v2 Chapter 275: Sniping Apple

Henry officially initiated an acquisition request to Sikorsky, and his own professional team is responsible for the specific negotiation.

At this time, "Toy Story" has been painted in the United States and received $265 million.

The box office performance is much higher than the previous life, thanks to the three months of publicity, and the large number of films in the row.

The US box office is usually a weather vane. The higher the box office, the more popular it is in other countries.

Subsequently, "Toy Story" was released in various parts of the world, setting off a wave of movie watching.

Hundreds of companies around the world have found Pixar Animation Studios to seek cooperation and want to be authorized. In order to expand its influence, Pixar is naturally happy to hear, as long as the other company is strong, it will not refuse anyone!

Galaxy Film Company established Galaxy Film Peripheral Management Company, which is responsible for the peripheral products and production business of film authorization. The Yinhe Film Peripheral Management Company also has its own production companies, the most important ones are: Yinhe Toy Company, Yinhe Apparel Company, Yinhe Book Audio-visual Company, Yinhe Commodity Company and so on. But more is to invest some funds to support third-party manufacturers, making them a relatively stable strategic partner of the Galaxy film system!

Prosperity and prosperity, loss and loss!

The Galaxy Film Company is developing well, and only those companies can make more money. The Galaxy Films can use their power to promote the film offline. All kinds of overwhelming products, ranging from computers and automobiles to toothbrushes and key rings, are launched on the market, which will inevitably attract people's attention and increase the popularity of movies.

After the success of "Toy Story", Pixar Animation Studio expanded its staff to 2,000 employees and produced two animated films at the same time.

The first is "Toy Story 2" and the second is "Bug Crisis."

Among these 2,000 people, more than 1,500 are reserve talents. After a period of training and learning, more than half of them will be transferred to the TV animation production department to be established by Galaxy Film Company, which specializes in the production of TV cartoons.

The value derived from a classic TV cartoon is sometimes more profitable than an animated film. And TV cartoons are due to the particularity of the media. It is easier to form a super IP.

Whether it is an animated film or a TV cartoon, both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard!

After Clinton came to power. Immediately implement the rapid development of information policy, government funding or provide preferential policies. Help the company build basic network facilities.

CommScope Optical Fiber Corporation has adopted digital synchronous SDH technology to enable the new generation of optical fiber to reach speeds of up to 10Gb/s.

Previously, the fastest record was only in 1992. Bell Labs and Japanese partners have successfully cooperated with 5Gb/s test products.

CommScope Fiber Optics clearly wins!

When CommScope Fiber Optics announced his development results, it immediately caused an uproar in the industry.

Now generally only 2.5Gb/s optical fiber is used. The transmission speed is slow, so users generally can only be assigned to 56kbps broadband.

When the optical fiber speed is increased to 10Gb/s, the user's broadband can be increased to 2 times. If you have money, you can use 4 times the original broadband.

Williams Telecom took the lead in using CommScope Fiber Optic's SDH optical fiber. Ready to replace the original optical fiber and upgrade the entire network!

Williams Telecom shouted the exit number: "High-speed network, unimpeded. Give you the feeling of flying-Williams Telecom, 2M broadband era!!!"

1M broadband is 112kbps, and 2M broadband is almost 224kbps.

The speed is as fast as flying in an airplane!

When other telecommunications companies are still 56kbps, but Williams Telecom is 224kbps, the gap widens instantly!

Williams Telecom has adjusted the price of access to the Internet.

The Internet access fee of 56kbps has been greatly reduced. Originally, it was US$1,000 a year, but now it is only US$800 a year!

The 112kbps Internet access fee is $1,000 a year.

The cost of 224kbps Internet access is $1,200 a year.

This pricing almost made other telecommunications companies so depressed to vomit blood. Nima’s own 56kbps and Williams Telecom’s 112kbps cost the same. Who wants to open the service in their own company?

At this time, Clinton proposed the information highway development policy, and the number of US Internet users is increasing day by day.

As for which telecommunications company to choose, it goes without saying.

Other telecommunications companies were forced to cut their prices one after another to 750 US dollars.

At the same time, many telecommunications companies jointly sued Williams Telecom for monopoly.

Williams Telecom stated innocently: “Since SDH optical fiber is the latest new product developed by CommScope Optical Fiber, the production capacity is seriously insufficient. It is very reluctant to just provide it to Williams Telecom. Alas, it’s not that we want to monopolize. , The production capacity is really insufficient...Of course, we are already increasing production capacity. I believe it will not be long before other telecommunications companies can use CommScope SDH fiber!!!"

This is the external rhetoric of Williams Telecom, but internally it said to CommScope Optical Fiber: "Don't worry, everything should be done according to the order, and the development should be done as it is..."

The longer it drags on, the more customers will be snatched by Williams Telecom.

By February, everything was fine.

Every company has developed very well. Williams Electronics has developed a new product palm handheld computer, which can just snipe Apple's Apple Newton handheld computer and destroy Apple's efforts for several years.

The soldiers are fast, and Apple's Apple Newton handheld computer is about to be released.

Therefore, palm handheld computers must be ahead.

Soon, Williams Electronics held a product launch conference and officially announced the palm handheld computer.

When Apple saw the news, it was dumbfounded, and Williams Electronics actually developed a product very similar to it.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, palm PDAs are only sold for $299. Why does this make Apple feel bad?

The manufacturing cost of AppleNewton is far more than $299...

Apple is already crying in the toilet!

When the company reported that Apple and Williams Electronics had developed the same type of product, but the price was $1,000!

Following this, Apple's stock price plummeted.

Apple hurriedly issued a statement: "The palm handheld computer is a low-end product, and the Apple Newton handheld computer made by Apple is a high-end product. The two differentiated competition, the impact is not very big! We believe that after Apple Newton goes public, it will definitely be big. Sell!"

Williams Electronics soon put the palm handheld computer on the Williams Electronics store for sale, and it can also be purchased through Amazon.com and eBay.

Palm handheld computers are light and portable, with simple and practical functions. Once launched, they are very popular among business people.

One hundred thousand units were sold in the first month.

As soon as this data came out, Apple was surprised.

Fuck, palm is selling so hot? ! Although AppleNewton is expensive, it is not bad. So I quickly ordered the factory to produce AppleNewton, and the order was that the more the better!

An Apple spokesperson claimed to the media: "The popularity of palm handheld computers, our Apple Newton handheld computers will only become more popular!!!"

Investors thought, yes, Apple’s AppleNewton has developed a multi-function, with touch screen, infrared, handwriting input (even supports cursive) functions, etc., and it also contains a variety of software to assist in the management of personal data, such as Notes , Names, Dates, and other gadgets, such as computers, conversion programs, time zone maps, etc., are awesome, they can completely explode palm handheld computers, there is no reason AppleNewton can't sell it! ! !

Apple's stock price rose sharply for a while.

Many newspapers reported: "Apple is going to rise!!!"

On April 1, Apple officially released AppleNewton.

At the product launch conference, a lot of reporters and media came to the scene.

The sales volume of Apple Newton reached more than 4,000 units that day, and the performance was gratifying. After all, the price is expensive, and you can't take the cheap route like palm. The quantity is smaller, which is normal.

As a result, the media rushed to the paper that night, and kept advocating that the Apple giant stood up again.

In the early morning of the next day, the newspaper was sent out ~lightnovelpub.net~ However, the sales of AppleNewton the next day were less than 1,000 units, which made a lot of media newspapers face.

On the third day, Apple Newton sales dropped again to only 500 units.

Media reporters, I know, AppleNewton is over and can’t be sold anymore, only about one hundred!

At the beginning, so many people came to buy AppleNewton, most of them were fans of Apple, or curious, but the high price stopped most people.

Although AppleNewton has many functions, it is of little use. Buying a palm is much more affordable than AppleNewton.

Palm is still selling big, but AppleNewton's sales are pitiful, less than 100 per day.

The Apple building suddenly collapsed, and the stock price fell wildly!
