Chapter 2762 Android Phone
Because of Paulson's words, the whole Wall Street is happier than Christmas. Even people like Lourdes and Mai Jinheng can't help showing their joy.
This is the joy of surviving a disaster.
At this moment, Paulson, with a pale face, tired expression and hoarse voice, has become the real king of Wall Street, a king who is ready to save everyone from the bottom.
Although it will take time for his plan to be truly passed, the news he announced is equivalent to giving all companies and individuals on the verge of crisis a reassurance.
Although the hard days are still going on, at least there is a future to look forward to.
Unlike ordinary Wall Street people, Lourdes and Mai Jinheng want more after they are happy.
Paulson chose to tell the market the news in this way, which certainly shows their firm attitude. At the same time, he obviously knows that it is not so easy to get this plan passed on Capitol Hill.
So he had to build momentum in this way.
On the other hand, he announced the news without waiting for the Capitol Hill to make a statement, which shows that the situation is so critical that it is urgent, so he can't wait for the two houses to pass before disclosing it to the public.
This may mean that from now on, before the rescue plan is approved by the two houses, the situation may worsen, and there may be more companies that will follow Lehman's footsteps.
Then, surviving this period is victory.
"Everyone," Lloyd held the chair, "I urge you to seriously consider John's suggestion to issue an additional $5 billion in stocks,"
"What is more unacceptable than failure is to fall down when you have seen the end,"
"We must learn from the lessons of our peers,"
The reason why Lehman finally went bankrupt was mainly because Fuld was reluctant to sell assets at a low price, and the final result was to make those assets even cheaper.
And people like Lloyd can not only be cruel to others, but also to themselves. Even with the current low stock price, he would not feel heartbroken if he issued another $5 billion.
The company must be there.
As long as the company is there, all the losses at this stage can be earned back in multiples in the future.
"The plan will be sent to you soon, I hope," he looked at his watch, "we will vote on this issue again in 12 hours."
Although John lowered his head, he actually admired Lloyd very much at this time.
At such a time, he can still be so decisive and continue to find ways to increase the funds in his hands instead of hoping that Paulson's plan will be passed quickly. It is indeed extraordinary.
No wonder the boss invested in his company.
…………
While Wall Street was cheering, it was still early morning in Silicon Valley.
This morning in Silicon Valley is also filled with some special atmosphere. In the gym at home, on the trails in the community, on the beach by the sea... Many of those joggers and surfers are looking forward to the same Wall Street that they have never been used to.
They often glance over the news that Paulson just announced. What they are waiting for is a product launch conference to be held in New York today.
Today, the first smartphone equipped with Android system will be officially launched.
It is hard to say how many of them are simply looking forward to such a new product, but it goes without saying that this morning, there must be many people waiting to see Apple's good looks.
Under the leadership of the returning Steve Jobs, Apple has gradually improved from a rotten apple to the dazzling golden apple it is today. Such achievements are certainly the pride of Silicon Valley, but they also give people some other thoughts.
Therefore, in the Apple Park in Cupertino, the atmosphere this morning is much more complicated.
Of course, they knew the news that HTC was about to release its first Android phone a long time ago. They even knew some details and technical parameters of the product. They didn't care much about it.
We are Apple.
But the situation has changed since last night.
Bartiromo didn't care much about the phone Feng Yiping took out. Apple people are particularly sensitive.
That was obviously not an Apple, so it could only be the phone that HTC was about to release.
Although it was known that the mystery would be solved this morning, many Apple people put the screenshots of Feng Yiping's phone on their computers after Bartiromo's episode of The Wall Street Journal was broadcast yesterday, and examined it from all angles.
The result is that it should not be underestimated.
There were also several enlarged and printed photos on Jobs' desk at this time.
From the enlarged photos and videos, it can be seen that the biggest difference between this Android phone and the iPhone 3G is that it looks a few millimeters thicker.
This certainly makes Apple people proud, but at the same time, this may mean that it has a larger battery.
Jobs looked at the photos, then looked at his iPhone next to him, and said nothing.
Someone next to him said, "Feng, you are still in New York today,"
Jobs still didn't say anything.
So everyone left quietly.
It was a blessing to be able to leave his office so quietly when Jobs looked so ugly.
…………
In New York, Feng Yiping was meeting with the excited HTC team. He took out his phone again and said, "During my trial period, this phone did not disappoint me."
"We have to thank Mr. Feng for your help," Mr. Wang said very sincerely. "Our R&D personnel also said that compared with the current finished machine, the best destination for their original design should be a trash can. ,"
"I didn't help much," Feng Yiping shook his head.
I'm just taking your phone from a nostalgic style to one that keeps pace with the times.
"I personally and Android are very grateful to your company for coming up with such an excellent Android phone so quickly,"
Android has been released for such a long time, and if there are no supporting products, its popularity will soon fade away.
"This is our honor," Mr. Wang turned to Rubin, who flew here specially to attend the press conference. "We have to thank Android for your help. Thank you Rubin. I hope that our next product can also get such help from Android." ,"
"No problem," Rubin looked like a big girl going to Huaqiao for the first time today. At this time, he was even more excited and restless than the other principals.
Looking at him, he looked like he would jump up the next moment.
But it’s not until this day!
Are you ready for the guy who said that I imitate you from my hairstyle to my clothes?
"This is a very good smartphone. I believe today's conference will be very successful. I also believe that its sales will exceed many people's expectations,"
"It's just because I have other arrangements today..."
Although he was in New York, Feng Yiping had no intention of attending the press conference.
After yesterday's news was broadcast, many people called him, but Steve Jobs, another partner of United Fund, remained silent.
Feng Yiping could understand his mood.
Therefore, it is better not to attend this press conference, which will not make Jobs too embarrassed.
Let Apple and Jobs focus their firepower on Rubin.
It's good that they only targeted Rubin, but if he also attended this conference, then Jobs might have to target himself as well, which would be more difficult.
Besides, look at Rubin, does he seem to care now?
Not only did he not care, he seemed to be looking forward to that moment, and was very proud to be a thorn in the side of Jobs and Apple.
"Now we don't have to worry," Mr. Wang interrupted Feng Yiping at the right time. "We don't have to worry, Mr. Feng, that you will steal our limelight later."
Feng Yiping nodded, it was easy to deal with smart people, "Believe me, no one will steal the limelight of this phone,"
…………
At 10 a.m. Eastern Time, President Wang walked to Taichung under the watchful eyes of thousands of people. “I am very happy to meet you all here,” he said.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited," the audience gave her good-natured applause.
"Thank you, thank you all. After more than ten months of careful work, we have finally developed a product, a product that I think will not disappoint everyone,"
"It not only accumulates the hard work and efforts of all our employees for more than ten months, but also accumulates the strong product power unleashed by our innovative technologies over the past few years,"
"This is the work we are going to present to everyone." On the big screen, the phone code-named Dream slowly rotated so that everyone could see its full picture.
"Wow!" The scene immediately echoed with exclamations similar to those at the iPhone launch conference...
