Chapter 308: Three Fatal Flaws

The latest website: And there is more than one fatal flaw.

First of all, ipod does not support windows system.

Yes.

Ordinary people may not believe, how can there be electronic products that do not support windows?

But that's how Apple hangs.

They have their Macs and they have their Mac OS.

Apple has always believed that their system is much better than windows. Everyone in this world should use Apple's system. Why use windows? Moreover, in Apple's view, many things in Windows are copied from the Apple system. Such as Windows operating system, such as task search bar ... and so on.

Of course, there are different opinions on what is going on here.

But Apple Jobs and Microsoft Bill have always been rivals.

As a rival, how could he allow his hardware to support windows.

Of course, this may not be a big problem in the United States.

Apple's computer share in the United States has reached more than 20%, and many people are Apple fans.

Combined with the fact that Apple was the first tech giant to launch a personal PC computer, Apple has a huge appeal in the United States.

But in China, although Apple is also very well-known, I'm sorry, his appeal is not particularly strong.

They'll find no use for iPods that don't support Windows, except some enthusiasts might. Just like at this time, many people bought Apple computers and found that Apple computers can only be used for typing, chatting, and editing pictures... They can't even play games.

This also results in Apple's market share in China being only 0.000000000001... well, negligible.

Since it can't support windows, why buy an iPod?

This is one of them.

second,

The first generation of iPods did not have an iTunes Store, which is a music video store.

In the past life, many people studied the iPod, and they always believed that the main reason for the success of the iPod was because of this electronic music store.

With the help of electronic music stores, hundreds of millions of fans have purchased countless songs they like through iPods.

Well, this iTunes Store is actually similar to the YY music website that Chen Yu started.

Unfortunately, the iTunes Store was not launched until 2003.

On the contrary, on Chen Yu's own side, he came up with an electronic music sales website ahead of time.

Third, the interface problem.

The iPod's interface uses the 1394 interface, which is an interface standard invented by Apple itself.

This interface can provide charging and data transmission for the iPod, which is equivalent to the charging data line of later generations.

But it is also a pity.

Although Apple is a technology madman, their interface is very fast in transmission and charging.

But it is really unfortunate that there are basically not many computers in China that have such an interface.

Even if Apple can provide conversion equipment, this also affects user operation to a considerable extent.

Apart from that, the iPod has some other disadvantages.

Such as insufficient battery capacity and so on.

But the others can be ignored, any one of these three fatal flaws, the iPod is unlikely to catch fire.

"I was really scared to pee just now."

Apple is not so invincible, why was he so nervous just now.

"Brother Jian, give it, give it back to you."

Returning the iPod in his hand to Zhang Jianming, Chen Yu looked relaxed.

"Mr. Chen, who are you?"

Zhang Jianming was a little surprised.

"What, what do you want to say?"

"The iPod may be released in a week's time."

"I know."

Chen Yu nodded.

"Then do we have any way to deal with it?"

Although Huanyu Technology is responsible for the music website business, and mp3 hardware production is in BBK, Zhang Jianming, the president of Huanyu Technology, is still very concerned about mp3. After all, this is the first hardware product of Huanyu Technology.

"No."

Chen Yu shook his head.

"what……"

Zhang Jianming was stunned.

"What, Brother Jian, what are we going to do about it?"

"You have to blow air in the media and talk about the shortcomings of the iPod."

"It's not helping them hype."

Chen Yu shook his head: "The iPod is not an Apple computer, so why are you so nervous. Besides, the iPod is even an Apple computer. How many people in China have bought an Apple computer?"

"But iPods seem to be selling well in the US."

"Oh, that's in America."

"But……"

"It's nothing but, why are you so nervous, is Apple really so awesome?"

Chen Yu was incomparably calm: "Brother Jian, tell you, in fact, some companies seem to be very good, but they may not be so good. Really..."

Patting Zhang Jianming on the shoulder, Chen Yu returned to the office very leisurely.

Of course it's coercion.

As for the thing that scared Chen Yu into a cold sweat before, it is impossible for Chen Yu to say.

...

"Chen Yu, the iPod is on sale today, do we want to take a look?"

"What catches your eyes."

"You don't want to know how iPods are selling?"

"You don't have to know, bashing."

A week later, the iPod was listed in China as scheduled.

With the Apple trademark, it is sold in the United States, and the iPod, which created a new era of mp3, has high hopes in China.

To be honest, Duan Yongping was a little nervous.

He has lived in the United States for many years and knows the horror of Apple.

Although Apple is no longer in the past, Apple's influence is not comparable to that of ordinary enterprises.

Even if it is Microsoft, in terms of influence, many people will say that Microsoft is far inferior to Apple.

As for why?

It can be summed up in one sentence.

Apple was the first company to produce personal PCs.

There would be no computer today without Apple.

Now he once again launched a brand new new iPod.

He has proven his success in the United States and must sell well in the country.

"Falling on the street?"

Duan Yongping did not expect that Chen Yu would use the word "bashing street" to enlighten iPod.

"you sure?"

"Sure."

Chen Yu said.

In fact, there is no need to analyze the three shortcomings of the iPod. The iPod in the previous life was not popular in China.

Not only did it not fire, but it didn't sell well.

To say that the most popular mp3 in China, on the contrary, many well-known domestic brands in the previous life sold well.

Such as Patriot, and Meizu.

Especially Meizu, Meizu's previous life is the well-deserved leader in the field of mp3.

Later, Meizu entered the field of smart phones with mp3, which can be described as infinite scenery.

"what are you writing?"

"Write our pear mp3 sales plan."

"Wait, what's going on here?"

The first product of Lizi Technology is mp3, and the name is also directly named Lizi mp3.

Duan Yongping was stunned when he saw several plans written by Chen Yu.

In particular, Chen Yu's price was 1,000 yuan, which Duan Yong commented on was unacceptable.

In fact, the pricing has been under discussion and has not yet been established.

"Chen Yu, 1,000 yuan is too expensive. Ordinary mp3s only sell for more than 200 yuan."

"That's normal, we're the brand."

"But the ipod is only priced at 999 yuan."

"I think our mp3s are better than ipods."

"Are you so confident?"

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded confidently.

Apple can do it, why can't they?

Ipods have so many shortcomings and dare to price 1000 yuan, why can't they?

Of course, to say that the price is more than 200 yuan is actually profitable.

But this is only a small profit.

If you want to be a brand, the price of the brand must not be low.

Nothing in this world is cheap.

As a rule of thumb, if it is beautiful...the price must be expensive.
