Chapter 2703 Ambush

Because of the presence of Feng Yiping's two children, the dinner was particularly joyful.

This was also the first time that the Jobs knew that Feng Yiping actually had a son who was older than their daughter. Although they were a little surprised, of course, they would not ask who Vincent's mother was.

The Google brothers and their wives were not even surprised, because the two children had appeared at Page's wedding, so they had known it for a long time.

Because Feng Yiping acquired Android and released Android, he actually took over the resentment of Apple and Jobs, so the relationship between Apple and Google, which had originally been strangers, was still good. Schmidt was still a member of Apple's board of directors at this time, and it seemed that he would continue to serve.

The relationship between the Jobs and their wives and the Google brothers and their wives was of course also very good.

With Amanda and Vincent, these two treasures, even Jobs, who was always difficult to deal with, was very happy.

His happiness was also related to the good performance of iPhone 3G.

Since its global launch on July 11, the sales of the second-generation iPhone, which has an Internet speed comparable to WiFi, have been rising steadily, with sales exceeding 1.2 million units in the first week.

The most representative evaluation given to it by the industry now is that "this is the first smartphone to beat the iPhone."

"Seeing the popularity of our various channels on the day of the launch, I really can't believe that this is in China," Jobs said again.

"It's mainly because of its high price here, right," Feng Yiping added.

It is also because of him that the 3G version of the iPhone was also launched in China on July 11. The operator partner is of course China Unicom, which has always had an advantage in WCDMA, and Feng Yiping's Jiasheng Alibaba is naturally responsible for online sales.

Other sales channels include Apple's first retail store in China, which opened in Sanlitun at the end of June.

Around July 11, a familiar scene appeared there for Feng Yiping, just like the ticket halls of major train stations during the Spring Festival travel rush. Users who hope to get the iPhone as soon as possible even squeezed and bent the iron fences used for isolation and diversion in front of the store.

The other side of this popularity is its high price in China. The 8GB version is 4999 yuan, and the 16GB version is 5588 yuan. This is of course a real high price.

This is also what surprised Jobs, and made him quite dissatisfied with the current and previous Apple China management team. Since Chinese people are so rich and have such strong purchasing power, why have our computers not been selling well?

Feng Yiping couldn't tell him that the key reason for this is that the expensive Apple computers are not easy to carry around, but the iPhone can.

He was not worried about Jobs seeing this, so he would adjust Apple's domestic prices in the future - of course, increase them, because, when has Apple's domestic prices ever been lower?

But for users who need and like it, that's not a problem. The first generation of iPhone was not listed in China, and there were still many people who spent 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy parallel-imported machines and were happy about it?

Page also sighed, "China is really a huge market in all aspects,"

Feng Yiping was a little embarrassed to say anything about this.

What can he say? Could it be that some domestic consumers’ mentality when buying luxury goods, including iPhones, is simply to pursue the enjoyment of the bourgeoisie with the strength of the bankrupt class?

He can only say, “We like products with first-class product strength like iPhone.”

In fact, although he had never used Apple before, mainly because he was reluctant to spend so much money, he also knew that Apple’s mobile phone was not necessarily the best in terms of product strength, mainly because of its brand.

When people in first- and second-tier cities gradually paid less attention to consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, in third- and fourth-tier cities, people are still used to using the bitten apple on the back of the mobile phone to show their status.

He cannot and is powerless to change such concepts and reality. Maybe it will change after we host three or five more Olympic Games.

Jobs couldn't help complaining again, "Speaking of product strength, this is an important issue related to the rise and fall of a company. Why are Google and Apple developing well now, while IBM and Microsoft are declining?"

"Because we are still led by engineers and designers, and they are run by people in charge of sales,"

"So I dare say that although Ballmer is a great salesperson, as long as he is still at the helm, Microsoft will not improve at all,"

Feng Yiping glanced at Page and found that they had the same expression as himself. This man, Gates has retired, and you are still targeting Microsoft.

You are really a pair of enemies.

"... We are willing to spare no effort to improve product strength, but they only know how to settle accounts,"

Feng Yiping suddenly felt that there was no better time than this, "Steve, I have a work matter to discuss with you on this opportunity. We are developing the next generation of mobile phone panels with better performance, which will greatly improve Apple's product strength, so I wonder if Apple can afford part of the R&D costs?"

Jobs was stunned for a moment, and then smiled after a while, "Did you design this?"

"You just designed Microsoft and you come to design me?"

Just now you were still disdainful of Microsoft, well, when it comes to this, you consciously join the same trench with Microsoft, no wonder Gates can't criticize you.

But fortunately, I'm not bad either.

"As a partner, we admire Apple's pursuit of excellence in products. At the same time, as a partner, we feel that we should contribute to improving Apple's product strength. This is the main motivation for us to start such a research and development, so I think Apple should give strong support, right,"

Well, he not only has no pressure to make money from Apple, but also has great motivation.

Page and Brin gently clinked their glasses at this time, and their eyes were saying, "Look, Feng is using his best routine again,"

They have been tricked many times by Feng Yiping's "using his own spear to attack his own shield" routine.

Hehe, now it's Jobs' turn.

"If after our evaluation, this is a research and development that can really improve our product strength, I think it's not impossible,"

Jobs felt a little painful when he said this, but what can he do, who made himself so high just now.

He kept sending messages like "You have changed, you even calculated against me" to Feng Yiping with his eyes, but Feng Yiping just pretended not to see it.

"Of course there will be a significant improvement," Wu Qian came over with a mobile phone at this time, and Feng Yiping, who was in a good mood, took it with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Minister,"

Watching him walk to the window, Jobs couldn't help but complain to Page and others, "Do you think that Feng in China and Feng in the United States are completely different?"

"In the United States, he is not much better," Brin whispered, "Sometimes he takes advantage of us Jews, and we are inferior to him,"

Feng Yiping at the window turned around and said, covering his mobile phone, "I heard it,"

"It's the same if you hear it," two Jews, a former hippie, said in unison.

Laurene and the wives of the Google brothers looked at them with some amusement, men!

…………

It was almost 10 o'clock when Feng Yiping sent them downstairs. There were reporters waiting downstairs. In the flash, Feng Yiping saw that before getting into the car, Jobs shook his head at him again. He smiled and moved his mouth, "It's all for improving product strength!"

I suddenly felt that there was a knife flying in the eyes behind the glasses.

Until Laurenna gently pulled it, Jobs smiled helplessly and nodded at Feng Yiping, as if saying, "You, you!"

Feng Yiping didn't care at all. Hehe, as long as he got the money, he smiled and waved at them, "See you tomorrow."

But there is a saying, retribution will not be missed. Just when he walked into the elevator happily and was about to go back upstairs, the security personnel stopped a middle-aged lady who was about to break into the elevator, "Sorry, this is a special channel."

Feng Yiping only took a look and ignored it. He was very familiar with the security rules in such situations. No matter what the reason was, what he had to do at this time was to leave quickly.

The lady looked quite graceful, "I know, but I want to meet Mr. Feng,"

"Mr. Feng, do you still remember me?"

This time, Feng Yiping finally looked at her seriously, because Shen Xue was speaking the dialect of Feng Yiping's provincial capital.
