On the evening of April 30, Sony''s U.S. headquarters.

    "Tomorrow, our minidisc Walkman will be on the market. Mr. Yamada must prepare the champagne to celebrate the sales of minidisc Walkman!" Said an old man.

    "Hi Ichiro Yamada nodded loudly.

    Later, Ichiro Yamada approached the old man and said in a low voice, "minister Chiba, you''ve come here from Japan. You must be very tired. I''ve specially arranged two American girls to wait on you..."

    "Yo West!"

    "Ha ha, minister, then I won''t disturb you!" Yamada Koichiro bowed to salute and respectfully walked out of the door. Then, two white, beautiful, tall blonde bunnies came in!

    ……

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

    The five CEOs of Nicholas Geely Hutt, global online CEO Jonathan Jackson, Isearch''s new CEO Bill Joyce, ICQ''s Tian Shuai and 360 holding group Eugene Kaspersky are all online.

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

    "Sounds of nature!"

    "Wait..." Henry read, suddenly felt wrong, suddenly remembered that there was a Dongfeng Nissan Teana car in the future, although there is no such car now, but Henry read Teana and felt a little uncomfortable

    Paralyzed, it''s hard to get a name, just call it iPod... Anyway, sooner or later, apple can''t escape its own palm!!!

    "I don''t want the name of Teana. It''s called iPod player!" Henry typed the words and sent them out. At present, compared with Apple''s iPod, the MP3 player produced by Silicon Valley electronics group has smaller capacity and smaller appearance, which is almost unmatched. However, it has met Henry''s requirements for MP3!

    The first product, you can''t do perfect, otherwise, after the upgrade how to do?

    Four people see Henry give MP3 player name, all don''t understand what it means. 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 separation module of a spaceship... "

    The name of iPod is really hard to understand. Henry has no choice but to give an explanation: "we sell not only MP3 players, but also things like computers in the future. So, first of all, I would like to put forward the concept of" digital hub strategy ", that is, we will make our own computers in the future, The computer will become the hub or connection point of many small devices. Just now, Tian Shuai said that pod refers to the separation module of the spaceship, which is very similar to the "digital center strategy" I proposed! Our computer is the spaceship, MP3 player is the separation module, and the separation module needs to return to the spaceship for replenishment. What is the replenishment? Songs, of course! So, our MP3 player is called iPod... "

    Henry doesn''t care whether they accept this explanation or not. Anyway, that''s what jobs meant when he chose the name!

    "Well, that''s the name of the MP3 player. It''s called the iPod. Next, let''s discuss how to promote the iPod! " Henry rapped.

    Geely Hutt said: "Nicholas shopping will promote the front cover of iPods!"

    Jonathan Jackson, CEO of global online: "the global online portal will send a letter of recommendation to each of the global online e-mail users, plus a tweet on the home page!"

    Bill Joyce, the new CEO of Isearch, said: "if you search for music with Isearch, the number one must be the iPod."

    ICQ CEO Tian Shuai: "ICQ chat interface cover promotion, plus pop-up window! Daily music client and www. mp3。 Com website big cover push! "

    Eugene Kaspersky: "360 McAfee security guard and 360 Netscape browser double pop-up windows!"

    When Henry looked at the words they typed, he felt that this combination is almost equal to later generations of Alibaba, Baidu, QQ, 360 and Netease fighting in China. You can imagine how big a sensation they can cause

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

    "The rush buying time of the iPod music player is set at 12:00 noon. No matter how much it can sell in the end, the buying channel will be closed after 10 minutes!" Henry said, "after closing, he announced that 10000 iPod music players have been sold out in ten minutes, and then told them to rush to buy again next week, that is, at 12 noon on April 8!"!!! In this way, we can create the illusion that the iPod is extremely popular, which can arouse people''s extreme curiosity! They will think, this product is so popular, less than 10 minutes, sold 10000 units?! So the next time they snap up, they''ll join in. In the second rush, the number of iPods increased to 50000. However, five minutes later, the purchase channel will be closed, and then it will be announced that 50000 iPods are sold out! "

    Henry''s words shocked everyone when they saw them.

    This marketing means, powerful!!!

    After that, the people talked about the details, and it took an hour for the meeting to end.

    Henry turned off his computer, took a hot bath, brushed his teeth and went to bed. However, these CEOs have to work overtime and arrange for their employees 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, as the demand increases in the future, it needs to find OEM factories. Hongnian technology company is a company of Cisco, which is developing towards electronic OEM.

    Silicon Valley electronics group made a strategic investment in Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd., injected 10 million US dollars, won 50% of the shares, and held half of the shares with Cisco! In the future, Silicon Valley electronics group will only keep the factory of high-end products, and the simple production and processing will be delivered to Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd!

    Harrison has sent technicians from Silicon Valley electronics group to the factory of China Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. to help them build an iPod factory and train their workers!

    The labor cost in China is much cheaper than that 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. With the rise of China, workers'' wages have increased. In the future, the world''s factories will be transferred to India. India''s population is bursting, and it is catching up with China. The unemployment rate is among the highest in the world, and the wages of workers are pitifully low

    India a three idle egg pain, can call them to work overtime every day!!!

    Because Silicon Valley electronics group does not have its own chip production factory, so, for the time being, it is also looking for other companies to carry out chip OEM! However, before long, Silicon Valley electronics group will set up its own fab!

    The next day, early in the morning, when people turn on their computers, they suddenly find that almost all the Internet is promoting a product - iPod music player!!!

    what is it?

    So, click in to have a look, after watching, surprised!

    Actually, I don''t need to buy a CD to play music. Instead, I download my favorite MP3 format music through the Internet and copy it to the iPod music player to play music. I rely on it. In this way, I can save a lot of money by buying an iPod music player!!!!

    Capacity 43mb, can store 40 songs, do not like songs can be deleted at any time, free space can be used to copy other songs in!

    And an Album CD also plays more than a dozen songs, not only the capacity is not as big as the iPod, but also some of the songs they like, but some songs they don''t like, but they have to spend money to buy the whole CD, it''s really not cost-effective!!!

    In addition, CD is not easy to carry and easy to damage. The Walkman is also bigger than the iPod, which is so "exquisite and small". You can hold it in one hand or put it in your pocket. And this iPod metal shell, fashion high-end, take out more face!!!

    How much is it?

    Well, it''s only $499!!!!

    Paralyzed, the mini disc Sony Walkman, which has been advertised on TV recently, is nothing compared with the iPod. The iPod only sells for $499, but it dares to sell for $500!!!

    Sony is crazy about money!!!!

    The minidisc Walkman is worth five hundred dollars**** Ah!!!

    If you want to buy an iPod music player, don''t buy a minidisc walkman. If you buy a minidisc walkman in the future, you''ll have to spend a lot of money on a magneto-optical disc!!!

    I went on to look at the information of the iPod. I can''t help sighing that the Silicon Valley electronics group is really generous. When I bought the iPod for 499 dollars, I also gave the iPod headset, the iPod charger and the USB universal converter. Although I don''t know what the USB universal converter is for the time being, I know that it''s a blockhouse as soon as I hear the name!!! Otherwise, how can it be called universal converter?

    Drag down the page a little bit, just have information about USB universal converter: through universal converter, iPod music player can connect all the computers on the market!

    What a bull!

    Sure enough, everything is possible!!!

    Even this point has been taken into account, so no matter what the computer is at home, as long as you buy an iPod and have a USB universal converter, you don''t have to worry about it. The iPod can''t connect to the computer and copy music!!!

    "IPod music player start rush time: 12:00 noon on April 1st!"

    Well, do you still need to rush? Is it exaggeration

    When I look under "one click purchase", I find that there are only 10000 iPods left in brackets!

    Oh, how about 10000 iPods? There must be a lot of people want to buy it too!!!

    Mad, you really need to rush to buy it!

    Silicon Valley electronics group what stupid company ah, money does not earn, do not know to take out a little more iPod to sell!

    Shit!!!

    ……

    ……

    "Minister!"!!! Chiba minister, no good

    Ichiro Yamada dashed into the room of minister Chiba''s lower tower, shouting and panicking!!!

    Minister Chiba, as an old Japanese Beetle, fought alone last night, fighting against two with one. It''s really hard work. Now he is weak in both legs and depressed. He wanted to have a good sleep and replenish his energy. Unexpectedly, he was woken up!

    Minister Chiba looked angry and scolded: "what''s your name? You look like you''re in a panic. What''s the point! As the manager of Sony''s U.S. branch, can''t you keep calm and calm a little bit? "

    "Yes, yes!!! Minister Chiba''s lesson is! " Ichiro Yamada nodded yes!

    "What happened?" minister Chiba asked as he dressed

    "Chiba minister, I''m afraid we can''t sell Sony''s minidisc Walkman... From 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., only 800 units have been sold in the United States, of which 700 units were sold before 9:00 a.m., and only 100 units were sold in the next two hours. I expect that fewer people will buy them in the future!"
