the compartment of the spacecraft, and this is exactly the same as me The proposed'digital hub strategy' is very similar! Our computer is a spaceship, and an MP3 player is a compartment, and the compartment needs to be returned to the spacecraft for replenishment. What is the replenishment? Of course it is a song! So, our MP3 player is just like It's called ipod..."

Henry didn't care whether they accepted this explanation or not, anyway, when Jobs chose the name, it was the meaning!

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

Geely Hutt typed and said: "Nicholas Shopping Network will promote the iPod on the homepage!!!"

Global online ceo Jonathan Jackson: "The global online portal will give each global online email user a letter of recommendation. Plus a tweet on the homepage!!!"

Bill Joyce, the new CEO of Isearch: "If you use Isearch to search for music, the first one must be the iPod."

ICQ CEO Tian Shuai: "ICQ chat interface cover promotion. Plus pop-up window! Everyday music client and www.mp3.com website are released!!!"

Eugene Kaspersky: "360 McAfee Security Guard and 360 Netscape browser double pop-up window!!!"

Henry looked at the words they typed out with emotion. This combination is almost equal to the later generations of Alibaba, Baidu 60, and NetEase jointly fighting in China. One can imagine how big a sensation it can cause...

In one day, the whole network will know the name of iPod! ! ! ! !

"The rush time for iPod music players is set at 12 noon. No matter how much it can sell in the end, the purchase channel will be closed after ten minutes!" Henry typed, "It was announced after closing that within ten minutes, there will be 10,000 iPod music players. It’s all sold out, and then tell them that next week, that is, April 8th, 12 o’clock noon to buy again!!! This way, we can create the illusion that iPods are extremely popular and very popular, which will arouse people They’re extremely curious! They would think that this product is so popular that it sold 10,000 units in less than ten minutes?! So the next time they snap up the purchase again, they will join it. And in the second snap purchase, The number of ipods has increased to 50,000, but after five minutes, the purchase channel will be closed, and then it will be announced that 50,000 ipods are sold out!!!"

When everyone saw what Henry said, they were all stunned.

This marketing method is awesome! ! !

Afterwards, everyone chatted about the details again, and it took an hour before the meeting ended.

Henry turned off the computer, took a hot bath, brushed his teeth and went to sleep. However, these ceos have to work overtime and arrange for employees to prepare to put 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 is necessary to find an OEM factory. Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. is a company of Cisco and is currently developing towards electronic foundry.

Silicon Valley Electronics Group has made a strategic investment in Hongnian Technology Company, injecting 10 million US dollars, taking 50% of the shares, and each holding half of the shares of Cisco! In the future, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will only retain factories that produce high-end products, and simple production and processing will be delivered to Hongnian Technology Company for completion!

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

Labor costs in China are 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 very low labor costs. With the rise of China, workers' wages have increased. In the future, the world's factories will be transferred to India again. India has an overwhelming population and is closely following China. The unemployment rate is among the highest in the world, and the wages of workers are really pitifully low...

India's Asanxian is so painful that they can be asked to work overtime every day! ! !

Since Silicon Valley Electronics Group does not have its own chip production plant, so. For the time being, we are also looking for other companies for chip foundry! However, it will not be long before the Silicon Valley Electronics Group will establish its own fab!

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

what is this?

So, click in and take a look, after reading it. Surprised!

You don’t actually need to buy a CD to play music. Instead, you can download your favorite music in MP3 format via the Internet and copy it to an iPod music player to play music. I rely on, so to speak. You can save a lot of money by buying an iPod music player! ! ! !

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

A dozen songs are also on an album CD. Not only the capacity is not as large as the iPod, but also some of the songs I like. But I don't like some songs, but I have to spend money to buy the entire CD, which is really uneconomical! ! !

In addition, CDs are not easy to carry and easy to damage. The Walkman is also larger than the iPod, so it can be held in one hand or put in a pocket. And this ipod metal casing is fashionable and high-end, so it is more face to take out! ! !

See how much?

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

Paralyzed, the Min Sony Walkman, which has been advertised on TV recently, is compared with the iPod. It is simply scum. The iPod is only sold for $499, but it dares to sell for $500! ! !

Sony is crazy about money and money! ! ! !

Min Walkman is also worth five hundred dollars? ! ****what! ! !

If you want to buy it, buy an ipod music player. Never buy a Min walkman. If you buy a Min walkman in the future, you will have to spend a lot of money on a magneto-optical disc! ! !

I continued to look at the ipod information, and I couldn’t help sighing that Silicon Valley Electronics Group is really generous. I bought an ipod for $499 and gave me ipod headsets, ipod chargers, and other USB universal converters, although I don’t know what a usb universal converter is for the time being. , But when you hear this name, you know that this thing is a bunker! ! ! Otherwise, how can it be called a universal converter?

Drag down the webpage a little, and there is information about usb universal converter: through universal converter, ipod music player can be connected to all computers on the market today!

Amazing!

Sure enough! ! !

Even this point is also considered, so no matter what computer you have at home, as long as you buy an ipod and have 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! ! !

"The rush to buy iPod music players: April 1st at 12 o'clock noon!"

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

When I moved my gaze 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 many people who want to buy it too! ! !

Mad, it really needs to be snapped up to get it!

What stupid company of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, if you have money but don’t make money, you don’t know how to put out a little more ipod to sell!

by! ! !

...

...

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

Ichiro Yamada rushed into the room where Minister Chiba went down the tower, yelling, panic on his face! ! !

As a Japanese old man in sixties~lightnovelpub.net~ Last night, Minister Chiba fought alone, one enemy two, it was really hard, and now he has weak legs and lethargic spirit. He wanted to sleep well and replenish his energy, who Know, I was awakened!

Minister Chiba was angry and scolded: "What is your name? Look at your panicked look, how decent you are! As the manager of Sony's US branch, you can't keep calm and be a little calmer?"

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

Minister Chiba asked while getting dressed, "What happened?"

"Minister Chiba, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell the Sony Min Walkman... From 7 o'clock in the morning to 11:30 now, only 800 units were sold in the United States, and 700 of them were sold before 9 o'clock. After being sold, only a hundred units were sold in the next two hours. I guess there will be fewer people buying in the future!!!"

"Nani!!!!!!"
